The Western Carolina Media Relations Office will assist media personnel with interview requests of WCU student-athletes, coaches or administrators. To arrange interviews, please contact Daniel Hooker at least 24 hours in advance. Head Coach Bobby Moranda will be available for interviews prior to or following each practice. With prior notice, student-athletes will be available for interviews at that time as well. Unless special permission is granted well in advance, no interviews of student-athletes or coaches will be conducted on game days until a 10-minute cooling off period after the contest. Media members may attend practices after obtaining clearance through the media relations office. Media members are asked to refrain from contacting student-athletes at their home or residence halls; student-athletes’ phone numbers will not be released by the WCU Department of Athletics. Out-of-town media may set up phone interviews. Head Coach Bobby Moranda may be reached weekday mornings, however, it is asked that a specific interview time be scheduled.

WORKING CREDENTIALS: Newsprint and electronic media representatives planning to cover a baseball game at Western Carolina University are asked to request in written form (E-mail or FAX) working credentials from WCU’s Media Relations Office. Season passes will be issued to those who cover the Catamounts on a permanent basis. Press passes will be assigned by priority to WCU beat writers, beat writers of the opponents, metropolitan media filing for deadline and specialty publications. If time permits, credentials will be mailed. If not, credentials can be picked up on game day (two hours prior to first pitch) at the Hennon Stadium ticket booth. Credentials will be issued only to those attending the game in a working capacity. Spouses, dates, children and other nonworkers will NOT be permitted in the press box.

PHOTOGRAPHERS: Credentials for photographers will be issued on a first-come, first-serve basis with agencies covering the participating schools on a regular basis receiving priority. Each photographer must pick up a photo pass prior to the game. Photographers will shoot from designated areas. Photographers wishing to take field-level photos must do so along the fences beyond the dugouts towards the outfield.

VISITING RADIO BROADCASTS: The visiting radio station or network (limited to one crew only as designated through the visiting team’s sports information office) is asked to request credentials through Western Carolina’s Media Relations office. A B-1 dialtone line will be provided at no charge to all Southern Conference opponents and to others who wish to enter into a reciprocal agreement with WCU. Otherwise, the lines are available to visiting radio crews on a pro rata basis. Any additional special broadcast lines, such as ISDN, can be ordered through Frontier Communications.

Fight on! You Catamounts, Fight for purple and gold. Fight on to victory, True warriors bold. Wave the royal banner high, And let it fill the Western sky. So, fight on! you Catamounts, Fight to vic-to-ry! Western, Western, Go-Western! Go—Cats! Fight on! You Catamounts, Fight for purple and gold. Fight on to victory, True warriors bold. Wave the royal banner high, And let it fill the Western sky. So, fight on! you Catamounts, Fight to vic-to-ry!

Hail to thee, our Alma Mater Faithful, kind, and true; Every son and every daughter Offers praise to you. - Chorus Hail to the dearest spot of all; Hail to WCU! Light and life and fond devotion All to thee are due. Purple robes and colors golden, Streaming everywhere, Swell our hearts with pride for olden Days and friendships dear. - Chorus Under shade trees’ friendly bowers, Voices, ever gay, Mingles with breath of flowers And the song birds’ lay. - Chorus Shout aloud with one loud chorus, Voices clear and true, Lifted high in praise and honor, All for WCU! - Chorus -

Western Carolina Code of Fan Conduct It is the policy of Western Carolina University that all Fans at athletic sporting events must maintain the highest degree of credibility and decorum possible. All fans must make every attempt to conduct themselves in a manner as not to embarrass the institutions by their actions. Behavior by fans that does not meet this standard and which has the potential of harming the reputation of the institution or any of its units is prohibited. Good sportsmanship must be an integral part of every sport sponsored by WCU. The ethical environment of the university must assert and reflect primacy of human dignity, must encourage growth and achievement, and must insist on respect in all interpersonal relations. WCU students and fans must be held accountable for their use of profane and vulgar language, banners, posters, signs, flags, treatment of opponents, and treatment of officials. In respect to NCAA policies, WCU is held accountable for the actions of its fans.

INTERCOLLEGIATE ATHLETICS ROLE AN D MISSION The Department of Athletics at Western Carolina University is an integral program of the institution and exists solely to complement the central University mission of teaching and learning. The University seeks to create a community of scholarship in which the activities of its members are consistent with the highest standards of knowledge and practice in their disciplines. The athletics program reflects this commitment to highest standards and shares the responsibility of achieving the goals of the University. The activities of the athletics program provide an environment in which student, coaches, faculty, staff and administrators jointly assume the responsibility for the success on and off the field of play. The athletics program embraces the concept that student-athletes are first and foremost students — possessing academic goals, personal interests, and vocational ambitions not unlike those of any other student. The athletics program complements other University programs by enhancing the educational, social, career and athletic opportunities of the students who participate in athletics. This environment also fosters a commitment to high standards of personal and professional conduct by all members of the athletic community manifested in the highest level of sportsmanship. Western Carolina University is committed to ensuring equitable participation and treatment of men and women of all races and ethnic origins. The athletics program actively promotes an environment in which fair and equitable distribution of athletic opportunities, benefits, and resources are available to all athletics program participants, and in which any person is free from discrimination. The athletics program provides significant contributions to the University by enhancing loyalty to the alma mater, strengthening the pride and enthusiasm of alumni, fostering a strong sense of community, and serving as a positive public relations tool for the University.

Southern Conference Code of Spectator Conduct Southern Conference teams shall be supported with enthusiasm and dedication, for strong spectator support is a vital part of the experience of college competition. We expect good sportsmanship from players and coaches. They have a right to expect the same from spectators. Therefore, we urge Southern Conference students, alumni and friends to cheer their teams to victory while upholding those ideals our colleges and universities have nurtured during the long history of the Southern Conference. Our spectators should be courteous and judicious in choice of expression, and should exhibit good manners and kindness to all others. The scoreboard will reflect the quality of the teams in competitions while the kind of support given by the spectators will reveal the character of Southern Conference fans.

INTERCOLLEGIATE ATHLETICS V ISION Western Carolina University Athletics’ vision is to be the best place to be a student-athlete in the Southern Conference The first question that this statement causes to surface is, “What does ‘best place’ mean?” For the Athletics Department (Athletics), it means all of the following: • ACADEMICS – Athletics will become the number one program among the public institutions in The Southern Conference (SoCon) for graduation rates for its student-athletes.

