Strikes 'n' spares By CHARLOT M. DENMON Staff Writer The Lake-Lehman High School wrestling team has ex- perimented with a unique coach- ing structure this season, and it certainly seems to be a success. The squad's two coaches are equals; neither is head coach, neither is assistant, and both work with team members equally. The arrangement is new to the high school, but not to the coaches. Phil Lipski and Tom Williams had been co-coaches more than five years ago at Lake- Lehman Junior High. Williams had been head coach at Dallas Junior High School and Lipski had been head coach at Lake-Lehman Junior High. Rather than ask either coach to step down to assistant coach, the decision came from the top to appoint them as co-coaches. Williams and Lipski knew each other through coaching previ- ously and Phil was at Lake- Lehman when Tom graduated. Tom Williams graduated from Bloomsburg with a degree in elementary and secondary so- cial studies while Phil Lipski graduated from King's College with a degree in special educa- tion. Williams wrestled in high school and while - at Bloomsburg,while Lipski wrestled at West Side Catholic (Bishop O'Reilly) but not at all in college. During the five years the two men worked together as co- coaches at the junior high, their streak and took two PIAA Dis- trict 2 junior high titles. Their teams also won the Western Division of the Wyoming Valley Conference four times. Williams taught in Lehman- Jackson Elementary School for five years but now teaches social studies in seventh and eighth grades at the junior high. Lipski teaches the educable mentally retarded students at the senior high school. Towhatdo they attribute their success? “We know each other well and we're friends,” said Williams. “We communicate well teams had a 54-meet undefeated 'Co-coaches' Lipski and Williams lead Lake-Lehman wrestling team CO-COACHES - Lake-Lehman Co-coaches Tom Williams and Phil Lipski prepared to give last minute instructions to their Knight wrestlers prior to their meet with Pittston Area last Saturday. (Photo by C.M. Denmon) with one another and we have a good group of kids to work with. We had all of them in junior high at some point and had some of them for four years,” Lipski said. Lake-Lehman has a strong tradition of good wrestling dat- ing back many years. “Our kids are willing to work,” Lipski said. “We have only six seniors out for the team; Hwt. J.J. Konigus, 171-lb. P.J. Good- win, 119-lb. Chris Smith and 103-lb. Mark Longmore, start- ing and Ed Higgins and Matt West.” The Knights’ squad includes nine juniors; Rich Peiffer, Der- rick Bologna, Jason Clancy, Dave Konopke, Terry Martin, Tony Ramagli, Ray Rosencrans, Mike Tereska and Steve Burke. Sophomores are Jesse Cope, Mike Guerin, Justin Goodwin, George Kocher, Gary Masters, Jason Naugle, Charlie Roperand Jesse Sorber. Freshmen Charlie Jacoby and Brian Straitt round out the team. “We have great cooperation from our jayvee kids,” Williams said last week. “They weigh in at NN Phil Lipski and Tom Williams coached together at the Junior High for five years every meet and give our team the flexibility it needs and have helped on many occasions. Behind every successful varsity team there needs to be a good jayvee team pushing them every night in practice.” The junior high program is also in good hands this season. Under the leadership of Paul and Matt Reinert they have an 11-3 record with more than 30 students on the team. With a perfect record so far this season, co-coaches Williams and Lipski and their team have two meets left between them and a spotless record - Crestwood away Wednesday, and Tunkhannock away Satur- day night.
