Muhlenberg McDaniel Football Game

November 4th, 2006

Above: The bottom picture is a “mural” of the college campus from West Main Street, from approximately 1906. The middle picture is from approximately the 1920s and depicts the Geiman farm buildings that used to exist just to the north- northwest side of what we now know as the grandstand. The top photo is of the football field as viewed looking west from the main campus. This photo is also, maybe, from the 1920s.

McDaniel tops Muhlenberg 22-19 in home finale

Box Score

WESTMINSTER, Md.Brad Baer (Westminster, MD/Westminster) completed 18 of 28 passes for 194 yards, including a pair of touchdowns, to lead McDaniel to a 22-19 victory over Muhlenberg in Centennial Conference (CC) football action on Saturday.

Baer also ran for a team-high 80 yards for the Green Terror (4-5, 2-3 CC), who got scoring catches from three different receivers.

Eric Santagato completed 21 of 33 passes and ran for both scores for the Mules (4-5, 2-4 CC), who lost to McDaniel for the 11th consecutive season.

Trailing 19-14 at the end of the third quarter after Santagato capped a nine-play, 42-yard drive with a three-yard touchdown run, the two teams traded three-and-outs before the Green Terror put together a methodical game-winning drive.

Taking over at its own 27, Baer completed a six-yard out pattern to Matt Gingrich (Rockville, MD/Magruder) and used his feet to scramble for another nine, setting up first down at the McDaniel 42.

After a seven-yard completion to Christian Turner (Baltimore, MD/St. Paul’s) and the sixth Muhlenberg sack gave the Green Terror a third-and-8 from its own 44, Baer took off for an 18-yard run to set up first down at the Muhlenberg 38.

After four straight completions moved McDaniel inside the 20 and facing fourth-and-1, the Green Terror elected to go for it.

Tom Develin (Boyertown, PA/Boyertown Area) went for three yards off the right tackle to move the chains.

After a one-yard completion to Gingrich and timeouts by each team, Baer found Matt Bergbauer (Westminster, MD/Westminster), who caught five passes for a career-high 110 yards,for a 15-yard touchdown to put McDaniel on top, 20-19.

Baer hit Gingrich for the two-point conversion for a 22-19 lead with 5:46 to play.

On the ensuing kickoff, Jay Leonard’s (Westminster, MD/Westminster) squib kick went off the foot of one of the Muhlenberg front-line players, allowing Ryan Sheahin (Frederick, MD/Frederick) to jump on the ball and give the Green Terror possession once again.

After three runs netted just six yards but chewed up 2 minutes, 18 seconds, Tom Wenrich’s (Wernersville, PA/Conrad Weiser) 43-yard punt pinned the Mules at their own 2.

Muhlenberg used the seven plays to move the ball out to its own 27 before Bobby Waugh (Hagerstown, MD/North Hagerstown) picked off Santagato to seal the victory.

On the Green Terror’s second play from scrimmage, Baer broke a 59-yard run to move his squad deep into Mule territory.

After two more Baer rushes and a four-yard pass to Turner moved the ball from the 27 to 11.

On first down, Baer lateralled the ball wide to Brett Gibson (Felton, DE/Dover), who found Chris Martin (Clarksville, PA/River Hill) in the back corner of the end zone for the senior’s first reception of the season.

Pinned deep its own territory on its next possession, Joel Haddock broke through the line to block the punt, which rolled out of the back of the end zone for a safety to pull Muhlenberg within 7-2.

The Mules opened the second quarter with a 13-play, 56-yard drive that Timothy Hughes capped with a season-long 42-yard field goal to pull his team within 7-5.

A Drew Abbamonte (Damascus, MD/Damascus) interception and 24-yard return gave McDaniel possession on Muhlenberg side of the field.

On third-and-6 from the 43, Baer hooked up with Bergbauer for a 42-yard gain, setting up first-and-goal from the one-yard line.

On second down, a 20-yard sack pushed the Green Terror back to the 21.

On the next play, McDaniel sent the field-goal team on the field, forcing Muhlenberg to take a timeout.

Out of the timeout and with 15 seconds on the clock, the Green Terror elected to send the offense back onto the field. After an encroachment penalty moved McDaniel to the 16, Baer found Gingrich on the fade to put the hosts on top 14-5 entering the break.

Santagato engineered a 13-play, 72-yard drive to open the second half, calling his own number to cap the march with a four-yard run.

In addition to his fourth interception of the season, Abbamonte led the McDaniel defense with 18 tackles and a pass breakup. Anthony Catucci (Davidson, MD/Archbishop Spalding) also reached double figures with 10 stops.

Matt Johnson led the Mules on the ground with 92 yards rushing. David Mazzola, Matt Rathbun and Billy Moates each had eight tackles to pace the defense. Tom Tarsitano added seven stops, including two for loss and 1.5 sacks.

The Green Terror, who will look to record its 500th all-time victory and avoid its first losing season since 1996, wraps up the 2006 season at Johns Hopkins on Saturday. Game time is 1 p.m.

20061031 A Baugher’s Halloween




The wait staff at Baugher’s in Westminster have fun with Halloween.

Finally posted November 2nd, 2006

Re: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EcxmfCSHfvk

We had dinner last Monday evening at Baugher’s and the wait staff was dressed up in Halloween costumes. They were a lot of fun.

Many things are changing in Carroll County but if you look hard enough, you can still find the fun of a small community and that is one of the things that make Westminster still a great place to live.

Please enjoy the short video in which they displayed their costumes in a variety of poses.
