often in the past, but has also found success with more mobile

quarterbacks. His offense has produced both 3,000 yard passers and

1,000 yard rushers. Ignatius has averaged 29.5 points per game since

his arrival.

Education

Stunt packages are a large part of the defense's strategy, and it requires the team to keep as

many men in the box while maintaining sufficient coverage from the secondary.

Awards

2008 - Greater Cleveland Football

Coaches Association Assistant Coach of

the Year

Runs a swarming 3-5 stack defense. His blitzing schemes create

pressure on the opposing quarterback while relying on both zone and

man coverage from his defensive backs. The outside linebackers in

the 3-5 stack tend to be athletic, bringing the most pressure of any

position on the defense on the opposing team's quarterback. He has

moved players into 4-3 and 4-4 defenses in the past to maximize the

talent on the field.

conversion. The Cats continued to bring the pressure, sacking opposing quarterbacks 36 times.

The Cats produced 21 turnovers in 12 games in 2009.

Record at Lancaster/CareerAssistant Coaches


Playing in College: Nine players from the Lancaster

class of 2009 are playing on NCAA football rosters

(NC State, Mount Union, West Point among the most

notable).

Lancaster Location: Lancaster is located 30 miles southeast of Columbus, Ohio. The average

drive from Lancaster to Columbus is about 40-50 minutes. This game is the second in a four

game trip which will bring Saint Ignatius to Dayton, Stuebenville, and Columbus. Last season

the team only traveled to Buffalo, Warren, Lakewood, Parma, and University Heights. Only one

of those games was more than 100 miles away.

Return to Central Ohio: Saint Ignatius football has

played 8 games all-time against teams from Central

Ohio (none since 2003). Ignatius is 7-1 in those

games. Ignatius is 1-1 against Saint Francis DeSales,

4-0 against Westerville North, and are 1-0 against both

Westerville South and Pickerington.

Historical Landmark: In 2003, as part of Ohio's bicentenial, the High School was made a

historical landmark due to Robert G. Heft's designing of the 50-star flag. He originally designed

it as a school project; he only got a B- on the assignment after it was turned in. It was changed

to an A after Congress accepted the flag design.

The Carpenter Family: Coach Rob Carpenter played

10 seasons in the NFL for the Rams, Giants, and

Oilers gaining 4,363 yards and scoring 29 TDs. His

sons all played college ball – Nathan finished at

Lancaster in 2010 and will play at Ohio, Georgie is

currently at Marshall, Jonathan played for the Bearcats

in Cincinnati (and is currently coaching as a graduate

assistant), and Bobby played for Ohio State prior to

playing for the Dallas Cowboys. As players at the

collegiate level, no Carpenter has ever lost in a bowl

game (11-0).

Lancaster Pronunciation: Many in Lancaster make it a point to tell visitors that Lan-CASS-ter

is located in Pennsylvania. In Ohio, there is only Lan-KISS-ter.

Recent Successes: 6 of the past 7 years the Golden Gales have made the OHSAA Playoffs

(1989, '93, '94, 2003, '04, '05, '06, '07, '09). They have held shares of their conference

championship 5 of the past 7 years in the Ohio Capital Conference (2003, '04, '05, '06, '07, '09).

Series Information:

Tradition in Winning: Centerville has made the

OHSAA Playoffs each of the last three years, and five

of the last six. They have qualified for the playoffs 11

times. They have also won a share of their

conference title 21 times since 1975. Their last losing

season was in 1974, when the team went 4-6. The

Elks have played for one OHSAA state championship,

falling to Saint Ignatius in 1991, a summary of that

game is on the left.

1991 OHSAA State Championship Game: After a pair of early turnovers in Saint Ignatius

territory, the Wildcats found themselves down by 14 points just 5:08 into the first quarter. The

Cats fought back, though, and were able to make it a 14-9 game by the end of the first period.

