Horns’ Wacker
unbeleeevable
By CHAREAN WILLIAMS
Assistant Sports Editor
Unbeleeevable! No, Jim Wacker
wasn’t talking about a TCU football
victory, he was ranting about the
Texas basketball team’s upset of
Texas A&M Wednesday night.
Texas forward Mike Wacker,
Jim’s son, took a jump shot from in
side the lane with one second show
ing on the clock. The ball rolled
around the rim and fell through for
a 53-51 Longhorn upset.
“John (Brownlee) and I set up a
double screen to try and punch the
ball out to Carlton (Cooper),”
Wacker said. “I wheeled to the mid
dle and missed the shot. I just stayed
with it and got the ball. It sure hung
on the rim for a long time. The feel
ing was just unbelievable when it fi
nally feel through.”
Texas Coach Bob Weltlich said
Wacker was unbelievable.
“The two plays Wacker made in
the last minute and a half where he
misses a shot and just follows after it
until he makes it were just unbelie
vable,” Weltlich said. “What a way
for a senior to go out.”
The Longhorn players began
jumping up and down and hugging
one another when the shot finally
fell through and the buzzer
sounded.
As soon as they reached the locker
room, Wacker started looking for
mom and dad.
Wacker found his parents to share
perhaps the biggest moment in his
unfortunate career.
“It wasn’t my biggest win,”
Wacker said. “They’re were a lot of
big games before I got hurt. I would
have to say this is the biggest win
since I’ve been back. It’s a big win for
the team and the program and it’s al
ways nice to win in front of your
folks.”
Wacker hasn’t been back long. He
went through three knee operations
and two and a half years of rehabili
tation before being able to play again
this season.
The San Marcos High School
product said at times he felt like giv
ing up.
“It was tdugh,” Wacker said. “I
was down at times, but I looked on it
as something I didn’t have any con
trol over.
“When taking the ball out, I still
feel some pain. I just block it out and
keep playing.”
Wacker has sure played as if the

Texas’ Mike Wacker (above)
says the win over A&M
Wednesday was the biggest
since injuring his knee.
knee injury has been blocked out of
his mind.
Wacker has hit in double figures
in all 24 of the Longhorns’ games
this season, shooting 60 percent
from the field. Against A&M,
Wacker was in classic form. He
scored 22 points and pulled down 11
rebounds.
The pros have crossed Wacker’s
mind, but if that doesn't work out he
might follow in dad’s footsteps and
become a coach.
“I don’t know what I am going to
do,” Wacker said. “I might coach. I
would like to give the pros a shot. I
just depends if anyone wants me.
“I’m not too quick and I can’t
jump. I’m not going' to say I won’t
give it a try.”
That would be a unbeleeevable
comeback story for an unbeleeevable
player.

TAMU Pistol Team travels to Arlington
The Texas A&M Pistol Team, who is trying to make it back to nation

A&M golfers travel
to tough tourneys
By PAUL HERNDON
Reporter
The Texas A&M golf teams will be on the road this weekend as their
spring schedule gets into full swing.
A&M Coach Bob Ellis takes his 18th-ranked men’s team to Sour Lake to
compete in the Homberg Intercollegiate Tournament at the Pinewood
Country Club, Feb. 22-24.
The Homberg Intercollegiate is the second of six spring tourneys for
the Aggie men before the Southwest Conference showdown in April.
This year’s tourney will feature nine teams out of the 16-team field
which were ranked in the Top 20 in the pre-season poll of college coaches:
No. 1 Houston, No. 3 Oklahoma, No. 5 Oklahoma State, No. 6 Arizona
State, No. 9 Arkansas, No. 10 Lamar, the host team, No. 15 Texas, No. 17
LSU and No. 19 Missouri.
Coach Ellis will be looking for Jorge Coghlan, an honorable mention
All-American, to fill the gap left by a departed Philip Parkin. Parkin, a first
team All-American, left the Aggies last season as a sophomore to join the
professional circuit.
Along with Coghlan, Jon Saffle, Flint Nelson, Paul Mayo and Scott Lee
will represent the Aggies at this weekend’s tournament.
Coach Kitty Holley’s women’s team will undoubtedly face its toughest
test of the season this weekend in Gainsville, Fla. at the Lady Gator Invita
tional.
Six of the 15 teams competing in the tourney are ranked in the Top 20,
inlcuding No. 1 Florida, the host team. No. 2 Miami, No. 8 Duke, No. 10
Mississippi and No. 16 Georgia.
Holley’s Aggies will be looking for a strong perfomance from last year’s
Lady Gator individual tournament champion, Angela Atkins. At last sea
son’s tourney, Atkins shot a 220 for three rounds, including a 69 in the sec
ond round to tie a tournament record.
Atkins will be joined by Aggie golfers Fiona Conner, Susie Faccini, Pat
ricia Gonzalez and Holly Frizzell.
