Pete Adrian is entring his fourth season in charge of the
Bloomsburg program and has continued to establish the Huskies as one
of the teams to beat in the Pennsylvania Conference Eastern Division.
In his initial three years, Adrian's clubs have posted marks of 7-2-1, 83 and 7-4 to give the coach an overall record of 22-9-1. Last season's 74 record gave the Huskies their fifth-straight winning season. The 1987
season's 8-3 finish marked only the fifth time a Bloomsburg squad has
won as many games in a season. The other years were 1948 (9-0), 1949
(8-1), 1951 (8-0), and 1985 (12-1). The latter year, the Huskies won the
conference championship and reached the national semifinals before suffering their only loss
of the season. Adrian is the 15th head football coach since Bloomsburg became a four-year
public institution in 1927.
Bloomsburg has appeared in the NCAA Division II national rankings in each of
Adrian's three seasons and was ranked as high as 13th in the 1988 campaign. In addition, the
Huskies have shown up among conference and national statistical leaders, both individually
and as a team, on several occasions. During his short tenure, 23 players have earned AllPennsylvania Conference Eastern Division honors, and four performers have earned spots on
the All-East team. His teams have been among the passing and total offense leaders in the
conference and finished sixth in total defense a year ago.
The head coaching position at Bloomsburg is a first for the 39-year old native of
Brilliant, Ohio, as he came to the school after spending the previous 10 seasons as defensive
coordinator at the University of Rhode Island. Working under head coach Bob Griffin, he
helped lead the Rams to consecutive 10-3 records in 1984 and 1985 and appearances in the
NCAA Division I-AA national playoffs. Rhode Island also captured three Yankee Conference
titles winning crowns in 1981, 1984, and 1985. During his 10 seasons at the New England
school, the teams compiled an overall mark of 58-51-1 and was awarded the Lambert/
Meadowlands Cup in both 1984 and 1985, symbolizing football supremacy among eastern
Division I-AA clubs.
Prior to returning to Rhode Island, where he served as an assistant coach during the
1970 and 1971 seasons, Adrian was the defensive line coach under Griffin at Idaho State
University in Pocatello, Idaho, from 1972 to 1975. He was also the school's head golf coach.
In addition to his football duties, Adrian has
also been an instructor in the physical education
departments at Idaho State and Rhode Island. He holds
memberships in the American Football Coaches
Association (AFCA), Fellowship of Christian Athletes,
and the Masonic Lodge.
Before his first stint at Rhode Island, he was the
freshman coach at West Virginia University following
his graduation from that school in 1968. While at West
Virginia, he played linebacker for the Mountaineers and
served as the freshman team captain in his first year.
Adrian earned his Bachelor of Science degree in
Physical Education at West Virginia in 1970 and his
master's degree from Rhode Island in 1971.
In high school, he was a five-sport letterwinner
at Brilliant High School in baseball, basketball,
football, golf, and track and field.

If the Huskies expect to be successful in the upcoming campaign third-year head coach
Pete Adrian thinks his club must "grow up in a hurry." Only nine starters return from last
year's club, which finished with a 7-4 record, representing the school's fourth-consecutive
winning season. Only two of those performers are on the defensive side of the ball. The club
must also replace the entire offensive backfield as well as the defensive front line and
linebacking corps.
Bloomsburg has built a 22-9-1 mark under Adrian in his three seasons in charge of the
program and has appeared in the national rankings in each of those seasons, despite facing
tough schedules and the loss of some key performers to graduation and injury. Last year the
offense had to start fresh following the graduation of a pair of performers who had accounted
for most of the team's offensive output in 1987. Then in game five the Huskies' top rusher
and scorer, Leonard Bluitt, was lost for the season with a leg injury. Bluitt's absence was felt
late in the campaign when the offense struggled during three straight losses but the squad still
posted another fine season.
This season the schedule could present an even bigger obstacle as the Huskies open at
James Madison, a 1987 NCAA Division I-AA national tournament participant, and also face
four teams which appeared in the Division II ratings during the year. The club has finished
third in the Pennsylvania Conference Eastern Division in each of the last three seasons and
will again face the six PC East opponents throughout the season.
A veteran offensive line is going to be an integral part of Adrian's "growing up" theory in
the early part of the season. The group, anchored by three-time all-conference center John
Fulmer, will have to provide solid protection for the Huskies' new quarterback and open holes
for a corps of inexperienced runners. Fulmer will be in the middle again in his final season
and has some talented performers on either side. A pair of third-year starters will man the
guard positions as Brian Crouthamel makes the move inside from one of the tackle spots to
join another junior, Rob Grow, flanking Fulmer. Crouthamel's move will allow for another
third-year starter, senior Dave Pysher, to slide from guard to tackle and he should be joined by
freshman Bryan Mellinger at the other tackle slot. Mellinger, who is probably the fastest
lineman, utilized his redshirt option last season, using the time to learn the Huskies' system
and can fill in at center, if necessary.
One of the most interesting battles in the preseason drills could be for the vacant quarter
back role. Sophomore Dave Robson saw very limited action last year, although he did start
two games in the middle of the campaign which the Huskies eventually won. He rushed 26
times and threw 20 passes in predominantly a reserve role and gained more confidence in the
club's offensive schemes during the spring drills. Newcomer Alan Eck, another sophomore,
looked good in the spring workouts and turned in a fine performance in the Maroon and Gold
game completing 11 of 15 passes for 182 yards and a touchdown. Eck sat out last season after
transferring but will be given a good look by the staff for the starting job.
Four runningbacks who have very limited experience in the backfield should see a lot of
time this season. Junior John Cannon and sophomore Jerry Marks appear to have the inside
track to the starting jobs, however, junior Scott Walton and sophomore Mike Sohn could step
in at any time and will see plenty of action. Cannon's speed and strength give the Huskies a
double threat when he is in the game and he will most likely do the bulk of the ball carrying.
He rushed just nine times a year ago and also returned five kickoffs. Marks was also on the
kick return unit handling 11 kickoffs and carrying the ball seven times gaining limited
backfield exposure. Wal ton was the team's leading kick returner last season returning 15 kicks
for 266 yards, an average of 17.7 yards per return. He will remain in that capacity this season
in addition to seeing a lot of time in the backfield. Sohn returns after sitting out last year and
will also see considerable action. He led the team in kickoff returns in 1987 but has limited
experience in the backfield carrying only eight times two years ago.
10

