 Matmen Grab PCAA Title

 
Three Spartan wrestlers won individual titles to pace the SJS wrestling squad to the team championship at the first Pacific Coast Athletic Association championships last Friday in Spartan Gym.
 
All eleven of the SJS grapplers placed in their weight divisions as they dominated the statistics to accumulate 94 points while runnerup Long Beach State had 77 and third-place Fresno State garnered 61. Santa Barbara was fourth with 34 and San Diego State registered 32. 
 
Art Stone of SJS out wrestled Eddie Moraga of Fresno State in the 115-pound class to gain a narrow 3-2 decision for his title victory. 
 
Gary Ramsetter of SJS took the 160-pound class championship with a hard fought 3-1 decision over tough Joe Del Bosque of Fresno State while teammate Walt Thatcher followed him with a good 5-2 decision triumph in the 167-pound division. 
 
Terry Kerr (123), Dick Rose (137), Arno Dominguez (145), Paul Hatling (177), Roger McClaughry (191), and heavyweight Cleve Holt all gained seconds for SJS. 
 
Holt was overcome in a 15-2 decision by big and aggressive Ken Oyer of Fresno State who was named the "Outstanding Wrestler" of the meet. 
 
Spartan coach Hugh Mumby praised his whole team, calling their winning performance "a total team effort which was the result of a lot of extra hard work." 
 
He said he hopes to send all three of the PCAA champions from SJS to the NCAA championships at Brigham Young University on March 27-29.
