Co- captain Tom was voted the most valuable member of the team. He compiled 23 wins, the most of this season, and also had the most pins with 45. 2. Tom is shown here finishing second at the HVL tournament. It was the first of four very successful tournaments for him. He went to take first at Districts and second in the region. Tom would advance to the STATE TOURNAMENTS. Although he only wrestled two matches, he lost to the eventual champion in the first round. 3. Paul Stucky received the Tim O'Brien Award for the hardest working team mem- ber in practice. 4. Co-captain Garry Fay took third place in the HVL and was one of the District cham- pions. He ended the season with the most takedowns on the team, a total of 36. 5. BEAR is ready to wrestle. Although Lane lost this match, he went on to finish third in the HVL tournament.
