The Associated Press SAN FRANCISCO Joe Montana must be patient as be recovers from elbow surgery. Terry Bradshaw wasn't, and his hurry-up recovery ended his career. Bradshaw's Hall of Fame playing career ended in 1983 after elbow problems plagued his final season.

"In this day and age, and I hate to say this, but with the kind of money you can make playing this game, it's important that he listen to his body," Bradshaw said in a telephone interview Tuesday. "As good as he is, I would think that he would be 100 percent after next year." Bradshaw, the former Shreveport Woodlawn High and Louisiana Tech star, underwent elbow surgery after the 1982 season, a procedure that repaired a torn muscle in his right elbow. "It was four months before I picked a football up again," Bradshaw said. "And even as strong as I'd gotten I'd put an inch and a half of muscle on my forearms when I threw a football again it was like It was not to be done. I got so strong that it masked everything else." Bradshaw gritted his teeth and tried to play the 1983 season, but realizes now that he should have rested.

"The doctor said in hindsight that I should have taken a whole year off," Bradshaw said. "You AREA-NATIONAL BRIEFS Boothill leaders Point leaders at Boothil!

Henigan Wes Grigsby Robert LeRoux Lee Davis By KEN KURIGER Times Correspondent It's not often a 1-4 team that lost by 27 points the previous week goes into a game with momentum, particularly when it has to visit a ranked, undefeated team in a stadium packed for homecoming. But despite losing four of their first five games, the Bossier Bearkats had outgained every opponent in total yardage. Thus, the Bearkats knew a little perseverance could go a long way In righting their slow start.

And that was the impetus coach Billy Don McHalf fey used to propel the Kats into Friday's District 1-4A opener against Northwood. Behind a revived and revised defense, Bossier shocked ninth-ranked Northwood 21-7, knocking the Falcons from the ranks of the undefeated and holding Jimmy Taylor, the city's leading rusher, to 1 2 yards. It marked the first game this season in which Taylor failed to run for 100 yards. "We haven't been out of a game this year, but we've made the mistakes that have cost us a shot at winning some games," said McHalffey. "The coaches have told the kids all week not to give up on this thing and that determination showed.

We made the plays to win and our defensive preparation was outstanding." Not only did Bossier (2-4, 1-0) corral Taylor, they completely took the talented tailback out of the game. Taylor carried a season-low seven times and Northwood coach Jerry Burton credited the Bearkat strategy. "They cut out what we like to do," said Burton. "We got our chances offensively, but we fumbled deep in their territory and had some breakdowns." The first Falcon breakdown came on defense, after the two teams opened the game dubiously by trading interceptions. On the second play of Bossier's second possession, quarterback Tommy Hood caught Northwood's secondary hedging toward the line of scrimmage and threw 64 yards to speedster Wendell Barnett for the first Bearkat touch-.

The drive ate all of 45 seconds off the clock, a relatively lengthy march compared to the ensuing one-play, one-yard, ten second scoring "drive" after Northwood punter Marty Kent was stormed at the Falcon goalline. for daylight as Airline's Steve take 1 ball away. Still another fizzled out at the Vikings' 15 yard-line as Frazier rolled out on fourth down and threw an incomplete pass when he had a clear path to another touchdown. "We are this close to exploding on offense," Dunn said as he held his thumb and index finger a half-inch apart.

The Knights got all the offense they needed to win Friday's game on their third play from scrimmage, when Frazier faked a handoff to Keith Simpson and bolted 52 yards up the middle of the field. On their next possession, the District 1-5A leaders drove 94 yards in 16 plays as Simpson started the drive with a 24-yard burst and finished it with a one-yard touchdown plunge. James Gillyard kicked the extra point after the first touchdown, but his second conversion attempt was blocked by Bullard.

It was the pressure to get back in the pocket that Bradshaw now wishes he ignored. "I panicked myself out of my career," Bradshaw said. "The best thing that could have happened to me was for the doctor to say, 'I don't care.

