Al most unanimously the Blue Devils are saying that the Charlotte squad Is the team to heat. Johnny Cook and Boyce Brown echo the threat posed by the Charlotteans, but neither wrestler has conceeded the match. (The AH&Myers Park match is scheduled for Febru ary 9.) "Well give them a good, close match," Cook said. "II we lose- a match this sea son ? and I doubt that we will ? It will be to Myers Park," he continued. "They're a strong team," Brown interjected. "But We can take them" The two seniors are confident Wul iivl cwiy, ffpHHTlauC l/tl I not blind t( a . possible set back. * An honor student at Appala chian High, Co hk is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Jack Cook of Route 4, Boone.

This year, moving up to the 133 weight division, he has added two more wins to his overall record. In addition to wrestling, Cook i* active in the National Honor Society and Social Dance Club. Three years ago he played base ball for the high schoolers. Cook has a sister younger than he. The light-haired athlete is in his fourth season of wrestling for the Blue Devils.

A husky football half back, he stands 9'9" and weigh* between 190 and 1SS pounds. Wrestling at the 130 pound diviiion last year, Brown now holds a top birth in the 138 class this year. Brown it a third-year letter man with the AHS team. He be longs to the Social Daace Club at the local school and like* to fish and hunt "in my spare time." With three older brothers who wreetled at AHS before him, Brown isn't letting his un blemished mat record go to hi* head. "I haven't done so well in state tournaments? not Mar ly ae good aa Uwy (hi* broth er*) did." Bill Brown, who was gradu ated in 1938, was a state champion in high school and was an AAU champion wrestler for the Mountaineers of Appa lachian State Teachers College.

Both Cook and Brown have their eye* set on attending col lege. Cook is heading for ASTC where be hopes to wrestle and major in chemistry. Eventually, he says, he wishes to teach and coach. Brown also wants to attend ASTC but is dubious about be ginning a college wrestling career. As for the Myers Park match, well, who can say?
