todies up record to 9-
Aggies take 94-52 win over ’Kats
HUNTSVILLE — The Aggie
adies basketball team of coach
Cherri Rapp went looking for a rare
road win and got it, squashing the
Sam Houston Bearkats Thursday
night 94-52. Kelley Sullivan and
Trigg Crawford each scored 15
points to lead the Aggies who upped
their season record to 9-7.
A&M got off to a slow start in the
contest, falling behind by as many as
seven points at 12-5 before getting
untracked. Sullivan, however, led a
charge with fifteen minutes remain
ing in the first half to power the
ladies to a 44-24 halftime lead.
Defensive handiwork and a
smooth fast break were the early
keys. Rapp began substituting freely
late in the half and there was no let
down by the subs. The second half
was more of the same as all 12 team
members who made the trip played
and scored.
The Aggies connected on 55 per
cent of their shots from the field and
65 percent of their free throws,
compared to 32 percent on field
goals and 80 percent free tosses for
Trigg Crawford
the Kats.
The leading rebounders for A&M
were Sullivan with 12, Crawford
and Susan Kimbro with six each,
and Peggy Pope with four. Kimbro
also had 12 points for A&M and
Tammy Grafton hit four field goals
and a free throw to score nine.
Cathy Fuller and Lori Pye each had
eight points. For SHSU Cathy
Hooks and Sherry Pfister each had
13 points while Antanette Denley
pulled down eight rebounds.
The Aggie Ladies’ next game is
Saturday against North Texas State
University at G. Rollie White. This
sets up an interesting matchup in
that coach Rapp left NTSU for the
coaching job at A&M and center
Lori Foreman transferred here fiom
NTSU to remain with Rapp. Game
time is 7:30 p. m.
The Aggie Ladies will host a re
match with Sam Houston State
Tuesday night prior to the men’s
game with Arkansas. Game time is
5:30 p.m.
Weekend games

are in action tomorrow night
with the women’s team playing

Rollie White against North
Texas State. The girls bring in a
record of 9-7, having just de
feated Sam Houston 94-52
Thursday night on the road.

Susan Kimbro
scout team important to Ag success
By TONY GALLUCCI
Sports Editor
Behind every great team is a
oud bench, or something like
lat, and Texas A&M is no different.
:d n a team that has fielded only
ght players with regularity, Coach
^Ipielby Metcalf has an additional
r e players who stay on the bench
ost games and another five who
3 ually don’t even suit up.
Some of these players are on
holarship; others are walk-ons,
members.
McHugh, an all-state player at
Geneva High School, is in his first
year at A&M. The 6-3 freshman is
majoring in marketing. Sooter is a
transfer fiom Northeast Oklahoma
Junior College. He is a 6-3 sopho
more. He was valedictorian at
Welch (Okla.) High School and is
now majoring in Business Manage
ment. He also was an all-state eager
and played in the Oklahoma All-Star
game among others.
Robert Wright is a junior transfer
student from Trinidad (Colo.) State
Junior College where he set a Junior
College record with 21 assists in one
game. He played in the national
AAU All-Star game and helped in
y gerjust to help out.
This year in addition to helping
e league-leading Aggies rest in
J lies of runaway games, the Aggie
$ nch has also dubbed itself an in-
aise pepsquad, led by bench cap
itis Bruce Sooter and Jay
cHugh.
Three players who normally are
ated during the games have
Ipedthe Aggies on the court and
the best shots for starting action
n three seniors graduate this
ring. All three May graduates are
dsand so are these young squad
the Aggies’ win over East Texas
State, gathering eight points.
John Schlicher, a senior guard, is
in his final season for A&M.
Schlicher was an All-America at Ft.
Worth Paschal High School, and
had a bright future ahead when he
was severely injured in a horse-
riding accident at A&M. Schlicher
played in 25 games as a hardship
freshman, averaging 2.2 points.
R. C. Buford, a 6-5 freshman
from Wichita, Kansas has also been
traveling with the team. All-state at
Collegiate High School, Buford
earned 13 letters in football, basket
ball, track and tennis. He was cap
tain of both his football and basket
ball teams and played basketball in
the Kansas All-Star game. He is
maiorine in netroleum eneineerine.
The scout team is the bunch, who
with the bench, must give its time
to help maintain the first team, both
through constant competition in
practice and by serving as a mock-
up of teams the Ags are to face.
Kenny Morris has been tabbed as
captain of the scout team. Morris is
a junior accounting major from
Texas City. David Barrett of Bryan
is a sophomore accounting major.
His brother Bryan played for A&M
the past several years.
Three freshmen are in the scout
group. Included is Mike Surman
from Clear Lake High School in
Houston. Surman is majoring in in
dustrial distribution. Jim Vorlop,
majoring in accounting, was an all
district player at Lake Highlands
High School in Dallas where he
helped run up a 29-6 record last
year. Finally, freshman Lee Kleb,
who hails from Houston Waltrip, is
a biomedical science (pre-med)
major.
Without these guys, the Aggie
first team might still be winning but
without the enthusiasm and support
they provide the first-teamers
not be as sharp.
