With less than two minutes
remaining in .the contest, junior
guard Mark Farrell hit a six-foot
jump shot to give the Dallas Moun-
taineers a 41-39 victory over Bishop
Hoban last Thursday to win the
District 2 Class AAA basketball
title.
“It had to be the greatest win in
the history of Dallas High School,”
said Dallas coach Clarence 0zgo.
‘‘We never won a district title
before and it’s moreamazing that
we did it by defeating teams like
Nanticoke and Bishop Hoban, two
powerful teams.”
Ozgo said when the season started
he believed his team was pretty
good, but there were several ‘ifs’.
“Our coaching staff believed if
some of our boys came through we
said. “We counted on Dave Thomas
time and we knew he would come
through.
“One of our biggest “ifs” was Ed
Gorey. Last season he was up and
down. If he was consistent this year,
we knew we had a big plus. Ed did
what we wanted him to do. He
played consistently all year and
helped win a lot of our games.
“Our two jayvee guards, Steve
Wilson and Mark Farrell, came on
the team and did a fabulous job for
us. They ran the club, both on
offense and defense. Their actions
on and off the court spoke for them.
season. He has done a terrific job
rebounding and on defense. Without
him, we wouldn’t be where we are.”

title when it was defeated by G.A.R.
in the second half playoff.
“We lost because we got too far
behind (14 points) and didn’t have;
enough time to catch up,” said
0Ozgo. ‘We stayed with our same
defense and offense for our playoff
game with Nanticoke. We had faith
in our play and felt that we could
beat th Trojans.
“We stuck to our style and the
kids were selective in their playing
and it paid off. We did the same
thing with Bishop Hoban. It was a
close game all the way and Far-
rell’s shot at the buzzer gave us the
win.”
Inter-districts begin March 16
with Dallas meeting Gettysburg,
District Three’s No. Six team at a
place to be decided. Ozgo is hoping
the first round will be somewhere in
the local area since his Mountai-
neers are No. One in this district.
“Now the going gets tougher,”
said the Mountaineer coach. “There
are some excellent caliber teams in
the playoffs. We will have to win
five games to take a state title. One
loss and you're done. With the
exception of a few adjustments we
will continue with the same style
play that got us this far.
“I’m happy for the boys because
they have worked hard and the key
to their success is that they have
stuck together,” he continued. “I'd
like to see them keep going, but
whatever they do they can be proud
for they have done what no cage
team before them did — brought
home the District 2 AAA (Division
I)ititle.”
Looking ahead to next year, 0zgo
said he will lose three starters®
through graduation - Thomas,
Gorey and Manusky. Farrell,
Wilson and the others will be back
so there will be a nucleus with
which to get started.
