About Newberry, South Carolina The City of Newberry has a lot to offer — whether you live in, work in or visit our community. Located in the Upstate of South Carolina, Newberry is known for its historic homes, marvelous climate, lovely countryside and friendly residents. Located just minutes from Columbia, the state’s capital, and the economic powerhouse of Greenville, the city of Newberry offers a small-town charm and security for visitors and residents alike. And Newberry’s rich heritage is captured in its love of history and historic preservation. The downtown area is lined with antique shops, boutiques, restaurants and retail stores. We’re proud of our city and all it has to offer. As you explore our streets, we know you’ll find that Newberry is everything you expected and more, and that your experiences here are rich and memorable. Take a look at the city of Newberry, its people, places and things to do, and you’ll soon realize that this is a place that you could call home. 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

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. Newberry currently has won 20 of the 21 games played at Setzler Field since the installation of the artificial surface prior to the 2006 season.

Brad Edwards

Athletic Director

Brad Edwards was introduced as Athletic Director at Newberry College on May 18, 2009. Prior to coming to Newberry, he served as vice president of IMI Resort Holdings, Inc., after five years as associate athletic director at the University of South Carolina. He served as USC’s senior associate athletic director from July 2003 to March 2006. Edwards, who played free safety for the Gamecocks and played in the National Football League for nine seasons, was responsible for the recruiting, hiring and training of sales executives and sales directors for IMI’s resort properties across North America, Latin America and the Caribbean. He also assisted with the IMI PGA Tour Player program and was responsible for the construction of IMI’s New York City office. In his time at South Carolina, he served as the athletic department’s chief financial officer and was responsible for the day-to-day oversight and management of all business functions. He oversaw the department’s budget, business operations for Williams Brice Stadium, the Colonial Center and Sarge Frye Field, new facility design, development, and construction, all venue concessions and food service, department advertising and multimedia rights, coordination of bowl travel, and many other operational aspects of the department.

He also played with the Washington Redskins and Atlanta Falcons and was a starter with the Redskins’ Super Bowl XXVI championship team.



Quarterback

For the first time since Josh Stepp’s tenure entering the 2006 playoff season, Newberry has its starter at quarterback entering camp. Preseason All-SAC second teamer and offensive captain Brandon Gantt (Lexington, S.C.) will enter the 2009 season as the starting signal caller in his final season wearing the scarlet and gray. The senior played in seven of 10 games last season, completing 42 of his 72 passes for 452 yards and two touchdowns. He is on the passing end of a Newberry record, as he connected with Kelton Tindal for a school-record 94-yard touchdown in the 2008 Homecoming win over Catawba. In 2007, Gantt was the only quarterback on the roster to play in all 11 games, completing 92-of-144 passes for 940 yards and five touchdowns. He is also a dual threat, as he has carried the ball 105 times for 481 yards and three touchdowns in his two years at Newberry. “Brandon is a senior leader, a 4.0 student and a family man. He’s our guy,” head coach Todd Knight said. “Having our starter at quarterback named before the season starts brings new stability to the offense that we haven’t seen in a few years. There will be plenty of competition for the important backup role, as Gantt is the only quarterback on the roster to take a snap in a Newberry jersey. Redshirt freshmen Bryan Ehrlich (San Antonio, Texas) and Taniel Massey (Lancaster, S.C.) are leading candidates, having spent the most time in the system under offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach Todd Varn. “Bryan is a great young dynamic player, and Taniel is a multi-faceted athlete who could probably start for us at three or four positions. If the situation arises, they could lead us with no problem,” Knight said.

Running Back

A wealth of talent returns at the running back position, including a preseason all-SAC member and another allSAC candidate. Gerald Legree (St. Helena Island, S.C.) earned recognition as a preseason second team all-SAC honoree after a solid junior campaign in 2008. He carried the ball 94 times for 480 yards and three touchdowns, playing in all 10 games. However, Legree might not even be the starting running back by August 29 in Valdosta, as Tharry Salley (Blackville, S.C.) would also have been an all-SAC candidate had he not missed the final three games of the season due to an injury. Salley had 94 carries for 485 yards and two touchdowns as a sophomore, and should be ready to contribute in fall camp after rehabilitating from his injury. “Gerald and Tharry are two senior leaders who both have great work ethics,” Knight said. “They are both tough,

2009 PREVIEW hard-nosed players who provide us great leadership at the running back spot.” Also expected to contribute are Lyndon Ingram (Sumter, S.C.) and Alkeem Sherman (Conway, S.C.), who earned the majority of the snaps in the 2009 spring game. “Lyndon and Alkeem are both good young backs who could also start for us on any given Saturday,” Knight said.

Fullback and Tight End

After losing both fullbacks from the 2008 season, Newberry receives a huge boost at that position as S.J. Worrell (Madison, Ga.) transfers in from Presbyterian College. Worrell was the leading rusher for the Blue Hose in each of the last three seasons. Worrell amassed 2,632 yards rushing and receiving with 20 touchdowns on 502 touches in his three years at PC, and that talent will be greatly appreciated by the Newberry squad. Joining him at the fullback spot is Rod Nabors (Augusta, Ga.). “We’ll be counting on S.J. and Rod to produce this season,” Knight said. “They’re both tough, strong kids that we’ll be counting on when the game’s on the line.” Two tight ends return for the scarlet and gray and a newcomer with experience at the fullback position will be one of Newberry’s best at that position in the last few years. Senior Justin Greene (Irmo, S.C.) returns at tight end, as does junior Connor Hilton (Hickory, N.C.). “Both Justin and Connor are quality individuals that we’re going to rely on more than we have in the past,” Knight said.

