Edinboro Entertains California
California opens with a potent 11 of their own, led by wide
out Ken Cahoon, who leads the PSAC in yards per game receiv­
ing at 101.9. He owns 40 catches for 713 yards and three touch­
downs in the Vuls' nm-and-shoot attack. Quarterback duties are
split between Dan Pifer (99-188-1,214, 8 TDs, 9 INTs) and Todd
Hirt (31-69-507, 3, 3). Other pass catchers include end Fred
Temoney (19, 393,1) and fullback Scott Hoover (25,186, 2). Back
Eric Carter (98, 491, 5 TDs) and Hoover (45, 167, 1) solidify die
groimd attack.

The Game
The nationally-ranked Fighting Scots battle the Vulcans of
California University. Edinboro looks for its sixth consecutive
win in a contest sponsored by Walker Brothers Buick/Chevrolet.

The Records
Edinboro has reeled off five straight wins since its opening
loss to Ferris State (23-9) and stands at 5-1, 3-0 in the Pennsylva­
nia State Athletic Conference Western Division. California is 2-5,
0-2.
The Scots own wins over Elizabeth City (34-27), Buffalo (2810), Clarion (28-0), Lock Haven (52-20) and Shippensburg (34-17)
and are tied atop the western division with lUP and Slippery
Rock.
Cal started the year 2-1, with a 31-23 setback against West
Virginia Wesleyan sandwiched between victories over West Lib­
erty (43-32) and Fairmont State (31-16). The Vuls come in with
consecutive losses to Kutztown (31-28), East Stroudsburg (9-6),
Slippery Rock (40-30) and lUP (52-13).

The Defenses
The Scots lead the PSAC with 15 interceptions, paced by AllAmerican linebacker Jason Perkins' three picks. The Boro defen­
sive captain owns 406 career stops, just the fourth Scot ever to
achieve the 400 plateau. Perkins leads the squad with 65 tackles,
including a team-high nine for loss. He also owns a fumble
recovery and a blocked extra point. Joining Perkins at linebacker
will be Michael Edwards, second on the squad with 62 stops.
Brian Lambert (31) and Rahshahn Alston (34) split duties at the
weak side linebacker position.
Up front, last week's PSAC honor roll choice Pat Schuster
leads the charge. The Boro's heavyweight wrestler-tumed-defensive end leads the Scots with eight sacks and has been in on 43
tackles. End Devas Simmons (28) and tackles Rob Harmer (27> 5
sacks) and Russell Cray (40) roimd out a solid front four.
The secondary is anchored by veterans Steve Russell and
Mario Houston and newcomers Marty Williams and Rick Walk­
er. Russell is tied with Perkins with three picks and owns H
career interceptions, just two off the school record. Russell has
been in on 26 tackles while Houston's 46 jolts is third on the
team. Houston also owns a score, one interception and two fum­
ble recoveries. Williams has registered 34 stops and two intercep­
tions while Walker has added 19 tackles and one pick from his
free safety spot.
Cal looks to pre-season All-American linebacker John
McGowan (69 stops) to anchor the defense. End Brian Ward (50)
leads the team with seven sacks while veteran Wayne Hixenbaugh (23,3.5 sacks) will give the Scots a test up front. Defensive
back Tracy Latham (66, 3 INTs) is one of the best in the PSAC at
his position.

The Series
Edinboro is on the short end with Cal holding a 32-25-2
edge. The Scots have won five straight over the Vuls and seven
of the last ten games. Cal's last win came at Sox Harrison Stadi­
um, 28-17, in 1987. In 1992, the Boro gained a 33-13 edge in Cal.

The Coaches
Edinboro's Tom Hollman is in his sixth season and owns a
school-record winning percentage of .705 (42-17-2). His western
division mark is a sparkling 25-6-1 (.797). He was named the
PSAC and East Region Coach of the Year in 1989.
California counters with first-year coach Kevin Donley (2-5).
Donley's 16-year collegiate coaching mark of 105-56-1 includes 11
banner seasons at Georgetown College (Kentucky). He enters the
season as Division IPs 13th wirmingest coach.

