  • Tuesday, February 15, 1972 THE WESTERN CAROLINIAN 3 Cats seek playoff berth this week Despite its up and down fortunes this season, the Western Carolina University basketball squad can assure itself of a spot in the four-team NAIA District 6 championship playoff tournament with a pah- of wins this week. The Catamounts are scheduled to meet two district 6 opponents - - - Voorhees College Ln Reid Gymnasium, Thursday night, and Baptist College in Charleston, • S. C„ Saturday. The Cats, 14-11 on the season, opened their three game week at home Tuesday night against Belmont Abbey, the surprise of the small college circuit this,season. Last week, WCU won two of its three games with victories over Carson Newman (93-86) and CNC-Asheville (67-60) and ihe loss coming at the hands of Oglethoroe (80-75) in Atlanta. The win at UNC-Asheville was a big one for Coach Jim Ilartbarger's crew. The victory gave the Catamounts a 6-1 district record with only three games left to play —Voorhees and Allen at home and Baptist on the road. Should the Cats win two- of thier remaining three league games, they would finish no worse than third place in the regular season standings, regardless of what happens to the other district teams. Newberry (10-2), South Carolina State (7-2), Mars Hills (5-2) and UNC-Asheville (6-3) are the other teams fighting it out for a berth in the four team tourney scheduled for March 6 and 8 in Greenville (S.C.) Memorial Auditorium. At Asheville. both UNC-A and Western played the way they typically do against each other - tight and emotional. WCU was down by six points 33-27 at the half but quickly came back on the heads-up shooting of guard Albert Toomer. The 6-foot-3, Bamberg, S.C. feshman led Western's scoring for the night with 15 points, Toomer was joined by the outstanding play of the other Catamount guards Larry Grant, Howard Winstonand Reggie Kit chens as the WCU ballhandlers disregarded the UNC-A press and outplayed the Bulldogs' the entire night. Coach Jim Ilartbarger's Cats found themselves playing the opposite role on Saturday night though against Oglethorpe in Atlanta, Western was up by six 11 35 at the halL And, this time it was the Cats' opponents in the comeback role, and the hot-hand belonged to the Petrels' William Sheats. Sheats poured 27 points in the second half and had a red-hot 43 points for the night. The 6- foot-6 forward had 13 of 18 from the floor and 17-18 from the free throw line. WCU's David Smith put on a 25-point performance that couldn't overshadow Sheats, but- nonetheless kept the final margin close. The Catamounts will have little time to think about the playoffs as they must play their remaining eight games in a fifteen day span.
