Edinboro Welcomes Eastern Champion Millersville
Griffin (28,392, 5), Scott Mikowicz (19,312, 2), David Ashton (19,
267, 3) and Lateef Walters (13, 367, 4). Eight different players
have caught six-pointers this season.
Millersville features an awesome running attack spearhead
ed by junior Marc DeBellis. Rushing for a school-record 275
yards last week, he averages 139.6 yards per game with his 1,256
tallies and 10 scores. Scott Mack (504, 5 TDs) can also carry the
load. Quarterback Brad Fickes (59 of 136 for 678 yards, 6 TDs, 9
INTs) runs the show. Kevin Cannon is the 'Ville's top receiver,
with 26 grabs for 319 yards and a pair of scores. Fullback Dan
Esposito has caught 15 balls for 154 yards out of the backfield.

L______
The Fighting Scots welcome the Marauders of Millersville
University today. It is a must win for both clubs, if thoughts of a
NCAA Division II playoff bid are forthcoming November 14. The
contest is sponsored by Pizza Hut.
The Records
Edinboro enters the fray at 7-2 and 5-1 in the Pennsylvania
State Athletic Conference Western Division while Millersville
claimed the PSAC Eastern crown last week and stands at 8-1,6-0.
The Scots have sandwiched seven consecutive wins in
between a pair of losses (Ferris State 23-9, lUP 31-24) in '93. Boro
victories have come over Elizabeth City (34-27), Buffalo (28-17),
Clarion (28-0), Lock Haven (52-20), Shippensburg (34-17), Cali
fornia (32-7) and Slippery Rock (41-38).
Millersville started 2-1 with wins over Shepherd (38-14) and
American International (30-10) before falling to Shippensburg
(16-14). They enter Sox Harrison with six straight wins over
Bloomsburg (26-0), Kutztown (41-7), West Chester (14-10), East
Stroudsburg (20-7), Cheyney (51-6) and Mansfield (32-8).
The Defenses
The Scots face a stern test for the third consecutive week in
DeBellis. Two-time All-American linebacker Jason Perkins (105
tackles, 12 for loss, 6 interceptions) is turning in his best year
ever. He has recovered one fumble and has blocked three extra
points. Michael Edwards (104, 2 recoveries) is close behind
Perkins and has put up all-conference numbers in '93. Bryan
Lambert (43) and Rahshahn Alston (58) share time at the other
linebacker spot.
Up front, end Pat Schuster (68) continues to lead the team
with 11 sacks while tackles Russell Cray (73, 8 sacks) and Rob
Harmer (45, 6 sacks) and end Devas Simmons (47) will also get
the nod. Otha Davidson and Matt Gentile will also get time.
The secondary has been steady, led by All-American candi
dates Steve Russell and Mario Houston. Russell is tied with
Perkins with six interceptions and has also been in on 47 stops.
Houston has 60 tackles and is tied for the team lead with eight
deflections. His 46 career deflections ties for number one on the
all-time list. Joining the duo will be free safety Rick Walker (43)
and cornerback Marty Williams (49,8 deflections).
All-PSAC East choice Scott Martin (DT) leads the Marauder
charge. His 16 sacks lead the squad to go along with his 67 stops.
End Jes Kaercher (68) is nearby with a dozen sacks. Rick Boyer is
the top linebacker with 79 tackles, while secondary mates Derric
Currie (38,4 INTs, 7 deflections), Chris Lupp (29, 3 INTs) and Joe
Fimple (67,10 deflections) anchor the final line of defense.
The Series
The Boro has won the last two games, but Marauders hold a
3-2 edge in a series that dates back to 1977. Edinboro's victory
margin has been decisive in the past two contests, 28-0 in 1980
and 36-12 last year in Millersville.
The Coaches
Matching wits with lUP's Frank Cignetti last week, Edin
boro's Tom Hollman gets another stiff challenge from
Millersville's Dr. Gene Carpenter.
Hollman, in his sixth season with the Scots, has posted 44
wins against just 18 losses and a tie (.703%) including a 27-7-2
(.778) standard in the rugged PSAC Western Division. Hollman
was the 1989 PSAC and East Region coach of the year and has
led the Scots to the NCAA playoffs three times.
Carpenter, a veteran of 25 years in the coaching ranks, boasts
an outstanding 167-70-5 (.700) mark. Twenty-four of those years
have been directing the Marauders (159-69-5, .696%). The win
over Mansfield last week was Carpenter's 100th in PSAC play
Special Teams/Kicking Game/Turnover Ratio
The Boro continues to look to All-American punter Gary
Lhotsky (39.7 YPP) and placeman Scott Rupert (32-34 PAT, 4-10
FG) to handle the kicking duties. The Marauders count on punter
Brandon Lynch (36.2) and All-PSAC East choice Brad Heim (2730 PAT, 11-22 FG) to do the placekicking.
Edinboro's Steve Russell is turning out to be one of the coun
try's top kickoff return specialists (30.5 YPR) while the 'Ville
looks to Kevin Cannon who is also strong averaging 29.8 per try.
The Scots look to Marcus Griffin (6.4) to return punts while Can
non has returned one for a score and nets 11.5 per return.
The turnover margin is close with the Scots holding a slight
edge. Edinboro stands at +10 (31 takeaways, 21 turnovers) while
Millersville counters with a +8 (28,20).

