Football
TRADITION & PHILOSOPHY Averett football head coach Cleive Adams and his staff set their expectations of the team as soon as they arrived. The “Be A Man “motto, what the team refers to as “BAM”, was established to teach the players about the importance of character both on and off the field. The motto consists of seven principles that the coaches believe will help make the players responsible men and productive members of society: Have a Foundation of Faith: Though everyone may not have the same beliefs, the coaching staff thinks every athlete should have their own foundation of faith to establish hope. Give Back: Averett University prides itself on its service to the community and those in need. Student-athletes participate in com-

munity service projects year-round, and the football staff wants its players to learn how much of an impact they can make in the lives of others. Be a Gentleman/ Respect Women: Coach Adams and his staff want their players to be a positive representative of how a young man should behave as an individual and during his interaction with others, especially women. Be a Great Teammate: While the coaches believe it’s necessary for their players to focus on themselves in many aspects, they also know that in order to have a high caliber team with great players, each person must be willing to put the team first. A great teammate cheers for the team, pushes his teammates and sets a good
example both on and off the field. Compete in Life: Competition doesn’t only occur in sports. Competition happens everywhere, and it’s imperative for each member of the squad to put their foot forward to be a serious competitor in the world. Outwork your Competition: In order to be a contender, Averett’s football team knows how vital it is to go beyond what everyone else is doing to achieve desired results. Everyone must be willing Graduate from Averett: One of the biggest goals for the football team as well as the athletics department is to have studentathletes graduate. It is essential for players to understand the importance of receiving an education and a college degree.

MORE THAN FOOTBALL Averett football Ccach Cleive Adams and his staff emphasize developing a whole person, not just a football player. During a student-athlete’s four years at Averett, the coaches aim to teach their players skills that will help them be successful for the next 40 years of their life.
3-2-1 VISION The Averett Department of Athletics has a 3-2-1 vision for all sports programs. Averett Director of Athletics Meg Stevens created 3-2-1 vision for the department when she arrived in 2013. As part of that, she wants all teams to have an average grade point average of 3.0; wants all programs to finish in the top two of the conference standings; and wants the entire athletics department to function as one team.
SCHEDULE STRENGTH The Averett football program plays 10 regular season games, including seven USA South Conference contests. In addition to playing a tough conference slate, the Averett coaching staff looks to schedule strong non-conference opponents. In 2010, Averett played three NCAA playoff teams (Hampden-Sydney, Washington & Lee, Christopher Newport). The Cougars also defeated two conference champions, beating Old Dominion Athletic Conference winner Washington & Lee and USA South champion
Christopher Newport. Averett has also played national powerhouses such as the University of Mount Union. Since 2005, Averett has averaged at least one non-conference NCAA Tournament participant on its schedule.
STRENGTH & CONDITIONING PROGRAM The major goals of the Athletic Training and Strength and Conditioning departments at Averett are to reduce injuries and improve performance during competition and training. Averett provides a unique situation where we perform a Functional Movement screen on the athletes which determines their specific weaknesses. Based on these weaknesses a more individualized strength and performance program can be created. The Functional Movement Systems (www. functionalmovement.com) was co-created by Lee Burton, Averett’s former Program Director of Athletic Training who still serves as a consultant. Burton and co-creator Gray Cook are internationally known consultants in their field and their Functional Movement screening system is used by numerous NFL, NHL and MLB teams for rehabilitating injured players, as well as for strength and conditioning.
ATHLETIC TRAINING Averett’s Athletic Training staff is composed of four certified trainers who work closely with a student staff member majoring in athletic training.

DALY FIELD
& ATHLETICS FACILITIES
Averett plays on Daly Field, the university’s newest athletics event facility, which was completed during the summer of 2014. Daly Field, home of Averett’s football and soccer programs, features state-of-the-art synthetic turf — the same turf used at several National Football League venues — and lights. Phase 1 of the $6.5 million sports complex was completed in August in time for the 2014 fall season. Phase 2, which will begin construction following the 2015 season, will include a multi-story press box, seating for 2,000 fans, a new stadium entrance and other amenities. The sports complex project is part of the university’s expanded strategic plan that includes raising
money for scholarships, increasing technology to support teaching, Pritchett Auditorium expansion (also completed in 2014) and adding other learning initiatives. The university also envisions that the new sports complex will benefit the Danville community economically by providing a facility that can host local and regional athletics events. Averett University strives to be a catalyst for positive change in the Danville community. This facility will help accomplish that goal. For example, this facility can do for Danville what the Smith River Sports Complex, which hosts numerous soccer tournaments and other events, has done for Martinsville.

