  • February 22,1996 Western Carolinian 19 Sports Cats Get Revenge at Furman by Jason Queen Staff Reporter Anquell McCollum poured in 38 points to lead four Catamounts in double figures as Western pulled off a 97-85 win over Furman in Greenville Saturday night. The loss avenged Furman's win in the Ramsey Center earlier this season, when the Paladins ended the game with a 17-0 run to pull off the victory. The game was somewhat overshadowed by the fact that Catamount forward Kevin Kullum was not in uniform. The6'7" senior had to fly home to St. Louis early Friday morning due to a family emergency. His status for the remainder of te season is questionable. Despite his •wnce, Coach Phil Hopkins liked what he Wfrom his team. "This was a big win for is. This may have been our best team effort 01 ™ year," an obviously pleased Hopkins Rafter the big win. This was a seesaw battle from the opening tip as neither team could build a sizeable lead the entire first half.. Joel Fleming's runner in the lane gave the Cats their biggest lead of the game, 25-20, with just under 12 minutes left in the half.. But Furman! responded with a 7-0 run to take a two-point lead a few moments later. Joe Stafford's three-point bomb with five minutes to go in the half gave the Cats another five-point lead, 41-36. But the Paladins' Jason Stewart hit back-to-back threes of his own to help Furman retake the lead. Jai;vis Graham's offensive rebound and put-back in the closing moments of the half gave the Cats a 49-48 edge at the break. Q was simply unstoppable in the first half. He was 9-of-l 1 from the floor and 4-of-6 from three-point land for 22 points. "I don't really need to say much about Q. He's jus^ a great player," Hopkins said about his senior star. Equally impressive was Furman's two-headed monster of freshmeln Jason Stewart and Andre Kerr. Bitch & Moan I've Heard Enough Commentary Terry K.

Besides fUnction hP8ratUity in attending any seminar a "how-to" publish e P°'nt is this, they(all of the above) should show up at the Ramsey Chapel or^ Monday night. No excuses, no whining, just be there, you have an obligation^ a member of this univer- j sity and this community to support WCU basketball. OK, let's imagine the napping cats awaken from their self-centeredness and ; show up at the Ramsey Chapel on Monday evening. Ifthey do why don t you Athletic! Director Larry Travis, let us, the student body, come to the floor- I mean the edge of the wood, the court, where we can feel a part of the process, connected to the game ifyouw.ll, and not quarantined behind press row. I recall a Reid Gym that struck fear .n the shorts of any visiting jersey. The students were close, the air hot, the noise was deafening. The Cats backed the Cats. I knew Reid Gym, the Ramsey Chapel is no Reid Gym. This doesn't mean we as a body ot Cats can't commit to making the Ramsey Chapel a notorious, unforgiving painful vmue for any visitor, no business il our town. Lets send them home embarrassed. I'll see you at the House party on Monday, Right? R^ They combined for 30 of the Paladins' 48 points in the half. After Kerr led off the second half with a three, the Cats exploded on a 13-0 run to take a 62-53 lead at the 16:00 mark. Stafford, Fleming, and Q all hit treys during that stretch. Stafford's trifecta just three minutes later gave the Cats a comfortable 71-61 advantage. With 8 minutes left in the game, McCollum picked up his fourth foul with the Cats holding a slim 79-74 lead. Hopkins wasted little time in getting his floor leader back in the game, however, as Furman point guard Terry McGann cut the lead to 79-76 a few moments later. With 6:06 left in the game, Hopkins decided to take a chance and let McCollum back in the game. The senior, as he has done all year, responded. He scored the Cats' next eight points and helped push the lead back to 87-80 with 3:50 to play. The Cats hit their next six free throws to put the game away. "This was a big rord win for us," Hopkins added. "I was really pleased with our effort tonight." It was especially sweet for Hopkins, who had several friends and relatives at the game. NOTES: Chuck Vincent who dominated the Cats earlier in the year, scored just 12 points on the night. "Scott Scholtz, Jarvis Graham, and Kerry Wright accepted that challenge tonight," Hopkins added. Graham played another solid game off the bench, as he scored 17 points and corralled 12 boards, nine on the offensive end. Scholtz finished with 12 points and nine rebounds, and Fleming chipped in 13 points and six assists. McCollum shot 14-of-27 from the floor, 6-of-ll from beyond the arc, and pulled down seven boards. Ken- led the Paladins with 29 points. Fernando Daniel's three-pointer cut the Cats' lead to 7-6 with 17:54 left in the first half, but the Cats exploded to take a 31 Baseball Team Finally Picks Up Victory by Jason Queen Staff Writer After starting the year 0-6, the Western Carolina baseball Cats finally broke into the win column oyer the weekend by winning two of three over Wright State in Cullowhee. Starters Clark Maxwell and Dale Pilgrim pitched solid games in the first two games of the three-game set. Wright State did manage to win the third game of the series Sunday afternoon. GAME ONE: WCU 4 - WSU 3. Maxwell, the ace of the Catamounts' staff, limited Wright St. to just five hits. The visitors jumped out to a 3- 0 lead in the top of the third, but the Cats scored two in the fourth, <^ne in the sixth, and completed the rally jvith a run in the seventh. Western's defense, which has been shaky all season, committed three errors in the glame. Maxwell walked only three anjl struck out 13 to improve to 1-1 on th<| young season. Alex Tolbert led the Cats at the plate, going 2-for-4 with a homerun and 3 RBI. GAME TWO: WCU 15 - WSU 1. Right Fielder Tony Home went 2- for-5 with a homerun and an incredible 7 RBI as seven Cats enjoyed multi-hit games. While Home provided the offense, Pilgrim was superb on the hill. He threw seven innings, allowed one hit, one run (which was unearned), three walks, and struck out five to pick up his first win of the season. Designated Hitter Dave McKay went 3-for-3, and Martin Barrow, Alex Tolbert, Home, Chris Moore, Jeff Sziksai, and Matt Stillwell all had two hits apiece in the 1 8-hit parade. Moore also homered for the Cats. GAME THREE: WSU 8 - WCU 6. Western jumped out to a 5-1 lead after two innings, but Wright State scored five runs in the next two innings to go ahead 6-5. They held on from there to leave Cullowhee with a win. The Cats defense broke down and committed two more errors that led to three unearned runs. Tolbert led the Cats at the plate, going 2-for-2 with 3 RBI. Kevin Baldwin was also 2-for-2 and scored 3 runs. The loss dropped the Cats to 2-7 on the year. The Cats play a three-game set at East Tennessee State this weekend.
