In "Go-Go Woe," Archie's attempt to master ball-handling for Coach Kleats leads to a sticky situation on a dance date with Betty, where the basketball proves harder to juggle than the perfect prom night. Written by Bob Bolling and brought to life with playful energy by artist Bill Vigoda, with inks by Mario Acquaviva, this 1968 classic captures the charm of Archie’s small-town antics. The cover, by Dan DeCarlo and Rudy Lapick, perfectly captures the lighthearted chaos.

In "Practice!", Archie’s determined to keep up with Coach Kleats’ drill—dribbling a basketball non-stop—so he brings the ball along on his dance date with Betty, much to her surprise. With Jughead’s antics and Archie’s usual charm on full display, the game of basketball takes an unexpected turn on the dance floor.
