Tobe Childers - Football - (1957-60)
Completed 72-percent of his pass attempts with just four interceptions in a game where passing was the exception, not the norm. Tossed nine TD passes in 1959 and '60 with sportswriters dubbing him "the Bomb" due to his long TD passes. Led WCU to a 7-2-1 record in 1959. One of his most vocal and visible accomplishments was the founding of "the Herd" - an unofficial football support group comprised of football alum. Was the Catamount Club's first, two-term president. Received the 2007 SoCon Distinguished Service Award for Western Carolina.
