Mountaineers traveled to Montrose
last Thursday where they defeated
the Meteors, 74-51, behind the
efforts of Dave Thomas.
Thomas poured in 30 points in
leading the Mountaineers to their
fourth win. He collected 16 points in
the second quarter when the Dallas
cagers added up 28 points to take a
46-35 win into the lockerroom at
halftime. Thomas put 14 goals
through the nets from the field and
went two-for-four from the foul line,
collecting 26 of his points in the first
-half of the contest. !
Ed Gorey chalked up 12 points
hitting a perfect two-for-two from
the charity stripe and tossing five
hits through the nets from the field.
The Mountaineers played out-
standing defense against the Mete-
ors and held their opponents’ top
scorer to 10 points while two others
hit 10 each. They went eight-for-13
from the free line while the Meteors
hit only five-for-14.
It also was Thomas and Gorey
earlier in the week as they com-
bined for 42 points to edge Central
Columbia 59-56 at home. Thomas
put in 18 points and Gorey tossed in
24 for the Mountaineers.
Dallas trailed 32-29 at the half but
came out strong in the third quarter
to outscore Central Columbia 24-13
and take an eight point lead. The
Columbia team cooled off the Moun-
taineers in the final period outscor-
ing them 11-6 but time ran out
before they could go ahead.
Gorey tossed the ball through the
hoop 12 times from the field and
went 0-2 from the foul line but
Thomas hit six-for-eight from the
line and put the ball through the net
six times from the field for his 18
points.
The two wins gave Dallas a 4-2
pre-season record.

Coach Rodger Bearde’s Lake-
Lehman cagers downed Tunkhan-
nock 48-39 Thursday night on the
Tigers floor to run the Knights
record to 5-0 in pre-season play.
Paced by Bill Bearde’s 15 points
the Knights jumped to a first
quarter 20-6 lead and stayed in front
for the entire game. They were
outscored by the Tigers 10-7 and 12-4
in the second and third quarters but
rallied in the final period to pour in
17 points to their opponents 11 to
win by a nine-point margin.
Scott Drugotch pumped in 12
points to finish in the double figures
for the Knights.
Earlier in the week, the Knights
took a 59-52 win from the Wyoming
Warriors for their fourth victory of
the season.
Four of Coach Bearde’s cagers hit
the double figures with Bearde and
Drugotch collecting 13 points each.
Ray Iwanowski hit for 11 and Tom
Kukosky dumped in 10.
Bearde put in five goals from the
field and hit three-for-four from the
foul line. Drugotch put six through
the net from the field and went one-
for-two from the free stripe.
Iwanowski put four through the
nets from the field and dumped in
three-for-four from the free stripe
while Kukosky keyed in on four
from the field and hit two-for-six
from the foul line.
Lake-Lehman freshmen took on
the Warriors ninth grade team and
edged them out 38-35 sparked by
Chris Landmesser who tossed in 12
points for the young Black Knights.

Dallas wrestling coach Larry
Schuler has this season’s program
well underway with 18 boys out for
this year’s team. Despite the low
number of candidates, nine of the
boys saw varsity action last season
and the Mountaineers appear to be
in good shape through the 119 to 155
weight classes.
Senior Craig Rome will be back at
167, twins Jim and Joe Patts will
probably go at 145 and 155, Jeff Hall
will start at either 138 or 145, Mike
Borton will weigh in at 126 or 132,
Junior Dave Hislop at 126, Mark
Rogers at 119 or 112, John Burke at
112 and Joe Walsh at 185.
Others competing for a spot in the
team lineup are John Graham, 126;
Kriner, 98; Billy Mathers and Paul
Burke, 98 or 105. Senior Tim Finne-
gan will wrestle heavyweight.
Most of the boys in the 126
through 185 weight classes have had
some experience from past seasons
and Coach Schuler is optimistic
because of his wrestlers’ dedication
and willingness to work hard. His
primary concern will be lack of
depth and the Mountaineers will not
be able to afford major injuries in
classes.
Before the 13-meet season opens
on Jan. 4 at G.A.R., the wrestlers
will compete in two tournaments
pre-season competition begins with
a tournament in Berwick on Dec. 17,
and their second tournament is the
Gov. Mifflin Tournament at Read-
ing, Dec. 29 and 30, where last
year’s winning squad, Rome, will
compete again.
The exhibition meets will be with
Valley View, Montrose, Abington
Heights and Western Wayne.
Following the opening league
meet with G.A.R., Dallas will meet
Tunkhannock, away, Jan. 7; Lake-
Lehman, home, Jan. 11; Nanticoke,
away, Jan. 14; Hazleton, home, Jan.
West
Side Tech, home, Jan. 25; Pittston
Wyoming Valley West, home, Feb.
15; and Bishop Hoban, home, Feb.
18.
There are five teams in the league
this season, who have strong return-
ing lettermen, many of them dis-
trict winners or runners-up. Most
wrestling fans believe Coughlin has
the potential to take it all, followed
closely by Hanover Area where
Coach John Carr usually fields a
good squad. Valley West and
Meyers are strong in the light
weights, while Pittston Area is a lot
tougher than most people realize.
Despite the fact that the Mountai-
