Experience and Skill Gained by Young Team The Lady Bulldogs opened the season with only three varsity players returning from last year. Inexperience, however, did not dampen the spirits of the young team as they took the field against the green of Saint Ger- trude’s losing by a small majority of 2 to 1. The season continued with losses against Thomas Jefferson, Saint Catherine’s, Collegiate, and Hopewell; but the spirit and the teamwork of the group never ceased. This aggres- siveness paid off when the shin-knockers won their first game with a victory over Marymount, 3 to 1. Closing the season, the team met their arch-rival, John Marshall, in close competition ending with the Ladies on the winning side of the score. Aided by her sister, Carmen, Sharon Gaunt was te- sponsible for the majority of the goals for the season. The entire forward line, however, received much sup- port from a strong defense with many up-and-coming underclassmen. Mrs. Peple, new to George Wythe but not to hockey, did a great deal to encourage the girls and improve their skill. The Lady Bulldogs ended the season with a fine showing at the District Tournament defeating Saint Gertrudes, 2 to 1; losing to one of the top teams, Saint Catherine’s, 3 to 0. Nancy Moorefield, a senior and captain of the team, was chosen for the Tidewater Reserve Team and elected its captain. Gertrudes.

Lady Basketeers Break Even with 4-4 Record Returning with five of last year’s six varsity players, the Lady Bulldogs showed prospects for a good year. Filling the sixth position adequately the team worked toward a winning season. The victor of the first game against arch rival John Marshall was not decided until the last exciting 10 seconds when a J.M. forward scored giving the Justices their victory, 30-29. After losing their second game to St. Catherine’s, the Ladies experi- enced their first victory against Thomas Jefferson, 37-34. Following were victories against Petersburg, 42-23, and Hopewell, 43-32, and a loss to St. Gertrudes, 44-32. With the score 36-36 at the end of the game with Collegiate, the Ladies went into two overtimes before losing their fourth game, 40-38. The team then met John Marshall for the second time but found the ad- vantage and went ahead to defeat them, 34-23. Traveling to the Tournament the Ladies made an excellent showing defeating Collegiate, 17-10, and Thomas Jefferson, 11-10, and losing by only one point to St. Catherine’s, one of the stronger teams in the dis- Aj . ; trict.
