Wyoming Valley Giants
To Sign New Coach
Officials of the newly formed
Wyoming Valley Giants football
team hope to be able to an-
nounce the signing of a coach
shortly after the Christmas
holiday.
General manager Tom Jones
said the team has been contact-
ed by many coaches and pros-
pective coaches, including some
from the Back Mountainarea.
“We want to sign the right
man, as the head coach can
make or break the team and is
vital to our organization,”’ Mr.
Jones stated.
At the same time, the general
manager issued an invitation to
former high school, college,
amateur, and other football
players who reside in the Back
Mountain region to contact him
football talent and the Giants
would be most interested in
having several players from the
locale in the lineup. Like a good
general manager should do, he
also noted that the Back Moun-
tain is a beehive of football in-
terest and that many hundreds
of fans from the region would be
followers of the new team pro-
vided there is Back Mountain
talent playing for the club.
Practice sessions are expect-
ed to get under way in late June
and the team hopes to be
playing an exhibition contest on
a Saturday night in July.
One of the possibilities open to
the Giants will be the staging of
clinics with coaches and players
at such places as Sandy Beach
at Harveys Lake or some other
or even in the
if they are interested in trying lake locales,
out for the Giants. Jones is sales
manager with Carpenter
Pontiac in Wyoming and may
be seen there daily.
The GM pointed out that the
Back Mountain region is rich in
Dallas region. With sports
action on the meager side in the
warm-weather months, area
grid fans would probably wel-
come a preview of the coming
gridiron season.

Despite Slow First Half
With an explosive third quar-
ter, the Dallas basketball team
rebounded from five points be-
hind at half to run away from
the Mohawks of Meyers by a
score of 87 to 64, last Friday
night at Meyers.
Poor shooting percentage
through the first accounted for
the Mountaineers’ slow start,
while Delaney and Schwab ran
the Mohawk attack by hitting
from the outside. Solid rebound-
ing from Greg Novroski, Cat
Wallace, and Tim Fannick kept
Dallas within nine during the
first half.
Opening with a full court
press in the second half, Dallas
quickly made up the five-point
margin and had opened a six-
point lead of their own before
Meyers could manage a score.
From that point on it was all
Dallas with Novroski and Fan-

Five players broke double
figures for Dallas with Fannick
high with 26, followed by Novro-
ski with 20, Riefenstahl with 13,
Delaney with 10, and Wallace
coming off the bench to add
another 10. Novroski dominated
the boards by collecting 25 re-
bounds and keying several
Mountaineer fast breaks.

only two of the Meyers squad
who could crack double figures
as they split 44 of their team’s 64
points.
The Mountaineers are now 2
and 1 in their exhibition season
and will face Nanticoke at Nan-
