Western Carolinian September 8, 1994 ports Cats Reign in The Rain Robbie Robertson Sports Editor When it rained it poured for the Lenoir-Rhyne Bears Thursday night. After jumping out to a 14-3 lead with 11:10 to go in the first half, the Bears gave up two quick TDs just before a wet second half that cooled off both offenses for the remainder of the game. A 57-yard punt return to Lenoir- Rhyne's 27 yard line by senior Kerry Hayes set up the Catamounts' first touchdown. Two plays later Junior Quarterback Chad Greene threw to senior Craig Aiken in the right-hand corner of the end zone. Phil Shirley's point after pulled Western to within four, 14-10. Western's defense tightened up on the Bear's next possession, and set up the second Cat touchdown. On third and six from his own 21, Lenoir-Rhyne Quarterback Robb Stamey scrambled for three yards before Catamount linebacker Kenny Banks stopped him at the 24. The Cats called their last time-out with 51 seconds to play in the first half. On the next play, Catamount right tackle Leander Davis blocked the Photo By Justin Menickelli Junior Catamount tailback Mark Howell (no.l) breaks through the Lenoir-Rhyne defense.

Senior tai'iDackTim ]onnson carried the ball to the ten yard line, before Hayes took it to the goal line on the next play, with 30 seconds remaining. On first and one, Aiken took a p>ass from Greene for his second touch- d.own of the evening. Shirley added the extra point despite an illegal procedure penalty that pushed him back five yards. The rain intensified in the third half and squelched any serious scoring drives until the fourth quarter. Midway through the fourth quarter, Lenoir-Rhyne mounted a three-play drive to the Western 30-yard line. On first-and-ten from the Lenoir- Rhyne 28, Bear QB Shawn Johnson passed 29 yards to senior tailback Leonard Davis. Johnson's keeper on the next play took the ball to the WCU 30. On the next play, senior strong safety Herb Streater intercepted Johnson's pass on the Catamount 14- yard line. On their next possession, Lenoir-Rhyne advanced 35 yards before giving up the ball on four straight incomplete passes from Stamey. Taking over at the Lenoir- Rhyne 47, Western advanced to the one behind runs by Greene, Senior Chris Houston, and Junior Mark Howell. Senior Marcus Roberts punched it up the middle for the touchdown. Shirley's extra point attempt failed, keeping the score 23-14. The Bear's 41 seconds evaporated on two incomplete passes and a three-yard run by Marvin Melton.

Mismanagement, Construction, Other Factors Keep Driving Range Closed Until April '95 Not surprisingly, the range was closed before fall classes began. It's losing money, and in the spring of 1993 Will Sullivan Staff Reporter A sign on the equipment shed still remains, indicating the hours of operation. A few faithful golfers remain, too, striking ball after ball, searching for the perfect swing. But don't be misled: for the second straight year, the on-campus driving range will be closed. To this point, the driving range has had a short and troubled history. It officially opened in the fall of 1992 under the operation of the physical education department. But from the start, the range was riddled with both mechanical and natural problems. There were equipment failures, most notably with the machine operated ball picker, which literally "picked" the balls from the range at the end of the day. Even when the picker worked, though, there was the persistent problem with the weather and the location of the range itself. The range sits in a particularly low area on campus and stretches uphill. This, coupled with Cullowhee's tendency for heavy amounts of rain, creates a marsh for most of the range. In turn, the range couldn't be mowed on a regular basis, meaning the picker could not be used. (It's ineffective in tall grass.) When the range was mowed, the balls what weren't lost in the marsh were cut and destroyed by the mowers. Confusing enough? Think of it as a chain reaction of problems brought on by Mother Nature herself. Betty Suhre, interim PE department head for the '92-'93 year, estimates between 5000 to 6000 balls were lost in the marsh. She blames the range's problems on other factors as well. "The workers we had out there were students and were not very dependable," Suhre says. "Sometimes they wouldn't even show up for work." was turned over to the athletic department, which planned to use it for the WCU golf team. The range stayed open through the summer of '93 and was been closed ever since. Athletic Director Larry Travis attributes the closing primarily to Continued On Page 17 Lady Cats Win Home Opener ■■■■■ -*- Autumn Putman Staff Reporter The Women's Volleyball team opened the home season in winning fashion Tuesday night, winning in four straight games over Mars Hill. The Lady Cats won the first game, 15-7, lost the second 16-14, and took the final two games 15-5. "I think that (spirit) is the one thing that is our strongest high point right now," said Catamount Head Coach Sara Martin. "The girls are very enthused and excited about changing the reputation of the program." The win Tuesday followed a 2-1 weekend at the A&T State University Labor Day Tournament. After losing the first game 15-17, the Catamounts won the next three games over Campbell, 18- 16,15-7,16-14. The Lady Cats also took three of five game from Alabama State, 15-10, 15-11,6-15,14-16, and 15-9. The loss came against eventual tournament champion UNC-Greens- boro, 15-7,15-4, and 15-8. Senior Emily Tillotson led the Cats with 50 kills in the tournament, including 21 against Alabama State, and Continued On Page 17
