The Wilkes-Barre Chapter of UNICO held its annual players’ dinner Wednesday night, honoring Lackawanna College head football coach Mark Duda. The dinner was held at Fox Hill Country Club in Exeter. The 72nd annual UNICO All-Star Classic football game will be played Saturday at Wyoming Area’s stadium in West Pittston. Kickoff is 7 p.m. Miss UNICO and her court will preside at the game.

According to Attorney Bill Anzalone and his son, Attorney Jamie Anzalone, current UNICO President, the game returned in 2022 after a two-year hiatus due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The Anzalones said this year’s Sponsors Award went to Duda, a graduate of Wyoming Valley West High School, who played in the National Football League with the St. Louis Cardinals from 1983-87.