Defensive back Joe Lewandowski recorded a safety on the first play after a brilliant punt by TJ

Mandat (off a bobbled snap). On the kickoff resulting from the safety, Dean Lamirand returned

the ball to the Centerville 11, where a ten yard blast by Eric Haddad and a one yard touchdown

run by Brandon Hatton brought the game to a five point margin. An Elks missed field goal set

up a series of possessions with no scoring, until a score with under ten seconds left gave

Centerville broke the scoring. The score at half had the Elks leading 21-9.

Saint Ignatius, while down 12 points, never lost their composure. In the third quarter, an all-out

blitz by the Elks with the Wildcats in their own territory allowed Lamirand to find an opening in

the coverage in the third quarter, and he raced for a 72-yard touchdown on a perfectly thrown

ball by quarterback Kevin Mayer. Entering the fourth quarter, the Cats trailed by a score of 21-

16. Then, with 7:10 left, one of the great playcalls in Cats history. Kevin Mayer took the snap

and tosses the ball to Cats running back Eric Haddad, who pulled up near the line of

scrimmage and tossed a 37-yard touchdown pass to receiver Mike Sako who elluded four

tacklers for the go-ahead score. A Kevin Mayer to Eric Haddad swing pass for the two-point

conversion would close out the scoring. (Information from Tim Hudak's Wildcats! Vol. 2, Page

2008 Saint Xavier Win, 19-16

They Don’t Rebuild, They Reload: Though Bosco loses many athletes to graduation, they

bring back three-star Pitt commit Gary Nova and highly touted defensive back/running back

Paul Canevari. Nova fired 23 touchdowns to just 3 interceptions as a junior and threw for 1,668

yards. Nova follows Wildcats QB Mark Myers to Pitt. Two graduates of the class of 2010

committed to Pitt after last season. Canevari runs a 4.69 40-yard dash and will be moving to

halfback after two years at DB.

Smile for the Cameras: Saint Ignatius played in the

first high school game ever nationally televised. Don

Bosco Prep, however, has played three games on

national television in the past three years defeating De

La Salle High School from California in 2007 and

2008, and Prattville from Alabama in 2009.

Feeding College Football: Ten players on the 2009

football team at Bosco will be continuing their athletic

careers at the Division I NCAA level. Colleges

chosen by Don Bosco athletes include Pitt, Virginia,

Boston College, Yale, Vanderbilt, and Colorado. The

Ironmen lose two running backs, two defensive ends,

two linebackers, three offensive linemen and a wide

receiver to Division I universities.

Just another National Champion: Saint Ignatius has

played numerous national champions in its history. In

2008, the Cats played the defending national

champion Bombers of Saint Xavier. Canton McKinley,

whom the Wildcats are 10-4 against in the Chuck Kyle

era, won the national title in ‘97. Moeller, winners of

five national titles, are winless against Ignatius (0-4, 0-

2 in the playoffs.) The team with the most titles is

Massillon Washington (9-time champs), the Cats are

12-1 against them all-time. In ‘95 the Cats shared the

national title with Berwick. The Cats defeated Berwick

handily in ‘97 (37-6), but lost a nail biter 30-28 in ‘98,

their most recent match up. The Cats are 0-2 against

Penn Hills. In all the Cats have played 6 former

national champions.

Conference Switch: Mentor will be switching from the LEL to the Northeast Ohio Conference

beginning in 2011. Menot has plenty of success in the LEL, going 59-13 (.819) under Coach

Trivisonno. He is 36-31 (.539) out of conference in 13 seasons.

Outscored: 2009 marked the first time the Cardinals

have had a sub-.500 mark under Coach Triv. This

was the second time they were outscored.

440-974-5304

Outmatched: Although Mentor v. Ignatius is usually a

very competitive rivalry, the Wildcat football program

out scored Mentor 136-7 at the JV, freshman, and

Varsity levels in 2009 over the course of four games.

The 40 point win in 2009 at the varsity level is second

in the series to the Cats 41 point win in 1989.

