Mounts top Crestwood 35-12 for 5-0 record By CHARLOT M. DENMON Staff Writer “Jay did a great job for us against the Comets," Dallas Coach Jackson said following his Mountaineers 35-12 win over Crestwood. "We were worried going into the game because Crestwood has two big running backs, but our kids were able to hold them and played well. “Straigis did a great job; he ran the ball, threw it and he rolled out a couple of times. Our offense played a good game and our de- fense played exceptionally well,” Jackson continued. The win moves Dallas to 5-0 overall and 4-0 in Division II of the Conference. The Dallas defense held Crestwood to 20 yards on the ground and intercepted four of the Comets passes as well as recover- ing two of their fumbles. Neither team scored in the first quarter but Dallas scored three times in the second quarter while the Comets went into the end zone once. Mountaineer quarterback Straigis made two of the touch- downs and Barry Miller made the third in that period. In the third period, Straigis hit Sam Jayne with a four yard pass and in the final period Tony Baldo scored from the four yard line. Three of Williams four kicks were good. In the third period the Moun- taineers made it 28-6 when Chris Ruth intercepted a Crestwood pass to put the ball at the Comets 20- yard line. Then Straigis hit Jayne for the touchdown and Williams kick was good to move the Mounts in front 28-6. This week the Mountainers play Pittston at the Dallas field. “They're a good team and a AAAA school. They beat us last year so we have a lot of work to do this week. We just take one week at a time,” said Jackson. Area youth catching ice hockey fever Children from four to 18 are catching ice hockey fever. They have found the best way to treat the fever is to stay on ice, at the Ice- A-Rama in Wilkes-Barre. The fever has traveled south from Canada, north from Philadel- phia, from the midwest and east coast. The bug to skate and play hockey is contagious. “Wilkes- Barre Youth Hockey Association is the only ice hockey club between the New York border and Allen- town,” said Bob Pomento, regis- trar of the Wilkes-Barre Wings. “We have kids traveling from Honesdale, the Poconos, Clarks Summit, Back Mountain, Moun- taintop and surrounding commu- nities in our organization. The kids are eager to play and the parents are enthusiastic.” From the wobbliest youngest to the skilled player, there is a level of play for all, Pomento noted. “The learn to skate and house league are developmental programs for players 4 to approximately 13. These programs are for those who are interested in getting started in hockey,” said Bob Noderer, coordi- nator of the learn to skate and house league programs. “We have equipment to loan the beginning player. The learn to skate class runs for six Saturdays starting in October. Then those who caught hockey fever can move on to the house league and work on basic hockey skills.” pi As strange as it may seem, the Wings Hockey Club has an experi- enced veteran player all of sixyears old. Young Barry Prandy of Pittston has been playing since he was four. He is a member of the Wings Mites traveling team. Eric Noderer an 11 year old from Dallas is on the squirt team. “I've been playing hockey for seven years. When I was little I lived in Minnesota and played there. I was worried there wouldn't be hockey here.” “This will be my third year with the Wings. It's my favorite sport. My dad made an ice rink in the backyard so I can practice with my friends.” The Ice-A-Rama is home ice for the Wilkes-Barre Wings. It is the only olympic size arena between Binghamton, New York and Phila- delphia. “We are fortunate to play in the Ice-A-Rama. It is one of the nicest facilities in the league,” claims Pomento. The aspiring hockey stars spend a lot of time honing their skills at the rink. Traveling teams practice at least one and one-half hours a week and may play three games a weekend. It makes the winter go by faster according to the hockey players. Youth soccer and football pro- grams have age classifications for players. Youth hockey is also struc- tured by age. “Youngsters 9 and under with skating skills can participate on the traveling mite team. Squirts are the 10 and11 year old players. There is no checking or body con- tact at these levels,” explained Pomento. Pee Wees are 12 and 13 year olds; Bantams 14 and 15 and the Midgets are 16 and 17. “There is body contact and checking here. The pace of the game picks up,” said Pomento. ; “Our coaches are experienced and teach proper body positions to give and take checking. This is not NHL style hockey,” according to Pomento. Registration for the 1989-90 season is in progress. The final registration dates are Wednesday, September 27, and Thursday, September 28, from 7 to 8:30 both nights at the Ice-A-Rama. Prospective players and parents are invited to come to registration, see the facility, talk to the coaches and catch hockey fever!

Karen Wisnieski and Renee Strauser guaranteed the win for Dallas in the first half when they each scored to give the Mountain- eers a 2-0 lead. Wisnieski scored unassisted and Strauser earned hers on a penalty stroke. DALLAS SOCCER WINS The Dallas boys soccer team did their share on Monday by shutting out Wyoming Seminary 7-0 to remain undefeated in the South- ern Division. The Mountaineers moved in front 3-0 in the first half on two goals by Jeff Tinner and one by Eric Ursiak. Tinner scored his first unassisted but Ken Klimovitz aided in the other two first half scores by Tinner and Ursiak with his assists. In the second half Klimovitz scored three of the Dallas goals and Ursiak scored one to give the Mountaineers their 7-0 score. DALLAS CROSS COUNTRY LOSES Steve Oliver took first in the tri- meet with Bishop O'Reilly and Berwick at Berwick but it was six seconds off the course record and his win wasn't enough to stop the Berwick runners from taking wins from Dallas and Bishop O'Reilly. The Mountaineers managed one win aided by Oliver, Matt Samuels and Brian Smith, and Clothier. In the girls run with the same teams, Gretchen Schuler came in first to lead Dallas to a win over Bishop O'Reilly but Berwick swept the Mountaineers and the Queen- swomen. Balus aided Schuler in the win for the Lady Mountain- eers. 3 Months - 6 Months - 1 Year 3 Years !
