After a tight first quarter, Springville took control in the second period and the beginning of the thirs as it outscored the Leopards 27-- 6 during the run. "It was awesome," Warner ' Ashley Kroneberger ' Springville junior gled with fouls and turnovers. Not only did the Red Devil defense make it tough for the Leopards but Kroneberger always seemed to come up with a big shot when Springville needed a boost.

At Fort Myers, Fla., Red Sox center fielder Coco Crisp is prepared to talk to Boston management about a trade if it appears he will not win back his starting job taken by rookie Jacoby in the postseason. The Crisp started 145 games last year and played outstanding defense in his second season with Boston. But after hitting .182 in the first eight postseason games, he was replaced by the Ellsbury, who started the season at Double-- Portland. "I would honestly rather be somewhere else and play than be on the bench," Crisp said. "But I'll take whatever comes and deal with it and no knock against Boston. I love the fans.
