The Sentinel PORTS Tuesday, December 16, 1986 Waiters among All-State picks Fisher, 6-0, 185, is an inside-outside type runner. He has 4.4 sped at 40-yards, but has the strength to overpower tacklers. He ran for 1,476 yards and 22 touchdowns. He, too, is a standout defensive back, with seven interceptions. Arizona State and Clemson appear to be leading the pack in attracting this tailback, who helped led his team to a 10-1-1 record.

Missouri, Pitt, Penn State, Alabama and Southern California also have expressed interest. if ft Mechanicsburg's Rick Matty puts the clamps on CVs Mike Richards in their 167-pound bout Monday nignt. Mechanicsburg shocks PHILADELPHIA (AP) Bishop McDevitt's Ricky Watters has gained a spot in the backfield on the first team of the Associated Press' 1986 All-Pennsylvania Football Team. Although the Crusaders had a mediocre season this year at 6-5, the 6-3, 190-pound Watters was regarded as the premier player in the area. McDevitt coach Tim Rimple says Watters, a strong and quick runner, is being pursued by Ohio State, Tennessee, Notre Dame, Michigan, UCLA, Florida, Penn State, Boston College and Rutgers.

He gained 1,578 yards on 243 carries, a 6.4 average, and scored 17 touchdowns. Watters joins Matt Blundin, a 6-7 quarterback at Ridley High, and running backs Gary Brown of Williamsport and Kelvin Fisher of Ambridge in the first team backfield. The first-team line consists of ends Scott Thompson of West Catholic (Philadelphia) and Darrelle Porter of Perry, interior linemen Sean Love of Marian Catholic, Paul Siever of Downingtown, Gregg Skrepenak of Wilkes-Barre GAR, Frank Gallagher of Wyoming Valley and Chip Nitowski of Highland. The first-team defense lines up with ends Brian Shannon of Wilmington, and Marc Spindler of West Scranton; interior linemen Bill Doverspike of North Hills, Scott Hart of Hampton and Nelson Walker of Ringgold; linebackers Jeff Christy of Freeport, Donn Grimm of Southmoreland, and Andre Powell of York, and backs Louis Riddick of Pennridge, Yusef Washington of Duquesne and David Jones of Ambridge. Blundin, despite missing the last four games with a thigh injury, threw for 1,196 yards and 11 touchdowns in seven games as Ridley posted an 11-0 record.

College recruiters praised the husky quarterback, describing him as the best passing prospect to come out of the Philadelphia area in many years. Ridley Coach Joe McNicholas said Stanford, Miami, Notre Dame, Duke and Penn State were interested in Blundin. Blundin, who academically is among the top 10 students in a class of 400, has his choice of football or basketball scholarships at most major colleges. He apparently will wait until the basketball season is over before deciding which sport he'll play. He's an All-State prospect in basketball.

Williamsport's Brown, a 5-9, 193-pound speedster, carried the ball for 1,950 yards for Coach Tim Montgomery's Eastern Conference champions (12-1). He averaged 7 yards per carry and impressed, among others, Nebraska, Syracuse, Penn State, Maryland and Rutgers. Montgomery says Brown runs the 40-yard dash in 4.5 seconds, has great lateral quickness and balance, is a strong blocker, and could play in a Division 1 college defense.

At 132 and 138 we did an awful lot. We should have taken advantage of that in the upper weights." Mechanicsburg first got on the board when Shawn Hennessey pinned Brian Carr in one minute at 112. David Haines closed the gap to 12-9 for the Wildcats at 1 19 with a 14-7 decision over Jason Groelly and Jeff Zeigler put Mechanicsburg on top with a technical fall in 5:41 over Thad Engle at 126. CV regained the lead when Mike Thomas pinned Tim Houck at 132 and Mark Fake followed with an 11-2 major decision over Rich Dietrich at 138. The Eagles stretched their lead to 28-15 when Mark McCoy scored a technical fall in 5: 11 over Sean Madera.

Mechanicsburg began its comeback at 155, where Steve Barley nipped Mike Langan 5-4, breaking a 4-4 tie on a stalling point with just nine seconds remaining in the match. The Eagles then lost a point on the team score for unsportsmanlike conduct and Rick Matty brought Mechanicsburg to within three with a 2:46 pin over Mike Richards at 167. John Lichtel then put the Wildcats on top for the first time since 126 with a 16-2 superior decision over Dirk Madison, setting up the heavyweight finale. Both teams begin Mid-Penn ByKathiLawton Staff writer George Way should be making a trip to the barber shop today. But whether or not he keeps up his end of the deal is the big question.

The Mechanicsburg High wrestling coach agreed to get a crew cut like the majority of his wrestlers have if his team beat Cumberland Valley Monday night. The Wildcats came through, largely on the strength of heavyweight Brett Lechthaler's 9-5 decision victory, and won their first match in 21 years over the Eagles by a score of 32-27. Cumberland Valley led by 11 points after eight matches, but the Wildcats won the final four to come from behind and win the non-league tilt. Way didn't expect to have so many points to overcome going imo the last four matches. "I thought we'd be better at 132 and 138," he said.

"I thought we'd give up six there, but not 10." Although the heavyweight always seems to be the hero when a contest is won on the last match, Way pointed out that several other matches were key ones, too. "Other guys had to get six points," he said. Complicating matters was that Mechanicsburg gave up a pin to start the match, then forfeited the next one. CV's Eric Tripp got the Eagles started with a fall in 2 25 over Mechanicsburg's Jeff Simcoe. Then CV's Rick Wertz won by WRESTllNq RODNdup forfeit at 105, giving the Eagles a 12-0 lead.

