6-2-1 overall, have been on the warpath for the past month. They've rolled to four straight victories, while giving up only one touchdown in those contests. Although Gettysburg has been successful both running and throwing of late, it's in the passing department wbese the Warriors have really shined. In quarterback Mike Nett they have the number three ranked passer in this region. Nett has thrown 12 touchdown passes in bis last three games and has a total of 17, tops in the area.

On the receiving end of most of those passes has been pound end Dean Pennypacker, who currently leads the region with 31 pass receptions. incUid- ing eight touchdown passes. Bermudian Coach Dale Heineman admitted the Nett-to-Pennypacker combination has been of major concern in his practices this week. Of Pennypacker he said: ''He's one of the best receivers I've seen in the Blue Mountain League. We've been on our zone coverage to try to stop Heineman added that Nett is an "exceptionally good thrower." "Well try a lot of stunting, trv to force him to throw before he is said Heineman.

The Eagles coach added he will continue to use Ken Geiger. a Senior, at quarterback. Greg Myers had been the Eagles' quarterback earlier in the season but nas had some problems with a knee- Myers will see action this week on defense and be spotted at a split-end post Heineman said. Gettysburg Coach Steve De- Riggs said he has been pleased the steady improvement of his offensive line. "Taey've been blocking well for the ran but need a little more work on pass biodnng," said DeRiggs.

Thai's the appraisal of the Lions by Coach George Shue. Thunderbolt coach. Camp Hill has tipped its BML North record to 4-1 and has a good shot at taking that division title. Tim Gallagher has returned to his running slot for the Lions which has added tremendously to the offense.

He had been used as a flanker recently because of an injury. Matt Deiao, another vet. supplements in the ball oting. George Forbes, quarterback, has proven a capable pass- r. On the line it has been Mark McCausiin as the leader.

"I believe it will be a defensive battle, one in which the outcome may depend on mis- akes created by the defense." said Shue. "Our games have always been close in the past and this one should be no exception." he added. Steve Wildasin, "200. senior ackle, is the lone doubtful starter for littlestowa because of an injury. Littlestown, loser only to Westminster in its non-league open- has swept to eight straight riumphs and is 5-0 in the BML South Division.

"We must get 'up' for this one." says Emanuel. The losses to New Oxford and Gettysburg took a lot of fire out of the squad and if they can regain iieir spirit should give the Blue Devils a busy afternoon. Greencastle is 3-6 overall and 1-3 in the BML South while the Canners sport an identical record. CENTRAL DAUPHIN AT DELONE Coach Johnny Gastley of Deone is hoping that with the observance of Parents' Day and the final home appearance of a group of seniors his Squires will be keyed high.

Buchanan's passing combination of twins Terry and Barry Carbaugh is the main concern of the Colonials in preparing for the Rockets. "Their quarterback (Terry) runs the option well and he can throw the ball. He's the person to said Arigo. is starting to move," said Emanuel, pointing to its 10-7 surprise win over Big Spring last week. "They are a pretty fair defensive team and the offense is starting to jell." The Canners are working hard to improve their running game and at the same time have been striving to come up with a better pass defense.

Emanuel reports his squad Is in good physical condition. CV Umpires Plan Banquet On April 9 The Cumberland Valley Umpires Association will hold their annual banquet on Tuesday evening.
