The Lions played well together as a team and had two quick wins at the start of the season. With the addition of Provo and Carbon to the Nebo divi- sion, Payson had a rough schedule but came out with three wins and seven de- feats. Payson showed many moments of brilliance but had some bad luck and did not make it to the state tournament. Mark Steele and Vern Tanner were co- captains for the year. The Lions have some fine boys returning and should have an excellent ball club for next year. -70-

The Payson Lions wrestling team completed their grappling season success- fully by being crowned Region 3 champs. The Lions mat athletes had ll boys qualify for the state wrestling meet held in February at Fillmore. In that meet they proved to be a tough contender by winning fifth place in the state. The Lions, under the able coaching of Coaches Fuller and Del Allgood, were led by Co-Captains Neil Davis and Keith Warner to dual matches. Payson's ag- gressive team of experienced wrestlers proved too much for B. Y. High twice, Springville, Carbon, and Lehi twice. Four matches were lost-one each to Car- bon, Provo, Delta and Cedar. ln the regional meet at Brigham Young University, Payson proved to be the strongest team by placing eight firsts, three seconds and one third. Those boys qualifying for the state competition were Wilson, Warner, Bradley, Bills, Nelson, Bowers, Schramm, Davis, Clark, Gay and Johnson. At state, Payson grabbed five places. Keith Warner and John Clark gained state championship honors by taking first places in their respective weights. Neil Davis grabbed a third place, and fourth places went to Don Nelson and Lynn Bills. -69-
