. . . a free throw, a jump shot, a rebound, a screaming crowd, a foul, a winning play, a win, a loss, a game of God! Success in Basketball comes from strong individual talent, hard work, sacrifice, and an extreme amount of devoted teamwork. Coach Mangels . . . a game of discipline and sacrifice. lt's a difficult game, because it's under such conuolled circumstances. It takes a person of great patience, discipline, and physical prowess to play that game. Bill Dahl 73 I think we had a successful season, thanks to Coach Faszholz who helped us work together and give IOOWJ, helping us take first place. Dan Kowert 75 l think that we did real good, especially since we didn't have Scuber. l thought that the subs did good all through the year and ev- eryone stuck together. Mark Brunette 7S Overall, the season had its frustrations and its highlights. It was a season of building, of gain- ing experience, and most of all, a season of gaining confidence. Coach Mangels 121

. . . a sport for the individual and the team, a sport of courage, work, and knowledge, and a sport of fun and sportsmanship. . . .the sport which enables a boy to depend solely on his own skill and abilities. At the same time, team spirit and effort is evident. There are no crutches in wrestling. A wrestler learns self- control and, as our main goal, learns how to display his Christian spirit under stress and great tension. Coach Richter . . . an individual sport, more than any other sport in high school and you need a lot of personal confidence and training. But the team is important, too. Our school should be proud of our wrestling team. Brad Tank 75 I think that this is the best season we ever had. The team grew by helping one another and a lot of success was realized through this concern for fellow teammates. I look forward to next year because of the fantastic potential that is at Martin Luther. Last year's third place winners and fourth place winners in regionals will be next year's conference champions and state qualifiers.
