WRESTLING Coach jack Olson's mat team, showing improvement in each match, registered the first winning season in Marist High history. The Spartans were 7-3 in dual- meet competition, won two of four in the Emerald Preview and tied for sec- ond place, and tied for first in the Churchill tourney despite winning only one of three matches. Larry Nugent, an excellent sophomore wrestler, gained a first place in the District meet. Wrestling in the 123- pound division, Nugent was victorious in his first match in the state competi- tion, but lost his second. Mike Gieber won a second place in the District, but was eliminated in State in the second round. Other players, in District, were Guy Stores, third, Russ Mull, third, Dan Nugent, fourth, George Sachs, fourth, Pat Sullivan, fourth. Guy Stores was selected to wrestle in the Cultural Exchange match against a Japanese team. He lost a close decision, but gave the best performance of the Eugene wrestlers.

BASKETBALL The '71-'72 basketball season was one in which victories matched defeats as Mr. DeAutremont's Spartans tallied 11 Wins and 11 setbacks. The front line stars were Mike Conklin, Woody Weiss, Tim Sullivan, Gary Hassler, Dan Harbert, Joe Hibbard, and Ray Paiement. Handling the back court cage chores were Dan Gieber, Gerry Freitas, and Dick Seven. The one -Win first half was balanced out in the second half when Marist came up with a Winning feeling, and perhaps a chance for a berth in state. But defeat struck again and the chances dimmed. Three school records were set by Capt. Mike Conklin. . . season high of 389 points, single game high of 34, and rebounds in a single game of 21. Awards were given to Weiss, Best Defensive Playerg Sullivan, Most lmprovedg and Seven, Most Assists. Conklin was named to the All-Emerald team and Paiement got honorable mention.
