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.

Cheerleaders were more than pretty girls in short skirts. Along with all the attention and glamour, cheerleading re- quired hard work, self- discipline and a great deal of time. For cheerleaders, football season began in June with practice every Wednesday. Tracie Maynard, captain, 164 i J.V. Cheerleaders said, Our year started off slowly but after some hard, hot practices we've gotten a lot better. This year, for the first time, the cheerleaders attended the Esprit Cheerleading Camp here at North. From August third to the sixth, they worked as hard as other athletes learning new cheers and dances. Freshman Sally Andrews said, lreally enjoyed the week of camp. llearned a lotand we became better as a team. The squad was excited about having a new advisor, Julie Siwinski. lt's my first year ever doing this, said Ms. Siwinski, and I enjoy working with the girls. They are very enthusiastic and they're a great squad to work with. The J.V.s showed their hard working, supportive attitudes as they cheered for their teams. Go Big Green!
