8 Sports The Home for the playoffs By Larque Richter Staff reporter What Wind River lacks in size, they make up for in speed, according to Tongue River head coach P.J. Marshall. The Eagles play Wind River in both team’s Class 1A Division I playoff opener in Dayton Friday at 1 p.m. “Offensively, they like to spread it out and run wide,” said Eagle’s defensive coordinator Mel Reeves. “They’re a short team, very quick.” The Cougars 5-10, 150-pound junior tailback Branden Inman and 5-10, 160-pound junior quarterback Joe Theilen pose the biggest threat to the Eagles, said Marshall. “Their quarterback throws the football pretty well, so our secondary — corners and safeties — have to have their heads up,” Marshall said. “Donnie Horn, Ian Oswald, Shaun and Chris Gardiner are going to have to be awake. They like to throw to the tailback. I don’t think the passing game is what’s going to hurt us. Geoffrey Scott and Bryant Lofgren will have to do a good job containing Wind River’s tailback.” Marshall foresees Tongue River shutting down Wind River’s rushing inside. The Cougars run out of a spread offense and are a strong option team. “If we can contain them, can wear on them, if they make our big guys run to the outside every time, it’ll wear us down,” Reeves said. “Our defensive ends have got to do their job.” Defensively, the Eagles are up to the challenge, Marshall said. By Patrick J. Murphy Sports Editor Friday’s quarterfinal playoff game between Sheridan and Evanston falls in familiar territory for both programs. Sheridan traveled to Evanston for the 1997 state championship game, a contest where a late rally by the Broncs fell short in a 25-20 loss, and the Broncs beat Evanston in last year’s playoff opener 48- 28. So what’s new for coach Bert Dow and this year’s Broncs? “What I like is we know something about them. It is not like we are going against somebody we haven’t seen,” Dow said. “I think the advantage goes to us in that situation.” Evanston is the No. 2 seed from the South Conference and is 6-1 overall. The Broncs are the No. 3 seed from the North Conference and are 4-3 overall. What’s familiar, and not necessarily welcome for Evanston head coach Doug Rigby, is Jeff Martini as the Broncs’ quarterback. Martini was the starting quarterback in the two previous meetings in Evanston. He played the entire second half of the state championship game with a broken left thumb. Last year, Martini ran for three touchdowns and threw for one, and was instrumental in the Broncs’ late comeback that fell short in the state title game. “What he did as a sophomore, and last year, Jeff Martini should be the quarterback of the decade,” Rigby said. “It’s a great tribute to Jeff and the coaching staff to be put in this situation year in and year out.” It could be viewed the 450-mile road trip would not help the Broncs and would give the hometown Red Devils an advantage, but Rigby is skeptical. “Last year I thought that, but they came down here and put a whippin’ on us,” he said. Both teams come into the playoff game from opposite ends of the momentum spectrum — Sheridan off a 37-34 overtime homecoming victory over Cheyenne Central, and Evanston off an 18-13 loss in the South Conference championship game against Green River. “It was a typical conference championship game,” Rigby said. “We had a hard time moving the ball and Green River did Donnie Horn Deja Vu Broncs travel to Evanston for third playoff game in as many seasons a great job offensively putting us in bad situations. It was a game that came down to the wire. We had the ball with four minutes left and threw an interception at 15 yard line.” The winner of Friday’s playoff game moves on to face the winner of the Natrona-Rock Springs game. The loser is done for the season. “It’s a huge game for us,” Rigby said. “It is hard for our kids to get motivated. We had a perfect season going into Green River. The kids are fairly disappointed after the loss, but everybody is zero, zero. It is a game everybody has to win.” For the Broncs, heading back to Evanston for the playoffs is “an advantage in preparation and our kids know what it is like there,” Dow said. “Actually, we’ve played quite well there. It is a long road trip, but the kids on this team have been there.” A further advantage for the Broncs is Evanston runs a similar offense to Sheridan’s with the option game, but the Red Devils lost their starting quarterback earlier this year. “You look at them, the type of offense they run is similar to ours. I think they have been hurt by injuries. I think the Wess Doke ON THE RUN — Sheridan Bronc fullback Buck Meyer stays out of reach of Cheyenne Central defenders in the Broncs homecoming game. Seth Hiller In seven games and two playoff halves, Tongue River has held opponents to less than 1,000 total yards of offense while rushing for 2,300 yards. “Defensively, our kids have played