Staley leaps to Top 10;
Kent bags big recruit
From Staff and Wire Reports
From Staff and Wire Reports
By virtue of a dazzling 12-2 sin
gles record last fall, Texas A&M’s
Lynn Staley leaped to No. 9 in the
latest ITCA/Volvo tennis rank
ings.
Staley began the fall semester
ranked 48th and her current
ranking is the highest ever for a
Lady Aggie tennis player.
A junior from Seabrook (Clear
Lake HS), Staley won the presti
gious Longhorn All-American
Classic in Austin to begin the fall,
knocking off eighth-ranked Eve
line Hamers of Kansas. In her
next tournament, she breezed to
the finals of the Southwest Re
gion Championship before hav
ing to default because of a calf in
jury.
In the Riviera All-American
Championships, Staley beat
Michelle Duda of South Carolina
in the first round, before falling
to Hamers in the rematch.
Women’s tennis coach Bobby
Kleinecke said Staley has vastly
improved her game.
“She widened her style of play
and that’s put her over the
hump,” Kleinecke said. “She’s
coming to the net better now, and
that allows her to put away a lot of
easy points. She’s also worked
very hard on her serve, so ther
are no weaknesses in her game
now.”
Staley, who is a health educa
tion major and carries a 3.4
grade-point-average, earned All-
Southwest Conference honors in
1990 as she led the Lady Aggies
with a 31-14 singles record. She
was undefeated in conference
play.
The Texas A&M men’s tennis
team garnered one of its most-
heralded recruits ever this month
when head coach David Kent signed
Clayton Johnson of South Africa.
Johnson, 20, was top-ranked ju
nior player in South Africa in 1987
and 1988, and was ranked in the
Top 25 in the world as a junior in
1988 when he competed in the ju
nior French Open, junior Wimble
don and junior Italian Open. John
son won his school championship
four consecutive years and earned a
spot on the state team from 1985 to
1989.
After high school, he performed
two years of compulsory military
service in South Africa and com
peted for the military tennis team
before coming to Texas A&M.
Kent said Clayton has all the skills
needed to be a top collegiate player
and A&M couldn’t have landed a
better recruit.
“Clayton is one of the brightest
young prospects to ever come to
Texas A&M,” Kent said. “He’s got
excellent speed and all the shots you
need to be a top collegiate player.
“He’ll definitely impact both our
singles and doubles lineups.”
Kent said Johnson could be the
first freshman to play at No. 1 sin
gles during his 13 seasons at Texas
A&M, although Johnson will likely
play at No. 3 singles in the Aggies’
season opener this weekend at the
Ryder/Miami (Fla.) Invitational in
Coral Gables, Fla.
“We’re going to bring Clayton
around slowly,” Kent said. “But he
may be just the guy to replace Shaun
O’Donovan (All-SWC in 1990) at the
top of our lineup.”

Mason, Luckey garner
SWC Player of Week honors
DALLAS (AP) — Southern Methodist’s Tim Mason was selected
Southwest Conference player of the week.
Baylor’s LaNita Luckey earned women’s honors.
Mason, of Jacksonville, Fla., had combined totals of 35 points and 18
rebounds in victories over Rice and Houston last week. >
Luckey, of Tulsa, Okla., scored 24 points in Baylor’s only game last
week — a 78-77 upset of No. 11 Arkansas. Luckey was 8-of-l 1 from the
field and 8-of-10 from the line.
SW Louisiana 84, Sam Houston St. 79
LAFAYETTE, La. (AP) — Aaron Mitchell’s 3-pointer at the buzzer
forced overtime and Kevin Brooks then had five points in the extra pe
riod to help Southwestern Louisiana to an 84-79 victory over Sam Hous
ton State on Monday night.
The Cajuns (15-5) trailed by as many as 11 points in the final 7 min
utes before rallying, and Mitchell’s desperation basket, only his second of
the game, tied it at 72-72.
Mitchell was fouled on the play, but his free throw at the end of regu
lation went in and out.
Sam Houston (4-15) scored the first four points of overtime on jump
ers by Ray Johnson, who had a career-high 29 points. However, Brooks
hit a 3-pointer with 3:27 left and Eric Mouton scored a layup to give the
Cajuns the lead for good at 77-76 with 2:20 left.
Marcus Stokes had 22 points for the Cajuns, while Brooks added 20,
Byron Starks 12 and Mouton had 11.
James Sears had 14 and Kethus Hanks 13 for the Bearkats.
Grambling St. 91, Texas-Pan American 88
GRAMBLING, La. (AP) — Darrell Harris had 24 points, 18 in the
second half, to lead Grambling State to a 91-88 victory Monday night
over Texas-Pan American.
After Grambling (4-14) took a 45-33 halftime lead, Texas-Pan Ameri
can’s Gabriel Valdez went on a 15-point tear, including three 3-pointers,
to make it 70-68 with 10:03 to play.
The game remained close thereafter, and Jamie Hamilton hit two
free throws to make it 90-86 Grambling. Francisco Siller took the ball up
court afterwards and hit a jumpshot with 20 seconds left to bring Texas-
Pan American (5-14) to within 90-88, but Felonta Evans hit a free throw
and Siller’s 3-pointer at the buzzer missed for the final 91-88 score.
Andrew Glover added 20 points for Grambling, while Evans had 19
and Kelvin Broadnax 12.
Valdez had 28 points for TexasTPan American, while Siller ended
with 16 and Jerome Chambers 14.
