#SACFB The South Atlantic Conference is in its 40th year of athletic tradition and excellence. 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 and women’s basketball, baseball, softball, men’s soccer, volleyball, men’s golf, men’s and women’s tennis. Later the conference grew to 14 championship sports by adding women‘s soccer (1990), men’s and women’s cross country (1993) and women’s golf (1999). In 2013, the sports of men’s and women’s lacrosse and men’s and women’s track and field were added, increasing the

number of championship sports to 18. The South Atlantic Conference was composed 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 University became the league’s 10th member. Three years later in July 2013, Coker College and Queens University of Charlotte joined the conference. Today the conference is a group of 12 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 University in Jefferson City, Tenn.; Catawba College in Salisbury, N.C.; Coker College in Hartsville, S.C.; Lenoir-Rhyne University in Hickory, N.C.; Lincoln Memorial University in Harrogate, Tenn.; Mars Hill University in Mars Hill, N.C.; Newberry College in Newberry, S.C.; Queens University of Charlotte

Patrick Britz enters his ninth year as the Commissioner of the South Atlantic Conference (SAC) after being named the league’s second commissioner in May 2008. Under Britz’s leadership, the SAC has expanded to its largest membership ever with 12 member institutions as Brevard College became a full-time member in 2008-09, Anderson (SC) University joined in 2010-11, and Coker College and Queens University of Charlotte in 2013-14. The SAC also expanded from 14 championship sports to 18 in 2013-14 as men’s and women’s lacrosse and men’s and women’s outdoor track and field were be added. Britz has also overseen the revision of the conference bylaws and sports policies, as well as the development of two strategic plans. Britz has led historic achievements in the overall success of SAC athletics in NCAA Championship participation. In the past two years, SAC teams from three different sports and three different schools have advanced to the final game of the NCAA Championship – Lenoir-Rhyne football and Carson-Newman men’s soccer in 2013 and Catawba baseball in 2015. Further, SAC schools have won 18 NCAA regional titles in nine sports since 2008-09. During Britz’s tenure, the league has started a formal compliance review process where an external entity visits each member institution and conducts an in-depth review. The first round of visits was completed in 2011-12 and the next round begins in 2015-16. He also developed and implemented a new coaches’ orientation program that started in the fall of 2014. He has also overseen the enhancement of the conference’s awards program and championship events, providing live video-streaming for most of the finals of the team championships starting in 2010-11. He also recently secured a title sponsor – Pilot Flying J - for the conference baseball championship for 2016 through 2018. Britz negotiated an agreement with Timmons Arena on the campus of Furman University to host the semifinals and finals of the SAC Men’s and Women’s Basketball Conference Tournament through 2018. The contract extension guarantees the continuation of the conference tournament at the same neutral site since 2013. Britz also announced the SAC Baseball Championship will move to Smokies Stadium in Kodak, Tenn., the home of the AA affiliated of Major League Baseball’s Chicago Cubs starting in 2016. In addition, the semifinals and finals of the SAC Men’s and Women’s Soccer Championship will continue to be played at Manchester Meadows in Rock Hill, S.C., the same neutral site this event has been conducted at since 2007. Prior to joing the SAC, Britz served as the first Director of Division I intercollegiate programs for the NSCAA from 2005-2008. During his tenure with the NSCAA, Britz was responsible for raising the visibility of men’s and women’s Division I Intercollegiate soccer.

Kebbe was given the Administrator of the Year Award in 2005. Kebbe served as a successful head women’s basketball coach at Belmont Abbey from 1986 to 2001. She guided her teams to six conference tournament championships, three conference tournament runner-up titles, six regular season championships and six national tournament berths. She earned conference and district Coach of the Year Awards, and ranks as one of the NCAA Division II’s winningest coaches, with a record of 315-110 in 15 years at Belmont Abbey. In 2002, Kebbe - the winningest basketball coach in Belmont Abbey history - was inducted into the Belmont Sports Hall of Fame. Kebbe has served on several NCAA national committees, including the NCAA Division II Women’s Basketball Committee - on which she chaired her final year - and the NCAA Division II Legislation Committee. In the fall of 2014 Kebbe was again named to the NCAA Division II Women’s Basketball Committee. Kebbe received her Bachelor of Arts degree from Queens College in Flushing, N.Y., and a Masters of Education from the University of Georgia.

