The North match got off to a good start when Robert McGough, who went on to be undefeated in dual meets, pinned his opponent. The grapplers went on to an overwhelming victory over the Vikings. The wrestlers ran into bad luck when they needed it the least. Sickness and injury hit in the lower weight classes as the match with a strong Cuyahoga Falls team approached. The team put on a great battle, but with the end of the Falls match, came the end of the team's dream for an undefeated season. The Knights smashed the young Walsh team in their next match with the St. V-M match coming up. The team was still plagued with injuries going into the match with the irish, and despite the cheers from the large number of fans, the Knights were edged out in a close, competitive game. Coming out of this defeat, the grapplers placed third in the NEOC tournament. Seniors Randy McCree and Pat Kennedy did exceptionally well becoming NEOC champs in their weight classes.

Baseball: Best Season in Years Coach Ray Sharnsky led the baseball team to a 9-14 season which was the best Hoban has had in several years. The Knights suffered many close losses, but as the season progressed, the team gained strength and was able to win several games. Although the team lost the season opener, the Knights came back with a terrific show of force defeating Rootstown by a score of 17-2 in the next game. Other big victories came when Hoban defeated Revere 4-0 in a game which saw Tom Paris pitch a one-hitter, and in a 5-0 shutout of a strong Ellet team. In the final game, the Knights came from behind in the final innings to defeat Revere 6-3. The J-V team, also coached by Mr. Sharnsky, ended its season with a 2-5 record. 62 ABOVE: Junior Jerry DiRoberto fields a ground ball hit to third base.
