TOM DALY (55) of Sun Valley halts Felix run during Section Two game at Lansdowne Rtvers of Lansdowne-Aldan on first quarterVanguards blankSun Valley pride, defense differenceBy HARRY CHAYKUN Daily Times Sports EditorLANSDOWNE - Sun Valley used a new look and an old one Monday afternoon and bested Lansdowne-Aldan, 14-0, for its second Section Two win of the seasonThe new look was a variation in the Vanguards’ defense designed by defensive coordinators Joe Giampalmi and Mike Lashendock The old look came from within the players “I think their pride came through,” said Sun Valley coach Bob Fithian. whose charges won their sixth consecutive game of the season Today was the type of day when you really couldn’t do anything fancy, he said You had to come right at people and just block and tackle ’”Which is what Sun Valley does best when it is right The line blocked for backs Dana Boord and Randy Owsley and gave quarterback Gary Nuyannes adequate time for passing And the defense swarmed all over Lansdowne's attack, rising with the big fourth quarter play when it was necessary ‘i’m pleased with the defense. Fithian said Joe and Mike made a few changes and gave it a new look But our secondary did one hell of a job.”1110 Vanguard secondary* allowed L-A’s Paul Landry, who threw for four touchdowns in his previous start, to com plete only 5-of-14 passes for 50 yards He was dumped twice attempting to pass Both defenses played well,” Fithian said ‘ But our kids were just a little tougher offensively,’’ he added Sun Valley’s kids responded like men on their firstpossession of the game after Hank DiFabio recovered a Lansdowne-Aldan fumble on the third play from scrimmage Sophomore Rick Taylor got a first down at the L-A 30 on the first fourth down play the Vanguards faced Then Nuyannes banged up the middle for another but the drive faltered to a 4th-and-3 situation at the 14Boord took a pitchout from Nuyannes, head left and had an easy trip down the sideline for a touchdown. Owsley booted the extra point A second quarter drive stopped at the L-A 20 and Owsley’s 37-yard field goal attempt was wide Sun Valley moved from its 48 to the L-A 2 before being stopped on its first second half possession L-A then moved the ball to the Sun Valley 27 before being thwarted Felix Rivers picked up big yardage around the ends and Landry hit John Gravagno for a 12-yard gain and a first downWith a first down at the SV 27, Landry’s pass was almost intercepted by Mike Diehl The second down pass went m and out of the hands of linebacker Mike Giduck, who gave the ball a boot out of frustration The Lansdowne coaches screamed for a penalty That turned the game around, said an angry coach Don Cornman afterward Landry ’s third down pass was knocked down by Jim Arnold and he was dumped for an eight-yard loss by Tom Daly on fourth down One play later. Hugh Cannon claimed a Sun Valley fumble for the Lords, but Daly came up with the key third down play spilling Landry for a four yard lossLate in the quarter, the Lords got one final offensive thrust ingear But Landry ’s fourth down pass to Rivers failed to yield a first down by a foot - Rivers’ foot, which Chuck Colberg grabbed and used to pull the speedy halfback to the ground at the Sun Valley 36 Following a 15-yard penalty, Sun Valley added its second touchdown with 1 34 to play when Owsley bulled off the right side of the line, broke a couple of tackles and picked up several good downfield blocks as he raced 46 yards Fithian complemented Lansdowne.Aldan athletic director Bucky Forbes for his work in getting the field ready for the game He must have worked for hours. Fithian said And it wasn’t really bad ”Since Nuyannes was sick in bed Saturday with the flu and would have missed the game had it been played on schedule, and since Owsley was recovering from an illness that kept him out of the game with Lower Moreland last week. Fithian must have had some other thanking to do laterSUN VALLEYENOS Hatton. Taylor DeVito TACKLES u Miron. Connelly, Giduek Griffiths Dalv GUARDS u Mills. Connor. Manerchia Godby.
