Alfred State

Dotson ready to guide Pioneers First-year head coach excited about leading ASC’s transition into Division III

By CHUCK POLLOCK Olean Times Herald

ALFRED — After 17 years as an assistant at five different stops Jarod Dotson felt it was time for his own football program.

His resume was about as complete as it could be.

In two stops at his alma mater, the University of South Dakota, one as a grad assistant, plus one each at Michigan Tech, the University at Buffalo, Old Dominion and the South Dakota School of Mines, Dodson had worked both sides of the ball, plus special teams, though his specialty was defense.

And when the job opened at Alfred State, where Mick Caba retired after a 15-year career (6681), Dodson applied. His decision was partially influenced by the fact that he had a previous relationship with ASC’s athletic director, Kelly Higgins, a South Dakota alumnus, who also held that same position at that school.

Then, too, while Alfred State wasn’t exactly in the rebuilding mode, it was clearly in transition, midway through the fouryear probation period as the school was going from

After 17 years as an assistant at five difference colleges, Jarod Dotson has gotten his first head coaching job at Alfred State College where he is replacing Mick Caba.

being a member of the National Junior College Athletic Association to the NCAA Division III. After sorting through 77 applications of coaching hopefuls, the search committee chose the 40-year-old Dotson to take over the Pioneers.

AND THE former collegiate defensive back isn’t intimidated by Alfred State’s switch from a two- to a fouryear program.

“I had a lot of great experiences with some really good coaches and I’ve always been part of building programs,” he said. “Michigan Tech,

South Dakota and the transition from Div. II to Div. I, OId Dominion’s program was just starting, had played one year, and we helped build a championship program there and the same thing at South Dakota Mines.

“It’s in me to try to build programs so when I saw the transition happening here, I thought, ‘This is a fit.’

And a challenge going from a junior college to a four-year school.

Alfred State has 3,500 students, nearly double those at Alfred University, directly across the road, and a likely future opponent.

But there’s a difference between the two schools, even though they’re both four-year programs.

“We’re kind of looking at the same student/ athletes because they want guys who are rich in character and we want guys who are rich in character,” Dodson admitted. “They want guys who love football, we want guys who love football.

“But I think we offer totally different things.

They have tradition and we have innovation. We want to be innovative and on the cutting edge and have

athletes who really thrive on building. They want athletes who want to be part of a rich tradition.”

He added, “When it comes down to it, we want guys who want to build a program. Do they believe what we believe? I’ve recruited at schools that were more expensive and you sell value versus cost.

“We’re trying to find the heart of the person and I think we offer incredible academics.

I came here because it gives real-world chances to See Alfred State, page 4

be successful without the high sticker price.”

Indeed, there were some two-year students among the 100 players Dodson welcomed to the opening of practice in mid-August.

“We’ll always offer Associate degrees,” said Paul Welker, Alfred State’s assistant athletic director for external communications/sports information director. “But every one of those majors can lead to a four-year degree.”

And Dodson sees that as a plus.

“If a student/athlete is here for two years, his football experience might encourage him to stay for the other two and get a 4-year diploma,” he said. “But some may only stay for two years and I understand that. I played in junior college before moving on to South Dakota.”

It was there that Dodson was bitten by the urge to coach.

MONDAY, AUGUST 31, 2015

“We had a coaching change my senior year and they needed somebody to help with the defensive backs and I stepped in and loved it,” he said. “As soon as I became a football coach, I knew I wanted to be a head coach and I’ve sought different experiences throughout my career.”

After graduating with a degree in recreation, Dodson visited high schools in the Vermillion, S.D. area offering to be a non-paid assistant.

There were no takers.

So he returned to his alma mater where he worked as a graduate assistant while getting his masters and being mentored by Higgins.

And after those five assistant coaching stops, Dodson now has his own program and his first experience with those added responsibilities.

“You never prepare for that.,” he admitted. “It’s been an incredible shock how much non-football issues and meetings that you go to and

you miss the aspects of football that you enjoy most.”

Dodson took the job late, being hired in April, and inherited Caba’s staff, all of whom are now gone.

Three of his eight new assistants are full-time, but all work at Alfred State.

“None of them has another job (away from the college),” he said. “I like the idea that they’re on-campus … they’re eight good men who are dedicated — 60-hour weeks — and are good teachers, mentors and developers.”

And they all have open minds.

Dodson didn’t pore over the films of last year’s team to determine what he had coming back.

“We’re going to allow them to make their own impressions on us because I don’t want whatever relationships they had in the past to affect us,” he explained. “We’ll put them out there to see their athletic

ability and allow our coaches to sculpt them.”

And while his pedigree is defense, this season Dodson will work with the offense this season, particularly the quarterbacks.

“We’ll probably put it a fourth of our total offense going into this season,” he said. “We’ll try to keep it simple. You’re really trying to set a culture more than anything.

We will not sacrifice culture for winning games.”

Dodson’s emphasis on character hasn’t gone unnoticed.

Bills’ assistant offensive line coach Kurt Anderson, a long-time buddy, maintained, “Jarod is an incredible football mind. As good of a ball coach as he is, he’s an even better husband, father, and friend.

“If you want your son to play for someone that will help him in all facets of his life, guide him mentally, physically, and spiritually, send him to Alfred State to play for Jarod Dodson.”

Saxons working towards a ‘special’ season Rankl begins second season looking to improve upon a 5-5 finish in 2014

By CHUCK POLLOCK Olean Times Herald

ALFRED — It started so well, Bob Rankl could have been forgiven for thinking, “This is easy.”

But the first-year Alfred University football coach knew better.

Last fall, after taking over for Dave Murray barely three months earlier, his Saxons got off to a 3-0 start.

Then came a three gamelosing streak: 17-6 to Ithaca, 34-30 to Hartwick and 45-42 to Brockport.

Two more wins were followed by a pair of three touchdown losses to Utica and St. John Fisher.

It all translated to a 5-5 season which Rankl called,

“tremendously disappointing to me. There’s high expectations at Alfred University within our football program and I expect much more from us than being a .500 football team.

“We got off to a great start, then had a three-game losing streak in the middle, which was very difficult to deal with for me. But a couple of things I brought away, after having some time to look at it, we were very close to being an 8or 9-win team last year.”

