N ow he has one o f his own. The burly North C arolina center m ade all but one o f his 11 shots and scored 26 points in a dom inating perform ance, controlling the paint and leading the T ar H eels past Illi­ nois 75-70 M onday night. In the process, M ay forced one o f his defenders to foul out and left another w ith four fouls. And M ay left w ith the M ost O utstanding Player aw ard. No surprise there. T he son o f Scott M ay carried N orth C arolina to the Final Four by averaging 21.5 points and 11.8 rebounds in the tournam ent, slightly better than his regular-season num bers. W hen M ay and his team m ates arrived in St. Louis, he show ed them the footage from the 1976 final, w here his father and Indiana com ­ pleted an undefeated season with a victory over M ichigan. M ay had the tape since high school and had seen it before, but he saved one final view ing for the T ar H eels. Then they w ent out and claim ed the N CA A title, sprinting aw ay to a big lead before holding o ff a late com eback by the 111 ini. M ay added 10 rebounds, grabbing the carom after a las, m iss by Illinois' Luther H ead in the final seconds.

(AP photo) M ay’s 26 points m atched the total his father scored in the final 29 years ago, leaving Sean w ith quite a night on his 21st birthday. “T his celebration is a lot better than that ’76 celebration, ‘cause it’s my celebration and this team ,” he said. “ My dad talked about it for so m any years, and I never really understood w hat it was like, I never won anything on this level.” The Illini had rarely faced som e­ one so rugged as M ay, listed at 6- foot-9 and 250 pounds. A nd they w ere ill-equipped to handle him, particularly w hen 6 -fo o t-10 center Jam es Augustine left w ith five fouls. Reserve Jack Ingram finished with four. “It’s tough to stop M ay,” Illini coach Bruce W eber said. “They had probably m ore inside threat with M ay than w e had, and it made the difference in the gam e.” In the final 20 gam es o f the sea­ son, M ay had 15 double-doubles, and he added the final one w hen it m attered most. M ay d id n ’t take a shot after m aking tw o free throw s with 4:21 left to give the T ar Heels a 70-67 lead, but he found other w ays to help. “It’s been unbelievable,” May said. "M y team m ates, friends, fam ­ ily, they supported us. I’ll never forget this till the day I die. T his is the best m om ent I ’ ve ever had i n my w hole life.” Baltimore Orioles ’ Sammy Sosa acknowledges the crowd's ap­ plause as he leaves the field following their 4-0 opening-day win over the Oakland Athletics Monday in Baltimore.

Visit to Jamaica proves successful C oncordia softball coach Carrie Kosderka-Farrell co u ld n 'tg e, home from the airport during the ice storm this w inter, but it d id n ’t matter. The second-year coach had ju s, returned from a week in Jam aica doing som ething she loves - coach­ ing softball to young people. “ I m e, the new com m issioner of softball in Jam aica w hile he was doing business in Portland last year,” K osderka said. “ He is doing everything he can to rebuild their softball program and he w anted me to go over there to help start that p ro ce ss.” Kosderka-Farrell spent her m orn­ ings w orking with coaches, teach­ ing fundam entals and drills w hile trying to grasp the culture o f Jam ai­ can softball. “Jam aican softball is on the low end o f the totem pole w hen it com e to athletics,” K osderka-Farrell said. “ In Jam aica, the main sports are soccer, track and cricket.” She spent her afternoons prac­ ticing with the about 50 girls for three hours. Each day had a differ­ ent focus on softball fundam entals such as hitting, fielding, and pitch­ ing. W hile m any o f the girls she w orked with w ere athletic, they lacked the training, according to Kosderka-Farrell. She also found ou, that a lot o f the Jam aica athletes w an, to study i in the United States. As part o f an educational clinic, she gave a pre­ sentation on C oncordia and hopes to bring a couple athletes over this sum m er to see the cam pus. “It was an am azing experience and the people were so inviting,” Kosderka-Farrell said. “M y hus­ band and I got to see so many things we would have never seen before. It w asquiteaculturechange. In the states, we get so used to having everything a, our finger tips." HOLY LOCKDOWN ■O o m the Church U m l Bteck Progress HOLY Lockdow n BOOK ON SALE NOW!!!
