SEASON PREVIEW
Veteran NCCU Squad Returns 61 Letterwinners, 17 Starters
NCCU Offense Looking to Regain Scoring Output from 2006 Championship Season During the first three season of the Division I reclassification process, NCCU averaged 18.3 points per game against Division I opposition, compiling a 7-16 record in those contests. With nine returning starters, Rison sees the potential for the 2010 offensive lineup to return to the form of the 2006 squad that scored at a school record pace of 30.9 points per game under his direction as offensive coordinator. “I want to get back to where we were in 2006 as far as scoring points,” said Rison. “I feel we will score more points, move the ball more consistently and be more explosive.” Rison’s confidence stems mainly from the return of starting quarterback Michael Johnson (R-Jr., 6-2, 230, Durham, N.C.). Last season, his first as the full-time starter, Johnson threw for 1,931 yards (175.5 avg.), a single-season total only four other signal callers in school history have accomplished. Johnson completed 153 of his 268 passes (57.1 percent) with 18 touchdown tosses, equaling an impressive pass efficiency rating of 132.31. As a team, the Eagles amassed an average of 304.4 yards of total offense per outing. “Michael is a student of the game, is excited about football, and no doubt is a leader,” Rison said. “He has tremendous command of the offense and controls the line of scrimmage. Without a question, we will go as he goes. I hate to put that kind of pressure on him, but I know he will respond.” Two seasons ago, Johnson shared the starting quarterback duties with Keon Williams (R-Jr., 6-0, 183, Charlotte, N.C.), providing the Eagles with an experienced and capable back-up. Redshirt freshman Eric Brown (6-3, 180, St. Louis, Mo.) and Winston-Salem State transfer Jordan Reid (R-Fr., 6-2, 190, High Point, N.C.) are available for additional support behind center. The task of keeping the quarterback safe will be the responsibility of a massive and experienced front line. The projected starting five for the Eagles are all two-year starters on the college level with an average size of 6-4, 319 pounds. “We have been working extremely hard making sure the one place we improved is the offensive line,” Rison said. “I can’t tell you how joyful I have been to be able to talk about the young men we have coming in.” Rison is speaking about the addition of three transfers with the size and experience to make an immediate impact. Standing an impressive 6-8, 350 pounds, Shaun Millien (Jr., 6-8, 350, Roslindale, Mass.) enjoyed backto-back conference championships as a two-year starter on the offensive line at Dean College in Franklin, Mass. Armand Poole (R-Sr., 6-2, 285, Grayson, Ga.) started for the past two seasons on the offensive front at Hofstra before the Pride dropped the football program. Julian Gray (R-Jr.,

6-4, 290, College Park, Ga.) also started the 2008 and 2009 campaigns as an offensive lineman at Winston-Salem State. Eric Stanley (R-Sr., 6-5, 347, Sterling, Va.) is back after missing 2009 with a preseason injury. “He has fully responded to treatment and will be back and ready to go 100 percent,” Rison said. Senior James Frye (6-3, 325, Catawba, N.C.) returns for a third consecutive year as NCCU’s starting center. “I expect him to come back even stronger than last year,” said Rison. Other Eagles returning to the offensive front with starting experience include Timothy Charity (Sr., 6-0, 286, Manteo, N.C.), Joseph Figueroa (So., 6-0, 277, Fuquay-Varina, N.C.), Alex Johnson (Jr., 6-2, 277, Monroe, N.C.), Dominique Moore (Jr., 6-3, 290, Roanoke, Va.) and Markee Watts (Jr., 6-6, 394, Charlotte, N.C.). Rison also mentioned newcomer Daniel Harrison (So., 6-5, 330, Wendell, N.C.) as a key addition to the deep offensive line. “We return the nucleus of starters and others with game experience, which gives us a very formidable offensive line,” said Rison. “We will have a line with some experience and we will have depth behind them that can come into a game and we will not lose anything.” The improved offensive front will be a welcomed sight for the Eagles

For the past three years, the North Carolina Central University football program has undergone a transformation, from back-to-back conference champions and NCAA Division II playoff participants to new Division I-FCS members experiencing the harsh realities of a team in transition. Heading into their fourth year as a Division I competitor, the fledgling Eagles, who have endured thousands of miles of travel to road contests against nationally-ranked opposition, are now battle-tested, mature, experienced and ready to soar. The 2010 edition of the gridiron Eagles welcomes back 61 returning letterwinners, including 17 starters (9 offense, 8 defense), consisting of 10 seniors, six juniors and one sophomore. “It’s going to be different,” NCCU head coach Mose Rison said about the upcoming campaign, his fourth as the program’s head mentor. “We have been a team in transition. We have played a lot of road games, and played with a lot of youth. Now we have seven home games and we are going to have experienced depth.”

