Before gaining the opportunity to capture the trophy, the squad defeated numerous local teams, won the Metro Tournament at Southwest Park in Irving, and the Southwest Regionals held in neighboring Duncanville. In New Mexico teams from Tennessee, Washington, Nebraska, Texas, and California tried to defeat the fast hustling Lil' Sports, but were unable to do so. The final game in the national tournament went into nine extra innings but the Texans came out on top as Hertenberger scored the winning run. Following their victory, the team accredited much of its success to the large amount of support they received from the people of Irving. In regard to the entourage they developed during the course of the season, Huitt elaborated, It was really great to know there were people watching you who really cared and wanted you to do good, Before making the trip, the girls had to Above Left: Sponsor Annie Hall, Ronda Sandifor, and Jennifer Heaton converse during the Art Club Breakfast at the International House of Pancakes.

Tammy Bell, Polly Bell, Lisa Lammell, Stacy Crawford, Kathy Nicastro, Tina Cruz, Shannon Busher, Michelle Lamane, Sabrina Shepherd, Devon Gray, Donna Hicks, and Cari Thomas received as much as S16 per game by seating spectators and providing needed assistance to people who attended such sports activities. Texettes played an important role in the complex's operation acting as good will ambassadors towards visitors who were unfamiliar with the stadium. This included the weekly ritual of informing startled out of town fans that the city of Irving did not allow the sale of alcoholic beverages within the stadium walls. The girls were required to work all games, with perfect attendance meriting a cash bonus to those who qualified. Before being hired, each prospect was required to submit an application along with a picture of themselves. The administrative supervisor of Texas Stadium, Bobbie Stanfield, looked over each photograph and resume before granting personal interviews to the applicants he felt would best represent the stadium organization. In addition, friendliness, efficiency, and knowledge of the complex's structure were considered important in the selection procedure. My ' . , ,X ' ' in 1 -' I, , - .

Freshman member Brad Ellis commented on the squad's youth stating, We all realize that it could be a tough year. However, we are rebuilding. This is our chance to gain experience without being pressured because nobody expects us to do well. But just wait a couple of years and we'll be tough. Ellis and Sophomore Rob Spencer were players Marshall expected to do well. The team members worked out l approximately three and one half hours a day, and up to 20 hours a week. Practices were held at Bear Creek Country Club on Monday and Tuesday, with the remainder of days spread among Las Colinas and the Grand Prairie Municipal Course. The fall season began on September 21 with the Sam Houston Invitational in Grand Prairie. After 72 holes, Spencer led MacArthur with 27 pars. Claiming scores of 356 after 72 holds, Bryan Contestible and Spencer topped the list of Mac competitors in the Nimitz Fall Classic at the Lost Creek Country Club. Contestible said, With more practice we could meet our potential, and by gaining more experience we could be a very competitive team. V ., f., .'
