Cloverdale is wrestling sectional champion for the second year in a row

11 advance to regional round

Clovers pin on another title

By STEVE FIELDS Banner-Graphic Sports Editor If coach David Kiley were a greedy man, he could have been disappointed with his Cloverdale High School wrestling team. Afterall, the Clovers “only” won eight championships and will have “only” 11 wrestlers in the regional. But Kiley is not a greedy man and was very happy after Cloverdale won a second straight Green-castle-IHSAA Wrestling sectional at McAnally Center on Saturday. “It’s a real blessing to work with these young kids,” the veteran coach said. CLOVERDALE dominated the meet as expected, scoring 202 points. South Putnam edged Greencastle 128-126 in a battle for second place and Rockville nipped North Putnam 53-52 in the fight for fourth. “We wrestled as well today as we have since the county tournament,” Kiley said. “Our goal was to get 13 into the finals.” First and second places from the sectional in each of the 13 weight classes advance to the Craw-fordsville-IHSAA regioinal this Saturday. The first session of the regional begins at 10 a.m. (three mats) at the Crawfordsville High School Gym. The semifinals (two mats) are scheduled for 1:30 p.m, third place finals (two mats) at 4 p.m. and the championships at 5 p.m. Tournament season tickets are $5 and championship session tickets are $3. ELEVEN CLOVERS reached the finals and eight will enter the regional as sectional champs. Chad Koosman, Dean Williams, Kevin Shew, Mark Canull. Jeremiah Lavoine, Chris Phelps, Brent Reed

Greencastle-IHSAA Wrestling Sectional champions crowned on Saturday are (front row, from left): Chad Koosman of Cloverdale at 103 pounds, Dean Williams of Cloverdale at 112, Dan Mcllhenny of Rockville at 119, Kevin Shew of Cloverdale at

and Steve Kaufman won championships for Cloverdale. Pat Kirby, Bob O’Brien and Jason Whitaker advance with second places. Cloverdale’s goal to have 13 in the final got sidetracked before the tournament started. Jim Smith, seeded No. 2 at 130 pounds, was ill and could not wrestle and then there was the surprise. Rockville’s Dan Mcllhenny, 16-2 now, surprised Steve Carrell in the first round of the 119-pound class. “We lost a tough match with Carrell, but Mcllhenny is a good kid,” coach Kiley credited. MCILHENNY, SEEDED No. 3, also surprised Greencastle’s Sam Ray, 16-2 and West Central Conference champ, by winning an 11-6 decision. “Each of the teams had some good wrestling today,” Kiley said of the field. “I thought South Putnam wrestled well and Greencastle wrestled well.” South Putnam will have seven in the regional, Mark Fox winning the 130-pound title and Kyle Zeronik the 152. Jeff Starks, Donnie Schilling, Jeff Stinson, Brent Harris and Rob Brown advancing with second place finishes. FOX, 16-9, WAS a mild surprise winner. He was seeded third, but was in a stronger position when Cloverdale’s Smith and North Putnam’s Jim Neatherly double forfeited. Fox reached the championship without wresding, then scored a 5-3 decision over No. 1 seed Brad White of Rockville on a takedown with one second left in the match. Zeronik, 20-5 on the year, beat Cloverdale’s O’Brien for the third time, but had a tougher time of it,

winning just 5-4. Ray Hoover and Brad Gamer head Greencastle’s five-man regional team as sectional champs. Hoover, 18-2 at heavyweight, made it to the semistate last year and this will be Gamer’s fourth straight regional. Sam Ray, Mike Dixon and Bill Tucker advanced with second places. BENNY AULT WILL be North Putnam’s only regional representative, taking second place at 103 pounds. Cloverdale’s O’Brien surprised No. 2 seed Robert Hensley of North Putnam by a 6-3 decision in the first round. Hensley finished third. For the county schools, it was the third or fourth time time the athletes had faced one another. It was clear they knew what to expect of one another, for after several pins early in the tournament, there were only three in the finals. The first pin of the final was also most controversial. Cloverdale’s Shew pinned South’s Schillings 1:33 into the match. Coach Matt Griswold, apparently thinking the pin was called too quick, questioned the official’s call, but the decision was not changed. CLOVERDALE’S PHELPS, 12-4, earned his second regional trip and fifth pin of the year at 5:25 of the 160-pound match against Greencastle’s Joe Tucker. The third and final pin came in the final match, Greencastle’s Hoover, 18-2, pinning Cloverdale’s Whitaker at 3:13. The most active, and heated, championship match came at 171 pounds where Cloverdale’s Reed outscored South’s Harris 13-12. Harris led at the end of the first two periods, but Reed tied the score 31

Boilermakers run into angry Michigan team

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. (AP) Michigan coach Bill Frieder isn’t pleased with his team’s position in the Big Ten race and he’s even more displeased with the treatment the Wolverines received at their last home game. Michigan, a preseason favorite for the conference title, was booed last Monday while suffering its third Big Ten loss to visiting Indiana. THE WOLVERINES’ brief two-game losing streak ended with a 99-88 road victory over Purdue on Sunday. “I cannot believe that they booed our team at Crisler Arena,” Frieder said after the lOth-ranked Wolverines used an aggressive defense, strong rebounding and impressive shooting to hand Purdue its third straight home loss for the first time since Mackey Arena opened in 1967. “You didn’t see them booing Purdue here at the start of the game, because they’re trying to get their team to win. It’s front runners and know it alls, people like that who quit on a team when things are going tough,” Frieder said. “I can’t worry about those people. We’ve got all we can handle with this team.” FRIEDER SAID HE told his players 'not to worry about their unhappy fans. “If they don’t like it, then that’s too bad. Then they’re missing a lot of excitement,” he said of the fans. Those fans probably found little to boo Sunday if they watched the nationally televised game. Michigan shot 67 percent and outrebounded Purdue 31-18. GLEN RICE LED the way, scoring 20 of his 34 points in the first half and grabbing a game-high seven rebounds. Loy Vaught, the nation’s leader in field goal percentage, made all seven of his shots in scoring 15 points. Rumeal Robin-

Clemson coach puts manager into game

By The Associated Press Clemson had Hops but not much hope. And not much else, either. Despite missing six players including two starters and two top reserves who were suspended for the game for violating study hall rules, the toothless Tigers gave 12th-ranked Duke a battle for 16 minutes Sunday before succumbing 92-62. WITH TWO MINUTES left, Coach Cliff Ellis sent 6-foot Dennis Hops, the team’s student manager, into the game and told the other players to make sure he got the ball. “I couldn’t believe he said that. That’s just the greatest thing he could have done,” Hops said. “To give me a shot like that is just a fantasy. He really made some-

They didn’t do as good a job against Indiana.” Rice, No. 4 on Michigan’s alltime list in scoring and field goals, made 11 of 15 shots, including three from 3-point range and was perfect on nine free throw attempts. “WE WORKED HARD on offense to get the picks and hard on defense to get through. I was pleased with the way we ran our offense,” Rice said of the 38 for 57 shooting by Michigan. “It was also important for us to keep an aggressive defense on (Mel) McCants and (Stephen) Scheffler inside.” “Rice is a great shooter. I think the best in America,” said Purdue coach Gene Keady, who was whistled for a technical in each half.
