Grapplers Bounce Chico State 26-3 |
||
| Led by Paul Hatling, the SJS wrestling team demoralized Chico State 26-3 Friday to close out its highly successful
1966-67 season. Actually, the season is not quite over for the Spartans who will compete in two more tournaments before wiping off the sweat. The first of these is the Pacific Tournament at Andrew Hill High School on March 4, and the second is the NCAA championships on March 23-25. Last Friday's match did complete the Spartans' dual match schedule, however, and the win gave them a 10-4 mark for the dual match season. SJS easily controlled the match against Chico, winning every division except heavyweight , where the Spartans' Dick Dixon, wrestling in place of the injured Rich Popejoy, lost a 4-0 decision to Chico's Roger Lytle. Hatling was the only Spartan to win by fall, pinning Don Steinseik in 6:45 of their 177-pound match. L.Q. Starling started the victory avalanche for SJS, outpointing Mickey Maxwell 8-7 in the opening 123-pound match. Starling's victory was followed by decisions for Spartans Dick Hamm (130), Dan Swensen (137), Gary Lorenz (145), Mike Brown (152), Dave Allen (160), and Mike Herschfelt (167). The biggest victory margins were recorded by Allen and Lorenz. Allen defeated the Wildcats' Wes Brown 13-5, while Lorenz stopped Paul Montgomery 20-4. Commenting on his team's fine season, SJS coach Hugh Mumby said he was well pleased with his squad's progress, and singled out Allen and Hatling as having made particularly outstanding progress during the season. Mumby also praised sophomore Starling and junior Gary Ramstetter for supplying valuable performances this season. |
