OTHER ATHLETE BIOGRAPHIES    Ty Detmer - Texas    Ty Detmer lettered in five sports (football, basketball, baseball, golf and track) at Southwest High School in San Antonio, Texas, from 1983 to 1986, but his football performances gained him state and national headlines. Playing quarterback for his father, Sonny, Detmer passed for 8,005 yards, which included a one-season best of 3,551 yards as a junior.    Detmer completed 506 of 910 passes, including 71 touchdowns in his high school career, and registered 557 yards passing in one game. He earned All-America and Texas Player of the Year honors in football as a senior, and he was an all-state selection in baseball.    Detmer's collegiate football career was even more phenomenal. As a quarterback at Brigham Young University, Detmer won the Heisman Trophy in 1990 as a junior and was third in the voting in 1991. He set 59 NCAA records, including most touchdown passes (121), most yards passing (15,031), most completions (958), most attempts (1,530) and most yards total offense (14,653). In a game against San Diego State as a senior, Detmer passed for 599 yards and six touchdowns.    Detmer was a two-time winner of the Davey O'Brien Award as the nation's top quarterback, and he was a two-time All-America selection as well. In 1990, he received the Maxwell Award as the nation's top college football player.    At the professional level, Detmer has played for six teams during his 13-year NFL career. Currently a member of the Atlanta Falcons, Detmer's best season was with the Philadelphia Eagles in 1996 when he completed 238 of 401 passes for 2,911 yards and 15 touchdowns. For his career, Detmer has passed for 6,351 yards and 34 touchdowns. In addition to Philadelphia and Atlanta, Detmer has played for Green Bay, San Francisco, Cleveland and Detroit.    Sean Elliott - Arizona    Long before he was helping the San Antonio Spurs win the 1999 NBA championship, Sean Elliott was one of the brightest basketball stars in Arizona schoolboy history. As a senior at Cholla High School in Tucson in the 1984-85 season, Elliott scored 844 points and averaged 31.3 points per game to help his team to a 24-3 record and a semifinal berth in the state tournament. Both marks were single-season records at that time in Arizona's Class 5A (large class).    Elliott was a two-time selection to the Arizona Super All-State team and was selected Arizona's high school player of the year in 1985. He was selected to Arizona's 20th Century Super Seven team and made four All-America teams (McDonald's, Converse, adidas and Basketball Times). The gymnasium at Cholla High School is named after Elliott.    Elliott then played four years for Lute Olson at the University of Arizona (1986-89) and helped the Wildcats to four consecutive NCAA playoff berths, including one Final Four in 1988. He is the school's all-time leading scorer with 2,555 points, good for a 19.2 points-per-game average. He left Arizona as the Pacific-10 Conference's all-time leading scorer, though that mark has since been eclipsed. Elliott was a two-time, first-team All-America selection by the Associated Press, and he was chosen National Player of the Year for the 1988-89 season.    Success continued for Elliott during his 12-year professional career. He spent 11 of his 12 NBA seasons with the San Antonio Spurs, scoring almost 10,000 points and averaging 14.4 points per game. He is the team's all-time leader in three-point field goals made and attempted, and fourth in points. He appeared in 85 playoff games, second most to David Robinson.    The nation took notice of Elliott in 1999. Two months after helping the Spurs to the NBA title, Elliott underwent a successful kidney transplant in San Antonio, receiving a new kidney from his brother, Noel. Amazingly, Elliott was back on the court in March 2000 and played in 19 games that season and 52 games in 2000-01 before announcing his retirement. He was the first player in league history to return to action following a major organ transplant.    Since his retirement, Elliott has been an NBA broadcaster for ESPN and ABC, and this year has been the Spurs' television analyst. On March 6 of this year, Elliott became the fifth Spurs' player to have his number (No. 32) retired, following David Robinson, James Silas, Johnny Moore and George Gervin.    LaTaunya Pollard - Indiana    LaTaunya Pollard was one of the most dominating players in Indiana girls basketball history - perhaps in all states across the country - during her days at Roosevelt High School in East Chicago, Indiana. Pollard compiled yearly per-game scoring averages of 18, 24, 24 and 26 from 1976 to 1979 in helping her teams to a combined mark of 92-2 and two state championships. Her team's only losses in four years were in the state tournament.    In the 1977 state tournament, Pollard scored 54 points in one day - 36 in the morning game and 18 in the evening game - the second-highest one-day mark in state history. Pollard, who never missed a game in four years, was chosen Miss Basketball in Indiana after her senior season, was most valuable player in the McDonald's all-star game and was named to the list of Indiana's 50 greatest basketball players. She was one of only two females chosen for this prestigious honor.    At California State University, Long Beach, Pollard helped her teams to a four-year combined mark of 102-26 while compiling yearly per-game scoring averages of 21, 24, 26 and 29. She was all-conference all four years, was a three-time Kodak All-American and received the Wade Trophy. Pollard, who also never missed a game at Long Beach State, is the school's all-time leading scorer with 3,001 points. Her 907 points as a senior in 1982-83 still ranks 10th all-time in NCAA statistical rankings.    In her final college game, Pollard scored 37 points in a regional final against the University of Southern California, which had Cheryl Miller, Cynthia Cooper, and Pam and Paula McGee and went on to win the NCAA championship.    Pollard was chosen for the 1980 Olympic women's basketball team; however, the United States boycotted the 1980 Games in Moscow. She was inducted into the Long Beach State Hall of Fame in 2001 and the Women's Basketball Hall of Fame in 2000. Next month, Pollard will be inducted into the Indiana Basketball Hall of Fame.    After her collegiate career, Pollard played professionally in Italy for eight years and recorded the highest scoring average in the 73-year history of the league. She was the top scorer every year, averaging as much as 39.5 points per game in 1985, and once scored 100 points in a game. From 1990 to 1995, she averaged 36.9 points per game for Seidis Ancona.     Patty Sheehan - Nevada    As Nevada's first inductee in the National High School Hall of Fame, Patty Sheehan was the best golfer in the state's history and then became one of the early dominant players of the Ladies Professional Golf Association (LPGA) tour.    Sheehan won three consecutive golf titles (1972-74) at Wooster High School in Reno, Nevada, leading her team to the large-school state championship on each occasion. She followed that with four consecutive Nevada state amateur titles and two straight California state amateur crowns.     In 1979, Sheehan was the runner-up at the U.S. Women's Amateur Championship, and the following year, she won the AIAW national championship as a member of the women's golf team at San Jose State University, and won all of her matches during the 1980 Curtis Cup (women's amateur team competition).    Sheehan qualified for the LPGA tour in 1980 and won her first event the following year. She has won 35 LPGA tournaments, including six majors. She won her first major tournament (LPGA Tour Championship) in 1983 and earned player-of-the-year honors. Sheehan won two U.S. Opens and one British Open title. She defended her LPGA title in 1984 with a career-best round of 63 and won the Vare Trophy for the lowest scoring average on the tour.    In 1993, Sheehan won her 30th LPGA event to qualify for the LPGA Tour Hall of Fame. With her 35th tour victory in 1996, Sheehan passed the $5 million mark in career ear