Wide Receiver

The wide receiver position might be Newberry’s most exciting to watch, as the scarlet and gray lost no wideouts to graduation and return a pair of all-SAC players. The receiver getting the most attention from professional scouts and publications will be speedy senior Kelton Tindal (Sumter, S.C.). Tindal led Newberry last season with 39 catches for 745 yards – the seventh best season in NC history - and six touchdowns. He sits on sixth place in Newberry history in career receiving yards with 1,461 and could be considered a candidate for Newberry’s first 1,000-yard season. Tindal was named to the Orangeburg Touchdown Club’s All-State team and was named all-Super Region Two Second Team by DAKTRONICS and Don Hansen’s Football Gazette in 2008. With his 4.2 time in the 40-yard dash and excellent route running and ball catching ability, Tindal is one of the top all-star candidates for the scarlet and gray this season.

“Kelton is one of the fastest players in the nation at any level,” Knight said. “He’s definitely a go to guy in all situations on both offense and special teams.” Where there is wealth at the receiver position, it abounds. David Pressley (Anderson, S.C.) had a breakout sophomore season after redshirting in 2007, catching 32 passes for 427 yards and four touchdowns. He had many highlight moments, including the game-winning touchdown in overtime against Carson-Newman and a 141-yard game against Tusculum. “David Pressley is a guy who’s paid his dues and worked extremely hard to get where he is, and has emerged as a star for us,” Knight said. Also returning is senior David Brown (Goose Creek, S.C.), who caught 28 balls for 295 yards and two touchdowns, and sophomore Brandon Bostick (Florence, S.C.), who caught 20 passes for 199 yards and two touchdowns. Another potential starter coming off of an injury is David Smith (Union, S.C.), who caught 16 passes for 153 yards before getting hurt. “David Brown and David Smith are senior leaders that we’re going to rely on,” Knight said. “With the senior leadership and talent we have, there’s no limit to how great we can be at the receiver spot.”

Offensive Line

The front line has been one of Newberry’s strengths throughout the program’s history, and despite considerable losses, the “Roach Patrol” once again aims to be one of the top lines in Division II. Junior center Matt Holmes (Johnston, S.C.) is the leader of this year’s Roach Patrol, and is a Preseason First Team AllSAC honoree after earning second team honors in 2008. Junior right guard Walter Simmons (Charleston, S.C.) joins Holmes on the preseason all-conference list, earning second team recognition after battling injury the last two years. Also returning is Kenny Heath (Aiken, S.C.), who split starting time with Simmons in 2008. “Those guys are the anchors of that unit,” Knight said. “They’ll always lead that group and make sure we’ve got things going in the right direction. Youth is the buzzword surrounding the Roach Patrol though, as many sophomores and redshirt freshmen are counted on and expected to make large contributions on the line. Andrew Tucker (Summerville, S.C.), Ben Inabinet (Irmo, S.C.), Chase Gamble (Dallas, N.C.) and Tyler Belue (Gaffney, S.C.) will all see significant playing time on the line. “Ben and Chase are great athletes and they’re fighters as well,” Knight said. “I love their attitude, and they have already begun to develop into great leaders for our younger guys on that unit.”


Defensive Line

The defensive line will display a mix of youth and experience, with two all-SAC performers returning, as well as a number of other key contributors. Leading the way is preseason first team all-SAC member Lance Clark (Florence, S.C.), who made 28 tackles in his sophomore season, including six tackles for loss, which tied him for second on the team. Also returning for his senior season is preseason second team all-SAC honoree Marcus Nelums (Columbia, S.C.), who made 23 tackles as a junior, including 3.5 tackles for loss and two solo sacks. Junior Andre Clark (Rock Hill, S.C.) returns after making 21 tackles and recording a sack as a sophomore, while sophomore Derrell Kinard (Boiling Springs, S.C.) comes back after making 18 tackles, recording two sacks and returning an interception for a touchdown as a redshirt freshman. Others expected to contribute include senior James McLamore (Irmo, S.C.) and sophomores Arsenio Smoot (Newberry, S.C.) and Joshua Stinson (Chester, S.C.). “I feel very good about our defensive ends with Marcus Nelums and Derrell Kinard,” Knight said. “With their combination of speed and strength, they could both be dominating players for us on the edge. With our tackles, they’re not just pluggers who take up space. They are expected to make plays for us, and they will.”

Linebacker

The only major changes in Newberry’s depth chart come at the linebacker position. Of the top eight linebackers from 2008, only Josh Williams (Duncan, S.C.), who made five tackles in ’08, returns. The graduating linebackers accounted for 326 of the 780 tackles made last season. With so many spots to fill, two stars move from other positions to the outside linebacker position, serving as hybrid players combined with their other position. Senior defensive captain Andre Moyd (Andrews, S.C.) has served primarily as a cornerback in his previous three seasons and his speed will be an asset at outside linebacker. He has 56 career tackles, forced and recovered two fumbles in 2008 and has made five career interceptions. Moving from safety to outside linebacker is junior R.J. Reeder (Spartanburg, S.C.). One of the hardest hitters on the team, Reeder is the leading returning tackler after making 44 hits and forcing a fumble in 2008. “When we moved Andre and R.J. to outside linebacker halfway through the spring, all of the pieces of the puzzle fell into place on defense,” Knight said. “Because they’ve been in our defense for a number of years, they can do whatever you need done without having to change the personnel.” Newcomers who will be counted on at the inside linebacker positions include Brian Yarborough (Columbia,

2009 PREVIEW S.C.), Apollo Stretch (Columbia, S.C.), Jonathan Stone (Easley, S.C.) and Matthew Kingdom (Summerville, S.C.). “While our inside linebackers are inexperienced, they’re probably bigger, stronger and more athletic than any starting pair we’ve had at that position in a very long time,” Knight said.

Cornerback

Plenty of experienced talent at the cornerback position provide defensive play-making ability, even with the Moyd moving to linebacker. Junior all-region and first team all-SAC honoree Kamaal McIlwain (Fort Mill, S.C.) is sure to wow fans again with his speed. He made 29 tackles, defended 11 passes, recovered two fumbles, made three interceptions and blocked two kicks as a sophomore. “Kamaal is a phenomenal athlete with a great combination of speed and strength,” Knight said. “He is absolutely a playmaker, and I don’t think there is a harder worker than him.” Senior Antonio Patton (Woodruff, S.C.) will return to a starting role and can be counted on for solid coverage on the edge. “As good of a player as Antonio is at cornerback, he might be even more valuable for us in a special teams role,” Knight said. Joining McIlwain and Patton to compete for playing time in camp are James Bostick (Scotia, S.C.), Kendall Glenn (Duncan, S.C.), Brandon Harris (Kershaw, S.C.) and Louisburg CC transfer Dej’Jon Lee (Lake City, S.C.).