And Rankl knows why the Saxons weren’t.

“The difference, no doubt, after evaluating the film comes down to one major deficiency in our football team … and that’s special

Bob Rankl is in his seccond season at Alfred U.

teams,” he said. “We finished at the top of the Empire 8 in a lot of categories offensively and defensively. But special teams were not good and that’s something we’ve completely committed to being a lot better at this year.

“That’s special teams across the board, not one specific area, and we’re going to be better.”

Rankl pointed out of last season, “I put the same amount of focus that we (always) have on special teams here, but we’re doubling that focus. Maybe we didn’t put enough focus on it last year. “ I don’t want to place it on any individual person because it wasn’t … it wasn’t the kicker or the punter.

It was issues all across the board, some injuries in different areas that didn’t help.

“Statistically you look at our special teams and it’s just an area that we didn’t do very well in,” he said. “Field position in every game we were at a tremendous disadvantage. We were being asked to drive an average of 15 yards (farther than) our opponents. That makes a big difference in a football game

Alfred U. photo

… something we’ve got to get better in.”

Rankl has the core personnel this season.

He returns 30 lettermen, though losing 12 to graduation.

Seven starters each are back on offense and defense.

Alfred’s attack will be led by junior quarterback Tyler Johnson who passed for 1,828 yards and 15 touchdowns and ran for a team-best 916 yards with eight touch-

downs. The 2013 Empire 8 Rookie of the Year was a second team all-star last fall.

Left tack;e Kevin Lamarque was also second-team E8.

Finally, wide receiver Brendan Buisch led the team in receiving yards (566) and touchdown catches (eight).

On defense. Mike Berardi of Wellsville starts at free safety and was third on the team in tackles last season.

Tackle Zach Brinkley was second-team all-conference as was middle linebacker Corry Wallace.

Outside linebacker A.J. Licata, though taking over at midseason, led the Empire 8 in forced fumbles (four).

There’s also a welcome return for Rankl.

Back is wide receiver/running back Maleke Fuentes, the former Olean High star who has returned to school after leaving last year.

“We’re really excited about having him as part of our football program again,” the coach said. “He was the Rookie of the Year as a freshman. Sophomore year he broke his collarbone early in the season and got a medical redshirt and then took a year off from school.”

Big 30 going ‘old school’ for a new look

By J.P. BUTLER

Olean Times Herald

For the last several seasons, we’d only lost teams.

And for a seven-year stretch, they seemed to drop like flies.

From 2007 through the start of last year, the number of Big 30 football programs fell by seven, or 25 percent of the number (28) it had been in that ‘07 campaign.

The reasons varied. Three — Archbishop Walsh and Hinsdale in 2009 and West

Valley in 2010 — dropped their teams entirely; two — Johnsonburg in 2013 and Ellicottville last year — merged with other programs (Ridgway and Franklinville, respectively) — while two others — St. Marys and Gowanda — were let go as a result of a lack of Big 30 schools on their schedules and residing on the outskirts of the Times Herald’s coverage area.

It all led to a once 30-plus team landscape being

reduced to a low of 21 squads in the 2014 campaign.

This year, however, is different.

For the first time since 2012 and only the third time in the last eight years, the Big 30 isn’t down a team from the year before. In fact, it’s gained one.

By virtue of having two other area teams (Bradford High and Ridgway) on its schedule and considering it has always had a presence in the Don Raabe Big 30

Charities Classic, St. Marys Public once again has a home in the Big 30, albeit as a fifth fringe school, in 2015.

That makes for 22 Big 30 programs for the coming season and a different narrative altogether from the all-toocommon “shrinking number of schools” storyline.

The Flying Dutchmen were last a member of the Big 30 in 2007, when under Joe Schlimm, they went 8-4 with a loss to Bradford High in the District 9 Class

AAA championship game.

They’ll be back this year under Tony Defilippi, with former Cameron County and Ridgway boss Mark Morelli serving as one of his assistant coaches.

Other notable storylines heading into Week 1 of the 2015 high school season:

League Changes

As a result of co-ops and the shifting of teams between classifications, the leagues in which our Big 30 programs reside always seem to be changing, and this year is no different.

Two of the more significant changes will be happening in Western New York Class D (Section 6) and the Livingston County (Section 5) leagues.

In the last three years, WNY Class D has gone from a D and DD division to one eight-team division (with the top four squads battling for a sectional crown and the bottom four playing for a bowl title) to, in 2015, a seven-team division with an all-inclusive playoff.

The league dropped from eight to seven teams with Sherman/Clymer merging with Panama. That prompted the change in the playoff format. Now, all seven teams will be included in the sectional playoffs with the top overall seed getting a bye into the second round.

Livingston County, meanwhile, has gone from three generally five-team divisions to two eight-team Please see Overview, page 9

leagues. Wellsville, a Class C school, will be a Division I team while Cuba-Rushford and Bolivar-Richburg, Class D programs, will be Division II teams.

Other amendments include: WNY Class B: Will go from a seven-team to a fiveteam league with East Aurora shifting over to WNY Class B East and Eden dropping its program for the 2015 season.

Olean and Pioneer will each only play six regular-season games.

District 10, Region 5: Bradford High’s league will go from a five-team to a sixteam division, keeping its same five members from last year and adding Conneaut.

The Allegheny Mountain League (District 9 Pennsy programs) and WNY Class C South (home of AlleganyLimestone and Salamanca) will remain unchanged in the coming season.

The AML Factor

It was one of the most noted early storylines from last season.

For the first four weeks of the 2014 campaign, the Allegheny Mountain League’s two divisions played exclusively interleague contests, with the South holding a dominant edge over the North.

The final numbers?

They’re staggering.

The AML South went a perfect 20-0 versus the North, winning those games by an average score of 38.3 to 7.4 (the total score was 766-148).

Along the way, the South posted six shutouts while only giving up more than two scores on one occasion (Elk County Catholic’s 50-23 triumph over Sheffield).

Some of the North teams improved tremendously as the year wore along, and not just by virtue of playing each other. Cameron County, for instance, won four of its final See Overtime, page 9

Playoff review

Randolph led way in 2014

Cardinals with third straight state championship

By JIM MELARO

Olean Times Herald

It was about a dozen years ago when former Randolph Central School football coach Pat Slater made a bold statement.