The Scots have turned their attention back to 1992 PSAC
West Player of the Year Larry Jackson. The jxmior tailback has
carried the ball 51 times for 366 yards in the last two games. For
the year, Jackson stands sixth best in the PSAC, averaging 100.4
yards per game and totals 502 yards on 83 carries. His 6.1 yards
per attempt is best among the 14 conference schools. He has
rushed for four scores. Fullback Tom Tedder (25, 87,4 TDs) clears
the way and owns four touchdowns. Chris Snyder (12, 37,1 TD)
spells Tedder.
Quarterback Jody Dickerson will get his 29th consecutive
start today. Starting since he was a freshman, Dickerson boasts
an impressive 20-7-1 slate as the Boro's general. The PSAC's
third-rated passer, he has connected on 66 of 130 passes for 1,092
yards, ten scores and six interceptions. A host of quality receivers
include Marcus Griffin (18, 259, 2 TDs), Scott Mikowicz (16, 274,
1), David Ashton (13, 193, 1) and Lateef Walters (6, 154, 1, 25.7
YPC). Eight Scot receivers own touchdowns in 1993. Clearing the
way continue to be All-American tackle Mike Kegarise and mate
Tony Tighe, guards Jeremy O'Day and Det Betti and center
Gordie Hitchcock.

Special Teams/Kicking Game
The Boro looks to PSAC leader Gary Lhotsky (40 YPP) to
handle the punting chores while Scott Rupert (24-25 PATs; 3-7
FGs) is the place-kicker. Damien Kozel (33.9 YPP, 15-17 PATs, 3-7
FGs) owns both jobs for the Vuls.
The Scots feature punt returner Marcus Griffin (6.8 YPR) and
Steve Russell (21.7 YPR) handles kickoff returns while Cal coun­
ters with Ken Cahoon (8.0, 19.8) to bring back both punts and
kickoffs.
Standing with a +6 (22 takeaways, 16 turnovers), the Scots
rank fifth best among the fourteen conference schools, while Cal­
ifornia is at -2 (seventh in the PSAC).

Next Week
Edinboro travels for its final regular season road contest at
Slippery Rock while California returns home to battle Clarion.

Now in his fourteenth 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 program for students with
disabilities continues to garner
acclaim as one of the finest among all
colleges and universities in the Unit­
ed States. Widely recognized as a
leader in education both here and
abroad. President Diebold has posi­

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 University
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 contri­
butions to the advancement of higher
education and enrichment of an
7

emerging culture in Pakistan, Presi­
dent Diebold was decorated with
prestigious gold medals from three
Pakistani imiversities. The awards for
educational eminence were presented
during visits to the Edinboro campus
by official Pakistani delegations.
President Diebold was also hon­
ored by the Government of Pakistan
with the awarding of the degree of
Doctor of Laws (honoris causa), pre­
sented at the Government House in
the City of Karachi. The ceremony
was attended by the presidents of the
several Pakistani universities holding
linkage agreements with Edinboro
University, as well as many highranking officials of the Government
of Pakistan and U.S. diplomatic offi­
cials.
A recently bestowed honor was
President Diebold's appointment to
the National Committee on U.S.China Relations, the leading national,
non-partisan, public affairs organiza­
tion devoted to building constructive
and durable relationships between
the two countries. The appointment
recognized his insight into the Chi­
nese people and his experience with
the academic linkage agreement he
established with Zibo College in Chi­
na's Shandong Province. Students
and scholars have been at Edinboro
University under terms of the formal
linkage agreement since the 1986-87
academic year.
A staunch advocate of a
statewide system of public universi­
ties ill, 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 Dixon Uni­
versity Center at Harrisburg.

Athletic Director James K. McDonald
Edinboro University's athletic
program was placed under the talent­
ed 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 numer­
ous changes and innovations have
also keyed the Scots' athletic program
imder his direction.

Thank you,
Edinboro University
Walker Bros. Buick-'Chevrolet has been in the automobile business in Edinboro since
1916 making us one of the oldest dealers in the country. However, we are mere youngsters
compared to Edinboro University. Thru the decades our families have watched the school
grow and mature into today's University. Not by accident, we have seen the town of Edin^
boro grow and mature at the same time, with much of that growth being former Edinboro
students who stayed and made homes here after graduating. For this we say, "thank you,
Edinboro University."
Edinboro University offers much more to the region than a fine education at a rea^
sonable price. Almost daily there is either a cultural or athletic event right here in our own
backyard providing great entertainment. Besides the entertainment, many of use the
physical facilities of the University. For this we say, "thank you, Edinboro University."
Finally, for those of us in business in the Edinboro area, the University provides a
great economic benefit. Local patronage from University employees, students and all the
spinoff employment created by the University is what makes us able to be a major sponsor of
Edinboro athletics and today's game. For all this we say, "thank you, Edinboro University."

