Offensive leaders were  Jermaine Deans, Michael Hargraves, and Cameron Richardson. Defensively, the Presidents were led by Steve Smith, Leotis Watkins, and Henry Staton. The  Presidents closed out the ‘95 season by defeating Indian River 12-0. The Presidents were coached by  Coach Cassell, Coach McClure, Coach Hayes, and  Coach Wilson.

V. Presidents Look 
   The Wilson Varsity Football  team played at a very high inten- sity level throughout the season.  Their record of 0 wins and 10  losses does not show the poten- tial the team has. With only five  seniors, the sky is the limit for the 
young team. Sophomore  Kavonzo Beamon and Junior  Rahn Sykes are key ingredients  to the Presidents future. Coach  Joe Ladistic will have the team  prepared in the coming seasons. 
Row 1 — Kavonzo Beamon, Phillip James, Terrence Winston, LaShawn Henderson, Stephen Ridley, Antoine Orton, Michael Hargraves, Row 2 — Stephen White, Corte Ellis, Brian Gomes, Donte Barnes, Danny Merritt, Terry Vincent, Row 3 — Victor Fonville, Laron Jubray, Cory Holland, Kevin Riddick, Leotis Watkin, Paul Connolly, Prentis Townsend, Bobby Petty, Row 4 — Kelly Williamson, Darron Mabry, Rahn Sykes, Bubba Finch, Theodore Collins, John Clark, Geoff Davis

Boys Track Team 
   The 1995-96 boys’ track team  had a great season. Some of the  highlights included winning the  district title in the 1600 meter  run and placing third in the dis- trict in the 3200 meter run. Both  of these events were won by  Kenya Edwards, a senior. He  also finished second in the re- gion in the 1600 meter run. At  the time of printing the track  team will be participated in the  state track meet in Fairfax. The  team was coached by Mr. David 
Littlefield.

   The girls had a good season  with a lot of athletic young ladies  to build for the future. The girls  finished a strong 3rd in the district after Coach Smith took over the team. The team is loaded with talent, with 3 freshmen, 2 sopho-mores, 2 juniors and 2 seniors. 
   We have a strong nucleus of returning young ladies and the  coach expects good things from  them in the future. The lady presidents were led by two All-District runners. They were Jenita Harris and Yael Lewis. Lewis will return and so will Chamae Barringer, Brandy Upton, and Talia Roulhac, to be All-District per-formers next year.

Boys Cross Country 
  The Boy's Cross Country Team Had a successful season. The boys fin-ished the season with 5 wins and 3  losses for the regular season. This team seems to progress each year. This team finished 3rd in the district after finishing 4th the previous two seasons, and 5th the 1st year Coach Smith took over. The presidents also qualified for the regionals for the 3rd straight year. We had two young men that were All-District Runners: Perez Bottoms and Kenya Edwards. Kenya also finished 15th in the regional and qualified for the state meet where he placed 10th.

V. Wrestling Has 
 The Woodrow Wilson Wrestling Team had a rebuilding year for the 1995-96 season. Over half of the team was composed of freshman while the rest were returning starters from the year before.The team places fourth in
the Oak Duals Wrestling Tour-nament and also had several placewinners in the Portsmouth Invitational Tournament. Leotus Watkins (189 pds.), and John Clark (Hwt.), both took fourth place in theSoutheastern District and advanced onto the Regional Tournament. Overall the team looked good and Reynolds looks forward to a more successful year next season.