"I have two real small kids and they're real inexperienced," Way said. "For me to throw one of them out there (against Wertz) they'd have gotten even more momentum that way." The roar in the CV gym grew deafening in the final match as Lechthaler quickly built a 9-2 lead over Dave Batista in the first period of the heavyweight match. But after that, Lechthaler, who sat out last season, began to run out of gas and couldn't score anymore points. Batista began to get control of the match, but not enough to score anything other than an escape point and two stalling points and Lechthaler held on to win. 9-5.

"He wrestled real hard early and went for the fall and used a lot of energy," Way noted. "He hasn't been in a situation like probably never." The Wildcats are now 2-0 on the season. CV coach Don Humes, though, is a bit disappoined in his team, which is now 1-3 after going 1-2 in a quad match Saturday. "If you really want to compete you need everyone at the right weights," he said. "You have to be able to put the best team you have Blackwell guns Owls in 76-65 top-ranked Nevada-Las Vegas on a buzzer shot in the preseason NIT semifinals, carried as much weight as the wins.

"Since UNLV is ranked No. 1 and they beat us in the last second this year, they might be the engine and we're the caboose," Chaney said. "They might be carrying us, is all I'm saying. "Their reputation is somewhat helping us. I'm just happy someone is considering us." As he's done all season, Owls' senior guard Nate Blackwell kept shooting despite a cold first half, scoring 16 of his 22 points in the final 20 minutes.

Swingman Mike Vreeswyk sank nine of 15 shots, including 3-fo-4 from three-point range, for 21 points. UCLA sophomore Jerome "Pooh" Richardson, a star at Philadelphia's Ben Franklin High, scored 15 to lead the Bruins, who have lost two straight after winning their first three. "They're definitely a Top 20 team, and for us to beat them it just feels good," said Blackwell, who was 2-for-10 from the field in the first half and 6-for-10 in the second. "I think we showed a lot of character today." With a standing-room crowd of 4,500 howling its approval, Temple scored nine straight points early in the second half for a 45-36 lead. A few minutes later, the Owls put together a 14-4 surge including nine from Blackwell to build a 67-49 bulge.

"It's hard to win here," said Richardson. "But they PHILADELPHIA (AP) Temple had just beaten 17th-ranked UCLA 76-65, but John Chaney, coach of the 20th-ranked Owls, wanted to keep playing. After Monday night's victory, Chaney challenged UCLA Coach Walt Hazzard to a game of one-on-one, just like they used to play when Chaney was Hazzard's gym teacher at Overbrook High School in the late 1950s. "Right now?" said Hazzard. "Right now, get your stuff on!" said Chaney, in a jovial mood following his team's fifth straight victory of the season and 25th straight at McGonigle Hall.

Temple, which cracked the Top 20 for the first time this week, is now 8-1 this season. But Chaney, who scoffs at early-season polls, said the Owls' lone loss, to were hustling.

"If, within the framework, I can get some individual honors it would be nice, but most of all I want us to do well in theNCAAs. "What I'd really like to do is have a good, solid season and get some tryouts. If I do have a good season I feel I have the potential to play in the pros." There is very little outdoor professional soccer in the United States.

There are, though, two indoor leagues. Another possibility is playing out of the country where there is outdoor soccer. "I'm a soccer purist and outdoors is where the game originated," he says. "I still like indoor, just not as much. Another thing I'd like to do is, if it doesn't work out to play, I'd definitely like to go into coaching."

"I'm reading the game more and making things happen as opposed to reacting to things after they happen. I make earlier decisions. "Coming out of high school I thought I had really good skills. When I got here I saw that you don't make it with just skills. You have to have a good understanding of the game to implement your skills.

What I've picked up is how to best utilize my skills." The main change for Lilley is not being part of the scoring column. "I was used to scoring a lot," he adds. "Now, as a defender I get satisfaction when the other team gets shut out. There were a couple games I was able to contribute offensively. I had two assists against North Carolina." Lilley feels that a move back to midfield could enhance his chances of playing professional soccer someday.

"Last year, we had a strong team and I just wanted to be in the lineup to start, and one of the few positions where I could start was right fullback," Lilley says. "I would have fun moving back to play midfield. One of the reasons this year that (Coach Gordon Bradley) put me back there was to help some of our younger players. Two defensive backs and the goalie were freshmen. He wanted me back there to stabilize the defense a little bit." Lilley was one of the most prominent players on his high school teams.

He realized when he got to college that he was only one among many good players. "When I first got here everyone was bigger, faster, stronger," he says. "Everyone was the best player on his high school team. Now I've made use transition and I'm one of the better players on the team, one of the leaders." Lilley feels he's improved his game since high school in several ways. soccer under his belt, the junior has experienced several changes in his soccer game since his high school days.

Back then, he always played on the forward line or at midfield and was a keen force in scoring goals or contributing assists. At George Mason, he played at midfield his freshman year, then moved to the defensive backfield as a sophomore. This year, he played sweeper, the last line of defense before the goalkeeper. "He's been the stalwart of our defense," says George Mason assistant coach George Ligster. "He had an exceptional season.

He has improved year-by-year and has potential to be an excellent player. "He's the type of player who has very good skills. He's also got determination and athletic ability to play anywhere." Lilley enjoys his defensive role, but is considering going back to the midfield for his senior year.
