William Tennent's J.V. courtmen, under the tutelage of Coach Jack Rittenmeyer, finished the 1957-58 season with an overall record of 4 wins and 15 losses, The Junior Panthers, a determined, fighting quintet, refused to give in while time remained on the clock. Forwards were Norm Robinson and Joe Cannon, Wally Davis capably filled the center spot, and Roy Viehweger and John Jones served as guards. The fine performance of the Viehweger and Jones duet brought them to the attention of the coaches, and they moved into varsity ranks. The rebounding at both ends of the court was well taken care of by able Norm Robinson. The most memorable tilt of the season was played against Neshaminy on their court. This entire game had been an exciting nip and tuck affair with neither team ever gaining any appreciable lead. Back and forth the lead was going and then, with only five seconds remaining to be played, Viehweger made a foul shot, and the game was a Tennent victory with a score of 40 to 41. The experience gained by these Junior Varsity-ites should help bolster and build the strength of next year's varsity club. The endless move-up system will put most of these young men into the next niche, and the iunior high proteges will supply a new crop of hopefuls to the all-important springboard to Varsity fame and fortune, the J.V. team. 92

In the pre- season practices the Panthers looked as if they might improve their 1956-57 record. They had ten returning Iettermen, including the defending 127 pound league champ, Dick Briner. There were also several newcomers: Joe D'Amelio, Bill Ayers and Jim Strickland, who transferred from Abington High, Henry Kohler, and Geary Radcliffe. With Richard Osbeck elected as captain, Tennent was ready for its opening match against Pennsbury, the T957 champs. In this match Penns- bury handed Tennent its worst defeat in its wrestling history, 54-0. All of Tennent's men except Dick Briner, Otto Harazim, and Craig Yerkes were pinned, and Bob Dougherty lost his only match of the regular season. In the meet against Bristol, Ten- nent came close to winning its first match, losing by only six points. As the season progressed there was only one other close match, that against Palisades. The latter won 30-21 with a late rally. Two of Tennent's wrestlers finished the season with good records: Bob Dougherty chalked up seven wins and one loss, Dick Briner scored five wins, one loss, and two ties. At the county championships, both Briner and Dougherty finished second. This was one bright spot in a season of no wins and eight losses. The Junior Varsity Wrestlers completed the season with a three win and four loss record. Outstanding J.V.'s were 120 pound Eddie McPeak, 138 pound George Hobensack, and 155 pound Bill Schuler. In the Junior High Tournament Tennent was well-represented by Joe Van Loon, who won the T65 pound championship. With only four seniors on this year's squad, next year's team should improve on the 1958 record. 94
