A smooth fielding shortstop, Evans is giving up the sport at the end of this high school season. The senior made that decision official Wednesday night when she signed a national letter of in- tent to play women's collegiate basketball for the Toreros. Evans has been an all-league pick in her previous two years on the softball diamond, but her love for the game of basketball has grown to the point that she choose hoops over softball and volleyball. It was a decision her high school coach, Nancy Acer- rio, expected. "I believe she's stronger in softball," said Acerrio. "She's a natural, but she likes a challenge. Basketball is something she has to work real hard at." The player agreed. "Everything just fell into place," said Evans. "Playing softball just got old. I'm burned out on softball. I've been playing it since I was eight years old. "When I started taking basket- ball seriously I fell in love with the sport. I made my decision at the end of last summer. "I like the challenge of basket- ball. It was a new sport to me and I had a lot of improving to do and I still do. I think you put more of your athletic ability into playing basketball." Evans was first team Star- News All-Metro for two straight years in volleyball and basket- ball. She was selected this past year as the South Bay League coaches' "Co-player of the Year."

Esr. 1888 Roberts accepts USDscholarship An{f-Z,Z~ a former All-Grossmont League foot- ball and baseball star at El Capitan, has signed a national letter of intent to the llnivecsity of Sao Diego. He selected USD over a field that included San Diego State and Pepperdine. "USO had more to offer all the way around," said Roberts, who is finishing up his senior year at Claire- mont High. "Academics is the most important thing I looked for . And I think I would benefit more having a diploma from USO than some of the other schools." The 6--foot, 170-pound Roberts, who has earned All- Wt>stern League honors in both football and baseball during his 1½ years at Clairemont, said he'll confine his talents exclusively to ba 11 at USO. "I'm all through with football," he said. "The last two games of my senior year convinced me. I hurt my back in the kidney area during the last regular-season game against Kearny and left the field in an ambulance. I recovered in time for our playoff game against Crawford. I broke my collarbone in that game. "Anyway, I'm excited about the thought of being able to concentrate on just one sport. I've never done that before."
