Neither did the skills that Covone started honing 15 years ago on the playgrounds and in the youth leagues of Hialeah la a suburb of Miami a very creative Chyzowych said of Covone who in 1989 helped Wake to a school best 15 4 2 record and a No 4 national ranking "And he can score goals whenever chances come Because of his creativity on the field a very mature soccer background is a clue to his maturity He followed his older brothers Mike and Chris into the game at an early age whole family played he said I think one of the main reasons why I started playing My father passed away when I was 2 and my brothers turned to soccer as an outlet after my death I just followed them never hit the burnout stage Growing up near Miami there were always pickup games going on in the DEACONS Continued rom Page 34 for the final two spots The matter was further complicated by the pres ence of South Steve Liebier and East Tennessee red Warren on the four man com mittee was getting real political" Had

ordered armed guards to protect them until NAS CAR executives arrive A medical evacuation helicopter which is usually at every in field hospital during Winston Cup events was missing from CMS

the big hit and saw the debris flying I was afraid someone else was going to hit me so I tried to coax my car a little further down the track guess that guy (McEachern) just see the caution Norman Negre a veteran NAS parks and those pickup games teach you how to love the game first international game rep resenting the United States was in China in front of 80000 people" Covone said was 15 and it was a little scary But learned since that once you step on the field you just play you beat another player and the crowd roars just icing on the cake You live for that feeling and why you Covone

for the Deacons He has scored nine goals and set up 15 and his 33 career points rank ninth on all time list playing time since high school been limited to the collegiate season however He was the captain of the US Under 20 saw how the votes were beginning to turn out with Wake the odd team out and he brought in eaganes and the national selection committee to resolve the issue Penley said: felt very strongly that team had a better record than the other two teams and I was going to fight for them Luckily the national committee felt the same Criteria for selection was sup posed to be based on six factors: head to head competition team CAR crew chief watched the rest of the incident unfold from pit road other cars were about stopped and then that red car (McEachern) just came in there wide he said red car driving past the end of his nose But seen that before from more experi enced drivers Bobby Hudson another veteran NASCAR crew chief also saw the accident guy (McEachern) just came down through the mess and cleaned out And then they were all flying in the air the sad part of this game McEachern 29 suffered multiple lacerations and abrasions on his face He underwent surgery on his
