J.V. Braves Grow Up The 1983 ).V. Football team posted a 2-6 record. The record was not a full account of the total season. Several hard fought games were lost by a close margin. They started the season by losing to Lackey and Thomas Stone by considerable amounts. The team just didn't have it together according to Coach Charlie Baker. After those two losses they solved many personnel problems and bounced back the next week to defeat LaPlata 28-8. The streak continued with an exciting win over Leonardtown. Next was a game with the tough McDonough Rams. The Braves played well, but to no avail as they lost 26- 7. They played well the rest of the season against Northern, Calvert, and Great Mills but could not come up with a victory. The young Braves learned a lot during the season and most of all grew up with the help of Coach Glenn Richards.

Attacking Straight Ahead A Dynamite Season was a way to describe the 1983-84 Lady Braves Field hockey team. With the return of approx- imately all of the 1982-83 team and the ad- dition of five freshmen, the Lady Braves had the advantage of a more experienced team than previously. As the season began, the girls displayed great team power and scoring abilities. Defensively, they used superior strategy and quickness in defending the CHS goal area. In addition, offensively, the girls displayed a hard driving force, team power, group «effort, and know-how in dominating the field and scoring. Existing talents from Lisa Carter, Chris Banagan, Tish Sydnor, Bridget Holton, Deb- bie Harper, and their team-mates got them through the season and to the conference finals. Coach Bottorf was a strong in- fluence and superior advisor to the team's success. Although the Lady Braves were eliminated from the finals by Mount Hep- burn, the wisdom of the coach and the skill of the team members led to a successful season. Sandy, come and gel it! Angela Thompkins and Sandy Banagan team-up to stop thetr opponents field strategy This would surely be alot easier if the hall would sit st .
