DENMON Staff Writer The Lake-Lehman defense came up with three big turnovers that led to two scores late in the game Friday as the Black Knights came up with al2-7 win over Nanticoke. Nanticoke scored in the second quarter to give them a 7-0 lead but the Black Knights didn’t give up and with less than 10 minutes remaining in the game they took advantage of two Trojan turnovers and turned them into scores to win the game 12-7. “Nanticoke is a much improved team since the beginning of the season,” said Coach Rich Gor- gone. They were jumping our re- ceivers and stopping our run dur- ing the first half, so we made some adjustments in the second half which gave us the opportunity to pass. “We had two games before we dropped behind and were unable to make the big plays. Against the Trojans our kids didn’t give up and we scored twice in the fourth pe- riod to win the game. Terry Martin had the big interception and Sammy made some good passes to make the scores possible,” Gor- gone said. The Knights scored on the first of two turnovers by the Trojans. Quarterback Sam Gorgone hit Troy Strauser who scored the touch- down for six points. Gorgone's try for two points failed and the Knights were still short of the Trojans 7-6. The Trojans then fumbled the ball on their own 18 and Nick Kukosky recovered the fumble for ‘the Knights. Martin scored four plays later to give the Knights a 12- 7 lead. Gorgone's pass for two points failed for the second time. With less than two minutes remaining in the game, the Tro- jans had one last chance as the offense traveled to the Knights 13- yard line. The Knights defense buckled down and caused another turnover as Martin intercepted a Trojan fourth down to give the - Knights the ball and the win. The Knights host Crestwood this Saturday at the Edwards Stadium. “We have our work cut out for us,” said Gorgone. “They're a big team and they have two great play- ers in Dennis and their quarter- back.

Oliver also tied the overall course record which was set 10 years ago. “I didn't expect to break the record,” Oliver said, “But I heard someone yelling that I could so that kept me going. My main goal was to lead our team to the district title.” Oliver was disappointed when he heard that Scranton Prep edged out the Dallas team 49-53, but the team will have an another oppor- tunity when it goes to states this weekend.
