Mr. and Mrs. Edward Yanchik of Chase Manor have a right to be twice as proud. For they have twin sons, Craig and Chris, who participated in. and ex- celled in sports in high school and as freshmen at Luzerne County Commun- ity College this year, ex- celled in baseball. | Mr. and Mrs. Yanchik J are natives of the Nanti- coke area but moved to their present residence about 23 years ago. Their children, Edwin, the oldest; Craig and Chris; and Brian, seventh grade student, were born and raised in the Back Moun- tain. : Both boys were members of the Community College baseball team this season, Craig playing first base and Chris alternating at second and third base. The team, under Coach Al Cihocki, had an out- standing year ending with A ATR ER E16 an overall record of 13-6. They ended the season tied with Philadelphia Com- munity College for the Eastern Pennsylvania Community Athletic Conference championship but in a playoff on Saturday lost to the Philadelphia team 7-4 which placed them second. Craig is pursuing a degree in criminal justice and, after graduation from LCCC, will continue for a baccalaureate degree in that field. Chris is in general studies and al- though he plans to pursue a baccalaureate degree after finishing from LCCC is not certain in what field. Of one thing both are cer- tain, they plan to continue in baseball next season at the college. : The twins are identical in appearance and also think identically when it comes to sports. Both became ac- grade and in eighth grade played basketball. They were baseball players long before that, joining Little League at the age of eight. Later, they played in the Teeners League.

Basketball, football and baseball-throughout junior and senior high school, they excelled in all three sports but baseball was and is their first love. From the time they started to play, Craig usually pitched or played first base; Chris played some position in the infield. In ninth and 10th grade, Craig played first base and pitched at times and in 10th grade was named All- Scholastic. Chris usually played second base or shortstop. In 11th and 12th grade, Craig was a starting pit- cher for the Lake-Lehman varsity team under Coach John Comitz. He alternated games with another var- sity pitcher and in the games he was not on the mound, he played first. Chris played shortstop most of the time but on several occasions came in as relief pitcher. In their senior year, Chris carried a batting average of .533 and Craig averaged about .368.

Craig was named to the All-Scholastic foot- ball team when he was in 11th grade and both boys received honorable men- tion when they were in 10th. The twins also were selected to the Wyoming Valley Unico West Team in their senior year. They played under Coach Ray Caucci and Coach Rich Gorgone while in senior high school. Craig and Chris started to play basketball in eighth grade and played for two years as junior high stu- dents. Both alternated as guards and forwards. In senior high school, they played varsity basket- ball under first, Mike Sharok, Jr., and then Tim Lukachik. As they did in every sport, they excelled in basketball and were spark plugs of the teams. Did they inherit their athletic ability? Craig and Chris do not think so--they believe it came through support from their parents. “They always went to the games,” said Chris, or maybe it was Craig. ‘Most of the time the entire family was there.” This includes their older ‘brother, who also was an athlete. Edwin played baseball, basketball, foot- school went out for track. He is now married and living in the Lake-Lehman District area. Their younger brother, Brian, is a member of the Teeners baseball team and also played junior high basketball. He also played mini-league football. Leisure time interests- what else? Hunting and hunting and trout or bass fishing. They enjoy them all. Presently they are look- ing for employment for the summer. They have ap- plied in numerous places but continue to look. They: have no intentions of wait- ing until someone calls them. They will keep on looking and “it’s not easy’’ said one of them but don’t ask which one. It’s too difficult to tell who is who.