USA SOUTH CONFERENCE 2 COLOR, BLUE BG

One of the oldest Division III conferences in the nation, the USA South Conference was born as the Dixie Intercollegiate Athletic Conference in 1963 when six institutions 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 financial 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 Conference. The name change was made official on July 1, 2003, and the first USA South Athletic Conference championships were awarded in the fall of 2003. The Conference was originally affiliated with the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) and remained with that affiliation 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 first 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 national 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, 1 COLOR, WHITE BG

men’s and women’s tennis, golf and women’s lacrosse for a total of 14 sports. Presently, the Conference features 13 institutions, five in North Carolina, three in Georgia, three in Virginia, one in Alabama and one in Tennessee. Averett University, Covenant College, Ferrum College, Greensboro College, Huntingdon College, LaGrange College, Mary Baldwin College, Maryville College, Meredith College, Piedmont College and William Peace University have joined Methodist and N.C. Wesleyan and make up today’s conference fulltime membership. The USA South will welcome three new members in 2016-17 as Agnes Scott College, Salem College and Wesleyan College bring the total membership to 16 institutions. Longtime member Christopher Newport University left the USA South Conference in football after the 2014 season.

DANVILLE, Va. — Averett University football opened its 2014 season with a thrilling 20-17 non-conference victory over Washington and Lee University in front of a packed crowd at the new Daly Field. Averett (1-0) broke a 17-17 tie on junior Hobie Proctor’s 28-yard field goal with 4:31 to play, and the Cougars’ defense came up with several big stops in the final minutes to help Averett prevail and snap an 11-game home losing streak. Washington and Lee (0-1) opened the game with a 15-play, 83yard drive that culminated in a 2-yard rushing touchdown for Marshall Hollerith. Yet, Averett answered right back. Senior quarterback Kirkland Brown led the Cougars right back down the field for a 15-play drive of their own. Junior running back Xavier Morgan capped it off with a 20-yard touchdown run to help tie the game at 7-7 with 1:41 left in the first quarter. Averett took its first lead of the game on its third drive. The Cougars got down into the Washington and Lee red zone and settled for a 29-yard field goal by Proctor with 4:40 to go in the second quarter. Just as Averett had answered Washington and Lee earlier in the game, the Generals marched down the field on their ensuing position and kicked a 26-yard field goal as time expired to tie the game at 10-10 entering halftime. The teams traded touchdowns in the second half before Proctor connected on the game-winner and Averett’s defense held the Generals scoreless in the final minutes.

ASHLAND, Va. — Randolph-Macon College defeated the Averett University 48-16. Randolph-Macon (1-1) scored midway through the first quarter on Zac Nacarrato’s quarterback keeper and again on John Byrd’s 3-yard run to put the Yellow Jackets ahead 14-0 with 2:55 on the clock in the first quarter. Averett (1-1) struggled to find its offensive rhythm in the beginning of the game, but the Cougars managed to gradually work their way up the field into Randolph-Macon’s territory for the first time to end the quarter in good field position. The Cougars went into the second quarter on the Yellow Jackets’ 35-yard line. Travis Jones began the drive with a 4-yard run, but the Cougars were pushed back 5 yards after a false start on the second down. Averett tried to regain composure on third-and-15 as senior quarterback Kirkland Brown scrambled in the backfield searching for a wide receiver and found sophomore Brandon Couden for a 36-yard touchdown pass to close the lead to 14-7. The reception was Couden’s first career touchdown. Though the Yellow Jackets answered with another touchdown, Brown cut the deficit to 21-14 when he connected with Couden again for his second touchdown of the day on a 22-yard pass with 6:31 left to play in the first half. It was all Randolph-Macon after that as the Cougars were held to two points the rest of the way.
DANVILLE, Va. — For about the first 35 minutes, Averett had defending conference champion Maryville College on its heels. However, a few miscues in the second half helped shift the momentum in the Scots’ favor, helping Maryville hand Averett a 40-17 loss in their USA South Conference opener. Averett’s special teams, powered by freshman Travis Jones, dominated the first quarter to give the Cougars an early edge. Although Maryville (2-1, 1-0 USA South) took a 7-0 lead in the opening minutes of the first quarter, Averett (1-2, 0-1 USA South) answered immediately. Jones returned the ensuing kickoff 90 yards for a touchdown to help tie the game. Maryville inched ahead 10-7 on a field goal on the Scots’ next possession, but Jones struck again late in the quarter. Jones raced through traffic for a 75-yard punt return for a touchdown to put Averett ahead 14-10 with 3:29 left in the quarter. Averett added a 21-yard field goal by junior Hobie Proctor to increase its lead to 17-10 early in the second quarter, and the Cougars’ defense held Maryville to a field goal before the end of the half to secure a 17-13 advantage over the USA South preseason favorite entering the break. The Cougars had a punt blocked early in the third quarter and Maryville took the momentum. The Scots turned it into a rushing touchdown a player later and added a third touchdown later in the quarter and the one more score in the fourth quarter to pull away.