2012 CATAMOUNT BASEBALL


11-TIME SOUTHERN CONFERENCE BASEBALL REGULAR SEASON CHAMPION  9-TIME SOUTHERN CONFERENCE BASEBALL TOURNAMENT CHAMPION 11 NCAA TOURNAMENT APPEARANCES: 1985  1986  1987  1988  1989  1992  1993  1994  1997  2003  2007

2012 SEASON PREVIEW POSITION PLAYER OVERVIEW – KEY LOSSES FROM 2011: Western Carolina lost four players who graced the starting lineup in at least 49 of the Catamounts’ 55 games a season ago. Outfielder Matt Johns, catcher/DH Stephen Notaro and third baseman Austin Schultz have all graduated off of last year’s team, with all-conference right-handed pitcher Matt Benedict also graduating out of the program. Combined, WCU lost 16 home runs – including six long balls apiece by Johns and Notaro – and 150 RBI. Additionally, four of the five had at least five stolen bases a year ago and combined for 56 of the Catamounts’ 90 bag thefts a season ago. 2012 WESTERN CAROLINA OVERVIEW: Finding the right mixture for success will be the key for Western Carolina and head coach Bobby Moranda. A youthful but surprisingly experienced team in the field and at the plate is combined with a pitching staff that struggled a season ago and lost several key ingredients. An influx of talented young arms could make 2012 one to remember in Cullowhee. “Throughout the off-season and early season practices, we have been focused on improving upon what was a disappointing year last season,” said Moranda. “The guys have put in long hours and a lot of hard work to get better both on the field, in the weight room and in the classroom. Our battle cry this year is ‘team’ – doing your job and fulfilling your role to help the team and the program improve.” Western Carolina returns six of its eight position players from a year ago, but just one weekend starting pitcher. Offensively, the squad returns 22 of its 38 home runs from a season ago, and 55-percent of the team’s run production with 184 of the 337 RBI in 2011. On the base paths, the Catamounts will have to replace 56 stolen bases from last year’s fleet-footed squad. Combined, the WCU pitching staff returns just 12 of the 23 victories on the hill and only 48-percent of all innings pitched from last season (241.1 of 501 innings). “Our team is comprised of guys that have been role players or guys in the shadows the past few seasons and now is the time for them to come to the forefront and step-up – and I know that they are ready,” added Moranda. Preseason prognostications for the Catamounts have pegged the Catamounts in the middle of the pack in the Southern Conference including sixth by the league’s head coaches and seventh by the voting members of the SoCon Sports Media Association. But some pundits are slow to count WCU out of the SoCon mix in 2012 as the Catamounts have been called a “darkhorse” in the conference race by several bloggers. POSITION PREVIEW – CATCHERS: Three players enter the season donning the catching gear for the Catamounts, led by sophomore back stop Adam Martin (pictured below). Coming off a solid season that saw the freshman hit just below the .300 threshold with 13 extra base hits and 24 RBI, Martin factors in as the starting catcher. The Marietta, Ga., native started behind the dish in 27 of the 40 games in which he saw action as a rookie in 2011. During the summer months, Martin took his talents to the Last Frontier, playing the Alaskan Summer League, claiming the league’s homerun derby championship. He parlayed that into fall practice with nine home runs to end the calendar year 2011, and has pushed that total into double digits through early spring practices in Cullowhee.

Said Moranda of his second-year catcher, “Adam Martin has improved in so many areas including his throwing, hitting and maturity levels. He gained invaluable experience through his play in Alaska and came back to school in a great mindset. He has gotten bigger and stronger and I look for him to have a very solid season for us.” Martin will be joined by returning classmate Luke Gragg, who has impressed the coaches with his improvements behind the plate from a year ago, and freshman Connor Andrus (Winston-Salem, N.C.) figuring to factor into playing time this season. Gragg split time as a pinch and designated hitter, with limited playing time in the outfield for WCU as a rookie, hitting .318 with 27 hits including eight for extra bases in 85 at bats. “Connor has become a Division I catcher in his short time here in Cullowhee,” said Moranda. “The game has really slowed down for him, and he’s doing better at the plate.” POSITION PREVIEW – INFIELDERS: Western Carolina returns three-quarters of its solid infield – and should be the strength of the squad as it enters the 2012 season. WCU is anchored by preseason All-Southern Conference selections Ross Heffley and Aaron Attaway (both pictured above) up the middle, and one of the most dependable defensive first basemen in the league in Tyler White. Add in freshman third baseman Bradley Strong (Richlands, Va.) – who was named Player of the Year in Virginia after hitting a career-best .524 last year – defensively the Catamounts appear among the tops in the region. “Our infield defense is the strength of our program going into the season. We’re not extremely deep, but we are very solid,” said Moranda. Heffley, the sure-handed second baseman, has been steady at the plate for WCU over the past three seasons, pacing both the team and the SoCon with a .419 average a year ago. A preseason All-America selection, the Snellville, Ga., native boasts a .969 career fielding percentage and is on pace to shatter numerous WCU records including career base hits, entering his final season for the Purple & Gold with 274 hits – just 62 shy of matching Barrett Shaft’s school-record of 336 set from 2005-08. All told, Heffley is a career .390 hitter entering his final season with 81 extra base hits including 51 doubles – 19 shy of all-time leader Rod Goldston (70 doubles from 2000-03), four triples and 26 home runs. Equally as solid at first is junior Tyler White, who erases many arrant throws on the rightside corner with his abilities with the glove. Offensively, the Forest City, N.C., native found his groove at the end of the season, raising his collective batting average nearly 70 points the second half of the year – something he carried into fall practice in 2011, hitting .490 during the off-season workouts with 13 extra base hits. He also returns as WCU’s top stealing threat, swiping a returning-best 10-of-12 a season ago. Attaway started all 55 games a year ago as a true freshman – the only Catamount to do so during the 2011 season. With a .293 batting average, 10 extra base hits and nine stolen bases – second among all returning players, the Morganton, N.C., product was a second team all-conference selection in the preseason. Combined, the trio of Attaway, Heffley and White accounted for 29 of WCU’s 54 double plays a season ago. Attaway was a part of 31 twin killings while Heffley helped turn two a total of 30 times. Adding depth for the Catamounts will be freshman utility player Jacob Hoyle (Hickory, N.C.) and classmate Austin Neary (Baltimore, Md.), who earned Gatorade Player of the Year accolades in Maryland as a high school senior.

11-TIME SOUTHERN CONFERENCE BASEBALL REGULAR SEASON CHAMPION

MORANDA BESTOWS LEGGETT LEGACY NUMBER 7 ON VANCE CHAVIS Western Carolina fifth-year senior Vance Chavis was selected as the 2012 “Leggett Legacy” player as chosen by head coach Bobby Moranda and the Catamount baseball coaching staff. Chavis, a left-handed pitcher, will wear the No. 7 jersey during the 2012 season which was made famous at WCU by former coaching great, Jack Leggett. The annual program was introduced by Moranda at last year’s “Celebration of Catamount Baseball” banquet held on campus in conjunction with the 2011 opening weekend. The WCU coaching staff selects one player each year that is committed to keeping with the principles and integrity established by the former Catamount skipper during his tenure. “Among the many great past individuals that have influenced the success and the prestige of Western Carolina baseball, Jack Leggett stands out above most. Each season, we will name one player who exemplifies what it is to be a Catamount baseball player and that is deserving wear the No. 7 jersey to honor the foundation laid by Jack,” Moranda said. To earn the honor of the “Leggett No. 7 Legacy,” a Catamount baseball 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. Last year, senior catcher Stephen Notaro wore the honorary jersey No. 7 as the first honoree in the Leggett Legacy. Notaro hit .335 overall on the year and finished second to Catamount teammate Ross Heffley in the SoCon in hitting in league games only a season ago at .394 with six home runs and four doubles with 28 RBI. Chavis enters his final season with a 3-4 career record with 34 career appearances including 13 starts on the mound for the Catamounts. He has recorded 50 strikeouts through his 62 career innings pitched. The Laurinburg, N.C., native appeared in two games as a true freshman, tossing four innings in his first collegiate start against Hartford but left the game early after re-aggravating an elbow injury. The ailment sidelined him the remainder of his freshman season. He spent the majority of his redshirt freshman season in 2009 rehabbing his throwing elbow. Chavis returned to the mound in 2010, pitching 48.2 innings with 10 starts including a complete-game, four-hitter in the one-run, 5-4, home win over Eastern Kentucky on Feb. 28, 2010. Last season, the south paw made 11 appearances on the hill with a pair of starts. “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 Moranda. Leggett, who is entering his 19th season on the bench with the Clemson Tigers, spent nine seasons in the dugout in Cullowhee, amassing a program-best 302 career victories from 1983 through 1991. He guided the Catamounts to 10 combined Southern Conference championships and five NCAA tournament appearances. He also helped shape the future of WCU baseball by recruiting and coaching his three successors in Keith LeClair, Rodney Hennon and Todd Raleigh. Leggett’s three protégés combined to win 567 games and a combined eight SoCon titles in 15 seasons, while also capturing five SoCon Coach of the Year honors.