During a preseason football trip in 2003, the mostlysubdued Cardinal mentor let the following slip, “I look at the kids we have in the (school) system now and I see some pretty good athletes all way down through the fifth grade.”

It would appear Slater underestimated the toddlers

who were attending some elementary school grades at the time.

Randolph became the first area football team on either side of the Big 30 border to capture a state championship taking the New York State Class D title in 2005. But Slater was looking down the road to 2012.

The Cardinals now own five state crowns, including the last three in Class D. A year ago, Brent Brown, who replaced Slater on the Cardinals sidelines after the 2012 season, opened the year with a 24-12 loss to Maple Grove.

One might have gotten the notion that the magic, after 23 straight victories and a pair of state titles might be over.

But five Big 30 AllStar selections, including Offensive Player of the Year,

quarterback Bryce Morrison, wouldn’t hear of it.

Twelve games later, after dispatching Chester in one of the most entertaining games of the NYS Championship weekend, the Cardinals owned their fourth state championship plaque, courtesy of a 48-41 win that was not decided until Morrison intercepted a Chester pass in the final 20 seconds.

Randolph’s postseason run last year lifted the Cardinals record in championship tournaments since 1979, the first year Section 6 held its postseason class tournament, to an amazing 30-13, and its mark in regional and state competition to 15-2.

But the Cardinals weren’t the only Big 30 team to celebrate a postseason title in a season ago.

Also in Section 6, Portville capped a 5-4 campaign by winning two games in the section’s Class DD tournament.

And while the Panthers ended their season with a 33-14 win over Frewsburg at Ralph Wilson Stadium, that was as far as they could go because Section 6 only sent its Class D winner to the state tournament.

Meanwhile, on the Pennsylvania side of the Big 30 border, Kane came six points away from going 9-0 in the regular season.

The Wolves dropped a trio of one-point decisions after opening the year 4-0.

Coach Todd Silfies’ squad lost to Ridgway (21-20), Curwensville (7-6) and Elk County Catholic (13-12) before running off three more wins to capture the District 9 Class A crown.

A 50-14 loss to Sharpsville in the first round of the PIAA Class A tournament ended the year for Kane at 9-4.

A week-by-week look at the top games to watch in the Big 30

By JIM MELARO

Olean Times Herald

There’s little doubt, high school football is one of the most anticipated seasons for Big 30 sports fans.

Every year, fans will circle certain dates on their calendars, looking forward to rivalry matchups.

Then, as the seasons progress, fans will also look forward to games that have playoff implications.

Hence, we’ve looked ahead to the 2015 Big 30 football campaign and put together a list of games we feel should draw big crowds and tons of interest.

Here we go, from Week 1 through Week 10, the top games to watch::

WEEK ONE Sept. 4

Bradford High at St. Marys Public, 7 p.m.

A year ago, the Dutchmen won a close one, 19-14, at Parkway Field. It would be the least number of points the Owls would give up in a single game during a 2-8 campaign. St. Marys, on the other hand, would go on to finish with an 8-4 mark and a trip to the District 9 Class AA title game where Karns City won, 49-12 Cattaraugus-Little Valley at Portville, 7 p.m.

The Timberwolves prevailed when the two teams met in Week 5 a year ago, 26-7.

While each team finished 2014 with a record of 5-4, it would

be Portville ending with a little more to cheer about as the Panthers capped their year with a 33-14 win over Frewsburg in the Section 6 Class DD title game at Ralph Wilson Stadium. Just one of a handful of Big 30 games

involving Class D teams that still draws a good crowd.

28-6. The loss would be the first of four in a row for what would be a 4-4 season for the Huskies. This year, East Aurora has been bumped into Section 6 Class B

East Aurora/Holland at Olean High, 7 p.m.

When the two teams met in Week 5 a year ago, East Aurora beat Olean High,

2014 in review Kane (9-4) won four straight games before losing to Sharpsville in D-9 A final.

Noteworthy

A bizarre aspect to the Wolves’ season was three one-point losses (Ridgway/ Johnsonburg, Curwensville and Elk County Catholic), otherwise Kane would have entered the District 9 Class A playoffs with a 12-0 record.

Outlook

“We have five or six starters back on each side of the ball that won our second District 9 championship,” Silfies said, “but we also have a lot of uncertainty and some real battles at both quarterback and tailback.”

games to watch Continued from page 16

Olean High at Pioneer, 7 p.m.

Central, meaning this will be a nonleague contest for both squads. Had EA remained in the Class B South Division, OHS coach Mike Kane indicated that everybody would be chasing the Blue Devils for the league’s regular-season crown.

Pioneer prevailed in their regularseason finale for both teams a year ago, 14-6. It was a year that saw Pioneer start slow (0-4) and go on to win a pair of matchup games to finish 5-4, OHS, on the other hand, got off to a fast start (4-0) and stumbled to a 4-4 campaign.

WEEK TWO Sept. 11

WEEK THREE Sept. 18

Bolivar-Richburg at Cuba-Rushford, 7:30 p.m.

Interesting Livingston County Division II matchup which will see former B-R coach Dave Baron on the C-R sidelines as an assistant for Rebels coach Chris Fee. C-R won in Week 3 a year ago, 46-8.

Franklinville-Ellicottville at Cattaraugus-Little Valley, 7 p.m.

It was a wide-open offensive assault from both teams in their Week 6 matchup a year ago.

Franklinville-Ellicottville, which has adopted a new mascot for this year (the merged squad will now be called the Titans), won the highscoring affair, 56-20.

Falconer-Cassadaga Valley at Allegany-Limestone, 7 p.m.

The Gators will look to reverse a 14-0 loss on the road a year ago. A-L topped Falconer-CV two years ago (46-6) and three years ago (19-6).

Portville at Franklinville/Ellicottville, 7 p.m.

Then known as the Eagles when they played their home games in Ellicottville and the Panthers when they hosted an opponent in Franklinville, F-E capped a 7-1 regular season with a dominating 48-13 win Portville a year ago. This time around, Portville gets to play at home where they won, 19-8, two years ago.

WEEK FOUR Sept. 25 Olean High at Bradford High, 7 p.m.