NFL Players from the Mentor Football Program:

Bob Hallen, Tom Barndt, Paul Ryzcak, Dan Ryzcak,

and Tom Rickey.

Difficult 2009: In 2009, although the team lost only

four games, the Cardinals were unable to qualify for

the playoffs for the first time since 2005. Losses to

Solon (Regional Finalist), Saint Ignatius (Regional

Semifinalist), Archbishop Moeller (Regional

Quarterfinalist), and Massillon (State Semifinalist) left

the Cardinals out of the hunt. That experience,

however, allows them to bring back over half of their

starting lineup.

Tough Schedule: Four of Mentor’s opponents made

the playoffs in 2009, and seven made the playoffs in

2008. Opponents had a combined regular season

record of 59-40-1 in 2009, and two teams had perfect

regular seasons in 2009 (Solon and Saint Ignatius).

Charity Game: In week one both Saint Ignatius and

Mentor will participate in a doubleheader at Cleveland

Browns Stadium. Mentor will face the Eagles of Saint

Edward before Saint Ignatius takes on Lake Catholic

on August 28th.

Heavily Publicized: In 2009 the Mentor v. Ignatius

game was covered by four radio stations live and two

Colts Connection: Just as Saint Ignatius has a

player currently on the Colts (Anthony Gonzalez),

Cathedral Prep’s Bob Sanders ’00 was former

Defensive Player of the year and is a two time Pro

Bowl selection and is a currently playing safety for

Indianapolis. Sanders signed the richest contract ever

given to a safety in the NFL, and is known to be one of

the most physical run defenders in the league.

Underclassmen’s Success v. Prep: While no recent

match ups have pitted the varsity football teams

against each other, freshman and JV have both

continued to play Prep. In 2009 the JV team defeated

prep 35-7 and the freshman team defeated Prep 6-0.

In 2007, the current seniors defeated Prep 22-14 in a

freshman game in 2008.

Since 2003: In 2005, Don Holl took over at Cathedral

Prep from then-coach Mike Mischler. After four

seasons Holl resigned, returning the job to Mischler

who had already coached the Ramblers for seven

years and had coached at Iroquis for three seasons

(17-16). In his first season back at the helm, Mischler

was 11-3. He is now 72-28 (.720) as a head coach at

Prep.

The Rivalry: In 2008 the Wildcats and Eagles were

ranked the number six high school football rivalry in

the country. The article by Rivals explained that

Ignatius and Ed's have even competed in a "Battle

of Blood" - to see which school could donate more

blood to the American Red Cross. Needless to

say, the West Side War is one of the most intense

in high school football.

Strength of Schedule: Many have said Saint

Edward has the toughest schedule in the state.

They play three Cincinnati Powers and go to

defending D-III Champ, Cardinal Mooney.

Saint Ignatius at Byers Field (Splits)

1-1 (.500)

Byers Field has an official capacity of 11, 423 and a FieldTurf surface. The turf surface

has often been an issue of complaint for many athletes, as it can be difficult to find good

footing during inclement weather. The stadium is currently home to Saint Ignatius, Parma,

Normandy, and Valley Forge. The press box holds about 30 reporters and broadcasters,

with a room for reporters to file stories on the opposite side of the field underneath the

visitor’s bleachers adjacent to the official’s locker room. Coaches’ boxes can be found on

either side of the press box, with a scoreboard operator located adjacent to the section

seven loge.

Saint Ignatius has held a distinct home

field advantage at Byers Field. In 2010

they will be playing four home games and

in 2009 they were 6-0 in the friendly

confines with comeback wins against

Glenville, Northmont (largest in school

history), and Massillon.

