  • Sports 7 January 28,1982/ Western Carolinian ETSU Ends Cat Home Court Streak; But Cats Remain Strong on Road by Russ Randolph Monday night's game in Reid Gym was everything a basketball game could be; one filled with cheers. fouls, technicals, three-point plavs. dunks, and more. As the clock ticked down late in the game, it appeared the tied score that sent the encounter into overtime once, would be the same case again, as the score was tied with 29 seconds left at 92-all. Yet, double overtime would not save Western, as the East Tennessee Buccaneers made sure the game would not get that far, and the boys from Tennessee became the first team to defeat Western Carolina at home in 22 outings, the longest running streak at WCU since the early sixties. Ironically, the Catamount's winning streak in Reid started with the aid of the first 3-point field goal in college basketball history, and it was 3-point baskets that helped bring that streak to an end. The loss to East Tennessee not only snapped Western's home court streak, but also a five-game overall string of wins, and a conference win streak of four. Western began their attempt to rebound from Monday's loss in a tough place—Boone. The mere mention of the word signifies a battle between WCU and ASU, and a full report on that game played last night will be included in next week's issue. From Boone, the Cats will have two other away games with the Citadel on Friday in Charleston, SC, and Campbel in Raleigh on Monday night. Another three-game homestand opens next Thursday (Feb. 4) when conference-leading UT-Chattanooga visits Cullowhee to makeup the January 13 postponed game. Appalachian will invade Redi Gym next Saturday, February 6, while Davidson is scheduled in Reid the following Monday, February 8. Going into Monday night's game, the Cats were defending a renowned record that began on November 29, !980, when Ronnie Carr hit that first 3-pointer against Middle Tennessee State. Carr hit a pair of 3-pointers in the second half Monday night, but East Tennessee also swished three from outside the 22-foot circle, and perhaps that was Greg Dennis was the leading scorer Wednesday night as he led the Catamounts to big road win over archrival Appalachian State, 56-55. photo by Mark Haskett what proved to be the difference in the game. Western led by as much as 13 points in the first half of the game Monday, but the Cats found themselves behind midway into the second half. With the roaring support from a crowd of 2,488, the Cats managed to regain the lead,and were up by five, 80-75, with 18 seconds left to play. Yet, Buccaneer Marc Quesenberryb saw to it that the game not be put away so easily, hitting two free throws and a 3-pointer at the buzzer to send the game into an additional five minutes of overtime. Again with the support of the crowd behind them, the Cats seemed to have everything under control in the overtime period, holding an 8 point lead with 1:3! left to play, but like before, the Buccaneers were not to bite the dust so easily. A pair of 3- pointers and 6 straight points by Marcus Reese proved to Western that basketball games can change directions fast. With Reese's two free throws from a foul by Greg Dennis that could have gone either way, the game came to a tear-jerking end, and so did the ever-popular winning streak the Southern Conference had come to respect at Reid Gym. On the end of the home court streak. Catamount Coach Steve Cottrell said his team plans to "start another winning streak next week," when the Cats return to Reid next Thursday. Despite the loss, there were still many bright spots to overshadow the dark ones for Western. Ronnie CArr redeemed a bad night against Furman to hit 30 points in the high- scoring game Monday night, and added 7 rebounds and 5 assists to give him a well-rounded night. Greg Dennis, this week's Carolinian Player of the Week, and the Southern Conference's Player of the Week, followed Carr with 25 points, 8 rebounds, 6 assists, and 4 steals. Sophomore Pat Sharp also came off the bench to hit six of eight attempted shots, while 6'5" junior Kenny Trimier added !0 rebounds defensively for the Cats. "They were just awesome," said Coach Cottrell. "We tried every defense we knew, but we gave them too many second shots. They have some great athletes that are hard to defense and are hard to matchup against," he added. Guest Editorial by Monica Henson With all the commotion over the recent decision to divide the seats at basketball games among the students with last names beginning with either A—I or J—Z, I became concerned that one important point might be overlooked if the students' anger at the university rose high enough; that is, that the players themselves might be caught in the middle. The students certainly have a legitimate complaint, and the administration is evidently attempting to be as fair as possible until new facilities can be made available to the students and the general public. I found iut amazing that at Monday night's game with East Tennessee State, virtually every student seat was filled, and the students were as vocal and as supportive as ever. It appears that the majority of the students here at Western Carolina University who enjoy attending basketball games and supporting the Cats have Chosen to make the best of a not-so-good situation. This choice is a reflection of the maturity and consideration of these students. Several suggestions as to how to make the predicament even more heated began circulating almost as soon as the news of the new seating situation spread; however, the student body has continued to support the basketball team regardless of the displeasure and resentment over the new seating arrangement. 1 feel that the students who have contributed to the continuing support of Catamount basketball deserve a pat on the back for their mature and thoughtful decision. The situation could easily have gone from bad to worse, had the students decided to demonstrate their disgust by non-attendance of the basketball games, depriving the players of the home-court support upon which they depend. A good number of Western Carolina students made the trip to Boone and cheered on the victorious Cats. by Mark Haskett
