2 AVERETT UNIVERSITY COUGARS FOOTBALL

Celebrating our 10th season ...Conference championships. All-confer-ence selections. Regional and national recognition. Those were simply aspira-tions when Averett University fi elded its fi rst football team in the fall of 2000. Yet, as the Cougars’ football program competes in its 10th season in 2009, those dreams have all been achieved within the fi rst decade of the team’s in-ception.

Averett earned its fi rst conference championship in 2006, but the program’s success spans more than just that title run. The Cougars have produced an All-American, several all-region players, 71 USA South All-Conference selections, as well as one USA South Defensive Player of the Year and two USA South Rookies of the Year. Mike Dunlevy, who

enters his eighth season at the helm of the program, earned USA South Coach of the Year honors in 2003.

In addition to their success on the fi eld, the Averett football program has pro-duced numerous academic all-confer-ence players, including Scott Swann, who received the Don Scalf Award as the USA South Conference’s Student-

Athlete of the Year. Outside of athletics and aca-demics, the team prides itself on its community ser-vice efforts in the Danville area.

With so much success in its fi rst 10 seasons of competition, there’s no doubt that football program will achieve even more as the history and tradition continue to grow.

34 AVERETT UNIVERSITY COUGARS FOOTBALL

USA SOUTH CONFERENCE

The USA South Athletic Conference might be one of the newest names in Division III athlet-ics, but that doesn’t mean the 11-team confer-ence is new on the scene. One of the oldest Division III conferences in the nation, the USA South was born as the Dixie Intercollegiate Athletic Conference in 1963 when six institu-tions with similar philosophies of academics and athletics joined as founding members. Those colleges were: Charlotte College (now UNC-Charlotte), College of Charleston (S.C.), Methodist College (now Methodist University), North Carolina Wesleyan College, St. Andrews Presbyterian College and Lynchburg College. The basis for the new athletic conference was that participation would be strictly amateur, and thus no athletically awarded fi nancial aid or athletic scholarships would be awarded. That philosophy still exists today. In February 2003, it was announced that the Dixie Intercollegiate Athletic Conference would change its name to the USA South Athletic Con-ference. The name change was made offi cial on July 1, 2003, and the fi rst USA South Athletic Conference championships were awarded in the fall of 2003.

The Conference was originally affi liated with the National Association of Intercollegiate Athlet-ics (NAIA) and remained with that affi liation until 1973. At that time, the NCAA divided into three legislative and competitive divisions, with

Division III allowing membership for nonathletic scholarship institutions only. The Dixie joined the NCAA, and in so doing, became one of the fi rst conferences accepted into Division III. Since the inception of Division III, the USA South has been a leader in many areas, and has gained an outstanding regional and na-tional reputation in a number of sports.

The Conference sponsored athletic programs for men only until 1981. In that year, the NCAA expanded its sponsorship to include women’s sports, and the Dixie followed that lead by including women’s sports. The Conference now sponsors championships in men’s and women’s cross country, men’s and women’s soccer, women’s volleyball, football, men’s and women’s basketball, baseball, softball, men’s and women’s tennis, golf and women’s lacrosse for a total of 14 sports.

Presently, the Conference features 11 institu-tions, fi ve in Virginia, fi ve in North Carolina and one in Tennessee. The Tennessee institution, Maryville College, became a competing mem-ber of the Conference in the fall of 2005 as a football only member. Averett University, Chris-topher Newport University, Ferrum College, Greensboro College, Mary Baldwin College, Meredith College, Peace College and Shenan-doah University have joined Methodist and N.C. Wesleyan and make up today’s Conference membership.

