Ability and Determination Yield Outstanding Record for FCHS’ JV’s The Fresh-Soph football squad illustrated throughout the season that the tradition of excellence in football being built here at FCHS will fall into capable hands in the near future. This squad played brilliantly all season long and proved that when they take to the gridiron anything is possible. The J V Tartars applied their time, talents, and efforts to their work and finished out the season with a fine 6-1 record. Offensively, they were sound at all eleven positions. Outstanding offensive blocking, power and speed in the backficld, strong passing arms, and list of sure-handed receivers were the keys to an explosive offense, as examplified in the JV Tartars 46-0 whitewash job on Mahomet-Seymore. On defense, they are equally sound and well-rounded. The defensive unit frequently gave the ball to our offense due to their sharp awareness on the field. Yes, this squad can be and will be proud to carry on the football tradition at FCHS.

Valuable Knowledge and Experience Gained Through Rookie Efforts Beginning their football careers at FCHS, the Freshmen football squad ran head on into a tough schedule. However, they proved that they can play tough hard-nosed football with the best of them. They finished the season with a record of 0-6-1. The youngest Tartar squad showed promising hopes in just about all positions, offensively and defensively, as the season progressed. The belief is strong, therefore, that with the experience and knowledge they gained on the playing field and under the guidance and direction of Mr. Beyer, that these boys will progress rapidly and fall into a fine football squad as they gain more experience and apply what they have learned.
