Although the football team did not bring home a fourth consecutive state champion- ship, the Wildcats represented Dosta High well and offered tough opposition to oil the teams they faced. From an inexperienced squad, a boys' bas- ketball team worthy of admiration was pro- duced The girls' sextet had the best season in V.H.S. history, losing only one of their reg- ularly scheduled games and winning the Ha- hira Invitational Tournament. Spring sports, baseball, tennis, and track, provided lively interest for the student body during the closing months of school. The golf team again demonstrated their praise-worthy ability by capturing for the sec- ond consecutive year the State Class A crown! Puckett sidesteps a Waycross player.
