Pride.PurPose.Passion.

in his very first press conference as head coach, mike Lopez said his program would be guided by these three principles. Lopez’s mantra has helped cultivate a winning attitude that permeates through all aspects of the football program.

Pride. No team in the wViAC has the rich tradition that fairmont state boasts. The falcons were the first team in west Virginia to win a national championship in football in 1967 under legendary coach deacon duvall. The falcons have also won a conference-best 17 wViAC titles. Current coaches and student-athletes embrace the legacy of those before them.

Purpose. every drill, every meeting and every practice has a goal: to become a better player. from that goal, players and coaches strive together to achieve at a high level. By continuing to develop student-athletes as players and people, positive results on the field are unavoidable.

Passion. To borrow from ralph waldo emerson, “Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm.” embodied in its high-energy head coach, fairmont state football is played with excitement and fervor from the first play in practice to the last play of a game.

game Day at Duvall-Rosier Field

fairmont state’s duvall-rosier field is the home of the fighting falcon football program. The 5,000 seat stadium is located at the top of campus, but is the center of attention during game days. duvall-rosier field has 150 seatback chairs, lights that allow for televised night games, a fully equipped press box with two levels and a fieldTurf playing surface that ensures that the falcons will not play or practice on a better surface than what is at duvall-rosier field.

As the excitement has grown around the football program over the last few seasons, so has the attendance at duvall-rosier field. fairmont state has been among the league leaders in attendance averaging over 2,000 fans per game over the last two seasons. Last season, fairmont state had two games with crowds estimated at over 5,000.

A game at duvall-rosier field is an event for the whole family that includes fun, food and football. hours before kickoff, the parking lots start filling with cars and smoke from tailgates begin to fill the air as fans prepare to cheer on the falcons. students, who gather at an adjacent lot called the “falcon Nest,” gather and have their own tailgate area for games and activities as well.

fairmont state was recognized nationally by the NCAA for its Community engagement initiative “Getting To Know You,” which helped kick off the 2009 football season and the 2009-10 school year. Community groups, such as the marion County Chamber of Commerce, were encouraged to come to the game and to meet the new president of the university. At the same time, football student-athletes went out in the community to hand out wrist bands, schedule cards and posters, personally inviting the community to come to the game and support fsu. The idea was to make the experience of going to a fairmont state athletic event personal to the community by meeting the players and fsu President Tom Krepel.

fairmont state had two crowds estimated at over 5,000 in 2009, including fsu’s televised game against Glenville state.

Fighting Falcons

with numerous sections and components to a football team – even the offense, defense and special teams are each broken down into even smaller subsets – it’s easy to see how one mistake can trigger a chain reaction, ultimately leading to a breakdown. that domino effect is encapsulates the 2009 fairmont State football team, where one in-game mistakes got compounded by another, which led to losses which affected the team’s overall confidence for the next game. and, in a short while, the fighting falcons had a tough time getting off the mat while facing an incredibly brutal schedule that ranked among the most difficult in the country. what had seemed to be a promising season for the falcons was almost over before every getting started.

Despite that letdown, head coach Mike lopez is more determined than ever to lead the falcons back to glory. while lessons were certainly learned in the 2009 season, lopez is confident in his approach and philosophy.

“Just because we were losing doesn’t mean we’re lost,” lopez says emphatically. “when you win, you feel like you have things figured out. when you lose, you evaluate things from a-to-Z, and we’ve done that and we know where we are and how to get to where we want to be.”

Offenseone of the biggest changes from last

season is the addition of Bryan fisher to the coaching staff as the offensive coordinator. fisher has Division i experience and has spent the last seven seasons as a successful head coach at robert C. Byrd High School.

“i’ve known coach fisher for a long time, i know his demeanor and personality – and it’s what we needed,” lopez says. “i think his addition changes our team in terms of moving the ball, scoring points and overall confidence.”

fisher has plenty of weapons at his disposal, but heading into the season is still in search of a guy who can make it all happen from the quarterback position.

Senior vick Bradford has the most experience of any of the signal callers returning, but is still recovering from an injury and may not be ready to go by summer camp.

Season PreviewBrandon Hyler made some strides in the spring and performed well at the annual Maroon & white game. the falcons also brought in highly touted local product logan Moore out of fairmont Senior High to compete for the job immediately. Colby treadway is another true freshman who will be given a look in august.