Head Coach Paul Hamilton - 11th Season Head Coach Paul Hamilton enters his 34th year coaching collegiate football at both the Division I and Division II levels, with 17 years of experience as a head coach. Hamilton is in his ninth year at the helm of the Tornados. The 2014 Tornados featured one of the nation’s best offenses, averaging 321.6 rushing yards per game to finish sixth nationally. Brevard rushed for 562 yards in a win over College of Faith, the second-highest total of any Division II team all season, and surpassed 250 rushing yards in eight games. Brevard also led the nation in red zone efficiency (93.2 percent), were second in time of possession (35:31), and finished third in fourth down conversions (75.9 percent). Brevard also finished in the top 10 nationally in yards per completion and penalties, setting 58 team or individual school records during the season. Three players made postseason all-star game appearances, including two by Cliff Harris Award finalist Micahel Gruber, and the Tornados had five players named all-conference. Hamilton also received one of his biggest coaching honors after the 2014 season, earning a selection to the Medal of Honor Bowl coaching staff alongside three coaches who had been former colleagues. The American Team staff also included his father Rusty, who became a fixture in Charleston, South Carolina-area high school football during a coaching career spanning several decades. In 2013, Hamilton guided the Tornados to a three-win campaign that saw a number of statistical highlights. His quarterbacks led the conference in passing efficiency and ranked third nationally in yards per completed pass. In addition to being disciplined, committing just 12 turnovers on the season for the fifth-best total in Division II and ranking third nationally in penalties, Hamilton coached a trio of All-Region performers and an Honorable Mention All-American linebacker in Michael Gruber. In 2012, Brevard was the least-penalized team in Division II football as Hamilton led Jordan Ollis (FB) and Eric Watts (P) to Don Hansen’s Division II All-America Team. BC also toppled formerly nationally- ranked Newberry 27-13 in its season finale on November 10th. The 2011 season saw Brevard again in the top 10 in the NCAA DII in rushing as the Tornados finished eighth in the nation. The Tornados also had a school record seven players named to the postseason All-SAC team and their first two All-Americans in program history in Caleb Campbell (OL) and Jack Woerner (FB). In the 2010 season, the Tornados finished with the NCAA DII’s third ranked rushing attack and saw five players named to the All-SAC postseason team, including the SAC Offensive Freshman of the year, Kelvin Jeter. The Tornados finished 7-4 in 2009 with wins against SAC opponents LenoirRhyne, Tusculum and Catawba. The turnaround from the 2008 season, when they finished 1-9 in their first year in the SAC, was recognized as the 11th best in Division II that year by Somis Sports. Coach Hamilton’s squad, which only had a month of preparation under the head coach prior to the start of the 2007 season, recorded home wins over both Chowan University and LaGrange College. In 2007, the Tornados improved in every statistical category as they competed as provisional members of both the NCAA Division II level and of the South Atlantic Conference, which had four different teams ranked throughout the season. Hamilton began his collegiate football coaching career at the Citadel in 1981 where he coached the receivers. He then moved on to East Tennessee State University where he coached the receivers in 1983 before coaching the quarterbacks in 1984-1985 and 1986-1987. Hamilton coached the quarterbacks and served as the offensive coordinator at Wofford College in 1988-1989.

ence in total offense, total defense and boasted the league’s Male Athlete of the Year, Offensive Player of the Year, Defensive Player of the Year and Rookie of the Year. The team’s 7-4 record in 1997 tied as the second highest win total ever by a Buccaneer squad and gave Hamilton the best record ever by a first-year head coach at ETSU. The Buccaneers set three single-season team records in 1997, including the marks for points per game and total offense per game. ETSU was ranked in the top-25 throughout much of the season, as two of Hamilton’s players were named first-team All-Americans by the Associated Press and the Sports Network. Hamilton then moved on to be the head coach at Elon in 2004 and 2005. In his first season as head coach he guided the Phoenix to two Southern Conference victories, a first in the school’s young history as a conference member. He posted a 6-16 record at Elon over the two year span where he coached seven All-Southern Conference players, five Southern Conference Athletes of the Month, two Academic All-Conference players and one Academic All-American. In 2006, Hamilton returned to the Air Force Academy to coach the fullbacks for his former college coach, Fisher DeBerry. Hamilton and his wife, Jane, a native of Spruce Pine, North Carolina, have three children – a son, Kye and two daughters, Jenna and Alanna.