Quarterback Jody Dickerson will get his 32nd straight start
imder center for the Scots. One of the PSAC's best, he has con
nected on 102 of 211 passes (48%) for 1,682 yards and carries a
139.0 efficiency rating. Dickerson's 20 touchdown passes is the
second most for a single season in Edinboro history. He has
tossed just eight interceptions.
The ground attack is solidified by tailback Larry Jackson
(124.4 yards per game). He has rushed for 100+ yards in five con
secutive starts and totals 995 markers and six scores on the year.
With five yards today, Jackson will become the first Edinboro
runner ever to eclipse the 1,000 yard barrier in consecutive sea
sons (1,218 in '92). Fullback Tom Tedder (27, 89, 4 TDs) leads the
way.

Now in his fourteenth year as
president of Edinboro University of
Pennsylvania, Foster F. 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 universities. 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 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 Coimcil 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 fimd 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.
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.

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 com
piled 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 Dis
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 imdergraduate, 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.
As a resident of Edinboro,
McDonald has a record of extensive
community involvement. He was Lit
tle 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.

"It" in this case means success. Hav
ing made the NCAA II playoffs three of
the past five years under 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, under
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
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 1

Head Coach Tom Hollman
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.
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.

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

with 13 career interceptions and
earned All-American and All-District
honors during the 1966 and 1967 sea
sons. Hollman also lettered in base
ball for three years during his stay at
Ohio Northern.
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 his threeyear stay.
Hollman then moved 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, imbeaten 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 history (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 commimity 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, Tim and Denise.

