THE HISTORY OF NEWBERRY
Newberry wears its past like a colorful vestment — one that has been altered and restyled for the present. College graduation robes, textiles from 19th century mills and lace curtains hanging at the windows of Antebellum homes are some of the textures that give dimension to this proud community.The town is trimmed with architectural elements that detail its development, beginning with its early settlement in 1745 by Adam Summer. Within the downtown business district, there are several blocks in which every building is on the National Register of Historic Places. This part of the South Carolina Upcountry was settled largely by Scotch-Irish, English and German immigrants in the mid-18th century. Large scale cotton farming replaced small farms in the 19th century, and the coming of the railroad made Newberry a leading cotton market. Changing, expanding civic needs have always inspired new uses for old buildings in Newberry. Today, visitors can see the city’s Old Court House, built in 1852, now serving as a community hall. The Gothic-style Opera House, exemplifying Victorian civic architecture, was the center of cultural and civic activity from 1882 until 1930. The Ritz Theater was built in 1936 in the Art Deco style for use as a movie theater. Now, the Newberry Community Players have breathed new life into the facility, gradually restoring the 800-seat building. Newberry College has been one of the town’s most popular points of interest since it was first chartered in 1856. Although the campus’ original structure was so badly damaged a few years later by Federal troops that its remains were eventually torn down, Smeltzer Hall was later constructed on that original foundation. Its strategic location as a railroad depot not only connected turn-of-thecentury Newberry with commerce and passenger centers such as Augusta, Charlotte, Greenville and Columbia, but it was also the link between local mills and their market. Today, several mill villages remain as reminders of that early era.

SETZLER FIELD
The Home of Newberry College football since 1922
SETZLER FIELD HISTORY Setzler Field is home to the Newberry College football program. The field was named after Professor Edwin B. Setzler (Class of 1892) on Nov. 4, 1922. It is the oldest on-campus football stadium in the state of South Carolina. The scarlet and gray, coached by Frank “Dutch” McLean (Class of 1915), won the first varsity game played on Setzler Field by defeating The Citadel, 10-7. The first game played on the field was a win by the Newberry College junior varsity over Newberry High School, 33-0, on Sept. 16, 1922. In the summer of 2006, the grass playing surface was replaced with AstroPlay XPN, an artificial playing surface also used in the RCA Dome by the NFL’s Indianapolis Colts. The new surface features a large block “N” at midfield and red end zones with “NEWBERRY” written in both ends. Newberry tied the University of South Carolina for the state title in 1924, and were the champions of the Little Four Conference in 1940. Newberry played in the Elks Bowl in 1954 and earned the Little Four championship and a berth in the Palmetto Shrine Bowl in 1955. Newberry’s first championship in football since joining the NCAA in 1992 was earned in 2006. Newberry claimed the South Atlantic Conference championship in 2006 with a conference record of 6-1. Newberry hosted NCAA postseason competition for the first time on Nov. 18, 2006, as Newberry - the third seed in the Southeast Region - defeated sixth-seeded Albany State, 34-28, in the first round. The scarlet and gray finished the season 11-2 overall. The Wolves will host six home games at Setzler Field in the 2010 campaign, starting with the Livingstone game on September 4.
VARSITY WEIGHT ROOM The newest addition to Newberry’s athletic facilities
Newberry College’s student-athletes will be able to take advantage of the new Varsity Weight Room for the first time in the fall semester of the 2010-11 academic year. Located in the Physical Education Complex adjacent to Eleazer Arena, the weight room is under the direction and supervision of Newberry alumnus David Helms, who is the new Director of Strength, Conditioning and Sports Performance. The weight room contains eight full racks and six half racks, all of which are state-of-the-art racks constructed by Sorinex. At full capacity, the weight room can safely see 42 student-athletes in lifting rotations simultaneously. Student-athletes will be able to squat, clean, bench, front squat, power clean and close grip at every rack. The weight room also has dumbbells ranging from five- to 100-pounds. There are also four glute-ham raise stations, six strap stations and six plyometrics stations. The new strength, conditioning and sports performance program will utilize the weight room for the optimal performance of all sports offered by the Wolves.
PROFESSIONAL POTENTIAL Each year, Newberry College is a highly visited stop for professional football scouts. Almost every NFL team sends multiple scouts to the Newberry campus to view potential professional football players. In the spring, Newberry hosts a pro day, where seniors and juniors are worked out by professional scouts in a scouting combine-like test including the 40-yard dash, shuttle run, vertical jump and bench press. In 2010, wide receiver Kelton Tindal was signed to a free agent contract by the NFL’s Minnesota Vikings. He also worked with the Canadian Football League’s Edmonton Eskimos during their training camp. In the last three years, Newberry players have been in preseason camp with the Vikings and Eskimos, the Miami Dolphins and the New Orleans Saints. While Newberry is a small school, out studentathletes still have great opportunities to continue their athletic careers athe professional level once they receive their degree.

The Moore Orthopaedics Clinic
Official Sports Medicine Provider
Newberry College athletic director Brad Edwards has announced a new partnership with the Moore Orthopaedic Clinic of Columbia. The Moore Clinic will be the official sports medicine provider for Newberry College Athletics beginning in the 2010 fall semester. “Establishing a partnership of this magnitude is a significant and important step for Newberry College,” Edwards said. “It will dramatically improve the delivery of medical care for our student-athletes and from an economic development perspective shows the high level of interest from entities looking to invest in Newberry College and Newberry County.” “We are very excited to be the Sports Medicine provider for Newberry College and look forward to building a long-lasting relationship with the Newberry College Athletic Department and its student-athletes,” said Dr. Wendell Holmes, Moore Clinic Sports Medicine program Medical Director. With 11 physicians and three locations, Moore Clinic is one of the largest practices in the Midlands for the treatment of orthopaedics. Founder Dr. Austin T. Moore developed the very first prosthetic for total joint reconstruction in 1928 and Moore Clinic’s experience and research since that time has continued to lead to significant advances in all specialty field of orthopaedic care.

