Lady Aggie basketball camp underway
Learning not restriced to court, Hickey says
A pilgrimage:
In search of
the Holy Cap
I am not ex
actly known as
a the authority
of fashion. In
fact, my style
of dress often
has been de
scribed as a
"pseudo
grunge." At
any rate, re
cently I had an
experience that
changed my
life-o-fashion
forever - I got a
new baseball
hat. Although
this may seem quite simple to some,
it was much more to me. It was a
learning experience.
The story begins in a place far, far
away - the couch at my parent's
house. My father found me watch
ing "Welcome Back Kotter" reruns,
and not wanting me to waste away,
he quickly put me to work in the
yard where I could best utilize my
full potential. After a hard hour's
work, my clothes were filthy and my
lucky hat was covered in two-cycle
oil. It was ruined.
Though it was obvious I needed a
new hat, I did not want to give up
my good ol' cap. After all, it was
one of those hats that fit your head
so well, you would forget it was
there. In fact, that hat was a Keith
Richards Special. You could pass
out anywhere, for any period of
time, and when woke up it would
still be on your head.
Anyhow, at this point I was feel
ing a little lost. So I turned for guid
ance to the fashion high priestess,
my sister. Surely her her S.B. days at
Baylor could benefit me now.
She informed me that the old-
style caps were really cool. She said
I should get a hat like the cute guy
wore in "The Natural."
With that in mind I decided, be

G. Rollie White was once again filled
with the sound of bouncing basketballs as
the Texas Lady Aggie
Basketball Camp got
underway Sunday.
Scores of young ath
letes from across
Texas and Louisiana
have come to Texas
A&M to not only
learn from Lady Ag
gie head coach Lynn
Hickey but from the
University itself.
"A lot of these kids
haven't even been on
a college campus before," Hickey said.
"During the camp, they live in the dorms.

Stock car racing had a surge in popu
larity in 1991 thanks to the Tom Cruise
movie "Days of Thunder."
Well, if you ever wanted to drive one
of the stock cars from that movie, the
chance is available, and as Robert Duval's
character said, "Son, there is nothing
stock about these cars."
A group named Team Texas High Per
formance Driving School operates out of
Houston during the week, but spends the
weekend at Texas World Speedway,
where they offer classes in stock car dri
ving.
Team Texas owner Mike Starr, who
has spent his racing career mostly on dirt,
made the move to asphalt last December
when he opened the school.
The cars used by the school are
Chevrolet Luminas and Oldsmobile Cut
lasses that use V8s and have have more
than 500 horsepower.
Team Texas is one of only four stock
car schools in the country, the other three
being in North Carolina.
"I'm trying to take advantage of the
It gives them some idea of what life is like
on a college campus."
The camp, being conducted through
Thursday afternoon, is for high school
girls with at least one year of varsity ex
perience or a coach's recommendation.
Hickey said since the University Inter
scholastic-League (UIL) changed its rules
three years ago and allowed camps for
varsity teams, the camps have become
more of a factor in recruiting. The players
come into contact early with colleges that
might have an interest in them.
"It's a situation where it's legal for
players to be on campus for a whole
week, for the coaches to work with them
and for them to meet the players that are
already here, " Hickey said.
This week's camp has 120 players in
lack of racing in Texas," Starr said. "We
have a great track here that sits unused
some of the time."
When used by the team however,
Texas World Speedway sees a collection
of all types of people with a variety of in
terests.
John Moon is from Longview and is in
the oil and gas business. He is not a race
car driver; he said he came to the school
to have fun and to see what the sport is
about.
"It's given me a lot more respect for
the race car driver," he said. "It helps
you understand what you see on TV and
it helps your enthusiasm."
Another student, Carl Benton, is from
Houston and is the sponsor of one of the
cars used by the school.
Benton said he races go carts with his
son and though he is not a driver, he has
been involved with racing for about 20
years. Benton now sells a high-perfor
mance oil additive and came to the school
for a business reasons.
"I came here to learn more about what
my products do - I get first hand experi
ence and help promote the sport," he
said’.

attendance. That is 40 more players than
last year.
The other two camps that Hickey runs
normally have attendance near 190 play
ers. Due to a lack of facilities there is a
limit of 190 players.
"You cannot make a young person a
basketball player in one week," Hickey
said. "What we try to do is give them as
many fundamental skills and new ideas
as possible."
Hickey is being helped by Lady Aggie
assistant coaches Eileen Feeney and
Cathy McDonald. A number of high
school coaches from around the state are
also assisting with the camp.
"This is a time for us to bring in the
high school coaches, so they can see how
we operate," Hickey said.
"We bring some of the best high school
coaches here," said Lisa Jordon, restricted
earnings coach for the Lady Aggies. "It's
a good opportunity for the girls to work
with coaches from all over, coaches that
have different philosophies."
Hickey said even though she and her
assistants had different styles at one time,
they have blended their techniques into
one system.
"We show them (the players) the A&M
system," Hickey said. "We tell them this
is the A&M philosophy. It might not be
the right philosophy, but for a week we'd
like them to try it our way."
Jordon said, "We tell the kids that their
goal is to learn something new every day.
We want to expose them to as many
things as possible so that they can choose
what is best for their game."
