Parrish leaves Wabash College

By STEVE FIELDS Banner-Graphic Sports Editor WEST LAFAYETTE-With ideas of some day being an NCAA Division I head football coach, Wabash College coach Stan Parrish has joined the Purdue University staff, it was learned Monday morning. Parrish, the third winningest football coach in Wabash College history, was expected to begin recruiting for coach Leon Burtnett’s Boilermakers immediately. He was to visit allstate quarterback Doug Downing of Lafayette Jeff High School Monday afternoon. WABASH, MEANWHILE, appears to have wasted no time in finding a successor. Sports Information Director Tom Keen said the new Little Giant head coach will be named at a 10 a.m. press conference Tuesday morning. Sources close to the situation at Crawfordsville would neither confirm, nor deny that assistant

Banner-Graphic Sports Writer CLOVERDALE-If basketball could be won by if’s, if North Putnam hit all of its free throws and if Cloverdale had hit all of its free throws, North Putnam would have won Saturday night. But basketball isn’t won by if’s and Cloverdale won the high school game 57-46. CHAD TUCKER led the two teams with 26 points and was the only Clover in double figures. John Copner and Jeff Eaton produced 13 and 12 points respectively for the Cougars. “I’m glad its over,” Cloverdale coach A 1 Tucker said. “It’s difficult for any team to be mentally prepared to go against a struggling team. And our routine was broken up this week by not being in school.” “I thought we played well,” North Putnam coach Phil Myers said. “It was one of our better efforts of the year. It was important confidence wise. We were working the offense, being patient, and finding the open man.” THE OPENING STANZA gave the Cougars a boost. They picked up six points on field goals by Kerry Kurtz, Dan Nelson and John Copner before the Clovers scored a point. Keith Welty broke the scoring drought for Cloverdale and Tucker followed with a field goal. Copner hit for the Cougars with just under four minutes to

' Owen Valley High School won is first WCC championship ever in one of the few things that went according to pre-meet predictions. The Patriots remained undefeated by scoring 177 points, to leave firstyear conference member Danville in second place with 146 points. SOUTH PUTNAM took more

Tiger Talks are held in room 207 of the DePauw Student Union building beginning at noon. McCall will speak about the Wabash-DePauw rivalry and some of his recollections of the rivalry during 20 years as the DePauw basketball coach. DePauw plays Wabash on Tuesday night in Crawfordsville at 7:30 p.m. McCall talks from good experiences on the rivalry, as the Tigers’ all-time leading coach in victories held a 26-14 record in games against the Little Giants. Overall, DePauw holds a 82-60 margin against Wabash in more than 70 years of basketball rivalry. Before coming to Greencastle, McCall coached South Bend Central High School to Indiana state titles in 1953 and 1957. He is a member of the Indiana Basketball Hall of Fame.

coach and former Indiana University defensive back Mike Deal would succeed Parrish. “I do not know who the new coach will be. All I know is that it will be an internal promotion,” Keen said. Parrish is actually returning to Purdue University. The man who directed the Little Giants to three victories in five seasons over DePauw University in the annual Monon Bell Game, was a volunteer offensive coordinator for the Purdue junior varsity in

1976 while finishing his master’s degree. HE JOINED Frank Navarro’s staff as an assistant coach at Wabash in 1977. The following year Navarro left Wabash for Princton and the Little Giants quarterback coach was promoted to the head job. Parrish compiled a 42-3-1 record in five seasons at the Wabash helm. The 1982 team finished with a 10-0 record, the best in Wabash history, but was denied a Division 111 playoff berth. During his tenure

one of the shots. Roger Shrum hit both of his free throws for the Clovers to bring Cloverdale within one point with only 13 seconds to play. BUT EATON HIT a field goal

Defending champion Monrovia dropped to fifth place with 106 points. Cloverdale scored 694 points, North Putnam 50, Cascade 38, Greencastle 274 and Tri-West 194. It was no surprise that South had four champions, but who two of those champions were was surprising. Pat Havey and Tim Phillips were top seeds in the 126 and 138 pound weight classes, but Brent Cash at 105 and Tom Franklin at 132 pounds were tournament shockers. CASH, THE NO. 3 seed, won the 105 pound championship by 13-1 superior decision over top seeded Phillip Trimble of Owen Valley. Cash, who had a first round bye, pinned Danville’s Jim Morgan 1:31 into the first period of second round match and with just 21 seconds left in the second period pinned No. 2 seeded Gary Cook of Edgewood in the semi-final match. Franklin could be called the overtime kid. Seeded third, Franklin won two overtime matches in the 132 pound class for the title. This weight class was a surprise all day, as top seeded David Chambers of Cascade withdrew from competition after a second-round victory because of a back injury. Meanwhile, in the lower bracket, Franklin scored a takedown, near fall in the final 10 seconds of the semi-final match against No. 2 seed Pete

