HOME OF THE FIGHTING SCOTS - SOX HARRISON STADIUM
Serving as home for ESC athletes and fans is Sox Harrison Stadium.
The
edifice was dedicated in the fall of 1965 in honor of "Sox" Harrison who served
as head football and basketball coach at the College for 35 years.
His 1931-32
cage record of 11 wins and 1 loss still stands as one of the best marks ever
posted by an Edinboro basketball team.
Sox still enjoys watching the Fighting
Scots on Saturday afternoons as one of their most ardent fans.
Complete facilities are located beneath the grandstand area, which seats
2,500 people.
Locker space for both the home and visiting teams, the coaching
staff offices and locker room, the officials' dressing room, the training room,
showers, the weight room and a laundry room are utilized within this space.
Also included are restrooms, janitors' facilities, equipment rooms, a large con
cession stand and a glass enclosed press box.
In addition to the football field, the stadium also contains complete track
facilities.
A quarter-mile oval, a 220 straight-away and asphalt approaches for
the field events highlight the home of the cinder sport.
Bleacher seats on the visitors side of the stadium bring the total seating
capacity to 4,500.

1980 OUTLOOK
YOUNG SCOT GRIDDERS READY TO COME OF AGE
Edinboro State grid coach, Denny Creehan', enters his second year at the
helm leading a young band of Fighting Scots who came of age midway through the
1979 season.
Creehan, whose club won three of its last four games, has 35
1etterwinners on hand for the 1980 campaign, among which are 19 returning starters.
"In spite of the large number of lettermen, we're still a young ball team"
claims Creehan.
"Nineteen of our 35 lettermen are juniors who have only sopho
more playing experience at the varsity level."
Nevertheless, the Scots appear to have the basic ingredients to be a
respectable competitor in the Pennsylvania Conference's tough Western Division.
The major problem Edinboro State faces is replacing quarterback Rick Shover,
who left via the diploma route.
Battling it out for the starting nod are sopho
more Vince Piccolomini (6-2, 190) and junior Bob Jacobs (6-1, 175).
Piccolomini
is noted primarily for his passing talents and saw limited varsity action behind
Shover a year ago.
Jacobs, however, had an excellent spring and moved the Scot
offense effectively in the spring game while also demonstrating that his passing
had vastly improved.
Backing up the signal-cal 1ing duo will be sophomore Larry
Wheeler.
Six experienced running backs who came away with varsity letters should be
able to effectively pace the ESC ground attack when the quarterback problem is
solved.
The top two rushers return in leading ground gainer Joe Early (5-9,
168) and runner-up Ron Houston (6-2, 190), both seniors.
Early netted 356 yards,
averaging 3.8 per carry, with Houston, the starting fullback in nine games,
fighting forward for 248 yards, showing 3.7 yards per try.
Expected to start at the other halfback slot is speedy junior Mike Ray who
showed a respectable 3.6 yards per run at the line.
Running backs still in the
thick of the race to tote the pigskin are 1etterwinners Fran Mifsud, Duane
Churma, and fullback Steve Riddle (6-1, 210, Sr.).
Power back Fred Hutzenlaub
(5-10, 180, Jr.), who was impressive in the spring, should also make his
presence known in the backfield.
Creehan breathes his biggest sigh of relief when he views the prospects
on the Scots' offensive line.
Returning starters man each position which should
also prove to the liking of ESC's backfield.
-8-
The front wall is anchored by
senior center Rick Koschar (6-2, 220) and shored up by junior guards Tom
Kisiday (6-0, 200) and Chris Rounds (6-1, 235), along with tackles Mike Garlick
(6-2, 225, Sr.) and Mark Swiatek (6-4, 230, Jr.).
Making the outlook even brighter is the depth offered by an offensive line
that has ten gridders returning who traveled with the squad last year.
Pro
viding back-up help at each position are senior center Tom Bourne (6-2, 200),
tackles Cyril Kenney (6-2, 230) and Troy Carter (6-3, 230), and guards Gary
Greban (6-0, 220) and Joe Veverka (6-1, 212).
A11-Pennsylvania Conference wide receiver Tim Beacham headlines the passcatching corps.
