Third Annual Legendary Pocket Billiard Stars, ESPN. RADIO No events scheduled Pasco Sports Eiland noncommittal about redshirt rumor Hernando New coach out to make Leopards go f0 1 On Cary Waldman Coach George Hemond LAND O' LAKES The Tribune has been told that former Zephyrhills High School football and baseball standout David Eiland probably will be redshirted by the University of Florida football program. As of Tuesday afternoon, the University of Florida's sports information office had not received confirmation of Eiland's situation from the UF staff. But a reliable, unnamed source has said the coaching staff already has told the 6-foot-2, 220-pound Eiland that he will be redshirted before the season: is completed. Eiland, however, would not comment.

Redshirting has become a much-used alternative in big-time college football circles. It's now a widespread practice, especially for promising freshmen the coaching staff feels aren't quite ready for Division I action. Eiland, the Tribune's high school Male Athlete of the Year for 1983-84, recently had been switched to the fullback position. He was rumored to be the No. 3 player at the spot, a new one for him.

Eiland just turned 18 and was originally recruited as a wide receiver, tight end or defensive back prospect after playing almost every position on offense and defense for the 1983 Bulldogs. He also punted, made the Tribune's All-Area second team at that position and was the Tribune's All-Area Baseball Player of the Year in 1983-84. The redshirting decision doesn't have to be made until after the season if Eiland doesn't play a varsity game for the Gators. Florida is deep in running backs. This could be in Eiland's favor during his new career in Gainesville.

However, he also may pitch for the UF baseball team. At this stage, anything can happen. Last season. University of Miami defensive lineman Jerome Brown, then a freshman, was told by the UM coaches that he might be redshirted before Miami's first game with Florida. Miami suffered its only loss of the season and Brown, a former Hernando standout, was given new life.

He showed up for practice the following Monday and fought his way into the lineup and earned some playing time. Brown is now a valuable back-up and was a contributor in Miami's national championship. And after the Charley Pell resignation and continuing NCAA investigation at Florida, anything is now possible for Eiland. The professional football career of former Saint Leo College basketball standout Sankar Montoute is still on hold. He continued on the injured reserve list for the Kansas City Chiefs.

The 6-5, 230-pound linebacking prospect has been hoping to make the Chiefs roster after not playing football for over three years. Mountoute transferred to Saint Leo after two seasons on the University of Wisconsin football team as a solid linebacker. He moved to Saint Leo to rejoin his former high school basketball and baseball coach Gary Richert. Montoute became an instant starter for the Monarchs and had a standout senior season. Dallas and Seattle also showed interest in Montoute but Kansas City signed him a day after the NFL draft when he was not selected by any team.

One of his former coaches at Wisconsin, Doug Graber, is now with the Chiefs. He felt Montoute warranted a shot. Now, Montoute must wait until his injuries heal and see if there is an opening on the Chiefs' roster. At A Glance School Hernando Principal Don Brown Athletic director J.I.

We will be disappointed if come Nov. 9 we won't be fighting Pasco for the 3A-District 7 football championships. All the above statements were made by George Hemond, veteran head coach who has taken over at Hernando High after many successful years at Class 4A Dunedin. "The right kind of attitude is here to be a winner," said Hemond, who took over a team that was one of the favorites to win the district crown last year only to suffer under inexperienced coaching and finish with a 5-6 record. Hemond said there are deficiencies by the players in the knowledge of the game.

"We will have to coach well," said Hemond, who has seven starters returning on both offense and defense. "The attitude on the squad is excellent. It's much better than I hoped for after what we saw in the spring. "This team was not well disciplined when we arrived in the spring. It's 100 per cent better in the fall.

No team of mine has worked harder than this group since the start of fall practice. "We have less time to get ready this year. We have four fewer days for double practice sessions and are opening a week earlier. It's a position all coaches find themselves in, but it's more difficult for new coaches. "We are telescoping time to make up for this.

