Tyrone Daily Herald, Thursday, December 12,1985 Page Seven Tyrone Matmen Open This Weekend At Brooke (West. Va.) Tournament Pitt Will Nome Gottfried By LEN SLOTHER Herald Sports Editor Bolstered by a battle-tested crop of nine returning lettermen including a 'pair of defending District 6-AA champions in Mike Woodring (185) and Leroy Haupt (145) and three others who posted winning records in Adam Campbell (112), Lance Miller (132) and Kerry Cowher (hwt), Tyrone Area High begins another gruelling mat schedule with a very testy opening assignment this weekend. Featuring a probable lineup with underclassmen filling two-thirds of the spots, head coach Tony Yaniello and assistant coach Larry Strong take the Golden Eagles into West Virginia for the annual Brooke Wrestling Classic at Wellsburg High School. They'll be one of 16 teams from three states in the field. Also scheduled to appear when action rolls Friday evening at 5 p.m.

are three other Pennsylvania representatives in defending team champion Canon- McMillan, Fort Cherry and West Allegheny; host Brooke High School, Oak Glen, Wheeling Park, Parkersburg, John Marshall, Magnolia and Fairmont from West Virginia; and Bellaire, Jefferson-Union, Martin's Ferry, East Liverpool and Wintersville out of neighboring Ohio. Tyrone finished a strong second with seven place-winners last year and used that performance as a springboard to another outstanding season 15-2 in dual meets, a Dist. 6- AA team championship and a ranking among the top double-A teams in the state. Returning lettermen around whom Yaniello will build his 7th Golden Eagle contingent include Dist. 6-AA titlists Haupt (22-9-1) and Woodring (27-5-1 with 52 career wins in 69 bouts), Campbell (18-5), Miller (1613-1 last year and 26-25-1 the past two), Cowher (12-6), Chris Dutrow (67), 119; Chris Fink (4-9), 126; Harvey TJHS Courtmen Notch 2nd Win Over Bearcats The Tyrone Jr.

High School basketball tleam handled Huntingdon for the second time in five days to rack up their second win in as many starts Tuesday afternoon, coasting to a 43-26 triumph, canning ll-of-15 free throws with 16 field goals enroute. Coach Brian Fleming's Baby Eagles travel again today, visiting Williamsburgat4 p.m. Shawn Ross fired in 15 points (including 5-for-5 at the lines) and pulled 10 rebounds to provide much of the spark. Beau Klein added nine points, seven rebounds and five steals, Jim Cannistraci chipped in with eight points and 10 rebounds and Craig Hunter hit eight points. Norris (1-12-1), 155; and Pat O'Brien (4-9), 167.

The other tourney berths will be filled by freshman Scott Walk, 98; senior Scott Maurer, 105; and either junior A.J. Johnson or senior Bob Nail, 138, Yaniello said. "I'm anxious to get started, and I think the kids are, offered Yaniello, who owns a 59-23 dual meet record in six seasons. "It's really tough to pul a lot of emphasis on this tournament with only two weeks of practice, but it's a real good opener for us," he said. We'll be going in with a pretty young team and consequently one of our biggest worries will be our seeding, since we have a lot of new kids in the lineup and probably won't get very good seeds.

That just means they're going to have to prove themselves down there. "The kids are coming. They're working awfully hard and have looked fairly well in our preseason scrimmages," Yaniello observed. "Overall, these kids have to mature. You look down through our lineup and you see a lot of experience.

Some of those kids took their lumps last year, but most of the kids in our lineup have been there before. I think we'll hold our own again. How well depends on steady improvement. including improvement from the lettermen who were outstanding last year. We'll have a nice 1-2 punch at the end (Woodring and Cowher), too," he smiled.

"Dual meet-wise we should have one of the strongest teams through the middle that we've had in quite a while. I see a lot of improvement now in some of the kids who took their lumps gaining experience last year. "I feel our schedule is every bit as tough, maybe tougher because of the improvement of some of the teams have made and the 'perennials' like B.E.A., Clearfield, P-0 and State, than last year. We open the duals with probably the best team in the area Clearfield and I really don't see any weak spots from there out. I don't think you can get too much tougher a schedule than we have.

"Time will tell but we're anxious to get it on," Yaniello added. Semifinals are scheduled Saturday morning at 9 o'clock, with consolation rounds to follow. Final consolations start at 6 p.m. and the finals at 7 p.m. at the Brooke Classic.

