Moeller on move High School Highlights

Crusaders rebound, 52-13

By Terry Boehmker Post staff reporter

Moeller High School football coach Steve Klonne said his team needed a "confidencebuilder" after its season-opening 42-20 loss to Warren Harding.

The Crusaders accomplished that by crushing Covington Catholic, 52-13, in the Skyline Crosstown Showdown on Friday at the University of Cincinnati's Nippert Stadium.

The Moeller offense rolled up 468 total yards and the defense forced four turnovers. The Crusaders also scored on a blocked punt.

CovCath finished with 344 total yards.

"It was tough losing the opener," Klonne said."We needed this win as a confidence-builder.

We just have to keep going from here."

Senior running back Trey Hughes was named Moeller's Most Valuable Player in the game. He picked up 130 yards on 15 carries and scored three of the Crusaders' five first-half touchdowns.

Moeller quarterbacks Bernard Dwyer and Brian Reisert completed 9-of-16 passes for 226. yards.

"They dominated us," CovCath coach Lynn Ray said."We weren't in the game from the very start. Basically, I blame myself for not getting the team prepared to stop them."

JIM OSBORN/rhe Post

Joshua Martin heads for Moeller High's second touchdown Friday after picking a blocked punt out of the air. Moeller had /-68 yards and forced four turnovers in a 52-13 victory over Covington Catholic.

Football runs for OSU's Murphy in

BY JOHN ERARDI 1'he Cincinnati Enquirer

Maybe Rob Murphy is a player the Bengals should draft.

Maybe the franchise famous for its poor picks should pay less attention to 40-yard dash times and more attention to guys who can play.

Maybe Murphy, a first-team Associated Press All-America out of Ohio State by way of Moeller High, could help the Bengals: He's tough, has a great work ethic, non-stop motor and killer mental approach.

Murphy hasn't said whether he'll leave school early, but the path of OSU juniors to the NFL is well-worn.

Bowl glance

What one NFL-draft guru says about Rob Murphy:' lo- Jerry Jones, The Drugstore List "He's big and tough and agile and has excellent technique. He really finishes off his blocks. His quickness is OK, average. If he announces (he's coming out fcr the draft), he's a possible secondround pick, probably not a firstrounder. I don't think there are any first-round guards. His competition (at guard) is Doug Brzezinski (Boston College), Tony Coats (Washington), Anthony Cesario (Colorado State) and Cameron Spikes(Texas A& M)."

"When they called me from Ohio State with the news that I'd been named to the AP first team," Murphy said, "they admitted it was a special because they hadn't done as much to hype. me as they had some of the other guys."

So how did the 6-foot-5, 300pounder make AP's first team?

He turned OSU's weekly appearances on national and region-

He never had a bad game, often had spectacular ones and performed at his best in the. games that got the most hype: West Virginia to open the season, Penn State and Michigan.

Murphy credits.hig family for his accomplishments: his father, Bob, a former fullback at Miami (Fla.) who played briefly for the San Diego Chargers: his mother,

Sue, one of his first "coaches," and his brothers, Ryan, a University of Kentucky linebacker, and Mack, a Moeller freshman, who both help keep him "grounded."

. James, expected to declare early eligibility for the NFL draft, rushed for 156 yards on 20 carries, his seventh consecutive 100-yard outing. His two TDs gave him 19 for the season, 15 in that seven-game span.

Miami's defense also limited All-America wide receiver Torry Holt, who had eight 100-yard receiving games this year, to just 52 yards on seven catches.

N.C. State (7-5) did manage 498 yards of offense, including 201 yards passing by Jamie Barnette.

BAILEY LEAVING: Georgia All-America cornerback

man Jeremy Streck''s status for Friday's Outback Bowl against Penn State, but coach Hal Mumme said Streck should be able to play. Streck twisted the knee 'in practice Tuesday.

HOLIDAY BOWL: The big-play Arizona Wildcats will try to make their season by beating Nebraska in the Holiday Bowl tonight. The No.5 Wildcats (11-1), who already have set a school record for victories, speak respectfully of the No. 14 Cornhuskers (9-3), yet their minds race with the thought of beating them.

"When you grow up, all

you think about is the Florida States, the Nebraskas, Notre Dame, Fiesta Bowls, Orange Bowls," quarterback Keith Smith said. "You go, `Will I ever play against that team?'

And now here it comes."

HUMANITARIAN BOWL: In just its third season of Division I play, Idaho (8-3) is thrilled to be anywhere for the first bowl game in school history.

For Southern Miss (7-4), anything less than a big victory will be -a disappointment.

The Golden Eagles began the year with the first preseason ranking in school history be-

fore stumbling to a 1-3 start.

They won six of their last seven to finish second in Conference USA. 4 SUGAR BOWL INJURIES: Both Texas A&M and Ohio State are still missing important receivers.

The Aggies' senior tight end, Derrick Spiller, missed practice because a strained hamstring. He will be re-evaluated today.

Meanwhile, Ohio, State's leading receiver, David Boston, was held out because of a sprained ankle.

Baseball is still several months from a' decision on whether to ban androstenedione, Selig said. He said he hadn't begun to consider the issue.

BIG (BUCKS) UNIT: The Houston Astros want to sit down with pitcher. Randy Johnson before he's free to talk money with other clubs.

Astros General Manager

BASEBALL NOTES Gerry Hunsicker said he's trying to arrange a meeting with Johnson and his agents within the next week. It's enough of a priority that Houston owner Drayton McLane Jr. plans to take part.

FREE AGENTS: Joey Cora and Doug Jones'of the Cleveland Indians were among seven players .filing for free agency.

Also filing were Boston's Tim Naehring, a La Salle High

graduate; Kansas City's Ricky Bones, Minnesota's Terry Steinbach, Oakland's Dave Magadan and St. Louis' Bobby Witt.

Cubs pitcher Mike Morgan became eligible Thursday when Chicago declined his $1.5 million option and elected to pay a $150,000 buyout.

JOYNER BACK: The San Diego Padres re-signed Wally Joyner to a two-year contract that could keep the free-agent first baseman with the club through the 2000 season.

The agreement is worth about $7 million and will pay

177

him slightly less per year than the $3.75 million he made this season, the San Diego UnionTribune reported.

END OF AN ERA: Peter O'Malley, after 48 years of involvement in ownership of the-Los Angeles Dodgers and the last 71/2 months as its chief operating -officer, announced he is leaving the organization at the end of the year.

Sun., Nov. 22: Johnny Bench, Joe Morgan, Ken Griffey Sr., George Foster, Nolan.

The show's promoter is Charles Sotto of CEI Sports.

Dedicated to High School Football in the Keystone State

July - 1998

Big 33 - PA Hosts the Bue

PA's Connection to the NFL Front Office Lock Haven University grad Tim Davey's first assignment in the National FootLeague was as a ballboy with the New York lets during the summer training camp at Hofstra University on Long Island. It was more or less a favor from his high school (Calhoun, Merrick, Long Island) coach Bob Phelps with the hopes that Tim might work his way into the training room- Tim's first love back then.

Cont. Page 15

Demetrious Rich should provide the same electrifying excitement in the Big 33 game as he has done all last fall for Terry Verelli's Wilmington team. The 5-10, 170 speedster should see action on both sides of the ball against Ohio. He holds the Wilmington H.S. record for. the 100-yard dash.

The Big 33 game promises a great show. Both teams have some real bluechippers. So who will come out on top of the contest between two of the greatest high school football states? If you can assess talent by their colleges, then you'd have to give the slight edge to the Ohio team. And if you can believe the heights and weights listed in the program(and time has taught us to be VERY skepti-, cal), then the edge goes to Ohio, too. The Buckeyes tip the scales at an average of 232.38 pounds compared to the Keystoner's 229.7 while the height advantage is 6-2.6"for Ohio over PA's 6-2.4". Ali, but those who have evaluated football know that mere size does not determine the winner, and as some sage once penned,"That is why they bother to show up and play the game." , Pennsylvania features big Dave Armstrong, named to many All-American teams.The CBWest stud can play a powerful fullback, but lie is also a destroyer from a linebacking position. Arlen Harris also figures to be a threat for Pennsylvania with slippery receivers Demetrious Rich and A.J. Nastasi testing the:Ohio secondary. QB Matt Senneca hopes to have time to find these talented receivers with a big line to protect him.

Phillip Jamar Martin figures to get a lot of carries for the Ohio squad. But the PA defense also have to find a way to slow down the fleet wideouts from Ohio.

Gainetime is 7:00 P.M. at Hershey Stadium, on Saturday, July 25. Tickets are,$10.00 for reserved seats and $5.00 for general admission. Are you ready to rumble?

Check out the rosters and some profiles ofplayers inside this tabloid. We profiled those players who responded to our questionnaire.

The head coach of this year's Big 33 team is Jim Cantafio who coached Wyoming Valley West to an outstanding season but is moving to District Continued on page 15

Pennsylvania Edges Maryland 11-7 in Mason-Dixon Shrine Game Pennsylvania's offemse was a bit sluggish in the early going. The defense was superb. But the depth and the perservance ofthe PA team forced some late-game Maryland miscues and the stars from Pennsylvania rose to the task and punched a late TD and field goal to come from behind to defeat Maryland 11-7 at Carlisle's Ken Millen Stadium before a crowd of 5,500.

Pennsylvania Football: Our Mission Developing a tabloid for Pennsylvania football has long been a dream ofmine.

But until "recently, when I retired from the public school syatem at Lock Haven High, I did not have enough hours in the day to do it justice. I .

Along. with Rich Vetock,another Pennsylvania high school sports devotee, I"will attempt to provide even the most:voracious football appetite a serving of football news, stats, fact, and opinions to satiate said appetite.

We hope to provide results, leaders in the many football stat categories, profiles on outstanding coaches and players, interviews, a look back at past heroes as well as much, much more.

We are producing 15 issues plus two bonus issues at a very affordable cost of $30.00 per year.

