2007 Preview2010 Preview

Junior fullback Byron Darby led L-R in rushing yards last year with 651 while averaging 7.2 yards per carry and earning preseason all-league honors in 2010.

Overview The Lenoir-Rhyne Football Team made its biggest leap forward last season under fourth-year mentor Fred Goldsmith.The Bears improved their record for the second straight season as they jumped from 3-8 in 2008 to 5-6 last year. However, L-R could have easily won a few more contests and proved it can go toe-to-toe with every team in the South Atlantic Conference. With at least seven starters back on both the offensive and defensive units, Lenoir-Rhyne’s goal of a winning season for the firsttimesince1994couldbeverymuchrealized in 2010.

Offense Lenoir-Rhyne’s run-heavy offense continuestoputupprolificnumbers.Lastyear, L-R rushed for its most yards since 1975 as it averaged 294.3 per contest. That number ranked second in the nation. A lot of the Bears’ rushing success can be attributed to the performance of their offensive line. The unit, one of the strongest on the squad,needstoreplacetwostartersbutwelcomes back junior right tackle Chan-dler Rearden (Greenwood, S.C.). Rearden took a medical redshirt last year and looks to return to his 2008 form which saw him earn First-Team All-South Atlan-tic Conference honors. A healthy return by Rearden would help the Bears’ prospects immensely. L-R also brings back senior center Chad Thacker (Burlington, N.C.) and senior right guard Everett Tucker (Brunswick, Ga.). Thacker has been a starter since the mid-dle of his freshman season and shouldn’t have any problems moving from left tackle to center and replacing all-league honoree Harrison Smith. Tucker, meanwhile, played admirably inhisfirstseasonontheoffensivelinein2009 after moving from the defensive side of the ball. Senior Jamie O’Briant (Durham, N.C.) takes over at left tackle and there is a good battle brewing at left guard between sopho-more Kaleb Myrick (Loganville, Ga.) and sophomore Parker Murray (Ninety Six, S.C.).

Although L-R’s offense has undoubtedly increased its production over the last few years, the team still feels it needs a stronger passing attack for better balance. The Bears are looking for their receivers to step up and are counting on junior Nick Stutts (Statesville, N.C.) and sophomore Artis Gilmore (Asheville, N.C.) to take the lead. Both players could start this season. Stuttsfinishedsecondonthesquadlast year in catches (nine) and yards (153) and has a dependable set of hands. Stutts is also in position to see his production increase this fall and the Bears would surely take advantage of it. Gilmoreshowedflashesof potentiallastseason and should play more consistently in 2010 with a year under his belt. Keep in eye on junior Justin McCombs (Newton, N.C.), an athletic wideout who has game-breaking ability. Senior tight end Devan Pointer (Bur-lington, N.C.), who led L-R in receptions (15) and yards (186) last season, is the most experienced receiver back and enters this year as a First-Team Preseason All-SAC honoree.

Thebackfieldisonceagainfilledwithdepth, talent and experience. The halfback tandem of seniors James Pone (Wilson, N.C.) and Andrew Courman (Beaufort, N.C.) can match up with anyone in the league. Both players have rushed for over 1,000 yards in their careers and were impressive last year with each averaging over seven yards a carry. Courman,whofinishedthirdonthesquadin2010with544yardsrushingandfour touchdowns, was named to the all-league preseason second team. L-R is also set a fullback with junior Byron Darby (Gastonia, N.C.). One of thefastestplayersonthesquad,Darbyled the Bears in rushing yards (651) while averaging 7.2 yards per carry and scoring a team-highfivetouchdowns. Darby, an all-league preseason honoree as well, has the ability to become one of the most formidable runners in the league. Despite this, junior fullback Le’Quan McCorkle (Sherrills Ford, N.C.) has surged to the top of the depth chart and is battling Darby for the top spot. Junior halfback Jasper Thomas (High Point, N.C.) and sophomore halfback Anthony Thwaites (Mooresville, N.C.) may all be listed as second on the depth chart but should see a lot of playing time with Lenoir-Rhyne’s penchant for rotating running backs. Forthefirsttimesince2005,Lenoir-Rhyne will not have the services of Justin Sandersbehindcenterbutareconfidentjunior Major Herron (Kingsland, Ga.) can take over the starter’s spot full time. Herron has seen a lot of action in his firsttwoyearswithL-Randhisdual-threatability works well in the Bears’ system. Waiting in the wings is sophomore Reu-ben Haynes (Commerce, Ga.), a promis-ing young player whose strength comes in his ability to run. Haynes averaged close to seven yards a carry last year and will battle Herron at the outset of preseason camp. Keep an eye on redshirt freshman Jacob Copeland (Palmetto, Ga.), who has become a strong candidate at the No. 3 quarterbackspot.

