B-4 SPORTS THE CINCINNATI ENQUIRER Tuesday, November 1 5, 1983 Prep Scene Fremont Hopes Defense Will Hobble Princeton Chattanooga Visit Convinces Ivery but Princeton, of course, won the money game last Saturday. "We hear Princeton has a very skilled backfleld with (halfback James) Brown, (halfback Vlnnle) Simpson and (quarterback Michael) Taylor," said Moore. "They can break you from a lot of different angles." MOORE HOPES his defense can be equal to the task. The Little Giants have been quite sturdy in that area, having allowed only 45 points in 11 games. Ross has six shutouts, including three in a row.

The defensive leaders are linebackers Derek Isaman and Chris Simmons and safety Jim Hufford, who has eight Interceptions. Offensively, Ross doesn't have anyone the caliber of Princeton's Brown or Simpson. The Little Giants make up for it with balance. Ross, like Princeton, is a run-oriented team. Four runners tailback Jeff Gentry and fullbacks Mike Palomo, Todd Beatty, and Simmons-will be shuttled in and out, depending on situations.

Gentry, a 5-10, 170-pound senior, is the top ground gainer with 750 yards. Palomo, a stocky 5-5, 158-pounder, Is the other starter. Quarterback Kevin Wilhelm has passed for 800 yards and seven touchdowns, numbers similar to those of Princeton quarterback Taylor. "We're not very big," said Moore. "We have offensive linemen who go 220, 205, and 200, but the other two guys are 165 and 160.

We're Just an average-sized Division I team." Moore says he didn't project his team to get this far. "We've had teams with more talent," he said, "but these guys have worked well together." The game at Welcome will represent a homecoming of sorts for the 38-year-old Moore, who played high school football at Dayton Northmont. The Ross coach is also not unfamiliar with Cincinnati-area teams, his teams having played Elder and LaSalle several years back. BY TOM GROESCHEN Enquirer Reporter Fremont Ross, Princeton's opponent in the Ohio Division I semifinal football playoffs, is one of those "we're-glad-to-be-here" teams. Ross coach Wayne "Pete" Moore has an explanation.

"This is our first time in the playoffs," Moore said Monday in a telephone Interview. "Three times before this, we missed getting In by less than a point (in the Harbin computer ratings). The last time was 1980. I was beginning to wonder if we'd ever get in, so this Is really gratifying." Ross finished third In the final Associated Press Ohio Class AAA poll, behind Moeller and Akron Garfield. Moore's Little Giants, 10-0-1, will play Princeton, 9-2, Saturday at 7:30 p.m.

at Dayton's Welcome Stadium. Ross defeated archrival Sandusky, 7-0, in last week's playoff opener at Fremont. Fremont Ross Is 35 miles east of Toledo. The town has about 18,000 people. "We're just a little city school," said Moore.

DESPITE HAVING never appeared in the Ohio playoffs, Ross has quite a football tradition. The school's football history dates back to the turn of the century. Denver Broncos running back Rob Lytle Is a Fremont Ross product. Moore Is 54-23-4 In eight years as coach. The Little Giants won the Buckeye Conference this year, defeating league foes Sandusky, Lorain Admiral King, Lorain Senior, Findlay, Marion, and Elyria.

They were tied by Toledo St. Francis, 7-7. In the Buckeye Conference, the Ross-Sandusky rivalry is akin to the Moeller-Princeton games. Both series were also renewed in back-to-back weeks at the end of the year. Oddly, both Ross-Sandusky games were decided by scores of 7-0 (Ross won both), and both Moeller-Princeton games were 28-21 affairs.

Moeller won the regular season game, Woodward's Darryl Ivery, regarded as one of the city's top five college basketball prospects, will sign a national letter-of-lntent today with the University of Tennessee-Chattanooga. Ivery, a 6-foot-6, 207-pound senior center, is taking advantage of the early Nov. 9-16) signing period for high school seniors. Last season, he averaged 15.7 points and 12.3 rebounds per game and shot better than 60 from the floor. "Lately, Tennessee-Chattanooga has put in the greatest effort to sign him," said Woodward coach Larry Miller.

"Their head coach, Murray Arnold, came to see Darryl and he was the only head coach to do that." Miller said that Ivery's final choices were Chattanooga, Kansas State, and Mississippi. He had visited Chattanooga and Ole Miss. Chattanooga, a member of the Southern Conference, has been successful recently, with a 74-17 record over the last three years. Ivery, along with the Goode twins, Vernard and Lenard, figures to make Woodward one of the top teams in the city this season. Roll Of Honors Cris Carter of Middletown, Alex Higdon of Princeton and coach Steve Klonne of Moeller have won the Associated Press' major awards in the Ohio Southwestern District this season.

