Dominating most of the competition and placing in the top three in three tournaments, the Frosh- Soph wrestlers looked like . . . AMONG BOYS aving an up and down season, the Frosh- Soph wrestling team had a fairly good sea- son under the circumstances. The team lost many valuable wrestlers because of openings on the varsity starting lineup. Seven wrestlers altogether were moved up to the varsity team: Matt Cano, Nathan Sheehy, Colin Haynes. Eric Chaplin, Brett Laologi, Adrian Rivers, and Brett Haliwell. Despite this grave disadvantage, the team was very competitive and compiled a league record of 7 wins 5 losses. The team also placed in the top three in three major tournaments. An overall 2nd at both the Oak Grove tournament and the Overfelt tournament and a 3rd at the Firecracker Open held at Independence were the three tournaments. Todd Hawk. Hayward Cook, and Jeff Emerson were the team's big guns. They combined for a record of 30 wins and 6 losses. Reflecting on the past wrestling season, David Boudreau states, We lost a lot of talent to the ailing varsity team and we still kicked a little butt. The team did stick together through the tough losses so it made it easier. We had some great wins and we did it as a team. The team's most impressive victory came over Mt. Pleas- ant. The Saints defeated their foes by a team score of 46-8. It gave the younger wrestlers a lot of confidence and was a bright spot with the depleted lineup. Another great perfor- mance is noted when Hayward Cook pinned his opponent in a extremely quick 48 seconds. Though most of the team was composed of Sophomores, next years team is looking ahead to a productive year. Says coach Ted Cano, “We had a good season this years re- serves can have an equally good year with some hard work and a little help from incoming freshmen.” By Lance Par- doe A yell for help.

Leading their way through MHAL, the Saints slam dunked the opposition by putting . . . -Pointi ON THE BOARD ribbling to the hoop with tremendous speed, the boys varsity basketball team A 1 slam dunked the opposition. With the W k height and ability of this team, they were bound to be winners. The first game of the season, during the Gunderson tourna- ment, the Saints strutted their stuff before the crowd. Craig Whelihan started the first slam dunking of the season. Brian The Tower Kilian continued the slam- ming during the rest of the season. Peter Stapes continually made three point shots which gave the Saints the lead in scoring. Doug “the Road Runner Shoji dribbled around the best to get the ball to the basket, and Scott Prather was always there to receive a pass. The thrill of victory became second nature, and they used this to advance to CCS. Coach C.J. Howard gave the team the coaching and support needed to improve the playing of the members as a team. Coach Howard has been coaching the team for the last thirteen years. He decided that this was his last season as the coach for the team. His effort and stamina in creating a winning team showed through his hard work and determi- nation for success of this varsity team. The long fought battle between the Saints and the Pied- mont Hills Pirates put the crowds on the edge of their seats. The first game, the Saints won by three points in the last five seconds of the game. The second was a long game for the Saints, but that did not stop them from giving up the next time they played. The third game was a disappointment for the players because the heat was on during the entire game. Piedmont won by two points, but that showed the hard work, the Saint's displayed to keep up with that powerful team. Teamwork was the key to the Saint's victories. The boys worked together passing and rebounding to put points on the board. Leading the team in rebounds, Brian Kilian made it possible to take a second shot. Craig and Peter’s good percentages with their outside shooting, and Doug's ability to bring the ball up court gave the team the essentials to put together a winning team. By Marie Bialorucki.
