GREEN BAY, Wis. Backup
quarterback Graham Harrell
finally came through with the
strong preseason performance
the Green Bay Packers were
looking for, driving the offense

his possessions in a victory over
the Kansas City Chiefs.
Jaguars 24, Falcons 14
JACKSONVILLE, Fla.
Kevin Elliott had a 77-yard

NASHVILLE, Tenn. The

CLEVELAND Quarterback
Colt McCoy did little to solidify
winning Clevelands backup job
or impress any other NFL
team and Chicagos Josh
McCown threw two touchdown
passes in the first half, leading
the Bears to a victory over the
Browns in the exhibition finale.
Rams 31, Ravens 17
ST. LOUIS Sam Bradford
threw three touchdown passes
in 11/2 quarters giving the St.
Louis Rams a win over the Balti-
more Ravens to end the presea-
son.
PHILADELPHIA - After put-
ting his stamp on a solid presea-
son, Nick Foles appeared to
solidify his spot as a backup
quarterback for the Philadelphia
Eagles.
Trent Edwards wants one,
too.
Edwards threw for two touch-
downs and his pinpoint passing
in the first half set up another
Thursday as the Eagles closed
their perfect preseason with a
28-10 victory over the New York
Jets at Lincoln Financial Field.
They say if you dont make it
here, you can make it someplace
else, Edwards said. I want to
be HERE.
This is the team I want to
play for.
He showed it, by hitting 22 of
his 32 passes for 197 yards and
directing two touchdown drives
against Jets reserves.
I thought Trent played well,
Eagles coach Andy Reid said.
He had a lot of drives and a lot
of touchdowns there. Youve got
to give him credit for that.
Now the Eagles will have to
figure out if that was enough to
keep Edwards.
With the NFL deadline for
teams to trim final rosters to 53
players set for 9 p.m. today, both
the Eagles and Jets filled the
field with fringe players hoping
just to secure a roster spot.
Edwards was one of them.
Although hes a former NFL
starter with the Buffalo Bills
and Jacksonville Jaguars, Ed-
wards came into training camp
as a longshot to make the Ea-
gles. They seem set with starter
Michael Vick and return reliable
third-year backup Mike Kafka.
And Foles, a third-round draft
pick out of Arizona this past
April, wrapped up his impres-
sive preseason by connecting on
four of six passes for 46 yards
while directing Philadelphias
offense through the first quarter.
Texans 28, Vikings 24
HOUSTON Trindon Holli-
day had his third kick return for

ton struck out a career-high10
in eight innings, Taylor Teagar-
den and AdamJones homered
and the Baltimore Orioles beat
the Chicago White Sox 5-3
Thursday for their eighth win
in11games.
Baltimore took three of four
fromthe AL Central-leading
White Sox to complete a 5-1
homestand that started with a
two-game sweep of Toronto.
The victory moved the
Orioles (72-58) within three
games of the idle AL East-lead-
ing NewYork Yankees, who
host Baltimore in a three-game
series that begins Friday night.
Britton (4-1) gave up one run,
seven hits and did not issue a
walk. He fanned Dewayne Wise
three times and eclipsed his
previous single-game career
high of seven strikeouts by the
fifth inning.
Athletics12, Indians 7
CLEVELANDJarrod
Parker pitched into the sixth
inning and Oakland hit four
home runs, leading the Athlet-
ics to their sixth straight win, a
victory over the free-falling
Indians and a sweep of the
four-game series.
Oakland, which has won
eight of nine, maintained its
one-game lead over Baltimore
for the top spot in the AL wild
card race. George Kottaras
three-run double broke a1-1tie
in the fourth while Coco Crisp,
Cliff Pennington, Josh Reddick
and Josh Donaldson homered.
Mariners 5, Twins 4
MINNEAPOLIS Blake
Beavan gave up two runs in

WASHINGTON Bryce
Harper hit his third home run
in two games, Jason Werth
homered for the first time
since May, and Edwin Jackson
struck out 10 Thursday night
as the Washington Nationals
padded their NL East lead with
an 8-1 win over the punchless
St. Louis Cardinals.
The Nationals opened an
11-game homestand with an
overwhelming performance
against a wild-card contender
that failed to score an earned
run for the third straight game.
Jackson (8-9) was so dom-
inant that three of his strike-
outs required throws to first
because the Cardinals were
chasing balls in the dirt.
The victory moved the Na-
tionals 5
1
2 games ahead of idle
Atlanta.
Cubs 12, Brewers 11
CHICAGO Jonathan
Lucroy hit a grand slam and
drove in seven runs for Mil-
waukee, but Alfonso Sorianos
RBI single capped a three-run
comeback in the ninth inning
Thursday that lifted the Chica-
go Cubs over the Brewers 12-11.
In a seesaw game featuring a
combined 15 extra-base hits,
the Cubs led 3-0, trailed 9-3
and were still down 11-9 going
into the ninth.
Starlin Castro hit an RBI
single against Francisco Rodri-
guez (2-7), Anthony Rizzo tied
it with his second double of the
afternoon and Soriano won the
game with his one-out drive off
the center-field wall.
Phillies 3, Mets 2
PHILADELPHIA Phillies
star Jimmy Rollins was
benched after a pair of base-
running blunders in Philadel-
phias win over the Mets.
Rollins was pulled for the
start of the seventh inning after
a pair of mistakes in the sixth.
The former NL MVP failed
to run hard on a dropped pop-
up that could have put him on
second base. He stole second
base, then was caught in a
rundown on a grounder and
was tagged out.
Giants 8, Astros 4
HOUSTON Hunter Pence
hit a go-ahead two-run single
in the seventh inning and the
San Francisco Giants rallied
again for a win over the Hous-
ton Astros.
The Giants were down 4-0
after four innings. They cut the
lead to one with a three-run
fifth inning, and Pablo Sand-
oval singled in a run in the
seventh to tie it. Pence, who
hit a three-run homer on
Wednesday, then caused trou-
ble for his former team again,
this time with a two RBI
grounder off Fernando Rodri-
guez (1-9) to shallow center
field that put San Francisco on
top 6-4.