Noted for his ability to run away from defenders after he gets
the ball, Beacham totaled 34 receptions for 590 yards last fall and tied an ESC
record with his 10 catches against Fairmont.
Alternating with him will be
junior Tom Gierlak.
The lone line spot on the offensive unit that doesn’t showcase a returning
starter is at tight end.
The incumbent after spring is junior Bill Matuscak
(6-3, 205) whose challenges will come from a talented crop of freshmen.
"Overall, I think quickness will be our main strength on offense," summarized
Creehan about the unit that sees 9 of 11 starters back in the field.
"Our major
concern here, of course, will be replacing the two major skill positions of
quarterback and tight end," the second-year mentor concluded.
There are no glaring weaknesses on the Fighting Scot defensive unit which
has all but one starter returning from a group that yielded only 14.8 points per
game last year.
Working up front in the trenches are tackles Jim Collins (6-5, 230, Sr.)
and Ron Link (6-3, 235, Jr.), middle guard Barry Swanson (6-1, 220, So.), and
defensive end Doug Smith (6-1, 210, Sr.).
Collins, who has been tagged early
as one of the top defensive tackles in the Conference, finished third on last
season's tackle charts with 102 stops to his credit and tied for the top spot
in quarterback sacks with three.
Smith, one of the team's 1980 captains, will
be a three-year starter at the outside terminal position.
Swanson had a stellar
freshman debut with his 63 hits ranking sixth among the leaders and recorded a
game-willing safety against Westminster.
Ron Link will don the pads after missing a season due to an injury.
He
has already pocketed a pair of varsity monograms operating at a tackle slot
during his freshman and sophomore campaigns.
Edinboro probably has its best depth along the defensive front with lettermen Chris McCleary (6-1, 200, Sr.)» Jim Rosick (6-2, 220, Jr.)» and Pete
Butterini (6-1, 210, Jr.) forming a strong reserve force.
Butterini has out
standing quickness and most likely will replace Swanson at the nose guard in
passing situations.
Opposing backs won't find the going much easier with a trio of formidable
linebackers in the second line of defense.
The junior threesome consists of
Bob Cicerchi (5-10, 180), Brian Hassett (6-2, 220), and Chris Pera (6-3, 220).
Each took turns in the starting rotation as they were periodically sidelined
with injuries last fall, but still came up with yeoman performances.
Cicerchi
distinguished himself playing all over the field and earned runner-up honors
in the tackling department with 103 stops, just four shy of the Scots' leader,
Willie Curry.
Pera pilfered an Indiana pass and returned it 33 yards for a
game-winning touchdown against the Big Indians last year.
Still policing a Scot secondary that permitted foes to complete only 39
percent of their passes and a stingy 99.7 yards per game are seniors Nick
Sobecki and Dan Allie at the corners with three-year starter, hard-hitting Ron
Miller at free safety.
Senior Scot Lewandowski will fill the strong safety
spot vacated by All-American Ken Petardi.
The letter-winning quartet will
receive relief duty from junior veteran Mike Abbiatici at cornerback and
senior Stewart Ayers, a converted running back, at strong safety.
Sophomore
Bob Gerthoffer's fine spring showing has also placed him in the backup contingent.
"We have a solid group in our secondary, who shouldn't make mistakes,"
projected Creehan.
"This could be the one area where we lack experienced depth,
but our front liners have been around long enough to know what to do."
In the specialty department, sohpomore placekicker Rick Ruszkiewicz should
augment the Scots' overall attack.
He finished as the team's leading scorer in
his rookie year by hitting on five of ten field goal tries and chipped in six
extra point conversions for his 21-point total.
He split the uprights from 47
yards against California to record the longest field goal in ESC's history.
Ruszkiewicz will also handle the punting chores.
Leading the Fighting Scots into their 1980 nine-game schedule are senior
captains Dan Allie, Jim Collins, Mike Garlick and Doug Smith.
Their opener is
slated for Erie's 10,000-seat Veterans' Stadium against Westminster College.

N
COACH DENNY CREEHAN - BEGINNING OF AN ERA
Edinboro State named its ninth
mentor in the College's football history
last year with the appointment of Dennis
Creehan, a staff assistant for three
years, as the Fighting Scots' head coach.
Creehan took over the reins from Bill
McDonald, who had successfully guided the
ESC grid program for ten years and had
served as head coach when Creehan starred
on the gridiron for the Scots.
