RICHARDS Sports Columnist Coach Ron Rybak found some bright spots in the opening foot- ball contest, despite getting whipped soundly by powerful Hanover. Tom Trosko and Tim Evans did some damage in the middle of the Mountaineers defense. “We spent the and reviewing al of the variou keys with th defensive unit Hanover wrecke us with its out side scheme. That coupled with our breakdown in certain situations allowed them to put together wome long sustained drives ‘for scores,” Rybak pointed out. Meanwhile, junior quarter- backs Tim Lyons and Mark Kon- opki were limited in their per- formance by a stout Hawk defense. However, both young- sters showed some fortitude and will get better as the season goes along and they gain some confi- dence and experience. Rybak lauded the overall approach of the team. They want to win’ and think nothing of putting in the extra time to learn. That’s a positive sign. One of the youngsters that could be a factor the remainder of the season is sophomore tackle Mark Chester. He's going to be going both ways and once he learns the right blocking tech- niques. Rybak added, ‘While we got beat, the attitude of the team remains very positive and there's a long way to go this season. We're still searching for depth and it’s a major concern. I guess everyone is in the same predicament with the depth situ- ation.” — Here’s our top five school- boy teams: 1-Valley West, 2- Hanover, 3-Wyoming Area, 4- Nanticoke, 5-GAR. — From all indications this could be one of the biggest fields ever to compete in the sixth annual Wilkes-Barre Fats Invita- tional Golf Classic. Tournament will be held on Sunday, Sept. 30 over the red course at Irem Temple Country Club. CLIPBOARD NOTES: — Pitt’s overall performance against: BYU was one of the _ sorriest I've seen by the Pan- thers in 11 years. All of the preseason hype, which I didn’t buy, got the Panthers believing they just had to show up. ‘If you happened to read my evaluation of the Eastern colle- giate grid teams, I pointed out Pitt could lose four games - and the Panthers still hadn’t whipped a real quality football team in three years! Ranking Pitt No. 3 in most of the pre-season polls was ludi- Crous. Pitt can be a very good team but a lot of things have to come together on both sides of the football. Offensively, this is the key. More consistency and better execution, along with play selec- tions are the chief priorities. I understand there’s too much ink and publicity being showered on Bill Fralic, too. There’s no question he’s in a class by him- self, but let his actions do the talking. One thing which has happened to Pitt since the departure of Coach John Majors is there’s too much fantacizing about the potential of some of the players and the capabilities of the team. I gotta believe a low-key approach is far more realistic that blowing one’s horn before you've done anything to warrant notoriety. Do your boasting about your grid accomplishments after Thanksgiving and not in August. That was the philosophy I was taught. Miami and BYU, one thing came to my mind pronto. Here’s two football teams, that have beaten some so-called ranked teams with a collection of athletes that never made the top recruiting lists of any of the self ordained national experts? Heck, I have a hard enough time sorting out the East’s top prospects, so how can these Major Domos do it nationally? — Two outstanding grid pros- pects from the class of 1983 have transferred in to Pitt. QB Joe Felitsky, whom many regarded as the top passer in the state in the ’82 season has left Notre Dame and is back in Pittsburgh. LB Charlie Swink didn’t find Happy Valley to his liking and is _ back in the steel city. He was one of Penn State’s top prospectes too. — Several grid fans inquired recently about getting an offense to jell and how difficult is it to have one perform? Bringing an offense together on any level of competition is no easy task. First you must determine which type offense your person- nel are capable of running con- sistently. Most coaches will attempt to get their best athlete at the all important QB slot, because he’s the individual that makes things happen. It’s a known fact your defense is going to always be ahead of your offensive unit. Most of the coaches I've dis- cussed offensive theory with mentioned simplicity first. Basic and simple. However, that is determined with the overall experience of the personnel on hand. It’s rather difficult to evaluate any caliber of offense right off the bat. On the high school level most teams are very limited to what they can do to move the football unless you’ve got a bunch of superb athletes. It only takes two or three games for teams to really know an opponent’s limitations and strong points. Every coach in the area relies on scouting and films to formulate a game plan. If you can’t throw the football effec- tively, you're in a heap of trouble because they’ll gear their defense to shutdown the run and force you to do something you aren’t capable of doing. — Most football fans have been impressed with Miami’s opening wins over Auburn and Florida. 1 asked one of my college coaching pals who has to face the powerful ‘Canes this season about their offensive scheme? He said, ‘‘Bernie Koser is splendid QB, but he has brilliant skilled people to execute their offense. While he does not have an overpowering arm, they make the catches which makes him right chemistry going for them at the present time. Coach Jimmy Johnson is a solid defen- sive coach, too. We knew Miami would be improved in that phase. They're a very solid football team right now and it will take a good team to beat them.” NO MONEY ATC 200-S $7 1 00 + ;.. monn HONDA Route 6 & 11 (Next to Raves) In Chinchilla eT [0] 28 Ft.
