Chesapeake JV Field Hockey Wins Regular-Season County Crown, Makes County Final

Posted

The Chesapeake JV field hockey team wrapped up its outstanding season on October 21 by taking on South River at Glen Burnie High School in the first-ever JV field hockey county championship game.

South River came up with a first-half goal by Katherine Wanner to win the game 1-0 and claim the title over the Cougars.

The Cougars were the regular-season county champions with an 8-1 county record. Chesapeake defeated South River 1-0 in the team’s regular-season matchup on September 23. The Cougars finished the year 10-3 overall, falling only to Spalding, Severna Park and South River.

Chesapeake’s team of Emma Habercorn, Lexi Paul, Jordan Hood, Tinna Mavica, Riley Evans, Charlotte Alexander, Sydney Reeves, Abby Warner, Skylar Wall, Laci Hynson, Erin Bock, Addison Widmer, Sydney Thatcher and Shelby Brown made their coaches, school and families proud, said head coach Stephanie Campbell.

“I’m proud of how young the team is — we have 10 freshmen — and the sophomores really stepped up and were leaders on the team,” said Campbell, who coached the team with assistant coach Lindsay Mayo. “We have 14 players, one injured, 13 players, you play with 11, you’ve got two subs, everyone’s constantly busting their behinds and getting done what they have to get done. I’m super proud of them; first year of the county championship and they’re in it as the No. 1 seed. We cannot ask for more of them, especially having a small squad. They all were a cohesive group, and they’ve been a joy to coach.”
