SEASON PREVIEW
Eagles Anxious for Fresh Start with New Head Coach
OFFENSE: NCCU averaged 307.0 yards of total offense per game last season by rushing for 1,559 yards and passing for 1,818 yards. However, after exploding for 59 points in a 2010 season-opening shutout of former CIAA foe Johnson C. Smith, NCCU’s offense committed 26 turnovers and managed just 17.9 points per game the rest of the season. With eight starters returning on offense, Frazier is confident about his squad’s ability to run his up-tempo, multiple system. “I expect the offense to score some points,” he said. “We have enough weapons to be a true multiple offense and have true balance. I expect us to take care of the ball and take what the defense gives us. We are not going to force things. We may force tempo, but we won’t force plays.” The Eagles boast eight years of starting experience with their four returning offensive linemen, which is a solid foundation for the wall up front. However, depth is a concern. “We have 5-6 solid offensive linemen, but we need to add depth at that position,” said Frazier. “We lost a few older guys and that really affected our depth. We have some good young players coming in, but I don’t want to rely on them to play. The starters will be fine. I am concerned about our depth.” Dominique Moore (Sr., 6-3, 300, Roanoke, Va.) has two years of starting experience and provides flexibility on the line with the ability to play both guard and tackle positions. “He is one of the most athletic offensive linemen we have,” Frazier said. The new coach is also impressed with three-year starting center James Frye (R-Sr., 6-3, 325, Catawba, N.C.). Although banged up in the spring, Timothy Charity (R-Sr., 6-0, 288, Manteo, N.C.) is likely to return to the starting line-up for a third straight season. “We’ll be able to depend on him,” Frazier said about Charity. After transferring from Winston-Salem State University, Julian Gray (R-Sr., 6-4, 280, College Park, Ga.) earned a starting role last season and is expected to return to that role again in 2011. Joseph Figueroa (Jr., 6-1, 290, Fuquay-Varina, N.C.) gained valuable playing experience last season and may become a regular starter for the Eagles up front. “I like Joe Figueroa’s effort,” Frazier said. “He works extremely

hard.” The Eagles have three returning letterwinners at the tight end position. Part-time starters Detwan Robinson (Jr., 6-3, 246, Lewisberry, Pa.) and DeMarcus Hill (Sr., 6-0, 224, Charlotte, N.C.) are back, along with Joe Hutchinson (R-Jr., 6-2, 250, Charlotte, N.C.), who Frazier said “really surprised me” with his play-making ability in the spring. Frazier also spoke highly of incoming freshman Nathan Scruggs (Fr., 6-2, 215, Jacksonville, Fla.), who “could be a game-changer” at tight end. “I am excited about what he brings because of his ability to stretch defenses,” Frazier said. “He’s like a big receiver.” Speaking of receivers, Frazier is pleased with the group of returners in the receiving corps. “We’ve got some good ones,” he said. “I am excited to work with these guys. They are nice-sized, talented receivers.” Geovonie Irvine (R-Jr., 5-7, 156, Durham, N.C.) led the Eagles with 53 catches for 758 yards and five touchdowns in 2010. Although he is only 5-foot-7, Irvine stands tall when it comes to

After three straight losing gridiron seasons, including a 3-8 record a year ago, North Carolina Central University turned to Henry Frazier III, who has established a reputation for turning challenges into victories, as its new head football coach. Frazier welcomes the return of 53 letterwinners, including 13 starters, and feels the Eagles have what it takes to be a winning program in 2011. “We are going to be competitive and play extremely hard,” Frazier said. “Our goal is to have a winning season. It’s going to take some hard work, but it is something that is attainable.” As far as the keys to turn the program around, Frazier mentioned several on-the-field benchmarks that have proven to be a recipe for success during his career. “We want our offense to score 24 points a game, execute 65-75 plays and limit turnovers to one per game,” he said. “We want our defense to give up less than 17 points per game and create three or more turnovers a game. Those are general things that we talk about all the time, which if you do you’ll win most of the time.”

making big-time plays. “Geovonie plays so big, even though he is a short guy,” Frazier said. Another returning starter, Corey Harris (R-Sr., 6-4, 206, Chesapeake, Va.), had 19 receptions for 231 yards and a score last season. Stanley Wright (R-So., 6-0, 206, Charlotte, N.C.), who made four grabs for 75 yards with a touchdown last year, “just seems like he’s a physical, all-around solid football player,” according to Frazier. Demario Lackey (Sr., 6-1, 195, Solon, Ohio) also impressed the new coach during spring practice. Andrew Johnson (R-Jr., 6-2, 176, Fayetteville, N.C.), who missed last season due to injury, and Marvin Poole (R-So., 6-3, 185, Columbia, S.C.) are also among the 12 receivers Frazier is expected to bring into fall camp. NCCU’s top two rushers in 2010, Tim Shankle and Tony McCord, were both seniors, leaving the Eagles without 68 percent of the team’s ground attack. That leaves the door wide open for the squad’s third-leading rusher Arthur Goforth (Jr., 5-7, 165, Columbia, S.C.), who recorded 192 yards and three touchdowns on 38 carries last season for an average of 5.1 yards per rush. Goforth will have some competition, however, most notably from red-shirt freshman Andre Clarke (R-Fr., 5-10, 220, Mauldin, S.C.). “Andre Clarke has the complete package – size, strength, can catch the ball,” said Frazier. “He is a big-time running back.” Frazier also sees promise in Kevin Thompson (Fr., 5-11, 170, Washington, D.C.), saying he could be the fastest player on the team. “He is explosive,” the coach said. “Hopefully, we will red-shirt him, but he is going to be able to do a lot of things for us.” There will be three main contenders at fullback. Justin Manning (Sr., 5-9, 241, Raleigh, N.C.) took advantage of his playing time last season by running for a touchdown and catching three more to finish as the team’s fifth-leading scorer. Red-shirt freshman Jordan Toomer (R-Fr., 6-2, 235, Gastonia, N.C.) and true freshman Kevin Staton (Fr., 6-1, 250, Washington, D.C.) will also be in contention at fullback. With a new fast-paced, no-huddle offensive system in place, the role of the on-field signal caller is crucial. After going through

spring workouts, Frazier feels comfortable about his options at quarterback. “I think we’ve got some good ones,” Frazier said. With three seasons under his belt, veteran quarterback Michael Johnson (R-Sr., 6-2, 222, Durham, N.C.) ranks seventh on NCCU’s career passing list with 3,627 yards and 30 touchdowns through the air. Johnson was a bit banged up last season, yet managed to complete 57 percent of his passes for 1,179 yards and six touchdowns in eight games. “He’s been battling injuries, but I think a focused Michael Johnson is a pretty good quarterback,” said Frazier, a former college quarterback himself who led Bowie State University to a CIAA title and the NCAA playoffs. Jordan Reid (R-So., 6-1, 198, High Point, N.C.) made seven appearances and a start in his first year at NCCU, completing 55 percent of his pass attempts for 305 yards and two touchdowns. “Jordan is the complete package. He can run, he can throw, he’s smart and charismatic,” Frazier said. “He is going to pose major problems for opposing defenses.” Rookie Quenton Rucker (Fr., 6-2, 215, Atlanta, Ga.) “has a lot of those same characteristics to be a really good quarterback, but we’ll hopefully red-shirt him,” according to Frazier. DEFENSE: NCCU’s defense had its share of difficulties last year. After holding Johnson C. Smith scoreless in the first game of the season, the Eagles’ defense surrendered 359.2 yards of total offense and 26.1 points per contest, including an average of 15.5 points before halftime. Add on to the fact that five of the top six tacklers from a year ago were seniors, and the outlook may seem to be a bit gloomy. However, NCCU does return five starters to the defensive side of the ball and has a host of other hungry letterwinners returning to the mix. So, what does Frazier expect out of this season’s defensive unit? “I want an attacking defense - playing aggressive, flying around, getting after people,” he said. “We run multiple sets, but we still attack in each one of them.”

