The Apple Tournament began in 1973 in honor of Constance Applebee's 100th Birthday. Ms. Applebee, a native of England, introduced the game of field hockey to the United States in 1901. The late Bunny Daughtery, former SHA coach, athletic director and friend, founded the tournament at Sacred Heart Academy in 1973.
