10 The Dallas Post Dallas, PA Wednesday, November 10, 1993 Adult basketball league begins '93-94 season The Dallas Adult Basketball League opened play for the 93-94 season on Sunday, Nov. 7 with three games. One of the interesting features of this year's league is the intro- duction of the four point goal. Any shot from beyond the 3-point line in the last two minutes of the game, counts as four points. It is hoped that this will give the trail- ing team a chance to come back late in the game. The league opener featured two new teams and saw the powerful Philadelphia Subs overwhelm Allen Construction 80-52. Rick Gebhart poured in 37 points for the winners and Ron Zynel added 13. Joe Sinkulak had 20 and Eric Philadelphia Subs 80 FG F Tot. Gebhart**e. 15 1 37 Swank 2 0 4 Feddock* 4 0 9 L. Gleco 4 0 2 C.

DOVE LEAN, MEAN PIZZA-EATING MACHINE — Lake- Lehman fall sports athletes who will defend their s¢hool’s honor against Dallas in a pizza-eating contest for “Old Shoe Game Week” November 18 at the Villa Roma are, seated from left: Will Woronko, Mike Adam- shick and Kevin Rusinko; standing: Ernie Chamberlain and David Pizza (continued from page 1) At that time there was intense gridiron competition between Kingston Township, Dallas Town- ship, Westmoreland and Lehman- Jackson-Ross high schools. After Ambrose suggested the idea to Dallas Township principal and coach Robert Dolbear, Dolbear told his team to throw their football cleats into a pile. He dug in, pulled one out and gave it to the Rotary to be bronzed. Although no one seems to know whose cleat it was, the coveted Old Shoe trophy is still up for grabs, staying in the winning school for a year. Kingston Township won the first Old Shoe game in 1948; Lehman Township fook it for the next two years. The Old Shoe was passed to Westmoreland in 1952, Lehman- Jackson-Ross in 1953 and ‘54, then back to Westmoreland in 1955. In 1956 there was a three-way tie between Lehman-Jackson- Ross, Dallas-Franklin and Westmoreland high schools. Lehman-Jackson-Ross, later Lake-Lehman High School, be- came the Old Shoe’s home in 1957 and stayed there until 1960, when Westmoreland took it. Since 1960, Dallas and Lake- Lehman have battled for the Old Shoe. Do you know whose football cleat became the Old Shoe trophy? Do you have any special recollec- tions of the Old Shoe game?

They finished the season more talented, more experienced, and their reputation as one of the finest girls’ volleyball programs in Northeastern Pennsylvania intact. Although they came up just short in their quest for a District 2 championship, this was a very good year for the Lake-Lehman girls’ volleyball team and head coach Bob Rogers. Alan Alda and Barbara Her- shey may have starred in the movie, but the Lehman and Tunkhannock girls’ volleyball team are giving new meaning to the phrase “Same time nextyear.” For the eighth consecutive year the Lady Knights and Tunkhan- nock have met for the title. This time, the Lady Tigers walked away with the gold following a 15-11, 16-14, 15-4 win over Lake- Lehman. At the beginning of the year, it looked as though the streak was in jeopardy. Tunkhannock was unbeaten but the Lady Knights were 3-3 and their inexperience was showing. But then, as in so many times in the past, the Knights rose to the occasion. “When we were 3-3 I didn't even know if we'd be in the play- offs, let alone the finals,” said Rogers. “But then we played Nanticoke who only had one loss at that time and we beat them. Beating them turned the season around for us.” The Lady Knights had six sen- iors on their roster and Rogers said the group of Jessica Kenney, Jessica Hynick, Shannon Swan, Julie Demidovich, Natalie Karpin- ich, and Becky Walter will be Have Your Holiday Party At GROTTO PIZZA!

