The SAC The South Atlantic Conference is in its 35th year of athletic tradition and excellence. The conference has enjoyed tremendous success due to dedicated people building a premier athletic conference throughout its history. The distant forerunner of the South Atlantic Conference was the North State Atlantic Conference (NSIAC). The NSIAC was formed when the “Little Six”, as it was called, broke from the North Carolina Intercollegiate Athletic Conference in 1930. These charter members included Lenoir-Rhyne College, Atlantic Christian, Catawba College, Guilford College, Elon College, and High Point University. The North State continued to grow over the next 30 years, adding Western Carolina (1933), East Carolina (1947) and Pfeiffer (1960). A name change became necessary when the league accepted Newberry as its first South Carolina member in 1961. The league took on the name Carolinas Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (CIAC) on May 20th of that year. The CIAC saw several changes in the following years as East Carolina withdrew from the league in 1962. Appalachian State and Western Carolina followed in 1971 and 1976. All three landed in the Southern Conference. The South Atlantic Conference was founded in 1975 solely as a football conference. The league received its name from a contest in which Kurt Brenneman of Greensboro, NC became the first to submit the SAC-8 moniker. The SAC-8 consisted of Carson-Newman College, Catawba College, Elon College, Gardner-Webb University, Lenoir-Rhyne College, Mars Hill College, Newberry College, and Presbyterian College. Dr. Fred Bentley, of Mars Hill College, was named league president for its inaugural year, by a vote of the member institutions. After the first season of play in the SAC-8, the Bears of Lenoir-Rhyne College captured the first football title. In 1989, the league’s 15th year of operation, the South Atlantic Conference became a comprehensive, multisport conference. Doug Echols was named the league’s first Commissioner. That year the South Atlantic Conference sponsored 10 sports - football, men’s

posed of the same eight member institutions from 1975 until 1988, when Wingate University replaced Newberry College as the eighth member institution. Newberry later rejoined the conference in 1996. In July of 1998, Tusculum College was admitted as a member of the league, and Lincoln Memorial University began play in the conference in the 2006-07 academic year. Brevard College was admitted as a provisional member in 2007 and a full member in 2008. In 2008, Echols retired after serving as Commissioner for 19 years and Patrick Britz was hired as the new Commissioner. In July 2010, Anderson (S.C.) University became the league’s 10th member. Today the conference is a group of ten private, liberal and civic arts colleges and universities, similar in size and athletic philosophy. Since becoming eligible for NCAA Division II postseason play in 1993, the league has sent representatives from all of its sponsored sports to NCAA postseason play. The league membership now includes Anderson University in Anderson, S.C.; Brevard College in Brevard, N.C.; Carson-Newman in Jefferson City, TN; Catawba College in Salisbury, NC; Lenoir-Rhyne University in Hickory, NC; Lincoln Memorial University in Harrogate, TN; Mars Hill College in Mars Hill, NC; Newberry College in Newberry, SC; Tusculum College in Greeneville, TN; and Wingate University in Wingate, NC.

