JUNIOR VARSITY BOYS

                            SAINT JAMES participated in FOUR tournaments against Trinity.
                            SAINT JAMES won the first of the four by six strokes.   Trinity won the second by three strokes.
                            Trinity won the remaining two tournaments each by one stroke.
                            However, the Capital City Conference championship was awarded to St. James by totalling a
                            net "win" of one stroke over the four tournaments.  This format of four tournaments (9 holes each)
                            would become the determining format in the future of Junior Varsity CCC Golf.
