8 Catamount did you know? - Western Carolina s HENRY LOGAN the program s all-time leading scorer helped break the color barrier in college basketball when he signed with Western Carolina in1964 becoming the first African-American collegiate athlete in the history of North Carolina and perhaps at any predominantly white institution in the southeastern United States... Logan scored an astounding 3,290 points an average of 30.7 points per game during his WCU career and was a four-time NAIA All-America selection... One of 11 in WCU s initial Athletics Hall of Fame Class, Logan was inducted into the North Carolina Sports Hall of Fame in Western Carolina University gave birth to the 3-point shot in NCAA history as former Catamount Ronnie Carr buried the first 3-pointer in NCAA history in WCU s victory over Middle Tennessee State on Nov. 29, The ball he used is on display at the Basketball Hall of Fame in Springfield, Mass.... The shot was made from the left corner with 16:09 left in the first half (7:06 pm). - Carr actually took and missed a 3-pointer from the top of the key at the 18:15 mark of the first half. - Western Carolina finished as the 1963 NAIA National Runner-Up under head coach Jim Gudger... WCU posted a 28-7 overall record, won the Carolina s Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (CIAC) tournament and the NAIA District title... the Catamounts then rattled off wins on consecutive days over Eastern Montana, Miles, Lewis & Clark and Fort Hayes State before falling in the championship game to Texas Pan American. - In its only NCAA tournament appearance, the 1996 Western Carolina Catamounts nearly pulled off the most improbable of upsets as the No. 16 seed fell by two, 73-71, to No. 1 seed Purdue in Albuquerque, N.M.... The game was tied with under three minutes to play with Purdue s Brandon Brantley scoring the game s final bucket with 1:30 to play... WCU had two looks at both a game-winning and a game-tying shot inside the closing seconds but both attempts missed. - WCU s bid to play in the CollegeInsider.com Post-Season Tournament (CIT) following the season represented the Catamounts return to post-season play for the first time since Western Carolina s eighth-year head coach Larry Hunter enters his 33rd season as a head coach... Hunter has 628 career victories, ranks 11th on the NCAA s all-time active career wins chart. - Western Carolina has one former player currently in the National Basketball Association in Kevin Martin, who played for the Catamounts from He currently plays for the Minnesota Timberwolves...

Men s Basketball Signs Three for Season Alex Hicks, Devin Peterson and Ashley Williams will enroll at WCU in the fall of 2014 Cullowhee, N.C. The Western Carolina men s basketball program has inked three signees, Alex Hicks, Devin Peterson and Ashley Williams, for the season as announced by head coach Larry Hunter Wednesday. First of all, I want to recognize my staff for all of the hard work they have put forth in helping to put together this 2014 recruiting class Hunter said. With five talented seniors graduating next spring I have kept the pressure on them to tirelessly work at building quality relationships with coaches, recruits and their families, while promoting and selling the many positive qualities of Western Carolina University and our basketball program. Hicks is a 6 8, 195lbs forward from Salem, Ala. where he will play at Glenwood School coached by Dusty Purdue. Before transferring schools to Glenwood, Hicks played for three seasons at Russell County High School where he averaged 16 points, 11 rebounds and two blocks per game. Russell County went and advanced to the Alabama High School Basketball Association Sweet 16. He was a two-time all-conference performer and the team s MVP twice. Hicks played AAU basketball for the Georgia Kings and head coach Gerald Olgetree. Alex is a very gifted player with great versatility, Hunter said. He is comfortable inside around the basket and also out on the perimeter a talented scorer from all over the court who has very good ball-handling and passing skills. His length and athleticism allow him to play bigger than his actual size. He should be able to compete for serious playing time very quickly. Devin Peterson is a 6 2, 170lb point guard from Atlanta, Ga. where he plays for head coach Marvin Latham at Mt. Pisgah. During his junior season he averaged 17 points, four assists and five rebounds per game while earning all-region and all-metro team honors. He played his AAU basketball for the Atlanta All-Stars and head coach Ben Miller. Devin has good point guard instincts, skills and experience, Hunter said. He is highly skilled with the ball; his poise and feel for the game help him score and distribute. He will play hard on both ends of the floor and has demonstrated leadership and toughness on his teams. Ashley Williams is 6 6, 165lbs guard from Morehead City, N.C. where he plays at the Greenfield School for one season entering his senior year for head coach Rob Salter. He also played for two seasons at Croatan High School. During his junior season at Greenfield he averaged 12 points, four rebounds and two assists per game, while picking up all-conference and all-state accolades. He played AAU basketball for Garner Road Elite and head coach Dawyne West. Ashley is a long, athletic wing with great character and skill set, Hunter said. He is the son of coaching parents and has been well schooled in the basics. He is someone who has been exposed to hard work and toughness and is a very passionate and committed young man. The three will enroll at WCU in the fall of the 2014 and play for the Catamounts during the season. We are very excited about the overall character, talent, work ethic, passion and potential of this group of young men, concluded Hunter about his three signees. They are good people who you want to be around, and this is a very talented class of players. There is good size and athleticism in this group. They have a good fundamental base with good offensive ball-handling, passing and shooting skills. Their positional diversity will help them fit comfortably into our system of play and should help us continue to compete for championships for the next several years.

WCU again surpassed the school benchmark for treys with 226 made 3-pointers in and most recently re-wrote the school record books with 274 made 3-pointers in Hunter, whose teams posted winning records in 26 of his 33 previous seasons as a head coach, boasts an overall record of and currently ranks as the 11th winningest ACTIVE coach in the country.

He also recruited and coached both the and SoCon Freshmen of the Year in Harouna Mutombo and Trey Sumler. Mutombo was WCU s first rookie of the year since Jarvis Hayes in 2000 while Sumler became just the fifth Catamount all-time to garner the award. While his first year at Western Carolina was just his third losing season as a head coach, posting a mark, Hunter s inaugural season with the Catamounts saw many positives. Western nearly doubled its win total from the previous season. Also, its 7-7 record and third place finish in the SoCon North was its best in the league since posting the same record for the season, while placing second that season. Key wins in his first season included: a win over Bowling Green in the season opener WCU s first season-opening win over a NCAA Division I team since defeating Georgia Tech to start the season; a win over Chattanooga snapping an eight-game losing streak to the Mocs; a win at Davidson snapping Davidson s 19-game home winning streak which was the third longest in the NCAA at the time; and defeating SoCon North Champion Elon late in the season setting up a battle for a first-round bye at the league tournament. Western Carolina has rewritten the school record books under Hunter.

State would go on to reach at least the ACC Tournament semifinals in each the last three years as well as receiving bids to the NCAA Championship. In 2004, Hunter coached Julius Hodge, who was tabbed ACC Player of the Year and consensus All-America. In 2005, the Wolfpack made an impressive run at season s end and defeated defending NCAA Champion Connecticut to reach the Sweet 16. N.C. State was just one of 21 teams in the nation to play in the NCAA Championship in each of the last four years. Hunter spent 12 years ( ) as head coach at Ohio University prior to his stint in Raleigh. Five years after taking over the Bobcat basketball program ( ), he led Ohio to a 25-8 record and was tabbed the Mid-American Conference (MAC) Coach of the Year, winning both the league s regular season and tournament titles. The following year, the Bobcats won the preseason National Invitation Tournament (NIT), went and reached the second round of the postseason NIT.
