DENMON Staff Writer It took the Dallas Mountain- eers seven years to win the annual UNICO Holiday Basket- ball Tournament title but they did it this year by soundly de- feating their opponents in the games played at Dallas Senior High School last week. The Mountaineers won the opening round Wednesday night by defeating Wyoming Seminary 77-31 with four of their players hitting double figures. This year’s tournament was named the Unico Al Pisaneschi Memorial Tournament in trib- ute to the man, ‘Big Red,” who did so much for the young high school athletes at Dallas each year. Mounts impress in winning Unico tournament Eric Nardone sets the scoring pace In the game with Seminary the Mountaineers shot well and played great defense which ap- pears to be improving with each game they play. In the opening period Eric Nar- done ran off eight points and junior Ray Russin canned 10 to lead the Mountaineers to an 18- 10 score in the first quarter. At the end of the half Dallas led the Blue Knights 41-10 as they outscored them 23-4 in the sec- ond quarter. The Mountaineers dominated Seminary through- out the game. Nardone set the pace for Dal- las with 18 points followed by Damon Lisnow with 15 and Russin and Mike Farris with 11 points each. “Coming into this year's sea- son we thought our kids were capable of scoring points but we were concerned about the de- fense,” Coach Clarence Ozgo said. “Our defense has been playing better every game which is what we need.” The win over Seminary ad- vanced Dallas to Friday's game with Meyers whom they defeated 55-35 paced again by Eric Nar- done. Nardone scored 15 points to lead the Mountaineers and won the Most Valuable Player trophy of the tournament. Nar- done only began playing basket- ball when he came out for the team two years ago and since then has improved to play both ends of the court well. ia. The Dallas defense held Mey- ers to only 11 field goals in the game. “Our defense played an out- standing game,” Ozgo said. “If they continue when the season begins this week we will sur- prise some of our opponents.” Lisnow and Farris each copped 11 points for the Moun- taineers who held a 25-13 lead at halftime. The Mohawks were plagued by poor shooting with freshman Marcus Hughes the lone double figures shooter for them in the game. ol The Mountaineers won their first championship since they began hosting the tournament in 1983.
