And let it fi ll the Western sky.So, fi ght 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 fi ll the Western sky.So, fi ght on! you Catamounts, Fight to vic-to-ry!

– Adopted in 1981, Western’s fi ght song wascomposed by members of the University faculty

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 fl owers 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!

2012 CATAMOUNT BASEBALL CATAMOUNTSPORTS.COM8

2 0 1 2 S E A S O N P R E V I E WPOSITION 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. Outfi elder Matt Johns, catcher/DH Stephen Notaro and third baseman Austin Schultz have all graduated off of last year’s team, with all-con-ference 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 fi ve had at least fi ve 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 fi eld and at the plate is combined with a pitching staff that struggled a season ago and lost several key ingredients. An infl ux 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 improv-ing 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 fi eld, in the weight room and in the classroom. Our battle cry this year is ‘team’ – doing your job and fulfi lling 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 sea-son 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 fl eet-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 mid-dle 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 Alas-kan 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 (Win-ston-Salem, N.C.) fi guring to factor into playing time this season. Gragg split time as a pinch and designated hitter, with limited playing time in the outfi eld 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 Mo-randa. “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 infi eld – and should be the strength of the squad as it enters the 2012 season. WCU is anchored by preseason All-Southern Confer-ence selections Ross Heffl ey and Aaron Attaway (both pictured above) up the middle, and one of the most dependable defensive fi rst 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 infi eld defense is the strength of our program going into the season. We’re not ex-tremely deep, but we are very solid,” said Moranda.

Heffl ey, 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 fi elding percentage and is on pace to shatter numerous WCU records including career base hits, entering his fi nal 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, Heffl ey is a career .390 hitter enter-ing his fi nal 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 fi rst is junior Tyler White, who erases many arrant throws on the right-side 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 dur-ing 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, Heffl ey and White accounted for 29 of WCU’s 54 double plays a season ago. Attaway was a part of 31 twin killings while Heffl ey 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.

POSITION PREVIEW – OUTFIELDERS:

Patrolling the outfi eld 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 fi rst 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 outfi eld entering 2012.

Combined, WCU’s fi ve returning outfi elders 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 outfi eld. We are very youthful at every outfi eld position – but had several players gain valuable playing experience a season ago as freshmen that will be starting as sophomores,” said Moranda.

Sophomores Julian Ridings and Dykota Spiess are the top two players in terms of ca-reer starts in the Catamount outfi eld. Ridings – an opening day starter in centerfi eld a year

ago – made 18 appearances in the starting lineup a season ago including 15 in center fi eld alone. Spiess started 13 games in left fi eld, with Cody Jones (pictured at left) and Luke Gragg starting a combined 13 games in 2011.

Adding depth to the outfi eld 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 run-ning from March 12 through April 14. Urqu-hart hit .281 during the fall practice season, legging out six extra base hits.

Western Carolina fi fth-year senior Vance Chavis was selected as the 2012 “Leggett Legacy” player as chosen by head coach Bobby Moranda and the Cata-mount 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 coach-ing 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 infl uenced the success and the prestige of Western Carolina baseball, Jack Leggett stands out above most. Each season, we will name one player who exemplifi es 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 ide-als of T.E.A.M. by displaying: T-Toughness, E-Effort, A-Approach to fi nd a way to M-Make it Happen.

Last year, senior catcher Stephen Notaro wore the honorary jersey No. 7 as the fi rst honoree in the Leggett Legacy. Notaro hit .335 overall on the year and fi nished second to Catamount teammate Ross Heffl ey 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 fi nal season with a 3-4 career record with 34 career appearances including 13 starts on the mound for the Cata-mounts. 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 fi rst collegiate start against Hart-ford 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 Confer-ence championships and fi ve 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 fi ve SoCon Coach of the Year honors.

MORANDA BESTOWS LEGGETT LEGACY NUMBER 7 ON VANCE CHAVIS 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 re-turning 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 signifi cant 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 fi n-ished with a team-high six victories including a pair of com-plete 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 fi nal 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 fi ve 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 Ty-ler 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.

Bobby MORANDAHEAD COACH

Bobby Moranda was offi cially 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 signa-ture victories over fourth-ranked Georgia Tech in the Yellow Jackets fi rst-ev-er trip to Cullowhee, as well as over 24th-ranked Southern California (USC) on the program’s fi rst-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 fi rst season at WCU, Moranda recruited and coached current Catamount second baseman Ross Heffl ey, 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. Heffl ey went on to

become a fi rst-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 Tourna-ment 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 fi ve rounds alone of the Major League Baseball Draft under the tutelage of Moranda. He also helped recruit and coach Matt Wieters, the fi fth 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 opportu-nity. 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.”

