The similarities between the
tennis styles of Dallas Senior Chris
Lawley and John McEnroe is no
accident since McEnroe is Lawley’s
favorite tennis player.
Lawley, a member of the Dallas
High School tennis team, watches
McEnroe’s matches on television
and tries to play the same style as
his favorite pro. Lawley plays a
hard-hitting game of serves and
volleys most of the time. It was this
type of play that helped him win the
District 2 singles against River:
side’s John Emiliani, 6-3, 6-2.
“John was a hard hitter so in
order to win, I had to get to the net
and hit hard,” said Lawley. “I
couldn’t play a slow game but that
was fine because a hard-hitting
game is my favorite. I did a lot of
practicing this season and I believe
that is why I was so successful.”
This season is not the first season
Chris Lawley has been successful,
however. Last season, he and his
doubles partner, Joe O’Donnell, took
the PIAA District 2 title and
advanced to States where they won
the first two rounds.
The unusual part of Lawley’s out-
standing ability in tennis is that he
never played until he was in junior
high school. He used to enjoy watch-
ing the tennis matches on television
and decided he would like to play.
Dr. Burak, a neighbor of the Lawley
family, has a tennis court on which
he lets the kids play. This is where
Chris first started to play and con-
tinues to play today.
The son of Dr. Charles Lawley,
Shavertown, and the late Frances
Lawley, Chris took a few lessons
from a young man who was an
instructor at a city court. He also
attended a tennis camp in Florida
for two weeks but he said the
important thing is to practice, prac-
tice, practice. He practices most of
the time at Newberry Estates,
Kirby Park or at the neighbor’s
house.
Ninth grade was a big year for
Chris
that was the year he
became a member of the senior
high school varsity team. That year
he played in the number three spot.
In 10th grade, Chris played in the
number one slot and finished the
season with a 7-3 record. He made it
to the quarter-finals in Districts that
year in singles and he and his
partner were runners-up in doubles.
This qualified them for states but
they lost in the first round.
In his junior year, Chris and his
partner, Joe O'Donnell, took the
doubles in the Districts to advance
to States where they won two
rounds before being defeated. Chris
played number one on the team last
season and went undefeated in
league play but lost in the semi-
finals in the District competition.
Until this season, Tom Kilduff was
the team’s coach.
In their junior year, the team
ended the season with a 15-1 record
and was ranked No. 2 in Pennsyl-
vania.
This season the Dallas High
School team is the Northeastern
Pennsylvania champion which is far
as they can go as a team. They
ended the season undefeated with a
13-0 record.
Lawley again went undefeated in
singles this season before taking the
District 2 title. In order to take the
title Chris defeated a Carbondale
player, 6-0, 6-2, to advance to the
second round where he defeated the
Honesdale player, 6-1, 6-1. In the
quarter-finals he defeated the
player from North Pocono, 6-1, 6-0
and advanced to the semi-finals
where he defeated Terence Cawley
of Scranton Prep, 7-5, 6-1, then to
the finals where he took John Emili-
ani of Riverside, 6-3, 6-2.
“He was tough,” said Chris. “He
hit hard, but it was fortunate
because that is my game.”
Chris, with his teammates, Dave
Dillon and Jack Albert, who won
District 2 doubles, will go to States,
may 24. The three athletes, as well
as the members of the track teams,
sacrificed their senior class trips in
order to go to States, knowing well
that it was possible they would not
win. Chris said it was a chance he
knew he would have to take.
Following graduation, Chris plans
to attend Gettysburg College in the
Fall where he intends to play tennis.
Chris, who plans to take pre-med or
biology, selected Gettysburg rather
than a large school because his
grandparents and his father
attended the college. He also liked
the fact that it is a small school and
has a beautiful campus.
He is very close to his grandpar-
ents, Charles F. and Betty Lawley,
who live next door. He and his sister
spend a lot of time with them. His
sister, Heather, has no interest in
tennis but plays field hockey, is a
member of the track team and the
cheerleader squad. Chris is the only
member of the family who plays
tennis but his sister, dad and grand-
parents are ardent fans.

