Mustangs Finish Strong
To Dump A&M 97-68
Tigers Smash
Scaly, 54 - 41
Overcoming a 19-21 half
time deficit, A&M Consolida
ted’s Tigers rolled to a 54-41
victory over Sealy in the dis
trict opener for both teams
last night at Sealy.
Norman Floeck was the spark
the Tigers needed as he sunk 10
out of 15 field goals and two free
shots for 22 points. His point pro
duction was high for the game.
Floeck was also the leading re
bounder with seven.
Consolidated rallied in the sec
ond half and bucketed 16 points
within six minutes to take the lead.
Manuel Garcia, second in scoring
for CHS, dropped in eight points
in the Tiger’s surge and Floeck
six.
Dick Hickman, a starter for the
Tigers, fouled out with 50 seconds
left in the third quarter. Consoli
dated hit 23 of 41 shots from the
field to better the 50 per cent mark.
Jon Ray Perryman meshed five of
eight field goal tries.
In the “B” game Sealy won 34-
A furious second half scoring outburst by SMU yielded
a 97-68 win over A&M last night at Dallas, and gave the
towering Mustang cagers their third straight Southwest
Conference triumph.
Trying desperately to keep up with the Ponies’ radar
like barrage, A&M tied the score at 44-44 with 16 minutes
left in the game, but a succession of fouls and field goals en
abled SMU to pull away to its highest scoring output of the
season.
SMU, led by 6-3 Larry Showalter and big 6-6 Tom Miller,
registered 57 points in the final period. The Ponies hit 20 of
36 shots from the field in the
55 per cent average. ♦
Showalter, junior guard, led
the Mustang scoring parade
with 24 points, high for the
night.
The Ponies also dominated the
backboards, doubling the Aggies in
rebounds with 36.
SMU got the opening tip-off and
guard Bobby Mills dropped in a
free throw to put SMU out in
front. Ken Hutto’s two free
throws gave the Aggies a 2-1 lead
seconds later, the only time A&M
led during the contest.
The Cadets knotted the score
three times in the first period, but
the deadly accuracy of Showalter,
who dunked 14 points in the initial
stanza, enabled the Mustangs to
leave the court at intermission with
a 40-32 lead.
George Mehaffey sparked A&M’s
second half rally, but left the
second half for a remarkable
Bill Brophy, who had 11 points,
fouled out minutes later and SMU
began to walk away with the
game. SMU’s biggest lead of the
night, except for the final score,
was 28 points.
Senior John Fortenberry w a s
the leading Aggie marksman of
the night with 18 points. He made
six out of 11 field goal tries and
six straight free throws.
