Sweet Georgia Brown filled the halls with music — it was the day of the Thomas Dale game — revenge was in the air. By noon it was snowing — by 3:15 it looked like a blizzard — and still no cancellation. Thomas Dale wanted to play, so faithful Hopewell fans fought the snow and slush all the way to Chester. Air was tense in the Knights gym as the two teams prepared to jump. The game was hard fought all the way and the Devils managed to stay in the lead or close behind for the entire game. Hopewell went to the boards to capture rebounds and also for lay-ups. Richard Pate and Leonard Sprately did the work of rebounding with I I and I 6 respectively. While Hopewell was out rebounding Thomas Dale, they were also out shooting them. The Devils hit 27 of 56, the Knights, 27 of 69. According to fans the whole game was rather nerve-racking but the fourth quarter was the worst. Devils went into it with a five- point lead, 54-49. With 6:46 the Knights began to catch up. After that the lead bounced back and forth. The score was 70- 69 in favor of Hopewell with 5 seconds left. Thomas Dale got the ball with three seconds showing: Frankie Webster grabbed the ball and shot from mid-court at the buzzer — it was off target. The score remained 70-69. Our Blue Devils had sought revenge and won. Varsity Basketball 17
