Lake-Lehman’s Scott Shafer recovered a Northwest
fumble on the opening kickoff in Saturday’s game at
the Black Knights’ field and the Knights took over on
the visitors’ 38-yard line. 3
Quarterback Len Anpetta used nine plays alternat-
ing with backs Bill Dave and Scott Wascalus to lead
the Knights down the field from where Davis went in
game with only 7:55 on the clock. Scott Shafer’s kick
for the extra point went wide and the Knights went in
front 6-0.
Both defenses held for the rest of the first quarter
Wascalus breaks through
but in the opening minutes of the second quarter, the
Knights’ Annetta started to lead his team down field
using short passes to Wascalus and Davis. The
Knights moved from their own 46-yard line to the
Rangers’ 20-yard line where they were stopped cold.
With fourth down and two, Shafer went for a field
goal which was good and the Knights went to 9-0 with
only 3:10 run off the clock.
On the return series, the Rangers quarterback’s
throw on third down was intercepted by Knight Chris
Landmesser at the Knights 48-yard line and three
plays later Annetta hit Landmesser with a 42-yard
touchdown pass. With less than 30 seconds remaining
in the half, Shafer’s PAT was good and the Knights led
16-0 at halftime.
The Rangers offense used different strategy in the
second half, with their quarterback passing more than
he had in the first half. Using short passes, Ed
managed to get by the Knights defense into the
endzone only once.
Late in the third quarter, Kalbach went to Gary
Danilowicz over the middle and when the Knights
defensive end stumbled, Danilowicz connected on a 27-
yard hit into the end zone. Kalbach’s throw to
Danilowicz for two points was interecepted and the
Rangers had six points on the board.
The Knights’ offense was besieged with penalties in
the second half, so Coach Gorgone went to his defense
to hold off the Rangers.
“They’re a good ball club and are a lot better than
they looked today. They have a good back in Michael
Lane, he has a lot of speed. They scared us in the
second half when they started moving the ball on us so
we went to our defense.
“Qur kids did a good job. Davis played an outstand-
ing game, so did Kerkowski, Wascalus, Landmesser,
Sims and Schultz. We started four sophomores today.
We have depth this year and some big kids, something
we haven’t had in a long while.”
The Knights play Tunkhannock this weekend.
“They’re tough, they're big and they’re out to win.
We have our work cut out for us; it’s not going to be
easy,” said Coach Gorgone.
The game is scheduled for Friday night at the
Tigers’ field in Tunkhannock.

