SSHS girls
keep state
streak alive

DENTON — Twelve straight and
counting.
The Sulphur Springs girls will make
their 12th consecutive trip to the state
golf tournament after winning the
Region IMA championship by 32
strokes Wednesday.
The Wildcats, who wound up with a
two-day total of 143, out-distanced
Highland Park for the team title.
Coach Randy Smith feels this may be
the year the ’Cats make a run for the
title at Austin.
“We finished awful strong,” Smith
said. ‘Talk about a confidence builder;
340-something scores are the kind the
teams that win down there come up
with. I’m just tickled to death.
<^'X “If we can’t believe that we can
compete at the state level now, I don’t
know what we’d have to do to give
ourselves confidence we can do that.
Team-wise we’ve really never been
very competitive down there and this
will be a little bit of a new experi-
ence.”
Sulphur Springs senior J.J. Rorie
captured second-place medalist honors
after winning the region the previous
two years. Rorie trimmed five strokes
off Tuesday's score with a sparkling 74
Wednesday at the University of North
Texas layout, ending up with a two-
day total of 153.
Highland Park’s Kelli Kuehne (pro-
nounced KEE-nee) won the medalist
crown in her firsl year of competition.
The dazzling freshman closed with a
69 Wednesday, carding a 143. Her
brother, Hank Kuehne, won the boys
medalist trophy with a 147. It is
believed to be the first sister-brother
duo to win the medalist title in the
same year.
Rorie, four-time district medalist,
posted identical scores of 7-over 37 in
the final round.
“Being beat is going to help me. It
will make me work harder at it and
motivate me even that much more to
win. iWidn’t shock me or anything
because I knew (Kelli) was here and I
knew how good she was,” Rorie said.
Each day, someone stepped up and
contributed.
On Tuesday, it was sr. Kelley
Moody with an 86 and soph. Amy
Harris with a 95. On Wednesday, jr.
Daphe Hill blazed to an 84 and soph.
Carley Hammargren came through
with a 99. Moody finished tied for fife
at 176 while Hill was alone in 14th
place.
“All yeai lonj I’ve been telling
them they know how to win,” Smith
said. “Ltfit night, I decided, that was
the thing: Every time we go out, some-
body does something above and
beyond what they normally do. If
somebody falters, there’s somebody
there to take up the slack. That’s why
this is a team game. We’ve got a more
balanced team than anyone in the
region and I think this is proof.”
Tixas High and Carthage tied for
third place with Henderson fifth and
Denison sixth.
Texas High’s Karie Schooler was
third in the medalist race with a 172,
closely followed by Denison’s Amber
Gallager at 174 and a group of three
golfers at 176.
But make no question about it, the

race. A gallery of about 20 onlookers

Cowboys acquire back,
but can’t move Noonan
IRVING, Texas (AP) — Former
Texas A&M running back Keith
Woodside says he can’t wait to join
the Dallas Cowboys this season.
The Green Bay Packers on
Wednesday traded Woodside to
Dallas for an undisclosed future draft
choice.
“This looks beautiful,” said
Woodside. a three-year starter. “I’ve
known Dallas didn’t have depth
behind Emmitt (Smith), but it’s a
team loaded with talent.”
But while Woodside can’t wait to
get to Dallas, defensive lineman
Danny Noonan can’t wait to get out.
Noonan told the Fort Worth Star-
Telegram he is "surprised and disap-
pointed” to still be a Cowboy. Coach
Jimmy Johnson said he tried to trade
the former University of Nebraska
star during the draft but found no tak-
ers.
“I was so expecting to be traded to
the point that I was ready to finish
packing up my stuff,” said Noonan,
Dallas’ No. 1 pick in 1987. “It was a
surprise I wasn’t traded. And it was a
little disappointing.”
Woodside, a fourth-round draft
choice in 1988, started 50 of 64
games during his career with Green
Bay and did not miss a game.
He caught 144 passes for 1,248
yards and rushed 259 times for 976
yards. Last season he gained 371
yards on 46 carries.
Woodside had his best season in
1989 when he caught 59 passes, the
second-highest total in team history.
He had only one 100-y ard rushing
game, that coming in 1989 against
Chicago when broke off a 68-yard
touchdown run against the Bears.
“Our decision to trade Keith
Woodside should not be considered a
reflection upon his abilities," Packers
general manager Ron Wolf said in a
statement. “He is a solid player who
gave the Green Bay Packers his
best.”
The Packers have returning backs
Darrell Thompson. Walter Dean,
Allen Rice and Vince Workman. The
signed free agents Marcus Wilson
and Doug Lloyd and also took two
running backs in the recent NFL
draft.

DENTON — Business is business
and pleasure is pleasure.
Rarely do the two mix — except
when the Sulphur Springs golfers grab
their sticks and hit the links.
The Wildcats took care of business'
Wednesday — and had fun at the same
time — as they grabbed second place
at the Region IMA tournament at the
University of North Texas, qualifying
for the state meet for the second!
straight year.
The ’Cats bettered Tuesday’s open-
ing-round and tournament-leading;
score of 309 by a stroke, but Highland!
Park, buoyed by medalist Hank
Kuehne, made up 10 shots and took'
off with the first-place hardware.
“I feel relieved now that the pressure
is off a little bit about getting to state,
coach Doug Evans said. “I'm a little
disappointed because we felt like we;
could have played better today and had;
a very realistic shot at winning."
Sulphur Springs shot a 308 on:
Wednesday after taking a two-stroke!
lead on Highland Park after 18 holes.!
SSHS's 36-hole total of 617 was 12!
shots better than third-place Pine Tree
Lindale, one of the pre-tourney
favorites, was fourth at 361.
The Wildcats’ Chris Bauer lost at,
three-way playoff for runner-up medal-
ist to Highland Park’s Stepheni
Summers. Pine Tree’s Chad Dunaway
finished fourth after double-bogeying!
the first playoff hole, the par 4 No. 1.
Bauer bogeyed after leaving his
approach shot short, and Summers
tapped in for par after pegging his 45-
teggiDg l
yard second shot within fiYe(f$et.
Bauer ended the tournament at id-
over 150 after a 72 Wednesday. He
was three shots back of Kuehne, who
finished at 77-70—147.

