  • PAGE 6/THE WESTERN CAROLINIAN/THURSDAY, September 1. 1977 Cats are back Waters (feels pretty good about it' With just a few days remaining before WCU's Catamounts open their season at Jacksonville State, head coach Bob Waters paused to survey his offensive unit and announced that he "felt pretty good about it." "We've got a good group of wide receivers, running backs and quarterbacks." Waters said, "and, it looks like we've put together an offensive line that can go. I will be disappointed if our offense doesn't have a very productive year." Waters tempered his optimism somewhat with the reminder that three of his first four running backs are currently sidelined with injuries. None of the injuries arc- major however, and all but fullback Andy Jordan art expected to be ready for the Sept. 3 opener at Jacksonville. Ala. Jordan has a fractured thumb and will be out for two weeks. "We are not yet where we'd like to be offensively, because injuries have held us back," Waters said. "But, the potential is still there." Although the quarterback situation is still unresolved, it isn't an area of real worry for Waters. "We are concerned that none of our quarterbacks has stepped forward to be number one," he said. "We have four good quarterbacks, but they all look about the same. What we need now is for one of them to step forward and lake charge." Currently working at quarterback are senior Keith Scoggins, juniors Dee Walsh and Kent Briggs, and sophomore Mike Pusey. "They all can throw and are pretty talented," Waters said. "And, they all have experience, except Pusey." The Cats' only real question at that position is which one will start. All are considered capable. At tailback. Western figures to be solid with Darrell Lipford, last season's college division All-America who rushed for 1,074 yards, and Mitchell Ray, a junior from Pinehurst, running number two. At the fullback spot, Jordan will be out for the season and his backup, Jeff Norman is nursing an ankle injury. The starter there could come from deep in the depth chart or from a position shift. Still, when Norman and Jordan recover, that position is figured to be solid. WCU boasts some of its best talent and depth at the wide receiving posts. Senior Wayne Tolleson has looked outstanding at split end and appears a solid prospect for post-season honors. Jeff Ciccone, also a senior, will be the starter at the other wide-out spot. Ciccone would have played as a senior last season if a severe ankle injury hadn't sidelined him. Behind those two starters are a pair of experienced juniors, Fred Meadows and Wayne Smith, both of whom say some starting action last year. Meadows, from Plantation, FL, has been among the most pleasant surprises in pre-season practice. "He's really come on strong," Waters said. Smith has been hampered by early injuries. Also in the receiving picture is freshman Gerald Harp of Atlanta's Lakeshorc High. Harp, highly touted as a 52-touchdown prep back, has shown exceptional blocking Western's offensive line was considered among the team's problem areas prior to pre-season, but Waters says the unit may be in a little better situation than expected. "We don't have a lot of experience and we're on the small side. It does, however, appear that we have some people who can play the positions and get the job done," he said. The two leaders on the offensive line are both juniors. center Steve Dunn and guard Robbie Vannoy. Those two have been impressive in pre-season drills and could be headed for All-Conference consideration. Dunn, from Farmville, is 209 pounds; and Vannoy, from Asheville, is Keith Kolakowski (a 236 sophomore) and Clarence Gibbs (a 213 junior) have been working at one tackle spot. Both are transfers. At the other tackle is junior Chuck Dellinger (224) from Cherryville. Dellinger is getting a strong challenge from Curtis Allen, a 217 freshman from Dewey Rose, GA. Joel McCracken, a 214 junior from Canton and former Western North Carolina prep lineman of the year, is looking good at the other guard spot. McCracken is backed up b' Linnet Price, who has also looked impressive. Gary Satyshur, a 224 sophomore transfer from Lees-McRae Junior College, appears to be the starter at tight end, but is getting a challenge from several young players. Behind those probable starters in the line are several others who add the all-important depth: Joel Potts (a 237 freshman from Huntersville) at guard; Joey Woods (a 193 freshman from Thomasville) at center; Walter- Wright (a 218 freshman from Franklin) at guard; Grady Prevette (a 203 freshman from Greensboro) at tight end; Dan Hughes (a 244 freshman from Murphy) at tackle; Jeff Dale (a 193 sophomore from Hickory) at tight end; Bobby Peche (a 215 sophomore from Cochran, GA) at fullback and tight end; Gib Clements (a 226 junior from Asheville) at center; Vernon Greene (a 205 freshman from Greensboro) at tight end; and Bill Owen (a 233 sophomore from Murphy) at guard.