2010 PREVIEW 11
Quarterback
The quarterback position will have a new starter in the 2010 season who will have to follow the act of Academic All-American and all-SAC signal caller Brandon Gantt, who passed for 2,324 yards and 13 touchdowns in 2009. The starter entering preseason camp is sophomore Bryan Ehrlich (San Antonio, Texas). Ehrlich saw action in three games last season, but has taken only 41 snaps and is the only quarterback on the roster with collegiate experience. Ehrlich only threw 10 passes in his redshirt freshman season, but completed eight of them for 86 yards and a 152.2 quarterback efficiency rating. “I’ve called Bryan a gunslinger, and a lot of that is because he’s from Texas, but he’s that got that kind of style and mentality when he plays the game,” Knight said. “He’s got a huge arm, he’s not afraid and he thinks he can make every play and every throw. He kind of reminds you of a young Brett Favre. He’s a great leader and he’s definitely our starter this year.” Redshirt freshman Parker Hite (Ninety Six, S.C.), sophomore Michael Rentz (Charleston, S.C.) and incoming freshman W.T. Murden (West Columbia, S.C.) are expected to push Ehrlich in camp. “I think Parker Hite’s going to push Ehrlich. He’s a very conscientious, hard-working kid and a great student who’s coming into his own. He can actually do some
12
2010 PREVIEW things better than Bryan when its comes to his feet and running. I think there’s definitely a place for him here, and if something went wrong, he could step in and handle it without a problem. “Michael Rentz is a kid who came along tremendously in the spring and I think he’s grown not only as a football player, but as a person. His maturity level has greatly improved and he’s a kid who can execute this offense if the need arises. “W.T. Murden is kind of the future of the program in my mind. I want to bring him in here, learn the offense, be very patient with his development and then eventually turn it over to him down the road.”
Running Back
The running back position will also see a new starter after graduating all-SAC selections S.J. Worrell and Gerald Legree, who combined for 1,087 yards and 11 touchdowns last year. With quarterback Brandon Gantt’s graduation and other attrition, the Wolves return just two of last year’s 23 rushing touchdowns, and only one from the running back position. “That’s a tough hit, losing a couple of guys who were great tailbacks for us,” Knight said. “It’s going to be hard to overcome, but we have a stable full of tailbacks. From top to bottom, that might be our strongest position even after losing S.J. and Gerald.” Two players are poised to pick up the slack and carry the ball to support their young quarterback. Lyndon Ingram (Columbia, S.C.) did not see much action in his sophomore season, and currently tops the depth chart. “Lyndon came out of spring ball as our starting tailback. He had a great spring and it’s his job to lose. I have all the confidence in the world in Lyndon.” Alkeem Sherman (Conway, S.C.) is the leading returning rusher, having carried the ball 45 times for 229 yards and one touchdown in 2009. He also earned the start in one game. “Alkeem is a bruiser, but he’s got deceiving speed. He had some good yardage last season, but coming out of spring ball, he wasn’t our starter.” A pair of transfers are also expected to bolster the running back position. Dion Bryant (Crawfordville, Fla.), who came from Allan Hancock College in California, and Mario Carter (Irmo, S.C), who came from Presbyterian College, will challenge Sherman and Ingram. Bryant was a first team all- Southern California Football Association all-purpose offensive player for AHC in 2008 and had over 1,200 yards in his junior college career. Carter was Presbyterian’s second leading rusher in 2008 behind Worrell, who also transferred to Newberry from Clinton. “Dion Bryant is a new face to us, and he is electric. I think
he’s going to shock a lot of people and I think he’s going to have a great year with us. “Mario Carter got banged up early in the spring, but he came back strong and really opened the eyes of the coaching staff in the spring. He’s a very versatile player, who can also do a lot of things from the slot position and in motion packages.”
Fullback and Tight End
Tight end Connor Hilton (Hickory, N.C.) is the only player at that position returning from the 2009 season, and has mainly seen action in special teams and blocking packages. The heady player will be asked to expand his role in his senior season. Two players will be moving to tight end from the defensive side of the ball to play fullback in Matt Kingdom (Summerville, S.C.) and Ashton Ornelas (Greenville, S.C.). Brandon Bamberg (Bamberg, S.C.), a transfer from Holy Cross, is also expected to add depth at the tight end position. “Connor Hilton is an incredibly smart young man with a great mind for the game of football,” Knight said. “We’ll be relying on him heavily at the tight end position, and I think he’ll respond for us because he knows the offense inside and out. “Brandon Bamberg is a kid that we have high expectations for. I think he had a decent spring, but probably not as good as I would like to have seen or as good as he would
like to see. There’s still some question marks when it comes to him, but there’s also several young guys coming in the fall who we will give a legitimate shot to. “At the fullback spot, Ashton Ornelas is a hard, tough kid and Matt Kingdom has proven himself at the linebacker position, and I think he’ll be another tough fullback. There are also some younger kids waiting in the wings that may be a little bit of a surprise at that position.”
Wide Receiver
Ever since Tymere Zimmerman stepped on campus in 2003, the wide receiver position has been the deepest position at Newberry. Despite three 1,000-yard career receivers completing their eligibility after 2009, the position is still loaded, with a pair of preseason all-SAC players returning and some exciting new players seeing their first action this year. Brandon Bostick (Florence, S.C.) was named a first team preseason all-SAC player after catching 33 passes for 458 yards and two touchdowns in 2009. “Bostick is a beast at his position,” Knight said. “It’s a physical mismatch every snap between that guy and any corner in our conference.” David Pressley (Anderson, S.C.) is a second team preseason all-SAC pick after catching 29 passes for 334 yards and two touchdowns last year. He had 100-yard receiving games in both the Valdosta State and Austin Peay games to start 2009.
2010 PREVIEW “I think if David didn’t get banged up a little bit last season he definitely would have been an all-everything candidate. I think he has that type of potential. He’s a tremendous leader and he is definitely a go-to guy.” Joining the all-conference pairing will be an exciting group of players who will see action for the first time in the scarlet and gray. Edward Gilliard (Summerville, S.C.) and Brian Leneau (Sumter, S.C.) have seen limited action in previous seasons, but will get their first chance to truly shine in 2010. Transfers Darien Crawford (Bryceville, Fla.) and Markish Jones (Spartanburg, S.C.) will look to impress at the Division II level after starring in junior college. Treginald Wilson (Mayesville, S.C.) and Cameron Winchester (Gilbert, S.C.) are also expected to be impact players. “We’ve got a lot of depth in the receiving corps. In the spring, Gilliard really proved that he’s going to be a guy we can count on every week. Leneau came out as a starter at the slot position and is a talented kid who will help us every Saturday. “Darien Crawford has the capability to be a big-time player. I hope he shows up to that, because that’s what we’re looking for out of him. “There’s been a lot of hype surrounding Markish Jones ever since he was in high school. He and I both feel that it’s just been a lot of talk up to this point and it’s time to see the results on the field.”
nationally in sacks allowed. The team averaged 30.6 pass attempts for every sack allowed and ranked second in the conference and 32nd in the nation in total offense (410.1 yards per game). “The great thing is everyone’s coming back up front. We lost some tailbacks and are bringing some good ones back, but the key to the whole thing is the offensive line. We feel pretty good about everything - pass protection and run blocking - coming together. With the talent and experience we have on the Roach Patrol, there’s no reason in the world we shouldn’t be extremely successful on offense.” The linemen also are classroom leaders. Lequawn James (North, S.C.) was a CoSIDA/ESPN the Magazine Academic All-District selection as a redshirt freshman and six linemen made the SAC Commissioner’s Honor Roll. “We’ve got some big guys up front, but we also have some extremely intelligent men up front. Lequawn James is an extremely smart young man who does well in the classroom, but on the field he has that unique capability to turn into a beast. It’s a great combination.” James and Ben Hyder (Pickens, S.C.) are expected to start at the guard positions, although a strong group behind them in Johnny Brewer (Easley, S.C.), Russell Feaster (Rock Hill, S.C.), Kenny Heath (Aiken, S.C.), Sam Mallard (Rock Hill, S.C.) and Walter Simmons (Charleston, S.C.) will push them for the starting position and could rotate into the lineup without a drop off in the quality of play
Offensive Line
The “Roach Patrol” offensive line will once again be one of the offense’s strong points, with three of the five starters named to preseason all-conference honors. Senior center Matt Holmes (Johnston, S.C.) has started in 20 consecutive games entering the 2010 season and should be a candidate for the Jacobs Blocking Trophy and Gene Upshaw Award in his final season with the Wolves. Holmes earned all-region, all-state and all-conference honors as a junior and is widely considered to be one of the top linemen in Newberry annals. “Matt Holmes is our leader up front,” Knight said. “It all starts with him. We’ve been getting it done with him leading the way for a long time and we’ll follow him as far as he’ll take us.” The two starting tackles are juniors Chase Gamble (Dallas, N.C.) and Ben Inabinet (Irmo, S.C.), who both earned second team preseason all-SAC nods going into the 2010 campaign. The three all-conference performers will lead an offensive line that returns every single player who was in the trenches for a snap last year, a rare commodity for any team.On top of that, the “Roach Patrol” allowed only 11 sacks in 337 passing attempts and ranked 22nd
13
Defensive Line
The defensive line will look to a pair of senior leaders to turn into a dominant unit in 2010. Defensive end Derrell Kinard (Boiling Springs, S.C.) enters his senior season as a second team preseason allSAC pick. Kinard led the team with three sacks last season and made 27 total tackles. He will serve as one of the two defensive captains this year. “Derrell is a kid who’s made a tremendous comeback.,” Knight said. “There was a time when he didn’t look very good, but all of a sudden, he flipped a switch and he’s just been perfect since that happened. He’s turned into a poster child for our program, both on and off the field. I cannot say enough good things about him. We will win with him.” Senior defensive tackle Andre Clark (Rock Hill, S.C.) will be a leader for the interior of the line after making 18 tackles a year ago. “I’ve been around Andre Clark for a long time and I am extremely confident in what he can do for us. I trust him with everything we have on defense. He’s a tremendous leader and we’ll get a lot of mileage out of him this because it’s his last go-round and he’s going to do everything he can to make sure we’re successful.” Defensive ends Eli Charles (Green Cove Springs, Fla.) and Jason Myers (Kingstree, S.C.) will make an immediate impact after transferring from Florida State and Feather
14
2010 PREVIEW River College, respectively. Arterio Arnold (Greenville, S.C.) will be the young gun of the group and Elmano Hamilton (Charleston, S.C.), Alonzo Henry (Marietta, Ga.), Dominique Jacobs (Columbia, S.C.), Brandon McCall (Sumter, S.C.) and Furman transfer Adim Obata (Atlanta, Ga.) will rotate in to complete a strong group of defensive tackles. “Eli Charles and Jason Myers did a tremendous job for us in the spring. I’m very excited to see those two line up and play for us on Saturdays. There’s no doubt they can immediately help us succeed. “I’m also really looking forward to seeing Adim Obata and Arterio Arnold at defensive tackle. They are both rising stars and as far as their development is concerned, the sky is the limit.”
Linebacker
The Wolves will have a big hole to fill after the graduation of all-star outside linebacker Andre Moyd, but also return a crop of strong players and bring in plenty of talent to bolster the ranks. Seniors Josh Williams (Duncan, S.C.) and R.J. Reeder (Spartanburg, S.C.) are both second team preseason allSAC selections after strong 2009 seasons. Williams was third on the team last year with 49 tackles, including a conference-best 17 tackles in the Carson-Newman game. He worked his way from a backup role into six starts and a preseason all-conference nod. “Sometimes coaches think they’re smarter than they really are, and I guess I fall into that category,” Knight said. “I moved Josh to the inside linebacker spot from the outside late, and all of the pieces of the puzzle began to fall into place. He’s a great kid who does all of the right things to help our program win.” Reeder was right behind Williams with 43 tackles in his junior campaign after converting to linebacker from safety. His versatility will be an added bonus for the team at the outside linebacker spot. “Reeder moving to the outside linebacker spot was pivotal to our defense’s success last year. I think he did a heck of a job last year. He’s a very versatile player who is very good both in coverage and when he’s blitzing. We can do a lot of different things with Reeder; he’s a special breed.” Inside linebackers Apollo Stretch (Columbia, S.C.), Joe Smith (Jonesville, S.C.) and Xavier Wallace (Kingstree, S.C.) also return after strong seasons in 2009. “Apollo is a definite presence on the inside. He’s a huge kid for an inside linebacker and he runs really well and he’s a very agressive kid. He’s a guy who the rest of the team will rally around. They like having Apollo on the field with them. “Joe Smith had a great spring and I really look for him to
have a heck of a season. Another kid who has really come into his own is Xavier Wallace. Xavier will be a really good football player for us here in the years to come.” On the outside, returners Kelton Hall (Clinton, S.C.), David Johnson (Elk Grove, Calif.) and redshirt freshman Dominique Walker (Rock Hill, S.C.) will bring experience and knowledge of the system, while Georgia Southern transfer J.B. Shippy (Gaffney, S.C.) brings explosive athleticism to the table. “Kelton is one of those special kids kind of like Reeder with a little less experience. You can do a lot of different things with Kelton. David Johnson is a guy along those same lines. He also converted from a safety spot, so it’s obvious that versatility at that position is key. They will both contend for a starting job. “Dominique Walker is going to be a kid who really catches people’s eye when they come to the games. He flies around the field and is always looking to make the big hit. “J.B. Shippy is a true talent who was Mr. Everything in South Carolina in his high school days. The first college game he ever played in was a start in Samford Stadium against the Georgia Bulldogs, so he’s used to the big game atmosphere. He’s really excited to be in Newberry and I think he will be a big contributor for us.”
Cornerback
Newberry has been blessed with a large number of
athletic cornerbacks throughout the past few years’success and 2010 is no different. The group will be led by second team all-SAC senior Kamaal McIlwain (Van Wyck, S.C.). Mc Ilwain was second on the team in passes defended with 11, including a clutch interception inside the Newberry 5-yardline in the win at Valdosta State. He is also one of the premier kick-blockers in Division II, having blocked four kicks in the last two seasons. “Kamaal is just as exicted about his senior season as I am,” Knight said. “Nobody - and I mean nobody anywhere, not just at Newberry - has a better work ethic than Kamaal McIlwain. Not only is he talented, but when you combine that with the work that he puts into his game, it makes him extremely tough to beat.” Charleston Southern transfer and former Division I FCS All-American Phillip Ashley (Tallahassee, Fla.) will be a massive addition to the squad. Ashley holds the single game, season and career records for interceptions at CSU. “Phillip Ashley’s got the pedigree you’re looking for. He’s an All-American transferring in for his last season. He’s been here this summer training with some of our kids and looks fantastic. We’re extremely excited to have him here.” Also expected to see plenty of time on the corners are Wake Forest transfer Channing Schofield (Wagener, S.C.) and returner James Bostick (Scotia, S.C.)
2010 PREVIEW “Channing Schofield had a great spring with us. He started in bowl games for Wake Forest, so he’s got expereince at a completely different level than most of our kids, and he’s a guy who could start for us. “James Bostick is a guy who’s worked himself into a position and now I know we can count on James every Saturday.”
Shrine Bowl freshman Ruben Perez (Fountain Inn, S.C.). “Nick Kinney and JoJo Morris will battle for the punting duties and I expect that battle to be neck-and neck. As a true freshman, I expect Ruben Perez to come in and challenge all of those guys. I’m not too wild about starting a true freshman like that, but if he proves himself to be the best one out there, he’ll get the ball.”
Safety
Return Game
Newberry’s highlight player stars at the safety position, but he will be backed up by a solid group. Ron Parker (St. Helena Island, S.C.) will catch most of the headlines for the team after his 2009 South Atlantic Conference Defensive Player of the Year performance as a junior. Parker made 83 tackles with six interceptions and 13 passes defended, all of which led the team and ranked in the top three in the conference. “What else is there to say about Ron Parker that hasn’t already been said?” Knight said. “Seeing him go through all of the turmoil he’s been through in his life and watching him explode onto the scene as a junior and become the Defensive Player of the Year and earn all of his accolades last year was an absolute pleasure. He is simply the man for us and I hope all the best in the world for Ron, not only this season, but down the road when he’s getting paid to play for a professional team.” But the safety position will also be manned by a pair of top-notch players who would also catch headlines if not for the presence of the All-American. Brooks Burnette (Bonneau, S.C.) and Harry Cabaniss (Greenville, S.C.) will make their presence known both at safety and on kick coverage situations. “Brooks and Harry are two guys who I would trust with anything I have in the world. Thos kids will get it done no matter what. They are simply winners.”
Kicking Game
Newberry’s tremendous speed at the outside skill positions will help on special teams as well, giving the Wolves many options for kick returners “We’ve got such a good talent base throughout our program that any number of kids could find themselves returning kicks and punts for us,” Knight said. “I feel very confident with David Pressley returning punts and Kamaal McIlwain returning kicks for us, but it could be any number of people who have the chance to return on special teams and help us have a short field to work with.”
2010 Schedule
The always tough South Atlantic Conference schedule will be augmented by three non-conference games which should provide the Wolves with challenges. After opening the season on Sept. 4 against Livingstone, which went 0-10 last year, the Wolves host Valdosta State on Sept. 11 and travel to Division I FCS opponent Samford on Sept. 16, marking the second straight year Newberry plays an FCS opponent. “I think our non-conference schedule is challenging, especially with the likes of Valdosta State and Sanford, and as it always is in the South Atlantic Conference, any team can win any game, so it will be tough,” Knight said. “The first game seems like a long time from now, but it’ll be here before we know it and I’m excited. I hope we can ride the wave of emotion from our winning record last season and the wins in the last two games and keep building on that in the 2010 season.”
Newberry’s placekicker return in the form of Britt Blackmon (Kershaw, S.C.), but four-year punter and kickoff man Todd Moon has finished his eligibility, leaving the door open for many players to audition. Blackmon ranked fifth in the SAC in scoring per game and scored 41 points for the scarlet and gray on the season. He made over 80 percent of his PAT attempts and two-thirds of his field goal kicks. He had a career-long 42-yarder made in the game at Wingate. “Britt kind of got into a slump last year and struggled to get out of it,” Knight said. “I’m expecting bigger and better things out of him this year and he knows that. He’s our starter going into the season, but it’s his job to lose.” Blackmon will be pushed by junior Nick Kinney (Goose Creek, S.C.), sophomore JoJo Morris (Lancaster, S.C.) and

