Grose followed Rhodes' advice

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) - Jeff Grose, Indiana’s Mr. Basketball for 1985, both credits Warsaw Coach A 1 Rhodes for the recognition. “I don’t think I would have had as good a career if it wasn’t for his leadership,” said Grose in a telephone interview Sunday. “When he first talked to me before my freshman year, he hold me how successful I could be if I’d follow his instruction. “He has this way that makes you really believe in yourself,” said Grose, who has signed a national letter-of-intent with Northwestern. “As the years went by, I listened to what said, worked at it and it paid off in success for myself and my teammates.” Knowledge of the game is the main area Rhodes taught, said Grose. “He’s outstanding as far as knowledge. From him I learned the right things to do at specific times, the moves to make and how to play my position at both ends of the game,” he added. “There’s not much you can say, but I really respect him. Without him I don’t know where I would have gone.” The 6-foot-2 guard led Warsaw to the 1984 state tourney championship and to a 49-5 record over the past two seasons. “Coach Rhodes always told us ‘to listen

Lakers end season and Kings' stay in K. C.

By WILLIAM R. BARNARD AP Sports Writer The Los Angeles Lakers, who long ago said good-bye to their Pacific Division rivals, helped the Kings bid a probable farewell to Kaneas City. The Lakers, who left Kareem AbdulJabbar and Magic Johnson at home and starting forward James Worthy on the bench, defeated the Kings 122-116 Sunday on the last day of the National Basketball Association regular season. With approval expected on the Kings’ move to Sacramento, it also was likely to be the last NBA game played at Kemper Arena. The victory assured the Lakers of a 20game bulge over the field in the Pacific Division, largest in NBA history: The Washington Bullets won their division by 19 games in 1974-75.

Nets 129, Celtics 118 Micheal Ray Richardson equaled his season-high with 36 points and Buck Williams reached a rebounding milestone as New Jersey handed Boston only its 19th loss in the 82-game regular season. Larry Bird and Kevin McHale scored 23 points each for the Celtics, while Williams had 11 rebounds to give him 1,005 for the season. He is only the second forward in NBA history to have at least 1,000 in each of his first four years. Jazz 104, Spurs 102 Utah edged San Antonio for the No. 6 seeding position in the Western Conference behind Thurl Bailey’s 27 points and 23 by Adrian Dantley.

has been the outsdie force who has picked up the slack.” Grose’s selection for the highest individual award available to a high school senior in Indiana basketball was announced Saturday by the sponsoring Indianapolis Star following a statewide vote by coaches, sports writers and broadcasters. Grose will wear the traditional No.l on his jersey in the annual two-game IndianaKentucky All-Star series in June. As a junior, Grose averaged 21.3 points a game and led the Tigers to their first state championship. He was named tourney Most Valuable Player by The Associated Press. With the graduation loss of two other key players, Grose was given a bigger scoring role in 1984-85 and raised his average to 27.9 sixth-best in the state with a high game of 43 points. “He had a great senior year and but for the needs of the team, he would have had even more points,” said Rhodes, whose Tigers were eliminated in the semistate round by eventual champion Marion. “I think he’ll do very well,” Rhodes said of Grose’s, who is an A student. “I believe Jeff will continue to improve, and he’s at

Calvin Natt, who led the Nuggets with 26 points, hit a free throw with 48 seconds left to trim the Blazers’ lead to 113-112 before Drexler hit a layup for a three-point margin. Then he stole the ball and dunked for the final margin. Pistons 116, Cavaliers 113 Detroit finished the regular season by winning its fifth in a row as Isiah Thomas scored nine points in the fourth quarter against Cleveland, which lost for only the third time in 11 outings.

Lloyd takes title, but Sabatini wins hearts

* J I

c. 1985 N.Y. Times News Service HILTON HEAD ISLAND, S.C. - By lunchtime Sunday, she had defeated two of the world’s top 10 and had become the favorite of the tennis set here, many of whom had become volunteer coaches, shouting encouragement and advice from the stands. And even her loss later to Chris Evert Lloyd in the final of the Family Circle Magazine Cup did not diminish what 14-year-old Gabriella Sabatini accomplished last week in a tournament that might establish her as the most promising of a new generation of players. Lloyd won by 6-4,6-0, the eighth time she had captured the event, and received $34,000. But the most-talked-about player was the unseeded Sabatini, a tall, graceful youngster from Argentina with an assortment of shots that players twice her age would envy. “For 14, she’s very advanced for a tennis player,” Lloyd said. “She hits hard with topspin and she’s got everything but a hard serve. Baseliners mature faster, and me and Tracy Austin were tough at that age, but it is unusual for someone that young to have her court sense and variety of shots.” Earlier in the week, Sabatini defeated Kathy Horvath and Zina Garrison, until Sunday her biggest victories. But within three and a half hours Sunday morning, she had a double victory over Pam Shriver, ranked ninth in the world, and Manuela Maleeva, ranked fifth in matches that had been postponed because of rain on previous days. Although she said she was a bit tired, she made a good showing against Lloyd, ranked No. 2 and top-seeded here. It was appreciated by the crowd, which cheered

