They took 1st place in the Boulder City Invitational, and 2nd place in the Rancho Tourna- ment and Moapa Valley lnvita- tional. They've also beaten four Varsities out of all the schools. Over all, their season this year has been a good one. The players attitude toward wrestling is that of teamwork. They get along with each other and encourage each other to do their best. Right now we have a good, young group of wrestlers. Most of them are rather new, but we feel they're going to repre- sent the future of wrestling at El- dorado High School. nation to win, the J.V. Wrestlers usually listen to music to get psyched-up, or just try to stay preoccupied with something for awhile before a vigorous match. The Wrestlers have to practice ten days before they can com- pete. Some of J.V.'s outstanding wrestlers this year are Jin Jin Ca- shimaro-105 pounder, Howie Ma- gawlen-189 pounder and David Frankenburger who's a senior for J.V. this year. The team as a whole is doing a great job over- all. When asked what he liked about coaching, J.V. Wrestling Coach Jimmie May said, l just like watching a kid improve from the beginning of a season to the end, as for taking a yound kid that is not well skilled in wres- tling and then improved well at There is a lot of tension in- volved in playing in these wres- tling matches.

All of this spirit and support is for the Eldorado Boys' Basketball Team. Our Varsity basketball team is made up of a group of highly skilled indivi- duals who realize that teamwork is the most important part of win- ning. When on the court, the players display their true athletic talents. Most people don't realize that many hours of rigorous training must be com- pleted before these re- sults are reached. Bas- ketball practices are ex- tremely difficult. Head Coach Stephens and his assistant coach, Len Czarnecki make sure the players are worked hard so that they can insure a win over their oppo- nents. The coaching staff is a major part of the Sunde- vil Varsity Basketball vic- tories. Because of their strategies, the team can outplay their opponents. Another important part of winning is cooperat- ing with each other. lf the players thought of just themselves and played with no consider- ation for the team's benefit, we would have a season of no wins. The players must function to- gether to win, and they do. The team members play with spirit and good sportsmanship. Rich Lauby, Dana Har- ris, Dwayne Stephens, Willie Banks, Lester Turner, and Lemarcq Young are Eldorad0's best and most outstand- ing players, according to Coach Stephens. l'They've hustled and- done a good job, he says of the team as a whole. No specific oppo- nent poses a major prob- lem for the Eldorado team. Coach Stephens commented that every game starts over again and .. Either you do the job or you don't do the job. As long as the team members mature into good citizens, the Coach feels he is doing his job.
