ILL WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 25, 1399 MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL Charlotte Sting, guard Stinson win on the road mm en T'. News Notes: HOMETOWN SAYS GOODBYE TO PER-ROT: More than a thousand people toed Sxougn a church here Tuesday to pay last respects to Kim Perot, dnwiutive Houston Comets point guard who eked of cancer last week at age 32. A Lafayette native. Perrot lay state in an open casket draped with red and white roses as fnends, fans, her former teachers and teammates passed by prior to an afternoon funeral Mass. Tributes echoed those at a memorial a day earlier in Houston.

Arjmtrers spoke of the 5-foot-5 Perrot's generous heart and competitive spirit that won her a spot on Comets coach van Chancellor's roster despite his initial misgivings about her size and playing style. Perrot went on to help the Comets win two WNBA cnampionships. "She was a competitor. She was tough, tt affected tie people around her. She had an effect on this community like no other person," said Olympic track and field star Mollis Conway, a classmate of Perot's for tour years at the University of Southwestern Louisiana.

"I want everybody to remember her for who she was. a wonderful person who wanted to give back to the community," said Perrof sister, Loretta Perrot. Before and after her diagnosis last February, Perrot made more than 200 public appearances, often at schools, where she stressed the importance of working hard to achieve lifelong goals. Chancellor and Comets players attended the funeral at the Immaculate Heart of Mary Catholic Church. An estimated 1 ,500 people filed in and out of the church and past the rose-draped casket prior to the Mass.

Near the casket was a spray of flowers, red roses forming Perrot's No. 10 against a backdrop of white roses. Friends and family wore red roses and white patches with the number 1 0 printed on them. Rhonda Mapp scored 16 points for Charlotte and Staley added 12 points and five assists. Palmer led Detroit with 10 points and nine rebounds, the only Shock player to reach double figures.

"We had shots really good shots," Detroit coach Nancy Lieberman-Cline said. "We just didn't knock them down. Charlotte played the percentages, and made us beat them from the outside. We just didn't do it." Even after the Sting's 16-3 run, Detroit got back within two, but Mapp's short jumper made it a two-possession game and, after Palmer missed a 3-pointer, Charlotte iced the game from the free-throw line. "When we got behind, we knew what we had to do," Mapp said.

"We had to dig deep and pull this one out. We've been in the playoffs before, and we know where we want to go." Ry Ths Assnrtaterl Press Midway through the second half of Tuesday's playoff game with the Detroit Shock, Char-, lotte Sting guard Andrea Stinson could sense her teammates starting to wilt. That's when she took over, leading her team to a 60-54 victory in Auburn Hills, Mich. "We came in here on a long losing streak, and we were trying to give up," said Stinson, who led Charlotte with 16 points and a career-high 14 rebounds. "We were starting to hang our heads a little, but I knew we were still in it.

I really wanted this one, and. once I got going, the rest of the team jumped on the bandwagon." The Shock led 42-36 with 9:30 left when Stinson blocked Wendy Palmer's layup. That seemed to wake up the team, and the Sting went on a 16-3 run over the next seven minutes. "I challenged them to step up and win this game," Sting coach Dan Hughes said. "Neither team was getting anything offensively, so I told them to go out and make things happen on the other end of the floor." Detroit missed six of seven shots during the Charlotte run, nearly all from outside.

"They played tough post defense to stop Wendy (Palmer), but that left the perimeter open," said Detroit point guard Jen Azzi, who was 2 of 13 from the floor. "I just couldn't knock down any of the shots." The Sting lost the last five games of the regular season, but were able to earn a shot against New York in the second round, starting Friday in Charlotte. "We made some big strides tonight," Dawn Staley said. "We could have easily folded, especially once the crowd got into it, but we stuck together. That was huge." 1 PHOTOPAUL WARNER) a.
