Damascus, Now 6-1,
Has Matured, Says Coach
Four more victories and Damascus will have satisfied
coach Mike Rlmmey 1 s preseason expectations. Chances are
those victories will come very quickly and before the Hornets
have stopped winning they will have exceeded the wishes of
the coach who was hoping for a .500 season in early December.
Damascus couldn’t even use
its entire gymnasium for pract
ice until three days before the
season opener, yet the Hornets
have raced to six victories in
the first seven games and the
team’s followers are already
looking ahead to March and
playoff time.
Rlmmey is quick to try and
dampen such premature
thoughts as playoffs and state
championships but he can hard
ly hide his rapidly building
optimism when he adds “my
kids are sure maturing. They
are now playing the game in
an intelligent way.
“That’s important. You can
have mechanical ballplayers
who do the right thing but you’ll
still lose. When you add matu
rity and that experience, well
then you can start winning.
“We’re not really as good
as the record shows but after
all the victories are there and
we could easily have been un
beaten right now.’’
The lone loss came at the
hands of Poolesvllle and it was
a close game. Poolesvllle won
65-59 but Damascus was down
by only one point late in the
game.
Rlmmey starts three juniors
and can’t brag about height or
brawn. What he does have is
five boys that want to play and;
win. The sparkplug of the unit]
is 5-9 Wayne Randolph. Dennis i
Northwood-Springbrook
Is Key Friday Night Game
County basketball teams beat i
the books this week as they re
turn to action Friday night to |
start that long road which ends
in late February when champ
ions are crowned.
Friday's program is head
lined by the Northwood-Spring
brook clash at North wood. The
Indians, unbeaten in three lea
gue games, are fifth ranked In
the Metropolitan area and boast
a fine, balanced starting five.
Sprlngbrook is likewise un
beaten and will be sending that
unit into the game that has
played together for three years,
has had experience in tourna
ment fire and has made a
startling entry Into the Glass
AA league.
Elsewhere the surprising five

number seven when it travels
to Glenelg. Damascus will be
fresh from a tournament vic
tory at Liganore. The opposi
tion will probably be tougher
then any faced to date.

Mafia Hands Sentinel Loss
The Sentinel has been able
to overcome adversity many
times in the past.
Now has come the first de
feat and at the hands of the
Mafia. The beating came In
touch football and even that
was the first such loss by the
team which won the regular
Rockville Recreation League.
The Mafia ran over The Sen
tinel, 25-0, last week, and start
ed the rout early when Tim
Reitz ran back a Sentinel punt
75 yards for a score.
The Mafia team Included Tom
Reitz, Chris Moore, Dan Butt,
Carl Kaufman, Tom Hudson,
John Mene, Bob White, Doug

load.
This team won the Liganore
Holiday tourney over Christ
mas and now faces the long
winter and the games with Class
A teams.
Rlmmey thinks that the team
might take its lumps but when
the tournament rolls around
and the Hornets are pitted
against state Class B teams
the experience might rub off.
Damascus automatically
qualifies for the state by virtue
of being Montgomery County’s
only Class B school.

WJ AND NORTHWOOD ENJOY DIG YEAR
By ROBERT GUY
Sports Editor
Basketball enjoys an enviable
position this time of the year.
Not only is it in the news for
current performances but the
review of the year in news must
start with last January and its ,
myriad of roundball tourna- ,
ments and titles. j
Walter Johnson, after being
a bridesmaid to Blair’s great
championship team of 1962, took ,
the county Class AA basketball
title and the right to represent ;
the county in the state tourna
ment at Maryland’s Cole Field ]
House.
WJ fought off Blair, B-CC and ;
Northwood for the title. The ,
key game for the Spartans was |
a 62-45 victory over Northwood
on February 15 to climb on top
of the league and clinch the .
title.
The season was filled with
surprises and excitement.
B-CC became the darling team
of the circuit with some last
minute heroics and the Barons
Bryant Agnew stamped himself
as the county’s best with the
baskets that won several games
I for B-CC in the waning minutes.
For his efforts Agnew was
named to the Metropolitan All-
Star team. His one-man type
I efforts couldn’t overcome the
Walter Johnson performance,
! however, and the Spartans went
to the state. WJ lost to Tow
son in the first round, but the
season was certainly a success.
Poolesvllle, unheralded in the
shadows of the county’s bigger
schools, romped to a second
straight state Class C title and
maintained the aura of pride in
the upper county community.
Springbrook made it to the
finals but lost to Allegany in
Class A.
In early March the big news
was the first of a series of
coaching changes at Blair. Stan
Kulakowski resigned as the Bla
zers baseball coach after 14