Manning the other outside linebacker position will be sophomores Chris Carter (Jamestown, N.C.) or Cle-Artiss Davis (Miramar, Fla.). Both players were pleasant surprises last year as freshmen and should continue to improve. Both inside linebackers return as well in senior Victor Nito (Douglas, Ga.) and sophomore Demetrius Green (Cedart-own, Ga.). Nitocameintohisownlastyearandfin-ished second on the team in tackles with 63 while Green took over in the latter half of the year and ended up with 32 takedowns. Green is another young player with a lot of promise. The defensive line will get a makeover with the loss of seniors Scottie Armstrong and Keonte Davis but do have some talent waiting in the wings.

Defense Just as the offense took a giant step forward two years ago, the defense did likewise last season. As a whole, Lenoir-Rhyne’s defense played as well as it has in recent memory and looks to continue its ascension in 2010. Despite the loss of Michael Green, the secondary looks like a strong point for the Bears entering camp. Senior safeties Marcus Shuford (New-ton, N.C.) and Carl Brooks (Raleigh, N.C.) are both entering their fourth years as starters. Shuford, a First-Team All-SAC honoree, ledthesquadintackleslastseasonathisfree safety spot with 76 and has developed into one of the best players in the league. Brooks, the strong safety, is all about production and last year was no differ-entashefinishedwith47tacklesandtwointerceptions. Brooks was honored with a spotonthepreseasonall-leaguesquad. Senior Cam Thompkins (Sanford, Fla.) moves over to safety after playing hisfirsttwoyearsasacornerbackandgives the Bears experience in the second-ary. Thompkins tied for the team lead in interceptions with three in 2009. Junior Jamont Jones (Washington, N.C.) had a coming-out party for the Bears last seasoninhisfirstyearasastarteratoneof the cornerback spots. Jones (39 tackles and an interception) still has a lot of upside and could be looking at a breakthrough campaign in 2010. Junior LeBrandon Banner (Winston-Salem, N.C.) or Justin McCombs (Newton, N.C.) is expected to take over the cornerback position vacated by Green in 2010. Banner played sparingly last season while McCombs moves over to the defensive side of the ball after playing wide receiver. The linebacker corps remains intact and the Bears expect to see marked improve-ment from the group. Junior outside linebacker Richard Walker (Loganville, Ga.) anchors the trio after garnering preseason all-conference accolades. Walker totaled 41 takedowns last year and the coaches think he can establish him-self as one of the best defensive players on thesquad.

Junior placekicker Colin Corpe led Lenoir-Rhyne in points scored last year with 59 points and has 114 points in just two sea-sons with the Bears.

Junior Jamont Jones led L-R in kickoff return yards (565) and average (28.2 ypr) and returned one kickoff for a score (90 yards vs. Concord on September 5, 2009) last year.

Junior Nelson Bullard (Shelby, N.C.) stepped in right away last season at defen-sive end and made his presence known. Bullard (32 tackles) earned all-league preseason accolades in 2010 and looks to anchor a young unit. Two other sophomores – Brandon Martin (Roebuck, S.C.) and Jason Arenil-las(Hollywood,Fla.)–looktofillthevoidleft at defensive tackle and nose guard, respectively, for the Bears. Both players enter their third year with the program and should be ready to go. Junior Mike Harold (Newton, N.C.) and sophomore Evan Black (Stone Moun-tain, Ga.) give the Bears depth on the line.

