Tie SDALLASCP0ST Vol. 103 No. 41 Wednesday, October 7, 1992 SportsWeek Lehman stickers come up short against Crestwood By CHRISTINA CONRAD Sports Correspondent - The Lake-Lehman Lady Knights field hockey team was in for a great battle against the host Crestwood Comets on Friday, Oct. 2. The undefeated Knights played the 8-1 Comets. The Comets won by the score of 3-2, in a Wyoming Valley Cozgference game that went down tol ®e last few minutes. ~The Knights were up against a great deal of tradition as well as a good Crestwood team. The Crestwood Comets have won many league championships and have earned their name of “the Big Red Machine” for producing a well skilled and contending hockey team almost every year. The Knights are very similar but they have never beaten Crestwood in a big game. Crestwood started the scoring with two goals by standout Jess ‘Sinco. Another goal was added at 12:35 of the second half to give 5 gwood a 3-0 lead. However, nights at that point started to iy the momentum around, but Crestwood was able to hang on to their lead. The first Lehman goal came from junior Ann Barber at 15:29 in the second half. Barber scored on a breakaway and put her shot past the Crestwood goalie. The second Lehman score came on a penalty corner. Senior Heather Isaac hit the ball to the top of the circle where it was stopped by Heather Gray for teammate Cherub Hon- eywell. Honeywell shot on goal but i ps deflected. Honeywell shot again and this time the ball was redirected by junior Cristy Sha- mus to score the second and last goal for Lehman. From then on the Knights, headed a mad dash to try to tie the score, but the Crestwood defense was able to hold them off. “Crestwood was a really good team,” said Lehman senior stand- out Dyan Dymond, “We came to- gether too late and we should have used more shot passes instead of using the long ball.” The Knights experienced their first loss which for some teams could be devastating, but accord- ing to Dymond she feels differ- ently. “This loss may help us to get it out ofthe way. It was upsetting but we were coming back and we made the score 3-2. To lose 4-0 would have been a great deal worse,” Dymond said. Now, the Knights will be re- grouping and preparing for the rest of the season. “We should beat the rest of the teams we play. All of our hard games seemed to come at once. We will work on everything basic and probably a lot of conditioning be- cause we only have one game this week.” The Knights seem to be taking this loss in stride and are trying to put it behind them to get on with the rest of the season. The team showed a great amount of charac- ter against Crestwood and will most likely be getting their morale up for post season play if they can re- group and as Dyan said, “work on everything basic.” registrations will be taken. number of registrations. 1902. #outh basketball final registration Oct. 10 Wosine Youth Basketball will hold final registration for the 1992- 93 season on Saturday, Oct. 10, from 9-11 a.m. at the Dallas American Legion, across from Pickett's Charge.

Dallas 'must win' at Meyers By DAVE KONOPKI Sports Correspondent Two very important football games will be played in Pennsylva- »Riathis weekend. Both have local interest andiboth gamesiwill go a long way in determining possible championships for the teams in- volved. One will take place on Saturday afternoon in State College when Penn State plays host to the Miami Hurricanes at Beaver Stadium. The other contest will begin less than 17 hours earlier at Wilkes- Barre Memorial Stadium when Meyers hosts the Dallas Moun- tainners. Dallas will enter the game with a 4-1 record, having suffered their first loss of the season last Satur- day, a 28-21 setback at the hands of Nanticoke. Meyers dropped to 3- 2 with their 21-6 loss to Hanover Area last Saturday. Despite this being only the sixth game of the season and just their third conference game, Dallas head coach Ted Jackson says it's an important game for the Mountain- ers. “I feel that we're in a must-win situation,” said Jackson, whose Mountaineers reeled off four straight road wins before losing their home opener. “The big ques- tion mark is how the kids are going to respond. We hope that they respond well. We've been telling them how important this game is going to be. “It's going to be a very tough game,” added Jackson. “Meyers is one of the biggest teams in the league. They have some great play- ers, including two very good run- ning backs and a Division I college prospect in Ron Ostrowski. We're really going to have to play well to win.” Although Jackson will not make excuses for his team’s loss to the Trojans, "it must be pointed out that the Mountaineers are far from healthy. Sophomore linebacker Rich Butcofski, who set the all-time single-season record for tackles at Dallas last season, has been out for two weeks with a sprained knee. When he will return to the Moun- tainers is unknown, but the 6-1, 205-pounder is set for re-evalu- ation this week. Brian Burd, one of the league's premiere running backs and de- fensive players, is not at 100 per- cent. That was evidenced on Sat- urday when Burd, who drew four- man coverage, carried the ball just 14 times for 35 yards. Burd aver- aged nearly 26 carries per game in each of the first four Dallas games and had rushed for over 650 yards. But Burd suffered bruised ribs and a severe back bruise in the Mounts’ 16-0 win over Coughlin. He was listed as doubtful the week before Saturday's game and did not play defense at all against Nanticoke. But Jackson was not about to make excuses. “Sure, that really hurt us,” admitted Jackson. “But Nanticoke deserved to win, we didn't. We played very well without Butcofski against Coughlin. But it will be nice to get everyone back to 100 percent.” With the injuries, and a tough Nanticoke defense, slowing down Burd, Jackson turned for offen- Fullback Ed Mattie (30) looked on. | The Mounts face a tough Meyers squad next on October 9 at Meyers.

(Post photo/Ron Bartizek) sive support to junior quarterback Brian Brady who responded well. Brady completed 15 of 30 passes for 190 yards and two touchdowns. His performance drew rave reviews from his head coach. “I thought that Brian Brady had a great game,” said Jackson. “He threw the ball well and our line gave him time to throw the ball. But we dropped too many passes. If we caught the passes that we should have, he would have thrown for about 230 yards. We need him to keep playing like that. I've said it before; Brian could eventually be one of the best quarterbacks that I've ever coached at Dallas.” Senior Todd Paczewski and sophomore Mike Viglone each had touchdown receptions for the Mountainers. The other Dallas score came on a brilliant 87-yard kickoff return by Burd in the fourth quarter. Volleyball LADY KNIGHTS SWEEP NORTH POCONO On Monday, Sept. 29, the Lake- Lehman Lady Knights volleyball team swept host North Pocono by the score of 15-6 and 15-5.
