WVW QB too much for Dallas

Wyoming Valley West junior quarterback Mike Baur ran for three touchdowns and accounted for 25 yards of offense as Wyoming Valley West knocked off Dallas, 28-14, spoiling the debut of Mountaineer coach Bob Zaruta.

Baur completed 8 of 12 passes for 154 yards and rushed 21 times for 91 more.

Dallas quarterback Ryan Zapoticky, an All-Wyoming Valley Conference selection last season, had a big game statistically. He hit on 16 of 24 passes for 172 yards, including a beautifully-placed 34yard TD toss to Derik Johnson in the third quarter.

Even when Dallas moved within 28-14 on a 59-yard TD run by Kris Roccograndi with 9:47 to play, the Mountaineers couldn't sustain the rally because of the pressure. Their final two drives ended at the Valley West 5 and 28 after Zapoticky had to hurry throws.
