Scots Host Bald Eagles in Homecoming Matchup
The highly explosive Bald Eagle attack is averaging close to
400 yards per contest and is led by the conference's leader in total
offense (287.8 YPG), quarterback Bob McLaughlin. McLaughlin,
the 1992 PSAC West Rookie of the Year, enters today's game with
1,426 yards passing, hitting on 129 of 222 (.581) attempts. He has
thrown for seven touchdowns and seven interceptions.
McLaughlin is, however, coming off one of his toughest outings
of the year, hitting on 25 of 47 passes against lUP for 202 yards
and an interception.
Top targets include Bryan McGinty (30 catches, 296 yards, 1
TD), Jon Spinosa (28, 311, 2 TDs), Erik Steinbacher (26, 318, 2
TDs) and Afiba Faimot (13, 72). Faimot is also the Eagles' top
ground gainer (56 carries, 256 yards, 1 TD).

The Game
Edinboro, fresh off a dominating 28-0 win at Clarion, returns
after a three game road swing to battle the Lock Haven Bald
Eagles in a Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference Western Divi­
sion clash.

The Records
The Boro has won three straight since an opening day loss to
Ferris State, 23-9, piling up road victories over Elizabeth City (3427), Buffalo (28-1/0
the conference opener at Clarion to stand
at 3-1. The Fighting Scots will be looking for their first home win
of the season today.
Lock Haven, 1-4, dropped its fourth game last weekend to
#7 lUP, 52-14. The Bald Eagles opened with three straight losses,
two to Division I-AA opponents James Madison (55-3) and Ten­
nessee Tech (45-14), and one to PSAC East foe Bloomsburg (3532). The Haven's one win is a 35-33 triumph over Mansfield.

The Defenses
Edinboro's defense was dominant against the Golden
Eagles, forcing five turnovers and limiting Clarion's no-huddle
offense to 221 total yards, just 64 rushing.
Two-time All-American linebacker Jason Perkins continues
to lead the way for the Fighting Scots, posting 47 total stops. He
has consistently provided the big play, as seven of his 35 solos
have been for loss. Perkins also has two interceptions, one sack, a
forced fumble, a fumble recovery and a blocked extra point.
Linebacker Michael Edwards is right behind Perkins on the tack­
le charts (41). Freshman Rahshahn Alston (28) rounds out the
linebacking corp.
Up front, tackle Rob Harmer (26, 4 for loss, 5 sacks) is com­
ing off the best performance of his career. He got to Clarion quar­
terback Craig Ray three times and recorded one other tackle for
loss among his six overall stops. He is joined on the inside by
preseason All-American tackle Russell Cray (28, 4 for loss, 2
sacks, 1 fumble recovery) and on the outside by ends Pat Schus­
ter (25,5 sacks) and Devas Simmons (21,1 sack).
The Scot secondary continues to make the big play, as Edin­
boro ranks second in the conference in interceptions with 10 (lUP
has 11). Corners will be Marty Williams (23, 2 interceptions) and
David Harris (8, 2 INTs) while safeties Steve Russell (14, 2 INTs)
and Mario Houston (28,1INT, 3 blocked PATs) man the last line
of defense.
Lock Haven has yielded an average 516.2 yards and 44.0
points per game this season. Safeties Julius Scott and Mark Har­
rington lead the team in tackles and interceptions. Scott checks in
with 37 total stops and one pick, while Harrington counters with
34 jolts and three thefts. Outside linebackers Matt Heiser (28, 2
for loss) and John Kearns (27, 2 for loss) as well as comer Rich
Lawrence (26, team high 4 pass break ups) and inside backer
Willie Wimbush (25) are also solid.

The Series
What was once a very tight series has been broken open by
Edinboro, as the Scots have won the last 11 games between these
two schools and 12 of the last 15, to take a 21-13-1 series lead.
The last Lock Haven win came in 1981.
Last year, the Fighting Scots took a 20-0 halftime lead before
coasting to a 38-10 win.

The Coaches
With the win last week at Clarion, Fighting Scot head coach
Tom Hollman moved into second place on the all-time victory
list at Edinboro with 40. Now in his sixth season, his 40-17-2
(.695) record is the best all-time winning percentage in school
history. Overall, Hollman's slate of 64-28-3 (.689) includes a
record of 24-11-1 in four seasons at Wooster College (Ohio). The
Bald Eagles are led by fourth-year mentor Dennis Therrell. Therrell has a career record of 8-29-1 (.250), all with Lock Haven.

The Offenses

of our performance is how we perform for you.

