“We lack depth on the squad
this season,” said Lake-Lehman
wrestling Coach Ed Ladamus.
“We have less than 20 boys
working out and many of these
are new Kids. It’s a lot less than
usual. If a boy gets hurt we’ll be
in trouble.
“Over the past few years, we
have had a*34-8 record,” Lada-
mus added. “We can’t expect t
odo that well this season. We
will have to forfeit 98-1b., unless
a boy comes out in the next
week or so.”
The Knights lost six starters
through graduation, two of
them, Austin and Joe Smith
placed at states. Other starters
last year were Mark Yaple, Bill
George, Bob Guzenski and Ed
Monaco, Terry Smith and Chris
Frederick. Timmy Bernick
should do well as should Ted
Naugle and Tom Wandel but
these latter boys need A more
experience.
Ladamus said in his opinion
the teams to beat this year are
Wyoming Area, Meyers and
Hazleton.
“Maybe it’s our turn to lose
this year, but we’ll be in there
doing the best we can. You
never know. Our kids are tough
competitors,” he said.

jayvee wrestler in the area last
year, is working out and will be
on the squad. Sophomores Tom
Duffy and Sean Clark are work-
ing hard and should fit into
middleweight spots. Others
looking good are Anthony
Stratford.
Although the Knights lack
depth this season, they have
some good wrestlers coming
back. Junior Matt Reinert is a
good middleweight and Senior
Dave Guzenski, injured last
season, is a good lightweight.
Don Spencer, who suffered an
injury in football, is now fully
recovered and will be back in

The Dallas High School wres-
tling program has been on the
downside the last few years. But
with 27 lettermen returning
from last year’s squad, things
are finally beginning to look up.
“We can finally see the light
at the end of the tunnel,” coach
Larry Schuler said. “We have
six seniors returning and we
also have a lot of depth. I can
realistically see us going .500 or
better.”
Jerry Ogurkis, (155), Jim
O’Donnell (105-112) Eric Olsen
(119) Bill Janosky (138) Mike
Richards (138-145) and Gene
Faulls (138-145) all had fine
seasons last year and should
again provide the strength for
this year’s squad.
But Schuler will have plenty
of depth should injuries set in as
was the case last year.
O’Donnell, Art Meholchick,
Jim Neweel and Dale Morris
will operate in the lower weight
classes as will Truyen Huynh
and Keith Graham, who had an
outstanding year last season on
the junior varsity level.
Scott Drasnin, Nathan Kelly
and Lee Williams will be com-
peting at the 132 and 138 classes
675-4232
while Mike Keen, Brian Gay
and Ron Post will do so at 145
and 138 respectively.
The Strange brothers, James
and John will be at the 155 and
167 pound spots and Paul Mehol-
chick, a senior, will do battle at
167. Dale Williams and Tom
Schacht will wrestle in the heav-
ier levels.
“We will be solid through the
middle weights, but we are also
young,”’ Schuler explained.
“Our main goal is to improve on
last year’s record and to
improve steadily as the season
progresses’’
Wyoming Area and Meyers
will probably be the teams to
shoot for, but Hanover, Crest-
wood and Coughlin should all be
tough, too. The Mounts, how-
ever, will not be intimidated.
“I think we can hang in there
