Grapplers thrive on determination Wrestling is a team sport that stands alone. Not many people under- stand its strategies and exceptional wrestlers are few and far be- tween. Dedication, desire and determination was the team motto this season. Along with this came two new coaches. Mr. Dave Stark became the new head coach and Mr. Dave Ticen the assistant coach. For a young team the grapplers faired well. The team was not ex- pected to do well, but it ended the season with 6 wins, 10 losses and l tie. Scott Surber was the team's most outstanding member. He wrestled in the unlimited weight class and ended the season with 16 wins and no losses. He also tied the school record of eleven pins in one season. Senior Kelly Williamson, Juniors Randy King and Brett Bollinger and Sophomore Eddie King were also exceptional wrestlers this season. Workouts were strenuous, involving two hours of pure movement and hard work. The grapplers did calisthenics, learned new techniques and wrestled each other to ready themselves for matches. We're looking forward to a good season next year. Even though we'll be losing three seasoned wrestlers, we will have a strong set of good underclassmen, commented Coach Stark. l.
