Dallas defense barricades Wallenpaupack With a strong showing by the de- fense, Dallas kept Wallenpaupack from scoring until the fourth quarter and also forced three interceptions. A domi- nating Dallas offense was led by quar- terback Chuck Suppon who was 12 of 22 for 174 yards and tailback Jeremy Harris who scored all three Dallas touchdowns and had 139 yards rush- ing and 78 yards receiving. In the first quarter, Harris rushed in from 18 yards out. The extra point at- tempt failed. In the second quarter, Harris ran in from 14 yards out fol- lowed by a successful two-point conver- sion, resulting in a 14-0 half time lead. The final Dallas touchdown came in the third quarter with a 34-yard pass from Suppon to Harris. After another successful two-point conversion, the Mountaineers were looking for a shutout, having a 22-0 third quarter lead. In the fourth quarter, however, Wallenpaupack scored a touchdown and completed a two-point conversion, resulting in a 22-8 final score. Dallas moves to 4-1 overall and re- mains 1-1 in their division. Hunter wins battle of wits with big buck By RONALD BARTIZEK Post Staff DALLAS - After years of patience, Jerry Ogurkis Jr. fi- nally had a chance to bag the big buck that had roamed around the Overbrook Road area. The only problem was, the deer had bedded down with a tree directly be- tween it and the blind Ogurkis sat in the afternoon of October 1, and it didn’t seem to be in a hurry to move. Frustrated, Ogurkis reached in his pack and pulled out an apple that was stashed as a snack. Instead of taking a bite, he tossed the fruit in the deer’s direction, but the big buck lay motionless. Next, Ogurkis threw a can of scent Killer, with the same result. By now he was convinced the buck wasn't going to move until morning unless something more dramatic happened. Ogurkis heaved a water bottle in the deer’s direction, but even that didn’t rouse his quarry, at least immedi- ately. After a few minutes, though, the deer’s curiosity got the better of him, and he stood up, walked to the bottle and took a sniff. He also took an arrow from Ogurkis’s bow. : “We've been hunting him for six years,” said Jerry Ogurkis Sr., describing the magnificent animal that had been spotted from Huntsville dam to Newberry Estate over that time. He had spotted the buck recently at the top of the hill behind his home. FS POST PHOTO/RON BARTIZEK Jerry Ogurkis Jr., left, bagged this 14-point beauty Oct. 1 off Overbrook Rd. in Dallas. People in the area had spotted the buck for several years, but no one had been able to catch up to it until See HUNTER, pg 10 Monday.

For more Black Knights run out of gas | The second and fourth quarters both began as a tie, but the Black Knights ran out of steam at the end and were unable to answer three Williamsport touchdowns in the final quarter. In’ the first quarter, Zach Ragukas ran in from one yard out followed by a successful extra point kick, resulting in 7-7 first quarter tie. The Black Knights scored in the second on a 30-yard pass from Josh Kuwaye to Jim Mahon. The two-point conversion attempt failed, and the second quarter ended with Lehman trailing 28-13. Lehman came back to tie the game in the third with two touchdowns. The first came when Kuwaye scored on a 5- yard run. Then on the next possession, the Black Knights tied the game at 28 when a 28-yard run by Kuwaye was fol- lowed by a quarterback sneak into the end zone. Lehman had an opportunity to score in the fourth quarter after a fumble re- covery by linebacker Dave Strenfel. Kuwaye ran for 31 yards, taking the ball to the 9 yard line, but the Black Knights could not capitalize, and Williamsport caught fire to hand Lehman a 49-28 defeat.
