JV and Eighth Grade Competitive JV running back Larry Keen does stretching exercises at afternoon practice. Eighth grade place kicker Eugene Hall kicks off to the Carver Trojans. The Junior Varsity football team had a season filled with close games and very com- petitive teams. Their season record was 4-4. We were a good team that could have been bet- ter, says Coach Jim Jervey. He along with fellow Coach Eddie Crabtree commented on how good the players were. We loved working with them. They caught on quickly to what was going on in the game and we think that's important for any team. The most aggravating point of the season was in their game with Drewry Mason. The gun went off with four minutes left on the clock and with the team on the brink of a Lancer touchdown. The game ended with Drewry Mason com- ing out on top 20-14. Coach Fiandolph Chavis said, They were a good team. We had some very outstanding players and they were willing to work. He of course was talking about the eighth gradefootball team who ended their season with a 4- 3 record. They had a lot of close games and when they lost, it was in the closing seconds of the game. In closing, Chavis men- tioned that some of the players make a future varsity football team look very promising. Athletics - Football 69
