Five of the top six lineman are ~ seniors, but only guard Frank ~. Gesky is a returning starter. The other seniors include cen- ter Dan Natitus, guard Dan Po- dehl and tackles Chris Stolarcyk and Frank Lombardo (a transfer I" student from Pittston Area). Sto- + | larcyk and Lombardo split time at ! the left tackle position. Junior '., Scott Townsend is the other (+. member of the line and is the i, team’s starting right tackle. i “Scott's one of our best line- ; man,” said head coach Ted + Jackson. # : As a group these guys under- + stand their mission. Their job is } tobe the force that shows the way ! for the skill people - to hit people, + move them out of the way, and : knock them down whenever pos- sible. : “The best part is hitting people + as hard as you can,” said Gesky. { “Just go and knock them out.” ! “You have to be intense on the J line,” added Podehl. “You can't i worry if you're going to miss (the | defender). You just have to go out ' © there and hit the person lined up | ~right'across from you. You can pe never lose focus.” A In addition to being intense "*and focused, the lineman agree == that they work harder and sweat more than their teammates. The reward is not always equal to what the skill people receive, but they're satisfied in knowing that the coaches and fellow players are well aware of their contributions. “I know what I do and the coaches know what I do,” said Gesky. “As long as they know, the lack of recognition doesn't mat- ter.” “Being down in the trenches, that's where the real battle goes on,” said Stolarcyk. “No one sees it as they should, but that doesn’t really matter as long as we do what we have to do.” Gesky is the son of Frank and Celeste Gesky of Dallas. He has i ¢ the member of the Mountaineer baseball team and has an older brother, Dave and a younger sis- ter, Sarah. In addition to football, Natitus wrestles and plays baseball for Dallas. The three-sport star is the son of Frank and Debbie Natitus of Trucksville. Like Podehl, he has an older brother, Frankand a younger sister, Katie. His favorite part of the game is winning the battle with the opposing defender. “I like to put him on his butt or drive him five or more yards back- wards,” said Natitus. “Then you won the battle.” Stolarcyk can also be found on the baseball diamond in the spring. He is the son of Kevin and Sally Stolarcyk of Shavertown. They have a younger son, Jesse. Lombardo played football at Pittston Area last year and is one of two transfer players joining the Mountaineers roster this fall (the other is junior tight end/line- backer Mark Kaschenbach, for- merly of Wyoming Seminary. Frank's father, Joe, recently moved to Dallas. His mother, Kathy, lives in Maryland. The 210 pounder is also considering going out for wrestling at Dallas. The transition to Dallas was hard at first, but he’s learned most of the plays and is now starting to fit in. He also hopes to see some duty at defensive end. “We played a 5-2 defense at P.A.", Lombardo said, “but here it's a 4-4 which allows the ends to crash. I like to crash and hit people.” All of the pre-season work on the offensive line figures to pay dividends. Lombardo can expect a lot of playing time in his lone year as a Mountaineer. “All of the hard work in practice pays off in a game,” said Lom- bardo, “Thenyou get to hit people.” The Mountaineer lineman like to spend some quiet time, usually as a group in the wrestling room before the game. That time is Lehman (continued from page 9) ning on days when they dominate the line of scrimmage. Lehman returns three senior starters at the quarterback and running back positions. Mike Adamshick and Mike Pitcavage combined for over 2,000 yards rushing last season and John Oliver can win a game with his arm or legs. “Our quarterbacks and our running backs have a lot of re- spect for the line,” Morris said. “They're really good about letting us know that, especially when we do a nice job for them.” Six foot, 230 pound tackle Chris Swire is the leader of the offensive line. This is his third season as a starting member of coach Rich Gorgone'’s lineup. He's earned the respect of opposing coaches around the Wyoming Valley Con- ference and a number of colleges have indicated they may be able to use his services next season. “It's hard to start as a sopho- more for Lake-Lehman,” Swire said. “I feel good about being a three year starter.” Chris is the son of Ralph and Jean Swire of Lehman Township. He has a younger brother, Tim, a sophomore running back hoping to see some playing time in the fall of "95. Swire can play tackle or guard and enjoys the intense competi- tion that goes on between offen- sive lineman and their brethren on defense. “I like having somebody in your face,” Swire said. “Every play you're going real hard with the guy across from you. You try to beat him on every play.” Lehman running backs expect to find plenty of holes on the right side this season. Morris (6-2, 200) lines up along side Swire at the guard position to form a very solid right side. The son of Joseph and Mary Ellen Morris of Lake Silkworth moved into the starting lineup last season. Joe is also a member of the Honor Society at Lehman and plans to go out for track in the spring. He has a younger brother, Matt. In the past, Thomas has been most valuable rushing through offensive lineman from his defen- sive end position. This year he lines up as the Black Knights’ number one center and will con- tribute as a two-way starter dur- ing his senior year. At 6-2, 200 pounds, Thomas is one of seven, children of Evan and Carol Thomas of Shavertown. He has three sisters, Elizabeth, Gail and JoAnna and three brothers, Evan III, Andrew and David. “All three of them are good guys,"said coach Gorgone. “They do anything we ask and all three have a shot at playing in college- probably in division two or three.” For now the three will team up with juniors Ryan Hartz and Kevin Whipple to lead their dynamic backfield into the end zone. They fully realize that Pitcavage, Adam- shick and Oliver will be the play- ers seeing their names in the game summary, but that's o.k. “I'm not really looking for a lot of recognition,” said Thomas. “I'm just trying to help my team do the best it can. We're part of a team trying to win.” A bunch of victories and an invitation to the post season would suit the offensive line just fine - oh, and there's just one other thing. “Putting a lot of guys on their back,” added Morris.