POSITION PREVIEW – OUTFIELDERS: Patrolling the outfield for Moranda will be a youthful group of Catamounts. In the same breath, though, one could comment on the amount of experience the rookies from 2011 gained in their first collegiate season. Only one upperclassman in junior Bryant Noteboom with the remainder of the corps including four sophomores and two freshmen make up WCU’s outfield entering 2012. Combined, WCU’s five returning outfielders saw action in at least 25 games – nearly half of the schedule – a year ago. “We have a really good mixture of speed and size in our outfield. We are very youthful at every outfield position – but had several players gain valuable playing experience a season ago as freshmen that will be starting as sophomores,” said Moranda.

POSITION PREVIEW – PITCHERS: Entering the 2012 season, Western Carolina head coach Bobby Moranda has assumed the role of pitching coach – a position he held as an assistant coach previously in his career. He inherits a total of 16 pitchers including nine returning and seven new arms. Statistically, the pitching staff has the most experience with 10 upper classmen including seven juniors and three seniors – but in terms of innings pitched, the squad is youthful and inexperienced. “We’ve got a staff of guys who have mostly been role players or behind the scenes guys over the past couple of seasons. But, they are guys that have a strong desire to step-up and do something significant this year as go-to guys,” said Moranda. “Keying our success will be throwing strikes – pitchers executing within the strike zone – and limiting the number of freebies in walks and hit batters. We have to execute to allow our defense to play behind us.” “There’s a lot of guys who are going to get opportunities who’ve had limited roles in the past. There are some new guys who are going to get huge roles right off the bat. We’ve got to have a lot of guys step up,” he added. WCU’s experience factor was dealt a blow during the fall practices as returning junior RHP Taylor Sandefur suffered a shoulder injury that is expected to keep him sidelined through the 2012 season. Leading among the returning pitchers who saw the most action a season ago is sophomore RHP Jordan Smith, who was thrust into a weekend starting role a year ago. He finished with a team-high six victories including a pair of complete game shutout victories – the most for a Catamount freshman pitcher since 1999.

The staff features three seniors, all of which hope to take a bigger role in their final season. Fifth-year left-handed senior Vance Chavis – the recipient of the “Leggett No. 7 Legacy” this year – is joined by righties Andrew Blackwell and Darron Dotson, all expected to come out of the bullpen, but did combine for three starts in 2011. Among the seven juniors are five returning pitchers Sandefur, Adam Curtis, Preston Hatcher, Jeremy Sluder and Morgan McKinney who combined for 81 appearances and 16 starts. Junior transfers Jon Nadale (Petaoma, Calif.) and Hunter Brister (Pleasant Grove, Ala.) will be called upon to add experience to the staff. Highly touted newcomers Jeremy Null (Claremont, N.C.) – who was drafted in the 37th round of the Major League Baseball First-year Player Draft by Seattle last year – and Tyler Powell (Charlotte, N.C.) headline four freshman arms. Null is expected to be a weekend starter for WCU along side Smith and McKinney. Crafty lefty William Frazier (Charlotte, N.C.) and right-hander Danny Schneider (Roswell, Ga.) will be counted upon to add depth to the pitching staff for Moranda and the Catamounts.

Sophomores Julian Ridings and Dykota Spiess are the top two players in terms of career starts in the Catamount outfield. Ridings – an opening day starter in centerfield a year ago – made 18 appearances in the starting lineup a season ago including 15 in center field alone. Spiess started 13 games in left field, with Cody Jones (pictured at left) and Luke Gragg starting a combined 13 games in 2011. Adding depth to the outfield will be a pair of freshmen in two-sport standout, Garrett Brown (Asheville, N.C.), and Dale Urquhart (Hope Mills, N.C.). Brown, who also plays football at Western Carolina, joined the team for limited time in the fall with the bulk of his baseball exposure coming this spring. He will split time between the two squads this season with spring football practice running from March 12 through April 14. Urquhart hit .281 during the fall practice season, legging out six extra base hits. CATAMOUNTSPORTS.COM

HEAD COACH

Bobby MORANDA

5th Season – Overall Record of 124-102-2 at WCU (Eastern Kentucky, 1986)

Bobby Moranda was officially introduced as the 10th different head baseball coach at Western Carolina on July 19, 2007. The former Georgia Tech associate head coach brought over 23 years of coaching experience – 18 of which comes from schools in the Atlantic Coast Conference – to WCU. In four seasons at Western Carolina, Moranda has already posted signature victories over fourth-ranked Georgia Tech in the Yellow Jackets first-ever trip to Cullowhee, as well as over 24th-ranked Southern California (USC) on the program’s first-ever trip to California. WCU has also secured road wins over Clemson, Georgia and Tennessee, and advanced to the Southern Conference tournament championship game during the 2010 season. He also has a signature win in the longest game in Southern Conference history as WCU outlasted and upset the top-seeded Elon Phoenix in the opening round of the 2011 SoCon Baseball Championship at Riley Park in Charleston, S.C. During his first season at WCU, Moranda recruited and coached current Catamount second baseman Ross Heffley, who was the consensus Southern Conference Freshman of the Year in 2009 and was also a Louisville Slugger Freshman All-America selection. He also had Brent Greer named All-SoCon, with four players drafted out of WCU in the Major League Draft in ‘09. Heffley went on to become a first-team All-America selection at second base at the conclusion of the 2011 season. Since Moranda has been in Cullowhee, nine players on roster have been drafted by MLB squads including Kyle Deese (23rd Round, St. Louis Cardinals) and Matt Benedict (30th Round, Pittsburgh Pirates) following the 2011 season. Two recruits for the 2011 season – right-handed pitchers Jeremy Null and Tyler Powell – were also drafted in ‘11, both opting to come to WCU. Moranda came to Cullowhee after having spent six seasons as the associate head coach at Georgia Tech where he also served a vital role in recruiting and worked extensively with the pitching staff. Prior to his stint with the Yellow Jackets, he spent six years in a similar role at Wake Forest (1996-2001) and was an assistant coach at both Virginia (1990-95) and his alma mater, Eastern Kentucky (1987-89). Overall, Moranda has been a part of 10 conference championships and 12 NCAA Tournament appearances as either a player or a coach. Prior to WCU, a combined 19 players that Moranda either recruited or coached have gone on to careers in the Major Leagues. Twelve pitchers have been selected through the top five rounds alone of the Major League Baseball Draft under the tutelage of Moranda. He also helped recruit and coach Matt Wieters, the fifth pick of the 2007 MLB Draft out of Georgia Tech. In all, Moranda has coached over 65 players who have been selected in the baseball draft, 22 of which were undrafted out of high school. “I am extremely excited to be the head baseball coach at Western Carolina,” said Moranda after being introduced to the WCU family. “This is an awesome opportunity. Catamount baseball has a strong tradition, and I am humbled and honored to now be a part of it. I look forward to embracing and continuing that tradition while raising the bar and elevating our baseball program.”

