Dillard's is pleased to announce the formation of the Spring '88 College Advisory Board The Dillard's College Advisory Board is being formed with the intention of developing a direct communication link with the Texas A&M University student body. Our goal is to use this feedback in a constructive manner to better serve the student customer. Applications are available for college men and women at Customer Service and are due Feb. 1. Con tact Pam Johnsen at 764-0014. Dillard's POST OAK MALL, HARVEY ROAD AT HIGHWAY 6 BYPASS, COLLEGE STATION Page 16/The Battalion/Monday, January 18, 1988 Top (continued from page 13) 8. Darryl McDonald “D-Mack, the Playground King,” as A&M Basketball Head Coach Shelby Metcalf quickly dubbed Mc Donald, bounced on the SWC scene with a no-look backdoor pass and a tomahawk slam-dunk. His incredible on-court feats earned him “Shot of the Week” honors from CNN two weeks in a row and kept Aggie fans on the edge of their seats all season long. His teammates eventually began to expect impossible passes coming their way from McDonald instead of letting them bounce off their hands. The junior-college transfer emerged as a full-time starter and designated spark plug. In the SWC tournament, McDon ald and the Aggies easily beat three of the top four seeds — including conference champion Texas Chris tian in the opening round — to claim the SWC tournament crown and a berth in the NCAA tournament. Mc Donald was named to the confer ence All-Tournament team. 7. Winston Crite Crite was the leader of the Aggie basketball team and emerged as one of the most dominating players in the conference. The senior was a consensus All-SWC choice and was named SWC Tournament Most Valuable Player. Crite, lightly regarded by profes sional scouts because of his lack of height, was a low draft pick of the Phoenix Suns and made tne roster. 6. Lance Pavlas The highly touted quarterback from nearby Tomball finally got his chance to show his talents in college football. He was the major reason the Aggie coaching staff was not more upset over the defection of Ke vin Murray, and many expected him to win the job from senior Craig Stump quickly. He won the job all right, but he lost it quickly. His strong passing Aggies (continued from page 13) Why did they keep shooting from outside? Largely because the greatly undersized Aggies put a strangle hold on the Hogs. Arkansas missed 11 shots inside the paint against the team with two starters over 6-4 (who are gener ously described as 6-7 and 6-8). The Hogs have four players taller than either of them. But those two Aggies are the main reason A&M looks as good as it does. Donald Thompson and Doug Den- arm was offset by his weak reading of defenses. However, he remained an option in the A&M offensive at tack for the rest of the season. That became obvious at the Cotton Bowl. 5. Bucky Richardson The Aggie coaches were baffled on the Monday night before the A&M-Baylor game. The game was crucial for the survival of A&M’s hopes for a third consecutive trip to the Cotton Bowl, and the A&M of fense to that point had been, at best, erratic. A better word might be “pathetic.” The decision: restructure the of fense. The solution: an option- oriented offense instead of a pro-set offense. The key: a freshman from Baton Rouge. Richardson got the starting nod and led the team to a 31-10 win. Starting off and on for the rest of the season, Richardson wowed fans with his running ability — starting on his second play from scrimmage against Southern Mississippi when he broke free for an 82-yard touch down. 4. Darren Lewis The freshman from Dallas Carter High School got headlines before he took a single handoff. Lewis scored a 470 on his SAT, causing a furor over recruitment of athletes who do not meet minimal scholastic require ments. Lewis later scored high enough for admission. He made his presence felt imme diately. Instead of being redshirted as he expected, Lewis played in the opener against Louisiana State and was used extensively throughout the season. He rushed for 714 yards, aver aged 5.3 yards per rush, and was named to many second-team All- SWC lineups. He was a consensus choice for SWC Newcomer of the Year. 3. The Class of *87 seniors Roger Vick started an avalanche of Aggies in the 1987 NFL draft by nis have provided the inside play necessary to complement the back- court acrobatics of Darryl McDon ald. Thompson, a junior-college trans fer with two years of eligibility re maining, ranks sixth in the confer ence in rebounding with eight per game. That’s almost one of every three Aggie boards. Plus he’s averag ing 14 points per game.
