Donegal Indians prevail 13-7 in tough gridiron performance
2 v ,
The Donegal Indians
conquered Manheim Cen-
tral 13-7 last Saturday.
The hard-fought contest
marked the undefeated In-
dians’ 3rd win this season.
Manheim Centrals’ Bar-
on's moved the ball well on
the ground, picking up 209
rushing yards to Donegal’s
38, and 16 first downs to
Donegal’s 7.
Donegal owed most of its
yardage to Kevin Bradley’s
throwing arm. The Indian
quarterback hurled the
football 13 times and hit
his target 9 times, for a
total of 120 passing yards.
The offensive line, led by
center Jeff Alexander, gave
Bradley the protection he
needed to complete those
passes.
Donegal’s defense per-
formed beautifully all
afternoon. Linebacker Mike
Carroll tallied 10 tackles
and 9 assists. Tackle Mike
Head coach Gayne Deshler tells quarterback Kevin
Bradley what to do next. Bradley completed 9 of 13
passes in the game, for a total of 120 yards.

the corner by inches, but scored a direct hit on the
Susquehanna Times photographer.
Leas made 9 tackles and
helped out in 9 more.
Donegal’s first scoring
drive began when Brian
Ney intercepted a Central
pass on the Donegal 21.
The Indians advanced
rapidly. ‘Scott Mowrer
hauled in a long bomb from
Bradley and picked up 34
yards. A 1S yard penalty
against the Barons, a 7
yard run by Al Newlin, and
a 16 yard pass to Bill
Gainer put DHS on the
scoreboard. Pete Splain
booted the extra point.
In the third period, the
Barons drove deep into In-
dian territory. They ended
up within spitting distance
of the goal line, with a first
down.
The Indian defense stop-
ped them. Greg Gallagher
executed a perfect tackle
that may have saved the
game for DHS.
Head coach, Gayne
Deshler said, ‘“‘If it had
been a bad tackle, that
guy's momentum might
just have taken them in
for a touchdown. Greg
stopped him cold.”
The Barons bounced off
Donegal’s defensive line as
if they were hitting a brick
wall. On their 4th down
attempt, the Baron with the
football found himself buri-
ed under Mike Carroll,
Marlin Emenheiser, and
Pete Splain.
Central finally scored
early in the 4th period, tie-
ing the score at 7-7.
The Donegal
to Hempfield. McCaskey
got the ball rolling with two
goals in the first quarter.
Mel Hay assisted Kris
McCue in scoring for the
Indians in the second
quarter.
McCaskey added three
more goals in that half.
McCue got his second goal
in the beginning of the
third quarter. Mark Weid-
man assisted. McCaskey
scored two more times to
end the game with a 2 to 7
score. The J.V. Team also
dropped its first game by a
close 2 to 0 margin.
Hempfield opened the
game on Thursday with two
goals in the first quarter.
In the second quarter Bjorn
Carlson, Hempfield’s
Swedish exchange student,
scored to widen the lead.
Hempfield’s Andi Malles
scored his second goal for
the Black Knights. The In-
dians, however, were un-
able to penetrate the in-
dominitable defense of
Hempfield. Hempfield also
defeated the Junior Varsity
Team by a very close score
of 2 to 1.
The Indians came back
quickly, picking up 33
yards on 4 passing plays.
Pete Splain ran from the
ten for the winning touch-
down.
The Donegal offense suf-
fered from the absense of
Darryl Houseal, who sat
out the game because of
injuries. Hopefully, Darryl
will be back in action when
Donegal takes on Solanco
next Saturday.

The Barons had 4 chances to drive a few yards across
the Donegal goal line. The Indian defense froze them in
their tracks. Photo shows a Baron quarterback sneak
