Plague of errors strikes
DHS in game last week
A plague of errors
crippled Donegal’s offense
last weekend, allowing per-
ennial loser Lebanon Cath-
olic to come within a point of
beating a basically superior
Indian football team.
Lebanon Catholic, show-
ing its usual bad form,
fumbled the kickoff—but
the Indians, who recovered,
fumbled the ball right back,
two plays later. Lebanon
Catholic fumbled again.
Then Donegal fumbled.
All told, Donegal fumbled
8 times, and Lebanon Cath-
olic fumbled S times. The
game was also marred by
interceptions, misplays in
the backfield, dropped
passes, etcetera.
The comedy of fumbles
skewed the relationship
between the statistics and
the scoreboard. Donegal
consistently outplayed their
opponents, tallying 14 first
downs to Lebanon Catholic’s
8, and 223 rushing yards to
their 26. However, the Leb-
anon Catholic team, on a
couple of big pass plays,
managed to score a touch-
down in the first period.
Although they failed to
make the conversion, Leba-
non Catholic suddenly led
6-0. It was the first time this
year that Lebanon Catholic
had led against any oppon-
ent, and the happy under-
dogs began playing the best
football of their careers.
Mistakes continued to
plague the Indian offense.
Frank Brommer, Donegal’s
star wide receiver, dropped
a pass in the end zone,
spoiling a 2nd-quarter
opportunity to even the
score. It wasn’t until the 4th
period that the Indians put
together their first scoring
drive, which ended when
Leonard Mummau plunged
across the goal line from 3
yards out.
Brommer then redeemed
himself by booting the
game-winning point after
touchdown, and the Indians
left the field with a less-
than-spectacular 7-6 victory.
One bright spot was the
Donegal defense, which
played consistently and
well. Led by Darin Kolp,
who made S tackles and 8
assists, the defense shut
down Lebanon Catholic’s
running game almost com-
pletely. Leonard Mummau,
who made 3 tackles and 4
assists, and broke up two
pass plays by sacking enemy
quarterback Steve Fortna,
was another defensive
leader.
Mummau also sparked
the offense with 104 rushing
yards (on 18 carries). Steve
Meszaros, who tallied 84
yards in 16 carries, was
another offensive spark-
plug.
Despite some outstanding
individual efforts, the In-
dians clearly suffered from
the effects of an overall jinx.
The fans did not see the sort
of football which Donegal
usually plays, as Cocalico
will probably discover, to
their dismay, when they
challenge the Indians at
next week’s homecoming
game.
The game is expected to
be a hard-fought, exciting
contest. And, if their play:
reflects their ability, the
Indians are expected to win,
by a slim margin.
