Headed by new coaching staffs, the Cougar Junior Var- sity and Eighth Grade grid teams finished their season with a very impressive record of 10 victories, 3 defeats, and 1 tie. The JV’s, coached by “Bo” Carper and Jim Fore, completed what should have been an undefeated season. But because of a very controversial PAT decision that went against the Little Cougars, they were forced to finish 5-1-1. The team was lead by a host of talented players, including Ronnie Shue, Todd Myers, Roger Brown, Tony Nicely, and Guy Clark. With a number of seniors leaving the Varsity squad, the determined members of the JV team for the next three years will definitely fill the holes left open by these seniors. The Cougar Eiglith Grade team, headed by Coach Link- enhoker and Coach Mills, proved themselves to be winners in ’74. They finished with a record slate of five wins and only two losses. During the first half of the season, the Baby Cougars were outscored by rival Alleghany, who handed them their only defeats. However, the hard-fighting Cougars gave Alleghany a 20-3 beating in a very exciting climax to a great year. The baby team was captained by Randy Rose and Kenny Redman. Glen Goode was a shining liglrt, averaging over 100 yards per game. With work, CHS may return to the full football power they have always boasted throughout the history of the school. The prospects look good! NOW LISTEN UP . . . Mr. Fore gives instructions to one of his players during the William Byrd game. 20

(2.ou ax± xouan A LESSON IN ABC’S . . . No, it’s just the Pep Club displaying Cougar spirit at the Little Brown Jug Assembly 1 ' . H 4 .6 1 I 1 Jl ■ 1 1 1 1 1 u “YEAH, HE DID, JED!” Granny (Mrs. Cvizic) tells the Clampets and the Drysdales about the missing Little Brown Jug. The Little Brown Jug remained at home for another year since the Cougars defeated the Mountaineers in the annual Idttle Brown Jug Contest. During the week before the game, the cheerleaders motivated the student body with various activities. Thursday before the game was “Lick-the- Mounties Day” as the cheerleaders sold suckers to the student body. Friday was Mountie Day, which called for bib overalls and flannel shirts. Even the faculty did a skit at the pep rally that afternoon. Later Friday night, the Cougar football team highlighted the week with a 21-0 shutout over the Mounties. The Sadie Hawkins Dance finalized the football season at Covington High. Sponsored by the Varsity Cheerleaders, the Sadie Hawkins is a special type of dance where the gals invite the guys. The main attraction of the dance was the crowning of lil’ Abner, Gerald Carpenter; and Daisy Mae, Cheri Kelley. TWINKLETOES! The Varsity Cheerleaders demonstrate their talent as they dance to “The Way We Were.”
