It was the mini-football super- bowl played Sunday, November 10 as Dallas and Plymouth battled into overtime before Plymouth walked away with the victory. Dallas entered the game with a record of 10-1. The team was fresh off a semi-final victory over West’ Pittston. Quarterback Randy Slaff scored three times in that 28-6 win. Plymouth’s win over Wyoming - in the semi-finals kept the team’s record perfect at 10-0. At the outset of the champion- ship game, Plymouth came out ve series the team's powerful ffense drove down the field for a touchdown. ee and during the first offen- Athletes - (continued from page 14) up his football coaching job when he was appointed basketball coach and this season expects the team will play a different type of game than in the past. He has been playing basketball since he was in sixth grade. : Ray has been playing baseball since he was about eight years of age and plays shortstop on the high school varsity team. He has three brothers who like sports as spectators but not as participants. Ray has a 3.3 average and plans to attend college. “I also like to play golf but I play terrible game,” said Ray. “My ® is one day to defeat my friend Eric Paczewski.” OLIVER'S SEASON WAS RECORD-BREAKING Senior Steve Oliver puts forth great team effort when running the two-mile relay but in other events and in cross country he has learned he is on hisown. He learned four years ago that he gets out of running what he puts into it. The son of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Oliver of Midway Manor, Steve took the gold medal this fall in the PIAA State Cross Country competition. He also won the gold medal three hedal in the Conrad Weiser Run, eading, and again at State Col- lege Invitational. ag Steve placed second at the Spike Shoe Run losing first by under one second. November 15, he left with six vother top state finalists for Ohio to run in an All-State meet where runners from eight to 10 states will take part. For the past two years Steve took first place in the league meets breaking the record on the Mountaineers’ home course and the record on four other schools courses. He also broke the Divi- sion AA and AAA in the districts. “I have been running for four years when I started running to get in shape for basketball. Now don't play basketball but run instead,” said Steve. “When I return from Ohio I will start to get in shape for winter inside track and then in the spring outdoor track,” Steve said. He plans to run the mile, two mile and two mile relay and he .. of four years in districts, a gold essful. “I am an endurance runner but not a speed runner unless it is in distance running,” Steve explained. Academically, Steve is 27th in his class with a 3.55 average. He plans to attend college but he has not yet decided on which one. The above are only five of the athletes who performed in such a dedicated manner during the sea- son that they played key roles in helping their teams win. They are excellent representatives of the high caliber athletes and students now attending Dallas Senior High School. They and other members of their teams are to be com- mended. on he can continue to be suc- CONVINCING SALESMAN. We can talk until we're blue in the face.

KUNKLE MOTORS R.R #1, Dallas « Kunkle (Just off Route 309, a few miles north of Dallas) 675-1546 Dallas, on the other hand, struggled offensively. The power- ful running game that helped the team to the superbowl was stopped by the Plymouth defense. As the first quarter continued on, Dallas made the adjustments needed to stop Plymouth’s offense. At the same time the mini-mounts offense came up with some big plays on way to a touchdown. During that drive, Slaff hit re- ceiver Tim Puz three times, on passes of 40 yards, 10 yards and on the touchdown pass. : Both teams finished out the first half with strong defensive stands as momentum shifted back and forth between the two teams. Hard hitting discipline football was shown by both teams on both sides of the ball. The second half started as the first half did. Plymouth’s offense took the ball and put together a long scoring drive. After the touch- down, Plymouth was also able to capitalize on the two-point conver- sion. : The mini-mounts didn't quit, however and the offense put to- gether a strong passing attack that put the ball in the end zone when Slaff hit Puz for a 25-yard scoring strike. To tie the game, the mini-mounts needed to make the two-point conversion. Again Dallas went to the pass but when Slaff dropped back Plymouth’s defense mounted a strong rush and chased the quarterback out of the pocket. Slaff continued to scramble all the way back to his 17-yard line before finding a receiver in the end zone to tie the game, 14-14. Plymouth’s offense tried to mount a drive but was stopped by the mini-mounts. Dallas got the ball back late in the game but could not put the ball in the end zone before time ran out. The overtime rules for the cham- pionship game were explained to the teams. The ball was placed at the 10-yard line and each team would have four plays to score. Plymouths offense was able to push the ball across the goal line. Dallas’ effort fell a bit short and Plymouth was declared champi- ons. Despite, the loss, Dallas coaches and fans praised the hard work of the team’s effort not only during the championship game but throughout the year. hard on developing their skills for the season.
