TODAY’S GAME SENIOR DAY

With today being the Flames’ final home game of the 2019 season, Liberty will recognize 17 seniors prior to kickoff. The Flames are 11-2 on their last 13 Senior Days at Williams Stadium. This year’s senior class includes Solomon Ajayi, Elijah Benton, Stephen Calvert, Ethan Crawford, Rion Davis, Dontae Duff, Vincent Elefante, Zac Foutz, Antonio Gandy-Golden, Frankie Hickson, Sam Isaacson, Damian King, Jessie Lemonier, Devin Pearson, Aaron Peart, Brandon Tillmon, and Bejour Wilson.

STORYLINES

1) ) Liberty (6-5) wraps up the 2019 regular season by hosting fellow FBS independent squad New Mexico State (2-9) on Military Appreciation Day and Senior Day this afternoon. 2) Liberty needs a win today to become bowl eligible during its first season as a fully bowl-eligible FBS member. A victory gives the Flames their first 7-win season since 2014. 3) Earlier this season, the Flames posted a 20-13 victory at New Mexico State on Oct. 5. Liberty is looking to defeat the same team twice during a single season for the first time in program history and is aiming to improve to 3-1 versus the Aggies over the last two years. 4) Senior QB Stephen Calvert is one of two active FBS QBs with 11,000 career passing yards and owns a 25/5 TD to interception ratio this season. He has thrown for 3,000+ yards for the third straight season and needs 140 passing yards to break his own Liberty singleseason record of 3,363 yards set in 2017.

“4 DOWNS” WITH THE AGGIES

1) Liberty needs a victory this afternoon to achieve bowl eligibility for the first time. The Flames face a New Mexico State team coming off its first FBS win of the season, a 44-35 home triumph over UTEP last Saturday. 2) Flames QB Stephen Calvert threw two interceptions at Virginia last Saturday, snapping his string of 295 consecutive pass attempts without throwing a pick. During his three matchups with New Mexico State, Calvert is 65-of-116 passing for 692 yards with five TDs and three interceptions. Fellow senior Frankie Hickson has posted a pair of 100-yard games against the Aggies, totaling 66 carries for 343 yards and a score during the head-to-head series. 3) New Mexico State topped Utah State 26-20 in the 2017 Nova Home Loans Arizona Bowl, remaining unbeaten (3-0-1) all-time in bowl games. However, the Aggies have gone 5-18 since that bowl game triumph. 4) Playing at Williams Stadium for the first time since Oct. 19, Liberty has won four consecutive home games. The Flames are now 9-2 at home as an FBS member and are seeking their first five-game home winning streak since a run of six straight home wins spanning Sept. 5, 2015 through Sept. 10, 2016. Conversely, New Mexico State is looking to snap its 10-game road losing streak.

5) Senior WR Antonio Gandy-Golden ranks No. 2 in the nation with 1,304 receiving yards this season and is 76 yards away from setting a new Liberty single-season receiving record. 6) Senior RB Frankie Hickson has recorded a pair of 100-yard games against New Mexico State and is averaging 114.3 rushing yards per meeting with the Aggies. He needs 26 rushing yards to move into the Flames’ career top five rushing list.

WILLIAMS STADIUM CLEAR BAG POLICY CLEAR BAG POLICY:

In an effort to enhance fan safety and expedite entrance to Williams Stadium, Liberty University has implemented a security screening process. This process includes a clear bag policy that limits the size and types of bags that can be brought into the stadium by fans. The implementation of this measure is intended to enhance public safety while minimizing time spent searching bags at gate security checkpoints, thus easing access into the stadium. Liberty’s new clear bag policy fully went into effect for the Flames’ Sept. 24, 2016, game against Jacksonville State and will be enforced strictly during the 2019 football season.

The policy is consistent with the NFL’s current model. Only clear tote bags that do not exceed 12” x 6” x 12” or one-gallon plastic freezer bags will be allowed in Williams Stadium. In addition, small handheld clutch purses no larger than 4.5” x 6.5” will be permitted. Spectators will also be able to carry other items allowed into the stadium, such as binoculars, cameras, and smart phones.

