Soccer preview Veteran Mounts going for the top By CHRISTINA CONRAD Sports Correspondent Dallas’ girls soccer coach Ron Moran is counting on his six senior captains this year to provide the leadership needed for another vic- torious season in the Wyoming Valley Conference. According to Moran, “Everyone on the team plays a role and there is not just one player who wins.” Dallas does want to win though, as a team and improve on last year's record of 16-1-1. To do that the Lady Mounts will follow their team goal as stated by coach Moran, “We have to take it one game at a time and try to maintain our intensity.” Moran has fixed his eyes upon trying to win the Wyoming Valley Championship. To do this he will rely heavily on his returning start- ers. They are Sue Richardson, Patrice Shovlin, Amy Shelley, Carrie Miller, Jen Rosental, Megan Moran, Alisson Labatty, Jessica Wallack, Nina Mathers, Amy Smith and Eve Figueroa. And the Mountaineers have proved they can compete with a major victory over Lake-Lehman already this season and also by posting an impressive early sea- son four and zero record in the Wyoming Valley Conference. The Mountaineers will continue their winning ways if they stay healthy and can maintain their intensity. They have proven before that they can compete with the best teams in and out of the Back Mountain area. This season should be evidence of that fact, once again. | Also, look forward to seeing Dallas and Lehman play once ina | possible playoff match-up. They | both should qualify for one of the seven playoff spots available as the season draws to a close. Lady Knights plan to be in playoffs By CHRISTINA CONRAD Sports Correspondent The Lady Black Knights hope to improve on lastyear’s record of 12- 4-1 on the soccer field. “Our goal is to score more goals, improve on last year’s record and to make the playoffs,” coach Charlie Hampel declared. To make the playoffs the Knights will depend upon the following returning letter winners this sea- son; Sue Niezgoda, Heather Picci, Gretchen Dershimer, Jill Smigle- ski, Lynn Turner and Heidi Wen- rich. Although the Knights have many returning, they also are impressed with the play of underclassmen Carrie Llewellyn and Nikki Senate. And the freshman class is held in high regard for they are quite tal- ented. Neverthless, the Knights already have had to deal with a loss to Dallas. Although they lost Coach Hampel felt, “It was a great game. They all played well. Dallas has a lot of talent, but we proved we can play with any team in this league.” The team's philosophy does seem to follow that, “I have no predictions. We are going to just My Dallas baseball seniors take it one game at a time because I really do believe that one team canbeatanotherteamon anygiven | day. We are going to scramble for one of the seven playoff spots”, stated Coach Hampel. 3 Furthermore, the girls also felt the Dallas game was a plus al- though it was a loss in the stand- ings. Sophomore Gretchen Der- shimer said, “Both teams played really well. ChristinaJones showed a lot of courage to keep playing the way she did. Lynnie Turner played a good game. It is unfortunate that she got hurt, though. And Sue Niezgoda, our goalie played really well, also.” According to senior goalie Niezgoda, “We did really well. Dal- las only had two shots on goal until the fourth quarter. That is ve good.” Finally, Dyan Dymond seemed to point out the Knights future key to success, “I think it was a good game even though we lost. All the players played well and if we don’t let down in the fourth quarter we should win.” 4] If the Knights can keep up their intensity they should grab one of the seven playoff spots they are looking for. Seniors on the Dallas High School baseball team include, front row, from left; Pete Kerdesky, John Romano and Brian Miller. Back row; assistant coach Jim McGovern and head coach Jack Wolensky.
