2010
2007 Preview
Overview
The Lenoir-Rhyne Football Team made
its biggest leap forward last season under
fourth-year mentor Fred Goldsmith.
The Bears improved their record for the
second straight season as they jumped
from 3-8 in 2008 to 5-6 last year.
However, L-R could have easily won a
few more contests and proved it can go
toe-to-toe with every team in the South
Atlantic Conference.
With at least seven starters back on both
the offensive and defensive units, LenoirRhyne’s goal of a winning season for the
first time since 1994 could be very much
realized in 2010.
Offense
Lenoir-Rhyne’s run-heavy offense
continues to put up prolific numbers. Last
year, L-R rushed for its most yards since
1975 as it averaged 294.3 per contest. That
number ranked second in the nation.
A lot of the Bears’ rushing success can
be attributed to the performance of their
offensive line.
The unit, one of the strongest on the
squad, needs to replace two starters but
welcomes back junior right tackle Chandler Rearden (Greenwood, S.C.).
Rearden took a medical redshirt last year
and looks to return to his 2008 form which
saw him earn First-Team All-South Atlantic Conference honors. A healthy return by
Rearden would help the Bears’ prospects
immensely.
L-R also brings back senior center Chad
Thacker (Burlington, N.C.) and senior
right guard Everett Tucker (Brunswick,
Ga.).
Thacker has been a starter since the middle of his freshman season and shouldn’t
have any problems moving from left tackle
to center and replacing all-league honoree
Harrison Smith.
Tucker, meanwhile, played admirably
in his first season on the offensive line in
2009 after moving from the defensive side
of the ball.
Senior Jamie O’Briant (Durham, N.C.)
takes over at left tackle and there is a good
battle brewing at left guard between sophomore Kaleb Myrick (Loganville, Ga.) and
sophomore Parker Murray (Ninety Six,
S.C.).
Junior fullback Byron Darby led L-R in
rushing yards last year with 651 while
averaging 7.2 yards per carry and earning
preseason all-league honors in 2010.
Although L-R’s offense has undoubtedly
increased its production over the last few
years, the team still feels it needs a stronger
passing attack for better balance.
The Bears are looking for their receivers
to step up and are counting on junior Nick
Stutts (Statesville, N.C.) and sophomore
Artis Gilmore (Asheville, N.C.) to take the
lead. Both players could start this season.
Stutts finished second on the squad
last year in catches (nine) and yards (153)
and has a dependable set of hands. Stutts
is also in position to see his production
increase this fall and the Bears would surely
take advantage of it.
Gilmore showed flashes of potential last
season and should play more consistently
in 2010 with a year under his belt.
Keep in eye on junior Justin McCombs
(Newton, N.C.), an athletic wideout who
has game-breaking ability.
Senior tight end Devan Pointer (Burlington, N.C.), who led L-R in receptions
(15) and yards (186) last season, is the most
experienced receiver back and enters this
year as a First-Team Preseason All-SAC
honoree.
6
The backfield is once again filled with
depth, talent and experience. The halfback
tandem of seniors James Pone (Wilson,
N.C.) and Andrew Courman (Beaufort,
N.C.) can match up with anyone in the
league.
Both players have rushed for over 1,000
yards in their careers and were impressive
last year with each averaging over seven
yards a carry.
Courman, who finished third on the
squad in 2010 with 544 yards rushing and
four touchdowns, was named to the allleague preseason second team.
L-R is also set a fullback with junior
Byron Darby (Gastonia, N.C.). One of
the fastest players on the squad, Darby
led the Bears in rushing yards (651) while
averaging 7.2 yards per carry and scoring a
team-high five touchdowns. Darby, an all-league preseason honoree
as well, has the ability to become one of
the most formidable runners in the league.
Despite this, junior fullback Le’Quan
McCorkle (Sherrills Ford, N.C.) has
surged to the top of the depth chart and is
battling Darby for the top spot.
Junior halfback Jasper Thomas (High
Point, N.C.) and sophomore halfback
Anthony Thwaites (Mooresville, N.C.)
may all be listed as second on the depth
chart but should see a lot of playing time
with Lenoir-Rhyne’s penchant for rotating
running backs.
For the first time since 2005, LenoirRhyne will not have the services of Justin
Sanders behind center but are confident
junior Major Herron (Kingsland, Ga.) can
take over the starter’s spot full time.
Herron has seen a lot of action in his
first two years with L-R and his dual-threat
ability works well in the Bears’ system.
Waiting in the wings is sophomore Reuben Haynes (Commerce, Ga.), a promising young player whose strength comes in
his ability to run.
Haynes averaged close to seven yards a
carry last year and will battle Herron at the
outset of preseason camp.
Keep an eye on redshirt freshman
Jacob Copeland (Palmetto, Ga.), who has
become a strong candidate at the No. 3
quarterback spot.
2010
2007 Preview (cont.)
Defense
Just as the offense took a giant step
forward two years ago, the defense did
likewise last season.
As a whole, Lenoir-Rhyne’s defense
played as well as it has in recent memory
and looks to continue its ascension in 2010.
Despite the loss of Michael Green, the
secondary looks like a strong point for the
Bears entering camp.
Senior safeties Marcus Shuford (Newton, N.C.) and Carl Brooks (Raleigh, N.C.)
are both entering their fourth years as
starters.
Shuford, a First-Team All-SAC honoree,
led the squad in tackles last season at his
free safety spot with 76 and has developed
into one of the best players in the league.
Brooks, the strong safety, is all about
production and last year was no different as he finished with 47 tackles and two
interceptions. Brooks was honored with a
spot on the preseason all-league squad.
Senior Cam Thompkins (Sanford,
Fla.) moves over to safety after playing
his first two years as a cornerback and
gives the Bears experience in the secondary. Thompkins tied for the team lead in
interceptions with three in 2009.
Junior Jamont Jones (Washington, N.C.)
had a coming-out party for the Bears last
season in his first year as a starter at one
of the cornerback spots. Jones (39 tackles
and an interception) still has a lot of upside
and could be looking at a breakthrough
campaign in 2010.
Junior LeBrandon Banner (WinstonSalem, N.C.) or Justin McCombs
(Newton, N.C.) is expected to take over the
cornerback position vacated by Green in
2010.
Banner played sparingly last season while
McCombs moves over to the defensive
side of the ball after playing wide receiver.
The linebacker corps remains intact and
the Bears expect to see marked improvement from the group.
Junior outside linebacker Richard
Walker (Loganville, Ga.) anchors the trio
after garnering preseason all-conference
accolades.
Walker totaled 41 takedowns last year
and the coaches think he can establish himself as one of the best defensive players on
the squad.
Probable Starting Lineup
Junior defensive lineman Nelson Bullard
earned All-SAC Preseason Second-Team
honors this fall after tallying 32 tackles and
2.5 pass break-ups in 2009.

