On behalf of the member institutions, coaches, administrators and student-athletes in the South Atlantic Conference, it is my pleasure to welcome you to the South Atlantic Conference. All of us associated with the SAC look forward to a wonderful atmosphere and quality experience for the student-athletes, parents and fans. The South Atlantic Conference aspires to be the premier NCAA Division II athletic conference in the country; a conference where a high priority of each member institution is a balance between athletics and the overall academic, spiritual and physical development of each student-athlete to provide these individuals with life skills for future success. To the student-athletes, I extend my congratulations on the dedication to excellence and skill which brought you to this level of competition. To the spectators, I remind you that sportsmanship is a core principle of the NCAA and a shared value across our conference. Sportsmanship unites athletes, students, alumni, faculty, staff, coaches and fans in a common goal – winning with respect and dignity. It is our hope that you will remain respectful and courteous to the officials, opposing teams and fans. College athletics and the South Atlantic Conference have many traditions, but poor sportsmanship isn’t one of them. Thank you for your continued support of the SAC, and best of luck to all of the member institutions’ teams.

history of THE SAC The South Atlantic Conference is in its 43rd 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 Appalachian State, 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.
golf (1999). In 2013, the sports of men’s and women’s lacrosse and men’s and women’s outdoor track and field were added, increasing the number of championship sports to 18. The conference added two more championship sports, men’s and women’s indoor track and field, to its line-up in 2017, bringing the total number of championship sports to 20.
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 South Atlantic Conference was composed of the same eight member institutions from 1975 until 1988, when Wingate University replaced Newberry College. Newberry later rejoined the conference in 1996.
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.
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.
The Bears of Lenoir-Rhyne College captured the football title after the SAC-8’s first season of play. In 1989, the league’s 15th year of operation, the South Atlantic Conference became a comprehensive, multi-sport 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 and 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
2
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. In July 2016, Limestone was added as an associate member for football only.
to NCAA postseason play. The league membership now includes Anderson University in Anderson, S.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 in Charlotte, N.C.; Tusculum University in Greeneville, Tenn.; and Wingate University in Wingate, N.C.

sac administration Patrick Britz Commissioner
Patrick Britz is currently in his 11th year as the Commissioner of the South Atlantic Conference (SAC) after being named the league’s second commissioner in May 2008.
Championship take place at Smokies Stadium in Kodak, Tenn., the home of the AA affiliate of Major League Baseball’s Chicago Cubs for 2016 through 2022. In addition, the semifinals and finals of the SAC Men’s and Women’s Soccer Championship continue to be played at Manchester Meadows in Rock Hill, S.C., the same neutral site this event has been conducted at since 2007.
Under Britz’s leadership, the SAC expanded to its largest membership ever with 12 (currently at 11) member institutions as Brevard College became a full-time member in 2008-09, Anderson University (SC) 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 added. This number will increase to 20 in 2017-18 when the league will add men’s and women’s indoor track and field as championship sports. Britz has also overseen the revision of the conference bylaws and sports policies, as well as the development of two strategic plans.
Prior to joining the SAC, Britz served as the first Director of Division I Intercollegiate Programs for the National Soccer Coaches Association of America (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 soccer. He played a vital role in the establishment and expansion of the Fox Soccer Channel College Match of the Week, including selling corporate sponsorships. He served as the liaison between the NSCAA and various constituent groups, including the NCAA, Division I men’s and women’s coaches and the National Intercollegiate Soccer Officials Association.
Britz has led historic achievements in the overall success of SAC athletics in NCAA Championship participation. Wingate claimed the SAC’s first ever NCAA national championship in men’s soccer in the fall of 2016. Further, in the past five years, SAC teams from five different sports and four different schools have also advanced to the final game of the NCAA Championship – Lenoir-Rhyne, football and Carson-Newman, men’s soccer in 2013, Catawba, baseball in 2015, Lincoln Memorial, men’s basketball in 2016 and CarsonNewman, women’s soccer in 2017. Finally, SAC schools have won 20 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 201112 and the next round began 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. The league also began awarding an Elite 20 award in 2016-17 at each championship to the participating student-athlete with the highest cumulative GPA similar to the NCAA’s Elite 90 award. He also secured a title sponsor – Pilot Flying J - for the conference baseball championship for 2016 through 2022, and for the basketball championship for 2019 through 2022. In addition to Pilot Flying J, Britz has brokered numerous corporate sponsorship agreements including GEICO, AstroTurf, BB&T Insurance, Wilson Sporting Goods, Hasty Awards and Immersion Media. Further, he has maintained long-standing agreements with corporate partners such as Coleman Lew & Associates and McMillan Pazdan Smith. 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 2022. The contract extension guarantees the continuation of the conference tournament at the same neutral site since 2013. Britz negotiated to have the SAC Baseball