State's Con Ian 2nd-Team: Bo Jackson, Sooner Casillas Head 60th UP I All-America Team By JOEL SHERMAN UPI Sports Writer NEW YORK (UPI) Following the path of Bo Jackson, Michigan State's Lorenzo White and Thurman Thomas of Oklahoma were named to the UPI All-America football team as sophomores. Jackson, the Heisman Trophy winning running back from Auburn, and Lombardi Award winner Tony Casillas of Oklahoma headed the 60th UPI All-America team that was announced Wednesday.

The team, which is voted on by sports writers and brodcasters around the country, consisted of 18 seniors, two juniors and four sophomores. The two most dynamic sophomores were White, the nation's leading rusher, and Thomas. Jackson made the UPI team in 1983 as a sophomore, but failed to last year when he missed six games with a separated shoulder. Jackson bounced back to gain 1,786 yards with a 6.4-yard a carry average. White rushed for 1,908 yards while Thomas gained 1,551 yards.

Jackson and White scored 17 touchdowns each and Thomas had 15. Joining that trio in the backfield was Chuck Long, whose second-place finish to Jackson was the closest in the 51-year history of the Heisman balloting. Long came back with a fifth year of eligibility to lead Iowa to the Rose Bowl by completing 231-of- 351 passes- for a Big ten record 26 touchdowns. Illinois' David Williams, who finished second all-time in NCAA receptions with 245, and Tim McGee of Tennessee are the ends. Williams, who caught 85 passes this season for 1,047 yards, joins Iowa linebacker Larry Station as the only repeaters from last year's team.

Southern Cal junior guard Jeff Bregel was the lone underclassman on the offensive line. Joining Bregel at guard was Maryland's J.D. Maaraveld. The tackles were Brian Jozwiak of West Virginia and Jim Dombrowski of Virginia. John Lee of UCLA, who set the NCAA career mark for field goals, was the kicker.

The three runnersup to Casillas for the Lombardi Award join him on the defensive line. They are: Mike Hammerstein of Michigan, Leslie O'Neal of Oklahoma State and Mike Ruth of Boston College. Tim Green of Syracuse rounds out the front five. Sophomore Brian Bosworth, who with Casillas launched Oklahoma to No. 1 defense in the nation, joins Station and Pepper Johnson of Ohio State as the linebackers.

Brad Cochran of Michigan and two Pacific-10 performers, Allen Durden of Arizona and David Fulcher of Arizona State, make up the secondary. Barry Helton of Colorado, who averaged 46 yards a kick, was the punter. Miami (Fla.) quarterback Vinny Testaverde, fifth in the Heisman voting, was in the second team offensive backield with running backs Doug DuBose of Nebraska, Reggie Dupard of Southern Methodist and Paul Palmer of Temple. The second-team ends were Kansas' Richard Estell and Mark Bellini of Brigham Young. The Southwest Conference dominates the second team's interior line with Doug Williams of Texas and Baylor's Mark Cochran at tackle and Texas' Gene Chilton at center.

Jamie Dukes of Florida State and Jeff Zimmerman of Florida were the second-team guards. Carlos Reveiz of Tennessee was the kicker. The second-team defensive front consisted of Alonzo Johnson of Florida, Pat Swilling of Georgia Tech, Kevin Murphy of Oklahoma, Jim Skow of Nebraska and Cornelius Bennett of Alabama. Mike Mallory of Michigan, Penn State's Shane Conlan and Johnny Holland of Texas were the second-team linebackers, with Scott Thomas of Air Force, Michigan State's Phil Parker and Mark Moore of Oklahoma State in the secondary. Auburn's Lewis Colbert was the punter.

Sources close to the negotiations told UPI that Gottfried, most recently the head coach at the University of Kansas, will be given a five-year contract by Pitt. Gottfried coached Kansas for three seasons with records of 4-6-1 in 1983, 5-6 in 1984 and 6-6 in 1985. He engineered two major upsets during his tenure at the Big Eight school, winning UPI Coach of the Week honors for a 26-20 victory at Southern Cal in 1983 and a 28-11 triumph over previously-unbeaten Oklahoma in 1984.

