Name: Randy Cross Pro Team SF 49ers College Team: UCLA High School Crespi Carmelite First, thank you for giving me the time. I will go back to when you played high school football. What is the fondest memory you have of those days? I enjoyed playing defense and being able to dominate my side. In high school, I didn’t much care for playing offense. What made you choose UCLA? I grew up a fan. Besides UCLA, what other schools recruited you? USC, Nebraska, Alabama, Texas, and Notre Dame What was the game you remember the most from your time at UCLA, and then the game that you wish you could forget? Beating #1 Ohio State in the Rose Bowl. Losing to USC my sophomore year Who were some of the best players you played with and against in college? Mark Harmon, John Sciarra, Wally Henry, Wendell Tyler, James McCallister, Kermit Johnson, Fulton Kuykendal, Jimmy Allen, Cliff Frazier, Manu Tuiasosopo, Jerry Robinson, Gary Jeter, Chuck Muncie, and Dave Pear Growing up in Ohio long before cable, the USC/UCLA game was always on TV. What are your fondest memories from those games? Obviously, the wins were the highlights, led by the 65+75 games. You were the 42nd player taken in the draft (2nd round). What were your emotions like on that day, waiting to have your name called? Apprehensive and excited How nervous were you at the first practice being surrounded by guys like Jim Plunkett, Gene Washington, and all of the other veterans? Pretty excited, actually. Then we went out to practice to face one of the best defenses in the NFL, the Gold Rush. What was it like to start 10 games during that rookie year? It was. An honor When you made the move from center to guard, how tough was that, along with why the move was made? Bill Walsh wanted to run an offense featuring pulling guards, and I could run. It was a compliment I intended on following through on. 1982 Super Bowl Champions: As a Cowboys lifetime fan, I still cringe every time I see "THE CATCH." What do you remember about that play? How high Dwight jumped, and then the utter bedlam that followed. What was the feeling heading into the Super Bowl? How confident were you and the team heading into that game? It was truly just the next game and challenge. Who was the better team that year? The Cowboys or the Bengals? Probably the Cowboys How hard was it to decide you were retiring for the NFL? It was hard, but I had always told myself the last thing I’d do was just hold on to squeeze out 1-2 more years. Plus, it gave me the chance to go out on top. Can you tell the fans what you have done since leaving the game? I’ve been doing TV and radio since 1989, the first 20 years of the NFL, and since then, CFB.

Work and the gym

TV: Northwestern At Purdue Online: American at Lafayette

Brock Purdy just showed every owner out there that you do not have to waste a number one pick on a quarterback.

The better team won and you can never count P.M. out even with bad receivers.

Double workout, Laundry, and fill the tank up.

Texas High School Football Byron Nelson Vs South Lake Carroll

In another game that I watched today though the score does not show it Tennessee (15-4, 5-1 SEC) had to work hard to top in-state rival Vandy (5-14, 0-6 conf) on the road. Dalton Knecht (Thornton, CO) was a man playing against boys tonight. He went off for 32 points, 6 boards, 3 assists, and 3 blocks. Jonas Aldo0 (Durham, NC) had 10 boards to go with 9 points. For Vandy, Tyrin Lawrence (Monticello, GA) had 21 points, 8 boards, 3 assists, and 2 steals.

Have to admit Iowa (12-8, 4-5 Big) made my college basketball night by adding another loss to Michigan's (7-13, 2-7 conf) slate. Iowa was 100% from the free throw line going 18-18. They hit 8-16 from beyond the three-point arch for 50% and overall they hit 53.4% of their shots. Leading the way to the road win was, Payton Sandfort (Waukee, IA) 26 points, 6 boards, and 3 assists. His top helper was Tony Perkins (Indianapolis, IN) 24 points with 5 assists. For the team up North, Terrance Williams II (Clinton, MD) had 16 points.

The WAC is not what it once was but it is still a fun conference to watch and this one did not disappoint. The Lopes (19-2, 9-1 conf) came from double digits down late to pick up the road win over the Mavericks (9-11, 4-5 conf). The Lopes overcame an ice-cold 21.1% from beyond the three-point arc by hitting 31-36 free throws. Leading the way in the win was, Ray Harrison (Greenville, SC) with 16 points and a game-high 4 steals. For UT Arlington, they hit 36.5% from the field with, Dajuan Gordon (Chicago, IL) leading the way with a double-double 13 points and 10 boards. He also had 3 steals.

Towson (13-8, 6-2 CAA) hit the road and picked up a big conference win over a struggling but always-tough at-home Delaware (12-9, 4-4 conf) squad. Towson owned the boards 44-31 though they were outshot by the home team 39.1% to 37.3%. Clearing the path for the win was Christian May (Edinburg, VA) with 23 points and 8 boards. His biggest help came from the bench where Dylan Williamson (Upper Marlboro, MD) stuck for 16 points about nine over his season average. For the Blue Hens, Jyare Davis (Newark, DE) was the lone bright sport with 18 points and 5 boards.

The Phoenix (14-9, 9-3 Horizon) held serve at home beating Detroit (0-22, 0-11 conf) by fourteen points. Starting slow but ending better was enough for the home team, who hit 46.7% of their shots. Noah Reynolds (Peoria, IL) had a game-high 34 points in the win. He added 6 boards, 5 assists, and 3 steals to his slate. Coming off the bench to add 24 points was, David Douglass Jr. (Yorkville, IL). For winless Detroit, Jayden Stone (Perth, WA) had 20 points, 7 boards, and 4 assists to lead the way.

Lehigh (6-13, 3-5 Patriot) was able to eke out the conference win over Holy Cross (5-16, 2-6 conf) this afternoon. Hitting 48.2% of their shots compared to 46.6 from the Crusaders. Burke Chebuhar (Marietta, GA) poured in 20 points adding 10 boards to lead the march in the win. Tyler Whitney-Sidney (Somerville, MA) added 19 points and 2 assists. For Holy Cross, Joe Octave (Gardena, CA) had 20 points and 6 boards.

A double workout and then two errands then, it's home to be lazy.

The Redhawks (12-8, 5-4 WAC) survived a last-second miss by Utah Valley (9-11, 4-5 conf) to escape with the one-point win. Cameron Tyson (Bothell, WA) led the winners with 16 points. Teammate, Brandton Chatfield (Orofino, I'd) recorded a double-double 12 points and 10 boards. Alex Schumacher (Vancouver, WA) aided in the cause with 15 points and 2 steals.

The Bobcats (10-10, 4-4 MAC) climbed back to .500 with a nice road win over Kent State (10-10, 3-5 conf). The winners hit 44.8% of their shots while the home team hit at a 42.4% clip. Jaylin Hunter (Manchester, CT) led Ohio with 17 points, 5 boards, and 5 assists. Shereef Mitchell (Omaha, NE) added 16 points and 5 assists.
