Johnson begins newA&M baseball era
By TAMARA BELL
Sports Writer
Replacing Texas A&M Head
Baseball Coach Tom Chandler pro
vides a challenge tor his successor —
Mark Johnson.
Johnson took over the baseball
program at the end of last season af
ter Chandler announced his retire
ment after directing 26 successful
seasons at A&M.
“Since June 10, I’ve been excited
at the prospect of assuming the head
mach position for this A&M team
even though following in such a rec
ognizably outstanding coach’s foot
steps will be difficult,” Coach Mark
Johnson said.
Although five starters will not be
returning, Johnson believes the
combination of 11 new recruits and
veterans Rob Swain at shortstop,
first baseman Buddy Haney, and
Steve Johnigan at catcher should
equal another winning season.
"Because pitcher Sherman Cor
bett won’t be back, there will be com
petition to fill that space. As the
coach, I’m striving for that competi
tion which will place the best player
in each position. A strong nucleus is
important for any team to perform
well and our team’s nucleus remains
the same,” Johnson said.
A new coaching staff consisting of
Jimmy Lawler, former head coach at
UTEP, and Bill Hickey of Kansas
State, assists Johnson in commu
nicating the ideas and goals fob the
new season.
“Even though each of us are
bringing different coaching tech
niques to this team, we’re moving in
the same direction toward a unified
staff and team,” Johnson said.
Only a few changes from the pre
vious program will be incorporated
into the game plan.
“Some approaches will differ, but
for the most part things will stay the
same. Afterall, the team finished sec
ond in the conference and advanced
to regionals. Why change a winning
system?” he said.
In addition to playing each South
west Conference team three times
during the regular ’85 season, the
schedule also includes a three day
tournament during springbreak at
Pan American University in Edin
burgh.
Sincfe A&M will play such teams as
Michigah, Oklahoma and Kansas,
the strengths and weaknesses of the
Aggie squad will become evident and
changes will be made accordingly.
Johnson believes his team is a def
inite contender for the Southwest
Conference championship.
“Last season this team was second
in the conference and went to re
gional play in Oklahoma. Although
some player changes have been
made, I think they can repeat last
season’s performance,” he said.
After 15 years of coaching, John
son is satisfied with his present posi
tion as head coach for A&M baseball
and now calls College Station home.
“My goal was to become a college
baseball coach for a Division I team
at a school that cares about the pro
gram and is supportive. I’ve found
all that at A&M,’ Tohnson said.
Sherrill has
open practice
The Texas A&M Sports infor
mation Department announced
that the Sept. 3 and Sept. 10 Ag
gie football practices wfll be open
to all A&M students with their
student I.D.
Both of these Mon. practices
will begin at 7 p.m. These will be
the only two practices open to stu
dents.
Coach Jackie Sherrill said he
made the decision, “because I
want to continue to develop
closer ties between the football
team and the student body, in the
same manner as the Twelfth Man
team. This is what makes A&M
special.”
