THE DETROIT MACCABI CLUB and A 11111111• ■ i THE JEWISH COMMUNITY CENTER Almov invite Dana Dobransky Vaults To Alabama MIKE ROSENBAUM Sports Writer W orld-class gymnast Dana Dobransky has received a full scholarship to attend the University of Alabama. Dobransky, a senior at Sterling Heights High School, visited three other schools, the universities of Utah, Florida and Georgia, before choosing Alabama, last year's NCAA women's gym- nastics champion. Dobransky enjoyed the Tuscaloosa campus. "I felt really, really comfortable with all the girls (on the gym- nastics team), with the coaches, with the at- mosphere." She was also im- pressed by the school's com- munications program. "They really stress academics, which is really im- portant," she added. Dobransky, the 1985 gym- nastics champion at the World Maccabiah Games, is making plans to defend her ti- tle. But she does not know if she will have a scheduling conflict with the April 22-23 national tryout dates. She also hopes to regain a spot on the U.S. gymnastics team. She will go to the zone competition at Sylvania, Ohio, April 7-8. If she qualifies, she will go on to the U.S. Classic in Oakland, Calif., then to the U.S.A. Championships, where the national team will be selected. ❑ Maccabi Names '90 Committees The Detroit Maccabi Club has announced the volunteer chairmen for the 1990 North American Maccabi Youth Games.

Hoffman Wraps Record ,Season North Farmington High school basketball guard Matt Hoffman set three school records in his junior season. Hoffman, who averaged 17.2 points per game, set single- game records with 40 points against Plymouth Salem and 15 assists against Livonia Churchill. He also set a season mark by averaging 7.2 assists per game. Hoffman averaged 3.5 steals and 3.2 re- bounds per contest. He hit 40 percent of both his two-point and three-point floor shots and 70 percent of his free throws. Hoffman earned All- Western Lakes Activities Association honors for the se- cond season. He will likely earn more honors as area newspapers announce various all-star teams. North Farmington coach Tom Negoshian altered Hoff- man's role this season, look- ing for him to be the floor leader while shooting less. "He's a true point guard," says Negoshian. "We're hop- ing that as next year ap- proaches — because we played all underclassmen — we're hoping that he can just assume that role instead of having to score so much. That's why he is being recruited, because he is a true point guard. He is being recruited by some Division 2 (colleges) and a couple of Divi- sion ls. What kind of summer he has will dictate, more than likely, where he's going to be recruited."
