Taking A Chance This year’s Junior Varsity football team did better than the scores show. Many of last year’s players returned again this season to show their stuff. There were also many new freshmen that added their bodies to aid in the fight against opposing teams. The final record for the season was two wins and seven losses. The team started out slow. Learning to work efficiently together was the hardest thing. With the help of three great coaches; Ron Svenson, Randy Livingston, and Wally “Sergeant” Thomas, the team came together and learned to work effectively. The J.V. Loggers ended up beating Warrenton and Knappa, two teams they lost to early in the season, for the last two home games. “This team improved two hundred and fifty percent from the beginning practice,” coach Thomas said at the fall sports awards assembly. Although the team didn’t win more games than hoped for, it was good to see the guys out there taking a chance. 2 26 JV Football