Coaching QUICK FACTS BOBBY MORANDA FULL NAME: Robert Steven Moranda BIRTHDATE: August 18, 1964 EDUCATION: Bachelor’s degree in Broadcast Management with a minor in Marketing from Eastern Kentucky in 1986; Master’s degree in Recreation Administration from Eastern Kentucky in 1989. PLAYING EXPERIENCE: Harper Community College, in Palatine, Ill. (1983-84); Eastern Kentucky University, in Richmond, Ky. (1985-86)

legiate baseball experts and professional scouts. His recruiting efforts at Wake Forest resulted in six Freshman All-Americans, including the 2001 National Freshman of the Year, the 2003 ACC Player of the Year, and the first collegiate draft pick in 2003.

COACHING EXPERIENCE: Assistant Coach at Eastern Kentucky (1987-98) Head Assistant Coach / Recruiting Coordinator at Virginia (1990-95)

In 1998 his Demon Deacon pitching staff attracted national attention by throwing five complete games in the six-game ACC tournament. The feat helped Wake Forest win the 1998 ACC Championship and advance to the NCAA South I Regional, the Deacons’ first NCAA appearance in 21 years. Moranda and the Deacons followed that 1998 performance with a five game sweep through the 1999 ACC Tournament, a trip to the NCAA Super Regional and a top-10 national ranking.

Associate Head Coach / Recruiting Coordinator at Wake Forest (1996-2001) Associate Head Coach at Georgia Tech (2002-2007) Head Coach at Western Carolina (2008-present) During his six seasons at Georgia Tech, Moranda helped guide the Yellow Jackets to four Top 10 finishes, four Super Regional appearances, three ACC titles and a pair of appearances in the NCAA College World Series in Omaha. In 2002, Georgia Tech won a school-record 52 games en route to the CWS thanks in part to a pitching staff which set school records for “Fewest Walks per Nine Innings” (2.54 per 9 IP) and best “Walk to Strikeout” ratio (2.90 to 1) while boasting the best team earned run average since 1994 (4.06) and recorded its most shutouts (6) since 1997. He was also a part of an ACC record 25-straight conference victories with the Jackets. Amidst the run to the College World Series, Moranda’s work with the Georgia Tech pitching staff was more evident than ever as the starting rotation of Kyle Bakker, Chris Goodman and Brian Burks combined for a 5-0 record and 0.77 ERA in NCAA regional play, while the entire staff combined for a 2.40 ERA and held opponents to a .208 batting average. A year later, in 2003, Moranda’s pitching staff helped Tech win the ACC championship by sweeping the first triple-header in conference history. The Yellow Jackets defeated North Carolina, Florida State and NC State on the final day of the tournament to capture the league title. Tech’s 2003 pitching staff again ranked as one of the better staffs in recent GT history. The Yellow Jackets allowed the fewest hits per nine innings in the last 10 years, while posting the second best ERA in that span.

In his six years at Wake Forest, Moranda consistently developed outstanding pitchers. Ten of his pitchers were selected in the Major League Baseball amateur draft, including six that advanced majors including current players David Bush with Milwaukee Brewers and Mike MacDougal of the Kansas City Royals. Five pitchers earned All-America honors, while his pitchers earned all-ACC accolades seven times in his last five years. His experience with top pitchers extends back to his days at the University of Virginia, where from 1990 to 1995 Moranda helped lay the groundwork as recruiting coordinator that led to the Cavaliers 1996 ACC Championship team. During his six years in Charlottesville as Virginia’s head assistant coach and recruiting coordinator, the Cavs produced more professional players than the program’s previous 100 years combined. Prior to Moranda’s arrival, Virginia had never produced a first-round draft pick or a first-team All-American. By 1996, however, the Cavaliers had two first round picks among 23 combined players drafted and two first-team All-Americans. Moranda’s star pupils and recruits were outfielder Brian Buchannan and pitcher Seth Greisinger. Buchannan has played with the San Diego Padres and Greisinger, who starred on the 1996 U.S. Olympic team, reached the Major Leagues in 1998 with the Detroit Tigers.

Prior to making the move to Georgia Tech in 2001, Moranda spent the previous six years at Wake Forest where he helped lead the Demon Deacons to three ACC Championships in his last four seasons. For his work, he was recognized by Baseball America magazine in January 2001 as one of the country’s “Rising Stars” in the college baseball coaching ranks.

As a player, Moranda was an All-Region performer at Harper Community College in Illinois and was part of back-to-back championship teams before accepting a scholarship to Eastern Kentucky. The native of Palatine, Ill., batted .307 with 20 home runs and 86 RBI in two seasons at EKU, helping the Colonels win two consecutive Ohio Valley Conference championships and a top-30 national ranking. The Colonels made two consecutive NCAA Regional appearances during Moranda’s playing career and were just two games away from advancing to Omaha for the College World Series in 1985.

After helping lay the groundwork for his first two seasons at Wake Forest as head assistant coach, Moranda helped the Demon Deacons to back-to-back ACC Championships in 1998 and 1999, and a third title in 2001. He helped build the Demon Deacon program into one of the best in the nation through his recruiting efforts and his on-field work with the Wake Forest pitching staff and defense. His pitchers tossed two no-hitters, the school’s first in 60 years.

After gaining his undergraduate degree in broadcast management, Moranda stayed at Eastern Kentucky as an assistant coach for three years while working toward his master’s degree in recreation administration, and EKU made another NCAA Regional appearance during his tenure. During that time, Moranda also coached an American Legion summer team in Palatine that featured Major League catcher Todd Hundley.

Moranda’s recruiting classes were annually ranked among the nation’s top classes, while his pitching staffs have attracted national attention from both col-

Moranda and his wife Pamela have been married for 18 years. The couple has two children, daughter Taylor Jade and son Breyson Kade.

11-TIME SOUTHERN CONFERENCE BASEBALL REGULAR SEASON CHAMPION

ALAN BECK Assistant Coach / Recruiting Coordinator 6th Season (Western Carolina, 2004) Western Carolina baseball alum Alan Beck returned to Cullowhee in mid-July, 2008 to jjoin Bobby Moranda’s staff working primarily with the Catamount hitters, as well as serving as the recruiting coordinator. It is the second-time that the Hudson, N.C., native has coached in Cullowhee. He was on staff as a graduate assistant for two seasons following his graduation from 2004 and ‘05. Beck returns to WCU after having served as the first-ever Director of Baseball Operations under former Catamount skipper, Todd Raleigh, at the University of Tennessee. His primary responsibilities at UT included managing all baseball camps, oversight of student managers, serving as an academic liaison and assistance with on-campus recruiting. Prior to joining the staff at UT, Beck spent the 2007 season as an assistant coach at Young Harris Junior College in Young Harris, Ga. While coaching hitters and infielders, Beck mentored a club that led all Georgia junior colleges in 10 different offensive statistical categories. The 2007 Mountain Lions won the Region XVII regular season and tournament titles, in addition to claiming the district championship. Beck’s lone season at YHC was highlighted by the school’s first all-time appearance in the Junior College World Series. Beck ended his four-year career as one of the most outstanding players in both Western Carolina and Southern Conference history. The three-time All-SoCon selection (including a pair of first-team honors) ranks on both the school and league career top-10 lists in several statistical categories. He currently ranks third in career runs (216), third in career RBI (222), third in career total bases (488), fifth in career hits (285), fifth in career doubles (60), sixth in career walks (132) and seventh in career home runs (45), while posting a career .341 batting average.

