he athletic year began with four of the five fall sports seizing District titles. The spirits of the athletes soared. This carried over to the coaches as well as to the parents. Spirit contributed to the victories of the winter sports teams. Every team brought Midlothian the Dominion District Titles. A few of the sports even took Regional Titles as well as their District Titles. Although no Midlothian team stood above the others, all of the teams had their own form of originality. From the pigtails, painted faces and boxers of the girls’ field hockey team to the jerseys and sunglasses of the foot- ball players; each team had its own way to get psyched for games, meets, or matches. By ex- pressing themselves off the field, the teams helped to improve their performances.

Most of the team was inexperienced and young. They had only five start- ers returning. This lack of experience was not evi- dent during their games. The girls worked together as one unit. Catherine Bew contributed many goals to help insure the team’s victories. The defense was led by Kristen Hess, Christy Funai, and Shannon Mitchell. Tracy Watkins, Katie Logan, and Katina Lear all helped the teams offense. These were not the only key players on the team. Everyone contrib- uted to the teams success. Each of the players began the season with a basic knowledge of the game of field hockey. If they had not played the previous season, the players attended a summer field hockey camp to learn about the game. Even the players on the team that did not start the first game, started at least one game. All of the players had equal skills therefore, the team had a lot of depth. This allowed everyone a chance to play in the games. The team finished their season with four wins and three ties. During the entire season, the team allowed only one goal to be scored on them. This helped them to end the s eason undefeated. ‘8Q% JUNIOR VARSITY FIELD HOCKEY Waning FRESHMAN, RON STRADONE and Devin Floyd, wrestle to see who can “pin” the other first.
