STREISV:A
Wilkes-Barre Fats
BY LEE L. RICHARDS
CLIPBOARD NOTES: You gotta
feel for our Olympic Hockey team.
They were in a no win situation.
The hype going into the games was
over done in my book. Comparing
them to the 1980 team was really a
lot of TV bunk. This team was too
young and inexperienced. It also
lacked that one ingredient called
chemistry.
Over the next couple of weeks all
of the no-necks will have all of the
answers on why the team lost.
Flyers’ Bobby Clarke had this
assessment: “You want to see
what the American team is really
like? Keep them together through
1988, 1992 and so on. Then let em
fair and equal.”
I still believe a majority of the
athletes competing in the Games
are nothing but professionals.
-Don’t look now but the Black
Knights are right in the thick of the
title chase for the local wrestling
crown. Several wrestling coaches
have complimented the fine job
Coach Ed Ladamus is doing in his
first season, particularly his
handling of the youngsters.
--Thursday is the big showdown
between Bloomsburg and Penn
State. Ricky Bonomo will square
off with two-time EWL champ,
Carl DeStefanis. Carl is ranked the
No. 2 wrestler in the country. Rick
surprised Carl earlier in the
season at the East Stroud Open. It
should be an exciting clash. Rocky
was to meet Scott Lynch, a two-
time All-American. Lynch was
fourth in the NCAAs last year, but
is still recovering from knee
surgery. :
The Eastern Wrestling League
Tournament is next week at
Millersville and both Ricky and
Rocky are sure to be seeded in the
top three. Both are capable of
winning titles with some luck. The
EWL takes the top two finishers in
each weight class, plus three wild
cards to the NCCA Tournament. It
would be quite an accomplishment
for the Bonomo’s to make the trip
in their initial try.
--Pitt Coach Andy Urbanic called
last Wednesday to enlighten me
about the outstanding recruiting
class signed by the Panther grid
staff. Pitt met its priorities by
signing four gifted running backs
and two solid tightends. Panthers
cleaned up in Western PA once
again. The running backs in fold
are: Craig Heywood and A.B.
Brown from New Jersey. Chalres
Gladman from Ohio and Ezekial
Gadson from South Carolina}
Heywood and Gladman are
Parade A-As.
the top teams in the East, Pitt and
Penn State appear to have
traveled different paths. The
Nittany Lions would appear to
have lost their grip on Pennsyl-
vania and New Jersey to some
degree. :
Maryland landed the best player
in the Harrisburg area in A-A
Brian Bixler. My pal Gib Romaine
did a splendid job in luring bixler.
He's one of the top players in the
East. ;
The Nittany Lions signed Pete
Curkendall, perhaps the top
lineman in the east.
Penn State made a big pitch for
Dante Wiley, regarded by many
coaches as a ‘super’ from
Jeanette, Pa. Wiley waited until
the day after the original signing
date to announce he’ll play for
Pitt. By his signing, Pitt's
recruiting stock jumped another
couple of notches as he is a top-
notch QB-DB prospect.
—-Terp coach Romaine told me
the best running back prospect
signed by the Panthers could be
Gadson, Clemson and a bunch of
SEC teams wanted him badly.
PSU got a very good athlete in
Peter Gistopouos, a linebacker
from Hamilton, Ontario. Another
stellar player is Raymond
Roundtree out of Aiken, South
Carolina.
Towa made a haul in New Jersey
and took away several players
from the Nittany Lions.
Penn State only signed four
players from in state and a couple
of those are suspect.
Harrisburg’s Gene Arrington, a
fine receiver, opted for USC. The
Trojans may have the top class,
followed of course by Notre Dame.
Heck, every year Gerry (Farst)
Faust lands outstanding recruits,
perform up totheirpotential on the
field. Either he’s not putting the
pieces together or the players are
overrated?
lineman from the Pittsburgh area,
who played for former Lake-

weeks ago, but changed his mind
al the last minute and inked with