GAME 1: Bridgewater 34, Averett 13 DANVILLE, Va. — Two interception returns for touch-downs helped Bridgewater College defeat Averett Univer-sity 34-13 in the season-opener for both teams at the Cougar Den. Bridgewater took an early 6-0 lead on a 19-yard touch-down pass from Hagan Driskell to Patrick Smoot. The extra point attempt, however, was blocked by Averett senior Andre Garvin (Cheraw, S.C./Cheraw). The Eagles pushed their lead to 12-0 less than four minutes into the second quarter on an-other touchdown pass by Driskell. On Averett’s ensuing drive, sophomore quarterback Philip Kwiatkowski (Coral Springs, Fla./J.P. Taravella) was intercepted by Bridgewater’s Travis Marks, who returned the pick 23 yards for a touchdown. Bridgewater’s defense found the end zone again with less than three minutes to play in the half. Averett senior quarterback Shan Fairbanks (Groveland, Fla./South Lakes) had his pass intercepted by T.J. Montague and returned 36 yards for a score. The Eagles (1-0) added a 42-yard fi eld goal by Jared Miller as time expired to end the fi rst half, giving Bridgewater a 27-0 lead. The youthful Cougars’ inexperience showed in the fi rst half with 11 penalties for 93 yards — most of which came on defensive offsides calls. Averett’s offense broke through early in the fourth quar-ter. Junior fullback Brian Daniels rumbled into the end zone on a 4-yard run to cut the score to 27-6. Bridgewater added another passing TD with 5:25 to play. Averett answered with a little bit of trickery. Senior fullback Steven Oristian (Grasonville, Md./Brentsville) threw a 41-yard touchdown pass to junior wide receiver Anthony Squillini (Clay-ton, N.C./Clayton) with 1:12 left. Although the Cougars (0-1) failed to come away with the win, they managed to edge the Eagles in total offense by a margin of 333-328. Averett also managed to break several plays for long gains. Sophomore running back Mark Williams (Gainesville, Fla./P.K. Yonge) scampered 44 yards before be-ing tripped by the Eagles. Fairbanks added a 44-yard toss to sophomore wide receiver Jeremy Dixon (Hawthorne, Fla./Haw-thorne). Averett also got solid play from two newcomers. Junior linebacker Mario Huffman (Danville, Va./Tunstall) led the Cou-gars with eight tackles and freshman defensive end Terrance Bullard (Riviera Beach, Fla./Dwyer) made three sacks and had six tackles.

GAME 2: Averett 31, Guilford 24 DANVILLE, Va. — The Averett University football team had many reasons to celebrate in a 31-24 victory over Guilford College at the Cougar Den. Not only did Averett snap an 11-game losing streak, the Cougars shined in the process. Junior wide receiver Anthony Squillini (Clayton, N.C., Clayton) reeled in two touchdown catches and junior running back Dontavious Watson (Tampa, Fla./Brandon) rushed for 102 yards and two touchdowns to lead the Cougars. Averett (1-1) improves to 4-1 all-time against Guilford (2-1). The Quakers took an early 3-0 lead on a 31-yard fi eld goal by Hunter Chappell, but the Cougars marched right back down the fi eld on their ensuing possession. Squillini caught a 12-yard touchdown pass from sophomore quarterback Philip Kwiatkowski (Coral Springs, Fla./J.P. Taravella) to cap a four-play, 64-yard drive that put Averett ahead 7-3. Averett sophomore linebacker Logan Smyth (Danville, Va./Chatham) picked off a Jake Vogelbach pass on Guilford’s next drive and returned it 39 yards. That helped set up a 12-yard score by Watson to put the Cougars ahead 14-3 with 6:23 left in the fi rst quarter. The Quakers battled back, however, and Justin Parker scored on a 1-yard run to pull Guilford to within four points. That ended the scoring in the fi rst half as Averett took its 14-10 lead into the locker rooms. The Cougars padded their lead with a 38-yard fi eld goal by sophomore Marcus Klusacek (Ft. Myers, Fla./Estero) and a 13-yard touchdown run by Watson to go ahead 24-10. The latter scoring drive didn’t come without a price as Kwiatkowski was injured on a passing play. Although he didn’t return, senior quarterback Shan Fair-banks (Groveland, Fla./South Lake) picked up right where Kwi-atkowski left off. On his fi rst full series, Fairbanks hit sophomore wide receiver Jorge Del Valle (Miami, Fla./Florida Christian) for an 80-yard pass that got the Cougars down the Guilford 5-yard line. Three plays later, Fairbanks threw a fade pass to the right side that Squillini caught for another Averett touchdown. Fair-banks fi nished with 112 yards through the air and was 7-for-10 passing. Guilford scored two touchdowns in the fourth quarter to close the gap to 31-24, but senior cornerback John Garcia (Pembroke Pines, Fla./Everglades) sealed the game with an interception with 16 seconds to play. Averett’s only turnovers came on downs. Guilford, on the other hand, threw three interceptions. In addition to Smyth and Garcia, senior defensive lineman Justin Anaya (Gibsonton, Fla./East Bay) also had a pick. Smyth led the Cougars with 11 tackles, while Garcia and junior linebacker Mario Huffman (Danville, Va./Tunstall) each added eight tackles.