running backs. NCCU’s top three rushers, accounting for 98 percent of the squad’s ground attack in 2009, are all on this season’s roster. Senior running backs Tim Shankle (5-10, 200, Gainesville, Fla.) and Tony McCord (6-0, 188, Stone Mountain, Ga.) combined to average more than 100 yards per game last year. Shankle led the way with 732 rushing yards (66.5 yards per game/4.1 yards per attempt) and eight touchdowns, while also catching 20 passes for 143 yards. McCord was second on the team with 359 ground yards (39.9 yards per game/4.7 yards per attempt) and a score, along with seven catches for 41 yards. “They have been our two most consistent backs,” Rison said about Shankle and McCord. “I am expecting big things out of both of them. They understand what this offense is all about.” After sitting out the 2009 season, Justin Campbell (R-Jr., 5-6, 197, Monroe, N.C.) will look to regain the form that made him one of the top three running backs in his first two years with the Eagles. “Justin’s return gives us a proven backup.” Last season’s third-leading rusher, Arthur Goforth (So., 5-7, 168, Columbia, S.C.) “is a nice change of pace,” according the Rison. With rookies Andre Clarke (Fr., 5-10, 220, Mauldin, S.C.) and Duval Smith (Fr., 5-10, 185, Roswell, Ga.) joining the backfield mix, Rison said, “we are a good, solid seven deep at running back.” At fullback, junior Justin Manning (5-8, 245, Raleigh, N.C.) and redshirt junior George Mobley (6-0, 260, Charlotte, N.C.) will compete for the starting role. “Justin is a good physical blocker who understands the offense,” said Rison, “while Mobley is a big, strong physical football player who I expect to be ready to go after missing the 2009 season.” Although losing the services of the team’s leading receiver in Will Scott (45 catches, 706 yards, 10 touchdowns), Rison still believes “the wide receiver position may be the strength of our offense.” Junior Geovonie Irvine (5-7, 150, Durham, N.C.) is the squad’s top returning receiver after collecting 38 receptions for 582 yards and three touchdowns in his college debut. “When people look at his stature they take him for granted, but he is one of the best wide receivers I have ever been around,” said Rison. “We will find a way to get the ball in his hands.” Andrew Johnson (Jr., 6-2, 176, Fayetteville, N.C.) tied for the teamhigh with an average of 15.7 yards per reception, finishing his first NCCU season with 19 catches for 298 yards and three trips to the end zone. “Andrew has shown tremendous speed, good hands, and has good size,”

said Rison. “I look forward to watching him play.” Redshirt junior Corey Harris (6-4, 200, Chesapeake, Va.) is slated to return after suffering a preseason injury that ended his 2009 campaign. Although recording only one catch for eight yards last season, junior Decona Roberts (6-1, 203, Indian Trail, N.C.) has really come into his own, according to Rison, adding that Roberts “had the best spring of all the wide receivers.” Joining the Eagles from Winston-Salem State is Lamar Whidbee (R-So., 6-3, 180, Hertford, N.C.), the Rams’ second-leading receiver in 2009 with 16 catches for 208 yards as a starter in all 11 games as a redshirt freshman. A pair of redshirt freshmen, Stanley Wright (6-0, 206, Charlotte, N.C.) and Marvin Poole (6-3, 176, Columbia, S.C.), are expected to make a significant contribution this fall with a year of practice under their belts. At the tight end position, redshirt junior Earthan Ward (6-4, 218, Edenton, N.C.) will also command attention in the opposition’s defensive secondary. Ward was responsible for 19 receptions for 248 yards (13.1 yards per catch) and two touchdowns. “Earthan has tremendous hands and has improved as a blocker,” Rison said. “He has played a lot of football, and is a big factor in what we do.” Reserve tight end Detwan Robinson (So., 6-4, 246, Lewisberry, Pa.) “is very athletic with great hands and speed.” Veteran Defense Remains the Strength of the NCCU Football Team With eight returning starters, including the team’s top three tacklers, a veteran defensive unit stands ready to protect the Eagles’ nest and pick up where it left off a year ago. After starting out the 2009 season with a turnover margin of minuseight (-8), NCCU posted a plus-10 (+10) turnover margin in the last five games. On the season, the aggressive Eagles amassed 63 tackles for a loss with 18 sacks, 37 quarterback hurries, 16 interceptions, seven recovered fumbles and six forced fumbles. “The strength of our football team is the defense,” Rison said. “We have a lot of veteran football players. The defensive nucleus is something to be excited about.” On the defensive line, the Eagles return all three starters and welcome three transfers to provide quality depth up front.