WOLVES IN THE COMMUNITY
Being a member of the Newberry Wolves’ football team carries responsibility well beyond the gridiron and the classroom. Newberry football players pride themselves on not only being great examples in athletics and academics, but also as ambassadors to their community.
Throughout the year, the Wolves make it a point to serve the community through multiple off-campus projects. The program is highly interested in enriching the lives of disadvantaged young people, and many of their projects reflect that interest. The Boys Farm is a Christian residential youth care ministry located in Newberry, just down the road from the College. The Wolves team collected over $600 in donations for the Boys Farm at the 2010 Spring Game. The team also visits the Boys Farm at intervals throughout the year to interact with the young men, while all of the Boys Farm’s resident youth can take advantage of a permanent invitation to attend the Wolves games and practices as special guests of the team. Another project of choice for the Wolves is an annual summer trip to the Shriners Hospital for Children in Greenville, just an hour away from campus. The Shriners Hospital provides care for thousands of kids with orthopaedic conditions, burns, spinal cord injuries, and cleft lip and palate, in a family-centered environment regardless of the patients’ ability to pay. The Wolves always enjoy the trip up I-385 to visit with children who exhibit great faith and bravery as they fight through incredibly tough situations at such a young age. After the team’s visit, it is usually hard to tell if the young children or the college students had a better time during the visit. The Boys Farm and Shriners Hospital are just two major organizations the Wolves serve in their community. Many players take on projects in smaller groups or individually to enrich the lives of others in our community. Many people talk about helping out in their community, but the Wolves football team leaves no question about their intent. While on the field, the Wolves entertain and play to win, and while they are in their community, the Wolves are active and responsible citizens.

THE ORDER OF THE GRAY STRIPE
Years ago, real men didn’t eat quiche. Today, real men are leaders. Todd Knight, head football coach at Newberry College ensures his program creates leaders. Inspired by North Carolina State’s Dick Sheridan’s Diamond Club, Knight has created the Order of the Gray Stripe. The Stripe symbolizes an earned distinction, it designates the wearer as one of the elite, as the “best of the best.”
Gray, one of the school colors, was chosen to contrast with the red and white uniforms. The stripe runs the length of the helmet and is highly prized Knight is equally proud of the men who wear the Stripe. “They are leaders, on and off of the field,” he explains “They’re well-rounded. It goes beyond athletics, it’s integrity, effort, academics and attitude as well.” The elite few who wear the Stripe will be immediately recognized by it. “It’s a special reminder of the philosophy of the program,” comments Assistant Head Coach Todd Varn. “The Stripe signifies character.” Eight men proudly wear the Gray Stripe: seniors Matt Holmes, Derrell Kinard, David Pressley, Josh Williams, juniors Chase Gamble, Joe Smith, Apollo Stretch and sophomore Bryan Ehrlich. All of the football coaches unanimously decide to extend the invitation to the Order of the Gray Stripe. Thus far, no one has declined to sign the oath. The students regard it as an honor; their signature equals commitment. Real men not only are leaders, but at Newberry College real men create a legacy. -by Martha Windsor, Newberry College Media Relations