Manning the other outside linebacker
position will be sophomores Chris Carter
(Jamestown, N.C.) or Cle-Artiss Davis
(Miramar, Fla.). Both players were pleasant
surprises last year as freshmen and should
continue to improve.
Both inside linebackers return as well
in senior Victor Nito (Douglas, Ga.) and
sophomore Demetrius Green (Cedartown, Ga.).
Nito came into his own last year and finished second on the team in tackles with 63
while Green took over in the latter half of
the year and ended up with 32 takedowns.
Green is another young player with a lot of
promise.
The defensive line will get a makeover
with the loss of seniors Scottie Armstrong
and Keonte Davis but do have some talent
waiting in the wings.

2007 Preview (cont.)
Junior Nelson Bullard (Shelby, N.C.)
stepped in right away last season at defensive end and made his presence known.
Bullard (32 tackles) earned all-league
preseason accolades in 2010 and looks to
anchor a young unit.
Two other sophomores – Brandon
Martin (Roebuck, S.C.) and Jason Arenillas (Hollywood, Fla.) – look to fill the void
left at defensive tackle and nose guard,
respectively, for the Bears. Both players
enter their third year with the program and
should be ready to go.
Junior Mike Harold (Newton, N.C.)
and sophomore Evan Black (Stone Mountain, Ga.) give the Bears depth on the line.
Special Teams
Lenoir-Rhyne needs to replace its punter
(Matt Corbin), but welcomes back two-year
starter Colin Corpe (Ocala, Fla.), a junior
placekicker, and return man Jamont Jones.
Corpe hopes to return to his freshmanyear form in which he earned All-SAC
First-Team accolades while Jones is knocking on the door for all-league recognition.
Jones is effective at returning both kickoffs (28.2-yard average and one score) and
punts but the Bears will also lean heavily
on Artis Gilmore for a two-pronged attack.
Gilmore returned a kickoff for a touchdown last season as well.
Freshman Spencer Linquist (Newton,
N.C.) might get the nod at punter but L-R
will also look at Corpe or Major Herron.
Schedule
For the fourth straight year, LenoirRhyne hosts six games at Moretz Stadium
including the first three contests of the
season.
L-R welcomes Chowan (August 28),
Concord (September 4) and Davidson
(September 11) before traveling to North
Greenville (September 18) for its first road
contest of the year.
Lenoir-Rhyne hosts Mars Hill on Homecoming October 9, and closes out the
regular season at Moretz Stadium against
long-time rival Catawba on November 13.
The Bears’ toughest road task may take
place on November 6, when they travel to
Jefferson City, Tenn., to face the Eagles
of Carson-Newman. The Eagles finished
11-3 last year, won the SAC Championship
and advanced to the national semifinals.

