2010 Football Media Guide
2010 2007 Preview Overview
The Lenoir-Rhyne Football Team made its biggest leap forward last season under fourth-year mentor Fred Goldsmith. The Bears improved their record for the second straight season as they jumped from 3-8 in 2008 to 5-6 last year. However, L-R could have easily won a few more contests and proved it can go toe-to-toe with every team in the South Atlantic Conference. With at least seven starters back on both the offensive and defensive units, LenoirRhyne’s goal of a winning season for the first time since 1994 could be very much realized in 2010.
Offense
Lenoir-Rhyne’s run-heavy offense continues to put up prolific numbers. Last year, L-R rushed for its most yards since 1975 as it averaged 294.3 per contest. That number ranked second in the nation. A lot of the Bears’ rushing success can be attributed to the performance of their offensive line. The unit, one of the strongest on the squad, needs to replace two starters but welcomes back junior right tackle Chandler Rearden (Greenwood, S.C.). Rearden took a medical redshirt last year and looks to return to his 2008 form which saw him earn First-Team All-South Atlantic Conference honors. A healthy return by Rearden would help the Bears’ prospects immensely. L-R also brings back senior center Chad Thacker (Burlington, N.C.) and senior right guard Everett Tucker (Brunswick, Ga.). Thacker has been a starter since the middle of his freshman season and shouldn’t have any problems moving from left tackle to center and replacing all-league honoree Harrison Smith. Tucker, meanwhile, played admirably in his first season on the offensive line in 2009 after moving from the defensive side of the ball. Senior Jamie O’Briant (Durham, N.C.) takes over at left tackle and there is a good battle brewing at left guard between sophomore Kaleb Myrick (Loganville, Ga.) and sophomore Parker Murray (Ninety Six, S.C.).
Junior fullback Byron Darby led L-R in rushing yards last year with 651 while averaging 7.2 yards per carry and earning preseason all-league honors in 2010.
Although L-R’s offense has undoubtedly increased its production over the last few years, the team still feels it needs a stronger passing attack for better balance. The Bears are looking for their receivers to step up and are counting on junior Nick Stutts (Statesville, N.C.) and sophomore Artis Gilmore (Asheville, N.C.) to take the lead. Both players could start this season. Stutts finished second on the squad last year in catches (nine) and yards (153) and has a dependable set of hands. Stutts is also in position to see his production increase this fall and the Bears would surely take advantage of it. Gilmore showed flashes of potential last season and should play more consistently in 2010 with a year under his belt. Keep in eye on junior Justin McCombs (Newton, N.C.), an athletic wideout who has game-breaking ability. Senior tight end Devan Pointer (Burlington, N.C.), who led L-R in receptions (15) and yards (186) last season, is the most experienced receiver back and enters this year as a First-Team Preseason All-SAC honoree.
6
The backfield is once again filled with depth, talent and experience. The halfback tandem of seniors James Pone (Wilson, N.C.) and Andrew Courman (Beaufort, N.C.) can match up with anyone in the league. Both players have rushed for over 1,000 yards in their careers and were impressive last year with each averaging over seven yards a carry. Courman, who finished third on the squad in 2010 with 544 yards rushing and four touchdowns, was named to the allleague preseason second team. L-R is also set a fullback with junior Byron Darby (Gastonia, N.C.). One of the fastest players on the squad, Darby led the Bears in rushing yards (651) while averaging 7.2 yards per carry and scoring a team-high five touchdowns. Darby, an all-league preseason honoree as well, has the ability to become one of the most formidable runners in the league. Despite this, junior fullback Le’Quan McCorkle (Sherrills Ford, N.C.) has surged to the top of the depth chart and is battling Darby for the top spot. Junior halfback Jasper Thomas (High Point, N.C.) and sophomore halfback Anthony Thwaites (Mooresville, N.C.) may all be listed as second on the depth chart but should see a lot of playing time with Lenoir-Rhyne’s penchant for rotating running backs. For the first time since 2005, LenoirRhyne will not have the services of Justin Sanders behind center but are confident junior Major Herron (Kingsland, Ga.) can take over the starter’s spot full time. Herron has seen a lot of action in his first two years with L-R and his dual-threat ability works well in the Bears’ system. Waiting in the wings is sophomore Reuben Haynes (Commerce, Ga.), a promising young player whose strength comes in his ability to run. Haynes averaged close to seven yards a carry last year and will battle Herron at the outset of preseason camp. Keep an eye on redshirt freshman Jacob Copeland (Palmetto, Ga.), who has become a strong candidate at the No. 3 quarterback spot.