2010 SOUTH ATLANTIC CONFERENCE FOOTBALL
Brevard Tornados The Tornados made an impact in the South Atlantic Conference in just their second season as members, showing they could adapt to the physical play of the league in posting a 7-4 record, recording their first win in conference play and seeing players named to both the All-Conference and All-Region teams. Head Coach Paul Hamilton looks to continue to build the Tornados into a program to be reckoned with, but the challenge will be greater this season as Brevard will look to replace the leadership of the first graduating class of seniors in program history. However, Brevard returns 14 starters from last year’s squad, including eight on the BC offense as the Tornados will look to once again make an impact in their third season in the conference. Headlining this season’s team are a pair of defensive leaders on the team in junior safety Michael Gist and junior linebacker Prince Simunyu. Gist finished second in the South Atlantic Conference last season with five interceptions, but led the conference in interception return yards and defensive touchdowns in garnering preseason First Team All-SAC honors. Simunyu led the South Atlantic Conference in tackles for loss with 14.5 on the season and was among the leaders in sacks and tackles in also receiving First Team All-SAC recognition. The offensive side of the ball should be a major strength for the Tornados as senior quarterback Michael Crumbaker returns to take the reins of the program for his second season. Last season, Crumbaker finished second on the team with 539 rushing yards and passed for another 336 while accumulating six total touchdowns in guiding the Tornados to their best finish since 1935 when Brevard went 8-1-1. Crumbaker will be backed up by Aaron Reese as the junior took part in team activities in the spring. In the backfield, the Tornados return last season’s leading rusher in Neville Bryce as the senior fullback from Cades, S.C. gained 598 yards on the ground and five touchdowns on his way to garnering preseason Second Team All-SAC honors. The fullback averaged 5.0 yards per carry last season and will be joined in the backfield by fellow senior Derek Church. Church shared the touchdown lead with Bryce and will be expected to gain the tough yards between the tackles. Another senior, John
Compton, will also be returning to provide support to the Tornados on the ground. When Brevard takes to the sky, the Tornados bring back two of their top returning receivers as junior Eric Watts and senior Justin Fleming return to give Crumbaker his favorite targets. Watts is expected to see time at tight end this season and provides both size and strength at the position. Watts scored twice at Wingate and caught the game-winning touchdown in overtime against Tusculum. Fleming, moving from slot to wide receiver, recorded the longest play from scrimmage for the Tornados last season with a 74 yard carry against Chowan. Also returning for Brevard will be junior Jerel Drew, who will see time at the slot position, and a pair of sophomores in Anthony Cestrone and Michael Smith. A major key to the Tornados success last season and expected to be a strength again will be the offensive line. Although Brevard lost Second Team All-SAC center Charles Byars to graduation, the Tornados return their other four starters, led by this year’s preseason AllSAC Second Team pick, Darrell Neely. The four starters returning, Neely, Caleb Campbell, Jacob Richardson and Lamont Carpenter, helped pave the way for the NCAA Division II’s 13th leading rushing attack, as Brevard averaged 225.8 yards per game on the ground. Expected to challenge for a spot on the line and provide depth are juniors Adam Cordell, Tyler Fisher and Jordan Bookheart as well as sophomores Chris Novack and Dusty Holder. The Tornados have key players returning all over the field on the defensive side of the ball this season and will look to Gist and Simunyu to provide direction and leadership under Coach Scott Brumett. The 2009 Brevard defense finished second overall in scoring defense in the South Atlantic Conference, allowing an average of 21.8 points per game and second overall in total defense at 318.6 yards per game. Brevard returns three to the defensive line this year. Senior Chris Lumbu and sophomores Eric Conner and Zach Taylor return to stabilize the group, leading the returners with 1.5 sacks last season and 25 total tackles on the year, while Conner also chipped in a sack. Also expecting to make an impact on the defensive line for Brevard are Curtis Washington and Trey Esslinger.

Neville Bryce Simunyu leads the returning linebackers, finishing second on the team last season with 85 tackles, and will be joined by sophomore returner C.J. Wilson. The remaining two linebacker positions will be filled out in the preseason as a deep stable of returners including Andrew Barrentine, Stephen Hicks, Drew Stanley, David Taylor, Ricky Morton and Charles Chambers as well as several newcomers to the program will look to see time on the field and provide depth. In the defensive backfield, Brevard loses seniors Donald Hudson and Austin Williams, but returns a pair of juniors in Gist and Salonik Amos as the duo combined for eight takeaways and four touchdowns last season. Michael Duff is in the battle to line up opposite Gist in the secondary as well as returners Chris Jones, Phillip Curcio, Trey Bostick, and Rashad Dirton. Watts returns also to handle the punting duties for the Tornados as well and was named to the preseason All-SAC Second Team after a season in which he finished second overall in the South Atlantic Conference with a 39.7 yards per attempt average, including a 75 yard punt launched last season against Tusculum. Chase Henry returns for his final season as place kicker for the Tornados. Henry currently sits one point behind the all-time BC scoring leader and connected on two of his four field goal attempts last season and was 27 for 32 in his extra point attempts. - Seth Montgomery Brevard Sports Information Director

