Photo by Ted Conn his years' team looks good on paper, said coach Rudy Guevara at the beginning of the season, We have some returning sen- iors and some good young talent. Com- ing off an excellent season last year, the grapplers 87 - 88 season did not seem as impressive. The team compiled a 4-7 record. After a league opening victory over Yerba Buena by a score of 54-22, the Saints went on to edge out Andrew Hill 42-31. Things began to get tough for the boys as they then began to take on the ft 1 team in the Central Coast Section. Everyone on the team fought very hard, but they came up short 42-21. The team's luck began to whither still as star heavy weight, Val Laologi broke his jaw in an unfortunate acci- dent. He had strung together an 18-1 record before the accident and was a major part of the team's success. Before the team knew it, the season was drawing to a close. The final dual meet of the season was here and it was against rival Oak Grove. John Sleeman commented, The whole team was pumped up. We never liked to lose to Oak Grove in sports or anything else. Fighting until the end the wrestlers came up short 31 -29. It was a hard-fought match and it was too bad they did not win. Finally the climax of the entire year was drawing to a close. The M.H.A.L. finals were coming soon and it was time to work harder than ever. The week before the finals are always tough at practice, stated senior Dan Amendariz. The practice paid off when six Santa Teresa wrestlers qualified for CCS with Tim Cano leading the way. Tim became the 1988 105 lbs. champion, with four pins, other placers were Val Laologi — 2nd; Bryan Lindsey — 3rd; Dan Amendariz — 3rd; Nathan Sheehy — 4th; and Eric Chaplin — 4th. by Lance Pardue Wrestling 7Y
