BOOSTER LEVELS

PETE YOUNG SCHOLARSHIP

FOUNDERS: One-time $5,000 gift you will receive an inaugural football jersey, a set of life time season passes, admission to the booster hospitality room at all home games.

Chandos “Pete” Young was not only one of the greatest football players to ever play for Bluefield College, but arguably one of the nation’s most prolific running backs of his time.

In an effort to promote and preserve that legacy, Bluefield College and the Young family established two permanent tributes to Pete Young during a Homecoming football game, Saturday, October 12, 2013.

During a pre-game ceremony before the Rams battled Belhaven University in a Homecoming Mid-South Conference contest, the children of Pete Young signed a scholarship document creating the Pete Young “Mr. Touchdown” Football Endowed Scholarship. With gifts from the family, the scholarship fund will provide vital financial assistance to BC football players, and as an endowed scholarship it will serve as a lasting tribute to Pete Young.

“The family’s seed gifts will be invested and will remain in perpetuity,” said BC’s Annette Tabor, associate vice president for advancement. “Only the earnings from the principal will be made available as scholarships, which means the original amount remains indefinitely, and annual scholarship gifts are given as a tribute to Pete Young forever.”

As a second permanent tribute to Pete Young, the college also unveiled a “#2” emblem to be worn on the helmet of the current BC football player who wears jersey #2.

COACHES: With your annual gift of $800.00 receive a booster shirt, two season passes, admission to the booster hospitality room at all home games.

LETTERMAN: With your annual gift of $500.00 receive a season pass and admission to the booster hospitality room at all home games.

RAM FAN: It takes support from all levels to make a team a success, so gifts of all sizes will lead to victory. Gifts from $25-$499. You will have the pride in knowing you are part of the Ram Team and making history supporting the return of Ram football. Join us in the hospitality room at all home games.

6 | 2014 BLUEFIELD COLLEGE FOOTBALL

Example Players The Rams’ football program is in its third varsity season, and now has many “example” players that Head Coach Ordell Walker can point to for leadership lessons, on and off the field--a detail that can help the Rams overcome their still youthful roster.

Scouting the Bears The Bears are led by interim head coach Allan Holland Jr., who stepped in after former head coach Dudley Hilton resigned for health reasons in early August. Holland is no stranger to the Bears though, with this being his fifth season with the program-previously as Associate Head Coach and Offensive Coordinator. Holland will still call the plays for the Bears.

UPike returns both its top rusher (Seth Millar, 789 yards) and receiver (Shawntez Johnson, 784 yards) from one year ago and looks to continue the dual-threat offense in 2014.

HEAD COACH ORDELL WALKER ORDELL WALKER HEAD FOOTBALL COACH TRINITY INTERNATIONAL ‘99 Ordell Walker is in his second year at the helm of the Rams’ football program, having been introduced as Bluefield College’s head coach on May 31, 2013.

Despite not tallying a victory in 2013, Walker laid important foundation pieces for his program, including introducing “Championship Play, Championship Lives,” which focuses on personal development.

The Rams battled through the year and showed improvements from the previous season. The team put together the program’s strongest offensive performance since its return, producing 533 yards of total offense at Bethel, including 381 yards on the ground.

Bluefield scored 35 points in a 10-point loss against Union (Ky.), posting the program’s highest point total since its return.

The Rams scored a pair of touchdowns in the second quarter to take the lead, but the Bulldogs closed the game outscoring BC 31-15 the rest of the way.

In the offseason, Walker and his coaching staff hit the recruiting trails hard and have brought in a talented group of newcomers for the 2014 season. Pairing a core of returners with new student-athletes, Walker and his staff look to continue to move the Rams football program forward.

Walker came to BC after serving at Greenville College (NCAA D-III) in Greenville, Ill., where he served on staff since 2003 and was head coach since 2010.

In his three years as head coach, Walker led the Panthers to a 22-9 record, the school’s first National Christian Collegiate Athletic Association (NCCAA) Victory Bowl championship and a pair of Upper Midwest Athletic Conference (UMAC) championships (2010, 2012). He was named UMAC Coach of the Year in 2010 and NCCAA Coach of the Year in 2012.

Walker’s leadership with Greenville began long before taking the head coach title, as he steadily worked his way up the coaching ladder. Walker served in roles such as position coach (2003-04), defensive coordinator (2005-10) and assistant head coach (2004-10).