2010 SOUTH ATLANTIC CONFERENCE FOOTBALL
Carson-Newman Eagles The 2010 Carson-Newman football season marks head coach Ken Sparks’ 31st season at Mossy Creek. The Eagles enter the year off of their best season in a decade, an 11-3 campaign which included a national semifinal appearance, an 11-game win streak, and a 7-0 South Atlantic Conference record. But despite all the success a season ago and three-straight SAC titles, with only five returning starters and minimal experience, 2010 could be one of Sparks’ toughest challenges at the Creek. After a record-setting season in ’09 that saw the Eagles lead the nation in rushing offense and score 70 points twice, C-N offensive coordinator Mike Turner returns only five players that started in any game last season. If there is good news, it is that four are preseason AllSAC selections, led by All- American Michael Tribue at right tackle and tough-nosed junior running back Nate Inman. After four seasons of backing up and catching passes from Alex Good, fifth-year senior Doug Belk takes the reins in C-N’s split-back veer option attack. Belk was one of the most versatile players in the country a season ago. He took snaps, caught passes, and returned kicks. Despite being the odds-on favorite to start the season as the Eagles quarterback, Belk is a preseason second team All-SAC selection at wide receiver after catching 18 balls for 280 yards and four touchdowns. He also rushed for 124 yards and was 3-of-6 passing. Sophomores Brandon Haywood and Aaron Large are the only experienced returners behind Belk. A slew of true freshman could factor in as backup, and maybe even the starting role. First-team All-SAC selection Nate Inman is the key returnee in the Eagles’ backfield. Last season, he averaged 49 yards per game and scored six TDs, which was third on the team. The spot opposite Inman, filled by All-American Buck Wakefield’s record-setting season a year ago, is wide open. Sophomore Jamie Bennett carried 33 times for 163 yards and two TDs last year. Red-shirt sophomores Otis Rumph and Brandon Baker will fight Bennett, and a stable of talented freshman, for snaps. Rumph is recovering from a leg injury after rushing for 122 yards and three TDs as a freshman in ’08, while Baker carried 16 times for 90 yards and a TD last season. Junior Shane Vandergriff could also get carries.
Nate Inman If a true freshman can become a factor at the quarterback position, one of the first moves Ken Sparks and Mike Turner might make could be to keep Doug Belk on the field at wide receiver. Senior Keith Hardy, along with sophomores Christian McFall and Patrick Miller could all play into the Eagles’ receiving corps. Redshirt sophomore Marcus Huie also returns. He started the season-opener at Winona State, but suffered a season-ending injury in the loss. The Eagles return only one experienced tight end. Junior Matt Cox emerged as an effective blocker down the stretch last season. One All-American and two first-team All-SAC selections could be the strength of an inexperienced Eagle offensive line. Senior right tackle Michael Tribue is the anchor of the Eagle line. The first-team AllAmerican won the Jacobs Blocking Trophy last season, which is awarded to the SAC’s top lineman. Sophomore center Kevin Day, a first-team All-SAC selection, started the last 13 games last season at center. Seniors Matt Shillington and Michael Manis both made spot starts last season. First-year defensive coordinator Mike Clowney inherits a defense that returns only three starters. If there is good news, it is that all three returners are All-SAC performers and two www.thesac.com
are preseason All-American candidates. First-team All-SAC defensive end Zeke Andrews and SAC Defensive Freshman of the Year Qua Jackson will give the Eagles two “go-to” guys on the defensive line. Andrews finished with 27.5 tackles, 6.5 sacks and 13 quarterback hurries last season. Jackson emerged as a starter as the season progressed. He finished with only 11 solo stops, but 6.5 were for loss. Junior defensive end Byron Bell will push for the starting spot across from Andrews. Sophomore Matt Nicholls and red-shirt transfer Sam Palmer will try to occupy the spot opposite Jackson. Senior Anthony McAlister will try to fill the void at middle linebacker vacated by four-year All-SAC performer Brian Brown. McAlister played in 12 games last season, recording 20.5 tackles and 1.5 tackles for loss. Senior Allen Jackson and junior Ryan Helton will push for the outside spots. Sophomores Ryland Herbert and Roman Rodriquez, as well as a number of true freshman, will be in the rotation. Senior safety Mario Russell is the only returning starter from a secondary that intercepted 13 passes a season ago. He led the team with 17 pass break ups and six forced fumbles while earning first team All-SAC honors. Senior Dontaye Hall and Blaine Ruttan, along with sophomore Bryan Parker, will battle for the opening across from Russell. Sophomores Tarvin Jones and Isaac Kinley, both of whom played as true freshmen, along with red-shirt transfer Oliver Davis, will fight for the openings at cornerback. Senior Punter Chris Jones, a three-time All- SAC selection returns after averaging 39.3 yards per punt as a junior. The Eagles were 10th nationally in net punting. Junior Carlos Lopez was one of the biggest bright spots for the Eagles last season. He connected on 10-of-11 field goals, including 3-of-3 and the game winner in torrential downpours in a 23-20 win over Newberry in C-N’s SAC opener. He also made 67-of-69 PATs. The Eagles must replace Reggie Hubbard and Buck Wakefield, who leave as two of the top returners in school history, on special teams. - Zeke Beam Carson-Newman Sports Information Director

