Girls scrimmage
Robyn Jones, coach of
the Dallas High School
girls’ field hockey team
said her team had three
scrimmages during the
pre-season against three
strong teams, Strouds-
burg, Pleasant Valley and
Bangor.
“The girls played very
well,” Jones said. ‘‘This
year the majority of our
strength is up the middle
and any one of the girls is
able to score. We have
good depth this season.”

Rybak pleased

coach Ron Rybak was
pleased with his players’
performances in their
scrimmages against
Hazleton and Williamsport
the past two Saturdays.

“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.
