  • OCTOBER 13, 1977/THE WESTERN CAROLINIAN Dunn anchors offensive line SPORTS bv JOHN HI KSON Sports Editor — Whenever a runningback breaks for a long touchdown or a quarterback drops back and completes a successful pass, vou better believe that the men up front, the offensive line, are doing their |ob. 1 Inoffensive line is the backbone to any offense. This year the WCU offensive squad is operating with a young but sturdy backbone consisting ot fresh man Joel Potts at strong tackle. junior Chuck Dellinger at quick tackle, junior Robbie Vannoy at quick guard, junior Linnet Price at strong guard. sophomore Gary Saivshur at tight end. and junior Steve Dunn at center, "I like playing offensive line and I like playing for Coach (Don) Millwood, the wcu offensive line coach." Steve Dunn said. "We are young this year on the offensive line, but we have come together and some of the freshmen have come through torus." Steve Dunn is one of the veteran members of the WCU offensive line. He was a starter all of last season and is presently the starting center for the Gats this year. Being a college football player, you would imagine that Steve spent his adolescent years playing sandlot football with the kids on the block. But Steve spent his childhood and pre-teen days kicking around a soccer ball in Taiwan. Steve ami Ills lamilv spent two five year periods in raiwan, since Steves father is a minister the first five years in 1.11 Chung and the second live vears in I al Pel. During the ten years Steve spent in laiw.m, he participated in intramural soccer and rugby, and later played on the am in those sports. Allei the last five year period. Steve and his family returned back to the United States. Steve was introduced to the American version of football in the ninth grade. He played offensive fullback ami ilelen sive cornel back at I akeshore High School in Georgia. Steve and his family moved once again to Farmville. North Carolina where he spent the remainder of his high school career at Red Springs High. Steve played both offense and defense throughout his high school In his senior year. Steve made all conference ami all eastern North Carolina honors. He played in the Shrine Bowl and the Fast-West All Star (lame. Sieve entered WCU in 1975. He played behind Gary Nelson at the offensive center position. "During the Murray State game. Gary Nelson received an Injury ami 1 replaced him and have started ever since," Steve I ast season. Coach Millwood came up with a method of judging his offensive linemen's performances. By reviewing the game films, he could find out the percentage of times an offensive lineman success fully carried out his blocking assignments. In Steve's sophomore season, he- had an overall blocking percentage of 83 per cent and had a season high of 90.4 per cent against Livingston University. This season Steve's blocking per coinages are: HI per cent against Jacksonville Slate. HI per cent against Tennessee lech. 90 per cent against Indiana State, and 87 per cent against Furman University. When asked about his outlook on the rest of the season. Steve replied. "It looked as though we were putting it all together alter our performance against Furman. But the rain really hurt our offense against UT-Chatta- nooga. I think that we will have the Incentive to turn this season into a winning one." Alter his college football career ends. Steve plans to return to WCU to attend graduate school and hopefully become a graduate assistant coach. The marketing management major has maintained at 2.6 QPR. Basketball team has promise, problems Cats start new season in Southern Conference The 1977-78 WCU basketball season should prove to be an interesting one for the Catamount students and fans. The Cats have new coaches, new players and will be competing in a new league—the Southern Conference-—for the first time. Western also has a one year NCAA probation to cope with, and just one returning lettcrman from last year. The new assistant coach for WCU. replacing Rick Miller who was lost in the NCAA probation problems, is Jack Fertig, a 29 year old New Jersey native who has been associated with some of the nation's best collegiate programs. During the 72-72 season Fertig was an assistant for Peter Sal/burg at Vermont University. From 73-75 Coach Fertig worked under the tutelage of George Raveling at Washington State. From there Fertig went to Oregon U. and was part of Dick Hartcr's vcrv successful PAC—8 club. Last year he was an assistant coach at Robert Morris College in Pittsburgh and in their first Division I season beat Centenary, Cleveland State, and Eastern Kentucy in