Smith (Fr., 6-0, 170, Upper Marlboro, Md.) competing for the job, stating, “I am not afraid to put a freshman at cornerback.” As the last line of defense, Frazier ideally sees the safeties as the vocal leaders of the defense because they have PRESEASON HONORS the whole field in front Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference of them. “I like having Preseason All-Conference Team smart safeties that are Roger Stewart - DL - 2nd Team able to think and make Arthur Goforth - RS - 2nd Team adjustments,” he said.

The Eagles have three returning starters and a wealth of veterans on the defensive line. According to Frazier, up front it starts with John Drew (Jr., 6-2, 334, Columbus, Ga.). “He is a special football player,” Frazier said. “He has the potential to be one of the best defensive players in the conference.” Xavier Proctor (R-Jr., 6-6, 272, Ellicott City, Md.) gathered 34 tackles, including 4.0 hits for a loss, last year from his defensive end position. “I am expecting good things from Xavier Proctor,” said Frazier. “He is a big, physical guy who uses his hands well and works extremely hard.” The Eagles’ top returning tackler, Roger Stewart (Sr., 6-1, 226, Charlotte, N.C.), who amassed 50 stops (32 solo) with a team-high 11.0 tackles for a loss, will move from linebacker to the defensive line as part of the switch to a 4-2-5 base defense. “Roger Stewart has a motor,” Frazier said. “He is constantly going.” Expecting to make an immediate impact as a transfer from Independence Community College in Kansas is Aaron Wallace (Jr., 6-2, 300, Washington, D.C.). “He is a wide body that can command a double-team,” said Frazier. “We have good depth up front,” said Frazier, rattling off the names of returners Chase Tripp (Jr., 6-2, 259, Chocowinity, N.C.), Charles Goodwin (R-So., 6-6, 260, High Point, N.C.), Tyrone Jackson (Jr., 5-9, 294, Fayetteville, N.C.), Mark Blakeney (R-Sr., 6-0, 270, Charlotte, N.C.), Sam Battle (R-Sr., 5-11, 238, Rocky Mount, N.C.), Chris Drew (R-Jr., 6-2, 246, Columbus, Ga.), Darian Pearson (Jr., 6-2, 241, Morganton, N.C.), and Willie Warren (Jr., 6-1, 235, Faison, N.C.); and newcomers Stephen Young (Jr., 6-2, 265, Woodbridge, Va./Winston-Salem State University), Joshua Wade (Fr., 6-1, 245, Washington, D.C.), Avery Johnson (Fr., 6-5, 300, Columbus, Ohio), Ledell Pleasure (Fr., 6-1, 250, Miami, Fla.), and Neil Williams (Fr., 6-2, 215, Chester, S.C.). “Whoever the four are that are out there, they will be good.” Frazier admits that the linebacker position is difficult to evaluate, since three of the top returners missed most, if not all, of spring practice due to injuries. Eliezer Sandifer (Sr., 5-11, 244, Miami, Fla.) is the position’s top returning defender with 28 takedowns in 11 games, including five as a starter. Brandon Outlaw (Sr., 5-11, 222, Atlanta, Ga.), Allonte Tuppins (R-So., 6-0, 234, Matthews, N.C.) and Elroy Powell III (R-Jr., 5-11, 230, Atlanta, Ga.) each appeared in 10 contests last season, but did not start. Frazier likes what he saw of Demontray Ryland (R-Fr., 6-1, 235, Portsmouth, Va.), Ty Brown (R-Fr., 6-4, 210, Charlotte, N.C.) and Kimani Jones (So., 5-11, 195, Fayetteville, N.C.) during spring practice, “but we are going to have to count on our older guys to step up for us,” he said. Frazier is also looking forward to the speed and strength rookie Prince DeJesus (Fr., 5-11, 210, Miami, Fla.) brings to the position, calling him “a tackling machine.” Entering fall camp, the new NCCU coach said, “The linebacker position is wide open.” The top returning cornerback is David Ingram (R-Sr., 5-8, 176, Waldorf, Md.), who tallied 27 tackles and six passes defended (3 interceptions, 3 pass break-ups) last season to break into the top 10 of NCCU’s career leaders in passes defended with 33. Malik Cromartie (R-Jr., 5-9, 160, Elizabethtown, N.C.), who had 15 stops and four passes defended last year, captivated coach’s attention with a strong spring camp, including two interceptions in the “Maroon vs. Gray” game. Frazier said he is interested in seeing what Brian Frierson (Sr., 5-8, 174, Hertford, N.C.) and Fred Ominde (Sr., 6-0, 183, Bloomington, Minn.) are going to do in the fall, calling them “big and physical.” The new coach is also open to the idea of rookies such as Theo Livington (Fr., 5-11, 185, Fayetteville, N.C.) and Ryan

and four passes defended (2 INT, 2 PBU) in 2010, had a “very good spring,” according to Frazier. The coach also said he was “impressed” with Reese, who recorded 31 tackles and four pass break-ups last season. Tyrique Williams (R-So., 5-11, 193, McDonough, Ga.) will also contend for time at safety. “We’ll have six safeties in camp,” said Frazier. “There is going to be some competition at safety. “ SPECIAL TEAMS: With last season’s place-kicker and punter Frankie Cardelle transferring to be closer to home, the NCCU kicking game will be revamped. Still, Frazier is confident about the special teams unit. “I think we have upgraded,” he said, referring to two key special teams newcomers. Taking over the place-kicking duties will be freshman Oleg Parent (Fr., 6-0, 170, Lake Forest, Calif.), who kicked seven field goals and 29 extra-points for the Trabuco Hills High School Mustangs as a senior, while also blasting 35 of his 50 kickoffs for touchbacks. “I think Oleg Parent is going to be a lethal weapon for us,” said Frazier. “I know he can punt too, but we want him to focus on extra points, kickoffs and field goals.” Matthew Cornelius (R-So., 6-0, 158, Charlotte, N.C.), who saw some action last year, will be the Eagles’ punter. Last season, Arthur Goforth (Jr., 5-7, 165, Columbia, S.C.) led NCCU’s return game. He averaged 14.2 yards per punt return and 24.8 yards per kickoff return, including a pair of touchdowns. Goforth will have some help and competition this season from rookie Dequadis Tucker (Fr., 5-7, 165, Atlanta, Ga.), who returned five kickoffs and a punt for touchdowns as a senior. Tucker also proved himself as the fastest high school sprinter in Georgia by running the 100-meter dash in 10.6 seconds to win the state championship. “Dequadis Tucker is special,” said Frazier. “He does some things on the football field that you just can’t coach.” TEAM WRAP-UP: As NCCU’s new head coach, Frazier is looking at his squad with a fresh perspective and feels the competition at each position