About the Stadium: Byers Field is a multi-use facility built for football, track, rugby, and

soccer. With the addition of a large video board in one end zone (which is used for down

and distance, score, time remaining, instant replays, and live action video), Byers Field

has modernized its facilities for fans. The stadium lights, which were originally located in

front of the stands, are no located at the corners of the stands, making sure every fan’s

view unimpeded. Concession stands are found beneath the home team’s grandstands,

and all locker rooms are found beneath the home grandstands as well. The press box is

located above the home grandstands between the stadium’s two loges - each holding 32

fans (found over sections three and seven.)

Please note that the Cleveland Browns Stadium game v. Lake Catholic is considered an AWAY GAME for Saint Ignatius. The

credentials for the Charity Game are distributed by Home Team Marketing.

This is Saint Ignatius' 3rd game at Bedford Bearcat Stadium. Saint Ignatius is 2-

0 all-time in Bedford.

About the Stadium: Cleveland Browns Stadium is the home to the

National Football League’s Cleveland Browns. The stadium was

constructed to host the Browns following their return to the NFL in

their 1999 expansion season. Located just off Lake Erie, the wind is

often a major factor in the kicking and passing games. Ignatius hasn't

played at the Browns stadium since Cleveland Municipal Stadium.

Week One: Lake Catholic Cougars


Location: 100 Alfred Lerner Way

Cleveland, Ohio, 44114

Saint Ignatius is 9-22-3 all-time in professional stadiums (League Park,

Cleveland Stadium). This is the 50th stadium Chuck Kyle has coached

in (since 1983).

CBS has played host to college football games (including Ohio State

v. Toledo in 2009), international soccer matches, and some of the

biggest concerts tours in the nation in the past, few high school

games have been played in the stadium. The grass surface has been

a major drawback to holding high school games at CBS. The stadium

holds 73,200 people, making it the second largest stadium in the

state of Ohio, and as an NFL stadium, it will have all the amenities

needed for broadcasting or print journalists. The game will be

preceded with a match-up between Mentor and Saint Edward, both of

whom are on the Saint Ignatius schedule in 2010.

About the Stadium: Built in 1994, Bedford Bearcat Stadium is a 5,000

seat stadium and the home of the Bedford Bearcats. With 3,000 seats

on the press box side and 2,000 seats on the opposite side of the

field, the Stadium features a standing room only capacity of 8,000.

The stands span from goal line to goal line on the home side, with

slightly shorter stands on the away side of the stadium.

Week Two: Bedford Bearcats

Bedford Bearcat Stadium

Location: 481 Northfield Rd.

Bedford, Ohio, 44146

Saint Ignatius has not played a game within the Cleveland city limits since 1991. Their last game in Cleveland was against

the Padua Bruins at John Marshall Field. Saint Ignatius was the away team for that game, picking up a 37-14 win. The

Wildcats play in Cleveland at Cleveland Browns Stadium against Mentor Lake Catholic week one, Saint Ignatius will, again,

be the road team.

A FieldTurf surface highlights the on-field amenities, while a

520-square foot scoreboard can be found beyond one of the

end zones. Field lighting is provided by four banks on lights

located behind the stands to give spectators a clear view of the

action. Noted as the #1 Athletic Facility in Greater Cleveland

in 2006 and 2007 by the Cleveland Plain Dealer, the stadium

also acts as home of the Cleveland City Stars, a professional

soccer team. When the City Stars play on the field, it goes by

the name Middlefield Cheese Stadium. The Wildcats last

game at Bedford was against Warren G. Harding in 2004. The

Cats won that game 56-0. That was also the most recent time

the Wildcats played a home game away from Byers Field in

Parma.



This is the first time Saint Ignatius has played at Centerville Stadium.

This is the 52nd stadium Chuck Kyle has coached in.

This is the first time Saint Ignatius has played at Fulton Field. This is the 51st

stadium Chuck Kyle has coached in.

The stadium holds up to 7,500 fans. The press box is rather old, and

therefore doesn't have many press amenities (no wireless).

