Lehman wins field hockey matchup over Mountaineers By HEATHER B. JONES Post Staff LAKE-LEHMAN - Any sports competition which pits Lake- Lehman against Dallas is guar- anteed to be a high octane con- test, and field hockey is no ex- ception. Lake-Lehman played host to Dallas the afternoon of Sept. 22 for the rivalry matchup of the Lady Mountaineers vs. the Lady Black Knights. Lake-Lehman waisted no time in putting a point up on the scoreboard. At 1:34 in the game, a penalty stroke was called against Dallas, when first-year Dallas Goalie Rosalyn Wentko fell to the ground during an ear- ly Lehman offensive drive to the goal. The penalty was called be- cause Wentko touched the ball with her hand when she was down on the ground. Megan DeCesaris took the penalty shot for Lehman and scored the first point of the game. It was the second time this season Megan has been called upon to take a penalty stroke. She has scored both times. “You can never recreate that pressure. situation in practice,” said Jean Lipski, Lake-Lehman coach. “We were very pleased with how we played the first 10 to 15 minutes of the game,” Lipski said about her team, which Lehman’s Joelle Lussi makes a break away from Dallas’s defense.

But it didn't last long. Dallas’s defense was able to hold their own against the Lady Black Knights. “The Dallas defense was very good. They were solid and knew where to put the ball,” Lipski said. That was one of the chal- lenges her team faced when try- ing to score a second goal. “In the second half, we. came back strong,” said Nancy Shaw, Dallas coach, but it wasn’t enough. Shaw thought the penalty shot shook her young team a bit. Lake-Lehman’s second goal was scored by Amy Ruda with an assist by Joelle Lussi with 4:33 left in the game. “We lacked in the area of scor- ing this year,” Shaw said. Her team has been faced with that challenge all season. Lake-Lehman had 9 shots on goal and 7 penalty corners. Goalie Tracey Hudack had 5 saves. Dallas had 6 shots on goal and 4 penalty corners. Wentko had 3 saves. POST PHOTOS/HEATHER B. JONES trict Dallas’s Rachel Kukosky battles for the ball with Lehman’s Mered- ith Edwards. Dallas, PA ; Thursday, Seplember. 27. 2001 9 Dallas player, WVW victory reinstated By HEATHER B. JONES Post Staff DALLAS - It's a win-win situa- tion for the Dallas High School football team. The team will re- gain its first win of the season and a starting player. The District 2 PIAA committee has ruled that not only can Du- ane Short play for Moun- taineers, but that Dallas will re- tain its season opening win against Wyoming Valley West. Eligibility has been granted to Short for the entire school year, said Dr. Gilbert Griffiths, dis- superintendent. That means Short was eligible ac- cording to the PIAA rules to play in the Dallas - Wyoming Valley West game. Short was thought to be ineli- gible due to a PIAA semester rule. According to PIAA require- ments, students have eight se- mesters of athletic eligibility starting in ninth grade. Short has begun his ninth semester since entering ninth grade. Dallas appealed the eligibility requirement after it was brought to the district's attention by the Berwick football program. Dallas appealed to District 2 under the “situations beyond a students control” clause in the rule. “I think they acted in best in- terest of the boy and the school,” said Jack Wolensky, Dallas Athletic Director, regard- ing the PIAA decision. It was a learning experience for Wolensky. “We really have to be careful with all of our ath- letes,” he said. “We're proud of the fact our team hung in there and our coaching staff hung in there,” Wolensky said. Dallas’s overall season record now stands with 3 wins and 1 loss. They travel to Wallenpau- pack for a game Friday Hg AT golfers finish 1-2 in pre-districts The Wyoming Valley conference held its pre-district golf tournament at Edge wood in the Pines on September 17, 2001. One hundred and four of the confer- Op four finishers out of the 8 girls will advance to the district tournament to be held ors wn 2 at Scranton Municipal Golf Course. Two Back Mountain Elfred did Pennsylvania's 50th archery deer sea- son opens Sat., Sept. 29. In 2001, the regulatory stage heading into the fall archery deer season opener is structured somewhat similar to 2000's, but there are some differences. For instance, last year’s ‘private land’ antlerless licenses have been replaced by ‘unsold’ antlerless licenses. The pri- mary difference between the two license types is that the private lands restric- tion has been removed. A hunter can harvest antlerless deer on public or pri- vate lands with all antlerless licenses. Another change bowhunters will en- counter is that they will be sharing the woods with more deer hunters during their season, which runs from Sept. 29 to Nov. 10. Flintlock muzzleloader antlerless deer season will run from Oct.13-20. In addition, a new ‘special firearms antlerless season’ will run from Oct. 18- 20 for resident junior and senior license holders, persons who hold a ‘disabled person permit’ (to use a vehicle) and residents who are serving on active duty in the U.S. Armed Forces, as well as those who qualify for license and fee exceptions under section 2706. Non- resident juniors and those 65 years of age or older also may participate in this opportunity. All hunters must have a county-spe- cific antlerless license, as well as a gen- eral hunting license, to participate in either of the firearms seasons. Unlike last year, however, bowhunters may continue to hunt bucks during this season’s overlap with the firearms or flintlock seasons. GOH annual golf tournament The Gate of Heaven School Athletic Committee will be holding their Annual Golf Tournament on Fri., Oct. 5 at Four Seasons Golf Club, Exeter.
