Junior team displays best effort With only one player returning from the previous year, the Junior High Wildcats demonstrated good potential with the late beginning they had in their season. They overcame many difficulties; such as giving a good battle to teams that were sometimes twice their size. Although they were smaller in stature, they fought hard to the end. Coach Norwood was pleased with the attitude displayed by the Junior Wildcats. He made this statement of the team, "They were a tough little bunch of boys. l do not believe that I have had a team that put forth as much effort as those boys. They really wanted to win." 1.