This is the granddaddy of Big 30 rivalries. This series dates back to 1893. The series has been interrupted only twice in over 120 years. The Huskies won at Bradner Stadium last fall, 35-19.

Ridgway at Coudersport, 7 p.m.

Played in Ridgway, the South Division Elker squad dominated, 42-6. The Falcone host at CARP Field this year.

WEEK FIVE Oct. 2

Allegany-Limestone at Salamanca, 7 p.m.

These two long-time Class C rivalries narrowly escaped talks of a co-op for this year just a week before a Section 6 deadline dictated a decision had to be made in time to rework the schedules for a good share of Class C teams. Both squad are expected to be treading water with light numbers threatening to cancel their respective seasons. Salamanca won on the road last year, 27-12.

Maple Grove/Chautauqua Lake at Randolph, 7 p.m.

No two teams have dominated a single Section 6 class since 1994 like Maple Grove and Randolph. The Cardinals have played Maple Grove in the Class C or D semifinals and finals 11 times. Since 1994, Maple Grove owns a 20-10 advantage in head-tohead matchups while Randolph has gone on to capture eight sectional crowns and five state titles.

And while Maple Grove, located in Bemus Point, has since signed on in a co-op with Chautauqua Lake, six miles to the East in Mayville, Randolph has defied the odds, battling shrinking enrollment figures, and stood on its own. To be sure, any time these two meet, one thing is guaranteed … the fans will witness an epic game, one that will put the abilities of more than a handful of soonto-be-All-Stars on display with banner headlines awaiting the following day.

There’s absolutely no reason to think this game will be any different. Get there early because premium parking will disappear in a hurry.

OLEAN TIMES HERALD

Four new coaches for the Big 30 Coudersport, Salamanca, Otto-Eldred, Bolivar-Richburg with changes

By J.P. BUTLER

Olean Times Herald

Over the last two years, followers of Big 30 football have seen either extreme in terms of changes within the coaching ranks.

In 2013, eight of the then22 Big 30 gridiron programs brought on a new coach -- though two of them, Salamanca’s Jason Marsh and Allegany-Limestone’s Paul Furlong, had been the bosses at those programs before -- the area’s largest turnover in at least 10 years.

In 2014, however, that number was just one – Justin Bienkowski at Port Allegany – the lowest figure since 2007, when only Sheffield had made a change.

This fall, the number of new coaches in the now21 team Big 30 sits directly in the middle as four new

faces, all of them true firstyear guys, will be calling the shots from the sideline.

Those new bosses, three of whom are graduates of the schools they’re now coaching at, are: Ben Cary Coudersport Cary takes over for Chris Fink, who went 21-26 in five years with the Falcons, including a magnum opus 9-2 campaign in 2011 that ended in the District 9 semifinals. A two-year starting quarterback with the Falcons and a 2002 Big 30 all-star, Cary had served in recent years as an assistant on Fink’s staff.

Paul Haley Salamanca Haley replaces Jason Marsh, who logged 40 wins and 39 losses in nine years

from 2005-14 (he didn’t coach the 2012 season), the highlights being a pair of 6-1 regular seasons in ‘11 and ‘13 and a lone playoff victory in 2007. A Salamanca alum and 1993 Big 30 all-star, Haley has been involved with Salamanca youth football since 2000 and was the Warriors’ JV coach for the last three years.

Nick LaBella Otto-Eldred LaBella will be the third coach at Otto-Eldred since Kerry Snow stepped down after a long stay in 2007. He takes the reins from Virgil Graham, another O-E alum who went 15-35 in five years at the helm, with a pair of 4-6 seasons in 2013 and ‘14.

LaBella spent a handful of years on former Port Allegany coach Mike Bodamer’s staff in the midto-late 2000s and was also an assistant baseball coach at St. Bonaventure.

Steve Smith Bolivar-Richburg Smith takes over for Dave Baron, who until he stepped down was the fourth-longest tenured coach, at 14 years, in the Big 30. In that time, Baron went 48-70, with a tremendous first seven campaigns (40-24) and a trying latter seven (8-46).

Smith had been a longtime assistant to Baron, having experienced both the good years and bad along the way. He’ll bring continuity with Dustin Allen, another long-time Baron aide who will remain in his role as offensive coordinator.

Baron, meanwhile, will serve as an assistant this Fall to Cuba-Rushford coach Chris Fee. WITH TWO more mentors — Marsh and Baron — who had been around for See Coaches, page 44

Sports fans now have forum to discuss ... SPORTS Good Times of Olean set to host ‘Sports Junkies’ show on Mondays

By JIM MELARO

Olean Times Herald

OLEAN — Area fans will now have a place to sound off about their favorite topic of discussion ... sports.

It doesn’t matter whether it’s a player, team, game, highlight, league decision or playoff matchup, if it’s something you have an opinion about, you can let your voice be heard.

Be careful, however. Fans who get too loud or out of hand may end up spending some time in the ‘penalty box.’

It’s all part of the entertainment factor hosts Jim Melaro, Blaise O’Connor and Chad Bader hope to bring to the show every Monday night when fans will have the opportunity to get together at Hammer Back Bar and Grill to talk sports.

“We’re going to attempt to have a panel of special guests each week who will address the important issues in the local world of sports and athletics,” O’Connor noted. “We want to make this a place where area sports fans can sound off about their favorite teams.

“It’s football season so we expect a lot of talk about the Big 30 and the Buffalo Bills.”

Beyond that, the panel’s desire is to be open to discuss just about anything and everything that deals with the local sports scene ... from the Olean Oilers to the Enchanted Mountain Hellbilly Heartbreakers to the Allegany-Limestone Gators to the Bonnies.

The Southern Tier Sports Junkies, hosted by (from left) Blaise O’Connor and Jim Melaro debuts on Monday, Aug. 31, at Hammer Back Bar and Grill. The two-hour sports symposium will run on Monday nights throughout the NFL season.

“We’re going to plan a trivia contest each week,” O’Connor said. “We’re going to have an open mic so fans can direct questions to the panel.

“And, yes, if somebody gets too loud, they will get flagged or whistled for a penalty.”

“We’ve lined up a list of guests who we feel will lend an expert look at the what fans want to talk about,” O’Connor added.

“We want fans to enjoy the show and come back week after week.”

