sports Battalion/Page II October 25, W Aggie sports Volleyball team wins; women's golf squad fi Vol. 76 No. 41 Vikings release 10 years of steam in 40-0 victory United Press International It was the weekend of the showdown that fizzled, the streak that snapped and the comeback that defied all odds in Texas high school football. Bryan, for much of the sea son the No. 1 Class 5A team in the United Press International Texas high school football poll, accomplished what it has failed to do the past 10 years — beat Temple. Bryan hadn’t beaten Temple since 1971, when the Vikings took a 7-0 victory. The Wildcats hadn’t lost a district game in six years. The stage was set. But what was billed as a monumental face-off proved to be a surprisingly easy 40-0 vic tory for Bryan, ranked No. 7, over fourth-ranked Temple in a District 14-AAAAA clash. “It was one of those things,” said Bryan coach Merrill Green, victorious for the first time over his Temple counterpart, Bob McQueen. “We had absolutely no inkling at all that it would happen. It just began to unravel for Temple. Our kids just came to play.” Green said the strategy that may have paid off the most against Temple was resting quarterback James Flowers on defense, a decision made after Flowers’ lackluster performance in the Oct. 15 14-13 loss to Eu less Trinity — Bryan’s only de feat. “Flowers made some great plays,” Green said. “I think that was the major difference. Flow- down bomb and a keeper for a score. “Our kids did a good job of coming back,” said Pottsboro coach Ronny Ray, who took his team to a 10-2 record last year and a spot in the regional play off game against eventual state champ Pilot Point. “There in the fourth period, we knew we had to get back in it really fast and I was on the brink of ‘can we or can we not,”’ Ray said. “But the kids never lost their confidence.” The highest-ranked team to fall Friday was Gainesville, rank ed No. 3 in Class 4A. Iowa Park defensive back Wayne Hodges blocked a conversion attempt in the fourth period to preserve his team’s 7-6 win over the highly- regarded Leopards. The loss dropped Gainesville into a three-way tie with Iowa Park and Wichita Falls Hirschi for the District 3-AAAA lead. The three teams have all played each other, so the remaining two games are crucial and Iowa Park coach David Baugh is cautious but optimistic. “It’s just one of those situa tions where any team in our dis trict can beat another team,” Baugh said. “I think we played just about as well as we can play.” It was a maximum effort for 6-1 Iowa Park. There are only 25 players on the roster and most starters play both ways. “We were able to bottle up their great running back James Calhoun,” Baugh said. “Wejust played good defense. “We just outfought them.” Among the state’s top-ranked teams, Odessa Permian, No. 1 in Class 5A, coasted by Abilene Cooper 56-14. Permian began its 3/-game unbeaten streak af ter losing to Cooper in 1979. In Class 4A, No. 1 Willow- ridge routed Brenham 41-0, and Post, the top-ranked Class 3A team, cruised past Floydada 42-13. Eastland, top ranked in Class 2A, exploded for a 62-0 win over Cisco and Bremond, No. 1 in Class A, continued its trek toward a second straight state title with a 51-0 win over Riesel. Other upsets included Gana- do’s 28-14 win over Tidehaven, No. 3 in Class 2A, and Sanger’s 13-9 win over Bonham, No. 7 in Class 3A. Van Vleck knocked off the No. 8 Class 3A team, Sweeny, 19-13. The Aggie women’s vol leyball team topped Southern Illinois in three games Friday night to raise its record to 21-4. Texas A&M, ranked No. 15 in the NCAA poll and No. 19 in the Tachikara poll, sits atop the Southwest Conference with a 5- 0 record after three weeks. The Aggie Ladies won Fri day's games by scores of 15-10, 15-8, 15-10 over the Salukis, who are now 18-10 after split ting four matches in Texas. Southern Illinois, ranked No. 19 in the NCAA poll, defeated Lamar and Houston before los ing to Texas A&rM on Friday and the University of Texas on Saturday. The Salukis lost to the Lon ghorns 2-15, 15-13, 10-15, 15- 12, 10-15 in the final match of the trip. In the match against the Aggies, Southern Illinois' Bon nie Norrenberns had nine kills, but the Salukis could muster only a .170 hitting percentage for the evening. Texas A&M re corded a .235 percentage. The Aggie Ladies will play Baylor tonight at 7:30 in Waco before returning to G. Rollie White Coliseum to host this weekend’s Texas A&M-Milier High Life Classic. In other sports involving Texas A&M squads, the women’s golf team shot a 950 to finish fifth in the Nancy Lopez Invitational golf tourney, played in Tulsa, Okla. Tulsa’s Kathy Baker shot a final round three- over-par 74 Friday to lead the Hurricane to its fourth straight victory of the season. Baker claimed the individual title with a three-day total of 218, while teammate Jody Rosenthal was second with 224 and Dawn Coe of Lamar was third with 225. Tulsa scored a three-round team total of 915 to hold off a strong challenge from Texas Christian and claim its fifth title in the seven years of the Lopez Invitational. TCU was second at 921 and Arizona State finished third with a 946. Other team totals were Southern Methodist, 949; Stanford, 957; Texas, 961; New Mexico, 963; Georgia, 966; Lamar, 970; Florida, 971; Arizo na, 972, Oklahoma State, 986; Oklahoma, 995; and Furman, 1,000. ers got some rest. “And the game did cleanse us of a lot of frustrations.” The Bryan-Temple contest was the only one matching Top 10 teams, but other factors made several games notable. Jasper, No. 2 in Class 4A, de feated Silsbee, as expected, 42-6. The shocker was that Jasper gave up six points, breaking a string of six shutouts. Jasper now has given up only 13 points this year in racing to an 8-0 re cord. Another team with an 8-0 re cord waltzed briefly with defeat Friday. But Pottsboro, ranked No. 7 in Class 2A, rallied to down stubborn S&S Consoli dated 41-38 in a track meet that saw both teams combine for more than 860 yards of offense. Pottsboro had to rally from deficits of 24-7 in the third quar ter and 38-28 with five minutes remaining to snatch the win.