Safety

The graduation of All-American Derrell Mills and the move to linebacker by R.J. Reeder puts one of the team’s hardest hitters in line to start at safety despite only being a sophomore. Ron Parker (St. Helena Island, S.C.) made 36 tackles in his redshirt freshman, and is the second leading returning tackler. An impressive 28 tackles were solos. Parker is one of the rising stars in any SAC secondary and a solid season should be expected from him. Brooks Burnette (Bonneau, S.C.) and Harry Cabaniss (Greenville, S.C.) are expected to compete for playing time in camp. “Ron Parker is an unknown to most people, but we know how good he is and we expect great things from him,” Knight said.

Kicking Game

Both the starting kicker and punter return from 2008, as junior Britt Blackmon (Kershaw, S.C.) will handle PATs and field goals, while senior Todd Moon (Anderson, S.C.) will take care of kickoffs and punting. Blackmon earned SAC Special Teams Player of the Week

honors once in 2008 and was second in the league in field goals made. Moon was second in the conference in punting average and ranked in the top 50 nationally. “We’ve got two great ones returning in Britt and Todd,” Knight said. “They’ve been getting the job done for us for a couple of years, and we expect even more from them. “We’re confident about both the kicking and punting duties because of the character these men have displayed. When it’s a tough spot in the game, I know they’re going to come through.” The long snapping and holding duties are up for grabs in camp. Others expected to push for time in the kicking department include Nick Kinney (Goose Creek, S.C.), Joseph Morris (Lancaster, S.C.) and Nick Toole (Barnwell, S.C.).

Return Game

The return game should once again be a strong point in Newberry’s game with a plethora of speedy specialists. Gerald Legree, Kamaal McIlwain, Andre Moyd, Antonio Patton and Kelton Tindal will all be expected to return kicks and punts in 2009. “We’re so lucky to have that much talent and speed in the return game,” Knight said. “A lot of kids these days don’t want to return kicks, they just want to star at their position. All of these young men are putting this program first and that will make us immensely better as a team.”

2009 Schedule

The 2009 schedule will be tough once again, as Newberry opens up in Titletown USA against Valdosta State, marking the first time Newberry has opened the season on the road since 2003. After a game at Division I FCS opponent Austin Peay, the home opener is against NAIA opponent Cumberland (Tenn.) on Sept. 19. The SAC schedule starts with two consecutive road games at Carson-Newman and Catawba. “I think we have an ambitious schedule, but I think our kids are excited about it,” Knight said. “The expectation level in our program has been very high the past few years, and we haven’t backed down our schedule because of that. “We start off the season in Titletown USA and then turn around and go play an FCS team in their house the next week. I look forward to our kids rising to this challenge,” Knight added.

Overall

With yet another tough schedule and a solid mix of youth and experience, coach Knight expects good things from the 2009 squad. “I expect our seasoned group to perform well every Saturday, and there’s no reason they shouldn’t,” Knight said. “They’ve all been in big ball games and they know what’s expected of them. There hasn’t been as much change as some people out there might think, and there’s no reason we shouldn’t perform at a very high level.”

NEWBERRY, S.C. - A late comeback for No. 20 Newberry College fell just short, as No. 1 Valdosta State left Setzler Field with a 14-9 win Saturday. An overflow crowd of 4,589 witnessed a much-hyped matchup that did not disappoint. Newberry (0-1) saw its 15-game home winning streak come to a close, but also saw an impressive performance against one of the best teams in the country. Newberry held VSU to 14 points, the Blazers’ lowest point output since Sept. 24, 2005, against Central Arkansas. Senior linebacker Will Newell led the Newberry defense with nine tackles, while the scarlet and gray sacked Blazer quarterbacks four times and recorded seven tackles for losses and forced two fumbles. The scarlet and gray established a defensive presence early, pushing Valdosta State inside its own 5-yard line after only two plays. The two teams exchanged punts on four possessions before the Blazers dented the scoreboard first in the second quarter. After getting the ball on its own 20, VSU drove 80 yards on eight plays to score first. A diving catch for a 41-yard completion on third-and-12 by R.J. Bastone kept the drive alive, and a 16-yard pass from Chris Hart to Albert Dukes put Valdosta State up 7-0 after the Zac Williams PAT. The Newberry defense put the scarlet and gray on the board after Valdosta State’s next drive, thanks in large part to the play of defensive end Jim Page, who sacked Hart on second down, and stuffed the quarterback at the line on third down at the VSU 11. On the ensuing punt, Blazer punter Jack Fulford was unable to control the snap and was tackled in the end zone by Andre Moyd for a safety. Newberry aimed to keep momentum going in its favor as the first half progressed, but was unable to establish offensive rhythm. Valdosta State pushed to score on the final drive of the half, but Moyd’s interception in the endzone with 12 seconds on the clock kept the score at 7-2 at the break. Both teams’ defenses stood strong in the third period, as neither team could reach their opponent’s territory until VSU’s Sherard Reynolds returned a punt to the Newberry 47 with 49 seconds left in the third. After NC held the Blazers to a three-and-out, the hosts drove down to scoring position thanks to the play of the receiving corps. Brandon Bostick rushed for 26 yards on the first play of the drive and a 23-yard pass from Brandon Gantt to Kelton Tindal put Newberry on the VSU 23. The Blazers held strong on the first three plays, forcing a fourth-and-7 from the 20. Britt Blackmon came in to attempt the first field goal of his collegiate career, but pushed the 37-yarder wide left. Valdosta State capitalized on the next drive with an 8-play, 80-yard march to paydirt. Michael Brown ran to the left side for a 35-yard touchdown run, putting the Blazers up 14-2 after the PAT. Newberry got into VSU territory on the first play of the next drive, but was then forced to punt. VSU earned two first downs on the next drive before another punting situation came. Tindal blocked the punt - the fourth blocked kick of his career - and Newberry recovered the ball on the VSU 18. It took only three plays to find the endzone, as Eric McCollom (Camden, S.C.) hooked up with Tindal on a 15-yard touchdown pass with 1:30 to play. Blackmon’s PAT made the score 14-9. However, the onside kick attempt was recovered by Valdosta State, cutting the comeback bid short. Newberry put up 225 yards of total offense in the game with Gantt and McCollom splitting time at quarterback. Gantt was 15-of-19 for 102 yards through the air, while McCollom was 7-of-13 for 53 yards and a touchdown. SCORE BY QUARTERS 1 2 3 4 F Valdosta State 0 7 0 7 14 Newberry 0 2 0 7 9

