junior raiders undergo Saturday turmoil during quest for prominence “Close” would best de- scribe a majority of the football games. Scoring two shutouts during the season, the “Junior Raiders de- feated Pembroke and Ke- coughtan by scores of 6-0 and 8-0, respectively. In a loss to Menchville, the Jun- ior Varsity team held the lead throughout the game only to watch it disappear in the final two minutes. With quarterbacks Chai- ns Pritchard and “Tinker” Ford, the JV football team compiled a 3-5 record. The team dwindled from 83 to 33 members by the end of the season. Coach James Bullock cited the reason for the small support of the team was that the games were played on Saturday morning. Parents and oc- casional bystanders were the only spectators at the- games. The majority of JV players came from Hunting- ton and were inexperi- enced. “However”, said Coach Bullock, “I’m opti- mistic about the future. I feel next year the boys will have a better attitude and more experience.” JV Football Tangents 23
