MEMO TO THE MEDIA

This past fall, the Edinboro University football team enjoyed its finest season ever on the
NCAA Division II level and the accomplishments achieved by running back Elbert Cole may have
been unmatched by any athlete in the school's history.
Named to three All-American teams, highlighted by his first team selection by the American
Football Coaches Association, Cole capped off his career as one of three finalists for the presti­
gious Harlon Hill Award given to the top small-college player in the country.
The Rochester, New York, native finished his 39-game career with 3,341-yards rushing and a
PSAC-record 48 touchdowns. In all. Cole established eight state conference records including sin­
gle season marks of 1,507-yards rushing and 24 touchdowns. This past season, the 5-9, 180 lb. tail­
back gained over 100 yards on nine occasions including a 220-yard, six touchdown performance
against Slippery Rock. In the Scots' national playoff game against North Dakota State, Cole rushed
for 125 yards and three touchdowns.
As a finalist for the 'Hill Award, Cole earned a trip to Florence, Alabama, for the three-day
festivities that concluded with the award ceremonies the night before the Division II national
championship game.
Along with 'Hill winner Johnny Bailey (Texas A & I) and Barry Wagner (Alabama A & M),
Cole spoke to area elementary and junior high school students about the importance of education
and the hazards of drug use.

The state universities spent the first 100
years of existence training teachers for
Pennsylvania's schools. The Normal
School Act of 1857 established regional
teacher training institutions throughout the
Commonwealth. The School Code of 1911
called for the state purchase of all normal
schools, and by 1921 the present configuration of 14 state-owned universities was
established. The 14 normal schools
evolved from state normal schools, to state
teachers colleges, to state colleges. On
November 12, 1982, Act 188 was signed
into law establishing on July 1, 1983 the
Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education. Thus, the 13 former state colleges
joined with Indiana University of Pennsyl­
vania to achieve university status. The uni­
versities have a cumulative history of
1,600 years.
There are 14 universities in the State Sys­
tem of Higher Education with three branch
campuses and the McKeever Environmen­
tal Center.
The total student population among the
System universities is 96,000. While 88%

of students are from Pennsylvania, they
represent many other states and foreign
countries.
The total university campus has over
4.000 acres in 19 Pennsylvania counties.
Buildings for classrooms, residences,
administration and student support number
690.
Collectively the 14 universities offer 225
undergraduate and 98 graduate degree pro­
grams, led by 5,000 full-time faculty
members.
An average 75% of undergraduate stu­
dents receive some form of financial assis­
tance to help meet costs.
Several study abroad programs are avail­
able in System universities. System uni­
versities are part of the Pennsylvania
Council for International Education.
All the universities support life-long learn­
ing programs throughout the academic
year. Many feature Elderhostel.
Most universities have honors programs,
student counseling and career planning,
cooperative education, and internship pro­
grams.
System library holdings total more than
5.1 million volumes and 3.5 million peri­
odicals, microforms, and audio materials.
The universities in the State System of
Higher Education are fully accredited by
the Middle States Association of Colleges
and Secondary Schools, the National
Council for Accreditation of Teacher Edu­
cation, and several appropriate national
professional organizations.
Last year, the System awarded 15,128
degrees, over 40% in arts and sciences,
25% in education, 24% in business, and
8% in health-related fields.
System graduates living in the Common­
wealth number over 240,000.

Athletic Director Jim McDonald
has evolved into an annual year-ending event to
honor present and past athletes.
McDonald has been at Edinboro since
1962 and for 12 years served as the Fighting
Scot basketball coach (1962-1975) and never
experienced a losing season while his teams
compiled an impressive 181 wins against only
89 losses. During that span, his cagers won four
Western Division Pennsylvania Conference
crowns, the PC state championship and two
District 18 titles that netted trips to the NAIA
National Tournament. His teams set 27 Univer­
sity records and made 19 post-season appear­
ances while four of his players were named
All-Americans.
Prior to accepting his position at Edinboro,
McDonald served as assistant basketball coach
in Erie, Pa. He is a 1956 graduate of Bridgeport
High School in his home town of Bridgeport,
West Virginia.
In 1960 he received a degree in chemistry
and physical education from West Virginia
Wesleyan College and he also holds a master's
degree in health from the University of Buffalo.
As an undergraduate, he set nine school
records at Wesleyan and was twice voted both
AP and UPI basketball All-American. In 1960,
he was the second leading scorer in the United
States, averaging slightly over 33 points a
game, and led his team to the national basket­
ball tournament in Kansas City, Missouri. He
was named to the NAIA's All-Tournament
Team in 1959 and 1960.
In 1966, McDonald was selected Area
Eight Coach of the Year by the eastern
seaboard coaches and that same year was hon­
ored as one of the top ten finalists in the Coach
of the Year national poll. McDonald's honors
also include selection to the West Virginia AllTime College Basketball Team and member­
ship in the West Virginia Sports Hall of Fame.
As a resident of Edinboro, McDonald has
a record of extensive community involvement.
He was Little League Baseball director for four
years and also held a four-year post as a mem­
ber of the General McLane School Board. He
and his wife, Mary Lou, have three sons Mark, Mike and Matthew.

