Cameron Crazies? Not quite, but equally despised! Roberson students at left challenge Asheville students at right.


First Year men’s coach Tiger Norman is leading his team to a strong start. Asheville’s conference opener was a doubleheader against the Rams of T.C. Roberson. No love was lost between these two schools as huge crowds turned out o­n both sides to create an energetic atmosphere. Despite a large crowd and great effort, The men’s team was unsuccessful, losing 72-63. 


 After the Roberson loss, the men’s team has not lost a conference game since and o­nly lost o­ne non-conference game to 4A East Burke 64-56.  Along the way, Asheville has defeated Enka, Freedom, Reynolds, Erwin, and Hendersonville. The men are currently ranked third in the conference according to Citizen-Times.com. 

The Lady Cougars have struggled early in the season.  Enjoying the same crowd and atmosphere as the men at the Roberson game, the ladies were likewise defeated, receiving a 63-58 loss to Roberson.  Since the Roberson game, the ladies have defeated o­nly Erwin and Hendersonville. (Hendersonville was soundly defeated 74-32). The Lady Cougars are tied for fourth in the conference according to Citizen-Times.com.
