I Sophomores 3 See the Light As the Tiger Sophomores began their season under the coaching of Mike Fer- rell and Tommy Johnson, they were confident and ready to get their season underway. After suffering an early season setback, an opening game loss to Aldine, they bounced back with new vigor. The young Tigers went on to win a 9-1 record for the season, undefeateed in District and clinching the District Crown. Behind the superlative efforts of tailback Steve Westergren, and lineman Colby Thames, Jay Jenkins, and Matt Whitney, the Sophomore offense rolled to several easy victories, in- cluding a 38-0 victory over MacArthur. Also, defensive standouts, such as Darrell Sherer and Dumond Johnson, helped lead the team to many shutout triumphs. With the success shown by the Sophomores this year, outcomes such as a promising future seem well within reach. TODD SHELTON cuts back against the grain. 1983-84 Conroe Tiger Sophomore Football Team.

Some key offensive players were Larrick French and Anthony Placide, while the defense was led by Jamie Roughneck Cambell. Many of the Jay-Vee ' s proposed starting players were recruited to play on the varsity, but the team went on playing. Trying new people at new positions, they came up with a strong club. 1983-84 Conroe Tiger Junior Varsity Football Team. STACI CLARK pushes for extra yarda .