During his six seasons at Georgia Tech, Moranda helped guide the Yellow Jack-ets to four Top 10 fi nishes, four Super Regional appearances, three ACC titles and a pair of appearances in the NCAA College World Series in Omaha. In 2002, Geor-gia 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 Bak-ker, 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 op-ponents to a .208 batting average.

A year later, in 2003, Moranda’s pitching staff helped Tech win the ACC cham-pionship by sweeping the fi rst triple-header in conference history. The Yellow Jack-ets defeated North Carolina, Florida State and NC State on the fi nal 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.

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 Base-ball America magazine in January 2001 as one of the country’s “Rising Stars” in the college baseball coaching ranks.

After helping lay the groundwork for his fi rst 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-fi eld work with the Wake Forest pitching staff and defense. His pitchers tossed two no-hitters, the school’s fi rst in 60 years.

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

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

In 1998 his Demon Deacon pitching staff attracted national attention by throw-ing fi ve 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 Region-al, the Deacons’ fi rst NCAA appearance in 21 years. Moranda and the Deacons followed that 1998 performance with a fi ve game sweep through the 1999 ACC Tournament, a trip to the NCAA Super Regional and a top-10 national ranking.

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 fi ve 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 recruit-ing 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 fi rst-round draft pick or a fi rst-team All-American. By 1996, however, the Cavaliers had two fi rst round picks among 23 combined players drafted and two fi rst-team All-Americans. Moranda’s star pupils and recruits were outfi elder 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.

As a player, Moranda was an All-Region performer at Harper Community Col-lege in Illinois and was part of back-to-back championship teams before accept-ing 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 rank-ing. The Colonels made two consecutive NCAA Regional appearances during Mo-randa’s playing career and were just two games away from advancing to Omaha for the College World Series in 1985.

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

Western Carolina baseball alum Alan Beck returned to Cullowhee in mid-July, 2008 to join 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 fi rst-ever Director of Baseball Opera-tions under former Catamount skipper, Todd Raleigh, at the University of Tennessee. His primary responsibilities at UT included man-aging all baseball camps, oversight of stu-

dent 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 infi elders, Beck mentored a club that led all Georgia junior colleges in 10 different offensive statistical categories. The 2007 Mountain Lions won the Re-gion 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 fi rst 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 se-lection (including a pair of fi rst-team honors) ranks on both the school and league career top-10 lists in several statistical categories. He currently ranks third in ca-reer runs (216), third in career RBI (222), third in career total bases (488), fi fth in career hits (285), fi fth 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, fi fth in total bases, fi fth in walks, fi fth 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 So-Con in home runs (18), RBIs (71), runs scored (67) and walks (45), while rank-ing 30th in the NCAA in homers and tallying seven assists from left fi eld. 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 As-sociation.

Beck’s collegiate playing career included numerous other impressive achieve-ments as well. As a junior, he ranked among the SoCon’s top 10 in nine of 12 of-fensive 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 con-secutive games, and he reached base safely in 50 of 54 games played in 2002. He earned fi rst-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 fi ve 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 Bluefi eld Orioles and Class A short-season 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 outfi elders. He helped mentor outfi elder Steven Strausbaugh to 2005 SoCon Freshman of the Year hon-ors. The following year, Strausbaugh led the SoCon in home runs and RBIs and was tabbed fi rst-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 fi rst-ever league championship. The team fi nished 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 Den-ver, N.C., in mid-August of 2008. The couple had their fi rst child – Easton James – in April of 2012.

Bruce Johnson, who graduated from Western Carolina University in 2009, returns for his fi fth season on staff in Cullowhee, joining as a full-time member after two sea-sons as the Volunteer Assistant Coach and two spent as an undergraduate assistant.

Johnson came to WCU as an undergradu-ate transfer and served as both an under-graduate and volunteer assistant coach for Coach Moranda and staff over the past fi ve years, serving as the fi rst base coach.

Johnson spent the summer of 2011 as the head coach for the Wilson Tobs of the colle-giate wooden-bat Coastal Plains League. He had former Catamount slugger, Barrett Shaft

– who ended his WCU career with a school-record 336 career hits – on his assis-tant coaching staff. The Tobs fi nished with a 25-31 overall record that included a 15-13 fi nish to the fi rst half of the season.