his best when the pressure is on,” the coach said. Grose is the latest in a line of Mr. Basketball winners that began in 1939 and includes such players as Oscar Robertson, Dick and Tom Van Arsdale, Rick Mount, George McGinnis, Kent Benson, Kyle Macy, Steve Alford and last year Delray Brooks and Troy Lewis. Grose is the first Mr. Basketball from Warsaw. “My first thought,” Rhodes continued, “went to the fact of how, as a coach, you’re always talking about reaching potential. And Jeff came as close to that as any player I’ve ever had. He took his skills to a higher level, with a great attitude. There are a lot of great players each year, and for him to be selected (Mr. Basketball) is an honor for him and for our program. ” The rest of the Indiana boys’ All-Stars will be announced next Saturday night. Miss Basketball Jodie Whitaker of Austin and the Hoosier girls’ All-Stars were announced last week. The Indiana boys’ and girls’ teams will play their Kentucky counterparts in Rupp Arena in Lexington, Ky., on June 15 and at Indianapolis Market Square Arena on June 22.

Rockets 121, Super Sonics 98 Larry Micheaux scored eight points in the final three minutes of the first half to spark Houston over Seattle. Akeem Olajuwon led eight Houston players in double figures with 17 points, while Tom Chambers paced Seattle with 27. Suns 124, Warriors 111 Rookie guard Jay Humphries scored 13 of his 24 points in the fourth period, including seven in a 34-second span, boosting Phoenix over Golden State. Mavericks 96, Clippers 92 Dallas outlasted Los Angeles despite blowing a 26-point lead in the second half. Rolando Blackman scored 13 of his game-high 26 points in the third quarter as the Mavericks built a 72-46 lead with sVfe minutes left in the period.

every point she won and oohed and aahed when she hit one of her whiplash, topspin forehands or backhands. When the fans groaned in disapproval as a shot by Sabatini was called out, Lloyd turned to them and held her hands a foot apart, showing that they were letting their affections distort their perspective. “They love to see a new face,” Lloyd said. To Sabatini, however, the support was unexpected. “I am very happy and it was like a dream come true,” she said through her coach and interpreter, Patricio Apey. “I have a lot of good feelings about the crowd because Shriver and Evert are Americans, and I loved that support. It gave me more strength.”

Only 'One More Night' for some teams

By BARRY WILNER AP Sports Writer “One More Night. One More Night.” If the New York Islanders, Boston Bruins and Buffalo Sabres want to adopt Phil Collins’ hit song as their theme, it would be understandable following their comebacks at home Sunday night in National Hockey League playoff action. Each of them earned one more night at least of Stanley Cup play with sensational rallies. While the Islanders beat Washington 6-4, Boston took Montreal 7-6 and Buffalo downed Quebec 7-4 to force decisive fifth games in opening-round series, the Winnipeg Jets eliminated the Calgary Flames with a 5-3 decision. Winnipeg advanced to play the Edmonton Oilers in the next round, which begins Thursday. The three undecided first rounds will end Tuesday night with games at Landover, Md., Montreal and

Quebec City. On Saturday night, four series ended in sweeps: Philadelphia over the New York Rangers, the Oilers over the Los Angeles Kings, Minnesota over St. Louis and Chicago over Detroit. Islanders 6, Capitals 4 In a game which featured just about everything, the Islanders stormed back from a 4-2 deficit with four third-period goals. Bryan Trottier won it when he beat Doug Jarvis on a faceoff and shot the puck through the legs of goalie A 1 Jensen with only 68 seconds remaining in regulation. “I threw it at the net and lucked out,” said Trottier, like Jarvis one of the finest 'aceoff men in the game. “If I would’ve looked up, I would’ve missed the puck.” With 30 seconds to go, Islanders defenseman Paul Boutilier intentionally removed the net from its moorings while goalie Billy Smith was without a stick and the puck was loose.
