8 The Dallas Post Dallas, PA . Wednesday, October 12, 1988 SPORTS ‘Dallas readies for Crestwood after loss BY CHARLOT M. DENMON Staff Writer : Dallas Coach Ted Jackson makes no excuses for his Mountaineers 21-8loss to Pittston last Friday night. “Pittston deserved to win,” Jackson said. “Our kids didn't play bad but they didn’t play good-just so-so. Pittston played better than we did and it helped that they had J.R. Richards back. He gave them the lift they needed. ~ “The Patriots played with confi- dence and that came from Richards. He executed beautifully when we ‘were ahead. He played a great game, Jackson stated. Jackson didn't take anything: away from the rest of the Pittston team. He gave their defense credit for some good performances. Phil Pisano took eight of Richard's passes and intercepted two of Jay Straigis’ passes, who had four interceptions in the game. Errors and penalties - also hurt the Mountaineers and their offense didn't play as it usually does. The Mountaineers weregiven two points in the second quarter when "Richards slipped with the ball in- side his own endzone and caused a safety. Jerry Ogurkis put the Moun- ~ taineers in front with a touchdown in the fourth quarter when he went : 26 yards for a touchdown. His kick for the extra point failed. Richards led his team in a nine play 60-yard drive that ended in a touchdown hit from Richards to Lenza for six points and a two-point conversion pass to Pisano gave the PATS a 14-8 lead. The next Pittston score came after Pisano’s intercep- tion of a Straigis pass at the Dallas 25-yard line. On third down Fran George took the ball into the endzone for six points. Cosmos Salerno kicked the extra point to give the PATS their 21-8 win. “Straigis is doing a good job for us coming in as he has had to without much experience but with Crestwood coming up we hope Jay Cherup will be back. (Cherup was injured in the Tunkhannock game). It's too early to tell whether or not he'll be able to play, we won't know until Thursday or Friday. “Crestood is a division game and we need to win. They're tough. They have won their last three games and the past week they played a super game against Nanticoke, almost perfect. We have our work cut out for us, it's not going to be easy,” Jackson predicted.

(Photo contributed) Gretchen Schuler stars for Dallas cross country BY CHARLOT M. DENMON Staff Writer Dallas sophomore Gretchen Schuler is becoming a well-known athlete among Back Mountain fans. Gretchen, a member of the Dallas High School girls cross country team, has set two new records over the Mountaineers 3.2 track, her latest finish in 20:10 and has come in first in all but two of the Lady Mountain- eers meets this season. Last season, as a freshman, Gretchen ran cross country and played junior high field hockey. This season she gave it a lot of thought before she finally decided to give up | playing field hockey and concen- trate on cross country. Gretchen started running when she was in seventh grade and was a member of the track team. She en- joyed running and decided she wanted to continue because it makes her feel good. She runs daily averag- ing approximately five miles each day. “It's relaxing after a bad day in school,” said Gretchen. “I hope to break another record for the Dallas team and also place in districts and go to states. My goal at states is to place in the top 10 runners.” Last year Gretchen qualified for states and made the top 12 after coming in second in district compe- tition. During the summer she ran in the YMCA's three mile race and placed first in her age group. Gretchen plans to goout for track in the spring where she enters a mixture of events, sprints and long runs. During her freshman year, she did the 400, 800 mile and two mile relays. She hopes someday to run in the Olympics but says it will be a while. This year the girls have a full team with Schuler, sophomore Lynn Baluh, Sherry Terescavage, a jun- ior; Kerry Burke, Kelly Terescavage, Ann Balonis and Tracy Karuza. Gretchen, whose parents are Mr. and Mrs. Larry Schuler of Shaver- town, runs with her dad during the summer. In her leisure time she likes to watch basketball and volleyball when they are in season. Although only a sophomore, Gretchen is looking forward to the future when she plans to attend college. In the meantime, she is concentrating on running. She has one more league meet, a tri-meet . with Hazleton and Wyoming Area, October 18, and then district com- petition October 27.

DENMON Staff Writer Going into this week's game with Bishop O'Reilly Lake-Lehman Coach Rich Gorgone knew his Knights had the potential to win their game with the Queensmen. Knowing they had the potential and being sure they would use it was the question. He had some reservation because O'Reilly’s coach Mark Boyle was a graduate of Lake-Lehman and two years ago was an assistant coach for the Knights. “I didn't have to worry for very long Saturday,” Gorgone said after the game commenting on his Knights 34-6 win. “On our first possession the kids drove downfield and Rich James went in from the six for a touchdown. Chris Engle’s kick was good and we were in front 7-0. “That was just the beginning. On our next possession Lenny Annetta hit John Baranowski with a perfect throw and Baranowski ran down the side for a second touchdown and Engle’s kick was good to give us a first period 14-0 lead. “Our kids played well although we did have O'Reilly outmanned. It was good for us because it gave our younger kids an opportunity to get experience. It was a great game to win at midway in the season. I'm happy with 5-1, it’s along time since we have had such a record at this point. Our concern now is GAR this Saturday. The game with them counts and the Grenadiers are an explosive team. “They have some excellent ath- letes and two or three great backs we'll have to stop. They're a first and goal team and their backs can run all over the place.” The Knights were too much for the Queensmen as they controlled the ball most of the time and played a great running game piling up nearly 200 yards on the ground. O'Reilly's quarterback Steve Fahey threw some nice passes but the Knights’ first team did a good job of defending. In the second quarter, Annetta connected with Rich Hill- man for a second touchdown pass to give the Knights a 21-0 lead. When the Queensmen took pos- session they were unable to move the ball and had to kick. O'Reilly's Roberts punted for 36 yards to Rob Michaels on the Knights 40 yard -.. line but Michaels faked to the middle then crossed to the sideline and ran for a 60 yard touchdown to give the Knights a 27-0 score. In the second half Gorgone used his bench and gave all of his players an opportunity to get in the game which cut down the score. The younger Knights scored only one touchdown but Gorgone was pleased with they way they played. Lake-Lehman sports roundup Field hockey ties WVW, shuts out Northwest 6-0 BY CHARLOT M.
