For the first time in seven rears,
the Texas A&M softball team enters
a new season trying to prove itself .
Despite f inishing ’85 with a 45-12
record and No. 2 national ranking,
A&M lost to Louisiana Tech in the
NCAA regionals and failed to earn
its seventh straight trip to the Col
lege World Sc-
Softball
"We have a
lot to prove to ourselves (this sea
son)." A&M second baseman Jndy
I russell said. “Maybe we set our
goals too high last vear.”
A&M, which has won two national
championships in the last five years,
will begin its ’86 campaign today
w hen it hosts Mississippi State in the
first game of the Bayou Classic in
Houma, La.
“We’re back at zero,” A&M Coach
Bob Brock. “I don’t feel like we ac
complished anything last season. No
one cares that we were 45-12. We
didn’t go to the World Series when
we had the team to win it.
“It left us with a sour taste in our
mouths and humbled us a little.
We’ll take them one game at a time
this year.”
1 he Aggies, who are ranked
fourth in the preseason poll, return
title in reach of No.
seven starters including three All-
Americans.
Last year, Trussell led the nation
in fielding percentage at .991 and hit
.313 to earn All-America honors.
“Judy looks real good as usual,”
Brock said. “She has one of the best
fielding touches in the nation.”
Third baseman Cindy Cooper hit
.318 last season and was named to
the All-America team for the second
straight time. Pitcher Shawn An-
daya, also a two-time All-America se
lection, had a .258 ERA with 267
strikeouts.
“Shawn’s more of our power
pitcher,” Brock said. “She can just
overpower people.”
The Aggies lost two All-Ameri
cans—catcher Clay McNutt and out
fielder Josie Carter — a> well as
pitcher Yvette Lopez and outfielder
Iva Jackson.
That’s where the Aggies’ “new
look” comes in.
Freshmen Julie Carpenter, Carrie
Heightly and Erin Newkirk, and
sophomores Zina Ochoa and Karen
Athanacio will play a big part for the
Ags in ’86.
“We have a younger team than in
the past," Brock said. “ 1 hey*vc
looked real good. 1 hey just need
some experience, which will come
over time.”
Carpenter, irom Huntington
Beach, Calif., will Ik* the other half
of the Aggies' pitching rotation.

Twelfth Man team hopefuls
engaged in tryout stages
By HOMER JACOBS
Reporter
Jerry Cribble, a sophomore from
Richardson, never played football in
high school, and realizes he lacks
speed and size.
Cribble also knows that, come
next football - 1 " 1 ■" ■" " ——
season, he’ll Football
probably be
watching from a seat at Kyle Field
rather than playing on Kyle Field as
a member of Texas A&M’s Twelfth
Man kickoff team.
But he, along with 195 other Ag
gies, is still determined to try out for
the Twelfth Man team anyway.
“Even if you don’t make it, you’re
part of the process,” Cribble said.
The “process” of forming the
1986 Twelfth Man team began last
Thursday and has continued
throughout this week. Twelfth Man
Coach Roy Kokemoor said the
team’s first cut will be today.
The field will be narrowed to 40,
based on the individual’s size and
speed. This week’s tryouts have in
cluded a series of 40-yard dashes
and various agility drills.
Full contact drills and actual kick
off coverage practice only occurs
when spring training begins in
April.
Sam Williams, a freshman from
Georgetown, said he wishes there
were tackling drills in the prelimi
nary tryouts.
“I love contact,” Williams said. “I
want to show (the coaches) I can hit.”
Cribble said a dinner with former
students gave him the inspiration to
tryout for the team. His dinner hosts
were members of the 1922 Aggies,
who inaugurated the tradition of the
Twelfth Man by calling upon E.
King Gill to leave the stands and suit
up as a reserve for the injury-
plagued team.
Kokemoor said the Cotton Bowl
victory and the national exposure
the Twelfth Man team received last
season also had a lot to do with the
large turnout of students.
Unfortunately, the large number
of Twelfth Man hopefuls will be vy
ing for a limited number of spaces.
Eighteen members of the ’85 team
return, including 7 starters.