Take a whole year Bradshaw, now a football analyst for CBS, said Montana's picture-perfect throwing motion will make it easier for the three-, time Super Bowl MVP to' recover. "He uses a lot of shoulder and a good leg drive. I was a power passer. I just cranked it up and let it rip," Bradshaw said. "He's so balanced.

That has to be a plus. That will help him a lot. I think his delivery is going to be very significant in his recovery. "I think he can play again and be as good as he ever was. I'd just say, 'Joe, give it time.

Don't panic, don't feel the My heart goes out to him. It's eating him up. It ate me up. "He's had a lot of comebacks. But this will be his greatest one because this is his arm." going into Saturday's races.

Nationally GREAT SCOT Sandy Lyle of Scotland shot his second straight 65 on Friday and opened a four-stroke lead in the $1.2 million International Open at Munich, Germany but enton rolls any shows Woodlawn's Marcus Hall looks Knights By JERRY 8YRD The Times Most high school football players would feel pretty good about themselves after piling up 174 yards rushing and scoring two touchdowns in a game that gave their team sole possession of first place in district standings. Tyrone Frazier isn't one of them. Woodlawn High head coach Dennis Dunn was attempting to console Frazier by the team bus a few minutes after the Knights' 19-0 homecoming victory over Airline's Vikings at Caddo Parish Stadium Friday night. Despite his impressive statistics, Frazier wasn't happy with his performance because the Knights failed to capitalize on several other scoring opportunities in chalking up their second straight shutout victory.

Two Woodlawn drives ended with Airline's Hunter Bullard intercepting Frazier passes. Another ended with Frazier fumbling the Since early last week, Many has been the center of controversy. Coach Carl Blanchard was dismissed. Ernest "Slim" Howell replaced Blanchard. Blanchard's firing angered some players and parents.

There was also talk of walkouts and boycotts. The Tigers practiced only once all week. Then there was the question of whether the team would play Friday night. A vote was taken the Tigers chose to play. "We were fighting against all odds," Many's Patrick Johnson said.

"There were people putting us down for wearing this jersey." When the game was over, there were people cheering the Tigers for wearing those same jerseys. But this was not the Many team that had played the previous five weeks. This was a shell of the Many team. There are 45 players on the Many roster. There were only 19 dressed out against Benton.

Haughton, however, took the lead for good on Maggio's 1-yard touchdown run with 1:48 left in the half. The run capped a 48-yard drive. Parkway 28 Green Oaks 14 The Parkway Panthers scored 21 points in the first half and handed head coach Steve Adams his first district win ever with a 28-14 win over Green Oaks.

"I wasn't really even thinking about it," Adams said. "I want to get another one next week to go with it." Although senior running back Kareem Strother sat out the second half and was held to only 39 yards on eight carries, his electrifying 90-yard punt return with 13 seconds remaining in the first quarter put his team ahead for to stay.

Airline head coach Bob Howell pointed to injuries that sidelined quarterback Eric David and wingback Jon David Smith as key factors in the game.

"It was a freak injury for David," he said. "His left knee just locked on him when he made a cut. J.D. took a good lick. Woodlawn has a good football team, but they beat up a banged-up team tonight.

We just have to come back and get our best football players on the field." "Our defense played another excellent football game," Dunn said. "They're growing up." The Knights' defensive charge was led by linebackers Gillyard, a returning All-Stater, and Terrance Lucky, backs Derrick Clarkson and Ford, and linemen Boris Walker and Joe Milton. They held Airline to six first downs, two of them on penalties, and 78 yards total offense. Offensively, the Knights went over 300 yards total offense for the sixth consecutive week. said.

"This is the first time all year that we assigned guys to block." It worked. Walker also returned a punt for a 41-yard touchdown. In fact, almost all of Benton's scores came on big plays. Sakari Lawrence, who rushed for 161 yards, scored on an 81-yard run. Bo Wheatley scored on a 66-yard run.