court developments in the after-
noon.
There was the loss by fifth-
seeded Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, the
2008 Australian Open runner-
up, against a man ranked 52nd.
And there was a spate of victo-
ries by American men, two who
are Roddicks contemporaries
and good pals (32-year-old
James Blake and 30-year-old
Mardy Fish), and two who have
been viewed as possible succes-
sors as the best the country has
to offer in the sport (19-year-old
Jack Sock and 24-year-old Sam
Querrey).
I saw the press conference
just before I came out here. I had
a feeling, thought it might be,
because hes someone who puts
heart and soul into every match.
It gets tougher as you get older,
and I dont think he could keep
doing it the same way, said the
115th-ranked Blake, whose 6-1,
6-4, 6-2 upset of No. 24 Marcel
Granollers of Spain was stun-
ning for its ease.
No. 23-seeded Fish came back
to beat two-time U.S. Open
semifinalist Nikolay Davydenko
4-6, 6-7 (4), 6-2, 6-1, 6-2, the tour-
nament-record 10th match in
which a man erased a two-set
deficit and came all the way

ALLENTOWN The Scran-
ton/Wilkes-Barre Yankees used
the long ball and a stellar effort
from starting pitcher John
Maine, whowonhis thirdconsec-
utive start, to earn a 5-0 win over
the Lehigh Valley Iron Pigs on
Thursday night.
With the win, the Yankees (82-
57) clinched the International
League North Division title for
the fifthtime insixseasons under
Manager Dave Miley.
Kevin Russo set the tone in the
bottom of the first inning.
Russo tripled off the wall in
left-center fieldoff IronPigs start-
er Mario Hollands (0-2). One bat-
ter later, Eduardo Nunez hit his
secondhomer of the seasonand
the first of four on the night for
the Yankees giving SWB a 2-0
lead.
Cole Garner slugged the Yan-
kees second homer of the night
and his sixth of the season lead-
ing off the bottom of the third.
Garners deep solo blast gave the
Yankees a 3-0 lead.
The Yankees went back-to-
back leading off the sixth inning,
with solo home runs from Ron-
nier Mustelier and Austin Ro-
mine.
Musteliers 10th of the season
was a shot to the lawn section in
deep left-center field. Romine fol-
lowed up the leadoff homer with
his third of the season, a lowliner
over the wall in the left field cor-
ner.
The back-to-back homers in
Thursday were the second pair
the Yankees hit on the season.S
teve Pearce and Jack Cust did so
back on May 29 against Toledo.
Maine held the Iron Pigs at bay
all night, allowing just three hits
over seven innings. Andres Blan-
cos double to right-center in the
third inning was the only Lehigh
Valley hit that got out of the in-
field.
Cory Wade came on for the
Yankees in the eighth inning and
retired all three batters he faced
before turning the ball over to
Ryota Igarashi, who pitched a 1-
2-3 top of the ninth inning and
struckout JasonPridie toendthe
game.
The Yankees begin the final
four-game series of the season on
Saturday night at McCoy Stadi-
um against the Pawtucket Red
Sox. Righty Ramon Ortiz (12-6,
3.44 ERA) will get the start inthe
opening game of the series for
Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, while
Pawtucket sends out southpaw
Chris Hernandez (1-3, 3.44).

