The situation looked rather tense for the Viking wrestlers, but as usual they came through for Northside. Another Win-Thank You Coach Shelton Undefeated Viking wrestler Larry Stuckey goes for a pin to win the match in the regional tournament. Practicing daily during the regular season and even more often before the Regional and State Tournaments, the Viking wrestlers once more soared to the heights. Their record now holds 41 consecutive victories, and they plan to add more next year. The Roanoke Valley Invitational Tourna- ment at Northside tested the skills of wres- tlers from twelve high schools. Loyal fans saw our wrestlers carry off top honors with a score 10 points better than their nearest opponent. Mike Painter and Larry Stuckey placed first, Ricky Schilling second, Gary Davidson, Barry Francisco, Dicky Stuckey, and Mike Bailey third, and Larry Hamilton and Allen Journell fourth. Six wrestlers, Mike Bailey, Barry Fran- cisco, Mike Painter, Mark Reinhardt, Brad Smallwood, and Larry Stuckey, finished the regular season with unbeaten records. A noisy pep assembly before the team left and a bus packed full of Viking fans showed the team We backed them as they entered the State Tournament. Prospects for next year look good, since 11 on the first string team will return. Grap- plettes and all the student body hope for more successful matches and tournament victories. 123