We feel we have the kids in the right place. They are all placed where they can play." Hemond said the coaching staff is staying on the same course as the spring, teaching fundamentals. "This is a whole new story for this group," said Hemond. "Everyone is now pulling in the same direction. "This group has punished itself.

We have worked them to the limit and noi one has complained." Hemond said the key to success for the Leopards this year includes being well conditioned and well organized. The personable head coach said his offense isn't simple, but not demanding. "We will use as many weapons as we can," he said. "We will line up some with a one-back offense, a two-back offense, spread out the defense and sprint out. "Our defense in the past has been complicated at Dunedin, but we can't do that here yet.

We will have a coordinated defense where every player has responsibilities. There will be no free lancing. This has been difficult for some of our players. "If all 11 do their job, the defense will shine. If one blows an assi-sgnment, we are in trouble.

You will football." The offensive line will have senior Wes Harris and freshman Bobby King at tackles, senior Pat Darby and senior Mike Wingrove at guards and senior Chuck Yoder at center. Harris, Darby and Yoder are returning starters. King is a 240-pounder who just needs experience. Wingrove is aggressive. "The line is grasping what we are teaching," said Hemond.

"They are working hard. Harris has shown some fine leadership." Among those expected to see a great deal of action in the trenches include junior Ken Woistman, a 5-10, 190-pound transfer center from Pittsburgh; tackles Troy Bishop and David Tinch and guards Mike Lovelock, Darrin McKethan and Drew Porter. Hemond said when the season is concluded if linebackers Sutton, Darby and Tipton lead the team in tackles (in that order), it was a good season. "Our defense is designed for linebackers to lead us in tackles," said the coach. Hunnicutt also will see service as a backup at linebacker.

Harris and Watts are starters on defense at ends, backed up by Tinch and Charlie Gardner. Lovelock and Bishop will start at tackles with help from King, Yoder and Williams. "I'm happy here with the progress shown by the four down linemen," said Hemond. Hernando probably has the two smallest monster players in the area in Jensen and Jo Jo McLain, but Hemond said not to be fooled. Jensen is 5-7 and 135 pounds, while McLain is 5-5 and 110 pounds.

"Jo Jo will knock your socks off," said Hemond. "Jensen is tough." Hudson and Timmons return to man the corner spots, backed up by Lietz and McRae, while Woods is set for another year at safety backed up by Brackins. "I'm very comfortable with our secondary," said Hemond. "All are good hitters." Hemond knows well the edge some high school teams have with an outstanding punter and kicker. "Most high school games between two even teams are won and lost in the kicking game," said Hemond.

"There are more big plays one way or another made here. We are fortunate in one of our strong points is the kicking game." Timmons is back to handle the punting duties after averaging 40 yards last year, while Yoder, the team's place kicker last year, is being pressed by Tim Woodford, a transfer from Springstead, who did the kicking for the Eagles last fail. "The parents of this community should be very proud of their young men," said Hemond. "We have a class group of youngsters, who answer every question with a reply of I have no doubt now these kids want a championship." see several formations both ways. It just depends on who we are playing and what we are given." Hemond feels the team speed and quickness is good overall in 1984.

The Leopards received a big blow opening day when Alan Stewart, last year's starting quarterback, went down with a leg injury and didn't return to practice until Tuesday. It put Harry Timmons out front in the race for the signal calling job. "The two seniors were in a dead heat after spring drills," said Hemond. "Both worked hard over the summer. Alan has been around every day.

It just depends on how hard he works to see if he catches up with Harry. "It's good, wholseome competition here. Hernando will pass more this year. I'm not afraid to throw from the end zone on first down." Senior Theo Woods returns at running back, while junior Joe Watts is set at fullback. Woods gained 1,268 yards last year and scored 14 touchdowns.

Despite not playing football last year, Watts was a standout blocker and runner in junior high and excelled in the spring. Woods is looking forward to having the 6-1, 192-pounder with him in the backfield. Senior Joe Begg, a 210-pounder, will back up Watts. He started several games last year at fullback. Junior Jim Jensen and junior Herbert Miller will see duty at tailback.

