Wilkes-Barre Fats
Welcome Hazleton
*®
BY LEE L. RICHARDS
CLIPBOARD NOTES:
--Hazleton will be a welcome addition to the Wyoming
‘ Valley Football Conference. I chatted recently with
Coach Dale Stewart and he feels he’s got the Moun-
taineer program headed in the right direction. They
could be competitive in 1984.
--Remember former Lake-Lehman grid coach Tom
Hisiro?. I heard he was in the running for the recently-
filled Abington Heights job in the Big 11. It seams Tom’s
school in Western Pennsylvania reneged on some of the
promises it made and he wants out.
--Preposterous, is the only way I can describe Wilkes’
reasons for unloading roundball coach Jim Atherton. It
was strictly a humpty-dumpiy move. Let’s face it, he was
one of their own and they never gave him a chance (two
years) to get his own type of players involved in the
program. Jim's days were numbered since AD John
Reese didn’t want him in the first place. Wilkes’ whole
athletic program has suffered for the sake of the
wrestling program which hasn’t set the world on fire in
the EIWA or on a national level. The Colonels score a
handful of points at the NCAAs on a good year. Jim
Atherton had too much style for Wilkes in the first place.
--Why is Williamsport shot-down each year it applies to
the Wyoming Valley Conference? Maybe some local
coaches are ducking the competition the Millionaires
would provide?
--1 gotta believe it’s only a matter of time before we see
George Curry’s Berwick Bulldogs playing locally.
--Before anyone runs out and buys any championship
jackets for the 1986 Dallas basketball team, let's keep
things low-key. This Dallas freshman cage squad has
some ability. With Coach Clarence Ozgo getting the
program established, plus doing some coaxing and
shaping, the Mountaineers should become competitive in
time.
-Sorry to hear Lake-Lehman grid boss Mark Kirk is a
mite under the weather.
-One rumor making the rounds on the West Side has
Jim Fennell out as the Spartans’ head grid coach and Big
Lou Michaels coming in to pick up the reins. Every
spring the Fennell rumors seem to make the rounds.
--Received a call last week from coaching pal John
Brunner, formerly of the Detroit Lions. John is now
coaching in Green Bay with Bart Starr’s Packers.
--‘‘Coach Starr called me a couple of weeks ago and
inquired if I'd be interested in coming to Green Bay. I
went up for an interview and accepted on the spot,” said
Brunner.

Q
looking forward to working here. Starr is a class in-
dividual. If we can keep our folks healthy, we’ll have a
good football team. Injuries to some front-liners have
really hurt the Packers.”
John’s son, Scott, is the QB with the Giants. Big John
has never been one to brag, but he said, “Scott is getting
@reiier every year.”’ I'm elated with the success enjoyed
by both of the Brunners.
» ~I’'m heading to the NCAA Wrestling Championships in
®'Oklahoma City this week. I sure hope the Eastern
wrestlers hit their full potential and bring back some
hardware. I'll give you my impressions next wek.
--They hadn't played a game, but the oddsmakers
came out with a betting line for the USFL last week.
Taking with some NFL folks, most believe the new grid
loop is going to make it. I'd like to see it, simply because
there are a lot of good football players around.
