Walling I new role j By John Swift %Gamecock Staff Writer Although most USC basketball I/ fans are familiar with the con- ||| tributions of Katrina Anderson and l. Sheila Foster to the success of the | Ladv Gamecocks, it is doubtful S !I many realize the important role f| Jean Walling has played this |J| season. ||| Though adjusting to a new 1 position, the Barnwell native has H provided steady play, compiling an average of 15 points and eight [k rebounds a game. [|? "I'm still adjusting to playing p| outside and I think it has hurt my K scoring game," Walling said. "My biggest contributions to the team, fl however, are rebounding and I defense." H HER CONSISTENCY in all phases of the game has helped the I Lady Gamecocks improve their record to 12-6. But the toughest part of their schedule still remains as they prepare to face such top teams as Clemson, N.C. State, and Old Dominion. Walling said she feels the team has reached its peak at the right time. j "We've come together since the four losses over Christmas, and we're starting to jell now. The UNC game this past Saturday showed we can play team ball and we need pnntinno fn nloir fUot " ?? vukuiiuv vvf jjjoj uiai w ay IU WC successful," Walling commented. "The four losses over Christmas were mainly due to overconfidence," she added. AS FOR HER future in. women's basketball, the sophomore physical education major is un- I certain about playing in the new / women's professional league after college. _ ; "I've thought about pro ball and I don't know if I'd want to make a parppr T'H lilrf tn Hn nthor ? - ? W Viw v/mv^l llliu^d besides basketball the rest of my ! life," she said. Walling said she does feel that the women's professional league is here to stay, but she does not foresee women competing with | men on the basketball court. For now though, Walling is content to make basketball an integral part of her life as the Lady Gamecocks still have a chance at a 20-win season. Attainment of this goal is perhaps the way for Jean Walling to gain the recognition she truly deserves, but rarely receives. f!
