Camp allows youths to learn the game
The Lake-Lehman School Dis-
trict held its annual youth boys
basketball camp recently.
Jared James organized the
camp as his senior project with
the help of his varsity coach Brian
Cutter and members of the varsi-
ty basketball team, including
Adam Dizbon, Cody Paraschak,
Ben Pilch, Tyler Bonner, Bill Hill-
man, Mike Simeon and Kyle
James.
The camp ran from July 16-20
and was attended by 40 youths.
This year’s camp saw a wide va-
riety of both boys and girls from
the Lake-Lehman and Dallas
school districts whose ages rang-
ed from 8 to 13. They were in-
structed on new stretches, drills,
movies and fundamentals of the
game and were all able to see im-
provement in their skills
throughout the week.
The camp also saw guest ap-
pearances from Trevor Woodruff,
head basketball coach at Miser-
icordia University, and John Sze-
la, director of Proshot Basketball
Camp, who both worked with the
young cagers on shooting and
ball handling drills.
Each participant received an
NBA t-shirt and Lake-Lehman
hand towel. Others prizes, such
as basketballs, arm sleeves and
medals, were distributed to the
winners at the end of the camp.
The camp concluded with a pizza
party in the cafeteria for every-
one who attended.
All monies raised will help sup-
port the Lake-Lehman basketball
program.

Soggy loss for Dallas §
The violent wind blew the heavy
rain nearly sideways at times at
Mountaineer Stadium last Satur-
day afternoon while fans held tight-
ly to umbrellas, some of which blew
inside out when greeted with big-
gest gusts.
First-year Dallas football coach
Bob Zaruta cited reasons other
than the weather for this team’s
28-7 loss to Abington Heights —
mistakes and missed opportunities.
One big mistake came on the en-
suing kickoff after Dallas took a 7-0
lead on a 31-yard touchdown pass
from Ryan Zapoticky to Darik John-
n at 2:56 of the first quarter.
Another came late in the third
quarter when Abington receiver
J.C. Show got past the Dallas sec-
ondary, hauling in a 55-yard touch-
down pass for a 21-7 lead.
The Mountaineers pulled off a
successful fake punt after the sec-
ond Abington fumble - successful
until the Comets recovered a fum-
ble at the end of the run.
Abington scored its last touch-
down with 7:38 left in the fourth
quarter when the Comets took ad-
vantage of a short punt and Dallas’
inability to sniff out a screen pass.
on a fourth-and-7 on the 11-play, 32-
yard drive.
Dallas football fans weather the storm while watching a game against Abington Heights.
