Jim Middleton of Marion and Maxine Foster of Anna defend their Southern Illinoisan Bowling Classic titles at the SI Bowl near Carterville. Qualifying rounds begin at 4 and 7 pm with eight top scorers advancing to playoffs Monday.
Southern Illinois University Carbondale coach Rey Dempsey conceded a coaching blunder in the Maroon White spring game. The Whites rallied for a 16 14 victory after a late defensive miscue by Maroon, with Rich Williams throwing the decisive 20 yard TD pass to Mike O Day.
Ted Brodzik of Tulsa sank a 10-foot birdie on the final hole at Rend Lake to win the Missouri Valley Conference individual title and secure the Valley team championship for Tulsa. Wichita State, led by Greg Kopf, pushed hard but finished one stroke back as SIU Carbondale faltered to seventh.
Saluki freshman Mark Young, a Petersburg native and former Illinois Class A champ, rose from 11th at Rend Lake to finish tied for 10th with a 300, earning Missouri Valley Conference all conference honors by a narrow margin. Tulsa coach Art Romero, a Tulsa senior, shot 304, while SIUC faced mixed rounds and a 320 opening day as coach Jim Reburn noted a disappointing finish.
Brodzik expressed surprise at nearly missing the win, noting a near miss on the 17th hole and a long birdie putt. Kopf matched with birdies on 16 and 17 as the Shockers held on, Brodzik finishing bogey-par after a tense moment.
