SECTION THE STATE JOURNAL Saturday, January 25, 1975 Johnson Powers 80-61 Romp Records Disclose Another Prep Had 51 -Points Parkside i lliplliliii 3 s- Ha tr s- It turns out that ownership of the Lansing prep single game individual basketball scoring record is at 'least a three-way proposition. Ralph Coleman became the initial partner when he erupted for 51 points in J955 while wearing the colors of Lansing St. Mary. Greg Lloyd of Eastern joined the club last Tuesday night, scoring 51 points at Catholic Central. AT THE time, we were a little confused, thinking Coleman had scored 54, making Lloyd's effort just the second best ever.

We were wrong, as Coleman himself verified. We were also wrong, as we discovered Friday, in our thinking that Coleman and Lloyd were the only members of the 51-point club. Steve Burgess, presently enrolled in Lansing Police Department's cadet program, also belongs. IN EARLY February, 1972, Burgess scored 51 points while representing the then newly-formed Capitol City Christian High School in a game against Kent Occupational High School in Grand Rapids. At the time.

Burgess' prolific production represented more than one point for every student in the school. There were just 40 young men and women enrolled. Capitol City Christian won the game, 97-43. Burgess had 18 field goals and 15 free throws in the game. 1 lis Nfl rfi I i 1 JOHNSON, WHO is like a magician everytime he gets his hands on the ball, also drew the praises of losing coach, Ben Sierra.

"He's some kind of sophomore, I'll tell you that," Sierra said. "His offense and rebounding are his strong suits right now, but his total play is also advanced. "Everett has a super "team and it could go a long way in the state tournament. Shumway is an excellent player who is overshadowed by Johnson and the rest of those kids are very good. "WE GOT off to a slow start and didn't get untracked until it was too late.

We couldn't rebound with them and that was one of the big differences." In the. first period, held a 14-1 advantage in rebounding and finished the game with a 37-28 edge. Parkside, behind the wizard shooting of 5-10 senior guard Dave Sierra, rallied to within 11 points in the third period, 55-44, but faded quickly as Johnson took charge. SIERRA HIT seven'of 10 long-range jump shots in that period and finished the game with 22 points for the Eagles. Guard Rocky Hester added 18.

Everett made 32 of 55 shots from the floor for 58.1 per cent. Johnson hit 13 of 17 from the field and Shumway was true on eight of his 14 attempts. Parkside connected on 26 of 66 for 39.3 per cent. Sierra made 10 of 27, including one of seven in the first period and zero for four in the fourth. Hester made nine of 21.

By FRED STABLEY JR. Staff Writer JACKSON Earvin "Magic" Johnson sauntered over to the bench, a smile covering his youthful face, and slapped the hands of each one of his teammates. Then, the 6-5 sophomore looked up at the appreciative Everett Viking fans, clenched his fist over his head in a sign of victory and sat down. THE THUNDERING Viking rooters started shouting, "We're No. 1, We're No.

1." And, after Friday night's South Central Conference basketball clash before more than 3,000 fans here, no one could deny their claim. It was supposed to be "The" game in the SCC race this season, a classic battle between two top teams. EVERETT HAD defeated Parkside in the Viking gymnasium earlier in the season by an 86-70 margin, but the host Eagles had rolled to nine straight games and had designs on making it 10. After the first period of action, however, Parkside's game plan had changed to making the final score respectable. Roaring to a 24-7 lead in the first eight minutes and an overwhelming 43-20 margin by the half, Everett High rolled to an easy 80-61 victory.

THE WIN left coach George Fox talented Vikings all alone first place with a 7-0 record, while Parkside falls to 5-2. Everett is now 10-1 overall and Parkside is 10-2. "We have a heckuva bunch of kids who work hard and have a lot of pride in what they do," Fox said. "We played exceptionally well, there's little our kids didn't do right. "The best thing about this win is that we went to our No.

1 rival's gym and totally dominated the game." WITH JOHNSON scoring a career-high 36 points and snaring 18 rebounds, Everett never gave Jackson Parkside a Si A 1 1 s- "WSHfts 8 Everett's 'Big E' Hits 36 Points MIKE GOOD of Harry Hill continued his hot scoring pace Friday night, netting 34 to boost his total to 141 in the last four games. Meanwhile, city leader and co-holder of the individual single game record, Greg Lloyd of Eastern, was being limited to 1 1 by Ypsilanti. Hill and Eastern both lost, while Sexton and East Lansing were joining Everett in the win column. For details, see Page C-2. day as he scored 18 points and had 10 rebounds in support of "Magic." "I love playing with Earvin because he's not selfish and can do so many things to help you win," Shumway said.

"He throws great passes at the right time, but if we need a crucial basket we go to him because he'll get it for us. "I've never seen a player of his size able to do so many things. He could play guard, I'm sure, and still be chance of getting into the flow of the game. "Earvin is just great, everyone knows that, but the rest of our kids are doing a super job, too," Fox said. "You know, few people really appreciate the job that Randy Shumway does for us each game.

"He's a rugged rebounder and a tenacious defensive player." PARKSIDE COULDN'T have overlooked the 6-3 senior forward here Fri Everett 24 1 14 2110 Parkside 7 13 24 17-41 EVERETT Shumway 8-2-18.

The puck bounced out to Kelly, who lifted his shot over Heinz, sprawled out on the ice.