NEWBERRY, S.C. - The No. 22 Newberry College football team had an excellent all-around performance as the scarlet and gray throttled North Greenville, 41-3, in non-conference action at Setzler Field on Thursday night. Newberry jumps to 1-1 on the season, while North Greenville drops to 0-3. Several Newberry players stood out to push the scarlet and gray to victory, most notably linebacker Will Newell. Newell switched from his normal number 45 to don the 46 jersey in honor of his older brother John, who passed away last week. Newell recorded 15 tackles in the first three quarters of the game, including 12 in the first half and 14 that were recorded as solos. Newell now stands at 271 career total tackles, which is ninth in the Newberry records. He is also eighth in solo tackles at 161. Another Newberry standout was true freshman quarterback John Carnell, who made his collegiate debut in the late stages of the first quarter. After throwing an incompletion on his first attempt, Carnell would settle down and complete 13-of-19 passes for 213 yards, three touchdowns and no interceptions. Starter Eric McCollom was 3-of-5 for 24 yards and a batted ball interception before Carnell was called upon. Andre Moyd got the night going in the right direction for Newberry, as he returned the opening kickoff 61 yards to the NGU 28. However, the batted ball interception on the second play of the game brought the drive to an abrupt halt. However, Newberry never let the momentum seing back to the Crusaders, as Moyd intercepted a pass - which was called back on off-setting penalties - and Brett Gault recovered the fumbled punt snap on the North Greenville 5-yardline. It took only two plays for Newberry to find the end zone from there, as receiver Brandon Bostick took an end-around for a 4-yard score to give Newberry the early 7-0 edge after the PAT from Britt Blackmon. The two sides would trade possessions into the second quarter until the guests strung together a 10 play, 38 yard drive that ended with a 26-yard field goal from NGU’s Michael Sears, making it a 7-3 game. Carnell would lead the scarlet and gray down the field on the very next drive with a 17-yard completion to Eric Huggins and a 15-yard pass to David Pressley putting Newberry inside the North Greenville 20. Kelton Tindal would find paydirt on a 4-yard rush to put Newberry ahead 14-3. The Newberry defense would set the team up for a score on the next NGU drive. After the Crusaders were called for holding on third-and-1, Kamaal McIlwain intercepted a pass at the Newberry 49 on the third-and-11 play. Tharry Salley rushed for five yards and Carnell connected with Tindal for a 44-yard touchdown strike with 4:04 left until halftime. Newberry would take the 21-3 lead to the locker room. Newberry would extend the lead on its first drive of the third quarter as Carnell threw a 23-yard touchdown pass to Bostick to put the hosts up 28-3. The reception was Bostick’s only catch on the night. With just less than two minutes remaining in the third quarter, Carnell threw his third touchdown pass of the night, as his 11-yard scoring strike to Pressley put Newberry ahead 35-3 going into the final period. The tenacious running style of Lyndon Ingram paid off for Newberry’s final trip to the endzone. The redshirt freshman running back broke at least three tackles and dragged defenders along the sideline on a 29-yard reception that put NC on the Crusader 7. Ingram was rewarded with the next two carries, the second of which resulted in a 3-yard scoring run for the first points of his career. Two players finished above the century mark on offense as Tindal recorded 101 receiving yards on four catches, and Salley ran for 100 yards on 11 carries.

WICHITA FALLS, Texas - The No. 21 Newberry College football team dropped a 24-10 decision to Midwestern State University at Memorial Stadium on Saturday night. Newberry (1-2) started off strong but faded down the stretch as MSU (3-0) capitalized on chances in the second half. The scarlet and gray scored on the opening drive as John Carnell capped a 4-play, 62-yard drive with a 52-yard touchdown pass to Brandon Bostick. A 9-play, 50-yard drive that spanned into the second quarter was finished off with a 33-yard field goal by Britt Blackmon to give Newberry a 10-0 lead with 13:44 until the half. The field goal was the first of Blackmon’s career. However, from there on out, the Mustangs controlled the scoreboard and it seemed Newberry couldn’t get a break. Jose Martinez’ 26-yard field goal narrowed the deficit to 10-3 at the half, but the kick was set up after an MSU punt went off the back of Andre Moyd to put the Mustangs in excellent field position. Newberry did not allow a first down on the ensuing drive, but the field goal put the points on the board. Midwestern State tied the game at 10-all on the first drive of the second half, when a 6-play 53-yard drive ended with a 7-yard touchdown pass from Zack Eskridge to J.J. Ford. MSU intercepted a Carnell pass at the Newberry 27 with 2:31 to play in the third, and immediately capitalized, as Marcus Mathis ran 27 yards to paydirt to give the Mustangs a 17-10 lead. Newberry drove down to the MSU 9-yardline on its first possession of the fourth quarter. However, the snap on a Blackmon field goal attempt sailed over the holders’ head, breaking any Newberry momentum after a solid 12-play drive. The inability to score was especially painful after an Antonio Patton punt return for a touchdown was called back for an illegal block at the beginning of the drive. MSU immediately answered as a pair of big runs put the Mustangs up by two scores. Marcus Mathis ran for 60 yards to get into Newberry territory and BeeJay Mathis went the final 30 yards for the score. Newberry never gave up, and drove back into the MSU red zone, but Carnell was forced from the game with a short term injury. Eric McCollom got Newberry inside the Mustang 10, but a pass against the grain after a long scramble on fourth down was dropped on the goal line. NC forced a late punt, but couldn’t find the scoreboard again, and the game ended at 24-10. Carnell was Newberry’s offensive leader, completing 27-of-37 passes for 281 yards with a touchdown and an interception. McCollom was 2-of-5 for 22 yards. Bostick had eight receptions for 105 yards and a touchdown, while Kelton Tindal (Sumter, S.C.) caught eight passes for 56 yards. Chris Reed led Newberry with eight tackles, including one for a loss, while Moyd snagged his second interception of the season. Newberry gained 18 first downs to Midwestern State’s 13, and the scarlet and gray had 33 yards of total offense to MSU’s 306.

