Ehrlich saw actionin three games last season, but has taken only 41 snapsand is the only quarterback on the roster with collegiateexperience.Ehrlich only threw 10 passes in his redshirt freshmanseason, but completed eight of them for 86 yards and a152.2 quarterback efficiency rating.“I’ve called Bryan a gunslinger, and a lot of that is becausehe’s from Texas, but he’s that got that kind of styleand mentality when he plays the game,” Knight said. “He’sgot a huge arm, he’s not afraid and he thinks he can makeevery play and every throw. He kind of reminds you of ayoung Brett Favre. He’s a great leader and he’s definitelyour starter this year.”Redshirt freshman Parker Hite (Ninety Six, S.C.),sophomore Michael Rentz (Charleston, S.C.) and incomingfreshman W.T. Murden (West Columbia, S.C.) are expectedto push Ehrlich in camp.“I think Parker Hite’s going to push Ehrlich. He’s a veryconscientious, hard-working kid and a great studentwho’s coming into his own. He can actually do some122010 PREVIEWthings better than Bryan when its comes to his feet andrunning. I think there’s definitely a place for him here, andif something went wrong, he could step in and handle itwithout a problem.“Michael Rentz is a kid who came along tremendouslyin the spring and I think he’s grown not only as a footballplayer, but as a person. His maturity level has greatlyimproved and he’s a kid who can execute this offense ifthe need arises.“W.T. Murden is kind of the future of the program in mymind. I want to bring him in here, learn the offense, bevery patient with his development and then eventuallyturn it over to him down the road.”Running BackThe running back position will also see a new starterafter graduating all-SAC selections S.J. Worrell and GeraldLegree, who combined for 1,087 yards and 11 touchdownslast year. With quarterback Brandon Gantt’s graduationand other attrition, the Wolves return just two of lastyear’s 23 rushing touchdowns, and only one from therunning back position.“That’s a tough hit, losing a couple of guys who weregreat tailbacks for us,” Knight said. “It’s going to be hardto overcome, but we have a stable full of tailbacks. Fromtop to bottom, that might be our strongest position evenafter losing S.J. and Gerald.”Two players are poised to pick up the slack and carry theball to support their young quarterback.Lyndon Ingram (Columbia, S.C.) did not see muchaction in his sophomore season, and currently tops thedepth chart.“Lyndon came out of spring ball as our starting tailback.He had a great spring and it’s his job to lose. I have all theconfidence in the world in Lyndon.”Alkeem Sherman (Conway, S.C.) is the leading returningrusher, having carried the ball 45 times for 229 yardsand one touchdown in 2009. He also earned the start inone game.“Alkeem is a bruiser, but he’s got deceiving speed. Hehad some good yardage last season, but coming out ofspring ball, he wasn’t our starter.”A pair of transfers are also expected to bolster the runningback position. Dion Bryant (Crawfordville, Fla.), whocame from Allan Hancock College in California, and MarioCarter (Irmo, S.C), who came from Presbyterian College,will challenge Sherman and Ingram.Bryant was a first team all- Southern California FootballAssociation all-purpose offensive player for AHC in 2008and had over 1,200 yards in his junior college career. Carterwas Presbyterian’s second leading rusher in 2008 behindWorrell, who also transferred to Newberry from Clinton.“Dion Bryant is a new face to us, and he is electric. I thinkhe’s going to shock a lot of people and I think he’s goingto have a great year with us.“Mario Carter got banged up early in the spring, buthe came back strong and really opened the eyes of thecoaching staff in the spring. He’s a very versatile player,who can also do a lot of things from the slot position andin motion packages.”Fullback and Tight EndTight end Connor Hilton (Hickory, N.C.) is the only playerat that position returning from the 2009 season, and hasmainly seen action in special teams and blocking packages.The heady player will be asked to expand his rolein his senior season.Two players will be moving to tight end from the defensiveside of the ball to play fullback in Matt Kingdom(Summerville, S.C.) and Ashton Ornelas (Greenville,S.C.). Brandon Bamberg (Bamberg, S.C.), a transfer fromHoly Cross, is also expected to add depth at the tight endposition.“Connor Hilton is an incredibly smart young man witha great mind for the game of football,” Knight said. “We’llbe relying on him heavily at the tight end position, and Ithink he’ll respond for us because he knows the offenseinside and out.“Brandon Bamberg is a kid that we have high expectationsfor. I think he had a decent spring, but probably notas good as I would like to have seen or as good as he would


like to see. There’s still some question marks when it comesto him, but there’s also several young guys coming in thefall who we will give a legitimate shot to.“At the fullback spot, Ashton Ornelas is a hard, tough kidand Matt Kingdom has proven himself at the linebackerposition, and I think he’ll be another tough fullback. Thereare also some younger kids waiting in the wings that maybe a little bit of a surprise at that position.”Wide ReceiverEver since Tymere Zimmerman stepped on campus in2003, the wide receiver position has been the deepestposition at Newberry. Despite three 1,000-yard careerreceivers completing their eligibility after 2009, the positionis still loaded, with a pair of preseason all-SAC playersreturning and some exciting new players seeing their firstaction this year.Brandon Bostick (Florence, S.C.) was named a first teampreseason all-SAC player after catching 33 passes for 458yards and two touchdowns in 2009.“Bostick is a beast at his position,” Knight said. “It’s aphysical mismatch every snap between that guy and anycorner in our conference.”David Pressley (Anderson, S.C.) is a second team preseasonall-SAC pick after catching 29 passes for 334 yardsand two touchdowns last year. He had 100-yard receivinggames in both the Valdosta State and Austin Peay gamesto start 2009.2010 PREVIEW“I think if David didn’t get banged up a little bit lastseason he definitely would have been an all-everythingcandidate. I think he has that type of potential. He’s atremendous leader and he is definitely a go-to guy.”Joining the all-conference pairing will be an excitinggroup of players who will see action for the first time inthe scarlet and gray.Edward Gilliard (Summerville, S.C.) and Brian Leneau(Sumter, S.C.) have seen limited action in previous seasons,but will get their first chance to truly shine in 2010.Transfers Darien Crawford (Bryceville, Fla.) and MarkishJones (Spartanburg, S.C.) will look to impress at the DivisionII level after starring in junior college.Treginald Wilson (Mayesville, S.C.) and CameronWinchester (Gilbert, S.C.) are also expected to be impactplayers.“We’ve got a lot of depth in the receiving corps. In thespring, Gilliard really proved that he’s going to be a guywe can count on every week. Leneau came out as a starterat the slot position and is a talented kid who will help usevery Saturday.“Darien Crawford has the capability to be a big-timeplayer. I hope he shows up to that, because that’s whatwe’re looking for out of him.“There’s been a lot of hype surrounding Markish Jonesever since he was in high school. He and I both feel thatit’s just been a lot of talk up to this point and it’s time tosee the results on the field.”Offensive LineThe “Roach Patrol” offensive line will once again be oneof the offense’s strong points, with three of the five startersnamed to preseason all-conference honors.Senior center Matt Holmes (Johnston, S.C.) has startedin 20 consecutive games entering the 2010 season andshould be a candidate for the Jacobs Blocking Trophy andGene Upshaw Award in his final season with the Wolves.Holmes earned all-region, all-state and all-conferencehonors as a junior and is widely considered to be one ofthe top linemen in Newberry annals.“Matt Holmes is our leader up front,” Knight said. “Itall starts with him. We’ve been getting it done with himleading the way for a long time and we’ll follow him asfar as he’ll take us.”The two starting tackles are juniors Chase Gamble(Dallas, N.C.) and Ben Inabinet (Irmo, S.C.), who bothearned second team preseason all-SAC nods going intothe 2010 campaign.The three all-conference performers will lead an offensiveline that returns every single player who was inthe trenches for a snap last year, a rare commodity forany team.On top of that, the “Roach Patrol” allowedonly 11 sacks in 337 passing attempts and ranked 22ndnationally in sacks allowed. The team averaged 30.6 passattempts for every sack allowed and ranked second in theconference and 32nd in the nation in total offense (410.1yards per game).“The great thing is everyone’s coming back up front. Welost some tailbacks and are bringing some good ones back,but the key to the whole thing is the offensive line. We feelpretty good about everything - pass protection and runblocking - coming together. With the talent and experiencewe have on the Roach Patrol, there’s no reason in the worldwe shouldn’t be extremely successful on offense.”The linemen also are classroom leaders. Lequawn James(North, S.C.) was a CoSIDA/ESPN the Magazine AcademicAll-District selection as a redshirt freshman and six linemenmade the SAC Commissioner’s Honor Roll.“We’ve got some big guys up front, but we also havesome extremely intelligent men up front. Lequawn Jamesis an extremely smart young man who does well in theclassroom, but on the field he has that unique capabilityto turn into a beast. It’s a great combination.”James and Ben Hyder (Pickens, S.C.) are expected tostart at the guard positions, although a strong group behindthem in Johnny Brewer (Easley, S.C.), Russell Feaster(Rock Hill, S.C.), Kenny Heath (Aiken, S.C.), Sam Mallard(Rock Hill, S.C.) and Walter Simmons (Charleston, S.C.) willpush them for the starting position and could rotate intothe lineup without a drop off in the quality of play13