“Having a consistent offensive system is critical for any quarterback to succeed,” lopez says. “whoever is back there, if they do what the system and what the coaches ask you to do, they’ll be fine. and we have quality kids and good leaders back there, and that’s key.”

the quarterback will have several weapons at his disposal, mainly wideout perry Baker. Baker, who was slowed the entire year by a high ankle sprain he suffered on his second touch of the season, is fully healthy. Baker is undoubtedly one of the most electric players in the league and should thrive in the offensive system.

“perry will have the bulls eye on his back once again,” lopez says. “teams respect his ability. He’s dynamic and a game changer. the key for perry will be to stay healthy and stay on the field so that he can be a factor.”

the falcons also have added 6-3 junior college transfer eric eitson as another weapon at wideout. Matt wilmer had an impressive spring and will see time as a slot receiver. Junior Derek Sevier is a big target, and falcon cager Chris thompson joined the football team and impressed the staff with his ability to catch the ball. freshmen aaron fetty, frank taitano, trey wiggins, Chris St. Hilaire could also have an impact at wide receiver.

in the backfield, the falcons have a variety of options to suit their plan of attack. Big, bruising back Doug Brazill, who is seventh all-time at fairmont State in career rushing, gets tough yards between the tackles but also has a burst that can get away from the second level. Sophomore Scott victorio is a quicker back that fisher would like to get out in space either out of the backfield or in the slot. patrick pinchinat is big at 6-2, but also has tremendous speed to go with the size. redshirt freshman Damon waters and sophomore Matt Griffin have the talent and work ethic to garner playing time as well. Junior fullback Cody reed is another tough

runner who likes to block as much as he likes to carry the ball.

the falcons will be young and thin up front, but not without talent. left tackle Matt Khouri, who many believe is among the top linemen in the region, is back to full strength after being injured for portions of the 2009 campaign. Junior Josh Kniceley is a returning starter who is a consistent force at right tackle, and will share time with the 6-7, 300-pound Jon Mcnemar. Junior pat Halpin has seen significant time in the lineup during his first two seasons, and he and sophomore Joe angotti will be in the mix for the job at right tackle. newcomer Chris furbee, along with returners nick Gwinn and Colin Casselman will battle for the job at left guard. nick Shrader and Chase lafferty will compete for the center position.

defensethe falcon defense, under the direction of

Mike lopez, has consistently given fairmont State the opportunity to win games over the past few years. However, when the offense struggled, it also impacted the defense as far as time on the field and morale. this year, lopez hopes that a resurgent offense will have a positive impact on the other side of the ball and make a good defense even better.

the falcons are big, physical and deep up front, and have game-changing talent in the secondary in 2010. in between, fSU will need to develop its linebacking corps to be the top unit it expects to be.

the falcons feature several talented players that they can use in a variety of ways up front in its 3-3 stack defense. one of those is defensive end junior luke Black. Black exploded onto the scene as a freshman with 11 sacks in his first year, but faced much more attention in his second year. even though his sack numbers dipped as teams paid more attention to him, his total tackles went up and the respect for his play was evidenced by him earning first team all-wviaC honors and second team all-region recognition.

“when you have an odd front, it’s easy to double him, and i think teams paid attention to him,” lopez says. “Sacks don’t tell the story about luke’s play – we were happy with his play. He’s a different, special kid who is

Fighting Falconsdeveloping into a good leader.”

Junior tony patterson will see an increased role on the other end of the line. patterson made four starts as a sophomore and recorded 33 tackles. Shane Springer, M.J. twyman, Shane Springer and Jordan Greathouse will all see plenty of action up front as part of a regular rotation.

in the middle of the line the falcons return sophomore Jack Charles. Charles is a classic nose guard at 6-0 and well over 300 pounds. Devin Johnson has the strength to play at nose but also the athletic ability to play on the end if called upon as well.

for the first time in several years the fSU linebackers will not be anchored by either vince or nate Black. Senior middle linebacker Dan Dario has been a regular in his time at fairmont State playing in 33 games and recording 133 total tackles during that span and is expected to lead the linebacker unit.

