Junior Varsity sports arc a very im- portant step on the way to Varsity competition. They give new players the chance to learn skills and gain the experience they need in Varsity games. The good thing is that they do this through their own competitive games. The JV basketball team had a fair season this year. They ended it with a record of twelve wins and sixteen losses. They gained a lot of valuable experience for next year. Many of the players will move up to Varsity. The JV soccer team ended their season this year with a record of nine wins, three losses, and two ties. One of the unusual events this year was to find girls playing on the Waynesboro team. After the intial shock, the boys returned to their usual game and de- feated the Indians.