Gottfried, 40, also had served as the head coach at Murray State for three seasons from 1978-80, posting a 22-11-1 record, and at the University of Cincinnati from 1981-82, posting a 1210 mark, prior to his move to Kansas. A former All-Ohio Valley quarterback at Morehead State, Gottfried is a pass-minded coach. Twice in his three years at Kansas his quarterback broke the Big Eight singleseason passing record Frank Seurer in 1983 and Mike Norseth in 1985. Norseth, in fact, finished just five yards short of becoming the first passer in Big Eight history to throw for 3.000 yards in one season. Kansas set 28 individual and team offensive records during Gottfried's brief three-year stay.

Gottfried's 6-6 record at Kansas last season included five losses to bowl teams: Oklahoma (Orange), Nebraska (Fiesta), Florida State (Gator), Oklahoma State (Gator) and Colorado (Freedom). Gottfried, a native of Crestline, Ohio, was one of two Big Eight coaches interviewed for the Pitt job, which opened up when Foge Fazio was fired Nov. 25 following a 5-5-1 finish this season. Pitt also interviewed Pat Jones of Oklahoma State, but Jones turned down the job. Gottfried was in Bozik's office Wednesday when Jones made his announcement in Stillwater, Okla.

Gottfried was first interviewed by Pitt last week. He returned for his second interview Tuesday night.

Maryland Spoils West Virginia Upset Plan, 42-41 By GERRY MONIGAN UPI Sports Writer West Virginia planned to keep the pace slow, and it crawled. The Mountaineers planned to keep the score low, and not West Virginia player scored in double figures. Gale Catlett and Co.

also planned to beat Maryland. Two out of three just wasn't what they had in mind. Darrell Pinckney fouled Derrick Lewis with 16 seconds left Wednesday night, and Lewis' 2 free throws lifted Maryland to a 42-41 victory over West Virgina. "That was the plan," said WVU assistant coach Ron Brown. "Keep the scoring down and keep the game close." West Virginia climbed back from a 4-point deficit midway through the second half to take a 1-point lead before Lewis sank both ends of a 1- and-1.

A desperation, 16-foot jumper by Blaney with 3 seconds left bounced off the rim. "Anytime you win on the road, it's important, especially when the win comes in West Virginia," said Maryland coach Charles Driesell. Neither team had more than a point lead, and neither shot well. The Terrapins hit 31.9 percent to West Virginia's 41.3 percent. Maryland hit l2-of-16 at the foul line, and the Mountaineers shot 3-for-8.

Len Bias scored 16 points to lead the Terrapins, 5-2. John Johnson added 9 and Keith Gatlin added 8. West Virginia, 3-4, was led by Renardo Brown with 9 points. Darryl Prue and Dale Blaney added 8 each. In other games, No.

7 Georgetown ripped New Mexico 76-51, and No. 13 St. John's whipped Marist 62-48. At Landover, David Wingate scored 21 points and Reggie Williams added 14 to power No. 7 Georgetown past New Mexico.

The Hoyas scored 10 straight points during a three minute stretch in the second half to pull away from the Lobos. Lions' Hamilton Named to 1985 Academic All-America NEW YORK (UPI) Defensive back Lance Hamilton of the No. 1 Penn State Nittany Lions and defensive tackle Tim Green of Syracuse headed the 1985 Academic All-America football team named Wednesday by the College Sports Information Directors of America. To be eligible for the team a player must be a starter or key reserve and carry a minimum cumulative grade point average of 3.2 on a 4.0 scale. Within these guidelines 19 seniors, three juniors and two sophomores were named to the team.

The offensive team combined for a 3.53 grade point average while the defensive unit had a 3.68 average. Fifteen of the 24 players on the team had an overall average of 3.5 or better and nine of the players are participating in bowl games. Hamilton helped Penn State to an 11-0 record by contributing 49 tackles and a pair of interceptions while compiling a 3.83 average in pre-law. Green was in on 86 stops and 13 quarterback traps. Green was joined in the defensive line by Matt Koart of USC, Greg Dingens of Notre Dame and Dave Van Metre of Cornell.

At linebacker were Larry Station of Iowa, Shawn O'Malley of Northeastern and Matt Soderlund of Stanford. In the secondary, along with Hamilton, were Dean Altobelli of Michigan State, Kip Corrington of Texas and Brad Hokin of Boston University. Kevin Anthony of North Carolina was selected as quarterback with Brian Jager of Furman and Jeff McKinney of Western Illinois at running backs. The wide receivers were Michael Lanese of Ohio State and Tom. Stenglein of Colgate while Ron Duncan of Ball State was named as tight end.

