rn a —— 10 The Dallas Post Dallas, PA Wednesday, June 26, 1996 Little League “playoffs begin Saturday Little League baseball's first official date for district tourna- ments is July 1. Unless of course your team happens to be from District 16. League officials in Williamsport voted lo give District 16 — the second largest Little League terri- tory in the world — two extra days to narrow down the 33-team field. First round games in the double elimination tourney will get un- derway this Saturday. Win or lose, all teams are slated to play again on Monday. Local first round games: Satur- day, June 29 West Pittston at Back Mountain National Back Mountain American at Par- sons Bob Horlacher at Bear Creek/ Buck Township Pittston at Harveys Lake Games start at 6 p.m. Senior League Softball: Sun- day, June 30 Back Mountain at Bob Horlacher Both teams advance to the sec- ond round, Tuesday, July 2 Little League Softball: Sunday, June 30 Back Mountain at Plains Northwest at Bob Horlacher Harveys Lake, bye This is also a double-elimination tourney; second round play is scheduled for Tuesday July 2 No umps means no Legion game By LEN KRYESKI Sports Writer DALLAS TOWNSHIP - The players showed up ready to per- form Monday night, but the cur- tain failed to rise. The Back Mountain American Legion baseball team was ready to battle their counterparts from Hazleton on the Dallas High School baseball field. but the teams did little more than warm up as both of the scheduled um- pires failed to show up for the contest. Back Mountain manager, Scott Francis was able (o telephone league officials [rom the field, but calls to the men in blue went unanswered. A couple of late afternoon thunderstorms that swept through the area probably deterred the umpires [rom mak- ing an appearance.

This paved the way to schedule a trip to Europe. It appears likely that Ireland and England will be on next summer's itinerary. The Dragons hope to get involved in more than one foreign tournament which will enable them lo take on teams [rom various countries in Europe. Just in case you were wonder- ing — yes — female European soccer players take the sport just as seriously as their male coun- terparts. “From what I've been told it's pretty physical over there." Callahan said. “We'll find out next year.” This traveling club truly lives up to their name. The girls are preparing for a tournament in New Jersey this weekend. The month of July will basically be used for practice. They'll be involved in more {ournaments come August and league play will arrive with the coming of autumn. The team will participate in the Philadel- phia league again this year. Plenty of things will need to be taken care of during the next year, but it's a day-by-day process on the soccer field. The team is tak- ing each tournament, each game, each league as they come one at a time. Plenty of skills need to be sharpened and lots of games need to be played without worrying about the overseas trip. Concern about cash is an en- tirely different matter, however. The Dragons recently used a clinic as a [und raiser and more - both indoor and outdoor - are on the way. The parents group is con- stantly seeking new campaigns to raise money. Car washes and bake sales will also be held. “We hake and sell a lot of those Welsh cookies,” joked Callahan. At present it appears that any- where from $12,000 to $17,000 will be needed for next July. One variable is the number of tourna- ments the girls will play in. The agenda should be clearer after a meeting with travel agents this coming October. Team members hail from Dal- las and Lake-Lehman as well as Bishop O'Reilly, Wyoming Semi- nary and Coughlin. Every mem- ber is an accomplished, success- ful player in the Wyoming Valley Conference for their respective school. “This is a greal bunch of Kids that have stuck together for a long time,” Callahan said, “and they're sticking together through this - project.” Back Mountain Dragons team members and coach are, from left: kneeling, Kiki Miller, Holly Shiber, Kelly Spencer, Gussie Malpass, Bianca Brdaric, Christy Callahan; standing, Emily Trievel, Coach Paul Callahan, Liz Keating, Mary Brislin, Erin Stair, Nicole Bouthot, Jen Marchakitus, Adrienne Camp, Adrienne Miroslaw.
