The largest groups came from Shreveport, Abilene, San Antonio, and Austin for the events which included and Division singles and doubles for seventh, eighth and ninth grade players. The overflow of games forced GTC pro Jack Coleman to use courts at Central Park and Eastfield Community College to complete the schedules from early Saturday morning until after dark Sunday night. Rain delayed play for a couple of hours on Sunday.

The Louisiana groups, from Southfield Junior High and the Pierremont Oaks Tennis Center made the strongest showing and took home over 20 phies, representing first through third place honors in the largest junior tournament. Larry Oxford brought about 40 players from San Antonio Alamo Heights. His team and the squad from SA Academy collected a large number of points. Other well represented teams came from Wichita Falls Zundy, Austin Westlake, Highland Park, and Dallas Greenhill. Mark Stubbs and Tim Daniel were star witnesses to the fact that Junior Developemnt program is working, and well.

Stubbs, playing in his first tournament, came through with a victory in Boys 8C Singles.

As he improved his placement of shots, he had to move more also.

Mark later said, never say uh-uh to running again. That saved my On the way up, he defeated Jim Haynes (9-7) and Brian Lambardino (8-0) both of Southfield. Streeter earlier defeated Richard Turner of Garland (8-1). Daniel, a Memorial Junior High ninth grader, made another strong showing in Boys 9A Singles. He beat Scott Peavy of Southfield (8-2) in the semifinals.

Cooper final won the split sets, 6-3, There were no hard feelings as the two finalists got together and took the Boys 9 Doubles title by defeating Larry Hill and Doug Hunter of Mesquite, 6-3, 6-0. Their semifinals victory was over Pollack and Clifford Fisher of Greenhill, 8-1. Fisher and Pollack had earlier battled each other for the 9B Singles title until Pollack won, 6 2 2 6 6 0 Robert Meyer of Lake Highlands and Gregg Aningian of Richardson Northwood will finish out the Boys 9C draw Tuesday evening at Brookhaven, where both boys play regularly- In Boys 8A Singles, Kenny Still of Greenhill outlasted Roger Wright of St. Marks, 3-6, 6-3, 6-2 for the title.

Wright got his first-place trophy, however, as he and John Scanlon of Northwood teamed up to win the Boys 8 Doubles from Still and Kim Forsythe of Greenhill, 7-6, 6-4. Forsythe had lost his first singles match to Wright (8-5) on Saturday. Pierremont Oaks girls were dominant at all levels Wendy ehan won the Girls 7C Singles (6-2, 6-1) over Janie Pittman.

Kathy Sissom and Pam Hill of Dallas combined for the Girls 9 Doubles title over Laureen Cotter and Stephanie Fess of Pierremont Oaks, 6-1, 6-3. Big remains for 8-AAAA title There still a lot of questions to be answered. There are still some tough games ahead in District 8-AAAA before the answer can come.

Though Highland Park and Mesquite failed to settle the question of total elimination for themselves last week, both teams kept alive an outside chance for staying in the loop race. Scots and Skeeters battled to a 14-14 tie in a game where one Mesquite touchdown was angrily disputed by HP coach Herman Bailey. The play in question was a Ricky Remley fumble picked up by Game reports end Jack McDonald which was turned into a 39-yard TD run and a first half, 7-6 Skeeter lead. HP kept hopes alive by coming back for a 25-yard pass, Mark Weatherford to Larry Dupre, with less than a minute left in the game. The tie left both teams tied at 2-1-1 in loop play.

But both teams have to face one of the leaders in the final two weeks of the regular season. If either exhibits tenacity similar to last week, they could create problems for either South Garland or North Mesquite.

But both of the leaders have prospects for more troubling times in the final week, reserved for cross-town Garland at South Garland, North Mesquite at Mesquite. In the two games remaining, coaches for each unit will no doubt be stressing the old any given ideas to their teams and anyone else who will listen.

For the leaders, the statements will come in fear. For the challengers, the remarks will come in hope. South Garland did one of the best things to increase the hopes from finishing as winners in the way they defeated Denton last week. After a rugged stretch of comefrom-behind games, the Colonels got off to an early start and went on to thump DISTRICT Teams South Garland North Mesquite Mesquite Highland Park R.L Turner Denton Garland last week's results: South Garland 13; Highland Park 14, Mesquite 14, week's R.L Turner South Garland, Saturday; Mesquite at Denton worse than any other team has this season. Since the defense had been embarrassed a few weeks back in Mesquite, Colonel coaches took the off week to do some shuffling.