Carter, a 6-foot-3, 175-pound senior, earned the Class AAA District Back of the Year honors. He's the brother of Indiana Pacers' regular Butch Carter and starred as a split end and safety for the Middies this year. The 6-5, 230-pound Higdon, a senior tight end, may rank as the top major college recruit in the Cincinnati area in 1983. He won the Class AAA area Lineman of the Year title. Klonne led Moeller to 10 straight regular-season victories, streching the Crusaders' all-time state record to 58 in a row.

However, Moeller was beaten by Princeton, 28-21, In the first round of the Division I playoffs. An area panel of sports writers selected Klonne as the district's big-school Coach of the Year. In Class AA, Greg Baker of Springboro, who gained 5,108 yards in his career, was the Back of the Year, Jim Brlede of Hamilton Badln the Lineman of the Year and Butch McPherson of Dayton Northridge the Coach of the Year. South Charleston Southeastern, undefeated in 10 regular-season contests, dominated the area Class A selections with Rod Kaf fenbarger the Back of the Year and the retiring John West Coach of the Year. Tony Brausch of Clinton-Massie and Melvin Campbell of Cincinnati Hillcrest shared the area Class A linemen of the year honors.

Athletic directors of the other MVC DARRYL IVERY Tennessee-Chattanooga bound schools-Cincinnati Country Day, Landmark Christian, Lockland, New Miami, St. Bernard and Summit Country Day-recently approved the Stingers' entrance to the conference. "We've been trying to get in for a couple of years," said Seven Hills athletic director Dick Snyder. "It gives our teams some league trophies to shoot for." The Stingers' boys basketball team will play an MVC schedule thli winter.

"The team is very excited about It," said Snyder. The Seven Hills girls' basketball team won't join the league until the 1984-85 season. "The boys already had a lot of MVC schools on the schedule, but the girls didn't," said Martin.

We're going to stay at a motel In Middletown Friday night and we'll only be about 25 minutes from the stadium." Brown will be working in practice this week to rekindle Just a small portion of the old offensive flame. The Bearcats could do almost nothing offensively last week against Memphis State. "If they (Memphis) hadn't given us something and let (Jason) Stargel break out for that touchdown pass, we might not have scored," Brown said, obviously still smarting from the 43-10 pounding by the Tigers, with 30 of those points coming In the last minutes of the game. "I've still got some scars from that one," he said of the breakdown.

"I have never been in a game like that where it was dead even until the last five minutes and then just fall apart." Brown, who said he felt the Bearcats "lost their poise" rather than actually gave up last week, sounded pleased that UC had a big rival to prepare for this week. "Thank goodness we're playing a team like Miami," he said. "It's tough to get over a game like the one last Saturday, but getting ready for Miami will help us forget." THE BEARCATS defeated Temple early In the season after Brown gave all the players new pants just before the game started. He tried the same stunt last week, the Bearcats coming out of the locker room wearing new black game pants. BY TERRY FLYNN Enquirer Reporter Playing football in the morning doesn't concern University of Cincinnati head football coach Watson Brown.

He's more concerned about getting a little life out of his offense than whether the Bearcats play a.m. or p.m. UC concludes the topsy-turvy 1983 season Saturday in Oxford, Ohio, against Miami in the oldest rivalry west of the Allegheny Mountains. The opening kickoff is set for 11 a.m. at the new Yager Stadium.

"Playing in the morning doesn't present any problems for us," Brown said. "We are doing things a little different this year than has been done here In the past for a morning game at Miami. We'll go A RECORD which has stood for 33 years will almost certainly fall Saturday when senior wide receiver Bill Booze catches a pass. That will be 25 straight games with a reception for Booze, breaking the record set in 1948-49-50 by Jim Kelly, now the UC assistant athletic director. Additionally, defensive back Robert Glbbs can tie a school record of six Interceptions in one season if he snares a Miami aerial.

"If I get two (Interceptions) I can break the record, right?" Glbbs asked with a grin. 5i5195 FaaBaBHB1 INSTALLED I Nebraska Near-Unanimous No. 1 In AP Poll College Football THl MOST AMAZING STOM IN CINCINNATI K1I ference In the Sugar Bowl, remained in third place with 1,072 points, while the losers slipped from fourth to seventh. ence regulations and received his assurances that such an unfortunate situation will not recur," the statement said.
