attend Texas A&M University to pursue a degree in horticulture, a |
|

subject that she focused on during four years of high school |
|
|
agriculture classes, while Mr. Rowe intends to study electrical |
|
|
engineering at Lamar University; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, These talented student-athletes have earned a place |
|
|
