Chargers
surprise
By JOHN F KILDUFF
Staff writer
With the Lake Lehman Black
Knights holding a 3-0 lead over the
Carbondale Chargers at the outset
of the fourth quarter Saturday after-
noon and in possession of the foot-
ball on the Charger 11-yard line,
Head Coach Rich Gorgone must
have been anxously anticipating his
first win of the year.
However, four plays later, after
flubbing three straight running
plays, the 17-year veteran coach
opted for sophomore soccer-style
place kicker Scott Shafer. The snap,
the kick is up from 30 yards out. It’s
gooooood. Lake Lehman takes what
seemed to be a safe 6-0 lead. After
all, neither team had mustered even
100 yards during the entire first half
of play. It was a typical defensive
struggle. A 6-0 lead seemed safe in
the hands of a tough Black Knight
defensive unit.
Wrong!!! Charger Head Coach
John Lescavage took two fourth
down chances mid-way through the
last stanza, one a 37-yard heart-
stopper from mid field to senior
halfback Jerry Slick. A few plays
later from the Lake Lehman 18-yard
line, Lescavage gambled again on a
fourth and one, handing the ball to
senior work-horse fullback Joe
Pavalone who picked up two yards
and a first down on the Knight 16-
yard line.
After a false-start penalty against
Carbondale, pushing the Chargers
back to the Lake Lehman 23-yard
line, quarterback Gary Deriche
found senior split end Mike Raman-
yshiyn wide open and connected at
the Lehman 5-yard line.
Two plays later Charger quarter-
back Deriche handed off to running
back Jerry Slick over left tackle for
a two-yard TD run. The all-impor-
tant extra point by senior place-
kicker Tony Inbalzar was good and
the Carbondale Chargers suddenly
were in command 7-6 with only a
1:52 remaining in the contest.
The game ended with Lake
Lehman struggling to complete des-
peration passes from near mid-field
and ruined Head Coach Rich Gor-
gone’s debut as the Black Knight
mentor for the 1985 Wyoming Valley
Conference season. For Lake
Lehman the loss was disappointing
after a valiant effort by senior half-
back Bill George. George carried
for a total of 67 yards, all of which
were hard-nosed yards off tackle.
George’s hard running figured in
four of the Black Knights five
second-half first downs.
For the approximately 800 fans, it
seemed like a return to “old-style”
football with both teams featuring
the work horse for Lake Lehman
with wingback Bill Davis running
the ball wide. Senior Jim Kull of
Carbondale, carried the ball almost
exclusively for a total of 81 yards on
20 carries.
Carbondale was penalized 40
yards while Lake Lehman was
tagged just 15 yards. Lake Lehman
opens its Wyoming Valley Confer-
ence play this Sopnny at 2 p.m. at
Northwest.

Dallas Mountaineer Coach Ted
Jackson used a running game in the
Mountaineers’ opening game of the
season against the Hanover Hawk-
eyes and the new Dallas coach
proved his boys could put it all
together as they scored a convinc-
ing 29-13 win over the Hawkeyes.
Senior back Ron Ostrowski led the
scoring for Dallas going over the
goal line for the first two scores.
John Harris scored the third touch-
down on a three-yard run and Steve
Brace added a fourth on a 25 yard
run in to the end zone.
The three Mountaineers totaled
more than 70 yards each as the
Mountaineers took charge in the
second half to come out with the
win.
Neither team was able to mount a
drive in the first half which was
filled with fumbles and penalties for
72 yards.
“We had a lot of fumbles and
offsides in the first half,’ said
Jackson. “I" believe the kids had a
case of first game jitters but at
halftime, they got their heads
together and although they made a
few mistakes they ran the ball well
and our line did some super block-
ing and broke open some big holes.
“We would have liked to pass
more but we weren’t getting the
pass protection we needed so we
had the kids run the ball. They
proved they could do a good job.
I'm very pleased with their per-
formance.”
Jackson also gave a lot of credit
