After one of the most memorable seasons in Appalachian State University wrestling history, the Mountaineers will look to re-peat as Southern Conference champions and return wrestlers back to the NCAA Championships.

After sending off seven of the 10 wrestlers who competed in last season’s SoCon Tournament, the Mountaineers look to pick up where they left off in 2012-13.

“It’s never easy to replace two All-Americans and 4 SoCon Champs,” head coach JohnMark Bentley said. “This year we have a new group that is working hard for the chance to repre-sent the Black & Gold.”

After graduating All-Americans Austin Trotman and Kyle Blevins, the Mountaineers look to their youthful roster to fill the gaps left by one of the most dominant App State rosters in recent memory. The Apps will carry just three seniors on this year’s roster, which includes 16 freshmen.

“I am excited to see how some of our young guys respond on this year’s team,” Bentley said. “I am extremely optimistic that this team will surprise many people.”

Leading the senior class will be Brett Boston who carries the most career wins out of any wrestler on this season’s roster. Boston has racked up 43 wins through his first three years and finished third in the 2012 SoCon Championships at 133 pounds. Boston is joined by John Blakely (157 pounds) and Jon hartley (184 pounds) to complete the senior class. Blakely and Hartley combine for 49 career victories.

Assistant Coach Matt fisk returns for his third season at Ap-palachian, as Bentley added Assistant Coach Daren Burns in August. Burns, a graduate of UNC Greensboro and a four-time Southern Conference champion, joins the staff and will focus on the heavier weight classes.

Another new feature to this season will be the addition of the Southern Conference’s eighth member, as SIUE joins the league after being an associate member for the last two seasons. The Cougars have a rich history in wrestling, capturing three Divi-sion II national championships from 1984-86. SIUE will meet Appalachian in January for the first ever meeting between the schools.

125One of the youngest weight classes on Appalachian’s roster, the only returnee is redshirt sophomore Dominic Parisi. Parisi went 4-2 in 2011-12 and has totaled 11 career victories. Join-ing Parisi is a trio of freshmen that includes andre nie, Jef-frey ogburn and Vito Pasone.

133Senior Brett Boston is the frontrunner for 133 pounds, as red-shirt freshman Joe Morrison and incoming freshman Jake smith round out this weight class. Morrison, wrestling unat-tached last season, went 17-8 with an impressive eight pins. Boston, who tallied three pins and three conference victories a year ago, was named to the preseason all-SoCon team and looks to make his first trip to the NCAA Championships this season. 141After graduating Mike Kessler, the Apps look to fill another void at 144 pounds. Junior Chris Johnson, who wrestled at 133 pounds a season ago, moves up a weight class and is the most experienced of the group. Johnson has posted 26 career victories in his career, highlighted by three pins in 2011-12. Also providing depth at this weight is junior acton Pifer who has 11 wins to his credit. Appalachian added four freshmen to the 141 pound weight class that provide extra depth.

149The Mountaineers lost Savva Kostis from a year ago and the most competition will likely come from this weight class. Four experienced juniors look to contend for the starting role as Ri-ley Keen and aaron scott provided the most experience as they combine for 23 wins. Freshman Dylan Cottrell may sur-prise people in this year’s lineup as he comes to App State as one of the top wrestlers in the state of West Virginia.

197Redshirt sophomore Paul Weiss is one of the most experi-enced wrestlers on the 2012-13 roster. Weiss was named to Southern Conference all-Freshman team after finishing 5-1 in SoCon meets last year. Weiss finished last season with an im-pressive six pins and 17 overall victories. The Fort Lauderdale, Fla. native looks to continue his winning ways this year.

285After winning the starting role in January of last season, Joe Cum-mings looks to be the favorite to start the season. Cummings captured 11 wins last year as he is joined in this weight class by freshmen Denzel Dejournette and travis Morgan. Dejournette comes to Appalachian after an impressive high school career, finishing second in the North Carolina State Championships.

freshmenThe newcomers to the roster will play a pivotal role to this year’s roster, a spot that has been unfamiliar to recent rosters over the last five seasons. Freshmen can be found in nine of the ten weight classes this season and some may be asked to start during the long season.

“We have several young guys who can make some noise and compete for All-American honors,” Bentley said. “The key to this year’s team will be staying healthy.”

157Senior John Blakely enters this weight class with the most matches, as the Mountaineers graduated Chip Powell who tal-lied 73 wins in his career. After a great 2010-11 season where he went 3-1 in SoCon matches, Blakely has been battling inju-ries and the Apps could bring in depth from junior Jacob free-man and freshman Cody Boswell.