ACCEPTABLE BAGS:

PLAYER FEATURE STORY 100 YARDS WITH STEPHEN CALVERT

Since his freshman year in 2016, Liberty starting quarterback Stephen Buckshot Calvert has been breaking school records and leading the Flames to victories. He set his first record as a sophomore, leading the Flames to a landmark win over Baylor with 447 passing yards. Since then, he has continued to eclipse his own records, leading Liberty during its FBS reclassification process and becoming the school’s all-time leader in career passing yards (11,586) and touchdowns (90). Being a valuable player for the program for the past four years, Flames Illustrated sat down with Calvert to talk with him about his career, senior season, and future aspirations.

What would you say is the main factor in why you and Antonio Gandy-Golden (AGG) have been such a dynamic duo?

“Definitely the bond we have off the field. We both recognize what we can do on the field, but since my freshman year, it’s been like a brotherhood, and we have a great connection. Anything is fun with that kid, and we enjoy hanging out with each other.”

What are some of your pregame traditions? “I always have music playing. We have it going pretty loud in the locker room, and we enjoy watching AGG dance. He’s my locker buddy, and he is always getting in his groove. I love just getting hype with my teammates.”

If you could have one practice with any NFL quarterback, who would it be? “Tom Brady — he has the most Super Bowl trophies and is really successful. He is a great quarterback and is somebody I would want to learn from.”

Since your freshman year, you’ve played in a lot of “firsts” for the Liberty Football program. Which one has been your favorite?

“I would say the Baylor win. It was a really exciting feeling and a blessed moment for me to be a part of for this university. It was just sad that we weren’t able to land back in Lynchburg after the game because all of the fans were waiting for us, but that was probably the most memorable moment for me.”

How has the hiring of Coach Freeze and his staff helped your game?

“It’s impacted my game a lot. Coach Freeze is a very smart, offensively minded coach. Coach [Kent] Austin, my quarterbacks coach, is brilliant at offensive schemes. At the beginning, it was harder when we were learning all of the plays, but once I figured out the playbook, it made it a lot easier.”

What are some of your aspirations after you graduate?

“Whatever I decide to do and wherever God leads me, I want to be able to provide for my family and be the best person I can be. I also want to guide as many people as I can to do what they want to do in life and to be happy. I would love to pursue football after college, but if not, I definitely want to do something that I can use my [Sport Management] degree in.”

By Kailey Bandara, Liberty Athletics Communications

Stephen Calvert

Who has been the greatest influence in your life?

“My dad — he’s always been there, side by side, with me. He’s always working to help me get better, even though he was never a coach of mine.”

How does having a potential bowl game opportunity impact the way you prepare for this game?

“It’s big time. That’s our main goal for the season, and knowing that we need one more win, it is humbling. But we still have to get after it and work hard to win today to make that happen.”

PROVIDING RIGOROUS ACADEMICS WITH A BIBLICAL WORLDVIEW

“The landscape of our campus has changed almost completely, but the mission never has. Neither has our character.” – President Falwell

EQUIPPING STUDENTS

Since 1971, Liberty University has become one of the world’s largest Christian universities and has produced over 250,000 alumni impacting their fields around the world. Today, Liberty remains committed to investing in the lives of students, helping them realize their full potential, and bringing glory to God. Liberty holds regional accreditation through the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges (SACSCOC)* to award associate, bachelor’s, master’s, specialist, and doctoral degrees. In addition to regional accreditation, many programs at Liberty have earned further accreditation through industry-specific organizations. These accrediting bodies maintain rigorous standards and only recognize educational programs that represent the highest levels of excellence in their specializations. In addition to outstanding residential programs, Liberty is a leader in online education.

20

COMMITMENT TO CHRISTIAN VALUES

Liberty’s unique character derives from its roots in the fundamentals of the Christian faith, as well as an abiding respect for this nation’s founding principles of limited government, individual liberty, and free enterprise. Our faculty members integrate biblical truth into every discipline while fostering a learning environment in which students are encouraged to excel. Liberty remains on the cutting edge of higher education, providing rigorous academics without compromising its commitment to Christian values.

