To put seven in the finals and win'em all is unheard of. That shows one thing. We're a tough team. With four ranked teams, this was the toughest zone in the country. Butch McFee, Bill Anthony, Antione Parker, Larry Thompson, Kory Taylor, Robert Wilson and Anthony jefferson came away with titles at the Zone Champion- ships. Ronny Higdon at 134 placed third and gained a wildcard berth Werner was happy with Higdon's wildcard spot, but was disappointed that Richard Agee was not selected. It's a shame that you can have a wrestler that is 27-6 on the season with all his losses coming to the number one and two men in the nation, and he doesn't get to go to nationals, Werner said. The team wrapped up the season with a sixth place finish at the National Tourna- ment in Chicago. The finish was the best in the history of GCCC wrestling. Three wrestlers earned All- American status by placing in the tournament. They were Anthony Jefferson, 2nd at Heavyweightg Antione Parker, 3rd at 142 pounds and Ronny Higdon, 8th at 134 pounds. Jefferson made it to the championship match and was defeated by Copache Tyler of Lincoln College, Ill. Parker won his consolation finals match in overtime 5-3 by defeating Bob Gallagher of Lakeland. Higdon lost his match dropping a 4-3 decision to Robert Young of Triton. According to Werner, We wrestled some bad matches, and werenit as aggressive as we should have been. But, you can't cry over spilled milk.
