Paced by sophomores Paul Chapman, Steve Griffin, and Kit Taylor, the junior Vikings compiled a respectable 13-7 record. The Hoggard Jayvees opened their season with a stunning 64-34 victory over the Elizabethtown Yel- low Jackets and continued their winning streak for three straight games before being dumped by EC4A opponent Raleigh-Enloe. Hoggard defeated Swans- boro the following week and then dropped two straight to powerful 4A opponents, Jacksonville, and Fayetteville. The young Vikings again produced a lengthy winning streak of three games before Enloe dropped the Vikings in a rematch. Fayetteville downed the Junior Vikings, but they came back and edged Lejeune and upset 4A opponent Jacksonville. The J.V.’s next took two in a row before falling to Clinton and being nipped by Camp Lejeune. The Junior Varsity closed out its season by downing White Oak 58 to 49.

The Viking Basketball Squad of 1967-68 had a great season with sophomores showing their strength and potential, and the juniors and seniors all playing sound ball. Sophomore Mike Callahan led the Vi king offense with a 16.3 average and was backed up by sophomores Barry Napp, Mike Hewlett, and freshman Pat Lewis. Seniors Ronnie Bennett and Mike Church, with the only varsity experience on Coach Hebbe’s squad, contributed greatly to Hoggard’s first basket- ball squad. Their presence aided the Vikings to a great extent in their toughest competition. With six very experienced players returning next year, the Vikings will be even stronger and their second season should be a good one. Mike Callahan fires from the outside.

Danny Phillips puts out an extra effort on the low hurdles. SPRING TRACK EVENTS Discus, shot-put, pole vaulting, high jump, broad jump, and numerous running events making up the most complicated phase of high school athletics, spring track. Under the direction of Bob Kennedy and Frank Farrow, the track squad underwent severe training and conditioning in preparation for their first meet. Spring track is a test of skills and determina- tion as each boy must produce a great quantity of stamina. Inexperience was the greatest problem facing Hoggard’s first track and field squad. The majority of the squad was participating in the respective events for the first time ever. Desire and determination were the keys to the 1968 season. 96 Dan Langford follows through after heaving the shot-put.