Athletic Administration
Neill McGeachy
Director of Intercollegiate Athletics
Under the dynamic leadership of Neill
McGeachy over the past eight-and-a-half years, the
intercollegiate athletics program at Lenoir-Rhyne
has enjoyed tremendous growth and new energy.
He is foremost known for his creative promotions
and marketing expertise; however, the skills he
brings to L-R and intercollegiate athletics are much
broader.
He adroitly serves in a unique blending of two
roles, as Director of Intercollegiate Athletics and as
Executive Director of the Piedmont Educational
Foundation/Bears Club, the official fundraising
arm of the L-R Department of Athletics.
According to McGeachy, “We honor the past,
we compete in today and we look to the future.”
His involvement of all constituents – students,
alumni, corporate, Hickory metro community,
public school systems, emergency services, civic
organizations, YMCA, Catawba Valley Medical
Center and Frye Regional Medical Center – in a
collaborative effort with athletics has enhanced
Lenoir-Rhyne’s overall growth and retention efforts.
In the process, new streams of revenue have
been identified and introduced. They include: expanded radio broadcast sponsorships, Affinity and
Corporate partnerships, the PEF/Bears Club Gala,
and the Lenoir-Rhyne/Moretz Sports Championship Series.
In his first year in 2002, he was instrumental
in helping increase football season attendance
two-fold (13,958 to 28,625) which led the NCAA
Division II nationally in percentage of improvement that year. In addition, Lenoir-Rhyne has led
the South Atlantic Conference seven of the past
eight years in attendance.
In 2007, his negotiating skills initiated athletic
experiences with two prominent No. 1 nationallyranked powerhouses.
In September of 2007, the Bears played Appalachian State University, a 76-year rival, for the first
time since 1982. Sixty-one days later, L-R played
the University of North Carolina in basketball for
the first time since 1949.
Both schools were ranked No. 1 in the country
at the time of their meeting. A combined 47,159
fans witnessed these two special contests.
Lenoir-Rhyne University also visited the University of Texas in Austin for three straight years from
2004 to 2006 and played Duke in storied Cameron
Indoor Stadium in November of 2008.
Examples of literal metaphors that his vision
has inspired include additions of The Front Porch
and The Charge (12-foot, 2,100 pound bronze bear
icon).
In his first eight years, eight sports have been
added to Lenoir-Rhyne University athletics – men’s
and women’s tennis, men’s and women’s track and
field, men’s and women’s swimming and men’s
and women’s lacrosse – bringing the total current
number to 20 sports.
This strategy is a concerted effort to continue to
offer attractive opportunities – both academic and
athletic – that will grow the university’s enrollment
base. The plan is working.
He has utilized his sports and coaching background to finesse the operations of these team
sports by hiring gifted and quality coaches, developing team marketing opportunities, and providing
academic tutoring for student athletes.
With rapid expansion in the number of studentathletes (a 44% increase over a seven-year period),
he has been instrumental in the establishment of a
master land plan for athletics.
New features accomplished this recently include
the addition of the Moretz Sports – Athletic
Complex including soccer field, the Irwin Belk
track, softball and baseball lighting along with new
scoreboards.
Assisted by his dedicated and talented staff, all
this activity has made a dramatic impact.
Recent successes include the men’s soccer team
finishing with a record 19-1-1 and a final ranking
of No. 5 in the nation while winning the conference tournament, the third title in school history.
Women’s softball, 233-58-1 the past five years,
has succeeded in winning the South Atlantic
Conference Regular Season Championship for four
times in five years and participated in the NCAA
regionals six times since 2002. The softball team
also went a school-best 53-9 last year and has
hosted the regionals the past two seasons. The L-R
Baseball Team won a school-record 35 games in
2007.
In addition, men’s basketball won league titles in
2002-03, 2003-04, 2005-06, 2007-08 and 2008-09
and made four trips to the NCAA Division II
Playoffs as well (2003, 2004, 2008 and 2009). The
L-R Women’s Basketball Team produced one of
its greatest seasons in school history in 2008-09,
tallying a 27-5 record and winning both the SAC
Regular Season and Tournament Titles. Last year,
the Bears repeated as league champions.
The Bears hosted the 2009 NCAA Division II
Southeast Regional Tournament and were the No.
1 seed while returning to the playoffs in 2009-10
The women’s basketball team also won the
2003-04 regular season title and was conference
tournament champions in 2003.
19
The volleyball team captured its second league
title in three years in 2006 and advanced to the SAC
tournament finals.
Men’s cross country finished second in the
conference four straight years (2003-06) and again
in 2009 while the women’s cross country won backto-back South Atlantic Conference Championships
in 2008 and 2009. Women’s golf captured league
titles in 2003 and 2004 and men’s golf tied for third
at the SAC Championship in 2009 after winning it
in 2006.
Lenoir-Rhyne produced four All-Americas in 200910: one in women’s cross country, one in women’s
soccer and two in softball.
From 1997 to 2002, McGeachy served as director of marketing with the United States Tennis Association (USTA) Southern Section in Atlanta, Ga.
Prior to the USTA, McGeachy was founder and
president for 20 years of Sugar Creek Enterprises,
Inc. a sports promotions company with offices in
Winston-Salem and Charlotte.
Several early men’s basketball coaching stints
included assistant to Terry Holland at Davidson
College for two years, helping lead the Wildcats to
two conference championships. After Davidson
College in 1971, McGeachy became Duke’s freshmen basketball coach then was elevated to top
assistant before becoming head coach in 1973-74.
Following his time at Duke, he coached two years
at Wake Forest University as an assistant. The
Deacons won back-to-back Big Four Tournament
titles while McGeachy was there.
A 1965 graduate of Lenoir-Rhyne, McGeachy
was a three-sport standout for the Bears in football,
basketball and track. In 1987, he was inducted into
the Lenoir-Rhyne Sports Hall of Fame. McGeachy
was also inducted into the North Carolina Tennis
Hall of Fame in 1999.
“For the excellence of his activities in and
connected with North Carolina Tennis which have
brought substantial recognition and esteem to
himself and to the state.”
Born in Charlotte, N.C., McGeachy grew up
in Statesville N.C. He is also the proud father of
Roderick (Morehead Scholar at UNC Chapel Hill
and MBA graduate of Harvard’s Business School)
and Ashley (15-year sports writer/columnist for
publications such as Sports Illustrated, Louisville’s
Courier-Journal and currently the Philadelphia
Inquirer.).

