Of The Year Is:

Denmark Reid of Jefferson High School. The 6 foot guard led the Demos to
a 14 to 9 record in the 1992-93 season, with a 24.6 scoring average. A deadly
shooter from the 3 point range, his overall game was much improved this
season.

play at the University of Portland next season.
We at the Portland Observer take our hats off to Denmark and look forward
to his having an outstanding four years at the University of Portland.

a lost to last years champions. Sheldon,
72-65. After that, Benson won three
games in a row. The first over Bend

David Douglas 50-44.
In the consolation championship
came Tech came through again, and
scored a 59-51 as four player led
the scoring. Center James Udoka
played all but two minutes of the game
and scored 16 points and has a game
high of 11 rebounds. Guard Ricky
Briggs had an outstanding tourna
ment. He did not make the All-Tour
nament Team, but he should have.
Ricky scored 13 points, had 5 re
bounds. 6 assits and 3 steals. Jeff
Naylor added 11 points. And super
Sophomore Jason Franklin played
very well in his first state tourna
ment, scored 10 points.
Wilson, on the other hand did
not have a very good tournament at
all, losing both games they played,
72-52 to Tigard. Tigard eventually
won the tournament with a 52-48 win
over metro league Hillsboro, Central
Catholic.
The Trojans 70-59. Wilson had
34 turnovers in its tw o games. Wilson
will be back as a better basketball
team, but last week was not very good
for Wilson.
F re sh m a n T ryon M anlove,

TEEN WEIGHT
The weight people gain in their teens can have lasting health ramifications,
according to researchers evaluating the long-term consequences of adoles
cent weight gain. Results from the study o f508 individuals-half overweight
and half lean as teens-who had participated in the 1922-1935 Harvard
Growth study from first grade through high school show that carrying
excess weigh between ages B a n d 18predicted an earlierdeath among men
and a higher disease risk for both men and women.
Men w ho were overwe ight as teens were twice as likely to die from coronary
heart disease than those who were slim. Women who were overweight as
teenagers were eight times more likely to report difficulty with routine
activilies-walking one-quarter mile, climbing stairs, lifting things-and

Cable On Channels 30 & 38
were at higher risk for disease overall.

Baseball and Computers
Everywhere you look these days. computers have taken over. And while
thev have made life easier and more efficient in many wavs, we all have
had experiences where they created more problems and frustrations than
thev solved. Baseballs experience with computers is nodillerent
wlme
they certainly make the manager s job easier, they sometimes just end
up adding to his frustrations.
.
,
As in no other sport, statistics are a vital part ol baseball, long before
computers came along, managers used statistics to determine whether
a switch hitter s batting average was better from the left or right side,
or to size up a batter s ability to deliver a -clutch" hit with runners in
scoring position.
Pitchers also make use of static ics. Pitchers scheduled to start the next
day often can be found in the dugout charting key information on oppos
ing batters. These statistics, together with scouting reports and personal
I experience allow pitchers to develop a laiilv food idea of each ballet s
tendencies, l or example, they know which players nevei swing at a hist
pitch. as well asjhose who always try to hit the first pilch.
