Enthusiastic and eager were the words first year Coach Carolyn Boone used to describe the softball team. She commented, “I made them sweat a lot! I didn’t put up with any fooling around! I play to win — and they really wanted to win. There were only two regular season losses and the one to Dinwiddie was the roughest. Hopewell stayed behind until the seventh inning when they tied the score at 8-8, only to have Dinwiddie come back in the eighth inning to win it 16-8. The Devilettes finished the season in third place in the district and lost the championship game to Petersburg 5- 3 at Sheppard Stadium in Colonial Heights. Bonner Power.

Step Forward, Swing. With his racket ready, Paul Noblin sets up for a forehand in a hdme match with Midlothian. Hopewell lost 9-2. Can you imagine cramming fourteen people, plus rackets plus tennis balls into a ten passenger stationwagon every time you had an away match? Those who got to the wagon first were the lucky ones — they got normal “human” seats. But the last two — they had to stuff themselves into the space for luggage behind the third bench. By the time members of the tennis team arrived at away matches they felt like question marks that needed to unfold. Good humor helped carry this young team to its second consecutive split season. “What they lacked in experience they made up for in aggressiveness,” commented Coach Jack Cox. Cox complimented the fine performance of number two man Jay Butterworth and assistance of freshman Pat Anderson who posed a 10-3 singles record. David Morgan hits a backhand to his Dinwiddie opponent on the way to a 9-0 Hopewell victory. Tennis Team.
