The Dallas Post SPORTS Dallas, PA Wednesday, September 12, 1990 17 : Dallas sports roundup By CHARLOT M. DENMON Staff Writer Dallas powers past Bangor 28-14 A strong offensive effort carried Dallas to a 28-14 win over unheralded Bangor last week, but defensive lapses caused some concern in the coaching staff. “Our offense played well and our defense did at times but the defense wasn't consistent. We weren't happy about that. They did a good job at times but they have to work on being consistent,” said Dallas Coach Ted Jackson following his Mountaineers 28-14 win over Bangor last Friday | night. | od is a good team. They are big and strong and have two good quarterbacks and two excellent running backs. Our offense moved the | | ball well against them. John Morris had a good game passing for 107 yards and hitting 12 of 18. Brian Burd rushed for 107 of our 182 yards on the ground. He did a good job for us,” Jackson said. The Mountaineers will be idle this weekend and the coaches will use much of that time tightening up the defense to get ready for Meyers, 4 Sept. 21, away. Golfers drop t to 3-2 Dallas golfers fell to 3-2 Monday when they lost to Hazleton 167-171 at Edgewood in the Pines. Mark Mardyniak and Rocco were medalists with each shooting 39's, three over par.

DENMON = Staff Writer Football bombs Northwest 44-7 x ' Black Knights Coach Rich Gorgone said he had a lot of skilled people | this season and his athletes proved it Saturday against Northwest. i | The Knights played with a lot of intensity and they played hard on i their way to crushing the Rangers 44-7. “The kids played well,” Gorgone said after the game. “Our line did a nice job of blocking. Our center Mike Sholtis, Rich Thomas, John Lucas, John Thomas, Tim Krochta, and our tight end Chuck Finn, all did a great job blocking. “The kids didn't play below their level, they played competitively,” Gorgone said. “Sam Gorgone had an excellent day at quarterback. He threw two touchdown passes and he also kicked a 27-yard field goal. He also did some great kicking, making four out of five attempts for the extra point.” The Knight reserves came in during the second half and running back Rob Spencer scored their final touchdown to give Lake- Lehman their win over the Rangers. This Saturday the Knights play Bishop Hafey away. “It’s our first time to play Hafey and we don’t know much about them,” said Gorgone. “We're playing with six kids out with injuries. We've got to get them healthy and back in the game before we meet the tough part of our schedule. Most of these kids were injured before the season Qstarted so we've been playing with some of our back-ups, who have been = doing a good job for us.” Knights shut out Coughlin 3-0 Lake-Lehman Knights shut out Coughlin 3-0 Monday to hand the Crusaders their first loss in soccer. The Knights scored their three goals in the first half of the game and played a strong defense to hold back the Crusaders throughout the game. The Knights credited their win to changing their offerise to 4-4-3 since they have been playing without All-State Brian Kelly, who has been playing with the All-Select state team in Poland. The Knights expect Kelly to be in the lineup for the Dallas game which is Wednesday. Volleyball game rescheduled The Lady Knights volleyball team will host Tunkhannock Thursday : night at Lake-Lehman Junior High gym. | The Jayvee game will begin at 6:30 p.m. followed by the varsity game at 7:30 p.m. The Tunkhannock Tigers are 1-0 and the Knights were 1-0 going against Abington Heights yesterday. - Knight runners win close meet The Black Knights took three of the first five places to edge out Bishop Hafey 28-29 over the Lehman home course. Charlie Jacoby came in first and Jim Hutchins placed second for the Knights and Chris Campbell finished fourth. Golfers edge out O'Reilly The Black Knights edged out the Queensmen 204-207 Thursday at Irem Temple Country Club despite O'Reilly's Greg Hlavac and Eric Sirlani copping medalists honors with 49's. Rob Terescavage shot 50 for the Knights and Mark Shisson, Jesse Sorber and Ryan Leahy, all fired 51's. Stickers play to scorelss tie with Coughlin The Lady Knights outshot Coughlin 7-3 and outdid them 10-3 on corners but neither team was able to score, playing to a 0-0 tie.

DENMON Staff Writer Dallas High School junior Eric Ursiak had only one thing on his mind when he entered the opening soccer game with Bishop Hoban last week — to do his best to help the team defeat Bishop Hoban. It never entered his mind that he might give the Mountaineers their 1-0 win. Ursiak, who has worked out all summer, handed his team the 1-0 victory when he headed a pass from team member Jeff Dober past Hoban's goal keeper Eric Skvarla, putting the ball into the right corner. “We went into the game know- ing Bishop Hoban would be tough,” said Ursiak. “We con- trolled most of the game but we just couldn't get past their keeper until the last quarter.” Ursiak didn’t let the week go by without helping his team in lenpaupack. He scored four of the Mountaineers goals as they defeated their host team 8-1. “Before the season opened we expected Wallenpaupack to be tough, but when we saw how Coughlin beat them we knew they weren't as tough as Hoban. But anything can happen. Wal- lenpaupack lost a lot of seniors through graduation so they have a young team this season,” Ursiak explained. Ursiak, who plays forward, is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Richard Ursiak of Haddonfield Hills, Dal- las. Soccer is not new to him the past 10 years, starting in the Back Mountain Youth Soc- cer Association. When he was a freshman, he made the high school team playing jayvee and varsity that year. In 10th grade he played varsity as forward. “Youth soccer gave me a good background in the sport,” Ur- siak explained, “But it has taken a lot of practice, working out the next game with Lake Wal- since he has been playing for "Youth soccer gave me a good background in the sport.” and soccer camps to get where | am. My coaches have also helped me a lot. 3 “Playing against the German soccer club this summer taught me a lot. Although we lost I learned a lot from them. This past summer I had a chance to go to Brazil for two weeks and played and trained with club ‘teams for two weeks. This gave me an opportunity to learn be- cause these club members play together for years.” Besides his soccer experience, Ursiak gives his fitness level credit for some of his success. “Working out at One-to-One Fitness the last six months has also helped me a lot. It has in- creased my strength and helped in being faster on my feet.” Ur- siak said. Eric'sdad explained that play- ing with or against club teams is a learning experience for the boys. “The club teams improve the quality of playing because the teams stay together longer,” ex- plained Richard Ursiak. “They are also selective and can pick the best players for their teams. Eric played on a club team this last year in tournaments in New York and Philadelphia. This way a player can be exposed to good teams in other areas and better competition.” “My parents support means a lot,” Eric said. “I'm interested in other sports outside of school, but soccer is the only in-school ~ sport I play.” Eric said he is looking for- ward to this week's play against Abington Heights Monday and Lake-Lehman Wednesday. “Abington always has a good Mounts first in soccer league A Eric Ursiak continued his scoring Monday by kicking in two goals and assisting on another one as the Dal- | las Mountaineers defeated Abington Heights 5-1. The win moved the | Mountaineers in sole possession of Division 1-A as Coughlin bowed to 4 the Lake-Lehman Knights. Oliverleads Mount harriers to big win Mountaineer Steve Oliver led the Dallas runners to a 15-48 win over Hanover Mondaywith a time of 16:46. The Mounts took eight of the first 10 | spots in the run over the Dallas course with Matt Samuel coming in second and Brian Smith taking third.
