Saguaro placed fifth in its division, sending , four people to state. This year Saguaroos wrestling team had another winning season. This Win- ning doesn't come from just going out on the mat and wrestling, but instead comes from hard work. Wrestling is an endurance sport and therefore has probably the most strenuous practice of any sport. There is also an immense amount of work done by the coaches, who devote their hours after sched- uled classes to work with the wrest- lers, teaching necessary skills and offering critiques on their matches. Saguaro won 6 matches and lost 5. We placed fifth in the rough Central Divi- sion, defeating all the other Scottsdale schools. We sent four men to state, Phil Taber, Phil Bird, Rick Dilella and Roger Abdin. Of those four, only Phil Taber placed, taking third. With this record and many returning lettermen, Saguaro can expect an excellent season next year. 122-VARSITY WRESTLING In a match held at Saguaro, John Perryman works to free himself from his West High opponent. John Went on to free himself but even with all his hard Work he lost his match by a very close margin. The team won by 3 points, 24-21.
