Page B-3 WESTERN CAROLINIAN March 23, 2012 =. Asia Buss, Staff Writer v9 ; as J < & With an overall season vx eae of 9-8 and a confer- _ ence record of 8-10, the Catamount Mens Basketball team has concluded its 2011- 12 season. == Ending head coach Lane + Hunters seventh season at Wester, the mens basket- - ball team has reached major - milestones such as Coach Hunters 600th win, and Ke- aton Cole breaking the single season three-point field goal record, Overcoming a challenge this year as a young team, the team rebounded and sur- : prised fans as they slowly climbed to the SoCon sam nament. Tt took us so long to fi- nally find ourselves as a team. We were up and down for about two-thirds of the year, Hunter said. But we really came together and gained confidence and we became a very good basket- ball team at the end of the year. This seasons seniors were Sam Smithson and captains Keaton Cole. and Harouna Motombo. They did a great job of leading our team, Hunter said. Our coaching staff re- ally enjoyed working with this basketball team. Especially for a team of predominately freshmen and sophomores, Hunter notes SPORT SFPEAT URES Mens basketball shocks everyone, reaches SoCon Championship PHOT TOBY MARS HASKETY Catamount fans packed the U.S. Cellular Center in, midi hee hes mens basketball team vied for a SoCon Championship. the chemistry of the team was impressive as they dem- onstrated through the non- conference schedule. Al- though close games were lost- in January, the team pulled together and grabbed the at- tention of both the media and Catamount fans. Senior Keaton Cole said he was pleased with the end of the season. Tm happy, but not satis- an end, Hunter said, fied, he said. At the same time, Im still proud to be a part of this team. As the season comes to The basketball program has es- tablished itself as unselfish and shows that they can play hard. consistently. Next season, three seniors will have graduated and re- turning players along with incoming freshmen recruits hope to fill their legacies on - and off the court. Anytime you lose a four-year player, you'll miss them, but it means other guys get the opportunity to Hep up, Hunter said. Looking at next season, Hunter believes the other players will gain more con- - fidence and new additions to the team will be bigger and more talented.

We are making steps in the right direction. Though Middleton felt the team improved on all, areas of the game, she felt they became better shoot- ers. _. We worked hard on our shooting skills and we have seen the: results, J think we became a much better shoot- ing team, Middleton said. Co provement on on defense, here We: ew a lot oh -is room for. more ee ment.

Aside from the teams ups and down, they had to deal with the injury of se- nior forward Caitlin Holli- field who battled injuries all season long.

Menendez, who led the team in scoring with 12.2 points per game, was also forward as well. such as 2 _ Diamond Hunnicutt, Alex year. Our system doesnt change, but the new team will have to establish an identity, Hunter said. Although the new team must start over, with devel- oping chemistry, returning players Trey Sumler, Tawas- ki King, Preston Ross, James Sinclair, Kenneth Hall and Ishmael Hollis will hope- fully bring some skill and previous experience to next seasons court. Overall, the mens bas- ketball team broke through tough barriers this season and reached the SoCon Championship game. Al- though the championship was lost in a double overtime game, Hunter stays positive with the outcome. You're always disap- pointed when you get that close to a major goal and dont accomplish it, but Im proud of how our guys turned our: season around, especially the last weekend in the tournament, Hunter said. As for the graduating captains of. the team, Cole and Mutombo remain proud Catamounts and are proud of their teams effort on the court. : We did more than just lose that game, Cole said. We did something posi- tive for, the community and brought back the pride to be a Catamount for both the stu- dents and-the alumni. the second best three point shooter in the conference, a _ : ski Middleton said, She woueg ces) hard at. nior: s, yeat.

Bobbi Baker James a Western Carolina University celebrity alumnus Caleb Gray, Copy Editor : t Western Carolina Univer- sity has always produced ed- ucated and talented students like Bobbi Baker James, graduate of WCU and Jul- liard and actor. James ended her high school career with the idea that she would want to be a * journalist, but she found that after a workshop that she was _ not up to the task. However, while broadcast journalism was not in her future she said that she knew she still want- ed to be on camera, and act- - ing was the next best thing. ~ So, she came to WCU and declared theater as her ma- jor and performed in many school plays despite never ~ being in a play before in her life. James also participated ina study abroad program at : the Oxford School in London * for further study of drama. After graduating from : Western Carolina in Decem- ber 2001, James decided ~to go and audition for The ~ Julliard School for drama. . She got the idea from a peer She met in London who left ~ Cincinnati to go to Julliard, which is another four-year school. James said she felt like she had a very strong ~ foundation with the theater PHOTO BY MARK HASKETT Bobbi Baker James poses with Chancellor David O. Belcher|and his wife Susan during a recent visit to Wesetern Carolina University. ~ program from WCU, but she wanted a more intense study of the art. While auditioning for Jul- liard, James noticed that ev- - eryone at the audition, about 100 people, were nervously practicing, shaking and pray- ing. She. said she did not feel nervous, Because I was on stage so much at Western, I 5 was very comfortable with auditioning. I was very com- fortable being in front of ' people. ~ Her confidence and talent paid off when a callback list with only five names had her name on it. She said that The Julliard School sees about 1,000 auditions but only ac- cepts about 18 to 20 people * church are not different but a year. James was the first drama student from Julliard to grad- uate. with honors because of her dissertation about the parallels between the black church and the theater. Tt was very important to. me to make it known that urban culture and the black actually inform one another. A few months after grad- uating from Julliard, James married and had a job work- ing with Tyler Perry on his show House of Payne playing a spunky, female barber named Kiki. She said that originally the part was for a maximum of eight epi- * sodes. However, because of the chemistry between her _ and the other characters, they continued to write parts for her for the three seasons. One day while on set, James said that she was hay~ ing a great day and was on top of her acting game. She said Tyler Perry stopped the entire scene and asked her, Who are you? Where are you from? What are you do- ing? He was so impressed by her that day that he of- fered her a part in-his movie Madea Goes to Jail in front of the entire cast. James is currently work~ ing on a small independent film with a well-known R&B singer to offer actors who are waiting for the right part an opportunity. She said she loves the writing and creative side to her field. When asked if she would - give up acting and pursue writing, she said, I cant see ' me not being on stage. My first love is acting; thats who Iam. But, now I have found a way to have writing and acting co-existing together, and I hope I can kep that re- lationship going. : She is also a mother of a two-year-old son and said that being a mother and a wife are very important. ! one team thas four nm freshmen coming in next Hn
