J. V. Football Shows Determina tion Despite a disappointing 0-7 season, the J.V. Football team tried very hard. They were small in number, but mighty in heart. The Coach, Pete Forgey, and the assistant coach, Brian Horne, worked very hard on trying to teach the boys the basics of football. The players learned a lot about the game and also learned to play with pride, and never have a loosing attitude. The team found that football is a game of more than just putting on pads and hitting opponents. It is played with skill and coordination. They also found out that when they need to push themselves, they can. It is a team sport, not a two man game, as the team also found out. They learned to work together as a whole, and when they were down, how to keep each others spirits up. The cheerleaders were very supportive toward the team. They held many pep assemblies for them and encouraged them throughout the year. They tried hard to keep every-ones spirit up after the games. If the football program at Vernonia is going to have a winning season next year, it will need more people who like to hit and more people who are able to hit. It will also need more support from the community and more enthusiasm from the student body. It will help the players as well as the coaches to be more enthused about the games. 2 3 Us Them Knappa - Vernonia 0 18 Knappa - Vernonia 0 18 Cathlamet - Vernonia 8 34 Banks - Vernonia 6 8 Banks - Vernonia 0 10 Warrenton - Vernonia 12 28 Warrenton - Vernonia 20 47 28 J.V.
