1 PAGE 10 Tue DALLAS POST SUNDAY, DECEMBER 27, 2009 SPOrts Five pins lead Black Knights to grappling victory The Dallas High School wres- tling team used five pins — four of them coming in the first period - along with two forfeit wins and a technical fall to post a convincing 47-24 win against Lake-Lehman in a Wyoming Valley Conference interdivisional wrestling meet. It was just the second win by the Mountaineers in the past 24 years against the Black Knights. Dallas broke a 20-year drought with a victory against its Back Mountain rival in 2005. Two of the best 189-pounders in District 2 — Lake-Lehman’s Shane Stark and Adam Goerin- ger of Dallas — started things off in front of the large crowd with the first match of the night. Stark, who defeated Goeringer for the District 2 Class 2A cham- pionship last year in the 171- pound weight class, used a pair of takedowns and an escape to post a 5-0 win in last night's match. Following the first match, it was almost all Dallas. The Moun- taineers won five of the next six matches, including three pins, a forfeit and a technical fall, to take a 29-9 lead. Jacob Hilstolsky got Dallas go- ing with a 52-second pin in the 215-pound match and two match- es later, junior Pat Perez cruised to a 15-0 technical fall victory. Following a forfeit win, the Mountaineers received back-to- back pins by sophomore Billy Dixon and junior Brian DeLuca to make it 29-9. If it wasn’t for a comeback ef- fort by Lake-Lehman senior Greg Josuweit in an entertaining match at 285, it could have been even worse for the Black Knights. Dallas junior Jeremy Roberts caught Josuweit in a headlock twice in the first two periods and was within inches of posting a fall. But the Lake-Lehman senior returned the favor in the third pe- riod, getting Roberts in a head- lock and pinning him in 4:42. Sophomore Jake Winters post- ed a major decision win for Lake- Lehman at 135 before the Black Knights forfeited the 140-pound match. Dallas junior Curtis Man- ganella followed with a pin in 1:05 at 145 to give the Mountaineers a convincing 41-13 lead. Sophomore Nick Shelley and senior Ethan Shaw looked im- pressive at 152 and 160 pounds, respectively. Shelley cruised to a 16-0 technical fall victory while Shaw posted a second-period pin. Dallas 171-pound sophomore Dominic Chopka, who was unde- feated last year in junior high ac- tion, posted a pin in 1:05 to close the door on Lake-Lehman. Zach Macosky, of Dallas, tangles with Lake-Lehman's Jake Win- tersin the 135-pound class.
