West Wrestlers Fight
In recent varsity wrestling action the Maine West Warriors were defeated twice, thus ending a six‑meet winning streak.
On Friday, Jan. 23, the Warriors traveled to Glenview where they met an "emotionally high" Glenbrook South squad. Rob Krusinski (forfeit), Dave Cavazos (7-3), and Bob Smith (6-3) were West's only winners.
On Saturday, Jan. 24, Maine West redeemed themselves by defeating three opponents: Ridgewood (36-22), Lake View (46-11); and Dunbar (55-5) at the Ridgewood triple-dual meet. The Warriors had six wrestlers win all three of their bouts. They were Pat Brabec, Rob Krusinski, Mike Tramel, Lou DePasquale, Dave Cavazos, and Bob Smith. Rick Gauger, Craig Beam, Dan Cavazos, and Luke Praxmarer recorded double wins.
