2011 Football Media Guide
2011 2007 Preview Overview
The Lenoir-Rhyne University Football Team enters a new coaching era this fall in one of its best positions in a long time. L-R Head Coach Mike Houston, who became the 18th mentor in school history in May, inherits a team coming off its first winning season since 1994. The Bears finished last year with a 7-4 record and a 4-3 mark in the South Atlantic Conference to go along with rousing victories over Carson-Newman and Catawba to end the season. No stranger to L-R, Houston has been the team’s defensive coordinator the past four years before being elevated to head coach following the retirement of four-year mentor Fred Goldsmith. Although much will remain intact including most of the coaching staff, Houston will put his own stamp on a program which returns 52 letterwinners and 18 starters. The Bears are now finally set to make a legitimate run to the league title.
Offense
The Bears are entering their fourth year running the flex bone offense and the numbers keeping improving each season. For the first time since 1994, L-R averaged over 400 yards of offense (401 ypg) including an NCAA Division II-leading 319.5 yards per game rushing in 2010. Much of the ground game’s success goes to the work up front. This year’s offensive line is shaping up to be one of the best in a long time as all five positions return players who have made a number of starts. Anchoring the unit is senior right tackle Chandler Rearden (Greenwood, S.C.). Rearden, who earned All-American honors by a host of publications last season, became the first player in school history to win the Jacobs Blocking Trophy. The trophy is given annually to the top offensive lineman in the conference. The Bears’ right side will also feature junior guard Kaleb Myrick (Loganville, Ga.). Myrick came into his own last year and earned All-SAC honors for his performance. Although L-R loses Chad Thacker at the center position, the Bears appear to be in good shape with sophomore Zach Howell (Burnsville, N.C.).
Senior Jamont Jones, a 2011 Second-Team All-SAC Preseason pick, finished with 50 tackles last year and should be L-R’s top cornerback and return man this fall.
Howell earned valuable playing time starting at right guard in 2010 thanks to a couple of injuries and more than held his own. The left tackle and left guard positions should be manned by sophomore Parker Murray (Ninety Six, S.C.) and sophomore Zack Bunn (Lucama, N.C.), respectively. Murray was more or less a starter off the bench last season and the versatile thirdyear player was plugged in anywhere the Bears needed him along the front. Bunn got his feet wet in 2010 after taking over the left tackle spot in the latter half of the year and will now move to guard. Senior center Jeremy Smith (Moore, S.C.) and senior left tackle Jesse Johnson (Burnsville, N.C.) are two of LenoirRhyne’s top reserves on the offensive line. Once again, Lenoir-Rhyne would like to get more production from its passing game despite the play of senior wide receiver Nick Stutts (Statesville, N.C.). Stutts was, by far, the Bears’ top option through the air as he finished with 544 yards receiving on 35 catches and two scores. Stutts also earned all-league preseason honors this fall for his performance. An outstanding blocker with sure hands,

