However, they most likely play soccer and only do the kicking duties for the foot- ball team. Or some two-sport athletes may only participate on two sports. Natalie doesn’t just participate, she is very good at both sports, a varsity starter in field hockey and a returning 10th place finisher at the cross country District Cham- pionship. Let's take a look at a typical day in the life of Natalie Temperine during the fall sports season. She gets up, goes to school, concen- trates on her studies, and then goes to field hockey practice. Hockey practice lasts until 5:30 or 6:00. Natalie goes home, then she changes into her running clothes and usually runs 3 to 5 miles. cross country meet. Because of her daily training regimen, she can stay in running shape while missing some meets. She says that she will be at several of the league meets, and she will gettoa few weekend invitationals, and of course, districts. Last year, as a sophomore, Natalie began pulling double duty. When asked which sport is her favorite, her response was “I love them both, but if I was forced to pick only one, it would be field E hockey.” ; Consider the differences be- A tween the two sports.

Dallas High School's Natalie Temperine does something that only a few athletes can do. She plays two sports. Oh, you've heard of two-sport athletes before you say. You've even heard of three- sport athletes. Well, Natalie's two sports both take place in the same season. That's right, Natalie is on the Dallas Varsity Field Hockey and Cross Country teams. Yes, there are local athletes who play soccer and football. They are to be commended for their She gets home around 7:00, and she starts her homework. Natalie says that she normally finishes up her homework around 8:30. That's easily a 12-hour day. And she does this every day. Asked if she ever feels like tak- ing a night off from running after a hard hockey practice she said, “Yeah, I feel like that sometimes, but I run anyway. I'd regret it in my next meet.” It is impossible for Natalie to be at every field hockey game and ‘Black Knights give POST PHOTO/RON BARTIZEK Natalie Temperine, in action against Lehman Sept. 11, plays two varsity sports for Dallas. The junior also runs cross country. — GRID ACTION Columbia too much By VITO QUAGLIA Sports Writer LEHMAN - Lake-Lehman was generous in moving the starting time of their game against Central Columbia to 11 a.m. so the Blue Jays’ quarterback could be in his brother's wedding. But the Knights may have gotten carried away with their generosity by giv- ing away the football several times in the game. Five Lake-Lehman turnovers were the gifts Central Columbia used in orchestrating a 14-0 vic- tory over the Black Knights Sat- urday. Three first half fumbles, | two inside their opponents’ 5-yard line, destroyed possible scoring drives for the Knights. “If you told me before the game that they were going to get their second score with under two min- utes left, I would have told you that we would win the game,” explained a disappointed head coach Rich Gorgone. “This is the third game in which we've made mental mistakes. In the first two, we overcame them. Against Cen- tral Columbia, those mistakes caught up to us.” Tailback Marc Ronczka turned in a good performance, rushing for 113 yards on the day, nearly reaching the century mark in the Knights’ miscues overshadowed their positive play. The Blue Jays recovered a loose ball on their own five yard line, and marched 95 yards to paydirt. The scoring drive was capped off by a 26-yard touchdown pass from quarterback Nate Klingerman to Jason Laubach. Central Columbia led at the break 7-0. “] thought we played well at spots in the first half, but we were flat at halftime,” said Gorgone. “I could see it in their faces. The fumbles reallv killed us.” Central Columbia running back Trent Flick was the workhorse for the Blue Jays. He carried the ball 30 times for 138 yards. Flick scored on a 10-yard run with 1:48 left in the game to seal the victory. Gorgone made no excuses for his team's loss. “Columbia is a Al A 1 BN A A re Dallas waited until the third quarter to put points on the board, then went on to beat Nanticoke 22-14 Saturday.

LEHMAN - After soundly de- feating Berwick 7-0 in a solid performance on Friday, Lake Lehman field hockey coach Jean Lipski thinks her squad is coming together. SaraKasperandJendJohnstone each had two first half goals. Deb White, Tiffany Van Scoy, and Christine Farrell scored the other goals in a whitewash that saw Lehman outshoot Berwick 21-1. “I think the girls are finally playing up to their potential,” said Lipski. “Our positioning has been excellent, but now we must con- centrate on getting mentally tougher.” In addition to her scoring, Johnstone had three assists. Sara Kasper, Kacy Ziomek, Nikki Yablonski and Leighann Isaac also had assists. Having a team loaded with in- dividual talent does not always cessful, and Lipski knows that. “I think that we are starting to play very well as a team. Hockey is definitely a team sport. It's so important to work as one unit, but it doesn't always happen. Against Berwick we saw what play- ing as a team can do.” Lehman has O'Reilly and North- west this week, and then Wyo- ming Seminary and Tunkhannock next week. “Both O'Reilly and Northwest are playing tougher than in years past and Sem and Tunkhannock are always tough, explained Lipski. “Our next few weeks will be difficult.
