BSU Assault and Hell Boys lead in intramurals
as basketball competition winds down Friday
INTRAMURAL
RANKINGS
By ROBERT MCDONALD
Sports Writer
With previously top-ranked
Essence being swept away 40-26
by the Tornado, the BSU Assault
takes over the No. 1 position in
the Red and Black's women's in
tramural basketball rankings.
The top spot isn’t foreign terri
tory to the Assault, which won
last year's title, but coach Jeff
Bagwell said the team has a long
way to go before it can celebrate.
“We’ve got a good team, but the
tournament is going to be real
tough," Bagwell said. “Being No.
1 at the end of the tournament is
what counts.”
The Assault, led by the domi
nating inside play of senior Te
resa Davis, moved to 3-0 on the
season as they stopped Local Mo
tion 44-20 on Feb. 8.
With a blistering 77-46 win
over Pi Beta Phi, Zeta Tau Alpha
moves into the No. 2 spot, fol-

RECRUITS
From page 6
6-6
disappointing
n, Coach Ray Goff
After the
finish last seaaon,
went looking for some help and
some players to fill the holes left by
graduating players.
Looking for help after the depar
ture of last season’s starting tail
back Rodney Hampton to the NFL
draft, Goff snagged a slew of run
ning backs. In addition to Hearst,
Georgia signed Frank Harvey and
Mike Thornton.
The signing of Hearst creates a
logjam of talented backs in the
Bulldog backfield with Brian
Cleveland, Alphonso Ellis, Mack
Strong, and Larry Ware all re
turning.
The two most impressive sign
ings, however, came on the de
fensive side of the ball. With
defensive lineman Bill Goldberg
lost to graduation, the Bulldogs
needed some bulky pass-ruBhers
along the front and they got Ber
nard Williams and Tashe Williams
(no relation). These two should be
able to quickly enter the lineup and
play bemde last season’s Georgia
prep Player of the Year George
Brewer in Georgia’s 3-4 alignment.
Georgia’s already potent group
of linebackers were boosted by the
addition of Mitch Davis. Goff
pulled off a recruiting coup, for the
Alabama native was thought to be
definitely headed for Alabama or
Auburn before announcing his in
tention to attend Georgia.
NEW KIDS ON THE BLOCK
No.4 Lady Netters take on No.3 Gators Friday
By RANDY WALKER and
MICHELLE NOBLE
Sports Writers
While Wednesday’s 9-0 routine
romp of Virginia Tech was not the
women’s tennis team’s match of
the year, Friday’s match with the
third-ranked Florida Gators will
be.
Coach Jeff Wallace’s fourth-
ranked Lady Netters (2-0) battle
their arch-rivals from Gainesville
at 2 p.m. Friday at the women’s
courts in a match that showcases
some of the best talent in college
tennis.
“Both teams match up really
well,” Wallace said. “Every match
that we play should be close.
They’re going to push us to our
max, and we’re going to push them
to their max.”
Last year Wallace’s squad broke
Florida coach Andy Brandi’s four
year stranglehold on the SEC title
29 points to 25 points in the confer
ence tournament. Brandi’s loss of
the 1989 SEC crown was the first
SEC “anything” that he and his
Gator team have lost in his six-
year coaching career. Brandi has
won four SEC titles in the past five
years and has never lost a SEC reg
ular season match (45-0).
Brandi, however, believes that
despite the great matchup and the
rivalry, it’s too early in the season
to place an extreme amount of em
phasis on a single match.
“It will be a great match and I’m
looking forward to every minute of
it, but to take the match and bill it
as a life-or-death situation would
be out of context,” Brandi said.
The Lady Netters played two ex-

tremely tight matches with
Brandi’s bunch last season falling
twice by identical 5-4 scores.
“I’ve been here three years and
we’ve never beaten Florida,”
Stacey Schefllin said. ‘That’s one
personal and team goal I’d like to
accomplish before leaving
Georgia.”
The Gators No. 1 singles player
will probably be Andrea Farley, a
superstar freshman who is cur
rently ranked No. 2 in the Volvo
Tennis Collegiate Rankings.
Farley this fall defeated Georgia’s
Caryn Moss 6-4, 2-6, 7-5 to win the
DuPont National Intercollegiate
Clay Court Championships, and
last weekend defeated Georgia’s
Shannan McCarthy en route to the
finals of the Rolex National Colle
giate Indoor Championships.
“Andrea has been very consis
tent so far this season, Brandi
said. “She’s doing terrific in that
she has reached the finals of every
collegiate tournament she has
played in.”
Losing to Ginger Helgeson of
Pepperdine last weekend in the fi
nals of the Rolex Championships
was the first time Farley has lost to
a player not from Florida.
“My biggest improvement in my
game since I’ve been in college is
my consistency,” Farley said.
“Never before in my life have I
been this consistent.”
Before attending Florida, Farley
competed in the main draw of three
of the four professional Grand
Slam tournaments, reaching the
third round of the 1989 Australian
Open and the second round of the
1989 French Open.
McCarthy, Georgia’s No. 1
Jeff Wallace: Women's
coach expects hard road
netter, is looking forward to a prob
able re-match with Farley.
‘The match is still really fresh in
my mind," McCarthy said, recal
ling her three-set semi-final loss. “I
can still remember what I’ve got to
do to beat her. I need to get a high
percentage of first serves and at
tack her forehand. I’m going to
have to wait for the right opportu
nities to rush net because she
knows I will be coming in."
Other prominent Lady Gators
coming to play in Athens Friday
will be Nicole Arendt, the No. 5
ranked player in the country, Holly
Danfortn, the No. 10 ranked
player, and Andrea Berger, the
younger sister of American tennis
star Jay Berger.

12. Floyd Lewis: OT, 6-3, 305,
Carrollton, GA; One the
strongest players in the state.
One of the biggest men in the
state. Definitely will add size to
an offensive line that was out-
sized often this year.
13. Travis Jones: LB, 6-3, 220,
Irwinton, GA; A tough backer
who loves to hit.
14. Frank Harvey: RB, 6-0, 220,
Dawson, GA; One of the top
backs in the state this year. Will
compete with Hearst for playing
time in the backfield.
15. Joe Dupree: QB, 6-2, 190,
Macon, GA; The best dropback
passer in the state. He will defin-
ately push Preston Jones and
Greg Talley.

Cairo, GA; Very strong and has
good size.
17. Eric Coney: OLB, 6-4, 225,

230, Huntersville, NC; A tall
target with good size for quar
terbacks to see and hit and run
ning backs to run behind.
19. Carlos Yancy: CB, 6-2, 190,
Sarasota, FL; Signed last season,
but didn’t make the grades and
had to spend a year at NortheEist
Oklahoma Junior College before
resigning with the Dogs. Should
be a strong challenger for Ben
Smith’s position in the sec
ondary.
20. Greg O’Neal: OL, 6-6, 305,
Milledgeville, GA; Another in a
series of huge high school
linemen. Will give the Dogs more
size along the line Emd is in excel
lent shape for a 300-plus
pounder.
21. Bill Montogomery: QB/DB,
6-0, 183, Bowdon, GA; Started as
quarterback during his senior

the secondary for Georgia. Has