We are hoping to develop a web of volunteer who will contribute football news,stats, standings, and photos.

Let's face it, Rich and I cannot be everywhere

at once- so we need YOUR help to make this paper be all it can be.Many of you know me through my liigh school wrestling connec-. tions, I was a coach at Lock.

Haven High and then became the tournament director for many PIAA charm; pionship events. I have written for Wrestling USA magazine since 1974 and have'developed a website called Pennsylvania_ Wrestling. I am planning a website as a "sister" publication for this paper. Another vehicle, if you will,. to spread the good news about PA football.

We'd like to become the voice of the RA Football Coaches' Association.

Give them a forum for discussion and opinions. WE fully expect this paper to become a staple in every football coaches' office in the Commonwealth as well as a"must-read"for college football coaches interested in our pool of talent.

Spread the word to someone you know who loves high school football.

Thanks!

Artrell Hawkins, a former Bishop McCort( Johnstown, Pa.)and University of Cincinnati football standout, has already agreed to terms on a contract with the Cincinnati Bengals of the National Football League.

The twenty-one year old Hawkins was a second round choice in the April 18th NFL draft, and became the first of the Bengal draft choices to sign a contract. The contract was reportedly a 3-year deal, worth $500,000.00, per year, with a $700,000.00 signing bonus.

'The Bishop McCort graduate is the highest drafted Cincinnati Resrcat since linebacker Alex Gordon, who was taken in the second round by the New York Jets -in 1987. Hawkins was a four year contributor and a two year starter for the Bearcats. lie had 46 tackles, 13 pass deflections,. and .2 Intercepdons his senior year at Cincinnati.

The early signing bonus allows Hawkins to im- . m:diately concentrate on football in hope of attaining a starting spot in the Bengal lineup.

The Bengals used 3 different starters at right cornerback last year whilecompiling a 7-9 record, the eventh straight year that they failed to make the playoffs.

It appears that Thomas Randolf, a free agent acquisition;has the early edge for the starting spot on the right side, but Hawkins, along with Jimmy Spencer and Corey Sawy~r should provide solid competition.

Larry Hanley, the Executive Director of the WPIAL, announced last spring that the the 1998 football season in tlnv WPIALs consolodated into three nineteam conferences. In essence this gives each ofthe Class 'AAA teams eight(8)conference games, also meaning that most of these teams would open with a conference opponent- quite a change from the past.

Mt. Pleasant coach Paul Tepper likes the change noting that sometimes teams let-up against non-conference foes.

And Woodland Hills' coach George Novak likes the addition of a fourth..place teatu in the plauoffs, noting that Stealer last year was a 7-3 fourth-placer.

Mr. Hanley agreed with Novak's evaluation, emphasizing that the changes would not prolong the season and would give the fourth placer a chance.

Not all is roses, however. In Class AAAA, Central Catholic and Fox Chapel move from the Quad East Conference to the Quad North, while Woodland Hills moves from the North to the East. This move disappointed Fox Chapel because they are the smallest of the Class AAAA schools and now must face the largest.

North Shuts-Down South In Lezzer Lumber Game

The South Rises in-Ken Lantzy Game

June 20th

June 20, 1998 Led by Chestnut Ridge graduates, Jon Claar and Greg Feather,the South team bombarded the North squad, 35-14, in the 28th Annual Ken Lantzy Finest 40 All Star Classic played at Windber Stadium.

Feather caught four passes for 156 yards and three touchdowns and was named the South's offensive player of the game.

Claar completed 5 of7 passes for 166 yards, with two of those going to Feather for scores.

The North, coached by Altoona's Ed Dalton, led 14-0 after one quarter, but the South exploded for 35 unanswered points, with 21 coming in the second frame. The South squad,coached by Bedford's Max Shoemaker,shut down the North offense the rest of the way.

The North scored on runs of5 yards by Bellwood's Don Lingenfelter, and a.2 yard run by quarterback Matt Miller, also ofBellwood, to lead 14-0 after one ,period of play.

The South came right back, in the second stanza scoring three TD"s to take the lead that they never relinquished. Three touchdown passes, two from Claar to Feather and a third from Bedford's Justin Secrest to Westmont's Aaron Peterman accounted for the scoring in that frame. They added two more scores,in4he third frame to set the final at 35-14. .This all-star game originated in 1971 and was named after Ken Lantzy, a former football player at Cambria Heights High School. Lantzy was injured in a 1970 game while making a tackle and was paralyzed. Area football coaches started the Ken Lantzy game in 1971 to help defray cost to his parents for medical bills and rehabilitation expenses. Lantzy went on to graduate from St. Francis College and is a successful insurance man in his home town of Carrolltown,Pa. Proceeds from the game now go to the Spinal Cord Society and provides scholarships to local athletes.Attendance at this year's game was approximately 6,000.'

PFN congratulates Coach Loughran for this well-deserved honor.-

Defense played a large part in the 14th.Annual .Lezzer Lumber All Star Game, played at Altoona's Mansion Park. The game, formerly known as the Unimart All Star Classic,saw Coach Lyle Domico's squad shut down the South ground game on their way to a-solid 21-7 win. The tough defense held the South ground game to 57 yards rushing and 221 total yards in the game. A second period injury to Drew Onkst( Bishop Guifoyle). Blair Couno, Player of the Year, didn't help the South's cause.

The first half was scoreless until the North got things going with a 33 yard scoring strike from Clearfield's Dennis Yohe to Drew Smalley. That set the half-time score at 7-0. Penns Valley's Jason Greeger raced in from 22 yards out in the 3rd frame to up the lead to 14-0.

The South came back to cut the lead to 14-7 on a one yard scoring run'by Jeff Grissinger(Southern Huntingdon ), but on the ensuing drive, the North answered the South score with a 20 yard scamper by State College's Larry Johnson.

Johnson was named the North's offensive MVP and Matt Maggs was name the defensive MVP for Domico's squad. .

Altoona's Josh Geis was cited as the South offensive MVP and Central's Matt Harmon was named defensive MVPfor coach Jim'Zauzig's South squad.

Recently, the Pennsylvania Football News conducted a candid interview with Mr. Joseph,"Bucco" DeRubis, superintendent of Central Cambria School District, Ebensburg, Pa. DeRubis, a 1954 graduate of Ebensburg Cambria High School, has been the school's top administrator since 1989. He was a math teacher and former coach prior to becoming an administrator. We asked him his views concerning the state of high school football in the state ofPennsylvania.

PFN: Mr. DeRubis,what are your basic reservations concerning high school football in the schools today?

DeRubis: Well,I think high school football is in excellent shape. The participation is good. We have approximately 50 boys out for football each year. I think the coaching is much better also. Many of today's coaches have actually playing experience, which is a plus. I also think that students are much more talented than they were when I coached in the 70's. They also devote more time to their particular sport.

PFN: What changes have you seen through the years as a coach and as an administrator?

DeRubis: Well,for one thing, students are bigger and faster than they ever were.

I think students participate in more sports today also, and seem to be much more coordinated and in year round shape. I also think that the coaching is much better. In my day, we had coaches who never played college football, and some coaches who never played high school football. When I was growing up,I didn't have time for sports. I was working construction when I was in 91 grade. Parents, back then, worked in the mills and mines and every bit of money helped the family. We also worked in the summer and in the evenings. Today, they have summer programs. I never had things like that when I was younger. All of the advantages that these students have,today, contribute to thefact that students are better athletes.

PFN: What are your views concerning non-educators as coaches?

DeRubis: Basically, I would prefer someone in education, but that is not always an option. There is definitely a real distinct advantage with a coach being a teacher. The biggest thing is that a teacher commands more respect from students. I have seen students that call coaches, who are not teachers, by their first names. This may seem minor to you, but that is where the word respect comes into play again. I don't think a coach, who isn't a teacher, gets the respect that a teacher does. Even though a non-educator may have played college football, the fact remains that discipline is harder to maintain.

PFN:Is there anyone on the staff here at Central Cambria that doesn't teach?

DeRubis: Oh yes, throughout the system in a lot of our programs, we have noneducators who are coaching. That is the case in all the high schools throughout the state. Most ofthe varsity coaches here teach at the high school. I think this a plus, because when a coach doesn't work in the school system, he usually doesn't know the rules and regulations of the school system. Sports isjust a part of the system and there can be problems ifa coach isn't familiar with the rules. I see this all the time. Let me .give you an example. We have seen problems with coaches not understanding the importance of having eligibility sheets prepared properly and on time. They don't understand the rules of the school or the rules or the RI.A.A. They are not involved in the day-to-day workings of the school system.

This causes problems. Ifyou are in the system, you know theses things. Coaches who teach also have contact with the other teachers and can constantly check the academic progress of the student. A coach who teaches is more apt to that particular student if he needs it. If you are not in the system, you will have a hard time knowing what is happening with your player's academic progress too. It is hard for a coach coming in at the end of a day and expect to be able to know as much about his players.

Dan Marino -- Joe Montana --

- Joe Namath Jacob Smerdon, a member of the North Pocono High School football team has signed to play football at King's College. The 5-foot-11,210-pound Smerdon was a three-year letter-winner at North Pocono where he played linebacker and fullback for coach Tony Donato.

As a senior, Smerdon posted 71 tackles with three quarterback sacks, three fumble recoveries and one forced fumble.

As a fullback, he rushed for 140 yards on 15 carries, averaging 9.3 yards per-carry and scored three touchdowns.

Smerdon, who served as a team captain, earned the Russ Smith Award at North Pocono and was a Bill 11 Conference all-star selection as a senior. He was also selected to play in the annual Lions Dream Game this summer.

John Jenkins,former East Allegheny High School and Pitt star, is a free agent with the Pittsburgh Steelers. The free safety hopes to attain a spot on the Steeler roster. Although never an easy task for a free agent, Jenkins has a good chance because ofsome injuries to players in their secondary.

