The Eagles slipped to 0-Kari Elggren paced UVSC with 15 kills while Erin Heers had nine. Tennille Upham eight and Jessica Arnold seven. Arnold also hit .636. Amanda McKay, Melanie Strong and Lorie Williams led the Eagles 15-1- 0. 8. 2-- 5. with eight kills each. "This is no longer a team of stars," said UVSC coach Lori Richards. "It's just workers doing their jobs." The Wolverines led game one from the outset, taking 0 and 2 leads quickly as Elggren picked up a before couple of her kills. The Eagles closed to Elggren served three points to help UVSC pull away. She added a couple more kills while Krista Charles had a blc k and a kill for two of the Wolverines' final three points. UVSC jumped to a 1 lead in the second game, but Eastern Utah closed to 5 as McKay had a pair.of kills. But. Amy Gentry's serv ice ace started UVSC on a blue-coll- ar 7-- 4-- 9-- 7 4-- 5-- six-poi- nt run while also included an ace by Charles and kills CARDS: by Upham and Brandi Willden. From there, the Wolverines advanced slowly, leading 13-- 8 before several long rallies and numerous side outs. They finished the game on an Eagle error and Arnold's kill. Eastern Utah jumped to a 1 lead in the opening 3-- moments of the third game as UVSC had some hitting problems. The teams stayed close until the Eagles pulled away on kills from Williams and McKay and a pair by Diana Tobiasson gave CEU an 6 lead. However, Upham pulled the Wolverines together thereafter and served the final nine points of the game. She got kills from Charles and Brenda Richan and two from Elggren to finish off the match. "This reminded me of Rocky," said Richards. "We just have a bunch of players who love the game." Richards noted that starter Amanda Bigeiow was out with an injury and she played Upham sparingly in an effort to keep her healthy. "We're winning with subs and that's good," she said. "It's hard to establish momentum when you're running so 11-- many people on and off the floor. So, it was nice to come and win in three w ith starters on the bench." Tonight the Wolverines entertain Dixie in the Activity Center at 7 p.m. The Rebels are 0 in league play. 'Tomorrow will be big," Richards said. "Dixie's goal in life is to beat UV. I'm not even sure they care more about winning a region championship than beating us." UVSC will entertain Snow at p.m. Saturday. 2-- 1 third baseman Chipper Jones' throwing error.

And of the five slams hit in the NL playoffs, two have come off Maddux, odd because he's allowed only one in 2,365 3 innings in regular season games. "You don't really have that many innings in the postseason, so maybe the numbers look inflated." Maddux said. Maddux had been 0 with an 0.79 ERA in his last eight starts against the Cardinals.

"It recruiting has taken a lot of time. Sou have no idea how much time." In the background at Burgess home, an impressive 7,000 square-foo- t layout in affluent Irvine, you can hear fax machines, computer and telephones beckoning family attention. One of the biggest obstacles BYU faces in luring top recruits to Provo is one focal point of why Burgess included the Cougars. While "those Mormons" tend to S recruits and scare away is used against the Cougars, Burgess is a devout member of the LDS Church. The player, his parents and friends acknowledge BYU can provide a spiritual to fit his needs atmosphere unmatched any w here else. "He wants to go to a program where he can make an immediate impact, make a difference and prepare himself for the future," said Sandi, whose upbeat, bubbly, positive-minded, onstage professional singing background make her marketing abilities on par with Anthony Robbins, Tom Hopkins and Mary Kay. She could talk a toad into becoming a prince. When young Chris was in the fifth grade, he first tried playing basketball and couldn't make a shot. In tears, he told his mother he'd never play again. "I told him he couldn't quit, he just needed to practice," remembers Sandi, who then turned to her husband who has since coached or arranged for instruction the past 10 years. "The next time he played, he made every basket the team scored." Since that time. Ken has taken Chris all over the country to camps and hired private coaches including the late Des Blood (tutor of Michael Smith), Dave Hoopla (shooting coach for Sonics, Nets and Clippers), Chris Dudley of the Clippers, Phil Webber and NBA power forward (L.A. Clippers) Loy Vaught. The young star transformed himself from a soccer player into a potential first round draft pick right now. One of Chris' most impressive features is his workout habits. "While others are having fun on the 4th of July, Chris lifts weights, shoots and trains all summer. He trains and works out outside of his Woodbridge team, before and after practice. "His workouts with Vaught are monster workouts. Chris goes for more than through three and an hour. They go Chris, often times, will more than hold his own w ith Vaught. By the time he gets home he is dead tired."

"A lot of people don't know we're legitimate competitors." 3-- COUGARS: (Continued from Page CI) redshirt freshman has 1,547 yards passing in six games and has great mobility.

