9th Grade Football Gained experience helped the Rams. Lacking experience, the ninth grade football team ended the year with a 2-3 record. Despite their win-lose record, Coach John Carter felt that he had taught the team new techniques and good sportsmanship. The Ram's season started off with two consecutive loses to Forest and Buchholz but they came back and defeated Suwan- nee and Palatka. These two games proved to be the highlight of the season. In their last game with Gainesville High they suf- fered another defeat. Coach Carter didn't feel the season was a total loss because the players had gained valuable experience, which prepared them for the J.V. team.

J .V. Football Year was filled with inconsistencies. Under the direction of Coach John Carter, the Baby Rams held a 2-3 record. lnconsistencies left the Baby Rams with a 2-3 win-loss record. The J.V. team looked promising as they opened the season with a 6-0 win over Bradford but were demolished by a tough Pala- taka team 0-28. The Baby Rams bounced back from the loss to Palataka and handed Suwannee a 12-6 loss to up their record to 2-1. After the win over Suwannee, the Baby Rams improved on defense but couldn't create a defense to hold back the Canes of Gainesville High or the Raiders of Santa Fe. Respectively, they handed the young Ram team losses of 28-42 and 21-28. Al- though the Baby Rams only managed a 2-3 record, they gained experience and knowledge of how to act as a team.