Classes Start
The 14th year of basketball
classes for boys in grades three
through six will start January
4 under the sponsorship of the
Sliver Spring Branch of the
YMCA. The first session will
begin at 9 ajn. with Eddie
Rleder as director of activit
ies.
The classes will be held at
six sites, Wheaton, Einstelnand
Blair High Schools and East

years of enviable teams.
Kulakowski produced six
championship teams in his last
nine years and sent Steve Bar
ber and Tom Brown to the major
leagues. George Geinger re
placed him as coach.
Walter Johnson succeeded
Northwood as county wrestling
champion in a year when the
Spartans were maturing to the
point that they would be a threat
in every sport. Northwood still
was able to claim a tremendous
grappling season.
Sherwood opened the baseball
season with a 1-0 victory over
John Carroll while Blair was
losing to Hagerstown, 9-0. The
Blazers were to have it rough
all season and had no home
field. It was being resodded
by the county for football.
Peary’s Steve Borchers golf
ed his way to the Washington
area schoolboy title with a
come-f rom-behlnd victory over
Ron Rhodes at Columbia Coun
try Club. Borchers had to wait
for Rhodes to overcome the flu
before the final match ever was
played, but the Peary lad really
boomed the ball.
Rockville and Wheaton opened
the Tri County league with
bright prospects for a long and
exciting summer struggle for
the eventual title in their divi
sion.
Sherwood stayed on top of
Class A in high school ball
and Wheaton took the early lead
in the Class AA ranks. Rich
ard Montgomery also plugged
along with a loss and the two
teams met in a showdown and
the Rockets won to stretch an
unbeaten streak that had started
in 1962.
The baseball race took a
back seat to track for a week
end in May when Northwood
romped to victory in its own
Invitational meet. The Italians
went on to greater things in
late spring.
Sherwood continued to lead
its class in mid May but Rich

of May 23. The Rockville Boys

for the lead in the American
League of the midget division.
On June 18 Judy Scarano, a
senior at Sherwood High School,
won the Maryland Duckpin title
at Baltimore’s Southwest Fair
Lanes. Ray Lawlor of Wheaton
High School won the men’s divi
sion.
Northwood High School had
its annual awards banquet at the
Naval Ordinance Lab and heard
Bobby Mitchell as guest
speaker. The school officially
received the many pounds of
gold and silver trophies that
were records of great teams and
the greatest year in the Indians’
seven years of existance.
Rockville’s Tri County team,
coached by Rowland Beall, came
1 surging back in late June to
take the league lead. The team
rallied behind the exploits of
Tommy Marshall to whip Bowie
twice and take first.
Wheaton Sport and Cycle won
three games to continue in the
lead of the MCBBA junior
1 league. The Cyclists easily
swept to wins over the Wheaton
Lions, Sheet Metal 102, and the

Titles went to St. Mary’s in
three divisions of the RBBA.
Rockville won the Tri County
West Division title and entered
the league playoffs. All of this
came as September and foot
ball approached.
Ah, football. It enjoyed its
best season. Perfect weather,
a thrilling race and the usual
surprises.
The first eye raiser came
Sept. 7 when Blair tackled
powerful Eastern and rolled to
a 25 - 6 win. That immediately
established Blair as the team to
beat in the county and Spring
brook did it Immediately. The
Blue Devils upset the Blazers
14 - 13.
Einstein scored Its Uth
straight victory before running
into Springbrook on Sept. 21.

By this time Roy Lester’s
Rockets were being noticed.
RMHS was, according to Les
ter, “in a building year. We
should not get above fifth place
in the league."
But the Rockets raced to
four victories in September and
knocked off Springbrook in a
big game for win number four.
That streak continued all year
with only a scoreless tie by
Walter Johnson spoiling a per
fect season, the third in five
years for Lester.
The title came on the last
day of the season when the
Rockets defeated an inspired
Wheaton team, 12 - 0. Wheaton
had overcome Injury and upset
to claim a chance for the title. [