carson-newman eagles Head Coach Mike Turner - 2nd Season Mike Turner is the architect of one of the most potent offenses in college football and Carson-Newman’s 18th head football coach. He was named the Eagles’ head man on Nov. 15, 2016 following Ken Sparks’ retirement. He is in his second season as head coach but his 35th with the program. In his first year at the helm of the program, Turner put together an 8-3 campaign that saw Carson-Newman narrowly miss out on the NCAA Division II playoffs. Safety Darius Williams earned All-American honors at the end of the campaign and 10 Eagles were named All-South Atlantic Conference. Over the last nine seasons, Turner has led the Eagles to an unprecedented run at the top of the NCAA offensive rankings. Since 2007, the Carson-Newman offense has averaged 330.6 yards rushing per game and scored an average of 38.4 points. Over those Turner’s Career as Head Coach eight seasons, Carson-Newman has produced an All-American offensive lineman seven times. The Eagles have also been lauded twice with the Year School Overall SAC Rimington Award winner, which goes to the best 2017 Carson-Newman 8-3 5-2 center in all Division II. Turner’s offense cracked the 60-point threshold on three occasions and the 50-point threshold on two more occasions. The 2015 season was tied with the 2007 team for the most 50-point games in a single year, while the trio of 60-point efforts marked the first time in school history that had ever occured. Derek Evans earned All-American honors on the offensive line en route to attaining the Rimington Trophy. Damian Baker became a consensus All-American, while becoming the program’s fourth Harlon Hill Trophy finalist. The 2014 season saw Carson-Newman chew up more than 350 yards on the ground a game. Turner tutored guard Robby Ignagni to All-America honors, while running back Andy Hibbett became the program’s third Harlon Hill Trophy finalist. Carson-Newman ranked in the top five in the nation in rushing yards per game for a seventh consecutive year. In 2013, Turner’s offense took a turn toward the air. Quarterback De’Andre Thomas set single season records for passing completions and completion percentage, while the veer-option attack continued to churn up yards on the ground in a hurry to the tune of 350 yards per game. It was the sixth consecutive year the Eagles’ rushing game ranked in the top five nationally. The 2012 season turned out to be the best of the bunch for the Eagles’ ground game. C-N averaged 378.6 yards a contest and scored 52 rushing touchdowns. The yards a game led Division II and were more than any other school in all division’s save the Football Championship Subdivision’s Georgia Southern Eagles. No one in collegiate football at any level had more rushing touchdowns than the Eagles 52. Turner saw great individual success among his players in 2012. Senior center Kevin Day took home the SAC’s Jacobs Blocking Award and became the Eagles’ seventh consensus All-American. Quaterback Brandon Haywood was first team all-league and the co-offensive player of the year. Running back Brandon Baker took home all-region and All-America honors after leading the league in rushing with 122.3 yards/game. Though 2011 was a rare down season for the Eagles, Carson-Newman still finished the year as the No. 5 ranked rushing offense in the county, averaging 277.4 yards per game. The Eagles were the No. 8 redzone offense, scoring 89 percent of the time. In 2010, Carson-Newman was the second-ranked rushing attack, with 311.2 yards per game. The Eagles offensive line was ranked No. 17 in the nation in sacks allowed, surrendering on 1.18 sacks per game. Four Eagles earned All-South Atlantic Conference honors on offense, while offensive tackle Michael Tribue was named a first team All-American by Daktronics for a second consecutive season. The Eagles led NCAA Division II in rushing offense in 2009, gaining 336.7 yards per game and were the No. 8 ranked total offense with 471.9 yards per game. C-N was eighth in scoring offense (33.36 points per game) and set a single-game total offense record with 803 yards in a 70-35 victory over Tusculum College, including a school-record 671 yards on the ground. Turner’s 2007 Eagles offense was the first team in SAC history to average 49 points per conference game. His 2004 offense boasted three All-Americans; offensive linemen Caleb Crothers and Reggie Perkins, as well as former Philadelphia Eagles fullback Leonard Weaver. A 1973 graduate of C-N, Turner was a standout center for the Eagles and key member of the 1972 NAIA Champion Bowl runner-up team, the first CarsonNewman squad to reach a national title game. Turner got a chance to win those national titles when he returned to Carson-Newman, after stints as an assistant coach at Randleman (N.C.) High School, Lees-McRae College and Catawba College. Turner coached the offensive line at C-N from 1980-1984, helping the Eagles win two NAIA National Championships. In 1985-86, Turner served as offensive coordinator for the University of North Alabama, guiding the offense that finished as the NCAA Division II runnerup in 1985. Turner returned to the Eagles as offensive coordinator in 1987, helping spark another run of championships. Turner left C-N for a second time to take over the football program at Science Hill High School in 1992. Returning to Carson-Newman in 1994 as the chief fundraiser for the Eagle Club, Turner once again took command of the Eagles offense in 1995. Turner was named the AFCA Division II Assistant Coach of the Year in 2003. He and his wife, Conni, reside in Jefferson City, Tenn. They have two children; Jenni and Josh.