Several quality receivers will give the Huskies' quarterbacks many options in the
passing attack. Tight end Paul Lonergan led the club in receiving last year with 40 catches for
508 yards and will return at that spot. In addition, wide receiver Jeff Sparks, who has 38
catches for 614 yards and nine touchdowns over the past two seasons, is back on the outside
where he earned all-conference honors a year ago. Joining the senior duo will be junior Stef
Kem who will be in the other wide receiver position. Kem had seven receptions for 187 yards
and a touchdown last season to top the club in yards per catch at 28.1.
Defensively, a mainly veteran secondary will have to make its presence known early
in the season to offset the inexperience that will prevail in front of it as five of seven performers up front will be starting for the first time. The return of two-time all-conference safety
Derrick Hill, who missed last season, will bolster the backfield, giving the club three players
with vast experience. Hill led the team in interceptions in 1986 and 1987 and was the squad's
top punt returner in both seasons. He will be the Huskies' starting strong safety.
Junior Trent Dennis will man the free safety position where he has seen a lot of
action in each of his first two seasons. He tied for the team lead in interceptions last season
and, along with Hill, gives the Huskies one of the top safety combinations in the conference.
He was also the team's top punt return man last season. Third-year starter Tom Heavey was
one of the top defensive performers last season and will be back at one of the cornerback slots.
He was very active and finished third on the team in total defensive points. The other comer
position could be filled by junior Jerome Wilson, who earned the spot based on his performance during the spring. Another junior, Jeff Naugle, will see plenty of action as he can play
any of the backfield spots and will definitely be on the field in passing situations. Naugle will
also be the Huskies' punter.
A year ago John Hellgren made the move from linebacker to defensive end and
enjoyed a fine season finishing second on the team in sacks of the opposing quarterbacks. The
senior is one of only two performers returning at any one of the front line or linebacking
positions and he will have to have a good year for the Huskies' defense to be successful.
Sophomore Jacob Robinson looks like the starter on the other side following the spring drills,
however, junior Jeff Haflett will see a lot of time after playing mostly on the special teams'
unit during the last two years.
In the middle, senior Brian Angney was a part-time starter last season after missing
the entire 1987 campaign with an injury. He played in all 11 games a year ago and will enter
the season as the team's top linebacker. Two sophomores with limited experience should both
see time beside Angney. E. J. Weston, who sat out last season, and Seth Kizel, who was a
solid special teams' player and reserve defensive end, both have the skills and knowledge to
tum in good seasons but must mature rapidly to give the club the stability it needs in the center
of the defense.
Five players could all see ample time in the line for the defensive squad. Good size
and quickness give the group the right tools to make an impact, however, as is the case with
most of the defense, this unit must learn fast. Sophomore Mike Gonzales and senior Rob
Joiner give the Huskies' a pair of good nose guards. Gonzales came out of the spring workouts
as the starter but Joiner is the one player among the five with any experience and that should
earn him a lot of playing time.
A junior and a pair of freshmen will fill the two tackle roles. Larry Beilis is in his
third year with the Huskies and was a reserve performer last year after seeing some time with
the special teams, while Chaine Casner and Cord Ferrari both possess good quickness and
could cause problems for opposing quarterbacks.
Although an injury forced him to miss a few games, sophomore Mark Weiss
handled most of the kicking duties a year ago. He was successful on nine of 11 extra-point
attempts and made seven of 12 field goals.

