Head Coach Candi Harvey said Yates has gone above

ma “m
shot, leading the Lady Aggies with 36, but she is also not
afraid to use her three-point abilities at any time.
“I can definitely say that my shooting is my best
attribute,” Yates said. “I usually make more offen
sive plays because I constantly am trying to improve
on defense.”
Harvey said Yates’ three-point shot abilities provide
her with the potential to be a complete player.
“Amy is a confident lady on the court,” Harvey said.
“She is a shooting guard, which is a very important po
sition. She is not afraid to to pull the trigger and shoot
when she gets open.”
In high school, Yates earned four varsity letters and
helped lead the Cleburne High School team to a 117-26
record during the time she was there.
In addition, Yates earned first-team, all-state honors
from the Texas Girls Coaches Association and Texas
Basketball magazine her senior year, and played for the
Lady Magic in the 1995 BCI Nationals where the team
finished seventh.
Yates was also selected to compete for the South
western Junior Olympic Team.
Because of her high school success, Yates looked at
several schools in Texas including Baylor University,
Southern Methodist University and Texas Tech Univer
sity. But Yates chose A&M because she was most com
fortable here.
"I visited many places, but was most impressed with
the school and spirit at A&M,” Yates said. “Of course
A&M has great academics and athletics, but I wanted
to come here because I felt at home.”
So far, Yates has played in every contest for the Lady
Aggies and has started five of 15 games.
One ofYates’ best games was played against Dart
mouth University Dec. 17, where she helped lead the
Lady Aggies to an 89-42 win by scoring 20 points.
Sophomore guard Kerrie Patterson said Yates really
has pulled her own weight for the team.
“Amy is a very good player and shoots really well,”
Patterson said. “We are always confident that she
will knock down a shot. If she doesn’t, she is really
hard on herself."
Despite her statistics and amount of playing time,
Yates said she has a lot of room to improve.
“I really need to improve my defense, especially re
bounding,” Yates said. “Coming from high school there
are so many things I need to improve on. I am happy
with my shooting, but I really need work on every as
pect of my game.”
Overall, Yates said she is striving to help the Lady Ag
gies improve on their (7-10, 1-6) record and win more
games in the second half of the season.
“If anything, I want to help my team to do good in
the Big 12,” Yates said. “In Division I, tearhs are expect
ed to play well because the competition is very tough.
I just remind myself to never try to give up.”

Wildcats
Staff and Wire Reports
MANHATTEN — The Texas
A&M Women’s Basketball Team
continued its skid Saturday
when it dropped its fourth con
ference game to Kansas State
University, 73-61.
The Lady Aggies had a rever
sal of fortune in the first half.
This season, A&M has explod
ed out of the starting gate but
only mustered 21 points in the
first half.
Senior guard Lana Tucker was
bothered by sore knees through
out the contest and scored only
seven points. Freshman Prissy
Sharpe picked it up by scoring a
team-high 20 points.
A&M outscored the Wildcats
by five points in the second half
but could not makeup its 17 point
first half deficit.
The Lady Aggies travel to Co
lumbia, Mo. Wednesday to take on
the University of Missouri Tigers.
Favre
Continued from Page 7
Favre dominated the regular sea
son, throwing for an NFC-record 39
touchdowns and leading the con
ference with 3,899 yards. There
were five games in which he threw
for four TDs, and that dominance
was on display against the Patriots.
The road to this triumph was a
scramble, too, a long and difficult
trip full of twists and turns for Favre.
“In order to experience the highs
and to be in the position I’m in to
day, I had to go through a lot of
lows,” he said in the days leading up
to Sunday’s game. “I think a lot of
people can say that. It’s not rosy for
everybody. As you go through the
tough times, you’re mad, you’re sad,
you’re angry, all of that.
“I feel I do things a lot different
now. I still enjoy myself, but I notice
myself working even harder, physical
ly and mentally, on and off the field.”
