Gilbert.
"To have this kind of perfor
mance is very rewarding. One of
the goals we set at the beginning of
the season was to send six kids to
the state finals, which would equal
last year. Getting nine to the finals
is an indication of how hard we've
worked and an indication of our kids
growth. Our kids outhustled and
outwrestled the other teams at this
tournament," Coach Steve
Hassenger said.
Hassenger cited Tarence Hill's
semi-final victory over Shaw's
Lanier Coulter as an example of
hard work and good technique pre
vailing over a favored opponent.
"We surprised a lot of people at
that tournament. Tarence Hill
wasn't supposed to win that match,
the other kid was the number two
seed and he was wrestling at home.
But he busted his hump and in the
final minute when Tarence needed a
point he got one. Then, in the final

"Having nine wrestlers
going to the state finals with this
being our first year in the area and
not knowing the opposition, is a
tribute to our program. Robert
Bowers and Brad Mullis gave us a
nice surprise by qualifying for the
finals," Coach Tony Thrift said.
Hassenger and Thrift said the key
this week for the nine qualifiers is
staying focused and treating the
state finals like any other tourna
ment.
"Jolley and Francis don't need to
do anything differently we'll spend
some a lot of time this week work
ing with John Rowland on foot
work techniques. We want to raise
the expectations here to the point
where every wrestler who comes
into our program has as a goal
winning the state championship,"

LaWSOn, from 8A
The obvious, unfortunate contrast
is a Perry game.
I've seen people leave Perry
games with under two minutes to
play for no apparent reason other
than a lack of interest.
I'm not saying there's moral
obligation to sit through a whole
game but courtesy and common
sense would seem to dictate at least
watching the ending.
If the coach on the sidelines is
more audible than the fans some
thing is wrong.
When the opposing cheerleaders

can be heard at all, something's
wrong.
This isn't a shot at the fans who
go to the games to cheer, it’s not a
shot at the cheerleaders who are do
ing their part, it's more of a ques
tion to the empty seats. Asa high
school student what can be more
compelling on a Tuesday night then
watching your team kick the day
lights out of somebody?
Stop sitting on your hands or
watching Brady Bunch reruns, come
to a game and yell at the wrong
