  • -Ill "^ £\"I?\ Ca?OwIMA\ I HI.'RSDAY. DECEMBER 2. 1976 SPORTS Hank Komodowski, Sports Editor Lady Cat Netters off to 'good start' Western Carolina University's women's basketball team showed a lot of new faces when opened its season Wednesday night at Davidson College. Nine members of the 13-membcr roster are either freshmen or sophomores, leaving just three- seniors and a junior to complete the squad. "I'm pleased with our height and bench this season," says Coach Betty Westmoreland, "but the adjustment of our newcomers will be our biggest problems." "They are all good offensive players," explains Westmoreland. "It's getting the girls used to the WCU style of defense that is our main concern. We use a man-tO-man press, while most high school girls' teams play /one defenses." Western will be trying to improve on last season's 13-11 record which gained them a spot in the Southern Regional II Association of Intercollegiate Athletics for Women (A1AW) tourney. One of the three starting positions which appears solid for the 1976-77 Lady Cats will be filled by sophomore Jayne Arledge. Arledge, an Enka High product and all-state selection as a freshman, averaged 20 points per game last year as a wing. Top rcbounder Brenda Johnson, a 5-10 senior from East Lincoln High, returns at the other wing and another Enka product, 6-2 Janet White, returns at the post. Johnson averaged 12.3 rebounds and 11.3 points last season, while White scored 10 per game and pulled down an average of seven rebounds. Three players will compete for the remaining two positions. Brenda Halford, a 5-4 senior guard, also from Enka. and Gail McFalls, a 5-10 sophomore A. Mountain Parka B.

Freshman Sheila Barker, an all-state guard from East Lincoln, is also a possibility to secure a starting spot. The Lady Cats have a pair of solid reserves in Debbie Pryor, a freshman from Edneyville High, and Crystal Sharpe, a sophomore from Enka who has been hampered by an injury. Pryor was a superb high school guard and Sharpe should be a challenger for a starting wing position when she returns to full speed. Sophomore guard Beth Morgan and reserve pos, Sandra Julian are also likely to see a lot of action off the bench. The Lady Cats meet East Carolina Dec. 10 and then participate in the University of North Carolina tournament at Chapel Hill Dec. 21 through 23. WCU's first home game is January 20 with Catawba College. Cagers take season opener Western Carolina University's basketball team won its season opener Monday night with an 80-73 victory over Mars Hill College. WCU's Jay Lassiter led all scorers with 28 points in the contest which saw the "return of the dunk" to the Western campus. With the NCAA ruling which now legalizes the dunk. Lassiter and forward Ike Mims hit the Lions with 8 quick points (6 on dunks) to post the Cats to an early lead they never lost. Bubba Wilson added 17 points and George Dodkin 16. The Western team, now 1-0, takes to the road for games with East Carolina and Baptist College, before returning home Dec. 11 for a contest with UT-Chattanooga.
