WRESTLING An aggressive style and good hard work paid off for the Centura wrestling team this year as the Centurions captured trophies at four meets and qualified Jeff Dubbs, Bill Baasch and Dave Baasch for the State tournament. These three wrestlers, as well as the rest of the team, seemed to consistently improve from week to week and to develop their skills very well as the year progressed. From the hours of jumping rope to the “joy” of circuit training and the ever-present motivational tapes, the wrestlers took on a look and attitude all their own. This attitude, combined with the hard work paid off where it counted - on the mat. The team of twen- ty-one wrestlers had thirteen young men with winning records. “Some of the kids came away really hungry for next year,” Coach Coe said. “The kids know now what it takes to be successful in the sport. These are good people, and they have given the wrest- lers who will follow them something good to try to surpass.” Jeff Dubbs, Dave Baasch, Bill Baasch Jeff. Dave, and Jeff receive their medals.

SUB-DISTRICT CHAMPS Missy attracts a crowd when shooting. Happy Seniors: Missy, Wendi, Hali. The leadership of three seniors: Hali Lockhart, Missy Bellamy and Wendi Hadenfeldt helped make the 1986-87 basketball team enjoy a very successful 17-4 season. Together the team enjoyed many highlights during the season such as Conference Co-Champs, Conference Run- ners-up, Direct Runners-up and beating Loup City for the third time. Several disappointments were losing to Gibbon in the conference championship and losing to Battle Creek which ended Centura’s hopes for a state berth in the district fi- nals. Post season honors go to: Missy Bellamy 2nd team All State Lincoln Star, Omaha World Herald All State Honor- able Mention, Heartland All Area, All Area C-l, All Confer- ence; Hali Lockhart All Conference, Heartland All Area C 2nd team, Omaha World Herald Honorable Mention; Wanda Stienke All Conference, Grand Island All Area C- Honorable Mention; Jana Hochstetler All Conference Hon- orable Mention, Grand Island All Area C Honorable Men- tion; Jaci Johansen Grand Island All Area C Honorable Mention.