2009 RECAPS NEWBERRY 31 at No. 12 VALDOSTA STATE 24
August 29, 2009 Bazemore-Hyder Stadium Valdosta, Ga. Attendance: 9,217
VALDOSTA, Ga. – The Todd Knight era of Newberry College football got off to the best start possible as the unranked scarlet and gray came back from a halftime deficit to take down nationally ranked Valdosta State University, 31-24, in front of 9,217 fans at Bazemore-Hyder Stadium on Saturday. Newberry (1-0) intercepted five passes – four of which were inside the Newberry 25-yardline – to stave off the VSU (0-1; No. 13 AFCA; No. 8 D2Football.com) attack. The scarlet and gray also put up 470 yards of offense and controlled the clock throughout the game. Senior quarterback Brandon Gantt (Lexington, S.C.) completed 25-of-39 passes for 333 yards with three touchdowns and an interception. It was the 14th time a Newberry quarterback has passed for over 300 yards in a game. David Pressley (Anderson, S.C.) led the receiving corps with 10 catches for 103 yards and a touchdown, while David Smith (Union, S.C.) was not far behind with six receptions for 97 yards and a touchdown. Kelton Tindal (Sumter, S.C.) had five catches for 88 yards and a touchdown. On the ground, S.J. Worrell (Madison, Ga.) led the team with 19 carries for 77 yards and what proved to be the game-winning touchdown. Defensively, the star of the night was senior safety Ron Parker (St. Helena Island, S.C.). Parker totaled 10 tackles to lead the team and also snuffed out back-to-back VSU drives with interceptions in the fourth quarter. Also recording interceptions were Brooks Burnette (Bonneau, S.C.), Kamaal McIlwain (Van Wyck, S.C.) and Antonio Patton (Woodruff, S.C.). McIlwain recorded four pass breakups on the night and Patton averaged 20 yards per return on three punt returns. The game got off to a picture-perfect start for Newberry, as the scarlet and gray took the opening kickoff and marched 62 yards in seven plays for the season’s first score. Gantt connected with Tindal for a 29-yard touchdown pass on fourth-and-8 to give Newberry a 7-0 lead. Newberry extended the lead to 10-0 in the first quarter on an 18-yard field goal from Britt Blackmon (Kershaw, S.C.) with 1:01 remaining in the quarter. A 25-yard completion from Gantt to senior tight end Justin Greene (Irmo, S.C.) set the field goal up. Entering the game, one of the biggest stories in Division II football was VSU transfer quarterback Kellen Lewis, who joined the Blazers after setting multiple records at Indiana. His hype was quickly deflated as Patton’s interception at the Newberry 22 put an end to the first quarter.
However, Lewis would turn the tables in the second quarter. After leading a drive that ended in a 35-yard field goal from Daniel Anderson, the senior connected on touchdown passes of 52 and 40 yards to give VSU a 17-10 halftime lead. But the Newberry defense responded with a fire that helped the scarlet and gray score 21 straight points. After forcing the Blazers to go three-and-out on the second half’s opening drive, NC went 56 yards in five plays to tie the game on a 25-yard Gantt-to-Pressley touchdown pass. On the next drive, the Newberry defense injured Lewis, forcing him from the game for the night. Backup quarterback Russ Callaway’s first pass of the night was picked off by Burnette at the Valdosta 44, and he returned it to the VSU 30. It only took two plays for Newberry to take the lead for good, as Gantt’s 27-yard touchdown pass to Smith gave Newberry a 23-17 lead after a botched snap on the PAT attempt. Callaway continued to lead the VSU offense and the Blazers were poised to tie the game before McIlwain made a spectacular catch at the Newberry 4-yardline to record his fourth career interception and end VSU’s drive. After a Newberry punt and a VSU missed field goal, Newberry engineered a 10-play, 80-yard drive that was capped by Worrell’s 1-yard touchdown plunge. A two-point conversion pass from Gantt to Pressley gave Newberry a 31-17 lead. Valdosta State moved the ball well in the latter stages of the game, but Parker’s heroics kept the Blazers out of the endzone until the final minute of the game. The senior safety intercepted a Ronnye Nelson pass at the Newberry 4-yardline on a fourth down trick play and rescued Newberry on the next VSU drive, coming up with a spectacular leaping pick in the endzone after VSU had intercepted a Gantt pass deep in Newberry territory. The Blazers moved to within a touchdown with 32 second on the clock on an 18-yard Callaway-to-Cedric Evans touchdown pass, but Pressley fell on the ensuing onside kick to seal the win for Newberry. Newberry limited Lewis to 9 completions on 19 attempts for 148 yards and a touchdown, while Callaway was 14-of-27 passing for 171 yards, a touchdown and three interceptions. Nelson threw an interception on his only passing attempt, but scored a rushing touchdown.

2009 RECAPS NEWBERRY at AUSTIN PEAY
23 34
CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. – The Newberry College football team could not overcome the big play and turnovers as the scarlet and gray (1-1) dropped a 34-23 decision to Division I-FCS Austin Peay (1-0) at Governors Stadium on Saturday. Senior quarterback Brandon Gantt (Lexington, S.C.) completed 35-of-47 passes for 335 yards and a touchdown in the loss. Gantt completed his first 10 passes in succession and tied the school record for completions in a game. Junior receiver David Pressley (Anderson, S.C.) caught 10 passes for 149 yards and a touchdown. David Brown (Goose Creek, S.C.) also caught 10 passes, going for 80 yards. Alkeem Sherman (Conway, S.C.) was the team’s leading rusher with six carries for 56 yards. Defensively, senior safety Ron Parker (St. Helena Island, S.C.) once again led the way, making 14 tackles – 12 solo, and 2.5 for a loss – and snagging his third interception of the season. R.J. Reeder (Spartanburg, S.C.) made seven tackles and recovered a fumble. Joe Smith (Jonesville, S.C.) forced a fumble and Antonio Patton (Woodruff, S.C.) grabbed an interception. The game got off to a terrible start for Newberry as running back S.J. Worrell (Madison, Ga.) was rocked and fumbled the ball. Austin Peay’s Kit Hartsfield (Murfreesboro, Tenn.) scooped up the ball at the Newberry 24 and went untouched into the endzone, giving the Governors a very early 7-0 lead. Newberry drove down the field on the next drive, taking 6:29 off the clock on a 13-play, 70-yard drive, but could not find the endzone. Britt Blackmon (Kershaw, S.C.) connected from 27 yards out for his second field goal of the season and cut the deficit to 7-3. However, Newberry felt the score should have been tied on an apparent touchdown pass from Gantt to Kelton Tindal (Sumter, S.C.), but the senior signal-caller was called for stepping over the line of scrimmage before releasing the pass. Austin Peay’s first offensive play of the season got the Govs inside the Newberry 10-yardline as Ryan White (Nashville, Tenn.) carried the ball 41 yards. But the War Party defense held after that, limiting Peay to a 20-yard Stephen Stansell (Athens, Tenn.) field goal and a 10-3 lead. APSU tacked onto the lead in the second quarter after a 9-play, 86-yard drive with Terrence Holt (Nashville, Tenn.) capping the drive with a 16-yard touchdown rush. Newberry seemed poised to respond after converting a fourth down on the way to the Governors’ 10-yardline, but Gantt was stood up on first-and-goal and fumbled on the secondary hit. Austin Peay’s Rocky Dee Peeler (Kingsport, Tenn.) fell on the ball before it rolled out of bounds to thwart the scoring threat. Peay tried to score again before the half, but Patton’s interception at the Newberry 12 stopped the drive and kept the halftime score at 17-3. The two sides traded punts to open the second half, although Newberry got to the APSU 15 before being forced back with a personal foul blocking penalty. Todd Moon’s punt on fourth-and-28 rolled out of bounds at the Peay 9-yardline. On the first play of the next drive, Joe Smith walloped Holt and forced a fumble that Reeder recovered. On the very next
September 5, 2009 Governors Stadium Clarksville, Tenn. Attendance: 5,800 play, Gerald Legree (St. Helena Island, S.C.) punched it into the endzone from 10 yards out to make it a 17-10 game. Penalties killed Newberry on the next drive. Patton appeared to have his second interception of the game on the drive’s first play, but the play was called back for a roughing the passer call. Two plays later, a facemask penalty put the Govs inside the Newberry 40. APSU continued to drive but was stopped at the Newberry 12 and had to settle for a 29-yard Stansell field goal and a 20-10 lead. After a Newberry punt, the scarlet and gray snuffed out a Governor drive at midfield when Parker intercepted a third down pass after it was batted in the air by Andre Moyd (Andrews, S.C.). It only took four plays for Newberry to convert the turnover into points on Legree’s second touchdown carry from eight yards out, bringing the scarlet and gray to within a field goal at 20-17. Newberry had Austin Peay stalled at third-and-4 to start the fourth quarter, but Holt took the carry 75 yards on the quarter’s opening play. A flag was thrown for an illegal formation against the Govs, but was waved off, making the play stand and the score 27-17. Gantt responded with one of the best drives of the night for Newberry, completing all eight of his passes on the way to the endzone on a 10-play, 81-yard drive. The defending SAC Offensive Player of the Week appeared to be sacked as four Governors attempted to drag him to the turf. Amazingly, Gantt spotted Pressley open in the flat, and the junior receiver caught the pass and held onto the ball through a hard hit at the goal line for the score. The PAT attempt failed, making it a 27-23 game. Austin Peay converted three third down attempts on the way to the endzone on the next drive. Trent Caffee (Aledo, Texas) found Darryl Miller (Oak Ridge, Tenn.) in the corner of the endzone from 25 yards out to put the Govs up 34-23 with 4:42 to play. Newberry drove deep into Governors territory on the following drive, but three consecutive incomplete passes inside the APSU 20-yardline killed the scoring chances and essentially ended Newberry’s chances at the win. Of Gantt’s 12 incompletions in the game, seven came in the final five minutes of the game. Austin Peay racked up 371 yards on the ground, with White netting 210 yards and Holt rushing for 152 yards. Newberry had the advantage in first downs (24 to 20) and total offense (449 to 462), but only converted on 4-of-7 chances in the red zone. The scarlet and gray were also penalized eight times for 66 yards.

NEWBERRY – The Newberry College football team moved to 2-1 on the season in the team’s 2009 home opener with a 20-3 victory over Cumberland (Tenn.) University. The win is head coach Todd Knight’s first win at Setzler Field. 4,162 fans saw the 20th-ranked team in the D2Football.com poll allow the visiting Bulldogs only 80 yards of total offense and six first downs in the win. It was the first time a Newberry squad held an opponent under 100 total yards of offense since holding North Greenville to 21 yards on September 8, 2001. The Bulldogs (1-2 overall) held the scarlet and gray off of the scoreboard in the opening half, but Newberry answered with a solid rushing attack in the second half and scored three touchdowns to earn the home win. The Newberry running backs were the offensive highlight of the game, accounting for all three of the hosts’ touchdowns. Preseason second team all-SAC member Gerald Legree (St. Helena Island, S.C.) carried the ball 15 times for 92 yards and a touchdown to lead the way. Alkeem Sherman (Conway, S.C.) had 12 carries for 46 yards and a touchdown and S.J. Worrell (Madison, Ga.) carried the ball five times for 35 yards and a score. Starting quarterback Brandon Gantt (Lexington, S.C.) was 11-of-22 through the air for 77 yards with an interception, and backup quarterback Bryan Ehrlich (San Antonio, Texas) was 6-of-7 for 81 yards in his first collegiate action. David Smith (Union, S.C.) was the leading receiver with five catches for 63 yards. All told, the Newberry offense amassed 380 yards of total offense. Defensively, Xavier Wallace (Kingstree, S.C.) had six solo tackles with 2.0 tackles for a loss. Andre Moyd (Andrews, S.C.) and Ron Parker (St. Helena Island, S.C.) each had six total tackles, with Parker also forcing a fumble. Andrew Koszela (Knoxville, Tenn.) had five total tackles and a quarterback hurry. As a whole, the defense recorded 10 tackles for loss with Matthew Kingdom (Summerville, S.C.) notching a sack.
September 19, 2009 Setzler Field Newberry Attendance: 5,800 a 41-yard field goal by Nick Sasser (Brunswick, Ga.), giving the Bulldogs a 3-0 lead. Newberry had an opportunity to tie the game with 2:25 left in the half, but a 34-yard field goal attempt by Britt Blackmon (Kershaw, S.C.) went wide left. Todd Moon (Anderson, S.C.) excelled on special teams in the opening half, punting three times, with all of them landing inside the Bulldogs’ 10-yardline. Trailing at the half for the third straight game, Newberry went on a methodical drive coming out of the break, chewing up 45 yards in 15 plays. Nick Kinney (Goose Creek, S.C.) got his chance to kick and tie the game from 32 yards out, but was also wide left, leaving the game at 3-0. Sep19-Cumberland-covers.indd 1

