Their first try at playing football was an exhilirating experience that they will treasure the rest of their lives. The chance to play on a team gives the Junior Varsity Football players an insight on teamwork, accepting responsi- bility and respecting a superior authority. Hand in hand with this learning encounter is the chance to have a good time with the rest of the boys. The season was full of surprises including the arrival of new coaches and many eager stu- dents just waiting for a chance to get a crack on the field. The team was not as large as some of the past teams have been but they worked hard at practice and on the field. Coached by Gary Ferris and John Walden the team had a relatively successfully good year. This is the second year in a row that the team has had to get used to a new coaching staff. It took a while for them to get used to each others’ moods, signals, etc. but in time all the kinks were worked out. We look forward to seeing the older players back next year on the Varsity squad and the others back on J.V. 7. Coach Ferris gives a team member a last minute wrap- up before the game. 8.
