This year’s Dallas High
School soccer team was the
first Wyoming Valley Confer-
ence team ever to advance to
inter-districts and Mark
Richardson, captain of the
team, attributes that success
to the fact that the members
played as one.
“No one tried to be ‘the’
star,” said Mark. ‘‘Each
member knew what he was to
do and tried his best to do
it.”
As captain of the team,
Mark was the spokesman on
the field. He made all the
calls and did an outstanding
job in his position by trans-
mitting his dedication and his
enthusiasm to the other play-
ers.
He never bothered to keep
a record of the goals or
assists he made but counted
on the contributions of every
member to help win the
game. Mark believes this
year’s team was hungrier to
win than were past teams.
Mark’s proudest moment
was when the Mountaineers
defeated Notre Dame, the
win that advanced them in
the competition. This was
also the first year that the
Mountaineers defeated Wyo-
ming Seminary, although
they tied them once last
season.
“There is a rivalry between
Seminary and Dallas but it is
a friendly rivalry,” said
Mark. ‘“There’s more rivalry
among the adults which
sometimes creates prob-
lems.”
Son of Mr. and Mrs. Robert
Richardson of Dallas, Mark
played center halfback on the
Dallas varsity since he was a
sophomore. He first went out
for soccer when he was in
third grade, but didn’t like it
so he dropped out. In sixth
grade, he gave it another try
and this time liked it well
enough to continue. It
became one of his favorite
sports and since there was no
junior high team, Mark
played in the Back Mountain
Soccer Association until he
made the varsity team in
10th grade.
Mark gives a lot of credit to
his teammates Jason Manis-
kas, John Sheehan and Matt
Lipo. He also said that Scott
Marshall, Jan Vanderhogen
and Chris Fetterman did out-
standing work.
‘‘Eighteen juniors will
return next year so Dallas
should have a very strong
team for years to come.
Soccer is now played year-
round so all of the teams are
getting stronger,” said Mark.
Mark believes there should
be no comparison between
football and soccer. He feels
there are outstanding ath-
letes in both sports, and there
are so many athletes who
can’t make a football team,
but excel in soccer.
“If you like it (soccer),
you'll be good at it; if you
don’t like it you'll never be
good’’, said Mark.
Mark is an honor student,
member and treasurer of the
National Honor Society, vice

Wherever he continues his
higher education, Mark hopes
there is a soccer program
because he would like to con-
tinue playing.
