Ranger girls pound
Pasadena 70-47, go
13-0 in league play
By ED CAMPBELL
The Ross S. Sterling Rangers
are one step closer to perfection.
Perfection, in the eyes of the
RSS girl cagers; is a 14-0 record
in District 23-5A. They’re one
game away after a quick, clean
70-47 bombardment of the
Pasadena Eagles at the Sterling
gym Monday night.
The Rangers are near perfec-
tion for the season as well, with
only one loss in 25 outings. The
district champions have won 22
straight games, and they
haven’t lost since Nov: 30v
Against the Eagles, the
, Rangers won just as they’ve “won
" so many of their 24 games, with
a quick opening burst of gunfire.
The hosts led only 17-11 at the
end of one quarter, a narrow
margin considering recent Sterl-
ing blowouts. But five regulars
combined to outscore Pasadena
19-8 in the second quarter, and
sent the Eagles reeling to their
10th loss in 13 decisions.
The Rangers actually started
the second quarter slowly before
their late barrage. With five
Ranger lead to 28-17. An Aman-
da Buffalo shot hit nothing but
air at the Pasadena end, and the
Rangers were off to the races.
Jody Manier rebounded the
shot and Sterling raced down
court. Singleton misfired from
the baseline, but Manier was
there again to grab the offensive
carom. Her layup made the tally.
30-17.
Manier followed by grabbing
the Pasadena inbound pass and
taking it in for yet another Sterl-
ing bucket. After that, the
Eagles did manage to get.the
ball down court. But Tina Bond
stole, the ball from Deana Garza
and went coast-to-coast for a
layup that made the score 34-17.
•In frustration, the Eagles, foul-
ed Singleton with just 10 seconds
left fn the half. The junior sank
both shots and the Ranger bulge
went to 19 points.
A late Leanne Borup layup
gave the Eagles 19 points going
into the half, but the Sterling
surge was just too much. The
Eagles never challenged again.
In just more than one minute
of play, the Rangers hat^

Then, at the 2:13 mark, it

The fact that Lee College
defeated Temple Junior College
96-82 Monday night made Mike
Hefley happy. But the fact that
Bobby Jones scored 23 points
and pulled down nine rebounds
widenend the smile.
Jones, who has been mired in a
slump since injuring an ankle
against Alvin Community Col-
lege five games ago, broke out of
it at a time when the Rebels need
him most. With LC in the midst
of a power struggle in the Region
XIV South Zone independent
ranks, a ■ revitalized Bobby
“Boogie” Jones could be just
what the doctor ordered. - -—-
“It looks like he’s coming out
of it,” said Hefley, following
Jpnes’ all-around performance
at LC gymnasium. “He’ll have
to be playing well from here on
out if were going to win many
games.”
Jones did to Temple what he’s
always done best — work his of-
fensive magic near the basket. A
variety of twisting and turning
moves helped him to 14 points in
second half, allowing the

play.
The reason for the sudden tur-
naround in Jones’ fortunes?
“My first game back, I was
worried about reinjuring it,”
said Jones, who missed LC’s
game with St. Philip’s before
returning against Blinn College.
“I guess I was playing more
timid than usual. Now that jit’s