Through his efforts more than $5
million has been raised during the
past twelve years. The funds generat­
ed by the energetic athletic director's
efforts will be used to assist Edinboro's men and women athletes who
compete in the Scots sixteen intercol­
legiate sports.
In addition to maintaining Edinboro's respected winning tradition in
intercollegiate athletics, the former
health and physical education profes­
sor has vastly expanded the Universi­
ty's summer activities.
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 athletic director
hopes to bring back to the area each
year.
The personable athletic director
also introduced Edinboro's Hall of
Fame program which has evolved
into an annual year-ending event to
honor present and past athletes.

trict 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
All-Americans.
Prior to accepting his position at
Edinboro, McDonald served as assis­
tant basketball coach in Erie, Pa. He
is a 1956 graduate of Bridgeport High
School in his home town of Bridge­
port, 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 basket­
ball All-American. In 1960, he was
the second leading scorer in the Unit­
ed 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 hon­
ors also include selection to the West
Virginia All-Time College Basketball
Team and membership in the West
Virginia Sports Hall of Fame.

"It" in this case means success. Hav­
ing made the NCAA II playoffs three of
the past five years imder head coach Tom
Hollman, the Edinboro University Fight­
ing Scots have established themselves as
one of the nation's top small college pro­
grams. Now may be the time to take the
"other step."
A playoff quarter finalist in 1990, the
Scots' elite eight finish was the pinnacle
of the program. But that small taste of
post-season success has left the Boro anx­
ious for more. If expectations and 1993
pre-season polls are any indication, this
fall may be the year of the Scots. Picked
as high as #2 by Football Digest and #9 by
Host Communications (NCAA), Edin­
boro has opened the eyes of pollsters
with their recent success. But the Boro's
pre-season marks will make the opposi­
tion even more determined, thus creating
a great challenge for the 1993 Fighting
Scots.
Coming off their best regular season
mark in 21 years, 8-1-1, the Scots, imder
Hollman, have won 37 of 55 (37-16-2)
games including a sparkling 22-6-1 record
in the Pennsylvania State Athletic Confer­
ence Western Division. When looking
ahead to 1993, the schedule is what con­
cerns the sixth-year mentor the most.
"The conference is the conference. There
are six tough opponents, any one of
which can beat you," Hollman said. "Plus
this year, we've added Ferris State (MI)
and Elizabeth City (NC) while Buffalo
(Division I-AA) and Millersville remain
from last year. There will be no easy ones,
that's for sure."
With ten games slated for '93, five
home and five away, the challenge of the
"road test" will determine the Scots' play­
off chances. Under Hollman, the Scots
boast a 23-3-1 (.870) mark at Sox Harrison
Stadium but counter with a 14-13-1 (.518)
record on the road.

159 markers and two touchdowns. His
3,217 career passing yards rank him fifth
all time on the Edinboro passing list. With
the graduation of receivers Brian Heebsh,
Paul Stone and Wrentie Martin, David
Ashton (17 receptions, 210 yards, 2 touch­
downs) is the Scots' top returning pass
catcher.
In the backfield, PSAC West player of
the year and All-American Larry Jackson
returns. The junior topped the PSAC in
rushing yards last year with 1,218 while
his 17 rushing scores and 19 overall
touchdowns were also tops in the confer­
ence. Jackson's touchdowns on the
ground were the fourth best ever in con­
ference history. Chris Snyder (30-128-2) is
the returning front-runner for the fullback
spot along with Tom Tedder (17-68) who
is looking to return following knee
surgery.
Offensive Line
All-American Mike Kegarise is one
of the best in the country at his tackle
position. At 6-7, 300 pounds, Kegarise
leads an offensive front which includes
tackle Tony Tighe, center Gordie Hitch­
cock and guard Chadd Wallick. The grad­
uation of All-American Scott Nickel and
tight end Heebsh leaves some holes to fill.
Defensive Line

