in State Finals Matmen get in shape for a winning match. Hamilton ' s wrestling program is only two years old, and yet this year ' s team showed great strength and confidence. With many powerhouses like Harvey Overbeek, Dick Lampen, Steve Lampen, Ken Dykhuis, Jay Jay Shuck, and Bill Moore, Hamilton powered its way to third place in the regional tournaments, and the above six grappled in the State tournaments. The enthusiasm expressed by the tense audiences as they watch each match helped our boys to a 10-6-1 record for the season. Dick Lampen was chosen as Honorary Captain, Randy Kraker was Most Improved, and Bill Moore as Most Valuable by their teammates at the close of the season. Mr. Stoel has much to look forward to with many promising men returning for Hamilton ' s third year in wrestling.
