He was recruited by more than 100 schools, including national powerhouse Georgetown and conference foes Houston, Texas Tech and Baylor. “I came to A&M because I like Coach (Shelby) Metcalf and the other players,” Gilbert said, “and the diploma from here means a lot.” Gilbert is majoring in Physical Education, and he wants to be a coach after his playing days. “I think I’d be good at it,” he said. “I’d like to coach on the college level eventually.” Gilbert turned in his best per formance of the year against Marshall in Saturday’s Marshall Memorial Tournament cham pionship game, which the Thundering Herd won 60-58. The Aggie freshman had 11 points, four rebounds and five blocked shots, finishing as Texas A&M’s No. 2 scorer behind Claude Riley, who had 12 points. United Press International Hurst Bell notched a close but convincing semifinal win and Beaumont West Brook con tinued its Cinderella journey through the playoffs as both teams won over the weekend to clinch a spot in the Texas state 5A football final game. A talented and durable quar tet of running backs behind quarterback Craig Presnall helped Bell grind out a 21-13 win over Dallas Carter Friday, setting up the Class 5A final be tween Bell and Beaumont West Brook, 27-12 winners over Con verse Judson Saturday. Running back Tom Ward, Reggie Collins, Darren Darden and Tom Jenkins alternated be hind Presnall and rushed for a combined 186 yards to key the Bell running attack which wore down Carter. “We did the same things we have been doing all season,” Bell coach Tim Edwards said. “We ran inside and outside and then set up the pass.” Presnall threw for 91 yards and added a touchdown on a 7- yard bootleg to go with two short touchdown runs by Ward. “We controlled the ball at the start of the game, and then Car ter made some mistakes and that was the key,” Edwards said. West Brook used its speed to run past Judson. X | PUTT THEATRES “We’re ready for the finals,” West Brook running back Jerry Ball said. “This team has never given up. We’ve just got to keep on improving and win it all.” West Brook is in its first year after being formed last year by the merger of Beaumont Hebert and Forest Park. The Bruins, who lost their first four games, have not lost since and now are at 10-4-1. J SCHULMAN % * THEATRES } $1 off adult ticket 1st Matinee if jt. Mon-family night Sch 6 jf f.
