Corner on Sports: Virginia Woolen Trophy on Display
A handsome trophy for the Virginia Woolen softball team, city champions for the second straight year, sits in the Northern Virginia Power Company window. Ray Garrabrandt notes a near-future presentation at a dinner and urges stronger club management to avoid future woes. Coach Bob Kilmer predicts Stephens City can challenge any Valley Athletic League school with more practice. Kilmer’s team beat Frederick County for speed and experience. Bryant Harper’s win over Boyce marks Clarke County’s first defeat of that rival, aided by Harper’s birthday request to the players. Sargent and Baker fueled a damp, cold Park Front Royal opener as Winchester’s future foes shows two victors among three. Martinsburg lost to Waynesboro, and Berkeley Springs upset Petersburg while Romney edged Charles Town.
