“ The Saga of the South Plainfield Ganne”
It was November First, Homecoming Day,
When South Plainfield came field hockey to play.
They were big and strong and they were mean.
They were the toughest hockey players that you’ve ever
The defense was tough and they were fine.
Let me tell you ’bout the players on the fullback line. First there’s Darice who played to cover.
She tackled and lunged ’til the game was over.
Sara the sweeper refused to fold.
In every play she stopped them cold.
Lisa our goalie came to play, i« When the ball came near her she kicked it away.
South Plainfield thought the game a cinch.
But the Wardlaw-Hartridge team didn’t give an inch. In the second half we found a hole.
And we put the ball right in their goal.
Then our defense was put to the test.
And in the final minutes they played their best.
At the end of the game we all did cheer,
Tf was the finest game we played all year.
So that’s the story of how we won that day.