very good football all year long. We know they’ll be up to the task,” Marshall said. “We’ll utilize our skill people and our big line.” D.J. Dearcorn leads in tackles, followed by defensive end Geoffrey Scott, middle linebacker Joe White, defensive back Shaun Gardiner and linebacker Seth Hiller. The Eagles plan to run the ball on offense. “We have three great running backs, hard-nosed running backs in DJ Dearcorn, Wess Doke and Seth Hiller,” he said. The Sheridan Press/Roger Ames QUARTERBACK Jeff Martini will lead the Broncs against Evanston for the third time. teams we’ve played all year have prepared us for a game like this,” Dow said. “Sheridan is a tough team to get ready for because they do some many thing offensively — probably the most balanced offense we’ve seen.” Rigby noted. Evanston fullback David Bennett (5-10, 210. Sr.) ran for a touchdown against Green River, and tailback Nate Lonsway (5-9, 160, Sr.) ran for five scores against Rock Springs in week five. With the performance against Rock Springs, “He got himself recognized, so he probably is our kid right now,” Rigby said. Tight end Kelly Poppinga (6-2, 215, Sr.) is the main target in Evanston’s passing game. While Dow said Evanston is a good team, the upbeat tone of practice this week at SHS Stadium has led to confidence throughout the coaching staff, and more importantly the team following its OT victory over Cheyenne Central. “That is a big win and not The Sheridan Press/Roger Ames just in the way it ended up,” Dow said. “I think it was good for the kids who watched it. If you look back on it, it was the type of game you would have liked to have earlier in the season, say against Great Falls, and it would have set the tone for the rest of the season. At the end of the game, where time was an obvious factor, the kids could have given up. As coaches, there were things we haven’t seen all year. The kids are confident and I think that is a big boost going into this part of the season.” The Broncs left today at 1 p.m. and were scheduled to practice at Rawlins High School tonight. The team will stay in Rawlins, then leave for Evanston Friday morning. The team is scheduled to drive back to Sheridan after the game. Rams travel to Riverside ATLANTA By Larque Richter Staff reporter The Big Horn Rams will face a challenge Friday night when they face the undefeated Riverside Rebels in Basin. Kick-off for the Class 1A Division II playoff game is 7 p.m. “They’re big and physical,” said Ram’s head coach Rick Scherry. “Their specialty is just running the football right at you and making you try to stop it. We’re going to have to play good enough defense to slow them down, make them put long drives together... create some turnovers.” The Rebels are not as aggressive on defense, which should help Big Horn’s passing game, he said. The Rams cannot be plagued with turnovers and dropped passes, however, to be successful. They play a 4-4 defense with big players up front, Scherry said. “We hope to be able to get outside on them and throw the ball,” he said. The Rams have not made playoffs since 1994, so getting in was a goal accomplished, Scherry said. “But hopefully, the kids aren’t satisfied with just being in the playoffs,” he said. A victory would advance the Rams to the Oct. 30 playoff game in Cokeville or Lingle-Ft. Laramie. “We’re assuming Cokeville will beat Lingle-Ft. Laramie, so we’ll be going to Cokeville next Saturday,” he said. Sheridan Press, Thursday, October 21, 1999 Eagles host Wind River Friday at 1 p.m. D.J. Dearcorn Dearcorn has rushed for nearly 1,000 yards and 17 touchdowns this season. Doke has tallied almost 800 yards and eight touchdowns. “Seth Hiller has been a very valuable fullback for us this year, getting the first down when we need it at the end of the game and he’s been a really good blocker for D.J. and Wess,” Marshall said. The offensive line is back to full strength with the return of Charlie Barney and Bryant Lofgren, who were injured in the Moorcroft game last Friday. “Our offensive line has done a great job for us this year — Joe White at center, Reo Barney at guard, Bryant Lofgren at tackle, Charlie Barney at tackle, Geoffrey Scott at tight end and Ian Oswald at end. And of course Donnie Horn, as a junior has done an outstanding job, not only at throwing the ball, but at handing off and executing our plays.” Doke has averaged 40 yards a game on punts and he ran back two punt returns for touchdowns. Dearcorn hasn’t missed a point after touchdown kick. “I just wanted to say we’ve played extremely hard football throughout the course of the year and our kids are excited to play to the best of their ability. We’re excited about hosting the first round of playoffs at Tongue River. And they’re determined to be successful,” Marshall concluded. If the Eagles win, they will play the winner of the Lusk-Shoshoni matchup at home Oct. 30.

