10 Dallas Post Dallas, PA Thursday, October 24, 2002 Mounts crush Tunkhannock in tuneup for key game at Berwick By DAN PODEHL Special to The Dallas Post TUNKHANNOCK — The Dal- las Mountaineers kept their dis- trict postseason hopes alive Fri- day night by defeating Tunkhan- nock, 35-0, in a Wyoming Valley Conference non-divisional game. The Mountaineers moved the ball well. Dallas senior quarter- back Ryan Gryskevicz threw for 162 yards, going 14-of-24. Run- ning back Ryan Bolton and full- back Chris Hayes combined for 89 yards on the ground. Dallas (5-3) looked sharp, coming off a 25-7 loss on Mon- day to Wyoming Valley West. The Mountaineer defense held Tunkhannock (2-6) to 114 yards. : “Sometimes a short week is good after you play poorly,” said Ted Jackson, Dallas head coahc, whose team needs to win its fi- nal games against Berwick and Lake-Lehman, as well as receive some help to make districts. “It gets the next positive thing here in a hurry and I thought our kids responded well.” Jackson also was thrilled with his squad's defensive perfor- mance. “They're a good football team to shut out,” Jackson said. “They can throw the ball and (Tunkhannock) has played everyone tough.” Dallas got things going on its first drive after forcing the Tigers to go three-and-out on their first possession. On a third-and-25 from the Tiger 35-yard line, Gryskevicz dropped back and fired a perfect spiral to 6-foot-4 220-pound wide receiver Mike Racoski, who caught the pass in the back of the end zone for a 7-0 lead with 7:19 remaining in the quarter. The Mountaineers didn't wait long to add to their lead, as they forced Tunkhannock to go three-and-out again on its next possession. On the punt, Bolton fielded the ball at his 45 and used a wall of blockers down the left sideline for a 55-yard punt return touchdown and a 14-0, Dallas lead with 5:32 left in the first. Dallas added another score with 3:30 remaining before half when Gryskevicz connected with freshman receiver Mike Race in the left side of the end zone for a 14-yard score and a 21-0 lead. The Mountaineers extended their lead on the first possession of the second half as they marched 69 yards on 11 plays. The drive was capped by a Hayes 5-yard run for a 28-0 cushion with 7:51 remaining in the third. Dallas scored its final touch- down of the game on an end around reverse, which saw re- ceiver Jon Barbose score from 22-yards out, thanks to a key block thrown down field by line- man Marty Murray.

After finishing the first half with 137 yards on 14 carries, the Lake-Lehman senior wanted to achieve the milestone in a big way. “I wanted to reach it with one big play,” said Harris, who car- ried the ball from his own 10- yard line to the GAR 35 to reach the mark in the third quarter. “My goal at the beginning of the season was to get over 1,000 yards. I was able to accomplish my goal because of everyone that believes in me.” Despite his size. “I hear about it every day,” said Harris, who finished with 205 yards despite not playing in the fourth quarter. “It doesn’t matter and it doesn’t bother me. I know how hard I work. But all of my success goes te our coaches and the offensive line.” After not scoring in the first quarter, the Black Knights scored three times in the second quarter to take a 20-0 halftime lead. Quarterback Josh Cragle, who finished with two rushing touchdowns and one passing score, pushed his way in from 1 yard out and threw a 10-yard scoring pass to Phil Kasper. in the period. Senior quarterback Brian Cornia, one of 17 seniors playing in their final home game, also scored on a l-yard run. Lehman broke open the game in the third quarter, with Harris all season and they » scoring on a 5-yard run and Ryan Mully returning an inter- ception 54 yards for a touch- down. Ryan wasn’t the only Mully to reach the end zone. His brother, Mike, scored on a 3-yard run in the final quarter. GAR tailback Justin Kennedy, making his first start, led the Grenadiers with 46 yards on 17 carries. Junior quarterback Sam Jefferson added 44 yards on 14 carries. Junior defensive back Mark Wojtowicz had an inter- ception to stop a Black Knight drive late in the second quarter. It was a memorable game for Lake-Lehman coach Bob Lan- gan, who was an assistant coach with the Black Knights for 16 years before taking over the program two years ago. “This was an incredible night,” said Langan. “This is as nice a complex as you can find in Northeast Pennsylvania. I'm re- ally proud of our kids. They've been playing hard all season and they never quit. I can’t say enough nice things about these players.” This article appeared in origi- nal form in the Times Leader. oF de i pe The Back Mountain Xtreme took second place in their U-12 girls bracket at the Western Lehigh Women's 4 Game Fall Festival on Columbus Day Weekend in Lehigh County.

The winner of that contest was scheduled to play Wyoming Seminary at 2:30 p.m. Friday at Betzler Fields in Wilkes-Barre Township for the ti- tle. The district semifinals will be played Monday, with the champi- onship game set for Wednesday, Oct. 30, creating the possibility that the Black Knights will play four rugged games in the span of eight days. “That is going to help us,” said Lehman forward Meredith Ed- wards, who had a goal and two assists on Monday. “It'll be tough playing so many good teams in a row, but when we go into states, which I hope we do, we'll be used to it and we know we can do it.” The state playoffs start Nov. 5. Seminary was last year’s 2A state champ, and Lehman was run- ner-up. “It is a very challenging week,” Lipski said of her team’s upcom- ing schedule, “but our kids are up to it.” Crestwood, which entered the game unbeaten in 2A competi- tion, looked as if it would win the title outright after dominating the first half, and then grabbing a 1- 0 lead on a goal by Jess Lawton at 4:19 of the second half. The Black Knights started to seize control when Amy Ruda scored off an assist from Ed- wards just one minute after the Comets had taken the lead. “Were a slow-starting team sometimes,” Edwards said. “Be- ing down, it finally hit us that we could lose this game. We got real- ly psyched and fed off one anoth- er.” Allison Boris scored the first of two goals when she deflected in a free hit by Carla Champi at 8:20. Boris made it 3-1 off a feed from Edwards at 9:56, giving Lehman three goals in a span of just un- der five minutes. “Once they scored, we knew we had to turn it on,” Boris said. “We didn’t want to keep playing defense. We had to stay strong on offense.” Edwards finished the scoring with a rebound of Ruda’s shot at 18:02. “That first goal was a real adreneline rush,” Edwards said. “We kept going from there.” Pee Wee A splits pair@ on the road The Pocono Pirates Pee Wee A team started out last week- end slow, but turned on their speed and scoring to win 9-4.
