PAGE 10 Tue DALLAS POST SUNDAY, OCTOBER 16, 2011! Black Knights game plan works perfectly Lehman gets victory over Northwest before Homecoming crowd. The Black Knights execut- ed their game plan to per- fect, running the first 19 plays, chewing eight minutes off the clock and holding a two touchdown lead before their opponents even tou- ched the ball en route to de- feating Northwest, 35-7, Sat- urday afternoon at home be- fore a 2011 Homecoming crowd. Lehman scored the first 28 points of the game and had 14 first downs to Northwest’s two in the first half. Lake- Lehman offense racked up 333 yards in the first half while its defense limited the Rangers to 31 yards. The Black Knights faced a lot of short yardage situa- tions, covering 6-of-11 third downs and an impressive 4- for-4 fourth downs. Senior Nick Shelley might have had the biggest game of all the backs, scoring on a 19- yard run around the right side and a 3-yard plunge in a four-minute span of the sec- ond quarter — the last touch- down pushing the score to a lopsided 28-0. Dustin Jones had three bruising carries and a 19- yard reception in the game’s first drive which ended on his 2-yard touchdown. Junior Brent Hizny reco- vered an onside kick after the score and quarterback Jared Novitski ran a bootleg to the right for a 19-yard touchdown and a 14-0 lead. Northwest opened the sec- ond half with a 66-yard kick- off return by Tony Politz to the Back Knights’ 11. After a 5-yard run by Politz, Austin Mazonkey punched in a 4- yard score on a fourth-down play. Lake-Lehman needed just six plays after the Rangers’ score to answer, with Brady Butler running a sweep to the right for an 8-yard touch- down.

HUGE win for Mountaineers Victory against Valley West leaves Dallas as only unbeaten conference team. Dallas defender Keifer Rog- ers made the initial hit on Wyoming Valley West quarter- back Eugene Lewis and his Mountaineer teammates joined in to stop a 2-point con- version run with 1:04 play, pre- serving Dallas’ 28-27 victory Saturday afternoon in a Wyom- ing Valley conference interdivi- sional game. The win left Dallas (6-0) as the lone WVC unbeaten while Valley West fell to 5-1. The Spartans cut Dallas’ lead to 28-21 at 5:51 of the fourth quarter on a 2-yard run by Lewis. Then, after forcing Dallas to punt on its next pos- session, Lewis returned the ball 34 yards to the Valley West 48-yard line. Only Shane Dunn’s shoestring tackle pre- vented the Penn State recruit from scoring. ~ Eight plays later, Valley West faced a fourth-and-12 from the Dallas 24. Lewis dropped back, evaded blitzing linebacker Jim Roccograndi and launched the ball into a group of three re- ceivers and three defenders. Wideout Lucky Williams emerged with a TD catch, mov-- ing the Spartans within 28-27 with 1:04 to play. Then came the decision to go for a 2-point try instead of an extra point.

Lewis rolled right with the option to run or throw. With the latter unavailable, he made a dish for the pylon but Rogers wrapped him around the shins and several other Mountain- eers jumped aboard. Valley West tried an onside kick but touched the ball be- 1 fore it went 10 yards and Dallas : ran out the clock. The Spartans were also ham-- pered by the loss of standout; running back Tashawn Bunch: who injured his shoulder in the first quarter. Lewis finished with 163! yards on 34 carries. Lydon starts surge and follows to lead Mounts’ B TEAM Dallas 28 Plymouth 6 The Dallas Junior Mounts B team defeated the Plymouth Shawnee Indians, 28-6, to im- prove to 5-1 on the season. Joshua Lydon started the scoring on the opening drive of the game by breaking a long run up the middle for a touchdown. Jerry Ogurkis followed with a touchdown plunge later in the first quarter. Before the close of the first half, Dalton Simpson punched one in, followed by a successful 2-point run by Drew Patton. Ste- phen Newell closed out the scor- ing for Dallas when he broke free around the corner and found the end zone on a long run. Brody Strickland and Ethan Mooney anchored the defensive line and Blaine Rex and Blake Chopyak provided support from the secondary, keeping Ply- mouth from mounting a charge. Matt Wrubel and Tom Marso- la came up with big plays on both sides of the ball for Dallas. D TEAM Dallas 38 Plymouth 6 The Dallas Junior Mounts re- mained unbeaten on the year at 6-0 with a convincing 38-6 victo- ry over the Plymouth Indians. Dallas used an opportunistic defense, turning two fumble re- coveries by Colby Kleintob and Mitchell Burgess into eventual scores. The Junior Mounts’ defense really stepped it up, holding the Indians to one score. The defen- sive line of Nick Spencer, Colby Kleintob, Brady Eggleston, Ryan Cuba and Pete Federici and line- backers Mark Karcutskie and Ogurkis victory Gavin Adamski penetrated the line and made several tackles for losses in the Plymouth back- field. Matt Esposito was exception- al at cornerback, defeating blocks and making solo tackles for minimal gains. The rest of the defensive backfield of Mitch- ell Burgess, Lucas Shultz, Ayden Berndt and Jared Adamski spent their time roaming the field making plays. Joe “Missle” Peters played de- fense in the second half and had an impressive showing playing a couple different positions and made plays in each. The Junior Mounts’ offense was productive, scoring 38 points. Jared Adamski and Ay- den Berndt were the workhorses with two TDs each. Parker Bol- esta capped the scoring with a bruising 28yard TD run See MOUNTS, Page 11 DHS HOCKEY TEAM SPONSORS PASTA DINNER The Dallas High School field hockey team will host a pasta dinner from 4 to 7 p.m. on Wednes- - day, Oct.19 at the Dallas Middle School cafeteria.
