Dallas 16
Swoyersville 6
The Dallas Jr. Mounts C team
picked up a pair of wins the past
two weeks, beating Swoyersville,
16-6, and West Pittston, 14-6.
In the Swoyersville game, the
Jr. Mounts held an 8-6 lead going
into the fourth quarter. The
Swoyersville offense took the
ball inside the red zone where
the Dallas defense stiffened,
keeping the Sailors’ offense out
of the endzone with a goal line
stand, throwing Swoyersville
back four consecutive times.
The Dallas offense took over
and execufed a 99-yard drive,
capped off by a Brennan Eggles-
ton touchdown. The drive took
most of the time off the clock and
put the game out of reach for a
Swoyersville comeback.
Against West Pittston, the
stout Jr. Mounts defense once
again played exceptionally, giv-
ing up an early TD but nothing
afterward.
In the fourth quarter with the
clock running and the score tied
at 6-6, the Dallas offense went to
work, driving the ball into the
red zone. The Jr. Mounts came
through again with Jared Adam-
ski connecting with wideout De-
vin Richards for a touchdown
pass, putting the Dallas boys up,
12-6.
Adamski called his own num-
ber on the try for 2 and bulled his
way into the end zone for a 14-6
lead. With time running out, the
Rams switched quarterbacks but
the Dallas defense responded by
thwarting four sweeps. Dallas
took over on downs and ran out
the clock.
D TEAM
Dallas 24
West Pittston 6
The Dallas Jr.nior Mounts D
team added another win to the
2012 season by defeating the
West Pittston Rams, 24-6.
From the first possession of
the game, the offensive running
attack was solid with running
backs Gavin Adamski, Ryan Cu-
ba, Jace Chopyak and Mark Kar-
cutskie sharing ball carrying du-
ties.
The offensive line, consisting
of Nate Malarkey, Brady Rosen-
crans, Andrew Bednar, Nick Far-
rell, Dylan Geskey, Cody Kon-
nick and Lucas Tirpak opened
holes and blocked hard for the
running backs.
The defensive line, led by Joey
Peters, Colby Klinetob, Keith
Hughes, Luke Hajkowski and
Noah Moran was repeatedly in
the West Pittston backfield, forc-
ing two turnovers and holding
the Rams to just six points.
Defensive backs and lineback-
ers Mason Calvey, Myles Tirpak,
Gavin Adamski, Mark Karcut-
skie and Ryan Cuba kept the rest
of the Rams’ offense contained,
helping the Jr. Mounts improve
to a 5-2 record.
