Both Dallas and Lake-Lehman
School Districts have a wide vari-
ety of athletic and sports programs
for the high school students, and
coaches of both schools are look-
ing forward to working with some
outstanding male and female ath-
letes from last school year as well
‘as some new ones moving up into
‘high school.
‘The fall sports programs are the
same in both districts, although
‘the number of students sometimes
places one sport or another in dif-
ferent divisions within the Wyo-
ming Valley High School Confer-
Lake-Lehman Coach Rich Gor-
gone again this season hopes to
“have a strong football program
despite losing some outstanding
athletes through graduation.
Girls field hockey coach Jean
Lipski always fields a strong team
and has a fine group of young
i athletes returning this season. One
“Trudy Wandel was holding first
place going into the eliminations
in sophomore ladies figures and
tied for third in the finals. The
judges broke the tie by checking
individual scoring and, as a result,
Trudi finished fourth. I was pleased,
however, since fourth in the coun-
try from among hundreds ofskaters
is excellent,” Berger said.
of the newest and rapidly develop-
ing into one of the most popular
sport is soccer and Ray Dennis is
planning to keep his team in strong
contention in the league again as
they were last season.
Bob Rogers who coaches the
girls volleyball team, comes
through with a competitive team
every year and hopes to do the
same this year and golf coach Mike
Sharok has a dedicated group of
golfers returning this season.
At Dallas, football coach Ted
Jackson has had a championship
team for the past two seasons and
despite losing 18 starters through
graduation has replaced them with
younger players and is working
hard at putting another competi-
tive team on the field against the
school’s competition.
Soccer Coach John McCafferty
and his assistant is hoping to re-
cruit new players this season to
replace those seniors he lost by
graduation .McCafferty has arepu-
tation for fielding a highly com-
petitive group of athletes.
He also said that Lisa finished
eighth after the eliminations in
figures and Manzoni, who entered
the national competition for the
first time, finished 15th in the
sophomore men’s figures.
Wandel finished 12th in free
style skating despite having in-
jured her back the week prior to
leaving for the competition.
- High schools provide plenty of sports opportunities
Girls field hockey coach Robyn
Jones has completed her Master's
program and will be back to coach
the girls toa winning season. Coach
Sara Jane Griffen will be back to
coach the girls interested in volley-
ball.
Golf Coach Tom Kilduff will
continue to develop the Dallas golf
team which has always been a
strong sport at Dallas and head
Coach William Kvashay hopes to
have some strong runners come
out for cross country to try to
match last year's team which took
the district championship and
placed second in state competi-
tion. He is also hoping for greater
numbers of athletes to come out
for the girls cross country team.
Whether the two teams stand-
ings count in the league standings
when they compete against one
another, it proves to be an exciting
performance for the fans since on
the athletic field the students are
keen rivals despite being friends
the rest of the time.