LAGRANGE, Ga. — LaGrange College’s Graham Craig scored the game-winning touchdown on a 5-yard run with 1:36 left in the fourth quarter to help the Panthers edge the Averett 30-29. Until Craig’s touchdown, Averett (1-3, 0-2 USA South) led the entire way putting points on the scoreboard early in the first quarter when junior Drew Evans connected with wide receiver Terrance Owens II for an 88-yard touchdown pass. LaGrange (3-1, 1-1 USA South) fumbled the ball twice in two possessions, both recovered by Jordan Bobo, and the Cougars maintained their offensive and defensive momentum. On third-and-26 midway through the first quarter, cornerback Dontae Gilbert picked off Craig’s pass at the LaGrange 32-yard line and was taken down by Griffin Roelle 3 yards short of the end zone. Running back Ray Brown ran the ball in for the Cougars immediately after, but Hobie Proctor’s extra point attempt was blocked as Averett took a 13-0 lead. Coming into the second quarter, Averett was inside the red zone for another opportunity to score, but LaGrange’s Larry Murdock recovered an Averett fumble to spot the ball on the Panthers’ 7-yard line. Despite the turnover, the Cougars were able to capitalize as junior defensive end Matt Smith sacked Craig in the end zone for a safety and 15-point lead. With three minutes remaining in the first half, LaGrange finally answered after three scoreless possessions. Averett led 22-7 at halftime after Brown’s second touchdown.

Wesleyan (3-2, 2-1 USA South) took the lead in the final seconds. The Bishops, who rallied from a 17-point deficit in the second half, tied the game at 27-27 with 3:46 to play. Averett, however, answered with junior Hobie Proctor’s 29-yard field goal with 45 seconds remaining to give the Cougars a 30-27 advantage and put the Bishops’ backs against the wall. A short kickoff, a big return and a 15-yard penalty on Averett at the end of the play gave N.C. Wesleyan the ball on the Cougars’ 45yard line with 38 seconds left. The Bishops took advantage, quickly moving deep into Averett territory. Facing a fourth-and-1 from the Averett 22, N.C. Wesleyan backup quarterback Dustin Midgett found Dwayne Bishop for a 22-yard touchdown pass across the middle with 15 seconds to play. It was the second consecutive week in which the Cougars never trailed in a game for the first 58-plus minutes before an opponent rallied for a go-ahead score late and give Averett a heartbreaking road loss. The tough loss overshadowed a career game for Brown, who ran for two touchdowns and a career-high 195 rushing yards. SCORE BY QUARTERS Averett N.C. Wesleyan

