jor, he plans to go to law school. "Jared took courses at Oakland Community College to give him a head start on his collegiate aca- demics," Johnson said. 'That tells me he has his head on straight and his priorities are in the proper order." Armand Molino, director of tennis at the Sports Club of West Bloomfield, has coached Miller for seven years, helping him earn national rankings in the United States Tennis Association (USTA). Molino says Miller is a winner on and off the court. "Jared is polite and friendly, and always willing to lend a help- ing hand," Molino said. "He is a role model for the young players at our club. He often takes time out from his schedule to work with them." Fried, a 6-foot, 178-pounder, suffered his knee injury during the seventh game of Berkley's nine-game schedule last fall, but he still was named a Class AA-A All-Stater by the Associated Press. A starter for Berkley since he was a sophomore, Fried ended up making 200 tackles in 22 career games. He played free safety ; running back, wide receiver and quarter- back during his high school days and he also was a place-kicker, punt and kickoff return man and long snapper. Before hurting his knee, Fried scored touchdowns last season by rushing, receiving and intercep- tion return. He also threw for two TDs as a quarterback and he passed for and received two-point conversions. Fried was the starting point guard for the Berkley boys bas- ketball team as a sophomore and junior, but the injury forced him to sit out his senior season. "I have coached over 500 ath- letes and none have equaled Ryan's desire to be a champion," said Berkley football coach Pat Fox. ❑ 4-0n-4 At The JCC A 4-on-4 basketball tournament for boys ages 13-18 will be held Sept. 24 at the Maple/Drake Jew- ish Community Center.