After Newberry forced the Bulldogs to go three-and-out on their next series, Newberry got possession at its own 45yardline. It took eight plays - all rushes - to find paydirt, as Legree’s 12-yard touchdown carry put Newberry up, 7-3, after the Blackmon PAT. Another three-and-out setup a quick Newberry score, as Antonio Patton (Woodruff, S.C.) returned the punt to the CU 26, and Newberry ran the ball three times on the next drive, with Worrell’s 13-yard touchdown carry up the middle putting the hosts up, 13-3, after the Blackmon PAT attempt was blocked. The scoring was completed in the fourth quarter, as Ehrlich led the offense down the field on a 9-play, 47-yard drive that was capped by Sherman’s 2-yard touchdown carry on fourth-and-goal. Nick Toole (Barnwell, S.C.) made his first collegiate kick on the PAT attempt, making it a 20-3 score.
Both offenses struggled to get going in the opening quarter, with Newberry possessions ending on a punt, a fumble and a failed fourth down conversion attempt. Cumberland held the ball for 9:05 in the first quarter and the teams combined for only 92 yards of offense. Cumberland had possession in Newberry territory to start the second quarter and capped a nine-play, 36-yard drive with

20 23
JEFFERSON CITY, Tenn. – The 16th-ranked Newberry College football team came back from an early 17 point deficit, but two late Eagle field goals gave Carson-Newman a 23-20 victory to open the South Atlantic Conference season. Newberry (2-2, 0-1 SAC) rattled off 20 straight points, but poor ball security in a constant driving rain doomed the scarlet and gray in a gutsy effort. The two teams fumbled the ball 16 times, with Newberry losing the ball five times via the fumble and Carson-Newman (3-2, 1-0 SAC) turning it over four times on the turf. Josh Williams (Duncan, S.C.) put together a career day on the defensive side of the ball. The senior linebacker made an astounding 17 tackles, forced a fumble and recovered another. Ron Parker (St. Helena Island, S.C.) continued his excellent season with nine tackles and a pass breakup, while preseason all-SAC pick Lance Clark (Florence, S.C.) made nine tackles, including one for a loss, and notched a quarterback hurry. Offensively, senior quarterback Brandon Gantt (Lexington, S.C.) once again led the way, completing 14-of-33 passes for 275 yards and two touchdowns. Gantt has now passed for 1,020 yards this season and 2,412 yards in his career. Kelton Tindal (Sumter, S.C.) was the leading receiver with four catches for 103 yards and a touchdown, while David Brown (Goose Creek, S.C.) had four catches for 56 yards. Brandon Bostick (Florence, S.C.) caught three passes for 63 yards and a score and David Smith (Union, S.C.) had three catches for 53 yards. S.J. Worrell (Madison, Ga.) was the leading rusher for Newberry with 11 carries for 37 yards, while Gantt carried the ball seven times for 21 yards and a touchdown. Carson-Newman was led by senior quarterback Alex Good, who rushed 25 times for 203 yards and a touchdown and completed 2-of-6 passes for 11 yards and a touchdown. It was the second consecutive season Good rushed for over 200 yards against Newberry. Carlos Lopez broke the stereotype of poor Carson-Newman kicking by single-footedly winning the game, going 3-for-3 on field goal attempts, connecting from 23, 27 and 35 yards out. Defensively for the Eagles, it was the Mario Russell show as the senior safety tied the Division II record with four forced fumbles, made eight tackles and broke up five passes. No other Eagle had more than four tackles, but Russell’s performance made up for it. Both sides had trouble adjusting to the torrential rain in the early going, as neither team could generate a score until Lopez’ field goal from 23 yards out on the first play of the second quarter. After the field goal, Newberry fumbled the ball on its own 35-yardline and Carson-Newman converted that turnover into a touchdown in just three plays to take a 10-lead with 13:00 left until the half. The fumble bug hit both teams following the score, as the teams traded possessions on three fumbles over the course of seven plays. Carson-Newman recovered the last of those fumbles at the Newberry 35 and took six plays to punch it into the endzone for a 17-0 lead.
September 26, 2009 Burke-Tarr Stadium Jefferson City, Tenn. Attendance: 3,485 The Newberry offense continued to scuffle until the last four minutes of the half, but answered quickly after Andre Moyd (Andrews, S.C.) recovered a fumble forced by Marcus Nelums (Columbia, S.C.) at the Newberry 30 with 3:24 left in the half. Back-to-back 7-yard carries by Gerald Legree (St. Helena Island, S.C.) and Alkeem Sherman (Conway, S.C.) gave Newberry a first down for the first time in the game with about two and a half minutes left. The second first down came in quick succession as Gantt connected with Tindal for a 56 yard touchdown pass to cut the C-N lead to 17-7 with 2:11 remaining in the half. It was the first time Newberry scored in the second quarter this season, and gave the scarlet and gray momentum as they received the kickoff to open the second half. The offensive efficiency was much tighter for Newberry in the third quarter, with the scarlet and gray taking the opening drive 79 yards in eight plays to cut the lead to 17-14. Gantt hooked up with Bostick for a 38-yard touchdown on third-and-27 after an apparent touchdown was wiped out for offensive pass interference on the previous play. Just two plays later, Newberry found itself on the move again, as Derrell Kinard (Boiling Springs, S.C.) recovered a Ricky Harris fumble. After a 38-yard completion from Gantt to Tindal put Newberry in the Eagles’ red zone, the guests kept the ball on the ground and took the lead on a 1-yard quarterback keeper touchdown by Gantt. The PAT was missed to make it a 20-17 Newberry lead. Good was the catalyst for the next drive, but Newberry buckled down inside the red zone, limiting C-N to a Lopez field goal that tied the game at 20-all. After Newberry went three-and-out on the next drive, the Eagles drove deep into NC territory, but the War Party defense kept the hosts off the board, stopping Good on fourth down at the Newberry 9. Newberry moved the ball well to get out from the shadow of its own goalpost, but Russell’s fourth forced fumble was the biggest, as Carson-Newman was able to recover David Smith’s fumble at the NC 32. As Carson-Newman drove into Newberry red zone again, the Eagles fumbled the balls on back-to-back plays with Good coming out of the pile with the ball both times. Lopez was forced into the toughest kick of the day, but drilled the 35-yarder with 37 seconds to play to put Carson-Newman up, 23-20.

2009 RECAPS NEWBERRY at No. 21 CATAWBA
40 21
SAILSBURY, N.C. – The Newberry College football team spoiled Homecoming for Catawba College on Saturday, rolling up 545 yards of offense - including 329 yards on the ground - in a 40-21 win. Newberry moves to 3-2 overall and 1-1 in South Atlantic Conference play, while Catawba drops to 3-2 and 0-2 in the SAC. Senior running back S.J. Worrell (Madison, Ga.) rushed 19 times for 237 yards and two touchdowns, averaging 12.5 yards per carry. Worrell earned the second-most rushing yards in a single game in Newberry history on the day, behind only Alex Haynes’ 255 yards against Bowie State in 2007. As a team, Newberry rushed for 329 yards, marking the first time the team had rushed for over 300 yards since that same Bowie State game, which was also the last time NC had over 500 yards of total offense. Senior quarterback Brandon Gantt (Lexington, S.C.) also had an outstanding day, completing 21-of-35 passes for 211 yards with two touchdowns and two interceptions, while also carrying the ball 11 times for 35 yards and two touchdowns. Brandon Bostick (Florence, S.C.) was the leading receiver with six catches for 104 yards and a touchdown. Defensively, Newberry sacked Catawba quarterback Cam Sexton seven times and allowed only 176 yards of offense. Andre Moyd (Andrews, S.C.) led the way with seven tackles including 3.0 tackles for loss, 2.0 sacks, a forced fumble and a fumble recovery. Ron Parker (St. Helena Island, S.C.) notched six tackles, while Brandon McCall (Sumter, S.C.) made three tackles - all of them for a loss. Apollo Stretch (Columbia, S.C.) also made his first career interception. Sexton (Laurinburg, N.C.) was only 8-of-25 through the air for 122 yards and an interception. Antonio Hall (Greensboro, N.C.) carried the ball 12 times for 46 yards and a score and Josh Wright (Raeford, N.C.) also had a rushing touchdown. Lakeem Perry (Louisburg, N.C.) led Catawba with 11 tackles and a forced fumble, while Melquan Fair (Raleigh, N.C.) had a 46 yard fumble recovery for a touchdown late in the fourth quarter. Newberry received the kickoff to start the game and a return to the Catawba 44-yardline by Kelton Tindal (Sumter, S.C.) set Newberry up in great position. It took the scarlet and gray 10 plays and 3:19 to traverse that 44 yards, with Gantt’s 5-yard carry for a score giving the guests a 7-0 lead after a Nick Toole (Barnwell, S.C.) PAT. Catawba responded with a 5-play, 60-yard drive that tied the game at 7-all after Hall’s 4-yard touchdown plunge. The drive was aided by a 22-yard pass play and a pass interference penalty by Newberry. After the teams traded punts, Newberry drove into the Catawba red zone, but that drive lost two yards and Toole’s 39-yard field goal attempt was wide left. However, Stretch intercepted a Sexton pass on the first play of the next drive to set Newberry up for a score on an 11-yard pass from Gantt to David Smith (Union, S.C.) on the first play of the second quarter for a 14-7 Newberry lead after the PAT by Britt Blackmon (Kershaw, S.C.). Newberry forced a three-and-out on the next drive and then pounded its way to the Catawba 29 before Bryant Vennable (Gretna, Va.) intercepted a Gantt pass at the Catawba 10 on fourth down. The hosts were forced to punt again and the trio
October 3, 2009 Shuford Stadium Salisbury, N.C. Attendance: 3,218 of Gantt, Bostick and Worrell led the scarlet and gray to a score on the ensuing drive. A 15-yard pass to Bostick was followed by a 37-yard rush by Worrell down to the Catawba 18. After a loss of one and an incompletion, Gantt found Bostick open on the sideline, and the sophomore bowled over Catawba defenders and found the end zone with 3:49 left before the half, giving Newberry a 21-7 lead. Catawba’s offense moved the ball into Newberry territory on the next drive, but stalled at the NC 35. On fourth-and-18 for the hosts, Andre Clark (Rock Hill, S.C.) made a huge sack to give Newberry the ball at its own 45 with about a minute and a half left in the period. Three plays later, Newberry found the end zone, with Worrell rushing for 22 yards on the first play. Gantt connected with Bostick on a 26-yard completion to the Catawba 7-yardline before taking care of the scoring himself on a run into the endzone that made it a 28-7 game at the halftime break. A pair of special teams mistakes early in the third quarter let Catawba narrow the lead to two scores. After Newberry held Catawba to a three-and-out on the opening drive of the half, a block in the back penalty forced Newberry start the drive at its own 11. After Newberry’s three-and-out, Jaspen Gray (Advance, N.C.) blocked the Todd Moon (Anderson, S.C.) punt and James Collins (East Islip, N.Y.) recovered the ball at the Newberry 2. The blocked punt was the first one Newberry had allowed since the Wingate game of the 2006 season, a span of 33 games. Wright punched the ball into the endzone on the next play to cut the lead to 28-14. Catawba’s Calvin Hall (Concord, N.C.) intercepted a Gantt pass near midfield on the next drive and Catawba started to drive down the field, but Moyd avoided the offensive line on second-and-5 at the Newberry 36 and put a monstrous hit on Sexton that forced a fumble, which Moyd recovered himself. The two sides traded punts after that momentum breaker and Newberry distanced itself on the first play of a drive, with Worrell breaking multiple tackles on the way to a 61-yard touchdown scamper on the first play of the drive. The play stands as the longest Newberry play of the season, and Newberry had a 34-14 lead after the missed PAT. Worrell added his second touchdown of the game with 7:04 left in the fourth quarter from one yard out after the drive started at the Newberry 7-yardline. Worrell got Newberry out of the shadow of its own endzone with a 46-yard carry early in the drive.

