EXPERIENCE IMPROVES GRAPPLER A year of experience proved a deciding factor in the success of Maple Hillls wrestling team. Show- ing vast improvement over the ini- tial year's grappling, the team ended its 1964 season with a 6-8 record. This score gains real sig- nificance when it is realized that the Wildcats held half their matches against Class A schools. Coach Michael Nagle worked with the boys each day after school and frequently on week- ends, getting them into shape. The coach forecasts an even better record next year, since experience in this sport is essential.

Wildcats profit from pre-game pointers. TRI MPHANT IN 1963 Finishing the season with a 6-4 win-loss record, the Wildcat nine showed great potential and displayed a great will to Win in their 1963 season. An opening defeat suffered at the hands of Waterford sparked the Maple Hill Wildcats to a string of four straight wins, including a 13-3 come-back over Waterford. ln spite of the loss of outgoing seniors, the team showed true co- operation and versatility. This diversity was shown by the ability of the players to play multiple positionsg three out of the starting nine were pitchers, and the infield and outfield were interchangeable. Vincent Valenti's outstanding performance both behind and beside the plate earned him abatting average of .464 and the Most Valuable Player award for the 1963 season. Through a united team effort. the Wildcats emerged with a victorious season. After hitting a homer, Valenti drives to the plate. Tossone recovers from a steal.