Prior to his year in Cullowhee, Walker spent 10 years as the defensive coordinator and linebackers coach at Coastal Carolina University. In 2015, Walker was named the South Atlantic Conference Coach of the Year after guiding Catawba to its first SAC Championship since 2007 and a spot in the NCAA Division II Playoffs. The Catawba Indians went 9-3 and claimed the outright SAC title with a 6-1 mark, finishing the regular season with seven straight wins.

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 (2004-06). Coastal also won the league championship in 2010. Under Walker, Coastal led the league in pass defense in 2006, ‘07 and `08. On the strength of 18 interceptions in 2007, 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. Walker was a four-year starter and three-time All-American linebacker for Catawba from 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 Catawba 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 Catawba 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, N.C., 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).

lenoir-rhyne bears Head Coach Drew Cronic - 1st Year Hired on December 7, 2017, Drew Cronic became the 22nd Head Football Coach in Lenoir-Rhyne University history. Cronic was the Offensive Coordinator at Furman University this past fall, leading the Paladins to an 8-5 record – 6-2 in the Southern Conference – and a second-place finish in the league standings. The Paladins were ranked as high as No. 22 in the nation and advanced to the second round of the playoffs. Cronic spearheaded an offense which averaged 34 points a game and coached the All-SoCon Second Team Quarterback in P.J. Blazeowski. Before his second stint with Furman, Cronic coached at Reinhardt (Ga.) University for five years (2012-16) and was instrumental in the startup of the program in November of 2011. For the first three seasons, Cronic served as Assistant Head Coach, Offensive Coordinator, Quarterbacks Coach and Recruiting Coordinator for the Eagles before being named the head coaching prior to the 2015 campaign.

In his first season, Cronic directed Reinhardt to a 9-2 season before a recordbreaking in 2016. The Eagles went 13-1, won the Mid-South Conference Championship and advanced to the NAIA National Quarterfinals. Reinhardt averaged 51.1 points per contest and totaled 550.6 yards of offense per game, ranking first in the nation in both categories. Reinhardt also led the nation in rushing offense (360.0 ypg) and rushing touchdowns (71) while having the nation’s second-highest passing efficiency (178.0) to go along with 25 touchdown passes. In addition, the Eagles’ defense finished second in the nation in points allowed (13.8 ppg) and sacks (46) and fifth in total defense at 283.5 yards per contest. As Reinhardt’s mentor, Cronic was named the Mid-South Conference West Division Coach of the Year twice and the AFCA NAIA Region I Coach of the Year. In 2016, Reinhardt produced 14 all-league picks and 24 academic all-conference honorees (both Mid-South Conference highs). Cronic’s squads also excelled in the classroom as his team posted a 3.11 grade point average while 18 student-athletes carried perfect 4.0 grade point averages. Cronic’s first stint at Furman lasted nine years (2002-10) where he worked under Bobby Lamb and served in several coaching roles including wide receivers, running backs, tight ends and recruiting coordinator. He helped guide the Paladins to a 10-3 campaign and a SoCon Title in 2004 and an 11-3 season in 2005, which ended with a trip to the national semifinals. In 1999, Cronic began his coaching career after graduate school with James Madison, where he served three seasons as receivers coach and assistant recruiting coordinator. The Dukes won the Atlantic 10 Championship in his first year (1999) and earned a bid to the NCAA Division I-AA Playoffs. Cronic, a native of Sharpsburg, Ga., played quarterback for his father – Danny Cronic – at East Coweta High School before playing collegiately at the University of Georgia. As a Bulldog, Cronic played wide receiver and was a member of the special teams. Cronic lettered twice and participated in the 1995 Peach Bowl and 1997 Outback Bowl. Cronic received his bachelor’s degree in mathematics education from Georgia in 1998 before serving as a graduate assistant (wide receivers) at West Georgia where he earned his master’s degree in educational leadership in 1999. Cronic and his wife, Amelia, are the proud parents of three sons: Noah, Elijah and Isaiah.

