After Monday's first half finale in which Lehman beat Dallas 54- 45, the Knights finished tied for second place at 5-3 while Meyers and GAR finished tied for first place at 6-2. Wyoming Area was also 5-3, Hanover was 4-4 and even Dallas, at 2-6, was very com- petitive. “We thought that’s how it would be,” said Morgan. “We expected a lot of close games.” In fact, the Black Knights were just a few close games from hold- ing the first half division title. Their three league losses were to Meyers (by four points), Hanover (in overtime) and Wyoming Area (by five points). The loss to Wyoming Area last Saturday was the most critical since it eliminated the Knights’ chances of a first place tie. “Head- d Morgan hman coach ing into that game, we still had a chance for first place,” said Mor- gan. “That was a toush Inss ” Lehman, 9-7 overall, must now focus on the second half and a District II AAA playoff berth. “We open the second half Saturday at Seton Catholic, the top team in Division III,” said Morgan. “That will be a very important game.” Morgan, who is in his fourth year at the helm of the Knights, has his most experienced team ever with three seniors, four jun- iors and two sophomores among the nine players who see most of the varsity action. Seniors Nikki Bouthot, Adrienne Miroslaw and Marie Manzoni serve as team tri-cap- tains. Despite standing just 54", Bouthot starts at forward while Miroslaw is a four-year starter at guard. Manzoni comes off the bench and can play wherever she is needed. “Experience has been one of our assets,” said Morgan, who is assisted by Mike Sharok.. “It cer- tainly has been helpful with all See LADY KNIGHTS, pg 10 DALLAS YOUTH BASKETBALL5-6 Susko's 30 points MIAMI 45 - PITT 14 Chase Susko scored 30 points to lead Miami to a 45-14 victory over Pittsburgh in Dallas Youth Basketball 5th/6th grade action.
