6c TIMES WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 9, 2002 SOCCER PINELLAS SPORTS 'ipmiJ" i ft -v. Spongers' forfeits help Cougars to win OUT, THEN IN: Ray Hudson, coach of the Fusion until it folded Tuesday, talks on the phone while awaiting a flight to Washington, where he will be introduced as D.C. United's jr, 4 WRESTLING By BOB PUTNAM Timea Staff Writer III iii iiiiissaassaaaeaesei ill ap coach today. CLEARWATER Tarpon Springs had a depleted lineup. Two starters were academically ineligible and three others failed to make weight Tuesday.

That wasn't good news for the Spongers, who traveled to Countryside for a dual meet. Behind by 24 points due to four forfeits, the Spongers fell behind more in the actual bouts for a 50-30 loss. "We were missing a few guys and that hurt," Tarpon Springs coach Jim Wioland said. "I was pleased with the way we wrestled considering what we had." The Spongers went ahead 12-0 thanks to pins by Daryl Pasco (103 pounds) and Clement Be-noot (112). Players, staff trying to plot the next move The Cougars responded by winning the next seven bouts.

AJ Hixon (119)andJonRowe (135) each scored a major decision and Steve Spicuzza (140) and Matt Turtzo (145) each recorded pins. "We were a little sloppy tonight," Countryside coach Dave Frayer said, "but it's good to get the rust off after the vacation." The Cougars were without Vince Scholl (twisted ankle) and Frayer said he decided not to use Dominic DeNunzio because of the forfeits. Still, Countryside didn't need too much star power and had the victory sealed after Turtzo's pin. Both teams split the final six bouts. Some players will go to other teams in a dispersal draft on Friday.

By RODNEY PAGE Times Staff Writer BOYS SOCCER EXTRA Games to Watch Palm Harbor U. at Countryside WHEN: Wednesday, 8 p.m. OUTLOOK: Nobody has been able to slow down the Hurricanes this season.

PHU has outscored opponents 47-9. Osceola at Tarpon Springs WHEN: Friday, 8 p.m. OUTLOOK: This is a Class 2A, District 9 showdown. In the first meeting Nov. 30, Osceola won 4-3.

Tarpon Springs (6-6-1) played well in its own tournament during the holiday break, losing to Countryside 2-1 in the final. Osceola (7-5-3) has been plagued by injuries but is still competitive.

Seminole coach Rick Masi hopes to have Giles back before next week's PCAC tournament or before the district tournament. Northeast's gain The Vikings welcomed back striker Asmir Pervan on Monday, who scored two goals in a 2-2 tie against Seminole.

Pervan was training in Germany with a professional team during the holidays.

"In talking with Don Garber (Tuesday) morning, that was the biggest reason this team isn't here anymore, because there was no local ownership. I think the biggest impact this has is on the 30,000 or so youth organizations in this area." Hillsborough County Commissioner Jim Norman, who sits on the board of the Tampa Sports ty, also feels professional soccer isn't done in Tampa. "They have, I think, cut our community a tremendous break," said Norman. He said the league has invested $30-million in Tampa Bay since 1996, which includes the team, camps and youth league programs. "(MLS) wants soccer in Tampa," Norman said.

"If they didn't, they would totally pull out. So I think that was very encouraging." Tampa mayor Dick Greco said he understands MLS' decision. "I assumed soccer would be a big hit in this country and this area," Greco said. "But unless you are producing a championship team or something very special, it's difficult to sell season tickets. There's too many things a person can do in Florida.

"If you've got a stadium that seats 63,000, and you've got 13,000 people, it's hard to get excited. It looks like a little wad of people sitting in these sections." Mutiny chief operating officer Ed Austin has championed soccer here for more than 20 years. He has been with the Mutiny all six years. "It's a sad day," Austin said. "1 really believe this community needs pro soccer.

There's a tradition here. I think the community deserves (a return of pro soccer)." Contraction certainly ended the Mutiny, and it likely ended defender Steve Trittschuh's career. "It's kind of unexpected," said Trittschuh, 36, also a former Rowdies player in the American Professional Soccer League. "The league did a good job of keeping this under cover. Nobody knew anything.

