The team suffered the loss of the majority of their more experienced players to the var- sity, but with the spirited participation of new players and the few veterans, the girls managed to end the season with a 4-5 record. In the season opener, the long summer practices paid off as the JV’s literally rolled over Amelia. The game with Kenston Forest was the end of the winning streak. Unnecessary turnovers and not enough shooting ended the 34-game win string. The Mecklenburg game was one of the most exciting of the season. Thougli the girls felt they didn’t play their best, they held on for a double-overtime victory. Tension mounted as Lucy Peebles broke the deadlock with a layup, and Claire Dickie padded the lead for a four-point win. At Prince-Edward, teamwork was at its best. The girls knew they would have won, had it not been for untimely turn- overs. The second game with Amelia saw the Patriots score a few points more; never- theless, BA easily ran over them. The Kenston home game was one of the best the team played. Both teams’ pride was on the line, as BA held the lead until the third quarter. Kenston then overtook and contained the JV’s for their second BA defeat. The second meeting with Mecklenburg was a seesaw for the lead. The JV Knights scored first and kept the lead throughout the game. BA’s girls cauglrt up and gained the lead, but lack of alertness and experi- ence again defeated them. The season’s finale with Prince Edward proved to be a game where every second counted. With 50 seconds to go, the JV’s played their hearts out and scored seven straight points to tie the game at 44-44. But with two seconds on the clock. Prince Edward gained possession, and shot as the buzzer rang. The basket was good, and the girls suffered a heartbreak- ing loss to end the season, leaving the team with a 3-5 record, 4-5 with the non-conference victory over Hugnenot. Most of the losses were close, with two being by five points or less. With the spirit and promise shown this year, it is hoped that in ’75 the JV girls will be back on top again . . . where they belong.
