Hoosiers advance at Maui Invitational

LAHAJNA, Hawaii (AP) The two players at the Maui Invitational who will spend Thanksgiving weekend under a microscope are , Billy Owens and Damon Bailey. Tilings got off slowly for both on .« Friday. OWENS, THE preseason All- . American, went 5-for-16 from the : field and scored 11 points as No. 13 • Syracuse beat Toledo 84-68. Bailey, Indiana’s player in waiting for live years, made his col- - legiate debut with five points and - freshman-like mistakes in the eighth-ranked Hoosiers’ 100-78 victory over Northeastern. Syracuse meets lowa State, which beat Chaminade 115-82, in one semifinal tonight and Indiana draws Santa Clara, which beat Loyola Marymount 100-93, in the other. OWENS, THE 6-foot-9 junior who may be the only college player versatile enough to play all five positions,, made up for his lack of scoring by grabbing 16 rebounds. “I started slow and the shots just weren’t falling and I had to find another way to contribute,” Owens said. “Billy had an off game and he ' still had 16 rebounds,” Syracuse coach Jim Boeheim said. “That’s a tribute to how good he is. He won’t have too many offensive games like this. He had two points in the first half and we had 46 and that’s a good sign.” . THE ORANGEMEN struggled I from the field against a variety of defenses thrown at them by the Rockets, but came up big at the free ; throw line, making 11 of 16 over ’ the final 6:58, including eight in a row by Conrad Mcßae. Craig Sutters led the Rockets : with 20 points and 14 rebounds. The 6-3 Bailey, who first came to

the country’s attention as an eighthgrader, started for coach Bob Knight. He had six assists, but was just l-for-3 from the field and commit-, ted five turnovers. “BAILEY PLAYED at a pace he can’t play at at this level,” said Knight, beginning his 20th season at Indiana. “He had a couple of easy chances to score early and didn’t get anything.” Calbert Cheaney had 26 points and Greg Graham added 20 for Indiana, which blew the game open with 10-0 run that featured some good Indiana defense. Maurice Brighthaupt led Northeastern with 26 points and 13 rebounds. Santa Clara ended an eight-game losing streak to the Lions as 7-1, 285-pound Ron Reis had 29 points and 17 rebounds. The game was the first for Loyola Marymount under Jay Hillock, an assistant to Paul Westhead for the past five seasons. lowa State dominated the Silverswords of Division II up front. The Cyclones’ frontline of Victor Alexander, Paul Doerrfeld and Justus Thigpen were a combined 20-for-23 from the field with 53 points and 26 rebounds. lowa State outrebounded Chaminade 46-29 overall.

Arizona used a 42-11 run to turn a nine-point deficit into a 22-point lead, the 6-foot-10 Rooks had 19 of his 31 points and seven of his 10 rebounds, the 6-6 Mills 17 of his 29 points and five of his 13 rebounds and the 6-11 Williams 8 of his 10 points and six of his eight rebounds. “That was our biggest fear going into the game, losing the boards,” Arkansas coach Nolan Richardson said. “They did a tremendous job

rebounding” Arizona (4-0) outrebounded the Razorbacks 54-32 overall and 3114 in the second half. “OUR PHYSICAL strength on the boards told down the stretch,” Arizona coach Lute Olson said. “This was a team win. Mills played well in all aspects of his game. Sean got it done in both halves and Williams got the job done on the boards.” In the third-place game, No. 6 Duke defeated Notre Dame 85-77 behind Bill McCaffrey’s 10-for-16 shooting and 21 points. In the title game, Arizona trailed 55-46 with 13 minutes remaining and 57-49 with 12:28 to go. But Arkansas (3-1) went the next 4:38 without scoring as the Wildcats took control with the inside play of Rooks and Mills, a transfer from Kentucky who was named MVP of the tournament. Mills, who was 4-for-6 from 3-point range to complement his inside play, scored 25 points in the semifinals against Notre Dame. “I FELT DOWN THE stretch we were the stronger team,” Olson

said. “Our physical strength was the key.” A tip-in by Mills started a run of 13 consecutive points by Arizona. The next 9 were scored by Rooks, who surpassed his previous careerhigh of 24 last season against UCLA. “During halftime, our guys made it clear the big guys had to upgrade their performance,” Rooks said. “We weren’t playing like we should have. The second half, we were more aggressive. Richardson said he was more upset by his team’s two technical fouls during Arizona’s 13-0 run than the loss. The Wildcats, however, missed all four free throws after the technical fouls on Oliver Miller and Todd Day. Mills scored 10 points, including two 3-pointers, to help Arizona lead 29-21 with 7:09 left in the first half. But Arkansas responded with its best stretch of the game, outscoring the Wildcats 24-8 for a 45-37 halftime lead. Day scored 11 of his 18 first-half points during the surge.