165After graduating All-American Kyle Blevins, Appalachian looks to fill the void of the second most winningest wrestler in the program’s history. Bentley is excited for redshirt freshman Zack strickland, as he has worked hard to possibly see the start-ing lineup in November. Junior Kaleb forrest has eight wins last season, including a dominating pin at just 49 seconds.

174One of the younger weight classes on the roster, the Moun-taineers will look to replace Carter Downs who graduated in 2012. Sophomore Colin hedash wrestled 2011-12 un-attached, but posted 16 victories. Redshirt freshman nick Vetell will also push for the starting role, entering this year with 20 wins. Providing depth to this weight class will be sophomore Jake Johnson and freshman nick sinicrope. 184Senior Jon hartley and sophomore Jesse Johnson seek to replace All-American and all-time winningest wres-tler in Appalachian history, Austin Trotman, this sea-son. Hartley has been fighting off injuries in the offsea-son as the senior and Johnson combine for 23 wins.

JohnMark BentleyHead Coach

Fouth SeasonNorth Carolina, 2001

JohnMark Bentley enters his third season as head coach of the Mountaineers after joining the program as assistant coach in 2006. In each of his three seasons as head coach, Bentley had multiple wrestlers win Southern Conference titles and advance to the national championships. Tony Gravely, Kyle Blevins and Austin Trotman were SoCon champions in 2011, as Trotman and Blevins made the podium in their respective weight classes at the NCAA Championships last season. For his efforts last season, Bentley became the first Appalachian head coach to be named SoCon Coach of the Year. The year was highlighted by the historic win at Chattanooga and the undefeated conference season. Bentley was an assistant coach for two seasons at App State before being named associate head coach in 2008. Before ascending to the helm of the program, Bentley assisted 2009 title-winner Frank Celorrio and two-time SoCon champion Scott Ervin, who graduated as App State’s career leader in wins with 114. Since 2006, two Mountaineers have received the league’s Wrestler of the Year honors: Ervin in 2008 and Trotman in 2010. Trotman also received Freshman of the Year accolades in 2008, and both Ervin and Blevins were recognized as the SoCon

T o u r n a m e n t O u t s t a n d i n g Wrestler during B e n t l e y ’ s coaching tenure. Coach Bentley has seen the Black and Gold capture 13 SoCon Wrestler of the Week awards and his wrestlers have captured five spots on all-SoCon teams and another five slots on the all-Freshman honor roll. A graduate of the University of North Carolina, Bentley came to Appalachian with vast experience as a coach and wrestler. At North Carolina, Bentley was a three-time Atlantic Coast Conference champion and was twice named team MVP. He was the 2001 ACC Wrestler of the Year and a 2000 University Nationals Freestyle All-American. He ranks ninth in UNC single-season win percentage with a mark of .919, when he went 31-2 in 2000-01. He is sixth all-time with an .851 career winning percentage at Carolina and finished with 92 career wins. He was a three-year member of the UNC Student-Athletic Council and earned a degree in communications in 2001. In 2008 he earned a masters degree in school administration from App State. He began his career as the top assistant at Davidson College in 2002-03. From 2003-2006, he was head coach at Watauga

High School in Boone, leading the Pioneers to a third-place finish at the North Carolina State Championships with three individual state titlists in 2006. A three-sport athlete at Avery High School in nearby Newland, N.C., Bentley was the second wrestler in North Carolina high school history to win four state championships. He finished his high school career with a perfect 144-0 record, capped by a National Championship in 1997. Bentley’s brother, Matthew, wrestled at Appalachian from 1992-96. He and his wife, Aaron, reside in Seven Devils, N.C. with their daughter, Katie Elizabeth.

The Southern Conference, which is in its 92nd season of intercollegiate competition in 2012-13, is a national leader in emphasizing the development of the student-athlete

and in helping to build lifelong leaders and role models. The Southern Conference has been on the forefront of innovation and originality in developing creative solutions to address issues facing intercollegiate athletics. From establishing the first conference basketball tournament (1921), tackling the issue of freshmen eligibility (1922), devel-oping women’s championships (1984), to becoming the first conference to install the three-point goal in basketball (1980), the Southern Conference has been a pioneer.

The Southern Conference is the nation’s fifth-oldest NCAA Division I collegiate athletic association. Only the Big Ten (1896), the Missouri Valley (1907), the Pacific 12 (1915) and the Southwestern Athletic (1920) conferences are older in terms of origination.

