Building for next years varsity The Tucker County JV girls finished the season with a winning record of nine and six. They played a tough schedule but proved that they could compete with some of the best. The vast majority of the JV squad consisted of Freshmen and Sophmores, thus creating a more experienced team for the future. They tacked in experience and also in size, however, they made up for it in skill, speed, and determination. An important quality they posessed was that they never let up, whether they were ahead by twenty, or down by twenty, they kept right on hustling until the final second ticked off and the ending buzzer sounded. Although the team was relatively young, they were very advanced in their athletic abilities, plus there is ample talent returning for next year's JV team, as well as many hopefuls for next year's Varsity line- up. These are just the kind of athletes it takes to build a good team. They knew the meaning of hard work, having practiced against the Varsity team all season. They realized what it took to succeed, and they were willing to give an all out effort to do just that. E. Preston 48-20 Hampshire Co. 40-34 Pocahontas Co. 51-39 C.

“FORE” ever trying Starting the 1987- 88 school year the golf players prac- ticed long and hard to get ready for their upcoming matches. There were very few experienced players on the team but experience is the best teacher and these players learned quickly. “Fore was the newest word added to the limited vocab- ulary of the “putting pupils of the sport. A hole in one was the goal of every player on the team. “Green'’ was their favorite color and “birdies their fa- vorite animal. The movie, “Caddy- shack took on new meaning for these would-be pros. The team tri- umphed once, beat- ing Gilmer County. They had some close scoring games, but couldn 't seem to emerge victors due to lack of experi- ence. They also managed to pull through another win against Hedgesville during the regional tournaments. With an undying spirit the players did their best to make the season a suc- cess, but unfortunat- ly met many adversi- ties. Despite all their problems the TCHS golf team, “NEVER TUCKERED OUT.