Parrish directed the nation’s longest winning streak of 24 consecutive games that came to an end at Blackstock Stadium in the 1981 Monon Bell game. The accomplishments at Wabash could become stepping stones for Parrish. “When I assessed my goals, I realized that in order to eventually become a head coach at the Division I level I had to return to Division I as an assistant,” Parrish said in a statement released by the Purdue University Sports Information office.

to end the quarter. North Putnam held an 11-8 lead over Cloverdale. “In the second quarter, we had three or four consecutive turnovers,” Myers said. “We got down 10 points.” “We were really struggling in the first half.” Tucker said. "It was more what North Putnam did...the turnovers. Some were forced, but their passing was a problem for them.” TUCKER HIT THE first of five field goals in the second quarter with only 14 seconds gone in the period. Eaton added one point to the Cougar score with a free throw. Tucker tied the game at the 6:43 mark Copner went to the free throw line breaking the tie with one point. W'eltv hit a field goal to get the lead for the Clovers, but Copner hit a field goal and the lead went back to the Cougars for the last time. The Clovers took an 18-15 lead as Brian Wooldridge and Jerry Neese both hit from the field. COPNER HIT AGAIN from the field. But the Cloverdale fullcourt press presented too many problems for the Cougars. The Clovers led 24-16 before North scored again. Neese hit two free throws. Tucker and Shrum followed with field goals. The quarter ended 32-22 in favor of the Clovers. While the Cougars played even ball for the last two periods, they could not break the second quarter lead

Meyer of Greencastle, forcing an overtime. Franklin won the title match berth with a 5-0 overtime score. In the championship match, he scored a 5-1 overtime victory over Danville’s Mark Harper, an unseeded surprise himself out of the top bracket. HAVEY WON THE 126 pound championship as expected and with the exception of unseeded Chris Roberts’ win over Owen Valley over No. 4 seed Cascade’s Jeff Davis, this class went according to the brackets. After the first-round bye, Havey scored a 16-3 superior decision over Cloverdale’s Rick Sawyer. He ousted Roberts by 5-1 decision in the semi-final round, then scored the go ahead point in the final 30 seconds to win the championship by 4-3 decision over No. 2 seeded Greg Chastain of Monrovia. Phillips won the 138 pound class as expected, but he beat No. 3 seed Brett Franklin of Owen Valley in the title match. Phillips, who has won all but one of his matches this season, scored a 14-10 decision in the championship match. THE SOUTH PUTNAM senior got into the title match with pins in the semi and quar-ter-final rounds and a 17-7 major decision in the first round. Cloverdale’s Keith Johnson was a victim of Saturday’s biggest upset according to

COACH BURTNETT, IN California recruiting, was very happy Parrish decided to join the Boilermaker staff. “I feel honored that a head coach of Stan’s ability would join our staff as an assistant,” Burtnett said in a statement also released by Purdue. “He is truly an outstanding coach and will be a tremendous help to us, especially in recruiting the state of Indiana and helping to coach our offense.” Parrish, who developed Wabash Little All-American quarterbacks Dave Broecker and Dave Harvey, will be coaching senior Boilermaker quarterback Scott Campbell beginning this spring. Long-time Purdue quarterback coach Bob Spoo, who refined the talents of Mark Herrmann, now of the NFL Denver Broncos, will replace receiver coach Dick Dullaghan, who resigned earlier to join former Purdue coach Jim Young at Army.

“North Putnam did a nice job," Tucker said. “They hit the basket pretty well. They were certainly more prepared to play than we were.” “WE WANTED TO hold both Tucker and Neese,” Myers said. “They are by far the best ball players on this team not only in taking the ball and shooting it, but at setting others up.” “We succeeded with Neese, he only got one easy bucket,” Myers said. "We did what we wanted to do defensively.” “Neese was really struggling tonight.” Tucker said “It's good for us to hang in and pick one up when we’re not playing as well as we should.” “I’LL NOT LOSE confidence in these kids as long as their attitudes are good and they're working at it,” Myers said. Cloverdale’s JV also picked up the victory 51-37 over North Putnam. NORTH PUTNAM (46) Copner 5 :t-H 2 13, KurU 3 1-3 0 7. Strader I 01 I 2, Wehrman 2 1-2 2 5. Nelson 3 1-2 2 7, Katun 5 2-5 I 12.

