Dallas (continued from page 9) tweaking their defense in the third quarter, switching to a tight man-to-man. Nanticoke struggled and didn't hit its first field goal until the one-minute mark. “He figured if we played close defense, they wouldn't be able to get the ball,” Dallas forward Rosalyn Wentko said. “He had me on Brace so she wouldn't be able to get the ball. He felt that was the best defense possible.” Wentko and fellow inside play- er Jackie Hardwick then went about combining for the third quarter’s first 10 points. “Jackie came out in the third quarter and took control of the game,” Noon said. Nanticoke recovered late in the quarter, then a pair of free throws by freshman Katlyn Mal- shefski pulled the Trojanettes within 37-33 with 7:39 to play in the game. Dallas, though, went on a quick burst highlight- ed by Ashleigh King's three- pointer to put the game out of reach. Wentko led all scorers with 16 points, followed by Hardwick with 15 and guard Shannon Thomas with 12. Dallas should keep pace with the division's top two teams at gp @ | least for one more game. The Mountaineers play an inexperi- enced Crestwood squad tomor- row, then travel to Hoban on Friday and host Lehman the fol- lowing Monday. “I've been looking to (Hoban) since I was a freshman,” said Wentko, one of five juniors in the starting lineup. “We played them once when I was a fresh- man in a summer league and they killed us. It was inexperi- ence on our part and they had" just come back from states, so it was a little rough.” This article appeared in origi- nal form in the Times Leader.

Last year we beat them twice during the regular season and we should have won at dis- tricts but they beat us.” The girls on the team are real- ly looking forward to the re- match with Lehman, for every one of them was present for last year’s playoff loss. “It will be a real exciting game,” says Noon. “Rob’s a good coach. His girls are taller than us but the kids are really looking to come and play.” Wilson knows full well that the Dallas girls always play bigger than they are. “We do have five girls who are 510” or taller with considerable playing time, but Dallas has two who are probably 58” or 5’9” and play like they're six foot.” Wilson doesn’t take the Back Mountain rivals lightly. “Our height is certainly an advantage but they [Dallas] are good. His inside girls are pretty tough.” As far as last year, Wilson simply says his girls played a Roundup (continued from page 9) lead Lake-Lehman. John Houssock (119), Andy Jo- Derek White (145), and Scott Arnold (275) also recorded pins for suweit (130), Kevin McHugh (215) Krasniak hit three 3-point shots.
