He rubbed a pie in her face all in good spirit of course COS water poloist David Atkinson was instrumental in three Giant wins last week He scored 16 goals and had 1 3 assists Eddie Romero may end up starting at quarterback at Kings River Community College this season after all Romero shared quarterback duties last year with Lance Scheidt the son of Tiger Coach Gerry Scheidt But neither freshman player performed well as the team stumbled through a 2-7-1 season The younger Scheidt decided not to play this year But Romero returned only to lose his QB job The Tiger coaching staff impressed by the play of new quarterbacks David Hardcastle and Demetrius Huff converted the 5-foot-8 170-pound Romero to a defensive back at the outset of practices Romero had played the position at Fresno High School so the transition was smooth But now Romero may be the only healthy quarterback Hardcastle was sidelined with a hip injury late in the game with Porterville College last Saturday Since Huff had quit the team the previous week because he was dissatisfied with his limited playing time the Tigers turned to Romero The Tigers lost the game 32-14 but Schedit credited Romero with doing a good job in emergency playing status is uncertain this week so Romero may start for Tigers against West Hills College at 7 pm Saturday at the Reedley High School Stadium It will be the homecoming game Coach Carl Falcons have rebounded from an opening defeat to win four straight games including a 10-9 decision over Fresno CC last week in a Central Valley Conference opener They are ranked ninth in the state by the JC Athletic Bureau Kings River is 0-4 think David has a said Scheidt earlier this week real sore It be a problem but you never know They could take him down and X-ray him and find out more serious than I realize But I think be back At least hoping he is I think anything is Fresno Bee Hanford will attempt to slow Redwood junior quarterback Adam Muniz WYL play begins Friday tolc Tue knr Sou saix gro flee a i wal and By ANDY BOOGAARD Bee sports writer Fresno Bee EDDIE ROMERO Serving many roles Hardcastle was injured on a rare quarterback keeper As a precaution the Tigers are grooming freshman John Irvin from Madera as a possible backup to Romero Irvin had been playing defensive back Romero completed 6 of 11 passes for 61 yards in relief against Porterville but failed to drive his team to a touchdown Tripling his chores as the place-kicker Romero also had tough luck in three field goal attempts missing from 30 35 and 34 yards out missed by inches on two of said Scheidt fact we thought he made one although we have a good angle from our The Tigers also failed to score on two other drives deep in Porterville territory including once when the Pirates stopped them four times from the 1-yard line opponents are attempting to control the ball by running at us a think the winner of the league will go undefeated Everybody else thinks the winner will go something like 3-2 But I think WYL history supports prediction Recent WYL champions all went undefeated with 5-0 records Whitney in 1981 Hanford in Lemoore in 79 and Whitney again in 78 Redwood is averaging 30 points a game under the guidance of Muniz an extremely accurate passer who thrown an interception in 91 attempts this season He is 50 of 91 for a valley sixth-best 740 yards and 10 touchdowns Ranger junior split end Tom Norman has caught seven TD passes He has also booted 14 extra points and scored on a two-point conversion giving him 58 points third-best in the valley Berbereia and Gonzalez have taken some of the heat off Muniz with their effective rushing Berbereia has carried 63 times for 403 yards with four TDs and Gonzalez has added 334 yards on 47 trips an 81 average He has scored five times Defensively Redwood has been led by down linemen Lance Phillips and Kirk Wilson linebackers Brad Landseadel and Tom Kelm and deep backs John Bianco Ron Yoshida Brian Bettencourt and Gilbert Garza Bianco and Bettencourt are sophomores To win Hanford will probably have to bum Redwood with superior speed notably with running backs Alvin Horn and Jon Glass Horn has rushed for 394 yards and three scores Compartive scores carry much weight in the Redwood-Hanford matchup West used a desperation pass to beat Hanford on the final play of the game 27-21 before destroying Redwood by the 30 points But the Bullpups were defeated by Tulare 15-13 in comparison to the 35-point blitzing of the Redskins The West Yosemite League perhaps in its greatest cycle of football talent ever will get started Friday night in what should be a grand opening Five of the six WYL teams Reedley being the only exception appear to have championship credentials This league traditionally very balanced has produced two or three above-average teams with regularity This season there are five featuring the second-ranked Redwood (5-1) and lOth-ranked Mount Whitney (3-0-2) Other WYL heavyweights are Golden West (5-0) Lemoore (4-1) and Hanford (2-3) With this cluster of talent important matchups will be guaranteed in every one of the five WYL weeks For openers Friday Redwood will visit Hanford and Golden West will travel to Lemoore Mt Whitney will entertain Reedley (0-4-1) in the other game Coach Roger Rangers of Redwood have rebounded with a vengeance after being whipped by top-ranked West of Bakersfield 42-12 three weeks ago Since they belted fifth-ranked Tulare 35-0 and Delano 40-0 Outside of the West game defense has not yielded a touchdown against the run this season Combining that muscle with a formidable offense charged by junior quarterback Adam Muniz and running backs Jeff Berbereia and Hector Gonzalez the Rangers will be flying high into Hanford on a roll right said Kelly five legitimate contenders I think it is very important to win that first game even though 1 think you will be necessarily out of it if you lose it 34th ANNIVERSARY IPRICE CUTTINGI Coi me me Ch i un
