48 J. V. Wrestlers Outstanding The j.V. wrestling team had a great season this year. Nip and tuck describes the race for the championship between the Cougars and Bella Vista. Upset in the last match of the season against Bella Vista, the Cougars took second. Coached by john Zupan, the xl.V. ripped through C.V.C. competition. Talented wrestlers Harry Myers, Remo Deregibus, Wally Gross, and Jeff McClure should give the varsity team valuable assistance next year. Leading the team in pins and points was Jeff McClure. Remo Deregibus did not lose a match all season and gathered second in pins and points. I-larry Myers and Wally Gross lost three matches between them and will be the core of the upper weights next year. John Thornsberry had a fine season at 9 wins, four losses and one tie. Others wrestling well were Larry Loveridge, Bob Warner, Tim O'Kelley and Bill Underwood.

Right: Life as a coach is often tense and frustrating as shown in Eli McCullough's expressions. Below: Cougars warm up for the game against Encina. Bottom right: Rich Shipp pumps in a jumpshot in warm ups. Twenty- Three Wins Sensational is the only way to describe the varsity basketball team's year. The twenty-three wins came as the result ofa tenacious, hard-pressing defense, and potent offense. Scoring was nearly always balanced and the Cougars displayed a teamwork rare in these days of glory hunters. Unselfishness was the key to this year's offense's success. Three players broke the school's assist record for a season, Mark Meidinger, Kevin Woodbury, and Steve Morgan. Bruce Wirt led all scorers with a 19.6 point per game average, and also was the leading Cougar rebounder. Paul Tucker, Jeff Mitchell, and Kevin Woodbury all were also tough on the backboards. Rich Shipp, a 6'7 substitute. often came in and ripped down rebound after rebound. Mark Meidinger pumped set shots in from long range, and Steve Morgan drove past defenders to score on lay-ups. Eli McCullough, realizing the Cougars' potential, set them to a fast paced running style which wore opponents down.