14

Brian Angney, LB, 5-11, 218, senior

Comes out of the Huskies' spring drills as the number one linebacker.
Returned to the club last season after an injury forced him the entire
1987 campaign. Enjoyed a fine season playing in all 11 games a year
ago with 54 tackles including 19 unassisted hits. He also had a fumble
recovery and caused another. In his two seasons of action he has
recorded 67 tackles and recovered two opponent fumbles.
Larry Bellis, DT, 6-0, 238, junior
Played as a reserve tackle a year ago and steps into the starting role on
the defensive line this season. Reads offensive blocking schemes well
and is one of the top technicians on the defense. Also one of the
strongest members of the team. Registered nine tackles in limited
action last season and saw some time with the special teams as a
freshman.
John Cannon, RB, 6-0, 203, junior
Will be in his first season as one of the Huskies' starting backfield
performers. Has breakaway speed as well as strength for inside
running. Expected to handle the ball between 25 and 30 times a game if
the Huskies' offense is going to be successful. Limited time a year ago
saw him carry just nine times for 33 yards, an average of 3.7 per rush.
He also had one catch for eight yards and returned five kickoffs for 60
yards.

Chaine Casner, DT, 6-3, 252, freshman
Spent last season learning the Huskies' system and appears ready to step
into an active role. Is the club's biggest defensive lineman who needs to
gain experience and could do so right away as one of the starting
tackles. Is very quick for his size and has the potential and other
necessary tools to make things happen up front.

Brian Crouthamel, OG, 6-5, 310, junior
Third year as a starter on the offensive line and one of four returning
starters up front. Making the move from tackle to guard but should
have no problem adjusting if the spring workouts are any indication.
Has improved both his quickness and technique which could make him
one of the Pennsylvania Conference's top offensive linemaen.

15

Trent Dennis, FS, 6-0, 189,junior
Has seen a lot of action in his first two seasons with the club. A good
athlete who has potential to be one of the conference's top performers.
Saw plenty of action last season and tied for the team lead in interceptions with five. Also had 20 tackles and a fumble recovery. Along with
Derrick Hill, gives the Huskies one of the top safety combinations in
the conference. Team's top punt returner last year with 20 for 86 yards.

Alan Eck, QB, 6-0, 175, sophomore
Turned in an excellent spring practice session topped by a fine effort in
the Maroon and Gold game. In that contest he completed 11 of 15
passes for 182 yards and a touchdown. He will battle for the starting
role after proving he can run the team. Possesses a good arm and
continues to improve in all areas. A fine student who transferred from
Grove City College.
Cord Ferrari, DT, 6-4, 218, freshman

In his first season with the club in an active role after using his redshirt
option last season. Could make an immediate impact as one of the
Huskies' top five defensive linemen. An excellent pass rusher who
gives the defense good mobility up front. Will see plenty of action
especially in passing situations.

John Fulmer, C, 6-3, 265, senior
Had a fine season a year ago as the leader of the offensive line. Was
named to the all-conference second team unit for the third time in his
career after returning from a knee injury which forced him to miss the
entire 1987 season. Is playing as a post graduate and should use his
vast experience to have his best season to date.

Mike Gonzales, NG, 6-0, 250, sophomore
Finished the spring as the Huskies' starting nose gurad. Will be one of
three newcomers on the defensive line making the area one of the
squad's most inexperienced. Very tenacious and aggressive, both
attributes which make him a good player for the position. Also uses
good strength to his advantage.

I
I
I

Rob Grow, OG, 6-2, 262,junior
Another third-year starter on the offensive line. Experimented at a
tackle position in the spring but will remain at guard. Probably the best
athlete on the line who has seen action in all but one game in the last
two seasons. Should be ready to have his best year after making
improvement in his technique.

16

Jeff Haflett, DE, 6-1, 194, junior
Finished the spring drills as the Huskies' third defensive end. Saw
action last season on the defense as well as special teams to earn a
letter. Needs experience but will see a lot of game time early in the
campaign. Had four tackles and caused a fumble last season.

Tom Heavey, DB, S-9, 192, senior
Should be one of the team leaders. A third-year starter who enjoyed a
fine season a year ago finishing third in total defensive points. Good
hitter who is very strong and quick. Had 49 tackles including 34
unassisted to go along with two interceptions, two fumble recoveries
and seven pass breakups. Part of a veteran secondary that will be a key
to the club's success.
John Hellgren, DE, 6-1, 236, senior
Moved to defensive end from linebacker last season and had a fine year.
Very mobile and active up front which led to 38 tackles and three sacks.
Is a post graduate who could be one of the conference's top defensive
performers before the seasons ends. Must have a great year for the
Huskies to be successful.

Derrick Hill, SS, 6-0, 178, senior
Making the move to strong safety for his final year and appeared to
make the transition very well in the spring. Two-time all-conference
selection who has good speed and can make the big play. Led the team
in interceptions in 1986 and 1987 and was also the Huskies' top punt
returner both seasons. Missed last season but should return to form
quickly and have a great year.

Rob Joiner, NG, S-11, 22S, senior

An excellent special teams' performer who will probably be in the
backup nose guard role when the season begins. Will get a lot of
playing time and should have a good year. One of the few players with
experience on the front line.

Ster Kern, WR, S-8, 1S3, junior
Will start opposite Jeff Sparks giving the Huskies a pair of quality
receivers on the outside. Improved his routes since last season and has
developed a better understanding of the game. Had seven catches a
year ago for 187 yards and one touchdown. Led the team in yards per
catch with an average of 28.1 per reception.

17

Seth Kil.el, LB, 6-2, 192, sophomore
Comes out of the spring workouts as one of the Huskies' top three
linebackers. Will see a lot more time than last season when he lettered
as a freshman. Was a backup defensive end and special teams
performer in 1988 and registered four tackles in the limited roles.
Should have some time to develop behind a pair of veterans.

