SA NO V (O r e ) POST Thur» A p ril 30 19 8 1 (Set 3) SUHS to vie at Barlow Invitational -M l II N id * Football draft telecast live by MARK FLOYD Spurts Editor Football widows faced the ultim ate in hor ror this Tuesday when cable television’s ESPN presented the first three rounds of the NFL draft lave Selecting some 80-odd football players takes some time, and some of them were, in deed, odd But even stranger were some of the people in the audience that ESPN in te r viewed. There were few surprises in the first round. South Carolina's Heisman Trophy winning back. George Rogers, went to the Bum Phi 111 ps-coached Saints of New Orleans. The New York Giants, picking second, t<x>k linebacker Lawrence T a y lo r of North Carolina. So far, so good. But the N Y. Jets raised a few eyebrows by selecting UCLA running back Freeman McNeil as the number three pick and the show took off from there. Eyebrows were raised because the Jets were a decent offensive club last year, but woeful ly shy on defensive talent. A powder puff team could have piled it on the Jets. M cN eil’s selection was also something of a surprise because there were a couple of other backs still available who were rated higher by a m ajority of the scouts. But that disturbance was nothing com pared to the trem or which shook The Big Ap pie following the Je t’s second pick In the se cond round, the Jets chose another back, Marion Barber of Minnesota. Yes, THE Marion Barber. That one raised the roof. The show, and the draft, originated from New York and there were a lot of Jets fans in attendance. Not only that, but ESPN had live coverage in a few local establishments where some, shall we say spirited, fans were voicing their opi nions. No one, absolutely no one, wanted the Jets to take another offensive player, much less a second back The booing began and lasted a good five minutes. Several chants began, not the quietest of which was a song wishing farewell to the Jets’ coach. The draft lacked the excitement of last year s selection. There were few surprises and very little suspense. It seems that most teams chose players which the media had already matched them up with. There were few significant trades, like last year when the Jets traded with San Francisco for the se cond selection There some disappointm ents, locally. Portland’s State’s Neil Lomax was not chosen until the second round, 33rd in the draft, a position which won’t help his finan cial bargaining However, he couldn’t have been picked by a better team. St. Louis has an aging quarterback in Jim Hart, who can teach Lomax all he knows in the year or two he’ll remain with the Cards. Also on the team is form er PSU receiver Dave Stief, a favorite target of Lomax two years ago. Absent in the first three rounds was the selection of any U niversity of Oregon players, even standout Vince Goldsmith Goldsmith would be a blue-chipper, if he was three to four inches taller. Even w ith his “ sm a ll" stature, it is surprising that no team took a shot at him — every opposing coach in college raved about him. Defensive players were highly sought, too In fact, 15 of the 28 first round picks were defensive players — many of them backs. That's unusual in the first round, which is usually filled with players in the glam or posi tions quarterback and running back. But there were few QBs in the draft and just one. C alifornia’s Rich Campbell, was tabbed in the first round First round selections did include eight Pac-10 players Two UCLA players, McNeil and defensive back Kenny Easley, were among the top four USC had three in the first round, showing the strength of the Los Angeles schools. Pac-10 champ Washington had one as did Stanford and California 1*6010 by Mark Hoyd Zina Seal, returning a serve, teamed up uith Tracy Tool, Thursday, in a match against Sweet Home. The Sandy High duo lost to Stacy Hillis and Kel ly Stafford 1-6, 6-0, 6-3 in the No. 3 doubles match. Sandy also lost the team match as the host Huskies claimed a 1-3 win. Sweet Home hands Sandy double loss Despite some strong San dy singles play, the Sweet Home Huskies dealt the Pioneers a pair of losses in Timber Valley League ten nis Thursday Sweet Home won the first match 4-3, then juggled its lineup and won an afternoon makeup match 6 1 The Pioneers won all of the singles matches in the open mg contest Sandy Yantes topped Cindy Bramlett 6 0, 6-2; Tami Shafer whitewash ed Erin Ford 6-0, 60 and Jody Bobbins took care of Debbie Hand 6-3, 6-2 But Sweet Home came back to sweep the doubles matches and claim the team win The Huskies' No I doubles team of Marcy V a vK o sky and P a tty Basham, one of the state's top duos, blank<*d Julie Col eman and Sandy Shreeve 6 0, 6- 0 Julie Hotchkiss and Barb Howard followed suit with a 7- 5, 6-0 win over Sandy's Becky Rodrigues and Pat Wesselink The other doubles matches were close, but Sweet Home won them in three sets Stacy Hillis and Kelly Staf ford edged Zina Seal and Tracy Tool 4 6, 6-0, 6 3 and Mary Buhn and Tammie Volz nipped Denise Shokey and Alice Schoppert 5-7, 6-2, 6 3 Sweet Home s p lit up VavKosky and Basham, put them in singles and made the second match a runaway VavKosky beat a stubborn Yantes 7 6, 6-1, Basham top pled Shafer 6-1, 6-0. and Hand came back to upend Robbins 6-3, 6 4 The new lineup gave some confidence to Shreeve and Coleman, however, and the Sandy came up with two big runs in the sixth inning to deal visiting Molalla a 5-4 loss in T im b e r V a lle y League baseball Thursday The Pioneers also suffered a 6 1 defeat to league leading West Linn last week Sandy took a 20 lead against Molalla in the third inning. Troy Bangs led off with a single and went to se cond on a sacrifice by Matt Falgout Mike Lund drew a walk and Mitch Paola sent both runners home with a long double over the right fielder’s head Sandy got another run in the fourth when Keith Powell singled, moved to third on a single by Dave Kirkland and scored on Bangs' squeeze bunt. The Indians fought back with a run in the fourth and two in the sixth, tying the gam e at 3-3. But the Pioneers came back in the sixth with a two run rally that featured just one base hit Mike Contreras led off with a walk and Powell singl ed Bangs also drew a walk, lo a d in g the bases fo r Falgout Falgout then drove in a run the hard way, cat ching a breaking pitch in the face The Sandy senior suf fered a broken nose on the play Paola then walked, forcing in what turned out to be the winning run John Martin pickl'd up the C c Y le r J d i TRACK April 30 - Sandy at Sweet Home 3:45 p m May 1 - Sandy at Barlow In vitational ( MHCC) 3 p m May 7 Molalla at Sandy 3:45 p .m .
