Wrestling Season Difficult Due To Injuries Reversals, taktclosvns. and pins arc all words that arc likely ti) cnnu- up in a tonvi-rsation with a wrestler at Red River. As with all sports a lot f hard work and time arc spent in training during the season- At the completion ot each season an awards hanquct is held and team members arc honored lor their accomplishments and contrihu lions. It sounds |ust like a regular sport at Red River, right, ' To answer this question I would like to ask vou when was the last time you spent a night with your team membets and cheetleaders eating all the tacos and ice cream you wanted lor free. ' Or how about the last time you received a can ot pop and an encoutaging word after a tough battle ' Mrs. Shaft and Mrs. Norgard have a special talent for making great ice cream tteats, and they keep in practice by inviting the entire team, plus cheer- leaders and Wrestlcttes, to the Shaft home fot a fun night together. Coach Koppy has a tew comments on the season Looking back on the season it is quite sale to say we were in a rebuilding year. We ended the year wirh 2 seniors, 2 treshman. -i sophonmres and t juniors on the varsiry team. ITie past season was both gratifying and disap- pointing. Gratifying because ot the success ot some of the young wrestlers and the placing of both the seniors in the state tournament (Todd Patron JntI, Grant Shatt ( ' ith ) Disappointing be- cause as a team we did not tare as well as I had hoped at the beginning of the season I u i things I think were the Cause of our not doing better as a team. Injuries The Worst year I have ever had for injuries at Red River. . icA of Pjnici- p.inrs We ended the season with only I ) wresrlers due ro rile Liropouts and injuries Tom Fiilipi enjoys an ict crt-am specialty at the annual Taco and ice cream party. mMmmvmi Coaches Koppy and Icagcr watch as the team warms up l o:,t aWiSasa!
