The Pressure Is On During the intense heat of the summer, rising freshmen and underclassmen began to train for JV tryouts and began a series of grueling practices everyday after school in preparation for the upcoming season.

They struggled and fought hard to gain recognition 146fJ V Football from experienced players and coaches. However, the sophomore and junior players worked even harder than the freshmen. True, they already have the respect of others, but they have to fight harder than the competing freshmen, to retain their positions on the team.