Special Teams Lenoir-Rhyne needs to replace its punter (Matt Corbin), but welcomes back two-year starter Colin Corpe (Ocala, Fla.), a junior placekicker, and return man Jamont Jones. Corpe hopes to return to his freshman-year form in which he earned All-SAC First-Team accolades while Jones is knock-ing on the door for all-league recognition. Jones is effective at returning both kick-offs (28.2-yard average and one score) and punts but the Bears will also lean heavily on Artis Gilmore for a two-pronged attack. Gilmore returned a kickoff for a touch-down last season as well. Freshman Spencer Linquist (Newton, N.C.) might get the nod at punter but L-R will also look at Corpe or Major Herron.

Schedule For the fourth straight year, Lenoir-Rhyne hosts six games at Moretz Stadium includingthefirstthreecontestsof theseason. L-R welcomes Chowan (August 28), Concord (September 4) and Davidson (September 11) before traveling to North Greenville(September18)foritsfirstroadcontest of the year. Lenoir-Rhyne hosts Mars Hill on Home-coming October 9, and closes out the regular season at Moretz Stadium against long-time rival Catawba on November 13.

Conference StatisticsConference StatisticsHistory

The South Atlantic Conference is a group of 10 church-related colleges and universities of similar size and athletic philosophy. Entering its 22nd year as an all-sports con-fererence and 18th as a member of NCAA Division II, the league continues to grow as one of the premier small-college athletic conferences in the nation. The SAC has made great strides since becoming eligible for NCAA Division II postseason play in July 1993. The league was founded in 1975 as a football-only conference. Kurt Brenner-man, of Greensboro, N.C., won a contest to nametheleague,beingthefirsttosubmittheSAC-8 name. The conference held the SAC-8 moniker until 1989, and evolved into what is the South Atlantic Conference today. Leading the South Atlantic Conference is newly-appointed commissioner Patrick Britz, who is just the second commissioner in the conference’s history.

The Glory Years: 1955-62The Glory Years: 1955-62

Clarence Stasavich was Lenoir-Rhyne’s Head Coach from 1946 to 1961 and com-piled a 120-37-7 (.777) record.

Overview L-R’sfootballhistoryisfilledwithtradition,winning and many memorable moments. However, an eight-year period beginning in 1955 and concluding in 1962 is an era of Bear football which truly separated the program from its peers. During the stretch, Lenoir-Rhyne compiled an incredible 76-6-4 mark for an astounding .907 winning percentage. This type of run ranks up with an college football program - at any level, NCAA or NAIA - of all time. To put it in another perspective, the Bears averaged less than one loss per season during the span.

By The Numbers Here is a look at several things L-R accom-plished over those eight years:

• OneNAIANationalChampionship(1960)

• ThreeNAIANationalChampionshipappear-ances in four years (1959, 1960 and 1962)

• Threeseasonswithoutaloss(1955,1956and1960)

• Eightstraightconferencetitles

True Road Warriors The most impressive thing about Lenoir-Rhyne’s eight-season run may have been its record on the road. Consider this, of the 10 losses or ties L-R did have during the span, only three were away from College Field/Moretz Stadium (two defeats and one tie). In fact, both losses were in the NAIA Na-tional Championship game! The Bears were 34-4-3 (.866) at home com-pared to 42-2-1 (.944) on the road.

More Road Stuff: The Streaks L-R put together a 25-game road unbeaten streak (24-0-1) before losing in the ’59 NAIA National Title game. Not to be outdone, the Bears followed with an 18-game winning streak away from home which ended in the ’62 NAIA National Champi-onship game.

The Tiebreaker One of the most memorable games in Lenoir-Rhyne history took place on Dec. 3, 1960, at College Field when the Bears hosted Northern Michigan in the NAIA Eastern Championship game. The game concluded with a 20-20 tie thanks to some late game heroics by L-R. The Bears’ Tony McClamrock hit Marcus Midgett on a 38-yard scoring pass with under a minute to play to tie it. According to NAIA regulations, the criteria

for breaking a tie is total yardage. Nearly 6,500 people huddled around the press box right after regulation to await the an-nouncement. After numerous retotals, a winner was declared: Lenoir-Rhyne. The Bears out-gained Northern Michigan by 25 yards: 294 to 269.

