Petition
supports
bowling
Bowllnf should
be a regular medal
sport in the Olym-
pic Guaea.
There have been
many attempt* to
get this recognition.
So far, the powers
that be have not
seen it our way, and
with the next games
set for Atlanta in
1996, this ia our
beet chance to con-
nect.
There ia an orga-
nised effort under
way to amsss one
million signed petitions from all across
America to present to the International
Olympic Committee.
Each year, we select a Team USA for
all international competition.
Our team ia comprised of the beat am-
ateur bowlers across the country, and
they can compete with the beet from
anywhere in the world.
There are 60 nations that take part in
international bowling competition with
more than 50 million people participat-
ing.
You would think more people can re-
late to bowling than, say. synchronized
swimming, kayaking, handball, biath-
lon, luge or water polo. Bowling is a
game that is really fair for one and all.
The heaviest ball allowed, anywhere
in tbe world, is 16 pounds.
A muscular 6-footer has no particular
advantage over a slim person of short
stature. The scoring is not judgmental,
either a pin has toppled or it has not.
Compare that to how-the skaters and
divers are always judged, and how politi-
cal that can be.
Bowling has been basically un-
changed for almost 100 years. I think
bowling should be a part of the Olym-
pics, do you?
If you agree, please take a moment to
fill out and sign the petition form. You
can mail it directly to this paper, or if
more convenient bring it to the bowling
center and give it to the counter person.
Either way, this is your chance to
stand up and be counted. Help us reach
our goal of one million signed petitions.
You can make a difference.

Patriots stay focused, beat Chargers
BY NRAL ZIPSEE
STAFF Warm
There were plenty of distrac-
tions Friday for the Livonia
Franklin basketball team.
But the most important busi-
ness at hand wss trying to stay
out of the basement in the West-
em Division of the Western Lakes
Activities Associstion.
It was Parents Night and a
homecoming dance to follow, but
the biggest nemesis was cross-
town rival Livonia Churchill,
which couldn't spoil the evening,
falling to the host Patriots, 51-46.
Franklin improved to 5-9 over-
all and 2-7 in the WLAA, while
the Chargers fell to 2-12 and 1-8.
The Patriots jumped out to a
quick lead and led by as much as
nine (34-25) midway through the
third quarter before Churchill ral-
lied to close the score to 34-31 en-
tering the fourth quarter.
"We had an eight-point lead
and I wanted to get some kids in
the game that usually don't see a
lot of minutes," said Franklin
coach Dan Kennedy. "We wound
up letting" them bock in the game.
And when you get a team like
Churchill — who is scrappy as
heck — it turns out to be any-
body's game in the fourth."
The fourth quarter, easily the
most — and only — entertaining
quarter of the game, saw both
teams trade baskets.
Churchill closed the margin to
40-39 with 4:41 left on a three-
pointer by forward Drew Jurcisin.
Franklin's Greg Maple countered
with a triple.
"We could never get rid of
them," Kennedy said. "We got on
top early but didn't do a good job
on our press and had to rely on
our half-court defense."
"They were tough," said center
Jason Meixner. "I thought we'd
take off but we couldn't put the
nail in the coffin."
After a layup by Darrell Wiacek
cut the lead back to one, Meixner
made a perfect pass under the
basket to Jason Facinoe. The sen-
ior forward converted the assist
and was fouled. His ensuing free
throw gave the Patriots a 46-41
advantage with 3:13 remaining.
Two Jurcisin foul shots nar-
rowed the margin to three. But
Churchill wasted two opportuni-
ties to score by Ceiling to convert
consecutive front-ends of one-
Snd-one free throw tries.
A foul shot by Meixner and two
more by Clem Herrera expanded
the lead back to six, but Jurcisin
came bock with another three-
pointer.
"(Jurcisin) came out of
nowhere," Kennedy said. "I told
the that anything he throws
up is going to go in so we have to
help out on him."