Paul Lonergan, TE, 6-5, 211, senior
Expected to have the same type of season he had a year ago when he
topped the club in receiving. Gained weight in the off-season which
should aid in his blocking assignments. One person the Huskies will
look to for yardage on key downs. Good hands and height make him a
good target for the passers. Caught 40 passes for 508 yards last year.

Jerry Marks, RB, 5-9, 200, sophomore
Finished the spring as one of the Huskies' starting backfield performers.
Has a lot of potential to make an impact right away and is a good
compliment to John Cannon in the running attack. Saw considerable
action last season mainly as a kickoff returner. Had seven carries for 13
yards in limited backfield exposure but returned 11 kickoffs for 185
yards, an average of 16.8 per return.
Bryan Mellinger, OT, 6-1, 219, freshman
Spent last season as a redshirt learning the team's system. Excellent
spring practice sessions vaulted him to a spot among the top five
offensive linemen. Has played center but will move to the outside in
one of the tackle spots for this season. Very quick and is probably the
fastest of the Huskies' line performers.

Jeff Naugle, DB, 5-11, 162,junior

A very versatile performer who can play any of the defensive backfield
positions. Good athlete who moves to the ball , and reads situations
well. Will probably be the club's "nickel-back" as well as spending a
lot more time on the field in relief. Will also be the team's punter after
spending two seasons as the backup at that spot.

Dave Pysher, OT, 6-2, 245, senior
Another third-year starter who spent the last two years at guard but will
move over to a tackle spot this fall. Technically has become very sound
and is a fine pass blocker. Good size and strength should help him have
a good year. Very solid and experienced which should help him adjust
quickly to the new position.

18

Jacob Robinson, DE, 6-2, 230, sophomore
Will move from the defensive line to a defensive end spot this season.
A very versatile athlete who should make a solid end. Needs to get
some experience but has the physical tools to play the spot. Good
quickness and strength should allow him to apply pressure on opposing
quarterbacks.

Dave Robson, QB, 6-4, 194, sophomore
Finished the spring in a dead heat with Alan Eck for the starting job.
Has the skills and physical attributes to be a good college quarterback
but has limited experience. Got more comfortable with the system in
the spring drills. Started two games last season and the Huskies won
both outings. Rushed 26 times in 1988 and completed eight of 20 pass
attempts for 88 yards.

Mike Sohn, RB, 5-10, 195, sophomore
Sat out last season after a freshman year in which he rushed eight times
for 12 yards and led the team in kickoff returns with 14 for 208 yards.
One of four runningbacks who will see a lot of action for the squad. A
strong inside runner who is also a fine blocker which makes him an
asset in short yardage situations.

Jeff Sparks, WR, 6-1, 160, senior
Another veteran player who must handle the ball for the Huskies to be
successful. Good speed and great hands make him a threat to score
from anywhere on the field. Was the team scoring leader in 1987 and
earned all-conference recognition last season. Has made 38 catches for
614 yards and nine touchdowns in the last two campaigns.

Scott Walton, RB, 5-7, 175,junior
A soild performer who fits in well with any of the Huskies' other backs.
Cuts well and finds the open hole. Should see alot of time in the
backfield as well as on kickoff return team. Led the club in the latter
category last year with 15 returns for 266 yards, an average of 17.7
yards per return.

E. J. Weston, LB, 6-1, 210, sophomore
Returns after sitting out last season and should be one of the club's
starting linebackers. A very intense performer who likes contact. A
solid tackler who needs more experience in game situations. Had five
tackles in limited action as a freshman two years ago.

19

John Wetzel, OT, 6-1, 262,junior

A versatile performer who can play several spots on the offensive line.
Will probably see action at both guard and tackle. Came out of the
spring as one of the club's top seven offensive lineman so he should get
a good chance to prove himself early in the season.

Jerome Wilson, DB, 5-9, 178, junior
Earned one of the top spots at a comerback position during the spring
drills. Good special teams performer a year ago and had four tackles
and a blocked extra point attempt. Very physical player who likes to hit
and should provide the defensive backfield with some rniore decent
speed.

The Huskies started the 1988 campaign fast winning their first four games, and went
on the post the school's fifth-consecutive winning season with a final record of 7-4. Victories
over Norfolk State, Shippensburg, Lock Haven, and Kutztown got the team off on the right
track before Pennsylvania Conference Eastern Division foe West Chester handed the club its
first defeat. A three-game winning streak followed with triumphs coming over East
Stroudsburg, Cheyney, and Mansfield to raise the Huskies' record to a fine 7-1 mark. The
squad's outstanding record lifted it to the 13th position in the NCAA Division II national
rankings and kept its national playoff hopes alive. However, three straight losses to close the
season dashed any playoff aspirations and dropped the club out of the national polls. A
Millersville win ended the Huskies' chances of a PC East crown and the club settled for third
place for the third year in a row. Indiana (Pa.) and New Haven scored wins to end the year on
a sour note.

