Passing grade Ex-Central star relaying knowledge to QBs at Cedar Crest WEEK 3 PREVIEW head coach Spike Fuhrmans staff as an offensive assistant and quarterbacks coach.

Nagy, married to Cedar Crests girls track coach Stacey Nagy, helped out on the Barons staff with the quarterbacks last year, but had received a standing invitation from Fuhrman to join his staff a few years (NAGY, page 3C) By PAT HUGGINS Daily News Sportswriter SOUTH LEBANON -Had Matt Nagy been spotted hanging around the Cedar Crest football practice field a few years back, he would likely have been politely told to get lost. After all, the presence of a former Manheim Central quarterback in South Lebanon would have been a rather unwelcome sight, given the heated, albeit lopsided, rivalry the two schools had engaged in before the series ended last season. These days though, the sight of Nagy on the practice field is a welcome one for the Falcons.

Senators in familiar 0-2 hole By DON SCOn Sports Correspondent HAKRISBURG All season, the Harrisburg Senators have had to battle back. First, they had to pass the Reading Phillies in the last week of the season just to make the playoffs. Then once there, they fell behind Akron 0-2 before rallying to win three straight games to advance to the Eastern League championship series. And theyll have to do it again. Harrisburg dropped a 13-4 decision to Norwich last night in the final game to be played this season at RiverSide Stadium.

And with the victory, the Navigators return home for the remaining games in the best-of-five series holding a 2-0 lead. David Parrish drove in four runs, three on a bases-loaded triple, to lead the Norwich 19-hit attack against four Harrisburg pitchers. Three of the hits were home runs. Albenis Machado gave the Senators a brief lead when he slammed a one-out home run in the first. The Navigators rebounded with a pair in the top of the second on three hits.

Michael Cervanek connected for his first postseason round-tripper to start things, and Aaron Rifkin followed with a double, moved to third on a single by Tevris Olivares and scored on a fielders choice RBI by David Parrish. Harrisburg regained the lead on an RBI single by Jason Brown, sending Jeremy Ware, who had singled, home before Figueroa stroked a two-out safety to plate Brown. The Navigators sent 10 men to the plate in the third, scoring six times to chase starter Josh Karp (1-1), who came into the game with a 1.29 playoff ERA. A leadoff walk started the fun, but the key blow was a bases-loaded triple by Parrish. Brian Myrow, Cervanek and Kevin Reese accounted for the other RBI hits.

I wasnt sitting on anything special, Parrish said. I just wanted to make something happen. With the game close like it was, we didnt want to waste any opportunities. Norwich added a run in the fifth against Darwin Marrero on three straight two-out hits to take a 9-3 lead. In the seventh, Erick Almonte sent a laser over the left-field wall with a man on and Myers followed with a drive to right-center against Gerardo Casadiego, the third pitcher for the home team, to put Norwich up 13-3.

Their starter got the ball up and we took advantage of that, Myrow said about his teams offensive assault. The whole team hit well, (SENATORS, page 4C) Sports aid in healin Heart attack claims life of QB Unitas, 69 BALTIMORE (AP) Many of his records already have fallen, and others may not last. His reputation, however, is forever secure: Johnny Unitas was one of the greatest quarterbacks in NFL history. To many, he was the best of all. Unitas, a Hall of Fame player who broke nearly every NFL passing record and won three championships with the Baltimore Colts during his 18-year career, died yesterday at 69.

He had a heart attack while working out at a physical therapy center in suburban Timonium, said Vivienne Steams-EUiott, a spokeswoman for St. Joseph Medical Center in Towson. Unitas underwent emergency triple-bypass surgery in 1993 after a heart attack. Johnny was hardly the typical quarterback. With his trademark crewcut, drooping shoulders, crooked legs and black hightops, Unitas in (UNITAS, page 3C) Stadiums across country, and events around world, pause to reflect on tragedy country was dealing with it.

The monument in center field, Torre said, opens a book of memories and sadness thats not going to go away. It happened on our turf. It seems like it happened 10 days ago, 10 minutes ago. American flags flew at half-staff in every ballpark. Songs such as Imagine, I Will Survive, Let it Be and Bridge Over Troubled Water played during batting practice instead of the usual bubble gum pop music.

And the electronic boards throughout the country car- (BASEBALL, page 4C) NEW YORK (AP) Joe Torre wiped his eyes as saxophonist Branford Marsalis played Taps. Fans held hands or wrapped their arms around each other. Yankee Stadium, the scene of so many emotional moments in the aftermath of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks last year, felt like a giant cathedral on the anniversary last night. Fans and ballplayers from New York to San Francisco stood through stirring ceremonies, remembering victims, honoring heroes and making a statement about the national spirit.

The Yankees unfurled a flag recovered from the World Trade Center and unveiled a memorial inscribed We Remember, in Monument Park beyond the center-field fence. After the singing of God Bless America and the national anthem fans broke into chants of U-S-A, U-S-A. We were tough and united right away after the attacks a year ago, and this is a night when everyone can show how tough and united we still are, Torre said. We dont need to relive what happened, but we need to remember. I went through a range of emotions, from scared to mad to proud of how the city and Elco alone atop section; Vikes throttle Beavers to learn that we have to score by committee this year.

That is what the Raiders finally did, getting goals from four different players. Casey Clauser scored the only goal the Raiders would need when he nailed a half volley from the top of the box off Josh Hoffmans direct kick from the left side in the 37th minute. That was all the first-half scoring, but in the 50th minute, Clauser fed Dylan Keener going through traffic toward the net and Keener tapped the ball home. Five minutes later, Jake Good drove a diving header inside the post off a service (INNOCENT, page 4C) ByDANSERNOFFSKY Daily News Sportswriter ANNVILLE They may still be working out some kinks, but the Elco Raiders are still sitting at the top of the Lancaster-Lebanon League Section Three soccer standings. And, thanks to some unexpected help from Lancaster Catholic, sitting there by themselves.

The Raiders ran their Section Three record to 3-0-1 with a 4-0 victory over Annville-Cleona yesterday. At the same time, Lancaster Catholic was upsetting Lancaster Mennonite 2-1, handing the Blazers their first loss in section play. Elco and Mennonite played to a 2-2 draw on Monday. Thanks to the upset win, Lancaster Catholic moved into a tie with Pequea Valley, a 1-0 winner in overtime over Donegal yesterday, for second place while Mennonite slipped to fourth. Northern Lebanon rolled to an 8-1 victory over Lebanon Catholic in the remaining Section Three game yesterday to relegate the Beavers to sole possession of last place.

Our inexperience showed up the first half, said Elco coach Mike Seigfried following the win over Annville-Cleona. Some of our guys tried to dribble through their defense and win the game by themselves, and that doesnt work. In the second half, we starting playing to the outside and that got us going.