road upsets. At WCU Coach Fcrtig's primary responsibility will be recruiting. This is a tough job; one of the toughest in building a successful major college program. According to Coach Fertig the Cats will mainly concentrate on getting players that fit into the system and those that will complement the players already at Cullowhee. Recruiting efforts will center basically in North Carolina, but as Jack says. "Wc will go after anyone who is interested in playing and going to school at Western Carolina." Despite the obvious competition from the likes of NSCU. UNC. and Wake Forest for talent. Fertig is confident of bringing in some talent. Although he hasn't seen the present Cats or any Southern Conference opponent play yet. Coach Fertig is sure he and Head Coach Steve Cottrell will get the most out of the club. "We will try to be as exciting and competitive as we can be. We want a team that everyone will be proud to say represents WCU." said Coach"Fertig. The Cats' new head coach, Steve Cottrell. is a highly regarded young coach with impressive credentials. Assistant Coach Fertig savs of him, "Everything this man touches turns to gold." Cottrell led a high school team. Carlton Oaks of Norfolk. Virginia, to a state championship. He was also an assistant to Sonny Allen at Old Dominion during Ihier NC \ \ Division 2 powerhouse days. Cottrell then went to Washington State, and was on the stall with Coach Fertig. (These two helped the club move from PAC—8 doormat to 18-8. and 19-8 marks.) I ast year Coach Cottrell was again an assistant for Sonnv Allen, this time at Southern Methodist University. The record at SMI! went from 5-21 to 17-1 1 in just one year, and earned the program The Sporting News' most improved team award. Cottrell brings to Cullowhee not only impressive credentials but also a new style of play. This year's edition of the Cats will be running up and down both ends of the court, on offense and defense. When the Cats get the ball they plan to use the Numbered Fast-break system - discribed by some as a disciplined running game. Coach Cottrell refers to it as "the most natural way to play." The system was designed by Sonny Allen and such schools as Maryland. Indiana, and Nevada-las Vegas employ it. On defense Cottrell expects the Cats to employ a great deal of full and half court pressing. Although he hasn't seen his club perform. Coach Cottrell is confident of the implementation because as he says. "The kids already believe the system will work." Despite new faces and innovations the WCU basketball program is best described as in the rebuilding stage. The NCAA probation not only prohibits WCU from postseason play and NCAA sponsored TV coverage. but will probably hamper future recruiting. Cottrell also feels that the loss of former Assistant Rick Miller will hurt. "It's like losing a right arm. really." Coach Cottrell said. The Cats are also basically inexperienced. There is only one returning lctterman from last year - Bubba Wilson. The Cats must also face a tough Southern Conference schedule for the first time and of course, they had only an 8-16 record last year. Coach Cottrell is optimistic despite the problems. He considers them a challenge for not only the basketball staff but for the entire university. He emphasizes this point by saving. "The team belongs to the students and lor us to have anv sucess relies on the support »i are given. The students are. I believe, the key to our Coach Cottrell says he'd love to see Reid Gym packed with 4.000 enthusiastic students who want the Cats to win. He wants to see the students turn Reid into the type of place where basketball is fun for everyone but the opponents. He'd vcrv much like to have pre-game and half-time music and entertainment. In short, his goal is to see Reid Gym be "wild with excitement." and lie the type of place another club hates to play in. Cottrell figures that getting the Cats back on the winning track should be everyone's goal at Cullowhee. He also feels that good student support will help immcasureably in the program's recovery from the probation. He sums it up by saying. "We arc going to work hard to prove ourselves worthy of support - we need to be given a chance, we need the students to be- there pulling for US." The Cats have problems for the season. There are many question marks and 'ifs'. but one thing is for sure - the Cats will beat some people and surprise some folks. The outlook is promising, but the predictions are guarded. This interesting year should tell us just how rcadv WCU is ready for big time sports, not only by win-lose . but by student involvement and support.
