Breaking Midlothian’s three-game winning streak in a late September game at Midlothian gave the Devils a 3-1 record. This is how it happened . . . There was no score in the first quarter, but a 67 yard drive put the Devils on the Trojan 5 at the start of the second quarter. Malcolm Garrard ran in for the touchdown and Tim Jones kicked the extra point. A Midlothian scoring ended when Leroy Wallace intercepted in the Devil end zone. Officials spotted the ball at the Devil 20 and a sustained drive culminated in Mike Hartsell’s TD pass to Kevin Howlett. Jones’ PAT made the score 14-0. Hopewell received the kickoff at the start of the second half. The 68 yard drive that followed included two runs by Calvin Flowers totaling 35 yards. Quarterback Hartsell ran in a touchdown from the 1 and Jones added the PAT. Midlothian’s only score came after a turn-over at the Devil 35. The scoreboard read 21-8 after the two point conversion. Trojan hope for a comeback ended when Hopewell regained possession following an on-sides kick. Once again the Devils rolled down the field; Hartsell scored from the 1, Jones made the extra point and the score was 28-8. Midlothian’s dying effort was a fifty yard pass on the last play of the game. Chris Webb made a diving tackle at the 8 yard line to prevent the Trojan score, ending the game at 28-8.

Bill Henry, Rodney Boyette, and a Benedictine runner emerge from a wooded section of the Hopewell course. Hopewell lost 22-34. Injuries and inexperience in the fourth and the fifth position and the fact that the Central District was exceptionally strong in the region, finishing first and second with district runners capturing seven of the first ten places, were the reasons for the Cross Country team’s dismal 0-7 record. Though the season had few bright spots, Hopewell did drop a heartbreaker to Prince George by one point 27-28. Coach Frank Whipp commented, “With a 0-7 record there is not much we can do but look ahead. We do have a lot to look forward to — the entire team will be returning.” Crosscountry 27
