Coach Rob Wilson has coached at Lake-Lehman High School for four years. This season, he says he’s pleased and excited because his squad of 19 players has more depth than ever before. “There are 10 players who will see a lot of game time,” Wilson says. “We have a nice rotation where any of the girls can be used in any combina- tion on the floor and we won't lose any- thing.” Of the 10, seven are returning se- niors and there is one junior, one sophomore and one freshman. All-star point guard Lisa Wasser has been a starter for the team for three years and she, center Jackie Paul and forward Casey Horvath, bring great leadership to the squad. Rounding out the five starters are guards Megan DeCesaris and Tracey Hudak. Guard Stephanie Frank and forward Kim Jones are also seniors who will see plenty of playing time. Liz Martin, a ju- nior guard, and Sheree Horvath, a freshman forward, will also play quite a bit. Sophomore point guard Jody Tripler will back up Wasser. “The kids are excited about coming “The kids are excited about coming back and seeing what we can do this year.” Rob Wilson Lake-Lehman coach back and seeing what we can do this year,” Wilson said. Last season Lehman finished as run- ners up in AAA districts and made it to inter-district play for the first time since 1984. “We don't really set goals as far as number of wins or league champi- onships,” says Wilson. “But more on improving every game.” Like his Lake-Lehman counterpart, Joe Noon is beginning his fourth year as the Dallas varsity coach. Noon says he and his players have been looking forward to the start of the season and will have a busy first week playing three games just out of the gate. There are 23 girls out for the team this sea- son and of that number seven are re- turners. Team captains Kelly Brzozowski and Ashleigh King are both seniors and See GIRLS PREVIEW, pg 12 Lake-Lehman Jr. High grapplers win third place at Pittston Duals Lake-Lehman won three out of four dual meets Saturday on their way to a third place finish in the Pittston Area Invitational Dual Meet Tournament. The team won victories over Wallenpau- pack, Pittston, and Delaware Valley while dropping a contest against Hugh- esville. Chris Barbacci (4-0), Nathan Walsh (4-0), Justin Schell (4-0), and Joe Kle- munes (3-0) pinned each opponent they faced while Donovan White (4-0), Bran- don Higgins (4-0) and Josh Arnold (4-0) also ended the day with undefeated records. “The key was that our kids really went after it,” said Black Knights coach Scott Carter. “Out.of the 59 individual bouts we wrestled today we came away with 29 pins. At the same time our kids refused to be pinned. That's a winning Slocum keeps busy in goal = To) @-Too) d=T- To To Ji 4 combination.” Carter also cited contributions from some of the less experienced members of the team, particularly Walsh, Jordan Emerson (1-3), Mike Lipski (2-2), Adam Shefler (2-2), and Stanley Brudnicki (1- 3). “We weren't sure what to expect from these guys and they each came up big in different matches and, ultimate- ly, provided the margins for victory. We couldn't be more pleased with where the team is at this point in the season.” Wyoming Valley West won the tour- nament championship with a victory over runner-up Hughesville in the final round. Lake-Lehman will have the op- portunity to face these teams in dual meets on January 9 and December 14, respectively. Drew Slocum stopped 62 shots in goal over three games with the Pocono Pirates Bantam A ice hockey team. The Pirates beat the Hudson Valley Polar Bears 5-3 and the Clarkston (NY) Capital 3-0 before losing to Clarkston 6-5 in the champi- onship game of the Thanksgiving Shoot Out, held at the Ice Box in Pittston. Under-21 boaters will need training The state’s first-ever boater education requirement is on its way to the Gover- nor for enactment following overwhelm- ingly legislative approval. The measure, authored by State Sen. Richard A. Kasunic (D-Fayette), would establish a boater education require- ment before boaters 21 years of age or younger, could operate a motorboat. “Better boater knowledge means bet- ter waterway safety,” Kasunic said. The bill would require people born af- ter January 1, 1982, to complete a boating safety course and have a boat- ing safety certificate before running their boats on Pennsylvania waters. The new requirement would take effect on January 1, 2003. : The bill would exempt people who al- ready hold safety certificates, landown- ers operating boats on their own prop- erty, people temporarily visiting Penn- sylvania and those who have boats with engines of 25 horsepower or less. Peter A. Colangelo, Executive Director of the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission, thanked Kasunic for his hard work and perseverance. “Senator Kasunic introduced similar legislation at least three times before,” said Colangelo. “Those bills passed in one house of the General Assembly, but never won final approval. To his credit, Senator Kasunic just would not give up his efforts to make Pennsylvania water- ways safer.” FOR THE DALLAS POST/PETE G. WILCOX Mounts fall to Meyers DALLAS — Meyers jumped out to a 23-8 lead after one quarter and eased past Dallas, 65-48, Saturday in high school boys exhibition basketball.
