  • 6 Thursday, February 10, 1972 THE WESTERN CAROLINIAN UNC-A tonight! HOWARD WINSTON — "Oh Man! I would love to be on that fould line with a one point lead, three seconds to play, LARRY GRANT—"Theyhave haunted us for the last two years, but the Bulldog's spell will be broken tonight." WILSON SCOTT — "I felt helpless in that championship game, sitting on the bench with an injury. I want a chance to do something about it this time." ROD SNYDER —"No doubt this is the most important game of the season thus far. I think I'll have "Hawk Litz" bless my shooting arm before we go on the court.'' It is probably impossible to suplicate the anxiety, excite ment and finally, after fifty minutes, the heart-stopping climax of last season's double- overtime NAIA District 6 Champsionship game between I'NC-Asheville and Western Carolina Iniversity. Tonight's game in Asheville is not being billed as a championship game. . .it is only a regular season contest between a pair of district 6 teams. ..but the outcome carries almost as much importance a.^ last March's thriller in Greenville, South Carolina. Coach Jim Hartbarger's WCU Catamounts and Bob Hartman's UNC-A Bulldogs find themselves in an extremely tight race for a berth in the four-team d s-= trict playoff which is scheduled again for Greenville's Memorial ^Auditorium, March 6 and 8. Thursday night's winner takes a giant step towards the playoffs while odds will mount a- gainst the loser. UNC-A shows a 5-2 district record while WCU is a half game better at 5-1. The Bulldogs cannot afford a loss as they still face three tough road trips. A loss to the Catamounts and another slip-up would virtually eliminate Hartman's crew. Western, on the other hand, must win at Asheville, Thursday or at Baptist College in Charleston next week plus take its two remaininghome contests with Voorhees and Allen to be assured of a playoff spot. "I would hate to go into that game at Charleston knowing we had to win to make the playoffs" says WCC's Hartbarger. The rivalry between the two state supported mountain institutions grows more intense with each meeting. I NC-A holds a 4-3 edge in the surprisingly young series, but Western won the last game, 102-94, played earlier this ssason in Cullowhee. The Catamounts, 13-10 overall, have been up and down all season due to inconsistent shooting. They reeled off a seven gam-:- win streak in Jan» uary, but three miserable offensive perlormanees against Elon, Appalachian and Mars Hill led to defeats and destroy^ ed much of the enthusiasm Hartbarger's squad had created in the post holiday period. In their last outing Monday- night, the Cats displayed signs of recovering as they downed a fine Carson-Newman team 93-86. The lineup of guards Howard Winston and freshman Albert Toomer: forwards Rick Campbell and Rod Snyder and ALBERT TOOMER — "I've heard Wilson talk about Kan" sas City and I think I would like to see it. I plan to earn part of that airplane ticket tonight." RICK CAMPBELL — "We've got something to prove...that we can win the big ones...and I can't think of anyone I'd rather beat." DAVID SMITH — "I like to play in the big games and this the biggest one I've played in at Western. I'm ready." VA1BJTWE JIM HARTBARGER—"We're not going over there to lose, and we can't tie, so...." sbbbsssbbbbbbbbbbbHbbbbbbbssbbbsbbssbsbsbbSbbbbbbssbsbV Anyone who is planning to attend or interested in attending the WC(-Gardner Webb basketball game in Charlotte Feb. 23 may be interested in getting a bargain. The game, to be played in the Charlotte Coliseum prior to the ABA Carolina Cougar-Flor~ idian game will be a package deal. That is, you pay one price for both games. If a group of 50 or more signs up in the athletic office, they will be able to purchase $5.00 seats for $1.50. So go down and sign up to save dough. DANECRAFT ♦ ro 3nJ OF Cd-UA^t". am T LlCUllO' 6-foot-8 center David Smith worked well together. Smith continues to top the WCl scoring with a 21.8 average, and re bounding as he is averaging 15.7 grabs. Winston, the Cats defensive ace, is second with a 15.1 point average. Campbell t£ scoring a 13.1 clip while Toamer and Snyder are get ting 5.6 and 5.0 points a game,, respectively. INC-Asheville ran off seven in a row before falling to Bel. mont Abbey Monday night 113- 106 in overtime. The Bulldogs are sporting a reorganized lineup of Gary St. Clair at center; Mike Grace and Jim Pheasant in the backcourt; and either Dean Nanney and DurwardDun- lap or Gray Ga.itier at the forward spots. Nanney tops the Bulldogs scoring with 15.9 points a game with Pheasant the only other double figure scorer at 12,3. Western will stay on the road through the weekend with a trip to Atlanta i Saturday for a meeting with Oglethorpe University. The Catamounts return to Reid Gymnasium next Tuesday to face the surprise of the Car= olinas, Belmont Abbey and Thursday, hosting Voorhees. CUIIOVOHES limn Matiaee Sat. 2:30 Fri. - Sat.
