I WESTERN -^jr aroliniaN Servo pageic Catamoun fofatfy fi/ased Catamount Coverage February 23, 2000 I Upsai. Couzjiifz by Daniel Hooker Sports Editor In front of the second largest Ramsey Center crowd of the year, the Western Carolina Catamounts avenged a 30-point defeat handed to them in last year's CoiC 74 Southern Conference Tourna- WCU 78 ment with a 78-74 victory over the College of Charleston Cougars Monday night. The win was WCU's second-straight, fourth in their last five. It also guaranteed Western Carolina a winning regular-season with a 14-12 record, 7-8 in the conference, with one game to go. College of Charleston's five-game winning streak was ended, dropping their record to 21-5, 12-3 in the Southern Conference. It also prevented the Cougars from claiming their second-straight conference title, outright. Catamount head coach Phil Hopkins was elated following the win. "This was a great team effort. Everybody contributed like they have for our last few games," said Hopkins. "We played unselfish and together." Hopkins added, "Outside of the ASU win my first year, this was my biggest win. The students had a big impact on the game with their great support. The Ramsey Center is our house and we proved that tonight. "This was a good win for our program and a great win for our student body." On a night where the two seniors of Hopkins' squad were honored, they chose to shine in their own ways. Forward Dondrell Whitmore finished with 19 points and 10 rebounds, performances that moved him into a tie for 21 st in WCU career scoring and gave him 200 rebounds this season. Whitmore said following his last game in the Ramsey Center, "It felt real good to get this win. I heard that a lot of fans were coming out tonight and I knew that a lot of them had never seen me play before. I wanted to leave them with something to remember." He added, "I wanted to go out with a bang," Senior Leon Davis added six points on three of four shooting with four boards, three of which were on the offensive end, in his Cullowhee finale. Yet, his presence on the defensive end against a very physical Jody Lumpkin was very crucial. "It was a big win for us," said senior Leon Davis. "Right now, we're going to focus on what's ahead and that's Appalachian. We've just got to play hard." Hopkins had nothing but high praise for his senior duo. "I thought Dondrell and Leon fought as hard tonight as they've fought all year," said Hopkins. "It came through for them in the end. What a way for them to go out." Hopkins added, "When we were honoring Dondrell and Leon before the game, I realized that this might be my last game here too. But, I think this [win] might have helped on that." Western Carolina was led by freshman sensation Jarvis Hayes. His 20 points, 13 of which came in the first half, and five rebounds helped propel WCU to the momentous win. It was the 15th straight game that Jarvis has posted double-digit scoring. 'CATAMOUNTS KNOCK OFF THE CHAMPS' Continued on page 19 Catamount Baseball Back to Winning Ways by Daniel Hooker Sports Editor After starting out 0-5 on the year and being outscored 59-10 in those losses, the Western Carolina Catamounts picked WbU 4_ up their first wins of WCU 16 the season this weekend in a three-game sweep of the Wright State Raiders. It marks the second-straight year that the Catamounts have swept the Raiders. Western Carolina won the Sunday finale 16-4, with a Saturday sweep of 18-3 and 13-11, improving their record to 3-5 on the season. Head coach Todd Raleigh was pleased with the way his team bounced back from their slow start, but was quick to point out that it's still early. "Coming back from down 10-1 fin game 1 ] gave us confidence and the lift we needed. It carried over into game two and today," said Raleigh. "I think that the hitting relaxed everyone." He added, "We've got a long way to go, but we've made good strides." Senior centerfielder Charles Thomas said, "This sweep was real big and real important especially right before conference games." In the Sunday match- Rod Goldston up, WCU answered Wright State's two-runs in the first two innings with a three-hit, five-run outburst in the bottom of the second, which was all they needed in the 16-4 trouncing of the Raiders. Freshman first-baseman Alan Beck paced the Cats at the plate, going three for four with his first career homerun. The Hudson, NC, native drove in three runs, while also scoring a pair. Another freshman, Ramseur, NC's Rod Goldston, had two hits on the day, including a double. He also plated two runs and scored two as well. Sophomore pitcher Wes Overbay picked up his first win on the year, scattering four hits and four runs over five innings while striking out nine. The hits kept coming in Saturday's sec ond game as the Catamounts hammered out 18 runs on 12 hits in a seven inning contest. Cat hurler, freshman Jared Burton, went the entire seven innings, scattering three runs on three hits, striking out 12. Burton was so good on the hill, he had a no-hitter going into the top of the seventh. It was there that the Raiders were able to muster up their three hits. For the Catamounts at the plate, Charles Thomas was a perfect four for four, scored three runs and drove in a pair. Catcher Matt Price was one for two, with four RBI's and 12 put outs. Freshman Morgan Frazier finished two for four with three RBIs and two runs 'CATS POUND RAIDERS' Continued on page 18
