PAGE 10 THE - DALLAS POST Sunday, December 9, 2012 BOYS Continued from Page 9 point guard. Cody Paraschak, a 6-foot4 ju- nior, put in the work in the offsea- son to make himself into a proba- ble starter. Juniors Vince Williamson and sophomores Mike Symeon and Brian Devine should also be in the mix at guard. DALLAS LOSES STARTING LINEUP Dallas lost the starting lineup from a team that went 15-9, in- cluding winning the second-half and all-season titles in Division 2. Sophomore forward/center Fell, junior guard Matt Seba and sophomore guard Matt Ross were three of the team’s top four play- ers off the bench last season. “Allen is going to be the focal point,” Miller said of Fell, one of his captains. “We want most of our offense to go through him.” Junior guard Chad DeBona is trying to work his way into the li- neup. Mathon could often join Fell on the inside. “He’s going a play a good amount of minutes for a fresh- man,” said Miller, who is begin- ning his second season as Dallas coach. “He’s very tall, very long with a good wing span and, for his size, he’s very coordinated. “He’s developing still, but he’s going to be a very good player.” Guards Kristian Dyrli and John Murray are the only seniors on the roster. Miller said both will be in the rotation of substitutes, along with junior guard Stephen Wem- pa and sophomore forward Omar Nimjeh. Dallas will be part of Division 1 with likely contenders Hazleton Area, Crestwood and Wyoming Valley West as well as Pittston Ar- ea, Coughlin, Berwick and Tunk- hannock.

GIRLS Continued from Page 9 Dallas had winning records in each half, then reached the Dis- trict 2 Class AAA semifinals be- fore having its season end at 14-8 with a two-point loss to eventual champion Honesdale. While Dallas returns its top three players among a large group of experienced players back, Lake-Lehman returns the two other all-stars behind team leader Nikki Sutliff, who gradu- ated. “There are a number of com- binations that we’re looking at,” Dallas coach Kelly Johnson said. “I'm kind of excited about it right now because of the depth.” Seniors Ashley Dunbar, Tan- ner Englehart and Jess Hiscox all return to lead Dallas. Dunbar runs the offense from the point guard position and al- so led the Lady Mountaineers in scoring last season. Englehart provides an inside presence on a team that may re- ly on many guards, including Hiscox. “We have six guards who could all be a significant part of the rotation,” Johnson said. “Depending on our needs and our opponent, our lineup will be adjusted. “There will be games when it is three guards and two for- wards. There might even be times when it is four guards and one forward.” Junior Sam Missal, a 3-point shooting threat, and sophomore Talia Szatkowski, who joined Dunbar in double figures in scoring in the season-ending loss, are part of the guard com- bination with Dunbar and His- cox. Juniors Kaite Comitz and Taylor Kelley, who are among the 10 players with varsity expe- rience, are the other guards. Senior Rachel Olszewski and juniors Maggie Michael and Steph Cybulski are the other ex- perienced forwards. Dallas opens in the Wyoming Valley West Tournament Dec. 8 and 11. SPENCER, SUTTON LEAD LAKE-LEHMAN Lake-Lehman is led by the re- turn of sophomore Cayle Spen- cer and junior Emily Sutton. Spencer led the team in scoring as a freshman and Sutton was third. “Spencer may see a little more time outside,” Lavan said. “Depending on how things are going at the point, Sutton could probably handle that. “She’s very tough on the base- line and down low, but we could use her as a taller guard who could see over the defense,” La- van added. The Lady Knights also return two seniors and two more soph- omores who have varsity experi- ence. “We mixed up the lineup a lot early in the season, so some of them got one or two starts,” La- van said. Senior Jen Konopinski is ex- pected to take over as the point guard. Karen Yamrick is a guard while Bethany Williams and Ni- cole O’Connor play in the front- court. Danae Sutliffe and Lexi Oplinger also earned varsity time last season as freshmen, something guard Julia Eneboe may do this season. Junior Amy Williams also has some limited experience on the varsity level.

BOWLERS Continued from Page 1 group for well over 20 years. The women’s league starts on the last Thursday in August and | continues for 32 week. The women bowl while some of their husbands watch from the coun- ter behind. They fill the room with laughter and high fives. They bowl in six teams of four but are hardly separated, cheer- ing on one another both during the game and outside the walls of the alley. “We really do have fun,” Run- ner said. “There’s a lot of cam- araderie.” Member Betty Williams con- siders the bowlers a nice group of friends. She said league mem- bers will visit someone who is ill and send holiday cards. Many of them golf together during the summer months, as well. “I started in 1999,” said Wil- liams, “and by the first week in September, I was one of the girls.” “Everyone gets along well,” said Runner. “It’s just nice.” Player Viv Ondish joined the league when she was 80 and had the rare opportunity to bowl with her mother, Ruth Evans, who participated in the league until she was 97 years old. “She was a good bowler, a} better than I am now,” said dish. Now 87, Ondish recalls how close she was with her mother and how much it meant to her to share the experience of bowling with her. | Thursday, Jan. 10 — at ® Monday, Feb. 11 — at Hanovgge- /
