Transcript

Sports Sovember 19. 1981 15 Season Opening Western Carolina University opens its 26 game schedule for the 1981-82 basketball season on Friday, November 27. against Methodist College. The game is the first in a four-game home stand, which also features Averett College on Saturday, November 28, iUNC- Greensboro on Monday, November 30. and wraps up ae^inst Maryland-Eastern Shore Decemher 5. With the starting lineup from last year's 18-10 team returning intact and being strengthened by four experienced reserves and five solid recruits, the Cats appear to be the odds-on favorite to take the Southern Conference crown this year. This is also the opinion of the Southern Conference coaches, sportwriters and sportscasters, who made a concensus choice to give the Cats the top spot in preseason polls. WCU was also the only team to land more than one player on the pre-season all-conference team, with Greg Dennis and Ronnie Carr receiving first team honors. Joining Carr and Dennis on the pre-season team are guard Mel Daniel of Furman, center Charles Payton of Appalachian State and guard Troy Lee Mikell of ETSU. Carr, Daniel and Payton were first team selection last year while Dennis was a second team pick last year after being named to the first team in his sophomore season when he led the conference in scoring. Payton was the league's Player of the Year last season, but this winter, Daniel is expected to cop the award. Carr, who scored the first three-point goal in college basketball history last season, has averaged 17.5 points per game over the past two seasons. Dennis has the tenth best career scoring average (16.3) among the nation's seniors and is third best career free throw shooter (85%). Rivalry Heating Up by Doug Irwin The annual rivalry between Appalachain State and Western Carolina returns to Cullowhee this Saturday after a two year absence. The Catamounts, coming off of three straight impressive games will be attempting to better last years' record of 3-7-1 and end a disappointing season on a high note while ASU will be finishing off their disappointing year in which they have failed to win their last seven outings. Besides being the biggest rivalry east of Tennessee and Alabama (on a smaller scale, of course) the 46th Western Carolina-Appalachian State football game will pit two teams apparently going in opposite directions. (The UT-Bama game could qualify for that distinction also since the Vols keep getting worse and Alabama keeps looking better each year, especially against UT.) While the Cats were stumbling through their first five games, ASU was winning their first three. At around the time WCU began to get their act together, the Mountaineers were beginning a seven-game losing streak. One of those losses came to Marshall, which was extra humiliating because that was the first conference win Marshall has had in five years in the conference. Even though the Mountaineers have had numerous problems this year, their passing offense was ranked tenth nationally last week. Sophomore Randy Joyce is leading the conference in passing with 1660 yards and nine touchdowns. ASU can also run the football with a herd of running backs including Alvin Parker (568 yards). Tim Martin who had 137 yards in a losing cause against East Tennessee, Derek Jenkins and freshman Johnny Sowell. Overall. ASU's offense is ranked seventh nationally, averaging 418 yards per game. The App defense is led by linebackers Ricardo Smith and Van Smith and defensive end Rusty Hicks. With the emergence of quarterback Ronnie Mixonas a quality signal caller and after Anthony James' outstanding game against Marshall, the Cats should have confidence in their offense more than ever this year. Anytime a team scores 38 points in a single game, they will be successful most of the time. ASU has been known to give up quite a few points, but their offense can put some points up also. It may not be climbing too far out on a limb to say the game could turn into a high scoring affair. Coach Bob Waters comments "I'm sure I am understating when I say Western Carolina and Appalachian State football games are special. A lot of people use this game as a measuring stick as to whether or not they have had a successful season." Waters also mentioned that a win over ASU "would carry over momentum through the winter and spring to next season." A win over Western's big rival could be a sign of better things to come next season. fK Photo by Rick McDaniel Women Advance To Regionals It looks as if the 1981 WCU women's volleyball team will again get the chance to prove their ability this week, as they hit the road to participate in yet another multi team competition. This time, more than just a trophy will be at stake, as the Lady Cats travel to Francis Marion College in Florence, S.C., to participate in the AIAW Division II Southern Regionals. The Lady Cats will enter the tournament as the number two seeded team in a field of eight teams. Joining WCU in the competition will be number one seeded UNC-Charlotte; Winthrop College of Rock Hill, S.C.; University of Tennessee at Martin; Baptist College of Charleston, S.C.; James Madison University of Harrisonburg, V.A.; Bellarmine College of Louisville, K.Y.; and host Francis Marion. The volleyball ladies failed in the attempt of defending their NCAIAW state championship last week played in Hickory, but with their outstanding overall record of 37-6 to date, they were granted an at-large bid birth to this week's regional play-offs, which get underway this afternoon. WCU will be a member of a four-group pool play Thursday and Friday, playing against Winthrop. UT- Martin. and Charleston's Baptist College. Out of this, the top two teams of each of the two pools will advance to a final double elimination tournament on Saturday. The top award of course, will be a trip to the national championships in Colorado for the winning regional team. Should the Lady Cats win the regionals. it would mean sending a women's volleyball team to the nationals for the first time in WCU's history, and that reality is within reach of this year's team. "We're real excited about our advancement into the Regionals," said Betty Peele, now in her 17th year as head coach of the WCU women's volleyball team. "We stand the best chance we've ever had of winning the regionals this year, and since we've already beaten six of the eight teams involved during regular season and tournament play, you can be sure all the teams will be wary of playing us. This should benefit us tremendously, and all the girls are going into the tournament with a very confident and will- to-win kind of attitude. This aspect is perhaps the main reason why we've had the outstanding season we've had this year." While participating in the state AIAW Division II tournament last week in Hickory, the Lady Cats eased through their first two games of the competition with wins over North Carolina A&T and Gardner-Webb College. That set up the rubber match with UNC— Charlotte, a team the Cats had split a pair of regular- season matches with. However, it was the 49'ers who proved dominant in the finals, defeating the Lady Cats in a tough series of three-game matches. ECU came back to capture second place in the state with a pair of wins over Wake Forest, 15-8. 15-12. and thus will advance to the regionals today. In recognition to their outstanding play in the state tournament, sophomores Judy Green from Waynesville and Saundra Fleming from Charleston, S.C., were chosen to represent Western on the State All- Tournament Team. Coach Peele also sited Ana White for her outstanding contribution during state play. Green and Fleming were also honored last week with yet another award-they were named to the ALL-State team for North Carolina, while Ginger Eichhorn received a id honorable mention. by Russ Randolph