Those numbers additionally ranked on the SoCon all-time lists as he ended his career ranked fourth in RBIs, fifth in total bases, fifth in walks, fifth in runs scored, eighth in hits, eighth in doubles, eighth in at bats, ninth in home runs and 11th in games played (220). En route to winning SoCon Player of the Year honors in 2003, Beck led the SoCon in home runs (18), RBIs (71), runs scored (67) and walks (45), while ranking 30th in the NCAA in homers and tallying seven assists from left field. He was named to the TIAA/CREF Southern Conference All-Academic Team for Spring Sports, was a two-time Southern Conference Player of the Week honoree and was selected second team All-Atlantic Region by the American Baseball Coaches Association. Beck’s collegiate playing career included numerous other impressive achievements as well. As a junior, he ranked among the SoCon’s top 10 in nine of 12 offensive statistical categories. From his sophomore to junior seasons, he authored an impressive streak of reaching base safely (hit, walk or hit by pitch) in 65 consecutive games, and he reached base safely in 50 of 54 games played in 2002. He earned first-team All-SoCon acclaim in 2001 after ranking among the NCAA leaders in RBIs (16th with an average of 1.29 per game), walks (22nd with an average of 0.85 per game) and doubles (23rd with an average of 0.42 per game). He also ranked among the SoCon top five in nine offensive categories, leading the league in on-base percentage (.515) and walks. The Baltimore Orioles selected Beck in the 16th round (464th overall pick) of the 2003 MLB draft, and he played for the Bluefield Orioles and Class A shortseason Aberdeen IronBirds in 2003 before attending spring training in 2004. His professional career was cut short, however, after he suffered a severe wrist injury. It was following his injury that Beck returned to his alma mater in 2005 as a member of the Catamount coaching staff, working with the outfielders. He helped mentor outfielder Steven Strausbaugh to 2005 SoCon Freshman of the Year honors. The following year, Strausbaugh led the SoCon in home runs and RBIs and was tabbed first-team All-SoCon and was eventually drafted in the 37th round of the 2007 MLB Draft by the New York Yankees. In the summer of 2006, Beck served as manger of the Thomasville HiToms of the Coastal Plain League. Under his direction, the HiToms not only won a then franchise-record 33 regular-season games, but also the club’s first-ever league championship. The team finished with an impressive overall record of 37-23, leading the Coastal Plain League in hits, doubles, home runs and total bases. Beck completed his undergraduate degree in 2004, receiving his B.S. in Sport Management. He later attained his Master’s degree during his two-year coaching stint at WCU, earning an M.A. in Education in 2006. He was married to current Catamount cheerleading coach, Kim Cherry, of Denver, N.C., in mid-August of 2008. The couple had their first child – Easton James – in April of 2012.

(Western Carolina)

Scott Manshack was added to the 2012 Western Carolina coaching staff in February prior to the season as a volunteer assistant coach. Manshack, who was a four-year letterwinning pitcher at the University of North Carolina, will work alongside Moranda in mentoring the Catamount pitching staff. Manshack recorded 14 victories during his four-year collegiate career in Chapel Hill, making 51 appearances including 32 starts. He tossed 164 career innings, amassing 140 strikeouts in four seasons. He was a part of three North Carolina squads that competed in the NCAA tournament, playing in the Columbia (S.C.) Regional in 2002 and 2004, and winning the Starkville (Miss.) regional and advancing to Columbia Super Regional in 2003. His best collegiate season came as a sophomore in 2002 as he started 10 games with an equal number of relief appearances while compiling a perfect 7-0 overall record - just the 14th perfect season in UNC baseball history. He pitched a complete game, five-hit shutout against Elon on April 29, 2002, which at the time continued a string of 15-consecutive scoreless innings of work. During the fall prior to his senior season, Manshack garnered the squad’s “Top Gun” award from the Tar Heel coaching staff for the best overall pitcher during off-season practices. As a senior, he was a part of one of the deepest pitching staffs in the NCAA, moving to the bullpen from a previous weekend starting role. A native of Indian Trail, N.C., Manshack spent two summers in the collegiate wooden bat Coastal Plain League as a player, spending one summer in Asheboro and a second in Gastonia, earning a combined six victories on the hill with a pair of complete games. Manshack was a three-time, allconference selection out of Piedmont High in Monroe, N.C., and earned AllState accolades once. Tossing a pair of no hitters during his high school career, he was chosen to play in the North Carolina State Games three out of his four years and guided Piedmont High to a conference title in 1999. A 2004 graduate of North Carolina with a degree in communication studies, Manshack has worked the past seven years with State Farm Insurance. In 2006, he served as the junior varsity head baseball coach at Smoky Mountain High in Sylva, and was the varsity assistant coach in both 2007 and ‘08. Manshack and his wife, the former Amy Wolfe, have twin daughters, Abby and Haley.

Brandon Johnson joined the Catamount Baseball coaching staff during the fall of 2011 after concluding his four-year playing career under head coach Bobby Moranda in the spring of 2011. In his role as the undergraduate assistant, Johnson will work with the Catamount pitching staff on game-days in the bullpen. The younger brother of assistant coach Bruce Johnson, Brandon assumes the undergraduate role Bruce held for two seasons before taking over as the volunteer assistant at WCU. A four-year letterwinner, Johnson finished his ranked second in Western Carolina history for pitching appearances, taking the mound a combined 97 times ... The Morehead City, N.C., native recorded 19 career victories on the mound with 18 of those coming out of the bullpen to rank among the all-time best relievers in school history. Overall, his 19 wins ranks tied for 11th on the school ledger, adding four career saves. In his senior season, Johnson made 25 appearances out of the bullpen, tossing 44.1 innings with a 5-4 overall record with one save while boasting a careerbest 2.84 ERA. He finished the season ranked fifth in the SoCon with 21 games finished. The hard-throwing right-hander struck out 41 batters while limiting opponents to a career-low .215 batting average, allowing just seven extra base hits and recorded at least one out in all 25 appearances on the season with at least one strikeout in all but six outings. Johnson made a career-high 33 appearances as a junior with each one coming out of the bullpen as a primary set-up hurler and later as the closer for the WCU pitching staff. He ranked tied for first on the team with nine victories and two saves, posting a team-low 2.89 ERA. He finished the season with seven wins and two saves over his next 18 appearances, fanning 50 batters. Perhaps the best work of his junior season came in the 2010 Southern Conference Baseball Championship. Johnson picked up two wins out of the bullpen, throwing seven innings with a 1.29 ERA and six strikeouts in the league finale. He kept the College of Charleston off the board in four innings of relief work to allow the squad to rally from a 6-0 deficit, winning 7-6 in 12 innings. Again managed to shutdown Appalachian State in the tourney, only allowing one run as the Catamounts eliminated ASU, 7-6, in the semifinals. For his efforts, Johnson was named the relief pitcher on the Southern Conference All-Tournament team.

