Sub-Varsity Second to None Sub-varsity teams work now for future Playing second bill to var- sity sports didn ' t prove as glamorous as opening for a popular rock band. Junior var- sity players didn ' t get paid as much as opening rock bands., but did recognize that their ef- forts would be rewarded. How- ever, these players did get more breaks and had an easier time working their way to the top. BREATHER. Between routines and cheers, sophomore cheerleader Shay Purcell takes a break with her friends at the Back-to-School Barbeque in September. In preparation for their fu- tures in varsity sports, fresh- men football players had two teams on which they gained experience. Similarly, the ju- nior varsity football team con- sisted of sophomores and ju- niors that didn ' t make the var- sity cuts. Although I wish I could have played varsity this year, I think my experience in JV will help me make the transition next year, junior varsity foot- ball reciever junior Alan Alexander said. The junior varsity football program geared itself towards letting players get comfortable with their positions while giving them the experience and playing time they needed to excel. I think the junior varsity team served as a training unit: all the new players joined the team and found their position, learning all there is about it, junior varsity football coach Lefty Fisher said.

SUB-V RSITY Experience Teaches Freshmen, JV squads learn from gametime freshmen teams. The junior varsity programs of these sports served as the sole step before the varsity team. When I came to West- lake as a freshman, I got to play golf with the juniors and sophomores, varsity team member junior Mike Grindle said. It gave me a good feeling to know that I could play with people older than myself and excel. Junior varsity baseball gave me confidence that I needed, the coaches helped me to develop my swing and hit with confidence, baseball player sophomore Scott Huston said. Similarly, the tennis team worked on strokes, serving and basic court strategy to prepare its players for the rigorous var- sity practice and tournament schedule. Sometimes Coach lElsal Hinojosa worked us too hard, but I know she was just trying to see us succeed and make the varsity team, so I don ' t mind, junior varsity player junior Brandon Kittncr said. The swim team worked out every morning, concentrating on speed and endurance. The varsity schedule required a lot of stamina and more time in There ' s More... 36. .24. .18. .Hut.