The offensive line was made up of center Ken Pietrowiak of Kentucky, guards Mark Fatkin of Western Kentucky and Mike Hartmeier of UCLA and tackles Kevin Reilly of Holy Cross and Clay Miller of Michigan. Nuggets Bury Clippers In Record Romp, 134-95 By KEVIN KENNEY UPI Sports Writer The Denver Nuggets came off two days of much-needed Wednesday night to stomp the Los Angeles Clippers 134-95 and set a team record for winning margin. Now they're hoping they have something left for the LA Lakers, who visit Denver Friday night. "The rest was the biggest factor," said Wayne Cooper, who blocked a team-record 9 shots and scored 22 points in Denver's 39-point rout. "We had a chance to practice and correct a few things in our game.

This was the first time we've had two days off all season." Alex English scored a game-high 24 points as the 15-8 Nuggets pulled within one game of Midwest Division leader Houston. The Clippers fell to 8-15. Denver coach Doug Moe was naturally pleased with the victory, but stressed the 18-2 Lakers, with the best record in the NBA, won't be such a pushover and that the Nuggets will have to watch out. "We have to keep things in perspective," Moe said. "It won't be the same way against the Lakers.

But we needed a good performance coming off a tough road trip." The Muggets broke away from a 1513 lead at 5:31 of the first quarter on the strength of Lafayette Lever's eight first-quarter assists, and led 3117. Lever added three more assists in the second period to set a Denver record for assists in a half with 11. English had 18 first-half points as the Nuggets built a 68-38 lead. Denver stretched its lead to 45 points in the third period. The Nuggets, who had eight players in double figures, took a 108-64 lead into the final period.

Lever said the Nuggets corrected their tendency to "let up when we took a big lead." "We needed to maintain our intensity to carry over to the Lakers," he said. Franklin Edwards was high scorer for the Clippers with 15. In other games Wednesday night, Boston downed Sacramento 118-101, Philadelphia beat Cleveland 125-110, Atlanta topped Seattle 105-97, Washington defeated Detroit 108-100, Indiana toppled San Antonio 114-101. Utah beat Portland 119-111 and Phoenix downed Golden State 123113. Celtics 118, Kings 101 At Boston, Larry Bird scored 24 points, including two three-point shots in the second quarter, to lead the Celtics.

Bird was one of six Celtics who scored in double figures, and led a second-quarter Celtics outburst that turned the game into a rout. Carl Henry led the Kings with 18 points. Sixers 125, Cavaliers 110 At Philadelphia, Moses Malone scored 34 points and Julius Erving added 23 to power the Sixers. Erving scored six straight points and 8-of-10 when Philadelphia broke the game open in the third quarter. Hawks 105, SuperSonics 97 At Atlanta, Dominique Wilkins scored 31 points and pulled down 13 rebounds to lead the Hawks.

Atlanta took a 4-2 lead early in the first quarter and never trailed from that point, leading 54-49 at the half and building 20-point lead late in the game. Bullets 108, Pistons 100 At Pontiac, Frank Johnson scored nine of his season-high 27 points in the last four minutes to lift the Bullets. The triumph was Washington's eighth in its last 11 games and snapped a string of seven road losses. Pacers 114, Spurs 101 At Indianapolis, rookie Wayman Tisdale scored 28 points and grabbed 10 rebounds to spark the Pacers. Tisdale, Vern Fleming and Steve Stipanovich caught fire in the first quarter and Indiana roared to a 65-52 halftime lead.

Stipanovich and Fleming each had 15 points. Johnny Moore had 30 for the Spurs. Jazz 119, Trail Blazers 111 At Salt Lake City, Adrian Dantley scored 36 points and Karl Malone added 20 to power the Jazz. Utah improved to 1411, while Portland fell to 14-12. The Blazers had seven players in double figures and were led by Clyde Drexler's 19 points and Kiki Vandeweghe's 16.

Suns, 123, Warriors 113 At Oakland, Walter Davis tied career-high by scoring 43 points to help the Suns to their first road victory. Davis hit l7-of-27 shots from the field and scored 11 of the Suns' final 15 points. Larry Nance backed Davis with 21 points. Purvis Short had 26 and Joe Barry Carroll 25 points for the Warriors..