Defensive LineThe defensive line will look to a pair of senior leaders toturn into a dominant unit in 2010.Defensive end Derrell Kinard (Boiling Springs, S.C.)enters his senior season as a second team preseason all-SAC pick. Kinard led the team with three sacks last seasonand made 27 total tackles. He will serve as one of the twodefensive captains this year.“Derrell is a kid who’s made a tremendous comeback.,”Knight said. “There was a time when he didn’t look verygood, but all of a sudden, he flipped a switch and he’sjust been perfect since that happened. He’s turned into aposter child for our program, both on and off the field. Icannot say enough good things about him. We will winwith him.”Senior defensive tackle Andre Clark (Rock Hill, S.C.) willbe a leader for the interior of the line after making 18tackles a year ago.“I’ve been around Andre Clark for a long time and I amextremely confident in what he can do for us. I trust himwith everything we have on defense. He’s a tremendousleader and we’ll get a lot of mileage out of him this becauseit’s his last go-round and he’s going to do everythinghe can to make sure we’re successful.”Defensive ends Eli Charles (Green Cove Springs, Fla.)and Jason Myers (Kingstree, S.C.) will make an immediateimpact after transferring from Florida State and Feather142010 PREVIEWRiver College, respectively.Arterio Arnold (Greenville, S.C.) will be the young gun ofthe group and Elmano Hamilton (Charleston, S.C.), AlonzoHenry (Marietta, Ga.), Dominique Jacobs (Columbia, S.C.),Brandon McCall (Sumter, S.C.) and Furman transfer AdimObata (Atlanta, Ga.) will rotate in to complete a stronggroup of defensive tackles.“Eli Charles and Jason Myers did a tremendous job forus in the spring. I’m very excited to see those two line upand play for us on Saturdays. There’s no doubt they canimmediately help us succeed.“I’m also really looking forward to seeing Adim Obataand Arterio Arnold at defensive tackle. They are bothrising stars and as far as their development is concerned,the sky is the limit.”LinebackerThe Wolves will have a big hole to fill after the graduationof all-star outside linebacker Andre Moyd, but alsoreturn a crop of strong players and bring in plenty of talentto bolster the ranks.Seniors Josh Williams (Duncan, S.C.) and R.J. Reeder(Spartanburg, S.C.) are both second team preseason all-SAC selections after strong 2009 seasons.Williams was third on the team last year with 49 tackles,including a conference-best 17 tackles in the Carson-Newmangame. He worked his way from a backup role into sixstarts and a preseason all-conference nod.“Sometimes coaches think they’re smarter than theyreally are, and I guess I fall into that category,” Knightsaid. “I moved Josh to the inside linebacker spot from theoutside late, and all of the pieces of the puzzle began tofall into place. He’s a great kid who does all of the rightthings to help our program win.”Reeder was right behind Williams with 43 tackles in hisjunior campaign after converting to linebacker from safety.His versatility will be an added bonus for the team at theoutside linebacker spot.“Reeder moving to the outside linebacker spot waspivotal to our defense’s success last year. I think he dida heck of a job last year. He’s a very versatile player whois very good both in coverage and when he’s blitzing.We can do a lot of different things with Reeder; he’s aspecial breed.”Inside linebackers Apollo Stretch (Columbia, S.C.), JoeSmith (Jonesville, S.C.) and Xavier Wallace (Kingstree,S.C.) also return after strong seasons in 2009.“Apollo is a definite presence on the inside. He’s a hugekid for an inside linebacker and he runs really well andhe’s a very agressive kid. He’s a guy who the rest of theteam will rally around. They like having Apollo on thefield with them.“Joe Smith had a great spring and I really look for him tohave a heck of a season. Another kid who has really comeinto his own is Xavier Wallace. Xavier will be a really goodfootball player for us here in the years to come.”On the outside, returners Kelton Hall (Clinton, S.C.),David Johnson (Elk Grove, Calif.) and redshirt freshmanDominique Walker (Rock Hill, S.C.) will bring experienceand knowledge of the system, while Georgia Southerntransfer J.B. Shippy (Gaffney, S.C.) brings explosive athleticismto the table.“Kelton is one of those special kids kind of like Reederwith a little less experience. You can do a lot of differentthings with Kelton. David Johnson is a guy along thosesame lines. He also converted from a safety spot, so it’sobvious that versatility at that position is key. They willboth contend for a starting job.“Dominique Walker is going to be a kid who reallycatches people’s eye when they come to the games. Heflies around the field and is always looking to make thebig hit.“J.B. Shippy is a true talent who was Mr. Everything inSouth Carolina in his high school days. The first collegegame he ever played in was a start in Samford Stadiumagainst the Georgia Bulldogs, so he’s used to the big gameatmosphere. He’s really excited to be in Newberry and Ithink he will be a big contributor for us.”CornerbackNewberry has been blessed with a large number of


athletic cornerbacks throughout the past few years’ successand 2010 is no different.The group will be led by second team all-SAC seniorKamaal McIlwain (Van Wyck, S.C.). Mc Ilwain was secondon the team in passes defended with 11, including aclutch interception inside the Newberry 5-yardline inthe win at Valdosta State. He is also one of the premierkick-blockers in Division II, having blocked four kicks inthe last two seasons.“Kamaal is just as exicted about his senior season as Iam,” Knight said. “Nobody - and I mean nobody anywhere,not just at Newberry - has a better work ethic than KamaalMcIlwain. Not only is he talented, but when you combinethat with the work that he puts into his game, it makeshim extremely tough to beat.”Charleston Southern transfer and former Division IFCS All-American Phillip Ashley (Tallahassee, Fla.) willbe a massive addition to the squad. Ashley holds thesingle game, season and career records for interceptionsat CSU.“Phillip Ashley’s got the pedigree you’re looking for.He’s an All-American transferring in for his last season.He’s been here this summer training with some of ourkids and looks fantastic. We’re extremely excited to havehim here.”Also expected to see plenty of time on the corners areWake Forest transfer Channing Schofield (Wagener, S.C.)and returner James Bostick (Scotia, S.C.)2010 PREVIEW“Channing Schofield had a great spring with us. Hestarted in bowl games for Wake Forest, so he’s got expereinceat a completely different level than most of our kids,and he’s a guy who could start for us.“James Bostick is a guy who’s worked himself into aposition and now I know we can count on James everySaturday.”SafetyNewberry’s highlight player stars at the safety position,but he will be backed up by a solid group.Ron Parker (St. Helena Island, S.C.) will catch most ofthe headlines for the team after his 2009 South AtlanticConference Defensive Player of the Year performance asa junior.Parker made 83 tackles with six interceptions and 13passes defended, all of which led the team and ranked inthe top three in the conference.“What else is there to say about Ron Parker that hasn’talready been said?” Knight said. “Seeing him go throughall of the turmoil he’s been through in his life and watchinghim explode onto the scene as a junior and become theDefensive Player of the Year and earn all of his accoladeslast year was an absolute pleasure. He is simply the manfor us and I hope all the best in the world for Ron, not onlythis season, but down the road when he’s getting paid toplay for a professional team.”But the safety position will also be manned by a pair oftop-notch players who would also catch headlines if notfor the presence of the All-American. Brooks Burnette(Bonneau, S.C.) and Harry Cabaniss (Greenville, S.C.) willmake their presence known both at safety and on kickcoverage situations.“Brooks and Harry are two guys who I would trust withanything I have in the world. Thos kids will get it done nomatter what. They are simply winners.”Kicking GameNewberry’s placekicker return in the form of Britt Blackmon(Kershaw, S.C.), but four-year punter and kickoff manTodd Moon has finished his eligibility, leaving the dooropen for many players to audition.Blackmon ranked fifth in the SAC in scoring per gameand scored 41 points for the scarlet and gray on theseason. He made over 80 percent of his PAT attempts andtwo-thirds of his field goal kicks. He had a career-long42-yarder made in the game at Wingate.“Britt kind of got into a slump last year and struggled toget out of it,” Knight said. “I’m expecting bigger and betterthings out of him this year and he knows that. He’s ourstarter going into the season, but it’s his job to lose.”Blackmon will be pushed by junior Nick Kinney (GooseCreek, S.C.), sophomore JoJo Morris (Lancaster, S.C.) andShrine Bowl freshman Ruben Perez (Fountain Inn, S.C.).“Nick Kinney and JoJo Morris will battle for the puntingduties and I expect that battle to be neck-and neck. As atrue freshman, I expect Ruben Perez to come in and challengeall of those guys. I’m not too wild about starting atrue freshman like that, but if he proves himself to be thebest one out there, he’ll get the ball.”Return GameNewberry’s tremendous speed at the outside skill positionswill help on special teams as well, giving the Wolvesmany options for kick returners“We’ve got such a good talent base throughout ourprogram that any number of kids could find themselvesreturning kicks and punts for us,” Knight said. “I feel veryconfident with David Pressley returning punts and KamaalMcIlwain returning kicks for us, but it could be any numberof people who have the chance to return on special teamsand help us have a short field to work with.”2010 ScheduleThe always tough South Atlantic Conference schedulewill be augmented by three non-conference games whichshould provide the Wolves with challenges.After opening the season on Sept. 4 against Livingstone,which went 0-10 last year, the Wolves host Valdosta Stateon Sept. 11 and travel to Division I FCS opponent Samfordon Sept. 16, marking the second straight year Newberryplays an FCS opponent.“I think our non-conference schedule is challenging,especially with the likes of Valdosta State and Sanford, andas it always is in the South Atlantic Conference, any teamcan win any game, so it will be tough,” Knight said. “Thefirst game seems like a long time from now, but it’ll behere before we know it and I’m excited. I hope we can ridethe wave of emotion from our winning record last seasonand the wins in the last two games and keep building onthat in the 2010 season.”15