2011 WESTERN CAROLINA BASEBALL – SEASON IN REVIEW NOTES The 2011 season was a disappointing one for Western Carolina as the Catamounts finished with an overall record of 23-31-1 and 12-18 in league play marking the first final mark below .500 under head coach Bobby Moranda at WCU – and the Catamount’s first losing record since 2004 when the squad finished 28-31. The season opened with a three-game win streak as the Catamounts swept the Morehead State Eagles in Cullowhee and had ACC-foe, Wake Forest, on the ropes with a 1-0 lead in the ninth inning. However, three combined errors in the ninth and 10th innings led the Demon Deacons over WCU for the first loss of the year. Despite the loss in Winston-Salem and dropping the opening game of a three-game series to Manhattan, WCU managed to open the season 7-3. Southern Conference play got off to a rough start for the Catamounts including a 0-6 start after begin swept by both UNCG and Elon. The Catamounts rebounded to take 2-of3 from Davidson to get into the win column in league play. All told, WCU dropped six SoCon series on the year, scoring league victories over Davidson, Samford, Wofford before securing the sweep over The Citadel to end the regular season. It was the Catamounts first sweep of the Bulldogs since the 2008 season. WCU secured a spot in the annual Southern Conference Baseball Championship in Charleston, S.C., for the 11thstraight year, earning the eighth seed. The squad had a sense of “new life” of sorts with the NCAA Regional berth dangling out in front of them despite the up-hill climb as the lowest seed in the eight-team tournament and a first-round date with No. 1 seed Elon which had swept the Catamounts in Cullowhee during the regular season. Trailing the top-seeded Phoenix by two runs, WCU scored twice in the top of the eighth inning to set the stage for the longest game in league history which encompassed over six and a half hours. The Catamounts twice pulled ahead in the visitors half of an inning, scoring in the top of the 14th and 19th innings only to see Elon respond in the bottom to knot the game back up. The marathon culminated with a two-run home run by Ross Heffley as a part of a three-run rally in the top of the 20th inning as WCU pulled out the 10-7 victory. WCU first baseman Tyler White was 6-for-7 and recorded a total of 26 putouts during the Catamounts’ 20-inning victory, the longest game in the history of both schools and the Southern Conference. WCU was unable to capitalize on its opening-round victory as eventual champion, Georgia Southern, and College of Charleston defeated the Catamounts to end the 2011 campaign. Five Catamounts earned All-SoCon accolades from the league’s head coaches as the SoCon’s leading hitter, Ross Heffley and catcher Stephen Notaro both garnered first team honors with senior Austin Schultz picking up second team plaudits. First-year players Aaron Attaway and Adam Martin were both selected to the coaches’ 12-member AllFreshman team. When the media polling was released, Heffley, Notaro and Schultz were each again honored. With a .419 batting average in 2011, Heffley led the league by 29 points over his nearest competitor. He also paced the league with a .483 on-base percentage. Heffley was a two-time SoCon Player of the Week, bookending the season with weekly plaudits. The Snellville, Ga., native was also tabbed first team Louisville Slugger All-America by the Collegiate Baseball newspaper. He became just the 11th different Catamount to garner All-America honors and the first since outfielder Donovan Minero in 2001. Heffley is just the third WCU player 2012 CATAMOUNT BASEBALL

to pick up first team accolades all-time joining Jerry Gaines (1975) and Grant Brittain (1990). Notaro split time as the Catamounts’ designated hitter and behind the plate, ranking second on the squad with a .335 batting average. He had 16 extra base hits including legging out 10 doubles and belting six home runs. He also had a conference leading – school single-season record – eight sacrifice flies to help his 42 seasonal RBI (third). Notaro was additionally dubbed the SoCon Player of the Week after hitting .750 (9-for-12) with a pair of doubles and a home run in the home series against Wofford. Schultz garnered second team plaudits at third base for the Catamounts. Making the move from shortstop to third during the off-season, Schultz helped key eight double plays during the season while finishing with 40 putouts and 96 fielding assists. Starting 54 games, the Alpharetta, Ga., native hit .288 with 15 doubles, a triple and a home run. He led the team with 37 walks. Attaway and Martin landed on the All-Freshman team after their rookie campaigns. Attaway started every game at shortstop as a true freshman, finishing with a .293 batting average including eight doubles, a triple and a home run which came in his first collegiate at bat in February. The Morganton, N.C., native also stole nine bases on the season. In the field, he helped turn 31 double plays on the season, tallying 90 put outs and 151 assists. Martin, who was out of the lineup for two weeks due to a high ankle sprain in May, hit .291 on the season with 13 extra base hits including seven doubles, a triple and five home runs. The Marietta, Ga., native drove in 24 runs in his rookie campaign and enjoyed an 11-game hitting streak. As a team, the Catamounts finished with a SoCon-leading average of .302, collecting double-digit hits in 34 of the 55 games on the season. And although WCU ranked at the bottom of the league in overall ERA (5.78), the Catamount hurlers were third in the SoCon with 448 strikeouts including a league-best 167 strikeouts looking.

DR. DAVID O. BELCHER Western Carolina University Chancellor David O. Belcher, provost and vice chancellor for academic affairs at the University of Arkansas at Little Rock since 2003, was elected chancellor of Western Carolina University by the Board of Governors of the multi-campus University of North Carolina. UNC President Tom Ross placed Belcher’s name in nomination Friday, April 8, 2011, during a regular meeting of the board. Belcher, 53, assumed his new duties July 1, succeeding John W. Bardo, who stepped down after 16 years. In recommending Belcher to the Board of Governors, Ross said: “David Belcher brings to the task more than two decades of academic and leadership experience at highly respected public universities. At each step along the way, he has proven himself to be an energetic and effective leader who encourages strategic thinking, promotes collaboration and inclusiveness, and makes student success a university-wide responsibility. He has also earned a reputation for great integrity, sound decision-making, and a strong commitment to community engagement and outreach. I am convinced that Dr. Belcher has the right mix of experience, skills, and passion needed to take Western Carolina to the next level, and I am thrilled that he has agreed to join our leadership team.” A member of the University of Arkansas System, the University of Arkansas at Little Rock is a doctoral research university enrolling more than 13,000 students at the undergraduate, master’s, and doctoral levels. Its six colleges and UALR’s William H. Bowen School of Law include more than 100 programs of study. Like Western Carolina, UALR has experienced significant enrollment growth while increasing academic standards and has focused on meeting regional and state needs in education, health-related fields, and strategic areas of research and development. As provost and vice chancellor for academic affairs, Belcher was UALR’s chief academic officer. In that role, he was responsible for overseeing all academic programs, as well as providing leadership for the Offices of Research and Graduate Studies, Innovation and Commercialization, and Extended Programs; UALR’s Ottenheimer Library; student recruitment; the UALR Nanotechnology Center; the Sequoyah National Research Center; the Arkansas Studies Institute; and the Donaghey Scholars Program. A native of Barnwell, S.C., Belcher graduated from Furman University in 1979 with a degree in piano performance. After receiving a master’s degree (1981) in the field at the University of Michigan, he studied in Vienna, Austria, on a Rotary Foundation Graduate Fellowship before earning his doctorate (1989) at the University of Rochester’s Eastman School of Music. While a student at Eastman, he received the Jerald C. Graue Memorial Scholarship for excellence in musicological research.