LINE: PennState by 6
Z011: PennState (9^, 62, wins vacated), Ohio (0^, 62MAC)
SERIES HIST0RY: Sixthmeetinq, PennState leads 50
LAST MEETIN0: 97^, PennState won356inState Colleqe
KEY MATCHUP: Ohio may have one ol the best passinq attacks
onPennState's entire schedule, led by senior quarterback 1yler
1ettleton. 1hat's a rouqhway to start lor a PennState secondary
that has beenhammered by attritionthis entire ollseason. 1he
Bobcats will air it out and air it out olten.
PLAYER T0 WATCH: NewLions tailback Bill Beltonqot a lull
vote ol conlidence lromcoachBill O'Brienalter Silas Redd lelt
town. 1houqh the true sophomore hasn't been a lulltime tailback
since his middle school days, PennState coaches don't seemall
that concerned about the run qame. Belton is eaqer to showwhy.
TELLIN0 NUMBERS: Factorinq inthe sanctions that stripped
away wins since 998, PennState is 9292 (.823) alltime in
season openers and 002 (.889) in home openers.
0I0 Y0U KN0W: PennState head coaches are 03 intheir
lirst qame incharqe ol the Lions. O'Brienis the 3thcoachto
open his tenure in Happy Valley with a home qame.
0UTL00K: lt's time to play lootball once aqain at Penn
State. And it's anyone's quess as to how it will play out.
Rest assured, the Lions don't have an openinq creampull
to lace lor the lirst time in several years, and Ohio has a
leqitimate shot in this one. With siqnilicant chanqes in
philosophy on both sides ol the ball and emotions runninq
hiqh, it may take well into the second hall to settle in.

Berwick
at
Crestwood
7 p.m.
today
The Coaches: Berwicks George Curry (413-90-5, 43rd year);
Crestwoods Greg Myers (41-44, 7th year)
Last Meeting: Crestwood 19-6 in 2011
All-Time Series: Berwick leads 6-1
Quick Fact: Comets won for first time against Berwick, 19-6, last
season
Scouting Berwick: Curry is back, but a lot of the offense is
gone. Departed QB Jared Pierce and RB Jeremy Freeman combined to
score 31 of 40 regular-season TDs in 2011. But there is also a concern on
defense where the Dawgs gave up too many points last season.
Scouting Crestwood: Buy a program. Four-year starting QB
Nick Aigeldinger is one of several key contributors to graduate. WR
Kota Kishel is back after a strong season, but thats about it at the skill
positions.
What To Expect: Berwick is probably a little ahead of Crestwood
right now based on the returning players. That should be evident now,
but perhaps not later in the season.

Last Meeting: Williamsport 23-13 in 2011
All-Time Series: Williamsport leads 6-4
Quick Fact: Williamsport has scored 100 points in winning the last
three meetings.
Scouting Central Mountain: Kishbaugh, a Berwick grad,
had a rough time in his first season. The offense should be better with
the return of RB/QB Von Walker, who had nearly 1,200 yards on the
ground last year.
Scouting Williamsport: The Millionaires gameplan is simple
run the ball. And why not with two-time 1,000-yard rusher Devin Miller
back and Caleb Belle pitching in as well.
What To Expect: A game a lot like last year. Both teams are a
little more seasoned, but Williamsports run game could be the differ-
ence.

