The promise, however, was not to last as the JV squad lost their last eight games. As a result of the young varsity squad filled with juniors, the -IV's played most of the year with sophomores, who gained much experience and playing time. Coached by John Conner, the team exhibited high spirit and determination not reflected by their season outcome. Scores for their games were fSandia given secondj St. Mikes 60-73, Rio Grande 53-57, Eldorado 59-50, Del Norte 66-64, Manzano 71-42, Cibola 57-64, Mayfield 86-75, Las Cruces 54- 63, West Mesa 65-76, St. Pius 98-60, Gadsden 54-58, Alamogordo 60-47, Highland 59-45, Albuquerque High 56-52, Las Cruces 50-44, Mayfield 76- 58, Valley 80-55, Alamogordo 54-42, and Highland 80-46.