2010 2007 Preview (cont.) Defense
Just as the offense took a giant step forward two years ago, the defense did likewise last season. As a whole, Lenoir-Rhyne’s defense played as well as it has in recent memory and looks to continue its ascension in 2010. Despite the loss of Michael Green, the secondary looks like a strong point for the Bears entering camp. Senior safeties Marcus Shuford (Newton, N.C.) and Carl Brooks (Raleigh, N.C.) are both entering their fourth years as starters. Shuford, a First-Team All-SAC honoree, led the squad in tackles last season at his free safety spot with 76 and has developed into one of the best players in the league. Brooks, the strong safety, is all about production and last year was no different as he finished with 47 tackles and two interceptions. Brooks was honored with a spot on the preseason all-league squad. Senior Cam Thompkins (Sanford, Fla.) moves over to safety after playing his first two years as a cornerback and gives the Bears experience in the secondary. Thompkins tied for the team lead in interceptions with three in 2009. Junior Jamont Jones (Washington, N.C.) had a coming-out party for the Bears last season in his first year as a starter at one of the cornerback spots. Jones (39 tackles and an interception) still has a lot of upside and could be looking at a breakthrough campaign in 2010. Junior LeBrandon Banner (WinstonSalem, N.C.) or Justin McCombs (Newton, N.C.) is expected to take over the cornerback position vacated by Green in 2010. Banner played sparingly last season while McCombs moves over to the defensive side of the ball after playing wide receiver. The linebacker corps remains intact and the Bears expect to see marked improvement from the group. Junior outside linebacker Richard Walker (Loganville, Ga.) anchors the trio after garnering preseason all-conference accolades. Walker totaled 41 takedowns last year and the coaches think he can establish himself as one of the best defensive players on the squad.
Probable Starting Lineup
Junior defensive lineman Nelson Bullard earned All-SAC Preseason Second-Team honors this fall after tallying 32 tackles and 2.5 pass break-ups in 2009.

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

2010 Football Media Guide
2010 2007 Preview (cont.) Junior Nelson Bullard (Shelby, N.C.) stepped in right away last season at defensive end and made his presence known. Bullard (32 tackles) earned all-league preseason accolades in 2010 and looks to anchor a young unit. Two other sophomores – Brandon Martin (Roebuck, S.C.) and Jason Arenillas (Hollywood, Fla.) – look to fill the void left at defensive tackle and nose guard, respectively, for the Bears. Both players enter their third year with the program and should be ready to go. Junior Mike Harold (Newton, N.C.) and sophomore Evan Black (Stone Mountain, Ga.) give the Bears depth on the line.
Special Teams
Lenoir-Rhyne needs to replace its punter (Matt Corbin), but welcomes back two-year starter Colin Corpe (Ocala, Fla.), a junior placekicker, and return man Jamont Jones. Corpe hopes to return to his freshmanyear form in which he earned All-SAC First-Team accolades while Jones is knocking on the door for all-league recognition. Jones is effective at returning both kickoffs (28.2-yard average and one score) and punts but the Bears will also lean heavily on Artis Gilmore for a two-pronged attack. Gilmore returned a kickoff for a touchdown last season as well. Freshman Spencer Linquist (Newton, N.C.) might get the nod at punter but L-R will also look at Corpe or Major Herron.
Schedule
For the fourth straight year, LenoirRhyne hosts six games at Moretz Stadium including the first three contests of the season. L-R welcomes Chowan (August 28), Concord (September 4) and Davidson (September 11) before traveling to North Greenville (September 18) for its first road contest of the year. Lenoir-Rhyne hosts Mars Hill on Homecoming October 9, and closes out the regular season at Moretz Stadium against long-time rival Catawba on November 13. The Bears’ toughest road task may take place on November 6, when they travel to Jefferson City, Tenn., to face the Eagles of Carson-Newman. The Eagles finished 11-3 last year, won the SAC Championship and advanced to the national semifinals.

