Donegal error.

his hitting spree, with three
hits at four times at bat.

‘Some super
performances’
from track
Coach Rudy Milovanovic
said that his Donegal track
team turned in ‘‘some super
performances’’ last week.
Steve Kunkle triple jump-
ed 42 feet 10% inches at the
Manheim Relays on Satur-
day, one-quarter inch short
of the DHS record. Steve is a
sophomore with two more
years to continue leaping
for DHS.
Milovanovic was also
proud of the 400 meter relay
team, which placed second
in the Manheim Relays
(Steve Meszaros, Frank
Brommer, Steve Hecker,
Vince Curry).
On Monday the Indians
took Lampeter-Strasburg,
90-60. Steve Meszaros,
running 100 meters for the
second time in his life, did it
in 11.5 seconds.
Milovanovic says the
team overall is coming back,
recovering from numerous
injuries. He feels the team
will be in good shape for the
Lebanon-Lancaster all-
league meet this coming
Saturday at Millersville.

Manheim Central in softball action last week.
Shank, ‘Softball team needs hustle ’
The girls’ softball team
lost two games last week.
They only had seven hits
total against Elizabethtown
and Manheim Central.
‘“We played another ter-
rible game,”’ said Coach
Cliff Shank. ‘“‘It was an off
day. There’s not much more
to say.” The Indians only
connected for four hits
against E-town.
They only had three hits
against Manheim Central’s
just spectacular throws. Had
we placed first and third in
this event the meet would
have been tied. But Sherri
and Coleen came through!’
Beth Gainer was her
usual self winning both the
1600 and 3200 meter runs.
‘“She’s one of my Bionic
women,’’ laughed Porster.
Beth is only a junior and will
be back to help the team
next year.
Betsy Marley, a fresh-
man, qualified for districts
by winning the 100 meter
dash in 12.9 seconds.!
Terri Meszaros won the!
100 meter hurdles and
Patty Fready won the
800 meter run. Sherri
Kinsey, another of Portser’s
Bionic women, won the shot
put in addition to the
javelin. :
‘Patty Fready and Betsy
Marley are my other Bionic
women. They are just
fantastic.”
The girls defeated Norleb-
co last Thursday 83 to 49.

pitcher, the best in the
league, according to Shank.
The girls had a better
game Monday night against
Norlebco, losing 6 to 8, with
8 hits.
The team was leading, 6
to 3, going into the sixth
inning when they gave up 4
runs.
‘‘It was a lack of hustle,”’
said Shank. ‘“‘A little more
effort could have, and
should have, won the game.
I have not seen the spark
in the girls’ playing yet this
year.’’
Joann Storm went 2 for 3
against Norlebco, scoring 2
runs.

this week, traveling to
Lebanon Tuesday, Cone-
