M During the last week of September, something new came to Youngs- ville High. It was during this week that twelve seventh, eighth, and ninth grade boys, under the coaching of Mr. Paul, organized Youngsville's first Junior High Football Team. During the season the team worked on the fundamentals of football. They scrimmaged a little among themselves and got their bodies into good condition. During this period the team was growing, until, at the end of the season, it numbered sixty boys. These boys came from the Youngs- ville, Pittsfield, Irvine, and Lottsville School Districts. This large increase in participants was more than Mr. Paul could handle, so Mr. Bennett was enlisted to help him. Although only twenty-Five uniforms were available this year, Mr. Paul expects to uniform everyone next year. He also hopes for a six game sche- dule with other junior high teams. ejf 3 5 Ea

A The Youngsville 1953-54 Basketball Team was one of the best our school has ever had. Youngs- V1119,S record was sixteen wins and two losses in regular season play. The first team were all letter- men who had played together a number of years. James Spear and Dallas Haight were the forwards, Richard Wood and Neal Meabon were the guards, and Frank Stoudt was the center on this first five. Frederick Phanco and Richard Culver were the number one and two substitutes on the second team, which also consisted of Myron Nelson, Clarence Benedict, and Jack Bailey. Under the able coaching of Mr. Kamus, our varsity won the Upper Allegheny League Championship. The Youngsville Junior Varsity also did a fine job this year under the coaching of Mr. Paul. None of the boys had much previous experience except what they gained playing Jr. High basketball lastuyear. There were fifteen boys on the squad, all of them sophomores. They ended the season with a nine and nine record.
