Golf Team Finishes Second Jefferson Forest's first varsity golf team was able to provide the school with the best team record in the school's history. Although some of the potential play¬ ers were not eligible to compete, and school support was not totally coming their way, the team was able to overcome these obstacles and take second place in the district for the regular season. Losing twice to first-place Altavista, confidence was high that tournament play might allow an even better showing, particularly since the district tourna¬ ment was being held on the Cavaliers' home course of Colonial Hills. Instead, the Cavaliers had one of their worst days, and finished fifth. The team's season ended with Eddie Putney going to the regional tour¬ nament, although he did not place. ■ .

Without enough members to represent the school in but half the events at each meet, little hope pre¬ vailed that any meet could be won. Instead, the individual's scores became more important. With runners in the 440 and the mile relay consistently scoring in each meet, hopes were high that these runners could make good showings at the district meet. In the 440, Warren Markham placed fifth, and the mile relay team also placed fifth following a time considerably slower than earlier in the season. Next year, a better showing is expected, shown by the youth of the varsity squad, the record of the JV team, the fact that only one runner will be lost through graduation, and the hope that there will be some home meets.