Rose scheduled to be on field before Game 2 (AP) — Pete Rose, lifetime ban and all, is scheduled to be on the field Sunday before Game 2 of the World Series as part of baseball’s All-Century team. Fans voted for the century’s top 25 players, including nine outfielders, and Rose was consistently ninth in the voting, which ran from July 13-Sept. 19. His election was confirmed Wednesday by a baseball official familiar with the final vote totals, speaking on the condition he not be identified. Baseball commissioner Bud Selig decided in August that Rose could participate in the All-Century team if he was elected. Rose, however, was not invited to a luncheon before the All-Star game that honored the living members among the 100 on the ballot. Rose, then manager of the Cincinnati Reds, agreed on Aug. 23, 1989, to a lifetime ban from baseball following an investigation into his gambling, a deal announced the following day by commissioner A. Bartlett Giamatti. Baseball’s career hits leader applied for reinstatement in September 1997. While Selig hasn’t formally ruled on the application, he’s made clear numerous times that he has no intention of lifting the ban. The All-Century team, which includes five people overlooked by fans and added by a special panel, will be announced Saturday and honored the following day.
Scoreboard The Sheridan College rodeo team members among region leaders CHEYENNE —The Sheridan College Rodeo Team had a wild ride at the Laramie County Community College Rodeo this past weekend. Freshman Teka Brock qualified for the short round in the goat tying with a third place time of 7.7 seconds. Brock then dominated the short round with a 7.3 second run — 1.1 seconds faster than the second-place time earning her a first place in both the goat tying short round and average for the rodeo. Her finish moved her into first place in the Central Rocky Mountain Region standings. All-around hand Amy Callen had some hard Teka Brock luck, missing qualifying for breakaway roping and barrel racing by one place, and by just 0.02 seconds for barrel racing short round. Freshmen Joe Hampson and Pat Daly both qualified for the short round in the bareback riding competition. Hampson went into the short round in sixth place with a score of 66 points, while Daly qualified in a third-fourth place tie with Kelly Timberman of Casper College with a score of 73 points. Hampson finished third in the short go with a 71-point ride, and Daly finished fourth in both the short go and average. Hampson is in third place and Daly is fifth in the regional standings for that event. Heath Ford from Central Wyoming College won the bareback riding with a total of 150 points on two rides. Saddle bronc riders Dustin Thompson and Chet Johnson both qualified for the short round competition. Thompson qualified in tenth Aaron Adams Josh Hodge Pat Daly Joe Hampson place aboard a reride horse with a score of 64 points, while Johnson took second place in the long go with a score of 75 points. Both riders bucked off their short round horses, but because only two riders, Brandon Munn from LCCC, and Sandy Forbes of Casper College, rode their short round horses, Johnson finished third in the average on one head. Munn won with a total of 153 points on two rides. Team roper Josh Hodge qualified for the short round in ninth place with Tyler Smith of Casper College, with a time of 7.4 seconds on their first steer. A fast run of 6.00 in the short round secured Hodge and Smith a first place win in both the team roping short round and average. Hodge moved into second place in the Central Rocky Mountain Region standings, 2.5 points behind the current regional leader. Freshman all-around hand Aaron Adams qualified for the short round in bull riding in a tie for seventh-eighth place with Ray Thurston of LCCC with a score of 72 points aboard Burns Rodeo’s bull #210. Adams then topped Burns’ bull Mountain Man in the short round for a score of 74 points, which put him in a tie for fourth-fifth place in the go with Josh Johnson of Eastern Wyoming College. Jim Morgan from Central Wyoming College won the Bull Riding with a total score of 154 points on two rides. Adams hold points in both the bull riding and calf roping in the Central Rocky Mountain Region. Griese earns starting job for another week DENVER (AP) — Brian Griese on Wednesday regained the starting quarterback job that he never really lost in the first place. Confused? It’s understandable these days as the Denver Broncos continue to search for a stable successor to John Elway. Griese, promoted in the preseason, lost his job to Bubby Brister in the wake of Denver’s 0-4 start, but he has led the Broncos to consecutive wins after a muscle strain prevented Brister from accepting his promotion. Brister threw on the side Wednesday and remains questionable for Sunday’s game at New England. Griese’s solid performances have made Brister’s ailing rib muscle a moot point. ‘‘Brian would still be the quarterback,’’ coach Mike Shanahan said. ‘‘I like the way he played. I like the way he handled himself, and we played well around him.’’ Griese, in his second year out of Michigan, seems to have gained confidence in the past two weeks, remaining poised in the pocket and scrambling when things break down. He threw an interception inside the red zone Sunday but countered with two touchdown passes and another TD run. Griese also finished with 363 yards through the air. ‘‘I’ve come to learn that if you’re given the starting job and have an opportunity to play, you need to respect that because it’s not always going to be there and it’s dependent on your performance,’’ Griese said. ‘‘I’m going to do everything I can to continue to prove (Shanahan) right.’’ Rockies hire Bell DENVER (AP) — Despite a career winning percentage of .399 as a manager, Buddy Bell was the No. 1 choice of Colorado Rockies general manager Dan O’Dowd from Day One. On Wednesday, the Rockies made it official, introducing Bell as the third manager in the team’s seven-year history, succeeding Jim Leyland, who retired after this season. Under orders from the commissioner’s office to consider minority candidates, the Rockies had discussions with four minorities — Arizona coach Carlos Tosca, Cincinnati coach Ken Griffey, Florida minor league manager Lynn Jones and New York Yankees coach Willie Randolph. Colorado had a black manager, Don Baylor, the first six years of its existence. ‘‘I interviewed four minorities who were very impressive,’’ O’Dowd said, ‘‘but none of them impressed me as much as Buddy Bell. He is the perfect fit for this ballclub.’’ Bell, 48, who managed the Detroit Tigers from 1996-98, described himself as a player’s manager who will emphasize defense and team chemistry. Bell — who has worked for the Cincinnati Reds for the past year, most recently as director of player development — signed a three-year contract believed to be worth about $2.25 million. O’Dowd, named the Rockies general manager a month ago, said Bell ‘‘knows the game. He knows how it should be played, and he will demand that from every one of our players. He understands the importance of creating an atmosphere where every player has the potential to play to the best of his ability.’’ O’Dowd also promised to acquire talent ‘‘to give Buddy the chance to put the kind of product on the field to realize our mission: having a championship-contending ballclub each and every year.’’ Denied those assurances in Detroit, Bell guided the Tigers back to respectability but was fired late in his third season. He finished runnerup in the 1997 AL Manager of the Year balloting after leading the Tigers to a 79-83 record, a 26-game improvement over the previous year. But the Tigers cut their payroll for 1998, and Bell was fired on Sept. 1, 1998, after a 52-85 mark. ‘‘My run in Detroit was great as long as it lasted,’’ Bell said at a news conference. ‘‘I think it taught me I could manage. It also taught me about getting along with people in the organization, how important scouting and player development are, the business side of things. Everybody has to work together. When you’re a player, you don’t necessarily understand that.’’ Griese named conference offensive player of the week ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (AP) — Denver Broncos quarterback Brian Griese has been named the American Football Conference offensive player of the week, the NFL said Wednesday. During the week of Oct. 17, Griese completed 19 of 31 passes for 363 yards and two touchdowns for a 110.0 passer rating. He also ran for a TD in the Broncos’ 31-10 victory over the Green Bay Packers. With the score tied 3-3 at the half, Griese led Denver to touchdowns on four of six second-half drives before kneeling on the ball of the Green Bay 12 as time expired. In the second half, Griese completed six of nine passes for 211 yards and two touchdowns for 149.3 passer rating (158.3 is perfect). He closed the scoring with a two-yard touchdown run in the fourth quarter. By no means is Griese’s starting job permanent. Shanahan said he will continue to evaluate Brister’s health as well as Griese’s progression as a first-year starter. ‘‘Let’s take this thing week by week,’’ Shanahan said. ‘‘Hopefully he’ll keep on playing like he’s played. I’m going to have to make decisions in the best interest of the team, and it’s hard to say right now when you’re 2-4.’’ BOWLING Wednesday’s Games PETTIKOTE LEAGUE Team standings — Mossholders, 19-9; Community First, 18-10; Ace Radiator and Gunderson Plumbing, 17-11.