GAME ONE - September 3: Bloomsburg 14 Norfolk State 7
A solid defensive effort would lift the Huskies over the homestanding Spartans in the season
opener. The Huskies held their opponents to just 62 yards in total offense while registering
three sacks and recovering two fumbles. Mike Medina put the visitors on top in the opening
period capping a long drive when he went in from 16 yards out. Mark Weiss added the extra
point. Medina's backfield mate, Leonard Bluitt, put the Huskies further ahead late in the third
period when he scored on a three-yard run and Weiss' kick made it 14-0 entering the final
quarter. However, the Spartans, who were stifled offensively all afternoon, depended on their
special teams as an 89 yard punt return for a score early in the quarter kept the Spartans alive.
The extra-point attempt failed and the Huskies' defense continued its fine play to seal the win.
GAME TWO - September 10: Bloomsburg 21 Shippensburg 7
On the road for the second-consecutive week, the Huskies again jumped ahead early and relied
on good defense to post win number two. Tom Heavey recovered a fumble deep in
Bloomsburg territory on the game's first possession and the Huskies marched 88 yards with
Paul Venesky going in from three yards out. After the Red Raiders missed a field goal the
Huskies took over again with the same result. Eric Speece went three yards for a score and
Weiss kicked the second of his three conversions to give the visitors a 14-0 advantage. The
defense, which had two interceptions and two fumbl,e recoveries, faltered only once allowing a
59-yard touchdown pass late in the opening half. The Huskies wasted no time after the break
as they scored on their first possession when Bluitt (129 yards) scored from five yards away.
GAME THREE - September 17: Bloomsburg 17 Lock Haven 6
A pair of scores late in the game helped the Huskies to win their home opener against the
much-improved Bald Eagles. Bluitt's one-yard run was the only score of the first half by
either team. Lock Haven drew close in the third quarter on an 86-yard touchdown pass but the
conversion kick failed and that was as close as the visitors could get. A pair of Trent Dennis'
interceptions led the defense and Bluitt gained more than 100 yards for the third straight week.
Bluitt capped a long drive early in the fourth quarter with his second touchdown run of the day
to give the Huskies some breathing room and Drew Lotsis' 27-yard field goal accounted for
the final margin.

GAME FOUR - September 24: Bloomsburg 14 Kutztown 9
The Huskies trailed for the first time in the season as the visiting Bears kicked a field goal in
the first period. A fumble recovery by Brian Angney set up Bloomsburg's first score, a threeyard run by Bluitt to give the Huskies a 7-3 halftime lead. Venesky, who passed for 152 yards
in the game, connected with Mike Medina on a 30-yard scoring pass in the third quarter to up
22

the lead to 14-3. Kutztown went on an 80-yard drive late in the contest to score with just over
two minutes left but the conversion pass and ensuing on-sides kick failed and the Huskies held
on for their fourth win of the year and first in the PC Eastern Division.

GAME FIVE - September 30: West Chester 24 Bloomsburg 9
The Huskies held a 9-7 halftime lead under the lights at West Chester but the Rams scored on
both of their third quarter possessions to hand Bloomsburg its first loss of the year. Trailing 70, the Huskies marched from their own eight-yard line with Bluitt going in from one yard out.
The conversion kick was blocked but the visitors took the lead a short time later following
Dan Shutt's interception. 'lne Huskies started in great position at the West Chester 12-yard
line but had to settle for a 23-yard field goal by Lotsis. After the intermission the Rams put
together drives of 68 and 39 yards to take control of the contest. A field goal in the final
quarter accounted for the final tally as the Rams' defense, which had nine sacks, toughened
and held the Huskies to only 23 offensive yards in the second half.
GAME SIX - October 8: Bloomsburg 18 East Stroudsburg 7
Bruce Linton's 53-yard interception return for a score with just over a minute left in the contest
topped a fine defensive effort and got the Huskies back on the winning track. Five interceptions and three fumble recoveries by the defense kept the Warriors out of the endzone while
the Huskies' offense built a 12-0 lead on a pair of Weiss field goals of 26 and 36 yards,
respectively, and a 25-yard Venesky-to-Jeff Sparksring pass. East Stroudsburg pulled close
when the Warriors scored on an intercepted pass and returned for a score late in the fourth
quarter. All of the Huskies' points came as a result of turnovers by the visitors. Bluitt
surpassed the 100-yard mark for the fourth time in the season with 101 rushing yards in the
game. In addition to Linton's fine defensive play, strong safety Shutt added a fumble
recovery, which led to a score, and an interception in the Huskies' endzone which stopped a
Warrior drive.
GAME SEVEN - October 15: Bloomsburg 3 Cheyney 0
The defensive unit continued to shine, limiting the sixth opponent in seven games to singledigit scoring as the Huskies picked up a tough road win at the expense of the Wolves. A
Weiss field goal with 10:55 left in the contest were the only points either offense could put on
the board. The Huskies' offense managed only 92 yards in the game against the nationallyranked Cheyney defense but the Huskies' defense proved as tough by keeping the home team
out of the endzone and forcing five turnovers. Again, the turnovers proved to be the difference as John Hellgren fell on a Cheyney fumble at the Wolves' 29-yard line to set up Weiss'
game-winning kick. The Huskies' offensive effort was also stifled by what proved to be a
season-ending injury to Bluitt, who was the team's leading rusher after the first six games.
GAME EIGHT - October 22: Bloomsburg 9 Mansfield 0
The foot of Weiss, the weather, and the Huskies' defense told the story in this victory which
marked the fourth consecutive year that Bloomsburg posted at least seven wins. Three Weiss
field goals provided all the points the Huskies would need in the cold, wet Homecoming
contest The freshman connected on kicks of 21, 29, and 31 yards, two of which were the
result of Mountie turnovers, and missed on three other attempts. Mansfield was held to 175
yards in total offense and turned the ball over six times on four interceptions and two fumbles.
In addition, the Mounties did not convert on a third-down play all afternoon. Tight end Paul
Lonergan had a good day with seven catches for 81 yards and on the other side of the ball
Shutt had two of the interceptions.

