Williams is money. Cat seniors go out in style …
CULLOWHEE –– Catamount senior hoops standouts, Mike Williams and Richie Gordon, put in a masterclass performance on Saturday afternoon at the Ramsey Center, as WCU clinched a share of the Southern Conference’s northern division title.
It was my first time seeing the Cats play and the last time Williams and Gordon will play a regular season game in Cullowhee. I was left with a bittersweet taste in my mouth after the decisive 70-62 victory over Bobby Cremins’ league-leading College of Charleston. The Cats went 12-1 at home this year, largely on the backs of their senior standouts. The game made me a fan, particularly of Williams, who will leave a tremendous void behind when he moves on after the season, and I wish I had seen more games.
Jaspers Drop Rubber Match at Western Carolina
RIVERDALE, N.Y. - Catamounts' freshman Luke Gragg delivered a walk-off RBI single to send Western Carolina (5-2) to a 9-8 victory over the Manhattan baseball team on Sunday in Cullowhee, N.C. Jaspers' senior Austin Sheffield and sophomore Anthony Vega blasted their first home runs of the season, while sophomore shortstop Nick Camastro went 4-for-5 from the plate and scored two runs as Manhattan dropped the rubber match with the Catamounts.

Senior Richie Gordon scored 16 points and grabbed 14 rebounds, and teammate Mike Williams had 18 points for the Catamounts (17-14, 12-6).

As some of you may know, I was ill late last week and unable to play over the weekend. Although it was disappointing personally to not be able pitch, I was still able to enjoy watching my teammates perform well during the sweep of Morehead State. I was excited our team got the season off on the right foot, especially for all of the freshmen during their first weekend of collegiate baseball. Freshman Aaron Attaway hitting a home run in his first career at-bat and Jordan Smith throwing five shut-out innings in his first career start are both very memorable freshmen moments over the weekend.
Junior Ross Heffely's performance over the weekend was also very impressive as he garnered Southern Conference player of the week honors, not surprising to the rest of us however as the "little guy" had been tearing the cover off the ball for the last few weeks of practice. Overall, we were firing on all cylinders on both sides of the ball for most of the weekend.
Another highlight of the weekend was Saturday night's "Celebration of Catamount Baseball," an opportunity for the program to honor the past, recognize the present and give a peek in to the future. It was great to see all of the Catamount greats in attendance as well as some of my former teammates.
The keynote speaker, former Catamount coaching legend Jack Leggett, was very inspiring and entertaining while giving a great perspective on what it means to be a Catamount. I had the opportunity to share dinner with Dave Steed of Lowe's and his family as all of the players were split amongst the tables at the event. It was nice to be able to interact with and thank someone who was such an important part of the recent renovation of the stadium.
A very special thank you goes out to Director of Baseball Operations Justin Crawley who put tons of time and effort in to planning this event.
So Catamount fans, come on out once again this weekend to watch us take on the Manhattan Jaspers at the friendly confines of Childress Field at Hennon Stadium.