happy for myself but two holes cost

Guzman sparkles
Nokes’ 7th-inning homer breaks up no-hitter
NEW YORK (AP) — Even Jose Guzman admitted that
he was getting a little nervous.
“I was thinking about the no-hitter,” said Guzman, who
held the New York Yankess hitless into the seventh inning
on Wednesday night but finished with a two-hitter in the
Texas Rangers 5-1 victory.
Guzman lost the no-hit bid when Matt Nokes homered on
a 3-1 pitch with one out in the seventh. He gave up his only
other hit when Kevin Maas blooped a single to short left
field one out later.
“I didn’t think it was going to carry that much. It was a
fast ball,” Guzman said of Nokes’ drive to left, his third of
the season.
Guzman decided to challenge Nokes with a fast ball
because he didn’t want to walk him with Jesse Barfield and
Maas due to follow.
“For me, it was more to get the game over and go
through the hitters,” said Guzman (2-2), who pitched his
second complete game in five starts. His first complete
game 6-inning rain-shortened effort last week against the
Boston Red Sox.
Lefthanded-hitting Kevin Reimer, in the lineup despite
the Yankees starting lefty Greg Cadaret (2-1), sparked the
Rangers offense with three RBIs and three hits including his
second homer.
“They let me hit a lot more against lefthanders in spring
training and three of my four homers down there were off
lefthanders,” Reimer said.
Juan Gonzalez gave the Rangers a 1-0 lead with a first-
inning sacrifice fly, Reimer opened the second with his
homer and Dickie Thon’s RBI single in the fourth made it
3-0.
From then on the main focus was on Guzman.
“He’s much improved from last year. He looks better and
better each time out,” Yankee manager Buck Showalter
said. “He was getting strikes when he needed to and made
us swing at some bad pitches.”
Cadaret allowed seven hits and three runs over the first
six innings while walking four and striking out five.
Texas’ run in the first inning snapped an 18 inning
shutout string for Cadaret.
Rich Monteleone came on in the seventh and issued four
walks as the Rangers scored twice on Reimers’ bases-loaded
single with two outs.
“He’s a really good pitcher, he’s moves the ball around *
lot and he’s been pitching well lately," said Reimer of!
Cadaret.
Guzman’s effort enabled the Rangers to win two of the
three games at New York, by holding the Yankees to only
five hits the last 19 innings.
When asked if he was disappointed about losing his no-
hitter, Guzman said, “I’m not disappointed. I’m never dis-
appointed when I get a win.”
He relied on his fast ball in the early innings but then
started mixing more off speed pitches as the game pro-;
gressed.
“After the fifth 1 started throwing more sliders and
change-ups," said Guzman, who walked three and struck out
eight, including Nokes twice and Barfield three times.

field practitioners provide the litmus test for
Wildcat athletics this week at Denton's
regional carnival.
As the Region IMA meets continue on the
campus of the University of North Texas, let's
reflect on just what SSHS athletes accom-
plished this spring in Wildcatland.
The Wildcat girls golf team clinched its
12th consecutive trip to the state tournament
while the boys earned a repeat journey to
Austin with a second-place finish.
The girls won by a whoppftig 32 strokes
while the boys fijnished second behind
Highland Park by eight shots.

aganza unfurls Friday at Fouts Field.
Senior sprinter Chris Wright etched his
name in the Wildcat record books once again
this spring, rocketing to a new mark in the
100 meters at the district meet. Wright's
10.67-second clocking broke his own school
mark of 10.75, set last spring at the Allen
Relays. ’
Distance man Billy Turner will be seeding
regional glory after a twin killing at the
District 15AAAA meet. Turner grasped the
gold in both the 3,200 and 1,600 for the

In addition to these athletes, Craig Vaughn
and Aundrc Glenn will be aiming to reach the
state meet. Vaughn sailed over 12 feet at dis-
trict but his diary boasts a personal best of 13-,
6. And Glenn, a junior thinclad, has blos-
somed this spring both as a sprinter and as a
field event specialist. He is also projected as a
big contributor next fall on the Wildcat grid-
iron.
What drives these athletes to such success?
Former News-Telegram sports editor Lew
Johnson had a simple recipe for athletic suc-
cess ih a column roughly five years ago.
If you're an athlete and you’re not playing
as much as you think you should, here are a
few questions from that column that might
help you.
P.S.: Regional athletes need not waste their
time reading further.
■ Do you tisten closely to your coach when
he's discussing practice schedules or game
plans?
B Do you give 100 percent effort on all
practice?
■ When you’re running laps to strengthen
your legs and endurance, do you push your-
self to the limit, or do you feint exhaustion
and save some for the prom?
■ When your coach is pushing you to do
better, do you consider him a slave driver or
do you accept the challenge with the right
attitude?
■ When friends ask you to break training
rules, do you follow the crowd or do you
make the decision based on what you really
want to do? In other words, are you your own
person?
■ When a teammate gets more playing time
than you do, do you objectively consider
why?
■ Do you report for practice and all team
