Pin to Win When we mention wrestlers, most of us think of lorge overweight men with little in- telligence. Actuolly, high school wrestlers ore highly conditioned, strictly troined, ond completely dedicoted othletes. North's wrestlers went through strict ond very strenuous proctices everydoy, before ond during the seoson. An estimoted thirty boys initiolly tried out but were discouroged by the proctices, ond the number of boys dropped to thirteen before the seoson begon. Pot Wright, second yeor wrestler, exploined why he thought so mony of the boys reolly drop- ped. Wrestling is o very hord ond demonding sport. lt tokes dedicotion ond determinotion to finish the yeor. They just couldn't hondle the work. After school, doily proctice wos held in room 102, which during the school doy wos one of the moin ort rooms. Along with the l regulor collisthenics, the teom ron o three mile course which, to most of North's Pied Knights, seemed like o morothon. Eoch wrestler hod to quolify ot o certoin weight every time he hod o motch or the teom wos forced to forfeit. Then the oppos- ing teom got six points without hoving o contest. The 1984-85 wrestling cooch for the third yeor, wos ogoin Cooch Fronk Droke. Cooch Drolfe worked out olong with his squod. ln o woy, he become one of the boys, which ollowed him to teoch them the fundomen- tols of the sport from the personol stondpoint. Among the mony fine wrestlers, one hod on outstonding yeor. Shoun Eorhort, wrestling in the 101 pound closs, wos undefeoted with o record .of 13-O, including 8 pins. Shoun wos o second yeor veteron to the North teom. Following closely in Junior Por Wright forgets thot he's supposed to be wrestling, ond tockles his opponent. Wrestler Gibby Gibson, reoches to block his oppo- nent's grosp. Shoun 's footsteps wos Pot Wright, olso se- cond yeor veteron, who hod o record of 14-8 with six pins. For the second consecutive yeor, the junior vorsity squod wos plogued with o lock of porticlponts. The teom wos forced to forfeit severol motches becouse there were only four wrestlers on the J.V. teom. Eoch yeor, North's wrestlers ochieved greoter gools ond become better skilled in this demonding, but rewording sport. All the Red Knights ore hoping thot the success of the yeor's teom will be on incentive for the other othletes who hove on interest in wrestling to come forword ond occept the wrestling chollengef' In this Silver Anniversory yeor, Red Knights were proud of the success of the 1985 teom ond expect it to be on incentive for other North High School othletes.
