On a cold and wet Wednesday afternoon, the Henry Patriots set out to beat the Kearny Ko- mets. Accompanied by fifteen sticks, the girls headed for the field. Be aggressive! was the most often used cheer of the Patriots . . . and ag- gressive they were. Using both speed and strength. they had the ball on their opponent's side of the field and pre- pared to score. Teresa Ybarra drove tha ball into the goal but it was blocked by the goalie.
