hoe Le ) # “ ember 6, 1985 11 Defeated by Hoban By CHARLOT M. DENMON Staff Correspondent The Dallas/Bishop Hoban football game played last Friday night at Wilkes-Barre Memorial Stadium was a carry for 34 yards by Hoban’s Jay Yozviak proved to be the six point score that gave his Argent team the win, raising Hoban’s record to 6-3 while the Mountai- neers dropped to 5-4. : Neither team did much on offense and it wasn’t until the second period that Yozviak made his 34-yard touchdown run into the endzone. Quarterback Gene Krupa moved his team into Mountaineer territory with Crestwood romps two passes near the end of the first period. In the opening of the second quarter, Hoban caught Dallas with a blitz and, on a reverse play, Yozviak carried the ball in for the touchdown with 10:08 remaining on the clock. Argent Dave Sudo kicked the extra point to give Bishop Hoban 7-0 lead. Mountaineer Mike Koprowski intercepted Krupa’s pass late in the second quarter and took it to the Argents 17-yard line but a personal foul on the Mountaineers moved them back to the 32-yard line. The Argents defense rose to the test and forced Dallas to give up the ball on downs. Dallas had another opportunity to score in the second half on Mark Chester’s block of an Argent punt which gave Dallas the ball on Bishop Hoban’s 35-yard By JOHN F. KILDUFF Staft Writer The Lake-Lehman Black Knights came to within inches of reaching the top of the Division III Confer- ence mountain this past Saturday afternoon, only to slip and slide all the way to the bottom after their 62-7 thrashing at the hands of the Crestwood Comets. The lopsided victory secured the Division III title for Head Coach Bill Jones’ Comets with a perfect 5-0 division slate. The Comets are 9-1 overall. division III. Black Knight Head Coach Rich Gorgone expected a tough game heading into the contest, but neither the mentor nor the large Parent’s Day crowd could have guessed the 62-7 rout. The Crestwood victory is expected to give the Comets a playoff berth in the Eastern Conference “B’’ Division. Crestwood was high-powered on offense as senior halfback Mike Olean romped his way to four touch- downs. Olean tallied three times in the first half @coring on a pass interception, a kick-off return and a five yard TD pass reception. The senior back scored his fourth TD of the day on the first play of the third quarter when he galloped 62 yards to paydirt. : The 62-yard scoring run gave Olean an incredible 106 yards on nine carries for the day. Comet quarterback Bill Chesna also performed well Saturday with 161 yards of passing yardage with 11 for 17 including three TD passes. Comet mentor Bill Jones said following the game that things just seemed to go the Comets’ way all day. ““T just cannot believe we blew them (Lake Lehman) out so badly,” said Jones. “I thought they were were lucky enough to get a few early breaks,’”’ Jones said. “One thing is for sure,” said Jones. “We sure are happy to win and possibly go on to the division championships. I am so proud of my players. They really worked hard all year for just this kind of opportunity.” Crestwood took an early 6-0 lead in the first quarter following a fluke play on a Comet punt. After Lake Lehman held the Comets on their first offensive series, the punt bounced and hit a Lake-Lehman player. Dallas booters Crestwood’s Joe Brozinski recovered at the Lake- Lehman 45-yard line. After two first downs, Chesna connected with split end Mike Sinco from six yards out for an early 6-0 lead. The PAT was missed by kicker Gordon Kutz. Lehman’s second costly turnover came during the next series of offense when freshman quarterback Len Annetta was intercepted at his own 20-yard line. Olean quick 13-0 lead. Kutz’ PAT was good. : However, Crestwood was not finished harrassing the young signal caller from Lehman as they intercepted another Annetta pass during the next Black Knight offensive series. This time Kuntz, playing in the safety slot, stepped in front of the ball intended for Chris Landmesser at the 34-yard line and returned the ball to the Lake Lehman 19-yard line. On third and six, Chesna found split end Tom Harden all alone in the endzone for stunning 19-0 lead. Gorgone’s team fought back by blocking a Comet punt at the 21 yard line. Quarterback Annetta then found fullback Jeff Martin for a 2-yard TD pass to cut the Crestwood lead to 19-7. The Lehman momentum was short-lived, however. The Comets came right back for a score with the ensuing kick-off when Olean returned the ball 87 yards for his team’s fourth score the first half. The Comets went for a two-point conversion with Olean bowling over from two yards out to give the Comets a commanding 27-7 lead. The first half ended with two more Crestwood scores when Dean Ambrosie scored on a one yard plunge and Chesna connected with Olean for a five yard TD to give the Comets a 40-7 half-time lead. Olean scored again on the first play of the third quarter by stomping 62 yards around right-end for a quick TD score, giving the Comets a 47-7 lead. Lake Lehman drove to within five yards of paydirt but Annetta was