Undefeated Sophomore Grapple
Story That Tops Fishermen's T
By DEAN MUCK
Fishermen like to tell their
stories of the "big one" that
got away, but State's unbeaten
sophomore grappler Bob Ha
ney has a tale that could match
any of them. And like the fisher;
men, it's the story of the big one
that he just missed "landing."

a freshman at Canonsburg (Pa.)

little 112 , -pounder, but the in
experienced Haney muscled Ihis
way through to a victorious sea
son.
ICE ENTERED the post-eason
tournaments and fought into the
sectional finals where he lost a
referee's decision in overtime,

finals where he met State Col

Tressler, With five seconds to go
in their bout Haney got called for
stalling and lost a heartbreaking
4-3 decision.
As a junior Haney again grap

the opponent was Tressler and
this time the prize was the state
