The Cats got the ball down the floor quickly and into King's hands. King was fouled, though, and went to the line for a one-and-one. The first shot clanged out, and the Bulldogs rebounded. Jones hit the two free throws to ice the game. from the ACC, SEC, SC and other NCAA I-A and I-AA conferences and independent schools in the Carolinas, Georgia, Virginia and Florida. He has been selected to the SC All-Academic Team for three consecutive years.

'Cats Top Eagles" from pg. 8 Head Coach Benny Dees was understandably unhappyafter the game saying, "We can't finish games. We had Chattanooga in the same position. We were awfully, awfully flat, and I don't know why." The loss ended Western Carolina's home winning streak and dropped them to 2-4 in Southern conference play. put the game away for the Cats at 86-82. Before he headed for the locker room, Dees saluted the student section for their support during the game. It was a much more relieved Dees that met the press after the game. - "That was the first game we finished in I don't know how long," Dees said. The first half was a back and forth affair with the lead changing hands nine times. Momentum finally swung the Cats' way for good with 3:31 left in the half. Johnny Scott was called for a foul, a call Dees did not agree with. About ten seconds of screaming drew a technical foul, sending the players and fans into a frenzy. Pierre McKisic hit the two technical foul shots, but Tim Heath missed the two foul shots, causing an even louder eruption from the crowd.
