  • 1972 football S tri-captains announced A linebacker that was thought to be too small for college football, and a transplanted Canadian who came without a scholarship joined one of the finest prep lineman to ever play in western North Carolina as tri-captains for Western Carolina University's |9~- football i earn. Joe Hunter, a rising junior from Brevard; Pete Morrow, a senior from Oeala, Florida; and former Tuscola High great Jim Davis were elected at the conclusion of spring football practice by the returning WCl lettermen. The Catamounts' head foot- bill coach Bob Waters expressed his pleasure over the selections. "The team has made three excellent choices. They are all dedicated and possess the qualities of leadership." Hunter was twice an All- WNC selection as a linebacker for coach Ed Emory's Brevard High Blue Devils and was voted the outsuinding defensive player in the 1969 North-South all-star game. Despite his impressive credentials, most college coaches felt the o'9" , 180 pounder was too small for the collegiate style game. The Western Carolina coaching staff was no exception, but did give Hunter a partial scholarship, mainly because they felt he could help the fledging WCU wrestling program since he was the state wrestling champion in his senior year. Last fall, as a sophomore, he changed everyone's mind a- bout his ability with his agres- she play and was voted WCU's defensive player of the week in the season opener. He started every game for the Cats and was second on the solo tackle list. Morrow, a native of Paris, Ontario, played his high school football in Ventura, California and did manage to make the frosh squad. He was an occasional starter on the varsity in his sophomore season, and last fall, developed into an outstanding offensive lineman. "Pete is a coaches player and commands the respect of the entire staff and squad," added coach Waters. Davis, unlike his tri-captain counterparts, was highly sought after by college recruiters. He collected almost every conceivable honor a lineman could claim during his senior year at Waynes ville's Tuscola High, topped off by all state and North Carolina Shrine Bowl teamsel- Thursday, April 13, 1972 THE WESTERN CAROLINIAN 3 Erskine bumps Cats 4-0, Bright develops sore arm FOOTBALL TRI-CAPTAINS for the 197.' season have been selected and ihe.\ ponder the coming schedule with head poach Bob waters, From lefi to right: loo Hunter, Waters.

Two grim things happened to the baseball Catamounts yes U-rday in Due West, S.C, and the worst of which might not have been losing to Erskine 4-0. One of Coach Bill Haywood's best defensive weapons,acepil • Cher Dm Bright, developed a sore arm. Bright started the game and had to be replaced in the third inning Haywood said that it's one of those injuries that is hard to predict* '"He could be out onl.\ a few days, or it could be weeks, and it might even be the remainder of the season," Haywood said dis- m illy. Erskine is currently in second place in the District 6 race with a 5p race with a 5-1 mark. The Flying Fleet's only loss was to first-place South Carolina State who has a 5-0 record. Glenn Glover replaced Bright and did a "good job considering he only had two days rest" according to Haywood. Glover saw three runs cross the plate in the fourth inning, but all were bexond his control. The trio of runs came on a bevy of Catamount errors and none of them were earned. However, Clover was tagged for a homerun by the Flying Fleet in the fifth inning. Two other WCC hurlers saw relief action, Bobby Alello and Jack Patterson, as the Cats evened their own district record at l-l. Western totalled only three hits for the afternoon on shots by Dale Fox, Bruce West, and Jim Grove, Nl6rt>LLJ SPfcCV\l£ RIB zmMcl** 6 6.NVAU4 ST. SVU/A*.
