LIMESTONE COLLEGE
The Limestone College men’s basketball
team returns to the floor this fall looking
for a big improvement from last year.
High expectations are justified considering
the return of four starters and the return of
Darrell Tate to Limestone. Also, the
addition of assistant coach Dennis
Bloomer gives the Saints even more
experience on the bench. With most of the
team intact and another year of experience
under their belt, this year’s squad will look to cause trouble in the very competitive Carolinas-Virginia
Athletic Conference. Last year’s growing pains – the team featured seven freshmen and no seniors – are
gone as roster now features three seniors, two juniors, five sophomores, and four freshmen. Head Coach
Larry Epperly is in his eighth season as head coach at Limestone. The Saints have put together a very
talented group of players for the upcoming season. “We have the people and experience in place,” said
Coach Epperly. “Now we just have to get every one on the same page and working together toward a
CVAC Championship.”
Limestone’s career leader in points, Brandon Shipman, is back after a stellar junior campaign in which
he averaged 17.9 points per game and garnered 2nd team all-conference honors. He shot 48.5 percent
from the field and 41.1 percent from 3-point range. He also shot an outstanding 85.3 percent from the
foul line. This season Brandon will extend his school record for NCAA Division II points which stands
at 1,111 after three seasons. Shipman brings a deadly element to the Saints game with a shooting
prowess second to none in the CVAC. He forces an opponent’s defense to have to extend out, which
opens up the lane for post play.
Brandon’s fellow backcourt mate, Marquintus Jones, is back for his junior season. Jones, a 6’3
sophomore from Denmark, Tennessee, will bring athleticism and defense for the Saints. Jones had a
major scare during Christmas break last season when his car collided with a truck on his way home for
the break. He was hospitalized for several days with neck and back injuries. The Saints thought they
had lost Jones for the season. However, “Q” showed a toughness that few players possess and returned
to the Limestone lineup in a game at Pfeiffer University on January 17, barely a month after his accident.
Jones scored 9 points that night in a loss to the NCAA tournament bound Falcons, but he had earned a
new respect from his teammates and coaches. His leadership and intensity alone will make the Saints a
better team. Jones averaged 12.2 points per game and is also the team’s leading returning rebounder with
4.8 per game.
At the point guard position, the reliable Shawn Poppie returns for his
sophomore season. Poppie led the team in assists, steals, and minutes
played last season as a freshman. His steadiness at the point guard
position earned him the reins of the team early last year and he looks to
continue to improve with three years of eligibility remaining. One of the
highlights of Poppie’s freshman season was on the road against Mars Hill
December 13, when he nailed the game-winning three pointer as time
expired, to give Limestone its first win of the season. Poppie had a great
spring by working out in the weight room and in individual workouts. The
coaching staff looks for Poppie to have another great year.
The frontcourt positions will be filled by senior forward Ben Touchberry
and returning forward/center Darrell Tate. Touchberry had a solid first
season as a Saint after red-shirting the 2002-2003 season. He averaged 9.3
points per game and shot 41 percent from behind the arc. Touchberry is a
tough match-up because of his combination of size and shooting ability.
Ben will also see some time in the Saints lineup at the “3” position when
the team decides to go with a bigger lineup. Tate, a junior from Gaffney
High School, returns to the team after a two-year absence. Tate’s return is
a major boost to Limestone’s roster. He brings size, experience,

LIMESTONE COLLEGE
and skill into the post position. As a sophomore, Tate averaged 16.1
points and 8.4 rebounds per game and was named All-CVAC honorable
mention. A tough inside/outside game makes Darrell a very difficult
player to defend. The Saints will enjoy his return with his aggressive
style of play, rebounding prowess, and toughness.
With a strong returning core and several key newcomers the Saints have
high hopes this season, with a CVAC championship within their reach.

The 2004-2005 team will be as talented as ever in the backcourt.
Shawn Poppie will lead the offense. Shawn’s consistency is what the
team has been looking for at the point guard position. Poppie averaged
5.2 assists per game last season and remarkably led the team in
defensive rebounds. Poppie’s only career non-starting game was the
first game of the season against USC-Spartanburg. Following that
game he started 28 consecutive contests. Poppie’s best scoring night came in a matchup against the
NCAA Division II National Player of the Year from Queens, Spencer Ross. That night Poppie scored
20 points, and had 8 rebounds and played 40 minutes. Poppie finished the season averaging 9.5 points
per game, 5.2 assists per game, while shooting 47 percent from the field and 39 percent from behind the
line.

