| Roundup 10 “Mountaineers \ The Dallas Post Dallas, PA Wednesday, February 4, 1998 (continued from page 9) ‘double digit win over the Vikings January 20. Dallas's strong free throw shooting and rebounding helped keep the Vikings frustrated in the closing minutes of that game. A triple-overtime victory over the Eagles of Seton Catholic gave the Mountaineers a fourth con- secutive victory January 24 in Pittston. The game was tight throughout, with neither getting - up by more than six points during regulation. Dallas center Jon Saba made two important free throws with .7 seconds remaining in double overtime to send the con- test to triple overtime. The Mountaineers excitement carried over to the third extra session, which they dominated, getting ahead by six points in the first minute of the third overtime, a lead they would never relin- - quish. The team’s hard work and “desire to win was the difference in ‘the game as both schools had several opportunities to put the game away. Improving its second-half record to 3-0, the Mountaineers found themselves tied for first Ann B. DePietro DDS 48 - Franklin First 6 Ann B. DePietro DDS defeated Franklin First Savings by a score of 48-6. Scoring came from Bobby - Lenahan with 27, Ronnie Shiner with 13, Connor Lenahan with 6 DYB and Billy - DeAngelo with 2. 3-4 BOYS DePietro also defeated Family Practice by a score of 33-27. Scoring came’ from Bobby Lenahan with 21, Connor Lenahan with 6, Ronnie Shiner, Donald Cowles and David Hanadel “all with 2. Saturday's game be- “tween DePietro and American Le- gion resulted in a DePietro victory by a score of 27-20. It was a hard fought game by both teams. Al- though the lead only changed hands a couple of times, the game ~ was close throughout all four quarters. Bobby Lenahan’s game high 15 points led DePietro to victory, while Connor Lenahan “sank OC from the outside. Ronnie Shiner’s excellent defensive play and his 6 points sealed the win.

Central Clay 40 - Dallas Family Practice 24 Central Clay jumped out to a 10-2 lead at the end of the first quarter on the shooting of Adam Singer and Ryan Konopki. Both teams’ big men caught fire in the second quarter with Central Clay's Eric Domzalski scoring 14 points place in Division II after the three crossover games with Division III opponents were over. I Dallas then battled Meyers tough until the Mohawks were able to pull away in the second half to defeat the Mountaineers at home last Tuesday and end the Mounts’ winning streak at four games. This past Friday, Dallas lost at Wyoming Area 63-57 in a game which could have gone ei- ther way. You would have to consider this a successful season for the Mountaineers, who were not ex- pected to improve much on their 2-20record from last season. That is, they were not expected by other teams to pose that much of a threat. In their minds, though, this was not a surprise. They be- lieved all along they could play with the rest of the conference. Since the Mountaineers return Smith, Saba, Carroll, Bruce Kunkle — one of the leading free throw shooters in the conference — and sophomores Matt Jackson and Matt Wycallis, Dallas could contend for the Division II cham- pionship next year. DePietro remains undefeated at 7-0 and Dallas Family Practice’s David Harding scoring 12 points. Cen- tral Clay led at halftime 24-14.
