DENMON ~ Staff Writer “We re a young team with very little experience, so we are enter- can in order to gain experience,” Coach John Baranowski explained about his boys volleyball team, who had a 3-1 record going into this week. The Knights, who have been practically unbeatable for the past several years, lost allbut one starter through last June's graduation. The lone returning starter is John Baranowski, the coach's son. Two weeks ago the Knights played in the Northeastern York Tournament where they finished third on their court, then moved over to play second place North- eastern York and were defeated. This past week, the Knights went to York to play but did not finish in the top three. “In these tournaments, if you finish below third place you never know what or where you placed,” Baranowski explained. There are 30 boys out for this year's team with only Baranowski a returning starter. Others show- ing good potential are Michael Paraschak, middle; and David Callahan, setter and outside; jun- iors Jason Kirchner, hitter; Mike Taylor, playing for his first year; Rob Miroslaw, Mark Stroud, back row passer and Mike Kukosky, defense. There are also sophomores Ben Haughney, middle; Jason Turner, passer and possible setter; Chris Tawes, who has a nice serve; Mike Doerfler, defense; and Brian Mar- uca, a hard worker, possibly able to play back row, or iront row, middle. “We need sharpening of our skills and more swiftness,” Baranowski . said. The Knights lost three All- Staters in Allen Andes, Alex Freder- ick and Eric Maruca, and Andy Sabalusky and Rocky Lopasky, leaving the team with no experi- ence. Baranowski has a nice group of sophomores and some hard- working freshmen. He has two good assistants in his wife, Jeris, who is a former girls coach, and volunteer assistant Chuck James, former player. The Knights were scheduled to play Tunkhannock, Tuesday, April 11.

DALLAS BOYS PRACTICE-Dallas Senior High boys volleyball practice their skills to prepare for their game with Coughlin last night and for Pittston Area set for Thursday. (C.M. Denmon Photo) Hurt by graduation, Dallas volleyball team off to slow start By CHARLOT M. DENMON Staff Writer Dallas Volleyball Coach Donna Trebilcox has 19 athletes out for the boys senior high volleyball team this season, but only two are returning starters. “Senior Greg Steuben was a starter on last year’s team and Eric Nardone, a junior, saw some action on last year's varsity,” Tre- bilcox said. “This year's team is a new one and with little experi- ence. Last year our record was 5- 8 and we're hoping to better that, but we got off to a bad start and are currently 0-4.” Two of the games lost by Dallas, to Crestwood and Hanover, were close but the Mountaineers also lost to North Pocono and Lake- Lehman, two of the strongest teams in the league. This year’s squad includes Steuben and Nardone, Dave Zachary, Charles Lamoreaux, Myron Pitcavage and Tom Mertz. Other players are Joe Boyle, sen- jor; Ron Fitch, Matt Campbell, Dave Crake, Dave Shumway, juniors; Mark Lubinski, and David Matthews, seniors; Mark Lam- oreaux, Scott Bearley, Pete McDonald, Ned Palka, Brian Miller and Jeff Polachek, freshmen. Trebilcox explained. “Thisyear’s team is well-balanced. We have no one outstanding player. Myron and Dave are setters but in the 6-2 format we play, we can also use them as hitters. Greg and Eric are power hitters and blockers and Tom and Charlie are good utility players. Bill Boyle is often used to sub in hitting and can play the back line position.” Volleyball is a very difficult game, it is a different type of sport and it takes some of our boys who excel in other sports time to adjust to it.” Mrs. Trebilcox is in her third year of coaching the boys team and is also coaching the College Misericordia women's team. It is - only in recent years that volleyball has become competitive. Trebilcox has attended clinics and semi- nars, watched exceptionally good teams and has read books about the sport. The Mountaineers played Coughlin last night and are sched- uled to play Pittston at home to- morrow (Thursday) at 4:30 p.m. Bowling notes a at PR 3 PNAS, Sy Ene Steve Vigorito hammered the pins for a 725 series, 256-278-191, in the Roth Novelty Classic Men’s Ledgue last week to lead Back Mountain Coffee in taking all from Newell Fuel.
