J.v. Squad Represents Future Success of the Varsity Gridiron Following in the footsteps of an outstanding varsity team, Junior Varsity football produced sparkling action, concentrated determination and an overall winning sea- son. Guiding the underclass- man through this season were Coach Kovats and Melin. In the course of the sched- ule, the team met many of the same schools which faced our varsity. The early weeks of the season were characterized with a slow start, due to in- experience and many injuries. But as the season pro- gressed, the J. V.'s made needed improvements which really got things rolling. Fol- lowing a loss to the Perry team, the Streaks gathered in three consecutive victories from Fairport, Jefferson, and Kirtland. Opposing lines clash after the snap The clash with Kirtland proved to be the greatest sea son highlight. The offense clicked brilliantly and the de- fense shutout the Hornets, thus turning the game into a complete rout for Madison. Thus we ended the season with a very respectable record of four wins, three losses, and one tie. Especially contributing to the success of the season was the defense, which displayed consistant strength. Many of the scores against the Streaks resulted from interceptions and fumbles. Aside from the fine win- loss record, the Junior Var- sity's competitive action sup- plied another important result. Valuable playing experience was gained by many players who will continue to represent MMH's name on future foot- ball fields. Because of the school's future position in a new athletic league, the mem- bers of the J. V. squad are presented with a greater chal- lenge of proving their ability and spirit to new opponents.
