For the past three years, the North Carolina Central University football program has undergone a transformation, from back-to-back conference champions and NCAA Division II playoff participants to new Division I-FCS members experiencing the harsh realities of a team in transition.

Heading into their fourth year as a Division I competitor, the fl edgling Eagles, who have endured thousands of miles of travel to road contests against nationally-ranked opposition, are now battle-tested, mature, experienced and ready to soar.

The 2010 edition of the gridiron Eagles welcomes back 61 returning letterwinners, including 17 starters (9 offense, 8 defense), consisting of 10 seniors, six juniors and one sophomore.

“It’s going to be different,” NCCU head coach Mose Rison said about the upcoming campaign, his fourth as the program’s head mentor. “We have been a team in transition. We have played a lot of road games, and played with a lot of youth. Now we have seven home games and we are going to have experienced depth.”

NCCU Offense Looking to Regain Scoring Output from 2006 Championship Season

During the fi rst three season of the Division I reclassifi cation process, NCCU averaged 18.3 points per game against Division I opposition, compiling a 7-16 record in those contests.

With nine returning starters, Rison sees the potential for the 2010 offensive lineup to return to the form of the 2006 squad that scored at a school record pace of 30.9 points per game under his direction as offensive coordinator.

“I want to get back to where we were in 2006 as far as scoring points,” said Rison. “I feel we will score more points, move the ball more consistently and be more explosive.”

Rison’s confi dence stems mainly from the return of starting quarterback Michael Johnson (R-Jr., 6-2, 230, Durham, N.C.). Last season, his fi rst as the full-time starter, Johnson threw for 1,931 yards (175.5 avg.), a single-season total only four other signal callers in school history have accomplished. Johnson completed 153 of his 268 passes (57.1 percent) with 18 touchdown tosses, equaling an impressive pass effi ciency rating of 132.31. As a team, the Eagles amassed an average of 304.4 yards of total offense per outing.

“Michael is a student of the game, is excited about football, and no doubt is a leader,” Rison said. “He has tremendous command of the offense and controls the line of scrimmage. Without a question, we will go as he goes. I hate to put that kind of pressure on him, but I know he will respond.”

Two seasons ago, Johnson shared the starting quarterback duties with Keon Williams (R-Jr., 6-0, 183, Charlotte, N.C.), providing the Eagles with an experienced and capable back-up. Redshirt freshman Eric Brown (6-3, 180, St. Louis, Mo.) and Winston-Salem State transfer Jordan Reid (R-Fr., 6-2, 190, High Point, N.C.) are available for additional support behind center.

The task of keeping the quarterback safe will be the responsibility of a massive and experienced front line. The projected starting fi ve for the Eagles are all two-year starters on the college level with an average size of 6-4, 319 pounds.

“We have been working extremely hard making sure the one place we improved is the offensive line,” Rison said. “I can’t tell you how joyful I have been to be able to talk about the young men we have coming in.”

Rison is speaking about the addition of three transfers with the size and experience to make an immediate impact. Standing an impressive 6-8, 350 pounds, Shaun Millien (Jr., 6-8, 350, Roslindale, Mass.) enjoyed back-to-back conference championships as a two-year starter on the offensive line at Dean College in Franklin, Mass. Armand Poole (R-Sr., 6-2, 285, Grayson, Ga.) started for the past two seasons on the offensive front at Hofstra before the Pride dropped the football program. Julian Gray (R-Jr.,

6-4, 290, College Park, Ga.) also started the 2008 and 2009 campaigns as an offensive lineman at Winston-Salem State.

Eric Stanley (R-Sr., 6-5, 347, Sterling, Va.) is back after missing 2009 with a preseason injury. “He has fully responded to treatment and will be back and ready to go 100 percent,” Rison said.

Senior James Frye (6-3, 325, Catawba, N.C.) returns for a third consecutive year as NCCU’s starting center. “I expect him to come back even stronger than last year,” said Rison.

Other Eagles returning to the offensive front with starting experience include Timothy Charity (Sr., 6-0, 286, Manteo, N.C.), Joseph Figueroa (So., 6-0, 277, Fuquay-Varina, N.C.), Alex Johnson (Jr., 6-2, 277, Monroe, N.C.), Dominique Moore (Jr., 6-3, 290, Roanoke, Va.) and Markee Watts (Jr., 6-6, 394, Charlotte, N.C.).

Rison also mentioned newcomer Daniel Harrison (So., 6-5, 330, Wendell, N.C.) as a key addition to the deep offensive line.

“We return the nucleus of starters and others with game experience, which gives us a very formidable offensive line,” said Rison. “We will have a line with some experience and we will have depth behind them that can come into a game and we will not lose anything.”

The improved offensive front will be a welcomed sight for the Eagles

running backs. NCCU’s top three rushers, accounting for 98 percent of the squad’s ground attack in 2009, are all on this season’s roster.

Senior running backs Tim Shankle (5-10, 200, Gainesville, Fla.) and Tony McCord (6-0, 188, Stone Mountain, Ga.) combined to average more than 100 yards per game last year. Shankle led the way with 732 rushing yards (66.5 yards per game/4.1 yards per attempt) and eight touchdowns, while also catching 20 passes for 143 yards. McCord was second on the team with 359 ground yards (39.9 yards per game/4.7 yards per attempt) and a score, along with seven catches for 41 yards. “They have been our two most consistent backs,” Rison said about Shankle and McCord. “I am expecting big things out of both of them. They understand what this offense is all about.”

After sitting out the 2009 season, Justin Campbell (R-Jr., 5-6, 197, Monroe, N.C.) will look to regain the form that made him one of the top three running backs in his fi rst two years with the Eagles. “Justin’s return gives us a proven backup.”

Last season’s third-leading rusher, Arthur Goforth (So., 5-7, 168, Columbia, S.C.) “is a nice change of pace,” according the Rison. With rookies Andre Clarke (Fr., 5-10, 220, Mauldin, S.C.) and Duval Smith (Fr., 5-10, 185, Roswell, Ga.) joining the backfi eld mix, Rison said, “we are a good, solid seven deep at running back.”

At fullback, junior Justin Manning (5-8, 245, Raleigh, N.C.) and redshirt junior George Mobley (6-0, 260, Charlotte, N.C.) will compete for the starting role. “Justin is a good physical blocker who understands the offense,” said Rison, “while Mobley is a big, strong physical football player who I expect to be ready to go after missing the 2009 season.”

Although losing the services of the team’s leading receiver in Will Scott (45 catches, 706 yards, 10 touchdowns), Rison still believes “the wide receiver position may be the strength of our offense.”

Junior Geovonie Irvine (5-7, 150, Durham, N.C.) is the squad’s top returning receiver after collecting 38 receptions for 582 yards and three touchdowns in his college debut. “When people look at his stature they take him for granted, but he is one of the best wide receivers I have ever been around,” said Rison. “We will fi nd a way to get the ball in his hands.”

Andrew Johnson (Jr., 6-2, 176, Fayetteville, N.C.) tied for the team-high with an average of 15.7 yards per reception, fi nishing his fi rst NCCU season with 19 catches for 298 yards and three trips to the end zone. “Andrew has shown tremendous speed, good hands, and has good size,”

said Rison. “I look forward to watching him play.”Redshirt junior Corey Harris (6-4, 200, Chesapeake, Va.) is slated to

return after suffering a preseason injury that ended his 2009 campaign.Although recording only one catch for eight yards last season, junior

Decona Roberts (6-1, 203, Indian Trail, N.C.) has really come into his own, according to Rison, adding that Roberts “had the best spring of all the wide receivers.”

Joining the Eagles from Winston-Salem State is Lamar Whidbee (R-So., 6-3, 180, Hertford, N.C.), the Rams’ second-leading receiver in 2009 with 16 catches for 208 yards as a starter in all 11 games as a redshirt freshman.

A pair of redshirt freshmen, Stanley Wright (6-0, 206, Charlotte, N.C.) and Marvin Poole (6-3, 176, Columbia, S.C.), are expected to make a signifi cant contribution this fall with a year of practice under their belts.

At the tight end position, redshirt junior Earthan Ward (6-4, 218, Edenton, N.C.) will also command attention in the opposition’s defensive secondary. Ward was responsible for 19 receptions for 248 yards (13.1 yards per catch) and two touchdowns. “Earthan has tremendous hands and has improved as a blocker,” Rison said. “He has played a lot of football, and is a big factor in what we do.”

Reserve tight end Detwan Robinson (So., 6-4, 246, Lewisberry, Pa.) “is very athletic with great hands and speed.”

Veteran Defense Remains the Strength of the NCCU Football Team

With eight returning starters, including the team’s top three tacklers, a veteran defensive unit stands ready to protect the Eagles’ nest and pick up where it left off a year ago.

After starting out the 2009 season with a turnover margin of minus-eight (-8), NCCU posted a plus-10 (+10) turnover margin in the last fi ve games. On the season, the aggressive Eagles amassed 63 tackles for a loss with 18 sacks, 37 quarterback hurries, 16 interceptions, seven recovered fumbles and six forced fumbles.