WOLVES IN THE COMMUNITYBeing a member of the Newberry Wolves’ football team carries responsibilitywell beyond the gridiron and the classroom. Newberry footballplayers pride themselves on not only being great examples in athleticsand academics, but also as ambassadors to their community.Throughout the year, the Wolves make it a point to serve the communitythrough multiple off-campus projects. The program is highly interestedin enriching the lives of disadvantaged young people, and many of theirprojects reflect that interest.The Boys Farm is a Christian residential youth care ministry locatedin Newberry, just down the road from the College. The Wolves teamcollected over $600 in donations for the Boys Farm at the 2010 SpringGame. The team also visits the Boys Farm at intervals throughout theyear to interact with the young men, while all of the Boys Farm’s residentyouth can take advantage of a permanent invitation to attend the Wolvesgames and practices as special guests of the team.Another project of choice for the Wolves is an annual summer trip tothe Shriners Hospital for Children in Greenville, just an hour away fromcampus. The Shriners Hospital provides care for thousands of kids withorthopaedic conditions, burns, spinal cord injuries, and cleft lip andpalate, in a family-centered environment regardless of the patients’ability to pay.The Wolves always enjoy the trip up I-385 to visit with children whoexhibit great faith and bravery as they fight through incredibly toughsituations at such a young age. After the team’svisit, it is usually hard to tell if the young childrenor the college students had a better timeduring the visit.The Boys Farm and Shriners Hospital are justtwo major organizations the Wolves serve intheir community. Many players take on projectsin smaller groups or individually to enrichthe lives of others in our community.Many people talk about helping out in theircommunity, but the Wolves football teamleaves no question about their intent. Whileon the field, the Wolves entertain and play towin, and while they are in their community, theWolves are active and responsible citizens.48


THE ORDER OF THE GRAY STRIPEYears ago, real men didn’t eat quiche. Today, real men are leaders. ToddKnight, head football coach at Newberry College ensures his programcreates leaders. Inspired by North Carolina State’s Dick Sheridan’s DiamondClub, Knight has created the Order of the Gray Stripe. The Stripesymbolizes an earned distinction, it designates the wearer as one of theelite, as the “best of the best.”Gray, one of the school colors, was chosen to contrast with the red andwhite uniforms. The stripe runs the length of the helmet and is highlyprized Knight is equally proud of the men who wear the Stripe. “Theyare leaders, on and off of the field,” he explains “They’re well-rounded.It goes beyond athletics, it’s integrity, effort, academics and attitudeas well.”The elite few who wear the Stripe will be immediately recognized byit. “It’s a special reminder of the philosophy of the program,” commentsAssistant Head Coach Todd Varn. “The Stripe signifies character.”Eight men proudly wear the Gray Stripe: seniors Matt Holmes, DerrellKinard, David Pressley, Josh Williams, juniors Chase Gamble, Joe Smith,Apollo Stretch and sophomore Bryan Ehrlich. All of the football coaches unanimously decide to extend the invitation to the Order of the Gray Stripe.Thus far, no one has declined to sign the oath. The students regard it as an honor; their signature equals commitment.Real men not only are leaders, but at Newberry College real men create a legacy. -by Martha Windsor, Newberry College Media Relations2010 ORDER OF THE GRAY STRIPE MEMBERSBryan Ehrlich Chase Gamble Matt HolmesDerrell KinardDavid PressleyJoe SmithApollo StretchJosh Williams49

2009 RECAPSNEWBERRY 31at No. 12 VALDOSTA STATE 24VALDOSTA, Ga. – The Todd Knight era of Newberry College football got off to the best start possible as the unrankedscarlet and gray came back from a halftime deficit to take down nationally ranked Valdosta State University, 31-24, in front of9,217 fans at Bazemore-Hyder Stadium on Saturday.Newberry (1-0) intercepted five passes – four of which were inside the Newberry 25-yardline – to stave off the VSU (0-1;No. 13 AFCA; No. 8 D2Football.com) attack. The scarlet and gray also put up 470 yards of offense and controlled the clockthroughout the game.Senior quarterback Brandon Gantt (Lexington, S.C.) completed 25-of-39 passes for 333 yards with three touchdowns andan interception. It was the 14th time a Newberry quarterback has passed for over 300 yards in a game.David Pressley (Anderson, S.C.) led the receiving corps with 10 catches for 103 yards and a touchdown, while David Smith(Union, S.C.) was not far behind with six receptions for 97 yards and a touchdown. Kelton Tindal (Sumter, S.C.) had fivecatches for 88 yards and a touchdown.On the ground, S.J. Worrell (Madison, Ga.) led the team with 19 carries for 77 yards and what proved to be the game-winningtouchdown.Defensively, the star of the night was senior safety Ron Parker (St. Helena Island, S.C.). Parker totaled 10 tackles to lead theteam and also snuffed out back-to-back VSU drives with interceptions in the fourth quarter.Also recording interceptions were Brooks Burnette (Bonneau, S.C.), Kamaal McIlwain (Van Wyck, S.C.) and Antonio Patton(Woodruff, S.C.). McIlwain recorded four pass breakups on the night and Patton averaged 20 yards per return on three puntreturns.The game got off to a picture-perfect start for Newberry, as the scarlet and gray took the opening kickoff and marched 62yards in seven plays for the season’s first score. Gantt connected with Tindal for a 29-yard touchdown pass on fourth-and-8to give Newberry a 7-0 lead.Newberry extended the lead to 10-0 in the first quarter on an 18-yard field goal from Britt Blackmon (Kershaw, S.C.) with1:01 remaining in the quarter. A 25-yard completion from Gantt to senior tight end Justin Greene (Irmo, S.C.) set the fieldgoal up.Entering the game, one of the biggest stories in Division II football was VSU transfer quarterback Kellen Lewis, who joinedthe Blazers after setting multiple records at Indiana. His hype was quickly deflated as Patton’s interception at the Newberry22 put an end to the first quarter.August 29, 2009Bazemore-Hyder StadiumValdosta, Ga.Attendance: 9,217However, Lewis would turn the tables in the second quarter. Afterleading a drive that ended in a 35-yard field goal from Daniel Anderson,the senior connected on touchdown passes of 52 and 40 yards to giveVSU a 17-10 halftime lead.But the Newberry defense responded with a fire that helped thescarlet and gray score 21 straight points. After forcing the Blazers togo three-and-out on the second half’s opening drive, NC went 56 yardsin five plays to tie the game on a 25-yard Gantt-to-Pressley touchdownpass.On the next drive, the Newberry defense injured Lewis, forcing himfrom the game for the night. Backup quarterback Russ Callaway’s first pass of the night was picked off by Burnette at theValdosta 44, and he returned it to the VSU 30.It only took two plays for Newberry to take the lead for good, as Gantt’s 27-yard touchdown pass to Smith gave Newberrya 23-17 lead after a botched snap on the PAT attempt.Callaway continued to lead the VSU offense and the Blazers were poised to tie the game before McIlwain made a spectacularcatch at the Newberry 4-yardline to record his fourth career interception and end VSU’s drive.After a Newberry punt and a VSU missed field goal, Newberry engineered a 10-play, 80-yard drive that was capped byWorrell’s 1-yard touchdown plunge. A two-point conversion pass from Gantt to Pressley gave Newberry a 31-17 lead.Valdosta State moved the ball well in the latter stages of the game, but Parker’s heroics kept the Blazers out of the endzoneuntil the final minute of the game. The senior safety intercepted a Ronnye Nelson pass at the Newberry 4-yardline on a fourthdown trick play and rescued Newberry on the next VSU drive, coming up with a spectacular leaping pick in the endzone afterVSU had intercepted a Gantt pass deep in Newberry territory.The Blazers moved to within a touchdown with 32 second on the clock on an 18-yard Callaway-to-Cedric Evans touchdownpass, but Pressley fell on the ensuing onside kick to seal the win for Newberry.Newberry limited Lewis to 9 completions on 19 attempts for 148 yards and a touchdown, while Callaway was 14-of-27passing for 171 yards, a touchdown and three interceptions. Nelson threw an interception on his only passing attempt, butscored a rushing touchdown.SCORE BY QUARTERS 1 2 3 4 FNewberry 10 0 13 8 31Valdosta State 0 17 0 7 24SCORING SUMMARYFirst QuarterNewberry - Kelton Tindal 29 yd pass from Brandon Gantt (Britt Blackmon kick), 12:59Newberry - Britt Blackmon 18 yd field goal, 1:01Second QuarterValdosta State - Daniel Anderson 35 yd field goal, 8:40Valdosta State - Ronnye Nelson 3 yd run (Daniel Anderson kick), 4:39Valdosta State - Cedric Jones 40 yd pass from Kellen Lewis (Daniel Anderson kick), 3:08Third QuarterNewberry - David Pressley 25 pass from Brandon Gantt (Britt Blackmon kick), 11:45Newberry - David Smith 27 pass from Brandon Gantt (Eric Goode rush failed), 9:50Fourth QuarterNewberry - S.J.

