Catamounts To Honor Gibson: Western Carolina legend Mel Gibson will have his No. 20 jersey retired this season. Gibson, who joins other Catamount greats Henry Logan (No. 10) and Ronald Rogers (No. 15) in the rafters, played for WCU from 1959-63. Gibson earned first team All-America honors in 1963 and led the Catamounts to the NAIA championship game that year. He averaged over 20 points per game over his junior and senior seasons, helping the Cats to 49 wins over the span, and was on the USA gold medal team in the Pan American Games, held in Brazil, in 1964.
