University Daily Kansan / Wednesday, July 27, 1988 Sports 9 Adversity adds to squad's strength as teens ready for Junior Olympics Soccer squad to compete in local games By Karen Boring Kansan staff writer Kansan staff writer Lawrence's Junior Olympic soccer team has only two weeks to practice, but the players are determined to compete with regional champions from across the country. The Amateur Athletic Union Junior Olympics will be Aug. 6-13 in Lawrence. According to AU rules, the games' host city can enter a team without going through the qualifying rounds. The Lawrence Select Soccer Teams, a club that trains 12- to 19-year-old boys interested in competitive soccer, has provided most of the players for Lawrence's Junior teams. The 12- to 14-year-old team, took on the project of forming a team for the games. "It was just brought to my attention in the last two or three weeks that we could enter a host team," James said. He called several players, but couldn't find enough. He also was having trouble finding a coach without conflicting obligations. Most of the teams for the Lawrence Select Soccer team are parents of the players. "We felt apprehensive about coaching on a piecemeal basis," he said, after reaching a standstill a piecemeal of San Jose. I was runnin up against a wall." When James called the players back to tell them the soccer team wasn't going to happen, one of the guys told him. Lynds, wouldn't give up on the idea. "I said, 'If I could get enough guy, together, could we play?' and he said 'sure. Mr. James gave me some money and I started calling.' Lynds said. Merv Lynds, Jarrod's father, watched his son practice at Holcom Park yesterday morning. "Jarrod told me that this was his chance," he said. "He said when and if the Junior Olympics came to Lawrence again, he would no longer Jarrod Lynds will be a ninth-grader at West Junior High School in the fall. He has been playing soccer since fourth grade, first with Kaw Valley Soccer Association, and later with the Lawrence Select Soccer Teams. He is goalie for "The Force," a 14- to 16-year-old team. be a junior." After Lynds called Alfred and told him that he had 14 players, James asked Klenft Shirliffe, coach of the Soccer Club, to coach the team. Shrilife, a graduate student in geology, said that the short time frame of two weeks of practice and a week of competition made it possible for him to commit himself to the task of detracting from his academic work. "The first time I saw them was Saturday morning." Shirtliffe said. "We've got some pretty good players. "It's been a while since I've coached non-college kids. I'm treating them as senior amateur players, college level players. They're getting a higher work rate then they're used to. schedule: two more practices this week, a game on Saturday and then practices in the evenings all next week." James is working on arranging scrimages for the team with area teams. The team will probably scrimmage an older team from Leavenworth on Sunday, James said. Another scrimmage may be Aug. 3 or 4. The team will compete in roundrobin Junior Olympics tournaments Aug. 9 and 10. Elimination rounds will be Aug. 11 and 12. The teams competing in the tournament have not been determined because some teams are still playing qualifying rounds. All Junior Olympics soccer games will be played at the Shenk Complex, 23rd and Iowa streets. Admission at the complex will be free. Fourteen sports compose the AAU Junior Olympics. Field hockey also will be played at the complex. The other sports, including baseball, gymnastics, karate and swimming, will be held throughout Lawrence. These games are a week long and may be purchased from the Chamber of Commerce. Richie Rose and DeWayne Charlton of Lawrence scrimmage during practice. The two players are members of the Lawrence 14- to 16-year-old soccer team that will be competing in the Junior Olympic Games Aug. 6-13.

Sheridan started the inning with a walk off of Kansas City reliever Jeff Montgomery, 3-2, who took over from starter Charlie Leibrandt. Mike Heath sacrificed Sheridan to second, and pinch-hitter Dave Bergman was intentionally walked, setting the stage for Whitaker, who lined a 1-0 pitch into the gap between right and center. Mike Henneman, 5-2, worked the 10th inning in relief of starter Jack Morris, picking up the victory which ended a game-game losing streak for the Tigers.