at strong side linebacker, redshirt freshman James Mcveigh is a smart player who had a strong spring that will allow him to be the starter at that position in the fall. Junior David pack was second on the team in tackles in 2009 with 68 and will need to continue to progress and build off that season.

at the weak side linebacker, two players who have previously seen limited action will be asked to step up into a more prominent role. Junior Brian turner played in eight games and made two starts in 2009, and senior parker Deem played in all 11 games and made three starts for the falcons last season.

with the lack of experience already at the position, freshmen like Jake Kelly, ryan watts, todd Steward and remington Skarzinski could come in and push for time as well.

in the secondary, fSU features one of the top athletes in the league in sophomore Dewey McDonald at the at free safety position. McDonald picked off five passes last year and set a school record with 161 interception return yards (including one 85-yard return for a touchdown). He used his speed to break up five passes and his strength to force three fumbles. He was a first team all-wviaC pick and will continue to be a focal point when offensive coaches look at fairmont State’s defense on film.

“Dewey has really progressed fast, and he’s going to continue in that direction,” lopez says. “He’s a good player and obviously has a lot of talent. He’s also developing into a leader for us.”

Junior Greg Underwood, who plays the

bandit position, is another versatile athlete in the falcon secondary. Underwood had 68 tackles a season ago, including eight for a loss and three sacks, in addition to picking off three passes and breaking up three others. Senior J.J. Mayer, who split time on the defense and at quarterback last year, is a smart player who is another good option at the position. nick Higinbotham has been slowed by injuries but has good speed and can supply depth for the falcons. at the spur position, sophomore Daniel Strosnider returns after playing in all 11 games and making six starts a season ago.

at corner, junior ryland newman and sophomore Scott Davidson are expected to see action. newman, who also plays basketball for the falcons, was a regular starter last season, but still needs to be more consistent on each play. Davidson was primarily a reserve last season but had a strong spring. Junior raynell Hall and redshirt freshman ronnie lockhart are talented players who will see regular action for the falcons. lopez would like to develop more depth at the position once camp starts.

specialistson special teams, the falcons boast senior

return man Zack page, who has a chance at several nCaa Division ii records in terms of kick returns and yardage. page, a two-time second team all-wviaC specialist, had over 1,000 kick return yards and took two kicks back for touchdowns in 2009. He gives the falcon offense good field position nearly every time he gets an opportunity. page, along with Scott victorio, are also viable options as a punt returner.

punter Ben landis returns this fall after missing last season with a knee injury. english place kicker frank Keenan joined the team in the spring and has a live leg. landis and Keenan are working in the offseason to round out their skills so that they will be able to back each other up in case of injury.

scheduleonce again, the falcons will face one of

the toughest schedules in the country. last season, fSU’s strength of schedule was ranked 20th in the country. Many of those teams, including two teams that made the nCaa playoffs, dot the 2010 schedule.

the falcons open up with the pSaC member Clarion, who completely turned

the program around in 2009 and posted a 7-3 record. the Golden eagles spent several weeks regionally ranked. fSU will open things up at home against notre Dame College out of Cleveland the following week.

after that, the falcons begin a treacherous stretch as wviaC play opens. the falcons take on perennial conference power Shepherd, followed by talented rival Glenville State, a team that will be looking to avenge a 50-37 loss last season in front of a televised audience. after that, the nation will turn its attention to fairmont and Duvall-rosier field as the falcons welcome nationally ranked west liberty on a thursday night. the game will be televised live nationally on CBS College Sports as part of the nCaa Division ii’s television deal.

things don’t get any easier after that as fSU travels to face Charleston, a team that narrowly missed out on the playoffs last year and UnC pembroke, a team that did make the playoffs in 2009. fairmont State closes the season with three of its final four games at home against wv wesleyan, Seton Hill (Homecoming) and wv State. the falcons will travel to Concord prior to the final game of the year against the yellow Jackets.

with unmatched energy, enthusiasm and innovation, head coach Mike lopez is deter-mined to return fairmont State to the promi-nence is enjoyed in previous decades. in three years as head coach, the fairmont State alum and letterman has already impacted every facet of the program in a positive manner. Known for his motor and heart as a player, lopez is more than just an excited young coach on the sideline; he is also one of the brightest. for eight seasons lopez has consis-tently produced one of the top defensive units in the wviaC and country.