ManheimCentral Coach Lauds PFN I was delighted when I received a phone call from Rich Vetock recently telling me about the development of a new publication to promote Pennsylvania high school football.

As past president of the Pennsylvania Scholastic Football Coaches Association, I believe that our association needs to continually promote our sport, and our player. Despite the fact that the quality ofPennsylvania is considered one of the best in the nation, we must not take anything for granted.

Also,Pennsylvania presently does not have a publication that has a system to collect and distribute data and information about high school football on a state-wide basis. This paper will set up a network to do this.

This network is desperately needed, and I am hoping that the PSFCA will lend its support to this endeavor. I, myself, intend to provide as much help as I can to the publishers, and the readers across the state will definitely hear about ,he Lancaster-Lebanon League.

The Pennsylvania Football News willbe great reading for the avid fans, players, parents,coaches, and college recruiters. It will be a great asset to me from a coaching standpoint, because it will give me information about what is going on around the state that the local papers can't give me. It will provide information on leagues standings, potential playoff teams, game results, outstanding player performances, big games that are coming up that we may need to scout, what players are hot from a recruiting standpoint, coaching openings and many other interesting facts.

I am hoping that all Pennsylvania football lovers will support the Pennsylvania Football News and that it will be a smashing success!

PA Wins Mason-DixonGame Continued from Page 1 linebacking of Yadin Collins (Harrisburg), allowed a mere 89-yards in total offense while Erie McDowell's fine punter Geoff Heyl pinned the Maryland"O"deep in their own territory time after time. (Geoff's mom also won the autographed football in the half-time drawing.).

In the 4th period (under special rules the periods were 12-minutes), PA. took over tha ball at its own 44. Seven plays later, Paul Northern (Philadelphia Bartram), scooted in the final 7 yards to give PA its, first lead of the game.

Northern amassed 55 yards on the evening on 18 carries. His blocking back Nick Sajone(Shenandoah) had a solid night with ket blocks and 20yards on 11 totes.

Shortly after the PA score, Maryland coughed up the ball in their own territory, and big Greg Dufala recovered. Heyl kicked the final nail in Maryland's coffin with a 32-yard FG, Maryland's only score wasa 13-yard TD passfrom Jason Thompson to Tre Brady. Perhaps the only

ers- all was excellent. Fireworks added to the event.

Frank Snyder did a great job holding his team together for their comeback efforts. As in any All-Star game, many outstanding players do not get the playing time they'd like. That reality may never change. the Shriner's could stand to improve in

one area and that would be pre and post game dissemination of releases to the news media. Outside of the Harrisburg Patriot and the Carlisle Sentinel,few newspapers had any real pregame stories. And ofall the Sunday newspapers- I checked(Bloomsburg Press Enterprise, Centre Daily Times, Williamsport SunGazette, Sunbury Daily Item, The Harrisburg Patriot and the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette), only the Press Enterprise had the results of the game.

- The event was classy, run by a very sincere and dedicated brotherhood.

Their treatmentofthe.press and the fans was superb. We look forward to next year's game already.

LOOKING BACK AT THE BIG 33 40 YEARS AGO On August 9, 1958, the Big 33 Football Classic was born in Hershey when the Pennsylvania All-Star team challenged the national All-American team and emerged victorious, 6-0.

Uniontown High quarterback Sandy Stephens scored the only touchdown on a one-year quarterback sneak in the third quarter.

The All-American team was lead by running back Warren Maccaroni and QB Larry Libertore and Monte Kiffin, who later became head coach at North Carolina State.

Pennsylvania got 158 yards in rushing with Stephens, Williamsporfs Lee Fisher and Al Gursky as rushing leaders.

The All-American team managed just 128 total yards,104 rushing and 14 passing.

30 YEARS AGO Harrisburg's Jimmy Jones scored the only touchdown early in the second period and Middletown's Ed Tennis kicked the extra point as the East nipped the West in the I I th annual Big 33 game held in Hershey.

In 1997Big 33 Football Classic

I'A OVERCOMES OHIO FOR LATE GAME VICTORY When two greatfootball states are brought together in all-star play, one can expect close, hard-fought competition for all 48 minutes. And,it's fitting that the final outcome be decided in the waning seconds. ~Sinw the Ohio-Pennsylvania series resumed in the Big 33 Football"Classic in 1993, the two teams have fr traded wins back and forth,Pennsylvania winning in the odd years(1993 and 1995)and Ohio winning in 1994 and 1996- The pattern appeared certain to be broken in the final minutes ofthe game,but the Pennsylvania allstars snatched victory from defeat withjust three seconds remaining on the clock to nip the Buckeyes, 21-20. the fiEW reading on the scoreboard Ohio dominated the first half and went into the locker room with a 14-7 lead to prove it_ Ohio had the ball for 32 plays in the first half and gained 193 yards, 79 on the ground. On the other hand,the Keystone State held the ball for 20 plays and managed just86 total yards, 30 yards on the ground on 14 flushes.

The Pcimsylvania team played the generous host at the outset of the game as James Mungro fumbled away The opening kickoff 'The visitors gook advantage ofthe miscue on the first play when Derek Combs waltzed into trite end zone untouched for the touchdown and a 7-0 lead.

The Pennsylvania team seemed out of sync through the first quarter and managed its initial first down at H:29ofthe second quarter On isfourth possession ofthe game,the Pennsylvania team faced a fourth.and five situation on the Ohio 43 whcn head coach Jack McCurry from North Hills decided to take the game's first big gamble and go for the first dotvat. Dan Ellis, who led Downingtown to the Class AAAA championship, found Delrico Fletcher behind the Olio secondary and.connected on a 42yard pass to the Ohio one-yard line. North Hills' LaVar Arrington plunged in from there to knot the score at 7-7.

K aged that the two teams would retire to the locker room with the score tied, but the Ohioans had other ideas With nine seconds 1e11 in the send stanza, Andy Keating took the snap from center and dropped lack to pass..Thc paqs miraculously found Coombs at the 20 after the ball deflected offdefender Mycal Jones' hands and he stepped past Jones into the end zone to set the halftime score at 14-7.

Aftr a slow start at the beginning of the third quarter, the Keystone State began to show signs of some offensive spark late in the stanza. With the ball resting on the Pennsylvania 48, McCurry once again decided to roll the dice on another fourth down. Ellis faked a handoff to Arrington and found Wilson tight end John Gilmore wade open for a completion to the Olio 27.

Mungro,the state's top rusher in 1997, redeemed himselffor the earlier fumble by rambling for a 20-yard gain to the seven and then a six-yard rum to the one. Ellis capped the drive with a one-yard quarterback sneak to tie it up again, this time at14-14.

Ohio regained the lead early in the fourth quarter on the strength of its running game. The Ohio running backs pounded the Pennsylvania defensive line on its march downfield. Sean Penny took a quick hitter into the middle ofthe line and broke one tackle and sprinted to paydirt from 20 yards out. The critical placement was missed to set the score at 20-14. The Pennsylvania team came roaring back when Mungro gave the home team greatfield position as hetook the kickoffback to midfield. After gaining eight yards in two plays, Mungro reeled offa 34-ymd nm to the Ohio eight. However,it appeared the localschances disappeared when Richard Newsome stomped in froni'ofRiverview's Ben Erdeljac and made a fourth down interception in the end zone.

The Ohio team took the ball and drove it past midfield on its powerful ground game,but Jason Flora's 48yard fief goal attempt was wide, giving Pennsylvania one last chance with 1:24 left in the game.' Cont. Page 17

Cedar Cliffs Jerry Giffin was one of the two defensive stalwarts for the East as he tackled the punter on the four-year line to set up the Jones touchdown. He later blocked the extra point attempt by Gary Helman ofthe West team late in the first half.

Bishop Egan's Gary Gray also led the East defensive team with tenacious pursuits and limited the West to 115 yards in total offense.

20 YEARS AGO "The 21st annual Big 33 game featured the powerful running of backs Barry Compton and Charlie Wysocki from Wilkes Barre Meyers and the quarterbacking ofTerry Rakowski from North Schuylkill as the East overpowered the West, 28-6.

The East defensive unit shut down the powerful West attack led by quarterbacks Jim Kelley, Frank Rocco and Dan Daniels, along with running back Joel Coles. The West's lone score.came on a 95 yard.kickoff return following a East team score by Darnell Richardson.

The East defense boosted names like Mike Munchak, Dave Patella, Mike Corvino, John Kreider, Dan Lute, Gerry Rogers and JeffOgden. Ogden,from Steelton-Highspire,sacked Rocco three times and was named the Most Valuable Player.

The East led 7-0 at halftime on a Compton touchdown and made it 10-0 on a Rakowsky field goal early in the second half.

The North Schuylkill grad then connected on a 64-yard TD pass to Jeff Wert on the first series of the fourth quarter to run the score to 16-0.

Wysocki scored from the one to make the score 22-0 before Richardson got the West on the board. Mount Carmel's Bob Zavarich closed outthe scoringon a 56-yard scamper, the longest run from scrimmage ofthe game.

10 YEARS AGO Mother Nature might have been the big winner in the 31 st annual Big 33 game held in Hershey, Pennsylvania, leading 2113, was declared the winner when a violent thunderstorm called a halt to the game at halftime. A crowd of 17,334 attended the game, but few were left in the stands as the spectacular thunder and lightning exhibition ensued.

After Maryland took a 3-0 lead on the first possession of the game, the Pennsylvania team took the game's second offensive possession all the way for a touchdown. Quarterback Bruce Keyshitawide open Richard Reyes fora 74-yard scoring strike and Tony Guadagnino added the placement for a 7-3 lead.

The two teams traded scores back and forth until Hackenberg passed to Ismael for a touchdown with 23 second left in the halfto end the game scoring.

