a A, NRE Sic di 1 emamciion I A Ue PAGE8 THE POST SPO RTS Sunday, April 30, 2006 On track to have fun, fellowship Church youth group holds a night of Grand Prix racing Excitement filled the great room at Grace Community Church recently as the Awana Club held its annual Grand Prix. Competitors and their families cheered as cars raced down the four-lane, 27-foot Grand Prix track to the finish line. Boys and girls from the Awana Club, Awana Club leaders-in- training, and adults participa- ted in three different divisions and two categories. The Awana Club members, ranging from kindergarten through sixth grade, were given trophies for the speed category. Shayla Stuart took first place, Josh Chamberlain finished second and Nathan Scheuermann cap- tured third. In the design cate- gory, trophies were presented to Caitlin Cameron, first place; Andre Scheuermann, second place; and Sterling Barnes, third place. In the leader-in-training divi- sion, ribbons were presented in the speed category to James Sutton, first place; David Mar- tindale, second place; and Beth Martindale, third place. In de- sign, the ribbons went to Beth Martindale, first place; David Martindale, second place; and James Sutton, third place. Adults were given an opportu- nity to design a car for the race. They were judged only in the speed category. The winners in the adult division were Chris Pe- terson, first place; Randy Cool- baugh, second place; and Wayne Sutton, third place.

MIDTERMS Continued from Page 7 says it’s going to take more than the Slippery Rock University- bound Horvath to wina WVC and District 2 Class 2A champion- ships. “It’s ridiculous to expect her to throw a no-hitter every game,” said Stack, whose team plays its regular season finale against Dal- las. “As the season goes on and we play the better teams, they're going to hit the ball. Our defense needs to be ready. I've been ex- plaining to the girls about how important seeding is. We need to be the number one or two seed in the (district) playoffs. We cannot lose another game for that to hap- pen. Dallas and Lakeland both have very good teams and re- cords.” The Dallas baseball team finds itself in the exact same position it was a year ago, with a 5-2 record. But this year’s team has taken a different path. Last year’s squad lost its first two games before winning five consecutive games, while this year’s team won five in a row before losing its last two. “There’s no question Dallas has struggled defensively in the last couple of years,” said head coach Ken Kashatus. “But up to the Lehman game (when the Mounts committed nine errors), I thought we were playing better this year. Last year, we gave up 35 home runs in league and playoff games. This year we haven’t giv- en up double figures in home runs.” Despite being in a first-place tie with Bishop Hoban, the Dallas coach says his team isn’t looking down the road. “We're not trying to win the di- vision, we're trying to beat Nanti- coke,” said Kashatus, whose team was preparing to play the Trojans at press time. The thing about this division is that every game is a winnable game. If you play well, you can win.” The Dallas girls soccer team has been playing well, despite not having the services of all-star Me- lissa Gorski for seven of its 10 games. The Mountaineers are two goals away from being unde- feated. “Bishop Hoban and Coughlin have good teams, there’s no doubt about it,” said head coach Chris Scharff, whose team lost to Hoban, 1-0, and tied Coughlin. “But with a few breaks, we could easily be 10-0. Our confidence is high. We have an aura that when we take the field we can play with anyone.” Like his coaching counter- FOR THE POST/CHARLOTTE BARTIZEK Dave Harding of Dallas hits the ball during a game against rival Lake-Lehman.
