For five years, Coach Jones has guided the J .V. football and basketball teams. This year's Junior Varsity football squad posted a respectable 5-3, won-lost record. How- ever, they lost the three games by seven points each. Included in this season was a 31-6 pasting of rival Dondero as the team provided encourage- ment for future retention of the Oak Stump. As usual, Ferndale and Birmingham Seaholm were the greatest challenge to our Knights, both games lost by 13-6 scores. A surprising East De- troit team, usually a second division regular, outpointed Kimball 27-20 to offer hope for the Shamrocks' future varsity prospects. The season had its great moments as the Knights literally crushed Hazel Park and Port Huron by 46-0 and 32-0 scores. Roseville and Mount Clemens offered stubborn resistance, succumbing finally by 19-12 and 25-19 scores. The J.V.'s offense was superior this year as was the Varsity's. Backfield men, Mike Hahn, Rick Groth, and Steve Kirby, gave their oppo- nents' defenses a rough time. A passing combin- ation of Chuck Knox to Bob Weed clicked this season. These prospects for next year's Varsity offer encouragement for the Knights' gridiron future.