Coach Hamilton served his first coaching stint with the U.S. Air Force Academy from 1990-1996. During his last three seasons, he called the offensive plays for the Falcons in addition to serving as the quarterbacks coach. Air Force competed in four bowl games during Hamilton’s time there and ranked second nationally in rushing and in the top-25 total offense four times. While at Air Force, Hamilton coached quarterback Beau Morgan, who finished in the top-10 in the Heisman Trophy voting and was named a thirdteam Associated Press All-American in 1996. Under Hamilton’s guidance, Morgan became the first player in NCAA history to pass and rush for over 1,000 yards in two different seasons. He also broke the NCAA single season rushing record for a quarterback, and became only the second player in NCAA history to run and pass for 3,000 yards in a career. Hamilton’s first break as a head coach came at East Tennessee State, where he coached from 1997-2003 and amassed a record of 38-41.

carson-newman eagles Head Coach Ken Sparks - 37th Season As Ken Sparks embarks on his 36th season he does so continuing a battle with a cancer that was diagnosed on June 30, 2012. Christian principles have been the driving force behind Sparks’ coaching career. It was his faith that brought him to Carson-Newman in 1980 and it is his faith that will see him through this latest challenge. He is the winningest active head coach in the country with 325 wins, 89 loss and two ties. Sparks passed legendary Alabama head coach Bear Bryant with a win on homecoming in 2014 over North Greenville. Going into 2015, Sparks is seven wins behind former Mount Union head coach Larry Kerhes for fifth on the all-time wins list.

In 2012 Sparks made history, becoming only the 12th man in college football to record 300 wins. The coach is reluctant to shine the spotlight on himself and his accomplishments. Sparks would instead rather be measured by his impact in the lives of the young men and coaches who’ve been a part of his CarsonNewman family. For Coach Sparks, football is a laboratory of learning where he and his staff strive to develop the whole person – educationally, socially, athletically and spiritually. Along the way, Sparks has developed one of the winningest football programs in the history of the sport. The Eagles have won five NAIA National Titles and played for it six times. A move to NCAA Division II didn’t slow Sparks’ Carson-Newman squad down. The Eagles played for the D-II National Title three times and were a semifinalist in 2009. The rest of the numbers speak for themselves as Sparks has recorded 21 South Atlantic Conference Championships, 24 NCAA or NAIA playoff appearances and a 325-89-2 record. Sparks holds the all-time record for wins in NCAA Division II and, with the recent retirement of St. John’s (Minn.) John Gagliardi and Mount Union’s Larry Kehres, Sparks is the activce leader in coaching wins. In fact, at the start of the 2015 season, he was the only active head coach with more than 273 wins (Virginia Tech’s Frank Beamer). Sparks was inducted into the inaugural NCAA Division II Hall of Fame Coaches Class in 2010 along with Northwest Missouri State’s Mel Tjeerdsma and West Alabama’s Bobby Wallace. Coach Sparks is also a member of the South Atlantic Conference Hall of Fame, the Knoxville Sports Hall of Fame, the Carson-Newman Athletic Hall of Fame, the Tennessee Sports Hall of Fame and the NAIA Hall of Fame. Sparks has been honored with the Fellowship of Christian Athletes Lifetime Achievement Award and National Coach of the Year. In 2002 Sparks received the All-American Football Foundation’s Johnny Vaught Lifetime Achievement Award. Coach Sparks earned NAIA Coach of the Year honors in 1984. He’s been voted SAC Coach of the Year 12 times. Sparks is a two-time winner of the Tennessee Sportswriters Coach of the Year in 1999 and 2002 and was also named Division II Coach of the Year by American Football Coach Magazine. In 2010, Sparks received the prestigious General Robert R. Neyland Trophy, presented by the Knoxville Quarterback Club for contributing greatly to intercollegiate athletics. The Eagles’ postseason run under Sparks began in 1982, when he guided the Eagles to a 10-2 record and an NAIA playoff berth in his third season. Carson-Newman lost in the opening round of the playoffs that season, but the culture of the Eagles program was forever changed. The next season, C-N won its second-straight SAC-8 title, then captured its first national football title in school history, beating heavily-favored Mesa State 36-28 in the NAIA Champion Bowl. The Eagles brought home four more titles beginning with a 19-19 tie with Central Arkansas in 1984. Carson-Newman shutout Cameron 17-0 in the 1986 championship game, blew out Adams State 56-21 in 1988 for the title and cruised to a fifth in 1989 with a 34-20 win over Emporia State. In 2009, After opening the season 0-2, the Eagles reeled off 11 consecutive victories, including a perfect 7-0 mark in the SAC to claim their 21st conference title. C-N fell a game short of making its 11th national title game appearance, falling to Grand Valley State in the Division II semifinals.

teams with distinction, receiving Southern Collegiate Track Coach of the Year honors in 1977. With Sparks running the offense, the 1972 Eagles advanced to their first-ever NAIA Champion Bowl, falling to East Texas State. Sparks took over the Farragut High School football program in 1977, guiding the Admirals to a 29-5 record. Sparks was twice-voted KIL and KFA Coach of the Year. After three seasons, Sparks was asked to take command of the Carson-Newman football program. .

