Cougar grapplers ready to flex their muscles With the advent of winter and the colder season comes the sport many College sports fans hunger for—wrestling. And in the words of Cougar wrestling Coach Norm Berney, “we are a young team, but we are going to be real competitive again this year.” Led by a good crew of sophomore returnees, this year’s team also has a healthy turnout of freshmen, mainly comprised of local wrestling talent. “We will be wrestling quite a few four-year schools this season, with not as many local schools on our schedule.” Berney said. “Unlike some other sports like cross country or volleyball, which are able to find other two-year schools in the area.to compete with, we are forced to wrestle more often on the four-year level, such as Portland State, Simon Frazer, and so on,” Berney stated. Returning for the Cougs this season are Craig Sieckman, Mike Bolf, Joe Giacomini, Mike Martin, and Doug Gunnels. Sieckman, who wrestled at 126 lbs. last season, placed second in conference last year. Sophomore Mike Bolf was conference champion and also took second place in the regional tourney at 134 pounds. At 150 pounds this season is sophomore Joe Giacomini, who also competed at 150 for the Cougs last season. Another positive for this ear’s araDDlers is the return of year. He is joined by teammate Gunnels who after placing third at 167 in conference competi tion last year went on to take fourth place at regionals at 177 pounds last year. This vear also brinas to compete at the national level. All three, Strawn at 177 or 190, Huey at 167, and Delashmutt at 126 or 134 are sure to figure in Coach Berney’s strategy this year, olacers are to Mike Martin Martin. Martin, who last wrestl ed two seasons ago, sat out last year as the result of a knee in jury. He was a standout wrestler from Sandy High, placing fourth at state his senior Clackamas three transfers from Southern .Oregon State, Rick Strawn, Dave Huey, and Kim Delashmutt. Strawn, who was a regional champion from SOSC last year, went on to be found in the crowd of this year’s freshmen. Tom Baker, from Scappose High, comes off an excellent senior year climaxed by his State Cham pionship in the AA state finals at 177. Frosh Daniel Martin, who was state champion his junior year at 157 pounds, and was district champion at 157 last year will also be competing for Clackamas. Martin, who in jured his shoulder in the open ing round of the state AAA tourney last year is one of three Sandy grapplers who have elected to attend Clackamas. Tim Sytsma, fifth at heavyweight in AAA competi tion, and Dean Fischer have both joined this year’s Cougar ranks. Another big man who holds promise'this season is heavyweight Randy Potter from Estacada high. Potter, third at district last year, also competed at state and will be a welcome addition to the team. “We ought to have at least two people at every weight. And if we are lucky enough to have plenty of matches everybody will get to wrestle” Berney said. “There are 19 or so freshmen this year, and along with our returnees, I am really pleased with our depth. We have good local people. There are not many junior col leges that will be better this year. On paper we are as good or better than anybody else in Oregon,” Bernev said. “Although we are young, we have a lot of potential. And barring injuries we should be competitive this year,” Berney said.