2010 SOUTH ATLANTIC CONFERENCE FOOTBALL
Catawba Indians Catawba saw its first non-winning season since 1994 last year, finishing at 4-6 with a couple of tight loses to end the season. Half of the defeats were by three points or less, including two in bad playing conditions coming in a rain storm against Mars Hill (14-12) and the one for the ages “mud bowl” at Brevard (7-6). The Catawba Indians return 14 starters from a year ago to help bring back the winning ways. On offense, the Indians return six starters led by quarterback Patrick Dennis. Dennis stepped in for the second straight year due to injuries and made five starts. He completed 56 percent of his pass attempts for over 1,500 yards and 14 touchdowns. He eclipsed the 300-yard plateau twice with a high of 326 yards in the finale against Lenoir-Rhyne. Dennis’ top three receiving targets return, all of whom posted over 30 catches. Eric Morman led the trio with 37 and tied a school-record with 13 receptions at CarsonNewman. Brandon Bunn followed with 32 catches and led the way by snagging a dozen touchdowns to become just the second receiver at Catawba to break double-digits in scoring grabs in a season. Gerron Bryant had 31 catches and led the group with 605 receiving yards. Catawba returns two of its top backs from last year in Levon Curtis and Josh Wright. Curtis ran for 260 yards which was second best on the team. He also caught five passes over his seven games. Wright picked up another 242 yards on the ground. The Indians lost three starters on the offensive line, but return center Zane Gibson, who will be starting for the fourth straight season. Also returning as a starter is Kemp McSween. Lavar Marsh, Daylon McAlexander and Ethan Winn saw ample action last season. Grayson Downs had a nice season at tight end as he caught 13 passes, including one for a score. On defense, seven starters return led by All-South Atlantic Conference picks Brandon Sutton and Cory Johnson. Sutton is one of the top linemen in Division II and posted a team-leading 18 tackles for losses in 2009. Four of those were sacks and he also blocked a pair of kicks. Julian Hartsell also returns as a starter on the line, posting five stops for losses with an interception last season.
Patrick Dennis
Other returners with experience include Alex Harsell, Brandon Weedon and Robert Brown. Johnson led the Indians in tackles as a freshman in 2009 with 69 stops. Six of those were for losses. Lakeem Perry, the 2008 SAC Freshman of the Year, followed with 65 tackles and gives the Tribe two solid starters at linebacker. Jeb Bass has experience and is slated as the third starter. In the secondary, Jumal Rolle was solid at corner as a freshman in 2009 leading the team with three interceptions. LJ McCray was also thrown into the fire at corner as a freshman last year and will move into a roll at safety this year. Bryant Vennable is a corner

with solid experience and Kewone Harris is back at strong safety. Thomas Trexler is slated to take care of both place kicking and punting duties in 2010. He did both as a freshman. Last year he delivered on six of 10 field goals with a long of 46. Bunn averaged nearly nine yards per punt return a year ago, while Brian Terwilliger averaged just over 21 yards on kickoff returns. Terwilliger also made 17 receptions as a receiver and also ran for 15 yards out of the wildcat formation. - Jim Lewis Catawba Sports Information Director

