SOCCER TEAM OPENS ON FIRE
This year's team
got off to a great start in defeating the visiting Twin
Valley 4-1 and then blanking Exeter 3-0. This year's
team, with plenty of hard work and hustle, could
surprise plenty of people. Having plenty of enthusiasm
and optimism, this year's team can easily earn a
respectable league position.
Mr. Messner said of this year's team, "Everyone is
playing much better than anticipated. The team is
blending together well and if we continue to improve as
we have done in the last three weeks, we will have a
better season than expected."

October 1985 Penn Post
CURRENT STANDINGS
Currently, the
soccer team is in fourth place behind Fleetwood,
Kutztown, and Oley with a league record of 4-5-1. The
hockey team on the other hand, is in third place behind
Wyomissing and Daniel Boone with a league record of
4-5-1. The golf team finished third with a record of
6-4.

Motze From the
November 1985 Penn Post
SOCCER
The soccer team,
after jumping out to a quick 2-0 league start, lost a
couple games in a row to drop the league record to 2-4.
Our team has had very little success in non-league
games, losing every one. Mt. Penn has had a very
hard-working team this year, giving the better teams
tough, close games.
This year's soccer season had its ups and downs, and
its fair share of dramatically close games. The Mounts
league record ended up at 5-6-1. Next year's team will
have plenty of experience.
- Kerry Motze
From the
November 1985 Penn Post
SINGLE STANDOUTS
Even
though the soccer team did not win their division, they
still had individuals who were acknowledged for their
achievements on their respected teams.
Leon Pace who played striker and goalie
and Kerry Motze who played center half back were
both selected to the Berks All-County team honorable
mention. Congratulations to these athletes for their
achievements and hope that the teams will keep having
individuals who excel at each and every sport.

MOUNTS ARE ON THE BALL
This year the Mount Penn
soccer team has experienced an enthusiastic �break-through.� The
Mounts won two of their league games this season. The victories
were against the Exeter and Twin Valley High Schools.
Unfortunately, Fleetwood beat the Mounts in a 4 to 1 battle. The
Mounts have 2 wins and 2 losses in the Berks County League and
have 4 wins and 2 losses over all.
Mr. Messner, the head soccer coach, feels that the
Mounts are doing very well, and he believes that they will hold
their place against most of the other soccer teams.
Although the Mounts lost three starters (Jeff Motze,
Jack Evans, and Kevin Epler) this year, Mr.
Messner feels the team has a very strong defense. The offense is
a bit weaker because of many injuries, such as the ankle injury
sustained by Dave Werner. Mr. Messner thinks that
the Mounts are playing as a team this season and will contribute
to many more wins this year. Although the Mounts are on the
right track, Mr. Messner believes there is still room for
improvement and the need for more playing time.
Disappointingly, the J.V. soccer team hasn�t been doing
as well. The reason may be a lack of experience of the
individual players.
Mr. Messner likes the fact that more people are
interested in playing soccer and hopes the interest will
continue in the future.

SOCCER
This season there were some surprises for the Mounts. The
biggest surprise was the tic score against Oley, because Oley
had previously beaten the undefeated Fleetwood Tigers. The
Mounts went into the game ready to play and psyched. They really
shocked the visiting Lynx.
Mr. Messner, the head coach, feels the team had a very
good season despite the number of losses.
In the beginning, the team didn�t have a goalie.
Leon Pace
volunteered to fill the position. This year he did an
outstanding job and will be back next year.
Next year, the Mounts will lose many senior starters
They are Joe Boyle, Dave Werner, Tom DiGiacomo,
Todd Ringler, Matt Elvin, Dave Chlebowski,
and Tom Schmitz. They are losing many starters, but next
year they will still put up a good fight. Despite the loss,
there will be a great number of players returning.

also participates in volleyball and baseball. On the
baseball field, he plays pitcher and left field.

This
issue�s outstanding athlete is Tom DiGiacomo.
Tom plays a major role in the Mount Penn athletics.
He most recently played as a member and one of the
captains of the soccer team. Because of Tom�s great
efforts and aggression, he also boosted the team�s
morale, leading them to many victories. Tom also
takes part in many other sport activities such as
volleyball and baseball. Since Tom is well known for
his great enthusiasm and pep, he can always be
counted on to cheer the boy�s basketball players in
the stands with his friends.

This issue�s most outstanding athlete is Joe
Boyle. During the Mount Penn Varsity soccer
season, Joe protrayed the important role of captain
and played the striker position on the field. With
his tremendous efforts and talent, he helped the
Mounts pull ahead against many other school teams.
Although he actively participates in other school
activities, he also finds time to keep statistics
for the Mt.Penn boys� basketball team. Joe has been
their manager during his four years at Mount Penn.
With an interest in first-aid, Joe acts as trainer
for the team by taking care of sprains and minor
injuries.
On the baseball field, he is well-known for his ability
as pitcher. Because of his great agility on the
field and ability as a pitcher, he managed to
achieve MVP for Mount Penn last year. He portrays an
outstanding athlete with a great inspiration to his
fellow teammates.
