Kenneth S. Salem Bishop McCort High School Principal September 2011 Dear Friends of Bishop McCort, It is with great enthusiasm that I welcome you to another exciting year of Bishop McCort Catholic High School athletics. The student-athletes and coaches continue the proud Crusher tradition that was forged nearly ninety years ago as Johnstown Catholic. You should know our parents, alumni, staff and students sincerely appreciate your attendance at our games and your good wishes throughout the school year. I am pleased to present to you the 2011 Fall Media Guide. This comprehensive guide highlights the Bishop McCort marching band and athletic teams that compete in the fall sports season. Our coaches and teachers expect our student-athletes to compete wholeheartedly—always reinforcing the school’s commitment to sportsmanship and fair play. As a guest of the school at interscholastic athletic events, always remember it is an expectation of all fans to be positive and courteous in the stands at all times. High school athletics is an extension of the classroom and should be respected by all who attend these amateur contests. I strongly encourage everyone in the McCort family to support our corporate sponsors and the advertisers in the Crusher Classifieds directory. Without the support of these sponsors and advertisers, it would be impossible for BMCHS to continue to offer exceptional extracurricular activities to our students. If you cannot attend a game, you can always follow McCort sports on Twitter. Log into www.twitter.com/crushersports to follow all of the action. You can also check out our new and improved website at www.mccort.org for the latest information and stories about all the great things happening at McCort. Thanks again for your support of our student-athletes and enjoy the contest! In support of Crusher athletics,

2011 MEDIA GUIDE
L E G E N D S AN D G R E AT S
Legen ds Section Bishop McCort Catholic High School has a rich tradition in athletics. Student-athletes, clergy, coaches, and volunteers have dedicated countless hours for the improvement of our sports program. The Legends section of the Media Guide recognizes a few outstanding individuals for their dedication and lasting contribution to McCort athletics. The commitment to Crusher athletics was established by our founders when the school was known as Johnstown Catholic. This example of service will be saluted in this section throughout the school year. Many legendary figures will be added in future additions of the media guide.
PAU L H O L L E R N
Paul Hollern’s legacy is rich, enduring, and memorable. In his forty-third year of teachTEACHER, ATHLETIC DIRECTOR & STATISTICIAN ing social studies at Bishop McCort, he was excited about his job, his students, and the people with whom he worked as when he began teaching. Serving under seven of Bishop McCort’s eleven principals, Paul was a historian and archivist of the school’s sports records and alumni achievements. He was a source of facts pertaining to the school and its graduates. Mr. Hollern would have had direct teacher/student contact with close to 7,000 students during the span of his career. The knowledge he imparted and the impression he made were lasting. Paul Hollern was honored by the Tribune-Democrat in the early seventies as Teacher of the Year and he also received official accolades for his geography instruction. In addition to his teaching responsibilities, Paul assumed the role of Director of Athletics and golf coach. In the mid-seventies, Paul became the head statistician for both the varsity football team and boys’ basketball team—taking over for long-time statistician Howdy Sherman. Paul Hollern was born on July 23, 1943 and he died on December 25, 2008. He was not only remembered for his countless hours serving the Bishop McCort Athletic Department, but also for his great love for St. Patrick’s Day and the celebrations that he orchestrated in his classroom. In 2004, Bishop McCort lost longtime faculty TEACHER, BASEBALL AND FOOTBALL COACH member, coach, and friend, Gene Schultz. Mr. Schultz taught a variety of science and health courses for 40 years at Bishop McCort. He was associated with every one of Bishop McCort’s principals during his time as student, teacher, and coach.
G E N E S C H U LT Z
Mr. Schultz was head baseball coach from 1967 to 1993 and a football coach for 40 years. During his time leading the Crushers baseball team, Coach Schultz accumulated 225 wins and earned the respect of countless young men that he worked with on a daily basis. His #24 still hangs in the hallway of the school as a tribute to one of the all-time great coaches of Catholic High. In 2011, the Bishop McCort Baseball Team created the Gene Schultz Memorial Baseball Tournament. This past season, the fourteam tournament played at Point Stadium, was won by the Crushers—who defeated Bishop Carroll in the Championship Game. As an assistant football coach for Bishop McCort, Coach Schultz remained with the team until his retirement from the school less than a year before his death. Schultz had worked with six McCort football players who later played professionally, including: Jack Ham, Pete Duranko, John Stofa, Steve Smear, Artrell Hawkins Jr., and Andrew Hawkins. Coach Schultz’s commitment to McCort athletics was uncompromising and has been an inspiration to decades of McCort athletes.

