KAUfc 8/ 1Mb WbSlbHN CAHOLINIAN/r-fcbHUAHY 16, 1W/W sports Cats seek revenge on Bulldogs Saturday's important Southern Conference basketball game with the surprising Bulldogs of The Citadel w ill be one of the biggest games ever in Reid Gym history. It will feature the two surprise teams in the Southern Conference this year with the Bulldogs sporting the most wins since 1961 and WCU owning a solid 13-11 mark in the second year of Southern Conference play. The game is also important as it is the last regular season home game of the 78-79 Catamount season. But the real magnitude of the game comes down to the simple fact that some very crucial pre-tournament positions may be decided by the outcome. The Citadel needs a win to stay in the race for regular season champs in the conference. They were picked to finish eighth in many preseason polls by the so-called "experts." A win in Cullowhee Saturday night would help the Bulldogs immensely going into the final stages of their of their great season. For the Cats the game means just as much. A victory would go a long way to a coveted fourth-place finish in the Conference and with that, Reid Gym would be the site of one of the first round tournament games February 24. It is astounding to think that the Cats would have a chance for that, as they were preseason picked to finish one notch above the Citadel. A win Saturday would underscore an already great season for the Cats, 7-19 last year in their first year of Southern Conference competition. Monday night's victories by Davidson, 70-64 over UTC and the Citadel, 72-69 over VMI, eliminated two of the threats to the Cats fourth place position. Now only Marshall remains with a chance to take the home-court advantage away from the Cats. Marshall has three confeVence games remaining. They play at VMI Wednesday night, at Furman Saturday, and at The Citadel Monday. Three possible things can happen: one, if Marshall wins two of their remaining games, losing only once, then the Cats must win Saturday night. The second possibility is if Marshall loses twice, then WCU can lose against the Citadel and still have fourth place. The last possibility is if the Cats beat The Citadel then Marshall would have to win all three of their remaining games. Three Marshall victories would ensure them of the fourth place finish. In any event the WCU/Citadel game rates as a classic for the students and community of Jackson County to see. It should be the very best kind of college basketball—two tough teams playing with the stakes. NEED A TOW? Have you ever been crusing along, feeling good, and all of a sudden you started feeling like Mario Andretti with Niki Lauda coming up fast on the inside? Or was it one of those famous German air aces with a squadron of Spitfires on your tail? Well, either way, you zigged when you should have zagged, and ended up in a ditch. Time to start thinking about a wrecker, right? Call Harold Keener of Cullowhee Wrecker Service, and he'll fix you up right away. It won't cost you an arm and a leg, either. CULLOWHEE WRECKER SERVICE 293-9383 Person ignites W.C. •From Page 6 ghettos and neighborhoods, basketball was the sport, and the dream of one day playing in the pros furnished the push to excel. Kay was no different. Hard work, every day, rain or shine, sleet or snow, on the courts in his neighborhood helped to refine his talents. "Every city guy dreams of being a pro," Ray says, "some kids want to be president, but we wanted to be NBA stars." In that environment the competitor Ray Person grew. After two fine seasons a Western Texas, and his brilliant "mini-season" last year, he seemed right on schedule for greatness, making his problems even more painful. Yet he has come back strongly, leading the Cats to a surprising 13-11 season to date. Right now the Cats have a shot at fourth-place in the conference and a homecourt tournament first round game. The Person- led Catamounts have pulled upsets on Furman, UTC, ASU, and ETSU, and other enroute to an inspiring season. Averaging 16.7 points a game, 7.3 rebounds, and almost 34 minutes a contest, he's been the leader for the Cats. His twisting, turning drives to the basket, his persistent rebounding work, and his defense have been a key to the team's success. "This season has meant a whole lot to me," he says, "and before it started I was hesitating mentally, wondering if I could do it. I wasn't sure I could still produce. After the first basket, (in the first game against Baptist) I knew I was OK. "I wasn't happy with my play the first half of the season, but 1 was still feeling it out. Right now I believe I'm really at my peak." He's had some brilliant games this season for the Cats—being the one really consistent offensive threat. He starred in the Florida Invitational getting 39 points and 35 rebounds in two games. He had fine games in all the upsets, and has had season high of 29 points against Davidson College. Ray says he wasn't expecting a fantastic year, but he was trying to have a solid season with a winning record. He feels the team as a whole has been responsible for : good season. As the crucial games come up for the Cats and Ray Person, the chance for a great ending of the season looms for both. The young team has played hard in every game, earning a good measure of respect for the program. Ironically, both Ray Person and the Cats were on hard times just a little while ago, and both have bounced back well enough to make a whole team of Rose Persons proud. "So far I'm happy with it, I'm close to graduating and we're close to the playoffs. I'm glad to be a part of it. This is a nice program. The coaches have done a great job, the best any could do and we can't ask for anything more as players," Ray says. To a determined young man from faraway Brooklyn, we can say the very same thing. 293-5084 SKI SPREE at Cataloochee Take the coupon with you to Cataloochee Ski Area and ski all day, any day Monday— Thursday, for only $ 10.00!