Post-Season Awards
Unsung Hero – Dewayne Jones (Defense)
& Chad Thacker (Offense)
All-League Honorees
Two players earned All-South Atlantic Conference honors for the Bears in 2009: junior
defensive back Marcus Shuford (Newton, N.C.)
and senior offensive lineman Harrison Smith
(Clayton, N.C.).
Shuford led L-R in tackles in last year with
76 to go along with six pass break-ups, one
interception, one forced fumble and one fumble
recovery. Shuford, a two-time all-league honoree, has accumulated 230 takedowns and nine
interceptions so far in his Lenoir-Rhyne career
at his free safety spot.
Smith, the team’s center past three seasons,
helped anchor an offensive line that finished
second in NCAA Division II in rushing last year
with 294.3 yards per outing. In addition, Smith
was named to the ESPN The Magazine Academic All-District III College Division Team.
Rushing Prowess
As mentioned earlier, the Bears finished second in the country in rushing last year (behind
Carson-Newman) and averaged its most rushing
yards on the ground since the 1975 campaign.
In addition, eleven different players scored on
the ground for L-R in 2009.
Conference Leaders
Lenoir-Rhyne led the South Atlantic Conference last fall in fourth-down conversions (60.9)
and time of possession (32:38).
The 2009 campaign marked the final season
for Justin Sanders (No. 12) and Harrison
Smith (No. 60), a second-team all-league
pick last season.
Finally, Lenoir-Rhyne lost to Newberry, 2421, on October 31, after holding a 21-3 lead in
the second quarter.
Special Teams Special
Two players - Jamont Jones (Washington,
N.C.) and Artis Gilmore (Asheville, N.C.) earned SAC Special Teams Player-Of-The-Week
honors last season.
Jones returned a kickoff 90 yards for a
score against Concord (Sept. 5) while Gilmore
returned a kickoff 89 yards for a touchdown
versus Tusculum (Oct. 3) which helped both
win the award.

Conference Statistics
History
The South Atlantic Conference is a group
of 10 church-related colleges and universities
of similar size and athletic philosophy.
Entering its 22nd year as an all-sports confererence and 18th as a member of NCAA
Division II, the league continues to grow
as one of the premier small-college athletic
conferences in the nation.
The SAC has made great strides since
becoming eligible for NCAA Division II
postseason play in July 1993.
The league was founded in 1975 as a
football-only conference. Kurt Brennerman, of Greensboro, N.C., won a contest to
name the league, being the first to submit the
SAC-8 name. The conference held the SAC-8 moniker
until 1989, and evolved into what is the South
Atlantic Conference today.
Leading the South Atlantic Conference is
newly-appointed commissioner Patrick Britz,
who is just the second commissioner in the
conference’s history.