Limestone Saints Head Coach Tony Ierulli - 1st Year Tony Ierulli, who spent six seasons as an assistant coach at Carson-Newman University and nine years as the head coach at Division III Maryville College (Tenn.) was named the third head football coach at Limestone College on February 10. Overall, he brings 35 years of coaching experience at each level of collegiate football to a young Saints program. The 2002 American Football Coaches Association Division II Assistant Coach of the Year has also coached at the NAIA level, in addition to stints with NCAA Division I FBS and FCS institutions. Ierulli spent five seasons on the staff of legendary Carson-Newman coach Ken Sparks before serving as the defensive ends coach under Mike Turner in 2017. During his six years in Jefferson City, Tenn., the Eagles combined for a 47-22 overall record and a pair of NCAA Division II playoff appearances. He helped lead the Eagles to four straight runner-up finishes in the South Atlantic Conference standings with 27 total league wins. On the recruiting front, Ierulli recruited and signed All-American Damian Baker, the 2015 SAC Offensive Player of the Year, and Derek Evans, the 2015 Rimington Award winner. In 2003, Ierulli returned to his alma mater at Maryville as the head football coach and promptly helped turn around a program that went 0-10 the year before. He led the team to 15 wins over the next four seasons before guiding the Scots to a 7-3 mark in 2007 – the team’s best record in nearly a decade. Maryville posted 39 wins during his tenure, the third highest mark for a coach in the team’s 122-year history, while Colby Townsend and Kyle Chewning earned All-America recognition under his mentorship. A total of 77 student-athletes were selected for all-conference honors over those nine seasons, while 74 players were named to the USA South Academic All-Conference Team.

In addition to his head coaching responsibilities, Ierulli served on the NCAA Football Rules Committee and the AFCA Summer Manual Committee during his time at Maryville. He was also involved in organizing alumni fundraising campaigns and community service projects. Prior to his time in Tennessee, Ierulli served as the defensive coordinator at Shippensburg University (Pa.), where he was named the 2002 AFCA DII Assistant Coach of the Year. His defenses consistently ranked among the best in the nation during his stint with the Raiders, leading to a combined 43 wins over seven years. After serving on Terry Bowden’s staff at Salem College (W.Va.) from 1983-85, he reunited with Bowden at Samford University, where he split time as both the recruiting coordinator and defensive coordinator. Ierulli also worked alongside current Texas A&M head coach Jimbo Fisher as the Bulldogs qualified for the FCS playoffs in 1991 and 1992. Ierulli got his start in coaching as a graduate assistant at Bowling Green State University in 1980 before serving as an assistant defensive line coach at the University of Missouri for two years. He joined Bowden’s staff at Salem in 1983 and then took over as the defensive coordinator at Division III Susquehanna University (Pa.) for two seasons. During his distinguished career in the coaching ranks, Ierulli has been a strong proponent of community service. He and his wife, Carol, have established a mentoring and tutoring program at local elementary schools during each of his coaching stops, and his teams have been involved with Habitat for Humanity, the Boys & Girls Club, the YMCA, and many others. In 2014, he helped create the Wounded Warrior Golf Tournament in Maryville, Tenn. to help raise money and awareness for the Wounded Warrior Project. The WWP serves veterans and service members who incurred a physical or mental injury during military service and their families. Ierulli graduated with a bachelor’s degree in Education from Maryville in 1980 and with a master’s in Athletic Administration from Salem in 1985. He and Carol have three children: Anthony (wife, Tracey), Katie (husband, Joe) and Kelli (husband, Nathan), and seven grandchildren: Ruby, Adley, Vincent, Lillian, Nicolas, Anthony and Ava. Ierulli is the cousin of Joe Girardi, a former MLB player and manager of the Florida Marlins and New York Yankees. Girardi was the 2006 National League Manager of the Year with the Marlins before guiding the Yankees to a World Series Championship in 2009.

