fTlflT CT1EN HRE TDP5 Although wrestling is a team competi- tion, it is also an individual sport which depends on the stomino and strength of each wrestler. Wrestling, unlike basketball or football, where there is a group that works together in o ream effort, is a one- on-one sport with team mates giving moral support. When the referee blows the whistle, each wrestler must face his op- ponent with determination and what he does, he must do entirely by himself. This year ' s wrestling team was the best that South has had in several years, and many outstanding wrestlers such as Jerry Rogan, Brent Hawks, Tim Dellopina, and Mike Dellapina led the group in their overall ef- fort. The life of a wrestler is one of hard practices and long hours on the mats as well as in the exercise room as the wrestler must always keep his body in top physical condition. Also a wrestler must keep an ex- act weight throughout the season so that he can stay in his weight class. This often means many hours of trying to lose that BY: MARLENE JACKSON extra pound or two, watching every bite that is eaten, and skipping that delicious looking snack. Jerry Rogan, who won first place in the sectionals and in the WOL, commented that the past season was a good one, and although the team was pleased with its record, each individual member could remember some meet where he could hove improved his record. With each individual wrestler putting up a tremendous effort, the team made a great overall showing for the 1982-80 season.