2012 went down similarly for Sparks’ Eagles. After stuttering to a 2-2 start, the Eagles reeled of seven consecutive victories to earn a first round bye. C-N came out in round two and took the SAC champions, the Lenoir-Rhyne Bears, out of the playoffs with a 38-35 victory. Carson-Newman would fall just shy of the semis against eventual national champions Valdosta State. A native of Knoxville, Tenn., Sparks began his coaching career at Gibbs High School in Knoxville, restarting the football program with a winning season. A year later Sparks coached quarterbacks and wide receivers at Tennessee Tech while earning his Master’s Degree. He coached Morristown East High School for one season before returning to his alma mater, Carson-Newman, to serve as offensive coordinator for then-Carson-Newman head coach Dal Shealy and oversee the track program.

Head Coach Curtis Walker - 3rd Season Curtis Walker became the Head Football Coach at Catawba in December of 2012. He returned to his alma mater after spending one season as the defensive coordinator and linebacker coach at Western Carolina University. Prior to his year in Cullowhee, Walker spent 10 years as the defensive coordinator and linebackers coach at Coastal Carolina University. During Walker’s 10 seasons in Conway, the Chanticleers had four players on the defensive side garner All-America accolades, while players within his defense earned a combined 44 All-Big South accolades as the Chanticleers captured three straight Big South Conference titles (200406). Coastal also won the league championship in 2010.

Walker’s Career as Head Coach Year School 2013 Catawba 2014 Catawba 2015 Catawba Total

Under Walker, Coastal led the league in pass defense in 2006, ‘07 and `08. On the strength of 18 interceptions in `07, the Chanticleers ranked sixth nationally in turnover margin (1.36). In 2006, Coastal’s defense tied for the national lead with 19 interceptions. Walker’s defense led the nation in pass efficiency defense and contributed to the top turnover margin in the country, setting a Big South record at plus 22. Coastal twice led the nation in interceptions, getting 19 in 2006 and 27 in 2004. Walker was a four-year starter and three-time All-American linebacker for Catawba in 1989-92, graduating in 1992 with a degree in sociology. He was inducted into the Catawba Sports Hall of Fame in 2004 and into the South Atlantic Conference Hall of Fame in 2008. Walker was Catawba’s team most valuable player in 1991 and served as team captain in 1992. Walker still holds the Catawba single game record for tackles with 25 stops against Wofford in 1991. He also still owns the all-time single season record for fumble recoveries with six, also set in 1991. Walker earned All-America honors his final three seasons, including first team accolades as a senior in 1992. Following graduation from Catawba and a two-year coaching period at Salisbury High School, Walker joined the staff at Catawba in 1995. He coached the linebackers and began coordinating all recruiting in 1997. Walker was promoted to defensive coordinator in 2001 and the Indians were ranked first in Division II in scoring defense and 15th in total defense. At Catawba, Walker was a part of three South Atlantic Conference championships (1996, 2000 and 2001) and three NCAA playoff appearances (1999, 2000 and 2001). The Indians were a combined 22-3 in 2000-01, a lot of the success due to a suffocating defense. Catawba allowed just 13.5 points per game during those 25 games. A native of Burlington, NC, Walker was a two-time football all-conference performer at Graham High School, prior to graduating in 1988. He was the Mid-State Conference Defensive Player of the Year in 1987. Walker and his wife, Sheka, have two sons; Jalon (11) and Curtis II (9).

Head Coach Mike Kellar - 1st Year On December 22, 2015, Mike Kellar became the 21st Head Football Coach in Lenoir-Rhyne history. Kellar comes to Lenoir-Rhyne after serving the past four seasons as mentor of the Vulcans of California (Pa.) University. Kellar completed his fourth season as head coach in 2015 and 10th overall as a member of the coaching staff at California University of Pennsylvania. He previously served as the team’s offensive coordinator for five years before serving as the offensive coordinator and associate head coach for offense in 2011. In four years as head coach, Kellar led the Vulcans to a 31-12 record while playing ten nationally-ranked teams. California has featured six All-Americans in that span, including offensive lineman Eric Kush, who became the second Vulcans player in recent years to be selected in the NFL Draft. In addition, defensive lineman B.J. Stevens led NCAA Division II in sacks per game in 2013 and defensive back Rontez Miles repeated as the PSAC West Defensive Player of the Year and was invited to the NFL Combine.

