J.V. jokers go wild Anyone can tell you that there will never be a J.V. like that of 1980-81. lf someone happened to notice this bunch of crazies in the stands during a Varsity game and was told that they were the J.V., they probably would have laughed. Who could think these rowdy, mischievous, non-stop yell-leaders could play ball? But on the court, these jokers were wild . Unde- -1' 15 Y!!

Steve Doering, who coached the 79-80 squad to the District Crown, and this year's J.V. basketball team meant serious business. Coach Doering is a rather quiet man on the bench, but he obviously has the knack. The guys respect their coach and trust his strategy.

I Z I LX 1! WAI i Ftock roundballers have rollercoaster season Varsity Basketball 80-81 had a tough time living up to the team of 79-80. Not that they weren't tough on the courts, it was just that every game could have gone either way. Too many games ended by a very few points and too many times the scale should have tipped in FtFi's favor. But Jan Jernberg's team, despite let- downs, stayed optimistic when they could havecthrown in the towel. lt isihard to ever think of Varsity ball as just a game . One of the best moments was in the first round defeat of Temple, ranked 7th in State. During that nailbiter, up through the final 50-47 outcome, the Dragons stayed tough and pressed right on through the dreaded 3rd quarter .
