East all-stars win lackluster
®y Brad Emorw
staff writer
There were few thrills from Mill,
nothing hot on the Stover and no
Bells tolling.
In a nutshell, the 10th annual
Michigan High School All Star Football
Game Saturday at Spartan Stadium
in East laming, sponsored by
Mr. Good wrench and Oldsmobile,
could have used a few spare parts
and a re-generation.
The East, represented by such Observer
land standouts as Mill Coleman
(Farmington Harrison), Eric
Stover (Westland John Glenn) and
Ryan Bell (Redford Catholic Central),
edged the West, 7-6, in a forgettable
afternoon on the gridiron that
dragged on for over 2 Vfa hours thanks
to several PASS-TV timeouts.
And speaking of pass, the word
was a misnomer for both teams. The
squad, with Coleman (5-of-d)
and Stover (S-of-8) at quarterback,
combined for just 16 attempts
through the air, while the West
launched only 11.
"We were looking to establish the
running game because we had great
backs, too," said offensive guard
Dennis Parker of Redford Bishop
Borgess. "I pride myself on pass-
blocking, but 1 like to lower the
boom, too."
ONE PLAYER who proved he
could dip the shoulder and knock a
few beads was Detroit Mackenzie's
Jerome Bettis, the 235-pound fullback
beaded to Notre Dame. He led
all rushers with 57 yards in IS carries.
Bettis scored the East's lone
touchdown on a 1-yard plunge with
37 seconds left to play in the first
-half. Coleman's 16-yard pass to Larry
Johnson (Wayne Memorial)
helped set up the score.
"He (Bettis) is as big as me and
he's a hard runner," said CC defensive
tackle Ryan Bell, who is beaded
to Vanderbilt.
"When you need two yards, you go
to him (Bettis)," added Coleman.
"He's probably the guy that will
stick out in my mind. What makes
him yond is that he's determined and
be plays with intensity. He wants to
win."
Ironically, Mike Cowen (North
Farmington) provided the final margin
of victory when he booted the extra
point through the uprights for the
East.
"It was a good feeling to finally
make a difference," said Cowen.
Wolves national champs

Webb, the goalkeeper in both games,
recorded six saves.
'Everybody^jlayed up to Es potential.
and the scores are evidence
of that," Larner said. "Everybody
really put out Everybody played
with the intensity necessary to win."
Larner added the Wolves had
spent the last two years preparing
for such a moment. The team began
four years ago as strictly an under-
12 Plymouth/Canton outfit, and Makowiec,
Lee, Truskowski, Cook,
Hayes, Larner, Sullivan and Zavagnin
are the holdovers from the original
team.
With the current roster in place,
the Wolves competed in Europe last
summer, the Dallas Cup in April and
the Robbie International, the fore-
most Canadian tournament, on the
Fourth of July weekend.
The Wolves were 2-0-1 in Dallas
but lost out to Las Vegas United on a
goal differential. The United won the
Region 4 championship but finished
fourth in the national tourney, losing
to Bethesda in the consolation game.
"That was evidence of how far we
progressed," Larner said.
The Wolves became the first Michigan
team to win the Robbie and,
playing up a year, captured the Little
Caesars Ilitch Division title.
"(The Dallas Cup) was like a
warmup for us," Larner said. "That
was our first outdoor competition.
We just wanted to get a Jump on the
league and prepare for winning the
region and eventually the national
championship."

Like all kickers, Cowen'a teammates
soon discovered that he had a
few idiosyncrasies.
"I HAD TO hold it (the ball) in a
particular spot, get the ball just in
front of this penny," said Coleman.
"I think I got it right."
During one practice, Cowen reportedly
insisted on using the coin
despite an offer from a member of
the coaching staff to use a five-dollar
bill instead as the spot.
Cowen refused.
With a 7-0 lead, the East, coached
by Taylor Truman's Jim Clawson,
high school football's version of Abe
Gibron. went into a shell during the
second half.
That prevented such things a
cross town hookup between Stover of
Glenn and his arch-rival Johnson
from Wayne.
"I thought I had one pass to him,
but they wouldn't call interference
on the play and we were both upset,"
said Stover, who is unsure about his
college plans (either football or
baseball). "I know Larry. He doesn't
live too far from me. We talked
about it (booking up) all week."
"That's the way it goes," said the
Western Michigan-bound Johnson,
who is fully-recovered from a knee
injury. "It was bang and run. It was
a run-oriented attack, but 1 didn't
mind. It was a fun game. At least we
won."
"WE CAME IN and accepted each
other and the unity helped us win the
game," said Ryan Johnson, a linebacker
from Plymouth Salem
"There was a lot of camaraderie."
Although the Ryans will go their
separate ways, Johnson to Eastern
Michigan and Bell to Vandy, they
struak up a friendship.
"We were a lot alike in a lot of
ways," said Johnson. "And I even got
to know Stover a little bit and he was
an all right guy. I didn't think we'd
get along because he was from
Glenn ^a league rival) and everything,
but he was cool."
The temperature on the field (110
degrees), however, was anything but
conducive for football.
Because of the heat, both coaching
staffs got the maximums out of their
44-man rosters.

Also from Observer land, representing
the East, was Pat Wagner, a
6-3, 230-pound guard from Redford
St. Agatha, and Nick Kiffner, a 6-1,
205-pound defensive end from
Walled Lake Central. The East's defensive
coordinator was Chuck Apap
(Walled Lake Western), while Bob
Sutter (Farmington Harrison)
coached the defensive line
"I'm very happy because I got to
work with some great coaches and
great kids," said Apap. "We were
very determined today, that was the
difference. We wanted to shut them
out and we were upset when they
(the West) scored."
SHONTE PEOPLES, a multipurpose
back from Saginaw Arthur Hill,
got the West on the board when he
scored on a 4-yard run with 9:55 remaining
in the game.
But the West failed in its attempt
to take the lead when Detroit Country
Day safety Mike Mootico broke
up Matt Snyder's (Okemos) soft twopoint
conversion pass in the end
zone.

Schorfhaar (Adrian) had a chaiv* to

Westland teams
win tourney titles
The sister Westland Federation I
and II teams have a lot in common
when it comes to Mickey Mantle-age
(15-16 year-olds) baseball.
Each team emerged last weekend
with district titles in the first step of
the American Amateur Baseball
Congress national tournament.
And as fate had it, the two teams
met yesterday (Wednesday) in the
first round of the AABC regional in
Coldwater (Results of that game
will appear in Monday's Observer.)
The nine-team regional at Coldwater
wraps up Sunday with the winner
advancing to the AABC finals, Aug.
10-14 in Waterbury, Conn.
Coach Jerry Pitcher's Westland 1
squad is no stranger to Coldwater or