Hazleton
Area
at
Scranton
7 p.m.
today
The Coaches: Hazleton Areas Jim Drumheller (4-6, 2nd year);
Scrantons Mike Marichak (21-21, 5th year)
Last Meeting: Hazleton Area 44-28 in 2001
All-Time Series: Hazleton Area leads 2-0
Quick Fact: The teams have only met in NEPFC play, the two-year
merger of the WVC and Lackawanna Conference in 2000 and 2001.
Scouting Hazleton Area: The Cougars played well in their
final three games, falling just short of a .500 season. Unfortunately,
many of the players responsible for the success are gone. There is
some talent to work with, so the Cougars could improve on last
season.
Scouting Scranton: The Knights appear the favorite to win the
District 2 Class 4A title for a second straight year. Karlon Quiller is a
big-time playmaker at receiver and QB Marlinn Waiters can beat
opponents with his arm or legs.
What To Expect: A victory here would make people take notice
of Hazleton Area as a factor in the D2-4A title hunt. The Cougars,
though, will likely be undone by their inexperience, especially in the
backfield.
-- John Erzar
Holy
Redeemer
at
Northwest
7 p.m.
today
The Coaches: Redeemers Pat Reece (0-0, 1st year); Northwests
Carl Majer (28-17, 5th year)
Last Meeting: Northwest 38-24 in 2011
All-Time Series: Northwest leads 4-0
Quick Fact: Northwest has scored at least 33 points in all four
meetings.
Scouting Redeemer: Reece takes over and has some passing
weapons at his disposal with QB Jimmy Strickland and pass catchers
Thomas Cosgrove and Eric Kerr. The Royals, though, really need to run
the ball with consistency. And block much, much better.
Scouting Northwest: Northwest running back Tony Politz had
a career-high 244 yards in last years victory over Redeemer. The
Rangers 352 yards on the ground were also a season high. The passing
offense will be a work in progress. The parts are there, but some
assembly is required.
What To Expect: Running Politz last season worked, so dont
expect Northwest to deviate too much from that philosophy. It should
be good enough for a victory.
-- John Erzar
Lakeland
at
GAR
7 p.m.
today
The Coaches: Lakelands Jeff Wasilchak (31-14, 5th season); GARs
Paul Wiedlich Jr. (22-4, 3rd year)
Last Meeting: GAR 41-21 in 2011
All-Time Series: Tied 5-5
Quick Fact: The teams have met in the playoffs in four of the past
five seasons, with GAR winning the last two.
Scouting Lakeland: The Chiefs will be strong up front led by
Cody DelFino, who returns on the defensive line. They also have a very
good QB in Kyle Kiehart and a solid runner in Tyler Brady. They also
have the desire to avenge the loss to GAR in the District 2 Class 2A
playoffs.
Scouting GAR: GAR has three excellent linemen Zac Faust,
Shakir Soto and Christian Skrepenak back. Multi-purpose threat Lucas
Benton returns. Then it gets a little dicey, although new QB Corey
Moore threw for 308 yards in a relief role last year vs. Lakeland in a
34-31 loss during the 2011 regular season.
What To Expect: This is a difficult game to figure out. It really
looks like a toss-up, but home-field advantage should give GAR the
edge. Both teams will get better as the season wears on.
-- John Erzar
Meyers
at
Holy
Cross
1 p.m.
Saturday
The Coaches: Meyers Corry Hanson (3-7, 2nd year); Holy Cross
Jeff Stevens (4-6, 2nd year)
Last Meeting: Holy Cross 37-14 in 2011
All-Time Series: Meyers leads 3-1
Quick Fact: Meyers has averaged 27 points vs. the Crusaders.
Scouting Meyers: Meyers pushed itself to contender status
with the addition of WVC rushing leader Parrish Bennett, a Hanover
Area transfer. He cant but help an offense that struggled to score
against better opponents. The defense should be better as well.
Scouting Holy Cross: The Crusaders pounded the ball at
Meyers last year while their defense held the Mohawks to 101 total
yards. But with heavy losses to graduation, the Crusaders will have a
hard time doing both again.
What To Expect: It should be close for a quarter, maybe a half,
but Meyers will eventually overwhelm the 22-man Holy Cross squad.
-- John Erzar
Mid Valley
at
Hanover
Area
7 p.m.
today
The Coaches: Frank Pazzaglia (340-137-8, 44th year); Hanover
Areas Ron Hummer (34-23, 7th year)
Last Meeting: Mid Valley 34-27 in 2011
All-Time Series: Hanover Area leads 4-1
Quick Fact: Hanover Area has scored at least 25 points in the
previous four meetings.
Scouting Mid Valley: The Spartans fell just short of making a
District 2 title game for the first time since 2005, falling 35-28 to
Wyoming Area in the D2-2A semifinals. Plenty of talent is back, so this
could be the year.
Scouting Hanover Area: Its certainly a rebuilding year for
the Hawkeyes. There is little firepower left on offense, especially with
RB Parrish Bennett departing for Meyers, and the defense must
improve on last years performance.
What To Expect: Hanover Area has the home-field advantage,
but thats about the only edge in this matchup. Mid Valley is too
experienced to let a victory slip away.
-- John Erzar
Nanticoke
at
Lackawanna
Trail
7 p.m.
today
The Coaches: Nanticokes Ron Bruza (7-12, 3rd year); Trails Steve
Jervis (36-57, 10 year)
Last Meeting: never played
All-Time Series: never played
Quick Fact: Trail won three of its last four in 2011, allowing just 23
points in those games.
Scouting Nanticoke: This will be a key season for Nanticoke
as it will be the first time under Bruza that the Trojans have plenty of
new faces in the lineup. One holdover is running back Pat Hempel, who
was second on the team in rushing in 2011 and had a pair of 100-yard
games.
Scouting Trail: The Lions came within a whisker of upsetting Old
Forge in last years District 2 Class A playoffs. But a lot of those guys
have departed, leaving Jervis with some holes to fill. One wont be a
line spot where Justin Barber will be the best interior guy on the field.
What To Expect: Despite the graduation losses for both teams,
Trail seems to have more guys ready to step up than the Trojans. So
expect a Lions victory.
-- John Erzar
Old
Forge
at
Lake-Lehman
7 p.m.
today
The Coaches: Old Forges Mike Schuback (78-39, 11th year);
Lehmans Jerry Gilsky (12-9, 3rd year)
Last Meeting: Old Forge 21-7 in 2011
All-Time Series: Old Forge leads 2-0
Quick Fact: Both Old Forge victories have come in the past two
years.
Scouting Old Forge: The defending LFC Division 3 and District
2 Class A champions should be up to their old tricks once again. It will
be a typical Blue Devil team that will use seasoned big guys to control
the line of scrimmage.
Scouting Lehman: Dustin Jones and Brady Butler could be the
biggest running back tandem in the area. Expect the Black Knights to
use them extensively early on until the new starters get into the mix.
The defense allowed a season-high 346 rushing yards to Old Forge last
season.
What To Expect: Neither team has a guy at least it looks that
way now who can string a lot of moves together. So it will come
down to the big guys up front to determine the winner.
-- John Erzar
Pittston
Area
at
Abington
Heights
1 p.m.
Saturday
The Coaches: Pittston Areas Mike Barrett (3-7, 2nd year);
Abingtons Joe Repshis (62-20, 8th year)
Last Meeting: Abington 21-8 in 2008
All-Time Series: Tied 3-3
Quick Fact: Pittston Area won the last regular-season meeting
14-6 in 1970.
Scouting Pittston Area: Like Abington, the Patriots were 3-7
last season. But it was a good 3-7 in that the Patriots looked good in
nearly every game. They need to find a quarterback, but the other
positions are covered by veterans for the most part.
Scouting Abington: Look at the Abington coachs record. The
Comets arent used to losing, but had an unexpected 3-7 record in 2011.
However, they played well late despite going 1-3 down the stretch. Two
losses were by a combined 13 points to postseason qualifiers.
What To Expect: If the game was Friday at Pittston Area, then
the Patriots might be slight favorites. But Abingtons stadium aka The
Pit is a difficult place to play on Saturday afternoons. And a difficult
place to win for opponents.
-- John Erzar
Scranton
Prep
at
Wyoming Area
7 p.m.
today
The Coaches: Preps Nick Donato (137-84-2, 21st year); Wyoming
Areas Randy Spencer (21-22, 5th year)
Last Meeting: Wyoming Area 55-28 in 1998
All-Time Series: Wyoming Area leads 2-1
Quick Fact: The Warriors other victory over Prep was 31-6 in 1971.
Scouting Prep: Preps 2011 season ended on a sour note with a
39-6 loss to Dallas in the District 2 Class 3A semifinals. The Cavs,
though, returning plenty of experience starting with RB Marshall
Kupinski and QB Griffin DiBileo. Theyre certainly a playoff contender.
Scouting Wyoming Area: Standout QB/RB Nick OBrien
returns for his final season, but he is only part of a talented skill
position group. The Warriors are also itching for the postseason after
losing in the D2-2A title contest. The defense needs to play better than
last year.
What To Expect: Two teams that scrimmaged on a regular basis
now get to play for real. Could be the best game of the night with the
loser looking back to this contest as the one that got away.
-- John Erzar
Tunkhannock
at
Coughlin
7 p.m.
Saturday
The Coaches: Tunkhannocks Rod Azar (1-9, 2nd year); Coughlins
Ciro Cinti (34-32, 7th year)
Last Meeting: Coughlin 48-11 in 2011
All-Time Series: Coughlin leads 19-11-1
Quick Fact: Coughlin won the first meeting 6-0 in 1898. Tunk-
hannock did not score until the seventh meeting, a 55-22 Crusaders
win in 1984
Scouting Tunkhannock: The Tigers were able to pick up their
only win of 2011 in their season finale. Some skill guys who showed
promise return, so its possible for a few more wins this season. The
line, though, is young and depth isnt too deep.
Scouting Coughlin: Zac Evans takes over at the backfield
workhorse. Hell have two of the best blocking for him linemen Brad
Emerick and Aaron Tohme. Thats been the Crusaders recipe for
success throughout Cintis reign.
What To Expect: Coughlin rushed for a season-high 387 yards in
last years matchup. The Crusaders will use the same formula and the
number of passes by their offense should be able to be counted on
one hand.
-- John Erzar
Wyoming
Valley West
at
Dallas
1 p.m.
Saturday
The Coaches: Valley Wests Pat Keating (22-11, 4th year); Dallas
Bob Zaruta (0-0, 1st year)
Last Meeting: Dallas 28-27 in 2011
All-Time Series: Valley West leads 12-9
Quick Fact: Valley West has lost its last three games played on
grass fields on Saturday afternoons.
Scouting Valley West: Life begins without Eugene Lewis,
who electrified crowds for four years. Yet, dont count out the
Spartans. They might not be as explosive (who would be without
Eugene) but still are solid contenders for a District 2/4-11 Class 4A
playoff berth.
Scouting Dallas: Life begins without coach Ted Jackson, who
had 26 winning seasons in 27 years at Dallas. Yet, dont count out
the Mountaineers. They have the best throw-catch combo in the
WVC with Ryan Zapoticky and Jason Simonovich. And the line is
extremely talented as well.
What To Expect: A close game seems quiet possible. A key
factor could be a Valley West assistant Ted Jackson Jr. He knows
the Dallas kids as well as anyone and that could be the tipping
factor. Then again, the Spartans dont always play well on Saturday
afternoons.
-- John Erzar

