BROOK STEPPE Makes Pacers pay

Pacer reject 'steps' forward in triumph

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) Brook Steppe, cut by the Indiana Pacers during preseason training camp, enjoys playing against his former teammates. Even if it means taking a few jeers from the fans at Market Square Arena. “At least now I’m on a winning team,” the Detroit reserve called out to some of the crowd of more than 13,000 during a time-out midway through the fourth quarter Friday night. His 10 fourth-quarter points helped the Pistons turn a six-point deficit into a 116-110 National Basketball Association victory. “I always like to have fun with some of the fans. I like to get them flustered. But tonight I made a special effort,” said the Piston guard. “It’s great to come back here and win, but you can’t put all your emphasis on one game. I also try not to put too much pressure on myself,” said Steppe. “I think playing with a lot better players helps you as a ballplayer be much better yourself. Better players bring out the best in you. ” The victory snapped a four-game losing streak and left Detroit at 16-14 for the season. Indiana, losing for the fourth straight game, fell to 7-22, the most losses by any team in the NBA. Detroit Coach Chuck Daly said Steppe is “a good player. Very good defensively. He seems to come up with the tough plays and get the loose balls. We’re really glad to have him. He does a good job coming off the bench.” The 10 points by Steppe and 13 by reserve Earl Cureton sparked the Pistons’ rally. The two combined for 14 during a 22-7 spurt at the start of the fourth quarter. “There’s no doubt the bench was a major factor,” said Daly, who was playing mostly reserves when Detroit took control. “Cureton and Steppe gave us outstanding efforts, but keep in mind that’s

what they’re paid to do. They’re not paid to sit on the bench.” Steppe said, “I don’t understand what happened (in getting cut by Indiana). They just lost faith, and I was injured before training camp. Camp was very tough, and Coach (George) Irvine said the reason I got cut was that I wasn’t in good enough shape. I mean, the season’s 82 games long. It’s not how good a shape you’re at when the season begins ... I think Irvine made a big mistake.” The surge gave Detroit its biggest lead of the game at 102-93, and the Pistons held off a final Indiana comeback that closed the gap to two points three times. “We were supposed to be running the passing game (in the fourth quarter,’’ said Irvine. “We executed our offense poorly and they got running.” The Pacers were led by Clark Kellogg, who tied his season high with 31 points. Kelly Tripucka led Detroit with 23 points, while Isiah Thomas had 16 of his 22 points in the second half. Thomas also contributed 17 assists and eight rebounds to the victory. “We just sort of take Isiah for granted,” Daly said. “He finds every possible way to contribute. He’s just a great player.

Warsaw ends 'B4 at 9-1 after winning in South Bend tourney

By STEVE HERMAN AP Sports Writer Defending state champion Warsaw, coming off a big victory in the South Bend Holiday tournament, will take a 9-1 record into the New Year, a much better record than even Coach A 1 Rhodes thought possible. “But more important is the fact that we’ve improved throughout,” said Rhodes, whose N0.6-ranked Tigers captured the South Bend championship with Friday night’s 55-50 victory over No. 12rated, previously unbeaten South Bend Clay. “Tonight was our best performance of the year in a lot of ways,” said Rhodes, who got 24 points from guard Jeff Grose and a near-perfect team performance in ball-handling and at the free throw line. “We established ourselves inside, and that opened things up for our guards. And we got a great game from our guards (Grose, Steve Hollar and Jeff Tucker) Warsaw had only one turnover in the second half and only six for the entire game. At the free throw line, the Tigers hit all 14 attempts in the final period and finished with 19 of 22 for the game, including the final 18 without a miss after the first quarter. “Our bubble burst,” said Clay Coach Tom Hess, whose Colonials lost for the first time in 11 games. “But our future is one of great expectations. We’re still undefeated in the (Northern Indiana) conference, and we obviously emerged from this tournament as the top team in the city.” The score was tied 41-41 early in the fourth quarter before Warsaw scored six straight points, four of them by Grose. The Tigers then went into a spread offense and wrapped up the game from the free throw line. “Their guards hurt us,” said Hess. “That was the best I’ve seen their guards handle pressure, and I was pleased with our defensive pressure. We just couldn’t pick up the tempo. ” Warsaw advanced to the championship game with a 73-60 victory over South Bend St. Joseph’s Friday afternoon. Clay, which advanced with a 74-66 victory over No. 19 South Bend Adams, was led in the title game by Brian Smith with 18 points and Richard Sutherland with 15. Clay, the winner of the tourney last year, had to rally from a 10-point halftime deficit in the afternoon semifinal. Sutherland finished with 19 points in that game. Clay trailed 34-24 at halftime, but the Colonials eventually tied the game and took a 52-50

lead on a baskset by Sutherland with 7:13 to go. Adams, falling to 6-5 for the season, was only one point behind, 67-66, with 1:47 remaining, but Clay scored the final seven points including four by Sutherland. Smith added 18 points and Carlos Diggins finished with 16 for Clay, which beat Adams in the tourney championship game last year. Adams was led by Raymond Richardson with 24 points and Kevin DeCraene with 19. Warsaw trailed St. Joseph’s only in the first quarter of their semifinal, but the Tigers stormed ahead by 12 at halftime and rolled to victory. Grose led Warsaw with 21 points, while Fox and Robert Johnson added 10 apiece. St. Joe was topped by Brian Jankowski with 23 points and Mike Megyese with 17. Among other games Friday, N 0.20ranked Gary Roosevelt rallied in the final two minutes to edge Wallace 56-55 for the Gary tourney championship. Roosevelt, now 7-1, trailed 54-51 with 2:30 to go. James Scott hit two free throws to pull the Panthers within one point, then Lynell Peterson scored on a three-point play with 1:31 remaining to give Roosevelt a 56-54 lead. Peterson scored 18 points including 10 of 12 free throws for Roosevelt in the afternoon victory. The Panthers jumped ahead 10-0 but led only 42-35 before breaking the game open with a string of 12 straight points late in the third quarter and early in the final period The only other ranked team on Friday night’s holiday-shortened schedule was No. 13 Huntington North, which beat Alexandria 72-69. Huntington, which earlier in the season beat Warsaw and whose only loss in nine games was to No.l Marion, was led by Gary Paul with 23 points and Brian Reeder with 19. Alexandria battled back from a 13point deficit in the fourth quarter and trailed by only two before Reeder scored the clinching basket with 11 seconds to go. Among other games, unranked Fort Wayne North beat Snider 81-60 for a spot against N0.2-rat.ed Northrop in today’s Summit Athletic Conference tourney semifinals. Harding will play Fort Wayne South in the other semifinal. Elsewhere, Peru beat Maconaquah 80-67 for the Maconaquah Tourney championship, Michigan City Elston beat Rogers 72-63 for the Rogers tourney title, and Mount Vernon of Hancock County smashed Hamilton Southeastern 67-32 for the Westfield Tourney championship.