Eighteen Boro Seniors to Play Last Home Game
scouted by the pros. This afternoon marks his 44th consecutive
start. During that span, Kegarise has blocked for two Harlon Hill
finalists and three All-American rurming backs, while helping
Edinboro amass nearly 17,000 yards of total offense. He is the son
of Steve and Carol Kegarise.
Lhotsky has led the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference
in punting in each of the last two seasons. His 39.7 yards-perpunt average this year once again tops the conference and ranks
among the top 15 nationally. The 1992 PSAC West first team
selection and honorable mention All-American is the son of Mar
garet and Joseph Lhotsky.
Macintosh has seen limited action in a Scot imiform, but has
contributed with solid special teams play. Last year, he registered
his only career catch and continues to provide a reliable backup
at the wide receiver spot. Macintosh is the son of Carol and Bill
Soule.
Mikowicz, the son of Mike and Nancy Mikowicz, has
stepped into the tight end spot and hauled in 18 passes for 306
yards and a pair of touchdowns. Equally successful off the field,
Mikowicz is an NCAA Post Graduate Scholarship nominee, as
well as a nominee for the GTE Academic All-America team with
his 3.5+ grade point average.
Perkins, a graduate of Geneva (Ohio) High School, is,
arguably, one of the greatest defensive players in Boro history.
He currently ranks second on the all-time tackle list with 433 and
is the all-time leader in stops for loss with 42. Perkins, on his way
to being named All-American for the third consecutive season,
leads the team in tackles (92) and is tied for the team lead in
interceptions (6). Perkins is the son of Cheryl Willard.
Russell, like Perkins, will be remembered as one of the alltime greats. Tied for the lead in career interceptions (13), Russell
is currently tied for ninth in the nation in interceptions with six.
He is also among the conference leaders in kickoff returns, aver
aging 30.5 yards per return. He returned a kickoff 92 yards for a
touchdown against Slippery Rock and is a legitimate All-Ameri
can candidate. Russell is the son of Marcia Gibson.
Simmons, another Pittsburgh native, has been a mainstay on
the Scot defensive line for the past two seasons. His 40 tackles
rank eighth on the squad and he has also contributed three sacks.
He will finish his career with better than 140 stops. Simmons is
the son of Devas and Lillian Simmons.
Schrimper, a graduate of nearby Fort LeBoeuf High School,
had his career cut short by injury. He is helping out as a student
coach this season. Prior to this year, he provided depth along the
offensive front and saw considerable action in 1992. Schrimper is
the son of Clarence and Martha Schrimper.
Sparenberg, like Schrimper, had his career shortened by
injury. A pre-season favorite to win a starting job along the offen
sive line before his injury, the two-year letterman has continued
to contribute as a student coach. A native of Talbotville, Ontario,
Sparenberg is the son of Bill and Shirley Sparenberg.
Tedder is a four-year starter at fullback who has cleared the
way for one of the coimtry's most potent groimd attacks. A dev
astating runner and blocker, he has rushed for 527 yards and
eight touchdowns on 131 carries. His four touchdowns in 1993
have doubled his career total. He is the son of Yvonne and
William Tedder of Pittsburgh.
Tighe, who anchors the other tackle opposite Kegarise, is
also getting considerable attention from pro scouts, most of them
in Canada. A native of Toronto, Tighe has started on both sides
of the ball and has helped pave the way for 7,871 yards of total
offense in his two years as a starter. He is the son of Tony and
Margaret Tighe.
There is an old adage that reads "big things come in small
packages." That may indeed be true, unless you are talking about
the 18 seniors on the Edinboro University football team as every
thing about them has been large.
Since 1990, this outstanding group has posted 32 wins, just
10 losses and a tie, a winning percentage of better than 75 per
cent. They have made two NCAA Division II playoff appear
ances and are on the verge of making a third. Today, they make
their final appearance at Sox Harrison Stadium, where they have
led the Scots to a 15-4 record.
"Without question," admits Edinboro head coach Tom Hollman, "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 Dave Ashton, Russell Cray, Rob Glus, Rob Harmer,
Corey Hill, Gordie Hitchcock, Mario Houston, Mike Kegarise,
Gary Lhotsky, Jeff Macintosh, Scott Mikowicz, Jason Perkins,
Steve Russell, Devas Simmons, Eric Schrimper, Bill Sparenberg,
Tom Tedder and Tony Tighe.
Ashton, a graduate of Strong Vincent High School, is tied for
second in receptions in 1993 with 19 catches for 267 yards and
three touchdowns, including a pair of scores versus lUP. He is a
two-year starter that will finish his career with better than 30
receptions and 430 yards. He is the son of Barbara and Gary Cermak.
Cray, from Cleveland, Ohio, has been one of the Scots' alltime great defenders. He will finish among the school's leaders in
career sacks and tackles for loss. His 61 stops this year are good
for fourth on the team and his eight quarterback drops rank sec
ond. Cray's best performance of this season came against Califor
nia, a four-sack, 11-tackle effort. He is the son of Leona and
Henry Shelton.
Erie native Glus had his 1993 campaign cut short by a pre
season injury, but nonetheless has remained a vital member of
this year's squad due to his leadership abilities. Glus has proven
to be a stable backup at the wide receiver position and has been a
solid special teams contributor. Glus is the son of Karen and Bob
Glus.
Harmer, a team captain, is a two-year starter who has con
tributed 39 stops and six quarterback sacks this year. He has also
forced and recovered a fumble and currently has 87 total tackles
in his tenure. The son of Marlene and David Harmer, Rob is a
graduate of Meritvale High School in Chicago, Illinois.
Hill, from Miami's Palmetto High School, won the starting
tailback job in pre-season and is currently the team's second lead
ing rusher with 471 yards on 119 carries. In 1993, he strung
together three straight 100-yard games and has nearly 550 career
yards. He is the son of Mary and Frank Hill.
Hitchcock, a native of Andover, Ohio, today makes his 32nd
straight appearance at center. A two-year starter, he is a solid
pass protector and has led a Scot ground attack to nearly 4,500
yards over the past two seasons. He solidifies an offensive front
that has allowed just 12 sacks in the past two seasons. Hitchcock
is the son of Gordon and Linda Hitchcock.
Houston, from East Cleveland, Ohio, will finish his stay as
EUP's all-time leader in pass deflections and will rank among the
top 20 tacklers. This year, he is third in tackles with 57, has inter
cepted a pair of passes, blocked three kicks and has scored a
touchdown. The 1990 PSAC West rookie of the year has started
every game during his career, a string of 44 straight. He is the
son of Denise Houston.
Kegarise, out of Milan, Ohio, is currently being heavily

