Although this team has no regular league schedule nor games, it is a team to be recognized and to be proud ot. There is no regular schedule since many coaches prefer to use the games as an opportunity to give the sophomores and iuniors on their varsities more game exper- ience. Only sophomores and iuniors are on the iunior varsity. The iunior varsity holds regular practice sessions daily after school in the girls' gym and occasionally scrimmages with the varsity or B basketball teams. The players do not receive awards or earn letters as do the varsity or B teams. This is Coach John Conley's third year as coach. He also coaches junior varsity baseball.
