DENMON Staff Writer Winning may not be everything, but both Dallas and Lake-Lehman would have preferred it to tying Saturday in the 40th Old Shoe game. The Dallas Mountaineers took the Division AA title Saturday by play- ing to the 21-21 tie with Lake- Lehman at the Knights field. The tie advances the Mountain- eers to the opening round of the Eastern Conference playoffs Satur- day where they will play Riverside at Riverside in Taylor. The tie drops the Lake-Lehman Knights to third place in the AA division on the heels of second place Bishop Hoban. “It was a good game,” said Dallas Coach Ted Jackson. “It would have been better to win it but the kids played well. They made some out- ~ standing plays but in some spots they could have done better. it’s not great to come out with a tie but Lehman has a tough team and we had to do it. The kids have played some tough games this season and I believe they deserve to win. They were undefeated in Division AA and deserve the title. Dallas faces tough Riverside “We have a tough game this Sat- urday. Riverside won the Big 11 Conference. They have some good running backs and some outstand- ing linemen. They defeated all the AA teams in the Scranton area.” Dallas senior Shawn Ruth, inside linebacker and guard, said it was really a good game. “It's always a battle but Saturday's game was tough. Both teams hit hard. After we went ahead of the Knights, they "It was a great day for the Back Mountain” Rich Gorgone Lake-Lehman coach came back to tie it up. There was a good spoortsmanship on both sides, tempers flared several times but, overall, both teams stayed cool,” Ruth said. “Riverside, we've had no chance to look at them yet but I understand that they are a tough team. We'll have our hands full this week but with a lot of team effort, heart and desire we should come out on top.” According to Jackson, the two schools will share the “Old Shoe Trophy’ this year, six months at each school. He didn't know who would have the Shoe which six months. That will rest with the administrators at the two schools. If Dallas had lost to Lake-Lehman the Mountaineers would have still gone to the playoffs even though they would have shared the regular season title with Lake-Lehman and Hoban. That's what Jackson did not want to happen. He told his players he didn't want to ‘back in’ to the Eastern Conference but wanted to ‘go in’ the front door. Dallas draws first blood The Mountaineers scored first’ early in the first quarter by taking the kickoff and driving down field. Jerry Ogurkis went for 28 yards in three carries, then quarterback Jay Cherup hit Scott Starbuck who went 59 yards for the touchdown. Ogurkis kicked the extra point and Dallas was on the board 7-0 with nearly 10 minutes remaining in the quarter. Lake-Lehman field hockey loses on changed call The Lake-Lehman girls hockey team was eliminated from the PIAA Class AA interdistrict playoffs last Thursday when they lost 2-1 to the Lancaster Mennonites. Lancaster Mennonite, District 3 champions with a 20-3 record took a 1-Olead in the first half when their Ann Lehman scored unassisted at 11:26. They held the lead until 2:30 left in the second half when Knight Carolyn James hit the ball into the cage. Juli Hess knocked the free hit to Wendy Skibitsky on right wing. When Skibitsky centered the ball James knocked the ball in for a score to tie the game at 1-1. The Lancaster team scored the winning goal on a controversial call i only seconds remaining in the On an offensive rush by Lancas- ter the ball went over the end line and the referee signaled a free hit for the Knights. The Knights went upfield to get into position but the official changed her call and sig- naled it a free hit for Lancaster Mennonite. A Lancaster player took the free hit but the Knights were still up field because of the change in the call and only three backs were in posi- tion on defense for Lake-Lehman. When the Lancaster player knocked the ball into the circle, Cindy Groff hit it past Becky James for the score. The win knocks the Knights out ofthe state competition. The Knights ended the year with a 13-4-1 record. Lady Knights knocked out of volleyball tourney BY CHARLOT M. DENMON Staff Writer Lake-Lehman volleyball ‘ coach Bob Rogers knew his girls were going up against some tough teams in the state AA competition but he thought his team could beat some of their opponents if they played as they had during the regular season. His Lady Knights were worried going into their first game after seeing the Conneaut team before they went on the floor. Conneaut, from Dis- trict 10 and sporting a 20-0 record ended their game with Lake-Lehman in a hurry with a 15-0 and 15-1 win in two games. The loss left the girls intimidated and they got off to a bad start with their second opponent in the round- robin tournament. Farrell, District 7 champion with a 13-3 record de- feated the Knights 15-3 in the first match but had a more difficult time in the second, although the Knights lost 15-10. Denise Davis played outstanding for the Knights and DeeDee Mazur and Lisa Petruska had some good kills for their team.

After failing to make the first down and the third down, the Knights went into field goal forma- tion with Chris Engle in position for the kick. Instead he took the snap and rolled to the right where he hit Rob Michaels in the endzone for a 10-yard score. Engle’s kick was good and the Knights evened the score with 6:06 on the clorl Dallas leads at half The Mountaineers scored in the second quarter and took a 14-7 lead into the locker room at the half. The Knights scored twice in the third quarter when Michaels ran for 17 yards then caught a 26-yard pass to give Lake-Lehman a first down on the Dallas.

Dallas refused to be outplayed and Ogurkis carried the ball for 20 yards and a first down then quarter- back Cherup took it to the Knights 29 yard line. On the next play Chris Lesjak carried the ball to the 22 and then on the next play ran 22 yards for the score.

Lake-Lehman senior fullback Scott Wascalus said he thought his team should have won but both teams were evening matched. “We would like to have been able to say we beat Dallas but it didn’t happen. We were too evenly matched. I was surprised at the good sportsmanship since Saturday’s game was an important one for us and for Dallas. For the most part, the players stayed in line.” “It was a great day for the Back Mountain,” said Coach Rich Gor- gone. “The fans were great, the weather was good, the two teams played great. It was a great effort by everyone. “Sure, we would have liked to win but a tie is better than a loss. We have a good bunch of kids coming back next year. We plan to be in the race again. The Knights ended the season with a 4-1-1 record in Divi- sion AA standings. PENSIVE MOMENT - A Dallas player considers the next move during Saturday's 40th Old Shoe game.
