"They (Waynesboro) have a tough team of talented girls," continued Jacobs. EWSPAPERl "But our girls never gave up and three games in four days is rough." Waynesboro mentor Richard George agreed that the recent schedule hurt Biglerville but added.

"We played a solid defense and did a few tricks which confused their guards and we put pressure on their forwards." The confusion and pressure was necessary as Biglerville took the opening tip- off and grabbed the lead on a basket by Missy Falk and a free throw by McMaster. But buckets by Julie Stern and Kristin Shull gave the Maidens the lead back with 4:22 left in the first quarter. After that, the Canners managed four points on baskets by Falk and McMaster but then Waynesboro pumped in eight points to give them a 12-7 lead as the first buzzer sounded. In the second stanza.

The Canners had a letdown and Waynesboro took advantage of it. running off eight straight points in the last three minutes to give themselves a 25-14 halftime lead. With a 15-point lead. Waynesboro substituted freely, but starter Sue Smedley found the range as she made seven of the team's 16 fourth quarter points. NOTES: Waynesboro edged Biglerville.

But head coach Merrill Eckhart inserted the word in front of his team's name and the Running Warriors outraced visiting Big Spring. 81-70. Friday night behind the hot hands of Dave Hunt and Joe Hill. "It's nice to be in the win column again." quipped Eckhart after his team won its first game since decisioning Northern on Dec. 19.

"We tried to get the ball down the court a lot quicker than we had been. We weren't playing aggressive enough (during the losing skein) so tonight I decided to play aggressive both ways on offense as well as defense and I think it helped us." Gettysburg shot 46 percent from the floor hardly bragging material but the Warriors got off 72 shots, a much higher total than in the four losses. And. surprisingly, very few of the shots were bad ones. Hill.

Hunt and Gene King popped from the outside regularly but, for the most part, took shots from well within their range. Hill combined an assortment of medium range jumpers and drives to the basket for a game-high 24 points. He also added nine rebounds and dished off four assists. Hunt meanwhile, followed games of zero and eight points with an 18-point effort. Several of his baskets came on beautiful drives over the Bulldogs' huge front line.

Eckhart noted that Hunt's ability to hit some early buckets gave him the confidence he needed and "really helped his game." Eckhart was also pleased with the job he got from Tad Baranski and Brad Crouse off the bench. Baranski notched 12 points, his high for the season, and played a strong inside game, while Crouse hit two buckets and played well at guard filling in in the first half. The Running Warriors ran off to a 12-7 first-quarter lead before Big Spring center Sharpe Over scored with just one second remaining to cut Gettysburg's lead to 12-9 The Warriors began using a zone press against the Bulldogs in the second quarter and it paid off With its size advantage. Big Spring would have been better off working for a patterned offense to get the ball inside. Bouncers survive scare to down Northern, 5840 By PHIL GLATFELTER Times Sports Writer LITTLESTOWN "The third quarter seems to be our downfall." said Littlestown coach Carolyn Folmer." The third quarter and early fourth quarter almost was Littlestown's downfall as Northern gave the Bouncers a scare before Littlestown regained control and went on to a 5840 win Friday afternoon in Blue Mountain League girls basketball action.

The Bouncers were in control of the game for all but about 10 minutes when Northern put on a run. Despite a short lapse. Folmer said "it was a good overall game; everybody played an excellent game." Littlestown wasted little time in opening up a lead scoring the first six points, all by a different player. The Bouncers then closed out the quarter with eight straight points, while Northern committed four straight turnovers, to lead 24-7. Deanna Yealy scored eight points, six of them coming off offensive rebounds.

Vicki Freeman and Sandy Sunderland each had six points. Littlestown' and Northern played on almost even terms in the second quarter with Littlestown holding a 10-8 advantage. Sunderland had the hot hand with six markers to lead the Bouncers to a comfortable 34-15 halftime lead. Things didn't go quite as well in the third quarter as they did in the first half. The Bouncers failed to score the first seven times down the floor enforcing Folmer's statement that "we just don't come out well after the half." But Northern only scored one bucket during that spurt.

Littlestown's first bucket didn't come until the 4:30 mark. A Freeman bucket on an assist from Yealy gave Littlestown a 38-16 lead. But Northern scored the last six points of the quarter to close the margin to 16 at 38-22. still a comfortable Bouncer lead. However, that comfortable lead didn't stay that way for long as Northern reeled off a 9-2 spurt to close to nine.

40-31. Trish Borneisen and Jenny Leach scored all nine points. Borneisen landing five and Leach four. Just as suddenly as Northern turned the momentum around, the pendulum swung back to Littlestown's side. With the running game setting up most of their shots, the Bouncers ran to a 12-0 streak and a 52-31 lead.

Yealy scored six of those, all showing her versatility: one basket came off an offensive rebound, another a jump shot from the foul line and the third coming on a fast break layup After Northern countered with two baskets. Freeman scored on an offensive rebound shot and Yealy hit on two fast break layups to give Littlestown its biggest lead at 58-34. Northern closed with six straight points to end the making the final, players are in good enough shape to stand playing almost a whole game With just seven players, the players learn to work well together. "They're like a family out there." Folmer said. And the girls are smart enough to know better than to make any "dumb mistakes (fouls)." Three Bouncers combined for 50 points against Northern.

Yealy poured in 22 points and had five steals, while grabbing 11 rebounds. Sunderland netted 16 points and pulled down 13 rebounds, while Freeman had 12 points and five steals. Also.

Mass. A Spurned by the man they coveted. New England Patriots' officials set their sights again Friday on finding someone to coach their National Football League team. "The search goes on." Patriots General Manager Bucko Kilroy said Friday after John Robinson, citing personal reasons, said he would keep his job as coach at Southern California rather than accept an offer to coach New England. "We have no second choice right now.

We're not negotiating with anyone." Kilroy said at a news conference. However. The Boston Globe reported Friday that the search now focuses on Southern Methodist Coach Ron Meyer Kilroy refused to divulge any names under consideration But a source close to the situation listed Meyer among four backup candidates to Robinson. The others were head coaches Tom Osborne of Nebraska and Hugh Campbell of the Edmonton Eskimos of the Canadian Football League and Philadelphia Eagles defensive coordinator Marion Campbell. Kilroy denied the Patriots had contacted the attorney for their backup candidate while they were negotiating with Robinson and characterized such reports as "strictly speculation But Charles Sullivan, the Patriots' executive vice president who handled the Robinson negotiations, said Thursday the club had done that Kilroy said the team is sticking to its original timetable to have a new coach before the Super Bowl on Jan 24.

The position became vacant when Ron Erhardt was fired Dec. 22. two days after a 2-14 season. New England's worst Kilroy said Robinson was "well pleased" with how much control he would have had over the club's football operation. He also said the Patriots' contract offer, believed to be for five years, "was comparable with most of the top ones (coaches' contracts) in the National Football League "The Patriots were thinking Macy's bargain basement." the Globe quoted Ed Hookstratten.

Robinson's attorney, as saying, "and we were thinking Bergdorf- Goodman. They will never be successful as long as they continue to think like that." Kilroy said Robinson told him the decision Friday morning. He added that he was surprised and disappointed that the man the Patriots publicly proclaimed their first choice had rejected them. "I thought everything was going along smoothly Kilroy said. "He (Robinson indicated he wanted it and now (there's) a complete turnaround." Lions' Munchak ready to go pro FOUL!
