Fighting Scots Entertain Rockets
The Game
The nationally-ranked Fighting Scots
host the Rockets of Slippery Rock today.
Pizza Hut is the game sponsor in Edinboro's final regular-season home contest
for 1992.
The Records
Edinboro is 7-0, while the Rockets
counter at 6-2. The Scots are unbeaten in
four tries in the PSAC Western Division,
while the Rockets are 2-1. Edinboro is 4-0
at home in '92, while the Rock is 2-1 on
the road. Under fifth-year coach Tom
Hollman, the Boro has won 23 of 26 home
games (23-2-1) with a tie against Slippery
Rock (14-14) at the conclusion of the 1988
season.
The Scots own wins over Buffalo (3513), Northwood (37-13), Southern Con­
necticut (41-0), Clarion (26-17), Lock
Haven (38-10), Shippensburg (47-3) and
California (33-13). The consecutive wins
beginning the year match a 7-0 start for
the 1982 team. The last time the Plaid
won eight straight to begin the year was
in 1971, the year Edinboro captured the
Lambert Bowl trophy.
Slippery Rock opened with wins
over West Virginia Wesleyan (45-7) and
Fairmont State (24-0) before bowing to
Ashland (31-37). The Rock then ran off
four straight wins against Northwood
(35-21), Shippensburg (20-3), California
(23-15) and Cheyney (43-27) before losing
to #2 lUP (17-34) last Saturday.
The Series
The Rock holds a 17-36-7 edge
despite Edinboro posting seven wins in
the last ten games (7-2-1). Last year. Slip­
pery Rock ruined any Edinboro post-season playoff hopes with a 7-0 decision in
Slippery Rock. The last two games at Sox
Harrison have been great battles with the
Scots prevailing 17-10 in 1990 and the tie
14-all in 1988.

won 22 of 28 (22-5-1) contests in the
PSAC West. The 1989 Kodak "Coach of
the Year" has led the Scots into the NCAA
II playoffs on two occasions. His nineyear head coaching record of 60-25-2
C698) includes directing Wooster College
(OH) from 1977-80.
The Rock counters with fifth-year
head coach George Mihalik. A former star
quarterback for Slippery Rock, Mihalik
has led the Rock to 10 wins in their last 15
PSAC West clashes and owns a 25-20-4
overall record.

Kevin Reardon (83-503-4-63).
The Defenses
Two nationally-ranked defenses will
take the field this Saturday. Edinboro con­
tinues to rely on the efforts of All-Ameri­
can linebacker Jason Perkins and a very
aggressive front four.
Perkins leads the Scots with 76 stops
including 51 solo tackles. He also has five
3

sacks, six other tackles for loss, and four
forced fumbles. Up front, the Scots have
been tough with ends Devas Simmons (36
tackles, 3 sacks) and Anthony Ross (49team high, 6 sacks) and tackles Rob
Harmer (28-5 for loss) and Russell Cray
(59-5 sacks-8 for loss-1 int & td return).
Joining Perkins at linebacker will be
Michael Sims (51-4 for loss-9 deflections)
and Michael Edwards (32). ,
The secondary ranks among the
nation's leaders with safeties Mike Barnes
(37) and Steve Russell (20) tied for the
team in interceptions with three. Comers
are steady with Mario Houston (24-3
punt blocks) and All-American Georj
Lewis (22-1 int). Lewis will start his 42nd
straight game.
The Rock is very aggressive in '92,
similar to the '91 squad. Leading the hit
parade are linebackers Sam James (86-39
solo-3 sacks-3 rec) and Kareem Coles (672 int) and a pair of All-Americans; tack­
les John Sikora and defensive back Tony
Robinson.
Sikora has been in on 72 stops,
including 9 for loss. Robinson owns 31
tackles, 3 interceptions, 7 pass deflections
and 2 fumble recoveries while FS Bob
Culp leads the team with five picks and
12 deflections.

