She is such an unselfish player,” Lloyd said of Foltz. “I just had to be there to put it with seconds left » 1. After getting a perfect pass from Foltz, Lloyd did her part, scoring with just 11 seconds left in sudden-victory overtime, lifting Wyoming Seminary to a 1-0 vic- tory over Lake-Lehman in Wyoming Val- ley Conference field hockey on Monday. Lehman (11-1 overall, 7-1 Class 2A) had entered the game as the only unde- feated team in the league. Now Crest- wood (11-1, 8-0) is in first in the 2A ranks, with Lehman, Wyoming Semi- nary (12-1, 8-1) and Lackawanna Trail (10-2, 7-1) right behind. Lehman was at less than its best in a rematch of last year’s District 2 and PIAA state 2A..championship games. During pre-game warm-ups, senior cen- ter halfback Megan DeCesaris was hit in the head with a ball and had to be taken to the hospital for stitches. DeCe- saris was back on the bench in time to cheer for her teammates in overtime, but her absence from the field during “ the entire game forced Lehman to juggle @ its lineup. “I know our kids can play a better game,” Lehman coach Jean Lipski said. “The kids were mentally knocked off their game when Megan got hurt, and then we had to start switching posi- tions.” Even so, first half and it hit the goalpost. Lehman came within a whisker of pulling out a tie, and could have won the game. Tracey Hudak had a great game in goal for the Black Knights, making seven saves, all of them on quality shots. Lehman had only two shots on goal in the game, but one came from Ryan Hoover late in the Sam Post Correspondent Fortunately, for both the Dallas and Lake-Lehman soccer teams, the playoffs are a given.

Bolton sparks Dallas in romp over Crestwood By DAVE KONOPKI Special to The Dallas Post ‘Jon had a great ~ game on both sides of the ball.” Ted Jackson Dallas coach WRIGHT TWP. — Jon Bar- bose had a memorable game Saturday afternoon. The Dal- las senior scored his first touchdown of the season and helped lead a Mountaineer defense that allowed just 18 total yards and created six turnovers. His special teams play pro- vided an emotional lift for his teammates just seconds into the game. Barbose returned the open- ing kickoff 90 yards for a touchdown as Dallas spoiled Crestwood’s homecoming fes- tivities with a 56-0 rout in a Wyoming Valley Conference Division 2 game. The Moun- taineers improve to 4-2 over- all and 3-1 in the division, while the Comets fall to 1-5 and 0-3. “It was a great run. Jon got some blocks and he showed a lot of speed,” said Dallas head coach Ted Jackson of the game's first play. “Jon had a great game on both sides of the ball. He had a couple of nice runs, he blocked real well and he gave us a lift ear- ly. Jon played a very good game today. I'm happy for him.” With his team coming off a loss and a short week of prac- tice — Dallas lost to Pittston on Monday afternoon — Bar- bose was hoping to give his team a spark early in the game. “We had some good prac- tices, but we didn't have as much enthusiasm as we should have coming into the See DALLAS, pg 11