Faces will look very fa-
miliar on opposite sidelines
this afternoon when Wyom-
ing Area hosts Hanover
Area in the boys soccer
season opener for both
teams at the field at Tenth
Street Elementary School.
The Warriors hired a new
coach in the offseason in
Nick Hufford, who happens
to be a former assistant and
junior high mentor with the
Hawkeyes program.
Hufford spent three years
under Hanover Area head
coach John Nealon, with his
last season being in 2008.
So the current seniors were
Huffords last group as
junior high coach. The
familiarity doesnt stop
there, though.
Huffords assistant coach
is Pat Cook, who just gradu-
ated from Hanover Area
this past spring and helped
the Hawkeyes to back-to-
back Wyoming Valley Con-
ference Division III cham-
pionships in 2010 and 2011
as starting sweeper.
I learned a lot from John
Nealon so I have a ton of
respect for him, Hufford
said. It doesnt get any
better than that. Its going
to be a lot of fun. When the
schedule came out and we
saw Hanover as the first
game, Pat and I just said
Why not. It kind of set the
bar there and this is one
that counts.
While the Hawkeyes have
been the team to beat in the
division the last two years,
the Warriors have been
near the bottom. But with a
large number of players
returning, theyre looking
to make some noise this
afternoon.
STARTING AT THE END
The season gets under-
way with six games this
afternoon and a pair Sat-
urday morning. The Hanov-
er Area-Wyoming Area
matchup isnt the only one
that will be familiar.
Crestwood hosts Dallas
on Saturday morning in a
rematch of the District 2
Class 2A semifinals from
last year won by the Moun-
taineers.
Lake-Lehman, which has
bumped up from Division II
to Division I this season
after winning consecutive
division championships,
travels to Pittston Area in a
battle of the top two teams
from D-II in 2011. The Black
Knights won the only
match between the two last
year and this afternoons
contest will be the only
time they square off in
2012.
CHANGE, CHANGE,
CHANGE
Whenever a new season
starts, there are always
going to be some changes
on and off the field.
The most notable chang-
es locally occurred off the
field.
Coughlin and Tunkhan-
nock drop back down to
Class 2A after spending the
last two in 3A and Lake-
Lehman will now play in
WVC Division I after two
straight Division II titles.
There are also two coach-
ing changes. In addition to
Hufford replacing Sam
Fuller at Wyoming Area,
Rob Schoener takes over for
Dan Cunningham at Hazle-
ton Area. Schoener was an
assistant with the girls
program at Hazleton Area
previously. The Cougars are
also playing at a new home
this season. All but one of
their home matches will be
at Maple Manor Field, the
former home to the Bishop
Hafey football team. The
only home match not
played there will be hosted
at Harman-Geist Memorial
Field for the teams senior
night on Oct. 10.
COMING UP
The full Times Leader
boys soccer preview will be
published on Sunday. Thats
also the day the team-by-
team preview for all 17
programs in the Wyoming
Valley Conference will be
available.