“The strength of our football team is the defense,” Rison said. “We have a lot of veteran football players. The defensive nucleus is something to be excited about.”

On the defensive line, the Eagles return all three starters and welcome three transfers to provide quality depth up front.

193, McDonough, Ga.). “They have the ability to be special football players,” said Rison.

Adding to the size and physicality of the NCCU secondary will be Rochester Community & Technical College transfer Fred Ominde (Jr., 6-0, 180, Rochester, Minn.), who earned all-conference honors with 47 tackles (37 solo), 13 pass break-ups, two interceptions, two sacks and two forced fumbles last season.

NCCU Special Teams No Longer a Question Mark

Heading into the 2009 campaign, NCCU had no returning kickers. The punting and place-kicking duties were

Senior defensive tackle Teryl White (6-5, 290, Macon, Ga.) enters his fi nal season after collecting 114 tackles, including 22.0 tackles for a loss, in the past two years. “I expect Teryl White to be Teryl White,” Rison said with high praise for the team leader.

In his fi rst season as a defensive end, Xavier Proctor (Jr., 6-6, 254, Ellicott City, Md.) made a big impact with 30 tackles (14 solo), including 4.5 hits for a loss. “I expect him to play at a high level,” Rison said.

Before being limited with an injury, nose guard Mark Blakeney (Sr., 6-0, 287, Charlotte, N.C.) stood toe-to-toe against some tough competition in the middle of the line of scrimmage, tallying 16 tackles. “Mark was outstanding before his injury last year, and I expect him to return to form,” said Rison.

A big addition up front is transfer Shane Moore (R-Jr., 6-1, 275, Greensboro, N.C.), who played in the Conference USA at Marshall University after earning Guilford County Defensive Player of the Year honors three times while at Northeast Guilford High School. “He has tremendous speed and athleticism,” said Rison. “I expect him to be unblockable.”

A pair of Winston-Salem State transfers, Chase Tripp (So., 6-2, 245, Chocowinity, N.C.) and Charles Goodwin (R-Fr., 6-6, 260, High Point, N.C.), provide much needed depth up front.

“It’s a situation where we need them all,” Rison said about the wealth of talent available on the defensive line. “It’s going to be a long season.”

The top fi ve linebackers returning for NCCU, all with starting experience, combined for 243 tackles last year, an average of nearly 50 takedowns apiece. Leading the way is the ferocious duo of Calvin Hillie (Sr., 6-1, 235, Concord, N.C.) and Donald Laster (Sr., 6-0, 238, Shaker Heights, Ohio).

Hillie topped the Eagles with 70 tackles in 2009, including 6.0 hits for a loss with a sack, three interceptions, six pass break-ups, three quarterback hurries, a recovered fumble and a forced fumble. “Calvin Hillie is one of the most physical football players I have been around,” said Rison. “He has good speed and a nose for the football. He can fl at out bring it.”

Laster was all over the fi eld last season, placing second on the squad with 63 takedowns, including 10.0 tackles for a loss with a team-high 5.5 sacks and an astounding 13 quarterback hurries (the next best Eagle was lineman Teryl White with 4). He added an interception, two pass defl ections, a recovered fumble and a forced fumble. “I think Donald Laster is our best defensive football player,” said Rison. “He lays it on the line every single play. He has been a great student and a tremendous leader. His teammates look up to him. I expect him to play lights out.”

Fellow senior linebacker Rakeem Vick (5-10, 213, Fort Washington, Md.) tied for sixth on the team with 39 tackles last season. “When healthy, he has played outstanding football,” said Rison. “He has matured and has become one of the vocal leaders of the team.”

Junior linebacker Roger Stewart (6-1, 216, Charlotte, N.C.) also recorded 39 tackles a year ago and placed third on the squad with 7.5 hits for a loss with 2.0 sacks. Another junior, Eliezer Sandifer (5-11, 217, Miami, Fla.), contributed 32 stops last season and Rison feels that “this is his year.”

The secondary is led by a pair of returning starting cornerbacks, David Ingram (Jr., 5-8, 173, Waldorf, Md.) and Rashad Fox (Sr., 6-0, 180, Washington, D.C.). Ingram amassed three interceptions and 15 pass break-ups for a total of 18 passes defended, a mark no other Eagle has reached since 1996. He also added 39 tackles (31 solo) with 2.0 hits for a loss and a forced fumble. Fox also fi nished with 39 tackles, while contributing two interceptions and four pass defl ections. “During the past two years, these two cornerbacks have played a lot of good football,” said Rison. “They will take control of the secondary to help some of the young safeties.”

The leadership role in the secondary will also fall on senior Ja’Quez Canty (5-9, 184, Winston-Salem, N.C.), who will start on a full-time basis at strong safety for the fi rst time in his Eagle career. Canty tallied 35 tackles with an assisted sack and a pass break-up as a junior.

The free safety position will be tackled by sophomore Marc Lewis (6-1, 174, New Bern, N.C.) and redshirt freshman Tyrique Williams (5-10,

left up to three true freshmen. The uncertainty did not sit well with Rison. “I was nervous going into last year because we did not know what we had,” he said. “Unlike last season, we have guys who have played in a game. It’s a nice situation.”

The place-kicking job was won by Frankie Cardelle (So., 5-10, 193, Salisbury, N.C.), who made 11-of-20 fi eld goals (55 percent) and converted 31-of-33 extra-point kicks to lead the team in scoring with 64 points. “Frankie was a bit inconsistent, but he has a strong leg and I expect him to kick a lot better as a sophomore.”

Cardelle also fi nished the 2009 campaign as the team’s punter and kickoff specialist, averaging 36.6 yards per punt with a long of 48 yards.

Sophomore Brian Haselsberger (5-11, 180, Oak Ridge, N.C.) carried most of the punting load in 2009, averaging 35.2 yards per punt with a long of 53 yards. He also placed 10 punts inside the 20-yard line. Redshirt freshman Matthew Cornelius (6-0, 157, Charlotte, N.C.) will also compete for snaps as a punter.

Sophomore Nickolas Hahula (5-9, 258, Rocky Mount, N.C.), who served as the regular holder and started his rookie season as a kickoff specialist, returns as another valuable place-kicker.

“I feel a lot better about our kicking game than I did last year,” said Rison. “We will have 2-3 kickers that we can put in the game and get the job done.”

Starting the plays on special teams for the third year in a row will be long snapper Zachary Means (Jr., 5-11, 180, Rocky Mount, N.C.).

“I sleep a lot easier at night because we have guys that are more experienced now,” Rison said. “It is a huge plus for us.”

2010 Schedule Features Thursday Opener, Rival A&T among Seven Home Games

The 2010 North Carolina Central University football schedule features seven home contests, including a Thursday night season-opener and the return of rival North Carolina A&T to O’Kelly-Riddick Stadium, along with four games against conference foes.

The 2010 NCCU schedule also includes the continued series with rival Winston-Salem State, a return trip to Appalachian State, the fi rst home contest against Hampton in 19 years, a game inside the Georgia Dome, and Bethune-Cookman’s fi rst visit to O’Kelly-Riddick Stadium.

“It’s a very competitive schedule,” said Mose Rison, entering his

fourth season as head football coach at NCCU. “We play seven games on our campus, which is a big plus. Our kids enjoy playing in front of our student body and our fans.

“Without a question, this is a great home schedule, with the likes of Winston-Salem State, A&T, Hampton, Bethune-Cookman and Old Dominion coming to Durham. Plus, the return of former CIAA opponent Johnson C. Smith and Edward Waters for Homecoming,” Rison added. “We’re excited.”

The 2010 campaign will mark the fi rst time in school history that NCCU hosts seven regular-season home games. In each of the prior three seasons since moving to NCAA Division I competition, NCCU hosted just four home contests. The Eagles boast a 9-3 record at home in the past three seasons.

The Eagles will open their fourth NCAA Division I-FCS campaign with a rare Thursday night home game on Sept. 2 (7 p.m.) against former CIAA adversary Johnson C. Smith. This will be the fi rst meeting between the Eagles and the Golden Bulls since 2006, NCCU’s last season in the CIAA. NCCU leads the series 48-18-3.

NCCU returns home on Sept. 11 to host the Rams on Winston-Salem State at 6 p.m. The Eagles earned an 18-10 road victory over the Rams last season to take a one-game lead in the series, which stands at 22-21. WSSU will play the 2010 season as a Division II member of the CIAA.

The Eagles will play their fi rst of four road games on Sept. 18 by returning to Boone, N.C., to play Appalachian State, winners of three FCS national championships. Last year, the Mountaineers defeated the Eagles 55-21 in their fi rst meeting. ASU went on to win their fi fth-straight Southern Conference title, advanced to the national semifi nals, posted an 11-3 overall record and garnered a No. 3 national ranking in the fi nal FCS poll.

On Sept. 25 (6 p.m.), the rival Aggies of North Carolina A&T return to Durham, N.C., for the fi rst time since 1992. From 1994-2005, the two battled in the “Eagle-Aggie Classic” at Carter-Finley Stadium in Raleigh, N.C., before returning to a home-and-home series. Two years ago, NCCU opted to host its home game at Memorial Stadium in Charlotte, N.C., where more than 20,000 fans witnessed the Eagles beat the Aggies, 28-27. Last season, A&T edged NCCU 23-17 in double overtime in Greensboro, N.C. The Eagles have won three of the last four matchups, but A&T holds a 46-30-5 advantage in the 86-year history of the rivalry.

