THE CINCINNATI ENQUIRER Sunday, October 6, 19S5 Volleyball Oak Hills ji 1 1 TZyZC CEOS) Spikes Mercy BY J.P. LYONS The Cincinnati Enquirer Oak Hills' co-captain Missy Johnson didn't play her best volleyball game against Mother of Mercy Saturday night, but she didn't have to. Her presence on the court was enough to inspire her teammates. Johnson, despite having a stomach virus, contributed to Oak Hills come-from-behind victory over Mercy as the Highlanders rallied to defeat host Mercy, 9-15, 15-7 and 15-4. Oak Hills, ranked No.

2 in the city, is undefeated at 17-0 and Mercy, No. 3 in the city, is 13-2. "Missy has been sick all week," Oak Hills' coach Anne Hermann said afterward.

MOTORS RMtTS DIVISION rYrtfrT BY JOHN FAY The Cincinnati Enquirer Elder, the city's top-ranked cross country team, was soundly beaten at its own game, on its own course, In its own invitational Saturday. While this may seem startling, Andy Wolf-whose Anderson team administered the thrashing-was hardly shocked.

"No, I'm not surprised," Wolf said, after Anderson beat Elder, 46 to 78, in Elder Invitational at Rapid Run Park. "And I wouldn't be surprised if they beat us next week well, yes, I would be surprised. But it's two good teams." Consider, Elder finished ahead of Anderson last week in the Malone Invitational. The reason Elder is traditionally so good is depth. But it was Anderson's depth that beat Elder.

Anderson's fifth runner finished in front of Elder's third man. "Two of the guys who have been in the top five for us didn't even run today," Wolf. "We have great depth. It's been very competitive all year. We have 10 good runners." SATURDAY'S PERFORMANCE was a good example of how close Anderson's runners are in ability.

The first man, Jeff Reed, was seventh; the fifth man, Brian Hock, was 12th. Kevin Rogenski (eighth), Rex Taylor (ninth) and Matt Byers (10th) were between Reed and Hock. "Anytime you beat Elder you run well," said Wolf. "Because they're so good and they've been so good for so long. They just do everything right." Saturday, Anderson did everything right.

"I knew they could do that," Elder coach Steve Spencer said. "They looked good. They had a super pjick B1YS DIVISION II Team scores: 1. Anderson 46, 2. Elder 76, 3.

I think it rubbed off on i mem Decause we were behind in all three games. Missy played as well as she could.

She gave her best effort, and I think the girls were trying to cover up for her." JOHNSON, A 5-foot-8 senior, is a hitter-setter for the Highlanders was almost speechless after the match. "It was an important game for us," Johnson said. "I don't think I did that much tonight, but I had to be here." In all three games Saturday, ak Hills had to come back after Mercy took an early lead. In the first game, Mercy led 4-0, but the Highlanders' tied the game at 7-7. However, Mercy went on to win the first game, 15-9.

"We have to learn to be aggressive at all times," Mercy coach Rose Koch said after the match. "We can't let up even if we have a lead. Oak Hills is a good team, there's no denying that. But we lack that killer instinct." IN THE second game, Mercy once again jumped out to a 4-0 advantage, but Oak Hills took charge and won, 15-7. In the deciding game, Mercy went up 2-0, but after that it was no contest as Oak Hills easily won, 15-4.

Chris Huber, the other co-captain for Oak Hills, realized how important the game was. "We didn't have too much of a problem getting ready for this game," Huber said. "Most of the players from Mercy and Oak Hills know each other well, so it's a friendly rivalry." Oak Hills' senior Sue Wilkymacky played almost all three games for the Highlanders and the victory was extra special for her. After attending Mercy her freshman year, she transfered to Oak Hills. His Own the eighth grade," Popplewell said.

The victory takes on added meaning because it was at Middletown and the Middies led, 15-8, at half. "People were starting to notice us before the Middletown game," Popplewell said. "Now they'll really take notice." Fairfield is 6-0, but things don't get any easier. The Indians are at Lima next week, then host Princeton, the state's No. 1 ranked team.

St. Rita then made a ferocious comeback in the second half to cut the deficit to 50-42 on a 1-yard run by Dave Zurawski, but an attempted onslde kick failed and Kentucky ran out the clock.
