On the distaff side, Coach Ron

games and lost six, but that doesn't
mean that Gerlufsen doesn't remain
optimistic about Ram chances in the
future.
In the past week, Shepherd was
defeated by Gannon College in Erie,
Pa., 64-48. Top scorer for the Rams
was Rob Leavitt with 11 points.
Then a visit to Wheeling College for
a WVIAC contest brought the same
results as Wheeling posted a -70 deci-
sion over the Rams. Bobby Chuey was
the lone Rams player in double
figures. He had 20.
Shepherd returns home Monday
evening for another WVIAC contest,
with West Liberty, at Sara Cree Hall.

Johnson Wins Hub-City (00Ti!assic at Md. Oval
HAGERSTOWN - Johnson captures
Quaker State Hub-City 150.
Davey Johnson of Imperial, Pc.
showed why he is the leading late
model feature winner in the area by
winning the Quaker State Hub-City 150
at the Hagerstown Speedway Sunday
afternoon. After being postponed due
to rain for three consecutive weeks,
the 14th running of the Hub-City is
finally in the record books with
Johnson the first driver to win the
event back-to-back. The win was
worth $10,320 for Johnson including
$2,320 in lap money.
Running a smooth methodical race
in the Ray Callahan Bullitt
Chassis/Gaerte Engine/Hoosier
Tire/Phils Towing Special, Johnson
picked off cars at a slow pace after
starting the chase in 14th spot. Johnson
broke into the top five on the 14th tour
and worked his way to second by the
23rd lap. Johnson gained the lead from
Buddy Arrnel right before the first fuel
stop on lap 49 and led the rest of the
way in the most exciting Hub-City
event in its 14 year history.
"Everything worked just great,"
said Johnson in victory lane. "The
track was super smooth and it just
kept getting faster and faster."
Butch McGill of West Union, WV
grabbed the early lead from his pole
starting spot and led the first 20 laps
as a fierce battle three and four wide
between Mike Balzano, Buddy Armel,
Rodney Franklin and Cubb Frank was
taking place. On lap 15, Davey
Johnson joined the battle as Balzano
and Armel began to preeeeeeeeessure McGill
for the lead.
Armel gained the lead on lap 21 and
three laps later Johnson was in the
runner-up spot as Balzano, Franklin,
McGill continued their battle. Four
laps later, Balzano pulled even with
Johnson and regained second on the
next time around. On lap 34, Armel,
Balzano, Johnson and Franklin were
four abreast fighting for the lead.
Armel held onto the top spot, but
Johnson was back in second on lap 37
only to have Balzano take it back on
the next circuit. Johnson came right
back two laps later for second and
began his chase for Armel. With two
laps remaining before the first fuel
stop, Johnson began to pressure Armel
and on lap 49, Johnson was in the lead.
Johnson controlled the second 50-lap
segment, but the battle for second on
back was exciting as the first third of
the race. After going to the rear two
times for pit stops in the first 50-laps,
Gary Stuhler moved into the top five
on lap 51 to battle with Balzano, Armel
and Franklin. The four drivers battl-
ed each other as if it was the final lap
with Armel holding second, Balzano
third, Stuhler fourth and Franklin
fifth. The four drivers never let up as
they fought each other for the runner-
up spot and the opportunity to try to
catch Johnson who began to open some
daylight over the rest of the field.
On lap 70, Tom Peck joined in and
all five drivers were even going down
the backstretch five wide. For the next
five laps, Armel and Balzano were
even for second and Stuhler and Peck
were side-by-side right behind. By lap
80, they were back in single file with
Armel still holding onto second.
On lap 85 Stuhler began to make his
move as he worked his way into third
and on lap 92 he was around Armel for
second. But once in second, Stuhler
had his work cut out for him as
Johnson had opened a five second lead
which he held until the red flag was
waved for the second fuel stop on lap
100.
With lapped cars in the field on the
restart, Johnson was able to open a 2.5
second lead by the time that Stuhler
cleared the traffic on lap 119. A cau-
tion with 10 laps remaining wiped out
Johnson's three second lead and gave
Stuhler one last chance. Johnson pro-
ved to be too much as he cruised home
two seconds in front of Stuhler.
Following Stuhler was Peck who
started 13th with Balzano finishing
fourth after running in the top five the
entire race. Fifth went to Franklin
with Jeff Robinson sixth and Buddy
Armel seventh. Rodney Combs was
eighth one lap down with McGill and
Chuck Teets rounding out the top ten
two laps down.
Taking the lead on the eighth lap,
Lynn Geisler of Compolis, Pc., won the
25-lap Teddy Marketing/Hamill
Enterprises Race of Champions.
Representing the Pennsylvania Motor
Speedway, Geisler started seventh and
won by two seconds over Chub Frank.
Geisler picked up $1,840 for the win.
Burch McGill, Ben Miley and Nathan
Durboraw rounded out the top five.
In the hard fought battle, track
champion Wayne Walls of St. Thomas,
Pc. edged Les Hare in the 30-1ap cham-
pionship race for the limited late
models. It was Walls' 10th win of the
season. Hare led from the drop of the
green as Walls worked his way from
his 10th starting spot to second by the
fifth lap. Walls stayed on Hare's
bumper until lap 19 when he gained the
upper hand and led the rest of the way
holding off a last lap challenge by Hare
at the end. Third through fifth were
Marvin Winters, Nathan Durboraw
and Robby Garlock.
Brad Omps of Winchester, Va. won
the 20-lap Roadrunner feature.