TODD INMAN: Slowed byfoultrouble

Cadets end Cubs' winning streak

By STEVE FIELDS Banner-Graphic Sports Editor CLAYTON-When South Putnam and Greencastle play at McAnally Center Tuesday night in an 8 pm. high school basketball game second place in the West Central Conference will be at stake, not first. Cascade defeated Greencastle Saturday night 66-54 in a WCC game postponed from Friday night because of the icy road conditions and threatening weather. "YOU'VE GOT TO give Cascade all the credit in the w'orld. They outperformed us offensively. they outperformed us defensive and they deserve to be where they are and that’s at the head of the conference,” coach Doug Miller said after Greencastle’s league record slipped to 3-1 and overall record to 8-4. It was a complete turn of events for Greencastle. After winning six games with less or as many field goals as their opponents, the Tiger Cubs’ six-game winning streak ended the same way. Greencastle outscored Cascade by four from the floor, but the Cadets hit 26 of 37 free throws, compared to the Cubs’ 10 of 15. As in the previous four games, Greencastle’s trouble was offense and the defense didn’t contain Cascade like it did Edgewood, Owen Valley, West Vigo and North Vermillion. “We’ve got to have a more consistent offensive effort. We’ve seen this now for several ball games where we’ve beaten people because we’ve been able to contain them and we didn't contain this ball club.” ESENTIALLY, GREENCASTLE didn’t contain Dennis Hogan and Tim Hunter. Hogan scored 27 points, hitting eight of 11 from the floor and 11 of 13 at the free throw line. Hunter scored 17 points, hitting seven of eight from the floor and three of five at the free throw line. Cascade led all the way. The Cadets held a 158 first quarter lead-behind Hunter’s seven and Hogan's six points. Greencastle’s offense was crippled when point-guard Todd Inman picked up three first quarter fouls. Without Inman's penetration, center Brian Richards was further hampered against the four 6-2 and taller Cadets. Also without Inman, Duncan did not have the normal open wing shot against the Cascade zone. COACH MILLER WAS not happy with the officials throughout the game and walked off the court talking to the officials at halftime Bobby Knight style, obviously displeased. “They were just enough to keep me tormented,” Miller said. “The officials were a factor, but they weren’t the deciding factor. They just weren’t consistent from one end to the other." There were three key spans during the game for Greencastle, one just before halftime,

Tigers all even after victory

DePauw pushed its record back over the .500 mark with a 69-65 victory over host Olivet Nazarene in college basketball Friday night. The Tigers record is now 7-6 going into Tuesday's road contest against rival Wabash. Free throws spelled the difference for the Tigers as they connected on 19-of-23 free throws while Olivet Nazarene attempted only six free shots, making five. Senior center Ron

the second at the start of the third and the final break in the last two minutes of the third quarter. Buckets by David Smith. Duncan and Scott Hess cut Cascade’s lead to 21-18 with 1; 45 left in the first half. Hunter scored his third basket of the second quarter to give the Cadets a 23-18 lead. Hogan caught the Cubs asleep when Hunter missed a free throw, getting the rebound, scoring and hit the following free throw for a 2618 lead. On the Cubs' return possession Hogan came up with a steal and netted a layup and.2B- - was Cascade’s halftime lead. MILLER POINTED OUT Cascade’s opening two baskets of the second half as a key point. “From that point on our game plan was more or less out the window. ” the coach said. Switching from a zone into a man-to-man, the Cubs scrambled back into the ball game, while gradually digging themselves into further foul trouble. With Inman back in the lineup the Cubs found some offensive rhythm. Inman scored six points in the quarter and Richards two. Inman came up with a steal and scored to bring the margin down to 36-30. That was just where Cascade really put the game away. Hogan netted two more baskets and Greencastle trailed 40-30 when the last period opened. Cascade hit 22-of-28 free throws in the final quarter and four Cubs fouled out of the contest. ALTHOUGH CASCADE’S 70 per cent (26-37) free throw shooting provided the final cushion, the Cadets hit 57 per cent < 20-35) from the floor. Greencastle didn’t shoot poorly, connecting on 51 per cent (22-43) from the t or and 66 per cent (10-15 ) from the free throw ne. Richards led the Cubs with points and despite his foul trouble. Inman set 'd 14 points, hitting six of nine from the floor d two-for-two at the free throw line. Along with Hogan and Hunter, L t Smyth quietly scored 12 points. Despite the fact Richards was the only Cub six-feet or taller on the floor against Cascade’s starting lineup of a 6-4 center, two 6-3 forwards and a 6-2 guard. Greencastle owned a 19-17 rebound edge. Richards had five boards and Pursell four. GREENCASTLE 454) Richards 6 3-4 3 15. Pursell 0 0-0 5 0, Shuee 1 0-0 5 2. Duncan 4 0-0 2 X. Inman 6 2-2 5 14, Smilh 1 0-0 5 2. Judy 0 3-1 2 3.

Huser hit four key free throws and freshman guard Tim Vieke three as DePauw’s final nine points came from the charity stripe. NEITHER TEAM was able to establish a secure lead at any point in the game. Olivet Nazarene had its biggest lead at 21-15 midway through the first half but Vieke scored on three consecutive lone jumpers over the Nazarene zone to bring the Tigers back. The score was 34

apiece at the half. The second 20 minutes featured more jockeying for the lead as neither team could string together a hot streak to put the game away.
