Two Wins Climax Junior Varsity eason Robert O'DonneII is broug It was a disappointing season for the Manatee Junior Varsity Football team and its coaches, William Mur- ray and Hugh Thimlar. Both the team and coaches put in endless hours of hard work in preparation for the gridiron battles of the season. The Junior Varsity traveled to Sarasota to open its '64 season. The Sailors sent the Jayvees home scoreless, while they tallied 26 points. After another week of hard practice the Jayvees headed for Ft. Myers looking for their first win. Ft. Myers scored T9 points to the Junior Varsity's 6. Facing Chamberlain for their first home gridiron contest of the season, the Jayvees gave the fans something to cheer about as they downed Chamber- lain 25 to 0. In the next two games the Jayvees were defeated by Lakeland 20 to O, and then by Winter Haven 43 to 0. The Junior Varsity closed its season with a 7 to 13 win over Jesuit.
