  • THE WESTERN CAROLINIAN Thursday, February 11,1971 9. Cats put super 17-4 record to the test in THE home game of season Mike Manis | 6-foot-3, 190 Wilson Scott i 6-foot-4 , 180; Paul Litz s 6-foot-7 , 205 Larry Grant 6-foot, 165 Howard Winston 5-foot-ll, 200 Western Carolina UNC-Asheville •^PI^Hsl Jim Pheasant 5-foot-9, 165 Chris Lee j 6-foot-3, 195 Greg Headen 6-foot-4, 195 I The number one game of the NAIA District 6 regular season is on tap for Reid Gym tonight when Western Carolina's Catamounts face district leading UNC-Asheville. Marling at 8 p.m, the clash will feature the two well- matched teams with almost Identical records. Western Carolina has a 17-4 overall mark while UNC-A has a 16-5 record. It is district records, however, that make the game a doosie. The Bulldogs are currently in first place in the hot district race with a 7-1 record. Western Carolina has a 6-2 record which is sufficient only for fourth place at this time. Newberry and South Carolina State hold the number two and three spots with identical re cords of 7-2. Both of S.C. State's losses have been at the hands of WCU. Newberry will be at home tonight against district foe Presbyterian and S. C, State at home against district foe Benedict. Ihe UNC-Asheville Bulldogs are currently ranked 17th in the NAIA national poll and have an earlier season win over the Cat- amwonts in AshevUle 84-81. But since that game, the Cats have lost only three while the Bulldogs have dropped four. When the two teams met earlier this season WCU's 6-foot- 7 pivot Haul Litz was injured with slreclied knee ligaments and did not olav. Despite that handicap, the first meeting was excitingly close and tonight's game should be closer. Probable starters for the Bulldogs tonight will be Jim McElhaney and Jim Pheasant at guards. Rod Healy at the Pivot, and Greg Headen and Chris Lee at the forward slots, All five UNC-A starters are averaging in double figures. In the first meeting this season, Headen had 31, Healey21, McElhaney 15, Pheasant 4, and Lee 6, Getting the starting nod from Catamount head basketball coach Jim Hartbarger will probably be Howard Winston and Larry Grant at guards, Paul Litz at pivot, and Mike Manls and Wilson Scott at forwards. The UNC-A team coached by Robert Hartman outrebounded WCU 45-47 in the first meeting while connecting on 30 of 70 from the floor and 24 of 32 from the foul line. WCU hit 31 of 58 and 19 of 27 respectively. Carson-Newman falls 95-81 Western Carolina's 1970 Catamounts have added another first to the University's sports annals, Monday night they became the first WCU team to ever record a win over the Carson-Newman Eagles on their home court in Jefferson City, Tenn. It isn't as though the previous editions hadn't been trying. Western Carolina and Carson- Newman have been playingeach other for twe-ify years, maybe more. That Is quite a jinx to break. Although the Cats had taken an earlier season win over the Eagles 97-93 here In Cullowhee, the Carson-Newman squad iiad been mu-m improved recently in winning ten of their last eleven contests, Carson-Newman took an opening 8-2 lead, but the Cats came back on the shooting of Mike Manis' long jumpers to knot the score 15-15 with 1P28 left in the half. C-N pulled ahead again and this time Catamount Wilson Scott rallied the WCU offense with five straight buckets during a three minute stretch, Carson-Newman led at half- time 39-38. Three Cat cagers came through with an outstanding second half—Paul Litz dropped in 19 points, Tim Swain came off the bench for several key offensive rebounds and Reggie Kitchens replaced ankle- injured Larry Grant connecting for 11 more. With 6:58 left to play, WCU held a slim four point lead. A short spree put the Cats up 78-66 as they outscored the Eagles 10-2 in a little over two minutes, Carson-Newman cut that to five (84-79) with about twu minutes left and then pressed, The Cats humiliated the press with lay-ups and foul shots to ice the game. Five of the Western players scored In double figures—Paul Litz with 30, Mike Manis 19, Wilson Scott 15, Tim Swain 12, and Reggie Kitchens with 11, Plyler signs football pact Don Plyler, an outstanding receiver from Charlotte's My • er's Park High, has signed a football grant-in-aid with Western Carolina University, Plyler, a 6*3", 180 pounder, is the nineteenth prepster to sign with WCU during the current recruiting season. Of the signees, he is the sixteenth North Carolina high schooler to sign, Although he missed most of last season due to injuries, Plyler is considered an outstanding prospect as a college wide- out. He has been clocked at 6.5 in the 50 yard dash and has outstanding hands, "Dim has the size and speed to make us a fine receiver," said Western Carolina assistant coach Don Powers, ZzA SPAGHETTI LASAGNE VEAL PARMESAN Sfeeics •/ peer dkeke prepereW •• caff m reqvesf FeerffeGe Open 4 PM. to 111 p>A.Mon.-$at Closed Sundays 456-7977 1I2AIUNSCKHRD.