"We have excellent speed three deep at tailback," said Hemond. "If the blocking is there, they all can go, go, go." Pat McRae is at flanker back, backed up by Chris Lietz. Both have good hands, run good routes and have speed. Sophomore Kevin Sutton will start at tight end, while sophomore David Hunnicutt and freshman Kevin Fitzpatrick will back up. "Kevin is a 3.8 student-athlete," said Hemond.

"He's a hitter with all the tools. He played a lot last year on the varsity as a freshman." J.D. Hudson, Johnny Brackins and Charles Tipton haven't made up their minds who will start at split end. "We are still looking for one to move forward and take charge," said Hemond. "It's a new position for all of them, but they have played Feacher only active NFL pro from area Crystal River's Cioe opens with a 77 CRYSTAL RIVER Joe Cioe began his quest for a berth in the match play portion of the U.S.

Don Swofford of Bucs and George Floyd of Jets are both on the injured reserve list, but former Hernando star Feacher with the Browns is a backup receiver. By WALT RIDDLE Tribune Sports Writer BROOKSVILLE Ricky Feacher is ready for his ninth year. George Floyd of the New York Jets is on the injured reserve list. Ditto for Don Swofford of the Tampa Bay Bucs. Jimmy Hunter was released by the New York Jets.

Mike Revell is in Canada job hunting. That's the status of the five professional football players with area ties. Feacher, a graduate of Hernando High School, is beginning his ninth year of National Football League wars. The wide receiver for the Cleveland Browns has lost his starting job to Willie Adams, because of a hand injury suffered during a pre-season game. "It's a very bad sprain," said Feacher by phone Tuesday morning.

"I also have a hairline fracture of the hand. It's getting better. There is still some pain, but I'm ready to go." The Browns open the 1984 season Monday night in Seattle against the Seahawks. "Time really flies, even after all this time," said Feacher. "We were only 1-3 in pre-season, but we have a lot of young talent and the veterans didn't see much action.

"Paul McDonald is all set at quarterback. He showed a lot of poise and has things under control. Willie Adams is a good, young receiver. I'll just wait my chance and see what happens." Floyd, a second year pro who played his high school ball at Hernando, has a hyper-extended knee. It has bothered him on and off all during pre-season.

The defensive halfback was on the injured reserve list the entire 1983 season, because of a knee injury suffered in the final pre-season. A Jet spokesman told The Tribune the injury has nothing to do with what the knee Floyd injured last year. He will be on the injured reserve list for a minimum of four weeks. Hunter was a linebacker, who was on the injured reserve list the entire 1983 season. He attended Parrott Junior High School in Brooksville until his family moved to Tampa prior to his sophomore year in high school.

He played three sports at Parrott. Hunter was a star for three years at Hillsborough High School. Swofford, who now resides locally, played his college ball at the University of Florida. The offensive tackle injured his back in the weight room recently. Swofford's wife teaches in the local school system.

He worked with the Hernando football team last year prior to leaving for the Canadian Football League. He signed with the Cincinnati Bengals of the NFL this year, but was traded to Tampa Bay last month. Revell, a rookie running back, played his high school ball at Hernando. He was cut by the Dallas Cowboys last week. Mike left for Canada Monday for a tryout with Saskatchewan of the Canadian Football League.

Curtis Bunche announced recently he's hanging up his helmet for good. Bunche was cut by two teams in the United States Football League in the last month of the season. Bunche, a defensive lineman, is a graduate of Hernando High School, who was plagued by injuries throughout his pro career. He was cut by the Philadelphia Eagles and the Pittsburgh Steelers of the NFL, because of injuries. He also played one year in Canada prior to a year with the Tampa Bay Bandits before being injured and missing half the Woods gains another PBA win, $2,500 at Valdosta NEW PORT RICHEY Ron Blte week with a 1,495 series- Jim Mills highest witn a 713 series and a 246 Woods, owner-manager of Hudson JfM and Billy Curley rolled 1,481 for sec- game at Bowlers Club in the Singles Bowl again is a winner of a Southern jaCK ampDeil tty-lML ond place.
