Dependent on summer hockey camp to develop players' skills and techniques, the Varsity Hockey team was disappointed to discover the camp's cancellation. Concerned about the betterment of the team. Coach Denise Stephenson held her own summer session a week prior to the beginning of school. Although this session did not equal the quality of a professional hockey camp, it conditioned the players and provided them with the preliminary experience necessary to begin the season. Immediate triumph over Langley left the team with a strong sense of security. Predicting that future vic- tories would be achieved easily, the team failed to play up to their potential. A tie with Woodson and a loss to Oakton clarified a slacking off in effort. Realizing that such an attitude could only result in a disastrous situation, the team emerged from their downcast position. Intense practices and drills preceded the Falls Church game. The grinding work-outs paid off, and the Statesmen crushed the Cougars, 3-0. Spirits were lifted, and the urge to win was revived. Returning to compete with better attitudes, the team enthusiastically trampled Madison, and concluded their season with a feeling of accomplishment. Vartity FitIJ f rviey - Front rote.

Swarmed by Woodson players, Chris Winters strains to receive a rebound. The Cavaliers proceeded to crush Marshall with a disappointing score of 81-52. Exploding with energy, Carroll Johnson fires the ball across the court with a powerful pass in the devastating game against Woodson. Happiness is displayed three ways by Mike McIntyre, Mark Martino, and Gerry Clemente as the Statesmen take a permanent lead over Fairfax. Accuracy and skillful shooting aid Mike Brown in scoring a foul shot point against Chantilly. The Chargers won, 70-69. Stretching to reach higher than his opponen Tim Spriggs out-jumps Chantilly and control of the ball. 92 Varsity Basketball
