Tiger Cubs take both tourneys ROACHDALE-For the second year in a row, the Putnam County Volleyball Tournament has a double champion. Greencastle captured both the varsity and junior varsity titles Saturday by defeating host North Putnam in the two championship games.

After beating Cloverdale 4-15, 15-4 and 15-9 in the first round, Greencastle’s junior varsity scored an 11-15, 15-3 and 15-13 win over North Putnam in the final match.

Cloverdale overpowered South Putnam 15-0,15-1 in the varsity consolation match. THE TIGER CUBS had to rally to win the varsity championship. North jumped out to a 6-1 lead in the first game, then broke away from a 10-10 tie to win. Greencastle led all the way in the second game of the match, Kim Sheldon playing one of her best matches at the net, according to coach Trish Arthur. North Putnam broke out to a 6-0 lead in the third game before Tawnya Pierce drilled eight straight points, including two service aces and Sheldon dominated the net with a block, dink and kill to put Greencastle ahead for good. Sherri Swihart led Greencastle’s championship match scoring with 14 points, followed by Pierce with nine, Melanie Murray eight, Sheldon four, Kristy McGuire three and Teri Mahoney and Michelle Archer each had one.

Passing recoids only consolation
Although the DePauw football squad fell to NCAA Division 111 sixth-rated Hope College, 34-26, Saturday in Holland, Mich, coach Nick Mourouzis’ Tigers displayed a “never say die” attitude that’s not present in all football teams. DePauw, who was outplayed through three quarters, outscored the Flying Dutchmen, 19-0, in the last 13 minutes of the game to stage a near remarkable come from behind victory. Hope held a very comfortable 34-7 lead, through three periods of play before quarterback Tony deNicola and the Tigers caught fire. “WE DIDN’T PLAY well at all in the first half,” stated Mourouzis, “but our goal was to come out and win the second half, which we did. We just fell short at the end.” Trailing by 21 points the Tigers used a hurry-up offense almost the entire fourth quarter. Overcoming mistakes that were made earlier in the contest, the Tigers fought back. deNicola in the fourth quarter connected on a very impressive 13 of 19 passes for 209 yards and two touchdowns while running one in himself. In the final period deNicola and the Tigers had the Hope defense on the run. deNicola’s outstanding performance put him into the DePauw record books. His 367 total yards passing set a new mark for passing yardage in a single game. The old record was 305 yards set by Moorie Goodnight against Rochester in 1957. deNicola also broke Steve Hinding’s record set in 1973 with 49 passing attempts. Hinding attempted 45 in a game against Butler. “TONY PLAYED AN outstanding second half as he gained confidence, and throughout the game our receivers made spectacular catches. “Weaver, Penn, and Holford all came up with great catches,” added Mourouzis. Two other DePauw passing records fell during the afternoon. deNicola and junior quarterback Chip Jordan combined for 397 yards, breaking the old mark of 346 set in 1981 versus Washington-St. Louis. The two junior quarterbacks also broke the old record of 47 attempts by Tiger hurlers in one contest. deNicola and Jordan attempted 53. “The two key plays to the game, I believe,” Mourouzis said, “was the fact that we didn’t score any points at all when we recovered the opening kick off on their 16-yard line. And the other key was when they blocked our punt and recovered it for a touchdown.”
ON THE THIRD play of the fourth quarter DePauw senior tightend Sky Holford made an outstanding grab of a deNicola pass for a 24-yard touchdown. The catch was just one of many spectacular catches made by Tiger receivers thoughout the afternoon. Freshman Tom Downham hit the extra point conversion, as the Tigers now trailed 34-14. The score capped a 12-play, 75-yard drive by DePauw. The DePauw defense, like the offense, got on track in the fourth quarter. After the deNicola to Holford touchdown, Hope quarterback Greg Heeres, one of the top passers in Division 111 the last two seasons, and the Dutchmen offensive unit could only manage one first down the remainder of the game. With less than eight minutes remaining in the game, the Tigers began a drive on the Hope 46-yard line. DePauw fullback, All-American candidate, Rich Bonaccorsi bullied through the middle for five yards. deNicola then proceeded to complete three consecutive passes to put the Tigers on the