193, McDonough, Ga.). “They have the ability to be special football players,” said Rison. Adding to the size and physicality of the NCCU PRESEASON HONORS secondary will be Rochester Community & Technical Lindy’s 2010 College Football College transfer Fred Ominde Preview Magazine (Jr., 6-0, 180, Rochester, Minn.), who earned allDONALD LASTER conference honors with 47 FCS Independent Preseason Defensive Player of the Year tackles (37 solo), 13 pass break-ups, two interceptions, Phil Steele’s 2010 College Football two sacks and two forced Preview Magazine fumbles last season.

Senior defensive tackle Teryl White (6-5, 290, Macon, Ga.) enters his final season after collecting 114 tackles, including 22.0 tackles for a loss, in the past two years. “I expect Teryl White to be Teryl White,” Rison said with high praise for the team leader. In his first season as a defensive end, Xavier Proctor (Jr., 6-6, 254, Ellicott City, Md.) made a big impact with 30 tackles (14 solo), including 4.5 hits for a loss. “I expect him to play at a high level,” Rison said. Before being limited with an injury, nose guard Mark Blakeney (Sr., 6-0, 287, Charlotte, N.C.) stood toe-to-toe against some tough competition in the middle of the line of scrimmage, tallying 16 tackles. “Mark was outstanding before his injury last year, and I expect him to return to form,” said Rison. A big addition up front is transfer Shane Moore (R-Jr., 6-1, 275, Greensboro, N.C.), who played in the Conference USA at Marshall University after earning Guilford County Defensive Player of the Year honors three times while at Northeast Guilford High School. “He has tremendous speed and athleticism,” said Rison. “I expect him to be unblockable.” A pair of Winston-Salem State transfers, Chase Tripp (So., 6-2, 245, Chocowinity, N.C.) and Charles Goodwin (R-Fr., 6-6, 260, High Point, N.C.), provide much needed depth up front. “It’s a situation where we need them all,” Rison said about the wealth of talent available on the defensive line. “It’s going to be a long season.” The top five linebackers returning for NCCU, all with starting experience, combined for 243 tackles last year, an average of nearly 50 takedowns apiece. Leading the way is the ferocious duo of Calvin Hillie (Sr., 6-1, 235, Concord, N.C.) and Donald Laster (Sr., 6-0, 238, Shaker Heights, Ohio). Hillie topped the Eagles with 70 tackles in 2009, including 6.0 hits for a loss with a sack, three interceptions, six pass break-ups, three quarterback hurries, a recovered fumble and a forced fumble. “Calvin Hillie is one of the most physical football players I have been around,” said Rison. “He has good speed and a nose for the football. He can flat out bring it.” Laster was all over the field last season, placing second on the squad with 63 takedowns, including 10.0 tackles for a loss with a team-high 5.5 sacks and an astounding 13 quarterback hurries (the next best Eagle was lineman Teryl White with 4). He added an interception, two pass deflections, a recovered fumble and a forced fumble. “I think Donald Laster is our best defensive football player,” said Rison. “He lays it on the line every single play. He has been a great student and a tremendous leader. His teammates look up to him. I expect him to play lights out.” Fellow senior linebacker Rakeem Vick (5-10, 213, Fort Washington, Md.) tied for sixth on the team with 39 tackles last season. “When healthy, he has played outstanding football,” said Rison. “He has matured and has become one of the vocal leaders of the team.” Junior linebacker Roger Stewart (6-1, 216, Charlotte, N.C.) also recorded 39 tackles a year ago and placed third on the squad with 7.5 hits for a loss with 2.0 sacks. Another junior, Eliezer Sandifer (5-11, 217, Miami, Fla.), contributed 32 stops last season and Rison feels that “this is his year.” The secondary is led by a pair of returning starting cornerbacks, David Ingram (Jr., 5-8, 173, Waldorf, Md.) and Rashad Fox (Sr., 6-0, 180, Washington, D.C.). Ingram amassed three interceptions and 15 pass breakups for a total of 18 passes defended, a mark no other Eagle has reached since 1996. He also added 39 tackles (31 solo) with 2.0 hits for a loss and a forced fumble. Fox also finished with 39 tackles, while contributing two interceptions and four pass deflections. “During the past two years, these two cornerbacks have played a lot of good football,” said Rison. “They will take control of the secondary to help some of the young safeties.” The leadership role in the secondary will also fall on senior Ja’Quez Canty (5-9, 184, Winston-Salem, N.C.), who will start on a full-time basis at strong safety for the first time in his Eagle career. Canty tallied 35 tackles with an assisted sack and a pass break-up as a junior. The free safety position will be tackled by sophomore Marc Lewis (6-1, 174, New Bern, N.C.) and redshirt freshman Tyrique Williams (5-10,

