January 21, 1982/Page 15 Cats Win On Road •"■^^^WBW^H*. Western's big win over Marshall...74-72 Haywood Resigns by Russ Randolph While Western Carolina University fans, faculty and students slumbered in Old Man Winter's snow paradise, somewhat shocking news was made in WCU's baseball program. After several years of success here, baseball coach Bill Haywood resigned from his headcoaching position to accept an offer in professional baseball. Coach Haywood's decision ended a great era of baseball here at Western. Over the past thirteen years Haywood compiled an impressive record of 215-161-1 and last year shared the Southern Conference title with Marshall and East Tennessee State. In Western's five seasons as a member of the Southern Conference, Haywood's teams produced a fine record of 48-25. However, the Western baseball program is not fated to a bleak future as former graduate assistant David Wright was named as the new head baseball coach last week. Coach Wright has compiled a rather impressive career for a man of twenty-five. After attending Reynolds High School in Asheville, Wright attended Montreat- Anderson College and Austin Play State University in Tennessee. While a senior there, he was named to the All Ohio Valley Conference list and later went on to play professional basebal) for two years. When asked about the possible negative reactions in the sudden change in headcoaches, Coach Wright replied that the team understood and that the players knew what to do to win. When speaking of his team Wright expressed only enthusiasm and optimism. With a team possessing an "excellent balance of speed and power," "nineteen returning lettermen," and a "good group of seniors," the up-coming season appears bright. With strong defense likely in the outfield, infield, and behind the plate, opponents should have a tough job confronting the 1982 Baseball Cats. However, a great deal rests with the pitching position with several players recovering from injuries. And, if the pitching is strengthened, Wright believes that the team should "win a lot because we have the scoring potential." Last year's team possessed a record of fifty homeruns and four men who stole twenty or more bases; indeed, an impressive set of stats. The team began practice on Tuesday, January 19 at 7:00 a.m., and when asked whether or not the weather would be a negative factor in training Wright said, "No. The first two weeks for the team will be spent inside Reid Gym conditioning, and three more weeks of practice will follow. The team is preparing for a tough 1982 schedule with such powers as Georgia, Clemson, and of course, all the usual Southern Conference powers. What will happen in the future is yet to be seen; however, the future has definitely been brightened for Coach Wright, who believes he is a "product of his experiences," playing "ball as he sees it." The Western Carolinian salutes the 1982 Baseball team, Coach Wright, and former Coach Bill Haywood, and wishes them continued success in the future. by Russ Randolph When Catamount Coach Steve Cottrell walked off the basketball court of Marshall University's newly opened Henderson Center arena Monday night in Huntington, West Virginia, chances are that he was holding his heart and gasping for breath. Had it not been for 6'3" junior Ronnie Carr, who sank an unbelievable 20- foot jumper with only two seconds left in the game, Cottrell and team would have had an extra long bus ride back to Cullowhee. However, thanks to Carr's out-of-no- where shot, Western was able to conclude a 2-game away schedule with their feet back in the door of the Southern Conference where they will host VMI tonight in Reid gym at 7:30 p.m. The victory over Marshall was the second in four conference outings for the Cats, and boosted their overall record to 8-4. For those fortunate enough to view the Marshall game, or to even listen to it over the radio, "exciting" would come as an understatement while trying to describe the rugged Southern Conference encounter. Marshall's Thundering Herd, whofell to 11-5 overall, trailed Western 69-64 with 2:11 to go in the game after Greg Dennis, who scored a game-high 25 points, sank two much-needed foul shots for the Cats. Yet, following several costly Catamount turnovers and missed foul shots, Marshall was able to come back and tie the game at 72-all when senior center Larry Watson scored on a 10-foot jumper with only 15 seconds left on the clock. Western, upon getting the ball out of bounds, then called a time out with nine seconds left to go. Whatever discussed by Cottrell and his team at this point must have been somewhat of a miracle plan, for after the time out, the Catamounts worked the ball to Carr on the left side of the court and his fallaway shot swished the net and clinched the game for Western. Marshall's two-second chance to score was alleviated when the Herd threw the ball out of bounds upon an in-bounds pass following Carr's shot, and the Cats then ran out the clock to "thunder" into the dressing rooms a victorious team. Carr, who was this year's first Western player to be named the Southern Conference's player of the week Monday, came close to his 22-point a game average in this game with 18 points, while 6'6" junior Kenny Trimier added 16, led the Cat rebounders with 7, and had three key assists along with two steals. 6'1" Greg Dennis was perhaps the scappiest Cat of the night, giving the Herd a very hard time on defense all night, and hitting eight of his twelve second-half points on. foul shots alone, making him one of the key elements in the Catamount win. This "sneaking by" a tough team like Marshall should be another feather in the hat for Western, and will put them right back in the heat of things in the Southern Conference. Best of all, the Cats now proceed into a three- game conference home schedule in Reid Gym, where the team's 19-game winning streak still holds strong to haunt the many teams who have seen themselves go down in defeat here. David Wade paced the Marshall scorers with !6 points before fouling out, and the Herd saw their record drop to 4-3 in Southern Conference play. Marshall was hindered with "foul shot phobia" in the second half, which had they hit, might have proved bad news for Western. Western sank nine of 14 foul shots in the second half compared tojustfiveof 12 by Marshall. The Herd was just 14 of 28 on foul shots for the game, while WCU hit 18 of 25 total. From the floor, the Cats hit 46 percent to Marshall's 54 percent. "This has to be one of our greatest wins ever since we joined the Southern Conference five years ago," said Catamount Coach Steve Cottrell. "Wedesperately needed this one, and this will put us in pretty good shape in the conference as we go into our three-game home schedule this week at home." Individually, Cottrell praised Dennis, Carr, Trimier, reserve center Mike MacFarlane, and freshman Lytle for their outstanding effort at Marshall and added that "It will be good to be home tonight,"as his team hosts VMI at 7:30 p.m. VMI comes into the game victory hungry, with a 0-12 overall record. The Cadets were defeated by the Citadel Monday night, 72-6!. Saturday night, the Furman Paladins invade Catamount country with gametime at 7:30. It looks to be an exciting week of basketball here in Cullowhee, so come on out and support the ever- promising Cats. Another bright spot came for Western with freshman point guard Quinton Lytle. Filling in as the Cats' top backcourt reserve for injured Quentin Moore, Lytle hit both of his two attempted shots from the floor, and managed to come up with three impressive steals in the last eight minutes of the game, aiding Western to their first-time-ever win in Huntington.