2010 SOUTH ATLANTIC CONFERENCE FOOTBALL
Lenoir-Rhyne Bears The Lenoir-Rhyne football team made its biggest leap forward last season under fourth-year mentor Fred Goldsmith. With at least seven starters back on both the offensive and defensive units, Lenoir-Rhyne’s goal of a winning season for the first time since 1994 could be very much realized in 2010. Lenoir-Rhyne’s run-heavy offense continues to put up prolific numbers. Last year, L-R rushed for its most yards since 1975 as it averaged 294.3 per contest. That number ranked second in the nation. A lot of the Bears’ rushing success can be attributed to the performance of their offensive line. The offensive line needs to replace two starters, but welcomes back junior right tackle Chandler Rearden. Rearden took a medical redshirt last year and looks to return to his 2008 form which saw him earn First-Team AllSouth Atlantic Conference honors. L-R also brings back senior center Chad Thacker and senior right guard Everett Tucker. Thacker, a starter since the middle of his freshman season, will move from left tackle to center. Tucker played admirably in his first season on the offensive line in 2009 after moving from the defensive side of the ball. Senior Jamie O’Briant takes over at left tackle and there is a good battle brewing at left guard between sophomore Kaleb Myrick and sophomore Parker Murray. L-R still feels it needs a more potent passing attack for better balance. The Bears are looking for their receivers to step up and are counting on senior Nick Stutts and sophomore Artis Gilmore to take the lead. Stutts finished second on the squad last year in catches (nine) and yards (153). Gilmore showed flashes of potential last season and should play more consistently in 2010. Senior tight end Devan Pointer, who led L-R in receptions (15) and yards (186) last season, is the most experienced receiver back and enters this year as a First-Team Preseason All-SAC honoree. The backfield is once again filled with depth, talent and experience. The halfback tandem of seniors James Pone and Andrew Courman have each rushed for over 1,000 yards in their careers and each averaged over seven yards a carry last year. Courman, who finished third on the squad
Marcus Shuford
in rushing in 2010 with 544 yards rushing and four touchdowns, was named to the allleague preseason second team. Junior fullback Byron Darby led the Bears in rushing yards (651) while averaging 7.2 yards per carry and scoring a team-high five touchdowns. Darby, is an all-league preseason honoree as well. Junior halfback Jasper Thomas, junior fullback Le’Quan McCorkle and sophomore halfback Anthony Thwaites should see playing time with Lenoir-Rhyne’s penchant for rotating running backs. For the first time since 2005, Lenoir-Rhyne will not have the services of Justin Sanders behind center but are confident junior Major Herron can take over the starter’s spot full time. Herron has seen a lot of action in his first two years with L-R and his dual-threat ability works well in the Bears’ system. Waiting in the wings is sophomore Reuben Haynes. Haynes averaged close to seven yards a carry last year and will battle Herron at the outset of preseason camp. The defensive secondary looks like a strong point for the Bears entering camp. Senior safeties Marcus Shuford and Carl Brooks are both entering their fourth years as starters. Shuford, a First-Team All-SAC honoree, led the squad in tackles last season at his free safety spot with 76 and has developed into
www.thesac.com
one of the best players in the league. Brooks, the strong safety, finished with 47 tackles and two interceptions. Brooks was honored with a spot on the preseason allleague squad. Junior Cam Thompkins moves over to safety after playing his first two years as a cornerback. Thompkins tied for the team lead in interceptions with three in 2009. Junior Jamont Jones had a coming-out party for the Bears last season in his first year as a starter at one of the cornerback spots. Either juniors LeBrandon Banner or Justin McCombs is expected to take over the cornerback position vacated by Michael Green. McCombs moves over to the defensive side of the ball after playing wide receiver. Junior outside linebacker Richard Walker anchors the trio after garnering preseason all-conference accolades. Walker totaled 41 takedowns last year. Manning the other outside linebacker position will be sophomores Chris Carter or CleArtiss Davis. Both inside linebackers return as well in senior Victor Nito and sophomore Demetrius Green. Nito finished second on the team in tackles with 63 while Green took over in the latter half of the year and ended up with 32 takedowns. The defensive line will get a makeover with the loss of seniors Scottie Armstrong and Keonte Davis but do have some talent waiting in the wings. Junior Nelson Bullard stepped in at defensive end last season and earned all-league preseason accolades in 2010. Two other sophomores – Brandon Martin and Jason Arenillas – look to fill the void left at defensive tackle and nose guard, respectively, for the Bears. Both players enter their third year with the program and should be ready to go. Junior Mike Harold and sophomore Evan Black give the Bears depth on the line. Lenoir-Rhyne needs to replace its punter (Matt Corbin), but welcomes back two-year starter Colin Corpe at placekicker and return man Jamont Jones. Freshman Spencer Linquist might get the nod at punter but L-R will also look at Corpe or Major Herron. - John Karrs Lenoir-Rhyne Sports Information Director

