Youthful wrestlers look to future Without a senior competitor on the team, the '77-'78 wrestlers ex- perienced a rebuilding season. Wrestling six freshmen on the varsi- ty squad proved too much of a handicap for the first year coach, Mr. Bill Lundy, as the team scoring was inconsistent. Individually, how- ever, many of the wrestlers had im- pressive tournaments showing much promise. Juniors Mike Anderson and Steve Tisdell proved the strength of the team with their frequent top fin- ishes. Anderson placed second in the talented Wichita North Tourna- ment and captured first in the Junc- tion City Tournament. Tisdell placed second in both the Hays and Junction City tournaments. Placing in the top four at Regionals and qualifying for State were Steve Tis- dell, Brad McKee, Mike Anderson and Todd Tisdell. McKee placed fourth at State to score the Cou- gars' total ten points. The highlight of the team scoring was a 30-27 vic- tory over the Manhattan Indians. Although the seasonal record was umimpressive, the young Cougar wrestlers gained valuable exper- ience. The number of lower class- men who competed and lettered provided depth that will prove valu- able. 1. .-i '+,,, ' .Q .X
