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

This year’s Varsity team had a record of six wins and seven losses. The boys under the coach- ing of Mr. Allen Campbell showed strong poten- tial throughout the year. Next year’s varsity should benefit strongly from these boys. Each player showed improvement in every game. The team was led by the scoring of David W’right and Donnie Brown. All of these boys had plenty of drive and determination and were always on the floor fighting to win. David Wright (No. 21) and Marion Tomlin (No. 22) fight for control of basketball for Amherst against Madison Heights.
