Catamount football opens 2011 preseason camp. From Staff Reports Preseason practice for the Western Caro- lina Catamount football team opened earlier this month on the turf of Bob Waters Field at E.J. Whitmire Stadium. WCU had 95 players report to camp and suit up. WCU fourth-year head coach Dennis Wag- ner was pleased with the execution ofhis team both offense and defense after the opening day of practice. Today was a good day of practice for us, said Wagner. Weve set the standard high and need to raise it every day; we need to continue to get better every day. The Catamounts are preparing for a 2011 season that will feature six home dates and a Thursday night season-opener at Georgia Tech. The 2011 season opens prior to the Labor Day holiday on Thursday, Sept. 1 and runs through mid-November with the opening round of the NCAA Football Championship Subdivision (FCS) playoffs slated for Nov. 26. The schedule has three non-conference games with the pent Southern Conference games. We are Sate) about our 2011 schedule -and the challenges it presents our football: team, said Wagner. Opening our season at Georgia Tech on a Thursday night will create a lot of excitement to start the season off and help us prepare for the tough Southern Con- ference.

Following a current open date on Sept. 17, the Catamounts open conference play with a road trip to Statesboro, Ga., to face 2010 play- off participant, Georgia Southern, on Sept. 24.

The Cata- mounts host Wofford on Nov. 5 before travel- ing to Boone, N.C., for the 76th all-time meet- ing with Appalachian State in the renewal of the Battle for the Old Mountain Jug. The Catamounts will host Coastal Caro- ; lina to conclude the regular season. The game art of home-and-home deal between the nity to Toe with Coastal Carolina University: for a two game series, said WCU Director of Athletics, Chip Smith. The game finalizes our 2011 schedule with a quality opponent. Western Carolina originally had 10 games on their schedule earlier this year and two open dates after the league ledger was shuf* fled prior to the schedules release. Smith and Wagner had hoped to add a home game to complete the 11-game slate, doing so with the Chanticleers who play in the Big South Con- ference. It will be the first-ever ticcting, between Western Carolina and Coastal Carolina, which added football in 2003. WCU is slated to re- turn to Coastal in the 2015 season. For the Catamounts, it is the first time since 2001 that ae their football schedule features more es. i "dates (six) than road (five.) The Catamounts open their annual spring drills on Monday, March 14 with the NCAA- mandated 15 practices to be spread over five weeks. Practice will be held during the after- noon with a spring event scheduled for Satur- _ day, April 16 in Cullowhee. Scifers helps write concussion law, wins national athletic trainer award WCU News Services Student-athletes in North Carolinas middle and high schools should be better-protected from harmful effects of concussions and other head injuries beginning this fall, thanks to the efforts of a team of health care professionals that includes James Scifers, director of the School of Health Sciences at Western Carolina University. Scifers, who also serves as president of the N.C. Athletic Trainers Association, helped write the bill that became the Gfeller-Waller Concussion Awareness Act, signed into law by _Goy. Bev Perdue. Named for two high school football players who died from head injuries in 2008, the legislation was approved unani- mously by the N.C. House of Representatives and N.C. Senate before going to the governor. The act, which takes effect this fall, estab- lishes a mandatory concussion awareness edu- cation program for public school student-ath- letes and their parents and coaches, as well as volunteers and first responders. It also requires players who show signs or symptoms of a con- cussion to be removed from play or practice and not return until being cleared by a physi- cian, nurse practitioner, physician assistant or ~ athletic trainer. Each school that fields student- athletes must also develop an emergency plan to deal with serious head injuries. This law will protect secondary school athletes across the state and will literally save lives, said Scifers, associate professor a ath- letic training at WCU. Scifers involvement in drafting legislation aimed at protecting young student-athletes is just one example of why he recently was named recipient of one of the nations top hon- ors in the field of athletic training. He received a 2011 Most Distinguished Athletic Trainer Award from the National Athletic Trainers As- sociation during its annual meeting in June. Dedication, innovation, loyalty and lead- ership are common traits among MDAT re- cipients, said Eve Becker-Doyle, executive director of the National Athletic Trainers As- sociation. Those who receive the honor serve as an inspiration to their peers and as role mod- els to'the next generation of certified athletic trainers. The award is given in recognition of out- * PHOTO BY ASHLEY TL EVANS Laden ed ee ee U ENE O ROOM TEED OHO AE HEU RE URES EERE HHOMEGR ESD OM ERNE GA EERE ESOL EORIVAORD ERD ER FRAGT REA EYREVEEVROTEERDORR ORES OE SE EA ETAEY ASTRON HUNOOR TEE OSES ERED EEREV ED SEU NEO NECAOLEM THER EDRAS ES TEDE standing dedication and service to the athletic training profession. Recipients must have held the certified athletic trainer credential for at least 20 years; have been recognized for ser- vice to the profession of athletic training at the local, state national and/or international levels; have exhibited distinguished service as a certi- fied athletic trainer; and have been recognized for unique contributions to the profession of athletic training. Dr. Scifers is richly deserving of the award, said Roche] Rittgers, chair of the NATA honors and awards committee. Jay has dedicated his career to educating future ath- letic trainers, to providing quality health care Services and to the overall betterment of the athletic training profession. : A member of the WCU faculty since 2003, Scifers frequently volunteers his time and ath- letic training skills at sporting events on cam- - pus, in the community and at local schools. y T really enjoy affecting peoples lives in a positive way, whether that involves rehabilitat- ing a patient following an ACL surgery or pro- viding treatment and education to a patient suf- fering from a herniated disc, he said. I enjoy the personal interaction and the positive impact I can have on the quality of an individuals life through the provision of athletic training ser- vices. Scifers said he also finds that same type of joy in sharing his athletic training expertise with students at WCU. Seeing a student be- come excited when he or she comprehends a complex clinical problem or masters a practi- cal skill is incredibly rewarding, he said. ae instantly became addicted to teaching the first time I worked with a student who experienced one of these light bulb moments: I am fortu- nate enough to see students grow personally -and professionally every single day I teach. Scifers is regarded by his students and by i faculty colleagues as an exceptional teacher, and in 2006 he received the Chancellors Dis- tinguished Teaching Award, the highest honor a faculty member can receive at WCU. * While I could treat a few dozen patients each day and have a positive impact on their quality of life, through teaching, my former students are literally affecting the lives of thou- sands of patients. on a daily basis. Each of them _is carrying a small piece of what they learned from me into their professional practice every day, he said. Founding director of WCUs program in athletic training, Scifers is former program director of athletic training education at Salis- . bury University in Maryland. He holds a bach- elors degree from East Stroudsburg Universi- ty in Pennsylvania, masters degree in physical therapy from Emory University, and doctorate in orthopedic physical therapy from the Uni- versity of Maryland-Baltimore.
