Barons Earn First District Win in 10 Years

BY ERIC G. STARK

Manheim earned its first District Three girls’ volleyball win in 10 years, beating Octorara in three games on Oct. 28.

In a packed and loud gym at Octorara, the Lady Barons posted game scores of 25-23, 25-22 and 25-9 in the Class 3A tournament.

“Yeah, was just a big confidence thing for everybody,” head coach Jason Moyer said about the win. “They (the girls) just went nuts after the game; it was awesome. The bus ride home was just it’s crazy. ...You can look at the girls and see that they believe in themselves.”

The first game was very intense with the teams’ trading points. After taking the first game that came down to the wire, things unraveled a bit for the Barons in Game Two.

The Braves got into good momentum swing with some tough serving and the Barons got into a funk finding themselves down 14-4. Manheim chipped away at the lead and tied the score at 18-18 and then just pushed ahead and were able to pull it out.

“It took air out of the Braves,” Moyer said. “It was like us winning the Super Bowl. You could see they were defeated, giving up that lead. We won that last game 25-9. At the point, we were in motion, man, it was great.”

It was a team effort. Maddie Knier had 11 kills and four blocks. Emma Moyer and Rachel Nolt had seven and six kills, respectively. Moyer added four serving aces and Damon notched 12 digs. Grace Stoltzfus dished out 30 assists.

In the quarterfinals, the Barons face top-seeded Spring Grove Tuesday and suffered a 3-0 loss on game scores of 2518, 25-14 and 25-11.

“Our girls played well, but just could not keep up with all the weapons that Spring Grove has on their team,” Moyer said. “Spring Grove has a tremendous, well-balanced team.”

He said his rotational defense, which is unique, as it takes the line away from better hitters when they are hitting outside. The strategy worked early for the Barons, but Spring Grove made adjustments.

Damon had six digs and played great defense for the Barons, Moyer said. She was the team’s libero. He said Kneir blocked well and had nine kills. Natalie Seigrist finished with three blocks, Emma Moyer had six digs and Stoltzfus had two aces and 16 assists. The Barons finished the season with a 13-7 record.

CROSS COUNTRY

Barons’ coach Ryan Kennedy said the highlight of the day in the District Three girls’ cross country meet was Reagan Ibach, a freshman, who finished first on our team for the first time this season.

“I thought overall our athletes performed well,” Kennedy said. “It was an accomplishment for them to qualify as individuals for a meet that is becoming increasingly more difficult to qualify for.”

Ibach placed 127th overall with a time of 22:09. Jenna Mofett (22:17) was 135th, followed by Julie Lindberg (22:37, 152) and Olivia Sunderland (23:02, 170).

Michael Greenwald represented the boys, running an 18:49, good for 161 overall.

BOYS’ SOCCER

The Manheim boys’ soccer team suffered a 2-1 defeat to Hershey in the District Three Class 3A quarterfinal tournament last Thursday night in Hershey.

The Trojans, the No.1 seed in the tourney, had their hands full against Manheim, who finished the season with an 11-9 record. Hershey got on the board first, scoring two minutes into the contest on a goal by Ben Zimmer, an all-state midfielder.

Hershey, which had given up only six goals all year, gave up the tying score on a goal by Manheim’s Bradyn Dombach, who took a pass from teammate Gabe Redcay.

Hershey led 2-1 at intermission, but Dombach, 20 minutes into the second half, got his second goal of the contest, tying the game at 2-2. Zimmer notched the second goal and the game-winner for Hershey with about eight minutes to play.

FOOTBALL

With its win last Friday against Cocalico, the Barons notched their 27th championship in school history. Manheim, playing in heavy rain at Rettew Stadium, defeated the Eagles 42-20, forcing a three-way tie for the Section Two title with Warwick and Cocalico, all finishing with 4-1 records. The Barons scored 35-second half points to pull away from the Eagles.

Senior quarterback Judd Novak finished 7-for-13 for 108 yards passing. He also ran for touchdowns of 11, eight and 16 yards, respectively, gaining 105 yards rushing. Running back Justin Heffernan scored twice and collected 102 yards on the ground.

The Barons got on the scoreboard first when Owen Sensenig returned the opening kickoff 93 yards.

On the defensive side of the ball, Kahlen Watt, Nick Haas, and Novak played big roles in limiting the Eagles’ vaulted running game.

With a 9-1 record, Manheim drew the No.2 seed for districts and a first-round bye. They will host a game Nov. 12.

On Oct. 11, the Lancaster County Community Foundation announced the establishment of the High Foundation Fund at the Lancaster County Community Foundation. This new fund joins the Community Foundation’s Forever Lancaster movement, which aims to build the community’s philanthropic legacy.

The High Foundation Fund was established as a donor advised fund with a $65 million gift. The fund will allow S. Dale High and the High family to expand their philanthropic and community legacy and focus increased energy on creating impact in Lancaster County and beyond. Established in 1980, the High Foundation has spent the past 40 years living out the mission to improve the lives of individuals who live and work in Lancaster city, Lancaster County, and other communities where the High companies provide economic investment and employment.

Building on a long history of working together, High companies and the Lancaster County Community Foundation continue to prioritize strengthening Lancaster County for the long term. S. Dale High, chair of the High Foundation and chair emeritus of the High companies, served as board member and board chair of the Community Foundation from 2002 through 2006. His leadership spurred the organization to embrace a broader leadership role in the community and expand its purpose as a true philanthropic partner for Lancaster County.

Since that time, the High Family has established multiple funds with the Community Foundation, and the organizations have worked closely to support shared initiatives, including investments in SoWe and the Lancaster Cares COVID-19 Relief Fund.

Five years ago, High Foundation stepped into another leading role as a presenting sponsor of the Extraordinary Give. Its leadership gift, alongside funds from Rodgers & Associates and the Community Foundation, means that every dollar donated during the annual 24hour giving day is stretched to expand the benefit to the more than 500 participating nonprofit organizations.

The High Foundation team and board, led by Robin Stauffer, will continue to play an active role and advise on how the dollars from the donor advised fund are distributed and granted. As it does with all funds, the Community Foundation will provide philanthropic expertise, an extensive understanding of the local nonprofit landscape, and administrative and technical support.

Community Foundations across the nation partner with donors to create long-term impact in their communities. Locally, businesses like Cargas Systems and Armstrong Flooring; families that establish funds like the Polite Family Community Fund and the “Next Fifty Years” Geoff and Sally Davis Fund; and more than 500 individuals, families and businesses have charitable funds of all sizes at the Lancaster County Community Foundation.
