'Basketball on the Boundary' Set for Wednesday, Oct. 30

Cullowhee, N.C – Just five days ahead of the start of two new eras for Catamount men's and women's basketball under a pair of veteran head coaches who are new to Western Carolina, both teams travel to Cherokee on Wednesday, Oct. 30, for a special preseason scrimmage dubbed "Basketball on the Boundary."
 
The Catamount hoops squads are slated for one of their final intrasquad scrimmages ahead of the start of the season, to be held at the Peaches Squirrell Sports & Recreation Complex in Birdtown. The event is free of charge and open to the public (first come, first serve on gym seating) and begins at 6 p.m. The teams are scheduled to play two halves apiece – the men's team playing its first half after the women's opening frame, with the women's second half to be played at halftime of the men's scrimmage.
 
Wednesday holds a full afternoon for Catamount basketball on the Qualla Boundary as both teams will participate and host a basketball clinic at Cherokee Central Elementary School. Player and staff will sign autographs for the kids before the two teams go to Birdtown for their respective scrimmages.
 
Western Carolina opens the 2024-25 season under women's basketball first-year head coach Jonathan Tsipis and first-year men's head coach Tim Craft with a season-opening Catamount hoops doubleheader on Monday, Nov. 4, on Ingles Court at the Ramsey Center in Cullowhee. WCU's women host Warren Wilson College at 5 p.m., with the men to follow against Bob Jones University at 7:30 p.m.
 
Season tickets for the home portion of the 2024-25 Catamount men's and women's basketball seasons are on sale now through the first-floor Ramsey Center Ticket Office, by phone at (828) 227-2401, and online at CatamountSports.com/BuyTickets. Options include tickets for men's or women's and an "all-hoops" package for every home game in the Ramsey Center for both squads. Single-game tickets are slated to go on sale on Friday, Oct. 25 beginning at 10 a.m... 
 
WCU has a combined 27 home dates on Ingles Court at the Ramsey Center including 14 home men's games and 13 for the women's squad with a total of nine before the winter holiday break.
