(C.M. Denmon Photo) Lake-Lehman volleyball team takes second in tournament BY CHARLOT M. DENMON Staff Writer Lake-Lehman volleyball team traveled to Northeastern York last weekend to compete in the Bobcat Invitational Tournament and came Som; with ‘second place in the ompetition which consisted of the 10 strongest teams in the eastern half of the state of Pennsylvania. The Knights outstanding perform- ance was no surprise to the high school’s volleyball enthusiasts for the Black Knights were ranked second in the eastern half of Penn- sylvania and fifth in the entire state last week by the Pennsyl- vania State Coaches Association, who polls teams each week. In the Round Robin competition phn Baranowski finished second on its court and advanced to the semi-finals by defeating Coughlin 15-6, 15-5 in the quarter-finals. d The Knights advanced to the 8 York, the Knights coached by finals by defeating = Northeastern York 15-11, 15-1. In the finals they went against ‘Central York and in the first game the Knights lost 13- 15 after going an entire rotation with the score 13-14 before Central York scored the winning point. In the second game, the Knights were defeated 15-1 by Central York which was ironic since the Black Knights defeated that same team in the Round Robin. ; This year’s volleyball team is perhaps the strongest team Coach John Baranowski has had since he took over the position as head volleyball coach 13 years ago. : He has a lot of seniors on the squad, three of them first team All- Scholastics-Alex Frederick, Allen Andes and Rocky Lopasky; and three second team All-Scholastics- Eric Marucca, John Baranowski and Andrew Sabalusky. He also has two outstanding substitutes in Stan- ley Scott and Randy Jones. The Black Knights are considered the favorite to take the league title this season and got off to a good start last week by defeating Dallas 15-0, 15-5; and Meyers 15-0, 15-1. This week they are= set to meet Nanticoke Area and West Side Tech. 8 The Knights win over Meyers last week marked their 40th consecutive win, having lost their last league match in 1984. This is Coach Bara- nowski’s 13th year with the team and during that time he has com- piled a record of 116 wins and nine losses, six of those losses in 1976, his first year of coaching. Baranowski never played volley- ball but he was interested in the sport and learned to coach by reading ‘books about it and by attending various clinics. The more he learned the more enthusiastic he became about the sport and through the years he has developed a strong program at the Back Mountain school. The past three years, his teams have gone unde- feated with a 13-0 record in 1987, 13-0. in 1986 and 12-0 in 1985. Prior to taking the Wyoming Valley Conference championship the past three years, the Knights took the title in 1977, 1979, 1980, 1981, and 1983. They were also District 2 champs in 1977, 1983, 1985, 1986, and 1987, and runners up in 1978, 1979, 1980, 1981, 1982 and 1984. For 10 of the 12 previous years, Baranowski’s Knights have been state qualifiers. 1976 and 1978 were the only two years they didn’t make it.

Back Mt. well represented in game BY CHARLOT M. DENMON Staff Writer This year’s Unico All-Star West Team will have a strong represen- tation from the Back Mountain High Schools when the squads take the field, June 23, at the Pittston field in the 37th Annual Unico East- West Charity Classic.- Dallas and Tunkhannock enter with the most players, eight each, and Lake-Lehman has three. North- west will be represented by two players, Bart Matschat, RB-DE; and Robert Turak OT-DT. The Mountaineers will be repre- sented by Kyle Boudreaux LB-TE, Tom Charney OT-DT, Dave Cooper DG-DE, Ben Kern DG-OT, Mike Koprowski RB, Eric Moore, R-DB, Eric Olsen DB-QB, and Jon Wagner, DB. The Lake-Lehman Knights will have Chris Frederick RB-DE, Jim Sabol and Scott Shafer on the West squad. ' The Tigers eight players selected for the West ‘team are Gary Bren- nan DB-QB, Rich Clark F-DB, Len Dymond DT-C, Mike Grohs LB-TE, Kevin Hutchins K, Steve King FB- DE, Dave Ritz TE-LB and Paul Tuffy RD-LB. Alternates from the Back Moun- tain schools are Mark Buss, Bill Janosky and Joe Shandra, Dallas; Ryan Shupp, Tunkhannock; Allen Andes, Kevin Casey and Rocky . ‘Lopasky, Lake-Lehman; ‘Ed Kal- bach and Dave Reider, Northwest. Coaches for the West team are Pittston Area’s Bob Barbieri and Wyoming Area’s Frank Parra. Winner of this year’s game is unpredictable for the West squad has Eastern Conference Dallas Mountaineers champs and Tunk- hannock’s runnerup squad while the East team has the Ismail broth- ers from Meyers and Nanticoke’s outstanding quarterback Jim McDermott. The game is comparable to the traditional Old Shoe game between the Dallas Mountaineers and the Lake-Lehman Knights-record books and statistics go out the window when the All-Star players from teams throughout the conference come together in friendly rivalry to play their final high school game. It should be a fun game for the players and the fans and the team, who gets the big play or the big break will probably win the game. Last year’s game ended in a 6-6 tie. dung SEND NOW FOR INFORMATION ON. .. e Day and Evening Classes e Career Programs e Industrial Certification e Customized Training e Financial Aid - If Eligible e Job Placement You can become a skilled WELDER - MAKE YOUR MARK ON AMERICA!