2009 RECAPSNEWBERRY 23at AUSTIN PEAY 34September 5, 2009Governors StadiumClarksville, Tenn.Attendance: 5,800CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. – The Newberry College football team could not overcome the big play and turnovers as the scarletand gray (1-1) dropped a 34-23 decision to Division I-FCS Austin Peay (1-0) at Governors Stadium on Saturday.Senior quarterback Brandon Gantt (Lexington, S.C.) completed 35-of-47 passes for 335 yards and a touchdown in the loss.Gantt completed his first 10 passes in succession and tied the school record for completions in a game. Junior receiver DavidPressley (Anderson, S.C.) caught 10 passes for 149 yards and a touchdown. David Brown (Goose Creek, S.C.) also caught 10passes, going for 80 yards. Alkeem Sherman (Conway, S.C.) was the team’s leading rusher with six carries for 56 yards.Defensively, senior safety Ron Parker (St. Helena Island, S.C.) once again led the way, making 14 tackles – 12 solo, and 2.5for a loss – and snagging his third interception of the season. R.J. Reeder (Spartanburg, S.C.) made seven tackles and recovereda fumble. Joe Smith (Jonesville, S.C.) forced a fumble and Antonio Patton (Woodruff, S.C.) grabbed an interception.The game got off to a terrible start for Newberry as running back S.J. Worrell (Madison, Ga.) was rocked and fumbled theball. Austin Peay’s Kit Hartsfield (Murfreesboro, Tenn.) scooped up the ball at the Newberry 24 and went untouched into theendzone, giving the Governors a very early 7-0 lead.Newberry drove down the field on the next drive, taking 6:29 off the clock on a 13-play, 70-yard drive, but could not findthe endzone. Britt Blackmon (Kershaw, S.C.) connected from 27 yards out for his second field goal of the season and cutthe deficit to 7-3. However, Newberry felt the score should have been tied on an apparent touchdown pass from Gantt toKelton Tindal (Sumter, S.C.), but the senior signal-caller was called for stepping over the line of scrimmage before releasingthe pass.Austin Peay’s first offensive play of the season got the Govs inside the Newberry 10-yardline as Ryan White (Nashville,Tenn.) carried the ball 41 yards. But the War Party defense held after that, limiting Peay to a 20-yard Stephen Stansell (Athens,Tenn.) field goal and a 10-3 lead.APSU tacked onto the lead in the second quarter after a 9-play, 86-yard drive with Terrence Holt (Nashville, Tenn.) cappingthe drive with a 16-yard touchdown rush.Newberry seemed poised to respond after converting a fourth down on the way to the Governors’ 10-yardline, but Ganttwas stood up on first-and-goal and fumbled on the secondary hit. Austin Peay’s Rocky Dee Peeler (Kingsport, Tenn.) fell onthe ball before it rolled out of bounds to thwart the scoring threat.Peay tried to score again before the half, but Patton’s interception at the Newberry 12 stopped the drive and kept thehalftime score at 17-3.The two sides traded punts to open the second half, although Newberry got to the APSU 15 before being forced back with apersonal foul blocking penalty. Todd Moon’s punt on fourth-and-28 rolled out of bounds at the Peay 9-yardline.On the first play of the next drive, Joe Smith walloped Holt and forced a fumble that Reeder recovered. On the very nextplay, Gerald Legree (St. Helena Island, S.C.) punched it into the endzonefrom 10 yards out to make it a 17-10 game.Penalties killed Newberry on the next drive. Patton appeared to havehis second interception of the game on the drive’s first play, but theplay was called back for a roughing the passer call. Two plays later, afacemask penalty put the Govs inside the Newberry 40. APSU continuedto drive but was stopped at the Newberry 12 and had to settle for a29-yard Stansell field goal and a 20-10 lead.After a Newberry punt, the scarlet and gray snuffed out a Governordrive at midfield when Parker intercepted a third down pass after it wasbatted in the air by Andre Moyd (Andrews, S.C.). It only took four plays for Newberry to convert the turnover into points onLegree’s second touchdown carry from eight yards out, bringing the scarlet and gray to within a field goal at 20-17.Newberry had Austin Peay stalled at third-and-4 to start the fourth quarter, but Holt took the carry 75 yards on the quarter’sopening play. A flag was thrown for an illegal formation against the Govs, but was waved off, making the play standand the score 27-17.Gantt responded with one of the best drives of the night for Newberry, completing all eight of his passes on the way to theendzone on a 10-play, 81-yard drive. The defending SAC Offensive Player of the Week appeared to be sacked as four Governorsattempted to drag him to the turf. Amazingly, Gantt spotted Pressley open in the flat, and the junior receiver caught the passand held onto the ball through a hard hit at the goal line for the score. The PAT attempt failed, making it a 27-23 game.Austin Peay converted three third down attempts on the way to the endzone on the next drive. Trent Caffee (Aledo, Texas)found Darryl Miller (Oak Ridge, Tenn.) in the corner of the endzone from 25 yards out to put the Govs up 34-23 with 4:42 toplay.Newberry drove deep into Governors territory on the following drive, but three consecutive incomplete passes inside theAPSU 20-yardline killed the scoring chances and essentially ended Newberry’s chances at the win. Of Gantt’s 12 incompletionsin the game, seven came in the final five minutes of the game.Austin Peay racked up 371 yards on the ground, with White netting 210 yards and Holt rushing for 152 yards. Newberry hadthe advantage in first downs (24 to 20) and total offense (449 to 462), but only converted on 4-of-7 chances in the red zone.The scarlet and gray were also penalized eight times for 66 yards.SCORE BY QUARTERS 1 2 3 4 FNewberry 3 0 14 6 23Austin Peay 10 7 3 14 34SCORING SUMMARYFirst QuarterAustin Peay - Kit Hartsfield 24 yd fumble recovery (Stephen Stansell kick), 14:44Newberry - Britt Blackmon 27 yd field goal, 8:14Austin Peay - Stephen Stansell 20 yd field goal, 6:35Second QuarterAustin Peay - Terrence Holt 16 yd run (Stephen Stansell kick), 8:04Third QuarterNewberry - Gerald Legree 10 yd run (Britt Blackmon kick), 8:42Austin Peay - Stephen Stansell 29 yd field goal, 4:59Newberry - Gerald Legree 8 yd run (Britt Blackmon kick), 0:20Fourth QuarterAustin Peay - Terrence Holt 75 yd run (Stephen Stansell kick), 14:46Newberry - David Pressley 22 yd pass from Brandon Gantt (Britt Blackmon kick failed), 9:58Austin Peay - Darryl Miller 25 yd pass from Trent Caffee (Stephen Stansell kick), 4:48TEAM STATISTICS NEWBERRY AUSTIN PEAYFIRST DOWNS 24 20RUSHES-YARDS (NET) 30-114 43-371PASSING YDS (NET) 335 91Passes Att-Comp-Int 47-35-0 14-7-2TOTAL OFFENSE PLAYS-YARDS 77-449 57-462Fumble Returns-Yards 0-0 1-24Punt Returns-Yards 3-43 2-12Kickoff Returns-Yards 6-104 5-120Interception Returns-Yards 2-3 0-0Punts (Number-Avg) 4-31.0 3-43.3Fumbles-Lost 4-2 2-1Penalties-Yards 8-66 9-75Possession Time 32:26 27:34Third-Down Conversions 7 of 15 5 of 11Fourth-Down Conversions 1 of 3 0 of 0Red-Zone Scores-Chances 4-7 3-3Sacks By: Number-Yards 1-11 3-14RUSHING: Newberry-Alkeem Sherman 6-56; Brandon Gantt 10-33; Gerald Legree 6-23; Tharry Salley 3-9; S.J.Worrell 2-1; Brandon Bostick 1-0; David Pressley 1-minus 1; Team 1-minus 7.

Newberry had an opportunity to tie the game with2:25 left in the half, but a 34-yard field goal attempt by Britt Blackmon(Kershaw, S.C.) went wide left. Todd Moon (Anderson, S.C.) excelled onspecial teams in the opening half, punting three times, with all of themlanding inside the Bulldogs’ 10-yardline.Trailing at the half for the third straight game, Newberry went on amethodical drive coming out of the break, chewing up 45 yards in 15plays.