in his first season as head coach, lopez led fairmont State to its first winning season in six years. the fighting falcons rallied and ended the season with four-straight wins. fairmont State had 19 players earn all-con-ference honors – more than any other team in the league – including wviaC Defensive player of the year and all-american vince Black. lopez led a defensive unit that ended the season ranked 14th nationally in scoring defense (16.5 ppg) and 18th in rushing de-fense (102.4 ypg). the falcons posted three shutouts in the same season for the first time since 1973.

in 2008, fairmont State started its young-est defense in years on its way to a 5-6 record. nate Black and David Hill were first team all-wviaC selections, and Hill also became the sixth player in seven years to earn all-america recognition. last season, the falcons had nine players earn all-wviaC honors, including three first team selections on the defensive side of the ball.

in the offseason, lopez, his staff and play-ers worked diligently to engage with the community in a variety of endeavors. lopez believes in the total development of the stu-dent-athlete and wants the football program to be a source of pride within the local com-

had players earn first team all-conference recognition 25 times, wviaC Defensive player of the week 17 times and all-northeast region 16 times. in total, lopez has coached athletes to 62 all-conference honors in his eight seasons as defensive coordinator, and 15 have played in the east Coast Division ii all-Star game.

lopez was a standout defensive end for the falcons and was a team captain during the 1996-97 seasons. the 1996 falcons won the west virginia Conference championship.

He is a 1993 graduate of notre Dame High School in Clarksburg and played his first two years of college football at potomac State College in Keyser, w.va. He was a team cap-tain for the Catamounts. He transferred to fairmont in the spring semester of 1996 and finished his career with the falcons, graduat-ing with honors in 1998. He then enrolled in graduate school at west virginia University,

munity. as a former fighting falcon himself, he has also worked hard at reuniting fellow football players with the current program. the “Springcoming” festivities, held in conjunc-tion with the Maroon-white game, have been a large success in bringing former players back on campus for fun and fellowship.

as evidenced by his first three recruiting classes, lopez wants to build a championship program with deep roots in west virginia. as a Clarksburg, w.va. native, he firmly believes that local talent can compete on a regional and national level. the annual west virgina north-South games have been loaded with players bound for fairmont State.

Under his guidance, lopez has coached six all-americans: Josh ison (2002), ed Smith (2003), Matt vance (2005), andre pope (2006), vince Black (2007) and David Hill (2008), and one academic all-american: Jason Dauch (2004). the falcon defense has

ricky Brumfield is entering his seventh year on the fairmont State coaching staff. Brumfield serves as the team’s wide receivers coach and special teams coordinator while also overseeing the foot-ball program’s academic development program. prior to the start of the 2009 season, Brumfield was promoted to assistant head coach.

Dumont spent the previous three seasons as of-fensive coordinator for the falcons. in 2009, fair-mont State’s rushing offense was among the best in the league and three players were honored by the wviaC for their performances on the year. in 2008, Dumont’s offense helped the falcons aver-age 24.2 points per game, up significantly from the previous season. Dumont’s offense displayed explosive ability with 39 plays of 20 yards or more, including seven plays that went 50 yards or more. the offense was sparked by one of the most dy-namic players in the wviaC, wide receiver perry Baker, who earned first team all-wviaC honors and second team all-northeast region recogni-tion. Dumont also helped develop a pair of young quarterbacks as they combined for over 1,500 yards passing and 16 touchdowns.

He got his coaching start as the offensive co-ordinator at liberty in 1994 where he coached future fairmont State standout quarterback Bryan Harman. He then spent one season as a student assistant at fairmont State in 1995. fisher spent the next two seasons (1996-97) as an offensive line graduate assistant coach under rick trickett at auburn before returning to liberty in 1997 to become the offensive coordinator.

in 2008, lanham demonstrated his coaching ability by making one of the youngest offensive lines in the conference also one of the best. the falcons surrendered just 10 sacks on the season (seventh fewest in the nCaa) while also rushing for over 2,000 yards. fairmont State utilized sev-eral different lineups along the offensive line and integrated five freshmen starters at some point during the year.

Khouri (left tackle), Chadd albright (right tackle) and Jeff Bolen (center) also earned all-wviaC honorable mention recognition.

Game 5sePtember 26, 2009 • West liberty, W.vA.