will make the Eagles a better team. “When we come to camp here in the fall, all spots are open,” he said. “The best guys that can play and learn the system are the ones that are going to play.” Regardless of who steps on the field for the Eagles, Frazier knows what fans can expect to see from the NCCU football program on game day. “You can expect discipline,” he said. “We will be extremely aggressive, we’ll play hard for a full 60 minutes and we will represent the university with a lot of pride.” SCHEDULE: The 2011 North Carolina Central University football schedule, which features five home contests, gives NCCU fans a lot to be excited about this coming season. With a new coaching staff on board, including head coach Henry Frazier III, the Eagles will be competing in their first full Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference (MEAC) schedule with eight total games against conference opponents. Not only will NCCU have a thrilling first full conference schedule, the Eagles will also have the honor to compete in the NFL Cleveland Browns Stadium in Cleveland, Ohio, where they will participate in the 2011 Cleveland Classic, taking on the Central State University Marauders on Sept. 10. On Thursday Sept. 1 (7:30 p.m.), the Eagles start their fifth season as a NCAA Division I-FCS competitor against the only NCAA Division I-FBS team on their 2011 schedule, Big East affiliate, Rutgers University. Rutgers finished with a 4-8 overall record in its 2010 season. The Scarlet Knights had their biggest 2010 victory against fellow MEAC member, Norfolk State, with a 30-0 final score. On Sept. 10 (12 p.m.), NCCU will compete in its fifth NFL stadium in the past decade as the Eagles play the Central State Marauders inside the Cleveland Browns Stadium. This contest will be a rematch from NCCU’s 2009 homecoming and this game will also be the Eagles only Division II opponent of the year. NCCU was victorious in the Oct. 31, 2009 meeting with Central State with a
SEASON PREVIEW The Eagles will celebrate their Homecoming game on Oct. 29 (2 p.m.) when the NCCU Eagles host reigning MEAC champions, Bethune-Cookman. The Wildcats return to O’Kelly-Riddick Stadium for the second year in a row. In last year’s meeting the Eagles fell short with a final score of 10-23 as they tried to knock down the undefeated Wildcats. On Nov. 5 (1 p.m.), the Eagles take their play back on the road as the travel north again up to Dover, Del., where they take on Delaware State University. Last year the Eagles struggled against the Hornets where they fell 7-29. NCCU still holds a 13-6 lead in the series with Delaware State. On Nov. 12 (2 p.m.), the Eagles will return home to honor their 2011 seniors in their “Senior Day” celebration, as they take on the Rattlers of Florida A&M University. Florida A&M finished 8-3 overall, with a MEAC final record of 7-1 in its 2010 slate. The Eagles and Rattlers have not met on the gridiron since 1973, and this will be Florida A&M’s first trip to NCCU in 55 years. NCCU wraps up its 2011 campaign 60 miles down the road in Greensboro, N.C., on Nov. 19 (1:30 p.m.) against the rival North Carolina A&T Aggies. After two straight years of nailbiting competition between the Eagles and the Aggies, last year’s electrifying match-up was brought back to O’Kelly-Riddick Stadium for the first time since 1992 and the Eagles did not let their sold out crowd down. The Eagles took an early lead on the Aggies and never looked back, defeating their biggest rivals with a final score of 27-16. A&T had a rocky 2010 season finishing up 1-10 overall and 1-7 in MEAC play, although the Aggies still hold a 46-31-5 advantage in the 87-year history of the rivalry against the Eagles.

final score of 53-22, and the Eagles now also lead the series against the Marauders, 2-1. On Sept. 17 (6 p.m.), NCCU will kick off its home competition against highway I-40 foes, Elon University. The last time the Eagles took on the Phoenix, back on Sept. 14, 1996, they were known as the Fighting Christians of Elon College. This game will mark the 11th meeting between the Eagles and the Phoenix, with Elon leading the series 7-3. A match-up of fresh MEAC faces will take place on Sept. 24 (6 p.m.) at home when the two newest league members, NCCU and Savannah State, battle it out on the gridiron. Fellow newcomer SSU had a bumpy 2010 season with a 1-10 overall record. The Tigers, like the Eagles, are looking to turn things around in 2011 with the welcoming of new head coach Steve Davenport. NCCU has won three out of the last four match-ups with the Tigers. On Oct. 8 (1:30 p.m.), the Eagles will make the trip down to Orangeburg, S.C., where they will take on the South Carolina State Bulldogs. South Carolina State, which captured the MEAC title in 2008 and 2009, finished second in the league last season with an overall 9-2 record and a 7-1 conference record. On Oct. 15 (4 p.m.), NCCU will return home for another game to help gain bragging rights in the MEAC when the Eagles take on Morgan State. In the 36th meeting between the Eagles and Bears, Morgan State returns to Durham for the first time in 30 years dating back to Oct. 10, 1981. MSU leads the series with NCCU 21-12-2. On Oct. 22 (2 p.m.), NCCU hits the road to take the short bus trip to Hampton, Va., to play Hampton University. The Eagles fell to Hampton a year ago 13-27 in Durham, N.C., making them hungry for revenge against the Pirates on their home field in Virginia.