Athletic Administration Neill McGeachy
Director of Intercollegiate Athletics
Under the dynamic leadership of Neill McGeachy over the past eight-and-a-half years, the intercollegiate athletics program at Lenoir-Rhyne has enjoyed tremendous growth and new energy. He is foremost known for his creative promotions and marketing expertise; however, the skills he brings to L-R and intercollegiate athletics are much broader. He adroitly serves in a unique blending of two roles, as Director of Intercollegiate Athletics and as Executive Director of the Piedmont Educational Foundation/Bears Club, the official fundraising arm of the L-R Department of Athletics. According to McGeachy, “We honor the past, we compete in today and we look to the future.” His involvement of all constituents – students, alumni, corporate, Hickory metro community, public school systems, emergency services, civic organizations, YMCA, Catawba Valley Medical Center and Frye Regional Medical Center – in a collaborative effort with athletics has enhanced Lenoir-Rhyne’s overall growth and retention efforts. In the process, new streams of revenue have been identified and introduced. They include: expanded radio broadcast sponsorships, Affinity and Corporate partnerships, the PEF/Bears Club Gala, and the Lenoir-Rhyne/Moretz Sports Championship Series. In his first year in 2002, he was instrumental in helping increase football season attendance two-fold (13,958 to 28,625) which led the NCAA Division II nationally in percentage of improvement that year. In addition, Lenoir-Rhyne has led the South Atlantic Conference seven of the past eight years in attendance. In 2007, his negotiating skills initiated athletic experiences with two prominent No. 1 nationallyranked powerhouses. In September of 2007, the Bears played Appalachian State University, a 76-year rival, for the first time since 1982. Sixty-one days later, L-R played the University of North Carolina in basketball for the first time since 1949. Both schools were ranked No. 1 in the country at the time of their meeting. A combined 47,159 fans witnessed these two special contests.
Lenoir-Rhyne University also visited the University of Texas in Austin for three straight years from 2004 to 2006 and played Duke in storied Cameron Indoor Stadium in November of 2008. Examples of literal metaphors that his vision has inspired include additions of The Front Porch and The Charge (12-foot, 2,100 pound bronze bear icon). In his first eight years, eight sports have been added to Lenoir-Rhyne University athletics – men’s and women’s tennis, men’s and women’s track and field, men’s and women’s swimming and men’s and women’s lacrosse – bringing the total current number to 20 sports. This strategy is a concerted effort to continue to offer attractive opportunities – both academic and athletic – that will grow the university’s enrollment base. The plan is working. He has utilized his sports and coaching background to finesse the operations of these team sports by hiring gifted and quality coaches, developing team marketing opportunities, and providing academic tutoring for student athletes. With rapid expansion in the number of studentathletes (a 44% increase over a seven-year period), he has been instrumental in the establishment of a master land plan for athletics. New features accomplished this recently include the addition of the Moretz Sports – Athletic Complex including soccer field, the Irwin Belk track, softball and baseball lighting along with new scoreboards. Assisted by his dedicated and talented staff, all this activity has made a dramatic impact. Recent successes include the men’s soccer team finishing with a record 19-1-1 and a final ranking of No. 5 in the nation while winning the conference tournament, the third title in school history. Women’s softball, 233-58-1 the past five years, has succeeded in winning the South Atlantic Conference Regular Season Championship for four times in five years and participated in the NCAA regionals six times since 2002. The softball team also went a school-best 53-9 last year and has hosted the regionals the past two seasons. The L-R Baseball Team won a school-record 35 games in 2007. In addition, men’s basketball won league titles in 2002-03, 2003-04, 2005-06, 2007-08 and 2008-09 and made four trips to the NCAA Division II Playoffs as well (2003, 2004, 2008 and 2009). The L-R Women’s Basketball Team produced one of its greatest seasons in school history in 2008-09, tallying a 27-5 record and winning both the SAC Regular Season and Tournament Titles. Last year, the Bears repeated as league champions. The Bears hosted the 2009 NCAA Division II Southeast Regional Tournament and were the No. 1 seed while returning to the playoffs in 2009-10 The women’s basketball team also won the 2003-04 regular season title and was conference tournament champions in 2003.
19
The volleyball team captured its second league title in three years in 2006 and advanced to the SAC tournament finals. Men’s cross country finished second in the conference four straight years (2003-06) and again in 2009 while the women’s cross country won backto-back South Atlantic Conference Championships in 2008 and 2009. Women’s golf captured league titles in 2003 and 2004 and men’s golf tied for third at the SAC Championship in 2009 after winning it in 2006. Lenoir-Rhyne produced four All-Americas in 200910: one in women’s cross country, one in women’s soccer and two in softball. From 1997 to 2002, McGeachy served as director of marketing with the United States Tennis Association (USTA) Southern Section in Atlanta, Ga. Prior to the USTA, McGeachy was founder and president for 20 years of Sugar Creek Enterprises, Inc. a sports promotions company with offices in Winston-Salem and Charlotte. Several early men’s basketball coaching stints included assistant to Terry Holland at Davidson College for two years, helping lead the Wildcats to two conference championships. After Davidson College in 1971, McGeachy became Duke’s freshmen basketball coach then was elevated to top assistant before becoming head coach in 1973-74. Following his time at Duke, he coached two years at Wake Forest University as an assistant. The Deacons won back-to-back Big Four Tournament titles while McGeachy was there. A 1965 graduate of Lenoir-Rhyne, McGeachy was a three-sport standout for the Bears in football, basketball and track. In 1987, he was inducted into the Lenoir-Rhyne Sports Hall of Fame. McGeachy was also inducted into the North Carolina Tennis Hall of Fame in 1999. “For the excellence of his activities in and connected with North Carolina Tennis which have brought substantial recognition and esteem to himself and to the state.” Born in Charlotte, N.C., McGeachy grew up in Statesville N.C. He is also the proud father of Roderick (Morehead Scholar at UNC Chapel Hill and MBA graduate of Harvard’s Business School) and Ashley (15-year sports writer/columnist for publications such as Sports Illustrated, Louisville’s Courier-Journal and currently the Philadelphia Inquirer.). A popular public speaker, McGeachy is a member and past Board of Director of the Hickory Rotary Club and served as Chair of the South Atlantic Conference AD Council through June of 2010.

