Parkerburg Kid is
A P.H.S. Wrestler
There is one certain little
ninth grader who seems to be
living up to his reputation quite
well. Shawn Wilson is this
certain little guy we are talking
about.
Mr. and Mrs. Rodney Wilson
are the parents of this 95-98
pound pound wrestler They live
at 802 Leahy.
Shawn was born at Parker-
burg. West Virginia, August 31,
1957. He started wrestling with
the help of Steve, his brother,
and his dad also showed him a
few pointers.
When not in training, he fills
himself with pizza, his favorite
food.
With wrestling going on there
is not much time to goof around,
but when he finds spare time it
is pool he prefers most.
“I think Oklahoma history is
my favorite subject,” Shawn
says.
"Practices are getting a little
bit harder.” Wilson adds
He was to comment on some
other wrestler. “Mark Spencer.
Roger Murnan, and Jeff
Wimbish will take state
champions this year.”
"The fans this year are O.K.
but we could use a little sup-
port.” Shawn hints.
"My pet peeve is 'getting
beat.”
Half of the support comes
from Shawns family. They are:
Steve, Pat, Debbie, Beth Ann,
and little Tim.
Shawns idle is ‘Fujita’.
If you want to see a real good
match just come and see Shawn
display his ability.
Donnie Martin-One of the
Better Pawhuska Players
One of our hard-working
guards this week is number 11,
Donnie Martin. Martin, a
senior, is 6’0" and weighs 148.
He is the son of Rev. and Mrs.
Cornelius Jefferson.
Some of Donnie's activities
are basketball, delect choir,
mixed quartet, and VICA His
hobbies are singing and
working Martin follows the
Milwakee Bucks pro team and
he feels that LewAlcindoris the
greatest basketball player His
favorite subject is delect choir.
Coach Shuck has helped him
the most in basketball. The
most exciting thing that hap-
pened to him in basketball was
when we beat Lindsay in the
quarter-finals of the State
Tournament last year. His
opinion of the fans are "They
have good spirit and they
support us real good.”
A group of students were
asked their opinions of Martin
and such comments were ma-
de like: “He’s a real good
basketball player, a good
singer, and a real close frien-
d.”. “He’s a real fine ball player
and has alot of experience.”
"He’s a real good player and
one of the best shooters on the
team.” "He’s great on open
shots ", “He’s a real fine ball
player, has a fine touch, a good
free throw shooter, and he's
super bad ”
When asked what he has
improved on in basketball,
Donnie replied. “Mostly on my
shooting and rebounding.”
After graduating from PHS,
Donnie wants to go to college
and play basketball. Donnie has
also been on both the State
Championship teams,
Pawhuska has had for the last
two years.
Martin’s ability and desire to
play basketball will surely be
missed on next year’s team.