Belcher began his academic career in 1988 as an assistant professor of music at Missouri State University. During his 15-year tenure at MSU, he rose steadily through the academic and administrative ranks. After serving as coordinator of keyboard studies in MSU’s Music Department (1989-92) and assistant dean of the College of Arts and Letters (1993), he was named dean of the College of Arts and Letters in 1994. He left Missouri in 2003 to join UALR as provost and vice chancellor for academic affairs. At UALR, Belcher was credited with leading strategic planning and emphasizing the campus’ institutional mission to be responsive to regional and state priorities. Under his leadership, the campus has launched seven new doctoral degree programs, created an Office of Innovation and Commercialization to capitalize on faculty research and promote economic development, implemented initiatives to improve student retention and graduation rates, earned designation as a Carnegie Community Engaged institution, and begun a thorough review of the undergraduate curriculum. Belcher also is a member of the leadership team for UALR’s first comprehensive development campaign, which reached its $75-million fundraising goal 1½ years ahead of schedule in summer 2010 and has now been extended to $100 million. Throughout his career, Belcher has appeared widely as a recitalist and chamber musician and been active in civic and community organizations. He currently serves on the boards of directors of the Arkansas Symphony Orchestra and the Winthrop Rockefeller Institute. A past chair of the Little Rock Arts and Culture Commission, he has previously led the boards of the Springfield (Missouri) Regional Opera and the Springfield Regional Arts Council and has held leadership positions with the National Conference of Governors’ Schools, Missouri Citizens for the Arts, the Missouri Alliance for Arts Education, and the Urban Districts Alliance. Voted 2004 Administrator of the Year by UALR students, he also received the 1999 Ozzie Award from the Springfield Regional Arts Council in recognition of his outstanding contributions to the arts. Belcher is married to Susan Brummell Belcher, who taught voice at UALR and co-chaired the UALR Music Department Recruitment Committee.

MR. RANDY EATON

Western Carolina University Director of Athletics Randy Eaton, former senior associate director of athletics at the University of Maryland, was named the director of athletics at Western Carolina University by Chancellor David O. Belcher on Wednesday, Dec. 14. Eaton, brings more than 20 years of athletics administration experience to the post. Eaton’s appointment followed a national search conducted by a 14-member committee working with the assistance of Todd Turner of Collegiate Sports Associates, a North Carolina-based executive search consulting firm. Eaton had been senior associate director of athletics at the University of Maryland and the athletics department’s chief financial officer since June 2008. He joined the Terrapins’ athletics program in 2003 as associate director in charge of business operations. At Maryland, he was the No. 2 administrator in the athletics department and oversaw a $60 million annual operating budget. He served as interim director in 2010, and recently assumed additional responsibility for new revenues, facilities and operations. He also has held positions at the University of Houston, Texas A&M University, East Tennessee State University, Ohio State University and the University of Texas at San Antonio, and with the Ohio Glory of World League Football. Belcher introduced Eaton to the news media, Catamount athletics fans and members of the campus community in a press conference in the in the Peele, Westmoreland Suhre, Hartshorn Hospitality Room of the Liston B. Ramsey Regional Activity Center. “When I talked with the members of search committee last month, I asked them to find someone who is a true leader - someone who has the capacity to hire, retain and mentor excellent coaches, assistant coaches and other athletics staff. I charged them with identifying a director of athletics candidate who shares Western Carolina University’s core values of excellence, student success and external focus. I am extremely pleased that the committee has found just that person in Randy Eaton,” Belcher said. “What impresses me most about Randy is his unwavering commitment to the studentathlete and the fact that he understands that the word `student’ is the most important part of that hyphenated term,” he said. “He is totally committed to the concept that these young people who come to our university are students first, and athletes second. That’s not to say that Randy does not want success on the fields and courts of play, because he shares the same expectations of excellence that I have for all of our sports teams. He has a passion for winning, and for winning the right way. But he also understands the role that athletics plays in the university and that it is not a stand-alone entity apart from the academy.” Eaton also has strong skills in fiscal management and developing athletics program budgets, which will serve WCU well during times of financial constraints, Belcher said. “His strengths will allow him to construct a strategically designed budget, manage our resources

very carefully, and guide the development of new resources through fundraising, increased ticket sales and additional corporate sponsorships,” he said. “He is extremely well-versed in NCAA compliance and issues of gender equity, and has substantial experience in strategic planning. Perhaps best of all, Randy is a great human being with a wonderful personality, and I believe he makes a great addition to our Catamount family.” Eaton’s career includes nearly seven years as part of the athletics department administration at East Tennessee State University, a former member of the Southern Conference, the intercollegiate conference in which WCU competes. “From my days at ETSU, my wife and I have fond memories of trips to Western Carolina for football and basketball games, and how friendly and warm the Catamount fan base was to the fans from ETSU. In addition to the affability of the fans, I was impressed that WCU was always a tough opponent, regardless of the sport,” Eaton said. “What solidified my decision to join the Catamount program was the family atmosphere I found on the entire campus during the interview process. This athletics program and the entire university are poised to take off to, and reach, new heights, and I want to be a part of that journey.” Eaton said he possesses an overarching desire to “win every game, graduate every student-athlete, and do it all with class” that helps him maintain a focus on what is most important - the student-athletes. “Additionally, I believe my years of varied experience within intercollegiate athletics have prepared me for this opportunity and will serve both myself and the entire athletics program well,” he said. “I would also like to think my straightforwardness and outgoing nature will benefit me in leading this department. I told people during my interview ‘what you see is what you get,’ and I meant it.” Eaton was selected from among approximately 75 potential candidates for the position, said Shea Browning, WCU associate general counsel and chair of the athletics director search committee. Seven candidates were interviewed by the search committee in Asheville. “The number of well-qualified candidates in the pool is a testament to how Western Carolina University is viewed beyond these mountains,” Browning said. “I am extremely excited with the selection and hiring of Randy Eaton. I believe his expertise and experience will carry the department of athletics to new heights. I also applaud the effort and the hard work of the search committee. Our task of selecting two finalists to recommend to Chancellor Belcher, from a very strong applicant pool, was a daunting one, especially given our time constraints.” Belcher appointed the search committee on Nov. 4 and tasked the group to find a permanent successor for C. Joseph “Chip” Smith, WCU’s former director of athletics who held the position from September 2004 until Oct. 25 of this year. Fred Cantler, WCU’s longtime senior associate athletic director for internal operations, who retired in March after 33 years of athletics administration, agreed to come out of retirement to serve as interim director of athletics. Belcher assigned the task force an ambitious, fast-track timetable so that a new leader for Catamount athletics could be in place perhaps as early as January. The first major responsibility of the new athletics director will be hiring a head football coach to replace Dennis Wagner, who resigned from the position Nov. 13 after four years in the post. Eaton said he is ready to get to work right away on finding the Catamounts’ next football coach. “I will focus on someone who will come in and concentrate on building a program, not simply a team,” he said. “There will be several qualities I will look for in our next head coach. Among them is a strong commitment to our student-athletes and a proven history of success. I also would like someone with recruiting ties and relationships within this area.” After serving in the U.S. Air Force, Eaton earned his bachelor’s degree in business administration from the University of Texas at San Antonio in 1990 and his master’s degree in sports administration from Ohio State in 1992. He and his wife, Jeannette, are parents of one daughter, Alex, who is working in athletics administration at Maryland. Eaton’s boss at Maryland praised WCU for its decision. “He will do a great job as director of athletics,” said Kevin Anderson, director of athletics at Maryland. “In Randy, you get someone with both expertise in college athletics and a person who really cares about the student-athletes.” Deborah A. Yow, director of athletics at North Carolina State University, called Eaton “...a high-energy and results-oriented professional, held in high esteem by his peers,” while James Franklin, head football coach at Vanderbilt University, characterized Eaton as “...a first-class guy with tremendous experience.” “He is one of those I’ve worked with in college athletics that gets it,” Franklin said. “He understands college athletics, revenue and nonrevenue sports and how to make them coexist. He is a guy that will represent the athletics department and the university very well.”

