Virtually ignored by the student body, the Hockey and Cross Country Teams depended on support from a few friends, parents — and each other. However, neither the Hockey or Cross Country seasons were completed until the Girls' Hockey Team challenged the Cross Country Team to a game of hockey. Hockey, a traditional non-contact sport, was modified and a separate version emerged — including tackles. As a result of the unusual strategy employed by the Cross Country squad, the girls managed to win with only a 1-0 score.

Loss jars title trail Cruising along with an undefeated district record, the Statesmen seemed well on the way to a district title. As the season progressed, however, it became evident that all these hopes would be hinged on the outcome of the two Madison games. Marshall opened the season with a disappointing loss to Edison, but followed with a four game winning streak, during which the Statesmen dumped Vorktown, Oakton, Langley, and McLean. The cagers pulled out of the Christmas Tournament with a 2-1 record and then added two further victories, over Herndon and W L. With an 8-2 combined record, the Statesmen seemed well prepared for Madison. Most of the Madison game was played with Marshall at the controls. Jumping to an early eight point lead, the Statesmen seemed to have all the advantages. Still, Madison kept it close, always maintaining a two or three point deficit. Then, with less than two minutes to go, a sudden scoring spurt put the Warhawks on top for good. The Statesmen came away with only a revengeful desire to meet again. Eyeing the lead pass. Senior Rick Smith rushes dosvncourt on a fast break. 128