Kellar’s passion for football began with his own success as a student-athlete. He was the starting quarterback at Glenville State before transferring to Fairmont State, both located in West Virginia. He earned his undergraduate degree in liberal arts from Fairmont State before receiving his master’s degree in safety management from West Virginia University. A native of West Virginia, Kellar and his wife Melissa have four children, Diedra, Jarrod, Anthony and Jacob.

While away from the program in 2009-10, Kellar guided Concord University (W.Va.) to a 14-8 record as head coach. Prior to his arrival, the Mountain Lions managed only one win in the previous two years and hadn’t posted a winning season since 1998. In 2010, Kellar led Concord to an 8-3 overall record to mark the first eight-win season for the program since it joined NCAA Division II in 1993. Under his guidance, the Mountain Lions featured one of the most balanced offenses in the WVIAC in 2010, ranking second in passing and total offense. Concord also ranked fourth in the country by averaging almost 500 yards of offense per game. While with the Mountain Lions, Kellar mentored one of the most explosive wide receivers in the country in Thomas Mayo. A two-time All-WVIAC selection, Mayo set a school record and led the country in receiving yards per game in 2009. That season, he became the school’s first-ever Harlon Hill regional finalist and was Concord’s first All-American since 2002. In his return to the Vulcans in 2011, Kellar worked with the most prolific passing offense in school history. Quarterback Peter Lalich broke the single-season school records for attempts, completions and passing yards, averaging nearly 300 yards per game. Mayo joined Kellar at Cal U and garnered All-America honors. Kellar has developed some of the most potent offenses in school history. In 2004 and 2005, he coached the PSAC West Offensive Player of the Year in running back Antoine Bagwell. In 2005, the Vulcans averaged over 460 yards of total offense and scored over 40 points per game.

Kellar’s Career as Head Coach Year School 2009 Concord 2010 Concord 2012 California (Pa.) 2013 California (Pa.) 2014 California (Pa.) 2015 California (Pa.) TOTAL

After California led the PSAC in total offense and rushing offense in 2006, Kellar directed a record-setting offense during the historic 2007 season. The Vulcans rushed for nearly 2,900 yards and totaled over 5,000 yards of offense for the first time in school history. The following year, California won its first PSAC Championship since 1984 and shattered the single-season school record with over 6,000 yards of total offense. Under the tutelage of Kellar, quarterback Kevin McCabe was a Harlon Hill regional finalist and became the first quarterback in school history to surpass 3,000 passing yards and 30 touchdowns. In all but one of Kellar’s ten years with the program, the Vulcans averaged over 30 points per game. His Vulcans offenses have helped seven players earn All-America status.

Head Coach Tim Clifton - 23rd Year

Tim Clifton is entering his 23rd season at Mars Hill University. Clifton has led the Lions to a .500 record or higher in 15 seasons including the SAC title and the Lions first NCAA post season appearance in 2011. For his efforts guiding the Lions in 2011, Clifton was named the SAC Coach of the Year. He has a career record at Mars Hill of 119-112-0. The 119 wins place Clifton second in all-time wins of all SAC head coaches. He has recorded 70 conference victories that also places him second in that category among all-time SAC head coaches. During the 2003 season Clifton broke the school’s record for most wins by a head football coach. He surpassed Claude Gibson (1973-82) who ended his career with an overall record of 55-37-2 (.585). Under Clifton’s direction, the Lion offense has exploded breaking several single season offensive school records such as longest run from scrimmage (94 yards by senior Leon Williams), most PAT’s scored (37) most rushing yards gained (3,130), most total offensive yards (4,803), most first downs (250), and most points scored (327). Clifton came to Mars Hill from Ferrum College in Ferrum, Virginia, where he had been the offensive coordinator since 1987. During Clifton’s tenure, Ferrum went to four straight NCAA Division III playoffs. In the 1988-89 school year, Ferrum was a national semifinalist. Clifton has had the privilege of coaching 81 All-Conference Honor Roll players, 97 All-SAC performers, eight SAC Freshmen of the Year, and five SAC Players of the Year. In 2011 Jonas Randolph won the Harlon Hill Trophy. Clifton has also been fortunate to coach eight All-Americans. Clifton, a veteran of 39 years, spent five years on the high school level before entering the collegiate ranks. Since joining the college ranks, Clifton has made stops at the University of South Carolina, Virginia Military Institute, Fayetteville State University, and Ferrum College.