mars hill lions Head Coach Tim Clifton - 26th Year Tim Clifton is entering his 26th 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 postseason 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 133-130-0. The 133 wins place Clifton second in all-time wins of all SAC head coaches. He has recorded 78 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). Under Clifton’s direction the Lions have set many individual records. Jonas Randolph rewrote the school and SAC record books. He became the South Atlantic Conference’s career rushing leader with 5,608 yards and led all NCAA divisions this season in rushing yards per game (197.27). The SAC Offensive Player of the Year, Randolph’s 2,170 yards in 2011 also set new SAC and school marks. He also had six games of 200 or more rushing yards and nine games of over 100 rushing yards this season. He was a three-time first team All-Super Region 2 honoree and was the Super Region 2 Offensive Player of the Year. Randolph finished the year with 2,170 yards rushing on a Division II-leading 366 carries and scored 18 touchdowns. He averaged more than 37 yards per game more than the next closest Division II rusher. Randolph was also named an AFCA All-American, Daktronics All-American, AP Little All-American and a USA College Sports All-American. Prior to Randolph’s era, Leon Williams was the all-time leading career rusher at Mars Hill recording 2,849 yards (1993-96) and then Travis McFadden (2000-03) surpassed his numbers in 2002 reaching 2,859 career yards. Terrance Stokes became the school’s single game rusher with 252 yards against Wingate University (2000) and the school’s single season rusher with 1,558 yards in 2000. Antione Jones later surpassed Stokes single-game performance with a 322-yard effort against Lenoir-Rhyne in 2005. Jon Richt has set new school marks in attempts in a season (290), completions in a game (28), yards passing in a single season (2,238), and touchdowns in a game (5), season (20) and career (44). Ashley Abernathy set school records in 1993 for most yards passing in a season (1,967) and total yards in a career (6,820). During the 1999 season, Khalid Abdullah recorded a game best five sacks against the University of Virginia’s College at Wise as well as a season high 15 sacks in 2000. Toy Williams tied the school record of three interceptions against Lenoir-Rhyne. During the 2001 season Maurice Jackson picked off nine interceptions that broke the existing school record held by Kevin Barnette and Abdullah set a new mark for the longest interception return of 100 yards on two occasions. In 2014, Dimitri Holmes set the South Atlantic Conference career record in receiving yards (4,231) and career receptions (267) while earning D2Football.com All-American honors.

Clifton has also been fortunate to coach eight All-Americans. Terrance Stokes was selected an American Football Coaches Association All-American, Mike Belk was a third team All-American in 1995 and David Cassell, Toy Williams and Khalid Abdullah were named All-Americans by USA Football.com and D2Football.com, two Division II Internet sites. Cassell was also named an AFCA All-American for his performances during the 2001 campaign while Abdullah received the honor in 2002. After his stellar career at Mars Hill, Abdullah was the first pick in the fifth round by the Cincinnati Bengals. The Lions sent another player to the NFL when cornerback Michael Grant signed a free agent contract with the Cleveland Browns. Jonas Randolph was a three-time AFCA All-American and the 2011 NCAA Player of the Year. Mam Nyang was a Honorable Mention All-American by Don Hansen Football Gazette. 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, 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. Clifton graduated from Mercer University in 1976. Clifton and his wife Joy met while they were in school together and were married in 1977. They have two children: Myriah, age 27, a graduate of Mars Hill and Cody, age 25, also a graduate Mars Hill University. The family makes their home in Mars Hill.