There were opposing 'coaches who begged to dif.fer with thatassessment. In`tliana University ofPennsylvania head coach, Frank Cignetti called him"the dif(erence maker". And Shippensburg's Rocky Meese added,"He's the only ;;quarterback in our confer~'nce who could have beaten *s today. I'm convinced of ihat his accomplishAients, McKavish was named the Player ofthe Year in the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference for 1998. This was the first 4ime in the history of the conference that a freshman ,won this award. He also *ained the Offensive Player Hof the Year award, and the `PSAC Rookie of the Year j)rize.. He broke the total loffense record with 2, 558 yards, set by his predecessor Chad Vogt, and broke the single season rushing recordsfor a quarterback by running for 607 yards. He led"The Rock" to the PSAC West title, and took his team to the NCAA Division II quarterfinals where they eventually lost to a powerful New Haven (CT)team, 49-21.

In his senior year at Central Cambria High School (Ebensburg,Pa.), McKavish led the Red Devils to the PIAA Class AAA semi-final where they lost to powerhouse Sharon by a 13-12 score. Only a solid defensive play by Sharon prevented Central Cambria from converting a two-point conversion and pulling off the upset.

He led that team deeper into the playoffs than any other Central Cambria team. Head Coach Ken

)

Bussard said, "Randy is a winner,bottom line. He's an intense competitor, and he doesn't settle for anything less than first place."

In his senior year, the 6', 190 pound quarterback passed for 1434 yards and 15 touchdowns. He also rushed 90 times for738 yards and 13 touchdowns.

Bussard stated ,â&#x20AC;˘" Randy's greatest characteristic was his leadership. He is most definitely a leader.

He does what it takes to get the job done."

Bussard continued,"He is a playmaker. He may not have been the biggest, strongest, or fastest player on the field, but he made the plays when they had to be made."

Because ofall his accomplishments, McKavish garnered numerous honors during his senior season. They included: * Laurel Highlands AllConference Team * 1995 Tribune Democrat Player of the Year * 1995 Tribune Democrat First Team Offense and First Team Defense * 1995 Altoona Mirror Player of the Year * 1995 Altoona Mirror First Team Offense and First Team Defense * 1995 Associated Press First Team All State * Big 33 Nomineefor Player of the Year * Ken Lantzy Finest 40 All Star Team While commenting on McKavish's career at Central Cambria, Bussard had these words to say about him,"We always said that Randy was"The spoon that stirred the soup". Opposing coaches would gear their defense to stopping him and that opened things up for other players. He is an "A Number One" kid."

Most of the area fans knew of McKavish's offensive prowess, but his defensive backfield coach, "Stush" Klezek felt he was equal if not better on the defensive side of the ball. `Randy was simply a leader", he stated."He was the type of athlete that took control out there.

He just performs in all different elements and he performs well."

When queried about the recruiting of the star quarterback, Mihalik, answered, "We were looking for a kid that could possibly be a four year starter. Vic Campagna, who recruits in that area, came to me and said, " Coach, this one is yours.

Don't lose him. I recruited him hard. He was from my hometown and I didn't want to let him go."

The elder McKavish wanted to attend a school where he could play basketball also,and Slippery Rock did, indeed, fit the bill. He started on the basketball team at Slippery Rock the past season.

Mihalik has no qualms about Randy playing basketball at the school. "Randy was a vital player for the basketball team. I was never opposed to his playing basketball. That is his competitive nature. Another thing is that randy is a super kid off the field too. He carries a QPA of over 3.0 and his competitive attitude is contagious. "He is such a joy to coach and he has gained the respect of his teammates and the opposition, I'm sure."

Mihalik sounded enthusiastic when Ryan's name came into the conversation.

"First ofall", he stated,"We love to have brothers play here at"The Rock". It is a compliment to our program and the entire family can come to watch both boys play."

Dr. George Mihalik, head coach at "The Rock", stated, "Randy performed far and beyond any expectations as a freshman. He made veteran type decisions. He knew when to throw,or tuck the ball in and run. He has this tremendous "sense" of knowing when there is pressure. His foot quickness is amazing, and he can only get better in the next three years."

Back then not only did Bill Hampton and I do our jobs as equipment' manager and trainer, but Weeb expected us to cut the grass and line the field. Things have really changed since then."

Tim was out of football for a couple years working in an athletic clinic when he was asked by Jim Kensil to assume .the duties ofDirector of Operations for the New York Jets under coach Walt Michaels. Tim also served in this capacity for several years under Joe Walton.

In 1991 Tim served in the same capacity for the London Monarchs for the World Football League. That was the year the Monarchs were champions.

- In the fall of 1991, he was asked to fill an opening in the NFL front office as an assistant of game operations.

And he has been working in that position ever since, responsible for running pre-season and playoffgames as well as regular season contests. .Davey told PA Football News that part of his duties this year will include monitoring instant replay and setting up the Hall ofFame Game in Canton, Ohio, where Pittsburgh will meet Tampa Bay. A longtime supporter ofhis alma mater, Davey is actively promoting the Dave Tomasi Scholarship Fund: Tomasi has retired from his position at, Lock Haven University as the head ofthe Training Department.

"Dave Tomasi was at Lock Haven only one year(1973-74)that I attended. He replaced John Worgan who is now running successful training clinics at Cape Cod. But Dave Tomasi is the reason that the Lock Haven Training is known and well-respected statewide and nationwide. He in an endless worker. I don't think lie has received the recognition lie deserves either at the university or nationally.

Tim recently attended an athletic train- ers' convention where

he spoke to the LHU grads there on behalf of endowing the Dave Tomasi Scholarship.

"I came on pretty strong there," he laughed, "but I do feel that we all need to get behind this. I'm working with Lynn Lytle of the Lock Haven University Foundation to promote this."

Donations may be made to the Lock Haven University Foundation, Lock Haven, PA 17745 noting for Dave Tomasi Scholarship.

Mr. Davey said that he felt the PA Football News was a great idea and that he has the utmost respect for football players from Pennsylvania.

"Pennsylvania has consistently produced great football players collegiately and in the pros. This gives the fans in PA and across the nation a chance to find out all about what's going on in Pennsylvania football.

And knowing Tom Elling, I know the effort will be there. I urge the real football fans to subcribe to this newspaper." >k>k*>k>k>k**>k

Mihalik continued with his accolades, "His competitive nature is exceptional.

Hejust simply finds a way to win, and weather has no ill affect on his performance. He just performs in different elements and he performs well."

When queried about the recruiting of the star quarterback, Mihalik, answered,"We were looking for a kid that could possibly be a four year starter.

Vic Campagna, who recruits in that area,came to me and said,"Coach,this one is yours. Don't lose him. I recruited him hard.

He was from my hometown and I didn't want to let him go."

The elder McKavish wanted to attend a school where he could play basketball also, and Slippery Rock did, indeed, fit the bill. He started on the basketball team at Slippery Rock the past season.

Mihalik has no qualms about Randy playing basketball at the school.

"Randy was a vital player for the basketball team. I was never opposed to his playing basketball. That his competitive nature.

Another thing is that randy is a super kid offthe field too. He carries a QPA of over 3.0 and his competitive attitude is contagious. "He is such a joy to coach and he has gainedrespect ofhis teammates and the opposition, I'm sure."

Mihalik sounded enthusiastic when Ryan's name came into the conversation. "First of all", he stated,"We love to have

brothers play here at"The Rock". It is a compliment to our program and the entire family can come to watch both boys play." He added," Ryan will bring the same competitiveness that Randy has. respect of his teammates and the opposition,I'm sure."

He is bigger physically and has the same speed as Randy has.

Physically he is ready to play, but we will have to see how he does at camp to see if he is mentally ready to play as a true freshman.

We have him tentatively slated as a wide receiver, butwe won't rule out his playing on the defensive side of the ball." .

Since the brothers are from the same town as their coach, they bring a special type of pride to him. "I think that what makes me the most proud is the fact that the hometown connection there and both theses boys have been awarded the scholarship in my father's name."

That makes it all worthwhile" Slippery Rock lost eight seniors from last year's squad, but they should be strong again this year.

Mihalik finished his assessment by saying," As long as Randy McKavish is on the field, we have a chance to win."

It appears that Slippery Rock is going to be a force for the next three years with the McKavish brothers leading the way and coach Mihalik isn't going to complain about that at all.

Mr. Ronald Ponchione,Assistant Superintendent of Schools at Central Cambria in Ebensburg, Pa is the tournament director for the George Mihalik, Sr. Golf Tournament This tournament was set up to honor the memory of George Mihalik, Sr.,the father of Slippery Rock head coach, George Mihalik.

The proceeds from this event help to provide financial aid to athletes who wish to continue their careers at Slippery Rock After playing in a similar event at Slippery Rock, Ponchione and a few friends decided that it would be a nice gesture ifthey could start a tournament in Dr. Milialik's hone town ofEbensburg, Pa. They started the first tournament 8 years ago, and the proceeds were to go to a football player from Cambria County.

Ponchione said, " All the proceeds for the Slippery Rock Tournament were divided among several sports, and we thought it would be a nice gesture if we held our own tournament which would benefit the Rock football team."

Ponchione continued," We feel that we have an outstanding tournament here at the Ebensburg Country Club." " We generally have 14 to 15 foursomes every year, and we have another 15-20 non-players who contribute to the event."

The Sharpsville Gridiron Club would like to extend their best wishes in 1998 to Coach Paul Piccirilli and the Sharpsville Blue Devils.

DAUBER STARS IN D4 NORTH WIN Paced by the scoring prowess of Jersey Shore's Chris Dauber, the North squad topped the South in the 8th annual District 4 All-Star football game 13-2. The contest was played at South Williamsport's Rod Morgans Stadium on Saturday, June 27.

Dauber produced almost all the offensive fireworks in the game as he was named the North's Most Valuable Player. Dauber hauled in just two passes for 139 yards in the game, but both catches went for touchdowns.