PNCBANK
Where Performance Counts

The Scots are led by the PSAC's second-rated passer, Jody
Dickerson, who will be making his 27th consecutive start today.
Dickerson is coming off the best performance of his career, as the
junior completed 16 of 26 passes for 269 yards and a pair of
scores in the romp over Clarion. On the year, he has completed
44 of 84 passes for 737 yards, seven touchdowns and four inter­
ceptions. His quarterback efficiency rating of 144.1 is the highest
of his career and ranks among the national leaders.
Dickerson's main targets include split ends Marcus Griffin
(11 receptions, 184 yards, 2 touchdowns) and Terry Roberts (3,
141, 2 TDs), flanker David Ashton (11, 172, 1 TD) and tight end
Scott Mikowicz (10,165, ITD).
The Boro ground attack is keyed by tailback tandem Corey
Hill (88 attempts, 342 yards, 1 TD) and Larry Jackson (32, 143,1
TD). Hill ranks ninth among the conference rushing leaders,
averaging 80.8 YPG. Jackson, meanwhile, rushed for 70 yards
and a score on just 11 carries in the win over Clarion, finally
showing the form that made him the 1992 PSAC West Player of
the Year. Fullback Tom Tedder (15, 68, ITD) will also see time.
Up front, the Scots are anchored by All-American tackle
Mike Kegarise, tackle Tony Tighe, center Gordie Hitchcock, and
guards Det Betti, Otha Davidson and Chadd Wallick.

Special Teams/Kicking Game
All-American punter Gary Lhotsky (40.1 YPP, 18 kicks) con­
tinues to produce for the Fighting Scots, along with place-kicker
Scott Rupert (13-13 PAT, 2-6 FG). Lock Haven counters with
Charles Traber, who handles both the punting (31.6 YPP) and
kicking (7-11 PAT, 1-4 FG) chores.
The Boro's Larry Jackson (4, 24.2 YPR) will be featured on
kickoff returns, while the Haven turns to Keith McLaughlin (19,
21.2 YPR, 1 TD) and Tony Harrison (10, 26.8 YPR). Punts will be
handled by Marcus Griffin (9.3 YPR) and Harrison (3.8 YPR),
respectively.

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
commimity, 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 imiversities 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 Ax. Cean
College in New Jersey and a member
of the graduate faculty at that institu­
tion; and from 1965 to 1969, he was
assistant superintendent of the Nep­
tune Township (New Jersey) Public
Schools.
Recognized for his extensive
experience in the field of education
management. President Diebold's
scholarly achievements in the disci­
pline of applied ethics in higher edu­
cation deserve special mention. The
model statement he authored for the
American Association of State Col­
leges and Universities, "Ethical Prac­
tices for College Presidents," was
unanimously adopted by that profes­
sional organization and published as
policy for the chief executives of its
nearly 400 member institutions
nationwide. It is the first formally
adopted ethical practices and policy
statement for higher education presi­
dents.
For his leadership on an interna­
tional scale and for his many contri­
butions to the advancement of higher
education and enrichment of an
7

emerging culture in Pakistan, Presi­
dent Diebold was decorated with
prestigious gold medals from three
Pakistani imiversities. The awards for
educational eminence were presented
during visits to the Edinboro campus
by official Pakistani delegations.
President Diebold was also hon­
ored by the Government of Pakistan
with the awarding of the degree of
Doctor of Laws (honoris causa), pre­
sented at the Government House in
the City of Karachi. The ceremony
was attended by the presidents of the
several Pakistani universities holding
linkage agreements with Edinboro
University, as well as many highranking officials of the Government
of Pakistan and U.S. diplomatic offi­
cials.
A recently bestowed honor was
President Diebold's appointment to
the National Committee on U.S.China Relations, the leading national,
non-partisan, public affairs organiza­
tion devoted to building constructive
and durable relationships between
the two countries. The appointment
recognized his insight into the Chi­
nese people and his experience with
the academic linkage agreement he
established with Zibo College in Chi­
na's Shandong Province. Students
and scholars have been at Edinboro
University under terms of the formal
linkage agreement since the 1986-87
academic year.
A staunch advocate of a
statewide system of public universi­
ties in Pennsylvania, President
Diebold supported the enabling legis­
lation for the State System of Higher
Education (Act 188 of 1982) and saw
the State System come to existence in
1983 as a member of the transition
team. He currently serves on the Sys­
tem's Executive Council of Presidents
and on the boards of the Pennsylva­
nia Academy for the Profession of
Teaching, the Pennsylvania State Ath­
letic Conference, and the Dixon Uni­
versity Center at Harrisburg.

