Wrestling It was the ‘‘next year” everyone talked of, wait- ed for, anticipated. We didn’t let them down! The toughest matches came early, Attica and East Rochester. Both seemed surprisingly easy. They nourished our confidence, maybe to a point of overconfidence. Then Eastridge set us straight. Mistakes were many and we almost blew it, but pride pulled us through 22-18. We knew we had it! We rolled over East and Madison, then the ultimate; revenge against Kearney was ever so sweet. It was a close-knit team on all levels; Varsity, J.V., and Frosh. Each man pulled his own weight while pushing constantly for each other. Yet, most important in our success were the contri- butions of Coach Roselli. His enthusiasm and faith in us kept the team one, hungry and eager. For all he did, we gave him the season, a pittance in a debt we could never repay. Many may won- der, but we know what it means to be the best, undefeated, 15 and 0, NUMBER ONE.
