Mike Pusey SEPTEMBER 14, 1978/THE WESTERN CAROLINIAN/PAGE ? Someone noticed he could throw by RAY PORTER Sports Editor "I didn't start playing football until I was moved to Banner l]k six years ago," said the 20 year old junior signal caller for the Catamounts, Mike l\isev. Mv sophomore vear in high school was the first tormal football I ever plaved back on the Maryland COaSt, where I was born, there just wasn't any football." Ik-explained. The next year at his high school, Pusey began his career as a quarterback after I year of playing halfback. "One dav somebody noticed I could throw, so they tried nK-as quarterback," remembered Puaey, His talent earned into the beginning of his collegiate career when Pusey attended Clemson University and plaved the quarterback position then- in 1975. In 1976. Pusev (todded to transfer to WCU. However, due lo an NCAA requirement concerning transfers. Pusey had to sit out one year, but did not lose a year ol eligibility. The 1977 season began and the Cats' start in the year was noi so smooth BS it should have been. In hopes of sparking ilu- oltensc Pusev was given his first chance as quarterback for the Cats in die third game of the season. He went on that year to finish as the top OB in the Southern Conference. Puaey'i i .934 yards passing and 13 TO |>as*'s put him with the leaders in the nation in those departments. Pusey \ duel role as ixinter also gave him an impressive 40.5 yard kicking average. Him tan a |»-rv>n perform in tront of thousands ot people and still be effective? '•You pretty much ignore the crowd. When you're out on the field you're too busy to iKHice the people," said Puvv. "The times when vou really notice the fans though," continued Pusey, "is when vou go to the sidelines and they're clxi-ring or booing." (>n the field, IWv calls lew ot his own plays. Most ol ttie strategy is briHight from tbe sidelines trotn Coaches Bob Waters and Don Dalton. "lnev dedde since from the sideline Coach Dal ton is in the press box and has a bettor sco|>- of tin- field," said l\isev Occasionally, when tin- plays do not go as tin- offense planned, an. a turnover or loss occurs, Pusey does not Women's tennis 'looking good' "I'm looking for a real good fall season," said Patty Wilson, WCU's varsity women's tennis coach. The LadyCats are led by seniors Julie Cushman and Sally Kemp. Cushman will graduate in December and will be ineligible for the spring season. Sophomores Alma Hooks and Karen Martinet, who played in the number two spot last year, and juniors Nancy Buller and Peggy Lambert return this season. Added to this year's squad are freshman Laura Billings, and transfer students, Robin Went and Shelia Turbin. Turbin transferred from Davidson and played on the mens tennis team there. These athletes go through grueling two-hour practices. They start with ten minutes of warm-ups, them practice 20-30 minutes on stroke consistency. Next comes the team movements where each player concentrates on the tough shots, that is, net play, cross-court, and down the line strokes. Ihe girl's then play the "five point game" where a player serves until one wins five points. According to Coach Wilson, "This game takes the pressure off because they aren't having to play sets. We practice serving next, where each player must call where the serve will be, like in billards." Then conies the fun part—conditioning drills. The players go through a program of sprints, sit-ups. rope jumping, and footwork drills on the courts. They run to the track for the mile run and 110 yard sprints for endurance. Commenting on this year's team, Wilson said, "We have a lot of depth and consistency with a lot of tournament play. We're coming off a 9-4 season, and with hard work and determination, we'll make a winning season."

Even vvlien he has a particularly i-rror-ndcicn game (such as tile ECU game when Ik tluevv four interceptions) Pusey behoves he just needs to work harder to be better in tin- next contest. "I vou tin- coachei don'l net lee upset They try to Understand, Init they still insist you give all vou have," saul Pusey, Hie Cati have dropped their first two games, but Pusey still believes WCl' has one of the best teams. "We have a gnat group of guvs and we've already plaved inn- two tougliest games. Now thai we know what m-eils improving. 1 think we'll start winning."
