Sports Headlines for Saturday, Sept. 18, 1999
P A U L D A U G H E R T Y C O L U M N
As person, Casey has the bloodlines
PITTSBURGH — Jim Casey grew up in Sayville, N.Y. I know Sayville. It's a working-class town on the south shore of Long Island, an hour from Manhattan, where kids earned summer money delivering papers and digging clams.
R E D S B A S E B A L L
Cardinals 11, Astros 8
ST. LOUIS — Mark McGwire's grand slam was the first of three consecutive home runs for St. Louis in a nine-run fourth inning as the Cardinals spoiled Jose Lima's bid for a 21st victory with an 11-8 win over the Houston Astros on Friday night.
Phillies 8, Mets 5
NEW YORK — Rookie Randy Wolf snapped an eight-game losing streak and struck out a career-high 11 Friday night as the Philadelphia Phillies beat the New York Mets 8-5.
REDS NOTEBOOK
Pokey Reese returned to the Reds' starting lineup Friday night, sore back and all.
B E N G A L S
Bengals throwing scalpers for loss
You charge what the market will bear. And for Bengals tickets, it's a bear market.
Bengals an NFL bargain
It might hurt to watch the Bengals lose, but as NFL teams go, there's not much pain in the pocketbook.
Bengals' ambidextrous punter leads league
New Bengals punter Will Brice admits he is odd, even in the skewed fraternity of football kickers.
BENGALS NOTEBOOK
The Bengals offense has some precedent for playing well versus the Chargers this Sunday, having beaten San Diego 38-31 in the teams' last meeting on Nov.2, 1997, at Cinergy Field.
C O L L E G E F O O T B A L L
Big, bad Badgers in town
What makes Wisconsin so imposing as a guest at Nippert Stadium is not that the Badgers are ranked No.8 in the nation. Losing to such a team would be a lot less painful for the Cincinnati Bearcats than losing to a Division I-AA opponent.
Bucks say they won't discount OU
COLUMBUS — Ohio State players said all the right things this week. They talked of watching heavily favored Penn State almost lose to weaker Pittsburgh last Saturday, and they know nothing's certain in college football.
RedHawks kicking into overdrive
While talking to his offensive unit this week, Terry Hoeppner used a race-car analogy.
UK looking to add passion to its play
BLOOMINGTON, Ind. — The heart of Kentucky's offense is in the right place. It's just the soul that's missing.
Bethune-Cookman, Howard play here
The main draw of this weekend's inaugural River Front Classic & Jamboree is today's football game between historical black colleges Bethune-Cookman and Howard University.
U C B A S K E T B A L L
UC recruit out of prep school, back home

H I G H S C H O O L S
Elder 35, Highlands 14

Beechwood 26, CovCath 0
FORT MITCHELL, Ky. — The Northern Kentucky-record 38-game winning streak was gone, victimized last year in the state semifinals at Middlesboro. Then went a 28-game regular-season streak, vanishing in an upset loss last week at Newport.
LaSalle 23, Oak Hills 16
LaSalle's visit Friday to Oak Hills turned out to be the kind of up-in-the-air game that can make or break a season.
Purcell-Marian 26, Badin 13
HAMILTON — One running back was ill, but not enough to be sidelined.
Indian Hill 28, Mariemont 0
Nick Janning completed eight-of-15 passes for 221 yards to spark an upset of previously unbeaten Mariemont.
Lakota East 28, Sycamore 25
Mike Rabin scored on a 23-yard run on fourth and two with five minutes to play.
Lexington Henry Clay 21, Ryle 14
In its first season in Class AAAA football, Ryle has moved immediately into the state's hierarchy. But it missed a shot at a big upset Friday.
