Dallas Senior Jill Radzinski, captain and outstanding player

Letter of Intent last week.
Jill Radzinski —
enroute to PSU
By CHARLOT M. DENMON
Staff Correspondent
Dallas senior Jill Radzinski signed a letter of intent to Pennsyl-
vania State University last Thursday at her home, West Center Hill
Road, Dallas.
Jill, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Theodore Radzinski, in signing
the letter marked a first in Dallas High School athletics by being the
first girl to receive a field hockey scholarship. F
She was the only senior on this season’s team and led the team to
the second place runnerup spot in the Wyoming Valley Conference in
1984. The previous, year, Jill was one of the key players in Dallas
taking the District Championship. She also played in the Keystone
State games in the summer of 1984.
Jill played hockey in junior and senior high school, and has been a
member of the school’s varsity basketball and softball teams. This
year she played on the basketball team which took the Division 2 title
in the Wyoming Valley Conference and defeated Honesdale, Wednes-
day, Feb. 27.
Among the schools who were interested in Jill attending their
institutions were Syracuse University, Ball State, Northern Illinois,
Southwestern Missouri, University of Toledo, Bloomsburg University,
Brown, Yale, Lehigh University and Penn State University.
She narrowed her choices to Syracuse, Bloomsburg, Northern
Illinois, and Penn State, but said she finally decided on Penn State
because it is a Pennsylvania school, the campus is beautiful, it has
excellent medical benefits for its athletes and the four year grant she
was offered is an escalating grant.

This writing has to do with what I
consider a very important matter,
and seems to be a very strong
concern of the area right now. The
matter is one of sportsmanship,
especially on the younger levels. By
the younger levels I mean seventh
and eighth grade, junior high and
younger.
The incident I
would like to
bring attention to
first of all is one
that occurred
during a recent
basketball game
between Lake-
Lehman and
Wyoming Valley
West Junior High |
teams.
In this incident first of all Lake-
Lehman had the championship
already won and seemingly the
game, leading Wyoming Valley
West by as many as 20 points. When
all of a sudden, Valley West came
back and evenutally lost by only a
basket 50-49.
It was during this push by Valley
West, when the kids started yelling
at the refs and even at each other.
In my mind, this is deplorable
conduct.
The surprise to me here was the
reaction of the coaches, who seem-
ingly did not even attempt to refrain
their players.
The second incident took place at
the end of the game. After the
game, the players from Valley West
approached (or tried to), the Lake-
Lehman team to shake their hands
in congratulations. What or why it
happened, I don’t know but hands
were never shaken, because
Lehman players were too occupied
cutting down the nets, (a tradition
of champions). The problem here is
that shaking hands is an older and
more appreciative tradition.
The question here is what to do?
These seemingly unimportant hap-
penings at the time, hold something
in store for the future. There was
even an incident, where at a local
junior high basketball game, a
parent threw a punch, which led to
a potential riot.
Instead of good rivalries starting
over close games, all the players
seem to look forward to is retalia-
tion.
Although championships are
important and will be remembered,
so will the actions of the players
shown to each other.
There is no doubt these kids will
face each other in years to come,
and hopefully they will do so as
athletes in the truest form.
The problem here is who is
responsible for these actions?
Whether it be the coaches, the
parents, the referees, or the school,
something should be done, before it
Hopefully someone will step for-
ward and take charge. Many people
have already taken notice.
Children of this age are very
influential, they all want to be a
Larry Bird or Dr. J. They learn b
example. ;
It’s only my opinion, but individ-
at home, team sportsmanship is the
responsibility of the coach, and
their court behavior relies heavily
on both the referee and coaches at
this age.
Maybe it wouldn’t be a bad idea if
these people got together before the
season or game and set some guide-
lines. After all, winning isn’t every-
thing — especially on these levels.

“If the tuition goes up, the grant goes up,” said Mrs. Radzinski.
“With the cost of a college education today, that is important.”
Jill visited the campus, stayed in the dorms and was pleased with
the school and its courses. She is not certain of her major but is
leaning towards sports psychology.
