Like all high schools, Groveton has numerous students who participate in sports. Over the nineteen years of the school’s existence, Groveton has gained a reputation as a loser’s school, something of a joke. This is understandable, be¬ cause in some sports the size of the student body (Groveton could qualify for competition in the Virginia AA division) has been a handicap. But this impres¬ sion of Groveton is also unfair. It obscures the accomplishments of many fine basketball and tennis teams which, in their good years, have been the scourge of Northern Virginia. The idea that Groveton is a haven for mediocrity is also be¬ lied by the performance of several outstanding individuals: Nancy Soltis in ten¬ nis, Donny Hackney in football, and Marissa Dutzman in gymnastics. Seldom does a year go by without some accomplishment. Last year, Sherry James triumphed in national track meets. This year, Groveton’s basketball team is ranked in the metropolitan area, after 3 years of taking last place in the district. Most importantly, there is enthusiasm this year for sports. Although this spirit has unpleasant side effects (e.g. obnoxious juniors screaming joon-yers! joon- yers! at pep rallies), it serves to bring the school together, making sports a valu¬ able part of the school experience.
