Default select a category by name instead of id

currently I am using the following code to show the news for an entry in vbdynamics. I currently have to enter the category id into a custom field on the entry to get it to work. The title of the entry will be the exact same as the title of the category and I am looking to knock out a stop. Here is my code. I will have to change $entry['field97'] to $entry['title'] The area betweeen the comment is where I need to make the changes, I think.
PHP Code:
ob_start();  

// Set Your Section ID Here 
global $entry
$section1 '242'
$category1 $entry['field97']; 
// Set The Number of Articles To Display 
$limit1 '9'

if(
$category1 == '')  

echo 
"<span style='margin-left:8px;'>There is no news for this recruit</span>"

else 

$articlegrab1 vB::$db->query_read(
SELECT "
.TABLE_PREFIX."cms_nodeinfo.nodeid 
     , "
.TABLE_PREFIX."cms_nodeinfo.title 
     , "
.TABLE_PREFIX."cms_article.previewimage 
     , "
.TABLE_PREFIX."cms_article.previewtext 
     , "
.TABLE_PREFIX."cms_article.pagetext 
     , "
.TABLE_PREFIX."cms_article.contentid 
     , "

.TABLE_PREFIX."cms_node.contentid 
     , "
.TABLE_PREFIX."cms_node.url 
     , "
.TABLE_PREFIX."cms_node.publishdate 
     , "
.TABLE_PREFIX."cms_category.category 
     , "
.TABLE_PREFIX."cms_category.categoryid  
    , "
.TABLE_PREFIX."cms_node.setpublish 
  FROM "
.TABLE_PREFIX."cms_node 
INNER 
  JOIN "
.TABLE_PREFIX."cms_article

"
);
