The Mt.Vernon JV Boys' Basketball team had a very fine group of athletes this year. The team, which consisted of l2 sophomores and only 2 freshmen end the season with an 8-10 record. What their record doesn't show is that in the five games in a row they lost, they lost by less than 3 points each. According to Sophomore Jeff Meeker, the high point of the season was dur- ing the Iowa City Regina game when the boys came back to win from a 10 point deficit with 2 minutes left in the game.

Vernon's 1986-87 wrestlers could be called a rebuilt team . VWth many young wrestlers, they ended the sea- son with a 5-3 conference record, and an overall record of 7-5. The wrestlers placed third in the Mt. Vernon Invitational and second in the EIHC tournament. Coach Bill Thomsen and Assistant Coash Dean Miller managed to send three wrestlers to state. They were Brent Durgin, Todd Neal and Darren Brokel. Durgin placed third at state. Mount Vernons wresters were hexed with injuries including seperated shoulders, broken fingers and the dreaded cauliflower ear. One wrestler was quoted as saying Next year could be the first year ever to win a State Champoinship for MMU. Many agreed that this year's building team has the definite potential to carry this feat off.
