News Summary

The Brazos County A&M Club will hold its Coaches’ Night fundraiser to support local students aspiring to attend Texas A&M. The event features several coaches, including Mike Elko and Bucky McMillan, and tickets are available for purchase. Proceeds will enhance educational opportunities for students. Additionally, Texas A&M football looks to rebound from a prior loss as they prepare for an important upcoming game.

BRYAN, Texas – The Brazos County A&M Club is set to host its annual Coaches’ Night fundraiser on Wednesday, May 21, at 7 p.m. in the Legends Event Center. This event offers attendees a unique opportunity to meet several Texas A&M coaches, including football head coach Mike Elko, women’s golf coach Gerrod Chadwell, and new basketball coach Bucky McMillan. The proceeds from the event will go directly toward supporting students in the Brazos Valley who aspire to attend Texas A&M or are currently enrolled at the institution.

Tickets for Coaches’ Night are available for purchase online and start at $150. The funds raised are expected to significantly impact local students, providing them with more opportunities for education and resources at Texas A&M. David Becot, president of the Brazos Valley A&M Club, emphasized the importance of community support in achieving these goals.

As the fundraiser approaches, the Texas A&M football team is looking to recover from an opening loss in the season. The Aggies suffered a 23-13 defeat against No. 7 Notre Dame in their first game of the season. This loss has left Texas A&M with a record of 0-1, prompting the team to reassess their performance. The matchup against Notre Dame was played at Kyle Field, drawing an impressive crowd of 107,315 fans.

In the game against Notre Dame, Le’Veon Moss stood out as the leading rusher for the Aggies, gaining 72 yards on 20 carries, marking a personal record for him. Quarterback Conner Weigman faced challenges during the match, completing only 12 of 30 passes for 100 yards and throwing two interceptions. On the defensive side, Taurean York and Will Lee III each made nine tackles, contributing to the team’s efforts despite the loss.

One of the critical issues highlighted from the game was Texas A&M’s struggles with offensive rhythm, as they lost the turnover battle 2-0 and missed several key opportunities, including touchdowns and crucial first downs. Coach Mike Elko acknowledged the necessity for improvement in their run defense, acknowledging that the team allowed nearly 200 rushing yards to Notre Dame.

Looking ahead, Texas A&M will face McNeese on Saturday, September 7, 2024, at Kyle Field. This game is being labeled as a “get it right game” for the Aggies, providing them an opportunity to address the mistakes they made in their previous performance. McNeese heads into the match with a record of 1-1, and the matchup is seen as crucial for Texas A&M to regain momentum in their season.

Coach Elko expressed confidence in quarterback Conner Weigman’s potential to bounce back after a difficult start to the season. As the Aggies prepare for the upcoming game against McNeese, there is a sense of urgency among the players and coaching staff to improve and perform better on the field.

The Coaches’ Night event and the upcoming game against McNeese serve as key events for the Texas A&M community, reinforcing both support for students and the football team’s quest for improvement as the season progresses.
