Challenged by high goals and high hopes, the Girls ' JV Basketball Team pulled off a successful season. The team was able to exceed expecta- tions at the beginning of the year, considering its lack in height and lack of exper- ience at the JV level, com- mented first year coach Mr. William York. The season started with a loss but ended with a win- ning 12-7 record. After a dis- appointing loss to Everett, the girls came back to de- feat second ranked Eastern. As the season continued to improve, so did the team spirit. We all stuck together and kept helping each other even when we were behind, noted sophomore Stacey Ste- phens. The girls ended the season fourth in the league and im- proved their record from last year. Christina Long, leading scorer with an aver- age of 12 points per game, concluded, When we played together as a team we did real well and our overall sea- son was good.

HARD WORK PAYS OFF Inspiration, dedication and sl ill was what made the 1984 JV Football Team successful. The 5-3 season record was proof it was ready for anything. High scorer, sophomore Adam Faught, with a total of 20 points and three touch downs, led the team to victory. The players ran a total of 626 yards and 119 points this year. It was an enjoyable year, said Coach Del Cory. The players improved a lot from their freshman year, and it ' s nice to see people get better. He felt they really worked as a team and played excellent games, especially against Grand Ledge and Everett. It was teamwork and enthusiasm that made the Holt Rams JV Football Team successful. Junior Fabian ReCollet added, think we had a pretty good season. Hopefully we will continue and have a good Varsity team next year. PROUD is f ie way to describe the JV team after anotlier touchdown.

JV GROWS TOUGHER Award winning effort and teamwork were the dominate characteristics of the Boys ' JV Basketball T eam. Dedication was evident in each game even though the season ended with a disappointing 6-14 record. A very proud coach, Peter Kressler, commented, Our success should be measured on our effort and improvement. This group worked well as a team and did not value themselves as single units. The best thing that can be said about these young men is that they are gentlemen in the best sense. Team leader Todd Glynn added, The season had its difficult moments, but all in all, the team ' s closeness always kept the season in an up. Although every player contributed to the success of the team, statistically Mike Salisbury was leading scorer with a 13 point average per game and Travis Faulds was second with II points per game. Outstanding in defense, according to Coach Kressler, was Rick Iribarren. ROW I: T. Faulds, F. Watts, M. Donley. B. Stearns. S. Lounds. C. iehner. ROW 2-. Coacli P. Kressler, M. Salisbury, T.