A BREAKDOWN
OF PERSONNEL:

The Scots return three quarters of
their four-man front including 1993 pre­
season All-American tackle Russell Cray
(72 tackles, 9 sacks). End Devas Simmons
(62 stops, 8 for loss, team high 5 forced
fumbles) is also back along with tackle
Rob Harmer (48 tackles).
Also expected to help along the
defensive line will be returnee Otha
Davidson (2 sacks, 4 tackles for loss) and
Scot heavyweight wrestler Pat Schuster.
The graduation of All-American Anthony
Ross spells a void for the Scots but David­
son and Schuster are both able replace­
ments.

Skill Positions

Linebackers

With returning starter Jody Dickerson at quarterback, the Scots will be solid
under center. Having guided Edinboro to
15 wins in 22 games (15-6-1) since his
freshman year, Dickerson is on pace to
break every standard in the Edinboro
record books. Last year, he tossed for
1,855 yards and 12 scores and rushed for

The trio of All-American Jason
Perkins, Michael Sims and Mike Edwards
return to the second line of defense.
Perkins, a pre-season first-team choice by
Host Communications and The Sporting
News, is back to round out a brilliant
career. Currently seventh on the school's
11

10

all-time hit list with 341 tackles, a year
similar to 1992 (135 tackles, 19 for loss)
will propel Perkins to second on the
career tackle charts. His 30 tackles for
loss, not including quarterback sacks, is
the most in Edinboro history.
Sims had a banner season for a first
year player in 1992, finishing fourth on
the team with 84 tackles. His ten pass
deflections tied for the team high.
Edwards was close behind with 70 stops,
including four for loss. His three forced
fumbles was third best on the squad.
Brian Lambert, a reserve last season (12
tackles) is greatly improved and will bat­
tle for a starting spot.
Secondary
If the Boro has major holes to fill, it is
in the defensive backfield. Gone are AllAmericans Michael Barnes and Georj
Lewis. The pair combined to start 85 con­
secutive contests with cornerback Lewis
penciled in for every one during his 45game career.
Returning are defensive back Mario
Houston and safety Steve Russell. Hous­
ton had 50 stops, one interception and
tied for the team lead with ten pass
deflections in '92. Over his career, which
began with All-PSAC West Rookie of the
Year honors in 1990, Houston has been in
on 188 stops, with seven interceptions
and 38 deflections. His pass breakup total
is second best on the all-time Boro list.
Russell has been solid since his freshman
campaign, tying for the team lead in
interceptions each of his first two seasons.
His seven career thefts project him to be
Edinboro's all-time leader (13) at career's
end. One of his five interceptions last sea­
son was returned 85 yards for a score.
Specialties
The return of All-American punter
Gary Lhotsky adds to an already solid
defense. A first-team All-PSAC West
choice in 1992, Lhotsky led the conference
in yards per punt averaging 40.1. His 133
punts over the past three years have aver­
aged 37.7 ypp. Lhotsky's career best cov­
ered 65 yards against Shippensburg last
season.
The Scot kicking game is a question
mark as Scott Rupert (3-7 field goals and
21 of 27 PATs) tries to recover from a knee
injury suffered as a member of the base­
ball team last spring.

Go Team! Best of luck for
a great season!

In January 1988, Edinboro Uni­
versity hired Tom Hollman, Athens,
Ohio, as its eleventh head football
coach in the school's history. Hollman
came to Edinboro from Ohio Univer­
sity, where he was the defensive coor­
dinator.

with 13 career interceptions and
earned All-American and AU-District
honors during the 1966 and 1967 sea­
sons. Hollman also lettered in base­
ball for three years during his stay at
Ohio Northern.

Hollman, beginning his sixth
year, has the Scot program back in
the national spotlight. At Edinboro,
he has earned 37 wins against just 16
losses and two ties and owns an
impressive 22-6-2 slate against the
PSAC Western Division. The Scots
have advanced to post-season play
three of the past five years.