Poppie will be joined in the backcourt by an experienced group of players. Sophomore Marquintus
Jones is Limestone’s “Mr. Versatility.” He can handle the ball, guard taller players, and rebound the
basketball. Jones scored over 20 points in 5 games last year, despite sitting out 6 games after a car
accident over the holidays left him hospitalized. Jones became an inspiration to the team and upon his
return to the lineup, the Saints reeled off 5 consecutive CVAC victories. Jones flirted with a triple
double November 22 against North Greenville, compiling 17 points, 12 rebounds, and dishing out 8
assists. Jones will continue to use athleticism to get by defenders on the drive and create open shots for
teammates as well as knock down the open 3.

Senior and leading scorer Brandon Shipman will be another huge key to the Saints success this season.
Brandon previously was known as a pure outside shooter, but he has expanded his game and last season
connected on 115 of 213 shots that were inside the three-point arc. But true to his nature, Shipman shot
42 percent from behind the arc as well, on his way to averaging 17.9
points per game. Against Lees-McRae, Brandon scored a career high
31 points, making 10 of 14 shots from the field and draining 7 of 9
from 3-point land. Shipman scored in double figures in all but four
games last season, and he scored over 20 points on 12 occasions
while shooting a team high 85 percent from the foul line. The Saints
look for more of the same from Brandon as he will finish his career as
Limestone’s all time leader in points, steals and games played.
Alex Bailey will be asked to take on a much bigger role for
Limestone this season. Bailey, the all-time leader in made threepointers in South Carolina prep history and former South Carolina
Player of the Year for 1A, averaged 19 minutes per game last year.
This season, he looks to receive more playing time after a very
successful freshman campaign in which he averaged 6.4 points per
game and shot 36 percent from the three point line. Bailey is a deep
scoring threat who will force defenders out. In a game against
Pfeiffer last season, Bailey dropped 18 points on the Falcons, ranked
2nd in the nation, connecting on 4 three pointers. Also at the guard spot will be senior Pat McCormack.
Pat returns after a season in which his fellow teammates named him team MVP because of his

leadership and work ethic. McCormack’s leadership to the
team is indispensable. Adding depth at the guard position will
be Jereme Schmotzer. Jereme red-shirted last season and will
give the Saints solid minutes backing up Shawn Poppie and
Marquintus Jones. Jereme is the son of Coker College head
coach Dan Schmotzer. Competing for playing time will be
Kenny White. Kenny played high school basketball at Spring
Valley High School (Columbia, SC), and played AAU
basketball with the likes of pro players Ed Scott and Rolando
Howell.

FORWARD:
The forward positions may be filled by a multitude of players
this season. Ben Touchberry should get the nod at the “4” spot. Ben averaged 9.3 points and 23
minutes per game while starting 15 games last season. In the season opener against USC-Spartanburg,
Touchberry scored a team-high 23 points and pulled down 4 rebounds. Ben is a difficult matchup for
defenders because he is a deadly shooter at 6’6”. He is also expected to guard some of the quicker
wings and forwards from other teams.
Backing up Touchberry at the forward spot will be two freshmen: Antonio Golden and Jamaal
Dawkins. Golden was a highly recruited player for Georgia powerhouse Creekside High School.
Every starter from his team the last two years has signed to play college basketball. Golden was a team
captain on that team. An all-around athlete, Golden earned 11 varsity letters while at Creekside,
including letters in basketball, cross country, and track. His size and shooting ability give him the
chance to play inside and outside. Dawkins is a local product from Chesnee, South Carolina. He scored
over 1,000 career points at Chesnee, was a 3-time all region selection, and was named all-state as a
senior.
CENTER:
Returning to Limestone is forward/center Darrell Tate. Tate brings a strong resume with him, having
recorded Limestone’s single season rebounding and field goal percentage records as a sophomore. In
the 2001-2002 season, Darrell averaged 16.1 points per game and posted a field goal percentage of 57.5
percent in his first two years. Darrell’s ability to shoot the ball will allow him to play on the perimeter
as well as in the post. In a game against rival USC-Spartanburg in 2001, Darrell scored 24 points and
pulled down 18 rebounds on the way to a Saints victory. Limestone hopes it will see much more of that
as Tate projects to be one of the top post players in the conference.
Colin Pond will see considerable time at the “5” spot. Colin’s strength
and size help him to be a menace in the paint. Last season Pond averaged
3.3 points and 3.4 rebounds per game in only 13 minutes of playing time
per game. In a game against Lees-McRae, in which Pond played his 2nd
most minutes of the season, he scored 7 points and grabbed 10 rebounds
to go along with 2 blocked shots. Also seeing action inside will be
sophomore Bryant Camp. Camp played just 10 minutes per game last
season, but has worked hard this summer and seeks more consistency in
his game. His best game came against St. Andrews last season when he
scored 13 points in 11 minutes to go along with 3 blocks. Sumner
Benton will also help anchor the middle for the Saints. Benton, brings a
different element to the Saints’ post game. He is a wide-body, but has
excellent footwork and has a knack for scoring in the middle. Last season,
against Queens University of Charlotte, Benton matched up with 6’11”
center Moustapha Diouf and had one of his best games, scoring 11 points
and bringing down 10 rebounds for his first career double-double.