GAME 3: Washington & Lee 31, Averett 23 SALEM, Va. — Averett University rallied late in the fourth quarter, but it wasn’t enough. Washington & Lee University held off the Cougars 31-23 at Salem Stadium. Trailing 31-7 late in the fourth quarter, Averett (1-2) tried to mount a comeback. Senior quarterback Shan Fairbanks (Groveland, Fla./South Lake) found senior fullback Steven Oristian (Grasonville, Md./Brentsville) for a 17-yard touchdown, and junior running back Dontavious Watson (Tampa, Fla./Bran-don) rushed in for the two-point conversion to cut the Washing-ton & Lee lead to 31-15 with 5:33 to play. The Cougars’ defense forced the Generals (3-1) to punt, giving Averett the ball with 2:31 left on the clock. The Cougars moved their way down the fi eld, and Fairbanks hit junior wide receiver Anthony Squillini (Clayton, N.C./Clayton) for a 5-yard touchdown with 1:12 to go. Fairbanks’ pass to Watson for the two-point conversion made the score 31-23. Still a one-possession game, Averett recovered the on-side kick but couldn’t fi nd the end zone again. The Cougars went four-and-out, giving the Generals the ball with 40 seconds left. Much like their 2007 meeting, the fi rst half was a close battle. Washington & Lee took a 7-0 lead after Charlie Westfal threw a 3-yard touchdown to Daniel Kohl in the fi rst quarter. The Cougars tied it before the half on Watson’s 4-yard run. But the Generals began to pull away in the third quarter. They took the lead on Stuart Sitterson’s 6-yard touchdown run and increased their lead to 16-7 following an Averett safety. Two more Washington & Lee touchdowns gave the Generals a 31-7 cushion before Averett battled from behind. Watson led the Cougars with 90 yards rushing on 14 car-ries, including one for 63 yards. Fairbanks completed 19-of-39 passes for 150 yards and one interception. Squillini led the re-ceivers with six catches for 47 yards. Senior Andre Garvin (Cheraw, S.C./Cheraw) led the Cou-gars on defense with 13 total tackles and a sack, while junior Mario Huffman (Danville, Va./Tunstall) and sophomore Justin McCauley (Kannapolis, N.C./Brown) added 9 total tackles.

GAME 4: Ferrum 30, Averett 9 DANVILLE, Va. — Averett shut down Ferrum for most of the fi rst half, but the Panthers took advantage of several oppor-tunities in the second half and came away with a 30-9 victory over the Cougars at the Cougar Den. Averett looked sharp in the fi rst half of its USA South Conference opener, and the Cougars took a 2-0 lead when ju-nior linebacker Mario Huffman (Danville, Va./Tunstall) brought down Ferrum quarterback Matt Dobson in the end zone for a safety at the start of the second quarter. After a free kick, the Cougars (1-3, 0-1 USA South) put together a nine-play, 48-yard drive that culminated in a 3-yard touchdown run by junior running back Dontavious Watson (Tampa, Fla./Brandon). Averett held Ferrum’s offense in check for most of the half until the Panthers’ fi nal full drive before the break. Ferrum (4-1, 2-0 USA South) methodically moved down the fi eld, and quarterback Marcus Mayo found Marques Wilson for an 11-yard touchdown pass with 25 seconds to play. Averett attempted a 47-yard fi eld goal attempt just before the half, but it sailed wide left and the Cougars settled for a 9-7 halftime lead. Ferrum had only 81 total yards in the fi rst half, with 65 of them coming on its scoring drive. That changed in the second half. The Panthers took a 14-9 lead after Mayo ran in a touch-down from 7 yards out with 8:58 left in the third quarter. Averett’s ensuing drive got the Cougars into the red zone with a fi rst-and-goal from the 7-yard line. The Cougars came up short on third down and elected to go for the score on fourth down from the 1-yard line. Ferrum stopped Averett for no gain and took over on downs. It was the fi rst of two red zone op-portunities that the Cougars couldn’t convert. On its next possession, Averett senior quarterback Shan Fairbanks (Groveland, Fla./South Lake) hit junior wide receiver Anthony Squillini (Clayton, N.C./Clayton) for a 9-yard gain, which gave the Cougars a fi rst-and-goal from the Ferrum 10-yard line. But Fairbanks’ pass on third down was intercepted by Ferrum’s Dennis Hardy, who returned the pick to the Averett 28-yard line. Two plays later, running back Mike Vann scored from 30 yards out to put the Panthers ahead 22-9. Ferrum added another touchdown with 4:01 to play.

