Field Hockey. Front row: Coach Jane Bishop, Debbie Curtis, Susan Wells, Betsy Weston, Theresa Williams, Barbara Butterworth, Becca Bowyer, Barbara Youngblood. Back row: Susan George, Lisa Howell, Denise Chivers, Patsy Hatch, Jenny Talley, Debbie Dalkiewicz, Diane Duncan, Karen Johnson. Inexperience and injuries seemed to hinder the varsity hockey team. Many of the girls had never played on a lined field before the first game. Coach Jane Bishop experimented with new strategy plays, some needing great polish but showing promise for the next season. After a lot of practices, running, and sore ankles, the team ended up at McDonald’s or Hardees for burgers and fries. Although they lacked fans, one thing they didn’t lack was enthusiasm win or lose their spirited songs filled the gym when the game was over. Diane Duncan sets up for a shot at the Bollingbrook goal as teammates Betsy Weston and Barbara Butterworth look on. Hopewell won Most Valuable Player — Theresa Williams 28 Field Hockey

The Colonials were victorious 24-36. Stephen Kitchen paces himself along the forest track of the Hopewell Course on the 27-28 loss to Prince George High School. 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