*Contact the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges at 1866 Southern Lane, Decatur, Ga. 30033-4097 or call (404) 679-4500 for questions about the accreditation of Liberty University. Normal inquiries about the institution, such as admission requirements, financial aid, educational programs, etc., should be addressed directly to Liberty University.

PROVIDING RIGOROUS ACADEMICS WITH A BIBLICAL WORLDVIEW BUILT ON A SOLID FOUNDATION

Since its inception, Liberty University’s mission has been to provide a world-class educational experience with a solid Christian foundation, equipping men and women with the values, knowledge, and skills essential for success in every aspect of their lives. Students at Liberty are prepared for more than a career — they are prepared for life. As an accredited, evangelical liberal arts institution with 17 colleges and schools and more than 600 programs of study from the certificate to the doctoral level, Liberty offers educational opportunities for students at every stage of life to develop into leaders of vision and integrity. Liberty’s commitment to academic excellence is proven by its inclusion as a Doctoral University by the Carnegie Foundation. It is among only seven percent of schools in the country to receive this prestigious designation. The faculty at Liberty challenge students to think critically and creatively, and to become capable men and women of character who will make a positive impact in their communities and in the world. Service to others isn’t just a concept taught in Liberty classrooms; it’s a conviction our students and alumni live out every day.

President Falwell Bio

JERRY FALWELL

Jerry Falwell Jr. became president of Liberty University in May 2007 just after the passing of his father, Liberty’s founder, Rev. Jerry Falwell. In the years since he accepted the position, Liberty has seen substantial growth in enrollment, financial resources, and capital improvements. Falwell was born on Father’s Day, June 17, 1962, in Lynchburg, Va. He attended Liberty Christian Academy (formerly known as Lynchburg Christian Academy) and Liberty University, graduating in 1984 with a Bachelor of Arts in Religious Studies and History. He obtained his Juris Doctor from the University of Virginia School of Law and was licensed to practice law in 1987. Falwell married Becki Tilley of Chapel Hill, N.C., in 1987, and the couple has lived on their farm in Bedford County, Va., since then. They have three children — Jerry Falwell III (Trey), Charles Wesley, and Caroline Grace — and two grandchildren — Virginia Rose, daughter of Wesley and Laura, and Reagan Elise, daughter of Trey and Sarah. The president and Becki make themselves accessible to students and have worked to create a family atmosphere for students at Liberty.

Prior to becoming the university’s president, Falwell represented local clients and served as general counsel for Liberty and its related organizations. During those years, Falwell also became a commercial real estate developer, focusing on properties in the vicinity of Liberty University. His companies were highly successful in the recruitment of many national retail and restaurant chains to the area. Since Falwell became president of the university, enrollment has grown from 36,500 to more than 100,000 online and residential students. Liberty’s assets increased from approximately $100 million in 2007 to over $2.8 billion in 2018 as a result of increasing support from donors, responsible fiscal management, and unprecedented enrollment growth. In the past five years, the university’s revenue has increased from $860 million to over $1 billion. Liberty’s AA rating was reaffirmed by Standard & Poor’s Global Ratings in April 2019, yet the university has remained among the most affordable of all private universities and continues to award $230 million of institutional aid to its students each year. Falwell was instrumental in the NCAA approving Liberty’s waiver request to compete at the Football Bowl Subdivision level as an independent. Under Falwell’s leadership, Liberty has grown to become one of the largest Christian universities in the world. In addition to enhancing Liberty’s academic, athletic, and financial profiles, Falwell has played an active role in planning and construction. Liberty is presently in the midst of completing nearly $1.5 billion in new construction on campus that includes numerous state-of-the-art academic, residential, and athletic facilities. His goal for the university is to fulfill the original vision to provide a world-class educational experience and to Train Champions for Christ who are fully equipped for successful careers in every profession.

