4 Western Carolinian/October 6, 1983 Sports Tennessee Tech Preview Cats Leave Conference Race To Face Old Nemesis Tennessee vv C l Office of v m^^^- >: ^^^^^^^^-^^^^^^^^^m^^^ _ Office of Sports Information Western Carolina, suddenly in the thick of the Southern Conference lootball championship race, takes a weekend oil from conference business to take on an old nemesis this Saturday. The Catamounts, fresh off their second league win in as many weeks and now 2-2 overall, will attempt to develop momentum for an upcoming conference showdown when they travel to Cookevillc, Tennessee- Saturday to face lennessee lech, a team that has had the Cat's number in recent seasons. Western struggled early in last Saturday's game at Marshall University ami fell behind 7-0 before Jeff Gilbert. Leonard Williams and an aggressive defensive —.————- unit led a comeback that netted a 21-7 Southern Conference v ictory. Gilbert turned in his finest performance to date as a Catamount quarterback when he completed 16 of 23 passes for 160 yards and two touchdowns. Williams rushed for 119 yards, caught live passes tor 62 yards and scored twice. The defensive unit, led by tackle Mark Buffamoyer and backs Richard Dukes and Tiger Greene held Marshall to less than 200 yards of offense and did not allow the Thundering Herd past the WCU 47 after the first quarter. "It wasn't a pretty win. but we'll sure take it." said Bob Waters. WCU's head coach of 15 seasons. "I was pleased with our defensive play and pleased, but not satisfied, with our offensive- play...we are still making far Tech too many mistakes and getting too many penalties." The win pushed Western into a second place tie in the conference standings with Furman, each with a 2-0 record. Appalachian State is on top ofthe standings with a 3-0 mark. I he Catamounts will host Furman a week from this Saturday in the league's biggest game ol the season to date. lennessee lech has also struggled in the early going this season. Ihe Golden Eagles have lost to last Tennessee State (14-7). Youngstown State (34-22) and Murray State (20-6) under new coach Gary Darnell. I he inter-conference game will have to be approved by the Federal Aviation Agency as both teams have been averaging over 30 passes per game. Western has had more than its share of problems with lech in the series that began in 1971 in which the Eagles hold a 5-3-1 edge. Tech has won four ofthe last five games played in the series and Western has not won in Cookevillc- since 1974. In last year's meeting in Cullowhee. Tech capitalized on a WCU fumble and interception for 10 fourth quarter points enroute to a 17-10 victory. "Tennessee Tech has had our number and we should be motivated, even though this in not a conference game, by the way they have beaten us lately," said Waters. "Potentially, they have an explosive offense, but they are going through a transition period with a new coach and a new system" he noted. They had an open date to get ready for us, so we are looking for a different type team that they were the first three games." "We're improving, but still have a long way to go to be considered a contender in the Southern Conference. We've got to get some people back on the field soon if we are going to make a run at the championship," he added. Football Managers Do More Than Just Carry Equipment Behind the scenes and often without recognition or glory many people work together to make the Catamount football team. Among these are the lootball managers. The managers play their part by making sure all the junior varsity and varsity players have the equipment they need - at home and away - and that the equipment works. That usually involves very long hours. They get to the stadium before the players, and leave a long time alter the players. They are responsible for seeing that the uniforms are clean, the helmets are waxed, and everything is in its place. During practice each of the managers is assigned to a coach to assist him any way possible. Danny "Shock" Williamson, head manager, sees this as valuable experience. Danny is a PE major who intends to go into coaching after graduation. He feels that the experience he gets by watching the coaches and kn owing how the organization operates will help him in this endeavor. According to assistant head coach Don Powers and manager Lynn Henson. "Shock", as he's called by friends and players is the "backbone" of t he- managers. He's almost always the first one there and the last to leave, making sure that things run smooth and on time. You might think that t h e m a n a g e i s would sometimes have a hard time- dealing with players, but