Busch Boys
Soccer Cha
Both the boys and Xamax
weren't supposed to be in the
championship game, but strange
things happen when it comes to
sports as Tom Goetz and The
Busch Boys (5-3), the third place
team after regular season play,
shutout the likes of Cinderella Bill
Reader and his Xamax 2-0 in the
indoor soccer championship
game. Xamax at 1-6-1, was look
ing for their biggest upset of the
year as well as the overall title, but
it just wasn't meant to be. Out
played and outgunned both offen
sively and defensively, Xamax
never got it in gear as The Busch
Boys tickled the twine early in the
first half on Rich Tito's bullet to
the lower left hand comer. The
singleton gave Busch a 1-0 half
time lead that they would never re
linquish and it could have been
worse if not for the outstanding
play of the Xamax goaltender who
stopped numerous Busch at-
tempts.
Midway through the second
half Brie Weilminster on an assist
from Bill Brener, added some icy
ing to the cake when he drilled a
cannon like shot to the bottom
right comer underneath the out-
stretched arms of Xamax tender
Foul Shot
Title
Freshman Jeff Hall, a North
Penn hoop product edged Todd
Sounder for the 1989 foul shoot
ing tide last Wednesday evening
when he caressed the mesh with
27 scares out of thirty attempts.
After two rounds of ten shots
per round, Jeff and Todd had
identical 17/20 scores. In the final
round of five shots the sharp
shooters continued their scoring
ways hitting all five for a final 22/
25 total. At that point Jeff had hit
eleven consecutive shots, Todd
twelve, as they missed their 9th
and Bth shots respectively.
Another five shots were need
ed to break the tie. Todd hit the
first three, missed the fourth and
connected on the fifth and final for
a 26/30 score. The brazen Hall
stepped up to the line and hit twine
on all five making it sixteen
straight to capture the title with a
final 27/30 score. Fran Gortvan
took third place honors with a 20/
25 score.
Win Indoor
mpionship
for a 2-0 lead. This second goal
seemed to fire-up Goetz and Co.
who by now, began to smell victo
ry. Busch continued to put pres
sure on Xamax missing plenty of
opportunities to put the game out
of reach. Between the winners
crease stood all-league goalie Tom
Goetz, who recorded his first
shutout of the year and a big one at
that. Most of Xamax’s shots went
wide and wild but any that did find
the mark the stocky goetz brushed
aside like a person shooing away a
fly. Xamax never did play the
Contender and Cinderella, but if
Xamax was really Cinderella, then
surely Goetz and The Busch Boys
were the wicked witch-
es... Congratulations to the 1989
indoor soccer champions Eric
Weilminster, Tom Goetz, Rich
Tito, Mark Wagner, Pat McVenry,
Shawn Connington, Danny His
char, Deith Force, and Charlie
Darder.
Jalapenos Win Co-Ed
Volleyball Title
Mike Krott and Jalepenos con
tinued their winning ways as they
thrashed the crew and some girls
15-1,15-4 and collared the 89 Co-
Ed Volleyball Gold. Coming into
the title game at 7-1, the odds on
favorite Jalepenos twice before, in
regular season play, spanked Dave
Jankowskis' Girls in easy fash
ion.
Behind the bullet -like serves
of Krott, Steve Barnhart and Scott
Andre, and the bumping and net
play of champions Bonny Seldom
ridge, Jen Foust, Shawn Kubick
and Scott Erdenberger, the Jalepe
nos were taking no prisoners in
the *B9 massacre as they spiked
and dinked their way to a 10-0
lead in game one. By the time
Jankowski's Crew could retaliate,
game one was over and in the
record books. Game two proved
to be no different. Showing no
mercy, Krott's spikers continued
their fast pace and went for the ju
gular as they raced to a comforta
ble second set lead, then toyed
with there opponent before breez
ing in for the title. Jankowski and
Co. never knew what hit them.
The one time top ranked club in
the league who won four straight
before visiting the losing column,
could only muster up a total of five
points, well below their capabili
ties. If every dog has his day,
then monday evening belonged to
the JALEPENOS.