A chronological look at Holl­
man'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 impres­
sive 26-2-2 mark during hTs threeyear stay.
;•

In 1989, he was named the top
coach in the East Region by the
National Football Coaches Associa­
tion 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 Vir­
ginia Union and advanced to the
national quarterfinals.
"Edinboro has been a great expe­
rience, and I like the direction of the
program," Hollman said.
"As a coach, I have been fortu­
nate 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."
Hollman's educational back­
ground 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, Holl­
man was a three-year starter for the
football team and a two-year per­
former as a defensive back and offen­
sive end during his junior and senior
years. He holds the school record

Hollman then move/i on to Fre­
mont Ross High School 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 1974, unbeaten at 9-0-1.
In 1976, 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^Jaistory (24-11-1).
In 1981, Hollman took an assis­
tant coaching spot with Ball State
University which he held through the
1984 campaign. Then, beginning in
1985 Hollman held the defensive
coordinator position at Ohio Univer­
sity.
"It has been a very comfortable
transition for me," Hollman added. "I
have found the community to be sup­
portive and the administration is giv­
ing me every opportunity to be
successful here at Edinboro," he con­
cluded.
Tom resides in Edinboro with his
wife, Kandi, and four children, Mari,
Jon, Hm and Denise.

Browning's Four Answer All the Questions

Bill Sparenberg, Sr., 6-3, 255, OL, Talbotville, ONT, Arthur Voader ...
started half the games on offensive front last year . . . has been a spot
starter in each of the past two seasons ... can play both guard positions
... once again will challenge for starting position at guard ... good feet
and quickness ... excellent pull blocker.

When the Fighting Scot football team entered the 1993 sea­
son, Edinboro secondary coach Scott Browning knew that there
were going to be some questions as to the strength of his defen­
sive backs. Gone to graduation were cornerback Georj Lewis and
free safety Mike Barnes, a pair of All-Americans who had com­
bined for 85 starts, 15 interceptions and 455 tackles over their
illustrious careers. However, halfway through the 1993 season,
the answer to the looming questions about Browning's new
squad is simple. These guys are tough.

Tom Tedder, Sr., FB, 6-0, 220, Pittsburgh, PA, Baldwin . . . starter for
most of last season until injury . . . has seen action in all 27 games for
which he has dressed since his freshman year . .. netted 71 yards on 25
carries and two scores last year . .. great blocker . . . considered one of
the toughest fullbacks in PSAC West... lost just 15 yards in 104 carries
in three-year career ... totals 436 yards and four scores in career.

ability to create big plays. In addition to their outstanding play at
the corners, Houston and Williams have been special teams
demons this season. In a game against Elizabeth City State Uni­
versity (North Carolina), Rio amazingly blocked three extra
points and tackled punter James Gonzo at his own one-yard line,
a performance that Steve Tasker himself would have been proud
to witness. Not to be outdone, Williams has already nm back a
blocked extra point for a two-point conversion and blocked a
pimt that Houston recovered in the end zone for a touchdown.
The two also teamed up on the first play from scrimmage at
ECSU when Williams laid a hit on running back Aaron Murchinson that may have had Sports Illustrated asking if Marty Williams
was too dangerous for college football. Williams' crushing blow
forced a fumble which was promptly scooped up by Houston on
the ECSU nine-yard line.

"Going into this season, 1 think we were really concerned,"
said Browning. "Any time you go into the season with a couple
of first year guys, of course you're going to be a little concerned.
The fact is, though, we have received a great deal of help from
our veterans and they have played as big a part as anyone in
bringing this secondary together."

Tony Tighe, Sr., OL, 6-7, 303, Toronto, ONT, Victoria Park . . . started
on both sides of the ball in his Boro career ... starts for second consecu­
tive year at offensive tackle . . . big with great feet and drive blocking
abilities . . . helped Boro lead the conference in rushing last year . . .
potential All-American ... can play DT in goal line situations./'

Russell has made his presence known in the defensive backfield with a team leading three interceptions, all of which have
ended opponents drives in Edinboro territory. In only two starts.
Walker has one interception, one forced fumble and one recovery.
All in all, the Boro secondary has picked and licked opponents
for nine interceptions and three forced fumbles in 1993, while
yielding only 195.6 yards through the air to opposing quarter­
backs (third in PSAC West).