PSAC in Gary Lhotsky (41.8ypp) while
the Rock counters with junior Kevin Mor­
gan (36.2). Lhotsky ranked 10th in Divi­
sion II a week ago.
The placekicking duties are shared
for both clubs as the Boro features Scott
Rupert (3-7fg,21-27 PAT) and Mike Joyce
(2-3fg,5-6 PAT) and the Rock Pete
Banaszak (5fg, 29-31 PAT) and Mickey
Flood (2fg).

Now in his thirteenth year as
president of Edinboro University of
Pennsylvania, Foster R Diebold is the
fourteenth chief executive officer of
the institution of higher learning that
has come to acclaim in the last
decade as one of Pennsylvania's and
the nation's finest. He has brought a
vigorous educational and moral lead­
ership, a strengthening of the spirit of
community, a clear sense of direction
and purpose, and a dimension of
multicultural pluralism and diversity.
Much has been accomplished
during President Diebold's tenure.
The University has returned to finan­
cial health. Significant facilities and
grounds improvements have been
achieved, with several of the historic
structures on campus restored to
their original splendor. Academic
programs have been emphasized and
improved, with more than 100 degree
offerings now available. Enrollment
gains have been unprecedented in
both numbers and academic quality.
International linkages have been
established with institutions in sever­
al other countries, and Edinboro Uni­
versity's disabled student services
program continues to gamer acclaim
as one of the finest among all colleges
and universities in the United States.
Widely recognized as a leader in edu­
cation both here and abroad. Presi­

Prior to his presidency of Edin­
boro University, President Diebold
was president of the University of
Alaska from 1977 to 1979. Before that,
he was executive secretary to the
Board of Regents and special assis­
tant to the president of the Universi^
of Alaska Statewide System. From
1969 to 1976, he was director of
Development and Planning at Kean
College in New Jersey and a member
of the graduate faculty at that institu­
tion; and from 1965 to 1969, he was
assistant superintendent of the Nep­
tune Township (New Jersey) Public
Schools.
Recognized for his extensive
experience in the field of education
management. President Diebold's
scholarly achievements in the disci­
pline of applied ethics in higher edu­
cation deserve special mention. The
model statement he authored for the
American Association of State Col­
leges and Universities, "Ethical Prac­
tices for College Presidents," was
unanimously adopted by that profes­
sional organization and published as
policy for the chief executives of its
nearly 400 member institutions
nationwide. It is the first formally
adopted ethical practices and policy
statement for higher education presi­
dents.
For his leadership on an interna­
tional scale and for his many contri7

buttons to the advancement of higher
education and enrichment of an
emj^gijig culture in Pakistan, Presidenf'#iieboid was decorated with
prestigious gold medals from three
Pakistani universities. The awards for
educational eminence were presented
during visits to the Edinboro campus
by official Pakistani delegations.
/

Most recently. President Diebold
was honored by the Government of
Pakistan with the presentation of the
degree of Doctor of Laws (honoris
causa) presented at the Government
House in the City of Karachi. The cer­
emony was attended by the presi­
dents of the various universities
holding linkage agreements together
with Edinboro University and many
high-ranking officials of the Govern­
ment of Pakistan.
A staunch advocate of a
statewide system of public universi­
ties in Pennsylvania, President
Diebold supported the enabling legis­
lation for the State System of Higher
Education (Act 188 of 1982) and saw
the State System come to existence in
1983 as a member of the transition
team. He currently serves on the Sys­
tem's Executive Council of Presidents
and on the boards of the Pennsylva­
nia Academy for the Profession of
Teaching, the Pennsylvania State Ath­
letic Conference, and the University
Center at Harrisburg.
Active in community affairs, he
serves on the Board of Directors of
the Erie Conference on Community
Development and the United Way of
Erie County, the Board of Corpora­
tors of both St. Vincent Health Center
and Hamot Medical Center, and on
the Executive Committee of the
French Creek Council, Boy Scouts of
America. He is also a member of the
Marine Bank Advisory Board, the
Advisory Board of the McMannis
Educational Trust Fund, and the
Pittsburgh Plate Glass Corporation
Scholarship Review Committee.