left up to three true freshmen. The uncertainty did not sit well with Rison. “I was nervous going into last year because we did not know what we had,” he said. “Unlike last season, we have guys who have played in a game. It’s a nice situation.” The place-kicking job was won by Frankie Cardelle (So., 5-10, 193, Salisbury, N.C.), who made 11-of-20 field goals (55 percent) and converted 31-of-33 extra-point kicks to lead the team in scoring with 64 points. “Frankie was a bit inconsistent, but he has a strong leg and I expect him to kick a lot better as a sophomore.” Cardelle also finished the 2009 campaign as the team’s punter and kickoff specialist, averaging 36.6 yards per punt with a long of 48 yards. Sophomore Brian Haselsberger (5-11, 180, Oak Ridge, N.C.) carried most of the punting load in 2009, averaging 35.2 yards per punt with a long of 53 yards. He also placed 10 punts inside the 20-yard line. Redshirt freshman Matthew Cornelius (6-0, 157, Charlotte, N.C.) will also compete for snaps as a punter. Sophomore Nickolas Hahula (5-9, 258, Rocky Mount, N.C.), who served as the regular holder and started his rookie season as a kickoff specialist, returns as another valuable place-kicker. “I feel a lot better about our kicking game than I did last year,” said Rison. “We will have 2-3 kickers that we can put in the game and get the job done.” Starting the plays on special teams for the third year in a row will be long snapper Zachary Means (Jr., 5-11, 180, Rocky Mount, N.C.). “I sleep a lot easier at night because we have guys that are more experienced now,” Rison said. “It is a huge plus for us.” 2010 Schedule Features Thursday Opener, Rival A&T among Seven Home Games The 2010 North Carolina Central University football schedule features seven home contests, including a Thursday night season-opener and the return of rival North Carolina A&T to O’Kelly-Riddick Stadium, along with four games against conference foes. The 2010 NCCU schedule also includes the continued series with rival Winston-Salem State, a return trip to Appalachian State, the first home contest against Hampton in 19 years, a game inside the Georgia Dome, and Bethune-Cookman’s first visit to O’Kelly-Riddick Stadium. “It’s a very competitive schedule,” said Mose Rison, entering his

fourth season as head football coach at NCCU. “We play seven games on our campus, which is a big plus. Our kids enjoy playing in front of our student body and our fans. “Without a question, this is a great home schedule, with the likes of Winston-Salem State, A&T, Hampton, Bethune-Cookman and Old Dominion coming to Durham. Plus, the return of former CIAA opponent Johnson C. Smith and Edward Waters for Homecoming,” Rison added. “We’re excited.” The 2010 campaign will mark the first time in school history that NCCU hosts seven regular-season home games. In each of the prior three seasons since moving to NCAA Division I competition, NCCU hosted just four home contests. The Eagles boast a 9-3 record at home in the past three seasons. The Eagles will open their fourth NCAA Division I-FCS campaign with a rare Thursday night home game on Sept. 2 (7 p.m.) against former CIAA adversary Johnson C. Smith. This will be the first meeting between the Eagles and the Golden Bulls since 2006, NCCU’s last season in the CIAA. NCCU leads the series 48-18-3. NCCU returns home on Sept. 11 to host the Rams on Winston-Salem State at 6 p.m. The Eagles earned an 18-10 road victory over the Rams last season to take a one-game lead in the series, which stands at 22-21. WSSU will play the 2010 season as a Division II member of the CIAA. The Eagles will play their first of four road games on Sept. 18 by returning to Boone, N.C., to play Appalachian State, winners of three FCS national championships. Last year, the Mountaineers defeated the Eagles 55-21 in their first meeting. ASU went on to win their fifth-straight Southern Conference title, advanced to the national semifinals, posted an 11-3 overall record and garnered a No. 3 national ranking in the final FCS poll. On Sept. 25 (6 p.m.), the rival Aggies of North Carolina A&T return to Durham, N.C., for the first time since 1992. From 1994-2005, the two battled in the “Eagle-Aggie Classic” at Carter-Finley Stadium in Raleigh, N.C., before returning to a home-and-home series. Two years ago, NCCU opted to host its home game at Memorial Stadium in Charlotte, N.C., where more than 20,000 fans witnessed the Eagles beat the Aggies, 28-27. Last season, A&T edged NCCU 23-17 in double overtime in Greensboro, N.C. The Eagles have won three of the last four matchups, but A&T holds a 4630-5 advantage in the 86-year history of the rivalry.
SEASON PREVIEW In 2009, NCCU won four of its last five games to finish with a 4-7 record for the second consecutive season. The Eagles are entering their fourth season of competition on the NCAA Division I-FCS (Football Championship Subdivision) level after winning back-to-back conference championships during their final two years (2005, 2006) in the NCAA Division II Central Intercollegiate Athletic Association.

