JR. VARSITY OPPONENT CACTUS BUCKEYE 2 O BOU RGADE 14 6 WICKENBU RG I4 22 TOLLESON 6 14 INDEPENDENCE 0 20 DYSART 26 I8 PEORIA 30 0 PHOENIX INDIAN 6 8 Junior Varsity team is inexperienced, but strong We stayed together and played to- gether as a team all the way through the season, said Coach Lee Sanderson. I have never had a team stick together like this junior varsity team. At some point in the season every- one had an outstanding game. Everyone had a job and he performed it well, added Sanderson. The junior varsity began the season slow, dropping its first two games to Buckeye, 2-0, and Bourgade, 24-6. The team ended the season with a 4-4 record. We did very well considering we were very inexeprienced. Some players had never been on a football team, said Sanderson. During the Independence game which Cactus won 20-0, everything clicked commented Sanderson. We had big plays and long runs dur- ing that game. However, l think, the best game we played this season was against Dysart which we lost 26-I8, said Sanderson. We had 25 seconds in the fourti quarter and it was the fourth down on the 4 yart line. We ended the game with a first down and six inches to go. Teamwork showed through for the junior varsity in its first season.

PHOENIX INDIAN 36 36 Many participated, said freshman coach Dave Moore. They were above average in size, but they weren't as big as last year's freshman team who were playing varsity this year. t The freshman team was plagued with problems in that so many showed up to join the team and there was not enough equipment. There was no equipment for the first three weeks which resulted in the freshman team having to cancel its first game. The school had to come up with an additional S3000 of equipment , said Moore. Mr. Moore added that at least 45-50 freshmen played per game. lt's hard to single out people, everyone contributed to our team, said Moore. The freshmen really got things together during the Tolleson game. They were consistent and controlled the game, said Moore. The freshmen Cobras beat the Wolverines 22-14.