2009 RECAPSNo. 16 NEWBERRY 20at CARSON-NEWMAN 23JEFFERSON CITY, Tenn. – The 16th-ranked Newberry College football team came back from an early 17 point deficit, buttwo late Eagle field goals gave Carson-Newman a 23-20 victory to open the South Atlantic Conference season.Newberry (2-2, 0-1 SAC) rattled off 20 straight points, but poor ball security in a constant driving rain doomed the scarletand gray in a gutsy effort. The two teams fumbled the ball 16 times, with Newberry losing the ball five times via the fumbleand Carson-Newman (3-2, 1-0 SAC) turning it over four times on the turf.Josh Williams (Duncan, S.C.) put together a career day on the defensive side of the ball. The senior linebacker made anastounding 17 tackles, forced a fumble and recovered another. Ron Parker (St. Helena Island, S.C.) continued his excellentseason with nine tackles and a pass breakup, while preseason all-SAC pick Lance Clark (Florence, S.C.) made nine tackles,including one for a loss, and notched a quarterback hurry.Offensively, senior quarterback Brandon Gantt (Lexington, S.C.) once again led the way, completing 14-of-33 passes for275 yards and two touchdowns. Gantt has now passed for 1,020 yards this season and 2,412 yards in his career. Kelton Tindal(Sumter, S.C.) was the leading receiver with four catches for 103 yards and a touchdown, while David Brown (Goose Creek,S.C.) had four catches for 56 yards. Brandon Bostick (Florence, S.C.) caught three passes for 63 yards and a score and DavidSmith (Union, S.C.) had three catches for 53 yards.S.J. Worrell (Madison, Ga.) was the leading rusher for Newberry with 11 carries for 37 yards, while Gantt carried the ballseven times for 21 yards and a touchdown.Carson-Newman was led by senior quarterback Alex Good, who rushed 25 times for 203 yards and a touchdown and completed2-of-6 passes for 11 yards and a touchdown. It was the second consecutive season Good rushed for over 200 yardsagainst Newberry. Carlos Lopez broke the stereotype of poor Carson-Newman kicking by single-footedly winning the game,going 3-for-3 on field goal attempts, connecting from 23, 27 and 35 yards out.Defensively for the Eagles, it was the Mario Russell show as the senior safety tied the Division II record with four forcedfumbles, made eight tackles and broke up five passes. No other Eagle had more than four tackles, but Russell’s performancemade up for it.Both sides had trouble adjusting to the torrential rain in the early going, as neither team could generate a score untilLopez’ field goal from 23 yards out on the first play of the second quarter. After the field goal, Newberry fumbled the ballon its own 35-yardline and Carson-Newman converted that turnover into a touchdown in just three plays to take a 10-leadwith 13:00 left until the half.The fumble bug hit both teams following the score, as the teams traded possessions on three fumbles over the course ofseven plays. Carson-Newman recovered the last of those fumbles at the Newberry 35 and took six plays to punch it into theendzone for a 17-0 lead.September 26, 2009Burke-Tarr StadiumJefferson City, Tenn.Attendance: 3,485The Newberry offense continued to scuffle until the last four minutesof the half, but answered quickly after Andre Moyd (Andrews, S.C.)recovered a fumble forced by Marcus Nelums (Columbia, S.C.) at theNewberry 30 with 3:24 left in the half.Back-to-back 7-yard carries by Gerald Legree (St. Helena Island, S.C.)and Alkeem Sherman (Conway, S.C.) gave Newberry a first down forthe first time in the game with about two and a half minutes left. Thesecond first down came in quick succession as Gantt connected withTindal for a 56 yard touchdown pass to cut the C-N lead to 17-7 with2:11 remaining in the half.It was the first time Newberry scored in the second quarter this season, and gave the scarlet and gray momentum as theyreceived the kickoff to open the second half.The offensive efficiency was much tighter for Newberry in the third quarter, with the scarlet and gray taking the openingdrive 79 yards in eight plays to cut the lead to 17-14. Gantt hooked up with Bostick for a 38-yard touchdown on third-and-27after an apparent touchdown was wiped out for offensive pass interference on the previous play.Just two plays later, Newberry found itself on the move again, as Derrell Kinard (Boiling Springs, S.C.) recovered a RickyHarris fumble. After a 38-yard completion from Gantt to Tindal put Newberry in the Eagles’ red zone, the guests kept theball on the ground and took the lead on a 1-yard quarterback keeper touchdown by Gantt. The PAT was missed to make it a20-17 Newberry lead.Good was the catalyst for the next drive, but Newberry buckled down inside the red zone, limiting C-N to a Lopez field goalthat tied the game at 20-all. After Newberry went three-and-out on the next drive, the Eagles drove deep into NC territory,but the War Party defense kept the hosts off the board, stopping Good on fourth down at the Newberry 9.Newberry moved the ball well to get out from the shadow of its own goalpost, but Russell’s fourth forced fumble was thebiggest, as Carson-Newman was able to recover David Smith’s fumble at the NC 32. As Carson-Newman drove into Newberryred zone again, the Eagles fumbled the balls on back-to-back plays with Good coming out of the pile with the ball bothtimes.Lopez was forced into the toughest kick of the day, but drilled the 35-yarder with 37 seconds to play to put Carson-Newmanup, 23-20.SCORE BY QUARTERS 1 2 3 4 FNewberry 0 7 13 0 20Carson-Newman 0 17 0 6 23SCORING SUMMARYFirst QuarterNoneSecond QuarterCarson-Newman - Carlos Lopez 23 yd field goal, 14:55Carson-Newman - Buck Wakefield 8 yd run (Carlos Lopez kick), 13:00Carson-Newman - Alex Good 6 yd run (Carlos Lopez kick), 6:59Newberry - Kelton Tindal 56 yd pass from Brandon Gantt (Nick Toole kick), 2:11Third QuarterNewberry - Brandon Bostick 38 yd pass from Brandon Gantt (Nick Toole kick), 11:08Newberry - Brandon Gantt 1 yd riun (Nick Toole kick failed), 7:05Fourth QuarterCarson-Newman - Carlos Lopez 27 yd field goal, 11:38Carson-Newman - Carlos Lopez 35 yd field goal, 0:37TEAM STATISTICS NEWBERRY CARSON-NEWMANFIRST DOWNS 12 18RUSHES-YARDS (NET) 28-80 59-356PASSING YDS (NET) 275 11Passes Att-Comp-Int 33-14-0 6-2-1TOTAL OFFENSE PLAYS-YARDS 61-355 65-367Fumble Returns-Yards 0-0 1-5Punt Returns-Yards 0-0 0-0Kickoff Returns-Yards 3-49 4-95Interception Returns-Yards 1-19 0-0Punts (Number-Avg) 5-32.4 3-39.7Fumbles-Lost 8-5 8-4Penalties-Yards 5-51 2-19Possession Time 24:07 35:53Third-Down Conversions 3 of 14 3 of 10Fourth-Down Conversions 1 of 1 0 of 1Red-Zone Scores-Chances 1-1 5-7Sacks By: Number-Yards 0-0 1-9RUSHING: Newberry-S.J.

BrandonBostick (Florence, S.C.) was the leading receiver with six catches for 104 yards and a touchdown.Defensively, Newberry sacked Catawba quarterback Cam Sexton seven times and allowed only 176 yards of offense. AndreMoyd (Andrews, S.C.) led the way with seven tackles including 3.0 tackles for loss, 2.0 sacks, a forced fumble and a fumblerecovery. Ron Parker (St. Helena Island, S.C.) notched six tackles, while Brandon McCall (Sumter, S.C.) made three tackles - allof them for a loss. Apollo Stretch (Columbia, S.C.) also made his first career interception.Sexton (Laurinburg, N.C.) was only 8-of-25 through the air for 122 yards and an interception. Antonio Hall (Greensboro,N.C.) carried the ball 12 times for 46 yards and a score and Josh Wright (Raeford, N.C.) also had a rushing touchdown. LakeemPerry (Louisburg, N.C.) led Catawba with 11 tackles and a forced fumble, while Melquan Fair (Raleigh, N.C.) had a 46 yardfumble recovery for a touchdown late in the fourth quarter.Newberry received the kickoff to start the game and a return to the Catawba 44-yardline by Kelton Tindal (Sumter, S.C.)set Newberry up in great position. It took the scarlet and gray 10 plays and 3:19 to traverse that 44 yards, with Gantt’s 5-yardcarry for a score giving the guests a 7-0 lead after a Nick Toole (Barnwell, S.C.) PAT.Catawba responded with a 5-play, 60-yard drive that tied the game at 7-all after Hall’s 4-yard touchdown plunge. The drivewas aided by a 22-yard pass play and a pass interference penalty by Newberry.After the teams traded punts, Newberry drove into the Catawba red zone, but that drive lost two yards and Toole’s 39-yardfield goal attempt was wide left. However, Stretch intercepted a Sexton pass on the first play of the next drive to set Newberryup for a score on an 11-yard pass from Gantt to David Smith (Union, S.C.) on the first play of the second quarter for a 14-7Newberry lead after the PAT by Britt Blackmon (Kershaw, S.C.).Newberry forced a three-and-out on the next drive and then pounded its way to the Catawba 29 before Bryant Vennable(Gretna, Va.) intercepted a Gantt pass at the Catawba 10 on fourth down. The hosts were forced to punt again and the trioOctober 3, 2009Shuford StadiumSalisbury, N.C.Attendance: 3,218of Gantt, Bostick and Worrell led the scarlet and gray to a score on theensuing drive. A 15-yard pass to Bostick was followed by a 37-yard rushby Worrell down to the Catawba 18. After a loss of one and an incompletion,Gantt found Bostick open on the sideline, and the sophomorebowled over Catawba defenders and found the end zone with 3:49 leftbefore the half, giving Newberry a 21-7 lead.Catawba’s offense moved the ball into Newberry territory on the nextdrive, but stalled at the NC 35. On fourth-and-18 for the hosts, AndreClark (Rock Hill, S.C.) made a huge sack to give Newberry the ball at itsown 45 with about a minute and a half left in the period.Three plays later, Newberry found the end zone, with Worrell rushing for 22 yards on the first play. Gantt connected withBostick on a 26-yard completion to the Catawba 7-yardline before taking care of the scoring himself on a run into the endzonethat made it a 28-7 game at the halftime break.A pair of special teams mistakes early in the third quarter let Catawba narrow the lead to two scores. After Newberry heldCatawba to a three-and-out on the opening drive of the half, a block in the back penalty forced Newberry start the drive atits own 11. After Newberry’s three-and-out, Jaspen Gray (Advance, N.C.) blocked the Todd Moon (Anderson, S.C.) punt andJames Collins (East Islip, N.Y.) recovered the ball at the Newberry 2. The blocked punt was the first one Newberry had allowedsince the Wingate game of the 2006 season, a span of 33 games.Wright punched the ball into the endzone on the next play to cut the lead to 28-14. Catawba’s Calvin Hall (Concord, N.C.)intercepted a Gantt pass near midfield on the next drive and Catawba started to drive down the field, but Moyd avoided theoffensive line on second-and-5 at the Newberry 36 and put a monstrous hit on Sexton that forced a fumble, which Moydrecovered himself.The two sides traded punts after that momentum breaker and Newberry distanced itself on the first play of a drive, withWorrell breaking multiple tackles on the way to a 61-yard touchdown scamper on the first play of the drive. The play standsas the longest Newberry play of the season, and Newberry had a 34-14 lead after the missed PAT.Worrell added his second touchdown of the game with 7:04 left in the fourth quarter from one yard out after the drivestarted at the Newberry 7-yardline. Worrell got Newberry out of the shadow of its own endzone with a 46-yard carry earlyin the drive.SCORE BY QUARTERS 1 2 3 4 FNewberry 7 21 6 6 40Catawba 7 0 7 7 21SCORING SUMMARYFirst QuarterNewberry - Brandon Gantt 5 yd run (Nick Toole kick), 11:41Catawba - Antonio Hall 4 yd run (Thomas Trezler kick), 9:24Second QuarterNewberry - David Smith 11 yd pass from Brandon Gantt (Britt Blackmon kick), 14:53Newberry - Brandon Bostick 19 yd pass from Brandon Gantt (Britt Blackmon kick), 3:49Newberry - Brandon Gantt 7 yd run (Britt Blackmon kick), 0:55Third QuarterCatawba - Josh Wright 2 yd run (Thomas Trexler kick), 11:21Newberry - S.J.

