Finishing First, at Last!! One of the biggest achievements in CHS hockey history was made this season. Beginning late in July, the team members attended hockey camp at CHS for a week. Their instructors from all over the U.S. taught our hockey players the skills they needed for a winning season. Once the camp was over, the hard work began. Coach Nan- cy Bottorf had her players at school running, drilling, and playing with determination for a winning season. CHS hard work paid off, and a few team members will easily forget the 84-85 season. The team won their regional games and proceeded to the Maryland semi-finals. Things were looking up early in the season. Chopticon had 1 loss to Hebron. The Leonardtown Chopticon game was a heartbreaker. We lost 3-2. The team was now more determined than ever to break the Raiders 43 game winn- ing streak. In the regional championships Leonardtown and Chop- ticon met again, this time at Leonardtown. The excitement mounted . . . our players were ready to play hockey. The lead was taken by Chopticon 2-0 in the first half. In the second half 1 point was scored making it 2-1. The game was edgy. Chopticon’s sidelines were wat- chinig with enthusiasm as the final seconds ran off the clock. Players, spectators and coaches ran on to the field to share in the winning spirit. Chopticon had beaten the Raiders 6 year winning streak! Although the Braves ended with a loss to Magruder, the season was complete. Few of us will forget the good times . . . the bus rides home with the radio blasting, the “massive” jokes and the stops at Columbia Mall. CHS hockey players have a lot to be proud of because You Did It. It’ easier to play with your eye» open. But Sandi Banagan does just fine with 'em closed. Hold it right there!
