Page 16—SUSQUEHANNA TIMES Basketball progress Last week the Donegal boys basketball team won one and lost one. They lost to Warwick 59-64 but won from Solanco, 42-41. Going into the game, Solanco had been undefeat- ed, 5-0 in games. Both Solanco and Warwick were considered strong teams in their section. So, Donegal coach Freund was pleased with his team’s performance in both games. He thought the Indians played a good game, although they lost to Warwick. The Indians, he thought, were ‘‘fairly well controlled.” He thought that the game with Warwick was the Indians’ best game up to then. In the Solanco game, Solanco took an early lead. They were eleven points ahead at one point in the first half. That lead was cut to 4 points at half-time. In the third quarter Solanco was ahead by as much as 8 points. ““For some reason,’’ said coach Freund, ‘‘they went to a four-corner delay offense, and we gradually came back in the fourth quarter. “With a minute to go in the game, Mike Frey stole the ball, missed his shot, but Mitch Johnson tapped it in, giving the Indians a one-point lead. The Indians then man- aged to hang onto the ball, until travelling was called on Mitch Johnson. Solanco got the ball with 11 seconds to go. The Indians managed to keep the ball away from the Solanco basket. Finally, thev made a desperation shot that was wide— and the game was over. Coach Freund feels that the team is constantly improving, as he knew it would. Earlier, he had predicted that the team was going to surprise some opponents before the end of the season. This week they play their first league game against Lampeter-Strasburg on Tuesday at Lampeter. Fri- day they play Norlebco here, the J-Cs’ game starting at 6:30 and the varsity at 8. Sharon Hershey drives under the boards. Hershey’s quick inside moves, which leave opponents staring in flat-footed wonder as the ball swishes through the basket, add a lot to the Indian offense.

DHS girls basketball team crushes two more; next: E-town, Columbia The girls basketball team of Donegal High School continued on its seemingly invincible way last week by first subduing Annville-Cle- ona, 92-25 (!), and then teaching a basketball lesson to Cedar Crest (considered a strong team) 67-29. Coach Earhart said that the defense was ‘‘effect- ive.”” Defense, he says, is the key to offense. The Weidman elected vice-president Jere Duke was elected president at the Dec. 6th meeting of the Donegal School Board. Elected vice- president at this reorganiza- tional meeting was John Weidman. Dale Arnold, outgoing board president, thanked the board, saying‘‘it has been a pleasure to know that you had confidence in me for the past seven years.”’ Mr. Arnold will remain as a member of the board. Ron Melleby, newly elect- ed board member, was Wrestlers win, lose; need to fill 98-1b. spot Last week the Donegal wrestling team beat Cones- toga Valley, 29-27 but lost to Wilson 27-32. Coach Gene Funk was satisfied with the team effort in both meets. He said the team is seriously handicapped, however, by lacking anyone to wrestle at 98 pounds. Duane Musser, who has been wrestling at 105 pounds is trying to get down to the lighter weight. The loss to Wilson might not have occurred with a representative in the light- est weight; 6 points are forfeited by having the spot unoccupied. This week Donegal has two meets at home. They meet Solanco on Tuesday and on Saturday have their first league opposition with Lancaster Catholic. The J-vs take to the mat at 6:30, and the varsity at 8. Coach Funk says that Lancaster Catholic is a challenge every year. He would like to see a lot of people attend every match. He said, ‘“We need the support. The fellows work hard all week and would like to show people what they can do.”’ administered the oath of office, along with Mr. Arnold, Dr. Robert Eshle- man and Mrs. Patricia Eicherly. Mrs. Eicherly was elected to a two year term, and the other three were elected to four year terms. In further reorganization, Donald Kugle and Mr. Arnold were selected as representative and alternate to the Lancaster County Vo-Tech Joint Operating Committe for 1980. Mr. Kugle has been quite active in the committee since its formation. Ragnar Hallgren, district superintendent, re- ferred to him as ‘Mr. Vo-tech”’. Mrs. Eicherly was once again selected as the board representative to the Lan- caster County Wage Tax Collection Bureau Board for the up-coming year. Mr. Duke will continue as the alternate. Selected to represent Donegal on the PSBA Legislative Committee for 1980 were Dr. Eshleman and Mr. Weidman. The remaining Board Committee assignments will be announced by Mr. Duke at the January meeting. Under personnel business Mrs. Joanne K. Fry, R.D.1, Mount Joy, will serve as a full-time substitute for Mrs. Overlander, teaching fourth grade at Riverview. Mrs. Overlander will be on maternity leave for several months. Mrs. Fry is a graduate of PA State University and State College High School. She has completed graduate work at Shippensburg State College and has taught at Cocalico and Greencastle Antrim School District. Mrs. Darlene K. Williams will serve as a teacher- playground aide at May- town, replacing Mrs. Debra Sumpman who was trans- ferred to Seiler. Mr. Asplin submitted his resignation as girls’ track coach. He plans to use the time to pursue graduate studies, become more active in industrial arts profession- al organization of Lancaster County, and to spend more time with his family. A track coach replacement will be sought immediately. Coaches for next fall's sports will be: Miss Etsell, girls tennis; Mrs. Zangari, Hockey; Mr. Deshler, Foot- ball; and Mr. Thome, Soccer. The board received a letter from Mr. and Mrs. Luke Brubaker requesting a ball machine for the tennis team.

The Indian defense was especially effective against Val Warner, Cedar Crest’s ace, who was well contain- ed. Cedar Crest used a full court press, for which Donegal was well prepared. Cedar Crest was forced to abandon their preferred strategy in the first quarter. Coach Earhart was pleas- ed with all his team’s playing last week. The passing was good, hitting the open person. ‘‘There was good ball and people movement,” he said. Tuesday the girls of Elizabethtown have the misfortune to meet the girls from Donegal.