GAME 5: Averett 31, Methodist 17 FAYETTEVILLE, N.C. — Averett University jumped on Methodist University early and never relinquished the lead for a 31-17 road victory. Methodist overcame a 17-0 defi cit to cut Averett’s lead to 17-14 early in the third quarter, but the Cougars answered with a 7-yard touchdown run by junior Dontavious Watson (Tampa, Fla./Brandon) with 4:25 to go in the third. The Monarchs (1-4, 0-2 USA South) countered with a 30-yard fi eld goal from Mario Miralles to close the gap to 24-17. But on Averett’s ensuing possession, the Cougars drove 72 yards down the fi eld for another score. Sophomore quarterback Philip Kwiatkowski (Coral Springs, Fla./J.P. Taravella) found ju-nior wide receiver Anthony Squillini (Clayton, N.C./Clayton) for a 24-yard touchdown pass with 12:41 left in the game. Averett (2-3, 1-1 USA South) held on from there after intercepting Methodist quarterback Erik Teague on the Mon-archs’ next drive for the fourth time on the afternoon before taking over on downs on Methodist’s fi nal two possessions. Junior safety William Bonilla (Miami, Fla./Miami Christian) got the fi nal pick of the day. Senior linebacker Clyde Robinson (Fredericksburg, Va./Massaponax) had two interceptions and sophomore cornerback Jeremy Clifton (Greenville, N.C./D.H. Conley) had one. Averett opened the game with a 33-yard fi eld goal from senior Chris Ashcraft (Suffolk, Va./Lakeland) on its fi rst posses-sion. Junior fullback Brian Daniels (Greenville, N.C./D.H. Con-ley) scored on the Cougars’ next two drives on 1-yard touch-down runs to help put Averett ahead 17-0 with 7:20 to play in the second quarter. Methodist scored a touchdown right before the half to cut the Averett lead to 17-7 entering the break. Kwiatkowski, who had missed the last two games with an injury, returned to the starting lineup and went 16-for-24 with a touchdown and no interceptions. Watson fi nished with a team-high 84 yards on the ground on 21 carries and scored his fi fth touchdown of the season. Senior running back John Ellison (Cheraw, S.C//Cheraw) rushed for 80 yards on 16 attempts. Junior linebacker Mario Huffman (Danville, Va./Tunstall) and sophomore safety Justin McCauley (Kannapolis, N.C./Brown) led the Cougars defense with seven tackles apiece.

