walked Michael Roberts
and Corey Jones to load the
bases. Shane Ashley dou
bled in Fowler and Roberts
then Seth Reber singled to
score Jones and Ashley.
After that rough first
inning Barnard then settled
down. He allowed only one
hit during the next three
innings.
Jonathan Broadie
then pitched the fifth for
Northside.
Entering that inning,
Perry was still up 5-0.
Fowler started for them
and pitched four scoreless
innings, allowing two hits
and walking one.
Robby Taylor began the
fifth on the mound for
Perry but walked the bases
loaded. He was relieved

improved to 3-0. The visitors from

Demonettes banged three shots on
goal within two minutes.

the first batter he faced.
That wasn’t the end of the
threat, however, as he then
walked Derek Bowen to
force in Brad Horne.
Reber rallied to strike out
the next Eagle and then put
out Adam Smith at home
when he tried to score on a
wild pitch.
“The worst thing was
that we didn’t compete at
the plate,” said Northside
head coach Kevin Kinsler.
“When you get down 5-

things: coast along or com

Chaney needs
a trip to the
'goony' bin
Temple hoops
coach John
Chaney stepped
into a big pile of doggy
doo last week when he
ordered one of his players
to go into a game against
St. Joseph’s and dole out
some hard fouls.
Chaney was not
ashamed of his actions at
the time.
In fact, he almost
bragged about it after the
game saying he did it in
retaliation to some mov
ing screens St. Joe’s was
throwing and not getting
called for.
But the stakes were
raised when it was discov
ered one of the fouls his
goon Nehemiah Ingram
passed around in his four
minutes of work - prior
to fouling out - resulted
in a broken arm for one of
the St. Joe’s players.
St. Joe senior John
Bryant saw his college
career cut short because
of one of Ingram’s fouls.
Suddenly, Chaney’s
actions take on a whole
new aspect.
When learning of the
injury Chaney then gave