“People have been calling and talking about how this will be one of the greatest atmospheres we have had here at O’Kelly-Riddick Stadium in a long time,” Rison said about the Aggies’ return to Durham. “It’s going to be an electric night.”

After an open week, the Eagles welcome another team to O’Kelly-Riddick Stadium that has not visited in a while. On Oct. 9 (4 p.m.), the Hampton Pirates travel to Durham for the fi rst time since the end of the 1991 campaign. In last season’s contest, Hampton rallied for a 31-24 victory in Virginia, marking the Pirates’ sixth consecutive win a series that stands at 15-5 in favor of HU.

On Oct. 16, NCCU will compete in its fourth NFL stadium in the past decade as the Eagles play the Georgia State Panthers inside the Georgia Dome, home of the Atlanta Falcons. Georgia State enters its fi rst year of football competition and is slated to join the Colonial Athletic Association in 2012.

On Oct. 23 (2 p.m.), the Wildcats of Bethune-Cookman will take the NCCU gridiron for the fi rst time. The only other meeting between these future MEAC foes took place on Sept. 24, 1994 in Daytona Beach, Fla., when the Eagles won by a score of 24-5.

On Oct. 30 (2 p.m.), NCCU celebrates Homecoming against the Tigers of Edward Waters in the sixth and fi nal home game of the season for the Eagles. In the prior three meetings, all NCCU victories, the Eagles have outscored EWC 149-26, including a 34-14 win in the last matchup in 2008.

After playing seven of their fi rst eight contests in North Carolina, the Eagles venture to Delaware State on Nov. 6. NCCU holds a 13-5 advantage in the series, including victories in the last four meetings against the Hornets. The last time these two teams met, the Eagles defeated DSU, 26-23, on Sept, 11, 2004, in Dover, Del.

NCCU travels to Savannah State on Nov. 13. The Eagles beat the Tigers, 35-14, in Durham last season. NCCU leads the series 4-0-1.

The 2010 season concludes with NCCU’s “Senior Day” on Nov. 20, as the Eagles host the Monarchs of Old Dominion. Last year’s match-up was a thriller, with NCCU rallying from a 28-0 defi cit to tie the game, only to have the host Monarchs capture the victory in Norfolk, Va.

In 2009, NCCU won four of its last fi ve games to fi nish with a 4-7 record for the second consecutive season.

The Eagles are entering their fourth season of competition on the NCAA Division I-FCS (Football Championship Subdivision) level after winning back-to-back conference championships during their fi nal two years (2005, 2006) in the NCAA Division II Central Intercollegiate Athletic Association.

EAGLE SOARS INTO NFL

NCCU’S MANNS SIGNS NFL FREE AGENT CONTRACT WITH CINCINNATI BENGALSFour-Year Starter on the Eagles’ Offensive Line Part of Two CIAA Championships

CINCINNATI, Ohio - In April 2010, North Carolina Central University senior offensive lineman Gabriel Manns signed a free agent contract to join the National Football League as a member of the Cincinnati Bengals.

Manns participated in the Bengals rookie mini-camp on April 29-May 2 in Cincinnati.

A native of Winston-Salem, N.C., Manns was a four-year starter on the left side of the Eagles’ offensive line at both guard and tackle positions. During his standout career (2005-06, ‘08-09), he played in all 46 games, while missing only two starts, both during the 2006 season due to injury and to allow a senior teammate to start on Senior Day.

“It means a lot,” Manns said about him attaining his goal of joining the NFL. “It shows that hard work does pay off.”

Manns recalled his most memorable NCCU gridiron experience as winning back-to-back CIAA Championships in 2005 and 2006. The 2005 Eagles became the fi rst team in school history to win 10 games, with the 10th victory coming in dramatic, come-from-behind fashion in the conference title game. In 2006, the Eagles went undefeated during the regular-season to earn recognition as the Black College National Champions.

As a senior, Manns was selected to participate in two postseason all-star football games, including the ninth annual East Coast Bowl (Nov. 28, 2009 in Petersburg, Va.) and the inaugural Russell Athletic HBCU Bowl (Dec. 19 in Montgomery, Ala.). He was also named to All-Independent Team by Phil Steele’s 2009 College Football Preview magazine.

“The whole football experience and being a part of the team has been incredible,” Manns said. “I feel like I have learned a lot at NCCU. I appreciate all of the support that I have received and want to thank everyone that helped me along the way.”

Born Dec. 9, 1986, in Detroit, Michigan, he is the son of Adora and Fredrick Manns.

Coach Mose Rison enters his fourth season as head coach at NCCU. He accepted the challenge of leading the Eagles football program to the NCAA Division I (Football Championship Subdivision) level on Feb. 6, 2007, when he was announced as the school’s 19th head football coach.

He came to NCCU as the assistant head coach, offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach in 2006, but after one season accepted the role of head coach for the fi rst time in his 25-year coaching career.

In 2009, NCCU’s high level of competition and determination did not translate into victories during the fi rst half of the season. The Eagles were ahead at Hampton with less than two minutes remaining, held a second-half lead at nationally-ranked Liberty, dropped two contests in overtime, and took an advantage into the second quarter against three-time national champion Appalachian State. Battered but not defeated, NCCU responded by winning four of the fi nal fi ve games of the season to fi nish the campaign with a 4-7 record. Even in the lone setback during the season-ending run, the Eagles amazingly rallied from a 28-0 second-half defi cit to tie the game in the fourth quarter.

In 2008, a young and inexperienced squad got off to a slow start against

one of the toughest schedules in the FCS ranks. Still, the squad continued to battle and improve, resulting in victories in three of the last four contests to fi nish the season with a 4-7 record.

In 2007, Rison led the Eagles to a winning 6-4 record in the program’s fi rst season of NCAA Division I (FCS) competition.

In 2006, Rison directed NCCU’s offense to 371 points (30.9 per game), the most in school history, during the Eagles historic 11-1 campaign. Under Rison’s tutelage, freshman quarterback Stadford Brown was named as the “SBN Sports Doug Williams Offensive Player of the Year,” the 2006 CIAA Offensive Player of the Year and CIAA Rookie of the Year.

A 1978 graduate of Central Michigan University, Rison spent the 2005 season as the Quarterbacks Coach/Passing

ACTIVE IN THE COMMUNITY

NCCU head football coach Mose Rison took time away from the Eagles’ 2009 spring football practice regiment to take part in a literacy campaign at nearby C.C. Spaulding Elementary School.

On March 4, after leading his team through an early morning practice, Rison visited Robert Lavender’s fourth-grade class to read “Oh, the Thinks You Can Think!” by Dr. Seuss.

Rison told the group that when he received the invitation from reading recovery teach Marion Horn, he was more excited about the opportunity to read to the class than the opening of spring football practice.

MID-EASTERN ATHLETIC CONFERENCE

The Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference (MEAC) enters its 41st year of operation heading into the 2010-11 academic school year. The MEAC is made up of 13 outstanding historically black institutions across the Atlantic coastline: Bethune-Cookman University, Coppin State University, Delaware State University, Florida A&M University, Hampton University, Howard University, University of Maryland Eastern Shore, Morgan State University, Norfolk State University, North Carolina A&T State University, North Carolina Central University, Savannah State University and South Carolina State University.

HISTORYIn 1969, a bold ad hoc group

of innovators long associated with intercollegiate athletics met in Durham, N.C., to discuss the feasibility o f o rgan iz ing a new conference. Dissected from these discussions, a steering a n d p l a n n i n g committee was formed to fully investigate the idea, present a detailed report with recommendations t o i n t e r e s t e d collegiate institutions, and then construct a workshop to outline proposals.

After adopting a program, seven institutions (Delaware State College, Howard University, University of Maryland Eastern Shore, Morgan State University, North Carolina A&T State University, North Carolina Central University and South Carolina State College) agreed to become the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference. Its major objective was to establish, organize and supervise an intercollegiate athletic program among a compact group of educational institutions of high academic standards and with a sound philosophy of co-curricular activities. The conference agreed to seek Division I status for its sports.

The conference was confi rmed in 1970, kicking off its fi rst season of competition in football in 1971.

In 1978, a milestone was reached when the MEAC selected Kenneth A. Free to be its fi rst full-time commissioner. Free served the conference for 18 years before stepping down in May of 1996. In July of 1996, Charles S. Harris was named commissioner and served in the capacity until April 2002. On September 1, 2002, Dr. Dennis E. Thomas was named the commissioner and has served in the position for nine years.

The conference’s fi rst expansion occurred in October 1979 when Bethune-Cookman College and Florida A&M University were voted into the MEAC as new members. Original members Morgan State, North Carolina Central and Maryland Eastern Shore withdrew from the conference at the end of the 1979-80 fi scal year. Maryland Eastern Shore was readmitted in 1981 and Morgan

State returned in 1984. Florida A&M opted to resign in 1984 but rejoined the conference in 1986. Coppin State College was granted admittance in 1985, becoming the ninth member institution.