Lancaster does provide a phone line available for press. After

Golden Gale wins, the Victory Bell is rung. The bell is located on the

South end of the stadium. After all games, the team and the

Lancaster cheerleaders lead the fans in the singing of the Alma

Mater.

Saint Ignatius will travel to Browns Stadium, Bedford, Lancaster, Centerville, and Stuebenville before finally going home to

Robert M. Boulton Stadium. This is the first time in Ignatius football history the team will play five consecutive road games.

They played four straight road games in 2001, going just 1-3. This is only the third time ('85, '99) that the Cats have

scheduled six road games in one regular season.

Week Four: Centerville Elks

Centerville Stadium

Location: 500 East Franklin St.

Centerville, Ohio, 45459

Opened in 1979, the stadium seats 8,000 screaming fans

(10,000 Standing Room Only) and has long been known as

one of the most difficult places to play in the state. The Dayton

Daily News named it the toughest stadium for opposing teams

to play in the Miami Valley. The team lost only one game at

home, with a missed field goal sealing their loss to Cincinnati

Moeller.

The field was re-turfed two years ago with a synthetic turf. In

describing the field, the Daily News article goes on to speak of the

blaring music, the large scoreboard, and the raucous student section

as reasons the team has a 12th man at Centerville Stadium. During

night games it is common for the fans to participate in a black-out, a

tradition that has been known to make it difficult for opposing players

to maintain concentration. Their band features 200 students and

finished in the top ten of marching bands in the Bands of America

national competition a year ago. They repeat their competitive show

following home games.

Week Three: Lancaster Golden Gales

Fulton Field

Location: 825 East Fair Ave.

Lancaster, Ohio, 43130

Located behind Thomas Ewing Junior High in Lancaster (but

accessible from the North via the high school), the stadium

was built in the 1960's and has undergone some minor

changes over the past 50 years. The stadium is built in a

valley on a winding lane (Arbor Valley Frtive) along a creek

(Fetters Run). Both ends of the stadium are open, with

bleachers lining borth sidelines the entire length of the field.

The field is surrounded by an eight-lane track. The field

surface remains natural grass, and there is no video board at

Lancaster Stadium.



Home Team Advantage?: Saint Ignatius is 3-3 at Ballaban Field and 2-0 at Bedford Bearcat Stadium all time. The Wildcats,

as mentioned above, haven't played at any of the other stadiums the 2010 team will travel to.

Playing in new surroundings: Saint Ignatius is 42-7 under Coach Kyle in new stadiums since 1983 (his first season as head

coach). This season Saint Ignatius will play games at four venues Coach Kyle previously hasn't coached in - Cleveland

Browns Stadium, Lancaster, Centerville, and Stuebenville.

This is the first time Saint Ignatius has played at Harding Stadium. This is the

53rd stadium Chuck Kyle has coached in.

With seats on all four sides of the field, the fans are seated directly

over the players. Perhaps most impressive is the stadium’s

scoreboard with a stallion (“Man O’ War” horse) mounted on top,

which shoots a six foot flame above the scoreboard following a Big

Red touchdown. It also features a 14’ x 14’ video screen. A two story

press box has room for coaches, broadcasters, and print journalists.

Recent upgrades include ProGrass synthetic turf, an upgraded

surround sound system, and a new lighting system. The stadium was

also the first Ohio high school stadium to have “miked” referees in

game. The game between Saint Ignatius and Don Bosco Prep is part

of an annual Rally in the Valley event.

About the Stadium: Seating 6,713 for soccer, football, and

lacrosse, Xavier stadium is a multipurpose high school facility

that recent underwent renovations as recently as 2003.

Standing room crowds have often been reported as over

10,000. The stadium is located on campus and is the

centerpiece of the school’s athletic facilities. With high rising

home stands, the Blue Monster – a nickname for the team’s

well known student section – is located on the scoreboard side

of the field. Alumni groups and the Xavier band are located

beyond the end zones. The press facilities feature plenty of

room for print journalists as well as broadcasters.