23

GAME NINE - October 29: Millersville 51 Bloomsburg 17
The Huskies led 10-7 after a quarter but then the roof fell in as the homestanding Marauders
scored 23 points in the second quarter to tum an anticipated close game into a rout. In this
game it was the Huskies who were guilty of turnovers as they gave away three interceptions
and three fumbles. A Weiss 25-yard field goal and a Venesky-to-Sparks 27-yard pass accounted for the Huskies early lead. Venesky connected with his other wide receiver, Stef
Kem, in the final period for the other Bloomsburg points. The Marauders, who would
eventually win the PC Eastern Division and advance to the national playoffs, took full advantage of the Huskies' mistakes and rolled up 450 yards in total offense. Five of Millersville's
eight scores came following Bloomsburg turnovers.
GAME TEN - November 5: Indiana (Pa.) 32 Bloomsburg 7
The Huskies took the lead in this game as well but the offense never got started and powerful
Indiana ran away to an easy win. After a scoreless first quarter, tackle Chris Gross realized a
lineman's dream midway through the second quarter when he picked off an Indiana pass and
ran 48 yards for the first score of the game to put the Huskies on top. Weiss' kick made it 7-0.
The visitors wasted little time getting back in the contest as they took the ensuing kickoff and
marched 69 yards for a score. The conversion failed and the Huskies led 7-6 at halftime. The
lndiartS took the second half kickoff and scored again and added another touchdown before the
end of the third period to take control of the game. The Huskies managed only 127 yards in
total offense.
GAME ELEVEN - November 12: New Haven 26 Bloomsburg 2
A disastrous fourth quarter was the cause of the Huskies' third-consecutive defeat as they
trailed just 6-2 entering the final period but gave up 20 unanswered points to the Chargers and
closed the season on a down note. Ron Sahm's blocked punt was one of the few bright spots
for the visitors. He got to the Chargers' punter late in the first half and blocked the attempted
kick at the 27-yard line and eventually the home team fell on the ball in the endzone giving the
Huskies the safety and a 2-0 lead at halftime. After the Chargers scored in the third period to
take the lead, the Huskies blocked their second kick of the afternoon when Jerome Wilson
knocked down the extra-point attempt. However, three of the next four times the Chargers
had the ball they put it in the endzone to pull away to the victory.

DUKES

1989 James Madison Outlook
After competing in the NCAA I-AA playoffs in 1987, the Dukes struggled somewhat a
year ago recording a mark of 5-6 but gained valuable experience in the process and return a
veteran club for th eupcoming campaign. Just three starters are gone from the defensive unit
that ranked 13th nationally and almost all of the performers on the first two offensive teams
return. Junior Roger Waters, who played some a year ago will most likely direct the new
Multi-T attack at the quarterback spot. The new system should better employ the talents of
veteran runningbacks Greg Medley and Willie Lanier and the squad's top five receivers return
led by split end Keith Thornton, who had 30 catches last season. An All-American and two
of the Dukes' all-time leading tacklers must be replaced on defensebut honorable mention
All-Americans Steve Bates and Eupton Jackson at outside linebacker and free safety,
respectively, should help ease the loss. Last season's leading tackler, inside linebacker Darryl
Thompson also returns.

RED RAIDERS

1989 Shippensburg Outlook

The Red Raiders were a suprise winner of the, Western Division last year. They beat
Indiana (Pa.), 24-23. With a goal-line stand in the final minutes in an early-season game
which eventually decided the division race. Coch Joe Bottiglieri is counting on defense again
this season. Tackle Robert Davis (88 tackles) and end Mike Swope (ten tackles for losses)
will spearhead the defensive line. David Russell (86 tackles) and Steve Gironda are two solid
linebackers. Team interception leaders Darien Smith and Jeff Pickers are both back. The
Raiders' offense will revolve around the blocking of tackle Clyde Tinner (6-7, 286) and
running of fullback Bob Plummer (602 yards rushing).

BALD EAGLES

1989 Lock Haven Outlook

The Bald Eagles hope to leave a pair of consecutive two-win seasons behind and soar to the
.500 mark. Three All-PC first team players return in wide reciever Richard Nurse, defensive
tackle Scott Govern and free safety Dewayne Tooles. Quarterback Rich Hunter is back after
missing last year because of an injury. He will be challenged by transfer Jimmy Broadway
whose fancy style complements his name. There will be plenty of experience on the offensive
line with five of six starters returning including guard Fritz Servain and tight end Jeff Po lites .
Running back and fullback are the question marks. Defensively, third-coach Tom Jones will
rely on veteran linebackers Todd Stuter and Jim Bibbs and backs Guy Wade and Dave
Laudeman.