HEAD COACH HENRY FRAZIER III
2011 NCCU Eagles Football
Head Football Coach First Season at NCCU Bowie State, 1993
Henry Frazier III was named North Carolina Central University’s 21st head football coach on Dec. 16, 2010. Prior to his arrival in Durham, N.C., Frazier spent seven seasons at the helm of the Prairie View A&M University Panthers football team, becoming the 30th head coach in PVAMU history on Dec. 22, 2003. He took over a program that experienced the nation’s longest losing streak from 1989-98, dropping 80 straight contests, and struggled through back-to-back 1-10 seasons in 2002 and 2003. In his first season at Prairie View, Frazier and staff led the Panthers to their most wins since 2001 by winning a total of three games. Prairie View also defeated arch rival Texas Southern for the first time in 15 years, beating the Tigers 25-7 in the 20th annual Labor Day Classic. In doing so, he led the Panthers to their first 2-0 start since 1964. In 2005, Frazier continued Prairie View’s upward swing and guided the Panthers to their best season since 1988 with a 5-6 record. Included among the highlights was the Panthers’ first victory over Jackson State since 1971 and the team’s first SWAC road win in 17 years. In addition, Frazier moved into some elite company and joined PVAMU legendary head football coach William “Billy” Nicks as the only other coach in Prairie View history to beat Texas Southern in consecutive seasons. During the 2006 campaign, Frazier and staff made history as they defeated Southern University for the first time since 1988 with an overtime victory. Also during the season, Frazier guided Prairie View to its first defensive shutout since 1987 and its first win in school history over Alabama A&M. In 2007, the Panthers enjoyed a four-game turnaround from the previous season as their 7-3 record marked the program’s first winning season since 1976. For his history-making efforts on the field, Frazier was selected as Coach of the Year by the College Sporting News and the Black College Sports Page. After a history-making 2007 season, Frazier continued to rewrite the record books in 2008 as he led the Panthers to a No. 25 national ranking after the team posted its best record since 1964 with a 9-1 season. Due to his efforts, the national media took notice as Frazier was named the Sheridan Broadcast Network/ Eddie Robinson Coach of the Year in addition to the American Football Coaches Association Region III FCS Coach of the Year. On the gridiron, the Panthers were dominant on both sides of the ball as they ranked second nationally in scoring defense and third in both total and rush defense. Offensively, Prairie View led the SWAC in scoring offense with 30.7 points per game in addition to topping the charts in rush offense (172.7 yards per game) and punting. In 2009, Frazier guided the Panthers to their first conference
40
championship since 1964, beating Alabama A&M 30-24 in the SWAC title game on Dec. 12. Prairie View posted its second straight 9-1 record, going undefeated in league play with its only loss a three-point setback at New Mexico State. For his efforts, Frazier was presented with a host of coaching honors, including SWAC Coach of the Year and a repeat selection as AFCA Region III FCS Coach of the Year. He also became the first coach from a historically black college or university to receive the Eddie Robinson Award, given annually by The Sports Network to the top coach in the Football Championship Subdivision. In 2010, after opening the campaign with a 1-3 record, Prairie View won six of its last seven contests to finish 7-4. Frazier’s Panthers continued to make history by defeating SWAC foe Southern University for the third consecutive year, which had not happened since 1962-64. In the Beginning… Frazier was born on March 20, 1968, in Washington, D.C. He was a four-sport student-athlete at Fairmont Heights High School in Capitol Heights, Md., lettering in football, basketball, baseball and golf. Following a standout high school gridiron career under the direction of head coach Ralph Paden, Frazier took his talents to nearby Bowie State University. Frazier played quarterback for BSU and went 18-3-1 as a starter. He guided the Bulldogs to the NCAA playoffs in 1988 and a Central Intercollegiate Athletic Association Championship in 1989.

After graduating from Bowie State in 1993 with a bachelor’s degree in physical education, Frazier accepted his first head coaching job at Central High School in Capitol Heights, Md., in 1994. In the three seasons before Frazier’s arrival, Central had a combined record of 3-27. During Frazier’s five-year stint as head coach, his squads recorded two second-place and two third-place finishes in the county. Following the completion of his master’s degree at Bowie State, Frazier continued to climb the coaching ladder and was named the head football coach at Bowie State in 1999. He quickly turned his alma mater into one of the CIAA’s best. In 2001, Frazier led Bowie State to its best season since 1989 with a 7-3 record. For his success on the field, he was selected as the Coach of the Year by the CIAA and 100 Percent Wrong Club in Atlanta, Ga. In addition, the 2001 Bulldogs also fielded the number one ranked pass defense and number seven ranked defense in NCAA Division II. After an impressive 2001 season, Frazier moved the BSU program to another level during the 2002 season with their first-ever CIAA Eastern Division title and CIAA championship game appearance. Continuing the winning tradition in 2003, he guided the Bulldogs to their third consecutive winning season with a second place finish in the CIAA Eastern Division. Frazier’s 26-24 career record at Bowie State currently stands as the most victories by any football coach at BSU. Frazier extended his coaching experience by working NFL summer internships with the Oakland Raiders (2005) and the Houston Texans (2006).

MID-EASTERN ATHLETIC CONFERENCE The Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference (MEAC) begins its 42nd year of intercollegiate competition heading into the 201112 academic school year. Located in Norfolk, Va., the MEAC is made up of 13 outstanding historically black institutions across the Atlantic coastline: Bethune-Cookman University, Coppin State University, Delaware State University, Florida A&M University, Hampton University, Howard University, University of Maryland Eastern Shore, Morgan State University, Norfolk State University, North Carolina A&T State University, North Carolina Central University, Savannah State University and South Carolina State University. The MEAC sponsors 15 Division I (FCS) sports with automatic qualifying bids for NCAA postseason competition in baseball, bowling, men’s and women’s basketball, men’s and women’s cross country, football, men’s and women’s tennis, men’s and women’s track and field, softball, and volleyball. MEAC student-athletes excel on and off the field and several have been recognized on ESPN The Magazine/CoSIDA Academic All-America and All-District teams. The MEAC awards two post-graduate scholarships of $5,000 each annually to one male and one female student-athlete who have excelled academically and athletically and are in their final season of intercollegiate athletics eligibility and competition under MEAC and NCAA regulations. HISTORY In 1969, a bold ad hoc group of innovators long associated with intercollegiate athletics met in Durham, N.C., to discuss the feasibility of organizing a new conference. From these discussions, they formed a steering and planning committee to fully investigate the idea, present a detailed report with recommendations to interested collegiate institutions and construct a workshop to outline proposals. After selecting a proposal and adopting a program, seven institutions (Delaware State College, Howard University, University of Maryland Eastern Shore, Morgan State University, North Carolina A&T State University, North Carolina Central University and South Carolina State College) agreed to become the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference. Their major objective was to establish, organize and supervise an intercollegiate athletic program among a compact group of educational institutions of high academic standards with a sound philosophy of co-curricular activities. The conference agreed to seek Division I status for its sports. The conference was confirmed in 1970, kicking off its first season of competition in football in 1971. In 1978, the MEAC reached a milestone when it selected Kenneth A. Free to be its first full-time commissioner. Free served the conference for 18 years before stepping down in May of 1996. In July 1996, Charles S. Harris was named commissioner and
54
served in the capacity until April 2002. On September 1, 2002, Dr. Dennis E. Thomas was named commissioner and has served in the position for nine years. The conference’s first expansion occurred in October 1979 when Bethune-Cookman College and Florida A&M University were voted into the MEAC as new members. Original members Morgan State, North Carolina Central and Maryland Eastern Shore withdrew from the conference at the end of the 1979-80 fiscal year. Maryland Eastern Shore was readmitted in 1981 and Morgan State returned in 1984. Florida A&M opted to resign in 1984 but rejoined the conference in 1986. Coppin State College was granted admittance in 1985, becoming the ninth member institution. The MEAC expanded again in the 1990s with the inclusion of Hampton University (1995) and Norfolk State University (1997). The conference expanded once again in 2007, adding Winston-Salem State University. Following the 2009-10 academic/athletic season, however, Winston-Salem State withdrew from the conference and returned to Division II. On July 1, 2010, the MEAC made its most recent expansion with the admittance of North Carolina Central and Savannah State University. On June 8, 1980, the MEAC was classified as a Division I conference by the NCAA. Prior to that year, the conference operated as a Division II conference. The month after it achieved Division I status, the MEAC received an automatic qualification to the NCAA Division I Men’s Basketball Championship. Currently, the conference has automatic qualifying bids for NCAA postseason play in baseball (since 1994), men’s basketball (since 1981), women’s basketball (since 1982), football (since 1996), softball (since 1995), men’s and women’s tennis (since 1998), and volleyball (since 1994). The MEAC initiated cross country in 1980, and North Carolina A&T earned the inaugural men’s crown. The first women’s cross country championship took place a year later, with Howard winning the first of its seven titles. Indoor Track and Field was also added in 1981, with South Carolina State capturing the men’s title and Howard winning the women’s crown. Tennis and golf returned as MEAC-governed sports in 1981 after a five-year hiatus. South Carolina State won all seven of the conference’s golf championships from 1972-1983 before the sport was discontinued after the 1983 championship. Baseball, which began in 1972, was discontinued following the 1977 season. It was brought back as a MEAC-governed sport along with women’s volleyball in 1983. Women’s softball became a MEAC-sanctioned sport in 1992. Bowling was officially sanctioned as a MEAC sport in 1999. The MEAC was the first conference to secure NCAA sanctioning for women’s bowling by adopting the club sport prior to the 199697 school year.