Mars Hill’s KeadranPinckney (North, S.C) led the Lions with 10 tackles and a forced fumble, while Maurice Harris (Hendersonville, N.C.) had eighttackles, five of which came behind the line of scrimmage.Newberry got on the board first, thanks to methodical running, a pass interference penalty and a 14-yard completion fromGantt to Tindal that put the scarlet and gray at the Mars Hill 1. Gantt’s 1-yard plunge put Newberry up, 7-0, with 4:55 left inthe opening period after an extra point by Britt Blackmon (Kershaw, S.C.).Mars Hill answered with a touchdown drive of its own, spurred on by a 44-yard Randolph carry that put the Lions at theNewberry 7. The sophomore was rewarded with another carry, which he punched into the endzone to make it 7-6. McIlwainblocked the extra point attempt and tried to run it back for two points, but made it near midfield before being pushed outof bounds.The Randolph train kept rolling into the second quarter, but the Mars Hill drive stalled at the Newberry 31. On 4th-and-14,Richt went for the endzone and cornerback Antonio Patton (Woodruff, S.C.) was called for pass interference after tripping intothe receiver. Four carries later, Randolph found the endzone and gave the guests a 13-7 lead.Newberry marched down the field on the ensuing drive and reclaimed the lead at 14-13 on a 5-yard TD carry by Bostick.Newberry got the ball back with 38 seconds left in the half and a 34-yard pss from Gantt to Bostick on the first play putNewberry in Mars Hill territory. However, the drive ended empty with an interception in the endzone as time expired, leavingthe score at 14-7 at the half.Mars Hill burst out of the gates on the first drive of the second half, taking the lead on a 43-yard touchdown pass fromOctober 10, 2009Setzler FieldNewberryAttendance: 4,777Richt to Smedley on the third play of the third quarter to go ahead, 20-14. Newberry responded with a 13 play, 66 yard drive that benefittedfrom a spectacular 31-yard reception by David Smith (Union, S.C.) on a3rd-and-30 play. Mars Hill intercepted a Gantt pass in the endzone a fewplays later, but the turnover was nullified by a pass interference penaltyon the Lions.With the ball placed at the 2-yardline, Salley punched the ball in forthe score, putting Newberry back up by one point at 21-20. However,Randolph spurred the Lions’ offense on the following drive that wascapped by a 17-yard touchdown carry to put MHC back up, 27-21Darin Baldwin (Florida City, Fla.) made a game-changing play on the third play of the next drive to break serve. Baldwinintercepted a Gantt pass on the sideline at the Mars Hill 44 with 2:17 left in the period. Newberry forced a three-and-out, butthe MHC drive stayed alive after a roughing the kicker penalty on fourth down. The drive rolled into the fourth quarter, andRandolph’s fouth touchdown carry of the night put Mars Hill up, 34-21 with 14:28 left in the game.Newberry went three-and-out on the next drive and Patton intercepted Richt at the Newberry 16 on the next drive to givethe scarlet and gray new life. Gantt completed three short passes to get to the NC 48, and a 27-yard Gantt carry followedquickly by a 25-yard Gantt-to-Tindal touchdown pass brought Newberry back to within one score at 34-28 with six minutesleft to play.But the Mars Hill offense held on to the ball for the rest of the game to drain the clock and win the game. Two Randolphcarries gave the Lions a first down, but a Richt third down incompletion and an MHC false start penalty put the guests inpunt formation at their own 42. But one of the boldest moves in recent memory kept the Lions’ drive on the move as JoshCrumpton (Pickens, S.C.) carried the ball 23 yards on a fake punt on 4th-and-14. Crumpton’s only previous touch of the ballthis season had been a 2-yard touchdown catch against Carson-Newman. Another fourth down conversion later in the driveallowed Mars Hill to hold onto the ball until the end of the game.The loss was only Newberry’s second at Setzler Field since installing the artificial surface prior to the 2006 season. Mars Hillbecomes the first SAC team to beat Newberry on the turf.SCORE BY QUARTERS 1 2 3 4 FMars Hill 6 7 14 7 34Newberry 7 7 7 7 28SCORING SUMMARYFirst QuarterNewberry - Brandon Gantt 1 yd run (Britt Blackmon kick), 4:55Mars Hill - Jonas Randolph 7 yd run (Michael Pinkerton kick blocked), 2:26Second QuarterMars Hill - Jonas Randolph 4 yd run (Michael Pinkerton kick), 11:28Newberry - Brandon Bostick 5 yd run (Britt Blackmon kick), 6:39Third QuarterMars Hill - Demetrius Smedley 43 yd pass from Jon Richt (Michael Pinkerton kick), 13:41Newberry - Tharry Salley 2 yd run (Britt Blackmon kick), 7:10Mars Hill - Jonas Randolph 17 yd run (Michael Pinkerton kick), 3:55Fourth QuarterMars Hill - Jonas Randolph 5 yd run (Michael Pinkerton kick), 14:28Newberry - Kelton Tindal 25 yd pass from Brandon Gantt (Britt Blackmon kick), 6:03TEAM STATISTICS MARS HILL NEWBERRYFIRST DOWNS 20 19RUSHES-YARDS (NET) 49-262 30-91PASSING YDS (NET) 136 209Passes Att-Comp-Int 20-9-1 35-21-2TOTAL OFFENSE PLAYS-YARDS 69-398 65-300Fumble Returns-Yards 0-0 0-0Punt Returns-Yards 1-1 1-0Kickoff Returns-Yards 5-76 6-134Interception Returns-Yards 2--1 1-0Punts (Number-Avg) 4-31.0 5-43.0Fumbles-Lost 1-0 1-0Penalties-Yards 7-56 6-75Possession Time 32:38 27:22Third-Down Conversions 3 of 14 6 of 13Fourth-Down Conversions 3 of 3 0 of 1Red-Zone Scores-Chances 4-4 3-3Sacks By: Number-Yards 3-24 1-9RUSHING: Mars Hill-Jonas Randolph 40-248; Josh Crumpton 1-23; Chappell Rose 3-10; Garrison McDowell 1-0;TEAM 1-0; Jon Richt 1-minus 9; Demetruis Smedley 2-minus 10.