Lenoir-Rhyne Continues To See Strong Home Support
For the first time since the 2001 campaign, Lenoir-Rhyne did not lead the league in attendance. However, the Bears did average 3,815 fans per game for a grand total of 22,889 for the year. Lenoir-Rhyne’s largest home game in terms of attendance last season was 6,107 on October 10, 2009, against Wingate on the team’s annual Homecoming affair.
Post-Season Awards
Unsung Hero – Dewayne Jones (Defense) & Chad Thacker (Offense)
All-League Honorees
Two players earned All-South Atlantic Conference honors for the Bears in 2009: junior defensive back Marcus Shuford (Newton, N.C.) and senior offensive lineman Harrison Smith (Clayton, N.C.). Shuford led L-R in tackles in last year with 76 to go along with six pass break-ups, one interception, one forced fumble and one fumble recovery. Shuford, a two-time all-league honoree, has accumulated 230 takedowns and nine interceptions so far in his Lenoir-Rhyne career at his free safety spot. Smith, the team’s center past three seasons, helped anchor an offensive line that finished second in NCAA Division II in rushing last year with 294.3 yards per outing. In addition, Smith was named to the ESPN The Magazine Academic All-District III College Division Team.
Rushing Prowess
As mentioned earlier, the Bears finished second in the country in rushing last year (behind Carson-Newman) and averaged its most rushing yards on the ground since the 1975 campaign. In addition, eleven different players scored on the ground for L-R in 2009.
Conference Leaders
Lenoir-Rhyne led the South Atlantic Conference last fall in fourth-down conversions (60.9) and time of possession (32:38).
The 2009 campaign marked the final season for Justin Sanders (No. 12) and Harrison Smith (No. 60), a second-team all-league pick last season. Finally, Lenoir-Rhyne lost to Newberry, 2421, on October 31, after holding a 21-3 lead in the second quarter.
Special Teams Special
Two players - Jamont Jones (Washington, N.C.) and Artis Gilmore (Asheville, N.C.) earned SAC Special Teams Player-Of-The-Week honors last season. Jones returned a kickoff 90 yards for a score against Concord (Sept. 5) while Gilmore returned a kickoff 89 yards for a touchdown versus Tusculum (Oct. 3) which helped both win the award.
SAC Honor Roll
Fifteen members of the Lenoir-Rhyne University Football Team were named to the South Atlantic Conference Commissioner’s Honor Roll for the 2009-10 academic year. To qualify, a student-athlete must have at least a 3.2 grade point average or higher. The following is a list of the 15 players who were named to the SAC Commissioner’s Honor Roll from L-R.

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

The Glory Years: 1955-62 Overview
1959 (10-1) In ’59, L-R rolled through the regular season at 9-0 before dominating Southern Connecticut, 47-20, in the NAIA Eastern Championship game on Dec. 5, 1959. However, Lenoir-Rhyne’s title hopes fell in a 20-7 loss to Texas A&I on Dec. 12, 1959, in Saint Petersburg, Fla. The ’59 squad was one of the Bears’ best ever. L-R was ranked No. 1 in the country throughout the regular season and outscored its opponents, 336-96.
L-R’s football history is filled with tradition, winning and many memorable moments. However, an eight-year period beginning in 1955 and concluding in 1962 is an era of Bear football which truly separated the program from its peers. During the stretch, Lenoir-Rhyne compiled an incredible 76-6-4 mark for an astounding .907 winning percentage. This type of run ranks up with an college football program - at any level, NCAA or NAIA - of all time. To put it in another perspective, the Bears averaged less than one loss per season during the span.
