and it could have been either team’s
game until the fourth quarter when
Pittston Area’s Mike Lazevnick and
Ken Scalpi scored to clinch the
game for the Patriots, 37-24, at

. Staff Correspondent :
Trojan football coach Bill Good-
man apparently forgot his remarks
early last week that he wasn’t
planning to play his varsity men
against the Dallas Mountaineers
Friday night. According to a pub-
lished report, Goodman stated that
of course his team wanted to win,
but they had to look ahead to this
week’s game with Wyoming, so he
was more concerned about prevent-
ing injury to his first string players.
: An alleged report has it that a 3-2
. vote by the coaches gave Goodman
the go-ahead to keep in his varsity
so Quarterback Gary Phillips could
break a 5,000 career record. That
report had all indications of having
foundation as Phillips took to the air
bor the first three quarters, complet-
g eight passes for 253 yards just
. shy 46 yards of breaking the 5,000
ards figure, while leading the Tro-
ans to a 47-0 win over the Dallas
Mountaineers.
* “Qur kids played a good game on
the ground,” said Dallas Coach Ron
Rybak, “They ran 44 plays and had
225 yards rushing but they were no
match for those guys in the air.
We're using a lot of young kids and
they’re just starting to develop out
on the field.”
Phillips went to the air early in
the game at Nanticoke Friday night
and, with 10:30 on the clock in the
first quarter, he connected with Ken
Schinski for a 58-yard touchdown.
Paul Mierzwa kicked the extra point
and the Trojans were in front 7-0.
On their next possession, the Tro-
jans scored again when, on the first
play, Ralph Ferraro took a handoff
from Phillips and ran 53 yards into
the endzone. Mierzwa kicked the
extra point and the score went to 14-
0.
In the second quarter, Phillips
went back to the air and, with 10:31
.xemaining in the second quarter, hit
hinski with a 14-yard scoring
pass. Mierzwa made the kick good
to give the Trojans a 21-0 lead.
On the next kickoff by the Tro-
jans, Mountaineer Jeff Spudis took
the ball on the 15-yard line and
thrilled the Dallas fans with an 85-
yard touchdown run. The try for a
two-point pass failed and the score
moved to 21-6 with 10:17 left in the
second quarter.
With 8:11 on the clock, Phillips
threw a 56-yard pass to Steve Dista-
sio for a score but the kick was
blocked by Mountaineer Mike Jano-
sik to give the Trojans a 27-6 lead.
On their possession, Dallas fum-
bled and the Trojans recovered on
their own 47-yard line. Phillips con-
tinued in the air hitting Schinski
634-2798
over from the 1-yard line to give the
Knights a 6-0 lead. The Knights
drove 61 yards with Van Gorder and
George doing the work on the
ground and T. Willy Cadwalader
hitting Earl Weidner with a 30-yard
pass before Van Gorder went into
the end zone. Weidner’s kick for the
extra point failed.
In the second quarter, the Knights
drove downfield a second time with
George running the ball into the
endzone from the 5-yard line. The
ball was called back and the touch-
down was nullified because of a
holding penalty. The Knights lost
their opportunity when, on third and
four, Cadwalader’s pass was inter-
cepted by Pittston Area’s Dave Ley-
shon.
With 11:10 on the clock, the
Patriots tied up the game when Ken
Scalpi climaxed an 80-yard drive by
going over from the 2-yard line.
Using his option play, Lazevnick
carried the ball for 48 yards and
used two completions for 20 yards to
bring the ball down field.
The Knights didn’t give up and, on
Bright spot
Friday evening when they
the next kickoff, Knight Jeff Martin
took the ball back to the Pittston
Area 43-yard line. Using 10 plays,
the Knights drove down to the
Patriots 1-yard line and George took
the ball in for a touchdown. The try
for extra point failed but the
Knights moved ahead, 12-6.
On the next possession, the
Patriots came right back and drove
downfield to the 1-yard line from
where Lazevnick went in for a
touchdown. Again the try for the
conversion failed and the score was
at 12-12. On their next possession,
the Patriots repeated the same pat-
tern and this time Lazevnick took
the ball in from the 6-yard line to
give Pittston an 18-12 lead at half-
time.
In the opening minutes of the
third quarter with 10:42 on the
clock, Lazevnick moved the Patriots
in front 24-12 on a 77-yard hit to
Walker. The attempt for a 2-point
conversion failed.
With 3:09 remining in the third
quarter, Knight Chris Van Gorder
Dallas Post/Ed Campbell
went up against a tough
John Harris (No. 32)
with a 40-yard toss with 3:50 on the
clock in the second quarter. The try
for the extra point failed and the
halftime score was 33-6.
Before Schinski left the game in
the third period, he took a 33-yard
pass from Phillips with 6:32 left on
the clock. The try for extra point
was good and the Trojans were in
front, 40-6.
In their next series, the Mountai-
neers used seven plays to drive 53
yards to the one yard line where
John Harris took it in for a touch-
down. Ed Kwak ran it in for two
points and the Mountaineers made
the score 40-14.
Dallas was successful on an
onside kick and drove down field to
the Trojan 4-yard line, but the
Nanticoke defense held.
Dallas used another scoring drive
on their next possession and Harris
scored his second touchdown going
in from the 7-yard line. Mark Kon-
opki connected with Kwak for a two-
point conversion to cut the Trojan
lead to 40-22.
On the Trojans possession, Dallas
defense held and forced the Trojans
to turn over the ball on the Dallas
37-yard line.
Scott Francis went to the air for
Dallas but Trojan Scott Novakowski
intercepted and ran 48 yards for a
score. The kick for extra point was
good and Nanticoke went ahead, 47-
22
With just 42 seconds on the clock,
Mountaineer sophomore Bill
Fedrow ran 44 yards for a touch-
down and added two points by
running in for the extra point
making the final score, 47-30.

Can the Dallas High School foot-
ball team defeat Northwest and
snap its losing streak? The Dallas
Post prognosticators seem to think
so and are giving the Mountaineers
a fightin’ chance as all six prognos-
ticators pick Dallas over Northwest
this weekend.
The Knights of Lake-Lehman,
however, don’t get a unanimous bid
from the Post team as the prognos-
ticators are split on their decision
for the Lehman-Crestwood game.

Ed Campbell and sportswriter Char-
lot Denmon think the Comets of
Crestwood are going to pull off
another victory.
The prognosticators are unani-
mous in their decision that Hones-
dale will defeat Bishop O’Reilly and
Seminary will earn a victory over
Williamson while Gula is the only
one giving West Side Tech a chance
over Bishop O’Hara.
As for the college games, a vic-
tory for Notre Dame over Navy is a
unanimous decision, but the prog-
nosticators are split on the Penn
State/Boston College and Pitts-
burgh/Syracuse games. After West
Virginia defeated the Nittany Lions
for the first time in 28 years last
Saturday, Campbell is the only one
sticking with the Lions while every-
one else is siding with Doug Flutie
and Boston College. Campbell and
Petie think Pitt can defeat Syracuse
but the other four prognosticators
are going with the Orangemen.
There is a slight change in the
standings this week as Martin con-
tinues to hold her own with a tie for
the first place slot, but now shares
her position with GoalPOST Petie
who lost only two games last week.
Richards, who shared the top spot
with Martin for several weeks,
dropped into a second-place tie with
Denmon as he dropped four games
this week. Denmon had a fantastic
week last week, losing only the
LSU/Notre Dame game when the
Fighting Irish upset Louisiana
State. Ed Campbell picked up six
wins to sup his slate to 45-25 while
Joe Gula picked up five wins for a
42-28 record.
