Bringing down a ball carrier isn't as hard as it looks, thinks Dan Eiker, especially if Dave Musselman is coming to help out. With the help of many laughs, a few sorrows, and several returning lettermen, the Junior Varsity football team proved to be good prospects as next year's varsity gridders. This year's edition was probably the best physically endowed team in recent years. Although their record of two wins, three losses, and two ties did not indicate greatness, there were several outstanding performances turned in by linemen David Musselman, Tom Grady, and Tom Thurmang quarterback Tim Myers, and halfback Greg Atwater, who also majored at the varsity level.

In the last six years, teams on which this year's sen- iors composed a major part have had a combined record of 98-8. This record will be a standard by which all future teams that participate for Knox- ville Junior-Senior High School will be measured. The awesome rebounding, scoring, and defense of Little All Staters Jeff Putnam and Wayne Mastin gave the Bullets an edge that few teams could over- come when the ability of Don Johnson, Kirk King, and John Cowman were added. The vaunted fast break that is a trademark of all Jerry Hise- coached teams took awhile to get unwound this year, but when it did, it was stopped only four times . . . all four times the Bullets were stopped without the break, but every game was close.
