The athletes who participated in
(he wrestling program, along
with the coaching staff would like
to take this opportunity to thank
the School Board and the com
munity for their great interest
and allowing the school to start
this activity on an interscholas
tic basis. If this fine interest is
kept in future years by the com
munity and the athletes the sport
will make great strides in help

gives a student a chance to com
pete with boys of their own
weight plus having them compete
with their own individual charac
teristics.

Spencer Romps Over St. Mary's
On Opening Round of "C" Tourney
In first-round action at the
Class “C" regional in Lynch the
Spencer Pirates romped to a 81
to 34 victory over the helpless
Cardinals of St. Mary’s.
Spencer was led in shooting and
rebounding by the usual nemesis
oi the Cards, Ron Kopecky, who
poured in 40 points and his bro
ther Leonard who popped in 12.
St. Mary’s stayed close the first
quarter behind the shooting of
Spiuenberger who popped in 6
of his 15 points here, but that
was the last of the closeness of
the game.
With SMA unable to dent the
tight Spencer defense and con
stantly losing the bail the romp
was on. Outshot 17 to 8 in the
second quarter, the half-time
score stood at 31 to 16.
After the intermission nothing
went right for the hapless Cards.
St. Mary’s, who host the ball 35
times and could grab only 8 of
25 tips, never had their hands
on the b ill too long in the sec
ond half. W.th Ron Kopecky drop
ping in 16 of his 40 points in the
third quarter things went from
dark to black.
The fourth quarter went like
the first three, and with Spitzen
berger the only one able to hit
consistently, Spencer lengthened
their lead even more. Oetter,
who made all 8 of his points in
the list quarter, kept things a
little bright in the fourth quarter,
but the margin of victory was in
creased even more as the Pirates
sunk 28 more points in this quar
ter compared with 12 for St.
Mary's.
