Since most of the wrestlers from last year were back, they had more experience behind them and therefore had a better attitude towards competition. In the 3 :Xl 5 i Private School League, the team ended up with a 2-8 won-loss record, beating llliana both times: this was a better rec- ord than last year. Besides these team victories, there were many more indi- vidual victories for the wrestlers in the season and in the PSL finals. '- r rs

Sophs Toil Through Rugged Season After expecting to take first place in the PSL, the frosh-soph team was very disappointed this season. Despite good teamwork and height they just could not match their freshman record. lVlr. Hui- zenga, their coach of last year also, had high expectations for the season. The team started out well, compiling a 5-l record before injuries took their toll. The team won only four more games after that, while losing ten. They ended with a 9-ll overall record and a 7-7 record in the PSL. The team had some good chances to win more games, but just couldn't rise to the occasion. They lost three games in overtime, including their last holiday tournament game. However, the team did come up with a strong finish, they played their final game better than any other and had few- er errors, better rebounding, and more aggressiveness.
