European Stars And Stripes (Newspaper) - November 5, 1987, Darmstadt, Hesse                                Thursday novembers 1987 the stars and stripes Page 21 pre Pickin s and foil sports fade into oblivion its the last big weekend for Dodds fall sports. Five football playoff games the big and Small schools volleyball tournaments and the Central euro Pean Cross country championships Dot the Agenda. After saturday there will remain Only the big and Small schools football championship games and four regular season eight Man football games in Italy on the fall sports program. On the Gridiron this week s Blue plate special is the first Ever Dodds quantic championship game. It matches Woodbridge against International school of Brussels in Brussels. Woodbridge and is both finished in a three Way tie in their respective leagues. Woodbridge beat its championship compatriots London and Croughton in the . Playoffs to gain its spot in the Sun. Is got there by a Point differential Between itself shape and accent. Shape Defeated accent by two Points accent toppled is by one and is came through with a five Point decision Over shape the Germany big schools playoffs Don t present the glitter they could have because both games will be re peat Battles. Ramstein which enjoyed a perfect 7-0 Reg ular season entertains Pitburg a team it beat on open ing Day. Heidelberg tries to avenge a 26-7 setback it suffered at the hands of Nuernberg in the third week of the season. Pitburg and Nuernberg tied for the a title but the eagles got the top seed by virtue of their head to head Victory Over the Barons. The pairings match the no. 1 team in one league against no. 2 in the other advice versa. In Small schools play Munich also sporting a 7-0record, entertains Berlin and Bamberg plays at Giessen. Both Bamberg and Giessen Are 6-1, each having lost Tough Bank to Munich. The big and Small schools semifinals miners clash next week for the respective titles. Last week s players of the week arc Giessen s Terry Donnell on offence and the is duo of Thad Brennan and Bob Bishop on defense. Donnell scored twice Andran for 135 Yards As the Griffins recorded their third straight league championship two outright and one shared with osterholz in running their a Central history Mark to 14-0-1. Brennan and Bishop had 17 and is tackles respectively As the raiders blanked shape which had been held to As Low As 20 Points Only once in seven previous games. That won them the Bennor berth in the Atlan tic regional title game. Wiesbaden s Jason Beko and Mannheim s Tiki Saurez probably rate As favourites in the Centra european Cross country championships at Munich this week but there Are quite a few other first class runners around who expect to throw serious challenges at them. Beko s toughest rival could be Munich s Ken Cramer despite a i9th-Pace finish in last week s Germany a regional. Cramer a newcomer from the states this fall had breezed through the regular season like Beko unscathed and virtually unchallenged. However he Shook off the effects of a bad cold and a fever and ran in the regional so he could qualify for the finals. Actually he would have qualified As a member of the winning team. However that was a Chance he could t take As favourites sometimes have bad Days and miss qualifying for championships. Other Topnotch runners standing Between Biko and the championship include Stuttgart s Zachary Jones Frankfurt s John Mcbride Fis s Sam Chamberlain Wei Bruecken s Kerry Mazingo and Tom Clarke Wurzburg s Chris Kam Hahn s Tyler Peterson of cents Brian Coan and John Illian Vilseck s Tim Zacharias Augsburg s merry Gerhard and Munich Dennis Beard. Saurez s prime challengers Are expected to be Stutt Gart s Juli Cyrus Heidelberg s Michelle Ramos Ramstein s Amy Campbell Patch s Jennifer Noyes shape s Candace Barry is s Amy Franklin Munich s Christy Lovretta and Penny Steichen and Vil Seck s Brigitte Metzger. Team trophies will be awarded to the first three finishers in both the big and Small schools  will be no official Overall Champion according to Dodds Germany sports coordinator Tom Leblanc. Because Only the top two teams in each regional qualified for the Central europeans the team awards Are ludicrous because there Are Only four Hoys and four girls teams out of a possible 28 who have a Chance to win big schools accolades and Only eight of 38 with a shot at the Small schools accolades. The Central europeans should be strictly an Endeavor of individuals. One team lost its first game and two wingless squads broke into the Victory column for the first time in regular season finales to kill the bid for a perfect prediction record last week. Is s win Over shape was one of those game which could have gone either Way and it went the unexpected for me at least route. However Oster Holz s Conquest of Berlin and Alconbury s win Over London definitely did t go by the Book and i Roundup with a 17-3 Mark. There were actually 22 games but i read the wrong line in the Italy schedule and picked the wrong games. I would have picked Aviano and Vicenza Gold but you can t use would haves can you the 17-3 log gives me a 117-38 record a .755  week s picks Are Woodbridge 12, is 6 Ramstein 24, Pitburg 20 Heidelberg 27, Nae Raberg 14 Giessen 27, Bamberg 19 Munich 28, Berlin 12 Naples Green 44, Naples while 28 Vincnza Gold 44, Vicenza White 34 my picks for the Naples and Vicenza Intra school games arc identical to last week s picks. After conclusion of the Woodbridge win Over Croughton in the . Championship football game i took in the . Volleyball championship match Between ironically the same two schools. It was an exciting Battle with Croughton prevailing in the third game against a Woodbridge combination. That had fought through two losers bracket Battles be fore taking on the a adits for the title. The volleyball has improved tremendously the last few years Dodds Allan tic sports coordinator Bill Elstran said after the match. These girls have so much More Talent compared to just a couple years ago. They re doing everything so much better blocking setting spiking playing defense. It s an entirely different game now because All the teams have improved so much. In the past one or sometimes two teams generally dominated. Now any team can beat any team on a Given Day. In fact it looked for a while like wooden dec was going to stage a great comeback and Force an if necessary  As it has in the ., the volleyball in Ger Many and the Bennor has improved immensely with each year s play.