The Glory Years: 1955-62
Overview
1959 (10-1)
In ’59, L-R rolled through the regular season
at 9-0 before dominating Southern Connecticut,
47-20, in the NAIA Eastern Championship
game on Dec. 5, 1959.
However, Lenoir-Rhyne’s title hopes fell in
a 20-7 loss to Texas A&I on Dec. 12, 1959, in
Saint Petersburg, Fla.
The ’59 squad was one of the Bears’ best
ever. L-R was ranked No. 1 in the country
throughout the regular season and outscored its
opponents, 336-96.
L-R’s football history is filled with tradition,
winning and many memorable moments.
However, an eight-year period beginning in
1955 and concluding in 1962 is an era of Bear
football which truly separated the program from
its peers.
During the stretch, Lenoir-Rhyne compiled
an incredible 76-6-4 mark for an astounding
.907 winning percentage.
This type of run ranks up with an college
football program - at any level, NCAA or NAIA
- of all time.
To put it in another perspective, the Bears
averaged less than one loss per season during the
span.
By The Numbers
Here is a look at several things L-R accomplished over those eight years:
• One NAIA National Championship (1960)
• Three NAIA National Championship appearances in four years (1959, 1960 and 1962)
• Three seasons without a loss (1955, 1956 and
1960)
• Eight straight conference titles
True Road Warriors
The most impressive thing about LenoirRhyne’s eight-season run may have been its
record on the road.
Consider this, of the 10 losses or ties L-R did
have during the span, only three were away from
College Field/Moretz Stadium (two defeats and
one tie).
In fact, both losses were in the NAIA National Championship game!
The Bears were 34-4-3 (.866) at home compared to 42-2-1 (.944) on the road.
More Road Stuff: The Streaks
L-R put together a 25-game road unbeaten
streak (24-0-1) before losing in the ’59 NAIA
National Title game.
Not to be outdone, the Bears followed with
an 18-game winning streak away from home
which ended in the ’62 NAIA National Championship game.
The Tiebreaker
One of the most memorable games in
Lenoir-Rhyne history took place on Dec. 3,
1960, at College Field when the Bears hosted
Northern Michigan in the NAIA Eastern
Championship game.
The game concluded with a 20-20 tie thanks
to some late game heroics by L-R.
The Bears’ Tony McClamrock hit Marcus
Midgett on a 38-yard scoring pass with under a
minute to play to tie it.
According to NAIA regulations, the criteria
Clarence Stasavich was Lenoir-Rhyne’s
Head Coach from 1946 to 1961 and compiled a 120-37-7 (.777) record.
for breaking a tie is total yardage.
Nearly 6,500 people huddled around the
press box right after regulation to await the announcement.
After numerous retotals, a winner was
declared: Lenoir-Rhyne. The Bears out-gained
Northern Michigan by 25 yards: 294 to 269.
1962 (11-1)
This squad, the first under Bear mentor
Hanley Painter, will go down as one of the best
defensive teams in program history.
L-R won all 10 of its regular season games
and gave up just 61 points (6.1 per game) all
year. The defensive performance included four
consecutive shutouts with five all total.
Lenoir-Rhyne smothered Northern State
(South Dakota) in the NAIA Eastern Playoff
Championship, 20-7, on Dec. 2, 1962, at home
before falling to No. 1-ranked Central Oklahoma State, 28-13, in the Camellia Bowl (Dec. 8,
1962) in Sacremento, Calif.
The Perfect Season
The 1956 team (10-0) was the only squad in
school history with a perfect campaign.
All-American Times Two
During the dynasty, four players received
All-American honors not once but twice: Harold
Bullard (1956-57), Lee Farmer (1959-60), Dick
Lage (1959-60) and Richard Kemp (1961-62).
The National Championship
Lenoir-Rhyne’s first and only National Championship came on Dec. 10, 1960, when the
Bears defeated Humboldt State (Calif.), 15-14, at
the Holiday Bowl Stadium in Saint Petersburg,
Fla.
Trailing 14-12 late in the fourth quarter, L-R
Head Coach Clarence Stasavich sent out freshman Marion Kirby to kick what would be the
game-winning field goal for the Bears and the
dream was realized.
Individual Excellence
From 1955 to 1962, Lenoir-Rhyne had a
whopping 48 players garner all-conference
honors and 12 different Bears earned some kind
of All-American honors.
The “Other” Years
The national championship season of 1960
may have overshadowed the fact that in 1959
and 1962 the Bears reached the finals as well.

NCAA Record
Lenoir-Rhyne University currently
holds the NCAA Division II record for
fewest turnovers in a season (eight)
since the NCAA began keeping the
statistic in 1985. In 1994, the Bears only
turned the ball over eight times (four
fumbles, four interceptions) as they
won its most recent South Atlantic
Conference championship. LenoirRhyne holds the per-game record with
0.8 turnovers in 10 games during the
1994 season.
All-Time Collegiate Mark
Lenoir-Rhyne’s 837 yards rushing
against Davidson in 1975 (a 69-14 road
win) remains the all-time collegiate
rushing mark.

All-Time Roster
The Lenoir-Rhyne University All-Time Football Roster has been published for the ninth time since the production of the 1985 football
guide. The 1985 version was made possible in large part by former L-R coach, R.M. “Pat” Shores. Shores spent countless hours using
old yearbooks and other sources to compile the initial list. The L-R sports information office along with former L-R students Jeff Jones,
JuJu Phillips and LuAn Hobson worked extensively to have the list ready for publication in 1985. Former L-R professer Jerry Bolick used
computers to assist with this project.
In March-May 2002, former L-R Assiststant SID Andrew Hotchkiss revived, updated, and enhanced the All-Time roster. The current
list includes all players on the original list and all players that have appeared in football guides and game programs since 1985. Please contact the L-R sports information office for any corrections, additions, or deletions to this list.
The Lenoir-Rhyne sports information office wishes to thank all the sports publicity and sports information directors that have worked
so hard for many hours in order to publicize L-R athletics throughout the years. Thanks go out to John Hall, Rick Strunk, Joe Smith,
Thomas Neff, Dom Donnelly, Michael MacEachern, Chris Pluto, and, espcially, to Andrew Hotchkiss who spearheaded this hardworking project.

