PSH goes to the hoop

Penn State Harrisburg basketball kicked off like a lamb Monday against
Misericordia but has the personel that can finish like lions.
PSH lost 85-46 but they were still hustling when the final buzzer sounded.
There was an obvious size difference between the teams especially at the guard
position. Ed Miller, 5-7, and Todd Fabbri, 5-5, had a problem matching up with a
taller Misericordia team, but are both solid players.
Jim Schreck and Ron Heggs provide some talented bulk in the middle and Shreck
has good range from the outside to make him more dangerous.
Although injured, Doug Cradle played well and got some good offensive rebounds.
But the team doesn't have a deep bench and it showed in the loss.
The Lions have the potential to be very competitive and they are already fun to
watch. You could see an attitude that they hate to lose, which got what little crowd
there was fired up.

Can anyone stop Iron Mike Tyson?
So far only two things hayed stopped
Mike Tyson from entering the ring, one
Was his dashboard and presently the other
is an inflamtion of his rib cage. The
later has postponed Tyson's November
18 fight with Razor Ruddock until mid-
January. It also has pushed back a
meeting between Tyson and Evander
Holyfield, the only true contender in the
Heavyweight division.
Forget George Foreman, for his
comeback in boxing has been a well
staged media event leading up to the big
Dr. D's NBA

Hello sports fans! Tired of seeing
your favorite football team lose to a
quarterback named after a state (Montana)
and a receiver named after that white
stuff you throw at weddings (Rice)?
(Forty-Niners fans excluded.) Are you
tired of hearing 300 pound men being
described as athletes? (And what kind of
name is Bubby anyway?)
Dr. D prescribes a couple of Charles
Barkley thunder dunks to grab your
attention. NBA action is fantastic,
according to the commercial. When
Michael "Air" Jordan soars through the
atmosphere and throws a reverse dunk
down a seven-foot center's throat, it is
hard to object to the NBA's claim. It is
a league of fantastic players who use
their superb athleticism to create
fantastic plays.
But basketball is a team sport. And
although each team has a super player,
which team will win it all this year?
Let's take a journey through each
division to find that team.
EASTERN CONFERENCE
ATLANTIC DIVISION
The Boston Celtics will win this
division.

paycheck(ala Mike Tyson). Foreman has
no chance in the ring with Tyson and
should have his head examined for even
thinking of it. Foreman's next "big"
match is against Gerry Coony, one of
the greatest bleeders in boxing's history.
The January fight is in Atlantic City and
has been called "The Geasers at Caesers"
and should live up to its billing.
Right now the only man who can
give Tyson a decent fight is Holyfield
and Tyson seems to be avoiding the
confrontation. Holyfield has proposed a
$25 million purse winner take all and
Tyson refuses. What ever happened to
Iron Mike, the man who fought 8 times

Predictions
Beantown. Larry Bird is back from the
injury that last year kept him off the
parquet floor at the Garden. He rejoins
one the best frontcourts (Robert Parish
at center and Kevin McHale at forward)
of all time. That's the good news. The
bad news is that the team is old and it
ain't gettin' any younger
In Ed Pickney and Joe Kleine, the
Celts have credible frontcourt backups.
But who will replace the very old and
very slow Dennis Johnson at point
guard? Brian Shaw, last year's point
guard, is in Italy with Danny Ferry.
Don't be surprised if he's back in a
Celtics uniform before the season ends.
If Bird has an off-night, Reggie
Lewis has the offensive firepower to
keep the team close enough for Bird to
win it at the end.
The rest: 2. New York Knicks, 3.
Philadelphia 76'ers, 4. New Jersey Nets,
5. Washington Bullets, 6. Miami Heat.
CENTRAL DIVISION
The Detroit Pistons will win this
division.
Without Rick Mahorn they will no
longer be the Bad Boys, but who cares.
The Pistons have the deepest team in
the league. They can afford to lose any
starting player and still hit on all
cylinders.