Academic excellence has been a major part of the Southern Conference’s tradition. Hundreds of Southern Conference student-athletes have been recognized on ESPN

The Magazine/CoSIDA Academic All-America and all-district teams. A total of 19 Rho-des Scholarship winners have been selected from conference institutions. The confer-

ence currently consists of 12 members in five states throughout the Southeast and sponsors 19 varsity sports and championships that produce participants for NCAA

Division I Championships. The Southern Conference offices are located in the historic Beaumont Mill in Spartanburg, S.C. A textile mill that was in operation from 1880 until

1999, Beaumont Mill was renovated in 2004 and today offers the league first class meeting areas and offices as well as a spacious library for storage of the conference’s

historical documents.

charlie coBBDirector of athleticsnC state, 1990eighth YearIn his seven years at Appalachian State University, director of athletics Charlie Cobb has led the department to unparalleled success.

The many achievements enjoyed by Appalachian athletics during Cobb’s tenure include:

• Three NCAA Division I football national championships — marking the first time that any program has ever won three-consecutive NCAA Division I Football Championship Subdivision (FCS — formerly Division I-AA) titles and the first NCAA football championships ever won by a team from the state of North Carolina at any level.

• Shattering football attendance records at Kidd Brewer Stadium with crowds surpassing “The Rock’s” perma-nent seating capacity for each of ASU’s 40 regular-season home games since Cobb’s arrival in 2005.

• A 298-percent increase in football season-ticket sales.

• Seven-consecutive Commissioner’s Cup championships — recognizing the top overall men’s sports pro-gram in the Southern Conference.

• Three Germann Cup championships — recognizing the top overall women’s sports program in the SoCon.

• Thirty-five percent of the athletics department’s students making the Academic Honor Roll (minimum GPA of 3.25).

• Seven of 20 varsity programs (football, men’s basketball, men’s cross country, women’s cross country, field hockey, women’s indoor and outdoor track and field) earning public recognition awards, based on being among the nation’s top 10 percent in their respective sports based on Academic Progress Rate (APR) scores.

• The Yosef Club, which provides scholarship and facility support for student-athletes, setting fundraising records each of the past seven years. Despite the state of the economy, the Yosef Club has reached the $2 mil-lion threshold for donations five years in a row. The record $2.72 million raised by the Yosef Club in 2011-12 is over $2 million more than Appalachian State athletics ever raised in any year prior to Cobb’s arrival.

• Appalachian’s athletics annual budget increasing from $7.5 million in Cobb’s first year to nearly $14.5 million in 2012-13.

The most visible of Cobb’s many achievements has been the addition of first-class facilities that will give Ap-palachian State the opportunity to be successful across the athletics spectrum for years to come.

A wave of facility enhancements totaling $50 million were completed in 2009, headlined by the 120,000-square-foot Appalachian Athletics Center. The seven-story complex, located behind Kidd Brewer Stadium’s west stands, includes new football offices and locker room, a strength and conditioning center, training facilities, academic study space and computer lab for all ASU student-athletes, as well as premium seating in the form of 600 club-level seats and 18 luxury suites.

The facility enhancements also included other significant renovations to The Rock. A new ticket plaza, which serves as a grand entrance to the stadium, as well as ornamental fencing that replaced the chain-link barriers that used to surround the stadium and field were completed before the 2007 season, while a 4,400-seat upper deck on the stadium’s east side and substantial upgrades to the east and south concourses were completed prior to the ‘08 campaign.

In addition to the renovations at Kidd Brewer Stadium, the campaign also produced new homes for Moun-taineer baseball (Jim and Bettie Smith Stadium), softball (Sywassink/Lloyd Family Stadium) and soccer (at the Ted Mackorell Soccer Complex), as well as the Apps’ first-ever indoor practice facility (Sofield Family Indoor Practice Facility) and renovations to Varsity Gym that have upgraded the facility to a premier practice and competition venue for ASU basketball, indoor track and field, volleyball and wrestling.

With the $50 million in facilities enhancements, all 20 of Appalachian’s intercollegiate sports teams now practice and compete in facilities that have either been built or renovated since the turn of the millenium.

While Cobb is quick to point out the “total team effort” put forth to achieve the many successes that have been enjoyed since he began his tenure as ASU’s director of athletics on July 1, 2005, it is the experience, vision and work ethic of the 44-year-old Cobb that has steered the Mountaineers to new heights.

