“We have seven lettermen return-
ing from last season,” said Lake-
Lehman Basketball Coach Rodger
Bearde. “But we don’t have height.
Our tallest man is Ray Iwanowski,
who is 6’2”’, so our strong point this
season should be our experience.
“Three of our boys are three-year
lettermen and the other are two
year lettermen so they have a great
deal of experience. Bill Bearde,
Paul Jones and Marty Onzik have
played for three years. Tom
Kukosky, Ray Iwanowski, Scott
Drugotch and Doug Barbacci have
played for two.”
The Knights have a 13-game exhi-
bition season and to date have
played eight games for a 6-2 record.
Still on their schedule are Bishop
Hoban, Nanticoke, Abington Heights
and the Crestwood tournament. The
tournament is scheduled for Dec. 28
and 29 and before the season opens
the Knights should have some excel-
lent experience behind them since
they played against strong AAA
teams. .
Bearde has 13 boys out for this
season’s team including seniors Bill:
Bearde, Doub Barbacci, Tom.
Kukosky, Ray Iwanowski, Scott
Drugotch, Paul Jones, Marty Onzik-
and Bob Belcher; juniors Dave Jan-_
iczek, Bill Boyle and Earl Weidner;
and sophomores Mark Stash and
Paul Andes. :
The first six players for the
Knights will probably be Bearde,
Kukosky, Drugotch, Onzik, Jones:
and Iwanowski.
The Knights will compete with
teams in Section II of the Wyoming
Valley League where Coach Bearde
believes there will be a tight race
with Dallas, G.A.R. and Hanover in
strong contention for the section
title.
Lake-Lehman cagers open the
regular season on Jan. 3 against
Wyoming Seminary at the Blue
Knights gym in Kingston.
The Lake-Lehman girls basketball
team staved off a fourth quarter
rally by the Bishop O'Reilly Queens-
women last Friday and grabbed a

Yozwiak Memorial Tournament at

Lake-Lehman girls moved into the
final round of the tournament last
Wednesday night by defeating Pitts-
ton Area, 68-41.
The Lady Knights led 30-23 at the
half, but outscored the Patriots, 38-
18, in the second half to grab the
victory and move into the champi-
onship round. Kim Fey and Jill
Solinski hit 16 points each and
Fey put 14 points in from the floor
