CALL PAULL RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 776-0400 Dillards (Continued from page 9) in 1987, where she played on the South squad with future teammate Donna Roper. Sheri’s high school career was just as storied as her sister’s — if not bet ter. She was named All-District, All- Central Texas and second team All- State her senior year. She averaged 18 points a game her senior year and helped LBJ advance to the regional Finals as a junior. Hickey’s first look at Sheri was in 1987 in a summer league in Dallas. “She was a wheeler-dealer and had some good performances in Dallas and at LBJ,” Hickey said. “We felt that both sisters were two of the best in the state, so we went after both.” Lori revels in the opportunity to play with her sister. “It is great to play on the same team with her,” Lori said. A lot of people in Austin wanted to see us play together in high school. Now they’ll have their chance when we play Texas in Austin,” Lori said. “(Tonight) is going to be special for us and Vanessa (Edwards of A&M) since we are all from Austin,” Lori said. “There are going to be a lot of people there cheering us on and if A&M plays like a team, we might just celebrate our homecom ing with a win.” Sheri is comfortable playing with her sister. “I like playing on the same team as Lori but I also have to remember to treat her like a normal player and not my sister,” Sheri said. As one might imagine, the sisters are roommates. “This is my First time away from home and having Lori around helps,” Sheri said. “I can talk to her and she helps me through the rough times, like exams or feeling home sick.” Lori agrees that living with her sis ter has worked out well. I his is my first time away from home and having Lori around helps. I can talk to her and she helps me through the rough times —like exams or feeling sick.” — Sheri Dillard, Lady Aggie player “Our parents thought it would be a mistake being roommates, but it’s really no problem,” she said. “We have different interest and go our own way, but we are there if the other one needs us.” Another trait the two share is weird nicknames. Lori goes by the name “Sleepy”, while Sheri has the ever-common College nickname of “Grandma.” “I get called Sleepy because of the shape of my eyes,” Lori said. However, Lady Aggie assistant coach Luby Lichonczak says it’s be cause she likes to sleep a lot. Sheri’s nickname comes because she moves slow whenever she’s not on the court and because she walks “bad.” “Sheri gets called Grandma be cause she is slow,” Lori said. Her slowness was witnessed by this writer when it took her ten min utes longer than Lori to get ready for this interview after practice. The one similarity that bothers the sisters is the fact that people get them mixed up frequently. “It is really frustrating someti mes,” Lori said. “There have been several times where the papers have put her picture in the paper and my name on the cutline.” AH Lady Ag fans know Lori is number 31 and Sheri is number 23. Areas where the two are not simi lar are in their style of play and their impact on the team this year. Lori is known for her defensive work and her leaping ability. “We were looking for Lori to make an impact in our defense this season and she has responded,” Hickey said. “She is also one of our best leapers and has gotten us some important rebounds.” Lori is usually the first player off the bench. “I think of my role on this team as the player the coaches call on (or» gressive defense and crash i boards whenever possible,” Li? said. "1 like playing defense and I (5 that when we play aggressive 0 fense everthing else falls intoplaj like it did in the Houston game,"si. said. Sheri’s impact on the team haa been as great as her sister’s, butt, because of what she hasn’t done.lii more because of who she playsl*. hind. Sheri is third on the depi; chart at point guard, behind Ropei “I feel like it is a privilege to gen play as a freshman, but I’m t scared of it,” Sheri said.

The New York Knicks are on top with a record of 30-16 (looks like coach Rick Pitino and Patrick Ewing might be worth the hype), the Philadelphia 76ers are a distant second with a modest 25-20 showing and the Celtics are buried in third with nowhere to go but down. Boston is even struggling to achieve the elusive .500 mark. Teams like Miami and Charlotte would consider it a championship season if they were to make it anywhere close to that symbol of mediocrity in the NBA. What’s wrong with this picture? At this time last year the Celtics were all but running away with the division with a blistering 32-13 record, well on their wav to another Eastern Conference championship and another predictable matchup with the Lakers for the world title. But the Celtics had an obstacle to Steven Merritt Assistant Sports Editor overcome — exhaustion, primarily due to the age of five starters who rarely came off the court. If the playoffs and the championship series could have fit into the number of regular season games played last season, Boston might have had a chance. An extended series with the Atlanta Hawks and a disappointing showdown with Detroit in the conference final brought up the red flag with many Celtic’s fans who weren’t accustomed to teams taking their boys to the wire or even beating them before they could get to the Lakers. “That’s OK. Wait ’til next year,” they said. “We’ve got a new coach now, it was time for K.C. Jones to bow out gracefully.” Maybe they were right, maybe it was time for Jones to step down and Jimmy Rodgers to come in with a new philosophy for keeping the sliding Celtics away from mediocrity. But so far, the 1988-89 season has been cruel to Boston. The loss of Larry Bird early in the season only added to a problem that Rodgers had yet to address: how to allow the aging starting five some rest during a game without being hurt by inadequate bench play. With Bird out, McHale and Parish had to pick up the slack in the post positions both offensively and defensively, while players such as Brad Lohaus, Mark Acres and Reggie Lewis saw their playing minutes increase dramatically. With Boston’s limited substitution policy still in effect, these players couldn’t he expected toproduceal the level of starters and the Celtics lost and are still losing games in which they have blown sizeable leads. Rodgers has tried tocounterthe situation in close games, leavinga mostly veteran lineup in the game for the last quarter in an attemptto hold off any scoring runs. T he strategy isn’t working. Even the veterans are making rookie mistakes and offensive noduction in the fourth quarter^ >een dropping. Rodgers is falling into the same trap that K.C. Jones faced last season, an overworked, aging starting five that is going toburnon toward the end of the season if the aren’t given some rest. The injury to Bird mightbea blessing in disguise because Rodgen is now forced to go to the bench and find those players who aregoingto produce and help the club in the future. Right from the start.