Deer Park knocks off REL girls,

despite Ford’s 23 points. 14 boards
DEER PARK - With a bi-
district playoff berth secured,
the Robert E. Lee girls basket-
ball team dropped a 60-50
Ufstrict 23-5A decision to the
host Deer Park Deer Monday
night.
The loss left the Lady Ganders
.with a 9-4 record in district ac-
tion and an overall mark of 21-9.
Deer Park moved to 5-8 in league
play.
While Coach Gloria Pruitt’s
girls outrebounded the Deer 382
24 overall, they didn’t get them
i when they needed help the most.
“We missed several crucial;
rebounds in the fourth quarter,
when the score was tied 42-42,”
Pruitt said. ‘‘They had six offen-
sive rebounds to our three defen-
sive rebounds.”
Also led by 40-percent shooting
from the field, Deer Park gained
the victory in its next to last
game of the 1984-85 season.
Michelle Johnson paced the
Deer with 13 points, and Karen
Gorton’s 12 represented the only
other Deer Park player to reach
double figures.
The Deer took advantage of 29 ,
trips to the free-throw line,
where thpy made 22 shots. Lee
made 10 of 20 attempts from the
line.
-1 Regina Ford was the heart and
soul of the Lady Ganderf, scor-
ing 23 points and hauling in 14 re-
bounds. She connected on 9-of-21
field-goal attempts and 5-of-7
free-throw opportunities.
Nicole Vaughn, with* eight
points, was the next highest
scorer. Michelle Richards (six
points, five reSounds) and Mae
Branch (six points, ,six re-
bounds) also coatributed to the
cause. _1...........
Lee made 20 of its 60 shots
from the floor for a 33-percent
accuracy. Deer Park hit 19 of 48
for 40 percent.
The fact that the Lady
Ganders committed 23 turnovers
didn’t help their situation.

Lee will play its final regular-

day against Pasadena at Phillips '
Field House.
Lee’s” junior varsity saw its
district record drop to 5-8 with
its 45-42 loss to Deer Park.
“The girls played some good
even ball,” Coach Robin Payne
said, “but lost out at the free-

The Ganders went 2-of-7 at the
line, while the Deer made 5-OJ-9

moving their district record to

The Lady Ganders got into foul
trouble in the second half, which
enabled Deer Park to capitalize
at the free-throw line.
“We fouled too much during
the second half and let them
score 1.0 of their 11 free, throw
joints,” Payne said.
■‘‘Krista Bosse picked up her
fourth foul early 5 in the third
quarter and spent most of the se-
cond half on the bench; Nelda
Navar came off the bench and
did a good job at post.”
Navar had four rebounds and
six points, while Bosse had 14
points and five rebounds. Ally
Mendoza was the top rebounder
with 10. She also scored six
points.
Brittany Krejci missed the
game due to illness.
Lee’s season record moved to
17-5.

It was so cold in Brownsville
last weekend...
How cold was it?
Well, Lee College baseball
coach Dick Smith wasn’t about
to blame the freezing
temperatures and gusty wihds
for his team dropping two of
three, games to Texas Southmost
College on Friday and Saturday .
But the conditions certainly
weren’t what he had in mind for
the Rebels’ 1985 season-opening
series.
A scheduled double-header
Sunday was canceled due to
rain. And if LC hadn’t traveled
so far to play in the first place,
the other games may have been
called off as well.
“It was terrible,’’ said Smith,
who received a rather cold in-
troduction to Texas junior col-
lege baseball. “Maybe it
wouldn’t have been quite as bad
if the wiiid hadn’t been blowing
so hard.” ~ .
Keeping one’s concentration
couldn’t have been easy, what
with natural instincts for wan-
ting tp stay warm taking over.
But the host Scorpions managed
to beat the weather and the
Rebels.
Following its 16-9 victory on
Friday, Texas Southmost rallied
for five runs in the sixth inning to
capture a 7-6 triumph in the first
game of a twin-bill on Saturday.
The Rebels gained their initial
victory of the season in the
nightcap, scoring fiVe runs in the
opening inning on their way to a
8-3 win.
While Smith was happy to at
least come away with ^ae-vie-
tory, the manner in which the
Rebels dropped the first game
Saturday was still bothering him
Monday. *
The Rebels took what ap-
peared to be a comfortable 6-2
lead into the bottom of the sixth
inning, but- the Scorpions had
charged ahead 7-6. three outs
later. * ' - - *. '
The key blow in the uprising;
was a grand-slam home run by
third baseman Sammy Her-
nandez. That tied the score, and

another run off sophomore Jody
Supak to take the lehd. S
„ LC was blanked in the seventh,
thus falling to 0-2.

Flutie ‘covered’ in USFL contract