NEWBERRY, S.C. - The Newberry College football team engineered a 77-yard touchdown drive in the final minute of regulation and scored on a 25-yard touchdown pass in overtime to defeat Carson-Newman, 27-21, at Setzler Field in the South Atlantic Conference opener for both teams. Newberry (2-2, 1-0 SAC) earned the win in the hands of wide receiver David Pressley and quarterback Eric McCollom in the late stages of the game. McCollom connected with David Brown on a 2-yard touchdown pass with 16 seconds left in regulation to bring Newberry within two points. McCollom found Pressley in the end zone to score the two-point conversion that sent the game to overtime. After Carson-Newman (2-2, 0-1 SAC, 11th AFCA, 8th D2Football) missed a 24yard field goal on the first drive of the overtime, McCollom pump faked and then threw to Pressley for the touchdown strike on third-and-10 to seal the victory. The game did not start out nearly as well as it would end for Newberry, as the scarlet and gray struggled through a first quarter that was sloppy on both sides. C-N quarterback Alex Good put the Eagles up on the first play of the game, as he kept the ball and scampered 77 yards for a touchdown. From there, the two teams traded turnovers on three straight drives before Britt Blackmon put Newberry on the board with a 23-yard field goal, narrowing the margin to 7-3 with 6:51 left in the opening quarter. Each team turned the ball over on the next two drives, totaling five turnovers in the first quarter. Newberry took the lead on its first possession of the second quarter with Brandon Gantt leading the offense on a 8-play, 60-yard drive. Gantt would finish the drive off with a 24-yard quarterback keeper, putting NC up 10-7 after the Blackmon PAT. Carson-Newman answered on the next drive, as Good connected with Reggie Hubbard for a 35-yard touchdown pass that would give the Eagles a 14-10 lead they would carry into the half. Newberry cut the lead to one point with 4:13 left in the third quarter, as Blackmon’s 32-yard field goal capped a 9-play, 75-yard drive that made the score 14-13. The Newberry defense stood strong in the fourth quarter, as NC stopped Carson-Newman on three consecutive drives inside the Newberry 40-yardline. But Carson-Newman’s final drive ended with a Buck Wakefield 1-yard touchdown plunge, giving the Eagles a 21-13 lead with 1:26 to play. Newberry only had one timeout and 1:21 to cover 77 yards and force the overtime. A roughing the passer and personal foul against CarsonNewman gave Newberry 30 free yards and put the scarlet and gray inside the Eagle 11. McCollom rushed down to the Eagle 2 on third down, but that set up a 4th-and-1 with 0:21 left. But the senior quarterback found Brown in the end zone to set up the potential tie. From there, Pressley caught the two-point conversion to force OT. After holding C-N to the missed field goal on the first overtime drive, Newberry rushed for no gain on first and second downs, setting up a thirdand-10. But McCollom pump faked before finding Pressley in the end zone and giving Newberry the conference-opening win. Newberry went with dual quarterbacks again, as Gantt was 14-of-23 for 130 yards and an interception, while McCollom was 8-of-16 for 95 yards with 2 INTs and 2 touchdowns in the game. Gerald Legree was Newberry’s leading rusher, carrying the ball five times for 73 yards, including a 64-yard carry that set up Blackmon’s first quarter field goal. Brown caught 10 passes for 97 yards and a touchdown to lead the receiving corps. SCORE BY QUARTERS 1 2 3 4 OT F Carson-Newman 7 7 0 7 0 21 Newberry 3 7 3 8 6 27

