Dallas track teams plan
for successful campaigns
By CHARLOT M. DENMON
Staff Writer
Dallas High has 40 boys and
30 girls out for this year’s track
teams, and head coach Bill Strait-
iffis looking for another good year.
“Last year the boys were 14-1
and we won the districts, I'm
hoping we do as well or better this
year,” Straitiff said. “Weather will
be our biggest challenge.”
Straitiff explained that the
Dallas girls are young, with alot of
sophomores, but also said that
they have some returning letter-
men who will form a good nucleus
for the team.
On the boys' team, Straitiff and
his assistants William Kvashay
and Steve Kaschenbach are ex-
pecting a good nucleus of seniors
returning from last year includ-
ing, Hugh Mundy; Walter Fader,
Jared Samuels, Jim Evans, dis-
tance runners; Chris Lesjak, Ron
Post, Jerry Ogurkis, Shawn Ruth,
John Aston, Jim Farrell, John
Green, Jim Newell, Jamie Strange,
Kurt Lapinski and Jim O'Donnell.
Juniors on the roster include
Mark Chappel, Loren Dymond,
Mike Harris, Sam Jayne, Barry
Miller and Wade Post.
The remaining athletes are
sophomores and are pushing the
upper classmen for positions on
the team.
“We are pleased with the work
we are getting from the boys and if
they keep it up, we should be in
good shape,” Straitiff said. “The
girls are also showing some good
potential and we are looking to-
ward a better year this season.
“Returning are Ann Balonis,
Courtney Butler, Lori Cave, Lisa
Hite, Amy Rosentel, Lori and
Andrea Ankenbrand, and Shelly
Terscavage, seniors; Jennifer
Besecker, Jean Novitsky, Sherry
Terescavage, juniors; -and
Gretchen Schuler, who ran as a
freshman is returning. These girls
have had experience. Then we have
a lot of good sophomores who are
showing potential.”
The Mountaineers drop to Divi-
sion AA this season but Straitiff
does not see this making a big
difference, since four of seven of
their opponents were near the top
last season and some have dropped
down the same as the Mountain-
eers did.
Lake-Lehman, Meyers, G.A.R.,
Hanover, Bishop Hoban and
Crestwood are in Division AA and
Coach Straitiffexpected their teams
to be tough.
“Itshould be an interesting year,”
Straitiff said. “My coaching staff
has been working hard with the
kids and they say the kids are
doing a good job. They are a young,
dedicated group and they have been
doing some hard work for us."
Coach Steve Kaschenbach
works with the jumpers, Coach
William Kvashay works with the
distnce runners, Coach Mary Ann
Walsh works with the throwers
and Coach Straitiff fills in wher-
ever needed as well as supervising
the entire team.

The Dallas Mountaineers base-
ball team of last season, whose
record was 5-10, was a relatively
young team and this year, with
added experience, their goal is to
finish above .500. Anything better
than that will be icing on the cake,
according to the Mounts Coach
Jack Wolensky.
“We have 25 candidates out for
the team this year,” Wolensky said.
“We lost some good starters from
last season, but we have intense
competition among the boys this
season. We have some good ath-
letes, but we are the smallest AAA
school in the division. This will be
our last year in AAA, next year we
drop down to AA,” Wolensky ex-
plained.
Returning from last year are
seniors Randy Coolbaugh, pitcher
and first baseman; Brett Weyman,
first and outfield; Harry Schwep-
penheiser, outfielder; Tony Suggs,
second; Andy Prebola, pitcher.
Also returning are juniors Bob
Ashworth, first; John Masley,
outfield; Jeff Tinner, third base or
shortstop; Brett Gauntlett, pitcher;
Mike Williams, outfielder; Dave
Grundowski, catcher; Alex Case,
first base; and Mark Paczewski,
outfielder.
The Mountaineers have depth
although many of their players are
young. In addition to those above
there are Paul Bednar, outfielder;
Sean Hoyt, outfield; Barry Brutko,
outfielder; Neil Kaiser, catcher;
Matt Butler, outfield; Eric
Paczewski, third; Ray Russin,
shortstop; Sean Shovlin, second;
Mike Prokopchak, John Mekeever,
outfielders; Emery Yurko, third and
Mike Mikula, pitcher.
Dallas is in the West Division of
AAA and will play Valley West,
Tunkhannock, Wyoming Area and
Pittston twice each during the
season. They will also play Ber-
wick, Nanticoke, Hazleton,
Crestwood and Coughlin once.
“Valley West and Tunkhannock
are always tough and Wyoming
Area has a lot of their kids back.
Coughlin is another team that is
