“The kids just love it,” said
Pellegrino.
But the students weren’t the
only ones loving it.
Rocky Bonomo lit up Mrs.
Smigielski’s class with laughter
and energy during a friendly
game of Pictionary. His energy
and enthusiasm made the game
lively and had all the students
eager to play. Bonomo’s daugh-
ter Rebecca said it was “so fun”
to have her dad there.
Bonomo was happy to volun-
teer for Dads’ Day. He has four
children and when he heard he
could be involved at school, he
jumped right in. “It’s good to in-
corporate the parents, especial
ly the dads,” Bonomo said, “be-

DALLAS

a 51-6 rout of rival Lake-Leh-
man. Along the way, Dallas was
often dominant, posting shut-
outs of Pittston Area, Hazleton
Area and Tunkhannock.
Zaruta said the ingredients
for that success existed at the
beginning, but the coaches and
players needed to learn how to
win together.
The Mountaineers wound up
looking much different than the
unit outscored by a combined
106-35 in the first three games
against Wyoming Valley West,
Abington Heights and Berwick.
“We installed a new offense
and new defense and it takes
some time for that to start to
gel,” Zaruta said. “You think
you're doing OK as you go
through your summer practic-
es. But until you get into com-
petition, you really don’t know.
“It took us three games to put
that together and start looking
for ways to improve. You put
those things together and you
add the fact that we started off
with some very strong oppo-
nents.”
Veteran quarterback Ryan
Zapoticky eventually led
Wyoming Valley Conference
Class AAA quarterbacks in
passing, going 89-for-162 for
1,439 yards and 19 touchdowns
with just four interceptions. He
also ran for 494 yards and five
touchdowns.
Kris Roccograndi helped in
that process, rushing for 879
yards and 12 touchdowns while
finishing as one of four receiv-
ers in double figures in catches.
The two helped the Moun-
taineers finish 7-4, including
last weekend’s 28-7 loss at top-
seeded Berwick in the district
semifinals.
Jason Simonovich caught 26
passes for 565 yards and eight
touchdowns while Darik John-
son caught 24 passes for 401
yards and five scores while
Ryan Kozloski caught 15 for 185
yards and three scores.
Kozloski represented the
type of player Zaruta said he
will continue to seek to add to
the program.
A varsity wrestler and track
and field athlete with a back-
ground in soccer, Kozloski did
not play football until his se-
nior year. He started as a slot
receiver, as a cornerback who
intercepted two passes and as
the conference’s most produc-
tive kicker with three field
goals and 30 extra points.
“He came on as an impact
player,” said Zaruta, who fol-
lows the school’s other sports
teams and hopes to make his
program attractive to more ath-
success.”

Zaruta said the Mountaim™
eers have a strong group of se-
niors to replace, but have many
experienced players among
those who will form next year’s
senior class.
In addition to the sopho-
mores who will also return to
the program, Zaruta said a
large group from the freshman
team should increase the roster
size.

ground game,” Gilsky said. “I
thought our defense, for the most
part, did very well until the last
two weeks.”
The Black Knights were elim-
inated with last weekend’s 49-14
loss to Wyoming Area.
The team has made the play-
offs in two of three seasons under
Gilsky, but lost in the first round
each time.
Getting over the first-round
playoff hump is one goal on Gil-
sky’s mind as he hopes to use the
veteran base to build a stronger
team for next season.
“This was something we hope
to build on next year and do a lit-
get better at throwing the b
tle bit more,” he said. “We have i
Teams did load up the box on 18”
in the second half of the year. We
need to be able to open it up a lit-
tle bit more.”
Finding a way to do so may
help the Black Knights reduce
their down times in the future.
