That, in turn, could be the best thing for the Rockets as they strive for an NBA champi onship. Horry and teammate Matt Bullard briefly were swapped for Detroit forward Sean Elliott, but the Rockets nixed the deal after team doctors discovered El liott suffers from kidney trouble. Horry and Bullard, newly ex iled from Houston, were sent right back in one of the most em barrassing situations in team his tory. But Horry says it wasn't until the attempted trade, when Rock ets teammates criticized team management for trying to deal the second-year forward, that he realized his value to the team. Softball Continued from Page 5 Truelove, Jennifer McFalls and Merry Mapp provided the of fense in the 4-1 victory. In the second game, the fresh men pitching duo of Kassie Wilcox and Christy Bunting held Sam Houston at bay while the of fense was able to take advantage of Lady Kat errors to score two runs in the top of the fifth. The runs broke open a score less game, and the Aggies were able to hold on for a 2-1 win. Wilcox, 3-0, went five innings to earn the win while Bunting continued her steady perfor mance finishing off the Lady Kats.

He over came doubts about his size, 5-foot-9, and academic abili ty to succeed at A&M. Edwards lists his biggest ac complishment as being with the "guys" and not the individual records. "My biggest accomplishment is playing witli a bunch of guys who care about me," he said. "They re spect me as a human being." He said all the doubters made him work harder and now they doubt he can play in the NBA but he wants to prove them wrong. "It just pushes me and makes me a better person," Edwards said. Edwards said he hopes the un derclassmen have learned from the seniors. "They have no choice but to look and learn," he said, "You'll know next year if you have made an impression. We fought off cir cumstances we had no control over. M ichael Smith t r a n s - ferred from Iowa Western Community College and Barone said he has made some great strides this year. Smith said he has learned a lot Smith and hard work and determination helped him reach his goals. "If you work hard enough, you can accomplish thd goals you set for yourself," he sajd. , He said he will also be sad at the last last home game but he's happy to see the team's progress. B rett Murry ! T r a n s - ferred his junior year to A&M and has become a major part of the Ag gies' success. Murry said it was tough when he first got here be cause every body was new. "I was one of the first people here when Barone got here," he said. "Everybody was new. That was a hard way to start the sea son." But the team has made a phe nomenal improvement and , Mur ry said, he's proud of the way the team has come together. Murry also stresses the hard work ethic to the underclassmen and to give 100 percent all the time. "I hope they have learned from us about a work ethic," he said, "I just hope they saw us and pass on that work ethic to however comes after them." Murry said he will be sad on Saturday but he's happy for all the great moments and friends he's made at A&M. "It will be sad but I'll also feel like I've had a full career here," he said. T ony Barone, Jr. endured some rough times at the be ginning of his A&M career but he said he was happy he came to A&M. He said has made some great friends C huck Hender son came to A&M as a walk-on player and is now the all-time A&M career three point shooter. Henderson said he worked hard to prove to people that Henderson Barone, Jr. Murry and he enjoyed the working rela tionship with his father. Barone said he came to A&M with his father to help him rebuild A&M's basketball program. He said not as a star player but one who goes out and sets an exam ple. "When I was at another col lege, I told my dad I wanted to help him," Barone said. "I came down with the intentions of just helping him build the program." • Barone said he has grown up Hickey Continued from Page 5 A&M was going to take care of the women's sports," Hickey said. "We really started from scratch, and it's taken longer than I had wanted it to. But we are in a great position right now to continue to grow." And what a position Hickey has brought the Lady Aggies to as they travel to Lubbock tomor row to play for the Southwest Conference championship. With A&M's win Wednesday night at Baylor, the Aggies stand at 20-5 record, including an 11-2 mark in the SWC. During her 10 seasons as head coach, the Lady Aggies have suf fered only one losing season, that coming in 1986-87. Hickey's work at A&M has earned her accolades from fellow coaches. Texas Tech Lady Raider head coach Marsha Sharp, a 12-year coaching veteran and the 1992-93 women's basketball "Coach of the Year," had high praise for Hickey's successes, just moments after A&M upset Tech on Febru ary 5 of this year. "What Lynn has done with this program is amazing," Sharp said. "She has brought them from almost nothing to being a contender." One thing no Lady Aggie team has ever done is make an appearance in the NCAA tourna ment. But 20 wins is usually a good indicator of getting a bid to the tournament. A win Saturday at Lubbock will definitely put the Aggies in the "big show," as would a strong showing at the SWC tour nament next weekend in Dallas. Hickey said the opportunity alone to succeed in the tourna ment is exciting for herself and for the team. "A lot of years, the kids would have ski vacations set up for spring break," Hickey said. "This year, we really feel confident about being occupied for that en tire week." Friday I T tem h turne< of pol the st; tional They ■ know probh has bt to par educa years.

Henderson said he hopes to leave behind a hard-.work ethic and the underclassmen should strive for their goals. "You have to have a strong work ethic not only in sports hut academically," he said. "They (underclassmen) should try to be the best they possibly can." He said the thought of walk ing on to the floor of G. Rollie White for the last time saddens him. "It will probably hit met after the Southwest Conference tour nament that I won't play college basketball again," he said.
