Page 24 THE WESTERN CAROLINIAN September 13. 1979 Women's volleyball set for great year B) all indications the 1979 Women's volleyball team at Western Carolina looks lo be one of the most exciting in several sens. The Lady Cat* have good returning talent, a good crop of new talent, and an enthusiastic first-year coach, Judy Murnj Coach Murray, who became head mentor of the volleyball team after Betty Peele successfully led Ihem in '78. has a fine mixture of experience and underclassmen on the squad. I"here arc six seniors, one junior, four sophomores and four freshmen on the 15-player team along with good overall team jumping ability and plenty of si/e. Only three girls are under 5'7 and four are taller than 5'9. The seniors that will lead Coach Murray's team are 5'9 Jamaican Geneva Anderson, 5*9 Charlotte native Kit Rea. 5'6 Dian Hallas of Arden, 5'7 Terry Frye of Charlotte. 5'8 Andrea Thurm of Cocoa Beach. Fla., and Teresa Whitaker, 5'6from Asheville. Junior Kerry Cooke. 5'6 from Greensboro, will return some valuable experience as will 5'7 sophomore Norma Gibson of Pleasant Garden, and 5'10 Mitchell Hemphill, also a sophomore from Brevard. Two other second year players, Suzanne Childress of Cullowhee. and Meredith Ledford, come to the team as transfers, Childress transferred from Guilford College; Ledford from Gardner-Webb. The freshmen represent one of the belter recruiting crops in several years, with 5'10 Sheree Kasch and 5'9 Pre Prince, Inman, S.C. native Terri Taylor, and t>'4 Ginger i'ichhorn a Massapcgua. NY. native giving the Lad) Cats unusually good sixe and talent from the newcomers, Coach Murray indicates that she is looking for a good season in her initial campaign with the volleyball team. "In Addition to talent, this group ol young ladies has the most spirit and enthusiasm that I have ever worked with. Thev a ant to work hard." Coach Murray will use a multiple attack to keep the opposition under pressure and will emphasize defense and heads up backcourt play. The team has good offensive potential with several good hitters, particularly Rea. Frye and Anderson to lake sets from the resl of the team, I'ichhorn figures to develop into a fine player around the net with backcourt defense being led in < ookc, Hallas and Gibson. Coach Muit.iv feels thai Ihe key to the team's overall success is their ability to play a balanced and consistent game, strong in all phases of the game. "Vou may think hitting is exciting to see. but it takes an excellent bump and set to make il happen." she •savs. adding, "we'll block at the net well too. Anyone' who comes to see us play in Breese Gvm will see Marshall gets ready for WCU From Page 22 sharp." "Plus, two-a-day just wear vou down. It's all football—from 6a.m. until 10:30 p.m." Lee added. "This is pretty much what I expected," linebacker Greg Wiley of St. Louis, Mo., said. "College football is physical and they (the coaches) work on your mind Thev strive for football perfection which is the only way you are^ going to get better." Most players expected heavier hitting and haven't been surprised to date. "It stands to reason, the players are bigger and faster and they are all good athletes from various areas," Sharretts. "I'm not that strong now, but 1 might be one of the fortunate ones because my high school had a pretty good weight program which I took part in since the ninth grade. I can really see the strength factor in college football." Lear, a walkon from Lexington's Lafayette High School, sees college football so far as "something from another world. It's a whole different approach than I've ever seen, but 1 was fortunate because the University of Kentucky players kind of prepared me. I lifted with them over the summer and they told me to be mentally prepared." Lear added. "To me, it's great because the coaches are teaching me to use my abilities. 1 feci myself getting something out of it every day and for someone who wasn't looked al that much in high school, it's a big opportunity." Lear joins most of the freshmen in agreeing that thoughts of 'going home' crosses their minds often. "I thought about it a lot the first day," Lear said. "Bui then I thought about my opportunities if I went home as compared to here where 1 could plav football and get a degree. I really don't have anything to fall back on except my mother who is my pride and joy and I know she wouldn't want me to give it up." Steve Hart from Elkins summed it up briefly: "I I bought about going home a lot because I missed my family. I was getting beat up and I didn't think the coaches liked me. Then I realized that they were just trying to make us all better football players. Two-a-day are really hard. You only practice four hours but with meetings and other things it becomes a 10 or 12-hour practice." Every freshmen has advice for potential recruits next year. "They had better be in shape and be ready menially." Lee said. "If you spend your summer running and think you're in pretty good shape, then run some more because it will help you. And, lift whenever you can because strength makes all the difference." "Coach Randle is one of the best coaches in the nation but you have to be ready both physically and mentally." linebacker David Hawkins said. Hawkins, a 6-2. 200-pounder who played for Randle at Massanut- tcn Military Academy, continued: "I worried about my si/e but that's not important. It's not the size that counts but it's guts and your desire to plav." Eric King, a tailback from Man. W. Va.. warned: "You'd better come here in shape and be prepared to give it everything you can possibly find on a daily basis. College football is a lot harder than high school-physically and mentally. There are also a lot of rules to go by and the coaches are tougher. Each coach tries to get the most out of you." Marshall's freshmen, including 17 walk-on athletes, are the building blocks of Ranrlle's rusrufor "respect and credibility " On offense and defense, the freshmen already figure in backup roles with recruits such as Lee. fullback Chuck Inquartano, linebacker Bruce Woodworth and King tabbed for possible starting roles. exciting matches." . Sept. 13 ihe Lady Cats will open their 79 season with ;i Purple and gold intrasquad exhibition at 8 in Breese. Sept. 19 thev open their regular season with matches against UNC-Asheville. and UNC-Charlotte in Breese against UNC-As al 6:00 Soccer loss WCU's soccer team saw their record drop to 1 — 1 with a 6—0 loss to Central Wesleyan College Monday afternoon in Central.
