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

Time For Setting It Up “This was a relatively young team this year and the players can look upon this season with mixed emotions,” says Coach Dan Foss. There were ten team members including team Captain Noelle Aultman who also was awarded Most Valuable and Honorable Mention. There were only two Seniors this year on the team: Alyssa Skinner and Noelle Aultman. Both of them played outside hitter during the season. The team will miss their efforts next year. Most Inspirational award winner and league nominee, went to Sophomore Carla Homes along with Lora Price. They added greatly to the young nucleus of the team. Sophomores Lora, Carla, and Angie have much potential. Freshmen Betsy Simpkins was awarded Most Improved and was starting outside hitter for the majority of the season. The teams statistics overall were four wins and eleven losses. League scores were two wins and seven losses. Vernon-ia’s volleyball Lady Loggers had much enthusiasm throughout the season, “This was a memorable season for me as a coach,” says Foss.
