Football recruits sign with schools today
DALLAS (AP) — Dallas Roosevelt
wide receiver Kevin Williams an
nounced Tuesday that he w'ill attend
Miami this fall, leaving only one
member of The Associated Press
schoolboy Super Team uncom
mitted.
Dallas Carter’s Jessie Armstead,
one of the top linebacker prospects
in the nation, says he will announce
his decision today.
Today is the first day high school
players can sign football scholarship
agreements with colleges but most of
the state’s top players have given
verbal commitments to the schools
of their choice.
Armstead, 6-2, 205, dropped
Texas and UCLA from his list but
still is considering Baylor, Texas
A&M and Miami.
Miami won the battle for Wil
liams, who also considered UCLA,
Michigan and Southern California.
Williams was a multi-talented per
former for Roosevelt last season.
He caught 37 passes for 785 yards
and eight touchdowns and at mid
season switched from receiver to tail
back and gained 955 yards and
scored 10 rushing touchdowns.
Williams also returned 12 punts
for 387 yards and three touchdowns,
10 kickoffs for 267 yards and two
touchdowns, and kicked four field
goals.
“I think he finally chose Miami be
cause of the type of football they
play and the number of people
they’ve put in the pros,” Roosevelt
Coach Willie Dearion said. “He was
so valuable to us because of all the
things he could do.”
Cuero running back Robert Strait,
the state’s No. 2 all-time rusher, and
the rest of the Super Team first
team offense and defense already
had given non-binding verbal
agreements.
Strait chose the Baylor Bears after
a trip to Miami in which Strait said
Hurricane Coach Jimmy Johnson
criticized the Southwest Conference.
Strait, 6-2, 215, rushed 1,421
yards last season, giving him a career
total of 8,404 yards, second in Texas
schoolboy history behind Sugar
Land’s Kenneth Hall.
Hall gained 11,232 yards in 1950-
53 and his feat is still the national re
cord. Strait’s career total ranks third
nationally behind Emmitt Smith of
Pensacola Escambia, Fla., who
gained 8,804 yards in 1983-86.
Armstead, 6-2, 205, had 117
tackles last season for Class 5A state
champion Dallas Carter. He said he
is considering remaining in the state.
“I think these are the schools
where I could best fit in,” Armstead
said. “The idea of staying in state
isn’t that bad.”
Armstead says he’ll announce his
decision at 5 p.m. today.
The Texas Longhorns held the
early recruiting lead, having gath
ered in seven commitments off the
AP’s Super Team. No other SWC
school has more than two commit
ments.
Offensive players expected to be
come Longhorns on Wednesday are
receiver Darrick Duke, Houston
Reagan; offensive lineman Todd
Yeaman, Fort Worth Western Hills
and tight end Alan Webb, Aledo.
Defensively, Texas has commit
ments from end David Condon, Ar
lington Martin; tackle James Lane,
Dallas Spruce; linebacker Chris
Rapp, Dallas White; and cornerback
Grady Caveness, Sugar Land Wil-
lowridge.
Strait will be joined at Baylor by
AP first team offensive guard John
Karkoska of Aldine, who committed
to the Bears Monday night.
The Houston Cougars expect to
sign two blue chippers including
307-pound offensive lineman Joey
Wheeler of Aldine MacArthur and
Corpus Christi Carroll running back
Tiandre Sanders, 6-0, 200.
Liberty quarterback Donald
Douglas, who earlier committed to
the Cougars, now says he’ll attend
Florida.
Arlington offensive lineman John
English, 6-4, 220, pledged to Texas
Christian and the Texas Aggiesa
pect to sign Deer Park kicker Tetf
Venetoulias.
Super Team quarterback Tomiii
Maddox of Hurst Bell and firstteit
safety Patrick Bates ol Calvesij
Ball have pledged to UCLA.
Port Arthur Jefferson linebacki
Derrick Johnson decided Mont
night to attend Temple Univer®
following former Rice Coach Jen
Berndt out of state.
Irish expected to win
national recruiting war
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Notre Dame, coming off its
first national football
championship in 11 years, is
about to score another dramatic
victory.
Today is the national signing
day for high school prospects and
the Irish loom as runaway win
ners, according to Allen Wallace,
publisher of SuperPrep Magazine
of Costa Mesa, Calif.
Notre Dame has received oral
commitments from 17 of the 161
players given All-America status
by SuperPrep, including the top-
rated prospects in two of the
magazine’s nine categories —
quarterback Rick Mirer of Go
shen, Ind., and tight end Irv
Smith of Pemberton, N.J.
Mirer was SuperPrep’s No. 1-
rated quarterback. He led his
team to the state championship
by completing 259 of 420 passes
tor 3,973 yards and 30 touch
downs.
The 6-foot-4, 230-pound
Smith is rated the best tight end
in the country although his team’s
wishbone offense limited him to
18 receptions. He made All-State
as a defensive back.
SuperPrep’s top-rated offen
sive lineman, 275-pound Bob
Whitfield of Wilmington, Calif,
has committed to Stanford, as has
the top kicker, Paul Stonehouse
of Los Angeles. The No. 1 de
fensive lineman, 268-pound Sean
Gilbert of Aliquippa, Pa., says he
will attend Pitt. The No. 1 de
fensive back, Eric GeterofNew-
nan, Ga., is headed forClemson.
