.9-1,5,,.s.,t-,,, . . Junior Jumpers The enthusiastic Junior Varsity Cheer- leaders reflected the spirit of the lower grades. They led cheers for the Football B and Junior Varsity Basketball Teams. They also contributed to the Homecoming spirit by cheering with the Varsity Cheerleaders at the bonfire and the Homecoming football game. Along with their usual cheerleading duties, the Junior Varsity girls also per- formed musical routines at some of the bas- ketball games. The Junior Varsity A Basketball Team, handicapped by a lack of height, fell upon hard times against the taller county teams. Coach Grubbs was ably assisted by Coach Carroll Cato. Meanwhile, Junior Class mem- ber, John Holladay, coached the B Team, most of whom were getting their first experi- ence in playing Donoho basketball.

The start of basketball practice was set back one week by the state football playoffs. Coach Smith compensated, however, by subjecting his players to an exhausting conditioning program, and despite their moanings and groanings, the Falcons were ready for their November 28 season opener against Cedar Bluff. As was the case in football, the Varsity Basketball Team was basi- cally a senior-led group, and their years of past experience frequently paid off in close situations. After three previous unsuccessful encounters with White Plains in the regular season, the Fal- cons pulled off the most exciting victory of the year against the Wildcats - a win which gave us our first ever area championship. The A-team members were Sophomore Roger Smith, Junior Mark Jackson, and Seniors Minton Edwards, Sam Johnson, Wes Smith, Tom Moore, Jeff Monroe, Captain David Morgan, and Bryan Jackson. Both Jackson and Moore received All-Area Tourna- ment honors, and Jackson was named to the All- County Team. The Varsity B Team was coached by Randy Coleman, a senior at Jacksonville State Univer- sity. Often described as a bunch of Sumos, the B Team has a very successful season, compiling a 12-7 record.