"I saw the goalie down, and there was just a little opening at the top where I saw the mesh, that's what I aimed at," Kelly said. Kelly's second goal, early in the second period, was the result of a persistent effort by the sophomore. HE FOUGHT Heinz for the puck, forced it loose from the Duluth goalie's glove and put it in the net. "Kelly did well," Spartan coach Amo Bessone said, "I guess that makes me a good coach for putting him in Colp's spot, considering the way he came through." The two teams will conclude their two-game series at 7:30 today. THE VICTORY, coupled with Michigan's 5-2 win over Minnesota, moved the Spartans three points ahead of the second palce Gophers in the WCHA standings.

State stands 16-4-1 for 33 points. The Gophers are 15-6-0 for 30 points. In notching their 16th victory, equalling the Spartan record for most victories in a season in the WCHA, the Spartans had other second period goals scored by Tom Ross and Harris. The Bulldogs did all their scoring in the first two periods. Tom Milani put a neat fake on Spartan goalie Ron Clark to score at 18:40 of the first period.

Continued oh C-3 By ED SENYCZKO Executive Sports Editor Michigan State University's hockey team widened its Western Collegiate Hockey Association lead Friday by defeating Minnesota-Duluth 6-3 before 6,019 Munn Ice Arena fans. Dave Kelly, sophomore center from Toronto, Ont. who was handed the pressure-packed task of filling in at center for the Spartans All-American and leading scorer Steve Colp, sidelined with a broken leg, sparked the Spartan victory with two goals. COLP, WHO watched the game on crutches at the Spartan bench, said, "Kelly can do the job. I think he is one of the better centers in our league, but just hasn't had a chance to play much with Tom Ross and I ahead of him.

I played against Dave in Toronto. "I'm sure he'll do the job. I'm just sorry I won't be with the team until the playoffs. You can bet I'll be ready I'm going to get a walking cast shortly and I'm going to start riding a bicycle and doing exercises, I'm going to be ready." Kelly, in talking about, his two-goal performance, said, "I wasn't nervous until I read what the papers were saying about me replacing Steve. But, once I got playing it was okay.

I was playing with two pretty good men on my line (Daryl Rice and Rob Harris) and they set me up" KELLY'S FIRST goal came in the first period Minnesota-Duluth ri a 4-- -Y 4 IT'ss "3 jtfiffftw8aSsstfW6sssg yrtWfrAlMMt Staff photos by BRIAN BURD MSU Goalie Ron Clark makes brilliant save Duluth goalie Rick Heinz holds off MSU's Dave Kelly (10) Sports on TV Host Wisconsin at 4 p.m. Big Ten Basketball oda Spartans ome in Conference Overall Pet.

Purdue at Indiana Minnesota at Iowa Word out of the Badget camp is that Koehler won't start but figures to see some spot action. "There's a lot of pressure on us to win this game and I think our kids want it real bad to make up for our losses last weekend," Ganakas said. "We were in both of those games and had a good chance to win them, but the breaks went the other way. "NOW WE have no leeway. We have to win.

And, that's never easy against Big Ten opposition." Michigan State meets Northwestern Monday night in Jenison Fieldhouse in the second, half of the weekend's Big Ten doubleheader. Game time is 7:35 p.m. There are plenty of reserved and general admission tickets left for both the Wisconsin and Northwestern games. WISCONSIN HAS had trouble scoring in the Big 10 -while the Spartans have had their problems playing By FRED STABLEY JR. Staff Writer Aging Jenison Fieldhouse may not seem like much to many people but it certainly will be a welcome sight to the Michigan State basketball team today.

After losing a pair of tough games on the road at Minnesota and Iowa last weekend, the Spartans will host Wisconsin at p.m. COACH GUS Ganakas Spartans hope to end a two-game losing skid in the Big 10 that has left their conference record at 2-4. Overall, MSU is 8-5. Wisconsin, winless in the Big Ten in six tries, is 3-10 on the season. However, coach John Powless' Badgers have been without the services of 6-8 junior ace Dale Koehler the entire conference schedule and may have limited play from him today.

KOEHLER, A bullish 220-pounder, is the top returning scorer (12.8) from the 1973-74 Wisconsin team that posted a 16-8 record. He's been sidelined with a badly sprained ankle. In fact, the Badgers are 10th in scoring and the Spartans 10th in points allowed, and something has to give. Wisconsin is averaging just 55.5 points per game in six league games and Michigan State has given up 87.8 points per outing. THE SPARTANS are superior on offense with a 77.5 average, while the Badger defense has allowed 78 points a game.

Wisconsin will be one of the few Big 10 teams the Spartans will face that is not much bigger. Senior Marcus McCoy (6-5) and senior Bob Luchsinger (6-3) are the Badgers starting forwards, with 6-8 junior Bob Johnson at center and 6-1 freshman Brian Colbert and 6-3 Bruce Mc-Cauley at the guards: IN EFFECT, Wisconsin is starting a four-guard attack as both McCoy and Luchsinger were listed as guard candidates before the. season. Michigan State won't make any lineup changes for Wisconsin, although Ganakas said that he would make substitutions with rebounding in mind more than any other facet of the game. "We've been consistently outre-bounded and we have to find an answer before the season gets too much farther along," Ganakas said.

ONE POSSIBILITY might be 6-6 Lovelle Rivers, who is an excellent re-bounder but has limitations in other areas. Junior Terry Fur low (6-6) and freshman Jeff Tropf (6-7) will start at the forwards, with 6-7 senior Lindsay Hair-ston at center and 6-2 senior Bill Glover and 6-1 senior Pete Davis at the guards. Hairston is the Big 10's second-leading scorer with a 22.4 average with Fuxlow is fourth at 19.8. WISCONSIN'S McCAULEY is the lone Badger in the top 25 with an 18.2 mark, good for sixth. The Badgers won the only meeting between the two teams last year in Madison, Wise, 87-80, and holds a 29-24 edge in the all-time series.
