    The Highacres Collegian
Intramural Sports Three on Three
Volleyball Tournament
Jason Miller, Allen Nelson
and Jerry Kilgore: Team Kix,
did just that to their opponents
as they breezed into the
championship game with
straight set wins over Derrick
Havisrlak’s Side Out and Angi
Price’s Three Short People,
giving them the much wanted
re-match with Kix for the
overall championship. On the
winning side in second round
play, Kix toyed with the Three
Short People using the short
scrimmage as practice for the
championship. Toa much bump
and dump for the Short People
as Miller, Nelson, and Kilgore
took turns setting and sending
bullet like shots for winners as
well as quality jump serves that
were close to impossible to
return.
The re-match between Kix and
Side Out for the Penn State
Gold was as hot as hot can get.
Both sides put on a volleyball
Intramural Bowling
The fall intramural
two-person bowling league got
underway October 26 with eight
teams looking to strike some
Penn State Hazleton gold. The
pre-season picks are as follows:
favored to go all the way are
"The Strike Outs", Rich Hause
and Pat Edmonds, and
Cinderella bowlers Mickey and
Minnie, Jason Miller and Angi
Price. The league’s dark horse
is the team called, "Fortune
Cookies" comprised of Chick
Lazason and Scott Lieberman.
Mark Zappe and Misty Flock,
who call themselves, "10 Pin"
clinic with digs, bumps, saves
and spikes never before seen in
Intramural Volleyball play.
Tourney favorite Side Out held
a slim lead in the first two sets
faltering while losing the first
and stealing the second on Kix
miscues. With the third and
final set and no tomorrow in
sight, the going got tough and
the tough Kix got going. Super
sets all by Kilgore made Canon
spikes by Miller and Nelson
look like a piece of cake. Three
quick points by Side Out made
things look interesting and
lifted the score to 13-10, but
the comeback try fell short and
that would be as close as Side
Out would get. Smelling
victory and going for the
jugular, two final patented
set/spikes from Kix double
Kilgore and Miller sent Side
Out packing their bags while
Kix took home the Penn State
gold.
are expected to be contenders,
followed by Brady Liechty and
Mike Zanette whose team is
called the Rolling Bones. The
league surprise is expected to be
the duo of Jim Bonceek and Jim
Sheema who together are called
the "Infinites". The leagues’s
second surprise called "S&S
Bowling Factory" is the pair of
JOby Hilliker and Dper Kandar.
The post season tournament will
be held during the week of
December first. Finally, the
other team known as "The
Other Team", Russ Owens and
Bill Lucas, also known in the
league as the "who are they?"
team may very well prove to be
the league spoilers.

Zoo-Crew Trips
Blazers 70-66
The Zoo-Crew, led by
Bobby Pugh’s 22 points, tripped
the upset-minded Blazers of Jim
Warrington, 70-66, and with the
win, took home the "A" 5 on 5
hoop title. If the Blazers were
Cinderella, then definitely the
Zoo-Crew were the the wicked
witches, who avenged an
over-time 1 point loss in regular
season play, the only blemish
on their 9-1 record. The Blazers
also finished the ’92 campaign
at the 9-1 mark.
Close to five minutes went
by before the Zoo-Crew
carressed the mesh with the first
points of the evening. The Crew
would lead the entire evening,
with single digits through the
first quarter then running the
score up to a baker’s dozen
after intermission. Half-time
had The Crew leading 40-34.
At the 9:45 mark of the second
half, and with the Zoo-Crew
ahead by 13, all was just about
lost for the Blazers. With the
Blazers down but not quite out,
the Zoo just could not
administer the knock-out punch.
This allowed the Blazers to
re-gain their composer with
three uncontested scores by
Surmick, Warrington and
Fendrick. Suddenly, there was a
game , as the Zoo-Crew’s lead
was cut to a mere six points. In
the last minutes of play, a
3-point bomb by former H.H.S.
star, Warrington, tied the game
for the first time since the
opening whistle. Both clubs
exchanged 2-hoops apiece to
make the score 66-all. With 32
ticks left on the clock, and the
Blazers in possession of the
ball with a chance to take the
lead, a quick shot from
Fendrick just tipped the orange
steel and the Crew took the
rebound all the way for a 68-66
lead. Two shots from the
charity stripe, by Schaeffer, with
:03 remaining, sealed the four
point Zoo-Crew victory. Joe
Krevanis netted 15 for the
winners, while Moisey and
Scheffer adding 14 and 13
respectively. Four Blazers hit
double digits in a losing cause
with Warrington leading the
way with 17. Surmich,
Fendrick, and Jason Molri
rounded out the four with 16,
14, and 10 each.
Foil 5 on 5 Hoops
Ma£a claims "B" championship -
Zoocrew rolls to "A" title
Ed Chaescattie and Mafia
defeated the likes of Brian
Seiwell and his Gymrats, 64-58
to win the fall "B" hoop 5 on 5
championship. Mafia took the
lead from the opening tap and
never looked back. The bad
boys of Chascattie also held a
slim halftime advantage of
27-21. Midway through the
second half, the Mafia ran
their lead to 12 Points. Not
ones to die quickly, three quick
3-pointers put the Gymrats
back in contention. But, time
was their enemy and the
mini-comeback was too little,
too late as the score see-sawed
until the final buzzer.
Both clubs entered the
championship with 5-5 records
with the Gymrats having
already beat Mafia during
regular season play. The
evening before saw the
Gymrats pitted against Mike
O’Donnell and The Rock
Rolling, while Mafia breezed
by Tony Weisser and Absolut.
All-Everything, Scott Alansky,
took scoring honors for the
winners with 16 points. Brian
Legutko added 13 more points,
while John Connely added 12.
Gymrat All-Im Brian Seiwell
was high man for the evening
with 21 biggies, nine of which
coming via 3-pointers from
downtown. Brian Crosby
added another 16 and Aaron
Verenda 13, in a losing effort.
The Gymrats led in 3-pointers,
8-3, with Crosby adding four
for the losers and Rusty Rang
rings tops for the winners with
two.
