Aggie golfers take second
place at Border Olympics
FROM STAFF AND WIRE
REPORTS
The No. 17 ranked Texas
A&M men's golf team fought
through rain and 47 degrees tem
peratures Sunday to fire a three
round 916 and capture second
place at the Border Olympics in
Laredo.
Aggie junior Marco Gortana,
fresh from his victory last week
at Crown Colony, shot a 221 to
take home second place in the in
dividual competition.
No. 18 Arkansas swept both
the team and individual honors
by shooting a combined 899.

on base and .907 slugging per
centages.
Johnson said the Bobcats have
been playing well in their latest
stretch of games and the team
will have to be sharp in their re
match with the Bobcat's first
game starting pitcher, Chris Potts.
"They played well in Houston
(ranked 21st in the nation) over
the weekend losing a close game
and coming back to beat them in
the final game," Johnson said.
"The pitcher who threw
against us (Potts) is scheduled to
start again, and he kept it close in
the late innings."
In their first outing against
Southwest Texas, A&M erupted
in the late innings against Potts
on February 16, ruining a good
outing by the pitcher.
Potts held the Aggies to a 2-2
tie until an unearned run in the
sixth snowballed into four runs
in the eighth and two in the
ninth.
Jack O'Keefe took home the
tournament crown for the Razor-
backs with a three round score of
218.
A&M's Brent Brown shot a
229 to place 13th followed by Dru
Fenimore's 233 to place 28th. An
thony Rodriguez finished 40th af
ter shooting a 236 follwed by
Mark Wood's 246 to place 70th
and Fernando Ferrini placing
85th shooting 259.
"It was really good to beat all
these regional teams," A&M
coach Bob Ellis said. "I was real
ly proud of the way Marco
played, because it was just miser
able out there."
Brian Parker, who has worked
primarily as a reliever this year,
is scheduled to start the first
game against the Bobcats.
Parker, a sophomore out of
Arlington, has won 3 games for
A&M, compiling a 2.45 earned
run average in six appearances.
Chris Clemons pitches the sec
ond half of the bill, making his
third showing of the year win
ning one with an ERA of 4.15.
Johnson said that Clemons
and Parker are pieces of his
pitching puzzle that he has been
arranging and reorganizing since
spring training.
"As far as potential talent this
is as close to as good as we've
had. It hasn't fallen into place
yet," Johnson said.
Pitchers have been rotated
around the various positions for
the past weeks to test and mold
the staff into steady roles, John
son said.
"Obviously we've got a very
young ball club, we've got four
returning starters and one of
those was injured most of the
year last year."
The Aggies will kick off the
double-header at 5 p.m.

America, bringing his team
leading total to 28.
Fellow southpaw Jeff
Granger is two whiffs away
from breaking Mark Thur
mond's A&M career record of
273.
Sophomore Trey Moore has
a 0.00 ERA, which, believe it or
not, leads the SWC. He leads
the team in victories with four.
But Moore is not just per
forming on the hill. Doing his
best Bo Jackson imitation, he hit
a two run homer against Con
cordia Lutheran last Wednes
day.
"Our pitchers have done a
great job this season, whether it
be striking people out or mak
ing the big pitch when it is
needed," Johnson said. "Con
sidering the pitchers are so
young, I think they are doing
an outstanding job."
Johnson hit the nail on the
head: youth. Granger and
Wunsch are the grizzled veter
ans of the pitching staff, which
is dominated by treshman and
sophomores.
With youth usually comes
inexperience and bad decisions.
Johnson said just the opposite
is true.
"The young guys have done
a great job," Johnson said.
"(Sophomore) Chris Clemons
was a little rusty against Con
cordia but overall he did well.
(Sophomore) Brian Parker has
done a good job coming out of
the bullpen.
"They may be young but
they have made good choices."
Another first year player
who has made an impact is
John Codrington. Sporting a
fastball, curveball, split-finger,
and change-up, the Austin
Bowie product has been used
as a starter and a reliever.
He has no complaints about
the switching back and forth.
"We didn't have many
starters coming back so I was
enthusiastic about getting the
season started," Codrington
said. "I'll take whatever work I
can get."
The right -hander found
himself in a tenuous situation
Saturday. Johnson called upon
him to protect a two run lead
over the final three innings.
He came through with flying
colors.
"John pitched very well in a
tight spot for us," Johnson said.
"This was a real test for him to
see if he could come through
with the pressure on.
"He really fought for us and
did what we needed him to do,
giving the team a chance to
win."
Codrington, along with the
other pitchers, have been doing
a lot more giving than taking
recently. Opponents have seen
their batting averages slowly
taken away, allowing A&M hit
ters the opportunity to bat from
a position of strength- with a
lead.
That position of vigor has
translated into one very im
pressive number.
14 wins and counting.

Kenney
Continued from Pag® 5
limped off the field.
Immediately, he said, he knew
something was wrong. Kemtey
said he saw the doctors huddling
discussing his future. His teaup
mates came up to him, offering
words of encouragement. A final
decision was made by the doctors
and passed on to Kenney.
"I knew something was seri
ous because my leg was just dan
gling there," he said. The only
thing that was broken was my
spirit. They told me that my
knee was torn-up. ' My first reac
tion was to be mad because I had
worked so hard to be a part of
the team and it was over. Plus,
this injury happened in the first
game of the season."
The toughest part was ahead
of him, according to rehabilita
tion specialist Danny Kniffin.
"With something that major,
he was going to be disappoint
ed," Kniffin said. "The toughest
thing in coming back is the men
tal aspect and Steve overcame
that quickly. He had his off-days
but, all-in-all, his attitude was ex
tremely positive.
"The ups and downs that
came along had to be dealt with,
which he did. Overcoming the
low points is half the battle."
A&M secondary coach Trent
Walters said he could feel the ini
tial despair that Kenney had.
"All his hopes and dreams
were tied to playing," Walters
said. "It was devastating for him
in the beginning but he accepted
the fact that things worked out
that way. He is a driven and fo
cused guy."
Watching A&M roll to a 12-0
start, though, was extremely
painful for Kenney. After win
ning the strong safety job, he was
projected as an All-Southwest
Conference pick by some publi
cations.
Standing on the sidelines
watching Michael Hendricks
make plays from Kenney's vacat
ed position created an uneasy stir
deep within him.
"Mike deserved everything he
accomplished because he worked
just as hard as I did but it was
tough watching him out there,"
Kenney said. "I knew I was
missing out on a chance to prove
myself to my teammates and to
the fans.
"The team was doing so well
and I had to come into the rehab
room everyday while they were
out on the field practicing and
having a good time. That was
not an easy thing to do."
The tough part, meaning the
physical aspects of his recovery,
is behind him, Kniffin said. Ken
ney's rehabilitation has gone ac
cording to schedule and now he
is prepared to begin spring foot
ball practice in a few weeks.
But there is one hitch in his re
turn .
"I can't have contact, yet,"
Kenney said with a smile. "I will
get to take part in all the drills
that have no contact. Hopefully,
I won't rush things. Also, maybe
my nerves will be calmed down a
little by them."
Taking it slow is the key to
Kenney's rehab, Walters said.
"We want to get Steve Kenney
back to playing football," Walters
said. "He has a great attitude
about participating in spring
practice even though he will be
limited in what he can do.
