Dallas suffers defeat
: by Jon Jay LaBerge
The Trojans of Nanticoke
Area rallied with three touch-
downs in the second period to
beat the Dallas Mountaineers
27-21 last Saturday night at
Nanticoke’s stadium. .
Dallas got the ball on the
opening kickoff and moved 46
yards in four plays, but were
stopped on the Trojan 26 by a
fumble. Four plays later,
Dallas’ big tight end, Ray
Goeringer, covered a Nanticoke
fumble to regain possession for
the Mounts. Midway through
the first quarter, Ray Kuderka
plunged over from the two to
> ca 35 yard seven play drive
for¥Dallas’ first touchdown.
Kostrabola added his first of
three consecutive conversions
to make the score 7-0.

The Wyoming Area Warriors
of Coach Tom Vaxmonsky, kept
their winning streak of 7-0 by
runing through the Black
KniWits of Lake-Lehman by a
score of 36-12. The Warriors dis-
played very tough ball control
on oe slippery playing field
at West Pittston stadium Friday
night.
The Knights found it hard to
control Langan, an outstanding
Warrior running back who
scored three of their five touch-
downs with runs of 15 yards, 41
yards and one yard.
Scoring came very early in
the first period for Wyoming
Area. When the Knights could
not move the ball in their first
series of downs for the night,
Newhart punted, getting it to
their own 47. The first down of
the series found Warrior John
Smith running the whole length
of the field for the first and dis-
couragingly early tally against
the Knights.
/ Langai found some running
roorp with 4:50 left in the first
2 oeier, scoring a TD-on a 41
yard scamper for the Warriors.
On both these tallies the conver-
sions were good and kicked by
Pace.
At this point in the game it
looked as if the Warriors were
goin to blow the Knights right
off the field, but some costly
mistakes on their part encour-
aged the Black Knights. In the
very beginning of the second
period, Knight Charlie Evans
picked up his first of two fumble
recoveries from Wyoming. The
loose ball was snagged by
Evans at the L-L 15. The
Knights then trampled 85 yards
with the passing of fieldmaster
Tony Stevens and the running of
Bob Engle. The last of this
series saw Bill Kern hitting
paydirt on a Stevens’ four yard
pass play. The conversion at-
tempt was in vain, tallying the
score at 14-6. (It is interesting to
note here that Wyoming did not
get gpirst down until about one
minut left in the first half des-
pite their good control.)
The Knights kicked-off to the
Warriors in the opening of the
second half. It was taken by
Beg ini on the five yard line,
thus Yacing down the sideline
and missing many tackle at-
tempts by the Knights. With a
great deal of luck, he eluded the
! Knight attack and went all the
: way only to be called back by
the officials at the 27 yard line
where he stepped out of bounds.
Five plays later, Langan ran
the ball in from the one yard
line for his second score. with
9:30 left in the third quarter.
The two point conversion at-
tempt was good making the
' score 22-6.
Th@ Warrior boot to L-L was
onsid® and was picked up by
Wyoming on their own 37. The
Knight defense held them from
driving downfield and the War-
riors punted back to the
Knights. They were unable to
move the ball and were faced
with a fourth down punting
situation. Before the punt, the
snap went over the head of Rick
Newhart, and he was ditched on
the 15 yard line. Wyoming
gained control of the ball and on
the first play of this series,
Langan ran the 15 yards for his
last tally of the night. The PAT
was hit by Pace.
Not long after this Warrior
tally, another followed. When
the Knights fumbled the wet
and slippery football, Wyoming
regained control on their own
4 47. Two plays later, QB Pagli-
gis ~ arini ran the ball in on a keeper
r"
The Mountaineer defense led
by Mark Steele, Ray Kuderka,
and Ray Goeringer, forced
Nanticoke to punt on the next
series of downs. Dallas running
backs Kuderka Griffin, and
Engler took the ball 55 yards in
the next 12 plays where Engler
added Dallas’ second score of
the half on a two yard run.
On the following series, a 17
yard pass on a fourth down play
kept the Nanticoke drive alive,
and moments later Trojan
quarterback Greg Snyder threw
to Lukashefski for two yards,
and Nanticoke’s first score.
After a Dallas punt, Snyder
again went to the air and hit
Bargalla for a 58 yard scoring
pass. The conversion was
missed to make the score 13-14,
Dallas.
Knights bow

from the one yard line. The PAT
was good, making the score 36-
6.
The Black Knights of George
Curry, although down, did not
stop fighting. Their second and
final score of the game was the
result of another sensational
drive by Stevens and company.
The last of this series was an-
other Stevens to Kern toss from
the 14 worth six points’ with
about eight minutes left to play.
The two point conversion pass
was intercepted, setting the
final scoring at 36-12.
An outstanding fact of this
game is that while the Knights
suffered only 10 yards of penali-
zation, Coach Vaxmonsky’s ;
squad was set back 105 yards ;
total.
This was the second taste of
defeat for the Knights, setting
their record at 4-2. Their next
‘competition will be Nov. 7 a-
gainst GAR.

attempt for a two point con-
version failed when Moun-
taineer Ed Labatch batted down.

gave Nanticoke the ball on the
Dallas 26, but an interception by

ception by Ed Labatch, the
