J.V. Strive for Success If all that the O'Gorman junior var- sity wrestlers needed for victory was blood, sweat and tears, last year's team could have wrestled the world to a stand-still. Alas, fate does not always smile on the right side of the fence. In their first match of the season, the jv wrestlers were beat by Bran- don Valley. This story was repeated in the next match with Huron. The next two matches were victories against Sisseton and Milbank. The scores were 39-30 and 48-15 respec- tively. Again, the wrestlers felt the depression of loss from Lincoln, Sioux City East and Sioux City North. The team broke their losing streak by defeating Lennox 45-17. Another Sioux City team, Heelan, crushed the Knights into seeming submission. ln retaliation, the wrestlers smashed Heelan's brother-school, Sioux City West, 36-24. The jv Knights' last two matches of the season were losses to Washington and Yankton. ln the Central Lyon Junior Varsity Tourna- ment, the wrestlers finished third. Some of the outstanding junior varsity wrestlers were Steve Stott, Roy Adams, Dave Molohon, and Cor- ey Ferrie. These people and the rest of the jv team proved that success was measured in more that digits and letters. Success was metered out in the pulling together of a team and their soaring spirits. ln that, they were victorious. gli. Ssssi k,,.,un1' .-. . . . t.,.X A ., r

Because the team was made up of mostly underclassmen, the future looks bright for the O'G volleyball team. The Knights only lost two seniors, Sandy Delker and Jolene Hiebert, both contributed vital floor leadership. O'G improved or repeated their place winnings from last year. They repeated as Dakota Dome cham- pions. ln the Sioux Falls Lincoln tournament, the Knights finished second, because of an impressive split decision over Washington. O'G made it into the finals. Causing two upsets, the Knights defeated both Lincoln and Washington to take another second place finish in the Power 51 conference tournament. O'G fought to finish third in the regional tournament. Basically, this season, O'G was a team that wasn't supposed to be but almost was, commented Coach Kathy Hunt. i TOP LEFT: Sandy Delker bumps the ball in attempt to counter the op- ponents attack.