Jim McDonald
Edinboro University's athletic program
was placed under the talented and aggressive
leadership of Jim McDonald in July of 1981.
Increased emphasis on fund raising to provide a
sound scholarship foundation has become his
top priority while numerous changes and inno­
vations have also keyed the Scots' athletic pro­
gram under his direction.
Through his efforts more than $3.3 million
has been raised during the past nine years. The
funds generated by the energetic athletic direc­
tor's efforts will be used to assist Edinboro's
men and women athletes who compete in the
Scots fifteen intercollegiate sports.
In addition to maintaining Edinboro's
respected winning tradition in intercollegiate
athletics, the former health and physical educa­
tion professor has vastly expanded the Univer­
sity's summer activities.
Fifty-two camps were sponsored by the
Fighting Scots Booster Club this past summer
on the University's campus. Sox Harrison Sta­
dium is the site of the Cleveland Browns vs. the
Buffalo Bills annual rookie scrimmage, which
has been a yearly mid-summer highlight.

team and coaching staff," Hollman added.
Hollman's educational background begins
with a high school diploma from Memorial
High School in St. Mary's, Ohio, followed by
his undergraduate degree in education from
Ohio Northern University in 1968. Three years
later Hollman received his master of science
degree in education from Xavier University in
Cincinnati, Ohio.
While at Ohio Northern, Hollman was a
three-year starter for the football team and a
two-way performer as a defensive back and y
offensive end during his junior and senior
i
years. He holds the school record with 13
career interceptions and earned All-American
and All-District honors during the 1966 and
1967 seasons. Hollman also lettered in baseball
for three years during his stay at Ohio North­
ern.
A chronological look at Hollman's coachi
ing career begins in 1968 as an assistant coach
at Sidney High School in Sidney, Ohio. From j
there, Hollman moved on to Greenville High |
School in Ohio where he became head coach
i
from 1971-73. His Greenville squads posted an
impressive 26-2-2 mark during his three-year
stay.
Hollman then moved on to Fremont Ross
High School as head coach for the 1974 and
1975 seasons, where his squad recorded 15
wins against three setbacks and two ties. Fre­
mont was the Buckeye Conference champs in
'74, unbeaten at 9-0-1.
In '76, Hollman moved on to the collegiate
ranks where he was the defensive coordinator
for his alma mater at Ohio Northern University.
The following year, Hollman accepted the
head coach position at Wooster College (OH)
and guided his squad to the best four-year
record in the school's history (24-11-1).
In 1981, Hollman took an assistant coach­
ing spot with Ball State University which he
held through the '84 campaign. Then, beginning
in 1985 Hollman held the defensive coordinator *
position at Ohio University.
"It has been a very comfortable transition
for me," Hollman added. "I have found the
community to be supportive and the administra­
tion is giving me every opportunity to be sue- i
cessful here at Edinboro," he concluded.
i
Tom resides in Edinboro with his wife,
Kandi, and four children, Mari, Jon, Tim and
Denise.

