Seventh And Eighth Graders Show Their Wrestling Talent SMACK! The match is over! A Bedford wrestler has just pinned another opponent. The six points for each pin and the three points earned for each decision build up and Bedfordis winning tradition continues. The new assistant coaches, Tom Meszaros ad John Hofbauer were a big part of this winning season. Tom and John assisted coach Edd Bankowski in the training of the seventh and eighth grade wrestlers. They helped show the team new and old wrestling techniques to help them achieve a winning season. The long hard practices consisted of cals, drill moves, more drill moves, varsity drills and innings. it was not very often that the wrestlers, didn't have a good, hard workout. Most of the wrestlers had to lose pounds to get to their best suited weight class. Part of the sport is sacrificing food to make weight, stated 8th grader, Todd Wielinski. Practicing with the freshmen benefited some begin- ning wrestlers while it just made problems for others. i think its great to wrestle with he freshmen because it can only make us better, 7th grader Nick Buchanan stated. There were two outstanding wrestlers, who were undefeated this year, Steve Edwards, who has been wrestling for 8years and Drew Wing, who has also been wrestling for 8 years. I joined wrestling because of the good tradition that Bedford wrestling has, stated teve. Drew started wrestling in the hrst grade at a clinic just for fun. iiMy goal for the uture is to be the best I can possibly be and improve more and more every year, Eighth grader Jeff Reau, wrestles hard against his Deveaux he stated.