Cobb’s peers recognized him for his efforts when the National Collegiate Athletics Directors Association (NACDA) named him the NCAA Division I FCS Southeast Region Under Armour Athletics Director of the Year in 2011.

He also serves on numerous NCAA and Southern Conference committees, most notably the NCAA Division I Football committee that he currently chairs.

Prior to his arrival in Boone, Cobb was a member of the athletics department at North Carolina State University from 1998-2005. A four-year football letterwinner at NC State from 1987-90, Cobb served as the Wolfpack’s senior associate athletics director for external operations for the seven years prior to his arrival in Boone. In that role, he oversaw NC State’s marketing, ticket operations, media relations and student-athlete development operations, as well as serving on the department’s compact strategic planning initiative, gender equity and facilities committees.

During his tenure, NC State increased football season-ticket sales by 87 percent and men’s basketball season-ticket sales by 121 percent. The combined ticket revenues accounted for an annual increase of over 86 percent for Wolfpack athletics, generating more than $6 million for the department.

In addition, Cobb served as NC State’s administrator for baseball and women’s soccer, tournament manager for the 2004 NCAA men’s basketball first and second rounds at the RBC Center and the chair for the southeast region of the NCAA women’s soccer committee.

Prior to returning to his alma mater in ‘98, Cobb spent six years in Atlanta, Ga., where he held positions with the Atlanta Sports Council, the Chick-Fil-A Peach Bowl and the Georgia Dome. As an assistant executive direc-tor for the Atlanta Sports Council and the Peach Bowl, he helped coordinate Atlanta’s bid for the 2002 NCAA men’s basketball Final Four and handled all game and event operations for the Peach Bowl.

As sales manager for the Georgia Dome from 1994-97, Cobb helped procure events such as the Southeastern Conference football championship, the SEC and Atlantic Coast Conference men’s basketball tournaments, NCAA men’s basketball championship events, Georgia High School Association football playoffs, major concerts and other college and amateur sporting events.

Cobb graduated with honors with a B.A. in business administration from NC State in 1990. A second-team all-ACC honoree at center as a senior, Cobb was an academic all-ACC selection and collected the prestigious Jim Tatum Award, presented to the ACC football senior with the highest grade point average, and the Bob Warren Memorial Award, given to the Wolfpack football player that displays the highest integrity and sportsmanship.

After receiving post-graduate scholarships from both the ACC and NFL Charities, Cobb earned a master’s degree in sports administration from Ohio University in 1992.

Cobb is married to the former Lindsay Brecher, who was an all-ACC goalkeeper for NCSU women’s soccer from 1988-90 and serves as an assistant coach for Appalachian’s women’s soccer program. The Cobbs have a 14-year-old son, Harrison, and an 11-year-old daughter, Branan.

Appalachian State University is located in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Boone, N.C. At an elevation of 3,333 feet, Boone began as a frontier outpost named after pioneer Daniel Boone, who �rst explored the area in the 1760s. Boone now attracts those seeking a breathtaking location, adventure and a quality education. Appalachian is a member of the 16-campus University of North Carolina system and o�ers a challenging learning experience. The university combines a small-town atmosphere with a strong academic reputation. Appalachian’s academics are supported by an accomplished faculty, close, personal interac-tion between students and faculty, and intimate class sizes that average 25 students. Originally founded as a teachers college, Appalachian now cultivates lead-ers in business, science, the arts, communication, music, nursing, education and other careers. Innovation and creativity are hallmarks of Appalachian graduates, who are leaders in communities in North Carolina and around the world. Appalachian also emphasizes the importance of sustainability and ser-vice to communities, both locally and globally. Today, Appalachian is a leader in the �elds of energy-focused green technology and the health sciences. Consistently ranked among U.S. News and World Report’s best public universities in the Southeast, Appalachian is also noted as a “best value” by Kiplinger’s Personal Finance magazine and other publications. Appalachian’s 410-acre main campus includes 19 academic buildings, a 210,000-square-foot library, 21 residence halls, three dining facilities and 11 recreational and athletic facilities. Appalachian also operates a living-learning center in New York City and o�-campus programs in 10 counties through col-laboration with area community colleges.