Athletic Director James K. McDonald
Edinboro University's athletic
program was placed imder the talent­
ed and aggressive leadership of Jim
McDonald in July of 1981. Increased
emphasis on fund raising to provide
a sound scholarship foundation has
become his top priority while numer­
ous changes and innovations have
also keyed the Scots' athletic program
under 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.

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 coimter 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
groxmd 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
Lmbles) 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.

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

with 13 career interceptions and
earned All-American and AU-District
honors during the 1966 and 1967 sea­
sons. Hollman also lettered in base­
ball for three years during his stay at
Ohio Northern.
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
GreenviUe 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, unbeaten at 9-0-1.
In 1976, Hollman moved on to
the collegiate ranks where he was the
defensive coordinator for his alma
mater at Ohio Northern University.
The following year, Hollman
accepted the head coach position at
Wooster CoHege (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 community to be sup­
portive and the administration is giv­
ing me every opportunity to be
successful here at Edinboro," he con­
cluded.
Tom resides in Edinboro with his
wife, Kandi, and four children, Mari,
Jon, Tim and Denise.

Scott Browning - Secondary
1
Moving to the defensive side of the
ball, from the offensive backfield, Scott
brings a wealth of coaching experience in
his eighth year at the 'Boro. Under his
guidance the Scot defense has intercepted
78 passes the past five seasons. He has
guided the fortunes of All-Americans
Michael Willis, Wade Smith, Georj Lewis,
and Mike Barnes, and PSAC Rookie of
the Year Mario Houston. Offensively, he
coached former greats Floyd Faulkner
and Ross Rankin.
Scott came to Edinboro from Ohio
State University, where he coached
receivers and running backs. Prior to his
start at OSU, Browning coached at Wor­
thington and Dayton-Fairview high
schools in Ohio, from 1979-81. Then, as a

graduate assistant, he coached the defen­
sive secondary at New Mexico State in
1982.
In 1983, he mentored the receivers at
Idaho State University which advanced to
the Division I-AA playoffs.
Browning earned a master's degree
in education administration from New
Mexico State in 1983, and a BS in educa­
tion from Ohio State in 1981. Earlier,
before transferring to OSU, Scott attended
Capital University where he played foot­
ball for one season. Browning was a fouryear letterman in four sports at
Loudenville High School (OH) prior to
his collegiate days. Scott is married to the
former Lynn Hook and resides in Edin­

son as a full-time coach with his responsi­
bilities concerning the nmning backs. He
is also the head women's softball coach
for the Scots and led the squad to the
PSAC playoffs in 1990.
Gierlak came to the 'Boro from Thiel
College (Pa.) where he coached the defen­
sive secondary for the 1984 season. Dan, a
starter and three-year letterwinner for the
Plaid in the secondary, moved on to the
semi-pro ranks with the Chicago Cow­
boys. During his short stint with the
Cowboys, Gierlak's squad gained nation­
al championship honors in 1984 and run­

ner up nationally in the 1985 season. Gier­
lak brings both playing and coaching
experience to the staff, giving the Scot
players an added plus on the offensive
side of the ball. As backfield coach, he has
guided former Harlon Hill finalist Elbert
Cole and Boro All-Americans Lester Frye
and Larry Jackson.
Originally from Buffalo, New York,
Dan graduated from Edinboro with a
degree in health and physical education.
He and his wife, the former Amy Adams
and two-year-old daughter, Alexandria
Alicia, reside in Edinboro.

Mark Niswonger - Defensive Coordinator/Linebackers
Mark Niswonger, a veteran of the
coaching ranks for 20 years, begins his
sixth year with the Plaid as defensive
coordinator and linebacker coach. Former
understudy of head coach Tom Hollman
at Greenville High School, Mark brings
extensive experience both on and off the
field to the Scot coaching staff. He has
helped mold the Scot defense into one of
the most respected squads in the country
over the past five years.
His coaching stint began back while
attending Findlay when he was the head
scout for Arlington High School. His first
job after college was as defensive coordi­
nator for Bryan High School (OH) where
the team earned a 9-1 record. The next
two seasons, Niswonger was the defen­
sive coordinator at West Carrollton High
School (OH) where his squad posted an
impressive 17-1-2 slate.

