It Starts Here The main purpose of the Ju- nior Varsity football team, com- posed of freshmen and sopho- mores, is to develop the skills and experience needed to up- hold the growing reputation of South Aiken's Varsity football. Under the guidance of Coaches Rusty Culbertson and Mike Roberts, the J.V. team worked long and hard to achieve a fun- damentally strong football team. The team ended the sea- son with a l-6 record, they did however defeat arch-rival Ai- ken High. The .Junior Varsity team was extremely helpful to the varsity team, since the younger squad provided the l40fJ V Football varsity's opposition during practice. Junior Varsity stan- douts were offered the opportu- nity to dress out with the varsi- ty team for their games at the end of the year. This incentive, along with the dreams of play- ing Varsity football, stirred the Junior Varsity players to work hard to improve their skills. Al- though the J.V. season wasn't as successful as hoped, it ad- ded to the development of a promising class of football players. Coach Roberts and Coach Culbertsor give advice to Drew Chavous.

Experience ls What Counts In the face of another diffi- cult season, the Girls' Junior Varsity basketball team is dili- gently working towards a suc- cessful record. Unlike previous years, the. girls competed against virtually new oppo- nents such as Wagener-Salley, l42fBoys And Girls' J.V. Basketball Midland Valley, Batesburg- Leesville, Silver Bluff, and Strom Thurmond. This year was a rebuilding year for the girls with only three returning players: Hope Yarborough, Tra- cy Coleman, and Carla Wil- liams. Leading the team in scor- ing was Tracy Coleman, aver- aging five points per game. ln the rebounding department, Hope Yarborough, averaging 8.5 rebounds per game, Tracy Coleman, averaging 6.5, and Kathy Seigler, averaging 4.5, came out on top. The girls en- thusiastically entered their sea- son with expert guidance from Coach Lydia Hopkins, which enabled them to end their sea- son on a good note and receive the valuable experience needed to play varsity basketball.