Clemson, Michigan and UCLA
each have commitments from
seven SuperPrep All-Americans
while Florida State, Ohio State,
Southern Cal and Texas have
lined up six apiece.
A&M hoops squads split games at TCU
By Doug Walker
SPORTS EDITOR
One streak ended while another
continued as the Texas A&M men’s
and women’s basketball teams expe
rienced opposite emotions on an icy
Saturday night in Fort Worth.
The Lady Aggies, in the thick of
the Southwest Conference race a
week ago, found themselves in third
place after the Lady Frogs of Texas
By Tom Kehoe
SPORTS WRITER
The Texas A&M men’s and wom
en’s swimming teams were defeated
by the University of Texas Friday
night in Austin.
The women were defeated by the
score of 66-42 while the men went
down 69-42.
Assistant coach Jay Holmes said
that although they always try to win,
the Aggies went into the meet fo
cused on achieving good times in
their races rather than trying to de
feat the Longhorns.
Texas is the defending NCAA
champion in men’s and women’s
swimming.
Although victories weren’t ex
pected across the board, a few Ag
gies were able to notch wins in the
meet.
Junior standout Susan Habermas
Christian handed them their second
consecutive upset loss, 81-68, at
Daniel-Meyer Coliseum.
Shelby Metcalf’s men’s team
ended a horrendous five-game los
ing streak by upsetting the second-
place Horned Frogs later that eve
ning.
Metcalfs Aggies, who entered the
game losers of 10 of their last 11,
were trying to avoid the worst start
of an Aggie team (1-8) in Southwest
conference play since 1955.
Reserve guard Lynn Suber scored
won the 200-yard individual medley
in 2:05.11, defeating the field by
over three seconds.
However, Habermas’ best race
came in the 200-yard backstroke
when she set a new school record
with a time of 2:05.14 and was barely
out-touched by 1988 Olympian An
drea Hayes.
Holmes said that Habermas
brought a stiffer challenge to the
race than Hayes may have expected.
“Susan just called her — like in
poker,” Holmes said. He went on to
say her performances weren’t un
usual.
“Susan always swims well and she
just did it again.”
Other winning women for the Ag
gies were freshmen Brenda Wright
and Laura Grimes.
Wright won the 500-yard freestyle
in 4:58.83 and Grimes capped the
200-yard breaststroke with a career
best time of 2:21.69.
The men were led by freshmen
Don Boyd and Ernie Vela.
Boyd cruised to victory in the 200-
yard breaststroke posting a time of
14 points to lead the Aggies and
Freddie Ricks added 13 while grab
bing seven rebounds as A&M over
came a 33-31 halftime deficit to
hand TCU its third straight SWC
loss.
A&M used a variety of defenses to
confound the Frogs in the second
half. A 1-3-1 trapping zone was most
effective in holding the Frogs
scoreless for over four minutes in
the final period while A&M held
TCU to only two points during a six
minute stretch in the half.
2:07.62. Teammate Julian Summers
was right behind to nab second place
in 2:08.91.
Vela won the 200-yard backstroke
by almost four seconds with a time of
1:54.57.
Holmes also pointed out the ef
forts of freshman distance swimmer
Scott Shippey.
Shippey took second place in the
500-yard freestyle and third in the
1650-yard freestyle. Holmes said
Shippey’s performance in the 1650
was hindered because he had to
swim the last 1200 yards without his
goggles after they fell off.
The Aggies next competition will
come when they travel to Louisiana
this weekend.
A&M will swim against Louisiana
State University Saturday and Tu-
lane University on Sunday.
Holmes said the women should
handle Tulane but they shouldn’t be
overconfident.
“This will be Tulane’s first home
meet in their new pool so I’m sure
they will be a little extra fired up,” he
said.
A&M outscored TCU 7-2 dum;
the TCU dry spell to take a 40-3i
lead. Metcalf said the Aggies wm
trying to keep TCU’s John Leu/
one of the SWC’s top scorers,oulo!
the flow of the TCU of fense.
“We ran four different zones®
a couple of presses and then plant
a lot of man defense,” Metcalf si
“We were trying to keep theballoe
of Lewis’s hands.”
A&M held Lewis to only lOpoir:
on four-of-11 shooting from ik
field.
Metcalf was hopeful the it
would turn things arouniff ftt St
struggling team.
“1 think the game in Austin(s
85-80 loss to Texas) helped us and’
think it carried over,” Metcalfsa;:
“Hopefully, we can keep buildingo:
this.”
Lady Aggie Coach Lynn Hidf
hoped Iter team would forget t
way they performed in their loss::
the Lady Frogs.
Dana Hargrove scored 20 point
(11 in the second half) to lead TCI
to the victory in a contest the Lai
Frogs controlled from midw
through the first half.
A&M mounted a brief rally earl
in the second half to tie it at 42-42®
a lay-up by LaTanya Irving with 1'
minutes to go. However, TCU ft
gained command as Harms
canned a three-pointer to folios
bucket by Beth Naughton to mot:
TCU to a 47-42 advantage.
A&M could get no closer tk
four points of the Lady Frogs it
rest of the way as the Lady Aggit
fell into sole possession of tliit
place in the SWC.
Center Lisa Jordon led A&M sit
13 points and 11 rebounds wti
blocking three shots. Nette Gam:
added 12 points and Dena Russ
and Donna Roper had 10 polo:
each.
