Wrestlers Take Hold Such terms as pin, near- pin, reversal, and takedown probably have little meaning to most peo- ple, but to wrestlers, they are a part of their normal vocabulary. The wrestling Chiefs, under the direction of Coach Charles Sanders, completed a successful season with an 11-2 dual meet record.

Randy enjoyed wrestling for a different reason. I like it because it's both a team and an individual sport, and if the team isn't doing real good, you can still go far.
