Dallas is a perfect 8-0 against Greater Nanticoke Area since September of 2018 and they’ll have a chance to extend that dominance on Wednesday. The Mountaineers will welcome the Trojans at 6:45 p.m. Dallas will be strutting in after a win while Greater Nanticoke Area will be coming in after a defeat.

Dallas will roll into the contest after a wild two-game stretch: they didn’t score any goals on Tuesday, then bounced right back against Crestwood on Saturday. The Mountaineers were the clear victors by a 4-1 margin over the Comets. Considering Dallas have won four matchups by more than two goals this season, Saturday’s blowout was nothing new.

Meanwhile, Greater Nanticoke Area was not able to break out of their rough patch on Friday as the team picked up their seventh straight loss. They came up short against Wilkes-Barre, falling 9-0. While losing is never fun, Greater Nanticoke Area can’t take it too hard given the team’s big disadvantage in MaxPreps’ Pennsylvania soccer rankings (they are ranked 497th, while Wilkes-Barre are ranked 156th).

Dallas has been performing well recently as they’ve won four of their last five matches. That’s provided a nice bump to their 8-4-1 record this season. Those victories came thanks in part to their defensive effort, having only given up two goals over those five contests. As for Greater Nanticoke Area, their defeat dropped their record down to 1-10-2.

NANTICOKE, LUZERNE COUNTY (WBRE/WYOU) — Recovery is more than leaving addiction behind; it’s rediscovering strength, hope, and the chance of a brighter future.

The hustle and bustle of being a college student can lead to many obstacles and stress.

But for students inside the Arei building at Luzerne County Community College in Nanticoke, many of them are already battling challenges of their own.

“The AllOne Recovery Educational Institute will help students go back to school that are in sobriety from active addiction, and six months and beyond, it helps them get degrees,” said certified recovery/intake specialist at LCCC, James Monahan.

Monahan is a certified recovery and intake specialist with the program that currently helps nearly 50 students.

Search for suspect ends in Luzerne County

The program hits home for him, as he went through it himself.

“I was in active addiction for 25 years, and when I finally raised my hand and said, ‘I need help,’ this was almost five years ago. I’m coming up on five years of my own sobriety, and it saved my life because I opened my mouth and asked for that help,” shared Monahan.

Monahan says it helped get his life back on track, even starting the “Stay Strong! Student Support Club” when he was enrolled.

“When students walk in, like myself, they have no hope, and when a program like this helps them break those barriers, it gives them hope to continue not just their education, but their life,” said Monahan.

While the month of September marks National Recovery Month, Monahan says providing support to those who need it and having conversations to end the stigma of sobriety are ways to raise awareness.

“If I didn’t have my parents, if I didn’t have my brother and sister, my girlfriend Raven, people in my support group,…