task at hand.
The job the Cougars have
will be dealing with the Bul-
lets, who are coming off a
6-4 season and averaged
34.4 points per game play-
ing in the Centennial Con-
ference. They possess a
high-powered offense,
which tallied 460.9 yards
per game good for 11th in
all of Division III and
scored at least 40 points on
five occasions last year. Six
starters are back from its
spread wing offense.
Even though the Bullets
return a 1,000-yard receiver
from a year ago, their
strength is running the foot-
ball. They averaged 225.4
yards per game, which out-
rushed the second-best
team in the Centennial by
45 yards per game. Their
top offensive player is se-
nior tailback and punt re-
turner Ted Delia, who ran
for 1,071 yards and is a D3
Senior Classic Preseason
All-American honorable
mention as a punt returner.
As a return man, he aver-
aged 25.9 yards per punt re-
turn and had three touch-
downs in 2011.
The Cougars will look to
slow down the potent of-
fense with their multiple 3-4
defensive scheme.
They like to go very fast
so thats going to be a chal-
lenge for our kids to adapt
to the speed that they play.
If you dont do that its hard
to mimic, Ross noted.
They have high expecta-
tions and based on the im-
provements they made; it
will be a challenge.
At midweek, Ross was
still evaluating his players
and was unsettled on his
starters in the backfield. Re-
gardless of who gets the
starting nod, the coach ex-
pects all the players on his
79-man roster to contribute
not only this week but every
week in some way, which
should benefit the team a
number of ways on a weekly
basis.
Ive always believed that
your strength is in numbers;
nobody on the team has not
given it their best, Ross
added. Certainly some
guys performance level dic-
tates a little more time on
the field than others, but its
going to be a hot day and
with all the adrenaline and
excitement of the first game
were going to need to use
bodies so that we can stay
in it for 60 minutes and not
be out of gas come half-
time.
Another aspect Misericor-
dia may have in its favor is
that for the first few games
opponents wont know what
to expect from the first-year
team because of film and
scouting unavailable.
I dont know how much
of an advantage it is just be-
cause we dont have the ex-
perience they have, the
coach said. Not just play-
ing the game but what to
expect, but hopefully that
will tilt it back a little bit to
our way.
No matter what the out-
come, the Cougars players
will make memories for
themselves by making his-
tory and being part of a
unique experience.