In 2009, Walker’s defense led the UMAC in total defense, rushing defense, pass defense efficiency, interceptions, total takeaways, sacks and kick-off coverage. The squad posted a 7-3 record and made the program’s first-ever NCCAA Victory Bowl appearance.

As a position coach, Walker led three studentathletes to UMAC Defensive Player of the Year honors.

Others under Walker’s direction went on to lead the UMAC in multiple statistical categories, earn All-UMAC honors and hold Greenville career records.

Walker also raised Greenville’s offense to new heights, ranking No. 3 nationally in 2011, led by the No. 5 rushing offense in the country. In 2012, the rushing offense ranked No. 3 in the country at season’s end.

Walker led monumental steps for the program such as creating a junior varsity team, implementing a team leadership development plan and raising the team’s grade-point-average from 2.1 to 2.8 during his first full season as head coach.

A 1999 graduate of Trinity International University (NAIA), Walker began his career where he also played collegiately. He served as a defensive line coach in 1999 and 2002 at TIU, and worked as an assistant head coach and defensive coordinator at North Chicago High School for the 2000-01 seasons.

He and his wife, Beth, were married in 2001 and have two sons, Elijah and Levi.

COORDINATORS LAMAR BELL DEFENSIVE COORDINATOR HIGH POINT UNIVERSITY

Bell is a native of Brooklyn, New York, and earned his degree in sport management at High Point University.

Lamar Bell joined the Bluefield College football coaching staff in December after the 2013 season. He immediately assisted the program with recruiting, then worked with directly with players through spring practice.

Bell was originally planned to be the co-defensive coordinator with head coach Ordell Walker, but has earned sole possession of defensive coordinator duties for 2014. He also works as a position coach for cornerbacks.

In 2012, Bell served as a graduate assistant under Walker at Greenville College. He served in multiple roles with the Panthers once again in 2013, including recruiting and academic coordinator in addition to serving as a defensive backs coach.

AARON MINGO OFFENSIVE COORDINATOR GREENVILLE COLLEGE Aaron Mingo joined BC football during the summer of 2013 as the Rams’ new offensive coordinator.

In his first season as the BC play caller, Mingo helped the Rams increase their offensive production by more than 80 yards per game and score six more touchdowns compared to the team’s first year back on the gridiron.

Mingo remains as the Offensive Coordinator this season and also serves as the offensive line coach.

A native of Oregon, Mingo competed collegiately at Greenville College, then was on staff with the program in various rolls from 2009 until 2013. He held responsibilities such as assistant head football coach, recruiting coordinator, offensive line coach and JV head coach.

Mingo and his wife Ashley were married in 2010.

The team’s rushing output nearly doubled -- going from 1004 yards to 1917 yards -- serving as a vital part of the team’s point production. Marion Harris provided the program’s first 100and 200-yard rushing performances since the program’s return and the offense went for more than 500 total yards in its Oct. 5 game at Bethel.

APPALACHIAN WOMEN FIND HOPE AT BC

That’s all changing, thanks to the New Opportunity School for Women at Bluefield College, especially for seven aspiring women who graduated from the program this summer. These seven women are now ready to confront their circumstances, overcome their conditions, and pave the way for a new and better life.

Bluefield College announced the creation of its New Opportunity School for Women (NOSW) in January of 2013.

Founded by Jane B. Stephenson in 1987 at Berea College in Kentucky, out of an urgent need to help women in Appalachia become better educated and employed, the NOSW is designed to improve the educational, financial and personal circumstances of low-income, under-educated, middle-aged women in the Appalachian region.

The NOSW expanded to a second site at Lees-McCrae College in North Carolina in 2005, and then into the Appalachian regions of Virginia and West Virginia through theestablishment of the third location at Bluefield College. Nine ladies completed the BC program last year. Seven new women graduated this summer, celebrating not only an historic moment for the college, but also a milestone moment for a group of disadvantaged, yet determined women.

“Before coming to this program I had no idea of where to go in life, nor what to do or how to do it,” said NOSW 2014 graduate Tonya Scott of North Tazewell, Virginia, “but now I can honestly say I’ve gained direction for my life. I’ve learned so much about myself. I am confident, and I am beautiful.”

The seven Appalachian women, ages 30-55, completed a near-month of intense professional and personal development designed to prepare them for a new life and new opportunities.