DANVILLE, Va. — Averett University football fell to conference foe Christopher Newport University 38-7, spoiling the program’s first-ever night home game in front of a record 2,872 fans on Homecoming. Averett (1-5, 0-4 USA South) fed off the crowd’s enthusiasm to open the game. The Cougars drove down the field, only to have a pass intercepted in the end zone. Christopher Newport (4-3, 4-1 USA South) took the ensuing drive 73 yards, capped off by Daquan Davis’ 16-yard touchdown run to give the Captains a 7-0 lead in the first quarter. Davis added another rushing touchdown, this time from 2 yards out, to push CNU’s lead to 14-0 early in the second quarter. The Cougars responded with another long drive that came up empty. Deep in Captains territory, Averett threw another interception, which was picked off by Cameron Barlow and returned 91 yards for a touchdown to increase CNU’s lead to three touchdowns. CNU added a 4-yard touchdown pass before the end of the half to help the Captains take a 28-0 advantage into the locker rooms. After CNU added a 39-yard field goal on its first possession of the third quarter, Averett’s offense came through with a scoring drive. Quarterback Kirkland Brown led a 10-play, 65-yard drive that Brown completed with a 13-yard touchdown run around the right corner, trimming the deficit to 31-7 with 6:44 left in in the quarter. However, that was as close as Averett would get to the Captains, who added a Morrast touchdown run on the first play of the fourth quarter.

DANVILLE, Va. —Ferrum College held off Averett University 26-14 at Daly Field.Ferrum’s defensive pressure disrupted Averett’s offense on multiple drives in the second half, leading to several costly turnovers that hurt the Cougars’ chances at a comeback following a 7-0 deficit at halftime. The Panthers forced an interception and a pair of fumbles in the second half and sealed the game with a sack in the end zone for a safety. Although both teams struggled offensively in the first half, Ferrum (1-6, 1-4 USA South) managed to put together a scoring drive midway through the second quarter by taking advantage of a short field. The Panthers drive 46 yards on seven plays to go ahead 7-0 on quarterback Tim Reynolds’ 4-yard touchdown run. Averett (1-6, 0-5 USA South), however, got some momentum late in the third quarter with the help of a trick play. The Cougars took advantage of a poor Ferrum punt that netted only 10 yards. On the first play from scrimmage, backup quarterback Drew Evans swung a lateral pass out to receiver Bryan Finney, who stopped and threw a 43-yard touchdown pass to Michael Barbour, who was wide open down the field. The score, trimmed Ferrum’s lead to 10-7 with 3:19 left in the quarter. The momentum was short-lived as Ferrum answered with a long scoring drive that crept into the fourth quarter. Reynolds found Troy Helton across the middle, and Helton broke several tackles 19 yards later to get into the end zone and help the Panthers extend their lead to 17-7.

KYLE WILSON 2003-2006
Kyle Wilson owns most of Averett’s individual rushing records for a career, season and a single game. The Maugansville, Md., native rushed for 3,046 career yards on 578 carries and 33 touchdowns. No other Cougar is within 1,400 yards, 180 carries or 20 touchdowns of Wilson’s career feats. Wilson’s mark of six touchdowns in a single game is a USA South Conference record for most rushing touchdowns and most total touchdowns in a game. Wilson became the program’s first All-American when the Football Gazette selected him to the Second Team in 2006. Wilson was also a three-time USA South All-Conference selection.

JEFF HUGHLEY 2003-2006
Jeff Hughley, although small in stature, went on to become Averett’s most prolific receiver during his four seasons. He still holds the records for receiving yards in a career (2,925) and a season (940). His 221 career receptions and 31 career receiving touchdowns are also program records. Hughley led the team in receptions all four seasons he suited up for the Cougars and he finished his career with nine 100-yard receiving games. In addition to being a go-to receiver, Hughley was also a solid return specialist. He holds records for punt returns and punt return yards, which helped him set the Averett mark for allpurpose yards (4,267).

SCOTT SWANN 2002-2005
Scott Swann helped establish Averett as an offensive force during his time in a Cougars uniform. Swann holds many of the team records for passing attempts, passing completions, 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, finished his career with 30 touchdown passes and two 250-yard passing games.

