DENMON Staff Writer “Our kids played a great game, well enough to win, but it was just not meant to be,” said Coach Ted Jackson after the Dallas-GAR game Saturday. “The teams were fairly evenly matched, but our kids played a terrific game. The score should have ended 19-19. “Barry Miller played an out- standing game. He scored two of our touchdowns and he did a great job on defense. He was responsible for stopping the Grenadiers more times than the fans realize. It was just a mental error at the end. He thought he was doing what he should to bring the ball out to the 20-yard line,” Jackson continued. “Barry's a terrific athlete and he has carried us through a lot of our games. Without his two scores Saturday the score would have been 19-6. He's only a kid. Pros have been known to do worse.” With GAR behind him, Jackson said his boys have their work cut out for them. “Hanover's a good team and we have a tough week in front of us. They have some great athletes in Proctor, Heddings and Malloy.” The fans at Saturday's game got more than their money's worth. It was an afternoon of excellent foot- By CHARLOT M. DENMON Staff Writer The Lake-Lehman gridders host Nanticoke this Saturday and they have their work cut out for them, according to Black Knight Coach Rich Gorgone. “Nanticoke is a better team than their scores have indicated,” Gor- gone said. “They tied Meyers at 6- 6 and Meyers defeated us and they ball played by two well-coached teams. The game score was 19-19 with about 60 seconds remaining in the game. The Grenadiers had just scored the touchdown which tied them with the Mountaineers and after missing the extra point, kicked off to the Mountaineers. The ball went by Miller who went after it and caught it on the five-yard-line, then ran into the Dallas endzone, think- ing that would constitute a touch- back, and bring the ball out to the 20-yard-line. But the play resulted in a safety and two points for GAR. ; GAR's coach said after the game he was sorry his team had to win that way but they would take it. The victory gives them a 6-0 record in their division while the loss puts Dallas at 4-1 just behind GAR. The win may also have decided the Division 11 championship, since both teams are expected to win their remaining games in their division. If either team should lose in the weeks ahead it will be con- sidered a big upset. The Grenadiers scored first in the game when Mowie Harris pulled in a 38-yard pass from Santana John. The pass for two failed and the score was on the board 6-0 for GAR. : beat Crestwood. They can’t be under-estimated. They were a Division AAA team until this sea- son when they dropped to Division AA. “The week off we was good for us. We had our traditional black and gold game which gave the kids some extra practice. It also gave some of our kids a chance to heal some minor injuries.” Lake-Lehman also has home- coming this weekend, so it will be Mounts lose hard-fought game With only three minutes left in the half, the Mountaineers tied the score at 6-6 when Jay Straigis hit Wayde Post with a five yard pass for a touchdown to end a 52-yard drive in which Barry Miller ran for three of Dallas’ four first downs. With less than minute remaining in the second quarter, Maurice Dotson intercepted a pass Straigis meant for Miller and ran it in for a touchdown to give GARa 13-6lead at halftime. The Mou taineers scored twice in the seco. half, both scot: by Miller, to give Dallas a 19-13 l=ad with less than six minutes left to play. Miller scored one « 1 a fiveyard pass from Straigis anu _hris Wil- liams kick was good to tie the score. Miller scored the second touchdown on a 32-yard run, side- stepping the Grenadier defense while running down the field. The try for the extra point failed and Dallas took a 19-13 lead. | In the closing minutes of the game, the Grenadiers took the ball down field and on a fourth and goal on the Dallas one-yard line, San- tana John tried to take the ball across on a keeper but fumbled the ball into the end zone where his team mate Tyrone King picked it up for the score that tied the game. The Grenadiers try for the extra point failed. Knights to face underrated Nanticoke a big week. “If our kids play like they did against Tunkhannock and Ha- nover, they'll be alright. Nanticoke is unpredictable, sometimes their games are good and sometimes they're not. They have some good receivers and a good quarterback. Our kids have to work hard this week,” Gorgone concluded. The Knights host Nanticoke Saturday, 1 p.m., at the Edwards Stadium. Ti SDALLASCR0ST - HELP WANTED _ HELP WANTED _ GARAGE SALE GARAGE SALE HOUSEKEEPER - occa- sional babysitter needed 1 day per week.
