  • ■■ \ . 1 Conference Football Preview p. 15 August 25, 1999 Cats Gearing Up for Season Tracy Biggs Out for Six Weeks photo courtesy OPI After being out last year with an injury, Shawn Snyder will be starting QBfor the Cats. by Daniel Hooker Sports Editor This past Saturday, the Western Carolina University football team held its second scrimmage in preparation for the 1999 season. Third-year head coach Bill Bleil was pleased with the progress and effort that his team exhibited. "We had some good things on both sides of the ball," said Bleil. I think one of the things that you want to have in a scrimmage is an up tempo and intensity, and I feel we had that." "I think we're slightly ahead of where we were last year, but we're way ahead confidence- wise," explained Bleil. The day consisted of a mixture of series, pitting the different strings against each other. Senior Shawn Snyder completed 14-of-26 passes, for 163 yards, including a 24-yard touchdown strike to junior Aaron Wright. Snyder, who sat out most of last season due to a ankle injury, is Bleil's starting quarterback heading into the opening game. "I think he (Snyder) matured (last year)." stated Bleil. " He's got a better knowledge of the game after that (injury) and he feels more comfortable with the offense." Bleil and his coaching staff didn't get a true look at the offense because preseason all-conference selection Brad Hoover didn't participate because of his shin splints. However, according to Bleil, Hoov will practice in the Purple/Gold game, and will be ready for the season opener against Mars Hill. On the ground in Hoover's absence, senior Tracy Biggs gained 52 yards on 13 carries, including a 61 yard touchdown reception on a screen-pass. Unfortunately for the Cats, an injury originally diagnosed as a foot fracture turned out to be torn ligaments in his left foot. Biggs was WCU's second-leading rusher last season. Darius Hooks, who was the third in rushing last season, tallied the most rushing yards with 90 on 22 carries. Defensively, the Catamounts appear to have picked up where they left off from last season with the man-handling of the Appala chian State offense. "The defense is playing with a lot of intensity. Our offense is ahead of where they were a year ago. We had some problems on offense that were caused by our defense," said Bleil. Just as the offense was short- handed, the defense was missing a key element in senior defensive tackle Anthony Jenkins. The second-team all-conference selection sat out of the scrimmage due to some tendentious in Achilles tendon. Yet, that was the only practice he had missed. "Jenks just needed some time to back off a little and heal," explained Bleil. Cullowhee can get their first look at the 1999 Cats as they go under the lights this Thursday night with the Meet the Cats - Purple/Gold game. Fans will get the opportunity to see all three teams, offense against defense. The first teams will get approximately 30 plays, with the other teams getting around 50 snaps. Festivities kick-off with the second-annual Rib Cook-Off, with the scrimmage starting at 7 pm at E.J. Whitmire Stadium/Bob Waters Field. Shipley Leads by Four Strokes After First Round by Don Costello Editor-in-Chief WAYNESVILLE—The Green Jacket. The Claret Jug. The Wanamaker Trophy. The Judaculla Cup. The Juda-what? Don't worry, you're not the first person to wonder what the Judaculla Cup is. It may not come with the exemptions, fame, glory and money that golf's most prized trophies come with, but to the Western Carolina women's golf team, the Judaculla Cup may be the most coveted chalice in Cullowhee. On Monday, the Lady Cats took to the links for the first round of the tournament at Waynesville Country Club. The first 18 holes of the 72-hole event were full of high drama as 10 golfers battled for only the five seats on the van that will traverse to Myrtle Beach, S.C, on September 10 for the Unlimited Potential Fall I ■ ■ Invitational. \J vl The 5493-yard Donald Ross layout presented a challenge for some of the ladies, especially new players not accustomed to the course. Suzanne Shipley, a junior from Aiken, S.C, played the par-70 course like Donald Ross would have liked. She fired a two-over par 72 to take a four shot lead after the first round. "I just wanted to come out today and lla have fun," said Shipley, a left handed player who putts right-handed. 'Because of that I was more relaxed." Relaxed indeed. The lefty had four birdies, a college career record, and three-putted only one green. "My dad came up over the weekend and helped me a lot, expecially on putting," Shipley said. Named after the famous Judaculla rock just a few miles from campus, the Judaculla Cup was the brain child of head coach Steve Lott. Lott held the first inter-squad competition last year in an attempt to allow the players to be acclimated to the pressures of tournament golf before the team went out to compete as a team. Senior Sarah Parris, the 1998 winner of the Judaculla Cup, posted an 84 in her first round in defense of the prize. Parris' scored places her in sixth place with 54 holes remaining. Jessica Blake, the only other senior on the team, completed the first round with a 76 to put her in second place behind Shipley. Blake found herself four shots behind Shipley after nine holes but recovered to shoot one-over par on the back nine to stay within four of the leader. Sitting in third place is freshman Katie Schmidt. In her first competitive round in college, Schmidt shot a 78 while playing 'Judaculla' continued p. 13