They took part in a variety of career, educational and cultural improvement activities during the three-week residential program. With a sincere interest to learn and improve their lives, despite past failures and hardships and current difficult circumstances, the ladies spent 50 hours per week in workshops, classes, internships and study trips, all for the purpose of becoming more self-sufficient.

“This program has made me realize I am someone,” said JoAnna Mullins, who interned at Bluefield College as part of her NOSW experience. “Before I came here I wasn’t sure what I wanted to do with my life. Being here I’ve learned I’m interested in becoming either a professional photographer or CNA.” For professional development, the ladies attended workshops on computer basics, grammar, punctuation, and basic math. They also took part in seminars on leadership, career assessment, and public speaking.

14 | 2014 BLUEFIELD COLLEGE FOOTBALL

“This program gives women the chance to gain skills to better their life, to actually live instead of just survive,” said Jessica Blankenship, who interned at Saunders Staffing. “I have gained courage and confidence, and my self-esteem is higher than it was before.”

As part of the professional development, the women also completed a series of job skills courses where they learned how to develop a resume and write a cover letter. In addition, they participated in mock interviews and work internships at Bluefield College and in the community.

“Because of this school I am now more open, confident and aware of what I want in my life,” said Jennifer Lambert, a single mother of two. “I want to be a hairstylist.”

For personal development, the ladies examined women’s health issues, legal issues for women, and violence associated with women. They also attended seminars on fashion, beauty tips, and self-esteem. In fact, the personal development activities included makeovers, physical exams, health screenings, and individual private counseling sessions.

“I have learned to never give up on myself,” said Renee Hamilton, a single mother of four who said she hopes to someday be a counselor. “I want to go back to school to learn more, and I want to give back to those who helped me.”

Off campus, the New Opportunity School featured cultural development activities for the ladies, focusing on Appalachian literature, creative writing, art and quilting, and including trips to cultural sites around the region.

“I am so honored to be a part of this program and to have had the chance to meet these wonderful women,” said Casey Palmer, director of BC’s New Opportunity School. “Though each of their stories is very different, several qualities make up the patchwork of their sisterhood, including their humor, strength and compassion. These ladies truly care for each other and, most importantly, they have learned to care for themselves.”

Following the completion of the summer 2014 program, the women were honored during a graduation ceremony on the Bluefield College campus, where they received diplomas and were asked to give a speech reflecting upon their experiences in the NOSW. During the ceremony, Rev. David Taylor, BC’s vice president for development, spoke about how the college’s mission closely resembles the New Opportunity School mission.

BC ATHLETIC STAFF PETER DRYER ATHLETIC DIRECTOR CEDARVILLE UNIVERSITY Dryer stepping down as BC Athletic Director In early August, Peter Dryer announced his plans to step away from BC Athletics as he, his wife Kris and two children will take an opportunity to relocate closer to family.

Dryer has guided Bluefield College Athletics through the reemergence of a football program, conference changes, and an athletics re-visioning process that resulted in the development of the Ram EFFORT model, while also taking a men’s soccer program to new heights.

“We have grown significantly over the past few years – with many more student-athletes, coaches, and staff,” remarked Dryer on his time as Athletic Director. “The support from administration, the campus, and community has been excellent and I will miss them all very much.”

Dryer joined the BC family as head men’s soccer coach in 2010 and guided the Rams to four wins in his first season. The following spring, Dryer stepped into the Athletic Director role and maintained his head coaching duties as well.

He quickly led the men’s soccer program to a whole new level, doubling the wins output to a program-record eight in

2011. The Rams then posted eight wins in both 2012 and 2013, qualifying the team for Mid-South Conference postseason play both years.

“Stepping away from the soccer program was very difficult,” Dryer expressed. “I care about each of the players very much, and want the best for them as they continue.”

With the addition of football, Dryer guided the Rams athletic department to the Mid-South Conference for two seasons and, more recently, rejoined the Rams with the Appalachian Athletic Conference—a league BC helped establish in the 1990s.

“Beyond his professional contributions, Pete has been a friend to many in the campus community and an engaged community member,” remarked Bluefield College President Dr. David Olive.

“Pete was a constant encourager and inspiration,” continued Dr. Olive. “I cannot recall an occasion when there wasn’t a smile on Pete’s face when we greeted one another, and he always exhibited a positive attitude, even during times of great challenge or stress. We greatly appreciate Pete’s tremendous service and wish him well.”

Olive recently communicated that the advertisement of the AD position will continue, while head baseball coach and assistant athletic director Mike White has been appointed as interim Athletic Director.

