shooed the media out for that.
The Wildcat players, who won the

said they were impressed — not just by
Clemens’ talent but his work ethic.

year of such a plan, followed
by close to half a million in
every subsequent year on fuel

One of the things that wasn’t supposed
to happen was that Albright wasn’t sup-
posed to be able to pitch again. But he
wasn’t going to let that happen.
“After they removed the rib, the doc-
tors told me that I’d never be able to
throw again, so it’s kinda like a miracle”
Albright said. “I just pushed myself as
much as I could and I was able to throw.”
Albright made his debut April 17
against Prairie View A&M. He got the
start and lasted an inning in the game

Johnson get his 900th career win.

So the board commissioned

under which the number of

was Option X — the board

That started an 11-week ordeal, which
also saw Albright in another life-threaten-

Fischer agrees, but he
believes the district must
avoid the trap of simply
rezoning the schools and for-
getting about the problems
caused by high numbers of
ED students at Lee and across
the district.

rezoning process is becoming
more and more focused,”
Fischer said. “And that’s a
good thing. But I think still
the remaining issue is the

with his family when he isn’t scheduled
to pitch.
As for choosing the Yankees, Clemens
said he never meant to offend his other
suitors, the Astros and the Boston Red
Sox.
“Every decision you make might not
make somebody else happy,” he said. “I
wish there were three of me. I really do.

LEXINGTON, Ky. (AP) — New desti-
nation, same origin for the Rocket’s
return to the majors.
Two days after agreeing to a prorated
$28 million contract with the pitching-
starved New York Yankees, Roger
Clemens wore pinstriped pants and a
Yankees cap while throwing from a
mound at the University of Kentucky.
“The arm feels good,” Clemens said
after the workout. “Right now I’ve just

dents at Lee, making it a
Class 4A school for
University Interscholastic
League purposes, would be
beneficial to the district if
indeed the board decided not
to balance demographics.
“If we had three 5A
schools, it would probably be
better to balance the demo-
graphics,” Loredo said. “If
there’s an ED imbalance, Lee
should have fewer students.
Academically it’s the best-
case scenario. For kids that
come from low (socioeconom-
ic status) homes, the smaller
the better.”
But as a member of another organiza-

head cold, James didn't seem to be trou-
bled by anything. With his scoring high
for this postseason, he has now scored at
_ two games in the semifinals. But with
James around, anything could be possible
for these Cavs, who have never advanced
to the NBA finals.
"He made the plays to get us over the
h imp," Brown said. "He was the man."
The Nets had hoped to slip out of town
with at . least one win, and although they
shot well enough (53 percent) to get it,
they were outrebounded 49-32 and took
the Eastern Conference semifinals.
James added 12 assists and Sasha
Pavlovic scored a career playoff-high 17 opportunities down the stretch and now

head to New Jersey for Saturday's Game
3 with a commanding lead in the best-of-
seven series.
"We took care of home," James said.
"Now it's a challenge to go into the
Meadowlands. We don't just want to win
one."
This is unfamiliar territory for
Cleveland, which has never been up by
least 20 points in all 19 career playoff
games, the second-longest streak to begin
a career in NBA history. Kareem Abdul-
Jabbar did it in his first 27 postseason
games.
"It was a tug-of-war match for the first
three quarters," James said. "My team-
mates needed me to make plays and I

for-26 and missed two key shots in the
final two minutes when New Jersey was
still close.
Richard Jefferson scored 22 and Jason
Kidd had 17 points, 10 rebounds, eight
assists and eight turnovers for the Nets,
who managed just three offensive
92 on Tuesday night to open a 2-0 lead in rebounds.
"We were in it, but we just didn't exe-
cute at the end," Jefferson said. "We had
it's on our home court. We have to figure
out a way ... have to."
The Cavaliers improved to 6-0 in these
playoffs and have now won 10 straight
overall since their last loss on April 8. In
last year's semifinals, the Cavs dropped
the first two games on the road at
Detroit. They were humbling losses,
blowouts by the Pistons that showed the
Cavs the importance of home-court
advantage.
This time around, on their own floor,
the Cavaliers were a different team.
"We believe in each other and no mat-
ter what type of ballgame it's going to be,
we believe we can win," James said.
Although he said he was still battling a long jumper but was able to run down his
rebound, yet another missed chance for
the Nets.
"That's what they do," Jefferson said.
And when James needed help scoring,
rebounding and playing defense, his
teammates were there for him.
James' basket with 5:41 left put the
Cavs ahead 89-85, and on Cleveland's
next trip, he whipped a pass in the lane to
a cutting Drew Gooden, whose two-hand-
ed slam put the Cavaliers up by six.
Gooden finished with 10 points and 14
rebounds.
Carter, begging for the ball every time
the Nets had it, was able to get the Nets
within 93-89 on a bucket with 2:40 left.
The Nets had a chance to cut it further,
but Carter missed a tough fadeaway on
the baseline and fell to the floor with a
bad cramp as the Cavs pushed the ball up
the floor.
"I'm going to keep shooting and keep
playing," Carter said. "I'm not going to
hold my head because I'm not making
shots. It can turn around in a matter of
seconds."
Carter missed again with 1:43 left, and
this time James made the Nets pay with a
15-footer to make it 96-89 with 1:19 left.
With 54 seconds left, Pavlovic missed a