With the win, Newberry moves to 4-3 overall and 2-2 in South AtlanticConference action, while Wingate drops to 5-2 overall and 3-1 in SAC play.Senior quarterback Brandon Gantt (Lexington, S.C.) had a career-high 336 yards passing, with two receivers posting careerdays. Sophomore Brandon Bostick (Florence, S.C.) caught nine passes for 158 yards, and senior David Smith (Union, S.C.) hadseven catches for 142 yards and a touchdown. It was the first time Newberry had two receivers over 100 yards in the samegame since Tymere Zimmerman and Charles Brandon each eclipsed the century mark against Carson-Newman in 2005.Defensively, safety Ron Parker (St. Helena Island, S.C.) had two interceptions in the game, including a 54-yard touchdownreturn on what turned out to be the game-winning score in the fourth quarter. Apollo Stretch (Columbia, S.C.) was the team’sleading tackler with seven tackles, a sack, three pass breakups and a quarterback hurry.As a team, Newberry outgained Wingate, 448-312, with Wingate quarterback Cody Haffly completing 15-of-38 passes for232 yards, three touchdowns and the two Parker interceptions. Both teams converted on all of their red zone opportunites,but Wingate won the turnover battle with four takeaways to Newberry’s three.Newberry received the opening kickoff and quickly got into scoring position after S.J. Worrell (Madison, Ga.) went 44 yardson the game’s opening play, with another nine yards tacked on for a face mask penalty. However, the drive stalled and Newberryhad to settle for a 30-yard field goal from Britt Blackmon (Kershaw, S.C.) to take an early 3-0 lead.The Bulldogs took the lead on the ensuing drive after starting at the Newberry 48. A 25-yard pass from Haffly to ChrisBowden helped the drive along and Vince Jordan’s carry for three yards out gave Wingate a 7-3 lead with less than fiveminutes gone in the game.The two sides traded punts with Newberry pinned at its own 5-yardline following the kick from Phillip Hilliard. The scarletand gray drove down the field with long completions to Smith and Bostick, but once again the drive fell short of the end zone.Blackmon made the score 7-6 following a career-long 42-yard field goal into the wind.After another Wingate punt, the hosts got the ball back after a fumble by Bostick at the Newberry 44. Just three plays later,Haffly found Perry Floyd for a 33-yard touchdown pass to extend the lead to 14-6.Newberry started the next drive at its own 35 and took only four plays to find paydirt, with Worrell’s carry from five yardsout making it a 14-12 game. Alkeem Sherman (Conway, S.C.) scored the two-point conversion to tie the game at 14-all.Wingate reclaimed the lead on the next drive, with the surge capped by an 11-yard touchdown pass from Haffly to Floyd,making it a 21-14 scoreline, which would carry over into the halftime break.Parker intercepted a Haffly pass near midfield on Wingate’s second drive of the second half and Newberry converted twothird-and-long chances before Gerald Legree (St. Helena Island, S.C.) punched it in from five yards out to tie the game at21-all.Neither team could score again in the third quarter and two Newberrydrives into Bulldog territory were killed by turnovers, but it was a bigplay by Antonio Patton (Woodruff, S.C.) that would help push thingsin Newberry’s favor. Patton fielded a punt at his own 11-yardline andmade a weaving run all the way to the Wingate 16 - a gain of 77 yards- before a Bulldog could bring him to the turf. An illegal block penaltybrought the ball back to the 26, but Gantt found Smith in the end zoneon the first play of the drive to give Newberry a 28-21 lead.Parker extended that lead to 35-21 on the next drive, picking off2009Wingate FootballThree-time defending SAC EcholsAthletic Excellence Award winnersHaffly’s pass at the Newberry 46 and sprinting untouched to the endzone for the score. Parker leads the team in both tacklesand interceptions, having picked off five passes this season.Haffly led his troops down the field to the end zone on the next drive, completing the scoring on a 31-yard touchdownpass to Delric Ellington. Kamaal McIlwain (Van Wyck, S.C.) burst through the line on the PAT attempt though, and came awaywith a blocked kick for the second straight game.

2009 RECAPSTUSCULUM 34at NEWBERRY 31October 24, 2009Setzler FieldNewberryAttendance: 3,098NEWBERRY – The Newberry College football team built up an 11-point halftime lead but visiting Tusculum College charged back totake a 34-31 victory from the scarlet and gray at Setzler Field on Saturday.With the loss, Newberry drops to 4-4 overall and 2-3 in South Atlantic Conference play. Tusculum jumps to 2-6 overall and 1-4 inSAC action.Newberry outgained the Pioneers, 404-341, but only gained 59 yards of offense in the second half. The hosts had 345 yards of totaloffense in the first half to TC’s 99, but big plays and a long drive by the Pioneers in the fourth quarter handed Newberry the loss.Individually, senior quarterback Brandon Gantt (Lexington, S.C.) accounted for four first half touchdowns with scoring rushes of 1, 2and 1 yards and a 76-yard touchdown pass to Kelton Tindal (Sumter, S.C.). On the night, Gantt completed 15-of-28 passes for 220 yardsand the touchdown pass to Tindal, but also threw three interceptions - all of which came in the second half.S.J. Worrell (Madison, Ga.) was the leading rusher for Newberry with 20 carries for 74 yards. Tindal had two receptions for 76 yardsand a score, while David Smith (Union, S.C.) had six catches for 66 yards.Apollo Stretch (Columbia, S.C.) was the leading tackler with nine tackles - three of which totaled a loss of seven yards. BrandonMcCall (Sumter, S.C.) recovered a TC fumble that led to a Newberry field goal.Britt Blackmon (Kershaw, S.C.) was a perfect 4-for-4 on PAT attempts and was 1-for-2 on field goal tries, missing a 34-yard attemptin the second quarter and connecting from 28 yards out in the third quarter for Newberry’s only score of the second half.The first half was a polar opposite from the second, with the Newberry offense starting out on fire. A 57-yard completion out of thebackfield from Gantt to Worrell put Newberry at the Tusculum 16-yardline on only the second play of the game, and the first of Gantt’sthree touchdown carries put Newberry up, 7-0, with less than four minutes gone in the game.Tusculum responded in kind with a 32-yard touchdown pass from Bo Cordell (Cincinnati, Ohio) to Nate Binder (Maidstone, Ontario,Canada) to complete a 7-play, 65-yard drive to tie the game at 7-all.Newberry scored again on its next drive, methodically chewing up yards on an 11-play, 57-yard drive that was capped by a Gantt2-yard touchdown plunge to make it 14-7 in Newberry’s favor with 2:21 left in the first quarter.After forcing TC to punt, Gantt connected with Tindal for an explosive 76-yard touchdown on the first play of the second quarter tomake it a 21-7 game.But the first of many scale-tipping plays came at the end of the next drive. Tusculum got one first down before being forced to punt.John Gregory (Ooltewah, Tenn.) blasted a 55-yard punt that Antonio Patton (Woodruff, S.C.) could not contain. He touched the ballin the field of play and it was recovered in the end zone by Hunter Adams (Middlesboro, Ky.) for a touchdown to narrow the marginto 21-14.The Newberry offense seemed unfazed by the mishap and once again drove into the Tusculum red zone, but Blackmon’s 34-yard fieldgoal attempt missed just inches to the right to leave the score the same.After a Pioneer three-and-out, Newberry put together another long drive, trekking 81 yards on 14 plays over the course of six and ahalf minutes, with Gantt’s third touchdown of the evening putting Newberry ahead 28-14 with just 44 seconds until halftime.Tusculum answered quickly though, with two Cordell passes getting the Pioneers down to the Newberry 32 yard line. On fourthdown, Gareth Rowlands (Wales, Great Britain) connected on a 49-yard field goal as time expired to make it 28-17 at the half.From there, Tusculum used big plays to turn the tide in their favor. After aTC punt, Gantt was intercepted near midfield by Miles Washington (Concord,Calif.), who returned it to the Newberry 39. It only took one play for Cordellto connect with running back Marcus Foster for a 39-yard touchdown passto cut it to 28-24.Newberry pulled away slightly in the third quarter after McCall’s fumblereturn into the TC red zone on a failed pitch attempt by Cordell. However, Newberrycould only convert it into three points when Blackmon’s 28-yarder madeit a 31-24 game. The teams traded punts as the game entered the fourthquarter, but a fake punt by the Pioneers helped tie the game as Gregory connectedwith Rashaad Carter (Stone Mountain, Ga.) for a 43-yard pass that putTC inside the Newberry 5. Cordell found Binder in the back of the end zonetwo plays later to tie the game at 31-all.Newberry went three-and-out on the next drive, setting up TC at its own 20 after a Todd Moon (Anderson, S.C.) punt. Newberryappeared poised to hold the Pioneers on third down, but Cordell found Deonte’ Gist (Wellford, S.C.) on a 56-yard completion thatput the Pioneers on the Newberry 23. Newberry pushed Tusculum backwards, but Rowlands put the visitors ahead, 34-31, with a44-yard field goal.The scarlet and gray defense found themselves back on the field quickly, after Antonio Johnson (Olive Branch, Miss.) picked off Ganttat the TC 26 when the quarterback had to launch away a pass under heavy pressure.Newberry once again drove the Pioneers backwards on the first two plays, but Foster busted a 40-yard rush on third-and-19 to keepthe drive alive. From there, a 25-yard completion to Binder and six penalties kept the clock going and the ball in Tusculum’s hands.Rowlands connected on a field goal, but the points were taken off the board on a roughing the kicker penalty. Newberry did keepTusculum from scoring though, getting the ball back at its own 3-yardline after the six minute drive.But it was the Pioneers’ Javon Forsett (Cedar Hill, Texas) who clinched the victory for Tusculum picking off Gantt on the next play tosend TC home with its first SAC victory of the season.Cordell completed 16-of-28 passes for 240 yards with three touchdowns and no interceptions, while Foster was the leading rusherfor Tusculum with 14 carries for 73 yards. Sam Broadwater (North Augusta, S.C.) and Jason Muehling (Calhoun, Ga.) tied for the teamlead in tackles with seven apiece.The loss marks the first time Newberry has lost consecutive games at Setzler Field since back-to-back losses to Lenoir-Rhyne andCarson-Newman to start the SAC slate in 2005.SCORE BY QUARTERS 1 2 3 4 FTusculum 7 10 7 10 34Newberry 14 14 3 0 31SCORING SUMMARYFirst QuarterNewberry - Brandon Gantt 1 yd run (Britt Blackmon kick), 11:09Tusculum - Nate Binder 32 yd pass from Bo Cordell (Gareth Rowlands kick), 8:07Newberry - Brandon Gantt 2 yd run (Britt Blackmon kick), 2:21Second QuarterNewberry - Kelton Tindal 76 yd pass from Brandon Gantt (Britt Blackmon kick), 14:47Tusculum - Hunter Adams 0 yd fumble recovery (Gareth Rowlands kick), 12:35Newberry - Brandon Gantt 1 yd run (Britt Blackmon kick), 0:44Tusculum - Gareth Rowlands 49 yd field goal, 0:00Third QuarterTusculum - Marcus Foster 39 yd pass from Bo Cordell (Gareth Rowlands kick), 8:02Newberry - Britt Blackmon 28 yd field goal, 1:33Fourth QuarterTusculum - Nate Binder 5 yd pass from Bo Cordell (Gareth Rowlands kick), 12:26Tusculum - Gareth Rowlands 44 yd field goal, 7:19TEAM STATISTICS TUSCULUM NEWBERRYFIRST DOWNS 14 20RUSHES-YARDS (NET) 28-21 41-174PASSING YDS (NET) 320 230Passes Att-Comp-Int 32-19-0 28-15-3TOTAL OFFENSE PLAYS-YARDS 60-341 69-404Fumble Returns-Yards 0-0 1-10Punt Returns-Yards 0-0 3--6Kickoff Returns-Yards 5-114 6-111Interception Returns-Yards 3-43 0-0Punts (Number-Avg) 5-46.4 3-41.0Fumbles-Lost 3-1 1-1Penalties-Yards 10-83 10-68Possession Time 25:26 34:34Third-Down Conversions 4 of 14 8 of 15Fourth-Down Conversions 1 of 2 1 of 1Red-Zone Scores-Chances 1-3 4-5Sacks By: Number-Yards 0-0 3-15RUSHING: Tusculum-Marcus Foster 12-36; Jamar Ferguson 7-11; TEAM 1-minus 1; Deonte’ Gist 1-minus 6; BoCordell 7-minus 19.