The MEAC expanded again in the 1990’s with the inclusion of Hampton University (1995) and Norfolk State University (1997). The conference expanded in 2007 adding Winston-Salem

State University. Following the 2009-10 academic/athletic season Winston-Salem State withdrew from the

conference and returned to Division II. On July 1, 2010 the MEAC made its fi nal

expansion with the admittance of North Carolina Central and Savannah State

University. On June 8, 1980, the

MEAC was classified as a Division I conference by the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA). Prior to that year the conference operated as a Division

II conference. The following month

t h e M E A C received an a u t o m a t i c

qualifi cation to the NCAA Division

I Men’s Basketball Championship.

Currently, the conference has automatic qualifying bids for NCAA

postseason play in baseball (since 1994), men’s basketball (since 1981), women’s

basketball (since 1982), football (since 1996), softball (since 1995), men and women’s tennis (since 1998), and volleyball (since 1994).

The MEAC initiated cross country in 1980 and North Carolina A&T earned the inaugural men’s crown. The fi rst women’s cross country championship took place a year later with Howard winning the fi rst of its seven titles. Indoor Track and Field was also added in 1981 with South Carolina State capturing the men’s title and Howard winning the women’s crown.

Tennis and golf returned as MEAC governed sports in 1981, after a fi ve-year hiatus. South Carolina State won all seven of the conference’s golf championships from 1972-1983 before the sport was discontinued after the 1983 championship.

Morgan State dominated the conference in wrestling winning 13 of 24 conference championships during the sports tenure (1972-1995).

Baseball, which began in 1972, was discontinued following the 1977 season. It was brought back as a MEAC governed sport along with women’s volleyball in 1983. Women’s softball became a MEAC sanctioned sport in 1992.

Bowling was offi cially sanctioned as a MEAC sport in 1999. Before that season, the MEAC was the fi rst conference to secure NCAA sanctioning for women’s bowling by adopting the club sport prior to the 1996-97 school year.

2009 REVIEW NOTEBOOK

The Eagles of North Carolina Central University fi nished their third season of Division I-FCS competition with a 4-7 overall record. NCCU’s high level of competition and determination did not translate into victories during the fi rst half of the season. The Eagles were ahead at Hampton with less than two minutes remaining, held a second-half lead at nationally-ranked Liberty, dropped two contests in overtime, and took an advantage into the second quarter against three-time national champion Appalachian State. Battered but not defeated, NCCU responded by winning four of the fi nal fi ve games of the season to fi nish the campaign with a 4-7 record. Even in the lone setback during the season-ending run, the Eagles amazingly rallied from a 28-0 second-half defi cit to tie the game in the fourth quarter.

THE 2009 SENIOR CLASS NCCU said goodbye to fi ve seniors from the 2009 squad - fullback Saeed Abdul-Azeez, defensive back Derek Harvey, offensive lineman Gabriel Manns, receiver Will Scott, and linebacker Alex Winters.

HITTING THE BOOKS ... WHITE VOTED TO ACADEMIC ALL-DISTRICT TEAM NCCU junior defensive lineman Teryl White was voted to the 2009 CoSIDA/ESPN the Magazine Academic All-District Football Team, as chosen by members of the College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA). A native of Winston-Salem, N.C., White was honored on the First Team of the University Division (Division I programs) in District 3 (North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Virginia). White has achieved a 3.479 overall grade point average as a business management and administration major at NCCU. An active participant in community service activities, White also serves as president of NCCU’s Student-Athlete Advisory Committee. “When we recruited Teryl, one of the most impressive things about him was his academic achievements,” said NCCU head coach Mose Rison. “He has done an outstanding job of representing NCCU on the fi eld, but he has performed even better academically. Teryl exemplifi es everything you look for in a well-rounded student-athlete, and we are so proud of his accomplishments.”

EAGLES WINNING THE TURNOVER BATTLE After starting out the season with a turnover margin of minus-eight (-8), NCCU turned it around with a plus-10 (+10) turnover margin in the last fi ve games of the season. Overall, NCCU recovered seven fumbles and intercepted 16 passes, while losing 10 fumbles and throwing 11 interceptions, resulting in a plus-two (+2) turnover margin for the season.

GREAT SCOTT ... SENIOR RECEIVER AMONG NCCU CAREER LEADERS NCCU receiver Will Scott jumped into the 10th position on the school’s career receiving yards list courtesy of a career-best 179-yard performance at North Carolina A&T on Oct. 3. He now ranks sixth with 1,975 career receiving yards. Scott’s 121 career receptions also ranks eighth in NCCU history.

NO PASSING ZONE ... INGRAM TOP PASS DEFENDER SINCE 1996 NCCU cornerback David Ingram recorded 18 passes defended with 15 pass break-ups and three interceptions, placing him 10th on the NCCU single-season passes defended list. On Oct. 31 versus Central State, Ingram tallied fi ve pass break-ups and an interception.

NCCU OFFENSE LEAVES OPPOSITION WITH 50/50 VISION NCCU scored at least 50 points in back-to-back games for the fi rst time in 41 years. The Eagles cruised past Central Methodist 52-7 on Oct. 17, then defeated Central State 53-22 on Oct. 31 after a bye week. An NCCU squad had not accomplished that feat since the 1968 season. That year, the Eagles beat Shaw 60-8 on Nov. 2, 1968, then crushed Virginia Union 60-6 on Nov. 16, 1968.

SCOTT’S 179 RECEIVING YARDS AT A&T RANKS 11TH IN NCCU HISTORY NCCU senior receiver Will Scott amassed 179 receiving yards and a touchdown on fi ve catches at North Carolina A&T on Oct. 3 to equal the 11th-ranked performance in school history. On Nov. 9, 1985, Robert Clark recorded 179 receiving yards on 12 catches versus Johnson C. Smith.

HENDERSON’S INTERCEPTION RETURN RANKS NINTH IN NCCU HISTORY At the 13:33 mark of the second quarter against Duke University on Sept. 26, NCCU safety Jeffery Henderson returned an interception 83 yards for a touchdown, equaling the ninth-longest interception return in NCCU history.

EAGLES PLAY FIRST OVERTIME GAME AT O’KELLY-RIDDICK STADUIM Prior to a 13-10 double overtime setback against Morehead State University, the NCCU Eagles had never played an overtime game inside O’Kelly-Riddick Stadium.

NCCU EAGLES MAKE DEBUT ON ARTIFICIAL TURF The NCCU Eagles made their debut on the newly-installed artifi cial turf (Mondoturf) on Sept. 19 against Morehead State. In an effort to maximize the use of its athletic fi elds and reduce fi nancial and human resources, the NCCU Department of Athletics initiated the process of installing artifi cial turf inside O’Kelly-Riddick Stadium. On July 13, Medallion Athletic Products, Inc., the company contracted to perform the artifi cial turf installation, broke ground on the Eagles home football fi eld.

MANNS SIGNS FREE AGENT CONTRACT WITH CINCINNATI BENGALS In April 2010, NCCU senior offensive lineman Gabriel Manns signed a free agent contract to join the National Football League as a member of the Cincinnati Bengals. He participated in the Bengals rookie mini-camp on April 29-May 2 in Cincinnati. Manns was also selected to participate in two postseason all-star football games, including the ninth annual East Coast Bowl (Nov. 28, 2009 in Petersburg, Va.) and the inaugural Russell Athletic HBCU Bowl (Dec. 19 in Montgomery, Ala.).

NCCU MEETS DUKE ON THE GRIDIRON FOR FIRST TIME NCCU and Duke University have long shared a home city, but the two Durham institutions had never shared the gridiron. On Sept. 26, 2009, the Eagles and Blue Devils became football opponents for the fi rst time during the “Bull City Gridiron Classic” at Wallace Wade Stadium.

1North Carolina Central ..........................24Hampton .................................................31

September 5, 2009Armstrong Stadium - Hampton, Va.

North Carolina Central University played well enough to win its season-opener at MEAC foe Hampton University on Saturday night in Hampton, Va. The visiting Eagles, however, could not overcome a handful of miscues and a baker’s dozen worth of penalties, as Hampton pulled out a 31-24 victory inside Armstrong Stadium.

NCCU was fl agged 13 times for 106 penalty yards, not including the positive yards gained on plays that were negated by the yellow markers on the fi eld. Most notably, an apparent 57-yard touchdown strike to red-shirt freshman receiver Andrew Johnson that would have put the Eagles on top by eight points with three minutes left in the game, was called back from a holding penalty.

That was immediately followed by a delay of game penalty and an illegal motion infraction that backed the Eagles up to their own 24-yard line. Trying to protect a one-point lead and facing fourth down and 32 yards to go, NCCU rookie punter Brian Haselsberger could not handle a bouncing snap from center and managed to only kick the ball back to the line of scrimmage.

Two plays later, Hampton senior running back LaMarcus Coker rumbled 29 yards for the game-winning touchdown with 1:28 left. The Pirates converted the two-point conversion to make the margin seven points, which held up as the fi nal score.

