Having The Time Of Their Lives This year’s Junior Varsity football team coached by Pete Forgey, had a building season. Most of the players were coming out fresh and facing teams with two and three years experience. Coach Forgey explained “The team came a long way, from not knowing where to put the pads to running difficult plays. They learned to hit and just as important how to take hits.” Coach Forgey feels that if this year's freshmen play JV again next fall, Vernonia could have a strong and threatening team. The record for this season was two wins and six losses. The team had a tough comeback win over the Portland Christian Royals. The highlight of the season came with a surprising victory over the Knappa Loggers. The JV’s played like a finely tuned football machine against the Knappa team. Even though the team didn’t win as many games as they would have liked, they still had the time of their lives. 18 J.V. Football
