Page 12—-SUSQUEHANNA TIMES Donegal baseball team boasts strong pitching Coach Al Brooks of Donegal High School’s baseball team characterizes his team as ‘‘young,”’ but possessing ‘‘excellent pitch- ing.” “Pitching is our strength,’’ he says. In addition to Mitch Johnson, who has been getting a lot of attention from big league scouts, Donegal also has on its pitching staff: Monte Mau- rer, a senior; Bill Gutshall, another senior; and Steve Neal, a junior—all good pitchers. real The big question this year, according to Coach Brooks, ‘‘is whether we can hit well enough to back up our pitching.” Eight starters were lost by graduation from last year’s team. The starting third base- man is a 9th grader, Darrel ‘Largest team ever Risberg. Other starters are: Steve Neal at shortstop, when he is not pitching; Mike Frey, a 10th grader, at 2nd base; Jeff Duke, an 11th grader, or Mitch Johnson, when not pitching, at 1st base; one of two 11th graders as catcher, Daren Kulp or Phil Spickler; Steve Drace, senior, in left field; Monte Maurer or Joe Althoff in centerfield; and either Spickler or Dave Eichler in right field. This Tuesday the Indians play Elizabethtown, last year’s champs and this year’s favored team in the section. Thursday Donegal takes on Warwick. Both games will be played here starting at 4 p.m. According to Coach: Brooks’ description of his team, both games should be interesting, especially if Donegal’s young wielders of the bats make them connect. says track coach Rudolf Milovanovic, boys’ track coach at Donegal High School, says, ‘‘We have the largest track team ever, so far as numbers. There are lots of young people, to make up for a lot of people we lost from last year’s team. Most of the people doing the scoring are underclassmen. We're re- building, and some of the results so far are good.” Reuben Stoutzenberger is a verstile performer. He hurls the javelin, leaps the high jump, and runs 800, 1600, or 3200 meters (only one of the races per day, of course). Vince Curry is doing a good job in the 100, 200, or Coach Curry 400 meters races. Milovanovic says “takes his running seriously and works hard.” Joe Palmer is doing well in the 1600 meters. So is Steve Kunkle, who also high jumps. Palmer and Kunkle are both sophomores. Al Bundy, a senior, runs the 100 and 200 meters, but his specialty is the triple jump. Last year he equalled Marty Heisey’s long-stand- ing record in the 3-time jump. This year Bundy has triple leaped 42 feet, S inches. Tuesday the Indians race Warwick here, and Thurs- day go to Garden Spot. Both meets start around 4 p.m. Coach Milovanovic has high hopes that several individuals will be going to ‘“‘states’’ this year. Track coach has girls ‘thinking like winners’ Chuck Portser, coach of the girls’ track team at Donegal High School, is working on a program to get the girls to ‘“‘think like winners, like champs.” He has a very young but very talented team, and they are all working hard. “It’s only a matter of time,’’ says Portser, ‘‘until the hard work pays off.”’ The up-beat mood of the team was best summarized by Michele Donovan, who said, ‘‘l like running the - mile.” Coach Portser would like ‘““to have more numbers,” that is, more girls out for the team. (So, if you are a female student at DHS and were thinking about going out for track—why don’t you do it?) Coach Portser sees great hope for the future in his “Kiddie Corps,’”” made up of 9th and 10th graders: Betsy Marley, Terri Meszar- os, Kathy Forker, Michele Donovan, Karen Mummau, Robin Wittel, Kyra Vander- grift, Mary Ruhl, Lisa Hoffman. They are all ‘‘very good,’’ says Coach Portser. Then there are the outstanding juniors: Beth Gainer, distance runner; Patty Fready, middle dist- ances; Laureen Donovan, [continued on page 6] Ho This is a view of the Marietta Avenue bridge from the railroad track below. The one sidewalk on the PennDOT has announced plans for the rebuilding of a large portion of Mount Joy’s Marietta Avenue. The street will be reconstructed from Main Street to New Haven Street. The road will be resurfaced to School Lane. At a meeting last Wed- nesday night, residents were told that PennDOT would like to replace all of the curbing along the rebuilt street. It was explained that it would cost less for a contractor to replace large stretches of curbing and sidewalk than for spot replacement to be done. 75 percent of the project is being funded by the Federal Highway Administration, and the curbing and side- April 9, 1980 bridge will be eliminated, and the bridge deck will be widened to correspond to the street width. walk replacement would be included in this. This means property owners would pay 25 percent of the curbing cost. It has been estimated that a 40-foot stretch of sidewalk and curbing would cost each owner $288. During the street rebuild- ing, PennDOT also plans to widen and replace the deck » Plans made to rebuild Marietta Avenue of the railroad bridge on Marietta Avenue. The western sidewalk on the bridge would be elimi- nated so the deck would be the same width as the street. Residents were told that a detour which could last six months will be set up. The bridge is expected to be closed for two months. Fast 5 BRyBUR. Vg FOU GRss LR RIws wnt Tron wad thongs Vinee Above is a photograph of an 1864 map of Mount Joy.
