Volleyball specialist digs in
K-10 & Co. Rd. 1057 * 542-1747
Blackwell's skills provide team with a strong defense

Kansas assistant volleyball coach Jan Madlock digged the play of Kansas junior defensive specialist Stephanie Blackwell at last weekend's game in St. Louis, Mo.
"Steph had 24 digs in a match, and for someone who plays part time, that's a lot!" Madlock said. "Defensive plays are so important, and they can be such momentum builders for your team. I don't think people realize that."
During Friday's 7-UP Billiken Invitational against St. Louis, Blackwell recorded 24 digs. Blackwell only played in a part of the match. Blackwell, 5 feet 4 inches tall, plays only in the backcourt.
"You play in the front row for three serves, and you play in the back row for three serves," said Kansas assistant volleyball coach Kiran Mistry. "She goes in for one of our middle blockers, Anné Kreimer, and she goes into serve for her and play in her defensive spot for all three rotations in the back row. She's in there for three rotations, mainly because she has some great defensive skills.
"She can dig just about any ball that comes her way."
Blackwell was a junior college transfer from Cloud County Community College, where she played full time and was a second team All-
American. This season she is second on the team with 80 digs.
"I never just played back row before," Blackwell said. "It's kind of challenging because I only play half the time. Usually teams don't go out and recruit a specialist."
Mistry said Blackwell helped spark the Jayhawks' win in their match against the Billikens with her play against St. Louis senior volleyball player Suzanne Oren.
"She's a 5-foot-10 outside hitter who had a very strong crosscourt
Mistry said strategy was involved in substituting, and Blackwell is substituted depending on the game's situation. Blackwell and Kreimer, a redshirt freshman middle blocker, usually substitute for each other. Kreimer, however, will sometimes play in the back row for Blackwell, because substitutions are limited to
shot that needed to be dug." Mistry said. "She (Blackwell) must have dug her three or four times in that match; that way we were able to transition and score points on them."
"Ever since they incorporated the 12-sub rule, it also has made it a specialized game," Mistry said. "Stephanie starts the game in the back row. Once she rotates forward to the front row, Anné will come in for her. That's one entry each per person, and you're allowed three per person."
Madlock said Blackwell's height hindered her from playing in the frontcourt.
three times a game for each of the plavers.
Kansas junior middle blocker Maggie Mohrfeld said that while she had been at Kansas, they had not recruited a defensive specialist.
"We have players that play in the front row who are more effective than she is," Madlock said. "Anné specializes in blocking and打击."
"I think our passing game has improved because Stephanie's a great passer," Mohrfeld said. "I have complete confidence when Stephanie comes into the game."
Blackwell said she's getting used to her role on the team.
"When I step in, the first thing I have to do is serve," Blackwell said. "I think the thing I need to work on is coming off the bench and getting in my serv."
Madlock, who was a defensive specialist in her collegiate days at Illinois State, said Blackwell's role was to make a difference when she's out there.
"She's responsible for serving and keeping her serves in the court because that creates more opportunities for her to actually play ball." Madlock said. "She understands that's her job when she's out there."
Johnson plunges into new season
The Associated Press
When Jimmy Johnson became coach in Miami, he fired 24 of Don Shula's high-priced Dolphins and added 24 of his own, many of them no-names. Two games into the season, Miami is 2-0 and has outscored the opposition 62-20.
Jimmy Johnson Jerry Jones
nonetheless, Johnson's success demonstrates one thing — if he and Jerry Jones hadn't had the decade's loudest clash of egos, the Cowboys already would have won four consecutive Super Bowls and be heading for five.
The Cowboys have managed to stay on top because of stars like Troy Aikman, Emmit Smith, Deion Sanders and Michael Irvin.
In other words, Johnson knows personnel and Jones knows business
However, Johnson doesn't complain about misfortune.
Johnson's draft in Miami this year has produced contributors like defensive lineman Daryl Gardener; running backs Karim Abdul-Jabbar, Stanley Pritchett and Jerris McPhall; safety Shawn Wooden and line-backer Zach Thomas.
Although Jones took credit for some of Johnson's great low-round Dallas picks such as Leon Lett, Erik Williams and Dixon Edwards, he probably can't figure out a way to claim the Miami group.
He lost Fred Barnett, who was supposed to be his premier receiver, so he's filled in with Scott Miller, strictly a second-teamer in six years under Shula and Lamar Thomas, another of his old Miami players. Thomas was let go by Tampa Bay after being charged with trying to choke his pregnant financee.
He cut Eric Green, his underachieving tight end, then Johnny Mitchell, signed to replace him, quit. Green asked to come back, but Johnson adapted instead by shifting Keith Byars, who was beaten out by Pritchett at fullback.

to me as his associate," Polito said. "You must come to work early or leave late, perhaps both, and work together as a team to improve the program."
While Polito has yet to seek anyone to fill his old position, he does know what qualifications the coach must meet.
Lemieux said he was healthy and was motivated enough to play. He was convinced the Penguins could challenge again for the Stanley Cup.

"I want someone who knows the game, will work with the girls during practice and constantly try to improve the program," Polito said. "I want someone who I'll be able to work together with as a team, like me and Merzbacher, who will work hard and get the job done."
Stanley Cup goal for high-scoring star
Penguin hockey will retain Lemieux
SIGN UP AT :
Lemieux, who will be 31 next month, returned from a one-year health sabbatical to win his fifth NHL scoring title and lead the Penguins within one victory of the Stanley Cup finals last spring.
Llemieu signed a seven-year, $42 million contract in 1992, but the deal was reworked after his one-season layoff.
"I needed the summer break to be sure I would be able to meet the physical requirements of the long season and compete at my normal level," Lemieux said. "This is all about the Stanley Cup. At this stage in my career, the cup is the biggest motivation."
After Pittsburgh's Game 7 loss
This season Lemieux is scheduled to be paid the first of two $4 million bonus payments.
The bonus payment pushes Lemieux's 1996-97 salary into the $10 million-plus range.
to Florida in the Eastern Conference finals, Lemieux put off any decision about his hockey future.
Lemieux sat out the 1994-95 season following five years of recurring medical problems, including Hodgkin's disease, fatigue and back problems.
He led the NHL with 69 goals and 161 points in 70 games.
He has 563 goals, 809 assists and 1,372 points in 699 games, despite missing an average of 25 games a season from 1990-94 because of his medical problems.

Although the Beta team did not compete yesterday, it did utilize the court. Krone was glad to see the team's commitment.
"That court is theirs for the 40 minutes scheduled," Krone said. "We don't brush them off and say, You can't play here.' In fact, we encourage them to stay."
If neither team wins two of the three games within the 40 minutes, a winner must be declared. The team that is ahead by two when time is called wins the final game.
If a tie results, a new game is played until one team pulls ahead by 2 points.
Teams may stay on the court for 40 minutes. In that time, three matches may be played.
Future games are scheduled for Mondays, Wednesday, Thursdays and Sundays.
