Wilkes-Barre Fats

My pal EndZone searched all
over last week trying to buy a
ducat for that titanic battle
between mighty Penn State and
‘powerful’ Brown and there
were none for the asking!
This weekend Kicks off the
bowl season when the third
annual Obnoxious Bowl is held
at University Park, PA between
Penn State and Notre Dame,
two of the braggingest group of
fans in college football. The
Nittany Lions a
will be shooting
for their third
straight over
Gerry (Farce)
Faust’s rah-ra
lads from Sout
Bend. State’
Sports Informa
tion Director,
Dave Baker, is
this year’s Grand
Marshal.
Elsewhere, West Virginia’s
reign as ‘Beast of the East’
didn’t last very long. It was
predicted here the Mountaineers
would go down to the Nittany
Lions and Miami.
Boston College’s Doug Flutie
demonstrated last week why I
selected this dynamite per-
former as my All-East field
general. He’s simply a winner
and is a remarkable QB. I'm
delighted he’s only a junior so I
can watch him again next
season.
Joe Drapiewski has to be one
of the biggest grid fans in the
Back Mountain. He’s been to
college games at Boston College,
Maryland and last weekend
RICHARDS
South Bend for the Notre Dame-
Pitt clash. He’s a Pitt fan, but
enroute to South Bend stopped in
the Steel City to pick Bobby
Williams, former GAR great
and the man who led the irish to
their stunning upset win over
Oklahoma in 1957.
ND ended the Sooners winning
streak at 47 straight by a Dick
Lynch TD off an option play by
Bobby. Williams is still one of
the finest quarterbacks I’ve ever
seen on the local scene. He could
do it all and he was a hitter on
defense, too.
Maryland Coach Gib Romaine
stopped by the day before the
Terps clash with North Carolina
for a brief visit.
He told me, ‘“We could get
blown away by the Tar Heels.
hey’ve got so much talent and
ill just line up and run right
atyou. I know our defense will
play hard and if we can slow
them down, we’ve got a chance
to pull off a victory.” Way to go
Romaine! Terps triumphed 28-26
and Romaine’s defense throttled
tying two-point try in closing
seconds.
Why do I keep remembering
North Carolina, with practically
the same personnel, doing a
number on Texas in the Sun
Bowl last season?
Unless there’s a foul-up, both
Pitt and Penn State will receive
bowl invites on Nov. 19.
Dallas is in a good position
this week to topple Meyers on
the turf at Memorial Stadium. It
should be a good football game
and if the Mountaineers gener-
ate any offense and put the ball
in the endzone they could win.
Coach Ron Rybak and his staff
will have em ready.

With only four minutes remaining
in the game, it appeared Bishop
Hoban was going to pull an upset
over the Lake-Lehman Knights as
the Argents led, 22-21.
“The game was a lot closer than
we expected,” said Lake-Lehman
Coach Mark Kirk. “Our offensive
line played a good game and opened
up holes for us, but our defense
made. some mistakes. Penalties
near the end of, the game hurt us,
but’ Stu Thomas played a great
game.
“He (Thomas) rushed for over 200
yards and scored two of our touch-
downs, one of them the winning TD
in the final minutes, when he went
over from the 10-yard line.”
The Knights scored first when
Chris Wargo went over from the
five-yard line with more than seven
minutes remaining in the first
quarter. Dan Kolar ran the ball into
the endzone to give the Knights an
8-0 lead.
In the opening minutes of the
second quarter, the Argents drove
85 yards with Burt Noll going into
the endzone for six points. Quarter-
back Pat Brady connected with
Steve Teller for two points to tie the
z
/Ed Campbell
score at 8-8.
T. Willy Cadwalader passed to
Earl Weidner and Kolar kicked the
extra point to give Lake-Lehman a
15-8 lead at the half.
On the opening kickoff of the
second half, the Argents returned
the ball for a teuchdown on a 96-
yard run by Jim Stout. Brady’s pass
was good and the Argents went in
front 16-15. 2
Thomas gave the Knights the lead
for a third time when he scored on
fourth and goal from the one yard
line. The try for two points failed
and Lake-Lehman led 21-16.
The fighting Argents regained the
lead in the opening minutes of the
final quarter on an option pass from
on fourth down.
Using a 62-yard drive, Thomas
capped it off for the Knights with
his 10 yard plunge into the end zone
to give Lake-Lehman their 27-22
win.
“We have a tough game coming
up this Saturday against G.A.R.”
said Kirk. “I’ve seen them play
several times and they’re a tougher
team than their record indicates.
We have our work cut out for us
again this week. We can’t take them
lightly.”

