Players make most of trying football year The junior varsity team was faced with many prob- lems, resulting in many com- phcations. The only thing to do in such a situation is to make the best of what you ' ve got, and that ' s exactly what these guys did. Injuries were a problem and not only their own, they also were effected when a varsity team member was hurt because the replace- ments were made with the best players of the JV squad. This made the aftermath of injury twice as hard, the coachs not only had to make replacements but also had to make new game plans to meet the ability of the avail- able players. As the season rolled on, an awesome defense emerged which caused constant trou- bles for its opponents. The defensive plan was to be as aggressive as possible. When on the field during a game they would keep a constant pressure applied to the of- fense, making scoring possib- lities difficult. Our defense is so persis- tent that in Belton we caused both the starting and back-up quarterback to be taken out, sophomore Lawrence Massey said.