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 fame 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 System of Higher Education
/ 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
State System of Higher Educa
tion. Thus, the 13 former state
colleges joined with Indiana Uni
versity of Pennsylvania to
achieve university status. The
universities have a cumulative
history of 1,600 years.
/ There are 14 universities in the
State System of Higher Education
with three branch campuses and
the McKeever Environmental
Center.
/ The total student population
among the System universities is
99,850. While 86% of students are
from Pennsylvania, they repre
sent many other states and for
eign countries.
/ The total university campus has
over 4,000 acres in 19 Pennsylva
nia counties. Buildings for class
rooms,
residences,
administration and student sup
port number 719.
/ Collectively the 14 universities
offer 225 undergraduate and 98
graduate degree programs, led
by 5,500 full-time faculty mem
bers.

/ An average 75% of undergradu
ate students receive some form of
financial assistance to help meet
costs.
/ Several study abroad programs
are available in System universi
ties. System universities are part
of the Pennsylvania Council for
International Education,
/ All the universities support life
long learning programs through
out 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 5.4 million volumes
and 3.5 million periodicals,
microforms, and audio materials.
/ The universities in the State Sys
tem of Higher Education are fully
accredited by the Middle States
Association of Colleges and Sec
ondary Schools, the National
Council for Accreditation of
Teacher Education, and several
appropriate national professional
organizations.

Edinboro Welcomes Eastern Champion Millersville
Griffin (28,392, 5), Scott Mikowicz (19,312, 2), David Ashton (19,
267, 3) and Lateef Walters (13, 367, 4). Eight different players
have caught six-pointers this season.
Millersville features an awesome running attack spearhead
ed by junior Marc DeBellis. Rushing for a school-record 275
yards last week, he averages 139.6 yards per game with his 1,256
tallies and 10 scores. Scott Mack (504, 5 TDs) can also carry the
load. Quarterback Brad Fickes (59 of 136 for 678 yards, 6 TDs, 9
INTs) runs the show. Kevin Cannon is the 'Ville's top receiver,
with 26 grabs for 319 yards and a pair of scores. Fullback Dan
Esposito has caught 15 balls for 154 yards out of the backfield.

