O'Neill JH Ends Season With A Double Header


The O'Neill Junior High football team finished their season with a double-header on October 13th with a 18-0 victory over Wagner and a 0-38 loss against Valentine.

Thirty-nine boys were involved in junior high football this season.  The boys were divided up not by grade this season, but into "A" and "B" teams this year.  The "A" team was the competitive team while the "B" team was designated as the developmental squad.

The season began with a loss to Ainsworth on September 22nd, 0-22.  Five days later, the Eagles battled Ord losing 0-26.  A tough West Holt/Stuart squad entertained the Eagles on October 4th defeating them, 6-22.  

The Eagles then hosted a double-header with Wagner and Valentine.  The Eagles defeated the always tough Wagner team with a fine defensive showing, shutting out the visitors from South Dakota.  In an attempt to get the team the most games they could, they competed against Valentine on the same evening, with not as good of a result.

All of the coaches felt that much improvement was witnessed throughout the entire season.  The team will return seven starters next year and there is a lot of anticipation about next year's team.  Many of the boys are already working hard in the weight room in preparation for next year.

The Eagles were coached by James Burtwistle, Mike Peterson, Dale Jackson and Joyce Burival.