2010 SOUTH ATLANTIC CONFERENCE FOOTBALL
Mars Hill Lions Mars Hill had a chance to make the playoffs in 2009 but fell short after losing their final two contests of the season. The first half of the season went extremely well as the Lions won four of their first five conference games. Injuries, especially in the Lions’ secondary, hampered Mars Hill’s efforts. The goals set forth in 2010 are to have a winning season, obtain a SAC title and then make the NCAA Playoffs. This is a very talented team, especially in the skill positions. The keys to the Lions reaching their goals this season will be to stay healthy and to shore up a young front on both the offensive and defensive lines. MHC graduated many linemen from the 2009 campaign. The strength of the offense will be the depth of the skill positions. The weakness will be a young offensive front that will see many new faces in 2010. Jon Richt and Luis Cruz will battle in fall camp for the starting role as the Lions’ quarterback. Both saw a great deal of action in 2009. Richt threw for 1,188 yards and six touchdowns last season. Cruz had 420 passing yards and four touchdown strikes. Colton Harris and Joe Hoilman will add depth to the quarterback position in 2010. Jonas Randolph, a preseason first team All-SAC pick who rushed for 1,804 yards and 19 touchdowns, returns at tailback. Garrison McDowell, Clarence Abraham and Chappell Rose will battle Randolph for the starting nod at running back. McDowell averaged 5.4 yards per carry last season accumulating 227 yards. Patrick Park, a junior college transfer in 2009, will return as the starting fullback. Patrick Fitzgerald, Brandon Golden and Austin Young will compete for playing time at fullback. The wide receivers may be the deepest and most talented group of players on the squad. Travis Prince, who led the team with 21 catches for 472 yards and four scores returns to highlight this group. Frankie Waters, an All-American hurdler, also returns along with Alex Rose, Joshua Young, Fred Elsner, Tee Howell, Shawn Esworthy and Donald Gladden. Another surprise at wide out has been the addition of former basketball standout P.J. Gore, who decided to return to MHC and finish his degree work playing on the gridiron. In three seasons on the basketball court, Gore scored 1,104 points, averaging 18.5 points per contest his final season. The offensive line will be anchored by returning starters Brooklyn Isom, Tyler Hodgson and Brandon Fogle. Brian Nath, Clinton Lawing, Zach Searcy, Nick Harp, Austin Wynn, Cody Cheek, Chase Erwin and Mitch Williams will battle for playing time on the offensive front. Allen Woerner, Chad Fekany and Josh Crumpton will handle the duties at tight end for the Lions during the 2010 season. The strength of the defense will be the linebacker corps. Five returning players will make the middle portion of the Lions defense very strong. Stan Galbraith, who was injured in 2009, will start at outside linebacker while Rudy Cabral (22 tackles/3.0 TFL) will start at the middle position with Josh Baker starting at inside linebacker. Baker, a 2010 preseason first team All-SAC selection, led the team in tackles in 2009 with 66. In 2008, Galbraith, a former All-SAC player, recorded 74 tackles, 11.5 tackles-for-loss, six sacks, four fumble recoveries and an interception. Nate Baxley, who made 27 tackles during his freshman campaign, will back up Galbraith. Corey Durben who made 22 stops
Marzarius Samon
last season, will back up Baker. Chris Willis will backup Cabral. The defensive line will be anchored by All-SAC defensive end Maurice Harris. Marzarius Samon also returns to start at defensive end for MHC. Both Harris and Samon are first team preseason All-SAC selections. After spring practice, Allen Walker should start at tackle while Vernon Frett earned the nod at nose guard. Justin Broome will add quality depth to the defensive front in 2010. The secondary will be led by Brandon Edmonds and Darin Baldwin. Edmonds was injured last season but started in 2008 and made 49 tackles from the free safety position. Baldwin led the team in 2009 with three interceptions. He added 44 tackles and 11 pass break-ups. He should start at left cornerback. Michael Robinson, who saw action last season making 31 stops and four pass break-ups, should start at strong safety. Desmond Peterson and Maxavier Brooks will back up Baldwin at left cornerback. Enrique Moses came out of spring practice as a solid backup at strong safety after red-shirting in 2009. Heath Curtis will back up Moses at that position. Tavious Banks, who saw action in several games last year is slated as the starter at right corner heading into fall camp. Dexter Wells, Cornell Kelly and Arnette Hughes will battle Banks for that position in 2010. Garrison McDowell, Frankie Waters, Darin Baldwin and Jonas Randolph will be in the mix as the kickoff returners. Waters led this group with 15 returns in 2009 averaging 16.7 yards per attempt. Baldwin had the best average of 18.4 on eight carries. Michael Robinson will return as the Lions’ punt returner. He had nine returns for 42 yards last season. Michael Pinkerton and Nerman Imserovic will battle for the starting role as the Lions’ place kicker. A punter will be determined in fall camp. Another important void to fill in the Lions’ special teams will be the holder. Battling for the job as the Lions’ snapper will be Allen Woerner, Rudy Cabral, Clint Lawing and Chase Chambers. - Rick Baker Mars Hill Sports Information Director

2010 SOUTH ATLANTIC CONFERENCE FOOTBALL
Newberry Wolves
A sense of cautious optimism surrounds the Newberry College football program as the newly adorned Wolves prepare for the 2010 season; their second under the direction of head coach Todd Knight. Newberry is coming off of a 6-4 season with a 4-3 South Atlantic Conference record that saw all three of the scarlet and gray’s three conference losses come by a touchdown or less. The Wolves’ strength coming into 2010 appears to be the defensive backfield, which will be led by senior safety Ron Parker, the defending SAC Defensive Player of the Year. Parker, who has already been named to three preseason All-American teams, ranked third in the conference in tackles last season and led the league in interceptions and passes defended, a stellar mark for the versatile defensive playmaker. Another returning star in the secondary is senior cornerback Kamaal McIlwain, who defended 11 passes last season and blocked two kicks. Another strength will be the offensive line, which returns every player who saw action last season, with three starters named preseason all-SAC, including All-State center Matt Holmes and tackles Chase Gamble and Ben Inabinet. The offensive line will have to be strong as the Wolves will break in a new quarterback regardless of what happens in the preseason. Sophomore Bryan Ehrlich saw action in three games last season, but has taken only 41 snaps and is the only quarterback with collegiate experience. Redshirt freshman Parker Hite, sophomore Michael Rentz and incoming freshman W.T. Murden are expected to push Ehrlich in camp, but Ehrlich is the expected starter for the season opener against Livingstone on Sept. 4. Whoever the quarterback is, he will have a pair of experienced all-conference receivers to throw the ball to in first-teamer Brandon Bostick and second-teamer David Pressley. Bostick was the team’s third-leading receiver with 33 receptions for 458 yards and two touchdowns, while Pressley caught 29 passes for 334 yards a pair of touchdowns. The pair show the Wolves’ extraordinary depth at wide out, as Newberry graduated three 1,000-yard career receivers after last season. A strong stable of running backs will be
Brandon Bostick
asked to relieve the pressure on the signal caller, with Alkeem Sherman and Lyndon Ingram expected to see the majority of carries. Sherman had 45 carries for 229 yards and a touchdown last season and Ingram had only five carries, as star seniors S.J. Worrell and Gerald Legree combined for over 1,000 yards on the ground last year. A number of transfers are expected to make impacts on offense, including wide receiver Markish Jones (California) and running backs Mario Carter (Presbyterian) and Dion Bryant (Allan Hancock [Calif.] College). The defensive line will enjoy a strong mix of experience and youth to hassle opposing quarterbacks and break up running attacks. Senior Andre Clark should start at defensive tackle and he will be joined by a trio of talented defensive ends in all-conference pick Derrell Kinard and transfers Eli Charles (Florida State) and Jason Myers (Feather River [Calif.] College). The linebacking corps will be led by a pair of all-conference pick in outside linebacker R.J. Reeder and inside linebacker Josh Williams. Williams was third on the team with 49
www.thesac.com
tackles last year, including a conference-best 17 tackles at Carson-Newman, while Reeder was fourth on the squad with 43 stops. Also returning is Apollo Stretch, who made 37 tackles in only eight games last season. On special teams, kicker Britt Blackmon returns after connecting on 6-of-8 field goal attempts and 23-of-28 PATs in his junior season. The Wolves will have to find a new punter, long snapper and kick holder as the preseason progresses. Knight’s task will be putting together the pieces in a potentially talented puzzle. Experience in key positions will help back up youth in others, but all the pieces must fit for Newberry to qualify for the playoffs for the second time in school history. The Wolves start off with Livingstone at home on Sept. 4 before hosting Valdosta State on Sept. 11 for the third game in the budding rivalry.

