For the Record: 1/5/01 Wyoming Seminary boys soccer player Eric Feinstein
was omitted from the Wyoming Valley Conference Class A second-team all-star
team in the Dec. 25 edition. Incorrect information was submitted to the Times
Leader. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Dallas dominated all of its Wyoming Valley Conference opponents this
season, so it should come as no surprise that the Mountaineers dominated the
2001 Times Leader Dream Team. Four Dallas players earned the honor, the most
of any WVC team. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 The Times Leader staff selected 16 players for the Dream Team. The Dream
Team includes five all-state selections and an All-American: Lake-Lehman
midfielder Dave Walters, who recently accepted a soccer scholarship to Penn
State. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 Class A coaches selected first and second teams; Class 2A coaches selected
first and second teams, an MVP and honorable mention; and Class 3A coaches
picked a first team and honorable mention. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
