DENMON Staff Writer Dallas girls basketball team finished a frustrating season last week by losing to both Hazleton Thursday, 63-44, and earlier in the week to Bishop Hoban 72-42. Despite playing against teams with much more experience and much taller in size, the Dallas ountaineers refused to give up “and played the best they could against their opponents through- 2out the season. The young girls areto be com- “mended. They lacked size, expe- rience, and strength in compari- son to the other Division AAA schools and although no one would blame them if they with- drew, none of them did. They stayed with the team and worked hard. In the final week of the season, Hazleton coasted to vic- tory behind Debbie Bredbenner and Joanne Esposito who col- lected 44 of tieir team’s points. The Hazleton team ran their record to 6-3 while the Dallas Mountaineers dropped to 1-8. Dallas’ Laura Poynton, who has been the sparkplug of the Dallas team during the season hit for 14 points and helped her team take a 22-16 lead in the first half before Hazleton went on their scoring spree. The Mountaineers were trounced by the Argents of Bishop Hoban Monday behind the double figure scoring of Kathy Hudak, Robin Klem and Krista Zoka. The Mountaineers were unable to hit well from the field but did connect for 26-0f-40 from the foul line. They managed only eight successful shots from the playing court. Jennifer Besecker led the Mountaineers in scoring tossing in three two-pointers from the field and mking six-for-eight from the free Stripe for a total’ of 12. Renee Balberchak added 11 points by putting two shots through the nets from the court and dumping in seven-for-10 . from the charity stripe.
