Dodgeball for Diabetes celebrated the ninth annual Dodgeball Tournament, crowning three champions for the Fall of 2012.

The tournament featured 48 teams comprising of over 314 players all of which came together to to have fun, while raising money for Juvenile Diabetes.

The tournament, designed to raise money for Juvenile Diabetes, collected over $11,600, marking the seventh straight year that over $10,000 was raised.

The championship teams included: Rookie Circuit- Harlem Globe Dodgers; Junior Circuit- Bow Down; and Senior Circuit- Dodge.0.

This year three teams made over an hour trek to participate in the event, traveling from Souderton. And for the second straight year, Martin Meylin Middle School, in the Lampeter-Strasburg School District, held its own fundraiser and donated to the event.

Locally one team raised over $1,000 on their own, and for their efforts, members of "Sweet Redeemers" received a bundle of dodgeball clothes and memorabilia.

In the Rookie Circuit, from a record field of 10 teams, the Harlem Globe Dodgers (7-0, 14-1) came out victorious with a win over Team Awesome (5-2, 9-4) in the finals. Little did they know at the time, the Harlem Globe Dodgers were starting a theme, a theme of undefeated champions.

Phil Headland didn’t sound like someone who was overly thrilled with his final time in the first annual Eye of the Tiger 5K race on Thanksgiving morning in Denver.

The results, though, could not have been any better.

Having built a 30-second lead on his next closest competitor, the 2012 Warwick High School grad easily ran away with top honors, crossing the finish line in 18:22. Peter Clark, 33, took home the runner-up spot in 18:52, followed closely by Darrell Rosenberger in 18:57.

The women’s winner wasn’t pushed either, as Steph Grimm, who placed sixth overall, opened up an an advantage of nearly two minutes on her way to winning the title in 19:34. Jess Gockley was second among the women’s runners in a time of 21:03.

It was Headland, however, who set the early pace and never looked back.

"I was OK with (my time)," said the 18-year-old Headland, whose fastest 8K time this fall with the Falcons’ cross country team was 28:23.52. "The first mile I took it out real hard and then just kinda looked around and saw there was no one with me, so I just kinda cruised it in from there."
