By LEE L. RICHARDS
Sports Columnist
The Bloomsburg wrestling
team, led by former Lake-
Lehman champs
ranked Penn State last week.
Ricky and
Rocky have had
banner cam-
paigns in their
first season in th
vastly improve
Eastern. Wres
tling League.
Ricky is one off
the top 118 poun :
ders and was slated to meet two-
time defending champ Carl
DeStefanis. However, Coach
Roger Sanders moved Ricky up
to 126 pounds where he squared
off with PSU’s Scott Webster.
Ricky bowed to Webster, 19-11,
suffering his first loop loss.
Rocky wrestled at 134 pounds
agaisnt two-time All-American
Scott Lynch, who was making his
first start since having knee sur-
gery last month. Lynch is nor-
mally a 126-pounder like rocky.
Lynch had too much horse power
for Rocky and romped, 16-4. It
was Rocky's second defeat in the
EWL. He bowed to defending
champ Dan Foldesy, 6-5.
With the Ninth Annual Eastern
Wrestling League Championships
this weekend at Millersville,
Ricky and Rocky are expected to
be back at their normal weights
which is 118 and 126.
The champions and runners-
up, along with three wild cards
will advance to the NCAA Tour-
nament at the Meadowlands
March 8 through 10. Both wres-
tlers will have to be at peak form
to qualify, but both will. v
On the season Ricky is 21-2-1,
while Rocky is 22-3. Both are
candidates for the EWL Fresh-
man of the Year Award which
will be voted on by the coaches
and a committee from the media
after the NCAA Tournament.
Coach Sanders told me last
week, “Ricky and Rocky have
done so much for our team over
the course of the season. Their
best wrestling is still ahead of
them. Because of their dedica-
tion, they’re going to get better
and better.”
— Coach Clarence 0zgo’s
Mouuntaineers made it a clean
sweep over Coach Rodger
Bearde’s Lake-Lehman round-
ballers this season winning last
week in a close one. Mountai-
neers getting consistency play
from their starting five. It seems
everyone has a role and perform-
ing as a cohesive unit team
concept thefirst priority.
— Congratulations to Knights’
Bill Bearde on cracking 1,000
point mark. He’s a very unselfish
performer and has been through-
out his career. Being the coach’s
son isn’t any piece of cake either.
Bill’s awareness on the court is
remarkable.
— I tip my hat to the Lake-
Lehman Booster Club on donat-
ing the new scoreboard in
memory of Jim Nicholas. it
showed a lot of style.
— Delighted to see Craig Rome
wrestling so well for Coach
Larry Schuler’s Big D team this
season. Craig has worked awful-
theoff season and is a dedicated
youngster. He’s got a lot of his
Uncle Ed’s competitive drive. he
sported 12-0 record going into the
weekend and has shown six foes
the lights.
— Another Dallas mat star
with a heap of drive and desire is
Mike Borton. You knew he’d be a
winner on the mat, simply by the
aggressive way he ran with the
football.
— My vote for schoolboy wres-
tling coach of the year locally
would go to Ed Ladamus of
Lake-Lehman. He was in a tough
situation replacing Shorty Hitch-
cock and with all of the adversity
surrounding the situation. Ed
simply took the reins and did
things his way and the wrestlers
responded.
— North Carolina and Ken-
tucky, two of the favorites to
capture the NCAA roundball
crown by many, just seem to be
lacking something in my book. I
really don’t beliee either will win
it all.
— I’m still gathering info from
collegiate coaches on the top
recruits and how much of an
impact they’ll have come next
fall.
It was amusing to read in the
Centre Daily Times where St.Joe
Paterno claimed it was an ‘off
year in Pennsylvania and New
Jersey’ this season, prompting
Penn State to expand its recruit-
ing elsewhere. However, several
other coaches pointed out the
Nittany Lions lost out in both
states. According to the coaches’
early reports there was a lot of
talent around plain and simple.
St. Joe’s pet line is the talent was
thin when they don’t go to Happy
Valley.
— Dante Wiley, the DB-QB
from Jeannette, was considered
in most circles as the premier
player in Pennsylvania this year.
He decided to attend Pitt. That
makes the 11th time in the last 12