White will take over day-to-day leadership of the department upon Dryer’s upcoming departure, while a leadership team will also be appointed to consult with White in the overall management and stewardship until an AD is named, according to Olive.

RAM REPORT MAKING THE HEADLINES Tennis Teams to Host Fall Tournaments: The Bluefield College tennis teams will open their fall schedules by hosting tournaments of their own. The men hit the courts Sept. 6-7, while the women do so one week later, Sept. 13-14. TBA Women’s Soccer Home Opener: The Bluefield College women’s soccer team opens its home schedule on SATURDAY at the East River Soccer Complex. They step directly into Appalachian Athletic Conference play, hosting Columbia College (S.C.) at 2 p.m.

Men’s Soccer Home Opener: The Bluefield College men’s soccer team opens the 2014 season on the road Friday at Liberty University. After two more games on the road, the Rams open their home slate against Concord University, Sept. 8 at 5 p.m. at the East River Soccer Complex.

Volleyball Home Opener: After opening its 2014 campaign with seven-straight games on the road, the Bluefield College volleyball team brings competition back to the Dome Gymnasium against Concord University, Sept. 11 at 7 p.m.

Yoder Looking to Grow Cross Country Program: First-year head men’s and women’s cross country coach Travis Yoder is looking to build the BC cross country program under his watch. Yoder competed intercollegiately at both Montreat College and Emmanuel College. Cross country begins its season on Sept. 13, with both programs competing in the Hyder-McMahill Invitational at Montreat.

Golf Team Looks to Build Momentum off ‘13-’14 Season: Secondyear head coach B.J. Bauer has brought together a quality group of incoming student-athletes for his program and aims for the team to qualify for the National Christian College Athletic Association National Tournament this fall.

Last season, Morgan Brewster was one of six individual at-large bids to the national event. In two rounds, Brewster carded the best scores of the at-large invites (75-76, 151) and finished T-36 in the field of 96 golfers.

Morgan, Mullins announce 2014-15 basketball schedules

While head men’s basketball coach Richard Morgan enters his sixth year with the program, Corey Mullins is entering his first season at the helm of the women’s program. However, despite the difference in their number of years at Bluefield, the 2014-15 season returns both coaches to a familiar position in the Appalachain Athletic Conference.

M o r g a n began his career at BC (2009-10) by going 17-16 overall and 11-5 in the AAC, claiming a regular-season co-championship and helping Omar “Juice” Reed to both conference Player of the Year and Defensive Player of the Year honors in addition to an NAIA All-American selection. In Morgan’s three years in the conference, the team posted a 27-19 record in league play.

Meanwhile, Mullins began his coaching career in the AAC as an assistant at Bryan College. During his four seasons with the Lady Lions, the program recorded more than 100 wins and made four-consecutive NAIA National Tournament appearances-including a trip to the Sweet 16 in 2006.

Both coaches are anticipating the upcoming season and look to build upon their past success in the AAC.

WOMEN’S SOCCER PITCHES IN WITH LOCAL “BLESSINGS” CHAPTER Working together for a common good is presented in the Ram EFFORT model with the “T” standing for Teamwork. A similar theme is also seen in the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics’ (NAIA) Champions of Character program, as one of its five core values is servant leadership.

During its preseason training, the Bluefield C o l l e g e w o m e n ’ s s o c c e r team took advantage of an opportunity to help out in the local community, displaying both teamwork and servant leadership as they partnered with Wendi Aiello and the local chapter of Blessings in a Backpack.

“Blessings in a Backpack is a national organization that allows you to set up local chapters to provide weekend meals to children who are at risk to have little to no food between lunch on Friday and Monday morning breakfast at school,” explained Aiello.

The Louisville, Ky., based organization started with just a pair of schools in 2005 and now serves over 66,000 students in nearly 650 schools spread throughout 45 states, according to its website.

“This is our third year in this community,” Aiello continued as she explained the local impact. “We’re currently helping 130 children in the area.”

The team met with Aiello and other volunteers one morning during preseason, helping unpack boxes upon boxes of food and then fill 600 bags with the assorted items—including goods such as soup, ravioli, macaroni and cheese, drinks, pop-tarts, and granola bars.

“I think it’s awesome for us as an organization,” said Aiello of getting the women’s soccer team involved, “because it certainly makes our lives easier with the deliveries.”

Aiello and volunteers gather once a month to fill bags that will be distributed over the following weekends.

