Sa Blood, weat, Tears... Blood, sweat, and tears is what the W.H.S. wrestlers put into their practices and matches this year. Hard work and determination paid off as our grapplers posted a fine 9-1 rec- ord. Under the guidance of Coach Denny Hicks, they took the Sylva- Webster Christmas Tournament help- ing to establish their reputation as rough, tough men. Members of this team are: Captains: Kim Corn Paul Beebe Ricky Owens Freddy Roberts Todd Ray Don Gash Robert Becker Eury Corn Gene McCarson Mike Heilbronn, Barry Cannon James Lunsford Robert Crook Eugene Cannon Lloyd Coren Ricky Plemmons Lee Fowler Alan McCrary Mickey Marvin J.

AS ecraicrcnern West High’s Own Muscle Men It has been a few years since West High has been No. | in any sport and our own ’70 — ’71 wrestling team has given us a position to be proud of — first in the Parkway Conference and third in Western North Carolina. This year’s team does not believe in luck — to them preparation is the key to their great success. These fellows have certainly dedicated themselves and their time to the team, some of them starving them- selves to keep their weight within the class they wrestle. This is only one of the significant incidents that shows the great will power that these guys have to be No. 1! So, in the coming year let’s get behind these grap- plers and keep them on the top!
