92 The 1978-79 Wrestling Raiders placed 3rd in the district Tour- nament this year, holding a record of 8-4, and placing in the top three in several tournaments. The season opened with the Antioch Tournament with the Raiders placing 3rd out of 16 teams. Maplewood defeated the mighty Mac team in the next match by only one point. The McGavock Tournament was held next in which the wres- tling Raiders took first place. A total of 12 teams were invited to the tournament. This sort of boosted their moral to go on to beat MBA the following week. The Overton Tournament saw Mac drop to 5th place out of 12 teams, and next Antioch slid by the Raiders by one point. The Hillwood Tournament watched the McGavock team drop once more, this time to 8th place out of 17 teams. The Raiders took another win after that, this time defeating Bellevue; and then losing two in a row, dropping to powerful teams Overton and Franklin. A winning streak hit home just the right time and lasted until the end of the season. The Mighty Raiders defeated Stratford, Hillwood, DuPont, Whites Creek, and T.S.B. Mac ended the season with a 3rd place finish in the District Tournament. Thats one step above last year! Raiders Finish One
