Warren tops list of Aggies selected in draft
JOHN C. I.IVAS • THE BATTALION
Defensive lineman Ty Warren assists in the sack of Texas Tech quarterback
Cliff Kingsbury. Warren was picked in the first round by New England.
During coverage of Saturday’s National
Football League collegiate draft, an ESPN
fan poll asked which college would con
tribute the most impact players to the pro
fessional ranks this season. As might be
expected, Miami, Penn State and Florida
State were atop the list of options.
Still, while Texas A&M might not be
sending an Andre Johnson or Willis
McGahee in the NFL’s rookie class of 2003,
several Aggies selected could fill important
needs for the teams that snatched them.
The A&M player most likely to make
noise early is defensive tackle Ty Warren,
selected 13th overall by the New England
Patriots. The 2001 All-Conference selec
tion should provide some relief to a Pats’
defensive line that finished 31st in rushing
yards allowed per game last year.
In his senior year at A&M, Warren col
lected 52 tackles and 4.5 sacks despite
missing two games due to injury. While
some scouts were concerned about
Warren’s injury-plagued senior season, his
strong outing in the Senior Bowl eased
many doubts.
Warren’s athleticism would allow him to
play as either a tackle or an end in the NFL,
but New England Head Coach Bill

Belichick said the A&M standout would
most likely end up in the nose tackle posi
tion of the Patriots’ 3-4 defense.
Carl Carey, a former A&M student and
current consultant to Warren, said the ath
lete could not have been more pleased with
the draft.
“Ty is happy to be going to the Patriots,”
Carey said. “He visited eight teams, but he
had an excellent visit at New England and
said it just felt right.”
Warren will be joined in New England
by A&M teammate Bethel Johnson, the
45th overall selection. Johnson is a quick
and athletic wide receiver, but he is not very
big. This shouldn’t be a hindrance, howev
er, as he joins a Patriots team with no start
ing receiver taller than 6 feet.
For the second straight year, the San
Diego Chargers looked to the Lone Star
state to find role players in their defensive
backfield. Last season, the Chargers select
ed Texas Longhorns’ cover corner Quentin
Jammer with the fifth overall pick. This
year, they acquired added depth by drafting
Aggies Sammy Davis and Terrence Kiel
with the 30th and 62nd overall selections,
respectively.
Davis received All-Big 12 honors in 2001
and 2002 and has a 40-inch vertical jump.
Scouts were also impressed by his strength,
as his 19 reps of 225 pounds led the draft’s
crop of defensive backs. Once acclimated to
the NFL, Davis should be a good fit for San
Diego playing opposite Jammer.
Kiel is a sTilid run stopper who brings
the mentality of a linebacker into the sec
ondary. He led the Aggies in tackles in his
junior and senior seasons, and he could be
a role-player for the Chargers, particular
ly in zone coverage situations.
Guard Taylor Whitley was chosen in
the third round by the Miami Dolphins,
rounding out a solid group of Aggies
taken on Saturday.
While garnering fewer headlines than
some flashier players, these A&M alumni
could join a long list of their brethren who
made effective transitions from Saturdays
to Sundays.
Phillies 5 Millwood tosses no-hitter
By Rob Maaddi
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
PHILADELPHIA — Kevin Millwood
ally outdid his former Cy Young team
mates, pitching his first career no-hitter to
the Philadelphia Phillies over the San
Francisco Giants 1-0 Sunday.
Millwood, acquired from Atlanta last
December, struck out 10 and walked three
to record the ninth no-hitter in team history.
His gem came on the first anniversary
of the last no-hitter in the majors, by
Boston’s Derek Lowe against Tampa Bay.
“It was one of those special days, and I
ft plan on doing it every time out, but it
was a lot of fun,” Millwood said.
“I noticed it in the
fifth, but it was like,
well, I still got four
innings to go,” he said.
Using a sharp fast
ball and a slow curve,
Millwood kept Barry
Bonds and the other
Giants’ hitters off-bal
ance throughout the
afternoon — and kept the crowd of 40,016
cheering at Veterans Stadium.
Often overlooked in Atlanta, Millwood
pitched behind Greg Maddux, Tom
Glavine and John Smoltz.
Maddux (four), Glavine (two) and
Smoltz (one) have seven Cy Young awards
among them, but none has a pitched no-hit-
MILLWOOD
ter. The trio has three one-hitters, two by
Maddux and one by Smoltz.
Millwood retired Bonds three times,
striking out the single-season home-run
king in the seventh. Bonds hit a long drive
to right that Bobby Abreu caught near the
wall in the fourth.
Marquis Grissom came the closest to
getting a hit, but center fielder Ricky Ledee
raced back and made a leaping one-handed
catch on his hard liner to right-center to
start the seventh.
Millwood tipped his hat twice to the
fans, who stood the last two innings to root
him on.
The last Phillies pitcher to throw a no
hitter was Tommy Greene against Montreal
on May 23, 1991.
SPORTS IN BRIEF
Women's tennis team takes second in Missouri
Soon after winning a share of the Big 12 regular-season championship,
the Texas A&M women's tennis team fell just short of winning the Big 12
postseason tournament held in Kansas City, Mo.
The Aggies got to the finals with a 4-1 win over Texas on Saturday,
moving on to face Oklahoma State on Sunday afternoon. The Cowgirls
took the doubles point and controlled the courts in singles play as well.
The Aggies' lone point came on court No. 5, where Nicki Mecham
defeated OSU's Zana Masnic in straight sets.
No. 13 A&M takes series from No. 19 Tigers
Cory Patton hit two home runs and drove in five RBIs on Sunday, lead
ing the Texas A&M baseball team past conference foe Missouri. A&M
pitcher Scott Beerer held the Tigers scoreless in his 3.2 innings of relief,
earning his ninth save of the season.
With the win, A&M moved to 35-13 overall and 14-7 in the Big 12.
Missouri dropped to 28-15 overall and 12-8 in conference.