L______
The Fighting Scots welcome the Marauders of Millersville
University today. It is a must win for both clubs, if thoughts of a
NCAA Division II playoff bid are forthcoming November 14. The
contest is sponsored by Pizza Hut.
The Records
Edinboro enters the fray at 7-2 and 5-1 in the Pennsylvania
State Athletic Conference Western Division while Millersville
claimed the PSAC Eastern crown last week and stands at 8-1,6-0.
The Scots have sandwiched seven consecutive wins in
between a pair of losses (Ferris State 23-9, lUP 31-24) in '93. Boro
victories have come over Elizabeth City (34-27), Buffalo (28-17),
Clarion (28-0), Lock Haven (52-20), Shippensburg (34-17), Cali
fornia (32-7) and Slippery Rock (41-38).
Millersville started 2-1 with wins over Shepherd (38-14) and
American International (30-10) before falling to Shippensburg
(16-14). They enter Sox Harrison with six straight wins over
Bloomsburg (26-0), Kutztown (41-7), West Chester (14-10), East
Stroudsburg (20-7), Cheyney (51-6) and Mansfield (32-8).
The Defenses
The Scots face a stern test for the third consecutive week in
DeBellis. Two-time All-American linebacker Jason Perkins (105
tackles, 12 for loss, 6 interceptions) is turning in his best year
ever. He has recovered one fumble and has blocked three extra
points. Michael Edwards (104, 2 recoveries) is close behind
Perkins and has put up all-conference numbers in '93. Bryan
Lambert (43) and Rahshahn Alston (58) share time at the other
linebacker spot.
Up front, end Pat Schuster (68) continues to lead the team
with 11 sacks while tackles Russell Cray (73, 8 sacks) and Rob
Harmer (45, 6 sacks) and end Devas Simmons (47) will also get
the nod. Otha Davidson and Matt Gentile will also get time.
The secondary has been steady, led by All-American candi
dates Steve Russell and Mario Houston. Russell is tied with
Perkins with six interceptions and has also been in on 47 stops.
Houston has 60 tackles and is tied for the team lead with eight
deflections. His 46 career deflections ties for number one on the
all-time list. Joining the duo will be free safety Rick Walker (43)
and cornerback Marty Williams (49,8 deflections).
All-PSAC East choice Scott Martin (DT) leads the Marauder
charge. His 16 sacks lead the squad to go along with his 67 stops.
End Jes Kaercher (68) is nearby with a dozen sacks. Rick Boyer is
the top linebacker with 79 tackles, while secondary mates Derric
Currie (38,4 INTs, 7 deflections), Chris Lupp (29, 3 INTs) and Joe
Fimple (67,10 deflections) anchor the final line of defense.
The Series
The Boro has won the last two games, but Marauders hold a
3-2 edge in a series that dates back to 1977. Edinboro's victory
margin has been decisive in the past two contests, 28-0 in 1980
and 36-12 last year in Millersville.
The Coaches
Matching wits with lUP's Frank Cignetti last week, Edin
boro's Tom Hollman gets another stiff challenge from
Millersville's Dr. Gene Carpenter.
Hollman, in his sixth season with the Scots, has posted 44
wins against just 18 losses and a tie (.703%) including a 27-7-2
(.778) standard in the rugged PSAC Western Division. Hollman
was the 1989 PSAC and East Region coach of the year and has
led the Scots to the NCAA playoffs three times.
Carpenter, a veteran of 25 years in the coaching ranks, boasts
an outstanding 167-70-5 (.700) mark. Twenty-four of those years
have been directing the Marauders (159-69-5, .696%). The win
over Mansfield last week was Carpenter's 100th in PSAC play
Special Teams/Kicking Game/Turnover Ratio
The Boro continues to look to All-American punter Gary
Lhotsky (39.7 YPP) and placeman Scott Rupert (32-34 PAT, 4-10
FG) to handle the kicking duties. The Marauders count on punter
Brandon Lynch (36.2) and All-PSAC East choice Brad Heim (2730 PAT, 11-22 FG) to do the placekicking.
Edinboro's Steve Russell is turning out to be one of the coun
try's top kickoff return specialists (30.5 YPR) while the 'Ville
looks to Kevin Cannon who is also strong averaging 29.8 per try.
The Scots look to Marcus Griffin (6.4) to return punts while Can
non has returned one for a score and nets 11.5 per return.
The turnover margin is close with the Scots holding a slight
edge. Edinboro stands at +10 (31 takeaways, 21 turnovers) while
Millersville counters with a +8 (28,20).

Quarterback Jody Dickerson will get his 32nd straight start
imder center for the Scots. One of the PSAC's best, he has con
nected on 102 of 211 passes (48%) for 1,682 yards and carries a
139.0 efficiency rating. Dickerson's 20 touchdown passes is the
second most for a single season in Edinboro history. He has
tossed just eight interceptions.
The ground attack is solidified by tailback Larry Jackson
(124.4 yards per game). He has rushed for 100+ yards in five con
secutive starts and totals 995 markers and six scores on the year.
With five yards today, Jackson will become the first Edinboro
runner ever to eclipse the 1,000 yard barrier in consecutive sea
sons (1,218 in '92). Fullback Tom Tedder (27, 89, 4 TDs) leads the
way.

