WILKES-BARRE FATS ~ by Lee L. Richards Football season is still a couple of months away, but last week we discussed our favorite sport with Pitt Coach Jackie Sherrill. He was in the area for the Panthers’ annual spring press day, an event we helped get off the ground several years ago. Coach Sherrill confided the Panthers will have a “very good” football team this season. They return 44 lettermen and 13 starters from a team which lost to Penn State, 17- 10, very late in the final canto. “It hasn’t been easy at Pitt,” he says. ‘There was some pressure after the National Championship. I’ve got to feel what we've accomplished in the last two years has helped our situation. We’ve sustained the program on a winning level. I gotta believe we’re ready to get back in the elite of football. That's where we belong.” Jackie made a point to let us know his team will be predominantly juniors. He’ll take a veteran club to Knoxville, Tenn., next season when the Panthers go against former Coach John Majors’ UT Vols. Meanwhile, Pitt expects to challenge Penn State for the Crown in Eastern football. The Panthers have some talented personnel. Hugh Green has few peers in the game at defensive end. Coach Sherrill feels he’ll play even better this year. Green will be a junior. leather, newcomer Randy McMillan made the biggest impact on spring practice. “We knew Randy was a good football player,” Sherrill said, ‘‘but he’s added a new dimension to our offense. He’s a big youngster (6-2, 225) with 4.6 speed in the 40. He can run inside and out. He had an outstanding spring.” McMillan is a JC transfer. Pitt’s schedule isn’t real tough. They have Kansas, North Carolina and Washington. These teams are capable of extending any team. They also have tilts with the usual eastern clubs which lack the speed to beat the Panthers. Navy is always a threat. I’ve got a hunch Pitt will stroll into its showdown with the Nittany Lions 10-0. What has impressed us about Pitt after looking at them on film is the improvement of the offensive line. I'm not Red Sox win The Shavertown Red Sox of Division I of girls soft- ball recorded their third win of the season by beating the Lehman Astros, 6-1 on June 6. Both teams played a tight defensive contest with the score tied at 1-1 for the first four innings. Then the Red Sox offense exploded for five runs accounted for by Michelle Wallace, Beth Luksic, and Marlyn Wisnieski, who chalked up her second home run for this year. Scoring .a run for the Astros was Kay Cordick. Pitchers were Marlyn Wisnieski for the Red Sox and.Sue Bonsavage for the Astros. even considering the bowl loss to N.C. State. There was a lot of hooplz over Penn State’s fine recruiting year and rightfully so. But we kinda agree with Jackie the Panthers didn’t do that bad either. When we talked about recruiting, he did mention that not many gave a true evaluation of Pitt's signees. We did! pal Jerry McCoin, publisher of Athlon Football Magazines, last week to help him select an AIl-EWAST PRE +SEASON COLLEGIATE TEAM. After going over some of our records from last season, we believe we came up with a talented group of players. McCoin’s Eastern Football will be on the local news stands around the middle of July. --Our congratulations to the Lake-Lehman school board on its selection of Roger Bearde as the Knights new roundball coach. Like we've said here previously, Roger is the man to get the job done. --Gil Tough had on one of the wildest golf shirts I’ve ever seen Saturday. It was blue with a white cross on the front. On the back in large white letters was ‘‘blue cross.” Gil said it was in case any golfers needed help! Our game is ready for help. --McCoin informed us that in assessing the college crop around the country for his All-American selections one name which frequently was mentioned is Auburn’s Frank Warren. He’s 6-6, 281 pounds. Warren’s only problem | is playing with consistency. + U.S. Open Golf Championship is this weekend and we're looking forward to seeing the pros tackle the dif- ficult roughs and slick putting surfaces. I’ve got a hunch Jack Nickluas will shake his slump for this one and be right in contention. Hal Irwin always plays the tough courses well, too. --Bob Rogers is one of the top candidates for the football head coaching post at West Side Tech. The Whips at Tech still haven't selected a new coach, which has to make it very tough for the new man. --Don Stevick informs us this Saturday’s 12th Masonic Golf Tourney will have a banner field and the committee has a bunch of outstanding prizes for the participants. We're looking forward to teeing it up. It’s one of the best tournaments held at Irem Temple Country Club. --Appreciate the help Jackie Sherrill, Pitt’s grid coach, gave us in compiling our list of high school prospects for the coming year around the East. It already looks like a --It was amusing how Hanover baseball coach Bob Aston took a lot of heat from some fans early in the season. He only led the Hawks to a championship and was voted coach of the year laurels by the local baseball coaches. Way to go coach! --Dunmore must feel its been snake-bit by the Wilkes- Barre schools. The Bucks lost to GAR in the eastern title game and to the GAR roundball team in the District 2 finals. Then last week Coughlin topped them in baseball in another title tilt.