The National Championship Lenoir-Rhyne’sfirstandonlyNationalCham-pionship came on Dec. 10, 1960, when the Bears defeated Humboldt State (Calif.), 15-14, at the Holiday Bowl Stadium in Saint Petersburg, Fla. Trailing14-12lateinthefourthquarter,L-RHead Coach Clarence Stasavich sent out fresh-man Marion Kirby to kick what would be the game-winningfieldgoalfortheBearsandthedream was realized.

Individual Excellence From 1955 to 1962, Lenoir-Rhyne had a whopping 48 players garner all-conference honors and 12 different Bears earned some kind of All-American honors.

The “Other” Years The national championship season of 1960 may have overshadowed the fact that in 1959 and1962theBearsreachedthefinalsaswell.

1959 (10-1) In ’59, L-R rolled through the regular season at 9-0 before dominating Southern Connecticut, 47-20, in the NAIA Eastern Championship game on Dec. 5, 1959. However, Lenoir-Rhyne’s title hopes fell in a 20-7 loss to Texas A&I on Dec. 12, 1959, in Saint Petersburg, Fla. The’59squadwasoneof theBears’bestever. L-R was ranked No. 1 in the country throughout the regular season and outscored its opponents, 336-96.

1962 (11-1) Thissquad,thefirstunderBearmentorHanley Painter, will go down as one of the best defensive teams in program history. L-R won all 10 of its regular season games and gave up just 61 points (6.1 per game) all year. The defensive performance included four consecutiveshutoutswithfivealltotal. Lenoir-Rhyne smothered Northern State (South Dakota) in the NAIA Eastern Playoff Championship, 20-7, on Dec. 2, 1962, at home before falling to No. 1-ranked Central Okla-homa State, 28-13, in the Camellia Bowl (Dec. 8, 1962) in Sacremento, Calif.

The Perfect Season The1956team(10-0)wastheonlysquadinschool history with a perfect campaign.

All-American Times Two During the dynasty, four players received All-American honors not once but twice: Harold Bullard (1956-57), Lee Farmer (1959-60), Dick Lage (1959-60) and Richard Kemp (1961-62).

@ = All-Time Collegiate Record* = Modern Era Record (1921-present)

NCAA Record Lenoir-Rhyne University currently holds the NCAA Division II record for fewest turnovers in a season (eight) since the NCAA began keeping the statistic in 1985. In 1994, the Bears only turned the ball over eight times (four fumbles, four interceptions) as they won its most recent South Atlantic Conference championship. Lenoir-Rhyne holds the per-game record with 0.8 turnovers in 10 games during the 1994 season.

All-Time Collegiate Mark Lenoir-Rhyne’s 837 yards rushing against Davidson in 1975 (a 69-14 road win) remains the all-time collegiate rushing mark.

All-Time RosterAll-Time Roster The Lenoir-Rhyne University All-Time Football Roster has been published for the ninth time since the production of the 1985 football guide. The 1985 version was made possible in large part by former L-R coach, R.M. “Pat” Shores. Shores spent countless hours using oldyearbooksandothersourcestocompiletheinitiallist.TheL-RsportsinformationofficealongwithformerL-RstudentsJeff Jones,JuJu Phillips and LuAn Hobson worked extensively to have the list ready for publication in 1985. Former L-R professer Jerry Bolick used computers to assist with this project. In March-May 2002, former L-R Assiststant SID Andrew Hotchkiss revived, updated, and enhanced the All-Time roster. The current list includes all players on the original list and all players that have appeared in football guides and game programs since 1985. Please con-tacttheL-Rsportsinformationofficeforanycorrections,additions,ordeletionstothislist. TheLenoir-Rhynesportsinformationofficewishestothankallthesportspublicityandsportsinformationdirectorsthathaveworkedso hard for many hours in order to publicize L-R athletics throughout the years. Thanks go out to John Hall, Rick Strunk, Joe Smith, Thomas Neff, Dom Donnelly, Michael MacEachern, Chris Pluto, and, espcially, to Andrew Hotchkiss who spearheaded this hard-working project.

