The residence of Mr. and Mrs. Bull was approximately 901 Second Street in an impressive home in an upscale neighborhood. The neighborhood has changed over the years.

Growing up in Pocomoke in the 1940's and 1950's I remember the home where the Bulls resided on the corner of Second Street and Dudley Avenue. My family lived on Dudley.  At that time the neighborhood in general was more "average" than upscale.

Pocomoke High's Awesome Lady Warriors!

 

(Salisbury Daily Times)

The MPSSAA's Class 1A Field Hockey State Championship is headed back home to Pocomoke City, as the Pocomoke Warriors won the state championship Saturday afternoon, their second in a row.

The Warriors clinched the back-to-back state championship with a 5-1 win over South Carroll at Stevenson University, dominating the second half en route to their win.

The game was tied 1-1 at half, with the Warriors' lone goal coming from Marli McDorman. But the second half was all Pocomoke, as they scored four goals unanswered, with two of them coming from McDorman to complete the hat trick. And Dakota Trader would put the finishing touches on their championship victory, adding two more goals of her own.

Along with the Warriors winning back-to-back state titles in 2021 and 2022, this is also the 21st state title in program history, continuing the Pocomoke field hockey dynasty. They rank second all-time in Maryland in total state titles, behind only Severna Park.

 (Curt Lippoldt points to the imposing Bethany United Methodist Church on Market Street in Pocomoke City.  Looking like a Greek or Roman temple, it is one building in town folks remember because of its size and design.  It was built in 1882 and survived several major fires in the community.)

Pocomoke Public Eye footnote: The church was destroyed by a fire in 2005. Pictured is the rebuilt church.
