VARSITY WRESTLERS FACED Wrestling has proved to be an endur- ing sport, teaching its disciples the meaning of sacrafice and determina- tion. This year the wrestlers were presented with many challenges in- cluding the Japan-Arizona Cultural Exchange Wrestling Match. Wres- tlers for this were chosen across the state by the Skyline Division coaches.