Recognized as one of “America’s Best Colleges”
by U.S. News and World Report, Lenoir-Rhyne is
located in the “All-American City” of Hickory, N.C.,
a city of more than 40,000 situated in the heart of
western piedmont of North Carolina. Affiliated with
the North Carolina Synod of the Evangelical Lutheran
Church in America, Lenoir-Rhyne is dedicated to the
liberal arts as a well-rounded educational experience.
Four Lutheran ministers founded the college on a
site donated by Captain Walter Lenoir. Lenoir-Rhyne
started with one building on a small tract of land
which has grown to more than 20 major structures
on a 100-acre campus. The name “Rhyne” was later
added to the original name Lenoir College due to the
contributions of Daniel Efird Rhyne, a local textile
manufacturer whose gifts helped overcome early crises
and establish the college’s endowment.
In the tradition of a church-related, liberal arts college, L-R enrolls approximately 1,500 students and has
a student ratio of 11-1. More than 60 percent of its
professors hold doctorate degrees. The college offers
over 40 majors, both in traditional fields of study ranging from the humanities, natural sciences, and social
sciences, to such new fields as international business,
communication and computer science. Lenoir-Rhyne is one of only a few colleges in the
nation to have implemented the innovative Dartmouth
model of foreign language instruction and offers a
program to train teachers of the hearing-impaired.
Lenoir-Rhyne’s track record for the success of
professional graduates has been high.
Graduates in the nursing program consistently
score at the top of the state board examination, while
over 85 percent of law school applicants and 75 percent of medical school applicants gain acceptance.
The academic facilities of the college, among the
best for a small school in the southeast, include the
Carl A. Rudisill Library and Learning Resources Center. The Rudisill Library houses over 135,000 volumes,
850 periodicals and a modern television studio and
computer center.
Lenoir-Rhyne holds membership in the National
Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA Division II).
Lenoir-Rhyne, which competes in the South Atlantic
Conference, fields 20 athletic teams. The college also
offers a year-round intramural program and houses an
olympic-sized indoor pool, racquetball courts, a dance
theater, three weight rooms, and two full-size gymnasiums, including the 3,200-seat Shuford Memorial
Gymnasium.
Lenoir-Rhyne will increase its number of sports to
20 with the addition of men’s and women’s lacrosse
and men’s swimming, who will start playing intercollegiately in 2010-11.
The responsibility of any college or university is to
prepare its students for life not only in the work place,
but as productive and useful citizens in their respective
communities. At L-R, there is a commitment to helping its students become the leaders in today’s world.
On Saturday, August 23, 2008, Lenoir-Rhyne College will officially change its name to Lenoir-Rhyne
University.

Piedmont Educational Foundation
Dedicated To Excellence In Academic And Athletics
The Team Behind The Teams
Jon Swift ’71
President
Neill McGeachy ’65
Executive Director
Lenoir-Rhyne is only one of a handful
of schools in NCAA Division II that offers
such a diverse intercollegiate athletic program
providing 20 sports.
Great pride is taken in how things are done
at Lenoir-Rhyne. There is only one way . . .
the right way. Lenoir-Rhyne student-athletes
have learned to appreciate the strength of
discipline, the wisdom of teamwork and
the tenacious pursuit of excellence. LenoirRhyne’s strong committment toward athletics
and academics provides our student-athletes
with tools and resources necessary to be successful througout their lives.
With this in mind, Lenoir-Rhyne and its
athletic fundraising arm, the Piedmont Educational Foundation/Bears Club, are committed to enhancing the educational experiences
and opportunities for our student-athletes.
The Piedmont Educational Foundation/
Bears Club was chartered on December 12,
1946, for the purpose of providing scholar-
ship aid to worthy young men and women
who otherwise might not have the advantage
of a college education. Now, with over 600
members throughout the United States,
the Piedmont Educational Foundation has
provided over two million dollars in aid to
Lenoir-Rhyne. With your support we are able
to develop a competitive athletic program as
we work to build championship people, both
on and off the playing field.
Friends, alumni, parents and companiesanyone can join the Piedmont Educational
Foundation/Bears Club with a contribution.
Our giving levels and benefits start at $150
dollars and graduate to a named scholarship giving level of $5,000. When you join
the PEF/Bears Club, you are investing in
a brighter future for many of the LenoirRhyne’s student-athletes. Call the Piedmont
Educational Foundation/Bears Club office at
(828) 328-7130 to join today or via e-mail at
[email protected].
Why Such An Organization Is Needed
Cindy Moser
Director of Operations
Even though some intercollegiate sports
are income producing, others provide no
income. However, all sports do attract
students to the school and, in so doing,
contribute greatly to the overall well-being
of Lenoir-Rhyne.
Without the financial assistance of the
Piedmont Educational Foundation/Bears
Club, the financial burden of maintaining
a competitive athletic program would fall
to Lenoir-Rhyne’s already pressed general
fund. Gifts from alumni and friends are
absolutely necessary for the athletic program to operate.
The Piedmont Educational Foundation/Bears Club provides a tax deductible
vehicle through which these gifts may be
matched.
All gifts are receipted and acknowledged by Lenoir-Rhyne and the Piedmont
Educational Foundation/Bears Club. We
recognize that a number of our donors
contribute to both academics and athletic
programs of Lenoir-Rhyne.
Therefore, your entire contribution to
the school will be gratefully acknowledged
(in total) in Lenoir-Rhyne University’s annual report.

