'Qt Squad maintains dominant force Starting fresh at the new campus seemed to have somehow affected the per- formance of junior varsity grapplers, who became a dominant force shortly after the transition. This year's team carried on that tradition. With a 50 man squad filling 26 weight divisions, the wrestlers compiled an 8-0 season record, sweeping the league to capture the title. However, even that was only secondary in comparison to the immense satisfaction of pinning a defeat on the record of crosstown rival Lodi. Daily workouts con- sisting of hundreds of push- ups and grueling four-mile runs paid off as the grapplers grabbed Lodi by the neck and squeezed, trouncing the Flames by a clear 25 points. Sophomores Kenny Oliver 170 poundsg Mike Hilscher, 187 pounds, and Todd Austin, 108 pounds, turned out consistently outstanding performances all season long. Oliver captured the most valuable honors, while Hilscher received the most improved award. With the hard work and determination that this team is capable of, this team should be a powerhouse in the coming years, stated sophomore Eric Gibbs. lv 170 l.

172 4 Varsity basketball stops in league What Astarted out looking to be an impressive season ended in agony as the Tokay varsity basketball team missed the San Joaquin Athletic Association playoffs by one game. Tokay, which boasted the tallest team in the league, fought to the last game before they were knocked out of the playoffs by crosstown rival Lodi High. The season was a dissap- pointment due to the fact that we couldn't make the playoffs, which was our main goal. commented head coach Bill Baumgartner. The season was not all a disappointment though. From beginning to end, Tokay fought like Tigers to maintain much deserved respect. Lady Luck wasn't on Tokay's side as they lost five league games with less than a five point margin. The Tigers finished the season with a 6-8 league slate. Overall, Tokay possessed a 12-16 record. Highlighting the season was senior Dan Williams, who averaged 20.6 points per game in league play, and senior David McCann, who averaged 14.5 points per game. Williams was selected to the all SJAA first team. 1.