2010 SOUTH ATLANTIC CONFERENCE FOOTBALL
Tusculum Pioneers The Tusculum College Pioneers return 43 lettermen and 15 starters when they kickoff off the 2010 football campaign. Head coach Frankie DeBusk is entering his 13th season at the helm of the Pioneer program as he and his squad look to rebound from last year’s 3-7 record. But despite the disappointing result, the Pioneers ended 2009 on a strong note, winning two of their last three games facing the fourth most difficult schedule in NCAA Division II. The offensive unit, which boasted one of the top passing attacks in the country, returns six starters, led by sophomore quarterback Bo Cordell, the 2009 South Atlantic Conference Offensive Freshman of the Year. Cordell passed for 3,458 yards and 23 touchdowns. His passing yardage established an NCAA II Freshman record and was the second most in school history and the fourth most by a SAC signal caller. His 345.8 passing yards per game were tops in the league and fourth in the nation. He also accumulated 3,355 total offensive yards, which was first in the conference and sixth in NCAA II. As a rookie, Cordell established the top three single-game passing performances in school history, including his school-record 524yard effort against nationally-ranked CarsonNewman College in the season-finale. Redshirt freshman Torrey Slaven was the No. 2 quarterback coming out of spring practice. Gone from last year’s squad are Tusculum’s top four receivers including All-Americans Ryan Tallent and Jarrell NeSmith. TC’s top returning wideout is junior Rashaad Carter. The 2010 Preseason All-SAC Second Team pick posted 35 catches for 510 yards and three touchdowns a year ago. Also garnering Preseason All-SAC honors is senior Calvin Britt. Britt enters his final collegiate campaign averaging 22.68 yards per reception during his career, which is tops in school history. He has accounted for 1,497 receiving yards (7th in TC history) and 17 touchdowns, which are the second most ever by a Pioneer. Also returning in the receiving corps for Tusculum are juniors Deonte’ Gist, Michael Rodriguez and Jonathan Lyons and sophomore Zellburge Gleaves. Making the move from defensive side of the ball is sophomore Orlando Price, who will be joining the receiving corps and compete for playing time at the
Bo Cordell
tight end position. Tusculum will be without the services of two-time All-SAC running back Marcus Foster this season. Juniors Fred Jones and sophomore Brian Marshall are back.

