JV football team has strong start The Junior Varsity football team started the season out great with a super game against Austin Lanier, resulting in a shutout. Unfortunately, however, their winning streak did not last very long. Their hard work did result in one more win over Cop- peras Cove, and an 18-18 tie against the Westwood Warriors. In spite of the team's extra efforts against each of their opponents and Coach Mike Peeble's direction, the JV team just was not strong enough to overcome their opponent's assault. The overall record in the District season was two wins, five losses and one tie. U V 95, 6 JV FOOTBALL: fFront Rowj Tim Taylor, David Everett Womble, Coach Gary Patterson.

K Sophomores play shorter schedule During their short schedule of play, the sophomore football team had some wins as well as some losses. The shortened schedule was the result of combining the sophomore team members with the junior varsity to play the JV games. The players developed in strength and experience in playing the two schedules and this kind of experience will help them in years to come, according to Coach Jim Wynne. Coach Jim Wynne leads his players in a prayer before the game. Playing a sport re- quires mental preparation as well as playing ability. Despite the abbreviated playing schedule of the sophomore team, many hours of physical and mental training were re- quired to keep them ready for each game. One of the officials accompanies members of the sophomore team onto the field. Turk Jones, Phillip Menn, Kelly Montgomery and Darren Brockway return to the field ready for play after a brief rest in the locker room during the halftime break in the game. The sophomores played a very limited schedule since many of the sophomore team members were called upon to play for the Junior h Varsity team in several of the JV games. The ex- perience of playing JV ball helped to move the boys one step closer to readiness for varsity play in years to come. Sports 19
