Junior Varsity Football BOX SCORE Bassett . . . .. . 0 Rocky Mount . . . . .. . 0 Bassett . . . .................... 0 Rocky Mount ................ . . . 0 Bassett ......................... 0 Hargrave ....................... 12 'The Junior Varsity team was under the able direction of Coach Jim Akers. Al- though most of the J. V. boys were inexperienced, they showed they could handle the ball as well as the other teams. In the opener, the J. V.'s battled to a 0-0 deadlock with the Rocky Mount J. V.'s. Curtis Hall wasf outstanding in the line. Ronnie Vaughn showed exceptionally well in the backfield. Again the Baby Bengals played the Rocky Mount junior Eleven. The Bengals and Eagles played on even terms. Stan Jones and Curtis Hall were outstanding in the line. Tommy Mason. Billy Swain, Ronnie Vaughn played good offensive and defensive ball in the backfield. ' D In the third and final game for the Junior Varsity, Bassett was defeated by the hard driving Jayvees from Hargrave. Although the Jayvees played good ball, they ran out of pep and Hargrave managed to put across two touchdowns. The final score was Hargrave 12, Bassett 0. As a whole, the season was valuable to the players be- cause they gained experience which they will use with the Varsity in later years. C187
