Sharks take WCC title

LIZTON-Taking seven firsts and first and second places in five events Saturday, Greencastle captured the West Central Conference Invitational Swimming championship at Tri-West High School The Tiger Sharks scored 358 points to win the meet for the second year in a row and the host Bruins were second with 318 points. Danville came in a distant third with 218 points, Cascade scored 112 and South Putnam 61. “I WAS REALLY proud of the team at the meet,” coach Brad Hayes said. “Their enthusiam showed that they really care a lot about what happens this year. When individuals get behind and back their teammates you get a strong team.” Sophomore Pat Condon and freshman Chris Haymaker led the Tiger Sharks with two firsts each, while Ron Pitcock, Mike Opdahl and Quentin Oliver each took one first. However, it was Greencastle’s quality depth that was most impressive. The Sharks took first and second places in the 200-freestyle, 100-freestyle, 200individual medley (IM), 100-backstroke and first, second and third places in the 500-yard freestyle. THE CONDON, 808 NEALON and Ray Nealon 500-freestyle sweep was the most impressive Greencastle finish and show of team strength. Condon, who won the 100-yard butterfly in 59.35 seconds, clocked a 5:08.20 first place time in the 500free to finish nearly a minute ahead of the closest non-teammate challenger. Haymaker led a one-two Shark finish in the 100-fresstyle, turning in a 52.34 first place time with Pitcock clocking a 53.34 second place time. Haymaker, remember he’s only a freshman, came back to win the 100-yard breaststroke with a 1:09.27. Op-

Sharp leads Cloverdale victory

CLOVERDALE -Coach Greg Hammond always wondered how his Cloverdale High School girls basketball team would respond to box-and-one defensive tactics against guard Debbie Mann and now he knows. Traci Sharp scored a varsity career-high 22 points and Denise Schwomeyer added another 12, as the Clovers pulled away from visiting Avon for a 58-39 victory. AVON’S DEFENSIVE EFFORTS held Mann to nine points, well below her 18.7 average. “What partially happened, they had a chaser on her (Mann) and she was taken somewhat out of our offense and we somewhat took her out of our offense,” Hammond said. Sharp and Schwomeyer picked up the slack though and Sharon Garrett added

dahl finished third for Greencastle. Opdahl won the 200-yard IM in 2:16.28, his closest competition coming from sophomore teammate Paul Christiansen. Also David Brown finished fifth for Greencastle. OLIVER, A JUNIOR like Opdahl, turned in a 1:02.24 first place 100-backstroke time that, once again, left Christiansen in second place. Aaron Steiner captured a fifth in the same event. Pitcock, a sophomore, turned in a 1:55.49 time to win the 200-yard freestyle ahead of teammate Bob Nealon, who clocked a 1:55.68 time. Also Ray Nealon took fifth place.

Cloverdale led 14-11 after one quarter of play, but trailed 28-26 at halftime. “They hit some good shots. We really didn’t do anything wrong that particular quarter,” Hammond said of the second eight minutes. BUT BY THE end of the third period the Clovers were ahead 40-36 and limited the Orioles to just three fourth quarter points. Along with her 22 points, Sharp also pulled down 11 rebounds, while Mann and Morris each had five. Mann wasn’t taken out of the defensive game, coming up with six steals. Garrett, Morris, Schwomeyer

