Rybak Stresses
Participation
‘By LEE L. RICHARDS
In chatting with Dallas grid boss Ron Rybak last
week regarding his recent drills, I was delighted to
learn he encourages his players to participate in
other sports. That kind of coaching is becoming a
rarity around this area. It seems each coach wants
his particular athletes to dedicate themselves to one
sport.
Meanwhile, the athlete may want to do a little
wrestling, shoot some baskets, or play baseball.
That’s taboo. I feel if an athlete has the ability to
lay three sports, then let him go. Heck, no school
“around here has enough super performers that they
can’t use another solid player.
Rybak says his players had some very good
informal drill periods last month and he is somewhat
optimistic about the 1983 season.
“We’ll have some solid players again and we’ll
have some young people that will come along after
they get some varsity game experience. I feel we'll
be competitive again,” Rybak pointed out.
CLIPBOARD NOTES: Hazleton has a new wres-
tling coach. He is Norm Palovcisk, a former State
champ and Penn State wrestler. He has been
coaching at PSU’s Altoona Campus. I have known
“Stormin” for a few years and I am confident he will
continue the level of the Mountaineer program. He is
a tireless worker and has a lot of knowledge about
the proper techniques.
I must admit I got a mite excited over the All-Star
game last week. I was especially happy when Jim
Rice and Fred Lynn clouted homers for the Ameri-
can League. Why did the NL lose? Heck, when you
leave supers like Steve Carlton, Nolan Ryan, Pete
Rose and Steve Garvey home you deserve to get your
tails whipped. These four men are strictly winners. I
wouldn't be surprised if all four aren’t in Coopers-
wn someday.
Former Irem Temple Country Club Golf Associa-
tion prexy John Troup was at the Back Mountain
links over the holiday weekend. It was nice to see
John again. He is the manager of Wedgefield
Plantation Country Club in South Carolina and
presented many of his friends with golf hats and
towels. I can’t help but wonder if John left anything
back in the pro shop?
Congratulations to Dick Post and Howard Whitesell
for capturing the Irem Golf Association Cup last
weekend when they defeated Carl Blight, Jr. and Bob
Baur. It is one of those handicap events and the folks
with the high numbers usually triumph.
Several college grid magazines already on the
newsstands don’t have too much faith in the Pitt
Panthers for the coming season. Last season at this
time Pitt was being hailed as one of the top teams,
while this season some publications don’t even have
the Panthers listed in the top 20. Pitt has been ranked
in the top 20 for the past 11 years and I can’t imagine
the Panthers regressing that fast. I’ve got a hunch
Pitt will -make the final top 20. and participate in
another bowl!
. HAWKS SPLIT
After being trounced, 15-
7, by North Berwick Satur-
day, July 2, in a Tri-
County Baseball League
game, the Hawks split a
doubleheader with Nanti-
coke on July 4.
The losing hurler for the
Back Mountain Hawks was
Jim Michaels, who drove
out three hits to try to aid
the local nine. His efforts
combined with Ed Jano-
sik’s three RBI double,
Dave Kerdesky’s triple
and hits by Dwight Bar-
bacci and Dave Burnaford,
were in vain as the North
Berwick team were paced
by George Dimeo and Al
Steward, Sr.
The two Berwick men
combined for eight hits,
Dimeo driving out two
homeruns and Steward hit-
third. Dimeo
accounted for four hits and
Steward picked up three
besides his homer.
Aten was the winning
pitcher for the North Ber-
wick league leaders, strik-
ing out six men while
hurling the full game.
The Hawks defeated
Nanticoke, 5-3, in the open-
ing game of a double-
header on July 4 but went
down to defeat in the
second game as Mark
Davis led a 15-hit attack to
hammer the Hawks, 14-9.
Ron Rybak was the win-
ning pitcher in the first
game, striking out 11 and
walking only two.
Starting hurler Jim
Mahon took the loss for the
Hawks in the nightcap.
Mark Davis hit a home-
run for Nanticoke for four-
out-of-five at the plate.
Dave Kerdesky and Jano-
sik drove out homerun for
the Hawks.
A big seven run second
inning played the major
role in winning the second
The Hawks staged a four
run rally in the bottom of
the seventh inning but
were stopped cold by the
Nanticoke nine.
LEGION LOSES TWO
South Wilkes-Barre
Mountain Legion team in
four of the first five
innings to take a 7-4 lead
and held on the remainder
of the game giving up only
two runs in the bottom of
the sixth and taking the 7-6
win.
Coach Bob Monk’s nine
took a 2-1 lead in the
bottom half of the first
inning when Tim Grove
led off with a single, then
scored on Steve Federici’s
one-out double. Federici
stole third and came home
on Jerry Rollman’s sacri-
fice to the outfield.
The Back-Mountain nine
scored two runs in the
third and tried to pull off a
win in the bottom of the
sixth when they scored two
more runs on Grove’s
double that scored Tom
Davis and Clarke Lewis
but Zupa’s sparkling pitch-
ing stopped the rally.
In their July 7th game,
the Back Mountain boys
were pounded by Plains
and went down, 12-4. The
win gave Plains a 19-5
record, putting them
behind North Division
leader Pittston by only two
games.
Back Mountain’s down-
fall was three double plays
by Plains. Tim Grove
drove out a triple and a
double for the local nine
and went two-for-two at
the plate. Chris Wargo
also knocked out a double
for the Back Mountain.
Clarke Lewis, losing
hurler for the Back Moun-
tain nine, fanned three and
walked four while Plains’
Marykwas struck out
seven and walked eight.
The loss dropped the
Back Mountain to 8-7, in
third place in the North
Division behind Plains.