“People have been calling and talking about how this will be one of the greatest atmospheres we have had here at O’Kelly-Riddick Stadium in a long time,” Rison said about the Aggies’ return to Durham. “It’s going to be an electric night.” After an open week, the Eagles welcome another team to O’KellyRiddick Stadium that has not visited in a while. On Oct. 9 (4 p.m.), the Hampton Pirates travel to Durham for the first time since the end of the 1991 campaign. In last season’s contest, Hampton rallied for a 31-24 victory in Virginia, marking the Pirates’ sixth consecutive win a series that stands at 15-5 in favor of HU. On Oct. 16, NCCU will compete in its fourth NFL stadium in the past decade as the Eagles play the Georgia State Panthers inside the Georgia Dome, home of the Atlanta Falcons. Georgia State enters its first year of football competition and is slated to join the Colonial Athletic Association in 2012. On Oct. 23 (2 p.m.), the Wildcats of Bethune-Cookman will take the NCCU gridiron for the first time. The only other meeting between these future MEAC foes took place on Sept. 24, 1994 in Daytona Beach, Fla., when the Eagles won by a score of 24-5. On Oct. 30 (2 p.m.), NCCU celebrates Homecoming against the Tigers of Edward Waters in the sixth and final home game of the season for the Eagles. In the prior three meetings, all NCCU victories, the Eagles have outscored EWC 149-26, including a 34-14 win in the last matchup in 2008. After playing seven of their first eight contests in North Carolina, the Eagles venture to Delaware State on Nov. 6. NCCU holds a 13-5 advantage in the series, including victories in the last four meetings against the Hornets. The last time these two teams met, the Eagles defeated DSU, 26-23, on Sept, 11, 2004, in Dover, Del. NCCU travels to Savannah State on Nov. 13. The Eagles beat the Tigers, 35-14, in Durham last season. NCCU leads the series 4-0-1. The 2010 season concludes with NCCU’s “Senior Day” on Nov. 20, as the Eagles host the Monarchs of Old Dominion. Last year’s match-up was a thriller, with NCCU rallying from a 28-0 deficit to tie the game, only to have the host Monarchs capture the victory in Norfolk, Va.

EAGLE SOARS INTO NFL
NCCU’S MANNS SIGNS NFL FREE AGENT CONTRACT WITH CINCINNATI BENGALS Four-Year Starter on the Eagles’ Offensive Line Part of Two CIAA Championships CINCINNATI, Ohio - In April 2010, North Carolina Central University senior offensive lineman Gabriel Manns signed a free agent contract to join the National Football League as a member of the Cincinnati Bengals. Manns participated in the Bengals rookie mini-camp on April 29-May 2 in Cincinnati. A native of Winston-Salem, N.C., Manns was a four-year starter on the left side of the Eagles’ offensive line at both guard and tackle positions. During his standout career (2005-06, ‘08-09), he played in all 46 games, while missing only two starts, both during the 2006 season due to injury and to allow a senior teammate to start on Senior Day. “It means a lot,” Manns said about him attaining his goal of joining the NFL. “It shows that hard work does pay off.” Manns recalled his most memorable NCCU gridiron experience as winning back-to-back CIAA Championships in 2005 and 2006. The 2005 Eagles became the first team in school history to win 10 games, with the 10th victory coming in dramatic, come-from-behind fashion in the conference title game. In 2006, the Eagles went undefeated during the regular-season to earn recognition as the Black College National Champions. As a senior, Manns was selected to participate in two postseason all-star football games, including the ninth annual East Coast Bowl (Nov. 28, 2009 in Petersburg, Va.) and the inaugural Russell Athletic HBCU Bowl (Dec. 19 in Montgomery, Ala.). He was also named to All-Independent Team by Phil Steele’s 2009 College Football Preview magazine. “The whole football experience and being a part of the team has been incredible,” Manns said. “I feel like I have learned a lot at NCCU. I appreciate all of the support that I have received and want to thank everyone that helped me along the way.” Born Dec. 9, 1986, in Detroit, Michigan, he is the son of Adora and Fredrick Manns.