Athletic Director James K. 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 innovations have also keyed the Scots'
athletic program under his direction.
Through his efforts more than $4 million has been raised during the
past eleven years. The funds generated by the energetic athletic director's
efforts will be used to assist Edinboro's men and women athletes who compete
in the Scots sixteen intercollegiate sports.

Sixty camps were sponsored by the Fighting Scots Booster Club this
past summer on the University's campus. Sox Harrison Stadium was the site for
the Buffalo Bills-Pittsburgh Steelers first scrimmage, an event the veteran ath­
letic director hopes to bring back to the area each year.

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 Confer­
ence crowns, the PC state championship and two District 18 titles that netted
trips to the NAIA National Tournament. His teams set 27 University records
and made 19 post-season appearances while four of his players were named

In addition to maintaining Edinboro's respected winning tradition in
intercollegiate athletics, the former health and physical education professor has
vastly expanded the University's summer activities.

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 sec­
ond leading scorer in the United States, averaging slightly over 33 points a
game, and led his team to the national basketball tournament in Kansas City,
Missouri. He was named to the NAIA's All-Toumament 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 honored 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 All-Time 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 commu­
nity involvement. He was Little League Baseball director for four years and also
held a four-year post as a member of the General McLane School Board. He and
his wife, Mary Lou, have three sons - Mark, Mike and Matthew.

The funds generated by
the energetic athletic
director's efforts will be

men and women athletes.

It's hard to say that a 7-4 season was
disappointing. But when expectations
were to advance to the NCAA II playoffs
for the third consecutive year, the 1991
won-lost mark was not what the Scots
had envisioned.
Anticipating that the 1992 pre-season
polls will have Edinboro back in the
national picture. Football Gazette will rank
the Scots number eight. It appears the
pressure will be on once again. Expecta­
tions yes, but the Fighting Scots' recent
success has created them.
The Hollman Era of 1988-92 has
Edinboro posting a 29-14-1 slate, includ­
ing 18 of 24 wins in the rugged Pennsyl­
vania State Athletic Conference Western
Division. Two trips to the national play­
offs, co-championship of the PSAC, forty
school records, two Division II Player of
the Year finalists and 17 All-Americans
are among the accomplishments. All in
the last four years.
Tom Hollman begins his fifth season
with the Scots and boasts a 53-25-2 record
in eight years on the Division II level. His
winning percentage of .663 is among the
nation's best in small-college football.
Edinboro returns 33 lettermen and 17
starters (including specialties) in 1992 and
should once again battle for the PSAC
West title. Home encounters include the
University of Buffalo and Northwood
(MI), as well as PSAC western division
rivals Clarion (Homecoming), Slippery
Rock and Shippensburg.
The Scots travel to Southern Con­
necticut, Lock Haven, California, lUP and
Millersville with hopes of extending their
season beyond November 14.
In 1991, Edinboro played five of their
first seven games on the road, and ulti­
mately it cost them a trip to the national
playoffs. This season shows more of a
balance, with the Plaid hosting three of
the first four games at Sox Harrison Sta­
dium. With a 19-2-1 home record under
Hollman, look for the Scots to come out
of the blocks quickly in '92.

Paul Stone (9-117) and tight end Brian
Heebsh (13-162-2 TDs). Martin and Heebsh were PSAC West second team selec­
tions in '91 and all three bring a wealth of
game experience to the offense.
The running back position is solid
with Derrick Russell (68-403-3 TDs),
Larry Jackson (29-188-2 TDs), Corey Hill
and Vidal Farr. Someone will have to
carry the bulk with the departure of AllAmerican Lester Frye. Three-year starter
Tom Tedder (41-173-1 TD) returns at full­
back and could be the PSAC West's best
at this spot. Tedder will get plenty of
backup support from sophomore Chris
Snyder.

