Earlier in the year, Berwick had multiple team-crippling injuries that hindered their ability to win. Their quarterback was out for many of the games and they lost other key players. “It’s just our lack that they're all getting healthy,” said Jackson, laughing. “We have to play our best game if we want to beat them.” Jackson says his squad is looking forward to playing the Bulldogs again. Dallas played Berwick in last year’s playoffs, and almost won. The Moun- taineers were up 14-0, but the Bulldogs bounced back. “They beat us by one,” said the coach. Coach Jackson is a bit concerned about playing in Berwick, SPORTS ROUNDUP WYOMING — Will Gagliardi scored with four minutes left in overtime as Wyoming Seminary nipped Dallas.

Sam Oschman had six service points and 11 assists, and Kay- lene Katorkas had five kills and saying, “We're going into a hostile envi- ronment and can’t be intimidated by their size.” Jackson feels that putting pressure on the Bulldogs’ newly re- turned quarterback is also a key issue. “We played all of our games really tough,” says Jackson. “But we played really great teams.” Although Dallas has been unable to win all of the tough games they've played this season, the coach does mention that they defeated Hanover. As far as the Bulldogs go, there are 70 kids on the team compared to 35 for the Mounts. Plus, Jackson says, “They're so much bigger and more physical.” Once again, as Jackson feels is usu- al, Berwick will be the measuring stick for everyone in the valley. Early on, Pittston was doing really well, but then Berwick beat them. For a while, Hazle- ton was everyone's best bet, but the Bulldogs barked Hazleton down as well. The Lake-Lehman Black Knights soc- cer team beat rival Dallas 2-1 Friday night, in the first event held under the new lights at Edward Edwards Stadium on the Lehman campus.

POST PHOTOS/JIM PHILLIPS “The four games they've [Berwick] lost,” says Jackson. “could've easily been four wins.” When these two teams do meet Fri- day night, both will be hungry for the win. Berwick is looking to build up some momentum for the Eastern Con- ference playoffs. Dallas, on the other hand, will need to win to keep playoff hopes alive. “If we lose another game,” said the coach, “we're probably out of districts. But we could make Eastern Conference playoffs.” Before either of those questions can be answered though, it's off to the “measuring stick” that is the Berwick Bulldogs. Lehman tops Crestwood, fighting for playoff spot By STEVE SEMBRAT Special to The Dallas Post LEHMAN TWP. — Lake-Lehman was outplayed for the first 35 minutes and fell behind Crestwood, but stormed back with four goals to win 4-1 and create a logjam atop the Wyoming Val- ley Conference Class 2A field hockey standings. “We had to have a win,” Lehman coach Jean Lipski said. “If it took a goal scored against us to get us going, -T'll take it. Our kids knew they had to pick up their game to have the week that we need to have.” Lehman (15-1 vs. all WVC teams, 11- 1 in Class 2A) finished tied with Crest- wood (15-2, 11-1) and Wyoming Semi- nary (16-1, 11-1) for first in the divi- sion.