2009 RECAPS MARS HILL at NEWBERRY
34 28
NEWBERRY – The Newberry College football team lost to Mars Hill College, 34-28, on Homecoming night at Setzler Field. Mars Hill jumps to 4-2 overall and 2-1 in the South Atlantic Conference, while Newberry falls to 3-3 overall and 1-2 in SAC play. Mars Hill outgained Newberry offensively, 398 yards to 300, and was a perfect 4-for-4 in the red zone with all four red zone score coming on touchdown carries by running back Jonas Randolph (Daleville, Ala.). Randolph carried the ball 40 times for 248 yards and four touchdowns to lead the Lions to victory. Starting quarterback Jon Richt (Watkinsville, Ga.) was 9-of-16 for 136 yards and an interception, with a 43-yard touchdown pass to Demetruis Smedley (Decatur, Ga.). For Newberry, quarterback Brandon Gantt (Lexington, S.C.) completed 21-of-34 passes for 209 yards with one touchdown and two interceptions. He also carried the ball 14 times for 28 yards and a touchdown. Kelton Tindal (Sumter, S.C.) caught five passes for 55 yards and a touchdown, while Brandon Bostick (Florence, S.C.) caught six passes for 64 yards and also had a 5-yard touchdown carry. Tharry Salley (Blackville, S.C.) also had a short touchdown carry. Defensively, Newberry’s Ron Parker (St. Helena Island, S.C.) flew to the ball, making 14 tackles and breaking up a pass. Kamaal McIlwain (Van Wyck, S.C.) had six tackles and blocked an extra point attempt in the first quarter. Mars Hill’s Keadran Pinckney (North, S.C) led the Lions with 10 tackles and a forced fumble, while Maurice Harris (Hendersonville, N.C.) had eight tackles, five of which came behind the line of scrimmage. Newberry got on the board first, thanks to methodical running, a pass interference penalty and a 14-yard completion from Gantt to Tindal that put the scarlet and gray at the Mars Hill 1. Gantt’s 1-yard plunge put Newberry up, 7-0, with 4:55 left in the opening period after an extra point by Britt Blackmon (Kershaw, S.C.). Mars Hill answered with a touchdown drive of its own, spurred on by a 44-yard Randolph carry that put the Lions at the Newberry 7. The sophomore was rewarded with another carry, which he punched into the endzone to make it 7-6. McIlwain blocked the extra point attempt and tried to run it back for two points, but made it near midfield before being pushed out of bounds. The Randolph train kept rolling into the second quarter, but the Mars Hill drive stalled at the Newberry 31. On 4th-and-14, Richt went for the endzone and cornerback Antonio Patton (Woodruff, S.C.) was called for pass interference after tripping into the receiver. Four carries later, Randolph found the endzone and gave the guests a 13-7 lead. Newberry marched down the field on the ensuing drive and reclaimed the lead at 14-13 on a 5-yard TD carry by Bostick. Newberry got the ball back with 38 seconds left in the half and a 34-yard pss from Gantt to Bostick on the first play put Newberry in Mars Hill territory. However, the drive ended empty with an interception in the endzone as time expired, leaving the score at 14-7 at the half. Mars Hill burst out of the gates on the first drive of the second half, taking the lead on a 43-yard touchdown pass from
October 10, 2009 Setzler Field Newberry Attendance: 4,777 Richt to Smedley on the third play of the third quarter to go ahead, 2014. Newberry responded with a 13 play, 66 yard drive that benefitted from a spectacular 31-yard reception by David Smith (Union, S.C.) on a 3rd-and-30 play. Mars Hill intercepted a Gantt pass in the endzone a few plays later, but the turnover was nullified by a pass interference penalty on the Lions. With the ball placed at the 2-yardline, Salley punched the ball in for the score, putting Newberry back up by one point at 21-20. However, Randolph spurred the Lions’ offense on the following drive that was capped by a 17-yard touchdown carry to put MHC back up, 27-21 Darin Baldwin (Florida City, Fla.) made a game-changing play on the third play of the next drive to break serve. Baldwin intercepted a Gantt pass on the sideline at the Mars Hill 44 with 2:17 left in the period. Newberry forced a three-and-out, but the MHC drive stayed alive after a roughing the kicker penalty on fourth down. The drive rolled into the fourth quarter, and Randolph’s fouth touchdown carry of the night put Mars Hill up, 34-21 with 14:28 left in the game. Newberry went three-and-out on the next drive and Patton intercepted Richt at the Newberry 16 on the next drive to give the scarlet and gray new life. Gantt completed three short passes to get to the NC 48, and a 27-yard Gantt carry followed quickly by a 25-yard Gantt-to-Tindal touchdown pass brought Newberry back to within one score at 34-28 with six minutes left to play. But the Mars Hill offense held on to the ball for the rest of the game to drain the clock and win the game. Two Randolph carries gave the Lions a first down, but a Richt third down incompletion and an MHC false start penalty put the guests in punt formation at their own 42. But one of the boldest moves in recent memory kept the Lions’ drive on the move as Josh Crumpton (Pickens, S.C.) carried the ball 23 yards on a fake punt on 4th-and-14. Crumpton’s only previous touch of the ball this season had been a 2-yard touchdown catch against Carson-Newman. Another fourth down conversion later in the drive allowed Mars Hill to hold onto the ball until the end of the game. The loss was only Newberry’s second at Setzler Field since installing the artificial surface prior to the 2006 season. Mars Hill becomes the first SAC team to beat Newberry on the turf.

2009 RECAPS NEWBERRY at WINGATE
35 27
WINGATE, N.C. – The Newberry College football team had a solid all-around performance in a 35-27 road win over Wingate University at Irwin Belk Stadium on Saturday. With the win, Newberry moves to 4-3 overall and 2-2 in South Atlantic Conference action, while Wingate drops to 5-2 overall and 3-1 in SAC play. Senior quarterback Brandon Gantt (Lexington, S.C.) had a career-high 336 yards passing, with two receivers posting career days. Sophomore Brandon Bostick (Florence, S.C.) caught nine passes for 158 yards, and senior David Smith (Union, S.C.) had seven catches for 142 yards and a touchdown. It was the first time Newberry had two receivers over 100 yards in the same game since Tymere Zimmerman and Charles Brandon each eclipsed the century mark against Carson-Newman in 2005. Defensively, safety Ron Parker (St. Helena Island, S.C.) had two interceptions in the game, including a 54-yard touchdown return on what turned out to be the game-winning score in the fourth quarter. Apollo Stretch (Columbia, S.C.) was the team’s leading tackler with seven tackles, a sack, three pass breakups and a quarterback hurry. As a team, Newberry outgained Wingate, 448-312, with Wingate quarterback Cody Haffly completing 15-of-38 passes for 232 yards, three touchdowns and the two Parker interceptions. Both teams converted on all of their red zone opportunites, but Wingate won the turnover battle with four takeaways to Newberry’s three. Newberry received the opening kickoff and quickly got into scoring position after S.J. Worrell (Madison, Ga.) went 44 yards on the game’s opening play, with another nine yards tacked on for a face mask penalty. However, the drive stalled and Newberry had to settle for a 30-yard field goal from Britt Blackmon (Kershaw, S.C.) to take an early 3-0 lead. The Bulldogs took the lead on the ensuing drive after starting at the Newberry 48. A 25-yard pass from Haffly to Chris Bowden helped the drive along and Vince Jordan’s carry for three yards out gave Wingate a 7-3 lead with less than five minutes gone in the game. The two sides traded punts with Newberry pinned at its own 5-yardline following the kick from Phillip Hilliard. The scarlet and gray drove down the field with long completions to Smith and Bostick, but once again the drive fell short of the end zone. Blackmon made the score 7-6 following a career-long 42-yard field goal into the wind. After another Wingate punt, the hosts got the ball back after a fumble by Bostick at the Newberry 44. Just three plays later, Haffly found Perry Floyd for a 33-yard touchdown pass to extend the lead to 14-6. Newberry started the next drive at its own 35 and took only four plays to find paydirt, with Worrell’s carry from five yards out making it a 14-12 game. Alkeem Sherman (Conway, S.C.) scored the two-point conversion to tie the game at 14-all. Wingate reclaimed the lead on the next drive, with the surge capped by an 11-yard touchdown pass from Haffly to Floyd, making it a 21-14 scoreline, which would carry over into the halftime break. Parker intercepted a Haffly pass near midfield on Wingate’s second drive of the second half and Newberry converted two third-and-long chances before Gerald Legree (St. Helena Island, S.C.) punched it in from five yards out to tie the game at
October 17, 2009 Irwin Belk Stadium Wingate, N.C. Attendance: 3,872 21-all. Neither team could score again in the third quarter and two Newberry drives into Bulldog territory were killed by turnovers, but it was a big play by Antonio Patton (Woodruff, S.C.) that would help push things in Newberry’s favor. Patton fielded a punt at his own 11-yardline and made a weaving run all the way to the Wingate 16 - a gain of 77 yards 2009 - before a Bulldog could bring him to the turf.

