Syracuse By LEN KRYESKI Sports Writer Lake-Lehman student-athlete Angelo DeCesaris never forgot some paternal advice he received a few years ago. Combining that knowledge with exuberance and a strong work ethic has made Angelo more than just a two-year varsity starter for the Lehman football and basketball teams. Along the way, he's become one of the most dominant and respected senior athletes in the Wyoming Valley Conference. With just a handful of games remaining, he may be sorry to see his Black Knight athletic career come to an end, but because of the information his father sup- plied, there's certainly no looking back. “Ihave noregrets,” Angelo said. “My dad told me to work hard, EO CU A AL a ——— DALLAS YOUTH BASKETBALL Standings for 5-6 grade St. John's Miami Georgetown Seton Hall Boston College Pittsburgh ovo N©OsS SOULE AWS -—h Villanova Four games remain in season never look back and say what if. - I've done everything I can to make myself a better athlete and pre- pare myself in the athletic field.” He's the son of Angelo F. and Donna DeCesaris of Shavertown.

By LEN KRYESKI Sports Writer WILKES-BARRE - Fans of the Lady Mountaineers found it easy to compare their team’s frigid start to the cold temperatures outside the GAR gymnasium Monday night. The Dallas girls found them- selves down in a hurry. By the time coach Kim Barbacci signaled for a time-out three minutes into the game, the scoreboard read 10-1 in the Grenadiers favor. They never made up the difference in a game that ended 65-51 GAR. At that point Dallas had al- ready committed five turnovers. They proceeded to hand the ball over four more times in the stanza helping GA build up a 27-8 first quarter lead. Cold shooting was hardly a fac- tor; getting the ball to the hoop was. The GAR two-three defense didn’t scare Dallas at all, but their press did, leading to five of the nine turnovers. To their credit, the Lady Mounts didn't offer any excuses for the poor start. Magic comes Dallas Youth 7th-8th Grade Basketball Sunday, Feb. 4. In the opening game, it was the Magic defeating the Warriors by a score of 44-42. The first quarter went to the Warriors 16-7. Each team traded baskets in the sec- ond quarter with the half-time score favoring the Warriors 28- 19. However, the tide changed in the third quarter with the half time score with the Magic outscoring the Warriors 11-2, to tie the game at 30 all. The Magic scored some key baskets late in the game, coupled with some nice defensive plays to seal the win. The Magic offense was led by Ryan Sorber with a game high 19 points, followed by Mike Domzalski with 10 points. The Warrior offense was led by Justin Bicking and T.C. Harding, each with 13 points, followed by Paul Dougal with eight points. The Warriors had five three-point baskets: three by Bicking and two by Harding.

Robin Suda led all scorers with 19 and Holly Baseski netted 14.

More often then not, that someone was Christa Galella. The junior scored 10 of her team- high 24 points in the opening frame. Dallas couldn't capitalize when GAR did miss. Rebounds were few and far between during the early going. Lh The Back Mountain girls never. gave up, however, and outscored ‘their counterparts 43-38 the rest" of the way. They did so by cutting. down on turnovers and getting back to the style of basketball that vaulted them toa 5-0 start in: the season's second half. os, “In the second and third quar-: ters we started to play again as a’ team,” Barbacci said. v0 See LADY MOUNTS, pg 10 back for win the first quarter it was the Sixers leading the Hornets 13-8.
