Page 20 /THE WESTERN CAROLINIAN/February 7, 1980 Surles on sports by Steve Surles Western Carolina's current winning streak Is the best since the '75-'76 season when Fred Conley's Cats won 10 of 11 in a mid-season stretch. In the last eight games Western has shot almost 53 percent from the floor and 75 percent from the foul line-that's good enough to win in any league. My choice of Southern Conference Player of the Year—no question about it—it has to be Greg Dennis, currently the league's leading scorer [20.6 a game] and the backbone of the Cats' offense and defense. Don't forget that at 6'2 he's actually playing out of position at the small forward spot...also out of position is Kenny Trimier, who at 6'6 1/2, often matches-up with 6'8 and 6'9 forwards. The Cats, who averaged about 69 points a game last season, are up to 78.2 this season, a difference of better than 9 points a game on the average. The overall team shooting percentage is up from '78-'79's .448 to a current .491 average. That's a tremendous improvement in one season. The last women's basketball home game, February 13th against East Tennessee State, will be a very special day. The Lady Cats will retire Jayne Ahrledege's jersey permanently. Jayne, who graduated after last season, scored 1,928 points in her four year varsity career. That game will also be the last home game for two Lady Cats seniors, Sandra Julian and Sheila Barker, who have given the team some super play during their four years at Western. Who was the quarterback when the San Francisco 49er's upset defending NFL champion Baltimore in Baltimore midway through the 1960 season?...our own coach and athletic director Bob Waters, that's who... Coach Waters came in for an injured YA Title late in the fourth quarter and threw a TD pass to upset John Unltas' Baltimore Colts. It was also Coach Waters' first ever regular season professional game. Here's another one. When you see the Atlanta Hawks' Eddie Johnson, a starter in the recent NBA all-star game, remember that he's in the big-time despite the fact that WCU Sports Information Director Steve White coached Eddie back when the former Auburn University superstar was in the ninth grade in Weirsdale, Fl. Witey, then a high school history teacher, coached Eddie in football and basketball. Managers on Eddie's Lake Weir High teams that year were Eddie's little brother, Wake Forest basketball star Frank Johnson, and current PGA golfing phenomenon. Mike Sullivan. If Greg Dennis continues to lead the SC in scoring with his 20.6 average, he'll be the lowest scoring leader since William and Mary's Tom Jasper in 1971 who had a 18.9 average. NCAA stats show that the Southern Conference ranks first In the nation in free throw percentage with a 72.7 average. Here's that number to call and gripe about Western's TV game with Marshall not being televised on Channel 4 from WFBC in Greenville, SC; ask for someone in programming: 803-242-4404. WCU's Oreg Dennis named S.C. player of the week Western Carolina University's Greg Dennis has been named the Southern Conference Player of the Week the conference office announced Monday. Dennis, a 6'2, 180 pound forward/wing for the Catamounts, played a leading role in Western's three wins of hut week, with two of those victories, a 75-53 romp over Davidson and Saturday's 61-42 win over arch-rival Appalachian State, coming in Southern Conference play. Dennis scored 56 points, shot 71% from the floor. 94% from the foul line while leading the Cats in all-around play. The sophomore native of Fairfax, Va. also added 14 rebounds, 10 assists and 12 steals in the three games. The Player of the Week honors is the second time this season Dennis has won the award and the third of the season for a Western Carolina basketball player. Earlier this season freshman guard Ronnie Carr earned Player of the Week honors. psssssssssssssssssssssssss^^ T-HE tmm Sandwich Emporium Hot Deli Sandwiches Reuben Pastrami Many More Delicious Cheese Cake I Salads Located on the lower level of I The Cheddar Box Riverwood Shops, Dillsboro. m Callaway Open 11 am-8pm Mon. - Sat. 586-8588 1 From Page 19 has played about every position in the Catamount attack, and has a career scoring average of 3.0 a game. But his contribution is much more than the box scores would show. He's been a consistent and dependable "sixth" man for the Cats this season. And no wonder, he has a perfect personality for it. In a time of great individualism he harbors no resentment for not being a starter. "Everyone's goal is to start. I guess no one goes out to be the sixth man, but on this team, I'm happy to make a contribution. You can't say anything when you have people like Carr and Dennis in the starting five. Winning is the thing," he intimates. "I just try to come off the bench and get some spark and momentum for the team. It's tough to come off the bench cold and tight, but I just try to play as hard as I can and get into the flow of the game. Actually, I concentrate more on defense than offense," the Marketing and Management major says. He's doing a bang-up job for the Cats, who now stand 15-7 and second place in the conference. Although a young team, with sophomores and freshmen playing major roles, the Cats have been a precocious force in the league. A good bit of the credit should go to Callaway and the other two senior captains, Harry Dolan and Jimmy McCallister, who provide a unique kind of maturity to the team on and off the court. "We try to set an example for the younger players and treat everyone on the team eauallv I trv to he a kind of middle man between the players and coaches," Callaway adds. "He's an extension of our coaching staff on the floor," Cottrell says, and adds, "Forrest is a fine person and captain, gee - 1 think he'd be a good coach himself if he wanted to pursue that profession—his experience is important to this young team and he's truly an invaluable sixth man." Forrest has not only the game experience for Western but also the experience he's accumulated through being a player during all three years of Coach Cottrell's rebuilding program—a regime that has taken Western from some pretty tough days to solid competiveness. "It's been sort of the full circle," Callaway says. "Coach Cottrell has worked us hard, and we're a team that gets along well. Mostly we want to win and I guess the Coaches' attitude is the main reason. I wanted my senior year to be a successful one -to be my best." io date Forrest ana tne Catamounts nave Had a successful season—and one that is a long way from being over. Fortunately, Western Carolina's Forrest "Havelicek" Callaway is ready for the challenge. Teammate McCallister says it best. "He's the smartest player on the team in a lot of ways. He accepts his role and does a good job. Forrest just knows his role and does the job." From either teammate, coacn, or fan no finer compliment can be paid to a hard-working, intelligent basketball player than that. Lady Cats win for 1st time this season With the.most important gymnastics meet of the season only a week away, Coach Sue Field's team decided the best preparation was the winning kind, as the Lady Cats swept a three-way meet in Cullowhee Saturday morning for the club's first win of the season. Western took first place with 103.65 points with Furman placing second with 98.20. Clemson's 76.90 score was gooa tor third place. The win for Western was particularly important because powerful Duke University visits Cullowhee next Friday (February 8 at 7 p.m.)-for a crucial intrastate meet. But if Saturday's scores are any indication, then the Lady Cats can make a strong show against the Blue Devils. Beth Myers led the Lady Cat effort, finishing as the individual leader with 28.80 total points. Myers finished second in the vaulting exercises, with teammate Jill Kaufman finishing first. Myers also scored second best in the uneven bars, balance beams, and was first in the floor exercises. Furman's Sherri McGill, the second best placer in the meet with 26.45 points, outpointed Marci Eggnat/'s third place 24.10 and Debbie Bryant's and Kaufman's 23.95 tie for fourth. Western improved its overall record to 1-3 with the win. The meet against Duke will be at Reid Gym with the public invited to attend.
