Cullowhee, N.C. - Senior Vance Chavis has been selected as this season's "Leggett Legacy" player by the Catamount baseball coaching staff.

Chavis will wear the No. 7 jersey during the 2012 season which was made famous at WCU by former coaching great, Jack Leggett. To earn the "Leggett No. 7 Legacy," a "player must have a passion for the game of baseball; show total intensity daily; do more with less; use adversity as preparation for greatness; and be committed to the ideals of T.E.A.M. by displaying: T-Toughness, E-Effort, A-Approach to find a way to M-Make it Happen".

"Vance's work ethic is unmatched. He has persevered through several injuries and a subsequent surgery during his career at Western Carolina. We have named him one of our team captains going into the 2012 season and it is an honor to bestow upon him the `Leggett No. 7' for this year," said Coach Moranda.
