BAY CITY — Hart Lee Dykes is
having the kind of year a high school
athlete dreams about.
The Bay City High School senior
has won mention in national publica
tions like Sports Illustrated and USA
Today and, more recently, spent
time in Washington to pick up an
award from the Washington Touch
down Club as the nation’s premier
male high school athlete.
There, he shared a table with Mi
ami Dolphin quarterback Dan Mar
ino and Los Angeles Ram running
back Eric Dickerson.
All these mind-reeling events in
one short year because:
• He has hands that can pluck a
spiraling pass from the air like an ea
gle uses talons to snatch prey.
• He has speed and agility de
spite his large 6-foot-5 frame.
• He is not only an athlete but a
scholar as well with a 3.6 grade point
average.
• He displays a rare natural tal
ent to excel in all sports.
His passion for playing sports is
the reason why he decided to pay for
his trip to receive his latest honor.
If the Armour-Dial Co. had
picked up the tab for the Washing
ton trip. Dykes would not have been
eligible to play for Bay City High
School for the rest of the year. But
he still has basketball and baseball to
play before closing the book on his
nigh school career.
Dykes felt honored to receive the
Dial trophy, but he was disappointed
he would oe missing his team’s bas
ketball game.
It seems he already has learned
that recognition is a double-edge
sword that can lay claim to his time.
He constantly has to contend with
college recruiters who are anxious to
place a pen in his hand. In fact, an
Oklahoma recruiter headed for
Dykes’ home bumped into him at the
airport as Dykes was heading for
Washington.
Dykes says he sometimes tells his
parents to tell phone inquiries that
he is not at home when the calls get
nerve wracking.
“At first it was exciting,” Dykes
said. “Now it’s kind of boring.”
His mother, Rita, said her son
could eliminate a lot of the pressure
if he could just tell some of them he
isn’t interested.
Dykes explained that the recent
publicity and the recruiting efforts
have not made him feel differently
about himself, however.
“I don’t feel I’m any better than
my teammates. Without them I
wouldn’t receive any awards,” Dvkes
said. The statement was not false
modesty, since his friends probably
are one of the reasons his> feet are
still planted firmly on the ground.
“If I would stay by myself and
read all about myself, I might start
believing it,” he said. “With me
hanging out with them, I don’t have
time to think about how good I am.”
But there’s no denying he is good
and Touchdown Club members
were anxious to meet him.
The club is made up of admitted
football fanatics who share a passion
for the Redskins as well as other
Washington-area teams. They throw
a five-hour banquet each year to
honor athletes from all sports.
This year, besides Dykes, others
honorecf were Dickerson, Marino,
New York Yankee outfielder Dave
Winfield, Los Angeles Ram quarter
back Jeff Kemp and tennis star Mar
tina Navratilova. In addition, the
club cited actor Burt Reynolds for
humanitarian contributions.
Afterwards, Dykes said he had no
idea he could have the opportunity
to meet such celebrities. The oppor
tunity to talk with them was a great
thrill.
Looking ahead, Dykes says he
hopes he can establish himself in col
lege as he has in high school. He
plans to pursue a business degree
while entertaining the possibility of
playing pro football.
“My dream, that I hope will come
true, is to get drafted in the first or
second round (by the National Foot
ball League),” he said.

Official hit by shot put
to get $97,261 from UT
Associated Press
AUSTIN — A volunteer track official who was struck in the head by a
16-pound shot at the 1980 NCAA Track and Field Championships in Aus
tin has been awarded $97,261 by a jury for injuries he suffered in the inci
dent.
James P. Smith sued the University of Texas, Texas track coach Cle
burne Price and John Drolla Jr., supervisor of the shot-put competition, for
negligence in their handling of the event.
After the jury award on Wednesday, Smith said, “I was very pleased
with the decision. Obviously, I thought it was the right one.”
“It took 4 i / 2 years to get my case to court, and it’s a pleasure to have it
over with and to be vindicated.”
Price said, “I think the man was negligent. He wasn’t watching where he
was supposed to. He could have been killed. He’s very fortunate to be alive,
but I really didn’t think they’d give him all he asked for.”
During warmups in the shot put at the NCAA meet on June 6, 1980, a
shot thrown by Tim Scott of Texas A&M struck Smith in the forehead. He
underwent a four-hour operation to repair a fracture in the frontal sinus
area and another operation for a broken upper jaw.
