Show Thursday, February 19. 1981 I'intah Basin Siamuti Union wrestlers take fourth in State The best thing about this tournament was the experience, said Union high wrestling Coach Dennis Toland about his teams fourth place finish in the State Tournament held last weekend in Beaver. The Delta Rabbits, who Toland had called The best wrestling team ever assembled, took the championship behind five indivdual first place finishes and 153 team points. Finishing ahead of the Cougars was Region Nine champ Lehi, with 110 points and the Hurricane Tigers who tallied Union scored 75 total points. Union qualified only eight for the tournament. All three of the teams which finished ahead of the Cougars Robert Jones for the first two rounds of their match before controlling his opponent for a relatively easy victory. Saturday night in Southern Utah looked like it would go on forever as the night's second match was also the night's second overtime contest. Jones came to wrestle. As both men fought to a ' 2 stalemate in the final OT period, Samuels drew one last effort and near fall in the final scored a two-poi10 seconds to take the title by a slim 2-- A 2-- 2-- 4-- 87. Brent Cundall only managed third in the Region Nine Tourney, but came in strong in the State Tournament to take second place in the division. The junior wrestler could have won his match against Cary Prince of Hurricane, according to Coach Toland. The decision for Prince was a close one and might have gone to Cundall had the Cougar t ussier not amassed three penalty points in the first two rounds of the championship match. Cundall was simply nervous. faced a Delta Brian Hamilton wrestler, Rob Mania, to continue their ihree-yea-r feud. Toland called their championship meeting one of the best matches I've ever seen." The nip and tuck match saw lead Hamilton take a one-poi) with only 15 seconds remaining in the final stanza. Rob Mania then came roaring back to take an 11-- 9 lead with only nine seconds left. Following an escape, Hamilton made three attempts in the waning moments to take down Mania. On the third try, Hamilton had his opponent in the air and was about to throw him for a take down when the final buzzer ended the match. Toland indicated that Manis was named the outstanding wrestler in the tournament. Their (Mania and Hamilton's) weight class was stacked; if Brian had won he would have been given the honor. Hamilton will graduate this year. He has done a great job and was one said Toland, of our team leaders, noting that his poise had helped all of the wrestlers. In another tough weight class, Farrell McCook, 112 pounds, had what his roach described as a beautiful 132-pou- took eleven to Beaver. Toland described the crowd as Jammed up against the mats" and said that there were some 200 Union faithful in the group. It really helped out our team, gushed the coach, to have so many parents and alums there cheering us on. Most of last year's team and their relatives made the trip." It was a good thing that they did. Only two of the young Cougars had previous State Tourney experience. The lack of experience cost us some points,? reflected the coach. In the division, Bardett Fausett met his old San Juan rival, Jim Manheimer, in the finals. For the second time in as many weeks the two met in the finals of a tournament. Also for the second time, the match went into overtime. Unfortunately the outcome did not repeat itself. Last week in the Region Tournament, Fausett struggled to tie the match and then had the stamina to take the overtime win . In Beaver, Manheimer would not allow himself to' get tired. According to Toland, neither wrest-le- r made any mistakes, but the Bronco iusaler pulled out the victory by a overtime margin in three periods. Similarities reigned supreme in the early going of the championship action as Jeff Samuels, 105 pounds, faced another San Juan wrestler for the title, just as he did a week ago at Lehi. Last week Samuels struggled with 1 - 'U i1 vAf 5 ' r tournament, McCook finished in the third spot. The Union soph defeated last year's d State Champ, Turner of Delta, by an 11-- 0 score.

This conflicts with the interests of physicians (on thejfoard of Health) who traditionally are more concerned with quality than cost of health care. Sen. A.