Stutts has developed into one of the most important, all-around players on the squad. Junior Artis Gilmore (Asheville, N.C.) gives the Bears another option at wideout and the team would like to see his production increase. Meanwhile, junior tight end Jared Thompson (Statesville, N.C.) has a lot of potential but is unproven. L-R has always been able to rotate running backs in and out thanks to a stable of versatile and talented players in the backfield. However, Lenoir-Rhyne will have to dig deep into its reserves this year and ask several newcomers to step in with the loss of All-American Le’Quan McCorkle and four-year starters Andrew Courman and James Pone. Senior fullback Byron Darby (Gastonia, N.C.) looks to regain his form from two years ago when he led the squad in rushing (651 yards in 2009). Darby, a 1,000-yard career rusher, hopes to respond to an increased work load this year. Redshirt freshman Isaiah Whitaker (Salisbury, N.C.) has chance at cracking the starting line-up at fullback and could make an immediate impact. Senior Jasper Thomas (High Point, N.C.) takes over one of the two halfback spots while junior Justin Wynn (Brevard, N.C.) gets first chance at the other. Both players have seen action in the past but will now carry more of the load. Thomas, one of the fastest players on the squad, has been especially productive despite injuries. For his career, Thomas has rushed for 517 yards while averaging 7.2 yards per carry and eight touchdowns. Redshirt freshman Josh Justice (Belmont, N.C.) and sophomore Graham Duncan (Gainesville, Ga.) are penciled in as the next line of halfbacks and should see plenty of touches but the Bears may lean on several newcomers as well. Quarterback is another position of strength with the return of the team’s top two signal callers. Senior Major Herron (Kingsland, Ga.) became the full-time starter last season and developed into one of the most productive quarterbacks in the league. Herron finished with 1,712 total yards (a team-high 883 on the ground and 829
2011 Football Media Guide
2011 2007 Preview (cont.) through the air) and led the conference with 16 rushing touchdowns in 2010. Junior Reuben Haynes (Commerce, Ga.) is a more-than-capable back-up who led L-R to a season-ending victory over Catawba last fall. Haynes has a lot of speed and gives the Bears a different option on offense.
Probable Starting Lineup
Defense
Lenoir-Rhyne’s improvement as a team coincides with its steady progress on the defensive side of the ball. Last year, L-R led the league by a wide margin in total defense (276.6 ypg) and finished fourth nationally in rushing defense (75.7 ypg) and third in sacks (39). The Bears now field one of the top units in the league and it starts with the group up front. The Bears have fielded a strong defensive line in recent seasons and this year will be no exception with every starter returning. L-R’s defensive front is led by pair of all-conference honorees in junior defensive tackle Brandon Martin (Roebuck, S.C.) and senior defensive end Nelson Bullard (Shelby, N.C.). Martin, a First-Team All-SAC pick last year and preseason All-American this fall, led the team in sacks (7.5) while Bullard finished with 31 tackles and six quarterback sacks. Junior Jason Arenillas (Hollywood, Fla.) had a solid first season starting at nose guard last year and is looking for a breakout campaign in 2011. Junior Evan Black (Stone Mountain, Ga.) and sophomore B.J. Woodley (Charlotte, N.C.) are two of L-R’s top reserves on the defensive line. At linebacker, junior Demetrius Green (Cedartown, Ga.) returns after finishing second on the squad in tackles (75) en route to first-team all-conference honors. Green anchors a unit which also returns junior Chris Carter (Jamestown, N.C.), who has a knack for making plays as he finished with 28 tackles, 2.5 quarterbacks, two fumble recoveries and one interception last fall. Carter will head up the outside linebacker position while Green and either sophomore Jeff Haney (Auburn, Ga.) or sophomore Justin Bacon (Waynesville, N.C.) will man the inside spots for the Bears.
Senior wideout Nick Stutts led the Bears with 544 yards receiving on 35 receptions and two touchdowns last season and was a preseason all-conference honoree in 2011.

Juniors Cle-Artiss Davis (Miramar, Fla.), who finished with 30 tackles and five sacks last year, and Doug Ellis (Powder Springs, Ga.) will battle for first-string duties at linebacker once preseason camp arrives. Sophomore Zach Long (Advance, N.C.) was one of Lenoir-Rhyne’s top newcomers last season and should move into the “Bandit” position for the Bears. Long finished with 27 tackles and three sacks in 2010 as a defensive back. The secondary will have to try to make up for the loss of safeties Marcus Shuford, last year’s South Atlantic Conference Defensive Player Of The Year, and Carl Brooks but the Bears appear to have several players waiting in the wings. Free safety looks to be taken over by sophomore Michael Green (Kingsland, Ga.).