SEASON REVIEW 2010 REVIEW NOTEBOOK The Eagles of North Carolina Central University finished their fourth season of Division I-FCS competition with a 3-8 overall record. NCCU stormed out of the gates with a dominating 59-0 season-opening win over Johnson C. Smith. The Eagles also tasted sweet victory against long-time rival North Carolina A&T and celebrated a homecoming win versus Edward Waters. But the Eagles also had their share of troubles. They lost a heart-breaker to Winston-Salem State, fell victim to the No. 1-ranked team in the nation in Appalachian State and suffered an overtime setback at Georgia State. After opening the campaign with a 2-4 record, NCCU head coach Mose Rison was replaced by assistant head coach Darryl Bullock, who led the Eagles the rest of the season. Unfortunately for the maroon and gray faithful, the results were about the same. NCCU went 1-4 during that stretch, including its first-ever loss against Savannah State.

SALUTE TO THE 2010 SENIOR CLASS NCCU said goodbye to 13 senior football student-athletes: Tim Shankle, Tony McCord, Calvin Hillie, Donald Laster, Keon Williams, Ja’Quez Canty, Rashad Fox, Justin Campbell, Anthony Sharp, Teryl White, Kenneth Campbell, Mario Brice, and Eric Stanley.
Teryl White
WHITE REPEATS ALL-DISTRICT ACADEMIC HONORS For the second consecutive year, NCCU defensive lineman Teryl White has been voted to the CoSIDA/ESPN Academic All-District Football Team, as chosen by members of the College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA). A native of Macon, Ga., White was honored on the 2010 First Team of the University Division (Division I programs) in District 3 (North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Virginia). White has achieved a 3.36 overall grade point average as a business management and administration major at NCCU. An active participant in community service activities, White also served as president of NCCU’s Student-Athlete Advisory Committee. Last year, White was voted to the 2009 CoSIDA/ESPN the Magazine Academic All-District First Team and was selected to the 2009 Football Championship Subdivision Athletics Directors Association (FCS ADA) Academic All-Star Team. He was also the recipient of the LeRoy T. Walker Medallion of Honor as the 2009-10 NCCU Male Student-Athlete of the Year. SHANKLE SEVENTH EAGLE TO RUSH FOR 2,000 YARDS NCCU senior running back Tim Shankle ran for 86 yards and a touchdown against rival North Carolina A&T (Sept. 25) to become the seventh Eagle in school history to rush for 2,000 career yards. The Gainesville, Fla., native has amassed 2,340 yards during his NCCU career, including 561 yards in eight games during 2010. Shankle needs 54 yards to pass James Smith for fourth on the NCCU career rushing list. JOHNSON REACHES CAREER MILESTONE OF 3,000 PASSING YARDS NCCU red-shirt junior quarterback Michael Johnson threw for 134 yards versus Hampton (Oct. 9) to become the 10th Eagle in school history to throw for 3,000 career yards. The Durham, N.C., native has amassed 3,627 yards during his three-year NCCU career, including 1,179 yards through the air in eight games this season. Johnson ranks seventh on the NCCU career passing yards list and is eighth in career touchdown passes with 30. SPREADING THE WEALTH The Eagles have found a way to share the load this season.

NCCU CAREER LEADERS Career Passing Yards
GOFORTH MAKES SCHOOL HISTORY AS KICKOFF RETURNER NCCU sophomore return specialist Arthur Goforth made school history on Sept. 18 at Appalachian State by becoming the first Eagle to post two kickoff returns of 92 yards or more during a career. Amazingly, Goforth accomplished the feat in back-to-back weeks. On Sept. 11 versus WinstonSalem State, the Columbia, S.C., native returned a kickoff 97 yards for a touchdown to equal the third-longest return in the NCCU record books. On Sept. 18 at Appalachian State, he raced 92 yards for a score to make Eagle history. EAGLES MAKE BIG PLAYS IN ALL THREE PHASES In the first three games of the 2010 season, the Eagles posted four of the biggest plays in NCCU gridiron history. Against Johnson C. Smith on Sept. 2, junior linebacker Roger Stewart intercepted a pass and raced 83 yards for a touchdown, matching the ninth-longest interception return in school history. On Sept. 11 versus Winston-Salem State, sophomore Arthur Goforth returned a kickoff 97 yards for a touchdown to equal the third-longest kickoff return in the NCCU record books, followed by senior running back Tony McCord’s 93-yard touchdown scamper to set a new school record for the longest run from scrimmage. Goforth struck again in week three at Appalachian State with a 92-yard kickoff return for a touchdown. WHAT A WAY TO START On Sept. 2, a near capacity crowd took part in North Carolina Central University’s first Thursday night football game in 44 years, and the fans were treated to the second-largest victory in NCCU history. The host Eagles took advantage of five Johnson C. Smith University turnovers and cruised to a 59-0 season-opening victory in front of an announced crowd of 9,257 inside O’Kelly-Riddick Stadium in Durham, N.C. The shutout was NCCU’s first in three seasons (Sept. 8, 2007 – NCCU def. St. Augustine’s 6-0) and the biggest margin of victory since an 85-0 win over Fort Jackson to open the 1946 campaign (Sept. 21, 1946).

SHANKLE FIRST EAGLE TO RUSH FOR 100 YARDS SINCE 2007 On Oct. 9 against Hampton, NCCU senior running back Tim Shankle led the way with 107 rushing yards on 26 carries, marking the first time an Eagle has reached the 100-yard rushing milestone since Shankle ran for 127 yards at Western Kentucky on Oct. 27, 2007. Shankle’s only other 100yard effort came on Sept. 15, 2007, against Elizabeth City State inside Giants Stadium, when he posted 116 yards on 24 carries. The last Eagle not named Shankle to rush for 100 or more yards in a game was Greg Pruitt, Jr., who accounted for 117 ground yards in the 2006 CIAA Championship Game versus Elizabeth City State (Nov. 11, 2006).