Head Coach/Athletic Director: Larry Epperly
As well as serving as the head men’s basketball coach, Coach Epperly is
also Limestone’s Athletic Director. The 2004-2005 season marks Epperly’s
eighth year at the helm of the men’s basketball program. His responsibilities
include all aspects of running a competitive athletic program. Epplery has
also been an integral part of fundraising and increasing booster club
membership. A veteran of the collegiate ranks, Epperly will enter his 18th
season as a collegiate head basketball coach.
Last season Coach Epperly led the Saints to the second round of the CVAC
tournament and big regular season wins at home over nationally ranked
Mount Olive College and Belmont Abbey College. In the past three seasons,
Limestone has finished higher than their preseason forecast by the CVAC
Coaches’ Poll.
A native of Christiansburg, VA, Epperly has been instrumental in the success of Limestone’s basketball
program on and off the court. During his tenure, every player that has finished his eligibility has graduated
from Limestone. Last season Limestone’s team GPA was 3.47. He also sponsors Fellowship of Christian
Athletes events and leads a Bible study group on campus.
Epperly came to Limestone after a ten-year stint as the head coach at the University of South Carolina at
Aiken. There, he also served as assistant athletic director. At USC Aiken, Epperly experienced a great
deal of success. In the 1992-1993 season he led the Pacers to the Peach Belt Conference regular season
and tournament championships finishing with a record of 22-7. His efforts that year earned him Peach Belt
Coach of the Year honors.
After finishing a playing career at Emory and Henry College, Epperly spent a year on staff at Emory and
Henry as an assistant. He then continued his coaching career as an assistant at Ohio University from 19781981. He served as an assistant at the University of Richmond from 1981-1985 under Head Coach Dick
Tarrant, during which time he recruited NBA
star Johnny Neumann. At Richmond, Epperly
was a part of a staff that won two Colonial
Athletic Conference championships, and had
two appearances in the NIT as well as one
NCAA Tournament appearance in which the
Spiders advanced to the second round.
Following his successful stay at Richmond,
Epperly coached on the staff of James Madison
and Virginia Commonwealth University.
Epperly holds a bachelor of arts degree from
Emory and Henry College and a master of
science in physical education from Virginia
Polytechnic Institute and State University. He
and his wife Jenny make their home in
Blacksburg, SC, with their children Tyler and
Elizabeth.

Assistant Coach/Asst. AD for Compliance:
Dennis Bloomer
Dennis Bloomer returns to the men’s basketball coaching staff after serving as the
head women’s basketball coach at Limestone for 16 seasons. Coach Bloomer

having served as a men’s assistant from 1981-1990. He also currently serves the
College as the assistant athletic director for compliance. Coach Bloomer will
assist the men’s basketball program in every phase including scouting and film
breakdown.
A 1985 graduate of Limestone College, Bloomer is the senior member of the
athletic department and has served in many capacities. Bloomer’s first eight seasons at Limestone saw him
guide a very successful softball program, before he took charge of the Lady Saints basketball program.
The softball team won 74% of their games (210-75) under his guidance. Bloomer’s tenure as softball
coach was capped by the winning of the 1989 NAIA District 6 Championship, a Bi-District Title, and a
trip to the NAIA National Tournament.
Bloomer’s career has included an eight-year reign as the college’s athletic director in the 1990’s. In his
time as athletic director, Bloomer oversaw and played an instrumental role in the athletic department’s