By The Numbers
Here is a look at several things L-R accomplished over those eight years: • One NAIA National Championship (1960) • Three NAIA National Championship appearances in four years (1959, 1960 and 1962) • Three seasons without a loss (1955, 1956 and 1960) • Eight straight conference titles
True Road Warriors
The most impressive thing about LenoirRhyne’s eight-season run may have been its record on the road. Consider this, of the 10 losses or ties L-R did have during the span, only three were away from College Field/Moretz Stadium (two defeats and one tie). In fact, both losses were in the NAIA National Championship game! The Bears were 34-4-3 (.866) at home compared to 42-2-1 (.944) on the road.
More Road Stuff: The Streaks
L-R put together a 25-game road unbeaten streak (24-0-1) before losing in the ’59 NAIA National Title game. Not to be outdone, the Bears followed with an 18-game winning streak away from home which ended in the ’62 NAIA National Championship game.
The Tiebreaker
One of the most memorable games in Lenoir-Rhyne history took place on Dec. 3, 1960, at College Field when the Bears hosted Northern Michigan in the NAIA Eastern Championship game. The game concluded with a 20-20 tie thanks to some late game heroics by L-R. The Bears’ Tony McClamrock hit Marcus Midgett on a 38-yard scoring pass with under a minute to play to tie it. According to NAIA regulations, the criteria
Clarence Stasavich was Lenoir-Rhyne’s Head Coach from 1946 to 1961 and compiled a 120-37-7 (.777) record. for breaking a tie is total yardage. Nearly 6,500 people huddled around the press box right after regulation to await the announcement. After numerous retotals, a winner was declared: Lenoir-Rhyne. The Bears out-gained Northern Michigan by 25 yards: 294 to 269.
1962 (11-1) This squad, the first under Bear mentor Hanley Painter, will go down as one of the best defensive teams in program history. L-R won all 10 of its regular season games and gave up just 61 points (6.1 per game) all year. The defensive performance included four consecutive shutouts with five all total. Lenoir-Rhyne smothered Northern State (South Dakota) in the NAIA Eastern Playoff Championship, 20-7, on Dec. 2, 1962, at home before falling to No. 1-ranked Central Oklahoma State, 28-13, in the Camellia Bowl (Dec. 8, 1962) in Sacremento, Calif.
The Perfect Season
The 1956 team (10-0) was the only squad in school history with a perfect campaign.
All-American Times Two
During the dynasty, four players received All-American honors not once but twice: Harold Bullard (1956-57), Lee Farmer (1959-60), Dick Lage (1959-60) and Richard Kemp (1961-62).
The National Championship
Lenoir-Rhyne’s first and only National Championship came on Dec. 10, 1960, when the Bears defeated Humboldt State (Calif.), 15-14, at the Holiday Bowl Stadium in Saint Petersburg, Fla. Trailing 14-12 late in the fourth quarter, L-R Head Coach Clarence Stasavich sent out freshman Marion Kirby to kick what would be the game-winning field goal for the Bears and the dream was realized.
Individual Excellence
From 1955 to 1962, Lenoir-Rhyne had a whopping 48 players garner all-conference honors and 12 different Bears earned some kind of All-American honors.
The “Other” Years
The national championship season of 1960 may have overshadowed the fact that in 1959 and 1962 the Bears reached the finals as well.

LenoirRhyne holds the per-game record with 0.8 turnovers in 10 games during the 1994 season.
All-Time Collegiate Mark
Lenoir-Rhyne’s 837 yards rushing
against Davidson in 1975 (a 69-14 road win) remains the all-time collegiate rushing mark.

2010 Football Media Guide
All-Time Roster The Lenoir-Rhyne University All-Time Football Roster has been published for the ninth time since the production of the 1985 football guide. The 1985 version was made possible in large part by former L-R coach, R.M. “Pat� Shores. Shores spent countless hours using old yearbooks and other sources to compile the initial list. The L-R sports information office along with former L-R students Jeff Jones, JuJu Phillips and LuAn Hobson worked extensively to have the list ready for publication in 1985. Former L-R professer Jerry Bolick used computers to assist with this project. In March-May 2002, former L-R Assiststant SID Andrew Hotchkiss revived, updated, and enhanced the All-Time roster. The current list includes all players on the original list and all players that have appeared in football guides and game programs since 1985. Please contact the L-R sports information office for any corrections, additions, or deletions to this list. The Lenoir-Rhyne sports information office wishes to thank all the sports publicity and sports information directors that have worked so hard for many hours in order to publicize L-R athletics throughout the years. Thanks go out to John Hall, Rick Strunk, Joe Smith, Thomas Neff, Dom Donnelly, Michael MacEachern, Chris Pluto, and, espcially, to Andrew Hotchkiss who spearheaded this hardworking project.