Offensive Line
With the graduation of All-American
Curtis Rose and All-PSAC pick Wally
Spisak, the Scots must fill two rather large
pairs of shoes. PSAC West second team
choice Mike Kegarise has pro potential
with his 6-7, 300 pound frame. Starters
Scott Nickel, Tony Tighe and Gordy
Hitchcock also return, as will Chad Wallick, Det Betti and Dave Nowacki. Quality
depth is key, so Hollman will most likely
call on a pair of top recruits to help
anchor the offensive front.

Defensive Line
Gone is All-American tackle John
Messura, so the interior will highlight
some new faces. Experience does return
in Otha Davidson (22 tackles) and Russell
Cray (42) while LB Devas Simmons (36) is
likely to convert to a down lineman spot.
End Anthony Mariani (48 tackles, 8 for
loss) also returns and had a solid '91 in
his initial year. Messura's spot must be
filled if the Scots are to improve on their
150-yard per game rushing yield of last
year.

Linebackers
All-American and All-PSAC West
choice Jason Perkins (135 tackles) returns
to solidify a very good corps of lineback­
ers. Perkins was sensational in'91, picking
off two passes, recording nine tackles for
11

losses and adding four sacks to his team
high tackle mark. Perkins has been cho­
sen as a 1992 pre-season first team AllAmerican by the Sporting News.
Returning sophomore Steve Russell will
give help after recording 41 tackles in '91
and tying Perkins for the team lead in
interceptions with two.
Veteran Steve Nagy and newcomer
Mike Edwards both looked good in
spring workouts and will make heavy
contributions. Simmons can play both the
down position and linebacker and should
be an impact player in 1992.

Secondary
With the return of All-American
Georj Lewis and PSAC West second team
pick Mike Barnes, the Scots' defensive
backfield returns plenty of experience.
1990 PSAC West Rookie of the Year Mario
Houston will be at the other corner spot.
Houston was in on 75 stops last year and
led the team with 12 pass deflections.
Lewis was a third team choice by
Football Gazette last year and has started
34 consecutive games at the corner. His 50
tackles also earned him a first-team spot
on the PSAC West All-Star squad. Barnes,
a free safety/linebacker with outstanding
speed and toughness, was third on the
squad in '91 with 83 tackles. Only
linebackers Perkins and Joel Marratta (88)
were in on more tackles than Barnes.
Backup quarterback Sean Seibert has
the inside track at the vacant free safety
spot, vacated by four-year starter Wade
Smith. Mike White and a host of top cal­
iber freshmen give Edinboro a great sec­
ondary in 1992.

Specialties
A pair of starters return in punter
Gary Lhotsky and place-kicker Scott
Rupert. Lhotsky earned second team
PSAC West honors a year ago with his
38.1 yards per punt. His average was sec­
ond best in the division and fifth overall
in the state. Lhotsky has averaged just
under 37 ypp over his two-year career.
Rupert, just a sophomore, had a solid
freshman year in '91, finishing second on
the team with 36 points. He was true on
5-of-7 field goal tries and converted 21
extra point attempts. A great all-around
athlete, Rupert led the Scot baseball team
last spring with a .398 batting average.

Head Coach Tom Hollman
VCR & VIDEO
RENTALS

In January 1988, Edinboro University hired Tom Hollman, Athens, Ohio, as
its eleventh head football coach in the school's history. Hollman came to Edin­
boro from Ohio University, where he was the defensive coordinator.
Hollman, beginning his fifth year, has the Scot program back in the national
spotlight. At Edinboro, he has earned 29 wins against just 14 losses and one tie
and owns an impressive 18-5-1 slate against the PSAC Western Division.
In 1989, 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.
In 1990, he guided the Scots to their first-ever NCAA II playoff win as Edinboro
routed Virginia Union and advanced to the national quarterfinals.