"I appreciate the opportunity the
College has given me and look forward
to the challenge of directing our foot
ball program," commented the then 29-year
old coach.
"Of course, I am a graduate
of Edinboro State College and it means
HEAD COACH DENNY CREEHAN
an awful lot to me personally to be
placed in this position."
Creehan was a captain of Edinboro State's 1970 team that captured the
Lambert Bowl, emblematic as the best small college football team in the East,
won the Pennsylvania Conference championship and earned a berth in the NAIA
national playoffs.
He starred in the secondary as a strong safety that season
when the Fighting Scots finished their regular campaign undefeated with a 9-0
record.
Prior to his stint on the Edinboro State staff, Creehan served as
recruiting coordinator at the University of Pittsburgh in 1974 under Coach
Johnny Majors.
The following year he was a member of the Carnegie Mellon
University football staff as the team's offensive coordinator.
Upon graduation from Edinboro in 1971, Creehan was offensive coordinator
at Keystone Oaks High School in Pittsburgh and directed an offense that netted
300 yards per game.
A year later as Keystone Oaks' defensive coordinator, the
newly appointed coach tutored a unit that allowed only 8 points per game and
permitted only a 33 percent pass completion mark by opposing quarterbacks.
-11-
After starring as both a fullback and strong safety at Bethel Park High
School, the Castle Shannon, Pa., native accumulated numerous gridiron honors
at Edinboro State.
At the conclusion of his senior campaign for the Fighting Scots, he was
accorded first team All-East honors by the ECAC and first team All-State
Associated Press accolades while performing as the Scots' strong safety.
In
addition, he was named to the Pittsburgh Press All-District first team and
to the NAIA District 18 All-Star squad.
He was one of three 1970 ESC captains
who accepted Edinboro's Lambert Bowl trophy at the Lambert Awards Banquet in
New York City.
Creehan distinguished himself in the coaching ranks as defensive coordinator
at Edinboro State College in 1976 when the Scots were ranked fourth among the
nation's NCAA schools in rushing defense and claimed 18 interceptions.
In the Spring of 1977, he performed as acting head coach for Edinboro
State's Bill McDonald who was on a sabbatical leave.
Along with his B.S. degree from Edinboro in 1971, Creehan has also earned
an M.S. degree from Duquesne University and an M.Ed. from Pitt.
Creehan's first season at the Scot helm proved to be an exciting debut.
His young gridders came seconds away from registering a .500 record.
After
losing four of their first six games, the Fighting Scots won three of their
final four contests.
They finished the 1979 campaign 4-6 and closed out the
year with upsets over Indiana and Westminster.
The son of Mr. and Mrs. Jerry Creehan of Bethel Park, the Fighting Scot
coach resides in Edinboro with his wife, Linda, and their two sons, Kevin and
Casey.

ALL-TIME SCORES 1926 - 1931
Edinboro's intercollegiate football history began in 1926 when Edinboro
became a four-year degree granting institution and for the first time played
a complete intercollegiate schedule against other four-year degree granting
institutions. Prior to the 1926 season, Edinboro was a state normal school
and did not play a complete intercollegiate schedule. Therefore, any records
prior to that season should not be considered as part of the intercollegiate
football history of Edinboro State College.

under his guidance during his first year.
"We're delighted in the manner that President Diebold has accepted the responsi

HOME OF THE FIGHTING SCOTS - SOX HARRISON STADIUM
Serving as home for ESC athletes and fans is Sox Harrison Stadium.
The
edifice was dedicated in the fall of 1965 in honor of "Sox" Harrison who served
as head football and basketball coach at the College for 35 years.
His 1931-32
cage record of 11 wins and 1 loss still stands as one of the best marks ever
posted by an Edinboro basketball team.
Sox still enjoys watching the Fighting
Scots on Saturday afternoons as one of their most ardent fans.
Complete facilities are located beneath the grandstand area, which seats
2,500 people.
Locker space for both the home and visiting teams, the coaching
staff offices and locker room, the officials' dressing room, the training room,
showers, the weight room and a laundry room are utilized within this space.
Also included are restrooms, janitors' facilities, equipment rooms, a large con
cession stand and a glass enclosed press box.
