Patrick Henry fields separate Junior Varsity and Freshman teams in football and basketball. The Freshman football team, coached by Mr. Mosser and Mr. Fracker, experienced a 4-l-l season. Coaches Briggs and John- son saw their J. V. footballers strug- gle to a 3-3-l record, however, many players gained experience. Mr. Fracker and Mr. Johnson doubled as Freshman and J, V. bas- ketball coaches respectively. The Freshman team won only three games, but the final victory was over previously undefeated Monroe Junior High and made the season a success. Likewise, the JV's had a good season, boasting the best rec- ord ll3-5J ever for a P. H. Junior varsity basketball team. BELOW: Members of the Freshman basket- ball team are fkneelingi R.

Experience was the path that I-ed to Patrick Henry's first win- ning wrestling seas'on. Coach Briggs's grapplers posted an 8-5 record. More victories increased interest in the sport and brought larger crowds tothe matches. A The most exciting contest of the .season was a close victory l25-221 over Dublin which stood 22-5 in their favor at one time. A win over a strong William Byrd team avenged an earlier loss and highlighted the year. Juniors Mike Blaisole and Jim Bishop led the team with identical ll-l regular season records. Mike finished an impressive sixth in the heavyweight division at the state meet and was named the team's outs'tanding wrestler. With all except one wrestler returning from the strong l963- 64 team, Patrick Henry should shortly become a City-County mat power.