Ian McCaw Bio IAN MCCAW

Ian McCaw has a vision for Liberty Athletics, and he has worked quickly to make that vision a reality since being named the department’s 11th director of athletics on Nov. 28, 2016. His vision is for Liberty’s intercollegiate athletics program to Train Champions for Christ, provide a world-class student-athlete experience, and achieve victory with integrity. McCaw has lived out this mission, guiding Liberty Athletics to unparalleled success on the field, in the classroom, and in the local community in a short time on Liberty Mountain. Less than three months into his time at the head of the Athletics Department, McCaw helped launch Liberty into the top level of intercollegiate competition. On Feb. 16, 2017, Liberty received notification that the NCAA had approved its request to enter into a two-year Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) reclassification process. During Liberty’s final two seasons as a member of the Big South Conference, McCaw guided Liberty Athletics to its 13th and 14th Sasser Cup titles in 2017 and 2018, an annual award given to the top athletics program in the conference. McCaw also helped pave the way for the future of Liberty Athletics on May 17, 2018, when it was announced that 17 of the 20 NCAA Division I programs would end a 27-year run in the Big South Conference to join the ASUN Conference starting with the 2018-19 athletics season. Under McCaw’s leadership, Liberty Athletics wasted little time making an impact in the ASUN Conference. During its inaugural season, Liberty’s Athletics programs captured seven ASUN championship titles, including men’s basketball (regular season and tournament), baseball (tournament), women’s tennis (regular season), men’s indoor track & field,

women’s indoor track & field, men’s outdoor track & field, and women’s outdoor track & field. Additionally, Liberty Athletics was awarded the Bill Bibb Trophy, which is presented to the ASUN Conference institution with the top overall athletics program. The success of Liberty’s football program at the FBS level has garnered substantial attention. In 2018, Liberty finished with a 6-6 record, becoming the ninth team in NCAA history to win six or more games in its first year of FBS competition. McCaw is well equipped to lead Liberty into the future, having nearly two decades of previous service as director of athletics at Baylor (2003-16), Massachusetts (2002-03), and Northeastern (1997-2002). During his time at Baylor, the Bears experienced tremendous success on the field, in the classroom, and in fundraising and facility development. McCaw helped Baylor capture five team national championships, had 17 student-athletes win individual national championships (track & field and men’s and women’s tennis), and captured 58 Big 12 Conference titles. Prior to his days at Baylor, McCaw served as the director of athletics at the University of Massachusetts during the 2002-03 academic year and as director of intercollegiate athletics and campus recreation at Northeastern from 1997-2002. McCaw went to Northeastern from Tulane, where he served as senior associate athletic director for development and associate athletic director for external affairs from 1992-97. He was also Tulane’s co-interim director of athletics in 1996. Prior to his years at Tulane, McCaw worked in a variety of athletic administrative posts at the University of Maine from 1986-92, including sports information, marketing, and external affairs. McCaw earned his master’s degree in sport management from Massachusetts in 1987, after receiving a bachelor’s degree in sports administration at Laurentian University in Sudbury, Ontario, in 1985. McCaw and his wife, Heather, have four children: Christy, Paul, Callie, and Corinne.

E DUCATION: B.S., MATHEMATICS (SOUTHERN MISS, ’92)

HOM E TOW N: OXFORD, MISS. W IF E : JILL CH IL DRE N: RAGAN, JORDAN, AND MADISON The native of Oxford, Miss., returned to his hometown school and led it back to championship form during his five seasons as head coach of Ole Miss. Freeze guided the Rebels to bowl games in three of his five years with the team, including victories in the Music City Bowl (2013 season) and the Sugar Bowl (2015 season). Freeze’s time in Oxford was highlighted by a 10-3 campaign in 2015, the program’s first 10-win season since 2003. The Rebels won their first four games of the 2015 season, including a 43-37 road victory over No. 2 Alabama, Ole Miss’ first win in Tuscaloosa, Ala., since 1988.

