* a THE DALLAS POST, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 12, 1984+ 9 Bishop Hoban defender. Phil Brown (55) football victory since 1982. To Hoban, 6-2 By CHARLOT M. DENMON Staff Correspondent The Dallas Mountaineers defense played a much improved game Sat- urday night at Plains stadium in spite of losing 6-2 to Bishop Hoban, The Mountaineers held the Argent offense throughout the first half until, with 4:29 remaining on the clock, the failure of the Mountai- neers to fill their right positions allowed the Argents Pat Merkel to go 63 yards for a touchdown. On the play, the Argents received the third Dallas punt of the first half on their own 37-yard line. On the next play, Merkel veered to the left, went back inside through & hole made by his blocker and ran 63 yards with no one able to catch him. The kick for the extra point failed and at the end of the half the Argents led, 6-0. Neither team showed good offense with the Mountaineers collecting only 44 yards total in the first half and the Argents, excluding Merkel’s touchdown run, picking up only 38. In the second half, the Mountai- neers controlled the ball most of the time but they were unable to break the Argents defense to get deep into their territory. The Argents offense did even worse against the Mounttineers, picking up only three first downs for the entire game, none in the second half, and gaining only 43 yards for the second half. It was the big play on the punt return that gave them the winning touchdown. The Mountaineers offense was not much better. In the second half they had excellent field position, starting inside Hoban’s terriroty at least five times on punt returns. The closest they came to scoring was in the fourth quarter when Charlie Arnone went through from the 29-yard line and headed for the endzone. Hoban’s Mark Gillen ' stopped Arnone from scoring when he tac- kled him from behind on the Argents 12 yard line. The Mountaineers picked up their Mark Ciacci took a snap from center and stepped into the endzone for two. When the Mountaineers took pos- session, quarterback Mark Konopki began to move his team downfield, but Steve Teller intercepted his pass attempt to D. Jubis to dash the Mountaineers hopes for a touch- down and a win. The Argents Coach Sal Montagna gave credit to his defense for the win, saying that he had eight start- ers from last year's squad. Mon- tagna hos been building his strength By CHARLOT M. DENMON Staff Correspondent Knights quarterback T. Willy Cad- walader, playing with an injured ankle, connected for 16 of 34 passes, totalling 230 yards in Saturday's game with Meyers, but it was the Mohawks’ running game that gave the Wilkes-Barre boys a 36-0 win walader’s pass was intercepted by Lott, who played an outstanding game for Meyers. Penalties against the Knights helped move the ball down the field for the Mohawks until they were inside the Knights 30-yard line. When the Knights defense held, the Mohawks tried for a field goal but it failed. Another bad snap caused Boich to run and Lake-Lehman took over. over Lake-Lehman. Meyers quarterback Gene Maffei hit nine for 14 in the air for 188 yards, but on the ground, the Mohawks piled up 200 yards to the Knights’ 58. Both teams had" an equal number of first downs, 16, but it was Meyers who came up with the big plays when needed.

Campbell picks the Mountaineers to edge by Pittston Area, 10-7, while the remaining five Post pickers are siding with the Patriots. Sportswriter Charlot Denmon, on the other hand, is the only Post prognosticator going against the Black Knights of Lake-Lehman this week as she feels the locals will go down to defeat at the hands of Tunkhannock. The rest of the pick- ers are sticking with Lehman, even if only by a few points. The decision on the Valley West/ GAR game is unanimous with everybody predicting a Spartan win while sports columnist Lee Richards Wow - don't delay. is the only one to pick Blue Ridge to defeat Bishop O'Reilly. Wallenpaupack is the winner over West Side Tech with the exception of GoalPOST Petie who likes Tech, 13-6. Notre Dame is a unanimous winner over Michigan State. The prognosticators, however, are split on the other two college games with Iowa getting the nod over Penn State from Bill Savage, Richards and Petie. while Savage and Denmon are the only ones to go with Pitt over Oklahoma. The Post prognosticators took a beating last week with Savage and GoalPOST Petie doing the best with four wins apiece. Editor Dotty two wins each while Denmon added three victories to her record. Cur- rently tied for first splace are Savage, Richards and GoalPOST Petie with records of 8-5. The Post prognosticators will see a new face next week as our West Side correspondent Joe Gula takes over for Bill Savage. Savage, who is leaving The Dallas Post to join the sports staff at The wilkes-Barre Times Leader, will leave Gula with his impressive 8-5 slate. | PRE- move the ball. Daryl Boich made the first big play for Meyers in the first quarter when he recovered a Lake-Lehman fumble on the Mohawks 43-yard line. The Mohawks, using four plays to drive down to Lake-Lehman’s 28- yard line from where Maffei, hit split end Mike Schwab with a touch- down pass. On the Mohawks first bad snap for a point after touch- down, Boich tried to run the ball in, but failed. The Knights started to move the ball against the Mohawks, but Cad- Meyers defense held and Lake- Lehman punted the ball. The Knights held the Mohawks and they punts, Meyers took the ball on its own 32-yard line. Rushing by Tony Caffrey and a key reception by Schwab took the ball to the Knights 5-yard line. On an option pass, halfback Caffrey ran to his right but stopped and threw to end Tim Walsh who went in for a second Meyers touchdown. The try for two points failed after a penalty for holding put the Mohawks on the 23- yard line. Knight Cadwalader took over and led his team to the Mohawks 6-yard line with only two minutes on the clock, but time ran out before they were able to score. The second half opened with Lott running 80 yards for a touchdown on the kickoff, only to have it called back due to a penalty. Minutes later, Maffei hit Tom Skaff with a 25-yard touchdown pass. Again, the try for extra points failed and the Mohawks went in front, 18-0. The fourth Meyers touchdown came when Knight Chris Van Gorder tried to punt on the run after a bad snap. Meyers Tom Skaff caught the ball and ran 45 yards down the sidelines for a touchdown. The try or extra point failed and Meyers took a 24-0 lead.

Dallas Coach Ron Rybak said he could see a definite improvement in his defense over last week's game with Hanover, but that the offense still needs a lot of work. “We have a young and inexperi- enced team,” said Rybak. “And it’s going to take time to get them to think - fast out on the field. Our quarterbacks are inexperienced. When they practice they have no pressure on them and do very well but when they get in the game, it’s another story.’ Rybak said Bishop Hoban played well, but he pointed out that Charlie Arnone and Mark Chester played great games for Dallas and Rich Long was fantastic. ‘We have 53 kids on the roster,’ said Rybak. “And they're all a . great bunch. They're giving me a 110 percent, but they need time to gain experience and they need that one big play or break to give them confidence. This week we play Pitts- ton. They are always a good team So we have our work cut out for us this week. Our defense can’t do it alone, we have to work on the offense.” (NEXT GAME: Dallas will be at Pittston Area Saturday evening at 7:30 p.m.) Gaining riage Dallas runningback Jeff: Spudis gains yardage Satur-! day night against Bishop Hoban at the Plains football stadium.
