30 Junior Varsity-Sophomore Basketball Inexperience Hurts J -V, Sophs The Junior Varsity Basketball team was a very young squad. There were usually eight sophomores on the team and at times there were five sophomores on the court during a game. Players were shifted from Sophomore to Junior Varsity to Varsity throughout the sea- son, with the result that Coach Charles Doughty had a different group of play- ers to work with each game, which sometimes made coaching difficult. Consequently, the J-V squad ended up with a 2-8 win-loss record. The Sophomore team was very in- consistent. Coach Bob Thompson said, The sophomores would play one good game then come back and play a bad one. Their main problem was inexperi- ence and the fact that many had not played together before. Southeast and North were the only school that really gave the sophomores a hard time. Despite these losses, the team always gave me effort and they never gave up! Coach Thompson com- mented. The Junior Varsity and Sophomore coaches geared their teams for Varsity ball. Throughout the season, the Sopho- more and Junior Varsity players were always given the chance to excell. It was a learning year for both teams, where they gained experience and im- proved their games. The future lookf bright! said J .V. Coach Doughty.
