Lacrosse Cradles Ches-Mont Championship Two new championship trophies were on exhibition in the GV display case following the spring season. The girls ' lacrosse team also coasted to a first place finish. The 1977 season marked the fourth time in as many years that the Patriot stickgals esta- blished their supremacy in the Ches-Mont League. That streak appears even more impressive when it is considered that the head coaching position changed hands three times in that four year period; Roe Gentile was the new boss in 1977. Her team com- piled a league mark of 8-1 and an overall 8-2 count. The squad ' s success could not be traced directly to one or two players --everyone contributed. Standing out defensively were goalie and co- captain Anne Madarasz, who received All Ches- Mont honorable mention, Ann Voltz, named to the first team, and Kixn Lowe, who won second team laurels. Betsy Wagner, Joan Aker, Karen Vail, and Chelle Mowery rounded out a stingy de- fense. Outstanding attackers included co- captain Donna Quay, Lynn Harper, and Lisa Romig, awarded All Ches-Mont second team, first team, and honorable mention status respectively. Marie Martino, Shari Marshall, and Maureen Finn merit mention for their offensive efforts. First year coach Roe Gentile empha- sizes a point. Senior Lynn Harper ducks through the opposition ' s defense. Jiuiior Lisa Romig takes that much- needed halftime drink. Sophomore Maureen Finn takes an over-the-shoulder shot. 146 Senior Marie Martino apprehensively watches a downiield pass. Did it reach its desired destination? 1977 LACROSSE TEAM: STANDING: Coach Gentile, Margie MilUck, Karen Vail, Ann Voltz, Becky Kettelle, Betsy Wagner, Chelle Mowery, Joan Aker, Kim Lowe, Betty Lombardo, Jane Taylor, Lisa Fortunato; SITTING: Judy Turnquest, Shari Marshall, Marie Martino, Joan Fosnocht, Donna Quay, Anne Madarasz, Lynn Harper, Lisa Romig, Maureen Finn n • .

Diamondmen Field Second Place Finish Brian Stackhouse holds his swing on a low pitch. The 1977 baseball season was crammed with both success and fl IStration for Hal Honig ' s GV squad. The Patriot diamondmen led the Ches-Mont League ' s Southern Division throughout most of the year, but two late-season losses forced a play-off for the di- vision title with the Downingtown Whippets. The Whippets won the game, so Great Vailed ended up a close second with a 13-3 league record. Again there were no stars in the Valley attack- -a well-bal- anced team was the key to victory. The Patriot batters hit a hefty .305 for the season, with Randy Stone, co- captain Rich DeRafelo, Terry Skahan, and co-captain Steve Dixon sporting the top indivi- dual averages. Stone also led the pitching staff with a 7-3 count, while Mike Cola was 5-1, and DeRafelo was 3-0. Ken Liskey, Larry Barker, Brian Stackhouse, and Dave McDonnell were the other regulars in the line-up. Steve Dixon tried to check, but the ball still hit his bat. Rich DeRafelo reaches out and strokes a base hit. ' 4 ' jS .. ji J. i if ,T1 . ATlf =A..- -jU A Dave McDonnell lets the bat fly as he takes off for first base. It looks like bad news for Great Valley. Dave McDonnell, Brian Stackhouse, and Coach Honig appear none too happy as relief pitcher Brett Donbach warms up. 148 Baseball