The North posted a strong defensive effort as evidenced by the opening series for the South squad. After Milton's Justin Pauling ran back the opening kickoff to the North 43-yard line, the first play from scrimmage

for the South resulted in a Rick Bastian interception, one of three on the night.

The North struck quickly as Jersey Shore's Joe Feerar drilled a 71-yard scoring strike to teammate Dauber on the North's first offensive touch.

Loyalsock's Brent Yaggi tacked on the extra point to put the North up, 7-0.

Dauber worked himself free again in the second quarter for his second score of the game. He ran a fan route and Mucy's Jamie Campbell hit him in stride for a 68-yard touchdown bomb.

Yaggi missed the PAT and the North led 13-0.

The rest ofthe game became a defensive battle as both squads tried to find the offensive combination in to no avail.

The North's Jeremy Gonzalez

from Sayre led all rushers with 47 yards on 13 carries, while Montgomery's D.J. Flick paced the South effort with 7 carries and 44 yards.

The two squads combined for just 133 yards of rushing on the game!

The only South score came when Campbell stepped out of the end zone to avoid a sack and give the South a safety.

Bastian was named North's defensive MVP while Milton's Robert Miller, who recorded seven tackles, four assists and two sacks, won the same honor for the South squad.

Paling was voted the South's MVP. The event,sponsored by the South Williamsport Lions Club, attracted between 1,500-2,000 fans.

Cont.from Page 13 Pennsylvania, with its back to the wall, took advantage its last opportunity to seize victory. After an Ellis completion was nullified by a penalty, the Downingtown product found Gilmore on a post pattern for a 33yard gainer to the Ohio 47. Coach McCurry called timeout with 26 seconds left after Ellis completed a 13-yarder to Edreljac and then a three-yard pass to Mungro left the team on the Ohio 31.

Two critical penalties late in the game aided the Pennsylvania cause. With obvious confusion on the Buckeye sideline, the Ohio team was penalized for twelve men on the field. On the next play, Arrington was tripped by the Ohio defender and a flag went down with 10 seconds left on the clock.

Few athletes are.dedicated; talented and motivated enough to be AllState and All-American in two separate sports, but the feature of our Photo Album colutru' achieved that distinction in high and college. In addition, his physical and mental attributes allowed him to become one of the top players in the history of the American Football League.

The feature of this issue's Photo Album column is Pennsylvania super,athlete, the late Jim Nance. Nance graduated.from Indiana High School in 1961 but not before earning All-State honors in football and State Championship status .in wrestling. Jim won the PIAA title at heavyweight in 1960 and 1961. He attended Syracuse University where he was an All-American running back for the Orangeman and a twotime NCAA wrestling champion at heavyweight in 1963 and 1965. . Nance possessed amazing speed and quickness for big man, abilities which convinced the New England Patriots to draft him right out of college. Nance played for the Patriots from 1965 through 1971. He is the team's second leading career rusher with 5,323 yards on 1,323 carries, behind Sam Cunningharn's 5,453. Nance also rushed for 45 touchdowns,and ranks sixth all-time in scoring for the Patriots. He also caught 133 passes for 870 yards and one touchdown.

Nance set the AFL rushing record of 1,458 yards in 1966 when he was named the league's most valuable player. He also was the league's top rusher the next season with 1,216 yards. Jim was forced to undergo ankle surgery following the 1968 season, but came back to rush for 750 yards in 1969 and was named the AFL's comeback player of the year.

Afterthe 1971 season, Nance was traded to thePhiladelphia Eagles, but did not play. .After sitting out the 1972 season, Nance was signed by the New York Jets, rushing for 78 yards in seven games and catching four passes for 26 yards.

Nance also played two seasons with the Old World Football League.

Nance played in the 1961 Big 33 game and served as the Honorary Chairman in 1989. Crippled by a severe stroke in 1983, lie never gave up, a trait consistent with the personality of this fine gentleman..

Jim Nance died on Tuesday, June 16, 1992 at his home in Boston.

South Park Shuts out South Williamsport

In the final P.I.A.A. State Championship game of 1997, Central Bucks West rushed for a total of509 yards over an overmanned Upper St. Clair football team.

USC coach Jim Render was well aware ofthe size differential. "They are so big, I don't know what you do to stop them."

Indeed, there was no stopping the likes of Dave Armstrong, Corey Potter, and Scott Warden. Each had over 100-yards rushing- en route to setting several P.I.A.A. Championship game records.Armstrong, the Class AAA P.I.A.A. 275-pound wrestling runner-up, scored four (4) touchdowns, Warden (167 yards on six carries) broke loose for an 80-yard TD jaunt, and ,as mentioned, the team amassed 509 rustling yards.

The Big School coach-of-the-year Mike Pettine said that he felt the Bucks could run on USC but never dreamed it would be to the tune of 500+ yards. He also credited his big offensive line for opening the holes for his talented backfield.

This game was the final one played in Altoona at least for a few years as RI.A.A. Executive Director Brad Cashman decided that the Hershey Stadium would better serve the Championship Games. Pettine wondered out loud if the Hershey turf could take the four-game beating and hold up, while Render was critical of the Altoona facility, complaining specifically about the locker rooms and the hard playing surface.

The Commodores of Perry Traditional Academy from District 8's City League couldn't believe it. Perhaps not even the Berwick faithful could either. But as time wound down,PIAA perennial finalists cooly lined up for the game-winning FG, and Jared Bryson delivered on a 21-yard shot with just nineteen ticks of the Mansion Park clock left.

Rod Rutherford, thejunior do-everything player for Perry, seemed to have the game under control as Perry jumped out to a 14-0 lead And with a rock-solid and extremely quick defense, Perry had even Bulldog patriarch George Curry scratching his head.

Fate favored the 'Dawgs as hardrunning Chuck Griffy coughed up the ball deep in Berwick territory.

Griffy had played a big part of the Perry offense all day long. Berwick, cool and composed, marched down the field to knot the score at 14 with just 3:43 to go in the contest.

That set the stage for Bryson's heroics.

This was Berwick's fourth staright state championship and the sixth since playoffs were initiated in 1988.

Coincidentally, it was Perry who handed the Bulldogs their only PIAA final loss. That was in 1989 byt he score Of 20-8.

'Gus Cantanese will return both Rutherford ,and Griffy and should be a force in 1998.

Chad Morris paved the way for a steady ground attack with 63 yards and two scores to lead the western champion over a very tough South Williamsport team, 20-0.

Brian Guzek added 44 yards and a score of his own to thwart the Mounties.

South Park's head coach Tom Loughran dredited his defense with a superb game but added that his offense played tough, as well.

South Williamsport(home ofbaseball's Little League World Series) played hard, too, but perhaps the key play ofthe game was an unsportsmanlike conductflag against the Mounties after they had held on a 29-yard field goal attempt. South Park used that turns if events to punch the ball in shortly thereafter.

This was the Mounties secodn trip to the PIAA finals, and they were on the losing end both times.

South Park made good on their initial quest for the gold.

South Williamsport is coahed by former Lock Haven University player Rich Zalonis.

Sharpsville Edges Riverside, 10-7 In a real nailbiter, Sharpsville made fewer mistakes in subduing Riverside.

Aaron VanZante's 25-yard FG put the winners on the board in the second period. This was the first FG made in a Class A title game since the inception of the PIAA State Playoffs.

Bith teams appeared to be snakebitten as the officials tossed the yellow flag sz;renteen (17) times.

Sharpsville ended up with the edge there- a dubious distinction.

Trailing late in the game, Riverside was marching under the masterful direction of QB Harry Armstrong.

But perhaps, trying to do too much, Armstrong reached out in an attempt for that extra yard and the goalline, but fumbled in the effort. Brad Watson recovered for Sharpsville and the defense did the rest.

This was the third straight.year that a team from Mercer County won the Class A gold.

Paul Piccirilli, head coach at ,Sharpsville, praised his defense which allowed just 99-yards rushing.

Mike Petine, Sr. Big School Coach of the Year Central Bucks West's head coach Jim Petine, Sr. was named the AP Big School Coach of the Year for 1997. This marked the second such honor for Pettine as he had also been honotred in 1988, the first time the AP presented the award.

His 1997 team went 15-0 capping the season with a lopsided win over gper St. Clair.

While the team's star was big Dave Armstrong, this year's squad was more than a one-man show. Two other backs went over the century rushing mark in the PIAA championship win.

He was quoted as not expecting this team to be as good as it became. Many thought that stopping Dave Armstrong 'would be enough to stop CBW. No one could do cither.

PA Football Opinion - Joe DeRubis ...

PFN: What do you think we can do to make high school football more attractive to students, parents and coaches?

I also feel that the playoffs are nothing more than a money generating vehicle for the P.I.A.A. That is the way I feel about it!

DeRubis: I don't know what we can do to make football more attractive. To be honest with you, I would like to propose making it less attractive!

PFN: Two years .go, Central Cambria advanced to the Western final and came within a few seconds of advancing to the state championship game. The entire school and the community seemed to be brought together to share in the excitement of this outstanding season. Wasn't that a positive thing for the school and community?

DeRubis: Well, we have sports all year for the avid fan, if they are truly interested. We are not here for the fans anyway. Are we running these programs for the fan and parents or for the students? These programs are supposed to be for the benefit of the students, period!

PFN: Isn't that type of thinking somewhat archaic?

Today,everything has changed.

DeRubis: I don't agree with the change. If we would leave things up to the coaches, we would have even more problems with sports. The season is already too long, and besides, these kids start way too early as it is. Look at all the midget leagues around in all sports. What happens to a lot of them when they reach high school.

They quit. They are just burned out from all the pressure that fans and parents put on them. I see parents, fans,and coaches criticizing theseyoungstersoll the time.

You would think they are making $2 million dollars a year, sometimes.

PFN: But don't you think that these programs are essential if a school wants to compete regularly with other schools?

