Junior Varsity Football Rookie Coach, Gerald Thomas, led the Junior Var- sity to a brilliant undefeated 6-0-1 record. The J.V.’s stressed defense in their past campaign, having only 5 touchdowns scored against them the whole season. The “Little Lancers” also got their of- fense into high gear scoring 40 against Xelson and 39 against Altavista. The Junior Varsity showed e.xcellent sportsmanship throughout the season, and they should benefit from the e.xperience they gained this past year. In the future, the J.V. will be a valuable asset to the varsit}’. Amherst Opposition 14 Xelson 0 10 Appomattox 0 46 Xelson 0 9 Appomattox 0 0 Brookville 0 13 Altavista 6 39 Altavista 20