South Decatur romps to 1A title

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) South Decatur and Indianapolis Scecina have their first state championships, and Fort Wayne Dwenger has a second. Meanwhile, the 4A and 5A state finalists will stage rematches today in the Hoosier Dome from championship games of recent years. THE PASSING combination of Shawn Blaich and Josh Parker carried South Decatur to a 44-15 romp over Southwood in the Class A championship game Friday. The Cougars made their way into the championship game by erasing a 13-0 deficit last Friday night, beating North Putnam 16-13 in the semistate. In 2A play, Toby Jacobs’ 72-yard punt return for a touchdown with 9:20 to play was the difference as Scecina held on to beat River Forest 28-27. And in 3A, split end Euell Wilson scored on a 69-yard reverse and a 48- yard bomb as Frat Wayne Dwenger exploded past New Palestine 56-14. TODAY’S 4A final pits last year’s state finalists, No. 1 Hobart (13-0 ) and No. 2 Franklin Central (13-0), at 12:30 p.m. nobart prevailed by a 17-7 margin a year ago. And in the 5A ranks, it will be the 1988 finalists, No. 3 Indianapolis Ben Davis (12-1) and No. 4 Marion (13-0). Two years ago, Ben Davis won 43-0 in their title game. Blaich completed 10 of 19 passes for 192 yards and two touchdowns as No. 3 South Decatur (13-0) wrapped up an unbeaten season. Five of his passes went to Parker, worth 156 yards. Blaich finished the year with 34 touchdown passes, tops in the state, and was second in passing yardage with 2,573. PARKER ALMOST singlehandedly turned the game around after No. 5 Southwood (12-2) took a 7-0 lead. His two-point conversion catch after Blaich’s 3-yard run put the Cougars on top for good at 8-7. And he kept them there when he returned a fumble 27 yards for a touchdown in the second quarter, then hooked up with Blaich on touchdown passes of 71 and 29 yards in the third period. South Decatur coach Ken Wendling said he was concerned early. “We came out very sluggish, and Southwood completely dominated the game at the start,” he said. “In the second quarter, we scored, kicked off, and Southwood ran one play. Josh picked up a fumble and ran it in for us. It was pretty much downhill the rest of the way.” NO. 5 SOUTHWOOD (12-2) committed six turnovers, including four interceptions by quarterback Michael Campbell. Scecina (9-5) earned a measure of distinction. Its five losses are the most by a championship team in any class. Coach Ott Hurrle said the Crusaders won’t apologize for their record, however. “A lot has been said of that,” said Hurrle. “But if you talk to the coaches (we play), they say we play good football. We just get worn down playing teams like (SA) Warren Central. We have everybody playing both ways.” SCECINA DIDN’T get worn down against River Forest (11-3) despite trailing 19-7 at halftime. “We were stopping ourselves,” said quarterback Chris Hutt, who completed 14 of 23 passes for 266

Here are the champions

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) The 42 teams that hive won Indiana high school football championships from 1973-90, ranked according to the number of titles (x-playing Saturday for 1990 championship): 5 Carmel 4 Sheridan 3 x-Franklin Central 3 Mishawaka Marian 2 x-Hobart 2 x-Indpls Ben Davis 2 Blackford 2 Brownsburg 2 Ft.

yards and a record-tying three touchdowns in the run-and-shoot offense. He ended the year as the state’s fourth-leading quarterback with 2,153 passing yards. “I wasn’t panicking. I felt we could come back on them.” Hutt threw a 19-yard touchdown pass to Jacobs in the third quarter and connected with Brian Fields on a 45-yard TD throw on the second play of the fourth quarter to put the Crusaders on top 21-19. Fields had caught a 12-yard scoring pass in the first quarter. BUT JACOBS supplied the clincher. Jacobs gathered in a punt at his own 28-yard line and started to his right, then did a complete 360-degree spin and headed to his left. Once he turned the comer he was gone, 72 yards to the end zone. River Forest wasn’t finished though. The Ingots cranked up thenwishbone attack once more and cut the lead to 28-27 when Mark Grissom scored on a 1-yard run and Kris Baimakovich caught a twopoint conversion pass. LARRY SHACKELFORD returned the ensuing kickoff 44 yards, but Hutt was sacked on a second-down pass attempt and fumbled the ball away. The Ingots reached the Scecina 33-yard line before Jacobs sacked quarterback Anthony Alfano on a comer blitz, then defended against Baimakovich on a fourth-down pass. Baimakovich caught the ball out of bounds inside the Scecina 15, and the ball went over on downs. HURRLE SAID Jacobs has been an all-purpose performer. “Toby’s been a running back for us, a receiver, and next year he’ll probably be our quarterback,” the coach said. No. 1-ranked Dwenger (14-0) scored two touchdowns in the final 1:43 of the first half to break open a close game and coast past No. 7 New Palestine (12-2). Tailback Brian Baker rushed 24 times for 144 yards and touchdowns of 1, 5 and 1 yard. Wilson caught four passes for 111 yards and supplied two of Dwenger’s three second-quarter TDs. “THAT’S THE best team we’ve played in several years,” said New Palestine coach Marvin Shepler. He said Dwenger had “too much speed. I can analyze that real quick.” Wilson, who has been timed at 4.5 seconds in the 40-yard dash, said he had been looking forward to playing on the Hoosier Dome’s Astroturf surface. “They said it would make me faster,” he said. Wilson showed both speed and strength on his 69-yard reverse. He broke four tackles on the play, two of them in the backfield, before sprinting down the far sideline for the Saints’ second TD. DEFENSIVE BACK Bill Lebrato scored two touchdowns for the Saints on an interception return and a fumble return. Kevin Carretta intercepted two passes to tie a championship game record and caught a touchdown pass. Quarterback Chris Dittoe completed 9 of 11 passes for 159 yards. Andy Miller caught two touchdown passes for New Palestine as the two teams combined for a championship game record 70 points. Dwenger set a 3A record with 56 points, falling just three points shy of the overall mark set by Sheridan in 1988.