A t h l e t i c E x c e l l e n c e Aw a rd w i n n e r s Parker extended that lead to 35-21 on the next drive, picking off Haffly’s pass at the Newberry 46 and sprinting untouched to the endzone for the score. Parker leads the team in both tackles and interceptions, having picked off five passes this season. Haffly led his troops down the field to the end zone on the next drive, completing the scoring on a 31-yard touchdown pass to Delric Ellington. Kamaal McIlwain (Van Wyck, S.C.) burst through the line on the PAT attempt though, and came away with a blocked kick for the second straight game. Wingate had one more chance to score and tie the game, but Jonathan Stone (Easley, S.C.) and Bruce Bagley (Winnsboro, S.C.) came away with back-to-back sacks to force Wingate to punt it away with 2:46 to play. Newberry kept the clock and the chains moving to end the game. The ground game produced three first downs to end the game on a winning note for Newberry. The win was Newberry’s fifth straight victory over the Bulldogs and ties the all-time series at 10-10. Gantt’s 336 yards is the ninth most in a single game in Newberry history, and the third time the senior has gone over the 300-yard mark in passing yardage this season. His 2009 campaign currently stands as the eighth best in school history with at least three games to play, sitting on 1,776 yards. Bostick’s 158 yards is the eighth-best receiving game in school history. Parker’s five interceptions in a season is tied for seventh best in the Newberry annals.

2009 RECAPS TUSCULUM at NEWBERRY
34 31
NEWBERRY – The Newberry College football team built up an 11-point halftime lead but visiting Tusculum College charged back to take a 34-31 victory from the scarlet and gray at Setzler Field on Saturday. With the loss, Newberry drops to 4-4 overall and 2-3 in South Atlantic Conference play. Tusculum jumps to 2-6 overall and 1-4 in SAC action. Newberry outgained the Pioneers, 404-341, but only gained 59 yards of offense in the second half. The hosts had 345 yards of total offense in the first half to TC’s 99, but big plays and a long drive by the Pioneers in the fourth quarter handed Newberry the loss. Individually, senior quarterback Brandon Gantt (Lexington, S.C.) accounted for four first half touchdowns with scoring rushes of 1, 2 and 1 yards and a 76-yard touchdown pass to Kelton Tindal (Sumter, S.C.). On the night, Gantt completed 15-of-28 passes for 220 yards and the touchdown pass to Tindal, but also threw three interceptions - all of which came in the second half. S.J. Worrell (Madison, Ga.) was the leading rusher for Newberry with 20 carries for 74 yards. Tindal had two receptions for 76 yards and a score, while David Smith (Union, S.C.) had six catches for 66 yards. Apollo Stretch (Columbia, S.C.) was the leading tackler with nine tackles - three of which totaled a loss of seven yards. Brandon McCall (Sumter, S.C.) recovered a TC fumble that led to a Newberry field goal. Britt Blackmon (Kershaw, S.C.) was a perfect 4-for-4 on PAT attempts and was 1-for-2 on field goal tries, missing a 34-yard attempt in the second quarter and connecting from 28 yards out in the third quarter for Newberry’s only score of the second half. The first half was a polar opposite from the second, with the Newberry offense starting out on fire. A 57-yard completion out of the backfield from Gantt to Worrell put Newberry at the Tusculum 16-yardline on only the second play of the game, and the first of Gantt’s three touchdown carries put Newberry up, 7-0, with less than four minutes gone in the game. Tusculum responded in kind with a 32-yard touchdown pass from Bo Cordell (Cincinnati, Ohio) to Nate Binder (Maidstone, Ontario, Canada) to complete a 7-play, 65-yard drive to tie the game at 7-all. Newberry scored again on its next drive, methodically chewing up yards on an 11-play, 57-yard drive that was capped by a Gantt 2-yard touchdown plunge to make it 14-7 in Newberry’s favor with 2:21 left in the first quarter. After forcing TC to punt, Gantt connected with Tindal for an explosive 76-yard touchdown on the first play of the second quarter to make it a 21-7 game. But the first of many scale-tipping plays came at the end of the next drive. Tusculum got one first down before being forced to punt. John Gregory (Ooltewah, Tenn.) blasted a 55-yard punt that Antonio Patton (Woodruff, S.C.) could not contain. He touched the ball in the field of play and it was recovered in the end zone by Hunter Adams (Middlesboro, Ky.) for a touchdown to narrow the margin to 21-14. The Newberry offense seemed unfazed by the mishap and once again drove into the Tusculum red zone, but Blackmon’s 34-yard field goal attempt missed just inches to the right to leave the score the same. After a Pioneer three-and-out, Newberry put together another long drive, trekking 81 yards on 14 plays over the course of six and a half minutes, with Gantt’s third touchdown of the evening putting Newberry ahead 28-14 with just 44 seconds until halftime. Tusculum answered quickly though, with two Cordell passes getting the Pioneers down to the Newberry 32 yard line. On fourth down, Gareth Rowlands (Wales, Great Britain) connected on a 49-yard field goal as time expired to make it 28-17 at the half.
October 24, 2009 Setzler Field Newberry Attendance: 3,098 From there, Tusculum used big plays to turn the tide in their favor. After a TC punt, Gantt was intercepted near midfield by Miles Washington (Concord, Calif.), who returned it to the Newberry 39. It only took one play for Cordell to connect with running back Marcus Foster for a 39-yard touchdown pass to cut it to 28-24. Newberry pulled away slightly in the third quarter after McCall’s fumble return into the TC red zone on a failed pitch attempt by Cordell. However, Newberry could only convert it into three points when Blackmon’s 28-yarder made it a 31-24 game. The teams traded punts as the game entered the fourth quarter, but a fake punt by the Pioneers helped tie the game as Gregory connected with Rashaad Carter (Stone Mountain, Ga.) for a 43-yard pass that put TC inside the Newberry 5. Cordell found Binder in the back of the end zone two plays later to tie the game at 31-all. Newberry went three-and-out on the next drive, setting up TC at its own 20 after a Todd Moon (Anderson, S.C.) punt. Newberry appeared poised to hold the Pioneers on third down, but Cordell found Deonte’ Gist (Wellford, S.C.) on a 56-yard completion that put the Pioneers on the Newberry 23. Newberry pushed Tusculum backwards, but Rowlands put the visitors ahead, 34-31, with a 44-yard field goal. The scarlet and gray defense found themselves back on the field quickly, after Antonio Johnson (Olive Branch, Miss.) picked off Gantt at the TC 26 when the quarterback had to launch away a pass under heavy pressure. Newberry once again drove the Pioneers backwards on the first two plays, but Foster busted a 40-yard rush on third-and-19 to keep the drive alive. From there, a 25-yard completion to Binder and six penalties kept the clock going and the ball in Tusculum’s hands. Rowlands connected on a field goal, but the points were taken off the board on a roughing the kicker penalty. Newberry did keep Tusculum from scoring though, getting the ball back at its own 3-yardline after the six minute drive. But it was the Pioneers’ Javon Forsett (Cedar Hill, Texas) who clinched the victory for Tusculum picking off Gantt on the next play to send TC home with its first SAC victory of the season. Cordell completed 16-of-28 passes for 240 yards with three touchdowns and no interceptions, while Foster was the leading rusher for Tusculum with 14 carries for 73 yards. Sam Broadwater (North Augusta, S.C.) and Jason Muehling (Calhoun, Ga.) tied for the team lead in tackles with seven apiece. The loss marks the first time Newberry has lost consecutive games at Setzler Field since back-to-back losses to Lenoir-Rhyne and Carson-Newman to start the SAC slate in 2005.

2009 RECAPS NEWBERRY at LENOIR-RHYNE

HICKORY, N.C. – A muddy field and rainy day could not dampen the spirit of the Newberry College football team as the scarlet and gray won the Bishops Trophy for the fourth straight season with a 24-21 victory over the Lenoir-Rhyne University Bears at Moretz Stadium on Saturday. With the win, Newberry moves to 5-4 overall and 3-3 in South Atlantic Conference play, while the Bears fall to 4-6 on the season with a 1-5 SAC record.

Senior receiver Kelton Tindal (Sumter, S.C.) sparked the NC comeback on the next touch of the ball as he returned the kickoff across midfield and the Newberry drive started at the L-R 33-yardline after a personal foul penalty. Just five plays later, Gantt scrambled 11 yards to paydirt to cut the margin to 21-10, a score that would carry into the half.