Knight gets scolded

SCHAUMBURG, 111. (AP) - Big Ten Conference basketball Coaches Bobby Knight of Indiana and Bill Frieder of Michigan have been reprimanded for failing to appear at two league functions, officials say. The reprimands were contained in letters sent to both coaches, the conference said in a statement released from league headquarters Monday. The league also said it has formally asked Knight to provide information to the conference office about his recent remarks questioning the recruiting practices of other member institutions. However, Big Ten officials declined to elaborate on what the reprimands might mean to the respective coaches or comment on any other matter contained in the statement. The letters to the two coaches were sent after the conference’s faculty representatives and athletic directors held regular meetings last week. Both Frieder and Knight were absent from the basketball coaches’ officiating clinic Oct. 7 and Knight also was absent from the Big Ten’s annual basketball press day and coaches’ meeting Nov. 18. Paul W. Gikas, conference chairman and professor at the University of Michigan, and Big Ten Commissioner Wayne Duke noted in the letters that the coaches’ absences constituted a violation of conference rules calling it “the professional responsibility of all conference personnel to attend meetings scheduled by their group.” Kit Klingelhoffer, Indiana sports information director, said Monday that

Playing hard just not enough

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) - It sounds strange, says Atlanta Coach Mike Fratello, but despite Indiana’s third-worst record in the National Basketball Association, the Pacers are no pushovers. The Hawks, now four games ahead of the Pacers in the Central Division of the NBA’s Eastern Conference, built a 14-point lead but had to struggle in the closing seconds to hold onto a 104-98 victory. It was the only game in the league Monday night. “Coming off a loss like that (128-127 to Boston on Sunday), this is one of the teams you don’t want to play because they just keep coming after you,” Fratello said of the Pacers. “Other teams don’t attack as hard, but Indiana is hungry and aggressive, and

Cougars win 4th straight ROACHDALE-Coach Bill Bays, recovering from a heart attack in the Hendricks County Hospital, would have been especially proud of the North Putnam High School girls during their 62-48 victory over visiting Fountain Central Monday night. Assistant coach Steve Bullerdick didn’t have time to cover a game-plan or say much of anything to the Cougars after directing the junior varsity to a 20-17 victory. He just told them to go out “and play like you know how.” AND THE COUGARS did just that, forcing many second-quarter turnovers with the full-court zone trap that is becoming not only a trademark, but path to victory and building a 36-22 halftime margin. “We basically put a full court press on them and that created some turnovers for us and we took advantage of them,” Bullerdick said. “That press has been very effective for us this year.” After trailing 18-13 at the end of the first quarter, the Cougars held the Mustangs to nine second quarter points. At the same time Jodi Pickel, the intimidating six-foot center who patrols the passing lanes in that zone press, netted five field goals to lead the North Putnam rally. North Putnam built a 60-39 lead with 4:30 to play in the final quarter when coach Bullerdick pulled the starters. PICKEL FINISHED WITH 23 points, and although she was the only one in double figures, Jana Buser had nine, Jannetta Sinnet eight, Jodi Ferrand eight and Sarah Griffin had eight to give the Cougars plenty of balance. Fountain Central’s Tracy Lyons led all scorers with 27 points. The fourth straight Cougar victory, and fifth in the last six games sends them into Wednesday night’s 8 p.m. county tournament game at Cloverdale with a 5-3 record. The only loss in this string came in overtime.

Knight had indicated previously he would not comment on the matter. Klingelhoffer said he doesn’t know if Knight has been notified of the reprimand, since he and the team were in Ames, lowa, on Monday night to prepare for tonight’s game against lowa State. Frieder did not immediately return telephone messages left Monday night at his home. A second letter to Knight from Dean Robert A. Stein of the University of Minnesota Law School, chairman of the Conference Compliance Committee, urged Knight “to provide the committee with any information which you may have about any possible rule violations by personnel at any conference university.

they keep putting the pressure on you,” he said. The Pacer pressure, plus 20 second-half points by forward Herb Williams, helped Indiana within two points of Atlanta twice in the second half. The first time, the Hawks repelled the rally with the hot shooting of reserve guard Mike Glenn. The final time, a jumper by Glenn Rivers iced the game with a minute to go. “This was really a good win for us. We were happy just to hang on,” said Fratello, whose Hawks improved to 9-13 for the season. The key, he said, was the clutch shooting by Glenn, who hit eight of 11 from the field and finished with a season-high 17 points 12 in the second half.
