Girls' Basketball Goes To Districts The girls' basketball season was brought to a close with an impressive 9-5 record in regular season games. Under the coaching of Kathy Nelson, the girls worked diligently to improve confidence and co-ordination as well as skills. It was this kind of determination that resulted in such a fine season record which enabled the team to ad- vance to sectionals. Continuing their success, the team became sectional champs by defeating Woodridge 45-37 and Bedford Lumen Cordium 46-33. Districts were the next stop, and St. V.-M was the scheduled opponent. Un- fortunately, our team was defeated, yet it Was a commendable effort by the girls. They lost by only one point 34-35. The youth and strength of this team promises future success.

Wrestlers Have Successful Season .' J asf' , f fT0pj Senior jim Dougherty fights to turn his adversary over and pin him to the mat. fAboveJ Sophomore Mark Holland battles with his rival. After a number of mediocre seasons, the Hoban wrestling team came out this year with a group of highly- talented grapplers. This fact, and also the fine coaching of Mr. Ralph Paonessa, was the reason behind the team's great success this year. Seniors played a key role in the success of the team, especially co-captains joe Klein and jim Dougherty. Both of these highly talented and experienced wrestlers helped lead the team to many great victories. The team has a lot of talent for next year as Well, with juniors like jack Kelley, Iohn Coatter, Tim Angel, Pat Kennedy, and Re- naldo Tyson. At the beginning of the year, hopes were high for a successful wrestling season, and the Knights got off to a good start by beating a good Kent Roosevelt team.

Perhaps the most satisfying victory of the season came with a big victory over St. V-M, as the outcome of the match was in doubt up until the final match. Great performances by all the members of the team helped us win over a dismayed bunch of lrishmen. Springing off of this win, the Knights completely overpo- wered Canton Central Catholic by a score of 49-6. In the next match, a confident group of Hoban grapplers went on to defeat a strong Barberton team. After taking third place in the Coventry tournament over the Christ- mas vacation, the team went on to vanquish a strong and determined Ellet team. 113