DeRubis: No. I really don't think that is true. They will still be able to compete and ifa coach is truly interested in simply developing an athlete, why bother to keep score at a lower level? The fans and the students are always trying to imitate professional athletes, which is, quite frankly, ridiculous. How many of these students are going to snake to the professional ranks? We have had one football player in the history ofour school make it to the NFL. Should we change our way of thinking for a rare, select few? I don't think so!

Coaches become too demanding. They want summer -

Among 12 Selected for the College Football Hall-of-Fame Bilf Fralic, OT,Pittsburgh, was 6th in the Heisman Trophy voting in 1984 and played pro ball for the Atlanta Falcons from 1985-92 and the Detroit Lions in 1993.

Bill played his high school football at Penn Hills in suburban Pittsburgh.

Others selected were BradBuddhe,Randy Gradishar, Bo Jackson, Mel Long, Jim McMahon, Jim Richter, and Bill Stanfill

Altoona's Buddy, Geis Coaching with the Dallas Cowboys Buddy Geis was an outstanding part of the famed Altoona football teams in their "golden" era. His teammates included such names as Mike Reid, John Ebersole, and Chuck Brenner. The head coach was revered Earl Strohm.

Geise then went on to play his college football at Lock Haven University where he played for another legend Herb Jack.

Geis has had a long string of coaching experience in both college and pro ball. It seemed that everywhere Lindy Infante went, Buddy was quickly picked for his staff.

He will now be on the Dallas sidelines after serving last for the Indianapolis Colts.

He has always been one ofthe hardest-.working assitstant coaches in the pros. Hopefully. his energies will lead him to a head coaching job in the very` near future.

Thefootball plover when interviewed about the head coach.."The coach treats us like men.. he lets us wear earrings."

PFN: But don't the playoffs create betterfan interest?

-

DeRubis: You are right. I don't believe in the.state playoff system and I have a few reasons why. I won't put them in any order, since they are all important to me as far as being negatives.

To start with, weather, is.very important, especially in this area of the state, Tlils definitely a detriment in this part ofPennsylvania.

Playoffs also cut into the other programs and I believe that doesn't help the athletes at all. They do nothing as far as enhancing potential scholarships for these athletes either.

Remember,in a small district such as Central Cambria's, a lot ofthe students participate in multiple sports and it isn't fair for them to commit to only one sport.

-

PFN: I know that you are strongly opposed to the state playoffsystem Would you like to explain why you are adamant about this?

DeRubis: I will make one final statement and this certainly sum up my views concerning sports in general at the high school level.

If some parents would show as much interest in academics as they do in sports, our classrooms, our classrooms would be filled with "Super Stars".

__

DeRubis: First of all, I look for a teacher. That is absolutely my first priority. I fell strongly that if you are a good teacher, you will be a good coach. Checking resumes and backgrounds of the applicants is vital also. I want an individual who can develop a strong rapport with the student, which helps in the participation process and also with the development ofthe student, both, academically and athletically.

I also check to see if the applicant has solid ties with the community. We are always concerned about negatives, such as dissension in the classroom, the practice field and in the community. We try to screen an applicant as best as we can.

PFN: Would you care to make a final statement today?

-

PFN-'When hiring a coach, are there certain attributes that you consider more than others?

DeRubis: Yes, of course, that was a positive, but how often is that going to happen. There are many more negatives that positives. I don't believe in playoffs in any sports. I think we are exploiting students. Sure there are afew students who want the playoffs, but there are others who don't want to see the season extended.

Remember, these students are 16-17 years old, and it always seems like the fans want them to dedicate their lives to a sport. Less than 95% of these students will go on to college and play varsity sports, so why extend the season. Let's allow them to have fun and then move on to the next sport.

--

DeRubis: To be perfectly honest with you, I must say that some are excellent and some are a hindrance to the school system because they find a way to work around the school district's policies. If there is something they don't like, they take it outside the school and we have no control over it. Here is an example.

We have an All Sport's Banquet here at Central Cambria each,year. I was never in favor of having a banquet for each individual sport as some booster clubs have. Ifone sport has one, then they all want to have their own. So, what Happens?Booster clubs have them outside the school system. I really don't care about that, but a lot of times, people don't understand that when they do something for their sports, every other sport wants the same. This makes it difficult for an administrator. The sports without booster clubs want the same thing and the school district can't afford a banquet for each sport. Some booster clubs buy jackets and shirts and other things. Athletes in the nonspectator sports feel that they should have the same things and this, again, presents a problem. In Pennsylvania,football is"King" and there are so many parents and fans who get involved with the sport and this makes it easier than non spectator sports such as tennis, golf, cross country, etc.

programs and want this students to dedicate their entire high school career to one sport and what happens after they graduate? Their careers are over at that point anyway.

These kids need time off to swim, to ski, to golf, or whatever they enjoy doing. Are the coaches really interested in the students or are they more concerned with their record?

-

PFN:What is your opinion offootball booster clubs?

"This year in Cincinnati it's hard to tell," Turpin coach Gail Maundrell said."There's a lot of young kidsfrom club teams who could come in and do well."

Four talented freshmen, all from club teams, join veteran Sara Yund at Anderson.

The newcomers are Lindzi Howard, a transfer from Connecticut who spe' cislines in the floor exercise, Kelli Lagemann (all around), Kim Madden(allaround) and Karina Murray lbw)•

Although Sycamore returns only Katie Farr,along with experienced club gymnast Shuba Singh, the Aviators have performed well in early season meets and could be a factor later in the season.

Centerville and Troy are the teams to beat in Southwestern Ohio with Dublin Coffman and Rocky River Magnificat the Northern powers.

We saw Troy last week at an invitational and they were tough," Maundrell said."We haven'tseen Centerville butI understand they took first through fifth place in the bars at an invitational."

Ten local schools are fielding teams this season, Walnut Hills is the newcomer.

The other Cincinnati schools are Lakota East, Seven Hills, Cincinnati Country Day, Edgewood and Hamilton Badin.

These teams will compete for in Februthe city championship ' o oweri bY +I,ha ary at Tu m f-11regional meet to determine the

GYMNASTICS

Christy Hester, a four-time state qualifier for Lakota, takes over as coach at Lakota West Hester looksfor Nicole Lyme, a level 10 gymnast who is out until late January with a broken foot, to lead the way along with Andria Bauer and Katie Popoft. ' "I'm pretty excited and thrilled with the girls," said Hester, a senior atthe University of Cincinnati. `We have a lot of good individuals and they all supporteach other."

Although Maundrell prefers the underdog role forTurpin,the Spartans can't be taken lightly.

Sara Scheeren,a transfer from Boca Raton, Fla.,joins returning veterans Stephanie Autry (uneven bars), Liz Engelhardt (all-around), Christine Dietz (allaround) and Andrienne Prem (floor exercise).

missed Monday's 4-2 loss to Colorado with a strained right shoulder. It was the first man-game lost to injury by a Ducks defenseman this season. In comparison, the Avalanche's defense corps has lost 98 man-games to injury. When Ducks coach Craig Hartsburg was asked about his defense corps' good health, he simply said, "Knock on wood." The Ducks were without D Ruslan Salei for five games to start the season, but that was because of his suspension for slew-footing Phoenix's Daniel Briere.

Calgary: He hasn't been used much and now he's with Canada at the World Junior Championships, but rookie RW Rico Fata thinks moving to the NHL was best for him. "It was the right move for me because I already had three years of junior," said Fata, who has one assist in 20 games. "I needed to play with bigger, faster guys to improve my game."

Colorado: Colorado's once-fearsome power play broke a 0-for-28 streak Monday night in Anaheim on Milan Hejduk's goal. That goal was the fourth in 56 previous attempts, as the Avalanche have dearly missed unsigned power-play quarterback Sandis Ozolinsh....

Even though Amonte has chipped in 31% of his team's goals, he doubts he will finish the season as the league's highest scorer. But even with all the attention on him,he said he will get his chances.

"You have to be patient," he said. "And that's the way you have to look at it. You can't try to force anything. Just be patient and let it happen.... I try not to think about scoring goals, because when I do, they never happen."

Western Conference

Chicago Blackhawks winger Tony Amonte figures these tighter-checking days mean the huge goal totals of the 1980s and early 1990s will remain a thing of the past.

"Everybody is a better skater now and everybody can-play defense," he said, "And teams key in on defense and try to win games that way. I think 30 goals is de ef_nitely a good year.

"Anything over 40 is great."

Using that logic, Amonte is probably in the fabulous range.

With a league-leading 22 goals in his first 32 games, he's on pace to score 56 goals, 15 more than his career high in 1996-97.

Amonte had a good season by his yardstick last season, scoring 31 goals. This season, though, he's benefiting from the crackdown on obstruction and other rules changes designed to open up the offense, "The new structure definitely helps goal scorers, especially coming through the neutral zone," he said. "It makes for a more free-skating game."

Skating is Amonte's game.

His speed helps him break free, drive to the net and bang in Alexei Zhamnov's setups.

Amonte's explosion is one of the few bright spots on the Blackhawks, who missed the playoffs last season for the first time since 1969 and have struggled to score. Eric Daze is next in line with nine goals.

The team seemed to turn its game around in early December, but it slipped again and has only seven goals in its last five games, going 0-4-1.

But Amonte believes there's plenty of talent on the Blackhawks, particularly after the signing of Doug Gilmour.

"He really helped out on the power play," Amonte said.

"He's still got a couple of good years left in him, and it's great to have him. Now we have two pretty good goal-scoring lines and not just one where another team can key in on.

"I think his points are down a little bit from when he was in his heydays in Toronto and Calgary, but it all doesn't have to

Off to fast start: Tony Amonte (10) of the Blackhawks doesn't expect huge goal totals, but he already has scored 22 times. looks frightening from the bench," said coach Ken Hitchcock, whose team is in the midst of a five-game trip. "He's going to scare his kids when he gets back," Detroit: The scene wasn't quite as dramatic as when he climbed on the ice after the Red Wings won the 1997 Stanley Cup, but Scotty Bowman is back on skates. The Detroit coach has been supervising practices on-ice recently for the first time since knee-replacement surgery in August. "I couldn't walk without pain before," Bowman said. "That's a big plus. If you can't walk, you can't do much. You can't enjoy life, you can't go to the restaurant, you can't go the store, you can't get in the car."

