The Gold Fever Gang The gold fever gang welcomed six re- turners back to the team this year. Two of which were seniors. The team came a long way since it first began four years ago. They took thirteen members — the whole team to Regionals, and they took seven members to state, which led to a state victory and a first place medal for Senior Chris Riddle at state. The team had many new members, but remained a strong and dedicated group. They re- corded quick pins such as Junior Otis Brown with 1:07 and Senior Larry Mer- edith with 1:15. They captured a lot of Gold and Silver this year and added to the Bronze. The Gold Fever Gang proved dedication pays off. 1. ROW 1: Mgr. Michele Nolan, 98 Ib. Albert Lazono, 126 lb.
