  • February 23, 2000 SPORTS WESTERN CAROLINIAN 19 Catamounts Knock Off the Champs Continued from back His twin brother, Jonas, finished with six points and eight rebounds, which put him over the 100 career rebound mark in this his rookie season. He currently has 107. Jarvis Hayes stated, "I think that the better team won tonight." Sophomore forward Cory Largent added double-digits with 11 in the winning effort. He also connected on five of six free throws, including four within the last 21 seconds to seal the win. Charleston head coach John Kresse stated, "Western was hitting on all cylinders tonight. They were very aggressive. [Dondrell] Whitmore was magnificent and Jarvis [Hayes] was unstoppable." He added, "[WCU] had the quick feet tonight, but this was a learning lesson. This game prepared us for the tournament." Speaking of quick feet and getting into position, Catamount point guard Casey Rogers scored 10 points and added nine assist, but took four charges on the Cougar offense. "Casey [Rogers] is a great point-guard," summed up Kresse. Hopkins echoed Kresse's comments. "Casey stepped up big time [taking four charges]. That says a lot about him and the way he plays." Western took the early lead on a Jarvis Hayes three-pointer. After relinquishing the lead midway through the first half, the Cats held the advantage for the final 31 minutes photo courtesy Mark Haskett/OPI Sophomore forward Cory Largent sealed the win with four clutch free-throws down the stretch in Monday's thrilling victory. of the game. Late in the second stanza, the Cougars drew to within two on two occasions, but Largent's free throws spaced the teams out, securing the win. Western Carolina travels to Boone on Saturday to take on the other divisional first- place team, the Appalachian State Mountaineers. The Catamounts will look to avenge the 20-point set-back experienced in Cullowhee. On the upcoming game in Boone, Whitmore commented, "We've got to stay focused. They blew us out down here, but we've got to move on and we want to go up there and do to them what they did to us down here." "I'm going to make that my last game up there too," he added.