HEAD COACH MOSE RISON
2010 N CCU Eagles Football
Head Football Coach Fourth Season as Head Coach Fifth Season at NCCU Central Michigan, 1978
Coach Mose Rison enters his fourth season as head coach at NCCU. He accepted the challenge of leading the Eagles football program to the NCAA Division I (Football Championship Subdivision) level on Feb. 6, 2007, when he was announced as the school’s 19th head football coach. He came to NCCU as the assistant head coach, offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach in 2006, but after one season accepted the role of head coach for the first time in his 25-year coaching career. In 2009, NCCU’s high level of competition and determination did not translate into victories during the first half of the season. The Eagles were ahead at Hampton with less than two minutes remaining, held a second-half lead at nationally-ranked Liberty, dropped two contests in overtime, and took an advantage into the second quarter against three-time national champion Appalachian State. Battered but not defeated, NCCU responded by winning four of the final five games of the season to finish the campaign with a 4-7 record. Even in the lone setback during the season-ending run, the Eagles amazingly rallied from a 28-0 second-half deficit to tie the game in the fourth quarter. In 2008, a young and inexperienced squad got off to a slow start against

one of the toughest schedules in the FCS ranks. Still, the squad continued to battle and improve, resulting in victories in three of the last four contests to finish the season with a 4-7 record. In 2007, Rison led the Eagles to a winning 6-4 record in the program’s first season of NCAA Division I (FCS) competition. In 2006, Rison directed NCCU’s offense to 371 points (30.9 per game), the most in school history, during the Eagles historic 11-1 campaign. Under Rison’s tutelage, freshman quarterback Stadford Brown was named as the “SBN Sports Doug Williams Offensive Player of the Year,” the 2006 CIAA Offensive Player of the Year and CIAA Rookie of the Year.

Rison told the group that when he received the invitation from reading recovery teach Marion Horn, he was more excited about the opportunity to read to the class than the opening of spring football practice.

MID-EASTERN ATHLETIC CONFERENCE The Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference (MEAC) enters its 41st year of operation heading into the 2010-11 academic school year. 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.

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. Dissected from these discussions, a steering and planning committee was formed to fully investigate the idea, present a detailed report with recommendations to interested collegiate institutions, and then construct a workshop to outline proposals. After 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. Its major objective was to establish, organize and supervise an intercollegiate athletic program among a compact group of educational institutions of high academic standards and 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, a milestone was reached when the MEAC 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 of 1996, Charles S. Harris was named commissioner and served in the capacity until April 2002. On September 1, 2002, Dr. Dennis E. Thomas was named the 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
50
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 1990’s with the inclusion of Hampton University (1995) and Norfolk State University (1997). The conference expanded in 2007 adding Winston-Salem State University. Following the 2009-10 academic/athletic season Winston-Salem State withdrew from the conference and returned to Division II. On July 1, 2010 the MEAC made its final 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 National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA). Prior to that year the conference operated as a Division II conference. The following month 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 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. Morgan State dominated the conference in wrestling winning 13 of 24 conference championships during the sports tenure (19721995). 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. Before that season, the MEAC was the first conference to secure NCAA sanctioning for women’s bowling by adopting the club sport prior to the 1996-97 school year.
SEASON REVIEW 2009 REVIEW NOTEBOOK The Eagles of North Carolina Central University finished their third season of Division I-FCS competition with a 4-7 overall record. NCCU’s high level of competition and determination did not translate into victories during the first half of the season. The Eagles were ahead at Hampton with less than two minutes remaining, held a second-half lead at nationally-ranked Liberty, dropped two contests in overtime, and took an advantage into the second quarter against three-time national champion Appalachian State. Battered but not defeated, NCCU responded by winning four of the final five games of the season to finish the campaign with a 4-7 record. Even in the lone setback during the season-ending run, the Eagles amazingly rallied from a 28-0 second-half deficit to tie the game in the fourth quarter.