2011 Football Media Guide
2011 2007 Preview (cont.) Green looks to return to his 2009 form when he was one of the Bears’ best defenders with 50 tackles and three interceptions. Senior Richard Walker (Loganville, Ga.) moves into the strong safety position after playing linebacker the past three years. Walker (42 tackles in 2010) brings athleticism and experience to the table as he starts for the third straight year. Senior cornerback Jamont Jones (Washington, N.C.), a four-year starter, looks to end his career in fine fashion. Last season, Jones totaled 50 tackles and two picks and could see those numbers improve even more. Jones also earned preseason all-league honors this fall. The other cornerback, senior LeBrandon Banner (Winston-Salem, N.C.), had a nice coming-out party in 2010 in his first season starting. Banner (41 tackles last year) and Jones give the Bears a formidable cornerback duo. Senior safety Cam Thompkins (Sanford, Fla.) has seen time as a starter in each of the past three seasons and gives L-R a much-needed reserve this fall. Thompkins is also one of the most experienced players on the team. Sophomore defensive backs Quintin Gay (Concord, N.C.), Ryan Sanford (Sanford, Fla.) and Chris Christian (Wadesboro, N.C.) all left spring ball second on the depth chart and each hopes to improve after promising first years.
Special Teams
L-R’s special teams should be solid with the return of both the punter and kicker in addition to its top return man. Junior Brad Winters (Sacramento, Calif.), a transfer from Shasta College, takes over the punting duties this year for the Bears while senior placekicker Colin Corpe (Ocala, Fla.) looks to regain the form that earned him first-team all-league honors as a freshman in 2008. Corpe has a chance to become the school’s all-time leader in scoring for kickers this year as well. Jones has handled return duties for the past several years and should get help from Michael Green and Gilmore this season. Copeland has the nod at long snapper while sophomore Brett Boyles (Ararat, N.C.) takes over as the holder.

Mike Houston became the 18th Head Football Coach in Lenoir-Rhyne’s history when he was hired on May 9, 2011. Houston just wrapped up his fourth season as Lenoir-Rhyne’s Defensive Coordinator and Secondary Coach. Under Houston’s leadership, the Bears’ defense had one of their best seasons in recent memory in 2010. Last fall, Lenoir-Rhyne led the South Atlantic Conference in total defense (276.6 ypg) and finished fourth in NCAA Division II in rushing defense (75.7 ypg). In addition, senior defensive back Marcus Shuford (Newton, N.C.) became the third player in school history to win league defensive player-of-the-year honors.

The 2004 team averaged 38 points per game while allowing just nine points per outing as it won its first-ever conference championship in school history. Houston left T.C. Roberson with the highest winning percentage of any coach in school history and helped establish the Rams as one of the top football programs in the state of North Carolina.

Athletic Administration Neill McGeachy
Director of Intercollegiate Athletics
Lenoir-Rhyne Athletics
under Neill McGeachy (2002-present) • First-ever nationally-televised game • South Atlantic Conference leaders in football attendance for eight of the past nine years • 35 NCAA Division II Regional appearances • 22 South Atlantic Conference Regular Season Championships • 13 All-Americans representing eight sports • 12 South Atlantic Conference Players Of The Year • 9 South Atlantic Conference Tournament Championships • 7 NCAA Division II National Championship Qualifiers • 4 NCAA Division II Regional hosts • 3 Academic All-Americans • 2 NCAA Division II Softball Super Regional finalists • 1 National Coach Of The Year • First-ever Presidents’ Award winner at Lenoir-Rhyne (Kate Griewisch, 2010-11)
Under the dynamic leadership of Neill McGeachy over the past nine-and-a-half years, the intercollegiate athletics program at LenoirRhyne 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, LenoirRhyne has led the South Atlantic Conference eight of the past nine years in attendance. In 2007, his negotiating skills initiated athletic experiences with two prominent No. 1 nationally-ranked 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 nine 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.
18
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 student-athletes (a 46% increase over a sevenyear 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. This past summer, the South Atlantic Conference’s and Lenoir-Rhyne’s first-ever video scoreboard (a.k.a. jumbotron) was built in the open end of the football stadium. 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, 278-68-1 the past six years, has succeeded in winning the South Atlantic Conference Regular Season Championship for five times in six years and participated in the NCAA regionals seven times since 2002. The softball team also hosted the regional the past three years and advanced to the Super Regional Tournament the past two seasons. The L-R Baseball Team won a school-record 35 games in 2007. Women’s soccer put together its best season in 2010, finishing with a 19-2-2 mark and winning both the conference regular season and tournament championships for the first time in school history. The women’s soccer team also became the first team at L-R to advance to the NCAA Division II National Quarterfinals this past fall. 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.

