FHSAA by-laws not a job for someone not inclined to put in long days behind a desk on the phone and in meetings very happy about my said Rozelle who is not related to his counterpart in the NFL Pete Rozelle easy to get depressed Fortunately I have a very good Board of Directors helping me but sometimes there enough hours in a for some cases that he has argued against He felt for Edison Terry Andrews who spent time in jail then tried to play basketball and was ruled ineligible because he was too old Andrews went to court two seasons ago and was able to play aided by court injunctions All told the FHSAA has gone to court 15 times the last two years and has ultimat-ley won every case (some on appeal) except the 44-player roster limit in state football playoffs that was challenged by Killian during the 1981-82 season That case is still pending in the Florida Supreme Court Rozelle is hopeful that the Supreme Court rules in the favor in that case and recommends that coaches and schools legally challenge the organization they are members of walked in the shoes of coaches and I hold them in high regard Rozelle said think anyone influences a kid more than a coach Sometimes our rulings conflict with the feelings of coaches but By GEORGE DIAZ Herald Spores Wrifo Fred Rozelle quite look the part of The Enforcer Mild-mannered glasses A 56-year-old family man with a wife and three kids But make no mistake when the last word is said regarding important decisions I about high school ath- 1 letics ears are tuned to Fred Rozelle -wi He is the executive secretary of the Flori- vwiy da High School Activi ties Association the governing body of high school athletics in the state From his office in Gainesville Rozelle oversees a network of schools 558 strong supervises 18 sports and schedules state tournaments for most of them and enforces the standards of eli my job is to enforce the bylaws of the association and to promote fair competition Sometimes that puts me on the other side of the Rozelle graduated from Lake City Columbia High School in 1945 He left the school as the president of the student body as an All-State and All-Southern halfback and with a scholarship to Florida in hand After graduating from Florida where he played linebacker Rozelle went to Jacksonville Jackson in 1950 At Jackson he coached the basketball team and was a defensive football coach In 1954 he moved to St Petersburg High as head football coach and athletic director That season Rozelle gave an energetic Florida graduate his first coaching job That was Doug Dickey who would later become head coach at Florida Nine years later his next job would lead Rozelle into administration as the Pinellas County Athletic Director for a year and a half He served as principal of two high schools one for eight and one for four years before becoming an area supervisor in Pinellas County When Floyd Lay decided to retire after a strong 17-year reign as FHSAA executive secretary Rozelle put in his application He took over on Sept 6 1S80 applied along with other people for the Rozelle said discussed the matter with Mr Lay and I was his choice That of course flattered me "This job has quite a heritage Mr Lay set an extremely high standard for the association and left it in real good shape At first frankly it was scary Now I feel more comfortable because I know more about my Rozelle has yet to entertain thoughts of retirement but when the day comes he has the perfect plan I tell you Rozelle said got a little condo on Treasure Island in St Pete I seldom see it now but I know that it Is waiting for me When I go there and read the To offset the load Rozelle has a staff of five assistants to help with the "mountain of But the important decisions are always left to Rozelle: The kind that always seems to involve two parties and the kind that always seems to upset one of the parties involved There are fines reprimands and defending FHSAA decisions in the courtroom when an athlete or representative from a school fights a ruling Rozelle a former coach has empathy a lucky evening for Gables Southridge By GARY FERMAN Herald Writer 5 Colonial Christian 20 Island

by Lau Lazaro Diaz homered in the bottom of the inning to give South Miami the lead going into the seventh That is when Gables came up with its minor miracle Cobra pitcher Armando Alvarez walked Wes Yeary to open the inning and Manny Nunez came in to relieve him Nunez retired Jesus Gonzalez and pinch-hitter Mike Oliver but walked Oscar Aguirre and Mike Fiore to load the bases Arguelles hit a routine grounder to short for what been the final out But second baseman Hector Fernandez who went 22 games without an error at one point this season was late getting to second for the force and the ball bounced off his glove into right field allowing the tying and winning runs to score District 16 AAA Arturo Diaz pitched a complete game striking out seven while allowing six hits to lead St

seventh inning to defeat South Miami 7-6 in a wild District 16AAAA semifinal daddy must be watching say lucky coach they say third baseman Charlie Lau Jr said knowing that was exactly what the Cavaliers were all up reiterated Hattis looking skyward once more A few hours later Southridge Coach Steve Hertz was looking upward as well trying to figure out how his Spartans managed to sneak past feisty Killian 4-3 The Spartans trailed until Julio single to left scored two runs in the bottom of the sixth hit the balLwell we played poorly and we coach said Hertz was a horrible game I know how we Lucky or not Gables (18-7) and Southridge (23-4) will meet tonight at 7:30 to decide which team will advance to next Region 8AAAA championship Both had to use their top two pitchers Monday but will try to pitch them again tonight Gables will start Jim McFadden who pitched the final two innings and got the victory against South Miami (18-7) Hertz likely will start Aris Rodriguez who allowed all three Killian runs to score in the first inning before giving way to JC Batista Batista pitched 6 innings of shutout ball and his pitching status is questionable South Miami jumped on top of Gables in the bottom of the second when Adrian Ochoa singled and eventually scored on Enrique infield grounder But the Cavaliers responded with three runs in the third on Oscar RBI single and Fernando two-run
