Coaches in Italy have submitted their All conference selections live players on each squad from the league with the mow schools nine. Girls selected were Brindisi s Dit a Leazer Vixen a i Vanessa Pierce Marv mount a Trisha Mason overseas Ana Prieto and Naples Tanya Martin. Mclntosh Aviano s John Eck and Tony Robinson Vicenia a Glenn Ravelle and notre Dame s James cower comprise the boys Leam. Turkey coaches certainly had a strange Way for picking their Alt conference teams. They went with six players on each squad but they went by allot ment. The championship squad was allowed three players the runner up two and the last place least one. The reasoning i was told was that the coaches believe that the regular season Champion deserves More players. Come on now the girls team consists of Ankara s Jackie Slat Chuk Patty Novak and Shannon Runyan in Ciurlik s Rachel Babcock and Crystal Robinson and Izmir s Bonita standing. The boys team is made up of incur Lik s Mike Robinson Ronnie Zinn and Dean d Ang Elo. Ankara s Steve Campbell and Dion Williams and Izmir s John Reich. Another smashing Success that s the re port i got concerning the annual Italy All Star High school basketball Day american overseas of Rome coach Bobby Folloni stages. This year the North won both games Aviano s Marcus Corbin scored 29 Points 12 in the last Quarter As the boys prevailed 85-83. Troy Mclntosh Tal lied 13 in defeat. Livonia s Heidi Gangsei led the girls to a 34-30 Victory with 14 Points. Giulia Luccio n paced the South with 18 Points. A special added attraction was the coaches is. Boys All stars game. Naples girls coach Tom Deangel chalked up 22 Points Folloni added m and notre Dame Mentor Terry Mcandrews threw in 13 As the maestros gave the students an 80-49 lesson in the finer paints of the game. Milan s Chris Pink nov topped the All stars with 12, Taylor Lewis the Dean of Dodds football coaches with More than 30 years under his Bell 28 Ai London was upset when he read about the Italy schools dropping football. Other coaches have told me that they thought it was a had decision. Naturally football coaches would be expected to denounce the action Tut no one has stepped Forth to say dropping of the sport in Italy is a Good decision. But Lewis commenting basically on the travel and injury reasons has some interesting comments. Football is the one Dodds sport that has the most fascination in the european Community. In fact in the u.k., there arc men than 100 teams playing american foothill. Mere teams Are being formed every year because of the great interest in the game. Travel distances were Given As the main Stum bling Issue. Surely Well coordinated travel which takes advantage of the education and cultural opportunities available could offset any loss of school time. Injuries. Sure there arc some but football is a Contact sport and teaches aggressive bul  action. In More than 30 years of overseas coaching. 18 at London Central my teams have had one Bro Ken leg and two broken arms and that involved More than 1,450 Young men in the program. The biggest cause of injury is not the game or the equipment foul the general Lack of conditioning by american youth. What has Dodds done to counter this problem nothing. In fact Dodds has gone to the other extreme. It has eliminated the Toth and i lib Grade physical education requirement for graduation in fact. Dodds requires Only one year of be during the four years of High school. Fitness is not on a High priority with either Dodds or the boys and girls in the program. How Many of our High school students can pass the president s physical fitness tests for their age Levels not Many. " Lewis has been  fortunate in that his teams have suffered nothing More than the few Bro Ken Bones he mentioned bul his Points regarding the injuries and conditioning arc Well taken. Misinterpreted a couple of Points Dodds Germany executive assistant John Davis made last week concerning Dodds High schools charging admission to sporting and other events. 1 said that any fees charged by an appropriated fund Agency would have to be sent to a Central fund in Washington. Such monies would have to be sent directly to the . Treasury for proper distribution. I also stated that the Money raised by boosters clubs would go Back into the schools athletic funds. Actually schools Aren t permitted to accept Money from boosters clubs. The clubs can buy equipment and supplies and donate them to the schools.