GOLDEN BEARS
1989 Kutztown Outlook
The Golden Bears hope that the off-season has erased some of the bitter memories of the
1988 campaign. The team lost its last six games and had one of the leagues weakest defenses
allowing an average yield of 33.8 points per game. Second-year coach Barry Fetterman
expects his team's running game to be strong with two highly versatile backs. Tailback and
kick returner Mike Steinmeyer accounted for more than 1,300 yards in all-purpose running last
season. Fullback Joe Svede was the team's top reciever and also the second-leading rusher.
Tackle John Eagles (6-3, 275) will anchor the offensive line. Linebacker Erv Kelly was one of
the lone bright spots on the defense last season.

GOLDEN RAMS

1989 West Chester Outlook
Rick Daniels has one of the toughest assignments of any first-year Pennsylvania Conference coach ever. He must replace the circuit's all-time leading passer, Al Niemela (7,853
yards and 73 touchdowns), and all-time top reciever, Bill Hess (2,729 career yards and 28
touchdowns). Also gone are five other Ali-PC first team players from a team which gained an
NCAA Division II playoff berth. The key returnee is tailback and 1,000-yard rusher, Derrick
Price. He will be joined in the backfieldby two Browns, junior quarterback Ed and senior
fullback Mike. Tight end Scott Asman (32 catches. 396 yards) and wideouts Tom Settembrino and George Reid are all quality recievers. The team's best on defense should be AllConference linebacker and leading tackler Paul Vanscovich, tackle Greg Espenshade and
cornerback Gerald Toney.

WARRIORS

1989 East Stroudsburg Outlook
Inside linebacker Pat Brady gives the Warriors a returning All-American player for the first
time ever. Brady (6-2, 243) led the team in tackles in all ten games and was picked on the
Associated Press All-American third team. He is one of the eight starters returning from a
defense which ranked nationally with least ponts (11.6) and least yards (222.0) allowed per
game. Also back for veteran coach Denny Douds (89-61-1 , 15 years) are linebackers Douglas
Moore and Ernie Sebastianelli and top defensive end Bob Heusmann. The team lost four
games by three or less points and more spark is needed in the offense. The top offensive
returnees are wide recievers Dennis Mailhot and Ken Kopetchny and fullback Kelly Gabriel.

WOLVES

1989 Wolves' Outlook

Coch Mike Costa doesn't have many new names to learn on defense this season. Eight
starters are back from the defensive unit which ranked among the nation's bestt. Huge end Jim
Williams (6-8, 280) and Ron Curry put a bite in the Wolves' defensive line play. Free safety
Julius Flynn is one of the conference's most talented defensive backs. On offense, Costa has
to come up with a consistent running attack to balance his team's passing game. Andre Baylor
will be at quarterback again throwing to recievers Brian Christian, Antoine Price and Melvin
Tate. Center Chris Errickson (6-3, 265) and tackle Trinis Robinson (6-4, 280) are the top
returning offensive linemen.

1989 Mansfield Outlook
Coach Tom Elsassar must find replacements for four seniors who accounted for 26 school
records. Gone are record-setting quarterback Craig Jobes, all-time top receivers John Woods
and Jim Cosgrove and career tackle leader linebacker Riki Kimble. Senior Dave Zlinsky and
sophomore Chris Eiswerth will battle for the quarterback position. Their top passing target
should be junior wide reciever Duane MacDonald. The entire offensive line returns headed by
guard Ben Barton (6-2, 260). The Mounties' defensive mainstays figure to be linebackers Ron
Walters and Willie Watts and free safety Troy Barbusca.

MARAUDERS

1989 Millersville Outlook

The Marauders enjoyed thier winningest season ever last year and captured the Lambert
Meadowlands Cup and the ECAC Division II Team of the Year Award. Coach Gene
Carpenter has to replace 17 seniors and 11 starters including quarterback Bret Stover and
linebacker John Petrus who led the team to the NCAA Division II quarter-final round.
Carpenter still expects to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the school's football program with
another successful season. Backa are two All-Eastern players in tailback Scott Highley, who
had six 100-yard plus games, and place-kicker Luke Hadfield. Tim Cunningham (6-3, 220),
guard Mark Painter (6-0, 230) and tackle Todd Van Hom (6-3, 260) anchor the offensive line.
The strength of the defense should be the secondary which features Darren Ryals (six interceptions). Nose quard Scott Sorantino is the only returnee of the defensive line.

INDIANS

1989 Indiana Outlook

The Indians were ranked as high as third in the NCAA Division II ratings last season and
made the national playoffs for the second straight year. Losses to Shippensburg for the PC
West title and Millersville in the national playoffs spoiled an otherwise successful season.
Coach Frank Cignetti will have veteran lines on both sides of the ball. Three-year tackle Jim
Upcapher and center Shawn Kunes both earned All-PC first team honors last season. All three
top recievers return in PC West Rookie of the Year Andrew Hill, three year starter Rex Pynos
and tight end Paul Kovell. The offensive backfield must be completely rebuilt. On defense,
the Indians will depend on nose guard Joe Donati, tackle Jeff Johnson, end Stan Celich and All
-PC linebacker Bryan Whipkey.

