Powell competes on state level akedown, reversal, es- cape, pin! Those were just a few of the phrases that could be heard at the wrestling meets. The varsity squad ended the season with a 5-1 conference record with Mr. Al Gandolfi in his first year as coach. I really felt the program went well. The boys worked hard and each tried to climb to the top, stat- ed Mr. Gandolfi. The team's season was highlighted with Pat Boswell, Lou Debs, Joe Farneti, Steve Powell, Jim Throw, Meni Tri- 162 Wrestling politakis, and Mike Stringer advancing to Sectionals. How- ever, Powell, a senior, was the only member to qualify for State. I won my first match in overtime and I won my second match 7-2. ln my third match my dream of winning the state championship was shattered when I separated my shoulder and was unable to continue, commented Powell. The sophomore team com- pleted the season with a 4-2 conference record and the freshman team finished 1-5. X. , 3 5 il , I f I t I ,T 4, gt Jvt f fx, 1, .
