  • Sports The Western Carolinian Page 13 Thursday. September 28. 1989 A Look Back at Louis Cooper by Fredrick Mason A few years ago, there was a popular combination of two defensive ends from Spartanburg and Marion. They were known as the "Blues Brothers: Jake and Elwood," or the "Gruesome Twosome." One of the players was Bernard Jones. The other was Louis Cooper, the focus of this article. Louis Cooper (also known as Elwood) was one of many stars of the Western Carolina Football team of 1984. During his years with the Catamounts, the team enjoyed three straight winning seasons. When he came to the team in 1981, he had to compete with his roommate, Bernard Jones, for the same position. Cooper didn't have the credentials that Jones had, like Shrine Bowl Player or an All-Conference position under his belt. The statistics for Louis Cooper are impressive for his fouryears. In 1984, he was credited with 12 quarterback sacks, a school record. His tackles for losses also netted a school season record—twenty tackles for a loss of 118 yards. He had 30 sacks and a total of 48 tackles for a loss of 249 yards. After four years, Louis Cooper had accumulated a handy set of honors. Cooper made Southern Conference Player of the Week three times, was named to the All-Southern Conference in 1982 and 1984, named to the Associated Press 1AA Ail-American (First Team) in 1984, and was named to the Kodak-American Football Coaches 1-AA Ail-American (First Team) in 1984. Nowadays, Louis Cooper is playing Defensive End for the Kansas City Chiefs. We wish him the best of luck as a former Catamount and now a Chief. WESTERN CAROLINIAN ATHLETE OF TH WEEK by Perryn Oglesby Sponsored by Pizza Hut of Cullowhee Two weeks ago, Regina Brown, WCU's junior co-captain on the Lady Cats Volleyball team, was named Southern Conference Player of the Week. Since that time, she has continued her outstanding play and has been leading the volleyball team thus far in the season. Against Morehead State, Brown led the Catamount offense with 16 kills. She ended the night with a .481 hitting percentage and only had 3 errors. We at the Western Carolinian would like to congratulate Regina Brown for being named this week's Western Carolinian Athlete of the Week. Continue the hard work and best of luck to you and your teammates for the remainder of the season. % Intramural Softball in Full Swing by Shawn Busby The "B" softball team of Pi Kappa Alpha slugged it out against'B" teamers from Sigma Phi Epsilon, while only 30 feet away the ladies of Fantastic Fourth went head to head against Small Miracle in intramural action of September 21. In 7 innings of play, Pi Kappa Alpha defeated the men of Sigma Phi Epsilon 9 to 5. "Our pitching is improving a lot and that is helping our team tremendously," says Stan Smith, Pike assistant coach. Off to a good start, the Pikes scored 5 of their 9 runs in the first inning of play. "Both teams played well today, but our hitting was superior," says Mark Speece, also an assistant coach for the Pikes. Tim Curtis scored the first run for the Pikes and of the the game. His effort was followed with runs by Chris Gibson, Dave Corbet, David Alden, and Jeff Watson. Gibson and Alden finished with 2 runs each on the night. Scoring for the Pikes late in the game were Robert Craft and Brian Grabbler with 1 run each in the 7th and final inning. The Sig Eps were held scoreless until the 4th inning, when Jim Carter crossed home plate. He was followed by Jeff Wilson, who scored in the 5th inning. Although crossing home plate three times during the 7th inning, the Sig Eps were unable to catch the Pikes. According to player Chris Hawkins, "The Sig Eps have not been playing the kind of softball that they are capable of playing." In a high-spirited contest, the ladies of Small Miracle outscored Fantastic Fourth 3 to 0. Jennifer Brown of Fantastic Fourth captured the true mood of the game when she said, "By gosh, we are having a blast!" Nicole Peterson scored early in the 1st inning, putting Small Miracle ahead 1 to 0. Her effort was followed by Robin Ewart, who scored in the 2nd inning of play. In the 5th and final inning, Len Lephart added yet another run, finalizing the score. "For a team that has never worked together before, we do wonderful things on the field," says Kim Collette of Small Miracle. Feeling that spirit is of major importance, Sharon Martin said that "Fantastic Fourth has the most excited and high- spirited team." M don't want a lot of hype. I just want something I can count on.}} ■ ■■ ■■■■■." Some long distance companies promise you the moon, but what you really want is dependable, high-quality service.