“After the problem with the lights
on the field was resolved, our kids
got off to a good game. Our defense
played an excellent game, coming
up with two interceptions and recov-
ering a fumble. They also stopped
the Tigers in the fourth quarter on
first and goal to go,” said Dallas
Coach Ron Rybak after his Mountai-
neers shut out the Tunkhannock
Tigers, 17-0.
“Our offense was able to move
the ball against them, so we ran the
ball the entire game. We didn’t
throw one pass.
“Mike Borton played a great
game and Sam Noone was excellent
on offense and defense. Borton
scored our first touchdown in the
first quarter going over from the
three yard line. Jerry Mihalick
made the extra point to give us a 7-0
lead. Mihalick kicked a 31-yard field
goal to give us a 10-0 lead at half
time.
“The line did some excellent
blocking but in the second half the
Game plans
moving like they should.”
Neither Tunkhannock nor Dallas
did much on offense during the
second half until the Mountaineers
took the ball in the fourth period.
Tunkhannock had moved to the
Dallas two-yard line, but the Moun-
taineers sacked the quarterback
twice and took over on the Tigers
12-yard line.
Later in the quarter, Dallas took
over the 50-yard line and moved the
ball to the Tigers 15-yard line from
where Borton scored his second
touchdown of the game. Mihalick
kicked the extra point to give the
Mountaineers their 17-0 shutout.
“We play Meyers Friday night on
the turf,” said Rybak. ‘“They’re
much the same kind of team as
Tunkhannock but they have two
good running backs in Dwayne Har-
rison and Gregg Lott. We’ll have to
stop them just as we did Bevelaqua
if we're going to win. The turf is to
their advantage at least for the first
half because they're used to it. The
Mohawks are a different team on
the turf than they are on the grass.”

Gerry Mihalick

“Last year our team needed a
kicker and we found one in Erez
Morag, our exchange student from
Israel,” said Dallas High School
football coach, Ron Rybak.
“This year we again needed a
kicker but we weren’t so fortunate
until I talked with soccer coach,
John McCafferty. He was good
enough to come up with a solution.
He recommended one of his soccer
players, Gerry Mihalick, sophomore
member of the varsity team, who
has done a great job for us.”
Mihalick, son of Mr. and Mrs.
John Mihalick of Dallas, is in his
second season as a member of
Dallas High School varsity soccer
team. During his freshman year, he
played on the 1982 District 2 cham-
pionship team.
He became interested in soccer
when in fifth grade and played on a
team in the newly-organized Back
Mountain Soccer Association. Since
that time, Mihalick has played in
just about every position.
This year when the football team
needed a kicker, Coach McCafferty
recommended Mihalick to Coach
Rybak as a possible candidate. Mih-
alick went out to practice with the
football team and proved to be just
what the Mountaineers needed. He
practices : twice weekly with the
football team until 5 p.m., then
walks over to the soccer field to
practice with that team as goalkee-
per.
Since Mihalick did not always
play the position as goalkeeper he
has had a lot of kicking experience.

For the past several years, he also
has practiced kicking at home just
because he enjoyed it.
He does the punting for the Dallas
football team and shares the kicking
for extra point with player Darren
Ford.
In punting, his longest kick this
season has been 55 yards and he
sports a punting average of 45
yards. Mihalick hopes to continue as
a kicker for the team throughout his
high school years.
))
Football is only part time with
Mihalick ‘since his primary respon-
sibility is his position on the soccer
team which, for the second consecu-
tive year, qualified to compete with
Abington Heights for the District 2
title.
What do his parents think about
their son playing on the football
“At first my mother didn’t like
it,”’ said Mihalick, “But now she is
used to it. I believe my dad likes the
fact that I kick for the team.”
In junior high school, the young
sophomore played basketball and
baseball, but has not made up his
mind what sports he will play in
senior high. During his freshman
year Mihalick was an honor roll
student.
“I need good marks because I'd
like to attend a major college and
participate in sports. I'd like to
major in sports and have a career
as a coach, trainer or in sports
medicine. In the meantime, I'm
going to do my best in high school.”
