The Junior Varsity Basketball team completed their 1972-73 season with a record of 6 wins and 12 losses. Under the coaching of Head Coach Jim Matheny and his assistant Ed Byrd, the Cavaliers played with the best in the league, winning several big games toward the end of the season. The baby Cavaliers, playing with mostly eighth and ninth graders, played teams with more expreience and depth, and finished the season by winning four out of their last five games. Keith Harris and Edmond DeWitt were co-captains and shared the scoring and rebounding honors. With so many of this year's players eligible to return next year to play, this season's record of 6-12 will hopeful¬ ly be improved upon. Also, those players moving up to the varsity ranks will hopefully be an asset to that team next year as well. 114 Keith Harris dribbles toward an opening as a Nelson player tries to guard against him.

A record of one win and thirteen losses does not look very impressive. Yet, when one considers that two of those losses were by only one point, a slight improve¬ ment is noted. Having only one senior and no juniors playing on the team, their lack of experience was deci¬ sive. This team, composed almost entirely of sopho¬ mores, made up for their lack of experience with their enthusiasm, never giving up — regardless of the score. Their hours of hard work paid off when Brookville was defeated 33-26, making their season more meaningful to everyone involved. Next year, all but one of their players will be back, and, led by Sheree Turpin, who received an honorable mention in the Seminole District voting and who was named this year's team's Most Valuable Player, some of the losses inflicted upon them this year will be avenged.
