Grapplers impressive in early outings
By Kelly Laughlin

f The CCC men’s wrestling
beam has seen its season get off
,fo an impressive start by win­
ding its first two league matches
against Linn-Benton and
‘SWOCC, downing non-league
[Grays Harbor, 36-14 and
taking third among 20 schools
at the
University
of
[Washington Invitational.
During
break
the
Cougs managed to out-grapple
[three California teams, sliding
[by the East Bay Area Wrestling
Club 21-17 and trouncing the
[College of Redwood 48-5 and
[Santa Rosa 30-16.
, By press time, the young but
aggressive wrestlers will have
het Portland State, which
could only muster a thirteenth
and 8 points at the University
of Washington Invitational.
Clackamas, at the same meet,
managed to beat rival Northern
Idaho by two points with 47.
The Cougs hadn’t beaten
Northern Idaho in nearly three
[years.
f- Clackamas showed no mer-
¡cy, against Linn-Benton,
beating them 50-0. Forfeits to
Steve Wheeler,
Young
Duane
McNulty,
and
heavyweight Rusty Crape
provided much of the steam
that lead to the win; not to
mention pins by 190 pounder
Roy Bonner, Bill Blackford, at
167 lbs., and three CCC
wrestlers who held their op­
ponents to only one point.
Darvin Tramal, a sophomore
who provides much of the
leadership for the nearly all­
freshman squad, earned a 6-1
victory. One hundred forty-two
pounder Lance Wilson, who at
11-1-6 leads his team in wins
this year, beat Dexter Stothdff
at Linn-Benton 12-1, while
158 pound Eric Martin sweated
to an 11-1 win.
While SWOCC was not easy
pickings for the Cougs, key
wins were created by weights
like Bonner, who cinched a 19-
4 match, Crape who won 8-7
and Bill Blackford who ended
his match up 20-4. One hun­
dred fifty pound Wilson pinned
his man, SWOCC’s Dave
Chambers, in 2:05 and 134
pound Tramal dropped Brad
Covington, 9-4.
Grays Harbor, who bowed
to the Cougs last friday 14-36,
lost five times that day, with
Tramal, Blackford, Bonner,
heavyweight Crape and Wilson
cashing in. Wheeler wasted no
time, winning 9-1 against Har­
bor’s Jay Izatt, while Eric Mar­
tin tied against Hedge
Nelson,2-2. One hundred
seventy-seven pound McNulty
squeezed past Mike Scholtz 7-
Tramal, Wilson, Martin,
Blackford and Bonner spiced
up the Cougs’ early season
meets. Wilson was the stan­
dout, pinning three of his op­
ponents in his five winning
matches. Blackford was also
untouched, 5-0, for the day.
Bonner, who mustered a win
against Northern Idaho’s
regional champ, Mike Wood,
pinned both Wood and Dave
Drews of Mt. Hood. Tramal
challenged and beat three of
his four opponents, including
Northern Idaho’s 134-poung
regional champ, John Floer-
schiner, 3-5. Martin was 4-1 for
the day.
6, and Vane Dickey, the team
lightweight, suffered the only
I loss, losing 3-5 to Dan Klein.
!
On Friday, the Cougs will
have to tighten the belt up a
notch, when they face Lane
Community College and Nor­
thern Idaho, the latter team
being their toughest match to
date.