NEWBERRY, S.C. - Special teams and defense set up Newberry College for success, while the offense provided the fireworks in NC’s 33-14 Homecoming win over 18th-ranked Catawba at Setzler Field on Saturday. Newberry (3-2, 2-0 SAC) blocked three kicks and forced four turnovers to provide Newberry with scoring chances. Kamaal McIlwain blocked two kicks in the game, made three tackles and broke up two passes, including a potential touchdown strike. Junior receiver Kelton Tindal had a spectaular evening, blocking a punt - the fifth blocked kick of his career and second of the season - as well as catching two passes. While it was only two passes, they both carried a massive impact, as he hauled in touchdowns of 49 and 94 yards on the night. The 94 yard catch tied the Newberry College record for the longest pass play in school history. Catawba (3-2, 1-1 SAC; ranked 20th in the AFCA poll and 18th in the D2Football poll) outgained NC in first downs, passing yardage and total offense, put could never overcome the turnovers and special teams mistakes. Jamelle Cuthbertson led Catawba with 108 rushing yards on 12 carries, while Travis Landrum caught three passes for 94 yards. Freshman linebacker Lakeem Perry nearly doubled his season tackles total with 17 tackles - 15 of which went down as solos. Junior Julian Samolu recorded 10 tackles. The game started off well for the scarlet and gray, as senior linebacker Will Newell snagged an interception on his first play. It was the first interception of his career. After going three-and-out and punting, Newberry gave up a 72-yard completion from Howard Williamson to Landrum, putting Catawba at the Newberry 26. However, NC’s defense put the clamps on the Catawba offense and forced Thomas Trexler to miss a 32-yard field goal attempt. Newberry got on the board first with a 13-play, 80-yard drive that featured three third down conversions. Gerald Legree (Beaufort, S.C.) capped the drive with a 2-yard touchdown plunge, giving Newberry the 7-0 lead after the PAT. Catawba was forced to punt on its next possession, and Trexler’s punt pinned Newberry inside its own 3-yardline. On second down from the 5, the snap went over the quarterback’s head and out of the endzone for a safety, making it a 7-2 game. NC forced another Trexler punt on its next drive, but the scarlet and gray’s drive was cut short when Samolu forced a fumble, giving Catawba the ball at the Newberry 15. It took only three plays for Cuthbertson to find the endzone and put Catawba up 8-7. However, that lead was extremely short-lived, as McIlwain blocked Trexler’s PAT attempt. Andre Moyd picked up the ball and ran all the way to the other endzone for the defensive PAT, put Newberry back on top at 9-8. The scarlet and gray would never relinquish the lead. The lead was extended to 16-8, when Brandon Gantt found Tindal for a 49-yard touchdown pass with 5:09 left before the half. Tindal would make his mark on the game again on the next drive. After a Catawba three-and-out, Tindal blocked Trexler’s punt and recovered it at the Catawba 5. Tharry Salley ran the ball into the endzone on the first play, giving Newberry a 23-8 lead it would take to halftime. Newberry started the second half scoring on its second drive in the third quarter, as Britt Blackmon finished off a 7-play, 17-yard drive with a 20-yard field goal, giving Newberry the 26-8 lead. The score was set up when senior defensive end David Harris recovered a fumble by Catawba’s George Bell and returned it down to the Catawba 2, just short of the end zone. There was a block in the back penalty on the return, forcing Newberry back, but the scarlet and gray still put the points on the board. After driving into Newberry territory on the next drive, Catawba looked for the endzone on the arm of sophomore quarterback Patrick Dennis. However, senior safety Derrell Mills thwarted the drive with an interception at the Newberry 2. Two short rushes set up a third-and-6 for Newberry at its own 6-yardline. But Gantt want to the air and found Tindal for a 94-yard touchdown. SCORE BY QUARTERS 1 2 3 4 F Catawba 0 8 0 6 14 Newberry 7 16 10 0 33

MARS HILL, N.C. - The Newberry College football team, ranked 22nd in the D2Football.com poll and 25th in the AFCA Coaches’ Poll, dropped a 27-6 decision to Mars Hill College at Meares Stadium on Saturday afternoon. Newberry (3-3, 2-1 South Atlantic Conference) was never able to string the offense together, gaining only 225 total yards on 60 plays. Mars Hill (4-3, 1-2 SAC) was only ahead by a single score at the half, but pulled away with two second half touchdowns. The scarlet and gray forced Mars Hill to turn the ball over on downs on the game’s first drive. Newberry proceeded to drive down to the Lions 21, but a field goal attempt from Britt Blackmon went just wide left. After forcing another Lion punt, the Newberry offense was snuffed out near midfield, when Zach Johnson intercepted a pass by Eric McCollom. MHC quarterback Ricky Spradling connected with Frankie Waters for a 32-yard touchdown pass on the next play to put the Lions ahead, 7-0. On the ensuing kickoff, Mars Hill’s Kadeem Morgan forced a fumble, which was recovered by Jonas Randolph at the Newberry 21. On the third play of the drive, Spradling scrambled 22 yards to paydirt, giving the Lions a 14-0 advantage. Newberry got on the board in the second quarter on the legs of running back Tharry Salley, who had rushes of 13 and 26 yards, with the second rush finding the endzone. Blackmon’s PAT attempt hit the right upright, leaving the score at 14-6. In the second half, Mars Hill controlled the game on offense, giving Newberry few opportunities to score. The Lions scored on a 7-yard George Stripling run with 7:00 left in the third quarter that was set up by a spectacular diving catch by Waters in the Newberry red zone. The PAT was missed, making it a 20-7 ball game. The hosts put the game away with 12:09 left in the game, when Stripling went on a weaving 70-yard touchdown run for the final score of the afternoon. Salley was the leading rusher for Newberry with 90 yards and a touchdown on 13 carries. Stripling’s 13 carries for 96 yards and two scores led the Lions ground attack. Newberry quarterbacks McCollom and Brandon Gantt combined to complete 10-of-26 passes for 84 yards with two interceptions. MHC’s Spradling was 6-of-16 for 90 yards and a touchdown. Defensively, Newberry was led by Mike Grase, who made 13 tackles, three of which were for a loss. Devon Smalls and Will Newell each made 10 tackles. Newell is now sixth in Newberry history with 175 solo tackles, and will have 300 career tackles total with his next tackle. Johnson was the Lions’ leader on defense with nine tackles, two sacks, three tackles for a loss and an interception.

