Dallas wins one © in the trenches Staff report KINGSTON — The unsung heroes carried the day for Dal- las Oct. 10, as both the offen- sive and defensive lines stifled Wyoming Valley West, leading the Mountaineers to a 13-6 vic- tory that keeps them in the running for a playoff slot. On offense, quarterback Matt Kelly completed 11 of 14 pass- es for 124 yards and a touch- down. He was helped tremendously by the starting offensive line — guards Steve Wengen and Mar- ty Murray, tackles John McGeehan and Matt Daube and center Doug Zaruta. They allowed Kelly to be sacked just once and helped the Moun- taineers to an overwhelming advantage in time of posses- sion. “I had 12 seconds one time,” Kelly said. “It was all about the offensive line tonight. I had so much time to throw the ball.” The rest of the offense made big contributions as well. Six backs had carries in the first half. The Mounts played with- out leading rusher Doug Har- ris, who didn’t play for discipli- nary reasons. And four re- ceivers had at least one recep- tion. “He (Kelly) doesn’t care who he throws it to,” Dallas coach Ted Jackson said. Dallas ran 31 plays to Valley West's 14 as the Mountaineers led 7-6 at halftime. “It’s very difficult to get into a rhythm when youre on de- fense the whole time,” WVW coach Eddie Michaels said. “I'm at a loss for words.” On defense, Dallas limited Valley West to 94 total yards and five first downs. Matt Bro- kenshire had an interception and Adam Schoonover recov- ered a fumble. “We're thrilled to have our defense play like that,” Jackson said. “That’s the best our de- fense has played all year.” Valley West got its only points after a Dallas turnover at the Mounts’ 25-yard line. An- drew Stambaugh capped the three-play drive with a 5-yard touchdown run to give the left in the first quarter. Dallas responded with a 1 play, 70-yard drive that was capped by a Buddy Kocher 4- yard touchdown run to give the Mounts a 7-6 lead on the first play of the second quarter. Dallas extended the lead to 13-6 when Kelly threw a 33- yard touchdown pass to Nick Samanas, who took a screen pass and rumbled untouched to the end zone to cap a seven- minute drive. Dallas (4-1) remained alive for the District 2 Class 3A play- offs with the win. The Mounts close with Tunkhannock (Oct. 17), Berwick (Oct. 25) and Lake-Lehman (Oct. 31). “We proved tonight we can play in the big game,” Kelly said. “We knew it was a big game.” Spartans a 6-0 lead with ® GOH teacher inducted into Hall of Fame Deborah Wysocki, who began teaching at Gate of Heaven School Dallas in 1983, will be inducted into the Plains Sports H of Fame on Sunday evening, October 19, at the Plains Americ Legion.