Here’s a list of guests lined up for the first four weeks of the show: WEEK 1 — Aug. 31: Bradford High coach Jeff Puglio and Olean High coach Mike Kane will discuss the Big 30 season opening and

their rivalry matchup the fourth week of the season.

WEEK 2 — Sept. 7: Olean Times Herald sports editor Chuck Pollock and Buffalo News reporter Tyler Dunne will talk about the Buffalo Bills off season and the anticipation for the 2015 season.

WEEK 3 — Sept. 14: Lori Chase (Port Allegany Reporter Argus) and Neil Linderman (Pittsburgh Tribune Review) will talk about the Bills’ opener.

WEEK 4 — Sept. 21: St. Bonaventure baseball coach Larry Sudbrook and Olean Oilers’ owner Brian O’Connell Jr. will be on hand to talk about the Oilers’ NYCBL Championship, the MLB’s Cy Young and MVP candidates and Sudbrook’s upcoming induction to the New York State Baseball Hall of Fame on Nov. 1.

The heat’s back on Randolph Cardinals on the hot seat again in TH predictions OLEAN HIGH

By J.P. BUTLER

Olean Times Herald

For three-straight years, our “hot seat” prediction had come to fruition.

Each August, a group of Times Herald sportswriters gets together to project the records of each Big 30 football program for the coming season. As part of that, we generally place one team on the so-called hot seat, meaning we select that team to go undefeated through the regular season.

From 2011-2013, our chosen squads did just that; Pioneer in 2011 (7-0), Port Allegany in 2012 (10-0) and Randolph in 2013 (7-0) all ran the table.

Last year, however, a slight hiccup prevented us from making it four in a row.

Not that anybody could have blamed us for choosing the Cardinals to get through a second consecutive season unscathed.

Randolph, stacked again in 2014, ultimately won 12-straight games en route to claiming an unprecedented third New York State Class D title in a row. The only thing that kept it from perfection was a season-opening 24-12 loss to Maple Grove/ Chautauqua Lake.

As justifiable as it was, we had it wrong. But that isn’t the only thing we had wrong when it came to last August’s forecasts. Overall, it was a down year for us.

For starters, we guessed the correct records for just two teams — Olean High (4-3) and Port Allegany (3-6) — five fewer than the year before and our lowest number of “spot-ons” in the last six years.

Additionally, we were within one game either way of only 10 of 21 teams; that number had ranged from

11-16 in the previous five years.

Part of our errable ways stemmed from the fact that the Big 30, as a whole, was a bit down last year. Part of it was our own ability to

foresee some of the surprise teams; there was a level of unfamiliarity with a few.

But whatever it was — last year more than the handful before it — when we were wrong … we were really wrong.

For 2014, we were three or more games off on seven teams; that number is generally about two or three in most other years. In this instance, we were too generous to the likes of Sheffield, Coudersport, Wellsville and Pioneer, but underestimated Ridgway, Franklinville/ Ellicottville and, most of all, Elk County Catholic.

We predicted the Crusaders, after an 0-9 season the year before, would go 2-8, thinking it was more than fair. Coach Tony Gerg’s team, however, ended up going 8-2 and reaching the District 9 playoffs.

From top to bottom, here’s how we did last August: Team

A look at the top players to watch in the Big 30 for 2015

He already holds the Pioneer career record for tackles for loss (44), fumble recoveries (5) and sacks (14).

Olean Times Herald

Much like the predictions piece or team-by-team capsules, it’s become a staple in our annual football tab.

Three years ago, as part of our “Best of the Big 30” theme for the 2012 edition, the Times Herald’s sports department came up with a gaggle of “Top Five” lists -among them, coaches, press boxes, team turnarounds and players.

The theme itself was a one-year arrangement, but two of those lists live on -the Top Five games, which has now become our games to watch feature, and our Top Five players in its original format … because in the end, isn’t it all about the players?

The set-up is essentially the same as a collegiate basketball league’s all-conference teams, with three teams of five players, plus a host of honorable mentions. Here are how those squads appear

Seth Drummond, junior, RB-LB, Otto-Eldred

Devyn Nelsen Randolph

Seth Drummond Otto-Eldred

Elijah Ramadhan Olean HIgh

The only player to be named to the Big 30 allstar team as a sophomore, Drummond rushed for 1,057 yards and 11 touchdowns in 2014, while finishing second on the Terrors in tackles with 50.

Drummond helped O-E close last season on a fourgame win streak following six losses to the start the season.

He is one of a handful returning Allegheny Mountain League North all-stars.

Heading into the sectional title game last year, he had rushed for 1,057 yards and 11 touchdowns, and that was despite missing two games with an injury. For his career, he’s racked up 1,737 rushing yards.

The 5--10, 175-pound back is one of five starters back for the Cardinals this season.

Playing it safe

Most new rules changes dealing with safety issues

By JEFF MADIGAN Olean Times Herald

With the unfortunate possibility of severe injuries and inherent risks as it pertains to football, Section 6 and the other local governing bodies have, over the years, continued to improve safety issues with the goal of ensuring practices and games are run smoothly and with as little concern as possible.

Sadly, injuries are a part of football. In a full-contact sport where all players on the field are going all-out every play, from whistle to whistle, injuries will occur.

It’s an undeniable certainty that players will be nicked up, bruised and feeling the effects the next morning.

But high schools across the country — and the organizations for which they play — review all rules during the offseason and make necessary changes and improvements to create set standards of safety and uniformity as a precautionary measure.

Section 6 this year is no different, as there are several rule changes of note according to the football handbook.

Most of the rule changes, revisions, clarifications and modifications deal with penalties, most specifically unnecessary roughness, in an effort to create a minimal risk. There is also an added emphasis on facilitating National Federation of State High School Associations (NFHS) Football Rules. According to the Section 6 handbook, there are six rules changes for the 2015 football season.

Randolph stands alone among small schools

By SAM WILSON Olean Times Herald

As more and more small schools lose varsity football programs or join their neighbors due to low turnout, one team seems immune to the trend in Cattaraugus County.

That of course would be the Randolph Cardinals, who have won three consecutive New York State public school Class D championships, and five in the last decade.

How have they done it, in the face of lower participation elsewhere?

