"We had a very bad year, M-year coach Cherri Rapp aid. Nevertheless, a solid defense, an average height that some men’s teams would envy and a promising crop of freshmen and junior eol- |getransfers should aid the 1981- 182 team’s recovery. Senior point guard Kelley Sulli van said: “We re going to be a lot improved. We ll have a lot more height to help us. ’’ The team roster lists five play ers taller than 6-foot. Three of i are 6-3, including Ann Irinka, a freshman from Lidger- mid, N.D., who will likely be a starterin the team’s opener Satur day night against New Mexico State University. With the added height of this sir's squad, Rapp hopes the Iggies will dominate their oppo- iciitson defense and in rebounds. Were relying a lot on our de- jSse, Hupp said. “We ve looked letter on our defense than on Hjnsc in the scrimmages. And Ere going to hopefully be able to lo a good job on the boards with Hirsize — we re going to depend in that a lot. ' A big defensive weapon will be 1 theAggies’ 1-3-1 zone, in which me player defends the basket, le protect the middle of the I, and one guards the top of the icy. “We have a pretty good-sized .. 1-34 when our big players are in lore—they’re pretty awesome, ipp said. One of the team ’s problems last |r, both Rapp and Sullivan , was a slow start that dam- toed the players spirits for the intire season. Consequently, a (ood start is crucial to the team's iutcess this season, Rapp said. don’t know how we re going :o step out and start the season rause these early four or five pines are going to be important, ft said. Tf we start out winning lose games like we could, wc pm nave a real good season. 01 four pre-season scrimmages, Ihe Aggies have won three, de feating Sam Houston State Uni versity, Southwest Texas State University and St. Mary's Col lege. The team lost only to phen F. Austin University. We’ve gradually improved each time, Rapp said. “The scores aren’t too indicative, lough, because we really don’t lay it like a game. Really in our Scrimmages, we could have done JEFF’S PERFORMANCE CENTER better in some areas, and in some we probably could have done worse.” The biggest challenge for the Aggies will be replacing the leadership and talent of lost star ters Trigg Crawford, Tammy Graf ton and Cathy Fuller, who collec tively scored 24 points a game for Texas A&M last year. “We re going to be real inex perienced starting out the year,” Rapp said. “From last year, we only have one full-time starter (Sullivan) returning, so it s going to be a game with a lot of mis takes.” Rapp hopes the leadership void will be filled by Sullivan, last year’s high scorer with an 11.7 av erage per game, and by 5-6 fresh men Romy Gandy, another point guard. “Kelley Sullivan is our onlv senior, and hopefully she’ll de velop into our court leader, she said. “I think we have some other players, too. Romy Gandy is doing an excellent job of court leader ship. Those are probably our two point guards, and of course you depend on the point guard to lead the team. Sullivan said: “I think some times they expect a lot, but that comes with being a senior.” In addition to Trinka and Sulli van, 6-1 junior post Cathy Fore man will probably start, Rapp said. Prospects for the other two spots include Gandy, junior for ward Kelly Krauskopf, a 5-11 re turning letterman, sophomores duRae Gill, a 5-9 forward, and Sheryl Clark, a 5-8 guard and five newcomers. Junior college transfers Kelli Harned, another 6-3 post, and Lynette Joiner, a 5-9 forward, bring excellent shooting skills to the team’s “sputtering” offense, Rapp said. At 6-3, freshman Michell Tatum lends even more height to the post position. For ward Janet Duckham at 6-foot and guard Jenni Edgar at 5-8, both freshmen, add intensity and a lot of natural ability to the lineup, Rapp said. Edgar said: “I know we re re building a new team this year, but we’re expecting a lot of good things. Saturday’s season opener against New Mexico State will be gin at 7 p.m. in G. Rollie White Coliseum. Other schools on the Aggies’ schedule include Stephen F. Austin, the University of Okla homa, McNeese State University, and Southwest Conference oppo nents. ^ THERE A MEETING Wnt4 A TRAINEES FROM several PIVISION^.
