Aggie basketball squads
gear up for 1986-87 season
By Ken Sury
Sports Editor
The sounds of sports are every
where these days. The crack of a bat
on a baseball, the grunts and groans
of hard-hitting football players and
now . . . the thump, thump, thump
of the basketball and the swish as the
ball goes through the net.
Yes, basketball is back. The pros
are playing exhibition games and
Texas A&M began practice Wednes
day for the 1986-87 season. The Ag
gies will be out to defend their
Southwest Conference
championship and the Lady Aggies
will try to improve on last year’s 16-
13 season.
But A&M Men’s Head Basketball
Coach Shelby Metcalf isn’t looking
ahead to repeating as SWC cham
pions. He’s more concerned with
molding a team that can contend for
the title.
“I haven’t even thought about
(trying for the championship),” Met
calf said. “We have five junior col
lege players who I haven’t even seen
play (in a game). So it’s hard to eval
uate how we’ll do.”
The Aggies are missing two prom
inent members from last year’s con
ference tri-championship team —
Don Marbury, the SWC’s top scorer
last season, and center Jimmie Gil
bert, who Metcalf called the best de
fensive center A&M has ever had.
“The center position is our No. 1
hole to fill,” Metcalf, who begins his
24th year as head coach at A&M,
said.
“We have no proven centers.
We’re looking at Jules Moor (a 6-8
senior transfer from Baton Rouge),
Jesse Spinner (a 6-10 junior transfer
from Los Angeles) and Eric Bethea
(a 7-0 sophomore tranfer from Key
West, Fla.), but none have scored a
point or grabbed a rebound for
Texas A&M yet.”
But despite the losses of Marbury
and Gilbert, three-year lettermen
Winston Crite, Todd Holloway and
Mike Clifford return to this year’s
ARLINGTON (AP) — Second-
baseman Toby Harrah, a 16-year
veteran in the major leagues, will be
a free agent in 1987 because the
Texas Rangers decided on Wednes
day not to exerqise the option year
on his contract.
However, the club’s vice president
and general manager, Tom Grieve,
said, that does not necessarily mean
that lie does not have a future with
the Rangers organization. We plan
to sit down with Toby and his rep-
squad. Crite led A&M with eight re
bounds per game last year and was
named to the all-tournament team at
the SWC Post-Season Classic in Dal
las. Holloway set an A&M record
161 assists last season and Clifford
can play all five positions.
“I’m high on Mike Clifford,” Met-
Shelby Metcalf
calf said. “He’s not a shooter, so the
average fan doesn’t appreciate him.
But he’s got tjio^e intangibles and
he’s versatile. He’s the best defensive
payer on the teaum.
Metcalf said’be'wasn’t sure who
would be the offensive catalyst to re
place Marbury, but he expects this
year’s team to have more depth.
“Offensively, we’ll just have to
wait and see how the chemistry
works out,” Metcalf said. “There’s
no bonafide 20-point man on the
squad. But we should have more of a
balanced attack.”
The Aggies’ first game is an exhi
bition contest Nov. 18 in G. Rollie
White Coliseum against the Conti
nental Coors Flyers from Houston.
For the women, Lynn Hickey be
gins her third year as the Lady Ag
gies’ head coach. The Lady Aggies
had their first winning season since
resentative in the near future to dis
cuss the situation.”
Harrah, who will be 38 this
month, signed a three-year contract
extending through 1986 with an op
tion year for 1987 prior to the 1984
season while with the New York
Yankees.
Harrah hit .218 with seven hom
ers and 41 RBI in 95 games.
He is currently spending a week at
the Rangers’ Florida Instructional
League camp working as a minor
league infield instructor.
1979-80 last year and finished
fourth in the SWC.
A&M was a young group last year,
with all-time Aggie leading scorer
Lisa Langston being the only senior
on the squad. And Hickey said the
youth is still a factor.
“We’re still so young,” Hickey
said. “I don’t want this to sound like
a copout, but the fall is still going to
be a bit of a discomfitting time for us
without Lisa.”
But Hickey said she expects this
. year’s team to be better than last
year’s and is encouraged by the play
ers’ attitudes.
“The kids are coming up and say
ing,‘Hey, I’m ready to play now.’ ”x
It’s probably best that A&M
doesn’t play just yet because sopho
more Nette Garrett underwent a leg
operation and is not expected back
until mid-November. Sophomore
Debbie Lorenzen, the Lady Aggieg’
tallest player at 6-5, has a stress frac
ture that’s being watched closely.
Since Langston was the only
player lost, Hickey said she expects
strong play and leadership from re
turners such as senior Paula
Crutcher, senior Beth Young, sopH-
omore Donna Roper, junior Evely0
Sanders and sophomore Lisa Jor
dan.
Roper was a member of the wim
ning South team in the U.S. Olympic
Festival and Hickey said that expert*
ence will help Roper out tremen
dously.
Hickey added that she was excited
about bringing some of the nation*!)
top caliber women’s teams to play in
G. Rollie White Coliseum this year.
Other than SWC opponent Texas^
which already is No. 1 in preseason
polls, national powerhouses Loui|
siana Tech, Louisiana State Univeiy
sity and Nebraska will come to A&M;
Aggie Notes . . . Tryouts for walk-
ons for the Lady Aggies’ team will be
held Monday, Oct. 20 at 6:30 p.m,
in G. Rollie White Coliseum.
