Coming off an 5-4-1 record in the 07-08 season, the Venice JV football team is having a good season by prayers and hardwork, said Coach Moss Bosley.

On Friday, the Gondos will welcome the Fairfax Lions for the Homecoming game, which is the final game at Watson Field in the regular season. The JV football team is 3-0 in league. They are looking to bring home the Western League Championship. Both Fairfax and Venice are undefeated.
