George returns
Trojans
By JOHN F. KILDUFF
Staff Writer
Despite the miraculous return of
senior running back Bill George and
an early 6-0 lead, the Black Knights
of Lake Lehman were trounced, 32-
6, this past Saturday before a
sparse turnout at Eddie Edwards
stadium.
Lehman Head Coach Rich Gor-
gone seemed to have everything
going his way early on in the
contest as the Black Knights played
ball-control behind the running of
George and senior fullback Jeff
Martin.
George was not oDedion to return
to the Black Knight offense this
season when he went down with a
back injury two weeks ago during
the Knight’s 7-0 win over the Hano-
ver Hawkeyes.
Gorgone’s squad, fresh off last
week’s 15 - 14 win over Division II
Meyers, tallied first in the contest
late in the second quarter.
With just over one minute remain-
ing in the first period, George rolled
right and tossed a half-back option
pass to junior split-end Chris Land-
messer, good for 57 yards and a
first and goal from the Nanticoke
three yard-line.
Landmesser also helped set-up the
scoring opportunity by intercepting
a Jim McDermitt pass near the
Lehman 40-yard line. =
After two ‘unsuccessful running
plays off tackle, freshman quarter-
SCore
back Len Annetta dropped back on
third down and fired a TD pass fo
junior wingback Bill Walsh all alone
for the score. Sophomore place-
kicker Scott Shaffer missed the PAT
and Lehman took an early lead 6-0,
much to the surprise of Trojan
mentor Bill Goodman.
“They (Lehman) got off to that
early lead and we began to think we
were in store for a good ball-game,”
said Goodman after the game.
“Fortunately for us, our offense and
defense began to click, which really
made the difference,”’” Goodman
continued.
Nanticoke’s first score of the day
came on a beautiful 44-yard TD
pass from sophomore Jim McDer-
mott to wide-receiver Tony Grobin-
ski. The tally, coupled with a suc-
cessful PAT by kicker Paul Pierson,
gave the Trojans a 7-6 lead which
proved to be all Goodman’s troops
would need on the day.
The scoring play covered 84 yards
using primarily the arial attack of
McDermitt and senior end Steve
Distasio. McDermitt and Distasio
combined for 36 yards before
McDermitt found Grobinski for the
TD.
Trojan running back Ralph Fer-
raro was the main ground weapon
on the day carrying for 87 yards on
22 carries.
Nanticoke wasted no time getting
on the scoreboard again as McDer-
mott found Distasio on a fourth
down and three play for a 34-yard

they were defeated, 32-6.
More than 50 area junior and
senior high school teams will con-
verge on Penn State University,
Saturday, Oct. 19, to compete in the
Eastern Regional cheerleading tour-
nament - the qualifying meet for the
National High School Cheerleading
Championship to be held February
22 and 23, 1986 at Sea World in
Orlando, Florida.
Approximately 5,000 cheerleaders
from every part of the United States
will participate in this year’s
regional competitions’ according to
Susan Keithler, spokesperson for
Personal Producta which sponsors
both the regional and national
events. Eighteen regional cheer-
leading competitions will be held
across the country to select top
squads for the Florida finals.
Each team, which is comprised of
up to 16 members, has two and a
half minutes in which to perform
their routine, explains Jeff Webb,
president of Universal Cheerleaders
Association, the organization sanc-
tioning these tournaments. The
judges’ scores are based on three
categories-gymnastics, dancing and
cheerleading. There will be four
divisions of competition: Varsity all
girl, Varsity co-ed, Junior Varsity
and Junior High. The judges are all
former collegiate cheerleaders and
cheerleading coaches.

Warriors
Staff Correspondent
Dallas Mountaineers will probably
long remember the names of sev-
eral of Wyoming Area’s players,
who played a major role in the Back
Mountain’s team 40-7 loss to the
Warriors last Friday night in the
Wyoming Stadium, It won’t be just
because the Mountaineers lost, but
because their opponents were
bigger, stronger, faster and because
there was no way to stop them all.
When the Dallas defense tried to
key on one Warrior, others took
over and overcame the Mountai-
neers.
Mike Birosak, Wyoming tailback,
scored two touchdowns on carries of
two yards and seven yards and he
rushed for 93 yards. He also
returned the opening kickoff of the
second half for 80 yards to set up a
Warrior score, but stopping him
would not have stopped the War-
riors. Joe Bednarski, alternating
with Birosak, also scored two touch-
downs for the Warriors, one on a
carry into the end zone from one
yard out and a second on a carry
from the 13-yard line. He also added
up more than 100 yards on the
ground.
Wyoming Area’s quarterback Phil
Russo connected for 10 of 18 passes
for 100-plus yards and Ken
Kopetchny was successful on five
receptions for a total of 57 yards
and on 40 yard punt return in the
“The Warriors are a very good
football team,” said Dallas Coach
Ted Jackson. “They are big and
they are fast. Our kids were ner-
vous going into the fame and they
blocked and tackled badly. They got
killed by their special teams.” Jack-