SEASON REVIEW NCCU OFFENSE LEAVES OPPOSITION WITH 50/50 VISION NCCU scored at least 50 points in back-to-back games for the first time in 41 years. The Eagles cruised past Central Methodist 52-7 on Oct. 17, then defeated Central State 53-22 on Oct. 31 after a bye week. An NCCU squad had not accomplished that feat since the 1968 season. That year, the Eagles beat Shaw 60-8 on Nov. 2, 1968, then crushed Virginia Union 60-6 on Nov. 16, 1968. SCOTT’S 179 RECEIVING YARDS AT A&T RANKS 11TH IN NCCU HISTORY NCCU senior receiver Will Scott amassed 179 receiving yards and a touchdown on five catches at North Carolina A&T on Oct. 3 to equal the 11th-ranked performance in school history.

EAGLES PLAY FIRST OVERTIME GAME AT O’KELLY-RIDDICK STADUIM Prior to a 13-10 double overtime setback against Morehead State University, the NCCU Eagles had never played an overtime game inside O’Kelly-Riddick Stadium. NCCU EAGLES MAKE DEBUT ON ARTIFICIAL TURF The NCCU Eagles made their debut on the newly-installed artificial turf (Mondoturf) on Sept. 19 against Morehead State. In an effort to maximize the use of its athletic fields and reduce financial and human resources, the NCCU Department of Athletics initiated the process of installing artificial turf inside O’Kelly-Riddick Stadium. On July 13, Medallion Athletic Products, Inc., the company contracted to perform the artificial turf installation, broke ground on the Eagles home football field. MANNS SIGNS FREE AGENT CONTRACT WITH CINCINNATI BENGALS In April 2010, NCCU senior offensive lineman Gabriel Manns signed a free agent contract to join the National Football League as a member of the Cincinnati Bengals. He participated in the Bengals rookie mini-camp on April 29-May 2 in Cincinnati. Manns was also selected to participate in two postseason all-star football games, including the ninth annual East Coast Bowl (Nov. 28, 2009 in Petersburg, Va.) and the inaugural Russell Athletic HBCU Bowl (Dec. 19 in Montgomery, Ala.). NCCU MEETS DUKE ON THE GRIDIRON FOR FIRST TIME NCCU and Duke University have long shared a home city, but the two Durham institutions had never shared the gridiron. On Sept. 26, 2009, the Eagles and Blue Devils became football opponents for the first time during the “Bull City Gridiron Classic” at Wallace Wade Stadium.

North Carolina Central ..........................24 Hampton .................................................31 September 5, 2009 Armstrong Stadium - Hampton, Va.
North Carolina Central University played well enough to win its season-opener at MEAC foe Hampton University on Saturday night in Hampton, Va. The visiting Eagles, however, could not overcome a handful of miscues and a baker’s dozen worth of penalties, as Hampton pulled out a 31-24 victory inside Armstrong Stadium. NCCU was flagged 13 times for 106 penalty yards, not including the positive yards gained on plays that were negated by the yellow markers on the field. Most notably, an apparent 57-yard touchdown strike to red-shirt freshman receiver Andrew Johnson that would have put the Eagles on top by eight points with three minutes left in the game, was called back from a holding penalty. That was immediately followed by a delay of game penalty and an illegal motion infraction that backed the Eagles up to their own 24-yard line. Trying to protect a one-point lead and facing fourth down and 32 yards to go, NCCU rookie punter Brian Haselsberger could not handle a bouncing snap from center and managed to only kick the ball back to the line of scrimmage. Two plays later, Hampton senior running back LaMarcus Coker rumbled 29 yards for the game-winning touchdown with 1:28 left. The Pirates converted the two-point conversion to make the margin seven points, which held up as the final score. NCCU out-gained the Pirates with 284 yards of total offense, including 152 yards rushing, compared to 226 total yards by the home team. NCCU red-shirt sophomore quarterback Michael Johnson was responsible for three touchdowns, including two through the air and one via the ground. He completed 9-of-21 passes for 123 yards and two touchdowns with a pair of interceptions. Johnson, who was taken to the locker room early in the third quarter for treatment of cramps, returned to the contest to engineer a fourplay, 41-yard drive that he capped with an 11-yard dash into the end zone to put the Eagles on top 24-23 with 11:08 remaining in the contest. Senior receiver Will Scott caught three passes for 18 yards and a touchdown, while adding a 48-yard rush to set up a 30yard field goal by rookie kicker Frankie Cardelle. Junior tight end Earthan Ward had four receptions for 59 yards to lead the Eagles, while red-shirt freshman Geovonie Irvine made the most of his one catch with a 34-yard touchdown. NCCU’s rushing effort was paced by junior Tim Shankle with 58 yards on 10 carries. The Eagle defense flew around the field, making 10 tackles behind the line of scrimmage with three sacks, forcing four fumbles and recording two turnovers. Junior linebacker Calvin Hillie topped the NCCU defense with seven tackles, including 2.5 hits for a loss with a forced fumble and a pass break-up. Junior safety Ja’Quez Canty recorded six stops with a sack, while junior linebacker Donald Laster added five solo takedowns with a sack, a forced fumble, a recovered fumble and three quarterback hurries. Junior corner back David Ingram contributed four tackles, two pass break-ups, an interception and a forced fumble for the Eagles.