"Edinboro has been a great experience, and I like the direction of the pro­
gram," Hollman said.

Tom Hollman

"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^ appeal­
ing to me in relation to my career goals. It is a great feeling to be a head coach at
this level."
I
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 location from Xavier Uni­

While at Ohio Northern, Hollman was a three-year starter for the football
team and a two-way performer as a defensive back and offensive end during
his junior and senior years. He holds the school record with 13 career intercep­
tions 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 Northern.

"Edinboro has been a
great experience, and I
like the direction of the
program."

A chronological look at Hollman's coaching career begins in 1968 as an
assistant coach at Sidney High School in Sidney, Ohio. From there, Hollman
moved on to Greenville High School in Ohio where he became head coach 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 ScAool as head coach for the
1974 and 1975 seasons, where his squad recorded 15 wins against three setbacks
and two ties. Fremont was the Buckeye Conference champ in '74, unbeaten at 90-1.

In '76, Hollman moved on to the collegiate ranks where he was the defen­
sive 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 coaching 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 administration is giving me
every opportunity to be successful here at Edinboro," he concluded.

"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 initial goal for this
team when I got here (Edinboro), and it still
remains today, was to make football "an enjoyable

For the past fotir years, a group of
nine Edinboro University football
players have been masquerading as
members of one of the finest teams in
NCAA Division II. It is appropriate,
then, that today, on Halloween, Boro's
seniors look to pull one more treat out
of their bag of tricks.
Since the 1988 season, this year's
senior class has helped the Fighting
Scots amass a 36-14-1 record (a win­
ning percentage of .716). And a win
today will move the Boro to 8-0, its
best start since 1971.
"Without question," admits Edin­
boro head coach Tom HoUman, "a big
reason for our success this season, and
really since I've been here, has been
the leadership provided by our
seniors. And this year's group could
be the most outstanding, both in terms
of leadership ability and maturity."
Meet Mike Barnes, Brian Heebsh,
Georj Lewis, Wrentie Martin, Steve
Nagy, Scott Nickel, Anthony Ross,
Sean Seibert and Paul Stone. Each has,
in his own way, contributed mightily
to the successes of the Edinboro pro­
gram during their careers.
Barnes, a 5-foot 10-inch, 205pounder from Euclid (OH) High
School, wiU make his 42nd consecu­
tive start today for the Scots, the last
37 at safety. He's tied for the team lead
in interceptions in 1992 with three,
and has also contributed 37 tackles (19
solos), five pass deflections and a fum­
ble recovery. For his career, the Cleve­
land native has well over 200 stops
and was a PSAC-West second team
selection in 1991. The son of Joseph
and Grace Barnes of Cleveland, Mike
will graduate with a degree in politi­
cal science.
Heebsh, 6-2, 230, was also named
PSAC-West second team last year. An
outstanding blocker and pass receiver,
Heebsh is third on the team m recep­
tions with eight, and has averaged a
healthy 19.3 yards per catch this sea­
son, including a 49-yard touchdown
grab in the Boro's win over Lock
Haven. The Tiffin Columbian (OH)
High School product has averaged
16.3 yards per catch (on 34 receptions)
from his tight end position throughout
his Edinboro career. Off the field.

