SPORTS Monday, February 29, 1988 KERRVILLE DAILY TIMES-13 Times File Photo by Cliff Newell TAYLOR TIPTON OF TIVY Shot A Blazing 67 Taylor Tipton Wins Tourney At Del Rio Tivy's Taylor Tipton was at his best in winning medalist honors at the Del Rio Invitational on Saturday. Tipton shot a final round 67, following a 75 on Friday, for a tournament best of 67. Coach Mark Gilbreath said, "Taylor was outstanding. He had no bad shots at all. If he hadn't missed a few putts, he would have had a 64.

Besides Tipton's fine play, the Tivy team sliced 25 strokes from its previous tournament outing. The Antlers finished seventh in the team standings. "It's good to see that we're improving so much," Gilbreath said. "We're getting where we need to be." The boys varsity team plays next at Pflugerville on Thursday. The Tivy girls varsity team, which placed third at the San Antonio Tournament last week, plays at Devine on Wednesday.

ITM Girls 'Fabulous' In First Meet Of Year LAKE Ingram Tom Moore Lady Warriors, in their first meet of the season, scored 209 points to take top honors at the Lake Travis Relays Saturday near Austin. "We looked fabulous," Ingram girls track coach Bruce Faust said. "For this early in the season, we had some outstanding performances. We may have something special here this season." Taking two first places for Ingram was senior Tracy Hesson in the 3,200 and runs. She was clocked in 12:43.26 in the 3,200 and 5:45.4 in the 1,600.

CALGARY, Alberta (AP) The wildest Winter Olympics, etched by the skates of Boitano and Witt and stamped by the skis of the Flying Finn, Tomba la Botnba and Eddie the Eagle, ended in a joyous tribute to sports and world peace. These were Games of grand performances and heart-tugging drama and they closed Sunday night with flashy skating, raucous dancing, a million "yah-hoos" and many a tear rolling down cheeks.

America roared for Bonnie Blair, wept for Dan Jansen and suffered with Debi Thomas. Canada basked in the glory of Brian Orser, Liz Manley and Karen Percy and did itself proud by hosting all nations with style and charm. Tiny Soviet skater Ekaterina Gordeeva lit up the Games with a brilliant smile and jubilant ballet and became a symbol of her country's grace in victory. The Soviets made many new friends with their personal touch of glasnost and won renewed respect by dominating the competition with a record 11 golds, nine silvers and nine bronzes in 46 events. THESE WERE made-for-TV Games, the longest in history, 16 days spread over three weekends for the ratings war, packaged for prime time but apparently not worth the $309 million ABC paid tor them.

The network says it may have lost $30 million on its 94Vfc-hour show, the same amount the Games organizers think they made. The U.S. Olympic Committee asked New York Yankees boss George Steinbrenner to probe America's failure to win more than six medals, its worst showing relative to the Moore), 1:54.9. 400-Relay: 2nd (Kayleen Birck, Sarinana and Moore), 53.0.

On the last day, U.S. bobsledders missed a bronze by just two-hundredths of a second. Canada also is investigating why its heavy spending on Olympic training resulted in only five medals, none of them gold. East Germany didn't quite catch the Soviets, finishing with nine golds and 25 medals overall, but it gave the Games some of their greatest performers. Katarina Witt wowed the figure skating judges and crowd as she tap-danced in blue feathers to "Hello, Dolly," then seduced them as the temptress "Carmen" to win the gold.

"I AM CARMEN," she said, and there was little disagreement. The 22-year-old East German beauty with the flair of a Hollywood actress left her fans a final memory with a double encore show in the exhibition Sunday night. Brian Boitano, a Nureyev on skates from Sunnyvale, leaped higher than anyone in his gold medal routines, and thrilled the crowd with his swashbuckling closing show. No skater, though, pumped up the fans as much as Canada's kids, Brian Orser and the silver belle, Liz Manley. Each received thunderous standing ovations Sunday and gave the crowds glittering farewells.

Debi Thomas, too, made an emotional departure after letting the gold literally slip away Saturday night in one of her worst performances ever and settling for bronze. She recovered a little on Sunday and skated out her blues in a shimmering gold dress. World records were set in nearly all the speed skating events, but personalities made these Games special. Flying Finn Matti Nykanen, once a barroom brawler who harnessed his aggressiveness to challenge the skies, won three golds with his soaring, poetic flights in ski jumping. Alberto Tomba, the cocky 21-year-old La Bomba, set off a wild Italian celebration by powering to gold medals in the slalom and giant slalom.

NO OLYMPIAN won more attention, had more fun and gave more joy to fans than Eddie "The Eagle" Edwards, the overweight, under-trained, ski jumping Briton with the bottle-thick glasses and indefatigable grin. Some said he invented a new sport ski dropping but he reminded everyone that these Games are more about trying than winning. Bonnie Blair, smaller than her East German rivals, imbued the Games with the spirit of the pure amateur who fights against all odds to be the best she can be. Blair, the toast of Champaign, 111. and all America, won the 500-meter speed skating gold in world-record time and took a bronze in the 1,000.

