(
Dallas Junior High School girls’
basketball team defeated Lake-
Lehman 35-24 last Thursday to
advance to a playoff against GAR
last Saturday for the overall junior
high girls Division 2 title in District
II of the Wyoming Valley Confer-
ence.
In Saturday’s game, played at
Meyers High School, the Dallas
29-27.
Jennifer Besecker led the young
Mountaineers in scoring with 12
points in Saturday’s game with
G.A.R. She was also the leading
rebounder in the game. Jennifer
Vloedman put in seven points and
Laura Poynton added six.
“Poynton did not score a lot of
points in Saturday’s game,” said
Coach Tom Kilduff, but she made
some key shots when we needed
them. “She is what you call a team
leader, great at ball handling, going
for assists or scoring. Whenever we
need points we go to Poynton
because she will make them or get
the ball to the girl who is in the
position to make them.”
Both teams played a very aggres-
sive game but. Dallas had cold
hands in the first half while GAR
missed key shots in the second half
and fell behind. In the final period,
Dallas slowed down the game which
kept the scoring down.
The win advances Dallas to a
game with Nanticoke Tuesday, 6:30
p.m. for the overall District II title.
Nanticoke took the Divison I junior
high title.
In the game with Lake-Lehman,
Poynton and Besecker combined for
18 points, nine each to pace the
scoring.
Dallas took an early lead ending
the first period with a five point
margin over the Knights. In the
second period, the Knights were
outscored 8-4 by the Mountaineers
who led 16-7 at halftime.
The Knights played even basket-
ball in the third period but in the
final period Dallas’ defense was too
overpowering for the Knights and
the Mounts outscored them 13-11 to
take the 35-24 win.
