Football and basketball were han- dled well by the junior varsity teams as the JV netters doubled the JV grid- ders winning streak. Motivated by a loss in the season opener, the gridders ran strong in a six-game winning streak, only to lose their final game. The record at the end of the season stood 6-2. Roger Frazier, halfback, scored the most touchdowns of the squad. Clar- ence Coble and Frazier were targets for top passer Rick McAvene. Mike Lee and Dan Smith, both jun- iors, were part of a crew that gave the team an excellent defensive back- ing. Offense was led by Coble, Fra- zier, and McAvene. Junior varsity roundballers won their first 12 games this season and ended with a record of 15-3. High scorers of the squad were Mitch Allen, Rhett Baumgartner, Clar- ence Coble, all sophomores, and Artie Taylor, junior. In NCC competition, the team could not be bested. They won all NCC games. A highlight of the season was their victory over Anderson in the fi- nal game, played on the home court. iiiient falls at the hands of a Richmond J FOOTB.XLL. TK AM — FRONT ROW: Roger Fra .ier.
