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.
Metcalf said tonight’s game will be

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.
