Worthy again showed their ability to participate in athletics. They began their season with a new coach and many new girls. But as time went by, all combined their efforts to make a basketball team which their opponents knew would be hard to beat. The J.V. and Varsity teams were picked from a group of about 50 girls. The J.V.’s, although they were an inexperienced team, came out with a record that could well develop into an undefeated team next year. Girls Showed Enthusiasm in Basketball Junior Varsity: R.

Shaker Grapplers Improved ’64 Performance Although thi s was only the second year of varsity wrestling, the team proved to be a headache for their competitors. The squad lacked experience, but they made up for it with the desire and de¬ termination to win. The team got off to a slow start with Tazewell but the un¬ defeated Marion team was nearly upset by the Shakers in their second match 23-27. It takes several years of tough competition and hard work to produce good wrestlers. Worthy has the raw material; all we need now is the ex¬ perience that only time can bring. With this in mind, we can expect great things from our wrestlers when they get a few seasons under their belt. 51