Now in his fourteenth year as
president of Edinboro University of
Pennsylvania, Foster F. 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 universities. 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 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 Coimcil 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 fimd 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.
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.

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 com
piled 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 Dis
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 imdergraduate, 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.
As a resident of Edinboro,
McDonald has a record of extensive
community involvement. He was Lit
tle 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.

"It" in this case means success. Hav
ing made the NCAA II playoffs three of
the past five years under 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, under
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
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 1

Head Coach Tom Hollman
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.
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.

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
14
USUALLY SEEN BEFORE OR AFTER FIGHTING SCOTS FOOTBALL GAMES!
with 13 career interceptions and
earned All-American and All-District
honors during the 1966 and 1967 sea
sons. Hollman also lettered in base
ball for three years during his stay at
Ohio Northern.
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 his threeyear stay.
Hollman then moved 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, imbeaten 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 history (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 commimity 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, Tim and Denise.

Eighteen Boro Seniors to Play Last Home Game
scouted by the pros. This afternoon marks his 44th consecutive
start. During that span, Kegarise has blocked for two Harlon Hill
finalists and three All-American rurming backs, while helping
Edinboro amass nearly 17,000 yards of total offense. He is the son
of Steve and Carol Kegarise.
Lhotsky has led the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference
in punting in each of the last two seasons. His 39.7 yards-perpunt average this year once again tops the conference and ranks
among the top 15 nationally. The 1992 PSAC West first team
selection and honorable mention All-American is the son of Mar
garet and Joseph Lhotsky.
Macintosh has seen limited action in a Scot imiform, but has
contributed with solid special teams play. Last year, he registered
his only career catch and continues to provide a reliable backup
at the wide receiver spot. Macintosh is the son of Carol and Bill
Soule.
Mikowicz, the son of Mike and Nancy Mikowicz, has
stepped into the tight end spot and hauled in 18 passes for 306
yards and a pair of touchdowns. Equally successful off the field,
Mikowicz is an NCAA Post Graduate Scholarship nominee, as
well as a nominee for the GTE Academic All-America team with
his 3.5+ grade point average.
Perkins, a graduate of Geneva (Ohio) High School, is,
arguably, one of the greatest defensive players in Boro history.
He currently ranks second on the all-time tackle list with 433 and
is the all-time leader in stops for loss with 42. Perkins, on his way
to being named All-American for the third consecutive season,
leads the team in tackles (92) and is tied for the team lead in
interceptions (6). Perkins is the son of Cheryl Willard.
Russell, like Perkins, will be remembered as one of the alltime greats. Tied for the lead in career interceptions (13), Russell
is currently tied for ninth in the nation in interceptions with six.
He is also among the conference leaders in kickoff returns, aver
aging 30.5 yards per return. He returned a kickoff 92 yards for a
touchdown against Slippery Rock and is a legitimate All-Ameri
can candidate. Russell is the son of Marcia Gibson.
Simmons, another Pittsburgh native, has been a mainstay on
the Scot defensive line for the past two seasons. His 40 tackles
rank eighth on the squad and he has also contributed three sacks.
He will finish his career with better than 140 stops. Simmons is
the son of Devas and Lillian Simmons.
Schrimper, a graduate of nearby Fort LeBoeuf High School,
had his career cut short by injury. He is helping out as a student
coach this season. Prior to this year, he provided depth along the
offensive front and saw considerable action in 1992. Schrimper is
the son of Clarence and Martha Schrimper.
Sparenberg, like Schrimper, had his career shortened by
injury. A pre-season favorite to win a starting job along the offen
sive line before his injury, the two-year letterman has continued