2-Man
out Results
Behind the consistent shooting
of Todd Sounders and a comeback
second round from Charlie Mulli
gan, the total 24 points by the tall
er duo was just enough as they
edged the Caccese Lion Sharp
Shooters of Jeff Hall and Chris
Bigger by one 24/23 to capture the
1989 2-man shootout last week.
Sounders started the first round
with 12-points while partner Mul
ligan could only find the range for
six, but it was still good enough
for the lead as Hall/Bigger and
Pless/Renninger tied at second
with 13-points. Hall came alive in
round two hitting for 13-points(the
most points scored by anyone for
a single round), after hitting a
mere three in the initial round. But
while Hall caught fire, Bigger
went cold as he could only muster
up a lonely seven for a final 23 to
tal. The opposite was true for the
89 champions as Sounder hit on
another twelve setting up the hero
ics for Big Charlie. Chucks first
two shots caught all net and the
stage was set. With just seconds
remaining and the score tied, Mul
ligan's last shot was on the way as
the buzzer sounded and like his
first two shots, it caught all net for
the win. Six other teams attempt
ed to bypass the leaders but the
closest anyone could get were the
14-points by third place finishers
Chris Fox and Mark Usarzewicz.
Three Amigos
Win 3 on 3
Jerry Ross and his Three Ami
gos captured the 89 3 on 3 crown
m high fashion as they destroyed
the likes of Brad Watkins and
Knobby 21-10. The pre-season
underdog Amigos suprised every
one when they stole the league title
with a 9-3 record while the fa
vored Knobby faultered along the
way for a second place finish at 7-
5 •
Perhaps the Amigos peaked at
the right time. The semi-finals
were a piece of cake for the Gun
ners who were caressing the mesh
from uptown, downtown and all
around as they disposed of Greg
Swisher and Air Express in two
straight. On the flip side of the
coin Knobby continued to have
late season heartaches and just
barely squeezed by Greg Fried
man's Untouchables in three
games.
The championship match was
a mismatch from start to finish.
The Amigos were still flying high
from last weeks semi fiasco and

Bandits Slay
F.O.S. in 5-Setter
With a little bump, plenty of
thump and an enormous amount
of teamwork, Jim Dunkleberger
and the Bandits defeated the ikes
opf Trevor Harrison and his pesty
F.O.S. 15-7, 16-14, 12-15,11-15
15-12 for the 1989 spring 3 on 3
Volleyball Championship. Unlike
a varsity barnburner, F.O.S. who
annihilated the Tigers... (11-1,
11-0) in semi final play couldn't
stand the heat in the intramural
barnburner that went right down
to the wire. What should have
been a piece of cake for the Ban
dits who led two sets to love
turned into a marathon that lasted
the better part of two hours. The
bandits, who just did get into final
action play when they jumped the
Young Guns of Mike Barley 11-9,
11-9 came out blazing with both
guns to win the early first set. Up
by as many as five points in the
second set, Dunkleberger's spik
ers took a short nap and by the
time they awoke F.O.S. was back
in the thick of the race. The ser
vice exchanged hands a few times
before the Bandits eeked out a 16-
14 win for the 2-0 lead. Not one
cry uncle although the fat lady was
in the wings hummin', F.O.S. re
grouped and used the dink to per
fection catching the Bandits with
their masks down countless times
for the easy point as they took the
next two sets to even out the
match at 2 apiece
The final set had the standing
room crowd only chewing on their
nails as both clubs made outstand
ing bumps, sets and powerful fin
ishing spikes. The score see
sawed throughout the set.
Once again as in past events,
when the going got tough, the
touch got going and the Bandits,
(Jim Dunkleberger, Ben Rice and
Steve Offner) with the score at 11
all made their final thrust scoring
five of the final six points for the
overall championship.
came into the title game with both
guns blazing, hitting an amazing
65% from the field. Off to a quick
start, the Amigos took a com-
manding 10-2 lead and had little
trouble the rest of the way. Knob
by , not one to call it quits, knew
it wasn't over until the fat lady
sings, but she could be heard
hummin' in the wings as they tried
to rally back for the title. The
closest they would get was 15-8
as the hot hands of Ben Rice,
Chris Fox and Tim Callarelli con
tinued their torrid scoring pace and
in the process burned the Penn
State cords for the eventual 21-10
championship.
