that is. It does bother me sometimes,
but I can understand it.”
But the fans are starting to accu
mulate for her team. She says about
1,000 people turned out to watch the
team play Cal State-Fullerton, al
though more typical attendance is
around 50 to 100.
“It makes you feel that people do
care that you’re winning, that you
are national champions. It makes
you feel you can play for someone
other than yourself and your coach
— you can entertain other people.”
And the allure of the national
championship has affected the team,
as much as it has affected Carrie.
“Ever since I was six years old I
have wanted to be on the team that
was the best.” And now she has been.
But that doesn’t mean the Lady
Aggies are going to play this year
with “Defending National Cham
pions” stitched on their uniforms.
The focus is on this year’s possibili
ties, not last year’s glories.
“That was last year,” she says. “We
know we have another good team,
but anything can happen.”
And Carrie’s performance this
year will be closely related to that of
the team.
“I am a catcher. My every thought
is what pitch I call next, what pitch
does this batter hit, what is Julie
throwing well.”
Last year Brock felt that Carrie’s
speed made it necessary to play her
in the outfield instead of at catcher.
However, when the College World
Series started to get closer, Brock
put her back behind the plate. But in
the meantime, Carrie spent a lot of
innings standing in the outfield
watching Shawn strike batters out.
“I was bored,” she says. “I like
catching — I wouldn’t want to play
anything else.”
It does have it’s drawbacks,
though. “After the game, I am prob
ably the sorest person on the team,”
she says with a smile.
And a lot of that extra effort goes
unnoticed. She soaks her knees
while her roommate gets the credit
for a strong mound performance —
in which Carrie called all the pitches.
She admits it might be a bit unfair,
but she doesn’t mind.
Carrie even gets a little recogni
tion herself. She occasionally will be
greeted with a “Say, don’t you play
on the softball team?”
But why not? Even “average” peo
ple like to be appreciated now and
then.

win and rained on the exploits of the
true NBA dunk champion — Do
minique Wilkins.
The first rounds of the competi
tion did nothing more than demon
strate the wide gap between front
runners Wilkins and Jordan, and the
rest of the mediocre field.
Wilkins said at the beginning of
this season that he was on a mission.
’Nique feels he has to prove he be
longs with the “Magics,” “Birds,”
and “Dreams” of the league. Even
though this year’s trophy won’t be
on the Wilkins’ mantel, he proved
he’s definitely one of the "best
around and a genius of the dunk.

Sports viewpoint
I meant Home Crowd] The voices
of thousands of wild, avid and biased
fans created great decibels that crept
into the brains of the judges, playing
tricks on their vision and clouding
their judgements.
The overcast minds of the five
judges propelled Air Jordan to the
Jordan’s final round almost-from-

but even the cheering crowd wasn’t

thumbs-up from the Dr. Dunk him

Jordan said Dr. J, who was sitting
in the audience, told him to execute
that particular dunk. How melodra

Meanwhile Wilkins pulls off a
one-hand windmill dunk that should