NCCU out-gained the Pirates with 284 yards of total offense, including 152 yards rushing, compared to 226 total yards by the home team.

NCCU red-shirt sophomore quarterback Michael Johnson was responsible for three touchdowns, including two through the air and one via the ground. He completed 9-of-21 passes for 123 yards and two touchdowns with a pair of interceptions. Johnson, who was taken to the locker room early in the third quarter for treatment of cramps, returned to the contest to engineer a four-play, 41-yard drive that he capped with an 11-yard dash into the end zone to put the Eagles on top 24-23 with 11:08 remaining in the contest.

Senior receiver Will Scott caught three passes for 18 yards and a touchdown, while adding a 48-yard rush to set up a 30-yard fi eld goal by rookie kicker Frankie Cardelle. Junior tight end Earthan Ward had four receptions for 59 yards to lead the Eagles, while red-shirt freshman Geovonie Irvine made the most of his one catch with a 34-yard touchdown.

NCCU’s rushing effort was paced by junior Tim Shankle with 58 yards on 10 carries.

The Eagle defense fl ew around the fi eld, making 10 tackles behind the line of scrimmage with three sacks, forcing four fumbles and recording two turnovers. Junior linebacker Calvin Hillie topped the NCCU defense with seven tackles, including 2.5 hits for a loss with a forced fumble and a pass break-up. Junior safety Ja’Quez Canty recorded six stops with a sack, while junior linebacker Donald Laster added fi ve solo takedowns with a sack, a forced fumble, a recovered fumble and three quarterback hurries. Junior corner back David Ingram contributed four tackles, two pass break-ups, an interception and a forced fumble for the Eagles.

Hampton was sparked by wide receiver and return specialist Damon McDaniel, who caught three passes for 59 yards and a score, and also returned a punt 82 yards for a touchdown.

Pirate signal caller David Legree completed 10-of-18 passes for 140 yards and a touchdown, while Coker fi nished with a game-high 59 ground yards on nine carries.

2North Carolina Central ..........................10#24 Liberty..............................................35

September 12, 2009Williams Stadium - Lynchburg, Va.

North Carolina Central University, in only its third season of NCAA Division I-FCS competition, held a halftime advantage against No. 24 Liberty University, but he nationally-ranked Flames rallied in the second half for a 35-10 victory in front of a school record crowd of 16,112 inside Williams Stadium in Lynchburg, Va.

NCCU jumped out to a 10-0 lead courtesy of a 6-yard touchdown pass from sophomore Michael Johnson to senior receiver Will Scott at 1:16 of the fi rst quarter, followed by a 35-yard fi eld goal by freshman Frankie Cardelle at 6:20 of the second quarter.

Liberty brought a stunned capacity crowd back into the game just before the halftime break when back-up quarterback Mike Brown ran into the end zone from seven yards out with 28 seconds left before the intermission, making the visitors’ halftime cushion 10-7.

The Flames stormed out of the locker room with a 10-play, 52-yard drive, capped by a 1-yard touchdown catch by Dominique Jones at 9:51 of the third quarter to take their fi rst lead of the game.

Liberty went up two scores after recovering a Johnson fumble on a sack at the 1-yard line and punching it in on the next play to make the score 21-10 with 10 minutes remaining in the contest.

Liberty running back B.J. Hayes put the game on ice when he broke through the Eagle defensive line and raced 74 yards for a back-breaking touchdown at 7:57.

The NCCU defense held the Flames to just 32 total yards in the fi rst quarter and a total of 113 yards at halftime. Liberty, however, posted 215 yards in the fi nal two quarters to fi nish with 328 yards of total offense, averaging 6.2 yards per play.

The visiting Eagles fi nished with 213 total yards, including 170 through the air and 43 on the ground. Johnson completed 17-of-22 passes for 121 yards and a touchdown, but threw an interception, fumbled three times and was sacked four times in the loss.

Junior running back Tim Shankle had a career-high 26 carries for 81 tough yards to top the Eagle running game, while Scott caught a team-best six passes for 62 yards and a score.

The NCCU defense was sparked by junior linebacker Donald Laster with a game-high 12 tackles, including a tackle for a loss and a quarterback hurry. Fellow linebacker Eliezer Sandifer added seven stops with a forced fumble and a fumble recovery.

3Morehead State ......................................13North Carolina Central ................ (2OT) 10


Morehead State University rookie kicker Rainer Duzan booted a 45-yard fi eld goal on the fi nal play of double overtime to defeat North Carolina Central University 13-10 at O’Kelly-Riddick Stadium in Durham, N.C. on Saturday.

Duzan missed a 38-yard fi eld goal attempt on the fi rst possession of the fi rst overtime session.

On NCCU’s fi rst overtime possession, MSU sacked sophomore quarterback Michael Johnson for a 7-yard loss, followed by two incomplete passes. NCCU freshman kicker Frankie Cardelle, who sent the contest into overtime with a 38-yard fi eld goal at 4:10 of the fourth quarter, came up short on the potential game-winner from 49 yards away.

On the second play of the second overtime, Johnson’s pass was defl ected and intercepted by senior linebacker Wes McDermott, providing the visiting Eagles a chance to win the game.

The NCCU defense pushed MSU back four yards in three plays, but Duzan silenced the crowd of 7,917 with his game-winning heroics.

NCCU amassed a season-high 328 total yards (100 rush, 228 pass), compared to 265 yards of total offense (144 rush, 121 pass) by MSU. However, untimely penalties and missed opportunities doomed the host Eagles. A fi rst-quarter holding penalty negated a long touchdown run by NCCU junior Tim Shankle, and the Eagles came up empty in both of their trips into the red zone.

“We left a lot of opportunities out on that fi eld today,” said NCCU head coach Mose Rison. “We did not have a good week of practice and we came out fl at. We were able to battle back and tie the game, but it just was not enough against a very good Morehead State football team.”

Johnson fi nished the contest with 228 yards of 20-of-41

passing with an interception and a 23-yard, game-tying touchdown connection with former high school teammate Geovonie Irvine in the third quarter (1:06). Irvine caught seven balls for 101 yards and a score to lead NCCU. Shankle contributed 83 ground yards on 18 carries.

The NCCU defense was sparked by junior lineman Teryl White with 11 tackles, including 3.0 hits behind the line of scrimmage with 1.5 sacks. Linebacker Roger Stewart added nine stops, including 2.5 hits for a loss with 1.5 sacks in the loss.

Morehead State was led by junior quarterback Evan Sawyer, who threw for 121 yards and a touchdown on 11-of-25 passing with two interceptions. His scoring strike was to Ronnie McDermott (1st, 11:22), but Sawyer’s favorite target was running back Jerrod Pendleton with three catches for 41 yards.

The MSU defense was topped by defensive back Henry Hudson with nine tackles.

SEASON REVIEW

NCCU recorded 181 total yards with 111 yards through the air. The Eagles were held to a season-low eight fi rst downs.

Sophomore quarterback Michael Johnson completed 5-of-15 passes for 82 yards, while fellow sophomore signal caller Keon Williams entered the contest in the fourth quarter to throw for 29 yards on 3-of-4 passing for the Eagles.

The Blue Devils were topped by senior quarterback Thaddeus Lewis with 189 yards and two touchdowns on 17-of-25 passing, while also rushing for his second touchdown of the season.

Sophomore Donovan Varner caught six passes for 76 yards and two trips to the end zone for Duke, while freshman running back Desmond Scott rushed for 100 yards and a touchdown in his fi rst college start.

Duke scored on its fi rst three possessions to jump out to a 21-0 lead. Patrick Kurunwune dashed 14 yards to close out a fi ve-play, 59-yard drive to put the Blue Devils on the scoreboard just two minutes, 27 seconds into the contest. Scott rushed 23 yards for the second score at 8:42 of the fi rst quarter, followed by an 18-yard connection from Lewis to Varner at 3:19 of the fi rst quarter to put Duke up 21-0.

NCCU responded with a seven-play, 70-yard drive to post its fi rst points on the board with a one-yard dive into the end zone by junior Tim Shankle at the 1:27 mark of the fi rst quarter. The drive was highlighted by a 55-yard pass play from Johnson to sophomore Geovonie Irvine, the Eagles’ longest play from scrimmage this season.

With Lewis out of the game due to a temporary

injury, Duke back-up quarterback Sean Renfree was hit by NCCU junior lineman Teryl White on his fi rst pass attempt. The wobbling ball was picked off by junior safety Jeffery Henderson, who raced 83 yards for a touchdown at 13:33 of the second quarter to narrow the NCCU defi cit to 21-14, giving the upset-minded Eagles a spark of energy.

Duke, however, answered with a 13-play, 80-yard drive, capped by a 14-yard touchdown reception by Varner with 33 seconds left before halftime, to go up 28-14 at intermission.

The Blue Devils scored two touchdowns in the third quarter, including a fumble recovery on a punt return, and one more in the fourth quarter to fi nish the scoring.

The NCCU defense was led by Henderson with 10 tackles plus his 83-yard touchdown scamper, which equals the ninth-longest interception return in school

history.“First of all, tonight was a very historic night,” said NCCU

head coach Mose Rison. “It was a tremendous feeling to have an opportunity to be a part of something so special.