11-TIME SOUTHERN CONFERENCE BASEBALL REGULAR SEASON CHAMPION

The 2012 season marks the 35th that the Western Carolina University baseball program has called Ronnie G. Childress Field its home. Prior to first pitch in 2011, the facility received one of its most dramatic face lifts. Officially renamed Childress Field at Hennon Stadium in a dedication ceremony on April 23, 1994, off-season improvements in ‘11 included such as the addition of a new brick back stop, lower level field seating, brick facade down both foul lines including bullpen benches, center field batter’s eye and the construction of a courtyard plaza have helped heighten the game-day and playing experience at Childress Field / Hennon Stadium. The Catamounts moved approximately 200 yards to the east from Haywood Field early in the 1978 season and have won over 72 percent of their home games since then, with a 581-228 record in 33 seasons. Bill Haywood, head baseball coach from 1969 through 1981, and Mr. E.J. Whitmire, longtime supporter and benefactor from Franklin, were the driving forces behind the building of the facility. Childress Field, built at an initial cost of $125,000, was dedicated April 26, 1978 (pictured below), and named in honor of the late Ronnie G. Childress, an avid supporter of WCU athletics and a special friend of the baseball program. Childress, through his family’s radio station (WRGC) in Sylva, N.C., pioneered broadcasts of WCU’s baseball games. He died in May 1975 as the result of an electrical accident at the radio station. The James B. Childress family established the Ronnie Childress Memorial Fund Scholarships in 1975 and scholarships have been awarded annually to one or more WCU baseball player for the past 33 years. The facility received a $500,000-plus face lift over an eight-year time period, thanks in large part to the generosity of Mr. Lamar Hennon of Dalton, Ga., and has become a showplace of Southern Conference baseball. Permanent bleacher seating, grandstand chair-back seats, and the facility’s first-ever press box were installed prior to and during the 1990 season. A modern scoreboard, concession stands, rest rooms, and a new infield were added prior to the 1991 season. The growth of the facility continued as part of Western’s new building projects. Lights and a new sound system were added to the ballpark in the Fall of 2002. Western played its first ever night game on March 25, upsetting 10th-ranked Clemson, who is led by former WCU head coach Jack Leggett. In the summer of 2003, Childress Field was completely refurbished with nearly $500,000 worth of improvements, including new drainage and irrigation, a new Bermuda playing surface, new infield dirt and a new warning track. The warning track was extended to encompass the entire playing surface prior to the 2009 season. A new clubhouse on the first-base side is planned for upcoming seasons. The field’s dimensions are 325 feet down each line, 375 feet to the right and left center power alleys and 390 feet to straight away center field. The “Purple Monster” in left field is 100 feet long and is divided into two 50-foot levels. The first and tallest level is 20 feet high and the second level is 14 feet tall. A matching length “batter’s eye” in straight-away center field was added during the off-season. WCU hosted the 1984 and 1986 Southern Conference Tournaments at Childress Field and has welcomed out-of-conference teams representing such schools as Clemson, Georgia, Tennessee, Ohio State, San Diego State, South Carolina and North Carolina State to the facility in addition to the SoCon slate.

11-TIME SOUTHERN CONFERENCE BASEBALL REGULAR SEASON CHAMPION

The Southern Conference Conference,, which entered its 91st season of intercollegiate competition in 2011, has become known as one of the nation’s leaders in emphasizing the development of the student-athlete and defining the league’s role in helping to build lifelong leaders and role models. The Southern Conference is the nation’s fifth-oldest NCAA Division I collegiate athletic association. Only the Big Ten (1896), the Missouri Valley (1907), the Pacific 10 (1915) and the Southwestern Athletic (1920) conferences are older in terms of origination. The Southern Conference has excelled as the premier Football Championship Subdivision conference since earning that classification in 1981. SoCon member Appalachian State won three-straight Football Championship Subdivision titles. The Conference currently consists of 12 members in four states throughout the Southeast and sponsors 19 varsity sports and championships that produce participants for NCAA Division I Championships. Throughout its history, the Southern Conference has been an innovator in college athletics. The Southern Conference was the first “super conference” with its charter membership including the likes of Alabama, Auburn, and North Carolina. The SoCon, as it has come to be known by headline writers throughout the country, is the league that gave birth to the three-point shot in college basketball at Western Carolina University, and was the college home of such sporting greats as Arnold Palmer, Jerry West and Charlie “Choo Choo” Justice. Academic excellence has been a major part of the Southern Conference’s tradition. League athletes have been recognized countless times on Verizon/CoSIDA Academic All-America and district teams. A total of 19 Rhodes-Scholarship winners have been selected from the conference. M E MBERS HIP HISTORY MEMBERSHIP HIS TORY The Southern Conference was formed on February 25, 1921 at a meeting in Atlanta, Ga. Fourteen institutions from the 30-member Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Association (SIAA) reorganized as the Southern Conference. Those charter members included Alabama, Auburn, Clemson, Georgia, Georgia Tech, Kentucky, Maryland, Mississippi State, North Carolina, North Carolina State, Tennessee, Virginia, Virginia Tech and Washington & Lee. Athletic competition began in the fall of 1921. In 1922, six more schools - Florida, Louisiana State, Mississippi, South Carolina, Tulane and Vanderbilt - joined the fold. A year later, the University of the South joined the ranks. Virginia Military Institute became a member in 1925 and Duke University came into the fold in 1929. Since then, conference membership has experienced a series of membership changes with 42 institutions having been affiliated with the league. The league has undergone two major transitions during its history. The first occurred in December 1932 when the Southeastern Conference was formed out of the 23-school Southern Conference. The league’s 13 members west and south of the Appalachian Mountains reorganized to help reduce the extensive travel demands that were present in the league at the time. In 1936, the Southern Conference invited The Citadel, William & Mary, Davidson, Furman, Richmond and Wake Forest to join the membership. The second major shift happened in 1953 when Clemson, Duke, Maryland, North Carolina, North Carolina State, South Carolina and Wake Forest officially withdrew from the league to form the Atlantic Coast Conference. This change was brought about due to the desire of many of those schools to schedule a greater number of regular season basketball games against their local rivals. Today, the league continues to thrive with a 12-school membership that spans four Southeastern states. Current league members are Appalachian State, College of Charleston, The Citadel, Davidson, Elon, Furman, Georgia Southern, UNC Greensboro, Chattanooga, Western Carolina and Wofford, with Samford officially joining the league on July 1, 2008. C H A MPION S HIPS HISTOR CHAMPIONSHIPS HIS TOR Y The first Southern Conference Championship was the league basketball tournament held in Atlanta in 1922. The North Carolina Tar Heels won the tournament to become the first recognized league champion in any sport. The Southern Conference Tournament remains the oldest of its kind in college basketball. The Southern Conference began sponsoring women’s sports during the 1983-84 season. That year, volleyball, basketball and tennis championships were held in the league. Cross country joined the mix in 1985 and the league began holding indoor and outdoor track championships in 1988. Most recently, the conference instituted golf and softball championships in the spring of 1994 and added soccer in the fall of 1994. The Southern Conference currently declares champions in 10 men’s sports - football, soccer, cross country, basketball, indoor track and field, outdoor track and field, wrestling, baseball, tennis and golf - and nine women’s sports - soccer, volleyball, cross country, basketball, indoor track and field, outdoor track and field, tennis, golf and softball. Women’s sports are relatively young in the league’s history. In 1992-93, the Southern Conference celebrated its 10th Anniversary of women’s athletics. Furman golfer Dottie Pepper was named the SoCon Women’s Athlete-of-the-Decade in conjunction with that event. Appalachian State’s Mary Jayne Harrelson won the NCAA Outdoor title at 1500 meters in 1999 and 2001. Furman’s Brandi Jackson won the NCAA Women’s Golf East Regional in the spring of 2003.