The Dallas Mountaineers saved
themselves a shot at the fourth spot
of the AAA playoffs with a 3-0
victory over Wyoming Seminary,
after losing to Wyoming Area and
Wyoming Valley West.
Rob Dombek was the man of the
day as he fired a three-hit shutout,
while striking out 11 and walking no
one.
Brian Moye gave the Mountai-
neers all the runs they would need
in the first inning with a two-run
single. Ed Kwak started the inning
when he struck out, but the pitch
got by the catcher and he reached
first base. A.J. Bittner then earned
a walk and both runners advanced
on a double steal. Matt Medura then
drew a walk, before Moye delivered
his hit.
Dallas tallied another run in the
third on a Mark Ramirez sacrifice
fly which scord Jubis.

Dallas slipped out of first place

Coach Barbacci’s Black Knights
of Lake-Lehman made it known
early that the AA playoff berth was
theirs. Needing a win over Hazleton,
the Knights batted around the order
twice in the game to rout the
Mounts, 16-3.
In the first inning, the Knights
sent 10 men to the plate, accounting
for six runs to set the pace. Spencer
highlighted the inning with a two
run R.B.I. single.
Lehman secured the victory in the
fourth, this time sending 13 batters
to the plate, producing eight runs to
take a commanding 16-2 lead.
Brian James was the winning
pitcher, striking out five and issuing
three walks. After giving up two
runs in the second, James settled in
allowing only one lone run in Hazle-
ton’s last at bat. T. Willy Cadwa-
lader, Spencer, Weidner and Boyle
led the offense collecting eight of
Lehman’s 13 hits.
GAR 7, LAKE-LEHMAN 5
The Knights literally saw their AA
title hopes blown away from them
when, in the fifth inning and the
score tied 5-5, Pat Liberaski, hit
what appeared to be the third out,
when the wind got hold of his fly
ball and put it just out of the reach
of the rightfielder Bill George’s
glove for a two run double, which
gave GAR a 7-5 victory and title.
GAR took a 1-0 lead in the second,
and rallied for four more runs in the
third. McCarthy got the big blow for
the Grenadiers a three run homer.
Trackmen
win first title
Saturday, May 11 saw the Lake-
Lehman Junior High Track team in
its first ever District event which
was held at the Scranton Memorial
Stadium.
Although the complete results had
not been tallied at press time Lake-
Lehman was lying in an impressive
5th place out of 15 schools compet-
ing.
Coaches Reinert and Nark were
very pleased with the efforts put
forth by all the Lehman athletes.
In the boys event, Scott Shafer
came away with two medals. Cham-
pion in the shot put with a throw of
46 feet and second in the javelin at
123-10.
In the girls events Stephanie
Kukosky broke the District meet
record of 29-1 in the triple jump to
take 1st place. She also took 2nd
place in the 100 intermediate hur-
dles and 3rd in the long jump.
Carolyn James brought home a
2nd place medal in the 3200 meters
and placed 4th in the 1600 meters.
Also taking fourth places was
Tammy Laidecker in the shot put
and Michelle Lucas in the high
jump.
for the first time this year with a 4-2
loss at the hands of the Warriors.
Wyoming scored first when Tom
Markavage hit a bases loaded, two
run double to give the Warriors a 2-
0 lead.
The Mountaineers came back with
a run when Mark Ramirez led off
the bottom of the first with a triple
and scored on a base hit by A.J.
Bittner. !
It was Markavage again however
who spelled trouble, when he tripled
home Jeff Hague i nthe third to
make it 3-1 Warriors. A sacrifice by
Joe Nocito in the fifth made it 4-1.
Dallas tried to come back in the
last two innings. In the sixth, Ed
Kwak scored Dombek with a double
but Ramirez was retired for the last
out.
In the last inning Brian Moye led
off with a triple, but Gary Volpe
who had nine strikeouts retired the
next three Mountaineers for the
win.
W.V.W. 10, DALLAS 0
Jim Griffin of Valley West threw
a one-hit 10-0 shutout and Ken
Chakon went three for four at the
plate as the Spartans mauled the
Mountaineers for sole possesion of
first place.
The only hit for the Mountaineers
came from Matt Medura, a two out
shot in the fourth. Only one runner
reached second base during Grif-
fin’s masterful performance.
