The best thing about Plantation Oaks isn’t the
absence of utility deposits. Or the fact that we pay
the gas and water bills. Or the six floorplans and
choice of efficiency, 1, 2 or 3 bedrooms. The best
thing about Plantation Oaks is you get all this for
as little as $170 a month this summer.
That’s less for more.

Saturday, A&M lost to Texas 6-3
in a match at the Pennick-Allison
Tennis Center in Austin.
In that match, Johnson lost to
UT’s Paul Koscielski 6-2, 6-4 in the
No. 1 singles competition, while Pat
Flynn of UT defeated Shaun O’Do
novan in No. 2 singles 6-2, 6-1.
In No. 3 singles, A&M’s Steve
Kennedy beat Aaron Gross 6-7, 7-5,
6-3, and the Aggies’ Wayne Green
beat Mike Emmett 7-6, 6-2 in the
No. 6 singles bracket.
A&M’s only other win against the
Longhorns came in doubles play,
when Kennedy and O’Donovan de
feated Flynn and Emmett 4-6, 7-6, 6-
3.
A&M is now 10-5 overall and 0-1
in the Southwest Conference.
In the Illinois match, Johnson was
down triple match point in the sec
ond set before pulling the game out
to defeat Mark Long 5-7, 7-5, 6-4.
Johnson ran into difficulty early
in the first set when Long broke his
serve three times.
A&M’s No. 1 man struggled with
his first serve and unforced errors
into the second set where he was
down 0-3. Long continued to control
the match and had triple match
point on Johnson.
Long failed to close out the match,
and Johnson picked up his game to
win both the second set and the
match.
“I played the wrong game in the
first set,” Johnson said. “I was re
turning his serve with a slice instead
of hitting it over the top.
