Custom Engraving, genuine OMC products By Ken Sury Sports Editor When the Texas A&M men’s bas ketball team walks onto the court to night to face Oral Roberts at 7:30 p.m. in G. Rollie White Coliseum, the struggle could be, well, titanic. A&M Head Coach Shelby Metcalf said he expects the Titans, 1-2, to provide a tough contest for the 1-1 Aggies. “We really need to play well,” Metcalf said. “They’ve got a lot of good athletes and good jumpers. They were the preseason pick to win their conference (Midwestern).” Metcalf said the Titans are similar to the Aggies. Oral Roberts has two top seniors back in 6-7 center Mau rice Smith and 6-6 forward Akin Akin-Otiko. ORU Coach Ted Owens also is rebuilding his squad with ju nior college transfer players. Akin-Otiko is the Titans’ top re bounder with an average of 11 re bounds per game. Smith, who just recovered from a knee injury, came off the bench in his first action of the season to score 19 points against Cal- ifornia-Irvine Saturday night. The Titans lost the game on a last-second tip-in shot, 92-91. How well each team rebounds to night could be the key to winning the game, Metcalf said. The Aggies have been outrebounded in both their games. A&M forward Mike Clifford has been the A&M de fensive workhorse so far, averaging 12.5 rebounds a game. But the Ag gies haven’t seen much rebounding out of its big junior college transfers Jules Moor and Jessie Spinner. “It’s like in the game against Okla homa,” Metcalf said. “The good news is that Mike Clifford had 13 re bounds, but (6-0 guard) Todd (Hol loway) was the second-leading re bounder. We need to continue to score out of our defense, that’s one edge we had against Southwest Texas (in A&M’s 86-76 win Thurs day night).” Holloway has been the offensive spark plug for the Aggies. The se nior is averaging 19.5 points after the first two games, but has had to put in a lot of time on the court since point guard Darryl McDonald has been sidelined with a twisted knee. McDonald, however, will be wearing a brace and may play tonight to give Holloway some rest. Junior college transfer Keron Graves has averaged 14.5 points from off the bench, and forward John Trezvant has pitched in 14 points per game.

LA MARQUE (AP) — More than 2,200 crowded into the La Marque High School auditorium Sunday af ternoon to mourn the death of Hugh Massey, the head football coach who led the school to its best season ever. “His caring for others was unbe lievable,” said John Jenkins, a Uni versity of Houston assistant football coach and a friend of Massey’s. “He was a great Christian,” Jen kins said. “Therefore, facing death was no major obstacle for him.” watched their team score an 84-yard touchdown on its first offensive play. “It was the play Coach Massey called in practice Thursday, the day he died,” said wide receiver Ronnie Johnson after the game. Jenkins called the 39-year-old “a wonderful husband, a model father, a great leader to his coaches, an ex cellent teacher to his team and a loyal friend.” Several football players broke down in tears after Jenkins and two ministers spoke. Vehicles carried tempera paint slogans of “God Bless Massey” and “All the Way for Massey,” and cheerleaders, coaches and fans tied black mourning bands to their arms. “We tried to put it (Massey’s death) behind us until the game was over,” quarterback Mike Little said. However, the memory of Massey, killed when his auto rammed a stalled flatbed truck on Interstate 45 late Thursday night, hung heavy over the La Marque team and even over the opposing high school. Playing in memory of the popular Massey, the Cougars advanced Sat urday to a Class 5A semifinal match against Austin Reagan by defeating MacArthur, 26-10, in the quarterfi nals. La Marque is now 13-1. “In the fourth quarter I’m usually starting to get tired, but not this time,” La Marque offensive guard Calvin Bell Cahee said. “In the fourth quarter, I was strong. I was doing it for someone. For Coach.” La Marque-area residents filled their side of the Astrodome and Before the kickoff, a spokesman for the MacArthur Generals ex pressed “the sympathy and sorrow” his school had for La Marque over Massey’s death. Massey came to La Marque in 1983 as head football coach and ath letic director after a successful head coaching stint at Weatherford. He is survived by his wife Janet and two sons, Hugh III and Gareld. Additional services will be 2 p.m. today at the Church of the Green wood Cemetery in Fort Worth with burial at the Greenwood Cemetery.
