The USVL was founded by Bill Kennedy, a prominent businessman, who is one of Chicagos largest independent builders-jof customized homes.

Kingsley, who also plays for the Huskies, scored his first goal at the 34-minute mark with Zane Higgins assisting. Three minutes later, Hogenhout scored from 22 yards out for a 3-0 halftime lead. Shadow goalie Brian Mullen wasnt tested much all night, finishing with five saves on 13 shots.

Jazz: Have had their hands full with the Kings Continued from Cl three games went into overtime.

Theyre a tough team, said Russell, They shoot without any hesitation. They are a little reckless. They can cause you a lot of problems. They have a lot of guys, it seems like, who love to play, said Karl Malone. And they dont have a hell of a lot to lose, do they? They can play a lot more relaxed than we can.

No doubt about it. By claiming the franchises third playoff berth since its move from Kansas City to Sacramento in 1985, the Kings already have made their season a surprising success. Theyve added some guys, said Stockton. Some really talented guys. The new-look Kings -acquired forward Chris Webber from Washington, signed free-agent center Vlade Divac and used the No.

7 pick in last summers draft on Florida point guard Jason Williams. Sacramento also signed 1996 first-round pick Predrag Stojako-vic, gave veteran Vernon Maxwell another chance and patiently waited for the development of youngsters Corliss Williamson, Tariq Abdul-Wahad and Lawrence Funderburke. Talent-wise, says Jazz coach Jerry Sloan, theyre about as good as anybody. Sacramento averaged 100.6 points during the season, and averaged 105.3 points in the glove-tight games against the Jazz. Remember, Utah had won 16 of its previous 19 meetings with the Kings, 13 by double-digits.

Talk about a turnaround. Theyve got to be as confident playing us as anybody in the league, Sloan said. Individually, the matchups include Malone-Webber, Russell-Williamson, Stockton-Williams, Greg Ostertag-Divac and Jeff Hornacek-Abdul-Wahad. They have four positions, to' start with, where they can post us up, said Sloan. If we cant handle that, it will make them awfully difficult to play against.

The marque matchups: Malone-Webber and Stockton-Williams. Hes a great player, Malone said. Its always a challenge to someone who scores, rends and helps make their whole team better. Predictably, the 37-year-old Stockton downplayed his battle with Williams, 23. Ive never been concerned with individual matchups, he "Certainly, Ive got to do a rood job because hes an important cog in their offense.

But this is all about beating the Sacramento Kings, not anything else. WIMPS NEED NOT APPLY. The Original Toughman Contest is coming to the Coeur DAlene Casino on May 19th 20th.
