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.

the home team two games to

“The way we’ve been
playing lately, we should win
the next two games,” Swivel
said.
The entire season has
been punctuated by sporadic
play,5 Swivel said. On-again-

“Our team always seems to
play better as the game wears
on. They adjust and come
