The Appalachian State Mountaineers survived a great defensive effort and a late- game charge by the Western Carolina Catamounts to retain possession of the "Old Mountain Jug" by posting a 13-7 win in a cold and blustery Boone, N.C. Head Coach Bill Bleil commented following the game, "App State is a good football team. They're a very well-coached. I thought our kids played extremely hard. I thought they battled hard." For the second week in a row, the West- em Carolina defense was stellar—the offense, let's just say, wasn't. They could only muster 220, while the Cats' defense held the potent Appalachian offense, which came in averaging 381 yards a game, to a mere 228 Photo by T.K. Roberts. total yardage. App State Wins Volleyball "Offensively, at times, we looked pretty good. But, we put ourselves in second and third and long situations too many times. Those are hard to overcome," noted Bleil. He added, "Defensively, we played incredible. I think they did everything they possibly could. Overall, defensively, I thought we played really well." The loss, which drops Western to 3-7, 3-5 m the conference, was the 13th straight defeat of the Catamounts at the hands of the Mountaineers. Appalachian State improves to 7-3, 6- 2 m the conference. It was another disappointing weekend tor quarterback Shawn Snyder, a Tennessee native, who threw for only 67 yards and was sacked eight times. With three minutes remaining in the game and a shut-out staring them in the face, Bleil pulled Snyder in favor of senior Josh Brooks. Brooks, who lost his starting position 0 ^yder following the Wofford loss, came and was 7-9 for 89 yards, which included spectacular scrambling pass play to Lamont Wl|l<ams that netted 44 yards. Brooks was also recently named to the Go^nwn,Fo0tban Coaches Association pla^K J63"1- This g^p honored 22 onlv? y 'r selecti°n- Brooks was the enee 6 V°ted in from the Southern Confer- the W faX, aS the Startin8 quarterback for -«^fcrn0^8iMhadbecnan- wnentheCaro/ima/i went to press. as to wh" °ther hand'there is no debating r^5!»wiH start at fullback. Sophomore Brad Hoover had another good day. He rushed for 75 yards in 14 carries, for an average of 5.4 yards per carry. He would have been over 100 yards on the day if a 37-yard run in the third quarter hadn't been erased by a holding penalty. On the defensive side of the ball, senior Marcus Bradley, who was named the Southern Conference Defensive Player ofthe Week despite the Cats' loss, matched Hoover's great performance. Bradley, who has been the cornerstone of the Cats' defense throughout the season, totaled 18 tackles, four of which were for 26 yards in losses. Bradley also had three sacks on ASU's Bake Baker. As a whole, the Cats held the Appalachian State team, whose lowest point total coming in to the game was 12 against Clemson of the ACC. App had scored 262 points going into the game. Western's lone touchdown came at the end of an 11-play, 82-yard drive engineered by Josh Brooks. The Cats drove down the field, and on a fourth and seven play from the ASU 13- yard line, Brooks found that Kenya Crooks had the coverage beat for the touchdown. The ensuing on-sides kick attempt by Western was unsuccessful, and ASU ran out the remainder of the clock. Bleil stated, "I am proud of these guys. They play hard." The Catamounts will look to end their season on a high note as they travel to Birmingham, Ala., to take on the Samford Bulldogs ^ tKisyeSr, run off all those extra turkey calories in the CASHIERS TURKEY RUN-OFF 5K Run/Fitness Walk _ . in downtown Cashiers. t'ndav, November 28th, 9:00 a.m. Registrar t ' 3/I m"* cours»- Walkers and runners are both welcome. «<on forms available at the Highland Hiker and the Market Basket .

Photo courtesy of Sports Information. by Daniel Hooker Wrapping up what was a weekend of rivalry games in the city of Boone, the home- standing Appalachian State Mountaineers overcame a sluggish start to beat the Western Carolina Catamounts, 15-4,13-15,10-15,and 11-15. This loss drops Western down to 13-19 overall, and 6-10 in the Southern Conference. App State moves to 18-13. Western Carolina started out tough, eas- ily winning the first game by 11, at 15-4. Behind the serve of Greensboro, N.C, native Ramsey Herron, the Cats jumped out to a 13- 3 advantage en route to the victory. Yet, after that, it was all down for the purple and gold. App State went on, despite tough play by Western, to take three straight games and the match. Head coach Michelle Hansen appeared very frustrated following the disappointing loss to the Mountaineers. She commented that the team became "tentative" and "too careful" down the stretch. Hansen also noted that the ball control was inconsistent. Shannon Sweeney led the Cats with 12 kills, and Sheri Gibson had 17 assists and 19 digs. Holly Poff, who has played well in the past few matches, added 7 kills and 16 digs. The bright spot for the Cats since the loss of Jessi Fick has been the play of Ramsey Herron. On Saturday, Herron broke the WCU's season block assist record of 111, which was set only a year ago by Mary O. Goebel. Against ASU, she finished with 6, which put her over the top. Western Carolina will start its run for the Southern Conference title this Friday night against the Davidson Wildcats (14-16, 10-6). On November 9, the Catamounts defeated the Wildcats here in Cullowhee, 3-2. WCU is the 6th seed going into the tourney which will be held in Statesboro, Ga. The Cats will look (o erase a winless skid in the first-round game that dates back to 1992.
