HOCKEY This year's field hockey team was under the direction of head coach Karen Thomas and assistant coach Ellen Pokorny. Although they were not very successful in scoring, defensively they were very aggressive. The offense could bring the ball down the field, but just could not get it in the goal cage. lf the opportunities to score had been successful, the season would have been a good one. Leading scorer for this year was left inner Annette Bunting. Right inner Sandy Deloach and center forward Anna Wiland shared the second place scoring position. Sandy led the team in assists. Ellen Murray was a right wing, but put in any position, she could do the job. Another right wing was Delessa Derrickson who was one of the most aggressive players. Left wing positions were taken by Margo Tingle, a most improved player, and Cheryl Wingate who has the potential to become an outstanding hockey player. The defense was led by Ginny Flood, an inside halfback, who was the most outstanding player on this year's team. Sue Kleinstuber, another inside halfback, did a fine job while guarding two people at once. Outside halfback, Sandy Holloway, did a good job covering her position which is one of the most physically demanding. Greatly improved in her stick work was Becky Blair, another outside halfback. Tammy Dill, sweeper fullback, was the most dependable player and was named honorable mention All-Conference. Once overcoming her fear, Becky Moore, became a very good goalie. Although they didn't have a junior varsity team, these girls were depended on to replace the varsity players: Becky Bishop and Kay Deloach, both inside halfbacks, Lynette johnson, an outside halfback, and Barbara Anderson, a fullback. No team is complete without its managers, this year's team had the dependable help of Lesa Doughty and Karen Andrews. .892
