A Winning Season for J.V. This is the first year that Venice has had a true J.V. team with its own schedule and coach. While the team lacked a number of basic skills, prog- ress was made both as a team and by individuals. Team confidence was built through three early victories, and team character was developed by turning the tables on St. Pete. Catholic in a hard fought game at home. Fur- ther proof that they had what it takes came in the effort against Manatee. Down 16 points at the half, the team brought it back to 5 just before the games end. The team leader was Lynn Gibson. And Peggy Jansen was the rebound leader and finished just 4 points ahead of Gibson for high scoring hon- ors. Cindy Binder joined the J.V. team at midseason and added that extra punch needed to gain their winning record of 10-6. Barbi Meadows, the smallest member of the team, exhib- ited a lot of scrap, especially on the defense. In the St. Pete, victory with three starters on the bench Barbi became a one girl team, directing the offense and preserving the win with numerous steals and interceptions. At that game Lynda Tenbush rounded out the starting five. The unsung heroes were the reserves, they put in the same amount of practice time but in close games had to sit the bench. That is the hard- est job of all. J.V. BASKETBALL Row 1: Kathy Clark, Leslie Allan, Barb Meadows, Lynn Gibson, Diane Katsarellas. Row 2: Coach Buck, Sherri Powell, Erin O ' Connell, Lynda Tenbush, Peggy Jansen, Barb Miller, Sandy Sowin, Lisa Kill. Coach Buck gives team advice.
