Powers Pinned Powers' Mat Boys were definitely pinned this year, as their final record proves at O wins and 7 losses. Dennis Bundy made it to the Dis- tricts, was appointed most valuable player, and Captain for next year along with Paul LaVielle. Although Coaches Garner and Weisler were let down, the young team should benefit well from such a tough year. Oh yes, we stand defeated, but the Powers Wrestlers look forward to coming on strong next season. spam l3l

Tennis Team: Up Against Tough Under the direction of Miss Molly Sapp and through hours and hours of training and preparation the ten- nis team ended up with an ade- quate season. Although the records show no great accomplishments, the team did a fine job with the stiff competition they went up against. The highlight of the season was when the Powers Netters stole the first place position at the Hamady Invitational tournaments. They found no serious difficulties in cut- ting through Hamady, Ainsworth and finally Atherton en route to winning the title. Junior Paul LaVielle and sophomore Paul Dre- von added their talents by captur- ing the second flight city champion- ship. The Chargers can look forward to a promising future as all their starting players will be returning. The records are continually improv- ing as tennis is becoming a major sport at Powers.

We re No 1' We re No 1' This year Powers proudly boasted the best Class B baseball team in the state. The year ended with the Chargers second in the city, first in districts and region- als, and easily acquiring the state title. Total teamwork and involvement by all were the keys along with a large amount of talented individuals. Ken Zimmerman, pitcher, received the most improved player award, while Craig McGinnis was rightly named the team's most valuable player.' His outstanding 13-O pitching record caused him to be drafted by the Chicago Cubs. Craig and Brian Petroff were named All State, first team. Abelardo Quiiano made the second team as a catcher. Paul Stringer, Brian Petroff and Jerry Reinhart were three reasons the team batting average was .31 4. Their powerful hitting was a great asset. Head Coach Jim Vanitvelt, pitching coach Dave Weisler, and first base coach Dave Durkin are to be commended for their championship season. This team has proven that the Chargers are the team to watch in the years to come.
