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. Resuming the action from the ref's position after going off the mat are Brock Crystal and his op- ponent. Heavyweight Billy Bull receives instructions from Coach Brian Ricks aftera close match.

junior Varsity ISIOIIS All But One Foe When all the work was over and it was time to show some action, Skyline's wrestlers were ready to do just that. They started their year with an easy win against the Madison Bobcats and looked forward to showing Highland a thing or two. After Highland received a good lesson, the Griz took a tough loss against Blackfoot. They then put themselves together and took that ex- perience to win their next three matches against Minico, l.F., and Poky. The JV's ended up with a record of five wins and only one loss. Struggling to pin his opponent is Jason Ray. Going for a reverse during the TigerlGrizzly ln- vitational, Todd Holverson wrestles his way into the consolation championships.