Limestone Physical Education Center
Limestone College made a major announcement in the summer of 2004. The College will build a new physical
education center, expected to be completed early in the spring semester. The new facility will offer three
classrooms, nine offices, locker rooms, Athletic Training Education facilities, a fitness center, and a wrestling
practice facility.
Located on Thompson street near Limestone Springs, the facility will be the first new building on the Limestone
campus since the Timken Center was dedicated 30 years ago. The Physical Education facility will give Limestone’s
Athletic Training Education Program the necessary space to meet accreditation standards of the American Medical
Association’s Commission on Accreditation of Allied Health Education Programs, which will allow Limestone
students to sit for the National Athletic Trainers Association Board of Certification Examination.
In addition to the new Athletic Training facilities, the facility will also house a 3,900 square foot weight training
facility which will be a great asset for Limestone’s approximately 350 varsity athletes as well as all other students,
faculty, and staff. Limestone’s wrestling team, which begins competition in the 2004-2005 school year, will have a
practice area in the new building, although the team will hold its matches in the Timken Center.
The Timken Center, built in 1976, is the center of the Limestone Athletic Department, housing athletic offices,
athletic training facilities, and classrooms. The Timken Center also houses Limestone’s basketball arena, a 1,500 seat
facility that hosts men’s and women’s basketball games as well as volleyball and wrestling matches. Limestone’s
junior Olympic sized pool is also located inside the Timken Center. Home to the Lady Saints Swimming Team, the
pool features an 800 square foot observation balcony coupled with 2,500 square feet of deck space.

The recently remodeled Emmie Evans Rector Tennis Center is one of
the top facilities in the Carolinas-Virginia Athletic Conference. The

Saints Field was given a face-lift this summer. Limestone’s game
field for men’s and women’s soccer as well as men’s and women’s
lacrosse was completely resurfaced and a full-size practice field was
added immediately adjacent to it. In addition, the Saints also enjoy
the use of three other practice fields
Limestone’s athletic facilities also include a baseball and softball field
complex. Bob Prevatte Field plays home to the baseball team while
Lady Saints Softball Field hosts Jimmy Martin’s squad.
ABOUT THE
CAROLINAS-VIRGINIA
ATHLETICS CONFERENCE
The Carolinas-Virginia Athletics Conference is a NCAA Division II athletic conference made up of 11 schools from
North Carolina and South Carolina. These schools include: Anderson College, Barton College, Belmont Abbey
College, Coker College, Erskine College, Lees-McRae College, Limestone College, Mount Olive College, Pfeiffer
University, Queens University of Charlotte, and St. Andrews Presbyterian College.
Each of the twelve CVAC sports has a season-ending tournament that leads to automatic NCAA qualification in
Mens Basketball, Women's Basketball, Softball, and Volleyball and NCAA regional selection opportunities in
Women's Cross Country, Men's Cross Country, Women's Soccer, Men's Soccer, Golf, Women's Tennis, Men's
Tennis, and Baseball.
CVAC Commissioner Dr. Alan Patterson says this about the conference, "The Carolinas-Virginia Athletics
Conference is recognized regionally and nationally as a premier NCAA Division II conference which
champions scholarship athletics working in concert with student athletes committed to academic
success."
The CVAC has roots in the Old North State Conference formed in 1938. The name changed
to the Carolinas Conference with the first inclusion of South Carolina members, and in 1994
became the CVAC as Virginia membership was included and championship play was shifted to
NCAA Division II.

Curtis Administration Building
Limestone College was established in 1845 by Dr. Thomas Curtis and his son, Dr.
William Curtis, distinguished scholars born and educated in England. Limestone
College was the first woman’s college in South Carolina and one of the first in the
United States.
In the late 1960s, Limestone College became fully coeducational. The campus is a
unique combination of history and progress, with nine of our campus buildings
included on the National Register of Historic Places.
Since 1991, Limestone College has completed
renovations of several of its historic campus structures:
the Montgomery Classroom Building, Ebert Residence
Hall, Carroll Fine Arts Building, Hamrick Hall of
Science, Eunice Ford Residence Hall, and Dixie Lodge
Student Center. While the College’s ties to the past are
visible in the many historic structures, these renovated
facilities now house the modern technology necessary to
maintain Limestone’s reputation as an outstanding
liberal arts college.
Dixie Lodge
Limestone College is an accredited, independent, coeducational, four-year liberal arts
institution chartered by the state of South Carolina. Limestone is a nondenominational Christian college. Our programs lead to a Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor
of Science, Bachelor of Social Work, or
Associate of Arts degree.
Today, Limestone College enrolls
approximately 600 students in its day
program and approximately 2,000 in the
Block Program (located at various sites
throughout South Carolina) and Virtual
Campus Program (Internet Courses)
combined.
