Abozre: Greg Holloway. Brandywine's heavyweight wrestler, shows his opponent the control and balance that lcd him to many deciding victories at crucial times. WRESTLI G '64 Wlith Mr. Helmbreck coaching in his first season, the BHS grapplcrs steered a course of victory to finish with a 7-2 record and a third place in the Blue Hen Conference. State Champion Dave Bailey remained undefeated in the 165- ,pound class, leading the Bulldog attack. Taking a second in the State Meet, Senior Eric Buonassisi also contributed greatly, along with Russ Rhoads and Captain Bob Slavin- who each took a fourth place in the Delaware State Wrestling Tournament. Senior Greg Holloway loomed as a big man in more ways than one, as his was often the deciding match of a meet. Eric Sallee, Al Boyce, Woody Anderson, Ed Heyden, Bill Whitesell, Bob Ralston, and Bob Bratton were other point contributers. After Heating up! the Wilrriingtoii Red Devils in the season opener, the Bulldogs suffered a temporary setback at the hands of De lla Warr before moving on to trounce the Green Knights soundly. Defeated once more by Conference Champion William Penn, the grapplers completed the season unscathed-beating Christiana, PS. and Dickinson. ln the final dual meet of the year, the Bulldogs downed Newark in a hotly contested battle for the third position in the confer- ence, with Greg Hollowayls pin of Bob Rawstrom in the un- limited class being the deciding factor. Above: Twice Delawarels f4Wrt-stler of the Year, Brandywine alumnus Ranny Marshall helps Eric Buonassisi with some of the moves which lielpcd Eric to a second place in the l54-lb. weight class in the state contests. Above: 'fSay Uncle! chides Bob Slavin as he applies additional pressure to his hapless and helpless opponent.

Relozr: State Champion Dave Bailey demonstrates the strength and agility which he utilized throughout his undefeated season. The 165-lb. Bailey won all fifteen of his matches to become BHS's only undefeated wrestler this season.
