However, the season did not go without its good moments. The team finished second in the Parkway Quad. Also, the most valu- able Freshman James Brown finished the season with a 14-3-1 record. Dave Edwards was given the most improved wrestler award for his hard work and his 12-5-1 record. Coach Davis added, Even though they have little experience, I can see they will be competitive in the near future. is I OG 0000 O 1 U O 2 Ritenour Kirkwoor McCluer Fox Northwe: Lindberg Mehlville West Oakville Lafayette MHKEBWWV !W w-Wg, NWNMQFV 619' UWV gr .'