“In terms of our effort, I thought early on we were sluggish,” Rison said. “Once we got our feet under us and started to understand what they were doing, we were able to make some things happen on offense. All in all, I am extremely proud of our football team and thought we played extremely hard.”

5North Carolina Central ..........................17North Carolina A&T ..................... (2OT) 23

October 3, 2009Aggie Stadium - Greensboro, N.C.

For the fi fth consecutive meeting, the outcome of the North Carolina Central University and North Carolina A&T State University football rivalry was decided on the fi nal drive.

In fact, each team had three chances to decide the game before A&T quarterback Carlton Fears connected with Wallace Miles for a 24-yard touchdown on the fi nal play of the second overtime session to defeat NCCU 23-17.

The dramatic A&T victory ended a three game-losing skid to the Eagles in front of 19,534 fans inside Aggie Stadium in Greensboro, N.C.

North Carolina A&T wasted little time getting the home crowd into the contest, marching 72 yards on the fi rst possession of the game to go up 7-0 on a 37-yard touchdown pass from Fears to Miles at 9:53.

Following an interception, the Aggies took advantage of the short fi eld by going 37 yards on seven plays to push the lead to 14-0 on a 1-yard dive by Tony Coles with 1:58 left in the fi rst quarter.

NCCU starting quarterback Michael Johnson threw his second interception of the night early in the second quarter to set up a 34-yard fi eld goal by A&T’s Patrick Courtney, making the score 17-0 with 10:40 remaining in the fi rst half.

NCCU signal caller Keon Johnson entered the game on the ensuing possession and later put the Eagles in striking distance with a 62-yard pitch-and-catch to receiver Will Scott to the Aggie 5-yard line. Three plays later, Williams threw a 2-yard touchdown strike to fullback Saeed Abdul-Azeez with just 17 ticks left before intermission.

After a scoreless third quarter, NCCU pulled to within three points at 17-14 courtesy of a career-long 73-yard touchdown reception by Scott on a screen pass from Johnson at the 12:28 mark of the fourth quarter.

With the NCCU defense holding the Aggies to consecutive three-and-out possessions, the Eagles offense moved the pigskin inside the red zone and faced a fi rst-and-goal from the 10-yard line.

NCCU running back Tim Shankle posted runs of three and six yards to set up third-and-goal from the 1-yard line. The fi rst attempt was a dive up the middle by Abdul-Azeez that was stopped for no gain by the Aggie defense, but A&T was fl agged for lining up off-side. With another shot at third-and-goal and inches away from pay-dirt, Shakle took a toss and was tackled for a 2-yard loss.

NCCU rookie kicker Frankie Cardelle booted the 20-yard fi eld goal attempt to even the score at 17-17 with 2:36 left in regulation.

A&T responded by converting on third-and-18 and third-and-10 to push the ball to the NCCU 20-yard line, setting up a potential game-winning fi eld goal with six seconds left. The 37-yard attempt by Patrick Courtney missed the mark and the Eagle-Aggie rivalry went into overtime for the third time since 1996, when the rule was put into effect by the NCAA.

On the fi rst possession of overtime, A&T was unable to take advantage of an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty against the Eagles, when Courtney missed a 29-yard fi eld goal try.

On the fi rst play of NCCU’s drive in the fi rst extra session, A&T was fl agged for a facemask penalty to put the Eagles at the 13-yard line. After a three-yard run by Shankle to the 10-yard line, NCCU head coach Mose Rison sent the kicking team on the fi eld with an apparent chip shot to win the contest. Cardelle’s 27-yard attempt, however, was blocked by Jarrell Herring to extend the

game into a second overtime.NCCU opened the second

overtime at the 40-yard line because of an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty following the blocked fi eld goal attempt. The Eagles managed fi ve yards on the fi rst three plays and faced fourth down and fi ve yards to go from the 35-yard line.

Cardelle appeared to have kicked the longest fi eld goal in NCCU history from 52 yards out, but just prior to the start of the play, the Eagles sideline called timeout. After the timeout, NCCU sent the offense back out on the fi eld to try and convert on fourth down, but the Eagles were stopped short.

A&T managed just one yard on the fi rst two plays from scrimmage, but on third-down and nine yards to go from the

Two plays later, Tim Shankle took advantage of Edwards’ fi rst interception of the season with a two-yard touchdown scamper to tie the game at 7-7 at the 5:57 mark of the fi rst quarter.

On ASU’s next offensive play, Hillie recovered a fumble at the ASU 24-yard line to set up a two-yard touchdown pass from Michael Johnson to tight end Earthan Ward. Frankie Cardelle’s extra-point kick gave the visiting Eagles a 14-7 lead with 34 seconds remaining in the opening 15 minutes of play.

The second quarter was a different story. After NCCU held the nationally-ranked Mountaineers to just 70 total yards and two

fi rst downs in the fi rst quarter, Appalachian exploded for 208 yards and 12 fi rst downs in the second stanza. ASU scored two touchdowns and a fi eld goal to take a 24-14 cushion into the locker room at intermission.

November 14, 2009Bowman Gray Stadium - Winston-Salem, N.C.

North Carolina Central University scored both of its touchdowns following Winston-Salem State University turnovers during an 18-10 victory in front of 11,232 at Bowman Gray Stadium in Winston-Salem, N.C.

The win was the fi rst for the Eagles on an opponent’s home fi eld since Oct. 20, 2007, when NCCU defeated Savannah State, 30-14. Mose Rison’s squad has now won three of its last four contests.

An aggressive NCCU defense forced four WSSU turnovers (two interceptions, two fumble recoveries) and chased the Rams’ top two quarterbacks from the game with injuries.

Sophomore linebacker Roger Stewart topped the Eagles with 10 tackles, including 2.0 hits for a loss. However, it was junior linebacker Donald Laster who caught the Rams’ attention with eight stops, including 2.5 tackles for a loss with 1.5 sacks, and his fi rst career interception.

WSSU posted the game’s fi rst points when Dominique Fitzgerald return a punt 34 yards to the NCCU 16-yard line to set up a 37-yard fi eld goal by Landen Thayer at 2:20 of the fi rst quarter.

On the ensuing possession, NCCU used two 15-yard penalties by the Rams to drive 55 yards on eight plays for a game-tying 24-yard fi eld goal by Frankie Cardelle at 13:19 of the second quarter.

Two plays into WSSU’s next drive, NCCU safety Derek Harvey blasted Ram receiver Nathan Mumford to force a fumble, which was recovered by Eagle linebacker Alex Winters at the WSSU 37-yard line. On third-and-10, NCCU quarterback Michael Johnson completed a 32-yard pass to Geovonie Irvine to the 5-yard

line. Junior running back Tim Shankle did the rest, plunging into the end zone at 12:06 of the second quarter. Cardelle missed his fi rst extra-point kick of the season, keeping the score 9-3 in favor of the visitors.

WSSU regained the lead courtesy of NCCU’s second special teams mishap, as a Ram punt touched the leg of the Eagle returner and the home team recovered inside the red zone. On third-and-goal from the 11-yard line, back-up signal caller Branden Williams connected with Omar Kizzie for a touchdown. Thayer’s extra point kick put the Rams up 10-9 with 3:02 remaining in the second stanza.

After Johnson threw just his second interception in the past fi ve games, NCCU junior cornerback Rashad Fox responded with an interception of his own and returned the pick 49 yards to the WSSU 4-yard line. One play later, Johnson found fullback Saeed Abdul-Azeez on a play-action pass for the go-ahead touchdown with 55 seconds left before intermission. Cardelle missed his second PAT kick of the game to make the NCCU advantage 15-10 at intermission.

After a scoreless third quarter, NCCU drove 70-yards on 11 plays, including a 31-yard rush by Tony McCord, to set up a 26-yard fi eld goal by Cardelle at 6:37 of the fourth quarter.

WSSU moved the pigskin as close as the NCCU 31-yard line, but on a fourth down play Williams was sacked by Laster and Thomas Wallace to seal the Rams’ fate.

Johnson fi nished with 115 yards and a touchdown on 10-of-21 passing, while Shankle topped the NCCU ground game with 80 yards and a score on 21 carries. Irvine collected three receptions for 51 yards and senior receiver Will Scott had three grabs for 34 yards.

WSSU was led by running back John Harris with 71 yards on 12 rushes. Kizzie caught six passes for 41 yards and a touchdown. Joshua Newkirk topped the Rams’ defensive effort with seven tackles.

November 21, 2009O’Kelly-Riddick Stadium - Durham, N.C.

North Carolina Central University’s seniors stole the show on Senior Day, leading the Eagles to a 35-14 season-ending win over Savannah State University at O’Kelly-Riddick Stadium in Durham, N.C. on Saturday.

The victory was the fourth in the last fi ve games for NCCU, as the Eagles complete their third season of Division I competition with a 4-7 record.

NCCU senior receiver Will Scott caught seven passes for 120 yards and equaled a career-best with three touchdowns. Among the school’s leading receivers, Scott fi nished his career ranked eighth with 121 receptions, sixth with 1,975 receiving yards and tied for fi fth with 19 touchdown catches.

