The young Cavs had much determination and the taste for victory. This attitude aided them throughout the season to keep practicing hard and build a quality team. ln their opening game the Ju- nior Cavs Iost to West Rowan, but the experience gained by the players in this game helped them 162 X JV Football in games with East Rowan and Lexington. North's first taste of victory came against Ftandleman. Behind the leadership of quarter- back Larry Dixon and receiver James Houpe, the team prevailed 34-14. The Cavs had a poor showing against Salisbury, but bounced back to defeat West Davidson the following week. ln the next two games the Cavs played well, but again fell short to Southwest Guilford and Thomas- ville. Then the Cavs traveled to Ledford where they tamed the Panthers with the running of Nelvin Wilkes for a 38-10 victory. In the last game of the season the Junior Cavs dropped a heart- breaker to East Davidson 7-6. This ended the season at 3-7. Even with a young team the Cavs still gained valuable experience and leadership which will prove essential in the upcoming sea- son. Jim Young.