Gerald Legree (St. Helena Island, S.C.) led Newberry offensively with a career-high 153 yards rushing on 22 carries with a 73-yard touchdown carry in the fourth quarter. But it was the Newberry defense that sparked the win as the scarlet and gray held the Bears scoreless in the second half. Newberry scored 21 unanswered points and limited the Bears to 4 yards of total offense in the third quarter to earn the victory.
At the break, Lenoir-Rhyne had 212 yards of total offense, but the hosts would only record 48 yards in the rest of the game as the NewThe Newberry Game $3.00 THE BISHOP’S TROPHY berry ground game came to life. Newberry’s first score in the second www.lrbears.com half was set up by a 29-yard carry by Alkeem Sherman (Conway, S.C.) down to the L-R 3-yardline. Gantt punched it in from one yard out tot cut the lead to 21-16 after Blackmon’s PAT missed.
Senior quarterback Brandon Gantt (Lexington, S.C.) completed 12-of-24 passes for 145 yards, but scored two touchdowns on the ground with scoring plunges from 11 yards out and 1 yard out in the third quarter.
That score carried into the fourth quarter, but one big play gave Newberry the lead for good. After a Lenoir-Rhyne punt set Newberry up at its own 27-yardline, Legree found a gaping hole on the left side of the line and sprinted 73 yards for the touchdown. Gantt’s two-point conversion pass to David Pressley (Anderson, S.C.) put Newberry up 24-21.
Defensively, Ron Parker (St. Helena Island, S.C.) and Andrew Koszela (Knoxville, Tenn.) tied for the team lead in tackles with 10 apiece. The duo also accounted for both Newberry takeaways in the game with Parker snagging his SAC-leading sixth interception of the season and Koszela recovering a fumble that snuffed out an L-R drive in Newberry territory. Britt Blackmon (Kershaw, S.C.) opened the scoring on the first drive of the game as he capped a 12-play, 61-yard drive with a 23 yard field goal to give Newberry an early 3-0 lead. The Bears took the lead on their opening drive as James Pone’s 1-yard touchdown carry ended an 11-play, 71-yard drive. The lead was extended on L-R’s first drive of the second quarter when the Bears went 48 yards in 11 plays and took a 14-3 lead after a 1-yard touchdown carry by Jasper Thomas. Newberry went three-and-out on its next drive, but Koszela’s fumble recovery on the Newberry 34-yardline killed the Bears’ next drive. However, Legree was stripped of the ball just two plays later and Lenoir-Rhyne took eight plays to find the end zone and Justin Sanders’ 1-yard scoring carry gave the Bears the 21-3 lead.

From there, Newberry limited Lenoir-Rhyne to 31 yards and two first downs on its final three drives. An emphatic sack by Apollo Stretch (Columbia, S.C.) on the game’s final play sealed the victory and the celebrations in the mud ensued. The ground attack netted 153 yards on 27 carries in the second half to keep the drives alive and the ball moving down the field en route to the victory. The win is Newberry’s fourth straight and is the scarlet and gray’s 29th win in 75 meetings. The four-game winning streak in the series is the longest since a five-game streak from 1995 to 1999.

2009 RECAPS BREVARD at NEWBERRY
3 28
NEWBERRY – The Newberry College football team closed out the 2009 season with a 28-3 victory over visiting Brevard College at Setzler Field on Saturday. Newberry finishes the season at 6-4 overall and 4-3 in South Atlantic Conference play, while Brevard ends the year at 7-4 overall and 3-4 in the SAC. Brandon Gantt (Lexington, S.C.) closed out his stellar senior season by completing 13-of-23 passes for 173 yards and two touchdowns. David Smith (Union, S.C.) had four catches for 77 yards and a 10-yard touchdown in the second quarter, while David Brown (Goose Creek, S.C.) had four receptions for 67 yards and a 17-yard touchdown in the fourth quarter. Senior running back S.J. Worrell (Madison, Ga.) had 12 carries for 54 yards and a 16-yard touchdown in the fourth quarter, while Gerald Legree (St. Helena Island, S.C.) closed out his career with 13 carries for 84 yards. Gantt also carried the ball seven times for 58 yards and was not sacked. Defensively, senior captain Andre Moyd (Andrews, S.C.) got the scoring started in the second quarter when he returned a fumble 34 yards for a touchdown. Senior cornerback Antonio Patton (Woodruff, S.C.) tied for the team lead in tackles with seven stops including two for a loss, while junior safety Ron Parker (St. Helena Island, S.C.) had seven tackles with three for a loss and a forced fumble. Marcus Nelums (Columbia, S.C.) had a fumble recovery and Brian Spencer (Columbia, S.C.) picked off a Brevard pass in the end zone. Newberry has now defeated Brevard in all four meetings between the two schools and has not allowed a touchdown to the Tornados. The win and 6-4 record gives Newberry its fifth straight winning season, which is the longest stretch of winning seasons for the scarlet and gray since seven straight from 1953-1959 under head coach Harvey Kirkland. Head coach Todd Knight becomes the first Newberry head coach to have a winning season in his first campaign since Reed Charpia led the Indians to a 7-3 record in 1978. Gantt ends his career ranked fifth in Newberry history in career total offense with 4,384 yards. He is sixth in career passing yardage (3,616) and seventh in touchdown passes (20). Senior receiver Kelton Tindal (Sumter, S.C.) ended his career just two yards short of a milestone with 1,998 career receiving yards. Neither team was particularly effective in the opening quarter of play, with Newberry failing on a fourth-down conversion on the opening drive and fumbling at the Brevard 1-yardline. Newberry failed on fourth down again on its first possession of the second half before Moyd turned the tables. Brevard quarterback Michael Crumbaker and fullback Derek Church could not exchange the handoff and Moyd scooped up the fumble and sprinted to the end zone untouched to give Newberry the early 7-0 lead. Nelums recovered a fumble near midfield just three plays into the next drive, but Newberry could not convert the turnover into points. BC took the ball at its own 20 on the touchback from the punt and went 64 yards in 11 plays, putting its only points of the

On the next drive, Newberry only needed 1:40 to go 78 yards down the field in seven plays to paydirt. The scoring pass from Gantt-to-Smith was set up by a spectacular leaping catch by Smith at the BC 10 with 8 seconds remaining in the half. The scoring pass with 1.2 seconds remaining made it a 14-3 halftime lead. Brevard had the best drive of the third quarter, but Spencer’s interception in the corner of the end zone kept the Tornados off of the board after a 10-play drive. Newberry kept that momentum going into the fourth quarter and Gantt connected with Brown from 17 yards out to make it a 21-3 game. Worrell’s 16-yard touchdown carry with four minutes left capped the scoring and sealed the victory for the hosts.
Prior to the game, Newberry honored the careers of 23 seniors: Erik Barber (Prosperity, S.C.), David Brown (Goose Creek, S.C.), Jamell Gaines (Rock Hill, S.C.), Brandon Gantt (Lexington, S.C.), Kendall Glenn (Duncan, S.C.), Eric Goode (Chesnee, S.C.), Justin Greene (Irmo, S.C.), Alonzo Henry (Marietta, Ga.), Andrew Koszela (Knoxville, Tenn.), Gerald Legree (St. Helena Island, S.C.), Ryan McClain (Charleston, S.C.), James McLamore (Irmo, S.C.), Todd Moon (Anderson, S.C.), Andre Moyd (Andrews, S.C.), Marcus Nelums (Columbia, S.C.), Antonio Patton (Woodruff, S.C.), Hamilton Sims (Tucker, Ga.), David Smith (Union, S.C.), Bret Story (Cowpens, S.C.), Kelton Tindal (Sumter, S.C.), Nick Toole (Barnwell, S.C.), S.J.

Newberry Notes
• Newberry travels to Tennessee to try and snap a twogame losing streak against the Pioneers. • The last six years have produced either explosive offensive numbers or spectacular finishes, so expect nothing less from the 2010 edition of the game. • Newberry’s last two wins in the series came on turnover scoring plays with Derrell Mills’ spectacular strip and return for a touchdown in 2006 to keep the undefeated season alive and Andre Moyd’s 94-yard interception return for a touchdown in 2007.

Newberry Notes
• Newberry will look to snap a two-game losing streak against the Mars Hill Lions. • Newberry’s last road win in the series was a 37-0 shutout in the 2006 playoff season. • The scarlet and gray have not defeated the Lions in the “new” Meares Stadium, losing a 27-6 decision in 2008 in the first matchup between the two at the rebuilt Ammons Family Athletic Center.

• Both Newberry and Carson-Newman will hope for a less sloppy game than 2009, which saw the two sides combine for a South Atlantic Conference record 17 fumbles in a downpour. • Newberry has won the last two games played at Setzler Field and won a South Atlantic Conference championship in each of those seasons. • The winner of each of the last four Newberry vs. Carson-Newman games has gone on to be a South Atlantic Conference champion.

Newberry Notes
• This game - and all Brevard home games - will be played at Asheville High School after issues arose at Brevard Memorial which prevented the Tornados from playing in their hometown. • Newberry has played Brevard in all four seasons which the Tornados have been a Division II member. • In Newberry’s four wins over the Tornados, the scarlet and gray have not allowed Brevard to score a touchdown.

THE SOUTH ATLANTIC CONFERENCE HISTORY
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, N.C., 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, all-sports 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). 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. 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 10 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, Tenn.; Catawba College in Salisbury, N.C.; Lenoir-Rhyne University in Hickory, N.C.; Lincoln Memorial University in Harrogate, Tenn.; Mars Hill College in Mars Hill, N.C.; Newberry College in Newberry, S.C.; Tusculum College in Greeneville, Tenn.; and Wingate University in Wingate, N.C.

a Positive Game Environment
Is it Civil? Comfortable? Entertaining? 107
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 afďŹ rm that athletics events should reect 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.
