Marietta girls win Softball tournament results in 1st place for Marietta, 3rd for Mount Joy in field of 10 teams Marietta girls smashed their way to victory last Sunday night at Memorial Park as they overcame Middletown’s Rescue soft- ball team 17-3 to win the Ist place trophy in the annual Marietta Youth Ath- letic Association tourna- ment. Mount Joy’s team came in 3rd after Middletown. Both Holly Baker and ‘“‘Butch’’ Kolp blasted homers over the heads of the helpless Rescue out- fielders, driving in the runs. Kolp hit her home run into the tennis courts, the first time this ever was done, according to the announcer (her mother). Marietta defeated Rescue 9-6 in an earlier game. In the last game, at 11:00, the Middletown players didn’t stand a chance as Marietta out-fielded, out-hit, and out-threw them. Other teams that partici- pated in the tournament are: Chapman’s, Marietta Congregational, Lamp Post, Fishbowls, Maytown, Farm Diner, and National Standard. Marietta’s team is com- posed of ‘‘Butch’’ Kolp, Kathy Lewis, Norma Heisey, Raeann Parker, Loris Raber, Sharon Bryant; Grace Raber, Barb Voight, Lolly Baker, Peg Sweigart, Holly Baker, and coaches Winnie Bensinger and Harry Hoover.

Roaten and Frey are stars of Basketball Camp Due to a temporary increase in the already high level of confusion in our office, we are just getting around to publishing the names of local award winners at the Donegal boys’ basketball camp. (We still don’t have results for the girls). Judging by their per- formance this summer, both the boys’ and girls’ teams should be making plenty of news this winter. Tim Roaten was the Most Valuable Camper. He naturally made the all-star team, along with teammates Craig Zink and Randy Derr. The threesome won the three-on-three competition. Two of them (sorry, we don’t know which two) won the two-on- two contest, and Tim won the one-on-one. In the junior high div- ision, Mike Frey won the Mr. Defense award.