“I don’t really know the reason. Obviously when you’re successful, kids want to play,” third-year coach Brent Brown said. “The little kids programs do a great job.

We get the numbers from

pee wees and midgets and they do a super job getting those kids up to us. But I see school enrollment other places falling but ours has stayed the same pretty much all the way through. I hope it stays like that.”

Certainly talent is part of it.

The Cardinals claimed 13 Big 30 All-Star spots over the last three years, including the last two players of the year, in running back Chris Doubek (2013, now a walk-on at University at Buffalo) and quarterback Bryce Morrison (2014, Alfred University). Jeff Andrews, an all-star lineman, is set to play at Alfred State.

Brown also has a wealth of coaching minds, from varsity assistants Nate

Armella and Kevin Hind to J.V. coach Greg Sherlock and volunteers Chad Slade, J.J. Peterson, Jeff Padgett, Gerald Carlson, Tim Brown and Lucas Burch.

“The more the merrier.

You get guys that played for you and want to come back and help,” Brown said.

“That’s what made (my transition to head coach) work. Everybody did their jobs for years. It really barely changed anything as far as that goes. Obviously you lose Pat, he’s been around and done a lot of things. You don’t want to lose him. But as far as keeping things the way they are, that was easy to do.”

Even Brown said he can’t predict such great roster depth forever.

“The numbers are good this year, really good actually,” he said. “This year’s ninth graders it starts (to dip), and then eighth graders, seventh graders, sixth graders. But after that, the numbers behind that are real good. I don’t know. We’ll see. Who knows what will happen between now and then.

And that brings us to our predictions for the 2015 season.

At the start of our meeting last week, we toyed with the idea of going without a “hot seat” team this year.

The thought was that, while we may have a handful of really strong teams, we probably don’t have a sure thing — at least not in the same way that Port Allegany was in 2012 or Randolph in 2013 — and therefore maybe no true candidates.

But what fun would that be?

For the third year in a row, then, we’re putting the Cardinals on the heat seat, predicting them to go a perfect 7-0 overall and 6-0 in Western New York Class D. Why Randolph again?

Even with a few key losses from last year, the Cardinals appear to be ready to make another run at it, with a host of key players back, highlighted by running back/defensive back Devyn Nelsen and tight end/defensive end Mason Bosley, and a schedule that will likely have them favored in every game.

MONDAY, AUGUST 31, 2015

And besides, how could we go with anyone other than the team that has won 35 of its last 36 games and could very well be pursuing a fourth-straight state title again in 2015?

Coach Brent Brown’s team isn’t the only one with expectations, though.

We believe that with virtually all of its skilled guys back, including third-year starting quarterback Kyle O’Donnell, CattaraugusLittle Valley could be in for a big year. The same goes for Cuba-Rushford, which has plenty of talent returning from a team that closed out last year on a four-game win streak.

We also feel that Smethport is the favorite in the Allegheny Mountain League North, that Ridgway and Elk County Catholic could go either way in the South and that Franklinville/Ellicottville could well find its way back in the mix in WNY Class D. We’ve been pretty accurate with these forecasts in the past. We’ve also been very erroneous. From here on out, it’s on the players and coaches to prove themselves one way or another.

Sec. 5 ‘D’ schools merge into one class for playoffs

By J.P. BUTLER

Olean Times Herald

The idea had been tossed around for at least the last year or two.

In fact, a year ago, Section 5 Media Coordinator Jim Cleveland had commented on its eventual likelihood in a story for the 2014 Edition.

“We had some discussion this year from the smaller schools about merging into one class,” Cleveland, the former Archbishop Walsh coach said at the time. “But if they are serious about that,

they would need to give us a one-year notice.”

The section’s D-level programs presumably did just that. And so the change has now officially been made.

Beginning this Fall, Section 5’s Class D teams will merge into one 17-school classification, with the top eight finishers (based on power points) advancing to the sectional playoffs with the eventual champion representing the section in the Far West Regional.

This is a shift in how the D-level had operated in past

games to watch

Continued from page 17

In all, 13 of the 30 meetings have been decided by 10 points or less.

Coudersport at Otto-Eldred, 7

In a matchup of first-year coaches with each having taken notes through the first four weeks of the season, it will be interesting to see which one has learned the most. Ben Cary and his Falcons travel to Duke Center to take on Phil LaBella’s Terrors.

WEEK SIX Oct. 9

Coudersport at Port Allegany, 7

Simply one of the more competitive rivalries in the Big 30, Coudersport and Port Allegany are only separated by 10 miles and since 1986, when the Allegheny Mountain League was born, the Falcons have won 21 out

of 31 games with 12 games decided by two scores or less.

Sheffield at Cameron C, 7 p.m.

The two AML North Division rivals have split their last six games.

Cameron prevailed last year, 41-14.

Cuba-Rushford at Wellsville, 7:30 p.m.

This game will stir up memories of an old Border Conference rivalry clash.

In their last two meetings, played 10 years apart as season openers in 2002 and 2012 Wellsville prevailed, 42-0 and 22-0. The Lions have won the last 11 meetings. The last C-R win, 25-12, came in 1992.

WEEK SEVEN Oct. 16

years, when it was broken into Class D and DD. In that format, the top four finishers in each would play for its own sectional title with the winners meeting to play for a spot in the Far West Regional.

As part of the new look, the next eight teams that don’t reach the playoffs will play in the Connors and Ferris consolation bowl, with four teams competing for a D-1 title and four for a D-2 title. The team that finishes 17th will see its season come to an end.

This is the only major

the start of this season, Franklinville-Ellicottville gives coach Bartoszek a chance to defeat his alma mater. The last time Salamanca played Ellicottville was in 2006 when the then-Eagles prevailed, 12-6. The game will be played in Ellicottville.

Curwensville at Kane, 7 p.m.

The Wolves will look to avenge one of their three one-point regular-season losses they suffered a year ago when Curwensville won, 7-6.

change to Section 5’s playoff format for the 2015 season; Class AA, A, B and C will continue to send their top eight teams to sectionals (one minor alteration is that with now 15 schools, Class AA will have a six-team Connors and Ferris Bowl field, with the 15th place team being left off).

And the big D change, a few years in the works, has been implemented due to a shrinking number of teams brought about by an increased number of merged programs.

