1993-94 Robert E. Lee High Wrestling Team Banquet
May 17,1994



25th Year of Lee High School Wrestling
1969-94

The 1993-94 Wrestling Team finished with a 8-5 dual meet record with three of their losses coming at the hands of cross-town rival Catholic High. The Rebels participated in eight tournaments during the season finishing fourth in the City Tournament and second in the Regional Tournament. Lee had seven state
qualifiers compete in the state tournament in Lafayette last February.

This years team was made up of a good mix of wrestlers: four seniors, three juniors, seven sophomores and three freshman.

Senior Ryan Dicharry and junior Chad Cameron were chosen by their teammates as permanent team Co-Captains for the season and they both were very deserving of the honor. The sophomore class has some outstanding wrestlers that could be very tough in the near future if they keep working hard to improve themselves.

First year wrestler Scott Boutte, qualified for state and placed in four varsity tournaments while winning the JV City title and the N State title. Keitric Barber, a second year wrestler and first year letterman, fought his weight early in the season but came on to go undefeated in JV matches (12-0) and placed second in JV State, while qualifying for state in varsity. Mike Gabel, a first year letterman worked hard to make the varsity lineup and once he got there nothing was going to move him out. Mike proved to be very much improved from his freshman year as he placed in three varsity tournaments, came in second in JV state and lead the team in 2 point near-falls (15) and tied with Ryan for 3 point near-falls (20). Tim LaTour is a two year wrestler and lettered for the first time this season with places in three varsity tournaments and four JV tournaments. Chad Cameron a second year letterman was second in varsity wins (30), and placed in seven of ten tournaments this year. Chad was much improved over last year as he became more of a leader and more physical. He finished second in the City and Regional tournaments. Next year should be Chad's year with more strength and experience. Jason Broussard, a first year wrestler also lettered this year, gained valuable experience during the season while finishing firth in the region. Three freshmen Nick Demuro, Simon Vixathep and Chad Cedatol all looked good as they all placed in JV tournaments. Junior Chris Jones along with sophomores Tim Rodrigue, Kevin Trouillier and Dereck McIntyre should help fill out the lineup next year.

(112, 119, 130)


A three year wrestler, and a two year letterman, Matt improved a great deal from his junior year to his senior year. He led the team in reversals with 36.