Dutchmen one-yard line, delicola carried the ball over the goal line for his first collegiate rushing touchdowi, with 5:13 left. Downham, who had beei perfect on his first two extra points tries .missed wide left. The Tigers had cut Hope lead to 3420. ONCE AGAIN THE DePatw defense rose to the occasion. Hope wat unable to move, and were forced to punt ajain. The Tigers were now on ther own 37yard line, still in their hurry-up offense. The combination of deNicola to wide receiver Tim Weaver, and split end Doug Penn moved the ball downfield. With only 3:01 left in the contest deNicola hit Weaver on a 11-yard TD pass. The catch was Weaver’s second scoring reception of the day to tie a DePauw record. On the ensuing play, the Tigers elected to go for two points to attempt to cut the lead to only six. The Tigers seemed to be successful, as deNicola teamed up with Gino Gianotti, but the play was denied because of offensive interference away from the ball. The bal was moved back 15 yards, and the Tigers failed to convert the two-point play. THE TIGERS HELD the high powered Hope offensive attack one more time to give DePauw a last chance at a comeback. The vision of a comeback, faltered, however, as the Tigers were stopped at the Hope seven-yard line with only 46 seconds in the game. On the Tigers last play deNicola dropped back to pass, but a heavy Hope rush forced him to throw in desperation. The pass ended up in the hands of DePauw offensive tackle John Carter. The Tigers were penalized for ineligible receiver, and Hope took over on downs and ran the clock out. Although the Tigers had an uphill battle most of the game, it looked as if they were going to jump on the scoreboard first. DePauw’s Tim Cornett recovered a Hope fumble on the game’s opening kickoff to give the Tigers great field position on the Hope 17-yard line. THE DUTCHMEN defense established themselves early as they kept DePauw out of the endzone despite having their backs to the wall. Downham missed a 31-yard field goal and Hope gained possession of the ball and the momentum.
“We just had too many individual breakdowns on offense and defense in the first half,’’ Mourouzis commented. It didn’t take Heeres long to take charge. The Dutchmen scored the first three times they had the ball. On their first possession Heeres hit fullback Mike Strum on a 12yard pass on the ninth play of a drive. The point after kick failed. ONCE THE FLYING DUTCHMEN got the ball back Heeres continued to move his team. This time Hope drove 88 yards in 11 plays as tailback Tom Van Heest scampered 13 yards for the touchdown with 4:19 remaining in the first quarter. Hope tried for two points but were stopped at the goal line by the DePauw defense. DePauw got right back into the game as deNicola led a Tiger march downfield. Weaver capped off a well-executed drive as he caught his first of two touchdown receptions from seven yards out from deNicola. The Tigers moved 76 yards in 13 plays. Downham converted the extra point. The Hope lead was cut in half, 14-7, with 13:46 remaining in the opening half. The Hope offense behind the arm of Greg Heeres came right back. It took the Flying Dutchmen only six plays to drive 73 yards. Heeres hit Van Heest for the two-point conversion. Hope led at the intermission, 20-7. IF THE TIGERS were to get back into the game the second half, they were going to have to score early. That was not to be the case. On the first drive of the second half Heeres led his team 46 yards as he threw 13 yards to Brian Oosterhouse for the score. Randy Smith’s kick was good and the Flying Dutchmen held a 20-7 lead with four minutes gone in the third quarter. To the 3,200 fans in Holland Municipal Stadium it seemed like Hope would put the game away early on the next series of downs. Hope’s Steve Zeldenrust recovered a Mike Sellers’ blocked punt in the endzone. Once again Smith’s kick was good and the Dutchmen were in control 34-7 with 8:42 in the third period. From that point on deNicola and the Tigers took over, but they came just short of an incredible come back.
