Stiff competition and tough plays became a part of the lives of this year’s Junior Varsity foot- ball team as they ended the sea- son with a record of 4-6. We appear to have had a less than spectacular year. said J.V. head coach Matt Giacalone, however, the J.V. team learned every type of defense that the varsity used and the team also used every offensive play that the varsity had.” Steaming into the season with four straight wins against such teams as Daniel Murphy and Brethren was soon over- shadowed by five straight losses This was the lowest point of the season,” said Coach Giaca- lone. “Four of the five losses were league games Due to poor execution and poor play, we ended up in last place in the league and yet we beat other teams during the year which were much better than our league op- ponents.” The season did have its high points though. According to Coach Giacalone, “The high point of the season had to be the games against St. Bernard’s, Bretheren. Cathedral, and Whit- tier-Christian. Although we didn’t win three of these games, after each, the coaching staff from these teams congratulated our team for its outstanding sports- manship. determination, and pride.