After West Carrollton, he then
returned to graduate school at Ball State
University where he helped coach the
tight ends and offensive linemen.
From 1981-84, Niswonger was the
head coach at Franklin City schools and
was named "coach of the year" in 1982
when his squad won its first league
championship in 18 years. He then
moved on to the collegiate ranks in 1984
at Manchester College as defensive coor­
dinator and then back to his alma mater
from 85-87 as their secondary coach.
Niswonger's education includes an
undergraduate degree in physical educa­
tion and political science from Findlay
and a MA in physical education from Ball
State. Mark and his wife Patty and twoyear-old daughter, Megan Marie, and
eight-month-old son, Joushua Jay, reside
in Edinboro.

Boro All-American Dares to Dream
Edinboro University offensive tackle Mike Kegarise has a
passion for collecting football cards. He's proud of the fact that
numbered in his collection are rookie cards of National Football
League Hall of Earners Otto Graham, Walter Payton, and Terry
Bradshaw. Very soon, however, he may land the most valuable ..
. his own.
Kegarise, a mammoth 6-6, 310-pound senior from Milan,
Ohio, is the best pro prospect the Scots have had since Ernest
Priester in 1990, and may be the best offensive line prospect that
Edinboro has ever produced.
"Right now," admits Fighting Scots offensive line coach and
NFL liaison Ed Stults, "with the draft having only eight rounds,
he's probably a legitimate free agent. If he gets drafted, that's
icing on the cake. He's a tough kid that will compete and he's
going to play hard. If he goes to (training) camp with somebody,
he won't embarrass himself."
Professional scouts share Stults' enthusiasm for Kegarise.
Already, representatives from several NFL teams, including the
Kansas City Chiefs, the Los Angeles Raiders, the New England
Patriots and the Buffalo Bills, have been to Edinboro to watch
film and put Kegarise through a series of workouts. He has also
been visited by both NFL scouting combines.
What the pros have found is what Scot fans have known
since Kegarise stepped into the Boro lineup four seasons ago as a
redshirt freshman. They are drawn by his physical, dominating
style of play, his quickness and his extreme competitiveness. To
say nothing of his durability, as this afternoon's game marks his
39th consecutive start on the offensive front.

All-American Mike Kegarise

It is no coincidence that in Kegarise's four years as a starter,
the Fighting Scots have posted an overall record of 27-10-1 (.716),
have amassed more than 213 yards on the ground per game,
have scored nearly 1,000 points and have compiled better than
13,000 yards of total offense. It is also no fluke that Edinboro has
had one PSAC West Player of the Year, a PSAC West Rookie of
the Year and a Harlon Hill trophy finalist during Kegarise's stint
anchoring the offensive line. Yet, Kegarise has received virtually
no recognition. Until now.

keep my fitness up. I don't mind staying after practice to work
on some drills because I know that's what it takes to continue to
get better."
Kegarise is already pretty good - good enough to be consid­
ered among the elite linemen in the Pennsylvania State Athletic
Conference and the country. And if he continues to improve, he
might not only have a shot at getting invited to a professional
training camp, but also a very real chance at landing a spot on a
pro roster.

"The lack of publicity really doesn't bother me," admits the
elementary and special education major. "I realize that it's the
nature of the position. Besides, I'm not the type of person who
gets cocky or mean or selfish. When (the offensive line) sees
Larry (Jackson) or Corey (Hill) break a long run, it makes us feel
good because we know that they wouldn't be able to do it if we
weren't doing our job."

Marty Williams

"I'm not going to say he's going to make an NFL roster," says
Stults. "But, he's probably going to get a chance to do it. It just
depends on the team that takes him (and) their needs. But I feel
he's going to get a chance with somebody and that's what you
need - a chance. Once you get there, you've got to prove that
you're good enough to be there. So he'll get a chance, he's just got
to make the most of it."

"Knowing that Mike and the rest of the guys are up front,"
admits quarterback Jody Dickerson, who has been sacked a total
of six times over the past two seasons, "helps me relax and play
up to my abilities. I never have to worry about having guys in
uiy face or anything like that because Keg and the rest of the
8uys simply do not allow it."

Should he succeed in making an NFL squad, he will not
only fulfill a childhood dream, but he will also have the opportu­
nity to add to his football card collection.
"I've thought about having my own card many times," he
confesses. "And I always joke that I'd charge a dollar to sign it.
That way. I'd know that it was worth at least a dollar."

Another thing that Kegarise does not and will not allow is
complacency.
It really takes a lot of work to be a good football player," he
worked my tail off to get to where I am now. But, at
6 same time, I realize that there is still a long way to go. I work
®ut every day and lift three times a week during the season to

Funny what a dollar can buy these days.

Under the riirection 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 urviversities 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.

/

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 imiversities 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.

/

System graduates living in the
Commonwealth number over
271,000.

y 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.
