District Champs At Nine and One Winning moments were not rare during the junior varsity football season. With a winning season record of nine and one, the title junior varsity becamean inappropriate description. The team was led to victor)' with the incredible backing abilities and the awesome rushing of the team. Coach Gary Pless explained, It is hard to single out any one player. We feel it was a total team effort. For many football teams, this season meant tremendous defeat. The Houston Oilers and our own varsity football team ended their season with devasting losses, but our junior varsity worked as if they had been a team forever! Many crazy things happened to the team this year. Coach Gary Pless says nothing was more unusual than having a time change in the schedule and arriving to the game four hours early. Then, we returned to Alief and went back to Spring Branch to play the game. Coach Pless described the least memorable game of the season. Had we not fumbled against Spring Woods on the four yardline, we would have been ten and zero. We can still reflect on all of the wins, especially winning district! A coach's proudest moment is when his team scores against their rival school joy in Coach Gary Pless' expression during this Ram-Bear game reveals his p excitement that was also felt at the end of the game when the Rams 28-6.
