Pinning Down Another Good Year A very fine season resulted with the success of Conner's coach, Wayne Badida who has been the wrestling coach since the school was first opened and is highly regarded by his wrestlers. Assisting Coach Badida this year is a new coach Mr. Tom Stellman, who has really contributed his time and effort in helping the team prepare for upcoming matches. Curt Messerly comments, No one coach can know it all, and Mr. Stellman has given us a lot of benefiting knowledge that has helped the team greatly. The 16th annual Conner Wrestling Invitational was a success with the Cougars finishing first with 196 points. Contributing to the win were champions Curt Messerly, John Wyan, and Bob Roland. Curt Messerly also received the award for Most Valuable Wrestler. Overall, twelve wrestlers from Conner placed in the Invitational. The season ended with the team placing 9th in this year's State Tournament where Jeff Thomas finished 3rd and John Wyan placed 2nd. Congratulations to the coaches and the team for a fine season.
