J .V. Football The 1974 Cougar junior varsity kept itls winning tradition alive by posting their fourth unbeaten season in five years. The team picked up va- luable experience as they defeated the J.V. teams of such powers as Hutchinson and Manhattan. The sophomore team won three games and lost one. Their only loss coming as a direct result of disorgan- ization, not a lack in playing ability. The sophomores were lost in the shuffle which comes from preparing the varsity team for their first game with a new coach. 1. Junior Varsity defenders swarm a Junction City ball carrier. 2.

Accompanying them into their first year in high school was a new coach. Coach Vern Laubhan and first year coach Bill Hottman led their team to a fine season in their first year to- gether. When the year was complete, they totaled six years of coaching ex- perience, the same number of victor- ies the team accumulated on the way to a perfect 6-0 season. Although the defensive prowess of the team was less than in previous years the team showed a great offen- sive threat as they placed two runn- ing backs among the top five all-time freshman rushers. This year's team showed the ability to deliver in the clutch as they won three games by a single touchdown. Looking forward to next year the team will have the added experience of running the veer offense for a year and another year of adjusting to the system. The team will lose it's top rusher to another town. The team will have to show some of the char- acter it took to go 6-0 to pick up the slack left by him.