Tom Hollman
In January 1988, Edinboro University
hired Tom Hollman, Athens, Ohio, as its
eleventh head football coach in the school's his­
tory. Hollman comes to Edinboro from Ohio
University, where he was the defensive coordi­
nator.
Hollman, beginning his third year, has
turned the Scot program around. With the Scots
he has earned 13 wins against just seven losses
and one tie and owns an impressive 10-1-1 slate
against the PSAC West.
Last season, he was named the top coach
in the East Region by the National Football
Coaches Association and also tabbed the top
coach in the PSAC West.
"Edinboro has been a great experience and
I like the direction of the program," Hollman
said.
"As a coach, I have been fortunate to
coach at many different levels, from high
school to Division I. The Division II level here
at Edinboro is very appealing to me in relation
to my career goals. It is a great feeling to be a
head coach at this level."
"I still feel one of the most important
things about football on the Division II level is
to make it fun for the players involved. My ini­
tial goal for this team when I got here was to
make football an enjoyable environment for the

Can the Scots Repeat? A Look at 1990
The thoughts of last year's Pennsylvania
State Athletic Conference Western Division
title and trip to the NCAA Division II playoffs
will be with Edinboro University for a long
time. But 1990 is a new season and the Scots
are not about to rest on past accomplishments.
"The league we play in doesn't allow you
think about the previous year," said Scot head
coach Tom Hollman. "Sure '89 was a good sea­
son. It assured our staff and players that we can
play very competitively at that (playoff) level.
We lost some quality individuals from last year
but we have a solid group of veterans coming
back that can lead us back into contention. But
no matter who we are playing, we need to be
focused every week."
Hollman, beginning his third year, has
earned thirteen wins and a tie in his initial 21
games directing the Scots and has an even more
impressive lO-t-l mark in west play. "I am
pleased with the progress but we cannot stop.
We got a taste of championship football last
year and can only hope that we benefitted from
that experience."
A look at the '90 schedule has the Scots
playing four of their first six games at home
and concluding the year with three of four on
the road.
EU opens early with a September 1 home
date with the Rams of Shepherd College (WV)
before a trip to Division I-AA Youngstown
State on the 7th.
After a week off, the Scots will trek across
Pennsylvania to battle PSAC east foe Bloomsburg on the 22nd. Week four will then have
Edinboro back at home against Clarion in their
western opener. The contest will be homecom­
ing '90 and begins a three-game home stand for
the Plaid.
Lock Haven and Shippensburg on the 6th
and 13th of October will be the Scots next
home opponents before taking to the road for
three of the next four weeks.
The Scots will travel to California on the
20th but are right back in Sox Harrison Stadium
the following Saturday to tangle with Slippery
Rock. The regular season will conclude with
away games at lUP and Fairmont State on the
3rd and 10th of November.
A breakdown of the Scots for the 1990
season:

The Scots will return a pair of All-Ameri­
cans in quarterback Hal Galupi and wide out
Ernest Priester. The twosome combined for a
PSAC record 16 touchdowns last season and
give the Scots an immediate scoring threat from
anywhere on the field.
Galupi ranked second in Division II last
fall in quarterback efficiency, completing 122
of 224 passes for 1,911 yards and 22 touch­
downs. His leadership abilities will key the
offense in 1990. In 33 games for the Scots,
Galupi has tossed for over 3,500 yards and 33
touchdowns. Priester is coming off a banner
season where he caught 49 passes for 1,128
yards (23.0 ypc) and the 16 scores. He has
caught 101 passes for over 1,900 yards and 20
TDs during his 31-game career.
Looking to offset the passing game will be
the rushing abilities of Chris Conway and
Lester Frye. Conway, a two-time PSAC sprint
champ, was second on the squad with 365
yards rushing (5 TD) last year and posted an
impressive 7.3 yard per carry average. Conway
proved his abilities with a 65-yard scoring jaunt
against lUP and an 85-yard kickoff return for a
touchdown at North Dakota State. Frye was
close behind with 255 (6.4 ypc) yards and four
scores. Frye will likely see time at both full­
back and tailback.
Fullbacks Steve Clare and Matt Koehle
return as do sophomore wideouts Wrentie Mar­
tin and Paul Stone.
Offensive Line
Plenty of question marks remain as the
staff must replace a pair of All-Americans in
Joe Brooks and Ron Hainsey. Seniors Brad
Powell and Wally Spisak return to anchor the
interior as does junior Curtis Rose. Junior Scott
Nickel and sophomore Mike Kegarise will look
to contribute. The staff is looking for quality
depth from a solid recruiting class.
Defensive Line
Seven linemen return with significant
playing time on the defensive front. Matt Miller
(68 tackles, 8 1/2 sacks) turned in an outstand­
ing '89 and will likely get recognized for it this
fall. Jeff Jacobs (40, 2 1/2) will anchor one end
spot while Kurt Schmidhamer hopes to return
from two injury plagued seasons. Delvin Pick­
ett (26, 3) also showed promise on the outside
last season and is back.

