We have good depth this season.” The Lady Mountaineers meet Wyoming Seminary in the opening league game this Thursday. Rybak pleased Dallas High School grid coach Ron Rybak was pleased with his players’ performances in their scrimmages against Hazleton and Williamsport the past two Saturdays. % shorts— “The kids did far better than I expected in both scrimmages,’’ said Rybak. “Williamsport is a strong team and our kids were able to move the ball all over the field. We scored once and Williamsport kids didn’t score at all. “We need to do a lot more work on the mental. aspect before we open with Crestwood on Sept. 3 at 2 p.m.” Changes made “We have a lot of work ahead of us this week to be ready for Saturday’s game with Tunkhannock,” said Lake-Lehman’s grid mentor Mark Kirk. “I’m really surprised at the lack of leadership among our five seniors. After two weeks of hard practice and two scrim- mages, the coaching staff has done a careful evalua- tion and I have made some changes in my starters for the opening game next Saturday. I will have five sophomores in the starting lineup. “We have a young team and it is going to take time to get them on the right road.” Schoolboy football underway . By LEE L. RICHARDS Scholastic football and college football swings into action this weekend and it promises to be an interesting year on both fronts. Locally, Coughlin and GAR were the powers last season. Coach J.P. Meck will have a most competitive club again. “We'll have a team which is capable of winning another title with a break or two along the way. We don’t have as much experience in certain positions as we'd like, but we could develop into a formidable team after several games,” says Meck. GAR, under Coach Charlie Fick, has dominated the double A and the Grenadiers will be awful difficult to move off its throne this time around. Fick claims, “We’ll have more depth than last year and we have the potential to be a good football team. However, our best days are ahead of us as we only have five seniors. We can’t expect to have the year we did last season, simply because we lost too many outstand- ing athletes, but we’ll be ready to play.” Dallas and Lake-Lehman could post winning ses if things fall into place and both teams don’t get a lot of® people put out of action with injuries. Dallas Coach Ron Rybak was pleased with some facets of the Mountaineers’ clash with Hazleton recently. LB Greg Manusky demonstrated he has the potential to be a very solid performer on both sides of the football. Another effective player was Ed Fedro defen- sively. Both youngsters chased the ball well and made some tough hits. Dallas will have a good test with Crestwood as Coach Sam Elias is giving the Comets a solid program. “Coach Elias has definitely upgraded the Crestwood program,” Rybak pointed out. “While we haven’t seen Crestwood and they haven't seen us, Coach Elias and I will exchange scrimmage films and build our game plans around what we each take off the films.” Rybak has some additional coaching help this season and I’ve been hearing some positive comments. Billy Silvi, who worked with the Crusader program at Coughlin is working with the QBs. Billy was a fine passer during his schoolboy days at Plains. Another newcomer is former Valley West star, Chuck Suppon. Chuck played at Wilkes and is a capable coach. The always reliable George Dombek is handling the linemen. “I’m delighted with my staff overall,” Rybak said. Meanwhile, Coach Mark Kirk has been putting the Black Knights through alot of running and expect to have an alert and quick team line up this weekend against Tunkhannock. { “We've been going along slowly. Our conditioning is improve in certain areas we could be respectable,” sai the second year Lake-Lehman Coach. 4 John Williams has improved at QB, while Chris Wargo appears to be the chief running threat. Leading the defense will be LB Bill Norris, DE Marty Onzik and Chris VanGorder. | Two youngsters who have been impressive and who have won starting jobs are junior tackle Ed Gavlick and sophomore nose-guard Chris Kukosky. Kirk is hopeful that all of the running will pay dividends down the road. His team is lacking in overall size which is nothing new for Lake-Lehman followers, | but Kirk is looking to make up for the size with speed. Kirk and his staff are working with around 40 some players and this could be a plus as much youngsters are getting involved in the program. CLIPBOARD NOTES: Here are our top five as we enter the season: 1-Coughlin, 2-GAR, 3-Wyoming Area, 4-Valley West, 5-Pittston Area. I can’t help but wonder what the big deal is at the Pan-Am games over the use of steroids? I'd venture to . say that 95 percent of all the top collegiate football teams in this country pump their linemen with them. Remember a few years ago the big controversy in New York over QB Matt Robinson of the Jets and hoy he was supposed to be more versatile than Richard Todd? What ever happened to Robinson? Chuck Williams, whom many considered the top lineman in Pennsylvania last season, will be lost to Pitt for the year with an injury. Speaking of Pitt, the Panthers face a critical test Saturday night when they visit Tennessee to take on Coach John Majors’ Vols. Majors has been pointing for this game since he walked off the field at the Peach Bowl last December. Vols’ strength is offense and Pitt’s is defense. It should be a good matchup. Bucky O’Neil will again serve as chairman of the Annual Wilkes-Barre Fats Invitational Golf Classic to be held on Sunday, Sept. 25, tentatively for Irem Temple Country Club. John Kennedy will again serve as Special Events Coordinator, while John Voshnak heads the finance committee. Irem Temple golfers captured the Pro-Am at Water Gap Country Club last week with a six-under par 66. Playing with pro Barry Fies were Chet Blazick, Ray Ceceoni and Ed Rome. This is the first time in two years an Irem team has won low gross honors.
