Dallas Post editor Dotty Martin is bound and determined to recapture the top
slot of the football prognosticators this year.
Martin, who topped the first-ever team of Dallas Post prognosticators last year
with a 64-23 slate, slipped by Johnnie George, last year’s GoalPOST Petie when
she predicted Wyoming Valley West would defeat Coughlin. When the Spartans of
Valley West trounced Coughlin, 19-7, Martin’s first-place position was all sewn up
while George finished in a tie for second place with former sports columnist Lee
Richards as both wound up with 63-24 slates.
The Dallas Post prognosticators are returning this year and will be picking the
minds of area football players as well as all the armchair quarterbacks in the
Back Mountain with their weekly predictions of both high school and college
football games.
In addition to Martin, those prognosticators returning for a second year include
photographer Ed Campbell who finished fourth last year with a 58-29 slate; staff
correspondent Charlot Denmon who came in third last year with a 62-25 slate;
and advertising representative Joe Gula whose 56-31 record last year brought
him fifth place in the rankings.
Also returning is the ever-popular GoalPOST Petie who will live anonymously
inside a resident of the Back Mountain throughout the entire football season.
Petie, who will make his predictions every week along with the other
prognosticators, will have his identity revealed at the conclusion of the 1985
gridiron season.
A new face added to the list of prognosticators this year is that of staff writer
John Kilduff. Kilduff, who will be covering football games for The Post this year,
has never been a prognosticator prior to this year. A graduate of Wyoming
Valley West High School, Kilduff has reportedly been involved in sports
throughout most of his life and professes to be a better-than-average guesser.
High school teams that will be included in the prognosticators’ predictions on a
weekly basis include Dallas, Lake-Lehman, Wyoming Valley West, Bishop
O’Reilly, West Side Tech and Wyoming Seminary while college teams that will be
included in the weekly selections are Penn State, Pittsburgh, and Notre Dame.
Regardless of the outcome of this year’s predictions, The Dallas Post
prognosticators are looking forward to a year of having fun and, hopefully,
competing not only amongst themselves but also with all those Back Mountain
football fans who will be keeping their eyes on the prognosticators.