“We’ve had more and more teams combining,” said Class D classification chairman John Norson.

“C.G. Finney and Northstar, and then this year York and Pavilion. It just made sense that we eventually combine the D schools into one classification.”

That same reality has produced another change within

the section, one that will affect all three of the Allegany County teams -- Wellsville, Cuba-Rushford and BolivarRichburg -- in the Big 30.

Beginning this year, the number of Livingston County leagues will lessen from three generally five-team divisions to two leagues with a larger number of teams. This development was prompted primarily by the York-Pavilion merger, which would have eliminated a team from either Livingston County Division II or III. The new Livingston County Division I will consist of a combination of B and C programs: WaylandCohocton, Dansville, LeRoy, Letchworth, Livonia, Hornell, Bath-Haverling and Wellsville. Livingston County Division II will be made up of D schools: Avon, Bolivar-Richburg, Please see Section 5, page 43

Of course, it was the same stretch of seasons when Smethport forges a regular-season record of 86-1. Still a favorite matchup for AML fans to follow.

Outlook

Sheffield is bolstered by 13 players from Abraxas and has a solid 36- player roster. But, according to Fitch, “For us to really step up we need our starters to be Sheffield kids because we only have the Abraxas players for one year.

“We’d just as soon not merge. That’s got to be a nightmare with practices.

If everybody merges, then there might not be a D. There’s not many of us left.”

In that division, the Cardinals haven’t lost a game since September 2012 to perennial rival Maple Grove. Once Maple Grove merged with Chautauqua Lake and became a C team, it topped Randolph in the opening week of last year for Brown’s only loss to date.

“Once you have that success, it becomes cultural,” Cattaraugus-Little Valley coach Tim Miller said. “The community supports what they're doing there. The kids are involved. They make sure the kids are at offseason

workouts. It becomes cultural to not makes excuses and to show up and get it done.

That's a hard thing to build but they've certainly built that over the last few years.”

Franklinville-Ellicottville’s Chad Bartoszek attributed Randolph’s success to great coaching, community support and talent.

“You combine all that, and all of a sudden the kids start believing too,” he said. “You take all those factors and you've got something special.

I didn't get to watch the state title game, but I heard it was a doozey. That's that belief. They believed they were going to win that game. It all comes from having a program that is run the right way.”

The F-E Titans will be first on the schedule for the defending state champs,

looking to avenge a 28-0 loss at Ralph Wilson Stadium for the Section 6 Class D title.

“We want the challenge,” Bartoszek said. “It's just tough that they're down the road. Eventually we've got to get that win. It's going to come sooner or later, hopefully sooner rather than later, but I think everyone knows who they are, everybody looks at our schedule and goes, 'Alright, that's going to be a good one.' Opening with them is alright. At least they lost a lot as well. Things are going to be a little bit different in terms of their positions as well. Getting them in Week 1 isn't the worst thing in the world. It gives our kids something to look forward to. I don't think you'll have trouble motivating them.”

the better part of a decade stepping aside, the Big 30 coaching fraternity continues to get younger, at least in terms of service.

Since 2013, 11 new head coaches have been named among the area’s 21 programs: Mike Kunes (Cameron County), Fee, Tony Gerg (Elk County Catholic), Chad Bartoszek (Ellicottville, Franklinville/ Ellicottville), Brent Brown (Randolph) and Wayne Stonemetz (Wellsville) in 2013, Bienkowski last year and the four this year.

varying levels of success; Brown has gone an impressive 25-1 over his first two years, leading the Cardinals to back-to-back state championships. Bienkowski, last year’s only newbie, saw his charges struggle to a 1-6 start before winning their final two games.

That means, though, that only 10 — less than half — of the current bosses have more than two years experience on a Big 30 sideline, and only six have been with their programs for five years or longer.

That group consists of Mike Kane, the area’s longest tenured coach, who will be entering his 27th year at Olean

High, Gary Swetland (Portville, 24th year), Jim Duprey (Pioneer, 14th year), Tim Miller (Cattaraugus-LV, 21st year), Mark Heindl (Ridgway, 9th year) and Jeff Puglio (Bradford High, 7th year).

BRINGING ON a new coach doesn’t necessarily mean starting over, however.

A good number of those mentors have been able to maintain a previous level of success or turn around a struggling program rather quickly.

Fee, for instance, took a team that had gone 4-11 in the two seasons before his arrival and guided it to the playoffs (5-3) in 2013 and a bowl title (5-4) in 2014.

Bartoszek has steered his co-op to two-straight Class D playoff appearances on the heels of Ellicottville’s Class DD championship in 2012.

Gerg, meanwhile, at ECC, produced one of the more notable turnarounds of the last few years, bringing the Crusaders from 0-9 his first season to 8-3 and the District 9 playoffs in his second.

Format to stay the same for District 9 playoffs

By SHAWN CAMPBELL

Special to the Olean Times Herald

The 2014 District 9 Class A football playoffs weren’t short on upsets.

Three lower-seeded teams knocked off higher-seeded foes in the quarterfinal round. No. 8 Union sent topseeded Ridgway packing on the first weekend. And Kane, the No. 6 seed, won it all, beating fifth-seeded Brockway, 33-14, in the championship game.

Contributing to the postseason shockers was the playoff format, which remains the same throughout all of District 9 this season.

“It changes every two years,” said Bob Tonkin, D-9 football chairman. “The state works on two-year enrollment classifications, so schools have to submit enrollments every two years. This is the second of the two years.”

Here’s a District 9 playoff format refresher: CLASS A: Eight teams qualify — four from the Allegheny Mountain League, two from the Keystone Shortway Athletic Conference and two at-large qualifiers.

The winner of the AML championship game earns the league’s first automatic playoff bid. The second, third and fourth AML qualifiers are selected based on winning percentage in all AML regular season games.

Ties are broken by headto-head results and the PIAA ranking system which awards points for wins and strength of victory.

The KSAC Small School Division sends its top two teams to the playoffs.

Tiebreakers are again headto-head competition and the PIAA ranking system.

The two at-large qualifiers are determined by winning percentage in all regular

season games. The same tiebreaking procedure is used.