Liberty brought a stunned capacity crowd back into the game just before the halftime break when back-up quarterback Mike Brown ran into the end zone from seven yards out with 28 seconds left before the intermission, making the visitors’ halftime cushion 10-7. The Flames stormed out of the locker room with a 10-play, 52-yard drive, capped by a 1-yard touchdown catch by Dominique Jones at 9:51 of the third quarter to take their first lead of the game. Liberty went up two scores after recovering a Johnson fumble on a sack at the 1-yard line and punching it in on the next play to make the score 21-10 with 10 minutes remaining in the contest. Liberty running back B.J. Hayes put the game on ice when he broke through the Eagle defensive line and raced 74 yards for a back-breaking touchdown at 7:57.

Morehead State University rookie kicker Rainer Duzan booted a 45-yard field goal on the final play of double overtime to defeat North Carolina Central University 13-10 at O’KellyRiddick Stadium in Durham, N.C. on Saturday. Duzan missed a 38-yard field goal attempt on the first possession of the first overtime session. On NCCU’s first overtime possession, MSU sacked sophomore quarterback Michael Johnson for a 7-yard loss, followed by two incomplete passes. NCCU freshman kicker Frankie Cardelle, who sent the contest into overtime with a 38-yard field goal at 4:10 of the fourth quarter, came up short on the potential game-winner from 49 yards away. On the second play of the second overtime, Johnson’s pass was deflected and intercepted by senior linebacker Wes McDermott, providing the visiting Eagles a chance to win the game. The NCCU defense pushed MSU back four yards in three plays, but Duzan silenced the crowd of 7,917 with his gamewinning heroics. NCCU amassed a season-high 328 total yards (100 rush, 228 pass), compared to 265 yards of total offense (144 rush, 121 pass) by MSU. However, untimely penalties and missed opportunities doomed the host Eagles. A first-quarter holding penalty negated a long touchdown run by NCCU junior Tim Shankle, and the Eagles came up empty in both of their trips into the red zone. “We left a lot of opportunities out on that field today,” said NCCU head coach Mose Rison. “We did not have a good week of practice and we came out flat. We were able to battle back and tie the game, but it just was not enough against a very good Morehead State football team.” Johnson finished the contest with 228 yards of 20-of-41

UNIVERSITY MISSION
North Carolina Central University is a comprehensive university offering programs at the baccalaureate, master’s, and selected professional levels. It is the nation’s first public liberal arts institution founded for African-Americans. The
university upholds a strong liberal arts tradition and a commitment to academic excellence in a diverse educational and cultural environment.

The mission of the university is to prepare students academically and professionally to become leaders prepared to advance the consciousness of social responsibility in a diverse, global society. The university will serve its traditional clientele of African-American students; it will also expand its commitment to meet the educational needs of a student body that is diverse in race and other socioeconomic qualities. Teaching, supported by research, is the primary focus of the university. As a part of that focus, the university encourages its faculty to pursue intellectual development and rewards effective teaching and research. The university recognizes, however, the mutually reinforcing impact of scholarship and service on effective teaching and learning. North Carolina Central University, therefore, encourages and expects faculty and students to engage in scholarly, creative, and service activities, which benefit the community. WANT TO KNOW MORE?

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

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.

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.

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. She also spearheaded the effort to have artificial turf installed in O’KellyRiddick Stadium. Wicker-McCree began her career at NCCU as the head coach for women’s volleyball and softball. She became the first coach in NCCU history to win conference championships in multiple sports, capturing the school’s first-ever CIAA titles in softball (1998) and volleyball (1999, 2004, 2005). A three-time CIAA Volleyball Coach of the Year (1999, 2002, 2005) and former member of the NCAA Division II National Volleyball Committee, Wicker-McCree earned 239 match victories in 12 seasons as head volleyball coach at NCCU. She was also inducted into the NCCU Athletic Hall of Fame in 2004 as head coach of the Ingrid Wicker-McCree with NCCU Chancellor Charlie Nelms after being appointed as Director of Athletics on April 23, 2008. 1998 softball team.