Edmonton: C Doug Weight has been given the OK to resume light skating after tearing a ligament in his right knee Oct. 28. "I'm excited just to twirl around," said Weight, who will wear a brace initially. He hopes to return around the Jan. 21 All-Star breal~ ... GM Glen Sather dismissed broadcast speculation that coach Ron Low could be in trouble. "There's absolutely no truth to this at all," Sather said.

"Ronnie's done an exceptional job."

Los Angeles: Newly acquired RW Donald Audette satisfied the Kings' offensive hopes by getting goals in his first two games. "Donald loves to compete and he goes

to the net with purpose," said GM Dave Taylor, who sent the Sabres a second-round draft pick.

Nashville: The last time the Predators faced the Red Wings, tonight's opponent,they were outshot 57-15 and lost 5-2 in Detroit. Their goal tonight is to show how much they've improved since that Oct. 21 game."The time before, we kind of watched them skate around for two periods," D J.J. Daigneault said. "This time, we have to play right away." ... G Eric Fichaud (shoulder) is probable'tonight.

Phoenlx: The Coyotes' defensive success is having a carryover effect. C Bob Corkum, who anchors the checking line, is being mentioned as a contender for the Selke Trophy, given to the NHL's top defensive forward. "Absolutely," captain Keith Tkachuk said."He's definitely a candidate. No question."

Corkum also has led Phoenix's No. I-ranked penalty-killing unit.

St. Louis: LW Pavol Demitra is the NHL's top-scoring Slovakian and ranks fifth among Europeans with 16 goals and 32 points. He's also a steal compared to the Islanders' Zigmund Palffy, a Slovak who signed a five-year, $26 million contract last week. Demitra, on pace for 47 goals and 94 points, signed a two-year contract extension in October that pays $800,000 this season, $1.1 million next season and

The Pavel Bure soap opera has thickened with another country apparently entering the picture.

Calgary Flames winger Valeri Bure,Pavel's younger brother, said the president of a Belarus club team has made an offer to have the suspended Vancouver Canucks star play next season.

The offer, though unconfirmed, is thought to be in the $4 million range taxfree. Pavel Bure has sat out to try to force a trade.

"I don't know what Vancouver is going to do, but he might not even come back here." Valeri said."He might play in Belarus and make 1 the same type of money that he would here, "That's what (Pavel) said on television. If nothing happens this year, he would probably go and play for Belarus. It is a big statement for him to make in front of a lot of people."

The Canucks don't seem concerned, noting that if Pavel signs before July 15,they can still trade hist rights to an NHL team.

From staff reports

$1.3 million in the final year. Coach Joel Quenneville, however, said Demitra won't be considered as good as Palffy until he does it over time. "He still has to get better to catch up with Palffy," Quenneville said. Demitra plays with countrymen Michal Handzus and Lubos Bartecko."You can't understand a word they're saying out there, but the Slovaks are playing great," C Craig Conroy said.

San Jose: The Sharks have been playing better of late, and defense and goaltending is the reason. G Mike Vernon has allowed one goal in each of the last four games, going 3-1. The team has allowed two or fewer goals in eight of their last nine games. They haven't allowed more than three goals in nine games and in 14 of their last 15.

Walt Roeckers holds Roger Bacon's careerTD (33) and rushing (3,100 yards) records. So Dean needs is a 1,300-yard, 11 TD season.

Based on his work during the offseason,that is within reach for the6foot-1,195-pound senior.

"Last year was amazing," said Cohen,who adds this year's team goal is to get in the playoffs.

so-Coach: Bernie Barre (19639) to-Will succeed if Richard Hall runs for more than 2,000 yards again this season, which, barring injury, would seem likely.

Wyoming's system.has long been geared toward star running backs, but a strong senior finale would leave little doubt Hall was the greatest of them all.

He'll get an additional boost with a big offensive line out in front of him, led by all-state candidate Matt Mefford at tackle and tight end Zach Novak. Wyoming ought to have the capability to throw this year, as well, with a capable arm in new quarterback Kyle Lewis and a talented wideout in Chris Carter. lo-Will struggle if depth becomes an issue, or a new, more aggressive approach on defense doesn't work out as planned. Most of Wyoming's top players will line up on both sides of the ball, including Hall at free safety and Mefford at defensive end. Linebacker Scott Cryder is another key to the defense.

0- Coach: Tom Crosby (15457-1) ►Will succeed it veteran coach Tom Crosby can get Mariemont back on track, as this is traditionally among the best small-school programs in the area. With only eight returning starters, the Warriors will have to do it with youth if it's to be done this year.

Reassuring is the amount of experience taking care of the ball, as Jason Mondy returns for another year at quarterback and is joined in the backfield by running back Spencer Dunning, who gained more than 1,000 yards a year ago. Defensively, Mariemont should be led by defensive tackle Eric Shaner and linebacker Mike Dever. Kicker Conrad Hindert is another veteran returnee. p Will struggle if young players aren't ready for the roles thrust upon them. While Crosby says there is some talent among his underclassmen, this team only has 20 seniors and juniors to draw from, while there are 18 sophomores on the roster.

players to make a go of it in his first year and many of those key players are back this year.

Offensively, Josh Cohen was a find last year as a converted fullback who was effective running in traffic. He'll be a focus again.

Jason Case is back at quarterback and"may look to throw more in Madeira's run-and-shoot setup. Two key players out front on both offense and defense are Andy Lumpkin and Joe Novakov.

The top defender returning is linebacker Nick Groll, last year's leading tackler. ®Will struggle if the injury bug hits in the wrong places.

Madeira only has about 33 players in its program, so there is not a lot of depth. Another question might be whether other programs will be more wary of Madeira after the success demonstrated last year.

ichard Hall has been called by many"the city's most exciting athlete," and-rival coaches such as Madeira's Reynolds have said Hall `.`could be a college Division I athlete injust about any sport he wants to be."

Besides being an outut standing running back, Hall is also one of the best basketasket ball players in the city.

He's been playing football since he was5 years old,but didn't begin playing organized basketball until the seventh grade.

Does he have a favorite between footoot ball and basketball?

"I'm married to both," he said, beaming.

Hall is rated the No.l college football prospect in Ohio for the 1998 season by John McCallister, editor ofthe McCallister ScoutingReport and the acknowledged expert on* Ohio high schoolfootoot ball talent.

Hall rushed for more than 2,000 yardsin both his sophomore and junior seasons and was an Enquirer first-team all-star in basketball as a point guard.

As if all of this wasn't enough,Hall has added -15pounds of muscle for this football season. Last year,the 5-foot-11 v

"I got kind of heavy in March asket (after the high school basketball season had ended); but when I started worl ng out, for AAU summer basketball I turned the fat into muscle," he said."It hasn't slowed me down at all."

BY JOHN ERARDI The Cincinnati Enquirer In case anybody doubts whether Wyoming High senior running back Richard Hall is a big-time college prospect, consider what the experts think.

The running backscoach from Nebraska,Dave Gillespie, wasin town a couple of weeks ago and stopped in to see Wyoming coach Bernie Barre. t What position are the other schools looking at Richard to play?"asked the Nebraska coach.

"Generally, running back," Barre said. "Michigan wanted him to play defensive back."

"Well," said Gillespie,"he can play running back for us."

In the collegiate ranks, there isn't any higher,praise for a running back.

Where Hall goes to college, however, won't have to do only with his running ability. It may also have to do with his grades.

"He took two courses in summer school-two courses he had already passed but wanted a Enquirer file photo better grade m," Barre said."He Hall reluctantly Big Wheel begin Richard gave up his to playing football at age 5 because his grandfather him told to do so. may not be a 'qualifier'(to play ium. ucZ$uu1au yval v1 wucge).

Here are the national records in both: worked to refine it. He began playing Pee Wee football at 5 years old as an offensive center, then became a sack machine at defensive end.

"The minimum age was6, but my grandpa-Freddie Rose, he played defensive tackle in college -knew the coach and wanted me to play," Hall said."I was a typ• ical kid,riding my Big Wheel and having fun. I didn't want to play football. But what grandpa wanted,I did.

Wyoming's system has long been geared toward star running backs, but a strong senior finale would leave little doubt Hall was the greatest of them all.

He'll get an additional boost with a big offensive line out in front of him, led by all-state candidate Matt Mefford at tackle and tight end Zach Novak. Wyoming ought to have the capability to throw this year, as well, with a capable arm in new quarterback Kyle Lewis and a talented wideout in Chris Carter. ®Will struggle if depth

But measured in talent, Amodio is optimistic about this year.

Junior running back Jason Heard is one of the CHL's best,

rushing for 1,190 yards last season, while quarterback Jason Gardner threw for 12 touchdowns and more than 1,000 yards. Senior Kevin Tuepker is an anchor as a two-way starter in the backfields, while the same can be said for Brian Jemison on the offensive and defensive lines.

Shaun Howard and Vince Moore bring even more experience to the lines, while Amodio likes the look of his linebacking pairing of Mike Chenault and Eric Ogletree. ® Will struggi® if line

GR%!El~ CATH®LIG.LEAGUE SPOTLIGHT. ROGER BACON'S JERRETr DEAN

;.use i

BY HAVE SCHLTM Enquirer contributor Before the 1997 season began, Greater Catholic League North coaches hadn't heard much about Jerrett Dean,Roger Bacon's speedy tailback.

However, that won't be the case this year with most defenses now geared to slow down the Dean Express that ran rampant last year.

In the most Surprising performane by a football player last season, Dean rushed for a single-season school record 1,804 yards and scored 22 touchL downs, another Jerrett Dean school record.