The Piedmont Educational Foundation is selling, as a fundraiser for athletic
scholarship, replicas of the campus statue
entitled “The Charge”. Anyone purchasing this statue will have their name placed
in perpetuity on the site of the campus
bear at the conclusion of the fundraiser. This is a great gift idea for any alumnus or friend of Lenoir-Rhyne. Part of
the $1,500.00 cost of the statue may be
tax deductible. Please call Cindy Moser at
(828) 328-7130 or email her at moserc@
lr.edu for more information and payment
options.
Moretz Stadium
The 2010 season marks the Bears’ 83rd year
in one of the most beautiful football facilities to
be found on any college campus.
The year 2002 proved to be a rebirth in for
L-R football as Moretz Stadium saw its attendance jump by a national-best average of 2,933
per game and Lenoir-Rhyne finished 19th in the
country in NCAA Division II in attendance.
Lenoir-Rhyne has now led the South Atlantic
Conference in attendance for the last seven of
the past eight years.
On September 16, 1989, the Bears’ home
football facility was renamed the Helen & Leonard Moretz Stadium. The stadium honors the
two longtime Lenoir-Rhyne supporters. Recent
renovations to the facility include a new press/
president box, new lighting, and general repairs
were made possible by a gift from Mrs. Moretz
through the college’s $24 million Centennial
Renewal Campaign.
The site of the stadium has been home of
the Bears since the early 1920s and much of
Lenoir-Rhyne’s football successes and athletic
history began here.
Originally named College Field, the facility
was built as a combination football-baseball field
in 1923. Since records have been documented,
beginning in 1927, L-R has won 54 percent
(209-180-21) of their home contests over the
78-year span.
The stadium gained its present look in 1964
during a major renovation project, which was a
monumental undertaking as the field itself was
lowered some five feet, a drainage system was
installed, retaining walls around the stadium
were built, and new concrete stands were added.
Those stands, recognized as the home side
of the field, increased the stadium capacity to
9,500. A section of bleachers on the visitors side
of the field was removed following the 1982
season and stadium now seats 8,500.
Moretz Stadium has been the site for three
NAIA national semifinal playoff games, and
the Bears advanced to the finals following each
game. The 1960 playoff battle with Northern
Michigan may have been the most interesting as
the two teams finished the game tied at 20. L-R
advanced to the NAIA championship because
of accumulating more total yardage, and eventually won the college’s only national title by defeating Humboldt State 15-14 in St. Petersburg,
Fla.
Moretz Stadium is the largest on-campus in
the league and is widely recognized as one of
the finest small college football stadiums in the
nation.
Moretz Stadium is the fourth oldest stadium
on record in NCAA Division II.

McCrorie Center
Lenoir-Rhyne College’s vision for the future
became a reality in June of 2002 with the opening of the McCrorie Center. The 1959 winner
of the Voight R. Cromer Award, which honors
athletes who put team before self, and a 1960
graduate of Lenoir-Rhyne College, Hank McCrorie and his wife, Bernice, gifted the college
$3.4 million to name the building.
Altogether costing $10.3 million, the 47,000square foot facility is home to the Lenoir-Rhyne
College Football Program. Facing L-R’s practice
field, the McCrorie Center’s ground floor
includes the weight-training room, coaches’
offices, locker room, hydrotherapy facilities
(one of only two at any North Carolina college
or university), a state-of-the-art training and
rehabilitation center, clinical areans and sports
medicine faculty offices.
Not only does the McCrorie Center house
the college’s football team, but it is also home to
some of the nation’s top health-related departments: nursing, occupational therapy and sports
medicine. Approximately one-third of the college’s students are majoring in the allied health
sciences, including pre-medical science.
Lenoir-Rhyne is expecting the McCrorie
Center to play a significant role in increasing the
number of health-care practitioners serving the
region and the state - while providing its many
intercollegiate sports with expanded locker,
equipment, training and office areas.
“I hope this gift and the construction of this building
will allow Lenoir-Rhyne College to continue to attract
the students it desires and to excel in academic and
athletic programs”, said McCrorie. “The three most
important things I received from Lenoir-Rhyne College
were an education, inspiration and friendships that will
last a lifetime.”
The building’s main floor house allied
classrooms, a fitness facility - which caters
to the entire campus community - a physical
rehabilitation room, a patience care laboratory, a
new state of the art computer lab and a student
lounge.
Finally, the second floor includes a conference room, nursing and occupational therapy
faculty offices, a craft laboratory, and pediatric
laboratory for occupational therapy, LenoirRhyne’s first on-campus human anatomy laboratory and the Student Health Center are also
located on the floor.