For bracketing in Class A, which is predetermined, the AML champion and KSAC Small School winner are guaranteed the top two seeds. They play the at-large qualifiers (the Nos. 7 and 8 seeds) in the quarterfinals.

The No. 1 seed this year will be from the KSAC. “We rotate that from year to year,” Tonkin said.

Ridgway was awarded the top spot in 2014 after winning the AML title.

Additionally this year under the bracketing rotation, the third seed will be the other automatic qualifier from the KSAC. The Nos. 4, 5 and 6 seeds will be AML representatives.

The Class A playoffs begin Nov. 13 or Nov. 14 with quarterfinal round games hosted by higher-seeded teams.

The semifinals (Nov. 20-21) and championship (Nov. 27-28) are played at neutral sites.

“We try to find, if possible, a field as close as halfway between the two schools,” Tonkin said. “The other problem you run into is when you’re playing football in November and December, weather conditions are not always the best. We try to play them on some type of artificial surface if possible.”

CLASS AA: All four teams are eligible for the playoffs.

Schools can choose to opt out of the postseason, however.

Seeding is determined by the PIAA ranking system.

The semifinals, hosted by the higher seeds, are Nov. 13 or Nov. 14. The championship will be Nov. 20 or Nov. 21 at a neutral site.

CLASS AAA: The top two teams in the three-team class play for the District 9 championship Nov. 6 or Nov.

7 at a neutral site. Selection and seeding are determined by the PIAA ranking system.

The third-ranked team that fails to qualify for the playoffs will play Warren in a seasonending non-league game.

CLASS AAAA: DuBois is the lone District 9 team and plays in the District 6-9 subregion playoffs. All four teams in the subregion could compete. Selection and seeding are determined by the PIAA ranking system.

Higher-seeded teams will host in the semifinals (Nov. 13-14), and the championship (Nov. 20-21) will be played at a neutral site.

it wasn’t my call to make. So we immediately started looking and were able to get it scheduled.”

Rankl took 65 players who are returning this season and the team did fundraising to make it happen.

“We went for two nights and I was really impressed with how our guys bought into and appreciated the Quebec City culture,” he said. “We did all of the touring of the city and it’s gorgeous. It’s three hours past Montreal, so it’s a heckuva a ride but the guys really enjoyed it and we got some great benefits out of it.”

So how does that translate to the coming season?

“Our goal every year is to win the Empire 8 and get the automatic bid to the (Division III) playoffs,” Rankl said. “The Empire 8 has become an impressive football conference. Salisbury State and Frostburg are gone, they’re in the New Jersey Athletic Conference now and both Cortland and Morrisville have joined.

There are no easy games on our conference schedule whatsoever. Week after week, it’s a tough road.

Traditionally, Morrisville, Cortland, Brockport and Buff State were not Empire 8 teams, but now they are and it’s made a New York State Division III Conference that’s phenomenal.”

alfred state Continued from page 4

Now the transition to Division III will be completed at Alfred State’s impressive new artificial turf football, track and soccer facility that he maintains has “the best view within 100 miles of here.”

And, in the near future, there could be a significant schedule addition.

“Last year at Homecoming we had 3,000 people,” Welker said, “and (Alfred U.) had 3,000 people

at their game. That’s 6,000 people in town watching football on the same afternoon just across the road from each other.

“The day we actually start playing each other, which could be sooner rather than later, that’s going to be the day that football is amazing in this valley.”

To which Dodson concludes of his Alfred State recruiting pitch, “I tell them, ‘You want to make a mark in life, come here and make history.”

rule changes Continued from page 37

Spearing, a penalty dealing with a defensive player attempting to make a tackle leading with his helmet, had a change in definition to differentiate it from targeting, which is contact above the shoulders. The definition of spearing (contact at the shoulders or below) was revised to continue to focus on minimizing the risk of injury.

Another penalty changes dealing with roughing the passer, in which “no player shall make contact with an opponent which is deemed unnecessary or excessive and which ignites roughness.” In adding the excessive notion to this penalty, referees and game officials can penalize any player, offense or defense, for an excessive hit (such as blindside hits or hits on a defenseless player).

OTHER RULE changes/modifications: • The referee can correct the number of the next down prior to the ball becoming live after a new series of downs is awarded.

• The timing of the foul for not having at least four players on each side of the kicker now occurs when the ball is kicked.

• An automatic first down is not awarded for a 5-yard incidental face mask penalty in roughing the passer.

Previously, all roughing the passer penalties were 15 yards and an automatic first down.

• Unsportsmanlike/dead ball personal fouls committed by teams can offset, and therefore any 15-yard penalties accrued from both sides would negate one another.

ALSO ADDED this year was a modification of how weekly practices can be run. Per the state’s executive committee, all varsity, junior varsity and modified teams can hold no more than two “full contact” practices per week. These “full contact” practices can last no longer than 90 minutes. “Full contact,” by definition, is defined as a practice where drills or live action is conducted that involves collisions at game speed,

where players execute tackles and other activity that is typical of an actual tackle football game.

RULES AND regulations regarding concussion protocol, as well as heat index and chill index for extreme temperatures (81 degrees and above; 36 degrees and below), also remain heavily prevalent due to the health of all players.

If a player is removed from the game and exhibits concussion-like symptoms on the sideline, that player must be treated by a medical professional as soon as possible.

Only that medical professional, be it an athletic director of a paramedic, is authorized to determine if any player may return to the game after exiting with an injury. However, with the severity of concussions and the emphasis placed on head injuries, any player who leaves a game with concussion-like symptoms is not allowed to return to the game. That player is not allowed to resume any athletic activity for a 24-hour period

after being deemed “symptom-free” by the school medical director. Per policy, all high school football coaches must complete a concussion management course every other year and coaches must also be CPR certified.

New York State recommends that a physician be present at all football games and to be available for practices, especially the full contact practice sessions. If the services of a physician cannot be obtained, coverage should be provided by persons qualified to give emergency care (physician assistants, emergency squads, athletic trainers).

All officials are certified as well, and officiating judgments at times are paramount to game safety. Officials are urged to stop the game immediately when safety concerns are in question or a player is injured as safety remains at the forefront of competition. Football remains the most popular sport for boys at the high school level, and numerous steps are taken nationwide to ensure safety is of the utmost importance all season long.