GAME 6: N.C. Wesleyan 49, Averett 24 ROCKY MOUNT, N.C. — Averett couldn’t make it two in a row as the Cougars fell to N.C. Wesleyan 49-24. Averett (2-4, 1-2 USA South), which was coming off a road win last week at Methodist, got off to a rough start. The Cougars bobbled the snap on a punt attempt and gave N.C. Wesleyan the ball in the red zone, which led to a Stedman Ma-this touchdown run. Another N.C. Wesleyan touchdown minutes later put Av-erett in an early 14-0 hole. The Cougars, however, marched right back down the fi eld. Sophomore quarterback Philip Kwiat-kowski (Coral Springs, Fla./J.P. Taravella) found junior wide re-ceiver Greg Harbaugh (Raleigh, N.C./Sanderson) for a 29-yard completion on third down to move the chains. Averett scored on its next play on a highlight-type catch by sophomore wide receiver Jeremy Dixon (Hawthorne, Fla./Hawthorne). Kwiat-kowski’s pass to Dixon inside the Bishops’ 5-yard line was con-tested by cornerback Reshard Patterson, but Dixon was able to tip the ball back to himself and he caught it as he fell to the ground in the end zone for the score. That play helped cut the Bishops’ lead to 14-7 with 5:19 to play in the fi rst quarter, but N.C. Wesleyan (3-3, 2-1 USA South) bounced back to score on a 5-yard pass from Bo Jordan to Damel Spears. Averett had its opportunities to chop into N.C. Wesleyan’s lead, but couldn’t convert. Freshman Kevin Blyden (Orlando, Fla./Timber Creek) recovered a pair of muffed punts, but the Cougars couldn’t get any points out of either possession. After another Bishops touchdown that gave them a 28-7 lead, Averett drove into N.C. Wesleyan territory only to have Kwiatkowski’s pass picked off in the end zone. The Cougars did manage to get a few more points on the board before halftime. Kevin Quicker’s punt was blocked by the Cougars and Blyden fell on the loose ball in the end zone. Unfortunately, Blyden was touching the line in the back of the end zone when he recovered the ball and the play was ruled a safety instead of a touchdown. Trailing 28-9 at halftime, the Cougars couldn’t overcome the large defi cit in the second half despite a 20-yard touchdown catch by junior wide receiver Anthony Squillini (Clayton, N.C./Clayton) and a 1-yard run by Kwiatkowski. Kwiatkowski completed 13 of his 30 passes for 147 yards, two touchdowns and an interception. Dixon caught six passes for 65 yards and added a 47-yard punt return. Junior Frederick Reid (Fredericksburg, Va./Stafford) led the Averett defense with six total tackles, two fumble recoveries and a forced fumble. Jordan led the Bishops’ offensive attack by completing 18 of 27 passes for 250 yards and three touchdowns.

GAME 7: Averett 28, Greensboro 14 DANVILLE, Va. — Averett University turned big plays into touchdowns and held off Greensboro College for a 28-14 vic-tory on Homecoming at the Cougar Den. Averett (3-4, 2-2 USA South) enjoyed a 21-0 lead at half-time, but a pair of Greensboro touchdowns in a four-minute span quickly closed the gap. With the momentum shifting into Greensboro’s favor, sophomore cornerback Jeremy Clifton (Greenville, N.C./D. H. Conley) changed that in the blink of an eye. Clifton picked off Pride quarterback Mike Caparaso and returned the interception 46 yards for a touchdown, which gave Averett all the cushion it would need. The Cougars’ defense held Greensboro (2-5, 0-4 USA South) scoreless over the fi nal 12 minutes as senior linebacker Clyde Robinson (Fredericksburg, Va./Massaponax) intercepted Caparaso on the Averett goal line as time expired. Averett took its opening possession 62 yards for a score. Senior John Ellison (Cheraw, S.C./Cheraw) capped off the 10-play drive with a 2-yard touchdown run — his fi rst of the sea-son — to help give the Cougars a 7-0 lead with 10:24 to play. Sophomore running back Mark Williams (Gainesville, Fla./P. K. Younge) gave the Cougars a 14-0 lead after breaking a 28-yard touchdown down the right sideline for his fi rst score of the season. That six-play, 48-yard scoring drive was the result of a Greensboro fumble that linebacker Mario Huffman (Danville, Va./Tunstall) forced and senior defensive lineman Zack Morton (Mt. Pleasant, N.C./Mt. Pleasant) recovered. The Pride hoped to enter the locker rooms trailing by only two touchdowns at halftime, but sophomore Jeremy Dixon (Hawthorne, Fla./Hawthorne) spoiled those plans. Dixon re-turned a punt 50 yards for a touchdown with 20 seconds left in the second quarter to put Averett ahead 21-0. Still, Greensboro chipped away at Averett’s lead in the third quarter. After two of his receivers dropped touchdown catches, Caparaso found tight end Charlie Johnson on third down for a 4-yard score late in the third quarter. The Pride then took advantage of an Averett fumble and turned it into a 9-yard touchdown run by quarterback Calvin Bacon, which cut Averett’s lead to 21-14. Averett’s next drive stalled, and the Cougars were forced to punt to Greensboro. But on second down, Caparaso’s pass toward the sideline was picked by Clifton, shifting the momen-tum back into Averett’s favor while giving them a two-touch-down lead it wouldn’t relinquish. Although Averett dominated on the scoreboard, Greens-boro outgained the Cougars 349-205 in total yards on 26 more plays. But even when Averett’s offense couldn’t get things going, the defense made up for it. The Cougars made four interceptions and recovered two Greensboro fumbles. Junior cornerback Frederick Reid (Fredericksburg, Va./Stafford), who recovered two fumbles and forced a fumble last week against N.C. Wesleyan, led the way with two interceptions against Greensboro. Huffman led the Cougars with 14 total tackles. Linebacker Logan Smyth (Danville, Va./Chatham) added eight total tackles, including a sack, and recovered a fumble.