HUGH FREEZE BIO Alabama went on to claim the national title, finishing the season with a 14-1 overall record. The Crimson Tide’s loss to Ole Miss marked the third time in program history that the Rebels were the national champion’s only loss of the season. The 2015 campaign also included a thrilling 38-27 win over No. 21 Mississippi State in its “Egg Bowl” rivalry game with the Bulldogs and a 48-20 win over No. 16 Oklahoma State in a New Year’s Six bowl game in the Jan. 1 Sugar Bowl contest. Ole Miss was ranked as high as No. 3 in the national polls in both 2014 and 2015 and finished top 10 in the country for the first time since 1969 after the Sugar Bowl win (No. 9 in the coaches poll and No. 10 in the Associated Press poll). Ole Miss was a mainstay in the national polls during Freeze’s tenure. The program was in the top 25 for 45 weeks over his five-year coaching stay and had a string of 27 straight weeks in the polls for the first time since 1962. In 2013, the Fellowship of Christian Athletes (FCA) awarded Freeze the Grant Teaff Coach of the Year award. Freeze has been heavily involved with FCA during his entire coaching career, has been featured in the FCA Magazine, and has spoken at FCA functions. Freeze was also a finalist for the 2014 Bear Bryant Award and the 2014 Dobb Trophy. The Bear Bryant Award is given annually to the top NCAA National Coach of the Year, while the Dobb Trophy honors the head coach whose team excels on the field, in the classroom, and in the community. Freeze has an eye for the nation’s most talented high school players, collecting four

34

nationally ranked recruiting classes at Ole Miss. In 2013 and 2016, his recruiting classes ranked in the top five nationally, making them the best in program history. Freeze and his staff developed 20 players who earned All-SEC honors, including All-Americans Cody Prewitt, Senquez Golson, Robert Nkemdiche, Laremy Tunsil, Evan Engram, Laquon Treadwell, and Trae Elston. Treadwell was Ole Miss’ first ever SEC Freshman of the Year in 2013 and became the school’s first Biletnikoff Award finalist in 2015. Nkemdiche was the first defensive lineman to be named a Hornung Award finalist. Engram won the Ozzie Newsome Award and the Pop Warner College Football Award following the 2016 season. Eleven Ole Miss players were selected in the NFL Draft during Freeze’s time as head coach, including first-rounder Engram, as well as D.J. Jones, Derrick Jones, and Chad Kelly. In 2016, the Rebels had three first round draft picks: Tunsil, Treadwell, and Nkemdiche. Donte Moncrief, Donte Golson, Fahn Cooper, and Cody Core were also drafted over the last four years. Before returning to Oxford, the former Ole Miss assistant experienced a record-setting run at Arkansas State. With Freeze as head coach in 2011, the Red Wolves captured the Sun Belt Conference championship and became just the third school in Sun Belt history to finish undefeated in league play with a perfect 8-0 mark. The 10-2 overall record marked the program’s first 10-win season since 1986, when ASU was a member of the I-AA Southland Conference.

HUGH FREEZE BIO In the best debut season ever by an A-State head coach, Freeze became just the 14th FBS first-year head coach to win 10 regular season games. He also returned ASU to a bowl game for the first time since 2005. Freeze was named Sun Belt Coach of the Year, while 13 of his pupils earned all-conference honors. Freeze’s first season in Jonesboro saw him serve as Arkansas State’s offensive coordinator, guiding the Red Wolves’ offense to a record-breaking year in 2010. ASU, ranked No. 42 in the nation in scoring offense, finished the season averaging 30 points a game and recorded at least 20 points in 11 consecutive games for the first time in school history. Freeze’s offense scored 46 touchdowns for the fourth-most in school history and the most since the 1975 season. Prior to his arrival at Arkansas State, Freeze compiled a 20-5 record over the 2008 and 2009 seasons at the helm of the Lambuth University Football program in Jackson, Tenn. Freeze was named the American Football Coaches Association’s Southeast Region Coach of the Year in 2009 after leading the Eagles to their best regular season in school history with an 11-0 record. Under Freeze’s direction, Lambuth won the Mid-South Conference West Division, advanced to the second round of the NAIA playoffs for the first time since 1999, finished the year with a 12-1 mark, and ascended to the No. 6 ranking in NAIA. The Mid-South Conference Coach of the Year oversaw the offense and called plays for a Lambuth team that averaged more than 40 points per game and ranked 9th nationally in total offense (465 ypg). The Eagles also ranked 1st in 4th-down conversions, 4th in 1st downs per game and 3rd-down conversions, 5th in passing, and 8th in scoring offense. Prior to taking over as head coach at Lambuth, Freeze served on the Ole Miss staff from 2005-07 and was an assistant coach for the final two seasons.

