  • PAGE 6 THE WESTERN CAROLINIAN THURSDAY JANUARY 23^ 1975 ^V^sr^C^^cpQAT 21 recruits signed) Lady Cats bow to ur for football team I ^h close 67-64 score Western Carolina University's football staff, choosing to campaign close to home this year, has continued its roundup of Western North Carolina's prize football talent. Ty Smith and Dickie Woodard, a pair of key performers in Sylva-Webster High's much acclaimed 36-1-1 football show of the past three seasons, have signed WCU athletic grant-in-aid awards. The two heavily recruited athletes were signed this past week end by Bob Setzer, a WCU assistant coach. Smith established himself as one of the state's top prep lineman when he turned in an outstanding performance as defensive captain of North Carolina's victorious Shrine Bowl team. The 5T0", 197 pound defensive ace was named to the All-Western North Carolina scholastic team, the Greensboro Daily All- State team, and was a three-time All-Smoky Mountain Conference selection. Woodard quarterbacked the Golden Eagles to the 1973 State AAA Championship as a junior and was also selected as his team's outstanding defensive back that season. Steve Dunn, a six-foot, 200 pound lineman from Red Springs, was signed to an athletic grant- in-aid by WCU's defensive coordinator Don Powers. He joins Pisgah's Joel McCrac- ken, Robbinsville's Andy Jordan, Smith of Sylva-Webster and Or- rin Colson of South Stanly as members of the state's elite prep team that have signed to play for the Catamounts. Powers added that WCU plans to use Dunn as an offensive center, but "he has all the tools to play defense." He was an All-East selection and also excels on Red Springs High's track and field team. Western Carolina has now signed 21 outstanding high school football players in the past six weeks and 20 of those recruits are products of North Carolina high schools. Hank Komodowski Western Carolina University's women's basketball team lost a close one last night when the Lady Cats bowed to the University of Tennessee 67-64. WCU tied the game with a minute to play, but the Tennessee girls hit a key basket and free throw to insure the victory- The Lady Cat's Brenda Johnson hit a beautiful turnaround jump shot in the last minute, but UT added two more free throws seconds later to give them the winning margin. The next game for Western's Lady Cats will be on the road this Friday against Wake Forest This will be followed by a match with Elon College on Saturday, again in Winston- Salem. The next home game for the women's team will be next Tuesday when the Western squad will play host to Winthrop College. Cats edge Belmont, 81 - 78 By Hank Komodowski Sports Editor In one of the strangest, if not closest games played in Reid gymnasium this year, the Western Carolina University basketball team edged Belmont Abbey College 81-78 in overtime last night. The win was the third a- gainst one loss for new Coach Fred Conley, and brings the Cats season record even again at 8-8. The close side of the game comes from the fact that it was the first home extra period for the Western squad. The strange side comes from the fact that it was the first boxing match WCU fans have seen in Reid. With about seven minutes left in the game, Western Carolina center Kirby Thurston got angry after being hit in the face with flying elbows from amn iiiiiuiiiuiiiiiiiuiiiiiiinimiiiiii iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiimiiiu LITTLE RED BARN DISCOUNT BEVERAGE CENTER BEER and WINE foss Avmm (across horn Run Hit) PboM 456-8552 Dalr Prodxts-Gas-Porty Supplies Master Ckrga-PMlip 66-Baak Aowrkord Hoiored OPEN 7:30 till 11PM Belmont Abbey's Mike Bona. As a result, Thurston threw some punches back and was ejected from the game. (A ref never sees the first player's punch),, The Crusaders obviously got the right man out of the game, as Thurston had already tallied 30 points on 12 for 14 shooting while adding 11 rebounds. In fact it was Thurston that scored the first eight points of the game. And so, after leading 46- 36 at halftime, the WCU team faltered to a 75-75 score at the end of regulation play. The Cats came to life in the extra period, however, to out- score the Crusaders 6-3. Another reason for the Cats third win in its last four games was the unbelievable 77 per cent shooting from the floor for the Western squad in the first half. This went down in the next period, but a 61 per cent shooting clip for the night was helpful. Belmont Abbey hit on 40 per cent of their field goal attempts. Besides the scoring of Thurston, who had 19 at half- time, WCU's Lee Gibbs hit for 12 points while John Howard added 11. Gibbs also hit three key free throws in the overtime to preserve the win. Leading point man for the Crusaders was Julian Miller with 20. The next game for the Catamounts will be Saturday night in Reid Gym when the opponents will be that team from the big city, UCN-Asheville. Gametime is slated for 7:30. Western will be on the road Monday night at Carson- Newman College for a rematch with the Eagles. WCU won the first meeting, 86-68.