Lenoir-Rhyne Lenoir-Rhyne College Undergraduate Degrees
The Carl A. Rudisill Library Founded in 1891, Lenoir-Rhyne is a four-year coeducational liberal arts institution committed to the academic and personal development of its students. The college boasts a rich tradition of academic and athletic excellence dating back 119 years. Recognized as one of “America’s Best Colleges” by U.S. News and World Report, Lenoir-Rhyne is located in the “All-American City” of Hickory, N.C., a city of more than 40,000 situated in the heart of western piedmont of North Carolina. Affiliated with the North Carolina Synod of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, Lenoir-Rhyne is dedicated to the liberal arts as a well-rounded educational experience. Four Lutheran ministers founded the college on a site donated by Captain Walter Lenoir. Lenoir-Rhyne started with one building on a small tract of land which has grown to more than 20 major structures on a 100-acre campus. The name “Rhyne” was later added to the original name Lenoir College due to the contributions of Daniel Efird Rhyne, a local textile manufacturer whose gifts helped overcome early crises and establish the college’s endowment. In the tradition of a church-related, liberal arts college, L-R enrolls approximately 1,500 students and has a student ratio of 11-1. More than 60 percent of its professors hold doctorate degrees. The college offers over 40 majors, both in traditional fields of study ranging from the humanities, natural sciences, and social sciences, to such new fields as international business, communication and computer science. Lenoir-Rhyne is one of only a few colleges in the nation to have implemented the innovative Dartmouth model of foreign language instruction and offers a program to train teachers of the hearing-impaired. Lenoir-Rhyne’s track record for the success of professional graduates has been high.
Graduates in the nursing program consistently score at the top of the state board examination, while over 85 percent of law school applicants and 75 percent of medical school applicants gain acceptance. The academic facilities of the college, among the best for a small school in the southeast, include the Carl A. Rudisill Library and Learning Resources Center. The Rudisill Library houses over 135,000 volumes, 850 periodicals and a modern television studio and computer center. Lenoir-Rhyne holds membership in the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA Division II). Lenoir-Rhyne, which competes in the South Atlantic Conference, fields 20 athletic teams. The college also offers a year-round intramural program and houses an olympic-sized indoor pool, racquetball courts, a dance theater, three weight rooms, and two full-size gymnasiums, including the 3,200-seat Shuford Memorial Gymnasium. Lenoir-Rhyne will increase its number of sports to 20 with the addition of men’s and women’s lacrosse and men’s swimming, who will start playing intercollegiately in 2010-11. The responsibility of any college or university is to prepare its students for life not only in the work place, but as productive and useful citizens in their respective communities. At L-R, there is a commitment to helping its students become the leaders in today’s world. On Saturday, August 23, 2008, Lenoir-Rhyne College will officially change its name to Lenoir-Rhyne University.

Piedmont Educational Foundation
Dedicated To Excellence In Academic And Athletics The Team Behind The Teams
Jon Swift ’71 President
Neill McGeachy ’65 Executive Director
Lenoir-Rhyne is only one of a handful of schools in NCAA Division II that offers such a diverse intercollegiate athletic program providing 20 sports. Great pride is taken in how things are done at Lenoir-Rhyne. There is only one way . . . the right way. Lenoir-Rhyne student-athletes have learned to appreciate the strength of discipline, the wisdom of teamwork and the tenacious pursuit of excellence. LenoirRhyne’s strong committment toward athletics and academics provides our student-athletes with tools and resources necessary to be successful througout their lives. With this in mind, Lenoir-Rhyne and its athletic fundraising arm, the Piedmont Educational Foundation/Bears Club, are committed to enhancing the educational experiences and opportunities for our student-athletes. The Piedmont Educational Foundation/ Bears Club was chartered on December 12, 1946, for the purpose of providing scholar-
ship aid to worthy young men and women who otherwise might not have the advantage of a college education. Now, with over 600 members throughout the United States, the Piedmont Educational Foundation has provided over two million dollars in aid to Lenoir-Rhyne. With your support we are able to develop a competitive athletic program as we work to build championship people, both on and off the playing field. Friends, alumni, parents and companiesanyone can join the Piedmont Educational Foundation/Bears Club with a contribution. Our giving levels and benefits start at $150 dollars and graduate to a named scholarship giving level of $5,000. When you join the PEF/Bears Club, you are investing in a brighter future for many of the LenoirRhyne’s student-athletes. Call the Piedmont Educational Foundation/Bears Club office at (828) 328-7130 to join today or via e-mail at moserc@lr.edu.
