Leon Lamb Keith Hill 11 Win - 0 Loss Record 12 Wins - 2 Losses District Champion First Year Out Co-Captain Ron Mason 15 Wins - 1 Loss District Champion Varsity Wrestlers Win Sunset Croum for lOtfi Ijear Myrtle Point has reigned as wrestling champion of the Sunset Conference for the last decade. Doug Muck’s crew, which had only six senior starters most of the season, established a respectable 12 win, two loss record. The only defeats were at the hands of A-l North Bend. There were several outstanding wrestlers for the Bobcats, but none equalled the performance of Jerry Stidham. With a regular season record of 18 wins against no defeats, the 191 pound Stidham captured the state title in his division. In 22 matches, only two of his opponents escaped being pinned. Out for his first season was senior Leon Lamb who recorded seven pins in nine matches. Lamb was undefeated until the district meet. Ron Mason, 125 pound sophomore, earned a 13-1 regular season record and qualified for state along with Lamb and Stidham. In league competition, Myrtle Point fought off attempts by both Gold Beach and Brookings. Myrtle Point qualified seven grapplers for the district meet against North Coast league foes. Lamb, Mason and Stidham were the only grapplers to gain berths in the state A-2 tourney. JV WRESTLIKG.