newberry wolves Head Coach Todd Knight - 10th Season Todd Knight completed his ninth year at the helm of the Newberry program in 2017, having made his mark as one of the most successful coaches in program history. His 55-44 overall record makes him the second-winningest coach in school history and the only 40-game winner with a winning record in the 103 years of Newberry football. The 2016 South Atlantic Conference Coach of the Year has a .556 winning percentage, good for second in school history among coaches with 10 or more games at the helm. Knight guided the Woves to five wins in 2017, the seventh time in nine seasons at Newberry that the Wolves have won five or more contests. Newberry began South Atlantic Conference play with two straight league wins, tying for sixth place in league history with 12 consecutive victories in SAC games. The Wolves went 729 days between league losses in a streak that began in 2015. Seven players were named all-South Atlantic Conference, including four first team selections, while six earned all-Eastern College Athletic Conference recognition. Senior center Dakota Mozingo was a first team all-region selection and junior defensive end Jamarcus Henderson was named to the second team. Newberry accounted for seven conference Player of the Week awards between the SAC and ECAC. The team also retained the Bishops’ Trophy with a third straight win over Lenoir-Rhyne and twice played nationally-broadcast games on ESPN3. The Wolves’ defense had multi-year streaks of 18 consecutive games without allowing a 250-yard passer and 17 games without a 100-yard receiver active during much of the 2017 season. And in perhaps the most stunning game of the year, Newberry closed 2017 with a 28-0 win over Mars Hill without completing a pass in a game that saw seven players take snaps at quarterback due to injury while the defense tied an all-time SAC record with six interceptions against the nation’s sixth-ranked passing attack. Half of the Wolves’ losses came by four points or less. The Wolves also excelled in the classroom under Knight’s leadership. Senior offensive lineman Sam Hall earned First Team Academic All-America honors for the second straight year, the first time in school history a student-athlete has earned multiple first team selections. Newberry tied a school record with five Academic All-District selections. And Mozingo became Newberry’s first-ever football player to win the prestigious SAC ScholarAthlete award. Knight, the 2016 SAC Coach of the Year, was the architect of a SAC championship team that saw the Wolves tie a school record with 10 consecutive wins to close the regular season, earn a No. 2 seed in the 2016 NCAA Division II Football Championship, compile a perfect 7-0 conference record for the first time in school history, and play two nationally-televised games. The Wolves led the nation in punt return yardage allowed (10 returns for one total yard) and set school records for scoring (436 points), passing yards (3,536), completions (287), passing touchdowns (30), completion percentage (67.8), total offense (5,462 yards), all-purpose yards (6,496), total touchdowns (61), and sacks (37.5).