40 AVERETT UNIVERSITY COUGARS FOOTBALL

GAME 8: Averett 33, Shenandoah 21 WINCHESTER, Va. — Averett University put together a big second quarter and came from behind to beat Shenandoah University 33-21 at Shentel Stadium. Averett (4-4, 3-2 USA South) trailed 14-0 after one quar-ter, but the Cougars rattled off 27 points in the second quar-ter to take the lead for good. Averett, which was coming off a 28-14 win over Greensboro College last week, notched its fi rst two-game winning streak since 2006 when the Cougars beat Greensboro and Shenandoah in consecutive weeks. The Cougars began their charge late in the fi rst quarter, and their seven-play, 64-yard drive culminated with an 8-yard touchdown from quarterback Shan Fairbanks (Groveland, Fla./South Lake) to Anthony Squillini (Clayton, N.C./Clayton) on the fi rst play of the second quarter. Averett then recovered the ensuing kickoff on Shenando-ah’s 18-yard line when the Hornets misplayed the 54-yard kick. Five plays later, fullback Brian Daniels (Greenville, N.C./D.H. Conley) rumbled into the end zone to help knot the score at 14-14 with 12:53 to play in the fi rst half. After Averett’s defense slammed the door on Shenan-doah’s next drive, the Cougars found the end zone again. Fairbanks teamed up with Squillini for their second touchdown connection of the night, this time from 19 yards out. The Cougars added another touchdown on a 1-yard rush by Daniels to take a 27-14 lead, which they held when they went into the locker rooms for halftime. Averett pushed its lead to 33-14 late in the third quarter when Mark Williams (Gainesville, Fla./J.P. Younge) rushed for a 52-yard touchdown — his second game in a row with a touch-down run. Shenandoah (2-6, 1-4 USA South) scored a touchdown with less than four minutes to play in the fourth quarter, but it was too little too late for the Hornets. Fairbanks completed 15 of his 21 passes for 158 yards and two scores with one interception. Squillini had four catches on the night for 44 yards and a pair of touchdowns, while Jer-emy Dixon (Hawthorne, Fla./Hawthorne) added fi ve receptions for 70 yards. On the ground, Dontavious Watson (Tampa, Fla./Brandon) paced the Cougars with 18 carries for 86 yards. Linebacker Logan Smyth (Danville, Va./Chatham) led the Cougars defense with seven solo tackles, including one of Av-erett’s four sacks. Safety Justin McCauley (Kannapolis, N.C./Brown) had an interception.