CHARGERS

1989 New Haven Outlook

Some offensive revamping faces the Chargers' second-year head coach Mark Whipple but
some talented veterans should make the transition period a little smoother. Record-setting
passer Mike Horton will be replaced by his backup for two seasons Jay McLucas who will
direct a more controlled attack. Runningback Keith McCoy has gained 818 yards over the
past two seasons and again will handle the bulk of the ball carrying and four of the club's top
receivers return led by McCoy and wide receiver Dan Schwab. All-American tackle Rob Thompson is gone up front along with two other starters so some rebuilding must be done in the
offensive line. Keith Dudzinski, who moved to linebacker last season, will return to the
defensive line making a strong area even better this year. Tyrone Barnett was the club's
leading tackler a year ago and returns at linebacker and comers Tim Jackson and Ken Colby
give the Chargers good speed in the secondary.

'I,

The Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (Pennsylvania Conference) is comprised of 14 schools in the Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education. This new
governing body took over from the Department of Education on July 1, 1983, and the change
was also reflected in the granting of university status to all member institutions formerly
known as "state colleges." Dr. James H. McCormick is the chancellor of the Pennsylvania
SSHE.
The programs in the Pennsylvania Conference are under the leadership of a Board of
Directors, which consists of the 14 university presidents. The organization of the conference,
through its separate divisions of men's and women's athletics, is unique because it enables
both programs to develop independently while sharing common goals. One of the largest
conferences in the nation, the Pennsylvania Conference sponsors championship competition in
10 sports for men and 10 for women as follows: Fall Season - Men - cross country, football,
soccer; Women - cross country, field hockey, tennis, and volleyball. Winter Season - Men basketball, swimming and diving, wrestling; Women - basketball, gymnastics, and swinuning
and diving. Spring Season - Men - baseball, golf, tennis, track and field; Women - lacrosse,
softball, and track and field.
All 14 schools are members of Division II of the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA). In individual sports, however, some schools have elected to compete in
either NCAA Divisions I or III.
Athletes and teams have won numerous honors in national competition and have
helped the Pennsylvania Conference become one of the most respected "small college" conferences in the nation.

Robert B. Redman Stadium is situated on the upper campus of
Bloomsburg University as part of the university's 103-acre athletic
complex. Completed in February 1974, the new facility took the place
of Athletic Park in downtown Bloomsburg as "Home of the Huskies."
The stadium, which overlooks the scenic Susquehanna Valley, has
seating for 5,000 spectators, although attendance at several events has
exceeded that total. The largest crowd to witness a football game in the
facility totalled 7,483 at the 1985 Homecoming contest against
Millersville.
The area is designed for expansion should such a project be needed and contains
large storage capabilities as well as a concession stand and restrooms. The university's upper
campus also contains the E.H. Nelson Fieldhouse, Danny Litwhiler Field (baseball), and a
huge field area which serves as home for the Huskies' soccer and lacrosse teams along with
multiple practice fields. Located inside the stadium confines is an all-weather track used by
BU's men's and women's track and field teams. A pressbox with seating for more than 40
persons is situated on top of the west stands.
Originally, when planning began for the new stadium in 1963, the proposed site was
the area now occupied by 18 tennis courts on the lower campus; however, a consultant's
report recommended the upper campus development. The project finally got underway in
1972 at a total cost of $725,000.
On Saturday, September 21, 1974, the first game was played in the stadium, and
dedication ceremonies were held naming the facility in honor of Redman.
A native of Sayre, Pa., and a graduate of its public schools, Coach Redman
graduated with honors in economics at Swarthmore College where he also participated in four
years of varsity football activities, served as captain during his senior year, and was also a
varsity performer with the baseball team. He earned his Master of Arts degree in economics at
Pennsylvania State University during his tenure at Bloomsburg State College.
Redman had coached at Sayre High School and North High School in
Binghamton, N.Y., prior to serving as an officer in the United States Navy during World War
II. He left the service with the rank of lieutenant commander. He returned to his coaching
duties at North High School and remained there until his appointment at Bloomsburg in 1947.
In addition to
, ,•
serving as head coach of two
varsity teams, Redman also
served as dean of men and
taught a full schedule of
courses in economics.
During his five years
at Bloomsburg, his teams won
38 games while losing only
four. His record included
three Pennsylvania Conference
championships and two
undefeated teams. He left Bloomsburg in September 1952 to become head football coach at
East Orange Senior High School, N.J. During the late 50s, he was appointed principal of the
senior high school, and his untimely death occured in 1960 shortly after he had been elected
superintendent of schools in East Orange, N.J.

The purpose of this guide is to provide members of the media with necessary information
concerning Bloomsburg football. Members of the media are always welcome on the
Bloomsburg University campus. It would be appreciated if those who plan to cover any of
the Huskies' home or away contests would contact the sports information office so that we
can make every effort to accommodate your needs and requests.
