With a season record of 9-1 and a second place title in district these little guys did a real BIG job. According to Coach Joe Batzel the best games played were those against Bell, Rich- land, Arlington and Grape- vine. Richland was the first game where the JV had to do something in the last minute. A pass was thrown and the JV team went 71 yards for a touchdown. They won the game 6-O, said Batzel. Due to the no passlno play rule, when the season started, 35 players were ineligible. We were unsure as to how much the added players would help us, said Batzel, Since all of the coaches worked with the junior var- sity, the JV players learn the same offensive and defensive team and were prepared to move up to the varsity team when the opportunity came. Junior Chad Canion was the clutch performer ac- cording to Coach Batzel. Whenever we needed a big play, he was always there to make it. Expecting to end the sea- son at best 5-5, the guys were surprised to end the season with a 9-1 record. It makes for a high goal to shoot for next year, said Coach Batzel. The morale of the JV team was good. When the team was undefeated they never acted like they were that good, Coach Batzel said. The excellent outcome of the 1987 JV season was not only a big surprise to the coaching staff, but also a pleasant one. Their little guys proved to be a great team.