That one-season effort has given' Dean a chance to leave Roger Bacon with his name on all the career rushing and scoring records.

"We've had so many good run-

ning backs over the years that Jerrett must have a good season to break the records," Roger Bacon coach Dan Starkey said.

Walt ' Roeckers holds Roger Bacon's career TD (33) and rushing (3,100 yards) records. So Dean needs is a 1,300-yard, 11 TD season.

Based on his work during the offseason,thatis within reach for the 6foot-1,195-pound senior.

"Jerrett has gotten stronger during the summer," Starkey said."He now has 4.4 speed in the 40 and has the ability to turn it on whenever needed."

Dean was unstoppable as ajunior.

Early in the season opposing defenses did not know what to expect from the Spartans' offense.

After Dean rushed for 200-plus yards in three of the first four games,they began keying on him.

Dean isn't the only reason the Spartans are picked to battle Purcell Marian for the GCL North champions.

Dean is complimented by Brandon Barnes, a 5-11, 210-pound fullback who's a good blocker with 4.4 speed in the 40.

"Brandon and Jerrett are best

friends," Starkey said."They campliment each other and both are j.. threats to score every time they ban; dle the ball."

This one-two running attack should make it easier for senior quarterback Sam Merkle, who should be vastly improved after ° throwing for less than 700 yards in 1997.

Roger Bacon is loaded on the offensive line with Dominic Pugliel< .li (6-3, 240) and Scott Hollmann (66 The Cincinnati Enquirer/ Emest Coleman 3, 240) while place kicker/punter Mason player tries to bring down Roger B.J.

offensive numbers

BY COY HOFFMAN Enquirer contributor Itis unavoidable that the i.mmedi ate impression football fans get when they think ofLebanon's Kelton Lindsay is of him running the ball.

After all, Lindsay dominated most defenses last year in racking up 2,192 rushing yards,on the heels of u' v~~L mil: vrr,

Labanon ®Coach: Dave Brausch (24-9) No. Will succeed if all the pieces fit together as well as they appear to on paper. Lebanon looks loaded, starting out with two of the premier athletes in the state in Kelton Lindsay (almost 2,200 rushing yards and 36 TDs in '97) and quarterback Brady Merchant(63 percent passing percentage in '97). They aren't the only impressive skilled athletes, either, with big, experienced receivers like Mike Williams, Jeremy Bolling and David Linville and two other speedy backs in Nick Singleton and Justin Runyon (who scored on a 70-yard run on the first play of the first scrimmage this preseason).

0-Will struggle if major problems develop in retooling the offensive line, where senior twoway starters Joe Michael and Dan Jackson will be heavily relied upon. Another piffall Could be if the injury bug would hit key personnel like Lindsay or Merchant, who are also two-way players. But many think this is the best Division II team in Ohio, and with as Many strengths as are evident, it's hard to argue with that assertion.

Mason 0-Coach: Tim Lichtenberg (125-105) IlWill succeed it they can make a smooth transition after losing most of the skilled players that anchored last year's playoff team. What is noticeable is an abundance of big guys who should make Mason a physical challenge, led by center Nate Moore,tackle Jason Beebe and defensive end Greg George.

Tailback Jeremy Adkins, who ran for 1,700 yards a year ago, graduated, leaving Danny Little, a star on last year's reserve team, to try and replace him. Mason will also have a new,quarterback — actually, two of them, as Adam Livingston and Brandon Sammons have both proven to be good passers in the preseason. Lichtenberg would like to see a little more aggressiveness out of the defense, which will be led by George, linebacker Jeremy Wilson and all-FAVC defensive back Matt Davis. lo.

ken about the development.

Lindsay could be a defensive player in college and, while doing donble-duty at cornerback,already is an outstanding one in high school.

His contributions get overshad owed by the enormity of his offen sive numbers, but he tied for the pass iil py art-time cepbons heady `ear h on "He likes defense a lot," Lebanon coach Dave Brausch said."In junior high, he didn't get to play defense, so he asked us very quickly if he could play it for us."

With his sprinter's speed and sinewy 185-0ound frame, Lindsay may be better suited in the long run to collegiate defensive back than running back.

"I'm not going to college and say they have to put me anywhere," Lindsay said.

"There's always someone better than you,and there will probably be running backs there better than me.

That's something I realized through sports."

The point was most directly made last spring in the state track meet.

For all his vaunted football speed,

Lindsay finished 12th in the Division II 100-meter event, failing to even qualify to the championship heat.

There are few,however,who have shown themselves to be faster than Lindsay with a football in his hands and, after getting beat in last year's state semifinals,he hopes to make a lasting impression with his final high school season.

"I think this year, we've got not sx° just me,buta lot ofother people who — can contribute," he said.

McAllister says he's best in state

BY DAB SCHU tE Enquirer contributor

Top rankings are being tossed around at Hamilton almost as many times as their quarterback is expected to throw the ball. xpectd John McAllister, editor of Prep Prospects of Ohio, says Big Blue quarterback Andy Mignery is the top-ranked player at his position in the state.

Thatis one ofthe reasons Hamilton was chosen as the preseason No. 1ranked teanr in the Enquirer's Tristate Top 10. And local coaches agree, picking the Big Andy Mignery Blue No. 2 in the coaches' DivisionIII poll behind Moeller.

With all that hype, there will be numerous scouts and lots of pressure at each Hamilton game this year.All that attention will be focused

on the 6-foot-5, 228-pound Hamilton quarterback.

"Andy attended five quarterback camps during the summer and is a lot more polished this season," Hamilton coach Ed Mignery said.

"His arm is stronger and foot quickness much better."

In his'first eight games in 1997, Mignery completed 54 of 100 passes for 936 yards. He sprained an ankle during the eighth game,forcing him to miss the two games before the playoffs.

"Andy's very humble and makes me proud," Mignery said. "He's

He has two experienced receivers (Chris Wilhelm and Ryan Dixon) and two speedy runnings back, Milford transfer Ryan King (21.7 carries, 1,000 yards) and Mike Myers (190 carries, 1508 yards).

"We'll probably throw more, but King and Myers must also run the ball a lot," Mignery said. "It's a good problem to have ifeveryone remains unselfish."

While Hamilton has the work

40.1 horses in the backfield and at receiveceiv er, additional pressure falls on an offensive line that returns only one starter.

"I'lre line lost two major college players (Deron Bawling and Brandon Bridges) who are at Kent State," Mignery said."We have the people at the skilled positions but the line must come through."

With this firepower, it's easy to understand why the Big Blue have been picked to win the Greater Miami Conference for a second consecutive season.

Nearly 90 players are on the roster this year, including 34 seniors, so numbers will not be a problem. ® Will struggle if Anderson rests on its laurels. Though the roster numbers sound impressive, the Redskins lack size and experience. For their season finale against area power St. Xavier to have any playoff implications, the Redskins will likely need to stay undefeated through conference play.

Oak Nl i s Coach: Steve Sheehan (7-3) 30141 succeed if the defense, which returns eight starters, can be one of the toughest in the city. Special teams could win one or two games this season, as the kicker and punter are both highly experienced. One or two extra wins will obviously help, especially since Oak Hills plays LaSalle, Elder and Colerain in non-league games. ® Will struggle it the offensive line can't hide its inexperience behind an impressive-average weight of 245 pounds. Like Anderson, numbers also are impressive, as 85 players fill the roster, but that could be moot when a green offensive line will block for a thin corps of running backs.

Coach: Jay Miller (0-0) Will succeed if the Barons can ride the strength and talent of their senior players. Sixteen upperclassmen will lead Amelia, including eight returning starters on defense. The Barons also have good depth at the offensive skill positions.

WIII struggle if the thin crop of underclassmen can't play like those more seasoned players. Only one returning starter is a non-senior, so some positions will experience some on-the-job training. These players will need to learn quickly if the Barons are hoping for a fifth consecutive winning season.

Hughes 0- Coach: Al West(22-48) ® Will succeed if Thomas Roberts has a huge game every week. The Big Red returns starting quarterback Roberts, an Enquirer all-star selection last year, and he can make big plays both passing and rushing. His game-breaking ability will need to shine through quite often for Hughes to win seven or eight games, which will be difficult. o- Will struggle it the defensive line cannot control the line of scrimmage. If opponents find any success rushing through Hughes'first line of defense, they could keep on running to the end zone, because the Big Red has just four linebackers on the roster. Only one is a senior with experience.

Twenty-six player3 on the rostel, however, will make that feat a tough one. > Will struggle if players leave the team before the season en 1s. At the start of east season, W fadward had to forfeit two ga Tres because they simply were sh alt on playe S. Coach Jackson ne,ds a win or two early in the se ison to keep his players interes ed in sticking it out.

WesteCj BL' ';r" Do- Coach: Tim Bogan (2-8) Is Will succeed if the offense can improve on last season, when the Broncos managed 215 yards and 12 points per game.

The offensive line features four seniors, including two who missed last season due to ACL injuries. James Rebensdorf is expected to carry much of the offense's burden at fullback. How well he handles the role is key. ►Will struggle if the team gets, off to a bad start. Having won just five games in four years, the last thing the Broncos need is another losing record out of the gates. The schedule is tough: Western Brown plays Goshen, McNicholas and Amelia to open the season.

►Coach: Ken Osborne (177122) ®Will succeed if a running game fails to develop to keep opposing defenses honest. Rob Sipple is a proven QB and has good targets in Chris Poole and David Ross.

However,the loss of 1,000yard rusher John Malott leaves a glaring hole at tailback and, without a viable rushing attack, the passing game may suffer as defenses adjust.

N> Will struggle if the team continues to be hit by Injuries.

Starting defensive end Jim Comes tore his MCL in preseason practice and is out for the season.

With only 38 players on the team, depth is a major concern,

(237 yards in '97) is the top returning rusher.

The offensive line is big and experienced, but its skills will go for naught if the Rockets' wing-T isn't operated efficiently.