Despite falling short of making the playoffs in 2011, the Tobs did have several bright spots including at stretch of winning 15-of-20 games in the middle of the season. During the run, the Tobs knocked off the eventual CPL champion, the Edenton Steamers.

Prior to making the move to Cullowhee, Johnson spent one year playing base-ball at South Atlantic Conference-member, Newberry College in South Carolina and most at Pitt Community College in Greenville, N.C.

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 let-terwinning 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 Colum-bia (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, fi ve-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 Ashe-boro and a second in Gastonia, earn-ing a combined six victories on the hill with a pair of complete games.

Manshack was a three-time, all-conference selection out of Piedmont High in Monroe, N.C., and earned All-State 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 stud-ies, Manshack has worked the past seven years with State Farm Insur-ance. 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 under-graduate 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 un-dergraduate role Bruce held for two seasons before taking over as the volunteer assistant at WCU.

A four-year letterwinner, Johnson fi nished 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 victo-ries 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, toss-ing 44.1 innings with a 5-4 overall record with one save while boasting a career-best 2.84 ERA. He fi nished the season ranked fi fth in the SoCon with 21 games fi nished. The hard-throwing right-hander struck out 41 batters while limiting op-ponents 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 fi rst on the team with nine victories and two saves, posting a team-low 2.89 ERA. He fi nished 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 fi nale. He kept the College of Charleston off the board in four in-nings of relief work to allow the squad to rally from a 6-0 defi cit, 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 semifi nals. For his efforts, Johnson was named the relief pitcher on the Southern Conference All-Tournament team.

The 2011 season was a disappointing one for Western Carolina as the Catamounts fi nished with an overall record of 23-31-1 and 12-18 in league play marking the fi rst fi nal mark below .500 under head coach Bobby Moranda at WCU – and the Catamount’s fi rst losing record since 2004 when the squad fi nished 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 fi rst 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-of-3 from Davidson to get into the win column in league play.

All told, WCU dropped six SoCon series on the year, scor-ing league victories over Davidson, Samford, Wofford before securing the sweep over The Citadel to end the regular sea-son. It was the Catamounts fi rst 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 11th-straight 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 fi rst-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 Heffl ey as a part of a three-run rally in the top of the 20th inning as WCU pulled out the 10-7 victory. WCU fi rst baseman Tyler White was 6-for-7 and recorded a total of 26 putouts during the Catamounts’ 20-inning victory, the lon-gest game in the history of both schools and the Southern Conference.

WCU was unable to capitalize on its opening-round vic-tory 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 Heffl ey and catcher Stephen Notaro both garnered fi rst 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 All-Freshman team.

When the media polling was released, Heffl ey, Notaro and Schultz were each again honored.

With a .419 batting average in 2011, Heffl ey led the league by 29 points over his nearest competitor. He also paced the league with a .483 on-base percentage. Heffl ey was a two-time SoCon Player of the Week, bookending the season with weekly plaudits.

The Snellville, Ga., native was also tabbed fi rst team Louisville Slugger All-America by the Collegiate Baseball newspaper. He became just the 11th different Catamount to garner All-America honors and the fi rst since outfi elder Donovan Minero in 2001. Heffl ey is just the third WCU player

to pick up fi rst 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 sacrifi ce fl ies 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 fi nishing with 40 putouts and 96 fi elding assists. Starting 54 games, the Alpharetta, Ga., na-tive 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, fi nishing with a .293 bat-ting average including eight doubles, a triple and a home run which came in his fi rst collegiate at bat in February. The Morganton, N.C., native also stole nine bases on the sea-son. In the fi eld, he helped turn 31 double plays on the sea-son, 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 ex-tra base hits including seven doubles, a triple and fi ve 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 fi nished with a SoCon-lead-ing 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 includ-ing a league-best 167 strikeouts looking.

In addition, he was named to the SoCon’s 75th Anniversary Baseball Team, meaning he was voted one of the six best pitchers in the conference, 1921 to 1996. Only pitching for the Catamounts for three seasons, Beverlin won 27 games and was the all-time, single-season leader in wins (12) and led the nation with a school and conference season strike-out record of 154. He also set league benchmark for con-secutive wins in a season (11 in 1994) and most wins in a conference tournament in 1993. In addition, Beverlin was a two-time member of the SoCon All-Academic Team.
