few but Mighty Winning was a two way street for the varsity wrestling squad, which knew what it was to both win and lose at the same time. We were sometimes forfeiting 98, 105, 119 and heavyweight matches because we couldn't get people to fill the openings, said Pete Sima. That made it nearly impossible to win any meets. While the team didn't walk away with any trophies, there were high individual marks. Senior Dan Rob- ertson led the team with a 21 -5 re- cord. The season went pretty well for me, but districts was disap- pointing, he said. Fellow senior Pete Sima racked up 19 wins against 8 losses. I won a few grudge matches against guys who beat me last year, he comment- ed. Kurt Paulson compiled a 17-10 record, and placed first in the Du- buque Invitational. The team changed form con- stantly. We had guys move up and down from JV. It was pretty loose at most of the weights, ex- plained senior Doug Stanger. Some seniors went out just for one last sport to try. The new season saw a new addi- tion in assistant coach Wade King. He joined coaches Jim Brainerd and Les Jonas alongside the mat. King's most important contribu- tion may have been his starting of a grade school program after the season. The kids were taught the “This team will see bet- ter days after some grade school kids come up with some experience behind them.” Dan Robertson basics and got a feel for the sport. Getting the younger guys inter- ested should help us out in the fu- ture, and take away the advan- tage other schools have had on us, Brainerd stated. Senior night brought out the parents for the last home meet of the season. Pete Bernal escorted his mother before the matches began. Senior Dan Robertson moves over to pin his North Scott opponent 2:30 into the second pe- riod. Caught in a cradle, this North Scott grappler has no chance against Pete Sirna The match only lasted 1:14. varsity wrestling 145