All of the changes, which were set to counter the Broncos exceptional speed, proved useful as SG shutout what had been an relative effective Denton offensive unit. Since Highland Park has some players with similar talents, SG may need to apply the same techniques on the Scots this week. Denton coach Billy Ryan projected the readiness for the game after a two- week layoff, but noted that the defensive revamping was not expected. SG coach Jim Dodson said he felt the changes had a lot to do with his team holding the scoreless. One aspect of the game in which Dodson was more pleased was the early scoring by the offense.

Because of the lead, the Colonels were able to stay with their game play and throughly dominate the remainder of the game with their ball-control strategies. Highland Park has the best defensive record in 8-AAAA, so the Scots are sure to challenge South attempt for a repeat this week.

The Colonels could have the confidence for doing a replay, though, as they have proven their abilities to get points on the board early and build on them for a stronger victory. As for replays, the Garland Owls are still headed in the wrong direction. Though many of the youthful players have come around, the whole squad has been responsible for too many mistakes at the wrong time. Garland could get turned around Saturday night, and put a sure halt to title hopes. If the defense finds ways to stop Remley and quarterback Rusty Johnson, chances are they can it can set up good enough field position for Jimmy Rodgers and Randy Love to take over and get the offense rolling again.

Doing that poses some questions, though.

Occasional spurts of cheering, though muffled by the SMU Homecoming crowd, could be heard from the block of Orange and White clad football fans. contingent of Texas Exes numbered a little over 56 at Saturday game, and they f(xind little consolation in the first half as they watched Randy Savage, a local player on the SMU defensive unit, and his teammates stir up plenty of trouble for the Longhorns.

But it take long for the tone to change. The second half, as most TV viewers know by now, was a different story. After an early third-quarter mishap, the quit fumbling around and atarted scoring some of the points Savage and his teammates had denied with some sturdy goaline stands in the first half. Someone must have talked a hard line to the Texas squad during half time. It certainly Farmers face 6-AAA showdown By DAVE BRADY Just two weeks remain in district play for all of the teams in 6-AAA.

But in those two weeks of games are the most crucial parings for the loop contenders. Losses for any of the squads involved mean sure elimination from title contention. The focal point of the 6-AAA weekend will be in McKinney where the undefeated Lions host Lewisville Farmers the only other unbeaten teamin the district. It will be the final regular season game for the Farmers who are ranked in top three with their 9-0 record. Lewisville seemed out to prove the claims by some that the offense of this season is better than last state champions.

And last week the Farmers made their point against one of the stronger defensive units of in the loop. Junior tailback Paul Rice left no doubts in mind about his intent to help the Farmers get revenge for the only blimish on last record. Rice rushed for 204 yards on 26 attempts as the Farmers made a 48-6 mockery of the defense which had given up only 21 points in loop play (all to McKinney the week before). McKinney was open last week, so the Lions have had plenty of time to work on new ways to defense the awesome Lewisville offense. McKinney is the only other 6-AAA team which has shown exceptional defensive strength this season.

The Lions have given up only 21 points in the games that count the most. Though Gainesville does not have a parUcularly strong of- fense, defensive effort for last week was better than any other game this season. The ball-control continued to serve their game dominating plans, also. Lion coach Ron Poe has his staff working on ways to gain more control of the ball as well as defense Rice and fullback Mike Nichols Friday night. Earlier in the season.

North Garland proved the could be scored on and NG coach Jim Burch echoed the thoughts of most of the loop coaches when he said, believe their defense can be scored on, if somebody can just find a way to stop their offense To date, no teams has come up with the right strategy for doing so as the Farmers are ble loop record they can. If McKinney does come up with the right combination Friday night, it should provide enough momenteum for the Lions to finish off South Grand Prairie the following week. The Farmers would have to sit back and wait or go to Grand Prairie and cheer the Warriors on. While the big timers are battling it out. North Garland will travel to DeSoto with hopes of staying on the winning side.

The Raiders picked up their first loop win over Berkner last week and still have the chance for a .560 season if they win the next two. Panthers their first win in 8- AAA. Bonham, which had been offensively idle most of the season, pulled some similar surprizes on South Grand Prairie last week and battled for a 12-12 tie. Berkner travels to Bonham this week, but Bonham will come to North Garland for the final game of the season. If the Purple Warriors are starting to find themselves, North Garland have a chance for letting up any to match their record of last season.

Coming up even could give North Garland prospects of a better start when the Raiders move into District 8-AAAA next fall. have been Dr. Stephen H.
