SFA Rally Trips Aggies, 75-74

Sports
By JOHN PLATZER
Five missed free throws in the
final four minutes told the story
last night in G. Rollie White
Coliseum as Stephen F. Austin
stormed from far behind to nip
the Aggies at the wire, 75-74.
With A&M clutching a precious
one-point lead and only seven
seconds left to play, Marvin Pol-
nick snuck in for a layup along
the right baseline for the win
ning basket. The Aggies called
two timeouts, desperately at
tempting to save the win, but a
last second 35-foot shot by Sonny
Benefield fell short.
COACH Shelby Metcalf’s cagers
trailed for a total of only 40
seconds in the 40 minute contest,
but seven of those were the most
important of the night. SFA
jumped off to a 2-0 lead and then
led at 4-3 but after the score

was tied at 8-8, the Aggies re
mained in command the rest of
the way until Polnick’s layup.
George Johnson, the Lumber
jack’s 6-11 center who was his
team’s top scorer for the year,
fouled out with 9:04 remaining
in the game and A&M holding a
65-56 margin. Instead of wrap
ping up the game for the Aggies,
this seemed to inspire SFA.
Mike Heitmann, the Aggies’
6-4 junior from Houston Sam
Houston, missed at the foul line
on the front end of a one-and-one
situation with the Lumberjacks
quickly cashing in on the oppor
tunity to narrow the score to
70-64 on a short jumper by Ervin
Polnick.
A&M SOON found themselves
at the foul line once again with
one-and-one but Ronnie Peret
missed his first shot and Ervin
and Marvin Polnick combined for
three points to cut the margin
to 70-67. Peret stepped to the
charity line again with 3:05 re
maining. This time he hit on his
first and missed the second and
when Marvin Polnick shook loose
for two layups, the score was
suddenly tied at 71-71 with 1:53
left.
After an A&M timeout, Peret
once again stepped to the foul
line and calmly sank his first
shot. The second rolled out but
Billy Bob Barnett got the rebound
and was fouled while putting it
back up. The senior from Bren-
ham sank both chances to give
the Aggies a 74-71 bulge with
1:33 remaining.
A short jump shot by Surry
Oliver made it 74-73 and A&M
immediately went into a stall.
Benefield had an opportunity to
put the game out of reach with
33 seconds remaining, but his
first toss in the one-and-one situ
ation was off and SFA controlled
to set up Marvin Polnick’s game
winning shot.
THE FIRST HALF belonged
strictly to the Aggies as they
steadily pulled away from the 8-8
tie. A three point play by Heit
mann gave the Aggies a 21-12
lead and then a barrage of eight
straight points, four by Barnett,
increased the margin to 29-14
with 7-19 remaining.

Fish Win Fourth Straight
With 82-69 Romp Past LM
By RICHARD CAMPBELL
Hot shooting from the floor
offset their frequent mistakes
Monday night as the Texas Ag
gie Fish chalked up their fourth
straight victory in an 82-69 romp
over Lon Morris Junior College
in G. Rollie White.
Skip Carleton led the Fish
with 21 points and Jeff Watkins
added 18 markers and 18 re
bounds as the Fish had little
trouble adding Lon Morris to
their scalp belts. Bobby Thread-
gill added 20 points to the at
tack.
The Fish shot to an early lead
in the first half behind the nifty
shooting of Carleton, who hit
seven of his first eight shots, and
Threadgill, who connected on five
of eight in the first half. Two
fields and a free throw by
Threadgill gave the Fish a com
manding lead at 18-8 with 14
minutes left and with 11 min
utes left, Carleton’s 18-foot
jumper pulled them to their larg
est lead, 28-16.
But Lon Morris began their
quick comeback behind their 5’8”
playmaker, David Green of
Brooklyn, N. Y. Lon Morris
trailed 33-26 with 8:00 left but
they got hot and hit 12 straight
points before the Fish could
score again. The Fish fought
back, however, and trailed by
only one as Green worked for one
shot before the half ended and
finally connected on an 18-foot
jump shot as the buzzer sounded
to give the visitors a 42-41 lead.
After intermission, the score
exchanged hands twice until with
14:40 left, the Fish broke a 50-50
tie on a Threadgill free throw
and took the lead to stay. Wat
kins hit two quick hook shots
and reserve guard Don Watts
contributed two layups to give
the Fish the edge, 68-58, with
8:46 left.
Lon Morris then made their
last spurt of the night as Green
and 6’4” Russell Johnston, also
from Brooklyn, hit four consecu
tive shots to pull them within
eight at 75-67 with 1:16 left.
But Duplantis drew a foul and
sank both free throws to make
it 77-67, and Watts hit one char
ity shot to increase the lead to
11. But on the ensuing throw-in,
Watts fouled Johnston, who
found the pressure too tough at
the charity stripe and missed the
opportunity to score.
On the fast break, Farnsworth
got a layup and then Green got
one for Lon Morris to make the
score, 80-69 with ten seconds
left. Watkins then hit Duplantis
inside for a layup at the buzzer
and the final score was 82-69.
