Jordan Chambless to only play baseball...
I mentioned about a month ago that Jordan Chambless was going to focus solely on Baseball. Finally being coached on baseball during the off-season should pay big dividends for Chambless. When practice begins September 17, Chambless' improvement and consistency will surely be a focus for head coach/pitching coach Rob Childress.A&M safety shifts focus to baseball

COLLEGE STATION — Texas A&M sophomore safety Jordan Chambless, the Aggies' leading punt returner last season, is giving up football to concentrate on A&M baseball, according to a family member.
"Jordan knew that he had to concentrate 100 percent on one sport or the other," his mother, Kristi Chambless, said on Tuesday. "He felt his future was in baseball."
Chambless, a former Corpus Christi Calallen standout, returned eight punts for 89 yards last year, before a season-ending knee injury in the sixth game of the Aggies' 5-6 campaign. He couldn't be reached for comment Tuesday night.
Chambless, 21, was a 12th-round selection of the Cleveland Indians out of high school, and a 43rd-round selection of the Los Angeles Dodgers this summer. Chambless rehabilitated his knee last winter and compiled a 1-5 record and 4.39 ERA as a right-handed pitcher for the Aggies.
The Aggies football team, which had the nation's worst pass defense last season, reports for two-a-days Sunday. Chambless was expected to contend for a starting role.

Bullard
Guard Scores Seven in North's Loss

AUSTIN - It was not the result Brody Greene had hoped for, but the Bullard
High School graduate enjoyed the experience of playing in the state
capital.
Greene and his North teammates fell to the South,
122-116, in the 62nd annual Texas High School Coaches Association All-Star
Basketball Game before 2,803 fans Monday at the Frank Erwin Center.
Greene hit for seven points for the North, while
grabbing two rebounds and dishing out three assists. He also had two
steals.
"You always want to go out a state champion, but
this is at the top, too," said Greene, who will attend Texas A&M
on a baseball scholarship. "It was nice to be able to play in this
arena and a great honor to play in the state capital, the first time this
game has been here in 56 years.
"There are a lot of great players in the state of
Texas and it's an honor to be a part of this team."
In the first quarter, Greene deflected a pass that ended
up in the hands of Howe's and North Texas' Collin Mangrum, who drained a
3-pointer. As the first period was winding down, Greene swished a
10-footer to bring the North within 31-26.
Later, Greene had a steal and then dished to Flower
Mound's Shawn Schepel for a layup as the North pulled closer, 33-28. In
the fourth quarter, the All-East Texas MVP added a shot in the lane and
then drained three free throws when he was fouled on a three-point
attempt. |

Alleman bound for Aggieland

Paper Story
The Woodlands' David Alleman said he chose to commit to Texas A&M because
the Aggies' baseball philosophy fits him 'to a T.' Staff photo by Jerry Baker
The Woodlands center fielder David Alleman had seven
legitimate collegiate programs courting him, but ended up choosing the one that
had almost the exact same baseball philosophy as his.
This week the Highlanders' soon-to-be senior gave his verbal
commitment to play for Rob Childress's Texas A&M Aggies. He chose them over
a host of schools including TCU, West Point, Air Force, Arizona State, Kansas
State and Louisiana-Lafayette.
"I thought A&M was the best," Alleman said.
"They told me their philosophy on the offense and it just fit me to a T. I
went up there for Junior Day and I just loved all the houses and everything they
had up there."
Alleman said the Aggie coaches had scouted him since the fall,
and first watched him in an early-season tournament. Though he didn't have his
best performance, they still seemed to like what they saw.
"The first time they saw me it was one of the worst
tournaments of my life," Alleman said. "But they liked how I competed.
I would walk and work the count, and I fouled off 10 or 11 pitches on one
at-bat. They liked how I hustled. I'm one of those players where it takes me
more than one game to show what I bring to the table."
The coaches even got to see Alleman play in their own
backyard, when the Highlanders met Klein in the Region II-5A Semifinals this
year at A&M's Olsen Field. In that park he displayed the defense and hitting
that allowed him to finish his junior season with a 1.000 fielding percentage, a
.404 batting average and 38 runs scored.