to contribute as a student coach. A native of Talbotville, Ontario,
Sparenberg is the son of Bill and Shirley Sparenberg.
Tedder is a four-year starter at fullback who has cleared the
way for one of the coimtry's most potent groimd attacks. A dev
astating runner and blocker, he has rushed for 527 yards and
eight touchdowns on 131 carries. His four touchdowns in 1993
have doubled his career total. He is the son of Yvonne and
William Tedder of Pittsburgh.
Tighe, who anchors the other tackle opposite Kegarise, is
also getting considerable attention from pro scouts, most of them
in Canada. A native of Toronto, Tighe has started on both sides
of the ball and has helped pave the way for 7,871 yards of total
offense in his two years as a starter. He is the son of Tony and
Margaret Tighe.
There is an old adage that reads "big things come in small
packages." That may indeed be true, unless you are talking about
the 18 seniors on the Edinboro University football team as every
thing about them has been large.
Since 1990, this outstanding group has posted 32 wins, just
10 losses and a tie, a winning percentage of better than 75 per
cent. They have made two NCAA Division II playoff appear
ances and are on the verge of making a third. Today, they make
their final appearance at Sox Harrison Stadium, where they have
led the Scots to a 15-4 record.
"Without question," admits Edinboro head coach Tom Hollman, "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 Dave Ashton, Russell Cray, Rob Glus, Rob Harmer,
Corey Hill, Gordie Hitchcock, Mario Houston, Mike Kegarise,
Gary Lhotsky, Jeff Macintosh, Scott Mikowicz, Jason Perkins,
Steve Russell, Devas Simmons, Eric Schrimper, Bill Sparenberg,
Tom Tedder and Tony Tighe.
Ashton, a graduate of Strong Vincent High School, is tied for
second in receptions in 1993 with 19 catches for 267 yards and
three touchdowns, including a pair of scores versus lUP. He is a
two-year starter that will finish his career with better than 30
receptions and 430 yards. He is the son of Barbara and Gary Cermak.
Cray, from Cleveland, Ohio, has been one of the Scots' alltime great defenders. He will finish among the school's leaders in
career sacks and tackles for loss. His 61 stops this year are good
for fourth on the team and his eight quarterback drops rank sec
ond. Cray's best performance of this season came against Califor
nia, a four-sack, 11-tackle effort. He is the son of Leona and
Henry Shelton.
Erie native Glus had his 1993 campaign cut short by a pre
season injury, but nonetheless has remained a vital member of
this year's squad due to his leadership abilities. Glus has proven
to be a stable backup at the wide receiver position and has been a
solid special teams contributor. Glus is the son of Karen and Bob
Glus.
Harmer, a team captain, is a two-year starter who has con
tributed 39 stops and six quarterback sacks this year. He has also
forced and recovered a fumble and currently has 87 total tackles
in his tenure. The son of Marlene and David Harmer, Rob is a
graduate of Meritvale High School in Chicago, Illinois.
Hill, from Miami's Palmetto High School, won the starting
tailback job in pre-season and is currently the team's second lead
ing rusher with 471 yards on 119 carries. In 1993, he strung
together three straight 100-yard games and has nearly 550 career
yards. He is the son of Mary and Frank Hill.
Hitchcock, a native of Andover, Ohio, today makes his 32nd
straight appearance at center. A two-year starter, he is a solid
pass protector and has led a Scot ground attack to nearly 4,500
yards over the past two seasons. He solidifies an offensive front
that has allowed just 12 sacks in the past two seasons. Hitchcock
is the son of Gordon and Linda Hitchcock.
Houston, from East Cleveland, Ohio, will finish his stay as
EUP's all-time leader in pass deflections and will rank among the
top 20 tacklers. This year, he is third in tackles with 57, has inter
cepted a pair of passes, blocked three kicks and has scored a
touchdown. The 1990 PSAC West rookie of the year has started
every game during his career, a string of 44 straight. He is the
son of Denise Houston.
Kegarise, out of Milan, Ohio, is currently being heavily

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 fame 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

The State System of Higher Education
/ The state universities spent the

ing teachers for Pennsylvania's
schools. The Normal School Act
of 1857 established regional
teacher training institutions

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
State System of Higher Educa

colleges joined with Indiana Uni
versity of Pennsylvania to
achieve university status. The
universities have a cumulative
history of 1,600 years.

State System of Higher Education

offer 225 undergraduate and 98
graduate degree programs, led
by 5,500 full-time faculty mem
bers.
