Stassinos gained a reversal with ten seconds left in the final round. "Hacking's win over Stassinos was the key to Uintah's victory over Rock Springs. I thought Matt would win the match and I didn't think it was an upset," stated Uintah wrestling coach, Chuck Henry. Sophomore, Randy Smuin, thumped Nikki McCulley, Rock Springs, 9-5, in the 145 pound match.

Stassinos is a two-time state champ. The match wasn't as close as the score indicates. Hacking dominated the match from the start," said Chuck Henry. "Rock Springs is rated number one in the state of Wyoming when we went into that dual meet and they are probably still number one in Wyoming even though they got beat by an out of state team. Billy Bedell's contest was a good match. He did an outstanding job. We needed at least a major decision so that if Cobbs was pinned in the heavyweight match we would still gain a tie in the meet. Ronnie Horricks looked good for his first time on the varsity. He can do a good job for us at 105 or 112 pounds." Uintah defeated Rock Springs in the junior varsity meet by the score of 21-12. 21-12.