But it was the Newberry defense that sparked the win as the scarlet and grayheld the Bears scoreless in the second half. Newberry scored 21 unanswered points and limited the Bears to 4 yards of totaloffense in the third quarter to earn the victory.Senior quarterback Brandon Gantt (Lexington, S.C.) completed 12-of-24 passes for 145 yards, but scored two touchdownson the ground with scoring plunges from 11 yards out and 1 yard out in the third quarter.Defensively, Ron Parker (St. Helena Island, S.C.) and Andrew Koszela (Knoxville, Tenn.) tied for the team lead in tackleswith 10 apiece. The duo also accounted for both Newberry takeaways in the game with Parker snagging his SAC-leading sixthinterception of the season and Koszela recovering a fumble that snuffed out an L-R drive in Newberry territory.Britt Blackmon (Kershaw, S.C.) opened the scoring on the first drive of the game as he capped a 12-play, 61-yard drive witha 23 yard field goal to give Newberry an early 3-0 lead. The Bears took the lead on their opening drive as James Pone’s 1-yardtouchdown carry ended an 11-play, 71-yard drive.The lead was extended on L-R’s first drive of the second quarter when the Bears went 48 yards in 11 plays and took a14-3 lead after a 1-yard touchdown carry by Jasper Thomas. Newberry went three-and-out on its next drive, but Koszela’sfumble recovery on the Newberry 34-yardline killed the Bears’ next drive. However, Legree was stripped of the ball just twoplays later and Lenoir-Rhyne took eight plays to find the end zone and Justin Sanders’ 1-yard scoring carry gave the Bearsthe 21-3 lead.Senior receiver Kelton Tindal (Sumter, S.C.) sparked the NC comebackon the next touch of the ball as he returned the kickoff across midfieldand the Newberry drive started at the L-R 33-yardline after a personalfoul penalty. Just five plays later, Gantt scrambled 11 yards to paydirt tocut the margin to 21-10, a score that would carry into the half.2009 Seniors20 09At the break, Lenoir-Rhyne had 212 yards of total offense, but thehosts would only record 48 yards in the rest of the game as the Newberryground game came to life. Newberry’s first score in the secondhalf was set up by a 29-yard carry by Alkeem Sherman (Conway, S.C.)down to the L-R 3-yardline. Gantt punched it in from one yard out tot cut the lead to 21-16 after Blackmon’s PAT missed.The Newberry GameTHE BISHOP’S TROPHY $3.00www.lrbears.comThat score carried into the fourth quarter, but one big play gave Newberry the lead for good. After a Lenoir-Rhyne puntset Newberry up at its own 27-yardline, Legree found a gaping hole on the left side of the line and sprinted 73 yards for thetouchdown. Gantt’s two-point conversion pass to David Pressley (Anderson, S.C.) put Newberry up 24-21.From there, Newberry limited Lenoir-Rhyne to 31 yards and two first downs on its final three drives. An emphatic sack byApollo Stretch (Columbia, S.C.) on the game’s final play sealed the victory and the celebrations in the mud ensued.The ground attack netted 153 yards on 27 carries in the second half to keep the drives alive and the ball moving down thefield en route to the victory.The win is Newberry’s fourth straight and is the scarlet and gray’s 29th win in 75 meetings.

Marcus Nelums (Columbia, S.C.) had a fumble recovery and Brian Spencer (Columbia, S.C.) pickedoff a Brevard pass in the end zone.Newberry has now defeated Brevard in all four meetings between the two schools and has not allowed a touchdown tothe Tornados. The win and 6-4 record gives Newberry its fifth straight winning season, which is the longest stretch of winningseasons for the scarlet and gray since seven straight from 1953-1959 under head coach Harvey Kirkland.Head coach Todd Knight becomes the first Newberry head coach to have a winning season in his first campaign since ReedCharpia led the Indians to a 7-3 record in 1978.

Senior receiver KeltonTindal (Sumter, S.C.) ended his career just two yards short of a milestone with 1,998 career receiving yards.Neither team was particularly effective in the opening quarter of play, with Newberry failing on a fourth-down conversionon the opening drive and fumbling at the Brevard 1-yardline. Newberry failed on fourth down again on its first possession ofthe second half before Moyd turned the tables.Brevard quarterback Michael Crumbaker and fullback Derek Church could not exchange the handoff and Moyd scooped upthe fumble and sprinted to the end zone untouched to give Newberry the early 7-0 lead. Nelums recovered a fumble nearmidfield just three plays into the next drive, but Newberry could not convert the turnover into points.BC took the ball at its own 20 on the touchback from the punt and went 64 yards in 11 plays, putting its only points of theNovember 7, 2009Setzler FieldNewberryAttendance: 3,912evening on the board on Chase Henry’s 32-yard field goal.On the next drive, Newberry only needed 1:40 to go 78 yards down thefield in seven plays to paydirt. The scoring pass from Gantt-to-Smith wasset up by a spectacular leaping catch by Smith at the BC 10 with 8 secondsremaining in the half. The scoring pass with 1.2 seconds remaining madeit a 14-3 halftime lead.Brevard had the best drive of the third quarter, but Spencer’s interceptionin the corner of the end zone kept the Tornados off of the board aftera 10-play drive. Newberry kept that momentum going into the fourthquarter and Gantt connected with Brown from 17 yards out to make ita 21-3 game. Worrell’s 16-yard touchdown carry with four minutes left capped the scoring and sealed the victory for thehosts.Prior to the game, Newberry honored the careers of 23 seniors: Erik Barber (Prosperity, S.C.),David Brown (Goose Creek, S.C.), Jamell Gaines (Rock Hill, S.C.), Brandon Gantt (Lexington, S.C.),Kendall Glenn (Duncan, S.C.), Eric Goode (Chesnee, S.C.), Justin Greene (Irmo, S.C.), Alonzo Henry(Marietta, Ga.), Andrew Koszela (Knoxville, Tenn.), Gerald Legree (St. Helena Island, S.C.), RyanMcClain (Charleston, S.C.), James McLamore (Irmo, S.C.), Todd Moon (Anderson, S.C.), Andre Moyd(Andrews, S.C.), Marcus Nelums (Columbia, S.C.), Antonio Patton (Woodruff, S.C.), Hamilton Sims(Tucker, Ga.), David Smith (Union, S.C.), Bret Story (Cowpens, S.C.), Kelton Tindal (Sumter, S.C.),Nick Toole (Barnwell, S.C.), S.J.

We have joined institutions across 22 conferences and independentsin committing to safe, fun, and entertaining sporting experienceson Division II campuses. We have signed the pledge to create andcontinue family-friendly experiences for everyone.NCAA Division II presidents and chancellors affirm that athletics events should reflect the values ofhigher education and the mission of each institution. Division II emphasizes learning and developmentin a personal setting. As chancellors and presidents, we are concerned about the uncivil behaviorexhibited at college athletics contests and thereby pledge to work together to make respectful, familyfriendlyevents a standard of the Division II experience.108Learn more at www.diicommunity.org