BYU's divisional crossover game this year is at Hawaii. one-on-o- increasing weight and reducing fat. And things have changed since that tearful fifth grade experience. On volunteer trips to BYU, Utah and Duke last winter, Chris arrived in Durham, N.C., (Duke University) the morning of the North Carolina-Duk- e game. He a student up picked paper and he was featured. Duke students who camped out for tickets overnight in a sort of tent city had "Burgess" posters pinned to their enclaves. During the game, the entire student body stood up and chanted "We want Burgess, we want Burgess, we want Burgess." "You can imagine the impact that has on a kid," said Sandi. Growing up, Chris has always liked Duke. He was stunned one center Cheroevening when kee Parks called him on the phone and asked: "What's up Chris?" ex-Du- From there, recruiting has been warfare. In July's evaluation period, coaches from all over the country traveled from Los Angeles to Germany to watch Burgess play in games. When home visits began in September, Sandi, an expert in sales presentations, couldn't help taking mental notes of how each school did. Kansas' Roy Williams was the most impressive general human Duke's Mike being. Krzyzewski could impressively back up anything about Duke with facts, figures and players. But Kentucky's Rick Pitino "was by far the most impressive." Unfolding a flip chart. Pitino detailed every aspect of Burgess' future schedule from classes, practices, travel, social life and even location of his apartment to the local LDS church around the corner. "I kept thinking, 'I've got to remember how he did this,'" said Sandi. Pitino virtually promised Burgess he would make him a d draft pick. He'd done it before, three first rounders last year (No. 6 Antoine Walker to Boston, No. 16 Tony Delk to Charlotte and Walter McCarty to New York at No. 19). So, one may ask, how do the Cougars stack up against the likes all-st- ar first-roun- f other giants? Well, better than one may think. Lute Olsen and Arizona were out because the Wildcats are a party school. UCLA's atmosphere and location are not all that appealing in Westwood and the Bruins are under NCAA investigation this week for a car purchase by the sister of recruit Baron Davis, Chris' good friend. That leaves Kentucky and Duke for the Cougars to battle. On a recent business trip to Sandi was overLexington, whelmed by the attention given to Wildcat basketball by newspapers, TVs and radio and fans donned in When one of Kentucky her business partners, a Kentucky fan, asked Sandi if Chris had made a college choice and she answered no, Pitino called the Burgess home within 15 minutes of that informal discussion and jumped in the recruiting fray late summer. "Pitino is like a god back there," said Sandi, impressed. One summer experience that made a major impact on Burgess is S Franklin with an team. made "Chris Quest some friends off and on the court that have remained very special to him. He's played with all kinds of basket- playing all-st- ar ball players, but he especially enjoyed these guys who had similar backgrounds and values," said Sandi . During the NIKE tournament this summer. Burgess had "an astounding performance in camp games, even though some of his teammate stars began sabotaging Chris' game by not "-- 1 passing him the ball. unnerved That experience Burgess. With the Franklin Quest team, teamwork was sublime. At Kentucky or Duke, while LDS institutes are readily available, neither campus can match BYU in terms of a complete Mormon experience. "He'd have to push himself hard to maintain a spiritual regime at those schools," said Sandi. . That issue, as this year passes, yauited the Cougars from an also-ra- n in recruiting to one of the top five. ; Other factors crept in. Ken, Sandi and Chris have told Duke and Kentucky coaches a top priority is spiritual growth and continued religious progress since a possible early NBA career may postpone an LDS mission until later in life and NBA lifestyles are not conducive to spirituality. Chris' older brother Beri,, a missionary in Guatemala called home for Christmas 1995 and the first words he told his family? "Chris has to go to BYU. He just has to. I went to Ricks arid, t changed my life. Chris tieed; BYU." Elder Ben Burgess may be Chris' biggest fan. ," Arguably his real No. 1 fan is his sister Angela, who is 17 months older and has served as the shy Chris' unofficial spokesperson since their toddler years. Currently the 6--4 starting center at an Oregon junior college, Angela is expected to sign to play at BYU when the date comes in November. Angela, Chris, Sandi and Ken made the Provo trip together. If a BYU player, Burgess could have an immediate impact on and off the court for himself, coach Roger Reid's rebuilt team w ith a Top 15 recruiting class, in 1995, and the vision of university President Merrill Jay Bateman and Athletic Director Rondo Fehlberg to recruit the best Mormon athletes, opening doors for missionary work worldwide by producing Top 20 NCAA teams. President (Elder) Bateman is a second cousin to Ken. Chris Burgess has two uncles (Andrew and James) who live in Alpine and an aunt in Lindon, all siblings of Ken, a graduate of BYU. Ken and Sandi used to live on Main Street in North Orem. Ben, Angela and Chris have said they'd like to live in Utah some day. That floored Sandi, who just built their home in Irvine. "So why did we build this house?" Sandi likes the 75 degree Orange County daily weather. But Sandi did sing with the Tabernacle Choir and Ralph Woodward Choral. While Pitino told Burgess he shouldn't play with or against average players, at BYU, Burgess would face future NBA draftees Kenny Thomas (New Mexico), Brittan Johnsen (Utah), Fresno State's Tremaine Fowlkes, Avondre Jones, Melvin Ely and recent commitee Compton's Kenny Brunner, not to mention UNLV's possible NBA roster. "I told Chris to get a preseasOfi magazine and see who are on those WAC teams," said Ken. 22 Two of Chris' best friends frw the Franklin Quest summer Dastrup of Timpview and Mekeli Wesley of Provo High?jW-hav- e mingled in Provo and Irvftie this summer. "I've already ujld Chris he can stay with me at our house if he comes," said Dastrup. "I think he should come to BYU," he said. "I definitely think BYU has a great chance at Chris," echoed Wesley Wednesday night. Every card will be on the table in the next 30 days. The war for Burgess is not over, but one battle in Provo began today. ; seven-bedroo- m tearrt'-r?-Dust- y p I I |
