In fact it came down to the final match, Pat Leabo pinning his Sheridan opponent at 148 pounds to secure the title.

Thus, Scio qualified eight wrestlers for this week's Class A state meet, Friday and Saturday at Gackamas Community College in Oregon City. The Loggers won the title with 2261 points to Sheridan's 221 Culver was third at 110. "As a team we didn't wrestle well at all," said Steve Hart, the Scio coach. "The Sheridan kids did a great job. They just came out of nowhere." Scio had five individual champions: Andy Dougherty at 98, Gregg Harper at 106, unbeaten Dave Harper at 136, Bob Parrott at 141, and Leabo.

One of the Loggers' biggest disappointments was Pete Dougherty, the No. 1 seed at 130, losing In semifinals; be didn't qualify for state. Scio also competed without Rich and Roger Lein, both seeded, due to non-athletic related reasons. So, the Loggers, picked earlier as tbe team to beat at state, are underdogs. "We lose about 20 points at state without the Lein brothers and Pete," Hart said.

"I'd have to say we're not favored anymore. It's anyone's ball game. We've still got a chance. It will be between us, Lowell, Waldport and Culver." Tama scares: Scio Sheridan 221. CoJrer IIS Cotton St Waaco County 12.
