J.V. quarterback. Kelly Griffin, gives the play to the huddle. J.V. and Frosh get new coaches This year’s J.V. and Freshmen football teams both finished the year with 5-2 seasons. Both teams had new additions to their coaching staff. The J.V. team had new coaches Chris Stauffer, and former freshmen coach Bob Mallory. “The team was made up mostly of sophomores with good ju- nior leadership,” said Mallory. All players showed great improvement over last year, and they are looking forward to next season. Bob Mallory called this year’s J.V. team “The best group I have ever worked with.” The highlight of this year’s J.V. sea- son was a 26-0 win over rival Clatskanie with the dissappointment being a 0-21 loss to Scappoose. This year’s freshmen football team also had a suc- cessful 5-2 season. This season the freshmen had two new coaches. Larry Soto and Brian Bennett. “The size and talent of the kids made my job much easier,” said first year coach Brian Bennett. The high point of the season being a 43-6 win over As- toria and the low being a dissappointing 6-26 loss to Seaside. J.V.
