i i | | 4 } { 4 ] f 10 The Dallas Post Dallas, PA Wednesday, April 13, 1994 5 i & | § | Dallas (continued from page 9) Tunkhannock, Lake-Lehman and Pittston should be the teams to beat and Valley West could be dangerous. This should be one of the most competitive seasons in the (WVC Class AAA) North in quite a while. “We've also been very sick,” added Pope. “We've had quite a number of girls with health prob- lems during the pre-season and being confined to a gym didn't help matters.” Pope returns his trio of pitch- ers from last year, including Katie Sallitt, who posted a 7-4 record last season and juniors Kelly West (5-0) and Bridget Temperine. Freshman Sandy McCloud could also get time on the mound this season. Other returning starters in- clude Janosky, senior Michelle Siglin (OF); junior Therese Paxton (OF) and sophomores Holly Bas- eski (2B) and Suzanne Fisher (1B)(. Senior catcher Carra Giardina returns to the lineup after miss- ing her junior season because ofa knee injury. Other key performers include senior Jamie Barbacci (UTIL); juniors Kristy Woolbert (OF), Heather Patton (OF), Kim Kamine (3B), Anne Hays (2B); sophomores Lisa Tomaine (OF), Sara Rhodes (IF) and freshmen Melanie Getz (3B), Mary Ann Selenski (OF), Sarah Barlow (OF), Shannon Caboot (OF) and Michelle Molesky ©). Pope knows this could be a season to remember. “We've had a very difficult pre- season,” said Pope. “But I think that when we get outside on a daily basis, the character of this team may develop. We're cau- tiously optimistic. We could have one of the most successful sea- sons Dallas has ever had, or we can have one we would want to forget. But we have a tremendous amount of confidence in the girls.” Lehman (continued from page 9) worsened with time and Finn found herself facing major back surgery last November. Taking the sound advice of Horace Greeley, Finn made her way west, to San Francisco, where doctors placed steel rods in her back and fused every vertebrae. “This really wasn't the year for me to come back, not physically,” said Finn, who faces a rehabilita- tion period of six to 12 months but should have a 95 percent recov- ery. “ButIalso didn't want to risk losing the job, so I took it.” With the job in hand, Finn secured the services of Bob Gray, a highly successful softball coach in District 16's Big League pro- gram. Gray led the Big League team, comprised of 16-18 year old players from the Back Mountain, Northwest, Bob Horlacher and Harveys Lake programs, to con- secutive state championships in 1992 and 93. He handles all the physical aspects of coaching at Lehman and works with the in- fielders. On the field, enthusiasm runs high despite having a young and fairly inexperienced team. Seniors Heather Gray (SS) and Julie Babcock (CF) are the lone senior letter winners returning from last year’s championship season, and both hit near the .350 mark in their junior seasons. Juniors Amy Rogers (3B), Ni- ‘cole Naugle (2B), Terry Macieczyk (OF), and Jen Birt (P) should be members of the starting lineup for the Lady Knights, joined by sopho- mores Jonelle Elgaway (OF/P), Kelly Spencer (1B), and freshman catcher Kim Spencer. Other key players are sophomores Missy Gray (OF) and Kristy Mascalis (LF/OF). “The attitude of the girls is ter- rific,” said Finn, who calls her husbanddJim, ‘Lake-Lehman soft- ball's biggest fan’. “They are very, very easy to coach. They listen to what we say and they do what they're told. They're hitting the ball well right now and they're continuing to work hard. “Heather and Julie provide a lot of senior leadership,” added “Finn. “They're talented, extremely coachable and are always willing to help the younger players. The kids know the kind of success we've had here and they don’t want to stop the tradition.” Finn has a strong pitcher/ catcher battery in Birt and Spencer. Unlike the hard-throw- ing pitchers who have become the trademark of Lehman softball, Birt is a finesse pitcher with the ability to change speeds well. With the support of her family and Gray by her side on the field, Finn entered the 1994 campaign and was greeted with open arms by the players. “They treat me wonderfully,” said Finn, who has helped count- less athletes, regardless of the sport, in securing college scholar- ships around the nation. “They've shown a real sensitivity to my condition. They've just been great. That kind of action really renews your faith in kids today.” at regional tourney Two Back Mountain Wrestling Club grapplers placed at the Middle Atlantic Wrestling Association Regional Tourna- ment held in Shamokin.

DOVE Post Staff The Lake-Lehman school board adopted its final revised 179-day calendar for the rest of the pres- ent school year at its regular May 5 meeting. , Graduation has been resched- uled to June 17, while June 23 will be the last day of school for all other students, who will be dis- missed at 10 a.m. that day. Karen Whipple cast the lone vote against the calendar, stating her concerns for par- ents who have already made non- refundable reservations for vaca- tions or summer camp, and stu- dents who may have summer jobs beginning before June 23. “I feel that this could cause undue hardship for some people,” she said. “Also, I wonder how much learning will actually go on enough hours of school to meet the state requirements.” In personnel matters, the board appointed assistant high school play director Leigh Strimbeck, at’ a salary of $970, and elementary - substitute teacher Ember Miller. The resignation of junior high" softball coach Cindy Slocum and . theretirement of Lehman-Jackson head custodian Frank Snyder were accepted. ® Bids of $5,691 for audio-visual equipment and $17,639 for fall. sports equipment were awarded.