Offense: Skill Positions
12

Tackles John Messura (24 stops including
four for loss), Troy Marin, and Phil Whitfield
also give the Scots depth inside.
The Scots gave us just under 110 yards per
game rushing last year and hope to duplicate
the feat in '90.

Lewis, just a freshman last season, was in
on 45 tackles an picked off two enemy passes.
He was also credited with five deflections. He
was named the top freshman on the squad last
fall by his teammates and staff.
"The free safety spot returns sophomore
Mike Barnes. A converted fullback a year ago,
Barnes earned 29 tackles in just over half a sea­
son of play.

Linebackers
A big void left by the departure of AllConference linebackers Michael Wayne and
John Williams must be filled. The twosome
combined for 214 tackles and five interceptions
in '89.
Veteran A1 Donahue (84 tackles, 3 INT)
returns to add to his career tackle total of over
300 and has been solid for the past three years.
Donahue will be a key leader on the defense.
Between Anthony Ross (30 stops), Mike
Edwards (18, 2 INT), Matt Smith, and Jason
Perkins someone will need to step to the front
to solidify this line of defense.

Freshman Class
The Scots will welcome nearly 50 new
faces to camp this year for quality depth pur­
poses.
The class has a local flare led by quarter­
back Eric Kuhn and Dave Ashton from the Erie
area. Kuhn holds six all-time Metro League
records and tossed 31 career touchdowns. His
teammate, Ashton, graduated as the League's
all-time leader in receptions (107), yards
(1,531) and touchdowns (23).
Other quality additions appear to be run­
ning back Cory Hill, linebackers Jamael Brown
and Mike Gentile and linemen Tony Tighe, Ron
Miller and John Steffens.
Overall the Scots return 36 lettermen and a
dozen starters from their western division
championship squad of a year ago. If Coach
Hollman and his staff can fill a few spots,
watch for the Fighting Scots to once again con­
tend on the state and national level.

Secondary
All-American free safety Michael Willis
will be missed but cornerbacks Wade Smith and
Georj Lewis give the Plaid a good foundation
to build on. Smith is a returning All-PSAC per­
former and registered 53 stops and three inter­
ceptions in '89. He also led the team with 13
pass break ups.

Boro Llaims
PC West Title
By JIM BOOTH

Kurt Schmidhamer

Crown Edinboro’s Fighting Scots
champions.
The Scots roared to the Western
Division title of the Pennsylvania
State Athletic Conference Saturday
by crushing California University,
54-14.
Edinboro moved quickly, building
up a 20-0 lead by the end of the first
period. From there, the Scots cruised to victory, leaving the crowd of
5,000 fans at Sox Harrison Field delirious with joy
. From the outset, Edinboro’s of­
fense marched through California
like SheiTiian through Georgia. In
addition, the Scots’ big-play defense
forced four turnovers, including
three interceptions of passes throw
by talented Vulcan quarterback Sam
Mannery.
■ “We’re playing good football and
iwe’re playing with confidence,” said

J

before going 1-2-1 the final four
games.
Edinboro finished the regular
season with an 8-2 record. The
Scots lost their opener to Liber­
ty University and final contest
to Ifoungstown State. Both
schools are Division I-AA.
The Pennsylvania State Ath­
letic Conference Western Divi­
sion champs were ranked sev­
enth in the latest Division II
poll.

1989 Season in Review
Edinboro 27 - Liberty University 51
Edinboro got off to a rough start when
Ernie Antolik, Flame DB, picked off a Hal
Galupi pass on the fifth offensive play at Liber­
ty's 15-yard line. Liberty then marched 85
yards to paydirt with 9:12 remaining in the
quarter for their initial score.
After an exchange, LU's Eric Green