As for me, I don't think anybody's going to take me (in the dispersal draft). If they do, then my wife and I are going to have to talk about it." Times staff writers Bill Varian and Chris Goffard contributed to this report. ple Heights 18. Fouled out OC: Brennan; TH: Jackson, McCune. Oldsmar Chr.

It wasn't until Quill listened to a cell-phone message that he found out the Mutiny was no more. "It's kind of strange," Quill said. "I wish they would have made this decision a long time ago." Many involved with the Mutiny and soccer in the area are left to wonder what comes next. For the players, there is a dispersal draft Friday morning. Those taken in the draft will have two days to get to their new teams before training camps open on Monday.

The 27 front-office employees are out of a job. Some could land with MLS' other 10 teams or with the league office in New York City. Coach Perry Van Beck has a one-year contract with the league, as does general manager Bill Manning. Both figure to be reassigned this season. "It's going to get a little more depressing as the days go on," Manning said.

"We had a good group of people here. I knew about this Monday and I couldn't sleep. When you give so much to something it's difficult to have it taken away." Farrukh Quraishi, the Mutiny's first GM in 1996 and a former member of the Rowdies in the North American Soccer League, said contraction is a blow. "It's sad for Tampa," Quraishi said. "It's a killer for soccer in the community.

But from a business standpoint it makes sense, and if it makes the league stronger in the long run then that's what they have to do." MLS commissioner Don Garber left the door open for an MLS return to Tampa in the future if the league expands. That gives hope to some involved in the local sports scene. "What we want to do is get some sort of a grassroots campaign going and try to get an ownership group and possibly bring back professional soccer in the next year or two," 0 0-0 0 1-1 art Old: 3 IB.

Compiled by Rodney Page The Mutiny has to continue paying rent on its office space at RJS unless the team finds a tenant. Mutiny general manager Bill Manning said he will stay in the office a few more weeks to refund season-ticket deposits and pay back corporate sponsors and vendors. Manning, who joined the Mutiny in January, 2000, made finding an ownerinvestor his top priority. "It's very awkward to be here talking about closing down," Manning said. "I'm not shocked because the one thing I remember during my first interview with Mark (Abbott) and Don (Garber) was that this club needed to have an investoroperator.

As this offseason went on, and our inability to finalize a deal with an investor along with the league's new business plan it wasn't really a shock to me." Coach Perry Van Der Beck wasn't shocked either. Van Der Beck, who has a one-year contract with MLS, thinks contraction will be good for the league's future. "I wish it wasn't happening here," said Van Der Beck, who played for the Tampa Bay Rowdies in the North American Soccer League. "But I truly believe that in the long run this is going to strengthen the league. I have no doubt about that." This is the first time MLS has contracted.

Abbott said the league did everything it could to keep the Mutiny around for 2002. "We tried hard. It was a major effort on our part," he said. Total foub Boca Ciega 18. SP Catholic 15.

"We've been in discussions with Tampa mayor (Dick) Greco, and we've been in discussions with the Sports Authority as recently as (Tuesday). We've mentioned to them that we look forward to coming back to Tampa and working with the Sports Authority and the city to construct a stadium. We have a number of people that we've been speaking to over the last couple of months, and one of them is meeting with two of our owners this week and next If the right elements come into place we hope to be back in Tampa." Mutiny and Fusion players will be in a dispersal draft Friday morning. Players will have 48 hours to report to their new teams for the opening of training camp Monday. Some Mutiny players worked out at the Ed Radice training facility in Tampa Tuesday morning before finding out the team folded.

"It's like we were the last to know," said midfielder Steve Ralston, who has played with the Mutiny since 1996. "At first I thought it was going to happen, but as the days went by I figured there was no way they'd do it now. I wish they didn't wait until the last minute." The Mutiny has a three-year lease at RJS, but according to Tampa Sports Authority executive director Henry Saavedra, the Mutiny doesn't have to honor the contract if it's not playing.
