Gonzaga Muscles Past USD 70-61 (Continued from D-1 ) "They just played a better game than we did." Early on it appeared the Toreros were going to open their third WCAC campaign with a notable upset of a cast that had won 19 games a year ago and whose 8-5 pre- conference record included a 73-69 win over a Washington team that is 4-0 in the Pac 10. Hustling on the defensive end and working for the mismatch at the offensive end, the Toreros tallied three quick three-point plays and were up 18-12. The Toreros got a bit of a break because Gonzaga came out in a short alignment with 6-3 Bryce McPhee starting at one forward. With the Bulldogs in a man-to-man, USD simply moved the ball around the perimeter until either 6-6 Gerald Jones or 6-7 Robby Roberts was able to match up with McPhee. Inside the ball went. Jones scored nine of USD's first 11 points, but scored just three after the first five minutes. Robert.~ had six of his 10 in the first 10 minutes. After following behind. Gonzaga made adjustments on both ends of the floor. Defensively. they sagged back into the middle. "They just took our inside game away," said Brovelli. Offensively, McPhee and guard John Stockton took t•irns hitting four su-aighljwnpers from long-range (llong the baseline. That forced USD's defense to play 1t honest and opened the floodgates inside. Once ;;gam the Toreros drew close From a 66-55 defi- cit, they pressured Gonzaga mto some mistakes and hit three straight baskets to make it 66-61 with 22 seconds to go But it just wasn't USD s night. The Toreros fouled at that point and got the missed free throw, only to have Dunlap grab the rebound That closed the book. USD slipped to 7-6. Gonzaga improved to 9-5. Perhaps the most disappointing part of USD's game was its shooting and defense. Gonzaga shot 60 percent for the game. USD also had 24 field goals, but Gonzaga went 22-for-32 from the line and the hosts made only 13 of 19 attempts. Rocha and Jones both scored 12 points for the Toreros and led USD with seven and six rebounds, respectively. Roberts had 12 points. USD leader Rusty Whitmarsh had a rare off night, missing his first seven field goal at- tempts and finishing 2-for-12 from the floor for six point.~. "When we joined this conference, I don·t think a lot of people believed me when I told them how good WCAC ba,ketball is,"' said Brovelli. •·J think they're beginning to understand.·•

Two former local high school stars were named to the All-State Division II Football Team for their efforts on the MiraCosta College gridiron squad. Robert Haley, a sophomore at MiraCosta and a Torrey Pines graduate, was honored for his blocking skills on the Spartan offensive line. Jon Underwood, also a sophomore and a San Dieguito alumnus, had a productive year at the defensive tackle position. Both players were also named to the All-Foothill Conference team. Spartan coach Cliff Kinney had praise for the coaching prowess of San Dieguito's Craig Bell (whom many San Dieguito fans might not recog- nize if he loses any more weight) in guiding the talent of such players as Underwood. "Coach Bell deserves some recognition for de• veloping these young players," said Kinney. "They're major contributors. When you walk out on the field with them, you had better buckle down your helmet on all four points. Otherwise, they'll knock it off. Whoever comes in after them will have tough spots to fill ." Other Bell proteges who started for MiraCosta are Kevin Reece, a freshman receiver, and Jerry Surace, a 5-9, 180-pound sophomore inside- linebacker. "He was our defensive captain and leader," Kinney said of Surace. "He is like having a coach on the field . He calls the signals and the au- dibles; he's in charge on the field ." Kinney said that it is likely that Surace will play football for a small c;ollege next year. Reece caught 20 passes for 208 yards and two touchdowns, with a per-reception average of 10.4 yards. He started the season at tight end, but became a wide receiver as the MiraCosta offense developed into a wide-open pass attack. Reece was an All-Foothill Conference selection. "Reece had an outstanding year," Kinney said. "He's a very intelligent player. We throw to a lot of different players, and 20 receptions is a pretty good job." Another former Torrey Pines player who ex- celled in community college football last season is Tim Donhowe, a sophomore at San Diego Mesa College. At 5-11 , Donhowe was considered undersized for his safety position, yet was named second- team All-Conference and led the team in tackles, tackle assists and interceptions. Donhowe said that he chose Mesa because of its reputation as a football powerhouse. With Donhowe's help, it lived up to that reputation in 1981. Mesa was listed in the top 20 junior college teams in the country, and beat previously unde- feated Fullerton , a school that was ranked second in the nation at that time. Several schools have scouted Donhowe. Boise State , Reno Nevada, Cal State Hayward , UC Davis and Washington State have all expressed · interest in Donhowe. "I'm going up north, and I'm going to work my way down , stopping at different schools, like San- ta Clara," Donhowe said. "I like Santa Clara be• cause it has scholarships. Donhowe wants to go to school somewhere near the coast. For that reason, Donhowe is also looking at USD and.SDSU. Unless Donhowe decides on Washington State, he won't be near fellow alumni Lydia and John Laidlaw, who live in the same dorm at Whitman College. · Lydia is a sophomore and started on the Whit- man volleyball team, which finished 27-18 and went to the first round ofNAIA regional playoff competition. An outside hitter, she led the team in spiking. In fact, she broke several school hit- ting and passing records. Lydia likes playing on the team, although she said it has some built in obstacles to overcome. "We have a barrier: the average grade point average at our school is 3.7. ," Lydia said while in town on Christmas vacation, "Academics and athletics don't seem to go hand in hand. "It's a hard school. I spend five hours a night studying, and two or three hours practicing. The school stresses taking time off because of the pressure: they say 'don't go straight through in four years. Take a year off.' " Originally planning to major is sociology, Lydia is now going to switch to psychology with a minor in political science. She hopes to attend law school. John Laidlaw is having a good season playing basketball for Whitman. "He's doing really well, and the team is doing better than at the start of the season," said Lydia. "It's 4-4 right now. John is averaging 19 points. "Their program is really intense. They have to work out before the season' starts and they prac- tice a lot, run quite a bit.'' Lydia said that like her experience with vol- leyball, John has had to sacrifice some social life for athletics. "That's what you have to do if you want to excel," she said. John Laidlaw Kevin Reece

USD tops out at 6-foot-8, and one of the two Torero player. hitting that height, starting cent~r D.ive Heppell, was troubled by a lower back strain last night. nd Rocha, the other, tired after a strong 10 minute effort and needed a rest. Gonzaga goes 6-10, 6 9, 6-9, 6-8 and USD just ran out of bodi to put up against them. •·Gonzaga 1s an excellent team," aid Brovelh. •They are very tough inside. And they play well together. They do an excellent JOb of finding the mismatches inside." A case in point was 6-foot-8 resc~e Jaso~ Van Nort. He came into the game averagmg 3.2 points a

At the other end of the floor, after making some quick adjustments, 6-10 center Duan~ Bergeson, Dunlap and either Van Nort r 6-9 Blair Anderson did a nice Job of jamming the lanes. ''We had trouble containing them inside," Brovel h said. "They did a good job of sc_recning and pick• ing. They picked us apart. Trees, Just a lot of trees. (Continued on D-4, Col. 1)

'The group of kids coming off the bench did a great job," said Brovelli after the Toreros sank to 0- 2 m West Coast Athletic Conference play. 'That's one of the great things about sports. You're judged solely on performance." What Brovelli was referring to was a decision he says will be made tomorrow in practice. Will he shake up his starting lineup? The events of last
