Blue Devils prevail over Cards
Cardinals thrash Condon 48-0
By Anne Morter
The lone Cardinals got back on
the winning track last Friday,
Oct. 1, thrashing Condon in
much the same fashion they were
thrashed the previous week. The
Cards stymied the Blue Devil of
fense, completely shutting them
out of the end zone while their of
fense racked up 48 points, ending
the game early in the fourth
quarter.
The tone was set when Brian
Holtz scored on the first play
from scrimmage with a 63 yard
run. Quarterback Jared Ashbeck
ran in from 12 yards out for the
second score and Rodney
Ehrmantraut, on a three yard run,
made it past the goal for the third
score of the first quarter. By the
end of the first quarter, the Car
dinals led 20-0. All of the first
quarter scorers scored again later
in the game as did Holtz on a two
yard run in the second quarter.
The Cards amassed 300 yards
of total offense, 204 on the
ground and 96 in the air. Holtz
was the leading rusher with 78
yards on six carries. In the pass
ing department, Ashbeck con
nected on four of his eight passes
for 70 yards. Backup quarterback
Luke Swanson hit two of his
seven targets for 26 yards.
“ The kids played really well,”
commented coach Gregg Riet-
mann. He was especially pleas
ed with the strong defensive ef
fort, holding the Blue Devils to
42 yards of total offense.
Next up for the Cards is a road
trip to Culver this Thursday, Oct.
7. The Bulldogs should prove to
be a formidable opponent with a
4-0 record. Game time is 2 p.m.

The Ione-Condon game provid
ed the fans with some exciting
volleyball, at least for the first
game. The Blue Devils however,
prevailed in two games 18-16,
15-4.
In the first game, the lady Car
dinals rallied from a 3-11 deficit
to tie the game at 14. The went
up 15-14 and had several tries at
game point. But down the stretch,
two back-to-back missed game
point serves cost the Cardinals the
game. lone never recoverd the
momentum of the first game,
leaving the door open for the Blue
Devils to walk away with the
match.
“ We lost our intensity (in the
second game). The girls have to
learn that volleyball is the best of
three games, not the best of one,”
said coach Greg Likens.
At the serving line, the Cards
were successful on 41 of 48 at
tempts for 85 percent. Their team
hitting percentage was 84 percent
on 37 of 44 hitting but the hits,
for the most part, were soft, mak
ing for a low kill ratio.
April Taylor and Mary Jane
McCarty were both eight for
eight at the serving line and had
three points each. Jamie Lovett
was 10 for 12 serving with three
aces. Melissa McElligott also had
three aces on six of eight serving.
Likens was encouraged by the
play of some of his younger
players. Suzy Heideman came off
the bench to perform well at the
net, hitting six of seven with two
kills. Lyndee Minster also came
off the bench with some excellent
sets.
“ Our unforced errors cost us
and we had a lot of them but it’s
been one of the best games we
have played,” said Likens.
The lone JV team took their
match in two games, 15-5, 15-11.
