The Dallas Post HB Calendar ©” Section 2 HE Classified Sports\Week HB School By DAVE KONOPKI Sports Correspondent Coming into the season with a relatively inexperienced team and nearly all of their pre-season ac- tion wiped out by bad weather, Dallas High School girls’ soccer coach Ron Moran didn't quite know what to expect from his team. What he got was another out- standing season. The Lady Mountaineers cap- tured their fourth consecutive Wyoming Valley Conference regu- Little League lar season title. The champion- ship also allowed Moran to cap- ture his own coaching “Daily Double”. The likeable, knowl- edgeable and versatile coach led the Mountaineers to a field hockey title last fall. Moran's soccer charges ad- vanced to the District 2 finals last week before bowing to Bishop Hoban in the title game. But the Mountaineer’s season is far from over. The Lady Mounts will compete in the inaugural Pennsylvania State Eastern Championships beginning this Rangers, Astros atop standings The Rangers and Astros re- mained atop their respective divi- sions as Back Mountain Baseball completed their sixth week of major league action. The Rangers remained perfect with a 12-0 record and have a three-game lead over the A's and Indians. The Reds, 9-3, remained on the heels of the Astros, 10-2. Both teams appear to be pulling away from the rest of the division. The Red Sox continued their torrid play, winning four consecutive games over the past two weeks and reaching the .500 mark with a 6-6 record.

Dallas is one of just eight high school teams in eastern Pennsyl- vania to participate in the play- offs. | Not too bad for a team coming into the season with their share of question marks. “Obviously, it's been a good season,” said Moran. “We wanted to win the league championship and wanted a shot at the district title. We felt coming into the season that they (Hoban) might be the team to beat this season.” The fate of this year’s Moun- taineers, according to Moran, was in the hands of some inexperi- enced underclassmen. “That was the unknown,” ex- plained Moran. “Our success was going todepend on how our young people played. About midway through the season we saw them coming together. They under- stood the system and they started to blend together. That's when we knew we could have a very good team.” POST PHOTO/RON BARTIZEK FIREBALLER - Bruce Nagle pitched the Reds to a win over the Yankees in Little League action last week.
