Friday, March 16, 1990 Hilbert's Geiser goes out Hilbert's Sue Geiser completed her outstanding high school career by being named the Olympian Conference girls' Player of the Year for the second consecutive season. Geiser is joined on the first AllOlympian unit by Jenny Brittnacher of Wrightstown, Lisa Nejedlo of Mishicot, Kristin Gintner of Valders, all seniors, and freshmen Renae Scheibe of Freedom. Geiser, who also made the All-Olympian first team as a sophomore, Geiser averaged over 20 points per game, and finished as the second all-time scorer in Hilbert girls' basketball history behind Lori Salm-Popp, who led the Wolves' to the state tournament in 1981. Geiser has accepted a scholarship to play at UW-Green Bay next season.

Riggles Hortonville's Mike Riggles, the Polar Bears' all-time leading scorer, was selected as this year's Player of the Year in the East Central Conference. Riggles heads an All-ECC first team that also includes Waupaca's Chris Schwirtz, Berlin's Jeff Bartol and Matt Hess and Ripon's Dusty Werch, the only junior selected on the first unit. Riggles, who averaged over 20 points per game for his three-year Riggles career at Hortonville, led the ECC in both scoring rebounding this season. 'Mike is just a phenomenal scorer," Mattson. said Hortonville Coach K- eary "He shot over from the floor for his career, and from the free-throw line.

What's overlooked, however, is his great defense. He's a great rein style "She is the most complete basketball player that I have ever said Hilbert Coach Forrest Wells. "She is an exceptional scorer, and also led the team in steals and assists. She has the whole package, a fine all-around player." Brittnacher was forced to assume additional responsibilities for the Tigers after Sharon season Zeeland went down with an injury in the first game of the year. "She had played inside during her first two years, and received the benefit of a lot of said Wrightstown Coach Curt Albers.

"But she was our only experienced player this year. She play some outside, as well as inside. She is a very hard worker, who is constanstly trying to improve." Scheibe is one of the few players to make the varsity as a freshmen, much less the all-conference first team. The 5-2 Scheibe was noted by other coaches as having a "a very cool head, and very mature for a ranks as bounder, and also set a school record for The 6-4 Schwirtz was a difficult matchup for opposing teams this season. He could not only score inside, but was also the conference's leading three-point shooter.

"He was our clutch player, the one we went to when we needed a basket," said Waupaca Coach Ron Weber. "Chris is very talented physically, a great leaper. He also rebounded Bartols and Hess were mainstays on conference champion Berlin, and helped lead the Indians to a berth in the WIAA Class state tournament. Hess, who is being looked at by several Division I colleges as a football wide receiver, played forward, while the 6-4 Bartol was used as an off-guard. Despite standing only 5-10, Werch played center for Ripon and was the ECC's No.

On the top of that list was 6-7 sophomore Larry Hill, who scored 12 points, pulled down 10 rebounds, blocked four shots and altered a half dozen others. And then there was Tony Bennett, the do-everything sophomore who scored 26 points, ran the offense masterfully and keyed that swarming defense.

(AP) Even after five days of making over the NFL in his image, Paul Tagliabue is still pondering changes. Tagliabue's first meetings as commissioner adjourned Thursday with his stamp firmly in place in television, labor, in steroids, in officiating, in realignment.

Now he will focus on items as varied as street drugs and corporate ownership. "With a little bit of luck, things kind of fell into place," Tagliabue said of a week that went just about as well as he could have planned. Not only did the NFL get more from television $3.64 billion over four years than anyone imagined, but Tagliabue was able to push through instant replay for another year in the face of heavy odds; implement random year-round steroid testing; bfidge the gap between coaches and officials and put into place a new committee that he hopes will end the labor impasse. He also took the first step in two decades to realign divisions into more realistic groupings when he appointed a committee on expansion and realignment. The next step will come May 23-24 in Dallas, when the owners meet again to tie up loose ends and perhaps open new ground in what has become the new slogan "carry the NFL into the 21st century." One item yet to be resolved is a new drug adviser to replace Dr.

"On offense, we started standing around on the perimeter," said Tony Bennett. Then came the key to the game. The Phoenix erupted in the second half, outscoring SIU 22-6 in the first 10:40 to take a 52-42 lead.

On the next possession, Bennett got open again and stuck a 15-footer to make 4-0. He wouldn't score again for 12 minutes, but it didn't matter. The little guy had laid the foundation.

Green Bay knew early it could play with highly touted Southern Illinois. "This was a special game for us," Tony said. "We proved we could play with the better teams. As I said, the invitation to the NIT was nice but we had to do something with it. Now we have." Thanks to the little guy.

making changes fire before the meetings began. Tagliabue said he had interviewed several candidates and would interview others before making a decision. He also said that he was working with a Minnesota drug counselor named Peter Bell, although Bell is not a candidate for the job because Bell isn't a physician. Corporate ownership, which lacks the pizzazz of drugs, is almost as controversial among the league's owners. For years, league bylaws have prohibited it for fear of selling NFL stocks over the counter and because a wealthy corporation would have far more money to spend on players than a family-owned team.

But Tagliabue said he might favor it under the right circumstances. He noted that NHL and NBA teams have been owned by corporations and cited what he called responsible corportions "like Disney and Coca-Cola" that might be brought in. Asked, however, if he ever envisioned corporate sponsorship to the extent that a team might be called the "3-M Vikings" or the "Coca-Cola Falcons," replied: "That's when I will no longer be commissioner." And he said there would be obvious conflicts if some corporations got involved. "I wouldn't want to see something like CBS had when it owned the Yankees," he said. "That was a clear conflict." Mrs.