Senior safety Derek Harvey amassed a career-high 15 tackles, more than any other Eagle in the past two-and-a-half seasons, while adding an assisted sack. Senior linebacker Alex Winters also had a career day with 11 tackles, including takedown behind the line of scrimmage.

Two other seniors playing in their fi nal college game, offensive tackle Gabriel Manns and fullback Saeed Abdul-Azeez, helped pave the way for NCCU to record 416 yards of total offense.

Three NCCU juniors also had big performances on defense. Linebacker Donald Laster seemed to be in the Tiger backfi eld all day, recording 11 tackles (6 solo), including 2.5 hits for a loss with 1.5 sacks, and an astounding fi ve quarterback hurries. Fellow linebacker Calvin Hillie added eight stops, while defensive tackle Teryl White had eight tackles with 2.0 hits for a loss.

NCCU red-shirt sophomore quarterback Michael Johnson completed 15-of-22 passes for 233 yards and a career-high four touchdowns against the Tigers to fi nish his second season under center with 1,931 passing yards. Only four other NCCU quarterbacks (Earl Harvey, Stadford Brown, Brad McAdams and Adrian Warren) have thrown for more yards in a single season.

Savannah State (2-8) was led by sophomore quarterback Kurvin Curry with 254 yards of total offense, including 173 yards and a touchdown through the air and 81 yards and another score on the ground.

NCCU wasted little time lighting the scoreboard, as Michael Johnson connected with sophomore receiver Andrew Johnson on a 69-yard touchdown pass on the team’s fi rst offensive play of

the game. Freshman kicker Frankie Cardelle’s extra-point kick made the score 7-0 at 8:13 of the fi rst quarter.

SSU responded on its next possession, driving 80 yards on 12 plays with Curry running eight yards for the game-tying score at 2:48 of the opening stanza.

Scott caught the fi rst of his three touchdown passes from 12 yards out at 12:17 of the second quarter to give the Eagles a 14-7 advantage at intermission.

Four plays into the second half, Michael Johnson completed a 56-yard bomb to Scott to give the home team a two-touchdown cushion at 13:18 of the third quarter.

The visiting Tigers narrowed the gap to 21-14 with 4:29 left in the third quarter when Curry hit Deleon Hollinger in the end zone for a 17-yard score.

On NCCU’s fi rst snap of the fourth quarter, junior running back Tony McCord broke through the SSU defense and raced 80 yards for a touchdown. The game-changing run was the longest by an Eagle in 13 years (89-yard TD scamper by Shawn Gibbs on Oct. 5, 1996) and the longest offensive play from scrimmage since Darrell Sanders caught an 81-yard pass from Brandon Roberson on Oct. 30, 1999. More importantly, McCord’s trip to the end zone put the Eagles up by two touchdowns with 11:34 remaining in the contest.

NCCU sealed the victory with 5:37 on the clock when Scott hauled in a 24-yard pass for his third touchdown of the game. Cardelle’s fi fth successful PAT kick made the fi nal score 35-14.

NCCU AT A GLANCE

Since 1910, the mission of North Carolina Central University (NCCU) has been to prepare students academically and professionally to become leaders. NCCU is a comprehensive institution, which offers bachelor’s degrees in more than 100 fi elds of study and awards graduate degrees in an estimated 40 disciplines. The University has a state-of-the-art biotechnology research institute, which collaborates with pharmacy and biotech companies in the much-touted Research Triangle Park area, where NCCU is found. RTP is home to the largest pharmaceutical companies in the world – GSK (GlaxoSmithKline) and Merck.

With nearly 9,000 students enrolled, the historically black university is diverse. International studies and exchange programs attract exchange students from more than 12 countries, including Liberia, India, Senegal, Sierra Leone, Nepal, China, the Czech Republic, Nigeria, South Korea, Russia, the Dominican Republic, Mexico, and South Africa.

Some programs are attracting students to NCCU, including the Institute for Homeland Security and Workforce Development, Biomanufacturing, Nursing, Education, Law, Business and Hospitality and Tourism.

Juniors, seniors and professors are encouraged to mentor incoming freshmen—“to help them adjust to college life.” More importantly is the university’s commitment to prepare and equip students with the knowledge and skill to compete in the global marketplace.

Through the scholarship and teaching of its faculty, and the many contributions to society of its alumni, NCCU seeks to fulfi ll its motto of “Truth and Service.”

North Carolina Central University is accredited by the Commission on Colleges of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools to award baccalaureate and masters degrees.

UNIVERSITY MISSION

North Carolina Central University is a comprehensive university offering programs at the baccalaureate, master’s, and selected professional levels. It is the nation’s fi rst public liberal arts institution founded for African-Americans. The

university upholds a strong liberal arts tradition and a commitment to academic excellence in a diverse educational and cultural environment. It seeks to encourage intellectual productivity and to increase the academic and professional skills of its students and faculty.

The mission of the university is to prepare students academically and professionally to become leaders prepared to advance the consciousness of social responsibility in a diverse, global society. The university will serve its traditional clientele of African-American students; it will also expand its commitment to meet the educational needs of a student body that is diverse in race and other socioeconomic qualities.

Teaching, supported by research, is the primary focus of the university. As a part of that focus, the university encourages its faculty to pursue intellectual development and rewards effective teaching and research. The university recognizes, however, the mutually reinforcing impact of scholarship and service on effective teaching and learning. North Carolina Central University, therefore, encourages and expects faculty and students to engage in scholarly, creative, and service activities, which benefi t the community.

Chancellor Charlie Nelms assumed his duties as Chancellor of North Carolina Central University August 1, 2007.

Prior to joining the NCCU family, Nelms served as vice president for Institutional Development and Student Affairs at Indiana University, which enrolls approximately 100,000 students on eight campuses. In his role as IU’s vice president for Institutional Development and Student Affairs, Nelms was responsible for a combination of duties on the Bloomington campus and systemwide that spanned university planning, institutional research and effectiveness, enrollment management, student affairs, academic support services, K-12 outreach initiatives, student retention, honors programs, and diversity and equity efforts. In September 2001, TIME magazine named IU’s Bloomington campus the

number-one student-centered research university in the nation. Many of the programs cited by TIME were under Nelms’ oversight and direction.

A native of Crawfordsville, Arkansas, Nelms majored in agronomy and chemistry at the University of Arkansas at Pine Bluff, graduating in 1968. He later earned a master’s degree in higher education and student affairs (1971) and a doctoral degree in higher education administration (1977) from Indiana University. Early in his career, he rose through the faculty and administrative ranks as associate dean for Student Development at Earlham College in Indiana (1973-1977), associate director of the Center for Human Development and Education Services at the UAPB (1977-1978), associate dean for Academic Affairs at Indiana University Northwest (1978-

1984) and vice president for Student Services at Sinclair Community College in Ohio (1984- 1987).

In 1987, Nelms began a seven-year tenure as chancellor of Indiana University East, a commuter campus serving east-central Indiana. During his tenure there, the campus was the fastest-growing college in the State of Indiana. In 1994, Nelms was named chancellor of the University of Michigan at Flint (UMF), an urban campus that enrolls over 6,500 students and offers a full spectrum o f u n d e r g r a d u a t e and master ’s degree programs. Before being recruited to Indiana University in 1998, he resolved a significant campus budget deficit, reversed a four-year enrollment decline, and secured more than $75 million in private gifts to UMF.

DR. CHARLIE NELMSNCCU Chancellor

Nelms holds honorary degrees from Earlham College and the University of Arkansas at Pine Bluff. Over the course of his career, he has received numerous awards for his contributions to education and service to students, including the Benjamin Hooks Award for Meritorious Achievement from the Gary (IN) branch of the NAACP, the Distinguished Alumni Service Award from Indiana University, the Distinguished Alumni Award from the IU School of Education, the President’s Medal from the University of Michigan, and the State of Indiana’s Sagamore of the Wabash—the highest civilian award bestowed by the governor.

Nelms is married to Jeanetta Sherrod Nelms. They have one son, Rashad, a graduate of the University of Michigan Law School who serves as a policy offi cer with the United Nations World Food Programme.

The 1989 men’s basketball team won the NCAA Division II National Championship by defeating Southeast Missouri State 73-46 in the title game on March 25, 1989. The Eagles also captured an NCAA Division II Regional Championship in 1993.

North Carolina Central University’s athletics programs have enjoyed regional and national recognition for years. Fourteen men’s and women’s sports teams participate in National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) competition at the Division I level (Football Championship Subdivision) as members of the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference (MEAC).

The 1989 men’s basketball team won the NCAA Division II Men’s National Championship. Other men’s intercollegiate teams include football, indoor and outdoor track, tennis, baseball, golf and cross country. Women’s intercollegiate teams include basketball, volleyball, indoor and outdoor track, tennis, softball, bowling and cross country.

Several former student-athletes and coaches are nationally and internationally known.

Heading the charge of the 1996 Atlanta Olympic Games was Dr. LeRoy T. Walker, President of the U.S. Olympic Committee, who lifted the Eagle track & fi eld program to international prominence during his unprecedented tenure as head coach at

NCCU. Under Walker’s reign, the Eagles produced 30 national titles, 77 all-americans, and eight Olympic medalists.