The championship marked the fourth conference crown of Knight’s career, with previous SAC titles coming in 2006 and 2008 as Newberry’s defensive coordinator and as an outside linebacker on Gardner-Webb’s 1987 team. Knight was named SAC Coach of the Year in a season that saw quarterback Raleigh Yeldell become Newberry’s first-ever finalist for the Harlon Hill Trophy, pick up Offensive Player of the Year honors from both the SAC and the Eastern College Athletic Conference, and finish eighth in SAC history with a school-record 3,418 yards of total offense. The Wolves totaled a league-high 15 all-conference selections, including six on the first-team offense and nine first-team selections overall. Newberry had three players (Yeldell, DL Jamarcus Henderson, and OL Bobby McNeil) named to various All-America teams, with five others receiving All-Super Region 2 distinction. Additionally, offensive lineman Sam Hall was named a First Team Academic All-American and won the inaugural Elite 18 award from the SAC, which honors the student-athlete with the highest GPA at the final site of competition in each of the league’s 18 sports. Hall joined Holden Beemiller on the Academic All-District team. In his eight years at the helm of Newberry’s program, Knight has coached a Harlon Hill Trophy finalist, three SAC Players of the Year, two ECAC Offensive Players of the Year, 16 All-Americans, 35 All-Region selections, 65 All-SAC honorees, 27 SAC Players of the Week, two Academic All-Americans, and 14 Academic All-District winners. He also has a legacy of preparing players for the NFL. Newberry has four former players on active NFL rosters, a higher percentage of its total enrollment than any college in the nation regardless of NCAA division. 2009 SAC Defensive Player of the Year Ron Parker has started 47 of the Kansas City Chiefs’ 48 games at free safety since 2014 and has accumulated 253 career tackles, seven interceptions, and 39 passes defended in a six-year career. Edmond Robinson has appeared in 21 games as an outside linebacker for Minnesota, Brandon Bostick has two touchdowns as a tight end with Green Bay and the New York Jets, and Corey Washington is currently with Dallas after spending his rookie season with the New York Giants in 2014. The finest year of Knight’s career in 2016 led to the team’s third playoff berth in a four-season span. Newberry earned its second-ever playoff bid after a 9-2 regular season in 2013, then closed the season with four straight wins in 2015 to finish the year 7-4 and earn another trip to the postseason. Newberry has twice finished the season ranked in the final AFCA poll under Knight, closing out 2013 with a No. 23 national ranking and landing at No. 16 in 2016. The Wolves’ 31 wins from 2013-16, all under Knight, are the second-most wins in a four-year period in school history. Newberry’s 32 victories from 2006-09, the final six of which came during Knight’s first season as Head Coach following six seasons as Defensive Coordinator, are the current standard-bearer. Knight won his first game as a head coach on the road at No. 12 Valdosta State in 2009. The win over the Blazers was the first of two wins over ranked opponents in 2009. Newberry has beaten six ranked opponents during Knight’s tenure, including a 24-21 win over No. 8 UNC Pembroke in 2013 that represents the second-highest ranked team Newberry has ever defeated. Newberry was 6-4 in Knight’s first season in 2009, then went 4-6 in consecutive years and turned in a 5-6 performance in 2012 before beginning their four-year run of sustained excellence in 2013. Knight was 19-22 in his first four years as a head coach before Newberry reeled off six straight wins to begin 2013, pushing him over .500 as a head coach for good and setting the stage for Newberry’s success. Knight served as Newberry’s defensive coordinator from 2003-09: six seasons solely as the defensive coordinator and filling both the head coach and coordinator roles in 2009. Knight served as Assistant Head Coach and Defensive Coordinator at Charleston Southern University under David Dowd. Under Knight’s guidance, the 2001 Buccaneers’ “Blue Collar” defense achieved a No. 16 Division I-AA national ranking in pass defense and a No. 20 mark in total defense. He coached the inside linebackers in 1997 before holding the Defensive Coordinator role for five seasons. Knight moved to Charleston Southern from Gardner-Webb, his alma mater, where he coached the Runnin’ Bulldogs’ secondary from 1993-96. He also served as a Graduate Assistant at Gardner-Webb in 1989 before moving to Lees-McRae. Knight coached the Bobcats’ linebackers in 1990 before becoming Defensive Coordinator for the 1991 and 1992 seasons. Knight earned a Bachelor of Science in Physical Education at Gardner-Webb, graduating in 1989. His Master of Arts in Physical Education was awarded in 1990. Knight is married to the former Tina Martin and the couple resides in Newberry. He is the proud father of his daughter, Anna, and sons, Devin and Michael Cash.

tusculum pioneers Head Coach Jerry Odom - 3rd Season Jerry Odom was named the head football coach at Tusculum on Dec. 14, 2015 becoming the 17th gridiron mentor in program history and the fourth since the reinstatement of the sport in 1991. Odom, a 25-year football coaching veteran, boasts a strong lineage of experience at the collegiate and professional ranks where he has mentored 15 NFL players and coached in five postseason bowl games, including the Orange Bowl, Sugar Bowl and Outback Bowl. In his first season at Tusculum in 2016, the Pioneers won three of its last four games, including a 38-28 road win at defending South Atlantic Conference champion Catawba. He also closed out his inaugural TU campaign with a thrilling 31-30 overtime win over archrival CarsonNewman. Tusculum finished with a 4-7 overall record, but went 3-4 to finish fourth in the South Atlantic Conference standings. In 2017, Odom and the Pioneers finished with a 5-5 record and finished in the top half of the league standings for a second straight year with a fourth-place showing. Tusculum won three of its last five games including a 25-17 upset over 12th-ranked Wingate, handing the 2017 SAC Champions their only loss of the regular season. Odom, who served as defensive coordinator in 2017, guided a unit that finished 11th in the nation with 11 fumbles recovered and 15th in the country with four defensive touchdowns. The Pioneers were tops in the conference in turnover margin (+9 - 21st in NCAA II) and turnovers gained (25 - 25th in NCAA II). In just two seasons in Greeneville, he has mentored 10 AllSouth Atlantic Conference standouts and three All-Region performers, including 2016 SAC Defensive Freshman of the Year Jay Boyd, who also garnered All-America distinction in his rookie campaign. Three of his players also shined in the classroom earning CoSIDA Academic All-District accolades, including Evan Altizer, who was a Academic All-America first team choice and was also tabbed the 2017 SAC Football Scholar Athlete of the Year. Altizer was later recognized with the league’s top student-athlete honor as he was chosen as the 20172018 recipient of the SAC Presidents’ Award. The Merritt Island, Florida native served six seasons as the associate head coach at NCAAFCS Jacksonville University from 2010-2015 where he was the chief architect of some of the best defensive units in JU history. While at the Jacksonville, Florida school, Odom helped guide the Dolphins to 47-19 overall record, including a pair of 9-2 campaigns in his last two years at JU.