J AM E S R E I S E R , S R .
James L. Reiser, Sr. was a dedicated coach and dedicated Crusher. Jim played for FOOTBALL COACH Johnstown Catholic as a varsity tackle from 1931-1933. He was named to the Tribune’s All Star team, Cambria County all-star team, and later to the Bishop McCort Hall of Fame. After high school, he played one year for Kiski Prep and then for the Johnstown Collegians, a local semi-pro team, and the Windber Ex-High Team. He began his extensive coaching career at Johnstown Catholic in 1938. After 6 years as assistant coach, he served as head coach in 1945. His team’s play attracted record crowds with over 6,700 fans packing the Point Stadium for the McCort vs. Ferndale game that year. He had to give up the head coach position due to his regular employment, but he remained deeply involved with both the sport and the school that he loved all of his life. Fellow McCort Coach Joe Shumock gave Jim the nickname of “Knute” because of his strong resemblance to Knute Rockne, the late great coach of Notre Dame. During his 42 years of coaching, he was blessed to mentor many young men. Most notably, he coached Steve Smear, Jack Ham, and Pete Duranko when these football stars played for the Crushers. Together with Fran Zima, Gene Schultz, Jim Regula, and Tim Koshute, Jim led the McCort freshmen to capture their first Mountain Football Conference Championship during the 1977 season. In addition to coaching, Jim dedicated countless hours to building local athletic programs through the Johnstown Catholic Athletic Association. He was a football official and president of the Cambria County Chapter, PIAA Football Officials. He also dedicated much time raising funds for McCort athletic programs. Football was more than a game to Coach Reiser. It was a way of life and a means to foster the ideals of sportsmanship and teamwork in his young players. He especially enjoyed coaching the freshmen team and helping to mold players from multiple parochial teams into a cohesive high school squad. Jim coached his final season in 1981 and passed away on February 14, 1982 due to colon cancer. Jim is fondly remembered by his loving family and the many young men who were touched by his wisdom and guidance both on and off the field.
Howard “Howdy” Sherman was a memSTATISCIAN ber of Johnstown Catholic’s graduating class of 1938. Mr. Sherman has been a mainstay in the stands cheering for his Crusher football and basketball teams. He has been attending McCort games since he was 10 years old and except for his time spent in World War II, he hasn’t missed a single football game.
HOWARD “HOWDY” SHERMAN
In the early 1960’s, Mr. Sherman was the President of the Athletic Association, which at the time, was responsible for hiring and paying all Bishop McCort coaches. The Athletic Association was formed after World War II and was started by Msgr. Colley. Howdy was the Association’s third President. As the President of the Athletic Association, Mr. Sherman was responsible for soliciting local businesses to raise money for McCort Athletics. In 1961, Mr. Sherman took over as the head statistician for the boys’ varsity basketball team and kept the title until the mid-seventies when Paul Hollern took over the position. The position enabled Mr. Sherman to travel all over Western Pennsylvania with the team and see some of the greatest basketball teams that the Crushers assembled on the hardwood. According to Mr. Sherman’s son Tom, Howdy took the initiative and drove former Crusher great, Pete Duranko, to his initial visit to Notre Dame.
Good Luck to all members of the Crusher Nation And especially to the Class of 2012

P
ete Duranko, a fullback-defensive tackle at Johnstown Catholic (now Bishop McCort), was the first Crusher football player named to the Associated Press and UPI All-State Team as part of the 10-0 team in 1961. During his illustrious career at McCort, Duranko set career school records with 3,234 yards rushing, 3,412 combined rushing and receiving yards, and 49 touchdowns scored. Known as “The Diesel” around the halls of Catholic High, Duranko ranked twice in the top five in school history for rushing yards in a season, the only player in school history to accomplish such a feat. In his senior season, Pete rushed for 1,450 yards, which is third all-time and he is fifth all-time with 1,350 yards rushing in his junior season. Following graduation from McCort, Duranko went on to star at the University of Notre Dame and was a part of the Fighting Irish’s national championship team in 1966. Duranko then played eight seasons for the Denver Broncos in the National Football League. Duranko has been inducted into the Pennsylvania Sports Hall of Fame and was part of the Class of 1973 induction into the Cambria County Sports Hall of Fame. At a 2008 all-school assembly on the campus of Bishop McCort Catholic High School in the Guzzi Performing Arts Center, Bishop McCort’s Class of 1962 announced the dedication of the weight room in the Bach Wellness Center in the name of Pete Duranko. On July 8, 2011 Pete lost his battle with A.L.S. This season the Crusher Football Team will honor Pete by wearing a #11 sticker on the back of their helmets.
