De- spite a lack of team identity, consistent play and clutch shooting exhibited by Diana Leighton gave the Raisins the needed stability to live up to the team's reputation as a top contender in league action. The girls finished the season maintaining their status as Frontier League Champs and Playoff Champs. They had their usual im- pressive league record of 12-3 and an overall record of 17-5.

Raisins is to progress and master basic skills. They spend most practices concen- trating on developing good tech- niques to prepare them for Varsity competition. Coach Dowlearn not- ed Tracy Leighton as the most im- proved player in all areas and Cherry Valley, one of the better players, also showed a great deal of improvement. Although Coach Dowlearn says that the team record does not reflect the skills of the girls, she stresses that they need to be more serious and dedicated to the game.

Coach Jamieson experienced a tough year as a new coach as his team faced a myriad of difficulties, including bouts with injuries and sickness leaving the grapplers with many unfilled weight classes. Many individual potentials were met during the season. Dave Thom- as took first place at the Lancer's Tournament and Frontier League Tournament, and second place in Class D, Secion Ill action. Also, both Sam Washburn and Scott Fe- lio received second place trophies at the Lancer's Tournament. The outstanding match of the season took place against Water- town where the Comet wrestlers each performed to the best of their ability winning the match with a 33-32 score. S C o Sports
