  • THE WESTERN CAROLINIAN Thursday, February 11, 1971 11 Cats stop Mars Hill by 13 "We learned to play them one at a time last Saturday night," WCU head basketball coach Jim Hartbarger said after the Cats took their 16th win of the season at the expense of Mars Hill College 83-69. Hartbarger was referring to the fact that the Catamounts opened the fame with a sluggish first half and went to the dressing room behind 39-36. Being behind at halftime puts a team in a dangerous position, but for the Catamounts it was a very dangerous position. A loss to Mars Hill would likely have killed the possibility of finishing number one in NAIA District 6and grabbing the number one playoff berth.. Sometime during the quiet halftime in Reid Gym the Catamounts realized the danger. Opening the second half, Wilson Scott hit a 20-foot jumper. Teammate Mike Manis then con nected on a 20-footer. Scott came back with an offensive rebound and follow-up whichnet- ted WCU two more. Tim Swain went in for a lay-up and drew the Mars Hill foul—when the three-point play was completed WCU was back in the lead again 44-39. The Mars Hill team had not scored and then called time at 17:55. Hartbarger .. . .FROM Page 10 was busy recruiting for this season and by last summer, signed eleven more player s~=- flve transfers and six freshmen, As this season opened, only one player remained from the inherited group. Hartbarger's Catamount roster is composed of only two seniors, one junior and eight sophomores, The future is bright for WCU basketball with those eight sophomores around for two more seasons and future schedules that are sure to catch national attention, Catamount fans have suddenly turned fanatical with visions of a national tournament berth. For Jim Hartbarger, it is just another challenge he lias accepted and, as in the past, he will accomplish his goal and then gamble on some other project, After all, with his record of 208-54, the odds are with him. THE ZAPPER Is caught here in the act of zapping. When WCU's Wilson Scott is on the floor the nets work overtime. Here he is caught in the act of canning two points against Mars HilL A satisfied coach waiting on you at the bench with a victory slapping hand out- streched is like an income tax return.

Wayne Kirby and Eric Fraser helped build the quick 10-0 lead with four first half points each. Dickie Shore led all Benton scorers with six points. Robert Herron had four points for Fir st-Secoad Reynolds. The Catamount defense would not relent. It was two more minutes before they allowed a single Lion basket in the second half (15:22). By that time, Paul Litz had pumped in two foul shots and Howard Winston, one. The Cats led by six— 47-41. AU and all, it was not a stellar performance by the Cats who boosted their overall record to 16-4 and their district record to 6-2. But, it was sufficient enough to nab WCU it's eighth consecutive win at home. The Catamounts have not been defeated in Reid Gym this season and have the remaining four games of their district slate in the friendly surroundings, I Relay team 5th Last Saturday, the Western Carolina relay team went to Lexington, Virginia where they participated in the VM1 Winter Relays.

Mars Hill led the entire first half, but managed only a skinny 36-33 halftime advantage. "We were slow and sluggish in the first half and just couldn't get going in the first part of the second half, but when we sent in Andrews, Craig, and Butler the momentum went our way. They played a fine game," said WCU freshman coach Jerry Hirsch. Brodie Andrews is a 6-foot- 3, 165-pounder and he tallied nine after coming in. Lynn Craig had seven and David Butler had three.
