South solves Eisenhower's gimmick By Chuck Klonke Sports EdItor
Any success Grosse Pointe South's basketball team is gomg to have 10 the state tournament depends on how the rest of the squad responds when the Blue DeVIls' opponents throw gImmIck defenses at Adam Hess "We're gOing to see a lot of gImmIcks because if teams play Adam man-to-man he's lIable to score 30 or 40 pomts," saId coach George Petrouleas after South spht a paIr of Macomb Area Conference Red DIVISIOngames last week ChIppewa Valley beat the
Blue DeVIls 54-45 to chnch the MAC Red tItle but South bounced back Fnday WIth a 6249 VICtoryagaInst EIsenhower In both games, Hess receIved speCIal attention but South did a better Job of handling It agamst the Eagles. "We stIll have some thmgs we have to work on before we play In the tournament, but we dId a much better job of executing our offense agamst EIsenhower," Petrouleas saId. "A lot of people stepped up "Sometimes (EIsenhower) would run two and three people at hIm but Adam dId a good job of distnbutmg the ball "
Hess still managed to score 18 pomts and also collected eIght rebounds, SIXasSIStS and two steals III a fine all-around effort HIS support came from Adam Novak, who had 14 points, seven rebounds and four aSSists, whIle Adam Budday added 11 pomts and three assIsts "Budday played a mce game," Petrouleas saId "He was real steady on the court Anthony Watts scored four pomts, grabbed a few rebounds and IntImIdated them InSIde. Jeff See ran mto some foul trouble but he was aggressIve
and solid" South led from start to fimsh agaInst EIsenhower, holdmg a 39-25 halftIme advantage. The Eagles made a second-half run that cut the margIn to five pomts but the Blue Devils WIthstood that charge The ChIppewa Valley game was a dIrect contrast to the first meetmg between the two diVISIOnnvals South's defense dommated the Big Reds and the Blue DeVIls posted a 65-42 VIctOry ThIS tIme South's offense was the one that sputtered the See SOUTH, page 4C

It didn't take long for the Knights to break the tIe C T Thurber took a pass from Ryan Schafer on a 2-on-1 break and scored at 531 Less than two minutes later, Borushko scored hiS second goal of the game, JammIng the puck In from the edge of the crease to gIve ULS a 3-1 lead at 7.19 The Knights contmued to apply pressure and mcreased their lead to 4-1 With 48 seconds left m the second penod Vllhard stopped CharlIe Keersmaekers' backhand attempt but Schafer pounced on the rebound and lIfted It over the Falcons' netmmder N either team scored m the third penod as the ULS defense and goahe Jay MInger were exceptIOnally strong "We been domg a lot of work With the defense and they've seemed to Jell lately," Barry SaId "We're usmg only five defensemen (Stacheckl, Tony Bologna, Robby Thiel, Jordan Materna and Jeff Brown) but they're m such good condition they're playmg lIke we're 10 deep "Jay has Improved 100 percent smce the begInmng of the season. I thmk he has a lot of confidence In himself and the guys In front of him" Barry agreed that Stacheckl's check m the first penod was a key moment In the game "That was a game turner," the coach said "I warned our defense that their guys were gOIng to hit us but we stayed With our game plan and that was to put pressure on them With our speed " Keersmaekers had two aSSists, while Bologna, Schafer, Kurt Niemi, Nick Maitland and Thurber picked up one apiece The Knights reached the
regIonal champIOnship game With a 4-1 VIctOry over Notre Dame m a contest that was much closer than the final score mdlCates. The Insh, who lost tWice to ULS In the Michigan Prep Hockey League, took a 1-0 lead at 4 54 ofthe first penod when Nick Kelly backhanded a rebound over a fallen Mmger That was the only goal allowed by Mmger, who made 17 saves, mcludmg a good one on a hard shot by defenseman Anthony Krese With ULS clingIng to a 2-1 lead With about SIX mmutes left m the game A few minutes earher he stopped a breakaway attempt by Chns Vettese after a turnover m the Knights' zone NIemi tied the game at 3 08 of the second penod when he forced a turnover at the blue lme, skated m alone on goalIe Bnan Karapuz and beat him With a slIck move. The Knights had several excellent sconng opportumtIes m the final five mInutes of the second period, but ULS either shot Wide or Karapuz came up With a sp~ctacular save to keep the gafne deadlocked The best effort by the 5-foot4 netmmder came when he robbed Maitland on a shot from the slot With two-tenths of a second left In the penod Keersmaekers finally broke the tIe ""hen he took a pass from Wardwell and shot the puck between Karapuz~ pads at 1 53 of the thIrd penod It remamed 2-1 until Thurber beat Karapuz With a high wnst shot from the nght faceoff Circle at 12'48. Stacheckl aSSisted on the goal Borushko completed the sconng With an empty-net goal With 24 seconds left. Notre Dame fimshed the season With a 6-18-1 record

same area, possibly a third time, until it looks clean. Part of the multiple applications is to let the TSP loosen up the dirt, the other part is to let the bleach soak into cracks and crevices and disinfect any spores, fungi and such. After phase two, I would be tempted to use Pine Power or Lysol on the walls and floors for a final disinfectant. This should leave the basement smelling nice by now. Then use Odors Away, SmellsB-Gone or Febreeze and spray lib~ er-ally .up on the floor joists and everywhere you weren't able to mop and wash. These products react with odor-eausing molecules and breaks them down. They don't mask the smell, they eliminate it. Another tried-and-true
smell
elimin.1tor is to rent or buy an ozone air purifier. Let the purifier run in the basement for a couple days. The extra oxygen atom from the ozone attaches itself to the stink molecule and breaks it down to simpler, not stinky, molecule. These work so well for us we rent them with a money~back guarantee and have yet to get a request for a refund. All this just makes one want to
go out and get a puppy, not!
