eating a fish that could have paid
your way through college.
Sarah Vincent of Bethy Creek
Resort reported $1000 worth of
prize fish were taken from her
banks and pier this past week
alone.
Bethy Creek is located on the
northern end of Lake Liv
ingston, off the Trinity River. It
is only an hour and fifteen min
ute drive from College Station.
Take Highway 30 to Hunt
sville and turn on Highway 19
fifteen miles to Riverside. Turn
right on FM 980 (flashing yellow
light in town) and go a mile until
you see Shorewood Drive on
your left. Follow the signs to the
office.
The Vincent's, who run the re
sort, charge a $2.50 fee for fish
ing on their pier or along the one
mile stretch of bank they own.
If you own a long cane pole,
buy some shiners and fish off the
bluff in front of the cabins. There
is a lot of brush in the water be
low that crappie just love to
hang out in. This is the spot
where I witnessed two $25 dollar
fish caught within an hour of
each other two weekends ago.
If you wish to call Bethy Creek
for information or camping res
ervations, the number is 1-800-
537-6251, it just might pay off.

Davis went through tough season
Continued from page 7
Phoenix Suns
stump Mavs
DALLAS (AP) — Xavier Mc
Daniel scored 24 points and Tom
Chambers added 22 Wednesday
night as the Phoenix Suns rolled
to their club-record seventh con
secutive road victory, beating
the Dallas Mavericks 110-96.
Jeff Homacek contributed 20
points and Kevin Johnson had 15
points and 12 assists as the Suns
won for the 10th time in their last
11 games.
Dallas went 3:46 without scor
ing down the stretch until Derek
Harper's basket with 2:34 to play
narrowed Phoenix's lead to 101-
92. But Hornacek's three-pointer
on the Suns' next possession
ended the hopes of the Maver
icks, now 2-6 in their last eight
games.
Herb Williams led Dallas with
30 points and Derek Harper
added 23.
Both Davis and Athletic
Director John David Crow let it
be known from the outset that a
quick turnaround was not the
main goal — a slow and steady
rebuilding process was
expected.
Davis and his new staff started
losing players before the season
even got underway. All totaled,
Davis lost 12 players in one year,
leaving him with seven
scholarship players by the end of
the team's 8-21 season.
That, coupled with an
extensive media blitz thrust
upon the program after the
Syracuse Post-Standard
published a two-part series
alleging misconduct in both the
Syracuse and A&M basketball
programs, made keeping focus
on building a solid program even
more difficult.
Davis said he holds no bitter
feelings toward the University,
even after the results of A&M's
internal investigation forced him
to resign six days ago. The report
listed eight NCAA violations in
the Davis program.
"I think they're (the violations)
minor in substance," Davis said.
"Some happened inadvertently.
We didn't know we were
breaking rules violations. I think
the past experience with the
NCAA affected the decision that
was made.
"But that's the situation that
Dr. (William) Mobley had to deal
with, and I respect his decision."
Davis said his relationship
with reported New York player
broker Rob Johnson led to his
resignation: Speculation began
to run rampant that Davis was
using Johnson to recruit illegally.
' "If you could turn back the
clock and we could know what
we know now about Rob
Johnson, we wouldn't have
gotten involved," Davis said.
"He presented himself as a good
person, then we found out later
about his background and the
specula ton about him.
"That's what created so much
hype — his reputation — and
the fact that we knew nothing
about it just fueled the fire."
The wild accusations
eventually were found to be
false, but Davis said they figured
in his decision not to take legal
action and fight for his job.
"You go back and look at all
the old articles, look at the report
and those points have been
found untrue," Davis said. "I
think, though, with all the
speculation and that cloud over
the program, it would have been
very difficult for our staff to
continue as coaches.
"The media created such a
splash all over, it would have
been difficult."
Aside from ever being
associated with Johnson, Davis
said he had two other regrets
about the way things have
turned out.
"I regret that I don't think the
student body really saw the
quality of basketball that we
could have provided for them
over the next four or five years,"
Davis said. "But mainly, I regret
that the University's name was
dragged through this.
"It's not good for the school,
it's not good for the athletic
department or the basketball
program."
After those three things, Davis
said he'd rather not focus on the
bad things that happened during
his stint as Aggie coach. He'd
rather talk about the positive
things he'll leave behind, and
the good memories he'll take
with him.
There are three people,
however, that could snow what
Davis could have accomplished
—early signees Corey
Henderson, Kevin Barker and
Damon Johnson.
"I hope all three guys will
continue to come to A&M and
do well on the court," Davis
said. "Those guys are all honor
roll students and all guys that
are going to be very good players
here."
He is also optimistic about next
year's team. Davis will meet
with team members individually
starting today, and he said he
will advise them all to stay at
A&M.
Another legacy Davis will
leave at A&M is a revamped
home schedule, something that
long has been a thorn in the
building of fan support.
Auburn and Alabama both
will travel to College Station in
1992. The Aggies also will starts
home-and-home series with
Missouri next season, and with
Colorado later.
Davis, who said he will leave
College Station after he's had
time to completely think out
what he wants to do, wants to
remember the good things aboul
A&M.
"The good memories are
definitely the people that my
wife Betty ana I have met, which
are people we'll stay in contact
with for a long time," he said,
"Finding out about A&M's gre;
traditions was probably the most
intriguing thing. Also, our
relationships with the players
and watching them grow and
respond to our teachings is
something special."
Davis said he's not sure where
life will lead him now, but he's
confident he and his family will
persevere.
"Whether or not I end up
coaching basketball, I feel that
I'll be successful," Davis said. 1
really want to coach, but I don't
want to rush things. I need to
make sure it's the right situation
and that it's what I want to do,