GAME 9: Christopher 19, Averett 13 NEWPORT NEWS, Va. — Christopher Newport Univer-sity’s Jay Kirland picked off an Averett pass with under three minutes to play and the Captains ran out the clock to hold on for a 19-13 victory over the Cougars at Pomoco Stadium. Averett (4-5, 3-3 USA South) outscored Christopher Newport 13-3 in the second half, but the Cougars couldn’t overcome the hole they dug right before halftime. A Christopher Newport fi eld goal was all that separated the Captains (7-1, 6-0 USA South) and the Cougars for most of the fi rst half. Both teams struggled to get their offenses go-ing on soggy playing conditions after heavy rain soaked the fi eld during the fi rst quarter. But with three minutes to go in the second quarter, the Christopher Newport offense broke free. Running back Tunde Ogun took the fi rst play of the drive 75 yards down the left sideline for a touchdown to put the Captains ahead 10-0 following the extra point. Averett’s ensuing drive stalled and, after a punt, the Cou-gars got a break. On the Captains’ fi rst play from scrimmage, sophomore cornerback Jeremy Clifton (Greenville, N.C./D.H. Conley) picked off Matt Long, giving Averett the ball on its own 41-yard line with just over two minutes on the clock. Averett, however, turned the ball right back over with an interception on its fi rst play of the drive. The Captains capitalized six plays later when Long hit Ray Grenke for a 20-yard touchdown. Christo-pher Newport faked the extra point, but couldn’t get the two-point conversion. However, they still took a 16-0 lead into the locker rooms at the break. The Cougars got on the scoreboard for the fi rst time late in the third quarter. Sophomore Philip Kwiatkowski (Coral Springs, Fla./Taravella) found junior running back Dontavious Watson (Tampa, Fla.Brandon) out of the backfi eld for an 11-yard touchdown pass along the left side. Averett elected to go for two, but the conversion failed as Christopher Newport held a 16-6 advantage. The Captains drove down into the red zone on their next possession, but settled for a 25-yard fi eld goal from Jay Gra-ham with 13:21 left in the fourth quarter. Averett’s defense stuffed Christopher Newport on fourth down on the Captains’ next possession, which shifted the mo-mentum into the Cougars’ favor. Averett took over on its own 34-yard line and drove deep into CNU territory. With 6:49 to play, Kwiatkowski found junior Anthony Squillini (Clayton, N.C./Clayton) across the middle for a 24-yard touchdown. The extra point by senior Chris Ashcraft (Suffolk, Va./Lakeland) cut the CNU lead to 19-13. The Cougars defense forced the Captains to punt with just under three minutes to play, and Averett started its drive on its own 31-yard line. Kwiatkowski scrambled for a 13-yard gain to get the ball up to the Averett 44-yard line. But two plays later, Kwiatkowski threw downfi eld across the middle while on the run and Kirland picked off the pass to end the Averett threat. It was the Cougars’ fi fth turnover of the game.

GAME 10: Averett 20, Maryville 17 DANVILLE, Va. — A freshman saved the day for Aver-ett, allowing its 18 seniors to go out with a 20-17 victory over Maryville College in the Cougars’ season fi nale. Forced to punt with 1:31 left to play, Averett was giving Maryville one more shot to come from behind. But that chance lasted all of 10 seconds as Maryville’s Dustin Locke muffed the punt and Averett freshman Kevin Blyden fell on the loose ball. Maryville, which had no timeouts left, could only watch as the Cougars ran out the clock with a pair of kneels by senior quarterback Shan Fairbanks as the Averett players celebrated on the sideline. Averett rallied from an early defi cit to not only win on Se-nior Day, but end its season with a .500 overall record (5-5) and a 4-3 mark in the USA South Conference a year after fi nishing 0-10. After a scoreless fi rst quarter, Maryville (5-5, 4-3 USA South) got on the scoreboard with a 23-yard fi eld goal by Brad Daniell. Averett sophomore quarterback Philip Kwiatkowski threw an interception on the third play of the Cougars’ ensuing possession, and the Scots took advantage. Rommel Hightower took the fi rst play from scrimmage 12 yards for a touchdown to put Maryville ahead 10-0 with 10:23 left in the second quarter. Maryville then opted to try an on-side kick, but Averett recovered on the Scots’ 43-yard line. With good fi eld position, the Cougars eventually found the end zone on a 1-yard run by senior fullback Steven Oristian. Trailing 10-7, Averett took its opening possession of the second half seven plays for 80 yards, with the last 30 yards coming on junior Dontavious Watson’s touchdown run. The ex-tra point by senior Chris Ashcraft gave Averett its fi rst lead at 14-10. Watson found the end zone again at the start of the fourth quarter, scampering in from 21 yards out. The Cougars, how-ever, missed the extra point. The drive was set up after senior defensive back Brian Page recovered a fumble by Hightower deep in Averett territory. Maryville took its next drive 11 plays for 75 yards, which culminated with a 3-yard rush by Nick Moore, to cut Averett’s lead to 20-17 with 7:25 to play. A 15-yard facemask penalty by Averett on Maryville’s touchdown was assessed on the kickoff, giving the Cougars poor fi eld position. Averett went three-and-out, giving Maryville more than four minutes to either tie the game with a fi eld goal or take the lead with a touchdown. The Scots drove inside of Averett’s 30-yard line, but Hightower committed his second costly fumble of the day and Averett senior linebacker Clyde Robinson recovered the ball. With 2:35 to play, Averett needed only one fi rst down to be able to run out the clock. But the Cougars fell short and were forced to punt. That’s when Blyden saved the day with the fumble recovery on the punt and allowed Averett to escape with a 20-17 win.