the players respect them for the important role they play, and try to work with them as much as possible. "We feel like part of the team." explained Danny. "We live- in the same dorm with the players, and manyu of them are our friends." Danny, who is a native of Sylva played lootball and participated in track during high school. Robby Robbins. a senior from Forest City is respected by the other managers as "the strongest manager in the Southern Conference." Robby played 2 years at Lee's-Me Rae College before coming to Western, but layed out of college to help coach at his old high school. Chase HS. When he came to Western he found that he only had one year of eligibility left. Rather than play out his last year he opted to work behind the scenes as a manager, and learn the game from a different perspective. Robby, who hopes to coach professionally after graduating explained to me that he would rather be part of the program on the sidelines than just a spectator. As do the other managers, he feels that he can gain valuable experience- through his job which is not available in the classroom. Lynn Henson. a criminal justice major and the prettiest manager on the team is not new to the job as might be assumed. She's been a manager her at Western since the 1981 season, and was also a manager for 4 years at Hayesville High. She came to Western under recommendation of her high school football coach who played for us during his college years. Incidentally, Lynn is sister of Carolinian editor Monica Henson. Although she's not in the dressing room handing out gear. Lynn pulls herown weight. Besides helping to prepare for games and practices, Lynn keeps track of time for practice sessions. 1 asked some of the players how they felt about Lynn being a manager. They told me it was fine with them and that she does her job veil without causing any special problems for the team. Andy Martin, a 4 year manager at Asheville High, came to Cullowhee as a freshman this year to major in Sports Management. Andy enjoys his position as a manager partly because of the broad spectrum of people he gets to meet. Jeff Mathis, a Health and PE major from Bryson City, and a junior here at Western joined the managing staff this year. Jeff played wide receiver and quarterback for Swain High School, and intends to go into coaching. Managers: Jeff Mathis, Andy Martin, Robby Robbins, Danny Williamson, Coach Don Powers, Fynn Henson, and Joe Miller.

Lady Cat Volley bailers Win Tourney Consolation Bracket First Victory WCU's soccer team got its first win ofthe season Wednesday night by defeating Warren Wilson 6- 2. Congratulations! Canoe Team Takes Second WCU Office of Sports Information Western Carolina's very own canoe recing team placed second overall in the I Ith annual Southeastern Intercollegiate Canoe Championships. Held this past Saturday October I, on the Catawba River near Morganton, N.C. the race was a big success even for those who did not walk away with a medal. Western traveled to the event with a strong coed team of fifty-two students and one faculty member. There were both downriver and slalom events of which any competitor could race two of each. The downriver race was approximately 2 and one- half miles along through class I II Whitewater. Each canoe was spaced out by thirty second intervals which gave everyone a fair chance. The winning time in most of the downriver events was just under twenty-one munutes while some more relaxed competitors took up to thirty minutes. In contrast there was a slalom race which took place during the morning. In this event the competitors had to maneuver their canoes through poles hung above the river. Penalty points were assigned for touching a pole or missing one altogether. A huge crowd of friends and participants lined a bridge in the middle of the slalom cours to cheer on their teammates. For some novice- racers the swift current proved just a littjc too much as they swam through the las gates behind their canoes. Regardless of how students did in this race everyone seemed to enjoy themselves. Sponsored financially by Last Minute Productions, most WCU racers rode up in vans last Friday and camped out the night before along with other racers from the other colleges. Other organizations which donated canoes to the team were the Outing Club and Nantahala Outdoor Center. Team captain Mark Melrose stated, "I want to thank everyone, especially the racers, who helped out putting this whole thing together. Even though we didn't win, you couldn't tell that from all the team spirit we had." Several Western Carolina Students placed in various events, and they were the key to the second place- finish. These students were: George and Dawn Plater. Mary Ann Beardsley. David Dauphine. Becky Gray, Alan Mandrell. Mark Melrose, and Pete Newsome. Stiff competition primarily from The University ofthe South, the first place team, kept more WCU students out ofthe Ciold. Already there is talk of revenge for next year as most competitors plan to return WCU's women's volleyball team won four of five matches and finished as the consolation bracket winner in the University of South Carolina Classic Tournament held Friday and Saturday. The Lady Cats, now 13-5 overall, defeated Clemson (13-15. 