In Friday night’s gamfe with
UTA, the Aggies blew a first
half lead of 15 points, 25-10,
with 11:28 remaining while hold
ing the Mavericks to only two
points in the first five minutes
of action.
With 4:22 left in the opening
stanza, UTA rallied to within
two of the Aggies 36-34, while
A&M suffered a shooting and
turnover slump as the half ended
with A&M on top, 45-40.
Keeping the Mavericks in the
contest was the shooting of their
two big inside performers, Larry
Moore and Perry Littleton, each
scoring 11 points in first half
action.
For A&M, it was. it’s tremend
ous height and rebounding ad
vantage with Randy Knowles
leading the way with nine ca
roms while Cedric Joseph and
Jerry Mercer pulled down six
each.
In the second half, as in the
first, A&M built up sizeable leads
only to let it slip away to the
never-give-up visitors.
The Aggies built up a 49-40
lead early as UTA pulled up
within one, 49-48, with less than
five minutes gone.

that enabled the Aggies to win
the game. Knowles hit for 16 of
A&M’s 18 points scored in a six
minute time span.
UTA had its final chance to
pull the game out with 3:59 left,
gaining a tie, 77-77, but A&M’s
nine straight points in the next
two minutes put out any flame
the Mavericks had flickering as
the Aggies coasted in for the 88-
84 triumph.
Knowles finished the game
leading in both points, 27, and
rebounds, 14, for both clubs. Big
gun for UTA was Moore hitting
for 24 points and grabbing 11 re
bounds before fouling out late in
the game.
Six players, three on each
team, were fouled out as 49 fouls
were called. Three A&M inside
men, Jeff Overhouse, Jerry Mer
cer and Joseph, fouled out while
UTA lost two inside men, Little
ton and Moore, as well as top
scoring guard Ronnie Marsh.
Viewing the game was the
largest crowd ever to see a non
conference game at A&M with
almost 5,000 fans on hand. Spir
it and enthusiasm played an im
mense portion in the game, coach
Shelby Metcalf felt.
“I felt we improved,” Metcalf
said of his team after its second
victorious encounter. “The press
hurt us late in the first half be
cause we are not in good enough
physical shape yet to keep pres
sure on the other team.
“I was impressed the way
neither team gave up. Both
played hard the entire game and
by the look on the players faces,
you couldn’t tell who was ahead.
“I was real proud of Randy
Knowles’ courage in the game.
He fought hard all the way and
was our driving force. I thought
this UTA team was much better
than the team that beat us here
two years ago.”
Monday night Metcalf didn’t
have quite so much to be happy
about. The Aggies were any
thing but impressive and except
for the inspired play of Joseph,
the hustling Angelo State Rams
might have handed the Aggies
their first loss of the season.
The Aggies had good balance
in scoring against Angelo with
all five starters scoring in
ble figures.
Besides Joseph’s 19
Knowle’s 18, Chuck Tone
Jeff Overhouse collected 14 with
Mario Brown adding 12.
A&M jumped to a 10-4 lead
on the shooting of Knowles, but
the Rams closed the gap to 24-
22 with 8:35 remaining in the
first half.
The half ended with the Ag
gies leading 38-37 as Angelo
used the sharp shooting of Char
lie Williams to keep the game
tight. Williams totaled 12 points
in the half and contributed 19
points to the Ram cause.
At the start of the second half,
Joseph took things into his own
hands and threw in 6 straight
points as the Aggies managed to
stretch their lead to 50-44.
Joseph scored again and shuf
fled a pass to Wayne Howard
for a score, and A&M threatened
to break the game open leading
62-48 with 11:00 left in the ball
game.
Joseph totally dominated the
boards and Howard played his
finest game of the season as the
Aggies held off the constant
Ram attack led by Robert Black.
Black forced the Aggies into
numerous turnovers with his ball
hawking defense and contributed
11 points to bring Angelo to
within five points at 78-73 with
just 2:49 remaining to be played.
Joseph hit on a three point
play and another tip shot to keep
the Rams at bay and the Aggies
had their third win of the season.
The Aggies next action will
be Wednesday night when they
travel to Tulsa, Okla., to com
pete in a doubleheader honoring
Hank Iba against Oklahoma
State.
