Eastern Wayne Mat Men Are At Their Best The 1986-87 VVrestling Team coached by jim Bennett and Mike Brown had a good season. Un- fortunately, there was a lot of sickness. The Hu struck the team around the time ofthe Christmas Tournament and later an outbreak of chicken pox occurred. These sicknesses caused a few matches to be canceled, but fortunately the players were back on the mat and ready to go in no time. Wrestling is a rigorous sport with workouts everyday except for match days and Saturdays. Practice lasts two hours and the team then has time to go through moves and agility drills. Con- ditioning is the most important aspect of the sport ofwrestling. All wrestlers have to maintain a certain weight to be able to wrestle in their weight class. Coach Bennett pointed out some of his out- standing wrestlers. Senior leaders were Nick Smith, Ricky Hooks, and josh Marshall. For the juniors there were Robbie Tyson, Scott Riggs, Volodja Tymoschenko, Anthony Scrufari, Sean Kileen, james XVest, Andy Tate and Matt johannes. Sophomores showing promise were Terry Murjada and jay Willey. There was one starting ninth grader during the season. The wrestler was Wayne Smith. The Wrestling Team consists of Ernie Best, Kevin Bodiford, Aaron Bouillon, Scott Buettner, Steve Callis, joe Carlyle, jerry Carter, Brian Dawson, Allen Gallagher, Ricky Hooks, Matt johannes, Sean Kileen, Scott Lewis, josh Marshall, Chris McKee, Russ Mitchell, Terry Murjada, Danny Parker, Ray Price, Scott Riggs, Anthony Scrufari, Andy Tate, Volodja Tym- oschenko, Robbie Tyson, Robert Wexler, jay Willey, and Bobby NVhitely. At the Conference Tournament held in February, josh Marshall took the conference title for his weight, as well as medals for quickest pins, most pins, and the MVP award. Robbie Tyson and Nick Smith also won the title for their weight class, along with Ricky Hooks, Andy Tate, and Sean Kileen each placing third.
