The highlight of the early part of the season was beating rated Oakland-Craig and WPCC for a first place finish in the holiday tournament. The Cadets went into a tailspin in conference play losing many one or two point ballgames. Their hopes were revived in a final season win over highly ranked Elkorn-, but the miracle finish of last year in districts could not be matched as the Cadets lost to Wayne. The reserves finished with a 10-3 record and the freshmen with a 10-2 record. Coach Erwin, and Coach Pittam.

The Cadets finished with a 6-4 dual record and were 5-3 in the conference losing to Tek- amah-Herman. Logan View and Pender who all placed in the top 10 in the State C Tournment. West Point had a lot of young wrestlers on var- sity who were good enough to give the team strength in duals. However, they lacked the upperclassmen to lead in tournaments. In addi- tion. they were plagued with injuries all season and never did have a meet with the best wrest- lers competing all at the same time. Next year the young team will be more mature and expe- rienced and hopefully in better health physi- cally. This season marked the end of Coach Boots tenure as head coach as he turned the duties over to the younger coaches after 20 years. He came here in 1974 with 6 years expe rience from Ft. Pierre, S. D. At West Point hi coached 21 state place winners including 8 state champions. He will still be on the sidelines shouting encouragement, running the clock, keeping score, etc. West PoiiV 8 Wayne 58 West Point 54 West Point C C 15 West Point 19 Tekamah-Herman 49 West Point 49 Scribner-Snyder 21 West Point. 66 Oakland-Craig 12 West Point • 16 Logan-View 48 West Point 24 Pender 50 West Point 39 Wisner-Pilger 34 West Point 48 North-Bend Central 27 West Point 58 Lyons-Decauter 18 Northeast Season Record 6-4 West Point Invitational Sixth Wahoo Invitational Eighth Wisner-Pilger Invitational Seventh Schuyler Invitational Eighth Albion Invitational Sixth East Husker Conference Sixth District B-2 Fourteenth MIDDLE: Yeah!
