1 1 1 M J anc 1 weshman Building on a Winning Tradition o you ever wonder where all those varsity football players come from No. they don't just appear on the fifty-yard line. Usually they've been toiling on the junior varsity and freshman teams for the past two years. As J.V. and freshman players learn the basics of the game by being the dummy squads. These squads are who the upperclassmen tackle during drills. It's not that bad because when we're seniors we'll be able to gang up on the underclassmen, too, grinned freshman Faron Owen. The junior varsity finished the season with an impressive 9-2 record. Our J.V. can hold their heads high because of the supreme effort they gave over the past season. commented Coach Cespiva. For the freshman, the drills, agilities, and games arc just starting. As they continually and understanding of the game will also mature. With an overall record of 1-4 there wasn't much cause for celebration. But during the freshman season it's not how many times they won and lost but how they developed and what skills they mastered. The freshmen have three more seasons to develop into a winning football team. I'm sure that if they take every season with as much enthusiasm as they spent on this one we're bound to end up on top. remarked Cespiva. The J.V. and freshman teams may not have had as many flashes of brilliance as the varsity. And. they may not have been a little less disciplined than the varsity. They may not have won as many games as the older squad. But they were definitely taking the right steps to building that winning tradition. TAKING A BREAK.