Legendary basketball practitioner, John B. McLendon, a member of the National Basketball Hall of Fame, established a remarkable record of 239-68 (.779) as an Eagle head coach from 1940 to 1952. A student of the late Dr. James Naismith, the inventor of basketball, McLendon is credited with the development of the zone press, fast break and four corners offense.

Boston Celtic great Sam Jones, a student-athlete under McLendon and a fellow Hall-of-Famer, became the fi rst black player to be drafted in the fi rst round after scoring a record 1,745 points during his stellar NCCU career.

Internationally-renowned artist, Ernie Barnes, best-known for his famous paintings seen on the 1970s sitcom “Good Times,” played football for NCCU prior to a professional gridiron career with the Baltimore Colts, San Diego Chargers and Denver Broncos.

The LeRoy T. Walker Physical Education Complex houses a multi-purpose gymnasium, Olympic-sized swimming and diving pool, athletic training facilities, strength and fi tness center, and much more. O’Kelly-Riddick Stadium hosts NCCU football action for a capacity crowd of 10,000 dedicated Eagle fans. In November, McDougald-McLendon Gymnasium lights-up with men’s and women’s basketball excitement (3,056 capacity).

NCCU ATHLETICS HISTORY

North Carolina Central University boasts a rich tradition in athletic competition, dating back to the same academic year the University opened its doors for the fi rst time.

The fi rst organized sports team at what was then the National Training School and Chautauqua was baseball, fi elding a squad in the spring of 1911.

Since that time, Eagle student-athletes have competed in sports such as boxing, wrestling and swimming, in addition to the sports currently offered by NCCU: baseball, men’s and women’s basketball, women’s bowling, men’s and women’s cross country, football, men’s golf, softball, men’s and women’s tennis, men’s and women’s indoor and outdoor track & fi eld, and women’s volleyball.

NCCU joined the Central Intercollegiate Athletic Association (then named the Colored Intercollegiate Athletic Association) in 1928. In 1971, NCCU was one of the founding members of the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference, established as an NCAA Division II conference. In 1980, NCCU returned to the CIAA, an NCAA Division II conference, when the MEAC opted to make the move to the NCAA Division I level of competition. NCCU remained in the CIAA until the summer of 2007, when the University

began year one of its reclassifi cation to NCAA Division I (Football Championship Subdivision) membership. On July 1, 2010, NCCU rejoined the MEAC as a provisional member.

Teams and individual student-athletes have competed in national tournaments in several sports, including football, men’s and women’s basketball, men’s and women’s indoor and outdoor track & fi eld, women’s cross country, women’s volleyball, softball and men’s tennis, winning national championships in men’s basketball and track and fi eld.

During the university’s membership in the CIAA and MEAC, teams won 41 conference championships, made 21 NCAA regional appearances, won three NCAA regional titles, and earned two team national championships (1989 NCAA Division II Men’s Basketball and 1972 NAIA Men’s Outdoor Track & Field). More than 55 student-athletes have captured individual

NCAA and NAIA national championships.

That level of success extended to the international s t age . S tuden t -a th le t e s represented NCCU in six consecutive Olympic Games from 1956-76 in the sport of track & fi eld. During that time, the individuals captured eight Olympic medals, including fi ve gold medals.

Ingrid Wicker-McCree, Ed.D. was appointed as the Director of Athletics at North Carolina Central University on April 23, 2008, after holding the interim position for fi ve months.

She offi cially began her new leadership role on May 1, 2008.

Wicker-McCree, who joined the rank of only a handful of women athletic directors in the UNC system, previously served as NCCU’s associate athletics director for internal affairs. She has served in a variety of leadership positions in both conference and national level organizations, most notably as president of the Central Intercollegiate Athletic Association (CIAA) Executive Board from 2004-06, becoming only the second woman to ever hold that position in the league’s history. In addition, she served as a member of the NCAA’s Division II Legislation Committee from 2003-07.

In recognition of her work, Wicker-McCree received the CIAA Leadership Award for Service as president of the Executive Board and was named the CIAA Senior Woman Administrator of the Year in the spring of 2006.

Now in her 16th year at NCCU, Wicker-McCree has been one of the driving forces behind NCCU’s reclassifi cation to NCAA Division I. Since 1998, she has overseen the internal operations of the Athletics Department, including all compliance and eligibility programs.

Although in the early stages of her tenure as Director of Athletics, Wicker-McCree has already established herself as a strong and forward-thinking leader. Under her supervision, several booster clubs have now joined forces into one focused support organization - the Eagle Club. She also spearheaded the effort to have artifi cial turf installed in O’Kelly-Riddick Stadium.

Wicker-McCree began her career at NCCU as the head coach for women’s volleyball and softball. She became the fi rst coach in NCCU history to win conference championships in multiple sports, capturing the school’s fi rst-ever CIAA titles in softball (1998) and volleyball (1999, 2004, 2005). A three-time CIAA Volleyball Coach of the Year (1999, 2002, 2005) and former member of the NCAA Division II National Volleyball Committee, Wicker-McCree earned 239 match victories in 12 seasons as head volleyball coach at NCCU. She was also inducted into the NCCU Athletic Hall of Fame in 2004 as head coach of the 1998 softball team.

A native of Durham and graduate of C.E. Jordan High School, Wi c k e r - M c C r e e played on two North Carolina high school state volleyball championship teams, while also lettering in basketball and track and fi eld. She continued her volleyball playing career as a student-athlete at George Washington University.

W i c k e r -McCree earned her undergraduate degree in criminal justice from George Washington University in 1989, and a master’s degree in recreation resources administration from North Carolina State University in December 1991. She also completed doctoral studies in higher education administration at North Carolina State University in June 2008.

On April 20, 2010, Wicker-McCree was presented with the Outstanding Alumnus Award from North Carolina State University’s Department of Parks, Recreation and Tourism Management.

She began her coaching career as a graduate assistant coach for the women’s volleyball program at N.C. State (1989-90). She then spent two seasons (1992-93) as head volleyball coach and student-athlete academic counselor at North Carolina A&T

State University before returning to her hometown to begin her NCCU tenure in August 1994.

Wicker-McCree and her husband, Geno McCree, a three-sport collegiate student-athlete and 1991 graduate of Elon University, are the proud parents of Alexia, Quinton, and Sydney.

Ingrid Wicker-McCree accepts the 2007 Loretta Taylor All-Sports Trophy, recognizing the top all-around women's program in the conference, from Jeffrey McLeod of the CIAA.

HELP THE EAGLES WIN CHAMPIONSHIPS!!“Winning” for the Eagles is more than outscoring the opponent, it is excelling in the classroom, actively participating in community service projects and adhering to NCAA rules regarding recruitment and admission of student-athletes.

How can you help the Eagles win? Follow the NCAA rules. The NCAA defi nes an institution as the University, its employees, its student-athletes, and its representatives of athletics interests, including parents alumnus/and fans. Therefore, beware of the following:

NCAA BYLAW 13.1.2.1

In Division I, representatives of an institution’s athletics interests are prohibited from making in-person, on- or off-campus recruiting contacts, including written and/or telephonic communications with a prospect or the prospect’s relatives or legal guardians.

A prospect is defi ned as any student who has started classes for the ninth grade, whether the student participates in athletics is not relevant to the classifi cation as a prospect and neither is gender.

A SERVICE OF THE NCCU EAGLE ATHLETICS DEPARTMENT OFFICE OF COMPLIANCE

NCAA rules inquiries may be directed to:Etienne H. Thomas * Associate Director of Athletics/SWA * 919/530-7053

NCAA BYLAW 16.02.3

An extra benefi t is any special arrangement by an institutional employee or a representative of the institution’s athletics interests to provide a student-athlete or the student-athlete’s relative or friend a benefi t not expressly authorized by NCAA legislation.

Unless you are willing to give a benefi t to all 8,000 students at NCCU, don’t give it to a student-athlete or a prospect.

The Eagle Club

If you haven’t heard, there’s a new booster club at North Carolina Central University. It’s the all-new Eagle Club. Yes, more than a half-dozen of our athletic booster clubs, including the original long-standing Eagle Club, have joined forces to create a superpower club that provides scholarship support for all NCCU student-athletes. It’s an important step forward as we move up to Division I.

That’s right, all NCCU teams are going Division I. This is big time. As one unifi ed booster club, we’ll be a more structured organization that combines the efforts of our most dedicated supporters. Likewise, it strengthens our ability to build championship teams as we advance to a more challenging level of play.

If you’re a previous booster club member, your past giving history will be recognized when you continue on with the new Eagle Club. For everyone who contributes, this is your chance to become a charter member of the new Eagle Club. As a member, you’ll be part of the only fundraising organization for the athletic department sanctioned by the university.

Next to student-athletes, our supporters are the most important assets to our athletic program. With your help, we’ll be able to offer more scholarships to the most talented student-athletes, as well as provide them with world-class facilities.

For more details about the Eagle Club, call (919) 530-7057 or visit www.NCCUEagleClub.com.