14-7, EU kicked off to Don Smith, who scam­
pered 94 yards for another six and Liberty

tage of Liberty miscues. Quickly, Galupi found

Edinboro 37 - Indiana University of Pa. 0
In a scoreless first half, it seemed as
though nothing could happen in the quagmire
that Hurricane Hugo had turned Sox Harrison
Stadium into. Both teams went into the locker
room at the half with defenses controlling the
tempo.
But in the second half, the hurricane took
control . . . and it wasn't Hugo. "Hurricane
Elbert," as he was dubbed by Indiana Gazette’s
Bob Fulton, broke out for three touchdowns.
Cole first scored on a seven-yard TD run with
9:01 left in the third capping a 38-yard drive
that began with an lUP muff on a punt attempt.
Two possessions later, 'Boro DT Matt
Miller recovered a fumbled snap at the lUP 40
and Cole capped off the short drive with anoth­
er seven-yard dash. After the two-point PAT
Edinboro led 15-0.
Following the kickoff, the Scots again
took advantage of great defense as Chip Conrad
sacked Tony Aliucci on a fourth and three play.
Then, on the series' fifth play Cole struck again,
this time from 37 yards and six more.
The Indiana offense continued to struggle
when Scot Wade Smith intercepted an Aliucci
pass and returned it to the lUP 22. Galupi then
capped the short drive, scoring from five yards
out.
The Scots then extended the margin when
Chris Conway scored on a dazzling 65-yard
run. Jim Ross converted an errant PAT snap and
the Scots earned an impressive 37-0 margin
over the Indians.
The Fighting Scot defense held the Indians
in check all day while the Scots compiled 392
total yards.

Edinboro 46 - University of New Haven 13
Following a Charger punt on their first
possession, the Elbert Cole show turned up
another notch.
After a three-yard run by Clare and a
Galupi completion. Cole raced 64 yards for the
score. Then on the next exchange, beginning at
their own 36, the Scots' scoring drive was
capped off by a 22-yard Galupi strike to
Priester and Edinboro was quickly out on top
12-0.
The second quarter offered offensive and
defensive stalemates as heavy rains fell. After
EU's John Williams picked off a Jay McLucas
pass and returned it 22 yards to the NH 37,

remaining, for a 19-0 advantage.

this one stopping a NH drive at the 'Boro 28.

55 yards on three plays for their first score.
Dana Burgo scored from the two but Matt
Miller blocked the PAT and the score read 19-6.

yards out and gave the 'Boro a 13-0 lead after
the first period.
Kutztown got on the board in the second
as Steve Kratz connected on a 28-yard field
goal to make it 13-3. But EU didn't let up, as
Cole scored two possessions later from the 17.
The rest of the first half saw the Scot
offense falter but KU mounted a ten-play drive
as Mark Steinmeyer scored from two yards out
at 0:07 to set the margin at 21 -11 at the half.
Kutztown was the first to score in the sec­
ond half as kicker Kratz was dead on from 45
yards out.
After a 23-yard KO return by Conway, the
'Boro's aerial combo of Galupi and Priester
connected on a 61-yard TD strike. KU would
not die, however, as Fred Seifert capped a 13play drive with a five-yard pass to Mike Rebar
to cut the lead to 28-21.
Cole then took over in the fourth, scoring
from six yards out to put the Scots up 35-21.

ing drive with a 12-yard connection to post the

downs and earned national player of the week

Head Coach Wally Hood

Rockets Outlook: The Rockets need to fill a sopt at QB to solidify a very strong offense . . . RB
Scott Olpasky (1,216, 15 TDs) is one of the PS AC's best and returns in '90 . . . All-American can­
didate Matt Humphreys returns at tackle while veteran guard Jeff Lang is along side . . . LBs Terry
Jordan (127 tackles, 1 INT, 2 recoveries) and Shawn Wiley (72 stops, 2 recov.) key the Rock
defense but the squad returns just three other starters ... the Rock plays an 11-game slate in '90
including contests at Portland State and Central Florida making up the toughest schedule in
school's history.

Falcons Outlook: Fairmont posted an uncharacteristic 4-6 mark in '89 . . . coach Wally Hood
plans to change to a 4-3 defense in '90 to secure the secondary play . . . Fairmont returns 35 lette­
men and 13 starters from last year's squad ... the Plaid is just 2-6-2 vs. the Falcons in school histo­
ry and last played in '86 with the Scots winning 57-33 ... QB Andy Rase (931 yds passing, 5 TDs)
will likely throw to WR Duke Durbin (32 recp, 427 yds). .. TB Rory Richardson (291 yds, 4 TDs)
and FB Tony Franklin (377, 5 scores) solidify the running attack . . . DTs Adam West (91 stops, 5
sacks, 2 rec) and Gregg Hrapchak (57 tackles) are tough up front while Terrence Boyd (53 stops, 1
INT) is the Falcon's top linebacker.
