Send your sports reports by thepost@leader.net defensive Statistically speaking, a fairly even matchup Going into the last two weeks of the regular season, the Dallas and Lake-Lehman foot- ball teams stacked up pretty well against each other on paper. Dallas quarterback Matt Kelly and Lake-Lehman quar- terback Ryan Arcangeli, are ranked first and second, respec- tively, in Division 2A play. Kelly had a slight advantage on touchdown passes with 15 on the season and a quarterback rating of 162.99, but Arcangeli’s numbers were in the same neighborhood, with 1195 yards passing to Kelly's 1173, 11 touchdowns, and a 141.73 quar- terback rating. The Mountaineers have an edge in the running attack, with Doug Harris averaging 5.5 yards per carry for 733 yards with 12 touchdowns. He had more than double the carries of Lehman’s leading rusher, Greg Pimm, 133 to Pimm’s 61 rushes for 343 yards. Dallas’ Nick Samanas also poses a running threat, averaging 7.8 yards a carry on 26 attempts. Arcangeli has 204 yards on 88 carries, an average of 2.3 yards per carry. Both teams, however, have a dangerous receiving corps, with Chris Boyle leading Division 2A with 41 receptions for 477 yards and three touch- downs for the Black Knights. Teammate Rick Shoefield has 17 receptions for 463 yards, an average of 27.2 yards per catch, and seven touchdowns. The Mountaineers have the second and third-ranked receivers in the division, Samanas and Mike Race, who both average 14.7 yards per catch. Samanas has caught 27 passes for 398 yards and three touchdowns and Race 26 for 382, with nine touchdown receptions. Derek Shurmanek may also play a role in the passing game for Lehman, averaging 7.4 yards a catch with a touchdown. Although both teams have shown they can put points on the board, the Mountaineers have more than double the touchdowns scored as Lehman. Dallas’ lead scorers, Race, Harris and Kelly had combined for 26 touchdowns through the first eight games, while Shoefield and Pimm had com- bined for 12. Race also doubles as kicker for the Mountaineers, and he has put through 15 extra points and three field goals so far for a total of 78 points. Dallas also leads Lehman in total offensive yards per game, 351.9 to 266.3 and has allowed only 207 total yards on defense to Lehman's 336.8. — Paul Lazar OLD SHOE (continued from page 7) night. It makes the game even more fun to play against someone that you know.” Pimm, a 5-10, 220 pound tackle/fullback, echoed Daube’s feelings. “We got know each through scout- ing and track and field,” said Pimm. “I think the rivalry is a good thing for the area. It’s an opportunity to prove yourself as an individual and a team.” This year’s game has special meaning to Daube and Pimm 55 years of Old There have been 55 Old Shoe Games, starting in 1948, when three Back Mountain high schools played. The tro- phy originally was presented to the team with the best record. Only later, particularly after school consolidation, did a single game determine the holder of the Old Shoe trophy. There have been three ties, in 1956, 1982 and 1988. More than half the time, the losing team has not scored, and there was a streak of eight shutouts from 1989 to 1996. Three games have been decided by a single . point; 19583, 1977 and 1980. The largest winning margin was a 50-0 vic- tory by Dallas in 1972. In the 13 years during which three teams played, Dallas won only once. Since then, Dallas has won 33 times, Lehman nine.

We've had the Shoe for three years and we certainly don’t want to lose it as seniors.” Pimm and his classmates have already played their home finale and now must deal with playing their last game togeth- er. “We feel like we've been the part of something special this year,” he said. “We'd love to go out on a winning note, especial- ly against Dallas.” Shoe game scores 1951 1952 1953 1954 Dallas 20, Westmoreland 19 Westmoreland 19, Dallas 0 Lehman 21, Dallas 20 Lehman 12, Dallas 0 1955 Westmoreland 6, Dallas 0 1956 Tie, Lehman, Westmoreland and Dallas each suffered one loss against the other teams. 1957 Lehman 13, Dallas 6 1958 Lehman 26, Westmoreland 6 1959 Lehman 37, Westmoreland 0 1960 Westmoreland 20, Lehman 7 1961 Dallas 18, Lehman 7 1962 Dallas 14, Lehman 0 Dallas 19, Lehman 0 Dallas 18, Lehman 6 Dallas 31, Lehman 0 Dallas 35, Lehman 14 Lehman 25, Dallas 0 Lehman 23, Dallas 0 Lehman 28, Dallas 8 Dallas 24, Lehman 14 Dallas 45, Lehman 0 Dallas 50, Lehman 0 Dallas 34, Lehman 6 Dallas 12, Lehman 7 Dallas 15, Lehman 7 Dallas 13, Lehman 7 1977 1978 1979 1980 1981 1982 1983 1984 1985 1986 1987 1988 1989 1990 1991 1992 1993 1994 1995 1996 1997 1998 1999 2000 2001 2002 2003 Dallas 7, Lehman 6 Lehman 42, Dallas 14 Lehman 14, Dallas 7 Dallas 20, Lehman 19 Dallas 34, Lehman 6 Dallas 16, Lehman 16 Dallas 16, Lehman 0 Lehman 33, Dallas 0 Dallas 7, Lehman 0 Dallas 15, Lehman 2 Dallas 27, Lehman 0 Dallas 21, Lehman 21 Dallas 6, Lehman 0 Lehman 7, Dallas 0 Dallas 42, Lehman 0 Dallas 21, Lehman 0 Dallas 21, Lehman 0 Dallas 19, Lehman 0 Lehman 9, Dallas 0 Dallas 21, Lehman 0 Dallas 20, Lehman 12 Dallas 20, Lehman 0 Dallas 28, Lehman 7 Lehman 12, Dallas 7 Dallas 21, Lehman 14 Dallas 35, Lehman 0 Dallas 34, Lehman 7 Want to know who's playing what for whom?