NEWBERRY, S.C. - Three long turnover returns resulted in Newberry College touchdowns as the scarlet and gray defeated previously undefeated Wingate, 3221, at Setzler Field on Saturday night. The win puts Newberry in a three-way tie at the top of the South Atlantic Conference with three games left in the regular season. Newberry (4-3, 3-1 SAC) rebounded well from last week’s disappointing loss at Mars Hill, taking advantage of miscues by the Wingate defense. Wingate falls to 7-1 overall and 3-1 in SAC play with the loss. Wingate got on the board first, with an 11-play, 80-yard touchdown drive. Newberry held Wingate to a fourth down at the NC 30. JD Moore launched a pass downfield that appeared to be broken up by a Newberry player, but fell to the hands of Delric Ellington, who scored a 30-yard touchdown to put the Bulldogs ahead, 7-0. Newberry found the scoreboard on its first drive of the second quarter, as Britt Blackmon capped a 12-play, 49-yard drive with a 33-yard field goal, making it 7-3 with 11:59 until the half. After the two sides traded punts, Wingate drove inside Newberry territory with about a minute left on the clock. However, Andre Moyd picked off a Moore pass at the NC 25. Moyd returned the ball to the Bulldog 35 before he lateraled the ball to Kamaal McIlwain, who was forced out of bounds at the WU 1-yardline. Quarterback Eric McCollom punched the ball into the endzone with 45 seconds until the half, giving Newberry a 10-7 lead at the break. Newberry scored first in the second half, as a 10-play, 50-yard drive was finished off by Blackmon’s second field goal of the night, this one from 34 yards out to extend the Newberry lead to 13-7. The scarlet and gray defense took advantage of another Wingate turnover just three plays into the next drive. As Bulldog running back Patrick Pinchinat crossed into Newberry territory, NC linebacker Will Newell forced him to fumble the ball at the NC 47. After the ball was kicked around, the speedy McIlwain picked it up at the 40-yardline and scampered all the way to the Bulldog endzone. The 60-yard score put Newberry up 19-7 after a two-point conversion failed. Pinchinat redeemed himself quickly, as his 63-yard kickoff return set the Bulldogs up at the Newberry 23. It took Wingate three plays to score, as Moore found tight end Ryan Webber for an 18-yard touchdown pass, making it a 19-14 game. Newberry drove deep into Wingate territory on its first full drive of the fourth quarter before fourth down was forced at the WU 11. However, Blackmon’s field goal attempt sailed just inches to the left. But sophomore defensive end Derrell Kinard made sure the scarlet and gray’s trip into Bulldog territory resulted in a score. On a third-and-9 from the Wingate 21, Moore was forced to roll out to his right under heavy pressure from the Newberry defense. Moore attempted a pass, but Kinard snagged the ball out of mid-air and went 15 yards into the endzone untouched. Blackmon’s PAT extended the lead to 26-14 for NC. Newberry put its final points on the board following the legs of running back Gerald Legree. Legree carried the five times on the six-play drive, with his final rush resulting in a 20-yard touchdown run. The PAT was missed, making it 32-14 in NC’s favor. Wingate scored on its last drive, as Moore completed all six of his passes, including a 6-yard touchdown strike to Shawn Barrett with 9 seconds to play. Down by 11, WU tried an onside kick, but Brandon Bostick fell onto the ball for Newberry to end the game. The Bulldogs outgained their hosts offensively, 349-324, but the three turnovers proved to be costly, as all three directly resulted in scores. Legree was Newberry’s leading rusher, carrying the ball 18 times for 110 yards and a touchdown. Tharry Salley carried the ball 17 times for 92 yards. All told, seven Newberry players carried the ball in the game. Wingate’s Nelson Woods rushed 20 times for 75 yards. Wingate’s Moore was the leading passer in the game, completing 25-of-45 passes for 266 yards with three touchdowns and 2 interceptions.

GREENEVILLE, Tenn. - The Newberry College football team fell into an early hole and was unable to recover, as Tusculum College won, 45-33, in South Atlantic Conference action at Pioneer Field. Newberry (4-4, 3-2 SAC) outgained Tusculum (6-3, 3-2 SAC) 481 yards to 449 on offense, but four Newberry turnovers proved to be too much to overcome. The Pioneers got on the board first, when Justin Scott capped an 11-play, 67yard drive with a 2-yard touchdown run with 11:33 left in the first quarter. TC would score its second touchdown on a 22-yard run from Corey Russell, and extended the lead to 21-0 on a 5-yard pass from Russel to Jarrell NeSmith with 4:03 left in the first quarter. Newberry got its first points on the board on the first play of the second quarter when Eric McCollom connected with Kelton Tindal for a 60-yard touchdown pass to make it a 21-7 game. The Pioneers took the lead back to three scores on a Russell-to-Calvin Britt 35-yard touchdown with 6:24 until halftime. The scarlet and gray finished off the first half scoring on the next drive, when Gerald Legree finished off a 7-play, 59-yard drive with a 3-yard touchdown run. The extra point was blocked, making it 28-13 at the break. The Pioneers didn’t take long to extend their lead, as Randy Williams scooped up a backwards pass on the first play of the third quarter and scampered 39 yards for the score. NC answered directly, as McCollom threw a 73-yard touchdown pass to David Pressley on the second play of the ensuing drive. The two-point conversion attempt was good, making it a 35-21 game. On the ensunig kickoff, Newberry’s Ron Parker appeared to cause a fumble on the return, but the runner was ruled down. After an NC personal foul on the first play of the drive, the Pioneers took the momentum and turned it into a 5-play, 80-yard scoring drive that was capped by Russell’s second TD run of the day, this one from 22 yards out. Newberry came within two scores after McCollom threw a 2-yard touchdown pass to David Brown in the fourth quarter. Gareth Rowlands nailed a 39-yard field goal to extend the lead to 45-27 with 4:22 left, but NC finished the day’s scoring on a 32-yard touchdown pass to Pressley. Newberry recorded 481 yards of offense on the day, but only earned three rushing yards on 27 attempts. However, McCollom was 29-of-40 for 478 yards with three interceptions and four touchdowns. McCollom earned the most passing yards by a Newberry player since Josh Stepp’s 425 yard performance in a double overtime win at Catawba in 2005. That is also tied for the sixth best passing day in the history of the South Atlantic Conference. It is the most passing yards by a Newberry player in the South Atlantic Conference era. Pressley was Newberry’s leading receiver with eight catches for 171 yards and two touchdowns, while Tindal caught five passes for 117 yards and a score. Brown was not far from the 100-yard mark, as he had six catches for 92 yards and a touchdown. Russell was TC’s offensive leader, completing 24-of-43 passes for 267 and two scores, while rushing 18 times for 123 yards and two scores. Parker led the Newberry defensive effort with eight tackles, while Elvin Bussey recorded six tackles and two sacks. Eight players recorded five or more tackles on the day. TC was led on defense by Scott, who had 10 stops and two sacks.