A near capacity crowd took part in North Carolina Central University’s first Thursday night football game in 44 years, and the fans were treated to the second-largest victory in NCCU history. The host Eagles took advantage of five Johnson C. Smith University turnovers and cruised to a 59-0 season-opening victory in front of an announced crowd of 9,257 inside O’Kelly-Riddick Stadium in Durham, N.C. The shutout was NCCU’s first in three seasons (Sept. 8, 2007 – NCCU def. St. Augustine’s 6-0) and the biggest margin of victory since an 85-0 win over Fort Jackson to open the 1946 campaign (Sept. 21, 1946). The Eagles amassed 362 yards of total offense, including 239 yards on the ground. NCCU junior quarterback Keon Williams, who entered the contest with one career touchdown pass, threw four touchdown strikes on 14-of-22 passing for 110 yards on Thursday. Junior fullback Justin Manning caught the first two passes of his Eagle career and he took both to the end zone. Junior tight end Earthan Ward and sophomore receiver Lamar Whidbee also caught touchdown passes, while senior Tim Shankle and sophomore Arthur Goforth scored on the ground. NCCU’s vicious defense kept the Golden Bulls out of the red zone and held the visitors to 46 rushing yards as part of 233 total yards. A balanced defensive effort was paced by senior linebacker Calvin Hillie with six tackles, including 3.0 hits for a loss with a sack. Safeties Ja’Quez Canty and Marc Lewis added five stops each, while senior linebacker Rakeem Vick contributed four takedowns and a fumble recovery. The Eagles defense also got offensive, accounting for 14 points. Senior linebacker Anthony Sharp sacked JCSU quarterback Ryan Carter for a safety in the third quarter. The last two NCCU scores came courtesy of a James Reese 9-yard fumble recovery and an 83yard interception return by linebacker Roger Stewart. Sophomore kicker Frankie Cardelle added to the tally with a 35-yard field goal and six extra-point kicks. JCSU (0-2) was led by Carter, who completed 14-of-34 passes for 173 yards NCCU quarterback Keon Williams threw and rushed for 35 a career-high four touchdown passes in the yards.

Winston-Salem State .............................34 North Carolina Central ..........................27 September 11, 2010 O’Kelly-Riddick Stadium - Durham, N.C.
North Carolina Central University rallied back from a 20-6 deficit to take a fourth quarter lead, but Winston-Salem State University intercepted a pass in the end zone with less than two minutes left and scored the game-winning touchdown just 25 seconds later for a 34-27 victory in front of 9,711 fans inside NCCU’s O’Kelly-Riddick Stadium. WSSU (3-0) gained a 20-6 advantage on a 50-yard pass play from Kameron Smith to Dominique Fitzgerald with 4:15 remaining in the third quarter. Just when it appeared that the visiting Rams had total control of the game, NCCU sophomore Arthur Goforth returned the ensuing kickoff 97 yards for a touchdown, equaling the thirdlongest kickoff return in school history. After a defensive stop by the Eagles, NCCU senior running back Tim Shankle capped a five-play, 66-yard drive with a 1-yard touchdown scamper. Frankie Cardelle’s extra-point kick evened the score at 20-20 just four seconds into the final stanza. The NCCU defense held the Rams to a three-and-out on the following possession and the WSSU punt pushed the Eagles back to their own 7-yard line. On NCCU’s first play from scrimmage, a school record 93-yard touchdown run by senior running back

North Carolina Central ..........................16 #1 Appalachian State ............................44 September 18, 2010 Kidd Brewer Stadium - Boone, N.C.
Appalachian State University, the top-ranked team on the Division I-FCS level, amassed 524 total yards and scored on eight of its first 10 possessions to cruise to a 44-16 victory over the visiting Eagles of North Carolina Central University in front of 29,218 fans at Kidd Brewer Stadium in Boone, N.C. Appalachian (3-0) used a dominating ground game to score the first four times the Mountaineers touched the pigskin. After a 34-yard field goal by Jason Vitaris on the opening drive, ASU running back Devon Moore ran for back-to-back touchdowns, followed by a 52-yard scoring scamper by Travaris Cadet to provide the home team with the first 24 points of the contest. NCCU sophomore Arthur Goforth then made school history with a 92-yard kickoff return for a touchdown at 12:18 of the second quarter. Combined with his 97-yard kickoff return last week, Goforth is the first Eagle to post a pair of returns of 92 yards or more in a career, and he accomplished the feat in consecutive weeks. The NCCU defense than forced two punts before Vitaris added a 24-yard field goal with 5:25 left in the first half to give ASU a 27-7 cushion heading into the locker room. The Mountaineers wasted little time coming out of the break, as quarterback DeAndre Presley capped a five-play, 66-yard drive with a 2-yard dash into the end zone less than two minutes into the third quarter. Four minutes later, back-up signal caller Jamal Jackson found Tony Washington streaking down the sideline for a 35-yard touchdown reception to put ASU up 41-7. NCCU showed a spark with an 11-play, 74-yard drive that ended with a 2-yard touchdown run by senior Tim Shankle at 2:12 of the third quarter. Frankie Cardelle’s extra-point kick was blocked to keep the score at 41-13. The only scores in the fourth quarter were field goals of 29 yards by Vitaris and 42 yards by Cardelle.

Tony McCord capped a 21-0 run to give the Eagles a 27-20 at 12:09 of the fourth quarter. WSSU answered the challenge by converting on a fourthdown-and-12 play with a 27-yard connection from Smith to Tevin Brantley, giving the Rams a first down from the Eagles’ 2-yard line. On the next play, Smith found running back Tyrone Goldson for a touchdown to tie the score at 27-27 with 8:22 left in the contest. The two rivals exchanged possessions before NCCU used six plays to move 25 yards to the Rams’ 33-yard line. On first and 10 with just over two minutes remaining, NCCU junior quarterback Michael Johnson under-threw a pass intended for Geovonie Irvine in the end zone that was intercepted by Miami transfer Rashaun Jones for a touchback. With the NCCU fans deflated, WSSU wasted little time for the game-winner. Following an incomplete pass, Nicholas Cooper raced 49 yards to the Eagles’ 31-yard line. Smith then lofted a 31-yard over-the-shoulder touchdown pass to Brantley with just 94 seconds left. NCCU managed to move the pigskin to the Rams’ 24-yard line, but on third down with just eight ticks on the clock Johnson was hit as he threw and WSSU’s Jared Mitchell intercepted the wobbling pass to seal the victory. WSSU amassed 419 yards of total offense, with quarterback Smith accounting for 317 total yards. The Navy transfer completed 18-of-29 passes for 294 yards and five touchdowns, while also rushing for 23 yards. Brantley was on the receiving end of six passes for 166 yards and two scores. The WSSU ground game was topped by Cooper with 88 yards on 14 carries. NCCU (1-1) posted 365 total yards with a balanced 193 yards passing and 172 yards rushing. Johnson completed 22-of-39 passes for 193 yards, but snapped a seven-game streak with a touchdown passes and threw a pair of interceptions. Irvine gathered a careerbest eight receptions for 95 yards. Cardelle added to the scoring ledger with field goals of 20 and 34 yards. Defensive back Alton Keaton collected a game-high 11 tackles along with a fumble recovery to top the WSSU defense, while junior linebacker Eliezer Sandifer paced the Eagles with nine stops, a forced fumble and a pass break-up.

