The 1987-88 season marked the second consecutive year that the wrestling team dominated its league and won the league championship. While recording an overall 11-1 record, the wrestlers remained undefeated in league matches 18-OJ, winning all by huge, undisputed margins. In fact, they won all league matches by more than fourteen points and their average margin of victory was twenty-eight points. As a team and as individuals, the Kings Park wrestlers were overwhelmingly victorious. ln the area of tournaments, the team came in first in the League IV Championship Tournament and the Ward Melville Christmas Tournament. They also placed second in the Smithtown Tournament and fourth in the Bellport Christmas Tournament. In addition, they captured twelfth place in the Section Xl Tournament, which encompasses most of the schools in Suffolk County. The starting team consisted of regulars Jose Cavero, Nick Mancuso, Dong Lin, Danny Diamond, Joe Schultz, Dave Pagano, Mike Maletta, Joe Leo, Pete Krpata, Joe Montaldo, Pat Clancy and Chris Short. As individual wrestlers, Kings Park had fifteen all-league wrestlers and four league champs, both record highs for the school. Although the team will be losing seven senior starters, it appears that the 1988-89 season will also bring success to Kings Park. With the expertise of Coach Davey and many remaining skilled wrestlers, the future looks bright. 0 , 0 , l azzlin Rasslin William Floyd .. Rocky Point . . . . . . Copiague . . . Deer Park ..... . . .