2010 SOUTH ATLANTIC CONFERENCE FOOTBALL
Wingate Bulldogs The Wingate University Bulldogs return nine starters on offense and defense from a team that had the best SAC finish in school history. The Bulldogs went 7-3 in 2009 and 5-2 in the conference, finishing alone in second place. Wingate had a well-balanced offense in 2009, and return the entire backfield along with its top four receivers. The Bulldogs led the nation in turnover margin in 2009, while ranking sixth in kickoff return average. Redshirt junior quarterback Cody Haffly returns after an impressive first season under center for the Bulldogs. Haffly threw for 228.1 yards per game, ranking third in the league in yards and completion percentage, while finishing second in touchdown passes. He had an impressive 21 touchdowns compared to only six interceptions in 2009. Haffly saved his best performance for the end of the season, completing 18-of-30 passes for 293 yards and five touchdowns in Wingate’s convincing 56-35 win at Mars Hill. Haffly will have plenty of targets to throw to in the 2010 season. All-SAC receiver Delric Ellington leads the impressive group of receivers. The senior was third in the SAC with seven touchdown receptions, fourth with 4.70 receptions per game and seventh with 55.8 receiving yards per game. Chris Bowden’s freshman campaign included 30 receptions for 361 yards and three touchdowns, while Phillip Thomas caught 25 passes for 379 yards and four scores. Senior Perry Floyd will be a huge part of Wingate’s offense and special teams in the 2010 season. A pre-season first team All-American according to Consensus Draft Services, Floyd led the SAC and ranked in the top 10 nationally in punt return yards and kickoff return yards. His 30.38 kickoff return yards per game were good for third nationally, while his 15.07 yards per punt return were good for ninth nationally.

Vince Jordan
at 33.6 points per game, second in passing offense and third in total offense with 395.3 yards per game.

Vince Jordan had an impressive sophomore season in 2009, earning first team All-SAC honors by rushing for 967 yards and 12 touchdowns. He averaged 6.2 yards per carry in 2009, while ranking third in the SAC in yards per game and fourth in rushing touchdowns. Two-time All-SAC running back Nelson Woods ran for 378 yards in seven games last season, scoring seven touchdowns. Woods led the SAC in rushing in 2007 and 2008, going over 1,100 yards in both seasons. His 2,790 career rushing yards are just 156 yards shy of Wingate’s all-time record. The offensive line returns four of five starters. Brock Mueller will move from left guard to left tackle, while Mike Arndt, Ralph Curiel, and Andrew Garner also return from last year’s line. The offensive line was obviously a strength of the Bulldogs last year, with the passing and running game both excelling in 2009. Redshirt freshman Mark Clyburn will look to take the tight end spot vacated by AllSAC honoree Ryan Webber. The aggressive Wingate defense led the league by forcing 2.7 turnovers per game. The Bulldogs came up with 16 fumbles in the

2009 season, while notching 11 interceptions, helping Wingate lead the nation with a turnover margin of 1.50 per game. The Bulldogs finished second in the league with 2.5 sacks per game and 7.6 tackles for loss per game. Redshirt freshman safety Robert Fletcher led the charge on the defensive side with 8.3 tackles per game, good for second in the SAC. Fletcher led the conference with five recovered fumbles, while ranking second in the league by forcing three fumbles. Fletcher also had a pair of interceptions, while setting a school record with a 98 yard interception return for a touchdown in the season opening win against West Georgia. Redshirt senior cornerback Terrence Stephens was second on the team last season with 62 tackles, while leading the team with six pass breakups and seven passes defended. He also forced a fumble and had an interception. Richie Kazazian had six tackles for loss and three sacks in the 2009 season, while also recovering a pair of fumbles. Jack Taylor is the lone defensive end returning, so the Bulldogs will look to move Buster Smith and Shane Outen from original positions. Transfer Jonathan Simmons may see some time as a defensive end. Reich is confident with the solid group returning at linebacker, led by Greg Harmon, who was named a captain in the spring. Reich is also expecting big contributions from Clayton Hazeltine, Kazazian, Jared Seate and Ben Hinson. Seate will probably start in the middle. Fletcher and Stephens will anchor the secondary for the Bulldogs. Tyrone Scott and Justin Squirewell will also see time at cornerback. Transfer Owo Mobio may also be in contention at cornerback, while transfers Greg Tompkins and Robbie Catterton will be battling for time at safety. Placekicker RP Lopez and punter Phillip Hilliard both return and will handle the kicking for the Bulldogs in 2010. Hilliard was fourth in the SAC at 38.6 yards per punt in the 2009 season. Lopez made 40-of-43 extra points in 2009, while hitting two-of-four field goals on the season. - Hugh Patton Wingate Assistant SID

a Positive Game Environment
Find out how at www.diicommunity.org
Is it Civil? Comfortable? Entertaining?
We have joined institutions across 22 conferences and independents in committing to safe, fun, and entertaining sporting experiences on Division II campuses. We have signed the pledge to create and continue family-friendly experiences for everyone.
NCAA Division II presidents and chancellors affirm that athletics events should reflect the values of higher education and the mission of each institution. Division II emphasizes learning and development in a personal setting. As chancellors and presidents, we are concerned about the uncivil behavior exhibited at college athletics contests and thereby pledge to work together to make respectful, familyfriendly events a standard of the Division II experience.
