A predicted promising season turned into a disappointing one for the JV football team. Coach Stan Kemp’s players got off to a fine start as they defeated Yorktown and Herndon and pulled a tie with a tough Langley team. The following week the Statesmen crushed Ma¬ dison 26-6, even without six starting players who were injured in the previous game. The second half of the season was another story. More injuries and a lack of practice plagued the JV team as it dropped the last four games. They were all hard fought, close contests, especially the Oakton game, which was lost in the last five seconds, 14-12. Right: Bob Brill and Tom Childress pile on a W L running back.
