We had a lot of new wrestlers who did a fine job, said Coach Mr. Butler at the end of the season. Jones ninth grade wrestlers started out the year in winning style by winning their first match at the new Jones 33-24 over Muncie South. They kept the style of winning going by ending the season with a 5-2 record. Two of the outstanding players were David Gibson and Reggie Smith. Both of them went undefeated. David and Reggie had records of 27-1 and 26-1 respectively over their three year junior high wrestling careers at Jones. The team did a real good job and everyone cared about each other, said Kerry Wright, a ninth grade wrestler. There weren ' t a lot of fans at the matches, but I don ' t think it hurt our season any, said Steve Clemmons, a ninth grade wrestler. Jones ninth grade wrestlers had many wrestlers who had wrestled three years at Jones. Those wrestlers were able to see their third straight city championship. Also these wrestlers saw in their three-year career their only two dual meet losses. LEFT: Terry Wright eventually pinned his Muncie Central opponent. Terry was one of four undefeated wrestlers.
