The Dallas Mountaineers continue undefeated in
Division II of the Wyoming Valley Football Conference
after defeating G.A.R., 12-7 Saturday afternoon at the
Mountainers Stadium before a large homecoming
crowd.
The Grenadiers, who outplayed the Mountaineers
throughout the entire first half, were leading 7-6 with
only 1:45 remaining in the game. After Gerry Mihal-
ick’s field goal kick was blocked by Greg Skrepenak in
the fourth quarter, many of the fans decided to get out
of the rain and were leaving the stadium.
Their departure was just minutes too soon because
after a change of possessions, the Grenadiers took
over with only two minutes left on the clock. Quarter-
Mountaineers were not giving up that easily and a hit
by Dallas’ Dan Williams on Snyder forced GAR to
punt the ball.
Ryan Holthaus blocked the Grenadier’s punt and
Rich Long picked up the loose ball and went 35 yards
for a Dallas touchdown to give the Mountainers a 12-7
lead. Tim Lyons tried for a two-point pass to Long but
it was incomplete.
The Mountaineers were outplayed throughout the
first half by a big and strong Grenadier team. Playing
without three of their starters, the Grenadiers closed
down the Dallas running attack in the first half,
holding them to only 25 yards on offense. Andy Macko
and Skrepenak broke through to the Mountaineers’

kick for the PAT was blocked by Skrepenak and the