The Dolphins were also nationally-ranked in total defense (334.5 ypg – 23rd in NCAAFCS) and rushing defense (135.9 ypg – 19th in NCAA-FCS). During his tenure at Jacksonville, 47 defensive players earned All-Conference recognition, including a Pioneer League-best 10 honorees in 2015. Prior to joining the JU staff, Odom was the associate head coach and special teams coordinator with the Philadelphia Soul of the Arena Football League from 2008-2009. The Soul tied the AFL single-season wins record with 17 victories, while capturing the world championship. Odom was also the head coach at Coffee County High School in Douglas, Georgia from 2005-2007. His teams posted a 22-12 record for the best three-year run in school history. After going 4-6 in his first season, the Trojans put together back-to-back nine-win campaigns for the first time ever. For his efforts, he was named the 2006 Region 1-5A Coach of the Year, which has been recognized as the toughest high school football region in the country by USA Today. From 2003-2005, Odom was the defensive coordinator/special teams coordinator at East Carolina University. While at the Greenville, North Carolina program, ECU led Conference USA in kickoff returns, punt returns and kickoff coverage. While with the Pirates, Odom also recruited the likes of running back Chris Johnson, who went on to become the NFL’s leading rusher in 2009 with the Tennessee Titans. From 2000-2002, he served as linebackers coach and special teams coordinator at the University of Florida as Odom helped lead the Gators to a top-10 ranking in total defense in each of his three seasons in Gainesville. He mentored All-Southeastern Conference linebacker Andra Davis, who finished as a national semifinalist for the 2001 Butkus Award. His linebacker corps sparked a Gator defense that was ranked 18th nationally. Florida went 28-10 during that three-year span, including a 10-3 record while capturing the 2000 SEC Championship and advanced to the Sugar Bowl. The 2001 team went 10-2 and knocked off Maryland in the Orange Bowl. Florida finished 8-5 the next year and earned a bid to the Outback Bowl. Odom played collegiately at Florida where he was a four-year letterman at inside linebacker for the Gators from 1987-1990. He started in every game in his junior and senior campaigns on a defense that was among the nation’s top-five in total defense in 1988, 1989 and 1990. His senior squad tied for first place in the 1990 SEC standings with a 9-2 record as he led the Gators in tackles for a second consecutive season while earning All-SEC third team honors. He was an All-SEC Freshman Team selection in 1987 and was tabbed to the SEC Academic Honor Roll in 1990 while also serving as the Gators’ team captain. Odom served as a graduate assistant coach on the Florida staff in 1991 as the Gators won the SEC Championship with a 10-2 record and played in the Sugar Bowl. He has coached at various high schools in Florida and also served as a graduate assistant at Texas Christian University under Pat Sullivan. From 1992-1998, Odom played professionally with the AFL’s Orlando Predators for seven seasons as a linebacker/running back. He helped the Predators to four Arena Bowl appearances (1992, 1994, 1995, 1998) and won the title in 1998. He retired as Orlando’s career rushing yardage leader and ranked fifth in AFL history. Odom graduated from Florida in 1991 while majoring in health and human performance with a minor in education. He is married to the former Donna Carter of Charleston, South Carolina and they are the parents of two sons, Reid and Clay.

In 2006, Wingate placed a school-record 10 players on the All-South Atlantic Conference first and second teams. Wingate equaled its school record for senior college wins in a season, compiling an 8-3 overall mark. Wingate’s five SAC wins set a new school record. When Reich and his staff arrived in 2000, the team had completed a 1-10 season under the previous regime. The Bulldogs compiled an 8-3 overall record in 2004, 2006 and 2008. Reich was named SAC Coach of the Year in 2004. Reich spent eight years as an assistant coach at the University of Buffalo. Prior to Buffalo, he was an assistant coach at his alma mater Gettysburg College and a graduate assistant coach at Georgia Tech under Bobby Ross.