Jack Jones and GoalPOST Petie are tied with
perfect 8-0 records as The Dallas Post football
prognosticators head into the third week of the high
school gridiron season.
Jones and Petie, who correctly predicted five games
during the first week and three more during the
second week, are followed by Charlot Denmon and
John Oliver who both sport 7-1 records while Dotty
Yorn and John Hoinski are off to slow starts with 6-2
slates. :
The two leaders jumped ahead of their competition
by" picking Maryland to defeat the University of
Pittsburgh. While Pitt was handed a 10-7 defeat, Jones
and Petie racked up perfect slates. Martin and Hoinski
fell behind by predicting a Bishop Hafey win when
indeed the Queensmen of Bishop O’Reilly handed their
Catholic counterparts a 27-0 thrashing.
This week, John Oliver remains true-blue to Lake-
Lehman as he predicts the Black Knights will pull off
a squeaker over Tunkhannock while Charlot Denmon
is sticking with the Mountaineers to defeat Crestwood.
The prognosticators agree on. the Bishop O’Reilly/
are split on the two college games featured this week.
Jones is alone is predicting North Carolina will defeat
the University of Pittsburgh while Martin goes solo in
selecting Notre Dame over Michigan.
After many hours of practice, the
“Award Winning’’ Lake-Lehman
High School Band under the direc-
tion of Mr. John Miliauskas is ready
to begin the new marching season.
On September 14, drum major,
Missy Hontz, will lead the band in
its first Tournament of Bands com-
petition at Nanticoke High School
Stadium. Their field show will fea-
ture a new appearance. With the
acquisition of new uniforms late last
fall, accented by the traditional
spotless white bucks, the new show
will even be more entertaining.
In addition to the beginning of the
field show season, the band has
already performed in concert at the
Luzerne County Fall Fair.
They have been invited to the
Penn State University’s Wilkes-
Barre Campus to celebrate the Uni-
versity’s 70th anniversary and will
perform on September 18.
~ Dallas, Lehman booters end season half
Dallas leading 6-0.
With McCafferty substituting throughout the periods,
the first half ended 10-0. Highlight of the second half
was Ray Besecker’s hat trick, with Besecker scoring
three consecutive, unassisted goals in the final period.
¢ KNIGHTS LOSE SIX
Ray Dennis’ Black Knights lost six members of the
team through graduation, and will have only two
seniors back this season. Sean Straka and Brian
Kmetz are returning fullbacks, and Rick Titus is a
senior, whom Coach Dennis believes will help the
team. The Knights should also get some strenght from
Chris Scharff, Doug Doerfler and two junior halfbacks
Erin Dennis and Matt Reinert.
“We got off to a slow start but were getting
organized and we should have more success into the
season,” said Dennis. ‘The kids are working hard and
I see quite an improvement.”
The Knights played their opener against last year’s
championship team, Wyoming Seminary, who has high
hopes of taking the Conference crown again. Seminary
led only 2-1 in the first half but came on strong scoring
three goals in the third and the fourth periods to win 8-
B
TAKE 35 SHOTS
The Blue Knights took 35 shots while the Black
Knights took only 10. Chris Scharff was the standout
for Lake-Lehman, coming into the game five minutes
into the first period and playing aggressive defense.
Scharff made seven of the Black Knights 10 shots on
goal. Scharff, on an assist by Doug Doerfler, scored
his team’s. only goal.
Coach Dennis used his new strategy in the Seminary
game, using two forwards, four halfbacks and no
strikers and thought it worked well for the length of
time they have worked on it. Dennis is emphasizing
conditioning for his team because they tire and let
down in the second half.
SCHARFF SCORES FOUR
In the Black Knights game with Pittston, Thursday,
Chris Scharff scored four goals to lead the team to its
9-0 shutout. Reinert and Titus also had two goals each.
Eric Smith scored the final point for the Knights in the
final period.
Scharff scored his first goal on an assist by Reinert
25 seconds into the first period. Reinert with an assist
by Doerfler, put one in 10:20 of the period to take a 2-0
lead.
In the second period, Scharff, with an assist by Jody
Hummel, scored four minutes into the period and
Reinert made it 4-0 on a pass assist from Doerfler at
10:30 into the second period.
KNIGHTS HELD SCORELESS
The Patriots held the Knights scoreless until the
final 10 minutes of the third period when they broke
loose and put in four goals. Titus scored assisted by
Manzoni. Scharff scored unassisted at 13:08 into the
period, scored again on an asssit by Reinert at 16:40
into the period and Titus scored a fourth with an assist

into the quarter and Dale Morris added a goal a
minute later. Richard scored two goals, one seven
minutes into the period and one 12 minutes on assists
from Lipo and Mark Richardson. Snowdon put the
final goal in on an assist by Bruce Weyman.
In the last period, Richard scored two minutes into
the period on an assist by Weyman, Jim Lister,
assisted by Dave Morris, socred and Paul Clemm
scored with an assist by Morris.
MORRIS SCORES FIRST
It was Dale Morris who scored the first goal for the
Mountaineers on a penalty kick at 10 minutes into the
opening period. Eric Rosentel also scored two goals in
the first half.
Chris Dolfi and Bob Aigeldinger scored the two goals
for the Comets.
In Tuesday’s game with Tunkhannock, the Mountai-
neers had too much experience and thus, too much
skill, for the young, inexperienced Tigers.
Tunkhannock Coach Larry Griffin was not surprised
at the score because he knew that the Mountaineers
were capable of scoring a higher number of goals than
he did. Griffin said his chief -aim this season is to
teach the older boys some skills because they have
never played to develop them. He believes their
success is dependent upon how well they learn the
game.
Coach McCafferty sympathized with the Tigers
because he had been in that spot when his teams were
just beginning.
FINN BEATS GOALTENDER
Reese Finn beat the Tiger Goaltender and gave
Dallas a 1-0 lead. Rosentel scored the second goal to
give Dallas a 2-0 score. Within a few minutes, the
Mountaineers led 5-0 and the first period ended with

Mountaineers.
They proved they are out to play last week despite
going against young teams.