15-8. 15-3. 12-15 and 15-11); Mississippi (15-8, 12-15, 15-12, 10-15. 15-11). but lost to South Florida (5- 15. 15-4. 11-15. 12-15) in pool play. The Lady Cats went to the consolation round because Ole Miss and South Florida had won more games in the three matches. Western blasted UNC Charlotte (15- 0, I 1-15.15-5. 15-7) and Mississippi State (15-12. 15-13. 15-10) to capture the consolation final. Head coach Trish Howell was pleased with the overall effort of the team. Last season, at the same tournament, the Lady Cats lost all five matches. "It's very encouraging to win four of *ive here. 1 think that we could play with everyone here, even the teams we did not play and it is good that we played well after last year's disappointment," Howell noted. In two previous tournaments, the Lady Cats had earned second place trophies. The South Carolina tournaments, the Lady Cats had earned second place trophies. The South Carolina tournament to be be held Nov. 18-19 at Johnson City, Tn. The Lady Cats will get some tests for that tournament this week. Tuesday night Western took on rival Appalachian State in Cullowhee for what could have been a prelude to the conference championship (ASU is the defending champ). The Lady Cats will take on UNC Charlotte Thursday night in a 7 pm match tentatively scheduled for Reid Gym. If the match is not played at Reid, the Lady Cats will host UNC C at Breese Gvrn. Western Carolina University's women's volleyball team proved they are a force to be reckoned with in the Southern Conference this season by defeating Appalachian State in three of four games Tuesday night in Breese Gym. The Lady Cats, 14-5 overall and 2-0 in league play, defeated ASU three straight games alter dropping the first game to the Lady Mountaineers, 17-15. WCU won games two through four by scores of 15-12, 15-11 and 15-1, respectively. WCU nearly pulled out an exciting first game after falling behind 11-5. They eventually led 15-14 in the hard-fought game, but lost the serve four times down the stretch. The Lady Cats fell behind in the second game (4-1), but eventually led at one point 7-6. ASU. 7-5 overall and l-l in league play, then jumped to a 12-7 advantage. However, from that point on, WCU reeled off eight unanswered points. In the third game, the Lady Cats again fell behind (5-0 and 9-4) before rallying. In the fourth and deciding game, WCU took and early lead and won the action handily. The contest was the first meeting between the two rivals this season. Last year Appalachian State won the conference tournament and Western finished second. WCU's next volleyball action will be Thursday night against UNC Charllote. That match will be a best-of-five-game set with a 7 pm tip-off time at Reid Gym. JV Football Team Whips Carson-Newman Western Carolina's freshman dominated jayvee football team came back in the second half Monday afternoon to whip Carson-Newman College's jayvees, 22-8, in Whitmire Stadium. WCU was down 8-7 at halftime. but the defensive unit took control in the second half and forced the visitors into several turnovers which helped the junior Catamounts to score 12 points in the third quarter. The offensive leaders for WCU were wide receiver Haywood Smith, quarterbacks Kenny EDwards and Wcs T readway and running back Terrell Griffin. Smith caught five passes for 67 yards and two touchdowns. Treadway, a rookie from Griffin. Ga.. completed 12 of 21 passes for 198 yards and on TD. Edwards, a Brevard freshman, was 4 of 8 for 37 yards and one score. Griffin, a freshman out of Eatonton. Ga., ran 13 times for 59 yards and caught three passes for 40 yards. Former Cullowhee High player Tim Masson booted a 41 yard field goal and added a pair of conversion kicks. Freshman Pete Walker from Clewiston. Fla., had a 39 yard field goal. Jonathan Crooks, an Asheville High product, led the defensive unit with 12 unassisted tackles and caused two fumbles, one of which he recovered. Earlier this season, the jayvees lost to Tennessee Military Institute. 18-17.