Why Such An Organization Is Needed
Cindy Moser
Director of Operations
Even though some intercollegiate sports are income producing, others provide no income. However, all sports do attract students to the school and, in so doing, contribute greatly to the overall well-being of Lenoir-Rhyne. Without the financial assistance of the Piedmont Educational Foundation/Bears Club, the financial burden of maintaining a competitive athletic program would fall to Lenoir-Rhyne’s already pressed general fund. Gifts from alumni and friends are absolutely necessary for the athletic program to operate.
The Piedmont Educational Foundation/Bears Club provides a tax deductible vehicle through which these gifts may be matched. All gifts are receipted and acknowledged by Lenoir-Rhyne and the Piedmont Educational Foundation/Bears Club. We recognize that a number of our donors contribute to both academics and athletic programs of Lenoir-Rhyne. Therefore, your entire contribution to the school will be gratefully acknowledged (in total) in Lenoir-Rhyne University’s annual report.

The Piedmont Educational Foundation is selling, as a fundraiser for athletic scholarship, replicas of the campus statue entitled “The Charge”. Anyone purchasing this statue will have their name placed in perpetuity on the site of the campus bear at the conclusion of the fundraiser. This is a great gift idea for any alumnus or friend of Lenoir-Rhyne. Part of the $1,500.00 cost of the statue may be tax deductible. Please call Cindy Moser at (828) 328-7130 or email her at moserc@ lr.edu for more information and payment options.
2010 Football Media Guide
Moretz Stadium The 2010 season marks the Bears’ 83rd year in one of the most beautiful football facilities to be found on any college campus. The year 2002 proved to be a rebirth in for L-R football as Moretz Stadium saw its attendance jump by a national-best average of 2,933 per game and Lenoir-Rhyne finished 19th in the country in NCAA Division II in attendance. Lenoir-Rhyne has now led the South Atlantic Conference in attendance for the last seven of the past eight years. On September 16, 1989, the Bears’ home football facility was renamed the Helen & Leonard Moretz Stadium. The stadium honors the two longtime Lenoir-Rhyne supporters. Recent renovations to the facility include a new press/ president box, new lighting, and general repairs were made possible by a gift from Mrs. Moretz through the college’s $24 million Centennial Renewal Campaign. The site of the stadium has been home of the Bears since the early 1920s and much of Lenoir-Rhyne’s football successes and athletic history began here. Originally named College Field, the facility was built as a combination football-baseball field in 1923. Since records have been documented, beginning in 1927, L-R has won 54 percent (209-180-21) of their home contests over the 78-year span. The stadium gained its present look in 1964 during a major renovation project, which was a monumental undertaking as the field itself was lowered some five feet, a drainage system was installed, retaining walls around the stadium were built, and new concrete stands were added. Those stands, recognized as the home side of the field, increased the stadium capacity to 9,500. A section of bleachers on the visitors side of the field was removed following the 1982 season and stadium now seats 8,500. Moretz Stadium has been the site for three NAIA national semifinal playoff games, and the Bears advanced to the finals following each game. The 1960 playoff battle with Northern Michigan may have been the most interesting as the two teams finished the game tied at 20. L-R advanced to the NAIA championship because of accumulating more total yardage, and eventually won the college’s only national title by defeating Humboldt State 15-14 in St. Petersburg, Fla. Moretz Stadium is the largest on-campus in the league and is widely recognized as one of the finest small college football stadiums in the nation. Moretz Stadium is the fourth oldest stadium on record in NCAA Division II.

McCrorie Center Lenoir-Rhyne College’s vision for the future became a reality in June of 2002 with the opening of the McCrorie Center. The 1959 winner of the Voight R. Cromer Award, which honors athletes who put team before self, and a 1960 graduate of Lenoir-Rhyne College, Hank McCrorie and his wife, Bernice, gifted the college $3.4 million to name the building. Altogether costing $10.3 million, the 47,000square foot facility is home to the Lenoir-Rhyne College Football Program. Facing L-R’s practice field, the McCrorie Center’s ground floor includes the weight-training room, coaches’ offices, locker room, hydrotherapy facilities (one of only two at any North Carolina college or university), a state-of-the-art training and rehabilitation center, clinical areans and sports medicine faculty offices. Not only does the McCrorie Center house the college’s football team, but it is also home to some of the nation’s top health-related departments: nursing, occupational therapy and sports medicine. Approximately one-third of the college’s students are majoring in the allied health sciences, including pre-medical science. Lenoir-Rhyne is expecting the McCrorie Center to play a significant role in increasing the number of health-care practitioners serving the region and the state - while providing its many intercollegiate sports with expanded locker, equipment, training and office areas. “I hope this gift and the construction of this building will allow Lenoir-Rhyne College to continue to attract the students it desires and to excel in academic and athletic programs”, said McCrorie. “The three most important things I received from Lenoir-Rhyne College were an education, inspiration and friendships that will last a lifetime.” The building’s main floor house allied classrooms, a fitness facility - which caters to the entire campus community - a physical rehabilitation room, a patience care laboratory, a new state of the art computer lab and a student lounge. Finally, the second floor includes a conference room, nursing and occupational therapy faculty offices, a craft laboratory, and pediatric laboratory for occupational therapy, LenoirRhyne’s first on-campus human anatomy laboratory and the Student Health Center are also located on the floor.