McGeachy was also inducted into the North Carolina Tennis Hall of Fame in 1999.

Lenoir-Rhyne Continues To Be Home, Sweet Home Lenoir-Rhyne led the South Atlantic Conference in attendance last season as the Bears averaged 6,010 fans per contest. A total of 36,057 fans attended a football game at Moretz Stadium including a seasonhigh 7,247 against Mars Hill on Homecoming (October 9, 2010). The Bears have led the league in attendance in eight of the last nine years.
All-League Honorees
Six players earned All-South Atlantic Conference honors for the Bears in 2010. Junior offensive lineman Chandler Rearden (Greenwood, S.C.), sophomore defensive lineman Brandon Martin (Roebuck, S.C.), sophomore linebacker Demetrius Green (Cedartown, Ga.) and senior defensive back Marcus Shuford (Newton, N.C.) were named to the first team. Meanwhile, sophomore offensive lineman Kaleb Myrick (Loganville, Ga.) and junior defensive lineman Nelson Bullard (Shelby, N.C.) earned second-team all-conference accolades.
Rushing Offense: No. 1 In The Land
Lenoir-Rhyne led NCAA Division II in rushing last season as it averaged 319.5 yards per game. The output is also a school record, breaking the 1975 mark of exactly 300 yards per contest.

The three-time all-conference selection also played in the Cactus Bowl, the annual NCAA Division II All-Star Game in Kingsville, Texas, last winter.

Defense Rules
L-R’s defense was, by far, the best in the league last season. Its average of 276.6 yards per game was 82.5 yards better than the secondranked unit in the conference.
Finally, A Victory Over The Eagles
In addition to being the top rushing team in the nation, Lenoir-Rhyne also ranked third in the country in quarterback sacks (39) and fourth in rushing defense (75.7 ypg).
For the first time since 1978, Lenoir-Rhyne handed Carson-Newman a loss. The Bears defeated the Eagles by a 52-14 score on November 6, 2010, in Jefferson City, Tenn., to snap a 31-game losing streak against Carson-Newman. Ironically, L-R also clinched its first winning season since 1994 on the same day.
Two Of A Kind
SAC Honor Roll
Other National Rankings
Chandler Rearden and Marcus Shuford had two of the best seasons in L-R history last year. Rearden became the first player in L-R history to win the Jacobs Blocking Trophy, given annually to the top offensive lineman in the South Atlantic Conference. In addition, Rearden earned All-American honors by five different publications (AFCA, Daktronics, Associated Press, d2football.com and Don Hansen). Shuford was the third player for LenoirRhyne to win South Atlantic Conference Defensive Player-Of-The-Year honors last fall.
Post-Season Awards
Defensive back Marcus Shuford (200710) leaves Lenoir-Rhyne as a three-time all-league honoree and was named the 2010 SAC Defensive Player Of The Year.
Eighteen members of the Lenoir-Rhyne University Football Team were named to the South Atlantic Conference Commissioner’s Honor Roll for the 2010-11 academic year. To qualify, a student-athlete must have at least a 3.3 grade point average or higher. The following is a list of the 18 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 23rd year as an all-sports confererence and 19th 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.
Clarence Stasavich was Lenoir-Rhyne’s Head Coach from 1946 to 1961 and compiled a 120-37-7 (.777) record. According to NAIA regulations, the criteria 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.
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
Individual Excellence
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.
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.
More Road Stuff: The Streaks
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.
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.