Rick Walker, So., DB, 6-2,176, Homestead, PA, Steel ValJ'ey . . . pro­
jected as a starter in Scot secondary in 1993 . . . started twb games last
year as a freshman . .. made four tackles and broke up a pass in initial
season . . . will look to fill the shoes of graduated All-American Mike
Barnes at safety.
Tony Tighe

Browning claims that these statistics reflect the hard work
ethic that is practiced among his feared unit. "All that those stats
show you is that you've got four kids out there just playing their
butts off on every play. They're playing hard and Ihey're doing
what they're asked to do and when you do that, eventually big
plays are going to happen for you."

Rick Walker

Chadd Wallick, Jr., OL, 6-3, 260, Dover, OH, Dover . . . started half of
last season at guard spot... projected starter at guard again this season
. .. provided solid depth for offensive line that paved the way for 1992
PSAC West player of the year.
Marty Williams, So., DB, 5-10,173, Cleveland, OH, Shaw ... expected
to step into cornerback spot vacated by All-American Georj Lewis ...
saw action in 10 games a year ago in nickel situations . . . made three
tackles and broke up one pass . . . another ip I long line of outstanding
defensive backs from Cleveland to play at ^dinboro.

Mario Houston

After an opening game loss to Ferris State, the Boro has
finally regained attention nationally and regionally in the latest
polls. And as the competition gets a little stiffer down the stretch,
there is only one question left for Browning to answer. Will the
secondary be ready to elevate their status from boys to men?

Steve Russell

One of the veterans to which Browning is referring to is cor­
nerback Mario Houston, a four-year starter and former PSAC
Western Division Rookie of the Year. Browning, who has coached
"There's no question," says the confident coach. "We've got
four All-Americans during his tenure with the Scots, speaks
rather highly of Houston. "Rio loves to practice and loves to play ^ four competitive kids here and they're going to step up. These
four play with their heads as well as their bodies. The bigger the
the game of football like no one I've ever seen. He is probably the
challenge
the more prepared they are."
fiercest competitor I've ever had the opportunity to be around."
Browning has found another great leader in junior strong
safety Steve Russell, who in just two and a half years as a starter
is only three interceptions away from tying Edinboro's all-time
career individual mark of thirteen. "Stevie is one of the most
focused guys on our squad. He is very goal-oriented and takes a
lot of pride in what he does. He is the type who wants to be a
leader, a front-ruimer, and he's not afraid to take that responsibil­
ity."
The younger guys who have made a sudden impact are a
pair of sophomores, cornerback Marty Williams and free safety
Rick Walker.
"Williams and Walker are a couple of guys who have been
with us a year and they know what playing our type of defense
is all about," Browning remarked. "They've prepared themselves
both mentally and physically and have been anxious to step in
and take on the challenge."

Rick Walker

What has made these four athletes so exceptionally exciting
through six games is the way they work together and their

Under the direction of Tom Hollman,
the Scots have not only excelled on the
field but in the classroom.
Over the past two years, 45 different
student-athletes have earned semester
grade point averages of 3.0 or better
while eleven current Fighting Scots have
cumulative point averages above the
mark. Twenty-one football players made
up over 25% of the 79 student-athletes
and support personnel that were honored
last spring for their academic and athletic
success.
The Scots boasted a pair of academic
All-Americans last season as graduating
seniors Sean Seibert and Brian Heebsh
were recognized as National Scholar-Ath­
letes by the College Football Preview
magazine. Seibert earned his political sci­
ence degree in just seven semesters and

finished his academic career with a per­
fect 4.0 QPA last fall. Seibert's farn^ on the
field can be measured in leading the Plaid
to their only NCAA II playoff win in
1990. Heebsh was named second team
All-PSAC West last year for his efforts on
the field.
Two other Scots deserving special
recognition are All-Americans Georj
Lewis and Mike Barnes. Combining to
start 85 games in the Edinboro defensive
backfield during their careers the two­
some were also nominated for the NCAA
Minority Post-Graduate Scholarship this
past winter by the University. Over the
last four years, Lewis started every game
for the Boro and graduated in business
administration with better than a 3.0
cumulative grade average.

The state universities spent the
first 100 years of existence train­
ing 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 nor­
mal schools, and by 1921 the pre­
sent configuration of 14
state-owned universities was
established. The 14 normal
schools evolved from state nor­
mal schools, to state teachers col­
leges, to state colleges. On
November 12, 1982, Act 188 was
signed into law establishing on
July 1, 1993 the Pennsylvania
