Cullowhee, N.C. - Western Carolina head football coach Kent Briggs and head women's soccer coach Tammy DeCesare are slated to be the special guest speakers at the first Catamount Coaches' Luncheon of the season to be held on Wednesday, Oct. 17 beginning at 11:45 am on-campus in Cullowhee.
The Coaches' Luncheon events will take place at the newly remodeled Cats' Den, located in Brown Cafeteria on the WCU campus. The Cats' Den is a leisure space for students and the WCU community which is decorated with Catamount sports memorabilia and photos of past Western legends.
Each week's luncheon will feature a buffet-style lunch beginning at 11:45 am and will last until approximately 1:00 pm. Head coaches from WCU's athletic programs will be the keynote speakers at each event offering insight into their seasons and "X's and O's" from their respective sport, as well as answering questions from those in attendance.
Briggs will talk about his team's Homecoming game against The Citadel this Saturday (Oct. 20, 1:00 pm), as well as the milestones both seniors Mike Malone (career kickoffs and career kickoff return yards) and Eddie Cohen (season receiving yards) are rapidly approaching. DeCesare will breakdown the Catamount soccer season, as well as look ahead to Georgia Southern (in Statesboro, Friday, 3:00 pm) and the squad's final home game - Senior Day - this Sunday, Oct. 21 against Davidson.
There is an open invitation to everyone in the surrounding communities, but an RSVP is requested by the Friday prior to the next event to allow proper preparations to be made. The cost of the luncheon is $7.00 per person.
The series will begin October 17 and continue through mid-November before reconvening in January amidst basketball season. Next week's guests are slated to be Briggs, head volleyball coach Stephanie Dragan and head cross country/track & field coach, Danny Williamson.