Jessica Hynick kept im- proving right up until the end of the season. She is a fine front court player but I think her back row ability was overlooked. They (the seniors) are a great group.” Rogers quickly admits he has been blessed with dedicated, hard- working and likeable teams dur- ing his 11 years with the program. This team was no different. “These girls worked very hard to achieve what they achieved,” Rogers said. “This has been one of the nicest, if not the nicest, group of girls I've ever seen around. They will be missed. The veteran coach sees the talent in the league being on the rise. “There are a lot of programs getting better each year,” said Rogers. “Nanticoke and Crestwood had very good teams this year. The overall quality of play is getting better. But when the smoke cleared at the end of the season, it was still Tunkhan- nock and Lake-Lehman.” Some things never change. A year to remember for Dallas soccer team By DAVE KONOPKI Sports Writer They may not have advanced to the state playoffs like many of his past teams did. And they may not wear the jackets proclaiming themselves District 2 champions like some. But there is little doubt the memories of his 1993 team will take a special place in the heart of the Dallas High School soccer coach John McCafferty. “This team has been a pleasure to coach, they're very special,” said McCafferty, whose team was dealt a heartbreaking overtime loss to Crestwood in the District 2 championship game last week. After playing 80 minutes of regu- lation, 20 minutes of mandatory overtime and 10 minutes of sud- den death, Dallas was defeated in a penalty kick shootout, 3-2. In the district semi-final, Dal- las advanced with a 6-1 win over the backyard rival Lake-Lehman as Joe Ankenbrand tallied four goals and Sean Callahan added a pair. Although he was disappointed with the loss, the setback did little to change the way McCafferty felt about this team. “I said right from the beginning of the year that this was a great group of kids to coach,” McCaf- ferty said. “They were a lot of fun. I've always encouraged my teams to be creative on the field. That's exactly what this team was.” Advancing to the district final was even more than the optimis- Local grads play in college tic McCafferty could have hoped for in the beginning of the season. Dallas had just four seniors, Ken Chapple, Ed Schall, Pat Scoble and Ryan Finn, on its roster. “I never would have believed it. * I would have said, ‘yeah, right,” answered McCafferty, when asked what he would have thought if someone told him back in August his team would play for the title in November. “They got further than I thought they would. We really had no depth. We were 100 per- cent healthy for just one game (district semi-final against Lehman) and this team did not have the typical John McCafferty- type defense.” The highly successful coach . had praise for his seniors and one of the best underclassman in the conference. “Kenny Chapple was outstand- ing,” McCafferty said. “Ed (Schall) played very good defense and made few mistakes. very good job in goal for us and Ryan (Finn) played good off the bench. “Sean Callahan's work ethic is incredible,” said McCafferty of the junior midfielder. “He never quits. Pat Scoble did a ; He was the one that inspired his team all season long.” While they came up short of winning the title, the Dallas soc- cer team advanced to the district final for the fifth straight season and proved one thing. “If you're going to win any soc- cer championships in our confer- ence, youre going to have to go through Dallas,” said McCafferty. field hockey tournaments A large contingent of former Dallas and Lake-Lehman field hockey players took part in vari- ous NCAA Division I, II and III tournaments this past weekend. In Division I, Dallas's Kelly Cleary took part in the Atlantic Coast Conference tournament as a contributing member of the Wake Forest Demon Deacons. The tourney featured three of the top 15 teams in the nation in Mary- land (#2), North Carolina (#4) and Virginia (#13). In Division II, Dallas's Theresa Mathers and Lake-Lehman’s Dyan Dymond took part in the Division II national championship between Lock Haven University and Bloomsburg University. best of Mathers’ Lock Haven squad in an overtime match decided by penalty strokes. In Division III, Dallas’ Megan Moran, a starter on Ithaca’s field hockey team, got a chance to play in the regional playoff game against Susquehanna. Moran had ., added incentive playing the game in front of her father Ron, the head coach at Dallas, who won the District 2 title recently. Lehman's Jonelle Pall is a mem- ber of the Susquehanna team. by Dave Konopki B and C Jr. Knights suffer losses The Jr. Knights C Squad took a loss in the playoffs against West Pittston on Sunday, Nov. 7.
