Dallas plays tough early, but drops two games in the end BY CHARLOT M. DENMON Staff Writer Coach Clarence Ozgo knew at the beginning of the season it would take patience, and a lot of work to get his young Dallas Mountaineers to the point where they could play even with their opponents, and he is using both as he and his assistants develop the athletes with each game. Randy Coolbaugh is his only re- turning starter from last season, but with him and transferee Matt McQuide, Ray Russin and Jim Lis- ~ ter, Ozgo is bringing the team to- gether through their first four losses. Ozgo said Brett Gauntlett is be- ginning to show marked improve- ment and despite their recent losses to Nanticoke and Wyoming Area, his boys are working hard and are de- termined to surprise some teams by the second half. The Nanticoke game was running close until the fourth period when the Trojans Mike Zubritski and Mike Santuck came on strong to lead the team in outscoring Dallas 25-17 to come out on top 57-44. Coolbaugh led the Mountaineers with 12 points and Gauntlett tossed in 10 points. The Mountaineers hosted Wyo- ming Area Friday night and played the Warriors even the first half with the score tied 32-32 at halftime. The Warriors pulled away in the second half for a 68-57 victory. The Warriors 67" Chris Wickizer was plagued with fouls during the first half and after picking up a fourth foul in the third quarter Cougars take 3rd in tourney Dr. Bruce Wilson, acting president of College Misericordia, recently congratulated the men’s basketball team for winning third-place in the Shenandoah Apple Tournament.

The Warriors outscored the Mountaineers 22-10 in the third period and held the scoring to 15 points each team in the fourth,not giving the Mountaineers much opportunity. Jim Lister led Dallas with 18 points, including two three-point goals. Brett Gauntlett put in 12 points for the Mountaineers. Russin and McQuide also had a three- pointer for the Mountaineers.

DENMON Staff Writer Lake-Lehman Coach Rodger Bearde's Black Knights ran their record to 2-2 last week by defeating Seton Catholic 62-54 and Hanover 76-43 in the Wyoming Valley Con- ference basketball competition. The Knights rebounded from a deficit at halftime to outscore Seton Catholic 23-9 in the third period then make it 16-11 in the final pe- riod to win 62-54 going away. Len Annetta’s shooting led the Knights on offense with help from Mike Strutko and Frank Coslett. Coach Bearde said the boys scor- ing was, improving but he still gave credit for th victories to his team’s defense. The Knights stayed cool and held Seton to low scoring in the second half. In Friday night's game at Ha- nover, the Knights had little trouble in taking a 76-43 win from the young Hawks. : Annetta started off the Knights in the opening minutes of the game with a three pointer but Hanover came back strong to collect six points to take a three point lead. Strutko and Coslett combined with Annetta to lead a scoring at- tack with Strutko with Strutko putting in seven points to give the Knights a 12-10 lead at the end of the first quarter. Coslett added 10 points ‘in the first half and Strutko got inside for several layups to give his team a 33-21 half time lead. In the second half the Knights improved their running game and moved the ball more. They passed the ball well and Coslett, Strutko and Annetta combined for 53 points in the game. The Knights scored 43 points in the second half. i Bearde said his young players are improving with each game and as they get better on rebounding and defense, they will be able to stay in any game. With league play resuming Janu- ary 3, the Knights are scheduled to play Wyoming Seminary at home that night.