36

Before going to Ole Miss, Freeze served 13 years at Briarcrest Christian School (Memphis, Tenn.) as a classroom teacher, coach, and administrator. He was the Saints’ head football coach from 1995-2004, running the no-huddle “spread system” for 6 years that led to 6 straight state championship games. Freeze compiled a 99-23 record while at Briarcrest, which included an undefeated season in 1996, and led the school to state championship titles in 2002 and 2004. Briarcrest won regional titles in 1995, 1996, 1997, 1998, 2001, and 2002, and Freeze was named the Region 8-AA Coach of the Year 5 times and the Associated Press Coach of the Year 4 times. Among his talented pupils during that period were eventual Ole Miss Rebels and NFL starters Michael Oher and Greg Hardy. Before assuming the role of head coach at Briarcrest, Freeze served as the team’s offensive coordinator and defensive backs coach from 1992-94, as the Saints reached the TSSAA state semifinals twice. A 1988 graduate of Senatobia High School, Freeze received an associate degree from Northwest Mississippi Community College in 1990 and was a two-year letterwinner on the Ranger baseball team. He earned his bachelor’s degree in mathematics with a minor in coaching and sports administration from the University of Southern Mississippi in 1992. It was while attending USM that he became active in mission projects, serving as a missionary in Houston, Salt Lake City, St. Petersburg, Russia, and Australia. Freeze also served as the state president for the Mississippi Baptist Student Union. Born in Oxford and raised in Independence, Miss., Hugh and his wife, Jill, are the parents of three daughters: Ragan, Jordan, and Madison.

LIBERTY FOOTBALL CENTER

ABOUT

Opened in time for the start of the 2006 football season, this 48,000-square-foot building brought all operations for the football team under one roof for the first time in program history. Construction for the Liberty Football Center (LFC) was made possible because of a generous $4.5 million donation by the Art Williams Foundation, which has had a significant impact on Liberty University. The football stadium was named in honor of Arthur L. and Angela Williams, who have been major contributors to the university.

68

Shortly after the conclusion of the 2018 football season — Liberty’s first campaign at the FBS Level — a $25 million renovation project began on the LFC that is scheduled for completion in January 2020. The current renovation project will dramatically expand the footprint of the existing building, adding an additional 18,000 square feet to the facility to bring the building’s usable space to 65,455 square feet.

RENARD BROWN

BASEBALL: 1980-82

Renard Brown’s impact on Liberty’s record books still stands today despite his last steps on the diamond as a Flame coming nearly four decades ago. Brown finished his three-year career at Liberty with a .376 batting average, which ranks second in school history to fellow Liberty Athletics Hall of Famer Sid Bream. He also ranks inside the top 10 of several other career categories, including runs (eighth, 153), triples (third, 20), and walks (10th, 88). The native of Baltimore, Md., was an NAIA AllAmerica honorable mention selection in 1981 and helped the Flames advance to the NAIA World Series after winning the NAIA District 19 and Area 8 tournament events. As a senior in 1982, he led the Flames with a .409 batting average, 56 RBIs, and 67 hits.

JOHNNIE ENGELHARDT

MEN’S CROSS COUNTRY/TRACK & FIELD: 1982-84

Following a six-year stint serving our country in the United States Army, Johnnie Engelhardt came to Liberty, where he became the Flames’ first NCAA Division II men’s cross country All-American. Engelhardt individually placed 12th at the 1983 NCAA Division II Men’s Cross Country National Championship, which earned him All-American status. His finish helped Liberty place 10th as a team after the Flames captured the Division II South Regional title. En route to success at nationals, Engelhardt also helped Liberty claim the program’s first-ever MasonDixon Conference title in 1983 with his third-place showing at the championship event. The native of Willingboro, N.J., also found success in the distance events for the Flames Track & Field program. He earned NAIA All-America honors in the indoor two-mile run in 1983 and was named the MVP of the 1983 NAIA Indoor District 29 Championship.