2009 2006 Player Awards Clarence P. Stasavich Endowed Scholarship
David A. Moose Memorial Scholarship
Voigt R. Cromer Award
The Clarence P. Stasavich Endowed Scholarship Fund was established in 1996 at Lenoir-Rhyne College in Hickory, N.C. as a result of the Clarence P. Stasavich Campaign. The campaign was established jointly by the boards of Lenoir-Rhyne College and the Piedmont Educational Foundation, Inc. representing former football players, colleagues and friends of coach Stasavich in honor of his committment to Lenoir-Rhyne. A member of the class of 1935, Clarence P. Stasavich returned to his alma mater in 1938 as football line coach, assistant basketball coach, head tennis coach and mathematics instructor. Following four years of service to the U.S. Navy, he returned to Lenoir-Rhyne as Head Football Coach from 1946-61. Coach Stasavich will always be remembered for building the first national championship football team in North Carolina (1960 NAIA National Champions). More importantly, he was also know for his example of Christian faith, exemplary leadership and committment both in the classroom and on the field. The 2009 recipient of the Clarence P. Stasavich Endowed Scholarship was Jamont Jones Jones, a two-year letterwinner (2008-09), came into his own last year at cornerback and returning kickoffs and punts. Jones, a junior from Washington, N.C., led the Bears in kickoff return yards (565) and return average (23.0 ypr) in 2009 and returned a kickoff 90 yards for a score against Concord (Sept. 5, 2009). On defense, Jones finished with 39 tackles, three pass break-ups and one interception.
Hanging in the Lenoir-Rhyne football office is a plaque that states: “Some young men personify the positive traits that intercollegiate ahtletics are said to foster . . . David Augustus Moose II was one such man.” On March 18, 1984, David Moose died tragically in an off-campus incident. Just months before, Moose had been chosen for the 1983 first-team All-South Atlantic Conference squad and was voted by his teammates as the year’s Oustanding Defensive Player. He received the Lenoir-Rhyne Academic Award for the highest grade point averge on the team and was voted captain of the 1984 Bears. To memorialize David and all that he stood for both on and off the field, the David A. Moose Memorial Scholarship fund was established by family and friends in 1984. The scholarship is awarded each year to a football participant, preferably a non-scholarship athlete, who best exemplifies his life through the qualities of hard work, dedication, high academics, exemplary character and campus leadership. The 2009 recipient of the David A. Moose scholarship was Chad Thacker. Thacker, a native of Burlington, N.C., and a graduate of Western Alamance High School, won the award for the third year in a row. Thacker, a 2009 captain, will be entering his third year as a starter this fall and will move to center from one of the tackle spots. Thacker helped the Bears finish second in the nation in rushing (294.3 ypg) in 2009. Thacker, a member of the SAC Commissioner’s Honor Roll, carries a 3.61 grade point average while majoring in political science.
The award, given out since 1980, is dedicated to the memory of the late Voigt Cromer, who served as president of Lenoir-Rhyne College from 194967. The Voigt R. Cromer Award combines athletic and academic excellence with extracurricular achievement. The recipient must be a letterman who demonstrates superior athletic ability. Me must be a campus leader of high moral character who is cooperative with faculty and coaches. In the tradition of Voigt Cromer, he must possess a will to win. The 2009 recipient of the Voigt R. Cromer award was Harrison Smith. Smith, a four-year letterwinner (2006-09) and a three-year starter (2007-09) for the Bears, won the award for the third straight year. Smith, a native of Clayton, N.C., earned secondteam All-South Atlantic Conference honors last season. Smith anchored a line that helped the Bears finish second in NCAA Division II in rushing at 294.3 yards per game in 2009. Smith, a double major in communication and political science, sports a 3.69 grade point average and is a member of the South Atlantic Conference Commissioner’s Honor Roll.
