See ROUNDUP, pg 11 Black Knights give Wyoming Area a scare From staff reports LEHMAN TWP. — After falling behind 20-0, the Black Knights capitalized on Wyoming Area made mistakes and nearly pulled off the upset of the young Wyoming Valley Conference foot- ball season. With a long kick return for a touchdown called back for hold- ing, and a turnover on their own 28, the Warriors. allowed Lake- Lehman to hang around until the final play of the game. But a fourth quarter field goal by senior Rob Licata that gave Wyoming Area a two-score lead proved to be enough as it held of a late Black Knight rally and es- caped with a 23-21 victory. With just seconds left in the third quarter and a 20-6 lead, consecutive false start penalties forced Wyoming Area into a fourth-and-16 on its own 20. Se- nior Ryan Mully’s blocked punt led to a safety and cut the lead to 20-8 heading into the final quarter. On the first play of the ensu- ing possession, Marlon Baynard fumbled and Lehman's Matt Gemerling recovered the ball on the Warrior 28. Dave Harris — who led all rushers with 153 yards on 34 carries —ran for 25 yards in- cluding a 4-yard touchdown to pull the Black Knights within 20-14 with 7:43 left. Wyoming Area answered with a drive that drained almost six minutes from the clock. Joe Marianacci did the bulk of the work with 40 rushing yards be- fore Licata’s field goal — which banked off the left upright — gave the Warriors a 23-14 lead with 2:04 remaining. A 15-yard facemask penalty and a pass interference penalty helped Lehman quickly move down the field. And with just 17 ticks left, Harris scored on an- other 4-yard run and the Black Knights cut the lead to 23-21. Joe Maille then recovered the onside kick and Lehman had the ball on Wyoming Area’s 48 with 11 seconds remaining. But a sack by multiple Warrior defend- ers ended Lehman's hopes for a miracle comeback. Harris's first of three 4-yard touchdowns had cut the lead to 20-6 before the safety that end- ed the third quarter.
