A few of the top team members were Mike Forde with 30 takedowns, Rick Simons with 18 escapes, and Ken Mills with 17 reverses and 20 three-point near- falls.

Varsity Wrestlers Do Commendably The East Kentwood Varsity Wrestlers, coached by Rick Smith, performed commendably during the 1983 season. The team com- pleted a 2-5 dual conference record. This is not a true indica- tion of our team because of the many forfeits that we have been giving in most duals, remarked Smith. However the Varsity team did place third in the conference tournament, with seven out of ten wrestlers placing. The team also had top perfor- mances in the region, in which they placed fifth, and in districts, finishing third. Kentwood had three participants compete in the State Finals. They were Mike Sciba, who finished sixth, Kevin Anderson who placed in the top twelve, and Scott Packer, who took the Class 'A' Title. tAl Jeff Bertucci has a hold on the situation.