Does it reallymatter?
No, not tothis fearsome foursome.
Theyremoreinterestedinthegame
of golf for a good time, some socializa-
tion and a chance to relive some past
sports glory.
We cant play football, Mischianti
said.
Cant playbaseball, Gelsosaid.
None of themfiguredtheydbe play-
inganythingthis long.
Gelso talks about his long list of ail-
ments, starting with past heart oper-
ations.
Imbionic, really, Gelsosaid.
But hes got enough mettle to keep
making it onto the golf course, even
awayfromhisJenkinsTownshiphome.
It turnsout GelsoandMischianti are
neighbors at their winter homes inNa-
ples, Fla., andbothgolf together inthat
state as well.
We continue playing golf when we
get down there, Gelso said. I said if I
reach 70 Id thank God. Then I said Id
like to reach 80. Then I said Id like to
see the turnof the century.
With 10 more years, theyll hit their
owncenturymark.
I went toFloridaandsaidIll behap-
py if I could have10 years, Mischianti
said. Ive beenthere 25.
Theyve all beenlongretired.
Mischianti, who was raised in Old
Forge and lives in Plains, gave up his
pants factorya quarter centuryago.
Gelso, who grew up in Pittston and
resides in Jenkins Township, made his
livinginthecoal businessandranBroc-
ca Garages until just12years ago.
I got up one day and didnt feel like
going to work, Gelso said. I went to
the office and gave the business to my
kidbrother andmysecretary.
But in what they call their bonus
years, all four of the 90s crewretains a
zest for life.
Were not couch potatoes, Mis-
chianti said. Were in pretty good
shape.
Sometimes it takes a little extra ef-
fort toget out of the golf cart.
I felt my age a few times up here,
Mischianti said.
And sometimes their shots veer off
course.
Butaslongastheyreoutthere, every
swingfeels great.
Whenwedomissashot,Mischian-
ti said, we always think of the guys
who would love to be here and miss
shots.

Paternos in attendance
A family spokesman told The
Associated Press that members
of the Paterno family intend to
attend Saturdays opener.
The late coachs severance in-
cluded use of a suite at Beaver
Stadium for 25 years.
Though the Paternos have ex-
pressed their displeasure to-
wardrecent events namely Joe
Paternos statue coming down
and his reputation being tar-
nished by the university-com-
missioned Freeh report the
spokesmansaidSaturday would
only be about showing support
for Bill OBrien and the football
team.
The family doesnt want to
do anything to distract fromthe
game this weekend, Dan
McGinn said.
Trouble with trophies
Confusion still exists about
thefateof thesixtrophies theLi-
ons earned from winning bowl
games since 1998.
The NCAA stripped Penn
State of all of its wins includ-
ing in bowl games from 1998-
2011 as part of the heavy sanc-
tions imposed in the wake of the
Jerry Sandusky scandal.
Earlier this week an NCAA
spokesman told WHP-TV in
Harrisburg that the governing
body would request that Penn
State return the trophies from
the Orange Bowl (2005 season),
Capital One Bowl (2009) and
two apiece from the Outback
Bowl (1998, 2006) and Alamo
Bowl (1999, 2007).
But bowl games and the BCS
are independent entities, mean-
ing the NCAA would not have
the authority to also take back
the trophies.
As a correction to our state-
ment last week, the NCAA did
not specifically direct Penn
State to return its trophies from
vacatedbowl wins as a part of its
sanctions, spokesman Chris
Radford wrote in a statement to
multiple outlets. As such, Penn
State and each bowl operator
must decide what is appropri-
ate.

TWA attendants recalled
More than 200 Trans World Airlines
flight attendants are about to go back
to work, nearly 11 years after the Sept.
11, 2001, terrorist attacks that caused
an airline industry slowdown and cost
tens of thousands of jobs.
The recall of 211 workers announced
Thursday means that for the first time
since 9/11, there wont be a single
former TWA attendant on furlough.
The recall is effective Nov. 17.
American Airlines bought St. Louis-
based TWA just months before the
hijackings. In the subsequent down-
turn, American slashed 2,500 jobs.
Carlyle buys DuPont unit
The DuPont Co. is selling its per-
formance coatings business for $4.9
billion in cash to The Carlyle Group,
giving the private equity firm another
investment in the automotive and
industrial segments.
DuPont CEO Ellen Kullman said the
sale of the performance coatings unit
will allow the Wilmington, Del.-based
company to focus on higher-growth,
higher-margin businesses. Those in-
clude agriculture and nutrition, bio-
based industrials, and advanced materi-
als, which Kullman said are the founda-
tion of DuPonts long-term growth
targets.
More private work in Cuba
Twenty-two percent of Cuban work-
ers were employed in non-govern-
mental jobs last year, up from16 per-
cent in 2010, according to statistics
released Thursday.
The increase in non-state jobs was
most noticeable in agricultural cooper-
atives and in self-employment, both
areas that are growing because of eco-
nomic reforms that aim to slash state
payrolls by as much as 1 million.
In 2010, President Raul Castro an-
nounced his intention to slim down
government and expand private eco-
nomic activity to absorb layoffs.
Apple dominates in tablets
Apple extended its dominance in
tablet computers in the second quarter,
shipping nearly seven out of every 10
tablets, according to research firm IHS
iSuppli. Other tablet makers include
Amazon.com Inc., which said Thursday
that it had sold out of the Kindle Fire
amid expectations of a new model
soon.
Apples 69.6 percent share in the
April-June quarter is up from about 58
percent in the first quarter.

