Riefenstahl accounted for two
quick baskets and a foul shot to
put Dallas up by three, 64-61.
The rest of the game, Dallas
tried to control the ball and take
only the sure shots. Two layups
from the team’s leading scorer,
Greg Novroski, preserved the
win for Dallas.
Riefenstahl came out as the
game’s high scorer with 21. He
was aided by Wallace with 15,
Novroski with 12 and Fannick
with 10. This was Riefenstahl’s
first action since he was
sidelined by illness before
Christmas.
Radulski led the losers with
20. He was followed by Holup
with 18 and Albert and Peters
with 12 apiece.
Dallas has displayed a strong
bench by coming up with a
double figure substitute in each
of its last two games.
The J.V. game also resulted
in a Dallas win by the score of
63-53. The Mounts trailed much
of the first half, but they broke
the game open in the third
period as they ran their lead up
to 12.
With a 30-point first quarter,
Dallas opened up a 16-point lead
over the Hawkeyes of Hanover
and played even the rest of the
way to bring home a 92-76 win in
the opening night of the WVL
“B” competition. The game
was played before a packed
house at the Hanover gym.
The Mountaineers built their
lead to 22 at the half with Bob
Wallace and Greg Novroski
combining for 33 of Dallas’ 52
points.
Foul trouble, which forced
Mountaineer coach Cicon to go
to his bench, combined with a
tight press, cut the Dallas lead
to 12 at one point midway
through the third quarter.
Going into the final period, the
Mountaineers had reopened
their 16 point lead, 67-51.
The final quarter saw both
teams exchange baskets with
each team scoring 25 points to
make the final 92-76.
The Mountaineers, led by
Novroski with 32, Wallace with
23, Fannick with 13, and
Kostrobala off the bench with
10, were hampered by the lack
of room necessary to set up
their fast break type offense.
Yourren did most of the
Hanover scoring by hitting for
35 points. The 5 foot, 5 inch
guard paced the Hawkeye third
consecutive jumpers from the
top of the key.
The Dallas J.V.s, led by
Chuck Wilson, Chris Sharpe,
and Steve Meskers, put on a
third period rally to run away
with the game.
The standings of the “B”’
division are a rerun of last
year’s with three teams, Dallas,
Plains and Wyoming Seminary
tied for the lead at this point in
the season.
Dallas enjoys a bye Friday,
but will continue competition
next week when they face
Plains away Tuesday and arch-
rival Lehman at Dallas Friday.

Dallas Mountaineers put two
in the win column as they
outwrestled their opponenets in
the first two league meets of the
season.
Jim Bamrick’s grapplers
downed Coughlin Crusaders 36-9
last Wednesday in a home
match after two wins in
exhibition meets.
Konnick (95) started the ball
rolling by decisioning
Cavanaugh 9-0 in the opening
With Greg Novroski con-
trolling the boards and the
scoring column, Dallas cap-
tured the 1971 Wilkes-Barre
Invitational Tournament title
by defeating Meyers 69-43 in the
first round and Coughlin 70-61 in
the championship game. The
tourney was held recently at
Coughlin High School.
In the first game with
Meyers, Dallas ran into an
early lead and led 20-11 at the
quarter. Poor shooting per-
centage by Dallas as a team
was made up by Novroski’s
dominating board work which
gave Dallas two or three shots
at the basket each time down
the floor.
In the second half, Dallas
continued to increase its 17
point halftime lead as they went
on to win by 26.
Novroski ended up with 27
points, 14 in the second half. He|
was followed by Tim Fannick
with 14, and P.J. Delaney with
10. Bob Wallace was held to 4
points due to three quick fouls in
the first period.
Don Delaney led Meyers with
16 and Tony Schwab added
another 12.
In the championship game,
Coughlin was out to avenge
their exhibition season loss to
the Mountaineers. Bob Wallace
started off the Dallas offense
with three quick baskets from
the corner to open up a 6-2 lead.
Jack Boylan kept Coughlin
close for the rest of the half as
he hit for 18 points on eight field
goals and two foul shots.
Behind Boylan and Bill
Polacheck, Coughlin gained a
three-point halftime advantage,
36-33.
A switch to man-to-man in the
second half rewarded the
Mountaineers with the lead
which they maintained for the
remainder of the game.
[ Novroski continued his
dominating rebounding and
combined with Wallace and Tim
Fannick to supply the Moun-
taineers with their winning
offensive attack.