North Carolina A&T ...............................16 North Carolina Central ..........................27 September 25, 2010 O’Kelly-Riddick Stadium - Durham, N.C.
In front of a school record crowd of 15,173, North Carolina Central University took advantage of seven North Carolina A&T turnovers and 120 penalty yards to capture a 27-16 victory inside an overflowing O’Kelly-Riddick Stadium in Durham, N.C. The contest was the first in the series to be played in the Bull City since 1992. In the 82nd meeting between the rival Eagles and Aggies, the tone of the game was established in the first four possessions of the contest. After the two squads exchanged missed field goals, the visiting Aggies fumbled on their next three possessions. NCCU recovered the pigskin each time, resulting in three consecutive touchdowns in less than four minutes to provide the Eagles with

a 21-0 cushion. NCCU senior linebacker Donald Laster pounced on the first fumble to stop an A&T drive at the Eagles’ 34-yard line. Six plays later, senior running back Tim Shankle broke several tackles and bulled his way into the end zone from 17 yards out. Frankie Cardelle’s extra-point kick put the Eagles up 7-0 with 4:08 left in the first quarter. Just two plays into A&T’s next possession, a shotgun snap sailed over the head of quarterback Shelton Morgan and Laster scooped up the loose ball for his second fumble recovery to place the Eagles’ offense only 12 yards from pay dirt. After losing a yard on the first play, junior quarterback Michael Johnson drilled a pass to sophomore receiver Decona Roberts for a 13-yard touchdown at the 2:35 mark of the first quarter. The Aggies fumbled on the ensuing kickoff return and once again the Eagles recovered. This time it was red-shirt freshman Stanley Wright collecting the bouncing pigskin at the A&T 32-yard line. The drive opened with a 26-yard pass play from Johnson to running back Tony McCord all the way to the Aggies’ 6-yard line. McCord ran the ball to the 1-yard line, followed by a quarterback sneak by Johnson for the score with 22 seconds remaining in the opening stanza. Cardelle’s extra-point kick capped 21 unanswered points in a span of three minutes, 46 seconds. A&T responded by using a pair of pass interference calls to set up a 32-yard field goal by rookie kicker Sullivan Shidler to put the Aggies on the scoreboard at 13:15 of the second quarter. NCCU senior Tony McCord returned the ensuing kickoff 45 yards to the A&T 40-yard line, but the drive stalled at the 27-yard line and a 44-yard field goal try by Cardelle missed wide right. The Aggies took just six plays to move 73 yards, the final six yards courtesy of a touchdown scamper by junior running back Mike Mayhew at the 7:52 mark of the second quarter. NCCU senior Kenneth Campbell blasted through the line to block the extra-point kick to keep the score at 21-9. On NCCU’s next possession, two 15-yard penalties against the Aggies helped the Eagles move into position for a 37-yard field goal by Cardelle to make the score 24-9 at 2:37 of the second quarter.

SEASON REVIEW GSU won the coin toss and opted to play defense first. On NCCU’s possession, an apparent first down play was negated by an illegal formation penalty against the Eagles. After two incomplete passes, Cardelle was forced to try a 45-yard field goal, which had the distance, but missed the mark. On their first two offensive plays in overtime, the Panthers were tackled for negative yards. Facing third down and 13 yards to go, Hill scampered 12 yards to the 16-yard line. While not enough for the first down, it set up Vance for a manageable 33-yard field goal attempt for the win, which he nailed. The win is the fourth in a row for GSU, playing its inaugural season of football. Williams finished the contest with 154 yards on 11-for22 passing for the Eagles, while also rushing for 46 yards. Tim Shankle led the NCCU ground game with 76 of the team’s 175 rushing yards. Irvine collected five receptions for 92 yards with a score. Senior linebacker Calvin Hillie topped the NCCU defensive effort with 8 tackles, including a hit for a loss and a pair of pass break-ups. Fellow senior linebacker Donald Laster recorded six solo tackles with a stop for a loss and a forced fumble. GSU quarterback Little threw for 205 yards, completing 16of-29 pass attempts. Williams caught five balls for 103 yards and a score, while Hill topped the Panthers with 71 rushing yards. Fred Barnes amassed a game-high 10 tackles (five solo) along with an interception for GSU.

#14 Bethune-Cookman..........................23 North Carolina Central ..........................10 October 23, 2010 O’Kelly-Riddick Stadium - Durham, N.C.
North Carolina Central University’s upset bid of nationallyranked and undefeated Bethune-Cookman University fell short Saturday, as the No. 14 Wildcats took advantage of four turnovers to defeat the Eagles 23-10 inside O’Kelly-Riddick Stadium in Durham, N.C. In the debut of NCCU interim head coach Darryl Bullock, the Eagles defense held the nation’s most potent offense to 20 points fewer than its season average and 137 yards less than its average of 507 yards of total offense per outing. Bethune-Cookman ranks No. 1 among Division I-FCS programs in both scoring offense (43.8 points per game) and total offense (507.0 yards per game). In spite of NCCU’s stifling defensive effort, the Eagles turned the ball over four times, including three fumbles lost and an interception returned for a touchdown. Bethune-Cookman (7-0) took the opening kickoff and drove 75 yards on nine plays to paydirt on a 7-yard touchdown run by sophomore running back Isidore Jackson just three minutes and 36 seconds into the contest. The key play on the scoring drive was a 25-yard scramble by senior quarterback Matt Johnson to convert on third down and 15 yards to go. On NCCU’s first possession, the Eagles moved the pigskin to the B-CU 38-yard line before a pass by junior quarterback Keon Williams was intercepted by junior linebacker Ryan Lewis, who returned the pick 67 yards for a touchdown. The extra-point kick by Kory Kowalski provided B-CU with a 14-0 cushion at 7:52 of

but the Eagles threw three interceptions, lost a fumble and were flagged 11 times for 78 penalty yards in the loss. The Eagles dominated the first quarter, holding GSU (5-2) without a first down and only 21 total yards, while recording five first downs and 87 total yards of their own. NCCU, however, threw a pair of interceptions to keep the first 15 minutes scoreless. In the opening minute of the second quarter, the Eagles had a first down and 10 yards to go on the GSU 17-yard line, but senior running back Tony McCord under-threw his intended receiver on a halfback pass to stall the drive at the two-yard line. On the next play, a GSU running back was tackled in the end zone for an apparent safety, but the NCCU defense was flagged for an off-sides penalty to take away two points. With a little breathing room, the Panthers moved the pigskin to midfield before senior linebacker Donald Laster stripped the ball from Kelton Hill with Marc Lewis recovering the loose ball for the Eagles. On the ensuing drive, Arthur Goforth capped a five-play, 59yard stretch with a 29-yard touchdown run to post the first points of the game on the scoreboard with 7:46 remaining before the break. GSU responded with an 11-play, 58-yard drive to post three points on the scoring ledger courtesy of a 32-yard field goal by Vance with 3:34 left in the second quarter. The score remained 7-3 in the visitors’ favor heading into the locker rooms. On GSU’s second possession of the second half, the Panthers converted on a third down and 10 yards to go from their own 15yard line to extend an 85-yard drive that ended with a 15-yard touchdown run by Travis Evans. Vance’s extra-point kick made the score 10-7 in favor of the home team at the 5:08 mark of the third quarter. NCCU regained the advantage when quarterback Keon Williams threw a bomb to Geovonie Irvine for a 47-yard touchdown connection with 9:58 remaining in regulation. Cardelle made the extra-point kick to provide the Eagles with a 14-10 cushion. On the following drive, GSU twice converted on third-andseven to set up a 24-yard touchdown pass from Drew Little to Danny Williams, giving the Panthers a 17-14 lead with 5:36 on the fourth quarter clock. NCCU faced fourth down and four yards to go on its own 40yard line with less than three minutes left to play. Williams’ screen pass attempt was deflected by GSU linebacker Jake Muasau and the Panthers took over at 2:55, needing only a first down to run out the clock and seal the victory. On third down and 13 yards to go, Little completed a 12-yard pass to Sidney Haynes, setting up a critical fourth down and one situation. Little’s quarterback sneak up the middle was snuffed by the NCCU defense and marked shy of the first down marker. The Eagles regained the ball with 50 seconds left on their own 31-yard line, needing a field goal to tie the ballgame. Williams completed three straight passes to Irvine (18 yards), Corey Harris (10 yards) and Decona Roberts (14 yards) to put the Eagles within striking distance. With 10 seconds on the clock, Cardelle lined up for a 44-yard field goal. His kick missed wide left, but GSU called a timeout just prior to the snap. Cardelle took advantage of his second opportunity by booming a career-long 44-yard field goal to send the contest into overtime.