intercepted at the goalline by linebacker Brad Rinehimer. The Comets drove 88 yards for their 54-7 lead when Ambrosie scored on a six yard run. Crestwood’s final eight points came late in the fourth quarter when the underclassmen played with Scott Rutkoski scoring on a battered Lehman defense with a 34-yard TD score. The two-point conversion was good and the game ended with Crestwood lighting up the scoreboard 62-7. Lake Lehman will host Bishop Hoban this Saturday afternoon at 2 p.m. line. Big runs by Ron Ostrowski and Scott Francis took the Mountaineers to the Argents 6-yard line, then rushes by Ostrowski put them at the 1-yard line. The Argents once more stiffened their offense and on fourth and one, they held the Mountaineers and took possession. The Mountaineers defense rose to the occasion and held the Argents in their own territory forcing them to punt on fourth down from the 1-yard line. A Dallas attempt for another blocked punt failed but the Mounisineers gained possession on the Argent 28-yard ine. Dallas offense moved the ball to the 14-yard line in two plays but the Argents failed to give and Sudo and Chris Van Hecke sacked Dallas QB Scott Francis for a 7-yard loss. ; Francis went to Ramirez on the 4-yard line but officials called a holding penalty and the Mountaineers were pushed back. Francis’ next two passes were incomplete, dashing Dallas’ hopes for a touchdown. Francis turned in a fine performance at quarterback for the Mountaineers, completing seven of 16 passes for 48 yards. Both starting quarterback Tim Lyons and back-up quarterback Mike Konopke are out of the lineup with injuries as is offense starter Dan Williams. Despite several players out with injuries, the Mountai- neers piled up 125 yards on the ground while the Argents rushed for 87. ¥ This week the Mountaineers meet Pittston Area Saturday at home. Game time is 2 p.m. defeated Chris Saul scored two goals in the second half of the match with Field. The Mountaineers’ Wally Gau- thier gave Dallas a 1-0 lead, 13:01 into the first period when he scored unassisted, first dribbling the ball then chipping it past goal tender Jeff Metz to give Dallas the lead. It appeared the Mountaineers might preserve their one point lead when their strong, physical defense turned back the Blue Knights on at least a half dozen scoring opportuni- ties in the first half. The Knights got the ball near the net several times in the first half but each time goal tender John Sheehan knocked the ball away. Saul attempted to tie the score with less than two minutes remaining in the first half but Shee- han turned away Saul’s kick and with only 10 seconds left in the half, Sheehan made another spectacular save when he deflected a direct kick by Seminary’s Chris Schenefield. P going home with a win late in the third quarter when their defense continued to thwart Saul’s attempts to send the ball into the net. The Blue Knights closed ranks behind Saul and with only three seconds on the clock in the third period, Dave Heydt crossed the ball and Sheehan came out and made a good play but the ball rebounded off his chest and came out toward Saul. Saul came out of the pack in front of the net and knocked the ball past Sheehan’s right side to tie the score at 1-1. The score by Saul seemed to give the Blue Knights the spark they needed and continuing to play with a tight team effort in the fourth period, Saul scored the winning goal, unassisted, off a rebound, at 12:56 into the final quarter, to save the match from going into overtime.

Ed Campbell, last week’s leader, slipped into a tie with staff corre- spondent Charlot Denmon as both sport identical 48-20 records. Goal- POST Petie, who had enjoyed a rather victorious early season, fell to a tie for third place with editor Dotty Martin as the two hold 47-21 |records. Staff writer John Kilduff, while continuing to vote against his fellow prognosticators, still holds up the bottom of the ladder with a 32-36 slate. Kilduff, however, was the only one to get the Valley West-Berwick game correct last week as the Spartans handed the Puppy Dogs - opps, the Bulldogs - a 13-7 defeat. Kilduff joined Gula in selecting the Pitt/Syracuse winner as the Orangemen handed the Panthers a 12-0 defeat. All six prognosticators got skunked on the Dallas/Bishop Hoban game where the Mountai- neers were given a unanimous chance only to fall to defeat, 7-0. Campbell and Petie remained faith- ful to the Back Mountain in giving Lehman the edge over Crestwood only to have their Black Knights fall to a 62-7 victory. To round out last week’s college games, Penn State and Notre Dame both game all six prognosticators wins as they were the unanimous choices in their games with Boston College and Navy, respectively. In this week’s games, Pittston Area gets the nod over Dallas while the prognosticators are split on the Lake-Lehman Bishop Hoban game. Seminary is a favorite over Lawr- enceville as are the Queensmen of Bishop O’Reilly over West Side Tech. In the college games, Penn State gets the nod to defeat Cincinnati, Mississippi and Pitt should pick up a victory over Temple.
