Tennis Teams Puts Together Two Straight Wins
After suffering five straight losses, the Comet tennis team edged Lebanon 3-2 on April 6 and followed with a solid 6-1 effort over Manheim Central. “This group of mostly sophomores has had some tough losses,” said head coach Amanda Pryzbylkowski. “We came off that tight win over Lebanon with a newfound confidence.” PM’s No. 1 hitter, PJ Fahey blanked Lebanon’s Cohen and topped Central’s Ben Giner 6-0, 6-2. Adding to the win over Lebanon was Rost and Ryan Duman with a hard-fought 7-6 (7-5)/ 6-4 win at No. 1 doubles while Colin Kligge and Aydan Aliotta won 6-1, 6-0. Fahey and Suren Clark opened with an 8-3 win at Central while Will Steltz and Rost won 8-2 and Kligge and Duman made it 3-0 with an 8-5 result at No. 3. Clark added a 7-5, 6-4 win at No. 3 singles while Rost blanked Owen Patten at No. 4. BOYS’ LACROSSE The Comets picked up its third straight win Saturday, April 9, with
a 16-6 non-league result over visiting Daniel Boone. The hosts sprinted to a 9-1 lead in the first quarter but slowed after that, winning the next three frames by a slim 9-7 count. “We have our greatest success when we play with a lot of energy and passion,” said head coach Connor Rowe. “I felt our energy dropped after that first quarter and that’s something this young team needs to keep working on.” Isaic Nafziger spearheaded Manor’s attack with eight goals while Colin Eby notched his first varsity hat trick and dished one assist. Erik Hinkle led the assist team with four, while scoring twice, and Adam Hollinger added three. Benedict Flinchbaugh also scored a pair. “We’ve moved Colin to different positions and his attitude through everything has been impressive,” said Rowe. “It’s a great sign of the culture when a senior can lead the way he does.” SOFTBALL The softball just keeps rolling. Friday’s (April 8) 5-1 win at Cedar Crest was Manor’s fifth straight. Julie Bowmaster finished with five strikeouts and one walk over six

innings while Emily Riggs, the closer, struck out two and walked one in the seventh. Reagan Soboleski led the sevenhit attack with a single and a double and Kaitlyn Ream added a two-run base hit in the second inning, pushing the lead to 3-0. In crossover action April 11, the Comets improved to 6-0 overall with a 2-1 thriller over CV. Tied at 1-1 in the bottom of the seventh, Bria Booth singled, and with two outs, Jordan Bailey matched Booth’s effort. Riggs walked to load the bases and Audrey Paterson’s infield grounder was thrown away, pushing in Booth with the game-winner. The Comets finished with seven hits, two each from Booth (1RBI) and Soboleski. Bowmaster fanned eight batters, walked two and gave up four hits. Riggs struck out the last batter of the sixth and retired the side in the seventh. Patterson’s three run homer fueled a 15-0 shutout over Lebanon. Bowmaster tossed the one-hitter. VOLLEYBALL The volleyball team put up some competitive numbers Thursday,
April 7 but fell short of victory in a 3-2 home loss against Cedar Crest. This one see-sawed back-and-forth with each team trading wins throughout. Crest won 25-21 and responded to a 29-19 second set loss to go up 2-1 with a 25-18 third set. Manor came back to tie with a 25-20 win only to fall behind 15-7 down the stretch. “We had a lot of unforced errors, but Derek Warfel kept us in the game,” said head coach Brian Kemrer. “Luke Thomas (9 blocks) was outstanding at the net,” he added. Derek Warfel was also impressive, putting down 18 kills. Wyatt Rohrer put up 19 assists and served a game-high seven aces. Standing out on the defensive end was Max Bushong with 19 digs. In a 3-1 win over McCaskey (25-11, 25-14, 22-25, 25-18) Warfel racked up 26 kills with 40 assists going to Rohrer. Bushong recorded 29 digs and Roman Keefer added five blocks. GIRLS’ LACROSSE The Lady Comets exploded for a season-high 19 goals in a lopsided win at Daniel Boone April 9. The visitors racked up nine goals in the first half, poured in ten after the break and gave up just three. Keegan Dings led the charge with nine goals and one assist. Erin Shipley (5g), Mia Jones (4g), Claire Eckroat (2g) and Maddie Weber (1g) added to the goal total while Grace Gerner added a pair of assists. The scoring continued in Monday’s 14-10 victory over visiting Cedar Crest. Manor put up 11 first half goals, enough to overcome the Falcons’ 5-3 second half advantage. Brooklynn Ayala needed just three saves to preserve Manor’s third win of the season. Dings and Shipley continue to anchor the offense, combining for 11 goals. Weber (2g, 1a) and Jones (1g) rounded out the offense.

plate the game-winner in the bottom of the seventh. An ironic ending considering Manor knotted the score in the top of the seventh. Bryce Avery singled, stole second and third and scored on an error by the catcher. Both teams finished with four hits with Ethan Adelman going 2-for-3 for the Comets, but the CV pitchers were credited with 10 strikeouts. Grant Fry struck out six and scattered three hits over five innings, Avery closed with one strikeout and one walk. The Comets were coming off an 8-hit, 7-1 victory over Cedar Crest Friday, April 8. They used a four run second inning to gain momentum. Isaac Braegelmann, Hunter Sipel (3 RBI) and Adelman each collected two hits with Sipel connecting for a triple in the first and a two run double in the second. Noah Beach went the distance on the hill, scattering three hits in a five strikeout, two walk outing. Wednesday’s 4-run third inning highlighted an 8-2 win over Lebanon and pushed the Comets to 4-3 overall. TRACK In Neffsville last Monday, the Comet teams went up against a
stronger, deeper Manheim Township squad and came home with similar results. The boys won five events and lost 90-60 while the girls, with six wins, fell short 98-52. Both teams found their strength in the field. Wyatt Kauffman, Jael Cruz, and Ty Keller swept the discus, Dhamir Wesley won the javelin and Jaryd Kleinhaus, and Evan Jurgenson went 1-2 in the shot. For the girls, Kelsey Buswell and Elise Green went 1-2 in the discus and Gertrude Moenga won the shot with Buswell taking third.
