Many current students at Western Carolina will not be familiar with the name Michael Cottrell.
Michael is one of the top basketball players to ever come out of Jackson County and the now-defunct Cullowhee High School. How many of those students know about Cullowhee High School?
Michael scored 2,503 points from 1984-87 for CHS, prior to his playing career at Western Carolina, and is now the athletic director and boys basketball coach at Hayesville High School, and is his son's basketball coach. Zach Cottrell is his son.
Zach is a sophomore at Hayesville (Class: 2016), and the 6’4", 185 pound shooting guard is the proud owner of a basketball scholarship offer from Western Carolina. It's his first offer in his young high school career, but many more offers are sure to come as his graduation approaches in two years.
Zach is one of the best shooters in North Carolina, has advanced ball handling and passing skills and is an Honors student, a combination that will put this young man in high demand as the recruiting battle for his services begins.
Good Luck Catamounts!!!
