Row 3: Ray- Representing Coolidge in their second straight year in a team sport, the CUHS Wrestling squads, J V and Varsity, again took to the mats in splendid manner. Coming up against many experienced teams, the Bear grapplers fared well in results. The Varsity finished with a 2-8 record, while the JV obtained a 7-5 slate, which was a great improvement over the year before when neither team won any matches. Also, one wrestler, Cliff Stuart, qualified for state, and many members placed in tourneys. Next year's teams look promising with all but 3 experienced wrestlers returning to fight again. Edward Felix strained to manuever out of an undesirable position while his opponent tried to yank his leg from his body.

118 Jim Manship awaited base. Base running was the throw as Keith Petty slid into third a vital point in the 1972 season. As the spring months arrived the varsity baseball players could be seen on the base- ball field getting into shape for the 1972 season. The first few weeks of practice before the first game was as usual the hardest. The players rand and exercised to be at the peak of condition. Timing and team coor- dination took many long, hot hours before each was perfected. Coach Hatcher worked on all fundamentals to keep his team ready against even the toughest opponents. Because the varsity team was a little weak on hitting, the team was more defen- sive than offensive. With the help on a new pitching machine, new batting cage, and with the fence being moved in closer, the hitting was improved. Coach Hatcher had confidence inthe var- sity team. It took maximum effort to sweep the tough 20 game schedule with 4 AAU teams included. Coach Hatcher, who has coached the Coolidge Varsity Baseball Teams for three years, was very optimistic towards the 1972 season. With four outstanding senior athletes and a veteran team to back them up. Coach Hatcher was convinced that he could bring Coolidge a conference and state championship.