JEFF HUGHLEY2003-2006Jeff Hughley, although small in stature, went on to become Averett’s most prolifi c receiver during his four seasons. He still holds the re-cords for receiving yards in a career (2,925), a season (940) and a game (163). His 221 career receptions and 31 career receiv-ing touchdowns are also program records. Hughley led the team in receptions all four seasons he suited up for the Cougars and he fi nished his career with nine 100-yard receiv-ing games. In addition to being a go-to re-ceiver, Hughley was also a solid return spe-cialist. He holds records for punt returns and punt return yards, which helped him set the Averett mark for all-purpose yards (4,267).

PASSING

SCOTT SWANN2002-2005Scott Swann helped establish Averett as an offensive force during his time in a Cougars uniform. Swann holds many of the team re-cords for passing attempts, passing comple-tions, completion percentage and passing yardage. His 4,736 career passing yards are not only an Averett record, they are a USA South Conference record. Swann, who missed most of his senior season due to a leg injury, fi nished his career with 30 touchdown passes and two 250-yard passing games.

COUGARS IN THE COMMUNITY

Averett University Athletics is committed to giving back to both the campus and surrounding Danville community. By providing opportunities for student-athletes to serve, these young men and women make meaningful contributions to society. Teams as well as individual student-athletes are involved in numerous charity and community organizations and events. Some student-athletes have also created, initiated and implemented service projects and activities in the community.

In 2008, the Averett football team spent the Monday of its bye week hard at work out in the community doing service projects in the Danville area. About 40 players worked at God’s Pit Crew’s warehouse on North Main Street. Players helped move concrete tiles and sorted them so that the tiles could be shipped to areas in need. Others helped wash the organization’s trucks.

“It’s good to get into the community,” said former football player Greg Harbaugh (’09), who was very active in the football team’s community service efforts during his four years. “It’s good for Averett and our program. It’s good for the freshmen to see how we can impact the community.”

Other players visited Hughes Home and helped scrape paint off Mount Zion Baptist Church. Averett’s student-athletes have also

taken the time to work on several Habitat for Humanity projects in the area during the school year and also teamed up to work with the Boys & Girls Club of Danville.

“It brings the team together working on projects like that,” Averett head football coach Mike Dunlevy said. “It also opens their eyes to how fortunate they are.”

As a whole, Averett University teamed up with the rest of the schools in the USA South Conference for an annual food drive during the fall. Averett collected canned goods and non-perish-able items and delivered them to God’s Storehouse in Danville just before Thanksgiving. Averett University donated 1,717 canned goods as a part of the USA South Conference’s Cans Across the Conference food drive in 2008. Averett’s donations, which totaled 1,090 pounds, went to God’s Storehouse in Dan-ville.

Across the conference, a record 22,807 cans were collected by the league’s 10 schools in 2008, which was the fi fth year of the can drive. The event was created by the members of the USA South Athletic Conference Student-Athlete Advisory Committee in order to help those in need around the holiday season.
