Working As One Unit Front: Maureen Farrell, Ron Komornik, Karl Me Niff, Frank Gorman, Charlie Merrill, Gris Miller, Mark Abraham, Dave Watson, Doug Dugan, Brion Picard. Back: Rick Linder — Coach, David Schaffer, Scott Breslin, Dave Komornik, John Giza, Sean Ensley, John Moffatt, Marty Nickley, Hank Corscadden, James Thomas. Chasing the ball, Frank Gorman moves it toward the Groveton goal. Just 19 players did not make up the Varsity Soccer Team. Each individual member, aided by coach Linder, combined his skill and effort with the others, making a close-knit team. Boosted by Doug Dugan, one of the top scorers in the district, our team accumulated an excellent record of 9-3-1. However, it was a little misleading, because of an ineligible player. The eight games had to be forfeited. So, even though our team itself was outstanding, they had to settle with last place. In the Districts, we beat Fort Hunt, 3-2. In the next round we went down fighting with a loss to Lee 1-2. With players entangling, the ball is given a tap from John Moffatt. Spring Sports 103

To keep with the ball, Mike Williford tries to get by a Hayfield opponent. Daytime, Nighttime, Saturdays, Too Charging down the field, a pass to a teammate, a well-aimed kick, a goal is made. Our Junior Varsity Soccer Team had it all together as they compiled a 6-2 record through teamwork and cooperation. Junior Varsity was not played throughout the district nor was it played consistently (at the same time of day). At the beginning of the season, games were played on Saturday mornings or in the afternoon after school. Midway through the season, the School Board reversed the decision of banning night games because of opposition from many parents. Our only night game was against Mount Vernon and we won 4-2. Saving the ball, Chris Martin prevents one less goal for Hayfield in a major defeat for the Bruins. Spring Sports 105
