  • WESTERN 10 CAROLINIAN SPORTS September 05, 2001 Cats Win Opener continued from back yards rushing on 22 carries, followed by sophomore Fred Boateng, who gained 67 yards in 18 attempts. Sophomore quarterback Brian Gaither passed for 65 yards on 7-17 passing, with a lone interception. Last season's Southern Conference Freshman of the Year Lamont Seward led the Cats' receiving corps with four receptions for 51 yards. Junior Michael Banks followed with 39 yards on three catches. Head coach Bill Bleil, in his weekly question on catamountsports.com, commented that he will try to maintain a mix of air and ground game on offense. However, he states, the team has already proved it's running game to be strong. "We have always attempted to have a balanced attack, and that is something we will once again strive for this season," he said. "A team will always utilize the talent it has and that includes our outstanding running backs." The passing game, on the other hand, will travel as far as the young arm of Gaither can carry it. "We feel Brian Gaither made strides in the second half of the Mars Hill game after he settled down. We look for him to only get better as he gets more on-field experience." The Catamount defense held the Lions to just one of 13 on third down conversions. and only 12 total first downs, while forcing four turnovers. In addition to his interception, Fryer also recovered a fumble on MHC's opening drive. Cross Country Squads Sweep WCU/Papa's Invitational photo by Mark Haskett/ OPI Senior tailback Donnie Bryant marches down the field Thursday against Mars Hill. Bryant led all rushers with 116 yards on 22 carries and scored the only two Catamount touchdowns. Mars Hill was also limited to 41 yards on 29 carries rushing, an average of 1.4 yards per carry. Western defenders held Gatlin to 12 completions on 29 attempts, being equally stingy through the air. The win was the ll"1 all- time for WCU over the Lions in 17 meetings, the most recent being a 59-0 slaughter in 1999. Next, Western will travel to Louisville, KY, to face the Division 1-A powerhouse Cardinals of Louisville. Kickoff is set for Saturday night at 7 p.m. By Gory Habicht Sports Editor Western Carolina men's and women's cross country squads took first place in the WCU/Papa's Invitational Saturday morning. The men's squad edged out Cumberland College of Kentucky 26-29 while the women's team beat out South Carolina 39-46. On the men's side, sophomore Caleb Bailey came home first in the 8k competition with a time of 26:14. The Lawrenceville, Ga., native was fallowed by junior Jesse Norman in fourth and senior Andrew Pruett in eighth, notching times of 26:34 and 27:04, respectively. WCU and CC dominated the race, as no other school posted a top ten finisher. Mars Hill managed to take third place with a score of 87, followed by Anderson at 123, Tusculum at 148 and Oglethorpe at 158. Head coach Danny Williamson noted that the squad's competition, though lacking one big name, was tough and a. good test for the Cats early in the year. "On the men's side, Clem- son usually comes but could not attend this year," he said. "But Cumberland is one of the top -three teams in the country photo by Mark Haskett/ OPI Lady Cat runners Jerrine Peeler, Alissa Short, Melaine Cooper and Megan Thackerforge ahead in the women's race. Western notched four top-tenfinishes to beat out South Carolina and Clemson. in NAIA and cross country is their top sport. They have been a past champion several times in this event before, and beat us by 80 points last year." As for the women, senior Holly Bright was the top finisher in third place with a 19:32 clip on the 5k course. Sophomores Jerrine Peeler and Alissa Short followed suit, racing to eighth and ninth-place finished at 19:51 and 19:55, respectively. Rounding out the top ten for the Lady Cats was junior Melanie Cooper, whose time of 19:57 proved good enough for tenth-place. Western was the only squad on the women's side to place four runners in the top ten. photo by Mark Haskett/ OPI Sophomore Caleb Bailey leads the pack of the men's race at the WCU Invitational. Bailey finished first with a time of 26:14 to lead the Cats to a three-point victory. Despite South Carolina's individual runners taking first and second place, having no other top ten performances, cost the Gamecocks the title, falling seven short of WCU. Clemson finished a distant third at 70 while none of the six other competitors managed to score under 100. Williamson pointed out that the women had to compete against a tougher field than the men. "The competition was pretty tough because you had South Carolina and Clemson who are two big schools," he said. "Our team did an outstanding job running together." The cross country squads will get their first taste of Southern Conference action this Saturday in the Catamount Classic at home. The men will be running a 5000m course while the women will compete in a 2.2-mile event. The races will begin at 9:30 Saturday morning. Facing conference rivals College of Charleston, East Tennessee State and Furman, among others, leads Williamson to believe the talent at the races will be deeper than that of the WCU/Papa's Invitational. "In the front of the pack it may not be any tougher," he said. "But the depth of the field will be much tougher."
