Varsity Completes Record Season The crowd roared its approval as the Patrick Henry team disap- peared into the locker room for the half-time reflections on their performance. Here in the first round of the Group l-A tourna- ment the determined team of Patrick Henry juniors had man- aged a one point halftime lead over Manchester after leading by as much as eleven at one time. Although the second half found Manchester victorious it also completed the most outstanding basketball season in P.H.'s four- year history. Many firsts were ac- complished by this Patriot team. The century mark was passed against Franklin County's Eagles and a victory was finally won against Lynchburg's E. C. Glass High School in the second round of the regional tournament. No- ble Marshall tied the mark for in- dividual scoring high in one game with 26 points. Marshall and Jackie Burrows, co-winners of the team's Most Valuable Player Award, will combine with return- ing letterman for next year's promising Patriot's basketball team. P.H.

Patriot Mafmen Experience Close Decisions Wrestling, o rugged, individual sport, has finally caught on big in the City-County. Wrestling severely tests a boy's strength, quickness, and agility. Competi- tive spirit, desire, hustle, and ex- perience are also necessary- if a boy hopes to become a successful wrestler. l965's 5-8 record was just the opposite of 1964's winning sea- son. However, in three of the matches the Patriots needed only one more individual win to have won the entire match. Mike Blasiole, Patrick Henry's all-state football player, and Gary Powers led the team in vic- tories. Sidelined for the first four matches, Blasiole returned to ac- complish an undefeated season with a perfect 9-O won-lost record. Mike was named Patrick Henry's outstanding wrestler for the second straiaht year. Powers had an outstanding ll-2 record in his first year as a varsity wres- tler. The Western District Tourna- ment, held at Northside High School, was o series of upsets and many of the favorites were disap- pointed. The heavily favored Northside Vikings won their sec- ond Western District Champion- ship. Of the twelve Patriot entries only two finished fourth or better to be eligible to compete in the State Championships held at Maury High School, Norfolk, Vir- ginia. Larry Davidson placed third and Gary Powers finished fourth. Although academic ineligibili- ties hurt the Patriots, lack of ex- perience was the major cause of this year's disappointing season. Many of the boys are freshmen and sophomores, and with proper development and hard work they can provide Patrick Henry with a strong nucleus for future years. Mike Blasiole, Patrick Henry's out- standing wrestler, had a perfect 9-O record in the heavyweight division. Here he lifts Bob Copty in an exhibi- tion match. Members of the Wrestling Team: Gary Powers, Larry Davidson, David Fisher, Don Powers, Buddy Adams, Richard Light, Jack Ross, Victor Brugh, Dee Copenhaver, Bobby Crawford, Mike Blasiole. .g fr mv- , i wr Q 2 s. i it Q. . 5 X x Sift lm wa tex f MM ,iff-fi wwf ,MW 'ww 44 X X iqg 'Zin'