In addition to the football field, the stadium also contains complete track
facilities.
A quarter-mile oval, a 220 straight-away and asphalt approaches for
the field events highlight the home of the cinder sport.
Bleacher seats on the visitors side of the stadium bring the total seating
capacity to 4,500.

1980 OUTLOOK
YOUNG SCOT GRIDDERS READY TO COME OF AGE
Edinboro State grid coach, Denny Creehan', enters his second year at the
helm leading a young band of Fighting Scots who came of age midway through the
1979 season.
Creehan, whose club won three of its last four games, has 35
1etterwinners on hand for the 1980 campaign, among which are 19 returning starters.
"In spite of the large number of lettermen, we're still a young ball team"
claims Creehan.
"Nineteen of our 35 lettermen are juniors who have only sopho
more playing experience at the varsity level."
Nevertheless, the Scots appear to have the basic ingredients to be a
respectable competitor in the Pennsylvania Conference's tough Western Division.
The major problem Edinboro State faces is replacing quarterback Rick Shover,
who left via the diploma route.
Battling it out for the starting nod are sopho
more Vince Piccolomini (6-2, 190) and junior Bob Jacobs (6-1, 175).
Piccolomini
is noted primarily for his passing talents and saw limited varsity action behind
Shover a year ago.
Jacobs, however, had an excellent spring and moved the Scot
offense effectively in the spring game while also demonstrating that his passing
had vastly improved.
Backing up the signal-cal 1ing duo will be sophomore Larry
Wheeler.
Six experienced running backs who came away with varsity letters should be
able to effectively pace the ESC ground attack when the quarterback problem is
solved.
The top two rushers return in leading ground gainer Joe Early (5-9,
168) and runner-up Ron Houston (6-2, 190), both seniors.
Early netted 356 yards,
averaging 3.8 per carry, with Houston, the starting fullback in nine games,
fighting forward for 248 yards, showing 3.7 yards per try.
Expected to start at the other halfback slot is speedy junior Mike Ray who
showed a respectable 3.6 yards per run at the line.
Running backs still in the
thick of the race to tote the pigskin are 1etterwinners Fran Mifsud, Duane
Churma, and fullback Steve Riddle (6-1, 210, Sr.).
Power back Fred Hutzenlaub
(5-10, 180, Jr.), who was impressive in the spring, should also make his
presence known in the backfield.
Creehan breathes his biggest sigh of relief when he views the prospects
on the Scots' offensive line.
Returning starters man each position which should
also prove to the liking of ESC's backfield.
-8-
The front wall is anchored by
senior center Rick Koschar (6-2, 220) and shored up by junior guards Tom
Kisiday (6-0, 200) and Chris Rounds (6-1, 235), along with tackles Mike Garlick
(6-2, 225, Sr.) and Mark Swiatek (6-4, 230, Jr.).
Making the outlook even brighter is the depth offered by an offensive line
that has ten gridders returning who traveled with the squad last year.
Pro
viding back-up help at each position are senior center Tom Bourne (6-2, 200),
tackles Cyril Kenney (6-2, 230) and Troy Carter (6-3, 230), and guards Gary
Greban (6-0, 220) and Joe Veverka (6-1, 212).
A11-Pennsylvania Conference wide receiver Tim Beacham headlines the passcatching corps.
Noted for his ability to run away from defenders after he gets
the ball, Beacham totaled 34 receptions for 590 yards last fall and tied an ESC
record with his 10 catches against Fairmont.
Alternating with him will be
junior Tom Gierlak.
The lone line spot on the offensive unit that doesn’t showcase a returning
starter is at tight end.
The incumbent after spring is junior Bill Matuscak
(6-3, 205) whose challenges will come from a talented crop of freshmen.
"Overall, I think quickness will be our main strength on offense," summarized
Creehan about the unit that sees 9 of 11 starters back in the field.
"Our major
concern here, of course, will be replacing the two major skill positions of
quarterback and tight end," the second-year mentor concluded.
There are no glaring weaknesses on the Fighting Scot defensive unit which
has all but one starter returning from a group that yielded only 14.8 points per
game last year.
