Page 12—SUSQUEHANNA TIMES Homecoming festivities at Donegal High School The big homecoming crowd was delighted with Norlebco’s excellent band and accomodating football Jennifer Mylin, runner-up in the Homecoming Queen contest at Donegal High School. “Donegal will win,” says Doktor Predicto Dr. Predicto had a mear- perfect record last week, calling only the McCaskey/ Manheim Township game incorrectly. Predicto looks ahead to this week’s action, and predicts a ‘‘Squeaker’’ for Donegal against Cocalico, with the Indians coming out the 20-19 victors. In other games this week, Predicto forecasts the fol- lowing: SECTION Cedar Crest over McCaskey Gov. Miff. over Muhlen. Wilson over Hempfield Lebanon over Lanc. Cath. Manheim Twp. over CV ; SECTION II Columbia over Ephrata Central over Solanco Warwick over PM SECTION II Donegal over Cocalico L-S over Norlebco A-C over Leb. Cath. Elco over Garden Spot Predicto calls the match- up between Elco and Garden Spot the ‘‘game of the year.” team, which allowed itself to be overrun 27-8 by the hometown Donegal Indians, last Friday. Donegal’s well-balanced offense scored 20 points by the end of the first half, while the defense held the invading Vikings scoreless until the final moments of the game. The entire Indian offen- sive backfield looked good. Rick Funk carried the ball 12 times and gained 92 yards. Steve Bowman, with six carries, gained 77 yards, averaging one first down per carry. Ron Kennedy, with seven carries, racked up 63 yards. And quarterback Darryl Risbert threw the ball six times, completed four passes (one a touchdown) for 39 yards, and was not intercepted. Scott Snyder led the defense with six solo tackles and a blocked punt that set up the Indians’ second touchdown. He also tackled the Viking quarterback on two attempted pass plays, and assisted in four more tackles. Jeff Duke had nine tackles and four assists, and Ron Kennedy intercepted a pass. Indian touchdowns were scored by Funk, Kennedy, Bowman and Darrin Kolp. Snyder kicked three extra points. The Indians are now one victory away from the sixth winning season in the history of the school (Done- gal has fielded football teams for 27 years, but has had only five winning seasons, most of them quite recently). The Indians take on Cocalico next week, and are favored to win. The game will, however, be much tougher than last week’s contest with Norlebco. Co- calico has a strong offense led by quarterback Bruce Wolf, one of the best passes in the league. The team has lost most of its games because of poor defense. October 29, 1980 Sherry Suter, head majorette and feature twirler of the Donegal Band, entertains the Homecoming game crowd. Jeff Duke is ‘Irresistible’ Jeff Duke, son of Mr. and Mrs. Mount Jere Duke, R.D. Joy, was named “Mr. Irresistible’’ during the week of Homecoming activities at the Donegal High School. The contest was open to all senior boys. The con- testants had to talk Home- coming Queen candidates into presenting him a pin. The smooth-talking Jeff walked away with five pins and the ““Mr. Irresistible” title. The above float was part of the Marietta Jaycee parade held last Monday night. Winners in the parade follow.
