THE BEST YET There is an old saying that goes, Anything worth doing is worth doing well. That was exactly what the Kecoughtan football team did as they finished second in the highly competi- tive Peninsula District. The success of the season was a credit to the hard work of not only the players and coaches but the cheerleaders, adminis- tration, and student body as well. Head coach Howard Jackson with the assistance of coaches John Pauls, Tom Millen, Gordon White, and Jerry Hall guided the Warriors to an impressive 8-2 record. The only losses suffered was an early setback to Menchville and a heartbreaking 14-12 defeat at the hands of eventual state champion Hampton. These defeats, however, were outnumbered by the eight victories. Highlights of the season included victories over rivals Bethel and Phoebus along with a Homecoming shutout of Lafayette. An offense, which featured a balance of passing and run- ning, rolled up a total of 214 points in the ten games played while the stingy Warrior defense held opponents to only 87 points. Several players were rewarded their fine performances.

Led by Coach Mark Vandervort, the success of this team was due to the match experience of the older players and the hard work and dedication of the first-year mem- bers. The Warriors suffered their first loss to Hampton with a score of 4-5. Bounding back from their losses, the team scored decisive victories over Fer- guson, York and Bethel, with both the individual players and doubles teams contributing to these victories. Most Valuable Player and number one seed Mike Gibson had the most love sets, while William Cash proved to be the Best in Tie-breakers. Senior Kevin Yeargin was voted Most Dedicated by his teammates. The long hours of after school and weekend practices paid off, as the Warrior Racqueters ended with an exceptional 8-4 record.
