He captured the state championship to cap off his second successive undefeated season. Breck Crystal also won a state championship as well as an undefeated season. There were two wrestlers who took fourth in the State A-I championships. They were Bryan Stosich and Fiob Hall. The Skyline grapplers had a good year as they took first in the Sixth District and third in the State A-1 Tournament. Coach Brian Hicks summed up the season by saying, The varsity team did really good. But he did add that losing Kurt Machen really hurt the team's morality, but the senior grap- plers picked the team back up. Machen threw out his knee and missed both the district and state tournaments. Putting out a lot of sweat and hard work is Lance Charles. Varslty Wrestllng 157

Haven,t Lost the ouch Showing that the Grizzly wrestlers hadn 't lost their touch, the varsity opened the '85-'86 season with a convincing 63-3 victory over Madison. ln their next outing, however, they had to settle for a 36-36 tie with the Highland Rams. After that, they came back with several more outstanding victories. Fighting hard, they pulled a- nother win out, defeating Black- foot 37-18. The next foe to fall was Minico, by a 59-6 lopsided decision. The Grizzlies next had to face the idaho Falls Tigers, tradition- ally Skyline's biggest rival. This time, Skyline came through to defeat the Tigers with a score of 42-23. Staying in the rhythm, the Griz went on to stomp Twin Falls by a 63-6 score and the Pocatello Indians, 48-20. Bonneville put a new record in the history books by defeating the Skyline grapplers by a 32-26 count. This was the first time in 16 years that Skyline wrestlers had lost a duel match. This was the final duel of the regular season and several wrestlers were injured or ill. This left the season record at 6-1 -1. The varsity also did well in their tournament action. They placed second at the Minico In- vitational, Madison Tournament, and the TigerlGrizzly ln- vitational. They placed third at the Green Riven Wyoming ln- vitational.