Oct. 11, 2003: Averett 21 – Methodist 14 The Setup: The Monarchs were the first to strike in this contest, when Chris Roncketti scored on a 10-yard rush. Averett answered in the second quarter with a Todd Parsons to Wes Taylor pass, but the Cougars missed the two-point conversion. Methodist scored once more on another Roncketti rush, to bring the score to 14-6 at the half. The Finish: After the Cougars missed a field goal, Methodist immediately fumbled the ball giving Averett another chance. Tracey Smithers scored the touchdown, and Parsons hit Jeff Hughley on the two-point conversion to tie the game. About two minutes later, Anthony Morris intercepted a pass deep in Monarch territory, and returned the ball 80 yards for the winning touchdown. REMOVE BACKGROUND BEFORE PRINTING

Oct. 18, 2003: Averett 32 – Huntingdon 28 The Setup: After an 80-yard drive in the first quarter ended in a Hawk touchdown, Huntingdon struck again with an interception return to give them a two-touchdown advantage. The Hawks maintained 14-point lead into the halftime break. The Finish: Returning from the break, the Cougars struck hard and fast three times, including an Izaih Harris rush, a Scott Swann to Thamar Davis pass, and an Anthony Morris interception return, to take the lead. Huntingdon drove the ball once more to take the lead in the opening minute of the fourth quarter. However, Averett sealed the deal with 1:17 remaining when Harris scored the winning touchdown. Oct.25, 2003: Averett 16 – Greensboro 14 The Setup: The Cougars took an early lead on a field goal and a Swann-Hughley pass, but the Pride managed a score with 49 seconds remaining in the first half, shaving the Averett lead to three points. Halfway through the fourth quarter, Greensboro finally took the lead when Jamal Licorish finished an 80-yard drive. The Finish: After Greensboro took the lead, the Cougars answered immediately when Swann hit Hughley for another touchdown. The Cougars missed the extra point attempt, giving them a two-point lead. With 31 seconds remaining in the contest, Greensboro set up for what would be the winning field goal, but Anthony Morris saved the Cougar victory by blocking the kick. Sept. 4, 2004: Averett 21 – Maryville 14 (2 OT) The Setup: The Cougars took the early advantage with a fumble recovery for a touchdown by Nick Tigue, and a touchdown pass from Swann to Hughley. Averett maintained the 14-0 lead through the half. In the second half however, the Fighting Scots scored two touchdowns in the fourth to tie the game and force overtime. The Finish: In the first overtime period, the Cougars stopped Maryville at the two-yard line preventing a score. On the following drive, James Thurnes just missed the field goal attempt, forcing a second overtime. In the second OT, the Cougars needed just two plays to gain 25 yards and the score, and followed that up with a defensive stand that included a 9-yard tacklefor-loss and a 6-yard sack. Oct. 2, 2004: Averett 46 – Ferrum 44 (3 OT) The Setup: After Ferrum scored the first touchdown on a fumble recovery in the end zone, the two teams within one touchdown of each other for the rest of the game. The score was tied at the half, and Ferrum took the lead in the fourth when Terrell Mulford capped a 90-yard drive. The Cougars scored last in regulation, tying the game at 28-28 on another Swann-Hughley TD pass. The Finish: In the first overtime, each team managed a field goal, including a 40-yarder by James Thurnes. In the second overtime, each team managed a rushing touchdown. In the final frame, Robert Mack scored for the Panthers, but Anthony Morris intercepted the required twopoint conversion. Averett answered with a touchdown from Sadane Munoz, and then Swann and Hughley connected again for the winning two-point conversion. Sept. 3, 2005: Averett 31 – Maryville 28 The Setup: Maryville scored the first touchdown but missed the two-point conversion, and Averett answered with a Wes Taylor touchdown to take the lead 7-6. Averett scored again when Jeff Hughley returned a punt for a touchdown, but Maryville answered when Hubert Payne scored his second touchdown, and the Scots converted two-points, tying the game at 14-14. Just before the half ended, Scott Swann was forced out of the game with a broken leg. The Finish: In the second half, Maryville scored right out of the gates, taking the kickoff and driving 63 yards in 6 plays to take the lead. Averett, led by freshman Shan Fairbanks, engineered the next three scoring drives including a field goal and two Kyle Wilson touchdowns. Maryville scored once more, but was unable to return from the Cougar rally. Oct. 15, 2005: Averett 38 – N.C. Wesleyan 32 The Setup: N.C. Wesleyan scored a touchdown to open the game, and extended their lead in the second quarter to 14-0. Kyle Wilson scored the first Cougar TD with 6:15 left in the half, but the Bishops managed another score before the break, taking the 17-6 lead in to the locker room at the half. The Finish: The Cougars opened the second half with a touchdown. After the ensuing kickoff, Duane Alston intercepted a pass, and the Cougars scored again to take the lead.