NCAA Record
Lenoir-Rhyne University currently
holds the NCAA Division II record for fewest turnovers in a season (eight) since the NCAA began keeping the statistic in 1985. In 1994, the Bears only turned the ball over eight times (four fumbles, four interceptions) as they won its most recent South Atlantic Conference championship. 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.

2011 Football Media Guide
All-Time Roster The Lenoir-Rhyne University All-Time Football Roster has been published for the tenth 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 121 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 1,800 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 officially changed its name to Lenoir-Rhyne University.

Piedmont Educational Foundation
Dedicated To Excellence In Academic And Athletics The Team Behind The Teams
Tripp Cody, ’97 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.
2011 Football Media Guide
Moretz Stadium The 2011 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 eight of the past nine 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 (213-182-21) 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. This past summer, Lenoir-Rhyne added a state-of-the-art Model 3680 Outdoor LED Football Scoreboard (built by Electro-Mech). 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.

Lenoir-Rhyne Sports Hall Of Fame History and Inductees Established by the Lenoir-Rhyne Board of Trustees in 1976, the Sports Hall of Fame is designed to recognize and perpetuate the noteworthy athletic tradition of Lenoir-Rhyne by honoring and memorializing individuals who have made extraordinary contributions to the tradition. The Hall operates under the authority of the Board of Trustees, according to a set of guidelines established by that group. Hall of Famers must not have represented Lenoir-Rhyne as student-athletes for 10 years immediately preceding the date of their induction and cannot be full-time members of the L-R staff at the time of their induction. Awards and administration are provided by the Piedmont Educational Foundation. Each year on the morning of the Homecoming football game, a special Hall of Fame induction ceremony is held highlighting the careers of each of the inductees.

2010 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 2010 recipient of the Clarence P. Stasavich Endowed Scholarship was Chandler Rearden. Rearden, a senior from Greenwood, S.C., is already one of Lenoir-Rhyne’s greatest offensive lineman in school history. Rearden has earned All-South Atlantic Conference First-Team honors (2008 and 2010) and became the first Bear ever to win the Jacobs Blocking Trophy last fall. The trophy is given annually to the top offensive lineman in the South Atlantic Conference. In addition, Rearden earned All-American accolades by five different publications in 2010: American Football Coaches Association, Daktronics, Don Hansen’s Football Gazette, d2football. com and the Associated Press. Rearden, a preseason All-American this fall, helped the Bears lead NCAA Division II in rushing yards last season at 319.5 yards per game.
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 2010 recipient of the David A. Moose scholarship was Nick Stutts. Stutts, a rising senior from Statesville, N.C., was the Bears’ No. 1 weapon in the passing offense in 2010. Stutts led Lenoir-Rhyne last fall in receptions (35), receiving yards (544) and touchdown catches (two). After three seasons with the Bears, Stutts has totaled 60 catches for 992 yards and four touchdowns. For his performance, Stutts was named to the 2011 All-SAC Second Team. An outstanding student as well, Stutts has a 3.45 grade point average while majoring in marketing and is a member of the South Atlantic Conference Commissioner’s Honor Roll.
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 2010 recipient of the Voigt R. Cromer award was Major Herron. Herron, a rising senior from Kingsland, Ga., became Lenoir-Rhyne’s full-time start behind center last year and led the Bears (7-4 in 2010) to their first winning season in 1994. Last year, Herron led the team in rushing (883) and passing yards (829) and topped the South Atlantic Conference with 16 rushing touchdowns. Herron also threw a pair of touchdown passes and helped L-R average over 400 yards per contest last fall. Herron, a member of the South Atlantic Conference Commissioner’s Honor Roll, currently sports a 3.52 grade point average and is majoring in Physical Education/K-12.