North Carolina Central University is one of 17 institutions making up the University of North Carolina System. It is situated on 135 acres in Durham, in the heart of North Carolina’s Research Triangle. History: In the American South in 1909, a fully segregated social structure was hardening fast. It was in this historical context that a black pharmacist named James Edward Shepard chose to charter the National Religious Training School and Chautauqua for the Colored Race, in Durham. The first students arrived July 5, 1910. In 1925, Shepard’s institution became North Carolina College for Negroes, the first state-supported liberal arts college for African-Americans in the country. Today, the institution named North Carolina Central University is one of 17 members of the University of North Carolina System. It serves a

DEPARTMENT OF ATHLETICS North Carolina Central University’s athletics programs have enjoyed regional and national recognition for years. Fourteen men’s and women’s sports teams participate in National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) competition at the Division I level (Football Championship Subdivision) as members of the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference (MEAC). The 1989 men’s basketball team won the NCAA Division II Men’s National Championship. Other men’s intercollegiate teams include football, indoor and outdoor track, tennis, baseball, golf and cross country. Women’s intercollegiate teams include basketball, volleyball, indoor and outdoor track, tennis, softball, bowling and cross country. Several former student-athletes and coaches are nationally and internationally known. Heading the charge of the 1996 Atlanta Olympic Games was Dr. LeRoy T. Walker, President of the U.S. Olympic Committee, who lifted the Eagle track & field program to international prominence during his unprecedented tenure as head coach at
The 1989 men’s basketball team won the NCAA Division II National Championship by defeating Southeast Missouri State 73-46 in the title game on March 25, 1989. The Eagles also captured an NCAA Division II Regional Championship in 1993.
NCCU. Under Walker’s reign, the Eagles produced 30 national titles, 77 all-americans, and eight Olympic medalists. Legendary basketball practitioner, John B. McLendon, a member of the National Basketball Hall of Fame, established a remarkable record of 239-68 (.779) as an Eagle head coach from 1940 to 1952. A student of the late Dr. James Naismith, the inventor of basketball, McLendon is credited with the development of the zone press, fast break and four corners offense. Boston Celtic great Sam Jones, a student-athlete under McLendon and a fellow Hall-of-Famer, became the first black player to be drafted in the first round after scoring a record 1,745 points during his stellar NCCU career.
Internationally-renowned artist, Ernie Barnes, best-known for his famous paintings seen on the 1970s sitcom “Good Times,” played football for NCCU prior to a professional gridiron career with the Baltimore Colts, San Diego Chargers and Denver Broncos. The LeRoy T. Walker Physical Education Complex houses a multi-purpose gymnasium, Olympic-sized swimming and diving pool, athletic training facilities, strength and fitness center, and much more. O’Kelly-Riddick Stadium hosts NCCU football action for a capacity crowd of 10,000 dedicated Eagle fans. In November, McDougald-McLendon Gymnasium lightsup with men’s and women’s basketball excitement (3,056 capacity).

began year one of its reclassification to NCAA Division I (Football Championship Subdivision) membership. On July 1, 2010, NCCU rejoined the MEAC as a provisional member. Teams and individual student-athletes have competed in national tournaments in several sports, including football, men’s and women’s basketball, men’s and women’s indoor and outdoor track & field, women’s cross country, women’s volleyball, softball and men’s tennis, winning national championships in men’s basketball and track and field. During the university’s membership in the CIAA and MEAC, teams won 41 conference championships, made 21 NCAA regional appearances, won three NCAA regional titles, and earned two team national championships (1989 NCAA Division II Men’s Basketball and 1972 NAIA Men’s Outdoor Track & Field). More than 55 student-athletes have captured individual NCAA and NAIA national championships. That level of success extended to the international stage. Student-athletes represented NCCU in six consecutive Olympic Games from 1956-76 in the sport of track & field. During that time, the individuals captured eight Olympic medals, including five gold medals.
North Carolina Central University boasts a rich tradition in athletic competition, dating back to the same academic year the University opened its doors for the first time. The first organized sports team at what was then the National Training School and Chautauqua was baseball, fielding a squad in the spring of 1911. Since that time, Eagle student-athletes have competed in sports such as boxing, wrestling and swimming, in addition to the sports currently offered by NCCU: baseball, men’s and women’s basketball, women’s bowling, men’s and women’s cross country, football, men’s golf, softball, men’s and women’s tennis, men’s and women’s indoor and outdoor track & field, and women’s volleyball. NCCU joined the Central Intercollegiate Athletic Association (then named the Colored Intercollegiate Athletic Association) in 1928. In 1971, NCCU was one of the founding members of the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference, established as an NCAA Division II conference. In 1980, NCCU returned to the CIAA, an NCAA Division II conference, when the MEAC opted to make the move to the NCAA Division I level of competition. NCCU remained in the CIAA until the summer of 2007, when the University Larry Black holds his two Olympic medals.

DIRECTOR OF ATHLETICS DR. INGRID WICKER-MCCREE
2011 NCCU Eagles Football
Director of Athletics Fourth Year as AD at NCCU 18th Year Overall at NCCU George Washington, 1989
Ingrid Wicker-McCree, Ed.D. was appointed as the Director of Athletics at North Carolina Central University on April 23, 2008, after holding the interim position for five months. She officially began her new leadership role on May 1, 2008. Wicker-McCree, who joined the rank of only a handful of women athletic directors in the UNC system, previously served as NCCU’s associate athletics director for internal affairs. She has served in a variety of leadership positions in both conference and national level organizations, most notably as president of the Central Intercollegiate Athletic Association (CIAA) Executive Board from 2004-06, becoming only the second woman to ever hold that position in the league’s history. In addition, she served as a member of the NCAA’s Division II Legislation Committee from 2003-07. In recognition of her work, Wicker-McCree received the CIAA Leadership Award for Service as president of the Executive Board and was named the CIAA Senior Woman Administrator of the Year in the spring of 2006. Now in her 16th year at NCCU, Wicker-McCree has been one of the driving forces behind NCCU’s reclassification to NCAA Division I. Since 1998, she has overseen the internal operations of the Athletics Department, including all compliance and eligibility programs. Although in the early stages of her tenure as Director of Athletics, Wicker-McCree has already established herself as a strong and forward-thinking leader. Under her supervision, several booster clubs have now joined forces into one focused support organization - the Eagle Club.