A
fter spendingyears workingfor others, atrioof local graphicandcommunicationspecialists
decided the time had come to call their own shots and formed The Creative Agency LLC.
Company owners David Brodt, 33, of Dupont, Joseph Zielinski, 33, of Wilkes-Barre, and
Kelly Franks, 35, of Mountain Top, each bring a certain skill set to the company that pro-
vides identity, print and web design services to local businesses and national corporations.
They have a combined 30 years of design, marketing and sales experience.
Explaining what the newcompany
is and does takes some time. Its goal
is to make businesses stand out from
competitors and to create multi-lay-
ered plans to do just that.
Brodt is quick to note what the
company isnt.
We are not anadvertising agency,
he said. We build relationships with
our clients and creatively position
their company to the customer. We
are artists that are skilled in commu-
nication.
Brodt and Zielinski met while the
twoweregraphic designprogramstu-
dents at AlliedMedical andTechnical
Institute in Scranton. Eventually the
two worked together at a local com-
pany they declined to identify.
Franks, who has a background in
banking and radio sales and market-
ing, did some freelance projects with
Zielinski and when the idea of a new
company was brought up, she knew
she wanted in.
But where to locate?
They considered Old Forge, Scran-
ton and Clarks Summit before set-
tling on the Innovation Center @
Wilkes-Barre, managed by the Grea-
ter Wilkes-Barre Chamber of Busi-
ness and Industry. They open for
business Tuesday in Suite 227.
Its a place Zielinski knew well
since he worked at one of the incuba-
tors biggest success stories, Pepper-
jam.
The Innovation Center has been
the home for several local startups,
some of whomhave gone on to larger
facilities and some that have been
purchased by larger companies, such
as Pepperjam, whichis nowownedby
eBay.
Pepperjam started out with two
desks in the centers second-floor of-
fice space, the same floor The Cre-
ative Agency will be located on in a
430-square-foot space.
Franks said the location, along
South Main Street just off Public
Square, is ideal, the rent reasonable
and the assistance and support the
center provides was icingonthe cake.
Chamber President Bill Mooresaid
companies like The Creative Agency
are perfect for the incubator.
The InnovationCenter was put to-
gether exactly for this sort of compa-
ny, small startup firms wanting to lo-
cate in downtown Wilkes-Barre, he
said.
He said once the firm moves in
next weekthe center will be at 98 per-
cent capacity. He noted that while
there is a planfor a secondInnovation
Center nearby on the former Blum
Brothers clothing store lot on South
Main, the chamber is still into all op-
tions tomake sure it has the best loca-
tion. A decision will be made in the
next six to eight weeks, he added.

WASHINGTONAmericans spent
at the fastest pace in five months in
July after earning a little more. The
increase in income and consumer
spending could help boost an econo-
my mired in subpar growth.
Consumer spending rose 0.4 per-
cent in July from June, the Commerce
Department said Thursday. That fol-
lowed no change in June and a slight
decline in May.
Income grew 0.3 percent, matching
the gains from May and June. Amer-
icans also earned 0.3 percent more af-
ter paying taxes.
The savings rate after taxes dipped
to 4.2 percent in July. Thats down
slightly from 4.3 percent in June, the
highest in a year.
Paul Dales, senior U.S. economist at
Capital Economics, said that the rise
in spending showed there is still life
in American consumers. But he cau-
tioned that higher gasoline prices and
a decline in consumer confidence in
August could dampen spending in
coming months.
So far that hasnt happened. In a
separate report, a group of 18 retailers
ranging from discounter Target to de-
partment-store chain Macys reported
August sales on Thursday that rose 6
percent the industrys best per-
formance since March according to
trade group International Council of
Shopping Centers.
The strong sales reports come two
days after a private research firm said
consumer confidence in August fell to
its lowest level since November 2011.
Hiring picked up in July and could
see further modest gains in August.
The number of Americans seeking un-
employment benefits was unchanged
last week at a seasonally adjusted
374,000, the Labor Department said
in a separate report Thursday.
The economy grewat a tepid annual
rate of 1.7 percent in the April-June
quarter, the government said Wednes-
day. Many economists expect growth
will hover around 2 percent in the sec-
ond half of the year. Growth at that
level is far below what is needed to
rapidly lower the unemployment rate.
Consumers paid no more for their
purchases in July than June, the re-
port showed. Excluding food and en-
ergy, prices over the past year are up
just 1.6 percent, well below the Feder-
al Reserves 2 percent target for infla-
tion.
In its latest survey of business con-
ditions around the country, the Feder-
al Reserve reported Wednesday that
the U.S. economy grew moderately in
July and early August with stronger
retail sales helping to offset weakness
in manufacturing.

Today will con-
vince you that
summer is still
alive and well.
Under sunny
skies and a
breeze out of the
west, tempera-
tures this after-
noon will make a
run at 90. The
record of 95 set
back in 1953 is
not in jeopardy,
but be sure that
with low humidi-
ty, it'll feel just
great. A weak
and shallow cold
front will pass
through later
tonight with
some cloudiness
into early tomor-
row morning.
Sunshine will fol-
low for most of
Saturday along
with warm after-
noon tempera-
tures. Sunday
looks to be a lit-
tle cooler with
some sunshine
then mostly
cloudy on Labor
day. I expect
showers by
Tuesday...from
Isaac.
-Tom Clark
NATIONAL FORECAST: The remnants of Isaac will provide moderate to heavy rain for the central and
lower Mississippi Valley, with scattered showers and thunderstorms to the east and west as well.
Monsoonal moisture will result in scattered thunderstorms from southern California and Nevada into
the Rockies.