Piedmont Educational FoundationPiedmont Educational FoundationDedicated To Excellence In Academic And Athletics

The Team Behind The Teams Lenoir-Rhyne is only one of a handful of schools in NCAA Division II that offers such a diverse intercollegiate athletic program providing 20 sports. Great pride is taken in how things are done at Lenoir-Rhyne. There is only one way . . . the right way. Lenoir-Rhyne student-athletes have learned to appreciate the strength of discipline, the wisdom of teamwork and the tenacious pursuit of excellence. Lenoir-Rhyne’s strong committment toward athletics and academics provides our student-athletes with tools and resources necessary to be suc-cessful througout their lives. With this in mind, Lenoir-Rhyne and its athletic fundraising arm, the Piedmont Edu-cational Foundation/Bears Club, are commit-ted to enhancing the educational experiences and opportunities for our student-athletes. The Piedmont Educational Foundation/Bears Club was chartered on December 12, 1946, for the purpose of providing scholar-

ship aid to worthy young men and women who otherwise might not have the advantage of a college education. Now, with over 600 members throughout the United States, the Piedmont Educational Foundation has provided over two million dollars in aid to Lenoir-Rhyne. With your support we are able to develop a competitive athletic program as we work to build championship people, both onandoff theplayingfield. Friends, alumni, parents and companies-anyone can join the Piedmont Educational Foundation/Bears Club with a contribution. Ourgivinglevelsandbenefitsstartat$150dollars and graduate to a named scholar-ship giving level of $5,000. When you join the PEF/Bears Club, you are investing in a brighter future for many of the Lenoir-Rhyne’s student-athletes. Call the Piedmont EducationalFoundation/BearsClubofficeat(828) 328-7130 to join today or via e-mail at [email protected].

Why Such An Organization Is Needed Even though some intercollegiate sports are income producing, others provide no income. However, all sports do attract students to the school and, in so doing, contribute greatly to the overall well-being of Lenoir-Rhyne. Withoutthefinancialassistanceof thePiedmont Educational Foundation/Bears Club,thefinancialburdenof maintaininga competitive athletic program would fall to Lenoir-Rhyne’s already pressed general fund. Gifts from alumni and friends are absolutely necessary for the athletic pro-gram to operate.

The Piedmont Educational Founda-tion/Bears Club provides a tax deductible vehicle through which these gifts may be matched. All gifts are receipted and acknowl-edged by Lenoir-Rhyne and the Piedmont Educational Foundation/Bears Club. We recognize that a number of our donors contribute to both academics and athletic programs of Lenoir-Rhyne. Therefore, your entire contribution to the school will be gratefully acknowledged (in total) in Lenoir-Rhyne University’s an-nual report.

The Piedmont Educational Founda-tion is selling, as a fundraiser for athletic scholarship, replicas of the campus statue entitled “The Charge”. Anyone purchas-ing this statue will have their name placed in perpetuity on the site of the campus bear at the conclusion of the fundraiser. This is a great gift idea for any alum-nus or friend of Lenoir-Rhyne. Part of the $1,500.00 cost of the statue may be tax deductible. Please call Cindy Moser at (828) 328-7130 or email her at [email protected] for more information and payment options.

Moretz StadiumMoretz Stadium The 2010 season marks the Bears’ 83rd year in one of the most beautiful football facilities to be found on any college campus. The year 2002 proved to be a rebirth in for L-R football as Moretz Stadium saw its atten-dance jump by a national-best average of 2,933 pergameandLenoir-Rhynefinished19thinthecountry in NCAA Division II in attendance. Lenoir-Rhyne has now led the South Atlantic Conference in attendance for the last seven of the past eight years. On September 16, 1989, the Bears’ home football facility was renamed the Helen & Leon-ard Moretz Stadium. The stadium honors the two longtime Lenoir-Rhyne supporters. Recent renovations to the facility include a new press/president box, new lighting, and general repairs were made possible by a gift from Mrs. Moretz through the college’s $24 million Centennial Renewal Campaign. The site of the stadium has been home of the Bears since the early 1920s and much of Lenoir-Rhyne’s football successes and athletic history began here. Originally named College Field, the facility wasbuiltasacombinationfootball-baseballfieldin 1923. Since records have been documented, beginning in 1927, L-R has won 54 percent (209-180-21) of their home contests over the 78-year span. The stadium gained its present look in 1964 during a major renovation project, which was a monumentalundertakingasthefielditself wasloweredsomefivefeet,adrainagesystemwasinstalled, retaining walls around the stadium were built, and new concrete stands were added.