The only medal Dan Jansen won was the USOC's Olympic Spirit Award, a bronze medallion encased in glass that meant as much as any gold. No one who saw these Games could forget his courage in racing hours after the death of his sister. Antlers Perform Well At First Meet AUSTIN The Tivy boys track team got off to a strong start by taking second place at the Chapparal Relays at Austin Westlake on Saturday. The Antlers scored 102 points, coming in behind champion Westlake, which always dominates its meet, with 181 points. Coach Charlie Dobbs said, "We performed real well, especially considering we hadn't had any clock work yet.

We didn't give up in any races and that was the main thing. Tivy had no individual champions, but the Antlers did pick up several second places. Sophomore Scott Sralla was second in both the shot put (45'3 Vt) and discus (151'11 Vz). Senior Larry Garcia was runnerup in the 300 meter hurdles (41.23). Sophomore Joel Maldonado was second in the 3200 meters in 10:04.10, finishing behind district rival Randall Grizzle of Hays.

Tivy's best finish in a relay was second in the distance medley. Running legs were Anthony Brown, Trey Northcutt, Joey Lopez and Joel Maldonado. Their time was 11:19.67. Other top individuals were Robert Pride, fourth in the 100 meters (11.24), Jeff Gelsone, fourth in the discus (138'1), and Vincent Garcia, fifth in the 800 meters Tivy was third in the 1600 meter relay in 3:30.87 with Gar- cia, Northcutt, Brown and Pride; fourth in the sprint medley relay in 3:53.44 with Paul Echols, Bruce Hawkins, Damon Edmonds and Vincent Garcia; fifth in the 3200 relay in 9:00.7 with J.R. Alexander, Rene Garcia, Geron Bryan and Lopez; fourth in the sprint relay in 44.47 with Garcia, Danshell Cooper, Hawkins and Pride.

The Antler freshman boys team placed fourth with 83 points. Winners were Donnie Laurence in the shot put, Monroe Anderson in the discus, Daniel Schoening in the 110 high hurdles, Yoncy Edmonds in the 100 meters, and Chris Garcia in the 1600 meters. Other top finishers were Laurence, fourth in the discus; Garcia, second in the 800 meters; Robert Nance, third in the 400 meters; Schoening, second in the 300 hurdles; Marty Garcia, sixth in the 300 hurdles. In the relays, Tivy was third in the 400 meters with Monroe Anderson, Mike Chase, Donnie Laurence and Yoncy Edmonds; third in the 800 meters with Marty Garcia, Laurence, Chase and Edmonds. Tivy varsity boys and girls teams will compete at Smithson Valley's Ranger Relays on Saturday.

The freshman boys will compete at Boerne on Friday. Tivy Clobbers Corpus Christ! King, 11-3 FREDBG. The Tivy Antlers didn't have many players on hand, but they had enough to crush Corpus Christi King 11-3 in their final game of the Fredericksburg Tournament on Saturday. There were only 10 players suited up due to various school functions. One of them, Anthony Hudson, was sick.

Usually a catcher, Hudson filled in at right field and did an excellent defensive job. "I've got to tip my hat to these guys," Coach Roland Herrera said. Herrera hadn't been happy with Tivy's hitting in the first two games of the tournament. But against King, the Antlers picked up more and more momentum as the game went on, scoring two runs in both the fifth and sixth innings and exploding for five runs in the seventh to ice the victory. "We started hitting the ball again," Herrera said.

"Especially with men on base. We were more aggressive. We didn't swing the lazy bat." Besides getting 11 hits, the Antlers struck out just six times against King. In the losses to Boerne and Fredericksburg, they fanned a total of 32 times. Getting two hits each were Trey Forbes, Dave Drapela, Joel Druebert, Tyler Bobbin, and Chris Hill.

Drapela scored three times and drove in two runs. Druebert had a triple, while Forbes and Bobbitt slammed doubles. Tivy also got a solid pitching job from Druebert, who had already pitched a complete game on Friday against Boerne. The senior righthander went the entire seven innings, allowed two earned runs, struck out five and walked five. He had a busy tournament, throwing 126 pitches against Boerne and 114 against King.

Against King, he started out throwing fastballs and finished throwing offspeed pitches and curves. Hen-era said, "I have to give Joel a lot of credit." Bobbitt suffered an elbow injury and will be lost for two weeks, according to Herrera. The Antlers, now 2-2, host Marble Falls at Antler Field at 6 p.m. On Thursday is the Tivy Baseball Tournament. The 10 teams entered are the Tivy varsity, Tivyjayvee, Fredericksburg, Boerne, Pleasanton, St.