After Facione missed a free
throw, the Chargers had the ball
with 27 seconds to go, but Jurci-
sin finally missed. His errant shot
landed in the hands of Meixner,
who fed Paul Kruachka for an
easy layup as time expired.
"I don't think we plsyed well
all game, especially on defense,"
said Churchill coach Tom Lang.
"But we had our opportunities
and juat screwed up late in the
Meixner, a 6-foot-5, 240-pound
senior, waa a force under the baa- ,
ket all game as he scored five
points, grabbed 10 rebounds and
blocked four shots. Kruachka led
the Patriots with 12 points, while
Facione and Herrera added nine
each.
Jurcisin's 15 points led the
Chargers. Mark Rutherford added ~
11, while Wiacek and Jason
Renkiewicz each added eight.
The loes left s sour taste in the
mouth of Lang, who wasn't
pleased with one statistic — the
Chargers were two for six at the •+
free throw line while, the Patriots -O
converted nine of their 15 foul -
shots.
"We didn't get to the free throw
line until late in the third quar-
ter," he said. "You can't tell me
all those blocks were clean. I'm .'
not saying the referees were bad,
but they let them play. And when
you let them play like that, the
big kids are the ones who will
benefit." m
Raiders rally in 4th to down Spartans
Farmington Hills Harrison
isn't the only boys basketball
team in Farmington that can
come back from huge deficits.
North Farmington staged an in-
credible comeback of its own
Thursday with a 66-63 victory
over visiting Livonia Stevenson.
.North, which trailed 40-17 at
halftime and 53-35 after three
quarters, outscored Stevenson 31-
10 in the fourth quarter to win the
Western Lakes Activities Associ-
ation game in unbelievable fash-
ion.
Paul Simpson's three-point
shot from the top of the key with
:01 left broke a 63-63 tie.
The comeback was reminiscent
of the one by Harrison on Jan. 26
when the Hawks rallied for 42
points in the fourth quarter to
erase a 16-point deficit and beat
Plymouth Salem, 95-94.
"I have .no explanation," North
coach Tom Negoshian said. "We
talked at halftime to play relaxed,
don't worry, have some ftin. There
was no raising voices. Maybe that
should be the halftime speech all
the time."
It was Senior Night at North
with it being the last home game,
and the seniors played a m^jor
role, scoring 23 of the 31 fourth-
quarter points.
Senior Chris Ward scored 14 of
his game-high 18 points in the
fourth quarter. Ward's basket
with about 40 seconds left tied
the score at 63.
Stevenson, which made four of
seven free throws in the fourth
quarter, missed a front end of a
one-and-one attempt in the last
minute. North got the rebound to
set up Simpson's winning shot.
Simpson, the smallest player
on the court at 5-foot-4, made two
other shots from three-point
range in the fourth quarter, and
finished with nine points.
"It was great for him, being a
senior," Negoshian said.
John Pennala added 14 points
for the Raiders.
The Raiders struggled in the
first half, falling behind 11-9 after
one quarter and getting outacored
29-8 in the second.
Stevenson was led by Kevin
Szcembara's 17 points. Brad Mor-
gan scored 16 and Adam Roy had
10.
• WESTERN 71, HARRISON 68:
Farmington Hills Harrison waited
»g»in until the second half to score
points in bunches Friday, but this
time it was too late.
The Hawks, who slipped to 7-2 in
the WLAA and 7-8 overall, trailed
15-10 after one quarter and 34-20 at
halftime.
Harrison rallied in the second
half, outscoring Western 23-14 in
the third quarter and 25-23 in the
fourth, but the Warriors held on for
their fourth win in nine WLAA
games. The Hawks made only nine
of 20 free throws.
Western improved to 6-9 overall.
"We overlooked this one," said
Harrison coach Mike Teach man,
whose team was coming off an upset
win at Westland John Glenn. "The
intensity wasn't there."
