The 1980 Junior Varsity season was played by one of the youngest teams in Sprayberry's history. The members of the team were always fired up and were an inspiration to the other teams. They were a dedicated group who showed the true idea of sportsmanship in every sense. Varsity player Teena Pounds commented, The J.V. team was really great. They obeyed Coach Chandler totally and were really enthusiastic about softball. A memorable close game this year was the bout against North Cobb. Sprayberry's Robin Crump hammered out a homerun in the sixth inning to win the game. They ended the year with a 6-4 record. Above lell: THE .l,V.

Sprayberry stole the tournament with three perfect scores against Wheeler 19-OJ, Walton 16-OI, and McEachern Q9-OI. Coach Chandler added, Though our record wasn't the greatest, I feel that we did exceptionally well because we had three shut-outs. The Varsity Jackets placed third in the tournament.