NEWBERRY, S.C. - The Newberry College football team defeated Lenoir-Rhyne College in the annual Bishops Trophy game, 38-14, at Setzler Field on Saturday night. Newberry (5-4, 4-2 SAC) wins its third straight game in the series over the Bears (3-7, 1-5 SAC). Lenoir-Rhyne got on the board on its opening drive, but Newberry responded with six scores to put the game out of reach. The Bears took the opening kickoff and drove 75 yards in nine plays to take a 7-0 lead. The touchdown came on a 42-yard strike from Justin Sanders to Andrew Courman. But the scarlet and gray answered immediately, as quarterback Eric McCollom connected with wide receiver Kelton Tindal on a 71-yard touchdown pass on Newberry’s first play of the game to tie the contest. L-R took the next kickoff and drove into Newberry territory, but the drive was snuffed out when Devon Smalls intercepted a Sanders pass at the Newberry 9. Newberry took nine plays to cover the 91 yards, and a McCollom quarterback sneak put Newberry ahead, 14-7. The hosts held Lenoir-Rhyne to a three-and-out on the next drive, and an aborted punt attempt on fourth down gave Newberry excellent field position at the Lenoir-Rhyne 26. It took only four plays for the scarlet and gray attack to find the endzone on a 5-yard end around from Tindal for the 21-7 lead. Another Bear three-and-out followed by a punt set Newberry up in great field position again. Three plays later, Lyndon Ingram took the ball 18 yards for the score and a 28-7 halftime lead. The scarlet and gray extended their lead on the opening drive of the second half, capping a 9-play, 54-yard drive with a 22-yard field goal by Britt Blackmon for a 31-7 advantage. Newberry’s final score came on an impressive 11-play, 92-yard drive that was finished off with a 12-yard touchdown carry from fullback Timmy Boyd. The Bears put the finishing touches on the scoring in the fourth quarter, when Byron Darby carried the ball 45 yards to paydirt with 8:36 left in the game. Tindal was the game’s offensive leader with three receptions for 130 yards and a touchdown as well as three carries for 24 yards and a touchdown. McCollom was 7-of-13 passing for 201 yards with a touchdown and an interception. Gerald Legree led the scarlet and gray rushing attack with 17 carries for 90 yards. Eleven Newberry players earned rushing yardage on the night, including an interesting seven yards for right tackle Marchent Faustin after recovering a Legree fumble. On 45 carries, the Newberry backs only lost four yards rushing. Darby led the L-R offense, carrying the ball 11 times for 101 yards and a score. The Bears carried the ball 49 times for 175 yards. Sanders led the air attack, going 7-of-11 for 135 yards, a touchdown and two interceptions. Those interceptions landed in the hands of Smalls and Kamaal McIlwain. Smalls also recorded six tackles and a tackle for loss, while McIlwain had two tackles, one of which was a nine yard sack, and a fumble recovery, as well as 73 yards in kickoff returns. Will Newell led the Newberry defense with nine tackles, all of which were solo tackles. Newell is now alone in fifth place in Newberry history with 328 career tackles. He has an opportunity to finish his career in fourth place next week. That spot is held by James Putnam, who recorded 339 tackles from 1986-89. Lenoir-Rhyne’s defensive effort was led by Chad Holby (Fairview, N.C.), who recorded nine tackles.

BREVARD, N.C. - The Newberry College football team clinched a share of the South Atlantic Conference Football Championship on Saturday afternoon with a 17-0 shutout of the Brevard College Tornados at Brevard Memorial Stadium on Saturday evening. Tusculum’s 45-44 win over Carson-Newman gave Newberry a tie with the Pioneers and Eagles atop the SAC standings, as all three teams finish the season with a 5-2 conference record. Newberry finishes the season with a 6-4 overall record. The winning season is Newberry’s fourth straight. The game was tight throughout the first half, as Newberry only took a 3-0 lead into the locker room. Britt Blackmon capped an eight-yard, 67-yard drive with a 30-yard field goal with 12:18 left in the second quarter. Senior defensive lineman David Harris scored the game’s first touchdown with 12:22 left in the third quarter, when he returned a Trey Wilborn fumble 45 yards for a touchdown to give Newberry a 10-0 lead. Lyndon Ingram finished off the scoring with 6:39 left in the third quarter with a 9-yard touchdown run. Newberry held Brevard to 246 yards of offense, while the Tornado defense had an admirable effort in limiting the scarlet and gray to 257 yards of offense. Ingram led Newberry with 73 yards rushing on seven carries. Defensively, Will Newell was Newberry’s leading tackler with 10 total tackles, bringing his career total to 338, which will put him at fifth all-time at Newberry.

Newberry Notes

• This is the tightest active series in the Newberry annals, with the Bulldogs holding a very slight 10-9 lead in the all-time series. • Newberry’s longest SAC winning streak is currently against the Bulldogs, as the scarlet and gray have won the last four meetings, and five of the last six. • Newberry’s 11-point win in 2008 was the largest margin of victory in the series since Wingate’s 33-0 win in 2002.

THE SOUTH ATLANTIC CONFERENCE HISTORY

The South Atlantic Conference has experienced and enjoyed over 30 years of athletic tradition and excellence. The conference has been tremendously successful 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, NC 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. 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. 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. 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. The league membership now includes Brevard College in Brevard, N.C.; CarsonNewman College in Jefferson City, Tenn.; Catawba College in Salisbury, N.C.; LenoirRhyne College 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..

“The personalized attention I received from my professors allowed me to gain greater insight into my studies. Rather than taking scientific concepts or public issues at face value, I was charged with searching for answers that not only enriched my understanding, but also developed my learning process. I feel certain the attention I received at Newberry College has guided me to where I am as a graduate student today.� Wyatt Chocklett ’06 Virginia Tech Graduate Student

“Newberry College has helped me to achieve my goals by providing many opportunities for campus involvement, and even leadership positions which will prepare me for success after graduation when I plan to work on a presidential campaign and work in national politics.� Bethany Boller ’08 Student Body President
