The Cavaliers of Montreat-
Anderson College matched the
Mavericks of Mitchell College
basket for basket in the second
half of play but were never
able to answer for the lO^oint
defecit brought on by Mitchell
during the first half. The 81-71
loss on February 6th marked
the first time this season that
the Cavaliers have dropped a
game at home. Their record
now stands at 9-4 with their
next outing slated for
February 8 at Asheville-
Buncombe Tech.
The Mavericks of Mitchell
College led from beginning to
end of the contest shooting a
remarkable 70 percent from
the field. Coach Norm
Wilhelmi commented, “we
only lost the game. We played
just as hard as we have all
season. We couldn’t play our
game (zone) and so we had to
force the action. Mitchell had
tremendous shooting ac
curacy.”
Mitchpll is currently ranked
No. 5 in regional defense,
and also possesses a high
scorer by the name of Walker.
Walker, who had averaged 35
points coming into the contest,
was held to only 16 by the MAC
defense. However, another
Mitchell player, Lemont
Lindsey, answered with 32
points.
Robert “Bull”Brinkley had
a big night for the Cavs hitting
22 points and managed to keep
MAC in the contest wiUi
muscle rebounding un
derneath. Willie McCray
responded with 16 points and
several ‘clutch’plays. Gary
Parris had 10.
The big surprise of the
evening was James Fresh
water’s production of only 9
points. Freshwater was in
jured in the North Greenville
game several weeks ago on
the heel of his foot and is yet to
be at 100 percent per
formance. (Please see article
on this page.)
Kenny Roseboro and Alva
Duke came off the bench in the
second half to try and spark a
MAC attack, but were only
able to dent an otherwise high
gloss Mitchell team. Duke
connected for six points. Ivan
Diggs rounded cut the scoring
for the Cavaliers with 8
baskets.

Tommy Siler sinks two points on a fastbreak for
Davis 3rd Floor in Tuesday night’s action of In
tramural Basketball.
James Freshwater, guard
for the Montreat-Anderson
College basketball team and
leading scorer in Western
Carolina, suffered an injury in
the Norto Greenville contest
two weeks ago and has yet to
recover. Freshwater went
crashing into the wall on a
fastbreak that night injuring
his left heel. Although he
played in Monday night’s
action against Mitchell, his
performance was far from
usual as he only connected for
a total of 9 points.
Fans, players, and the
coach considers Freshwater
to be the core of the MAC
attack. Freshwater says, “I’
m just following the doctor’s
orders by staying off of it and
soaking it as much as possible.’
’ There’s not much time to
recouperate for Fresh
water considering the team
could flounder without his
presence.
The injury would never have
occured if the gymnasium
wall behind the basketball
goal had been padded suf
ficiently.
Coach Norm Wilhelmi
stated solenuily, “our season
has seen its hi^water mark.’’
It looks to be a battle from
here on out for the Montreat-
Anderson Cavaliers.
