Repeat performance for girls?
The Donegal girls’ bas-
ketball team may be headed
for a repeat of last year’s
Lancaster-Lebanon League
Hempfield.
Betsey Germer goes up for the rebound against
championship—if Beth Kef-
fer stays healthy.
Until last Friday night,
the team looked invincible.
Then, in the second period
of a game with the
Hempfield Black Knights,
Keffer fell and injured her
knee. She had to sit on the
sidelines, helplessly watch-
ing, as her team’s com-
manding lead slowly melted
away. In the end, Hempfield
won, 45-44, in overtime.
The Indianettes’ team-
work centers around Keffer,
who controls the defensive
backboards, sets up fast
breaks, and keys the offense
from her position near the
basket.
Last year, with two big
forwards to assist her,
Keffer was less dominating
under the
keeping with her fashion
model looks, she was
perhaps a trifle too lady-like
when it came to scrambling
for rebounds.
This year, bigger, strong-
er, and carrying much more
responsiblity, Keffer acts as
if she owns the area under
the basket—and she does.
When she gets the ball
inside, she generally either
scores or sets up a score for
somebody else. When op-
ponents try to double-team
her, they provide an oppor-
tunity for the Indianettes’
excellent outside shooters to
score. And if the outside
shot misses, Beth Keffer is
there to. grab the rebound.
One Indianette shoeter,
Sherry Derr, is so accurate
that Keffer seldom has to
worry about a rebound: the
ball flies neatly through the
hoop. Derr, who played
guard last year, is also an
excellent ballhandler who
can drive to the basket for
an inside shot.
This year’s guards, Marty
Miller and Beth Gainer, are
also good outside shooters.
Miller is an impressive ball-
handler who could do more
scoring if her playmaking
boards. In
chores didn’t keep her so far
from the basket.
Forward Betsy Germer
seldom shoots, but can. And
she plays the kind of solid
defense that quietly wins
basketball games.
In theory, it's a well-
balanced team, and ought to
be able to win even without
Keffer’s help. But in
practice, nobody quite
knows what to do when
Keffer is not on the court.
This is particularly ap-
parent on offense. The
Indianettes’ standard offen-
sive plays are simple: feed
Keffer, feed Derr. Nobody
else has to work very hard at
getting open. The instinct of
the other three players is to
pass, not to-shoot.
Without Keffer, there is

Donegal’s coaches
offer fan directory
Now available for the
Donegal athletic fan is a
directory which provides
precise directions, approxi-
mate travel times, approxi-
mate mileages, and specific
field or court locations for
each opponent on the
Donegal sports’ schedule.
Also included in the di-
rectory is an area road map.
This ‘“‘Fan Plan” is being
offered to the public by the
Donegal Coaches’ Associa-

coaches whose express pur-
pose is to promote and.
develop a better athletic
program for athletes in the

DCA initiated the project for
a dual purpose: to provide
assistance for the Donegal
fan and to help fund its
annual scholarship pro-
gram.
The “Fan Plan’’ will be
available for a small dona-
tion at winter athletic
contests as well as from
DCA members. The DCA is
proud to offer this directory
to the loyal sports fans of the
