1977-1978 Wrestling

1977-1978 Rush-Henrietta Sperry Comets

VARSITY WRESTLING. The Comet wrestlers dropped to a 5-6 record under head coach Terry Gates. They were led by team captains Chris Nakis and Section V Champion Don St. James. They won the tough Caledonia-Mumford Christmas Tournament, taking four individual championships. They also placed fifth out of nineteen teams in the Monroe County tourney. The team will lose only four seniors and should look good next year. FRONT ROW: R. Camp, K. Mooney, D. Beaudrault, L. Tompkins, G. Madison, K. Fruedenvoll, R. Hopkins. BACK ROW: D. Miller, E. Pascucci, J. Thomas, C. Nakis, T. Burns, D. St. James, M. Gilfilian, E. Carmichael, B. Howard, Coach T. Gates. SOURCE: 1978 Cometeer.
