Catamount football welcomes three to team wou opi RELEASE Western Carolina head football coach Kent Briggs has announced the addition of Robbie Sovie (Macon, Ga.), Mark Burgess (Odessa, Fla.) and Marcus Vereen (Winston-Salem, N.C.) to the Catamount squad. The trio are all enrolled at Western and will be able to practice during spring drills. These three players are quality people as well as good football players, Briggs said. They will be very beneficial to our program in addressing some needs. What really excites me is these players will be able to make an impact this spring. Sovie (Stratford Academy) originally signed a football National Letter of Intent with the Western in 2002. However, that spring, he decided to pursue a career in professional baseball after being drafted in the fourth round (110th pick overall) of the Detroit Tigers in the annual Major League Baseball amateur draft. Sovie, who played for the single-A Oneonta Tigers this past season, was widely regarded for his speed. Jim Callis of Baseball America said, The Tigers also locked onto a top athlete in Robbie Sovie, David Berghoefer & Raquel Ramseur the fastest legitimate prospect in the (2002) draft. For Western, Sovie (6-1, 190) will play safety and he will have four years of eligibility with the football program. Not only was Sovie a standout on the baseball diamond, but he was named All-State in football as a senior and sophomore. He was additionally tabbed his regions Player of the Year and All- Middle Georgia as a senior. Sovie is Stratford Academy's all-time leader in rushing yards (4,850), all-purpose yards (5,538) and touchdowns (79). As a senior, he logged 80 tackles, including eight for losses, and three interceptions on defense, while rushing for 1,455 yards and a school-record 29 touchdowns as a senior. He added three receiving TDs that season to also set a school record with 32 scores in a season. Sovie helped Stratford to a 37-3 record over his final three seasons with two AAA state titles and a semifinal appearance. He was a four-time all-region pick, rushing for over 1,000 yards each season. In baseball, Sovie was an All-State selection as a named Arbys/Catamount Student- Athletes of the month wou opirevease The Western Carolina department of athletics has named junior center David Berghoefer (mens basketball) and freshman Sprinter Raquel Ramseur (womens track & field) its Arbys/Catamount Student- Athletes of the Month for December. Berghoefer (Cross Plains, Wisc.) averaged 13.3 points in the Catamounts seven games during the month, which included a season- high 22 points in the Dec. 1 victory over Liberty. He connected on 10-of-18 shots versus the reigning Big South tournament champions, adding a season-high six steals in the winning effort. Berghoefer was also instrumental in Western Carolina's victory over instate rival, East Carolina. The junior tallied a double- double of 18 points and 13 rebounds helping the Catamounts record their first-ever victory Over a Conference USA opponent, which was also just the ninth SoCon triumph in 52 chances versus C-USA since 1996-97. In mid-December, Berghoefer turned in his second double-double performance of the month by scoring 18 and pulling down 11 boards in the loss at the Big Tens lowa Hawkeyes. Ramseur (Charlotte, N.C.) was a part of a record-breaking day for the Western Carolina's indoor track & field teams at the non-team scored Appalachian Invitational held in early December. The first-year sprinter scorched the field with a Holmes Convocation Center record 55.73 in the 400-meter dash, eclipsing the previous record by more than a second. Ramseur was also a part of Westerns 4x400- meter relay team that smashed the old course record by more than WCnewsmagazine senior, batting .538 (second-best, single- season average in Stratford history) and hitting 14 home runs. Burgess (Tampa Jesuit HS) comes to Western after spending three seasons as a backup offensive lineman at Tulane. The 6-5, 295-pound Burgess will have two years of eligibility at Western, redshirting as a true freshman with the Green Wave. At Tampa Jesuit, he was a first team All- State selection as ajunior. He missed most of his senior season with an injury, but still landed on the all-district squad, as well as being listed on the St. Petersburg Times and Tampa Tribune all-county teams in 2001. He additionally was named one of Floridas top 100 players by the Orlando Sentinel and one of the top 75 players in the state by FloridaPrep.com. Also, prior to the injury his senior year, Athlon had him listed as one of the top 25 linemen in the nation. Burgess was invited to play in Hillsborough County and Florida-Georgia all-star games.