STEVE ISAACS

MEN’S BASKETBALL: 1980-83 Liberty’s all-time career leader in rebounding, Steve Isaacs continually crashed the boards for the Flames to help him become the eighth men’s basketball player to join the Liberty Athletics Hall of Fame. Isaacs completed his stellar four-year career with 1,130 career rebounds and is one of only three players in program history with 1,000 career boards. He also ranks fifth in program history in points scored with 1,777 career points, while averaging 14.2 points per

game and 9.2 rebounds per contest for the Flames. The Flames posted a pair of 20-win seasons during his time at Liberty, including a 28-11 record during his freshman year, which ranks first in school history in wins in a season in the non-Division I era. Isaacs’ strong play as a freshman helped the Flames capture the 1980 NCCAA national championship.

MICKEY PAIGE

FOOTBALL: 1985-88

Mickey Paige, Liberty’s first NCAA Division I football All-American, set standards at Liberty that have only been matched by a fellow Liberty Athletics Hall of Famer. The Lynchburg, Va., native finished his four-year career as a Flame with 427 career tackles, which ranks second to 2012 Liberty Athletics Hall of Fame inductee John Sanders. The pair are the only two players in program history with 400 or more career tackles. Paige, a linebacker for the Flames, was a two-time All-American. He earned “Football Gazette” firstteam All-America status in 1987 and was named to the “Football Gazette” third team in 1988 during the Flames’ first year at the NCAA Division I level. Paige finished the last three years of his career posting 100 or more tackles per season. He set program records with 113 assisted tackles and four fumble recoveries in 1988 as a senior. His tackle total of 150 in 1987 still ranks second in school history, missing the program record, set in 1993, by one tackle.

SHARON [WILKERSON] EMORY

WOMEN’S BASKETBALL: 1997-2000

Sharon [Wilkerson] Emory is the second member of a key three-player group to be inducted into the Liberty Athletics Hall of Fame, helping establish women’s basketball as one of the most dominant programs in school history. Emory, along with her twin sister Sarah [Wilkerson] Erps and 2009 Liberty Athletics Hall of Famer Elena [Kisseleva] Bengds, helped turn a fledgling women’s basketball program that was 5-22 prior to their arrival into a team that won four straight Big South titles. The trio also led the team to the first four of the program’s 17 trips to the NCAA Women’s Basketball Tournament. The native of Princeton, W.Va., ranks fifth in program history, scoring 1,733 career points, and is the program’s all-time leader with 304 career steals. She also ranks second in career three-point field goals (172), three-point field goal percentage (36.3), and minutes played (3,712) and fourth in free throws (361) and free throw shooting percentage (77.3).

MILLITARY APPRECIATION DAY GAME LIBERTY FOOTBALL TO HONOR BEDFORD BOYS DURING MILITARY APPRECIATION DAY GAME On this day where the Liberty Football program recognizes all members of our military during its game against New Mexico State, the Flames will honor our “Bedford Boys” by wearing a special helmet commemorating the 75th Anniversary of the D-Day invasion. On the front bumper of the Flames’ helmet is a National D-Day Memorial logo. On the side of the helmet are decals with faces of the “Bedford Boys,” in memory of their sacrifice. The back of the helmet, which normally reads “Flames,” will read “Bedford Boys” in their honor.