"When I found out they didn't have all of their guys, I figured we would have an advantage in speed," Thrash said. But Many did not die easily. The Many Tigers trailed only 28-12 at the half. Savell scored on a 49-yard touchdown pass that he caught over his shoulder with one-hand. Colston was a durable runner with 104 yards on 25 carries.

"I'm just so proud of them," Howell said. "We had players that had never played before playing. We had players in positions they had never played before." have only given up two touchdowns in six games this year." said a Gatorade-drenched Denny Duron, head coach of Evangel. That defense was led by senior Jeff Hall who had 21 tackles in the game and has avereaged over 20 tackles per contest on the year. Defensive back Arthur Brooks was also instrumental in the win with three interceptions that he returned for 1 22 yards setting up three of Evagels nine touchdowns.

"This was just a great team effort, not a one-man win. We're really looking forward to district play now," Brooks said. Even the Eagle special teams looked outstanding with sophomore Bubba Mills leading the charge. "It's great going down on the kick-offs and punts, just looking for someone to hit." Said Mills. More often than not Mills found his target.

Quarterback Josh Booty had a good game with 180 yards passing and three touchdowns. Booty has over 900 yards for the year, and is one of 1 8 starting sophomores on the Eagle team.

Sports cars to roll at Captain Shreve A Solo II sports car racing event is scheduled for Sunday at Captain Shreve High School By SCOTT FERRELL The Times BENTON The sign in the Many end zone told the story. You didn't think we were com-in'. After a week when the head coach was dismissed, players boycotted practice and the school board met with some parents, there was doubt whether the Many Tigers would make it here for Friday night's game with Benton. "It was total confusion," Many running back Eric Savell said.

But Many made it to the game minus some players. It didn't really matter to Benton, though. The Benton Tigers used the big play to take a 34-14 homecoming victory over Many. That Many even made it to Friday's game was something of a triumph. "It took a lot of guts to come up here and play," Many running back Alan Colston said.

CITY GAMES Maggio leads Haughton VIVIAN Shawn Maggio rushed for 192 yards and three touchdowns to lead the Haughton Buccaneers to a 33-12 victory against the North Caddo Rebels in a District 1-4A opener Friday night. Maggio scored on a 77-yard run on Haughton's first possessionof the second half to break open a tight game. The fifth-ranked Bucs (5-1), who won for the fifth consecutive week, took a 12-0 lead in the first quarter on a 1-yard run by Maggio and an 8-yard run by Charles Miles. Maggio had 30-yard runs on both scoring drives. North Caddo (1-5) then came storming back.

Antonio June caught The Sabine Parish school board has said the controversy was not a racial issue. But all 1 9 Many players Friday night were white. "The kids that aren't here, it's not their choice not to play," Savell said. "There are some that wanted to play so bad they were crying." Howell said that he would gladly welcome those players back this week. He said he plans to meet with the parents of the players that skipped the Benton game Friday night.

"We love them and we need them," Howell said. "I think if Coach Blanchard had told them to go back on the field Tuesday, they would have gone and this would have been avoided." Instead, Many was shorthanded. Just how shorthanded was seen on the opening kickoff when Benton's Courtney Walker went 90 yards for a touchdown. "I told him he was going to do that," Benton coach David Thrash EVANGEL ROUT Eagles turn the tables on St. Mary's By CHUCK HERRON Times Correspondent When Evangel started their football program three years ago, one of the first teams the Eagles played was St.

Mary's. The Tigers showed no mercy in that game beating the Eagles 63-8 in Natchitoches. The two teams met again last night this time in Evangel's backyard and the Eagles proved just how far they have come as they crushed the Tigers 63-7. Evangel piled up 343 yards of offense and held the Tigers to minus-38 yards rushing. "This was a great win for us.
