By JON HEIDTKE Battalion Staff The 1980-81 edition of the Texas A&M women’s basketball team is going to be young and inexperi enced, but second-year coach Cherri Rapp says all 13 women on the roster can play. “We may make some mistakes be cause of our youth,” Rapp said, “but we won’t hurt ourself with who ever we have in there.” “We will be real inexperienced, so right now its hard to say what the team is gonna look like,” she said. “Hopefully we can find five who can play together. Right now it’s up in the air, but there are a lot of pos sibilities,” Rapp said. One player Rapp expects a lot out of is senior Trigg Crawford. “Trigg should be one of the leaders,” Rapp said about the College Station pro duct. “She looks real good in practice so far.” Rapp added that Sherry Winn, a transfer from the University of Hous ton, and Kelley Sullivan have also looked good in practice. One of the biggest suprises for Rapp this season, has been the de velopment of the two walk-ons, duRae Gill and Leanne Brown. According to Rapp, Gill is one of the most intelligent players as far as her on the court sense. And Brown has improved 300 percent since she has been here, Rapp said. The Aggies will have their first real test this weekend when they host Tyler Jr. College in a full scrimmage Saturday afternoon at 2:30. Rapp says the Aggies offensive game plan will consist of fast break ing as much as possible, and having a lot of movement so the defense will have to keep up with us. On defense, Rapp plans to run a Ag fencing team in Dallas The Texas A&M fencing club, which took several members to the national championships in New York last spring, will participate in the Dallas Open this weekend.

Due to A&M’s extreme lack of height (only Cathy Foreman stands taller than six foot), Rapp and her assistant coach, Cindy Gough, have been spending a great deal of time in practice blocking out on rebounds. “It will be one of the biggest keys of the year,” said Rapp, “if we don’t block out, our opponents will kill us on the boards.” But even with all the questions that need to be answered before the season gets underway, Rapp is real optimistic. “We should improve each game and hopefully reach our peak when the playoffs roll around, ” she said. “But right now, we have got a long way to go.” The Aggie Ladies open the regular season Nov. 14 against Southeastern Louisania in G.
