Senior Frank Cleppe gave some insights on the Varsity Wrestling team, The 1978-79 Wrestling team had a good year. We had six wrestlers represent us in the finals at the conference touma- ment. Five of those wrestlers won. They were: Jim Lamm, Dan LeVan, Dan Luedke, Tim Moravec, and team captain Dave Schuldt. The team, over- all, took third place , It was a rebuilding year with many inex- perienced wrestlers on the team. There were only two seniors on the team, Dave Schuldt and my- self. Coaches Richter and Cattau also did a fine job of getting the team ready for the conference tournament. ' ' Varsity Wrestling 119

Freshmen Basketball Follies! 120 Freshman Basketball ' 'The Freshman basketball team didn't do as well as ex- pected in the '78- '79 Basketball season.

Coach Man- gels used the bench alot during the games getting help from For- rest Hartwig and Kent Kais . Al- though the teams overall record showed more losses than wins, we lost some close games, and they kept their composure to do better in the next game . With such teams as Dominican and St. Mary's on the schedule , it was tough to maintain a good re- cord. ' ' Andrew Hafeman Don Krubsack attempts a block