Heebsh maintains above 3.0 grade
point average. A secondary education
and comprehensive science major,
Brian is the son of Richard and Nancy
Heebsh of Tiffin.
Lewis, a 5-9, 175-lb. product of
Connellsville High School, has started
every game at cornerback since his
freshman year, a string of 41 consecu­
tive. He was named third team AllAmerican by the Football Gazette and
PSAC first team in 1991. Also a
tremendous student, his 3.0+ grade
point average has earned him recogni­
tion from the University as a Fighting
Scot Scholar Athlete the last three
years. Statistically, Lewis has recorded
22 stops and an interception in 1992,
running his career numbers to 185
tackles and a half-dozen picks. An
accounting major, Georj is the son of
Robert Lewis of ConneUsville.
Martin, 6-1,180, has led the Boro
in receptions each of the past two sea­
sons, including 32 grabs this year. He
needs 18 more catches to set a new
school record for receptions in a sea­
son, and is just 25 shy of the aU-time
receiving mark. The Massillon, Ohio,
native and Washington High School
graduate was a PSAC-West second
team selection last year at wide receiv­
er. His 81.7 receiving yards per game
this season ranks Martin among the
top 20 in NCAA Division II. The son
of Rosalyne Martin of Massillon,
Wrentie is majoring in business
administration.
Nagy, 6-1, 215, has seen action in
every Fighting Scot game since his
sophomore season as the team's long
snapper and as a reserve outside
linebacker. A tremendous special
teams player with a great work ethic,
Nagy has made sohd contributions to
the Scot program throughout his
career. A graduate of St. Vincent-St.
Mary High School in Stow, Ohio,
Steve is the son of Steve and Patricia
Nagy of Stow. He wUl graduate with a
degree in business.
Nickel, from Conneaut (Ohio)
High School, is in his third season as a
starter on the offensive line. The 6-4,
278-pounder is very versatile, as Nick­
el can play all five positions across the
offensive line. Known as an excellent
33

pass blocker, he has also contributed
to a Scot ground attack that is averag­
ing better than 260 yards per game,
tops in the PSAC. The son of Kevin
and Sandy Rodgers of Conneaut, Scott
is a biology major.
Ross, a 6-2, 235-lb. defensive end,
is a converted linebacker who leads
the Scots in sacks (6) and ranks fourth
on the team in tackles (49, 23 solos). A
native of Cleveland, Ohio, and gradu­
ate of Shaw High School, Ross has
consistently provided the big play. In
addition to his sacks, he has also
added six tackles for loss, three
deflected passes and a fumble recov­
ery in 1992. He is coming off a 12-tack­
le performance in the Boro's 33-13 win
over California. A criminal justice
major, Ross is the son of Julia
Woodruff of Cleveland.
Seibert, who
hails from
PainesviUe, Ohio, provides solid expe­
rience at the quarterback position as a
backup to starter Jody Dickerson, and
led the Scots to the only playoff win in
school history (a 38-14 victory over
Virginia Union in the opening round
of the 1990 NCAA Division II play­
offs). He has completed 8 of 20 passes
this season for 77 yards and a touch­
down for a quarterback efficiency rat­
ing of 93.3. He has been recognized
each of the past three years for his out­
standing scholastic accomplishments
by the University. Sean will earn a
political science degree this December
in just seven semesters. He is the son
of Mr. and Mrs. Da'vid Seibert of
PainesviUe.
Stone, 6-0,178, is in his third year
as a starter at wide out and ranks
fourth on the squad in receptions.
Over the course of his career. Stone
has hauled in 48 passes for 441 yards
and three touchdowns. His sure hands
have also made him the holder for
kick placements and he also returns
kickoffs and punts. A native of Nor­
ton, Ohio, and a graduate of Norton
High School, Paul will earn a degree
in secondary education. He is the son
of Peter and Pauline Stone of Norton.

Fighting Scot Scholar-Athletes

Seibert will earn a political science
degree this December in just seven
semesters of attending Edinboro Univer­
sity. His 3.0+ cumulative grade point
average and contributions to the Scot
football program make Sean a true schol­
ar-athlete. He has been recognized the
past three years for his outstanding
accomplishments by the University.

Lewis, who last year earned AllAmerican honors at defensive back, has
found the academic and athletic balance
to complete his business administration
degree in four years. His 3.0+ cumulative
grade point is outstanding, considering
he has started every game since his fresh­
man year, a string of 34 consecutive,
entering the 1992 season.
