JUNIOR FOOTBALL Raiders A swamps Swoyersville Sailors The Raiders A-Team put on an impressive offensive show, mass- ing over 300 yards of total offense en-route to a 30-12 win over the Swoyersville Sailors. Running backs Stephen Salavantis, Billy Youells and Kevin Elston, pounded out 205 yards on the ground and each scored touch- downs. Jonathan Miller, Ken Regan and Salavantis added two point conversions. Regan and Dan Smith also pulled down sev- eral pass receptions to set up Raiders’ scores. The offensive line of Doug Zaruta, Mike Burns, Jonathan Taylor, Ben Nulton and William Siglin did an outstanding job controlling the line of scrim- mage. The Raiders’ defense added to the team’s scoring with a 56 yard interception return by Salavantis and a safety caused by a host of Raider defenders.

The Sailors opened the scoring See RAIDERS, pg 10 Irons Black Knights stumble against Hanover Lake-Lehman’s unbeaten streak came to a screeching halt Saturday, as the visiting Hanover Hawkeyes thumped the Black Knights 40-20. Hanover scored six times before the “mercy rule” was instituted in the third quarter. New this year, the rule requires that a team leading by 35 points or more inthe second half remove its first string players. Lehman played the game without two key starters, Carl Sgarlat and Brent Stransky, who were out with injuries, and lost three more during the game. Floyd McRoy scored the Knights’ firsttouchdown onan 84-yard kickoff return in the third quarter, and John Pitcavage went in on a 4-yard running play. Mack Newell scored the game’s final points on the last play, a 2-yard rushing touchdown. Lake-Lehman’s powerful passing game was absent. Quarterback D.J. Kapson was 4-for-9 for only 26 yards and tossed two interceptions. He was sacked twice. Favorite target Matt Morris didn’tcatcha pass. Onthe ground, Newell gained 71 yards on eight carries. Perhaps the only bright spot was that the Knights did not fumble, and recovered one of two Hanover fumbles. In left photo, Chris Navin scampered out of a Hanover tackler's grasp. Floyd McRoy, below, went up to try for an interception. POST PHOTOS/JIM PHILLIPS
