By Robert Weber
Emeiaij Score- RecoMc
Schools from all over tin* country won; after
Stephanie Warren to play volleyball for them, but
last week the two-time Oregon prep player of the
year dec ided there was no place like home
Warren, who attends Gresham High School
near Portland, h.ts l>een (ailed the most talented
high school volleyball player ever to come out of
Oregon She announced her intention last week
to attend Oregon next fall on a volleyball scholar
ship
Yolleylwll Monthly recently named the 5-foot
1 t senior to their first team prep all-Ameru an list
after she finished the 1‘tttO campaign with t>74
kills She also averaged three blocks a game and
compiled a ‘17-percent service percentage
Due to NCAA regulations. Oregon Coat h Gerry
Gregory and his staff an- unable to comment on
Warren or anything else relating to recruiting un
til after a letter of intent is received S< hools can
not at cept letters of intent until Feb 13.
Central (Catholic 's Kick Izirenz and Gresham's
Kod Jones an1 two emu hes who couldn't find
enough good things to sav about Warren
"She's itu redible." Jones said "She is a domi
nant for< e on the court She made a big statement
at state this year We got to state and she just took
over and turned it into showtime
Lorenz, who has coached some of the state's
finest prep nelters while at St Mary's Academy
and Central Gat hoi ic. rates Warren in the same
league as some of tile slate's all-time greats
Tin verv impressed with Stephanie." lzjrenz
said. "She's right up their with the elite players
this state has ever put out She is the premier hit
ter ami hliH ker in the state and has been lor the
last two years "
Uirenz said that Warren’s talents aren't limited
to her play on the court
"I find Stephanie to lie a real down-to-earth kid
who hasn't let all the puhlu itv and attention go
to her head." Lorenz said "She’s very well
thought of by the other players around the league
be< ause she just goes out and plays her game and
doesn't gloat."
Staying close to home was something Warren
never touched on with (ones until after she had
made her decision to attend Oregon
"We had talked about the whole thing many
times before." (ones said, "but she never really
told me bow important it was to stay close to
home until the very end."
When Warren arrives in Kugene next fall, she'll
have some in-state company.
Fellow first-team all-State selection Angee Hen
derson announced two weeks ago that she in
tends to enroll at Oregon in the fall on a vol
leyball scholarship.
While Henderson. Thurston's 6-foot-l star who
wits ret ently tabbed Midwestern League player of
the year, hasn't received as much attention as
Warren, she has definitely raised the eyebrows of
coaches around the state.
"They beat us in two straight games down in
Bend this year, and she had a career game against
us," Lorenz s.tid "When she and Stephanie get
down to Kugene and into Gerry's program they
are going to lie awesome."

convention.
Eugene and Sacramento. Cal
if were considered the favor
ites to host the '92 Trials, and
Eugene seemed to have a good
chance of hosting the trials af
ter the resurfacing of Stevenson
Track was completed at Hay
ward Field in 1988
Hayward Field hosted the
Trials in 1908, 1972. 1976 and
1980 Hayward Field also host
ed the 1984 and 1988 NCAA
Track and Field Champion
ships and will host the N’CAAs
again in May
Eugene and Hayward Field
were thought to have the inside
track because of their long
standing trai k and field tradi
tion
Instead the committee < hose
New Orleans and Tad Gormley
Stadium to host the Trials
Tad Gormley Stadium is cur
rently undergoing a $1 fi-nul
lion renovation project that will
reportedly turn the 29.(inn-seat
stadium, "a state-of-the-art fa
i ilit\
"We pii ked New Orleans be
cause we felt their site would
truly he a state-of-the-art facili
ty." Pal Rico, chairman of
TAC's nine-member trials site
selection committee, said.
Oregon Track (ilub memlier
Tom jordan. who led Eugene's
effort at hosting the Trials, was
surprised by the committee's
selection of New Orleans.
"All along we've said it's
50-50 for Eugene, but we're all
strongly surprised that it's New
Orleans and that it was such a
one-sided victory." Jordan
said.
Although New Orleans
doesn't have a big track histo
ry. the city has hosted seven
Super Howls and two men's
NCAA Final Fours
That factor was reportedly a
big reason in New Orleans
landing the Trials.