Working up front in the trenches are tackles Jim Collins (6-5, 230, Sr.)
and Ron Link (6-3, 235, Jr.), middle guard Barry Swanson (6-1, 220, So.), and
defensive end Doug Smith (6-1, 210, Sr.).
Collins, who has been tagged early
as one of the top defensive tackles in the Conference, finished third on last
season's tackle charts with 102 stops to his credit and tied for the top spot
in quarterback sacks with three.
Smith, one of the team's 1980 captains, will
be a three-year starter at the outside terminal position.
Swanson had a stellar
freshman debut with his 63 hits ranking sixth among the leaders and recorded a
game-willing safety against Westminster.
Ron Link will don the pads after missing a season due to an injury.
He
has already pocketed a pair of varsity monograms operating at a tackle slot
during his freshman and sophomore campaigns.
Edinboro probably has its best depth along the defensive front with lettermen Chris McCleary (6-1, 200, Sr.)» Jim Rosick (6-2, 220, Jr.)» and Pete
Butterini (6-1, 210, Jr.) forming a strong reserve force.
Butterini has out
standing quickness and most likely will replace Swanson at the nose guard in
passing situations.
Opposing backs won't find the going much easier with a trio of formidable
linebackers in the second line of defense.
The junior threesome consists of
Bob Cicerchi (5-10, 180), Brian Hassett (6-2, 220), and Chris Pera (6-3, 220).
Each took turns in the starting rotation as they were periodically sidelined
with injuries last fall, but still came up with yeoman performances.
Cicerchi
distinguished himself playing all over the field and earned runner-up honors
in the tackling department with 103 stops, just four shy of the Scots' leader,
Willie Curry.
Pera pilfered an Indiana pass and returned it 33 yards for a
game-winning touchdown against the Big Indians last year.
Still policing a Scot secondary that permitted foes to complete only 39
percent of their passes and a stingy 99.7 yards per game are seniors Nick
Sobecki and Dan Allie at the corners with three-year starter, hard-hitting Ron
Miller at free safety.
Senior Scot Lewandowski will fill the strong safety
spot vacated by All-American Ken Petardi.
The letter-winning quartet will
receive relief duty from junior veteran Mike Abbiatici at cornerback and
senior Stewart Ayers, a converted running back, at strong safety.
Sophomore
Bob Gerthoffer's fine spring showing has also placed him in the backup contingent.
"We have a solid group in our secondary, who shouldn't make mistakes,"
projected Creehan.
"This could be the one area where we lack experienced depth,
but our front liners have been around long enough to know what to do."
In the specialty department, sohpomore placekicker Rick Ruszkiewicz should
augment the Scots' overall attack.
He finished as the team's leading scorer in
his rookie year by hitting on five of ten field goal tries and chipped in six
extra point conversions for his 21-point total.
He split the uprights from 47
yards against California to record the longest field goal in ESC's history.
Ruszkiewicz will also handle the punting chores.
Leading the Fighting Scots into their 1980 nine-game schedule are senior
captains Dan Allie, Jim Collins, Mike Garlick and Doug Smith.
Their opener is
slated for Erie's 10,000-seat Veterans' Stadium against Westminster College.

N
COACH DENNY CREEHAN - BEGINNING OF AN ERA
Edinboro State named its ninth
mentor in the College's football history
last year with the appointment of Dennis
Creehan, a staff assistant for three
years, as the Fighting Scots' head coach.
Creehan took over the reins from Bill
McDonald, who had successfully guided the
ESC grid program for ten years and had
served as head coach when Creehan starred
on the gridiron for the Scots.
"I appreciate the opportunity the
College has given me and look forward
to the challenge of directing our foot
ball program," commented the then 29-year
old coach.
"Of course, I am a graduate
of Edinboro State College and it means
HEAD COACH DENNY CREEHAN
an awful lot to me personally to be
placed in this position."
Creehan was a captain of Edinboro State's 1970 team that captured the
Lambert Bowl, emblematic as the best small college football team in the East,
won the Pennsylvania Conference championship and earned a berth in the NAIA
national playoffs.
He starred in the secondary as a strong safety that season
when the Fighting Scots finished their regular campaign undefeated with a 9-0
record.
Prior to his stint on the Edinboro State staff, Creehan served as
recruiting coordinator at the University of Pittsburgh in 1974 under Coach
Johnny Majors.