ATHLETICS EXCELLENCE Appalachian supports a broad-based athletics program, featuring 10 men’s and 10 women’s intercollegiate teams. The Mountaineers hold NCAA Division I status and have been members of the Southern Conference since 1971. The Mountaineers have won 32 Southern Conference Commissioner’s Cups for overall excellence in men’s athletics, with 2012 being its seventh-straight year to win. No other conference school has won the Commissioner’s Cup more than �ve times since its inception in 1969-70 and no current SoCon member besides Appalachian has claimed it more than once. Appalachian also has won eight Germann Cups, recognizing overall excellence in women’s ath-letics. Appalachian is the only school to ever win both the Commissioner’s Cup and the Germann Cup in the same academic year – a feat it has accomplished eight times. Since joining the Southern Conference, the Mountaineers have earned league titles in football, men’s and women’s basketball, volleyball, men’s and women’s cross country, men’s and women’s indoor and outdoor track, wres-tling, baseball, men’s soccer and men’s tennis. In football, the Mountaineers won three consecutive NCAA Division I FCS national championship titles in 2005, 2006 and 2007.

APPALACHIAN ATHLETICS MISSION STATEMENT The Department of Athletics at Appalachian State University believes in maintaining the intercollegiate athletics program as an integral part of the University’s overall program of education, with emphasis on and priority given to the high academic quality and standards and the complete development of the student. Appalachian State University provides opportunity and encouragement for student-athletes to progress to-ward degrees of their choice and to develop athletic abilities in an environment consistent with high standards of academic scholarship, leadership and institutional loyalty. The Department of Athletics is committed to ensuring the general welfare of the student-athlete and to encouraging the highest standards of sportsman-ship on behalf of student-athletes, the student body and the University’s supporters. The intercollegiate athlete representing ASU is both a bona-�de student pursuing a degree program and an amateur competitor. Appalachian Athletics is committed to insuring equitable recruitment, participation and treatment of individuals including members of under-represented populations through its athletics administration, sta�, coaches, programs and policies. The University’s policy of non-discrimination represents a moral and ethical, not merely a legal, imperative.

The University has determined that its athletics program will meet the necessary quali�cations, guidelines and funding to hold membership in Division I of the NCAA. The athletics administration, the faculty athletics representative and the Athletics Council work together to insure that all teams and coaches follow the rules and regulations governing this division. A sound program of intercollegiate athletics should bene�t the institution through its e�ects on students, alumni ad the institution itself. Speci�cally, it should maintain and improve the loyalty and esprit de corps of the student body, and in strengthening the pride and enthusiasm of the alumni; it should serve as a favorable public relations factor and provide bene�ts to the participants.

APPALACHIAN ATHLETICS DIVERSITY STATEMENT Appalachian athletics promotes an inclusive culture that fosters equitable participation for student-athletes and equitable career opportunities for coaches, administrators and support sta� from diverse backgrounds and perspectives.

O�ce of the Chancellor


Boone lies in a small valley in the heart of the Southern Appalachians. It is named after the hunter and explorer Daniel Boone, who spent time in the region during the 1760s. Watauga County was formed in 1849 and the Town of Boone incorporated in 1872. Among its accolades are inclusion in National Geographic Adventure magazine’s “Best Places to Live and Play,” Norman Crampton’s “100 Best Small Towns in America,” USA Today’s “10 Great Small Towns with Huge Backyards” and U.S. News and World Report’s “10 Best Places to Retire in the U.S.” Boone is a college town, home to Appalachian State University. Originally Watauga Academy, the institution was formed to educate the mountain children and to ultimately prepare teachers for service through western North Carolina. It became Appalachian State Teachers College in 1929 and joined the University of North Carolina system in 1971. The university serves as a top economic driver followed by a combination of tourism, small business and residential home construction. The Boone area is characterized by mountain culture and casual living. Outdoor activities, cultural events, local dining and unique shops attract visitors from all over the world year-round. From breathtaking scenic views to Boone’s eclectic downtown area, known as King Street, there is something for everyone. One of the highlights of downtown Boone is the university’s Turchin Center for the Visual Arts. It features six gallery spaces and a community education and outreach program. Its exhibitions focus on a blend of recent and historically important artwork and feature nationally and internationally renowned artists as well as many of the �nest artists of the region. A wide array of quality arts and cultural events enhance the Boone community. The university’s month-long celebration of performing and visual arts, known as An Appalachian Summer Festival, has brought notable performers such as Paul Taylor Dance Company, London City Opera, Charlie Daniels and the Glenn Miller Orchestra. During the academic year, Appalachian hosts the Performing Arts Series with artists such as Garrison Keillor and the National Symphony Orchestra. Boone o�ers an uncommon quality of life – that’s why many visitors come for a weekend and stay for a lifetime.
