4 ' J.V. Football Everyone Plays The 1978 J.V. Football team got off to a slow start this season, but under the efforts of first year coach, Brian Montgomery, they progressed with determination. The team's overall record for the year was 2 wins, and 3 losses. Games lost for this season were against Banks, Warren-ton, and Knappa. Wins came against Lutheran and a tough Clatskanie team. The team was small this year, and relatively inexperienced. With well over half of the 16 players being freshmen, the squad was also a young one. Because the team was so small, everyone got a lot of playing time. Most of the guys on the team played on the offense, the defense, and the special teams. The whole squad will benefit because everyone got to play so much. The experience gained from this season will prove to be the deciding factor for many close games in the future of their High School years. Top Row: Joe Richardson, Wes Argue, Pal Dotter.

Cross Country 2nd At State Winners! You bet. The VHS Cross Country Season was a winning season from start to finish. The boys team defeated all teams in the Northwest League and District One, and went on to place second in the State! Along the way they even defeated several AAA size schools. Karl Garner proved to be the outstanding runner throughout the season, and finished second at the State Championship meet in Eugene with a time of 15:44. Senior runners Jeff McMas-ter, Pat Lowry, and George Ray had a good season and will be missed greatly next year. For the first time ever, a full girls team ran this year. The four sophomores and one freshman were lead by second year runner, Carole DeLemos. who placed 12th in the State A girls race in Eugene. Coach Ron Remsen states, “Next year should prove to be another good year for boys and girls teams. All girls will be returning, and the strong boys team should continue to place high in state competition.” I. Kalhi Rinks makes a greal finish of 7th place at the District Meet in Pier Park. 1978 CROSS COUNTRY RECORD Opponent Boys Girls Tillamook Inv. 4th 12th Rainier 2nd 4th Colton 1st 1st Clatskanic 2nd 2nd Columbia Christian 1st 1st Vcrnonia Inv. 1st 1st Champocg Inv. 1st 9th North Marion Inv. 1st 3rd Catlin Gable 1st - Portland Christian 1st 1st League 1st 1st District 1st 2nd State 2nd - Back Row: Coach Ron Remsen.
