PAGE SIXTEEN Lake-Lehman cagers dropped both' exhibition contests last week, losing 53-39 to Central Columbia and on Friday night going down to defeat 54-36 to Wyoming Valley West. “Our problem is that we need more aggressive offense,” said head basketball coach Rodger Bearde. “We're getting some good offense plays from Joe Kishkill but he’s the only consistent man in double figures. Our next is hitting in the singles column. help to us. Onzik needs to look for more shooting. His per- centage is pretty good but he’s not selective enough. Brian Yanchick is playing more defense and not shooting.” In the Knights game both teams had 37 at- tempts but both their field and foul shooting per- centage was very low. In the game with Valley West, ‘Bearde started a freshman, sophomore, junior and two seniors. A young team with no ex- perience. The two seniors had very little playing experience until this season. “We played a better Dallas High School girls basketball team played three games last week and won three.

These girls have a lot of character.” “Itook out our starters and then Old Forge rallied and I had to put our starters in,” said Karuza. “Old Forge is a young team but our second string doesn’t have a lot of experience and I couldn’t take a chance.” Kathy Walsh tossed in 23 points in the Old Forge game, 10 of those points in the first quarter. Walsh also led the Lady Mounts to their 54-46 win over Bishop O'Reilly on Tuesday on the O'Reilly court. Walsh tossed in‘ 20 points, nine goals from the field and two from the foul line. Judy Krispin dumped in 18 points, eight goals from the court and two from the charity stripe and Kerrie Lehon hit for six points.

The score was 24-23 with’ Dallas in front at half time but the Lady Mounts game against Valley West even though we lost,” said Bearde. “The boys are working hard and are in good spirits. They know they will earn a great deal of expereince before the start ‘of the league season.” : The Knights: are scheduled to play Wyoming Area at home Tuesday, then meet Tunkhannock away, Dec. 10. outscored the Queen- swomen 16-11 in the third quarter and 14-12 in the final period to take the game. “We're getting better as a team every game,’ said Coach Karuza. “We are discovering some of our weaknesses and working on improving them. We're starting to shoot better. One of problems is foul trouble but we're working on it. Judy Krispin and Kim Reese are excellent on defense. We use the press a lot. Krispin and Reese are one part of the press. Feeney and Walsh are in the second tier of the press. Colette Feeney has been doing a fine job at point guard. I expect some great games from these girls.” The Lady Mounts were scheduled to play Carbon- dale Dec. 7, then remain idle until next week when they are in both the Tunk- hannock and CYC Tournaments. In the CYC Tournament they play Meyers first. In the Tunkhannock Tourna- ment ‘they meet Tunk- hannock first. If they get past Tunkhannock, they could meet Bishop Hannon, another strong team.

Their defense was the key to the game for the Mountaineers as they shot only 27 percent from the floor. “The boys shut down Popson in the first quarter with a combination de- fense. He went scoreless in the period. The key to that was Tim Guzek who picked up four consecu- tive fouls right after the quarter ended. He had to sit out which hurt us,” said Dallas Coach Clint Brobst. Dallas led 16-7 in the first quarter but O’Reilly drew within three points by halftime. “With Guzek and Manusky out on fouls we were hurting,” said Brobst. ‘“‘he usually scores. in the . double figures. Dave Thomas +1 8cored 18 points and Mike Smith hit, for 18 but we needed those extra points we usually. get from Guzek. “It was an exciting game and the boys played one of the best games I've seen in a while. It was a moral victory, if there is such a thing, to play such fine team like O'Reilly.” Popson scored 12 of his 21 points in the second quarter after Guzek was out of the game and nine of them in the third quarter which turned the game around.
