itadg' N 1-'7-- - i. S Winning Season of 8-6-I posted The wrestling team end- ed its season with a record of 8-6-1. The best part of the season was finishing with a winning record be- cause of the tough sched- ule we had, said Coach Al Gandolfi. At Conference Lou Debs 41269 took first, Mike Bana- siak C1521 second, and Joe Farneti 11583 second. l could really depend on the weights between l26-l55g they coul almost always get us a lot of team points, said Coach Ciandolfi. Those taking third were Mike Stringer C1553 and Corey Bowen 11051. Advancing to Sectionals were Bowen, Debs, String- er, and Tracy Vanhook 0859. Advancing to Region- als were Bowen and String- er, who lost their first match and Debs, one of the top wrestlers on the team, won his first match but lost his second. 'tThe reason l was one of the top wrestlers was l worked so hard. l was very glad that l won in the first round, but l wished some of the other very good wres- tlers would have made it also, stated Debs, senior. The team started off to a slow start, but they started to win after they worked hard at practice. i'One of the highlights of the season was when we were able to beat Thornton, stated Far- neti. The sophomores ended their season with a record of 8-4-1 and the freshmen ended with 7-4-1. '5 - vw fa 552 wa rf Top: Joe Farneti was a necessity for the team, even though he was an injured player.

Overall the boys had a very good sea- son. We had a young team, but next year the team will be older and more exper- ienced, stated Coach Wal- ly Shatkowski. One of the highlights was beating Thomwood for the first time since 1985. We lost the first game which was played at Thomwood's field. We worked real hard together to beat them when they came to our field. Both of the games were really close , and it felt great to finally beat our rival team, stated Tad Mossell, junior. Selected to the All-Con- ference team were Mike Small, senior, Mike Griffin, senior, Edgar Anderson, ju- nior and Dan Koontz, ju- nior. Awarded All- Confer- ence honorable mention were Andy DeBoer, junior and Tony Vinciguerra, ju- nior. Wearing new uniforms which were columbia blue and white, the team added the gray and black Salva- tore R. Salato patch on their left sleeves. The new uniforms and the addition of the patch gave us really good attitudes. They made us feel complete and we felt as if we were really winning the games for Thomridge and Mr. Salato, said Mike Small, senior. 42 5- C - .1 ' -5' Lf!
