Behind The Scenes It is difficult for one to realize the hours and efforts that produce the teamwork, the spirit, and the loyalty in any sports activity. A lot of the training is begun before high school, but it is polished throughout Junior Varsity and Varsity participation. For some it is natural talent; for others it presents a challenge. Some say the team is only as good as the coach; in any case, a team does not exist without one. Those here at CCHS appear to be very dedicated as shown by the many hours, miles, and efforts in the day- to-day grind. When a season ends whether it has been a winning or losing one, those who have worked together have an extra some¬ thing that they will carry with them be¬ yond Culpeper County High School. s ' Dev Throughout the football season the Blue ils tried out many new plays.

Injuries Mar Young Team Spurred by two straight victories to start the season, Devil fans began to feel that this would be the long awaited season of glory for their team. Unfortunately those dreams were short-lived as the football team went on to win only one more game during the year. Plagued by injuries at key positions and a relatively young team of mainly sophomores, the Devil ' s were sim¬ ply outgunned by their bigger and stronger opponents. This team did have heart and kept fighting to come back whatever the deficit was. In the Homecoming game against Albemarle they had to come from behind several times. They never gave up and victory escaped them only by the margin of a missed two-point conversion in the closing seconds. The performance of the J.V. football team gave hope for the future. Finishing the season with only one loss, the J.V. gridders showed that Culpeper will be a name to be reckoned with in football in the near future.

ON FACING PAGE; ABOVE: Show¬ ing their teamwork, Jerrold Terrell, Tim Fincham, Mark Deane, and Jimmy Walker attempt to block an Albemarle extra point. They were unsuccessful as Albemarle won, 29-19.