“I also think it’s great because we try to have young people come in—younger kids, college kids—because I think it’s great for them to see that they can do things that impact the community,” continued Aiello in describing the assistance that the local chapter gets.

Senior defender Lyndsey Pelletteri reiterated the importance of the team pitching in in the community, saying “Since we’re a small campus, we have a good tie to the community, so any way we can help out, we’re more than happy to. Helping the community brings us together as a team too. We all have to work together in things like this and we all have to work together when we’re on the field.”

Those looking to donate to the local Blessings in Backpack chapter can do so in two ways, Aiello explained.

“They can donate financially. We work with Grant’s Supermarket in Green Valley, so we have an account there and we order everything from them,” remarked Aiello.

Anyone donating to the local chapter can also do so in complete confidence that the money will directly help feed children in the area.

“I think the best thing about Blessings in a Backpack is that all the overhead of the company is already funded,” Aiello explained. According to the organization’s website, its administrative costs and infrastructure are all funded by a combination of private corporations, foundations and businesses.

“So, every penny that people may donate to us comes to the Grant’s store, directly to our account,” she continued.

“If somebody donates $1,000, then $1,000 goes to the kids in our community. If they donate $10, then $10 comes back. That’s one thing I love about working with Blessings, is that nothing goes to overhead. It all comes right back to the community.”

Though the preferred way to donate is financially to the chapter’s account with the Green Valley Grant’s, nonperishable food items are also welcomed.

“It’s a great opportunity for the girls to make an impact on the local community,” said second year head women’s soccer coach Tom Price. “We’re actually helping put food in kids’ mouths and that’s just a huge blessing and opportunity for us to give back to the community. The girls’ attitudes are always so wonderful when they know that their service is going to a great cause. It’s great to partner with Blessings in a Backpack.”

A

GamE Plan FOR liFE

The Department of Athletics at Bluefield College seeks to develop Christian character and pursue athletic excellence through the RAM EFFORT model. As a complement to the academic side of the collegiate experience, our athletic programs provide the environment for character building to take place. The RAM EFFORT model demonstrates the intentional pursuit of Christ-centered and character driven athletics at Bluefield College.

“For physical training is of some value, but godliness has value for all things, holding promise for both the present life and the life to come.” 1 Timothy 4:8

E F F O R T

ENERGY

Sacrifice/Dedication/Passion “But as for you, be strong and do not give up, for your work will be rewarded.” 2 Chronicles 15:7 “Athletes want to learn and improve. They bring an enthusiasm for ‘continuous improvement’… they prepare hard every day. When success follows, athletes tell you it’s because of the effort they put into preparation.” Dr. Bruce Brown, NAIA

FAITH

Worship/Service/Community “Faith is the confidence that what we hope for will actually happen; it gives us assurance about things we cannot see.” Hebrews 11:1 “Faith is believing what we do not see. The reward of faith is to see what we believe.” Augustine

FOCUS

Discipline /Intelligence/Confidence “No discipline is enjoyable while it is happening—it's painful! But afterward there will be a peaceful harvest of right living for those who are trained in this way.” Hebrews 12:11 “Great athletes not only accept discipline, they embrace it for the benefit of the team.” Dr. Bruce Brown, NAIA

OWNERSHIP

Leadership/Responsibility/Initiative “Don't be misled—you cannot mock the justice of God. You will always harvest what you plant. Those who live only to satisfy their own sinful nature will harvest decay and death from that sinful nature. But those who live to please the Spirit will harvest everlasting life from the Spirit.” Galatians 6:7-8 “You can’t escape the responsibility of tomorrow by evading it today.” Abraham Lincoln

RESPECT

Humility/Attitude/Love “Treat others the same way you want them to treat you.” Luke 6:31 “A great leader needs to love and respect people, and he needs to be comfortable with himself and with the world. He also needs to be able to forgive himself and others. In other words, a leader needs grace.” Leo Hindery, Jr.

TEAMWORK

Family/Togetherness/Accountability “The body is a unit, though it is made up of many parts; and though all its parts are many, they form one body… As it is, we see that God has carefully placed each part of the body right where he wanted it.” 1 Corinthians 12:12, 18 “Put the needs of the team ahead of self. Never let your teammates down. Sports provide many individually satisfying memories, but for the true athlete nothing can compare with the memories built from being part of something bigger than yourself.”

Dr. Bruce Brown, NAIA