The following year he was a member of the Carnegie Mellon
University football staff as the team's offensive coordinator.
Upon graduation from Edinboro in 1971, Creehan was offensive coordinator
at Keystone Oaks High School in Pittsburgh and directed an offense that netted
300 yards per game.
A year later as Keystone Oaks' defensive coordinator, the
newly appointed coach tutored a unit that allowed only 8 points per game and
permitted only a 33 percent pass completion mark by opposing quarterbacks.
-11-
After starring as both a fullback and strong safety at Bethel Park High
School, the Castle Shannon, Pa., native accumulated numerous gridiron honors
at Edinboro State.
At the conclusion of his senior campaign for the Fighting Scots, he was
accorded first team All-East honors by the ECAC and first team All-State
Associated Press accolades while performing as the Scots' strong safety.
In
addition, he was named to the Pittsburgh Press All-District first team and
to the NAIA District 18 All-Star squad.
He was one of three 1970 ESC captains
who accepted Edinboro's Lambert Bowl trophy at the Lambert Awards Banquet in
New York City.
Creehan distinguished himself in the coaching ranks as defensive coordinator
at Edinboro State College in 1976 when the Scots were ranked fourth among the
nation's NCAA schools in rushing defense and claimed 18 interceptions.
In the Spring of 1977, he performed as acting head coach for Edinboro
State's Bill McDonald who was on a sabbatical leave.
Along with his B.S. degree from Edinboro in 1971, Creehan has also earned
an M.S. degree from Duquesne University and an M.Ed. from Pitt.
Creehan's first season at the Scot helm proved to be an exciting debut.
His young gridders came seconds away from registering a .500 record.
After
losing four of their first six games, the Fighting Scots won three of their
final four contests.
They finished the 1979 campaign 4-6 and closed out the
year with upsets over Indiana and Westminster.
The son of Mr. and Mrs. Jerry Creehan of Bethel Park, the Fighting Scot
coach resides in Edinboro with his wife, Linda, and their two sons, Kevin and
Casey.

grad was elected team captain while starring scholastically as a three-year
starter both offensively and defensively.
He was an All-Conference and All-State
selection as well as being tabbed a high school All-American during his career at
Dover.
The Scot coach continued his gridiron endeavors on the campus of Millers-
ville State College where he started at both offensive guard and tackle slots for
three seasons.
The stellar lineman captained Millersville's 1976 squad and twice
earned All-Conference and NAIA All-America honorable mention honors.
After
graduation from Millersville in 1973, Dave accepted a head football coaching
position at Delmar Junior-Senior High School in Delmar, Delaware, and a year
later became assistant coach at Howard High In Elicott City, Maryland.
In both
coaching assignments, he specialized in directing offensive line hopefuls.
JIM CONNOLLY - Receivers Coach
Youngstown, Ohio's Jim Connolly is a newcomer to the Edinboro State football
program where he will groom the Fighting Scot receiving corps.
The Buckeye
state product began his football career as a defensive end at Austintown Fitch
High School where he graduated in 1975.
Connolly continued his gridiron exploits
at Tennessee Tech playing as a defensive tackle for three seasons.
After receiving
his B.S. degree in Health and Physical Education in 1979, Connolly accepted a
graduate assistant coaching position at Youngstown State University.
During his
past season with the Penguins, he helped coach the tight ends before coming to
the Scot staff in a similar capacity. The first-year Edinboro State tutor and his
recent bride, Brenda, now make their home in Edinboro.
14-
TONY FERRARI - Defensive Line Coach
Making his return to the Pennsylvania Conference collegiate ranks where he
starred as a defensive tackle, Tony Ferrari will be sharing his expertise with
Scot defensive linemen.
Originally from Greensburg, Pa., the 1965 Hempfield
High graduate earned A11-Conference, All-WPIAL, All-City and All-State honorable
mention honors during his scholastic playing days as an offensive and defensive
tackle.
Ferrari was a four-year starter at Indiana University of Pa., where he
was awarded a B.S. in social studies degree in 1970.
He anchored a Big Indian
defense in 1968 that paced Indiana to an undefeated season and an appearance in
the Boardwalk Bowl at Atlantic City, New Jersey.