declared dead during the first day of the invasion. Two more died during the rest of the Normandy campaign. It is said that the county of Bedford, with its seat the town of Bedford just 30 minutes from the campus of Liberty University, suffered the greatest loss per capita of any community during the D-Day invasion. The county had around 30,000 people in 1940. Of those, around 4,000 served in World War II. There were 52 men from Bedford County that took part in the invasion of Normandy. Of those, 41 died in the battles for France. Today, we honor the 21 men from just one company, the local National Guard unit, Co. A, 1/116, 29th Division. In 1987, Roanoke native and D-Day veteran J. Robert “Bob” Slaughter started garnering interest for a National D-Day Memorial, and in 1989, he and several others formed a committee to raise interest in constructing it. In 1994, the town of Bedford offered Slaughter’s D-Day Memorial Foundation 20 acres of land in view of the Blue Ridge Mountains as a location for the future site of the National D-Day Memorial. The foundation then hired an executive director, Richard B. Burrow, in 1996 and announced plans for a $12 million memorial and education center in the town of Bedford. On Veteran’s Day in 1997, construction began on the National D-Day Memorial in Bedford. President George W. Bush dedicated the memorial on June 6, 2001.

The “Bedford Boys” were men from Company A, 1st Battalion 116th Infantry 29th Division. They took part in the invasion of the Normandy Coast during Operation Overlord, commonly called D-Day (June 6, 1944) during World War II. There were 34 men from Bedford County with Co. A participating in the invasion, sixteen of which were killed, and three others were considered missing and later

The 88-acre memorial grounds take visitors on a journey through World War II, creating a solemn atmosphere to gain insight and learn more about the events that shaped our history. At its center stands a 40-foot tall arch, embellished with “Overlord,” the name given to the operation. The arch is highlighted by a reflecting pool that surrounds a captivating scene that is symbolic of the journey soldiers made onto

the blood-stained beaches of Normandy. The National D-Day Memorial hosts several events related to remembering World War II throughout the year. Also located in the town of Bedford is the Bedford Museum & Genealogical Library, which allowed the use of the “Bedford Boys” images on the helmets. The museum’s three floors of exhibits tell the rich history of Bedford County from Native

FLAMES FEATURE STORY #FLAMESGIVEBACK OCTOBER AND EARLY NOVEMBER 2019 RECAP Liberty student-athletes continued their outreach to the community during the month of October and November through several outreach events. Student-athletes participated in the seventh annual Spooktacular Kids Carnival on Oct. 12 at the Liberty Softball Stadium. The annual carnival featured a wide variety of games, activities, and treats, along with a chance for Liberty’s student-athletes to interact with community children and their families. Also during October, every Liberty athletics team collected canned food items throughout the month for Trick or Treat So Others Can Eat. The teams collected a total of 3,174 cans, 241 more than in 2018 (2,933). The Liberty women’s lacrosse team led the way in cans collected with 939, winning the Golden Pumpkin award for the most cans collected among Liberty athletics teams. After sorting, the canned goods were donated and distributed to the Lynchburg Daily Bread, Park View Community Mission, and R.S. Payne Elementary School. “It’s not every day that we get the opportunity to be servants of God by reliving our childhood and dressing up in costumes and going trick or treating,” said Liberty lacrosse redshirt senior Aubrie Tarris, who went door to door to collect cans. “It’s just an amazing sight to see how

God has blessed us with the opportunity to go out and collect thousands of canned goods to help meet the needs of the local community!” The Liberty football, baseball, men’s basketball, men’s soccer, and men’s track & field teams took part in Donuts with Dads at Linkhorne Elementary School on Oct. 24 and 25. The student-athletes spent time and shared donuts with the kids of Linkhorne Elementary during the event. In addition, the track & field and lacrosse teams were involved in Pirate Reading and Math Night at Payne Elementary on Oct. 24. Liberty student-athletes have embraced the concept of “pay it forward” by demonstrating love, caring for and serving the local community. Using the NCAA athletic platform, Flames and Lady Flames student-athletes impact the lives of individuals of all ages in both public and private sectors. During the 2018-19 academic year, Liberty’s 550 Division I student-athletes provided over 11,200 hours of service through 118 community service events. Liberty student-athletes will continue to serve the Lynchburg community and surrounding area under the initiatives of #PayItForward and #FlamesGiveBack on social media throughout the 2019-20 academic year.
