Dallas opened Game 1 with the first point, but Lehman answered with a total of 15 points fora quick win. The Black Knights only lost the serve twice throughout the entirety of the game. In Game 2, however, the Black Knights had to work harder for the victory, as the Mountaineers played as a team to break up the Knights’ offensive momentum. The serve changed hands many times and the Mountaineers looked as if they might come from behind when Sarah Misson took charge of the serve for Dallas. She and her teammates did an excel- lent job against the powerful Lehman hitters throughout much of the second game, even though they did not win. Lehman fin- ished Game 2 with 15 points to Dallas's 7. Misson had strong net play in the match, and she showed en- thusiasm with the team's per- formance, which is typical of the Mountaineers this year. “I was . pretty excited because our team @ Vas working together. We had talked about working together and we had some problems, but we kind of got it together for those couple of points and it was excit- ing,” she said. “I think we did pretty well.

Lehman coach Bob Rogers at- tributed the score to the inability of the Mountaineers to return: many of the Lehman serves. “If you can't receive serves, you're in for a long night,” he said.”Dallas had a lot of trouble with our serv- ing and that pretty much told the game. We had 18 service aces out of 30 points. We're playing very well right now.” Lake Lehman, which has im- proved every week so far this year according to Rogers, is preparing for their match against Tunkhan- nock scheduled for Oct. 25, which he described as their next big match. Rogers said the Lehman offense needs to “hit the ball more often and with more authority.” Susan Benedetti's strong de- fense helped the Mountaineers hold their own against the Black Knight offense. Dallas coach Richelle Straka praised her team for their effort in the match with Lehman. “We were having some team problems as far as teamwork and working together until last week. You can really see that we worked together much better,” she said. “ Because of that, we were able to play the ball better, our offense was stronger, and the team spirit was much higher.

Dallas turns big game into rout By LYNN OLDHAM Sports Correspondent The Mountaineers took advan- tage of every opportunity in last Friday's match-up with Nanticoke, rushing their way to a 28-3 win, their seventh without a loss. The Mounts dominated the Trojans offensively, finishing with 312 yards total offense to Nanti- coke’'s 157 yards. Quarterback Ted Jackson repeatedly looked to tailback Buddy Rhodes for the handoff in the Mountaineers’ opening drive. Then Jackson found tight end Pat O'Neill in the endzone from the 19 for the first score. Jeff Kunkle put the PAT through the uprights, making the score 7-0 in favor of Dallas. Coach Ted Jackson praised the offensive players and coaching, stating, “Buddy was a bear. The last two weeks our offensive line seems to have stepped up, it re- ally has. Our line coaches, Tony Chiarucci, Harry Gulichand John McNeil have done a great job preparing those kids for these two weeks.” Rich Klick was the man towatch as he made excellent defensive plays when Nanticoke's offense took the ball for their first drive, which ended scoreless. Dallas then took control at their own 36-yard line when a fake punt by the Trojans failed and they fell short of the first down. After Nanticoke intercepted a Jackson pass near their own 45, the Mount defense played kept the Trojans out of the endzone. GNA did put some points on the board, as the 25 yard field goal attempt by Ed Lukowski was good, but the second quarter score would be the last for the Trojans. The Mount defense again came through when they forced a hurry which led to an interception by Jackson and another drive downfield by the Dallas offense. Senior Mike Viglone made two key receptions in this drive, both for first downs The drive ended in a missed field goal attempt by Kunkle, but the Mountaineers left the first half with a 7-3 lead which they never relinquished. Even though the Trojans re- ceived the kickoff in the second half, an interception by Kunkle at the Mount 36 ended their posses- sion and was the beginning of another scoring drive by the Dal- las offense. A handoff to Rhodes for a gain of 25 yards gave the Mounts a first down and provided the Dallas offense with a shot of momentum. Jackson then handed off to Rich Butcofski, who rushed to the Nanticoke 10. Jackson looked to Rhodes next, and he advanced the ball to the five yard line, setting up a touch- down pass to O'Neill. Kunkle's extra point brought the Moun- taineer lead to 14-3 lead early in the second half. The Dallas defense stopped the next Nanticoke possession short, as they advanced the ball only five yards on three plays and were forced to punt. The punt was short, and even recovered by the Trojans, but they were unable to capitalize on this possession, as the Mount defense stepped up the pace and forced another punt in just three more plays. The game could not have been won without the talents of either the offense or the defense, but Dallas has been known mostly for their strong defensive . plays. CoachJackson explained that the defense played better in the sec- ond half than in the first. “We pride ourselves on defense. I think our defense was a little bit fired up. When we talked at half time, we said if they don't score, we win. It was 7-3 and we told them at halftime that if they don't get any more than three, we can’t lose. I think they came out and played with much more pursuit, much more gang-tackling in the second half.” On Nanticoke’s next drive, Jackson broke up a pass that would have given GNA the ball just outside their own 10-yard line. Butcofski then intercepted a pass near midfield and brought the ball to the Nanticoke 5-yard line. On the next play, Rhodes took the ball to the two yard line. He then walked it in for the touch- down. Another point after by Kunkle was good and the score was 21-3. Viglone returned the Trojans’ next punt 23 yards to midfield.