The defensive stalwart holds
the distinction of being named the Tribe's "Tackle of the Decade."
From 1970
through 1974, he was an assistant grid coach at Yough High School, south of
Pittsburgh where he was also head wrestling coach.
For the past five years
(1974-1979), Tony has been the head football coach at nearby Girard High School
and has also been the Yellow Jackets' head wrestling coach.
The new ESC tutor
who also teaches driver education at Girard High, resides in Girard with his
daughter, Nina (10), and son "A.J." (6).
CARL ALLEY - Offensive Backs Coach
Another first-year member of Edinboro State's football staff is Carl Alley
from Pittsburgh's Moon Township.
Prior to attending Findlay College in Ohio on
a football scholarship that was cut short after his freshman year due to an injury,
he landed All-WPIAL and All-State honorable mention laurels as an offensive and
defensive halfback at Moon High School.
Carl then transferred to Slippery Rock
State College where he was awarded a B.S. degree in health and physical education
in 1972 and an M.S. in 1975.
He pursued further graduate work at the University
of Pittsburgh where he has completed his course work toward his doctorate.
His
football coaching career got underway at Erie's McDowell High in 1972 as an
offensive and defensive backs coach, a capacity which he continued at Academy
High School in 1976.
Two years later, the Pittsburgh product served as offensive
coordinator and secondary coach at Albion's Northwestern High School.
Alley was
head coach of the semi-pro Erie Express football team in 1979 and has helped the
Scots in spring drills over the past two years.
He resides in Erie with his wife,
Donna, and their two children, Carla (7) and Joe (4).
-15-
RICH FORMOSA - Defensive Ends Coach
Returning to his alma mater to instruct the Fighting Scot defensive ends
is Rich Formosa.
His gridiron career began at McKees Rocks Stowe High School
(now Sto-Rox) where he graduated in 1962 after earning A11-Conference honors as
an offensive guard and linebacker on the defensive unit.
He ventured to Montana
State College and later transferred to Edinboro after his freshman campaign.
Formosa played offensive guard from 1964 through 1966 for the then called Edinboro
"Red Raiders."
Upon receiving a B.S. degree in elementary education, he joined
the Girard High School staff as an assistant coach for two seasons.
Ever since
1969, he has been an assistant at Edinboro's General McLane High School where he
has primarily been defensive coordinator.
In addition to his undergraduate degree.
Rich received his M.Ed. in 1969 from Edinboro, a degree in elementary administration
in 1974 and a degree in secondary administration in 1976.
He resides in Edinboro
and has two children, Tracy (11) and Lindsey (8).
**************************
AL HALL - Athletic Director
A1 Hall will begin his 13th year of directing Edinboro State College's
athletic program which has grown under his leadership from six intercollegiate
sports in 1968 to the current total of sixteen, seven of which are women's teams
and nine are men's sports.
He has also directed ESC to new memberships in the
ECAC (Eastern Collegiate Athletic Conference), the NCAA (National Collegiate
Athletic Association), and the AIAW (Association of Intercollegiate Athletics for
Women).
Through his efforts, the Edinboro campus has become a focal point for
athletics in northwestern Pennsylvania and has hosted numerous district, regional,
conference and national championship events at both the scholastic and inter
collegiate levels.
Typical of this was the designation of Edinboro as the site
for the 1972 National YMCA Diving and Swimming Championships, the largest swimming
meet in the world.
He was also the main figure in making ESC's Sox Harrison
Stadium the annual site of the July Cleveland Browns/Buffalo Bills rookie scrimmage,
an event that attracts thousands of professional football fans.
The ambitious Edinboro Athletic Director was elected President of the Penn
sylvania Conference at a recent meeting of the 13-member athletic participating
colleges.
A1 , his wife, Pam, and two children, Beth (9) and Dale (8), reside in
Edinboro.

ALL-TIME SCORES 1926 - 1931
Edinboro's intercollegiate football history began in 1926 when Edinboro
became a four-year degree granting institution and for the first time played
a complete intercollegiate schedule against other four-year degree granting
institutions. Prior to the 1926 season, Edinboro was a state normal school
and did not play a complete intercollegiate schedule. Therefore, any records
prior to that season should not be considered as part of the intercollegiate
football history of Edinboro State College.