Lenoir-Rhyne Sports Hall Of Fame
History and Inductees
Established by the Lenoir-Rhyne Board of Trustees in 1976, the Sports Hall of Fame is designed to recognize and perpetuate the noteworthy
athletic tradition of Lenoir-Rhyne by honoring and memorializing individuals who have made extraordinary contributions to the tradition.
The Hall operates under the authority of the Board of Trustees, according to a set of guidelines established by that group. Hall of Famers must
not have represented Lenoir-Rhyne as student-athletes for 10 years immediately preceding the date of their induction and cannot be full-time members
of the L-R staff at the time of their induction.
Awards and administration are provided by the Piedmont Educational Foundation. Each year on the morning of the Homecoming football game, a
special Hall of Fame induction ceremony is held highlighting the careers of each of the inductees.

won four conference titles and played in two national title contests. McClamrock was an instrumental player for the Bears on offense and was
the team’s leading passer during the 1960 season with 594 yards. He also
threw the game-tying touchdown against Northern Michigan in the 1960
NAIA Eastern Playoff Game (the Bears advanced due to more total yards
en route to the national championship). An outstanding all-around athlete, McClamrock also ran track and field for three years at Lenoir-Rhyne. After graduation, McClamrock coached football, track and field and wrestling for six years (1962-68) at Statesville (N.C.) High School. For the past

2009
2006 Player Awards
Clarence P. Stasavich
Endowed Scholarship
David A. Moose
Memorial Scholarship
Voigt R. Cromer
Award
The Clarence P. Stasavich Endowed Scholarship Fund was established in 1996 at Lenoir-Rhyne
College in Hickory, N.C. as a result of the Clarence P. Stasavich Campaign. The campaign was
established jointly by the boards of Lenoir-Rhyne
College and the Piedmont Educational Foundation, Inc. representing former football players,
colleagues and friends of coach Stasavich in honor
of his committment to Lenoir-Rhyne.
A member of the class of 1935, Clarence P.
Stasavich returned to his alma mater in 1938 as
football line coach, assistant basketball coach, head
tennis coach and mathematics instructor. Following four years of service to the U.S. Navy, he
returned to Lenoir-Rhyne as Head Football Coach
from 1946-61. Coach Stasavich will always be remembered for building the first national championship football team in North Carolina (1960 NAIA
National Champions).
More importantly, he was also know for his
example of Christian faith, exemplary leadership
and committment both in the classroom and on
the field.
The 2009 recipient of the Clarence P. Stasavich
Endowed Scholarship was Jamont Jones
Jones, a two-year letterwinner (2008-09), came
into his own last year at cornerback and returning
kickoffs and punts.
Jones, a junior from Washington, N.C., led the
Bears in kickoff return yards (565) and return average (23.0 ypr) in 2009 and returned a kickoff 90
yards for a score against Concord (Sept. 5, 2009).
On defense, Jones finished with 39 tackles, three
pass break-ups and one interception.
Hanging in the Lenoir-Rhyne football office is a
plaque that states: “Some young men personify the
positive traits that intercollegiate ahtletics are said
to foster . . . David Augustus Moose II was one
such man.”
On March 18, 1984, David Moose died tragically
in an off-campus incident. Just months before,
Moose had been chosen for the 1983 first-team
All-South Atlantic Conference squad and was
voted by his teammates as the year’s Oustanding
Defensive Player. He received the Lenoir-Rhyne
Academic Award for the highest grade point averge
on the team and was voted captain of the 1984
Bears.
To memorialize David and all that he stood for
both on and off the field, the David A. Moose Memorial Scholarship fund was established by family
and friends in 1984.
The scholarship is awarded each year to a
football participant, preferably a non-scholarship
athlete, who best exemplifies his life through the
qualities of hard work, dedication, high academics,
exemplary character and campus leadership.
The 2009 recipient of the David A. Moose
scholarship was Chad Thacker.
Thacker, a native of Burlington, N.C., and a
graduate of Western Alamance High School, won
the award for the third year in a row.
Thacker, a 2009 captain, will be entering his
third year as a starter this fall and will move to
center from one of the tackle spots.
Thacker helped the Bears finish second in the
nation in rushing (294.3 ypg) in 2009.
Thacker, a member of the SAC Commissioner’s
Honor Roll, carries a 3.61 grade point average
while majoring in political science.
The award, given out since 1980, is dedicated to
the memory of the late Voigt Cromer, who served
as president of Lenoir-Rhyne College from 194967.
The Voigt R. Cromer Award combines athletic
and academic excellence with extracurricular
achievement. The recipient must be a letterman
who demonstrates superior athletic ability. Me
must be a campus leader of high moral character
who is cooperative with faculty and coaches. In the
tradition of Voigt Cromer, he must possess a will
to win.
The 2009 recipient of the Voigt R. Cromer
award was Harrison Smith.
Smith, a four-year letterwinner (2006-09) and a
three-year starter (2007-09) for the Bears, won the
award for the third straight year.
Smith, a native of Clayton, N.C., earned secondteam All-South Atlantic Conference honors last
season.
Smith anchored a line that helped the Bears
finish second in NCAA Division II in rushing at
294.3 yards per game in 2009.
Smith, a double major in communication and
political science, sports a 3.69 grade point average
and is a member of the South Atlantic Conference
Commissioner’s Honor Roll.