West liberty 35, Fsu 9

wesT LiBerTY, w.Va. -- the fairmont State defense limited west liberty to just two touchdowns in the first half and helped keep in it 14-2 at the break, but the Hilltoppers were too much in the second half as west liberty took a 35-9 decision on a rain-soaked Saturday afternoon at russek field. fairmont State’s Zack page was a bright spot for the falcons setting a single-game record with 232 kick return yards in a game. page also returned one kick for the first touchdown of his career. west liberty out-gained fairmont State 549-93. the Hilltoppers were led by Zach amedro who was 30-45 for 409 yards and four touchdowns. His favorite target was ryan travis who caught 11 passes for 129 yards and a touchdown. Kevon Calhoun rushed 19 times for 115 yards and a touchdown. fairmont State freshman Brandon Hyler came on late in the game and rushed for 23 yards. Doug Brazill had 20 yards and Matt Griffin had 18. fSU’s Derek taylor was 3-12 passing for 51 yards with one interception. west liberty wasted no time getting on the board taking the opening kick and marching 70 yards on four plays, capped by a two-yard tD reception from travis. the fairmont State defense was on the field for most of the afternoon, but, held strong keeping the Hilltoppers off the board. west liberty failed to convert on fourth and goal from the two, and then later missed two field goals to keep it at 7-0. the Hilltoppers broke through, though, with a 10-play, 40-yard drive midway through the second. page responded with the longest kick return of his career down to the one-yard line, but the falcons fumbled the snap on the very next play and west liberty recovered. However, nate Black managed to to tackle the Hilltoppers in the end zone to give fSU its first points and make it 14-2. the falcons finally got something going offensively and drove it down to the nine-yard line, but a mistake once again plagued fSU with an interception in the end zone. west liberty had a chance for points as the half was drawing to a close, but passed on a field goal attempt and went for it with just four seconds left. amedro was flushed out of the pocket and perry Baker, who had come out to defend the fade, intercepted the pass to end the half at 14-2.the falcons could not have gotten off to a better start in the third quarter as page returned the kick 59-yards for the touchdown to make it 14-9. after that, though, it was all west liberty as it scored on each of its next three possessions and fairmont State could not keep pace offensively as the Hilltoppers stretched the lead to 35-9. Dewey McDonald picked off his fourth pass of the season late in the fourth, intecepting amedro at the fairmont State 10-yard line and taking it back 56 yards.

ChArleston 37, Fsu 7

fAirmONT, w.Va. -- fifteenth-ranked Charleston (6-0, 4-0) took advantage of a couple of first half turnovers to build a 21-0 lead, and fairmont State (1-5, 1-3) could never recover in a 37-7 loss on Saturday afternoon at Duvall-rosier field. UC’s Darante Hunter was just 6-of-12 for 102 yards and two touchdowns and added 72 more on the ground and another score. UC’s Bakare Beard rushed seven times for 84 yards and a touchdown. aaron Higdon added five carries for 41 yards and a score. austin McClain led the way defensively for the Golden eagles with seven total tackles (six solo). Xavier Drakeford had five solo stops and one interception and one fumble recovery. Doug Brazill led fairmont State on the ground with 60 yards on 13 carries against the conference’s stingiest run defense. J.J. Mayer got the start at quarterback and was 6-of-14 for 51 yards and a touchdown. David pack led fairmont State with 16 total tackles (12 solo), including two for a loss and one sack. Greg Underwood added nine total tackles and parker Deem was in on eight stops. on fSU’s first possession with its new quarterback, a fumbled exchange between Mayer and Brazill and UC got on the ball at the fairmont State 16. four plays later, Hunter went up the middle to make it 7-0 quickly, but that was the only score in the first quarter. fairmont State had the ball deep in UC territory as the second quarter started, but failed to convert on 4th-and-2 at the Golden eagle 27. Beard then ripped of a 43-yard run to get UC into fSU territory, and the Golden eagles capped the drive with a 12-yard Higdon score. UC would later make it 21-0 as Higdon hauled in a six-yard tD pass from Hunter. the falcons responded with an impressive 11-play, 68-yard scoring drive on its next possession. Brazill recorded runs of 16, 17 and 16 to help get the ball to the UC 13. from there, Mayer hit Stephan Johnson over the middle to make it 21-7. UC drove late but could not get any points as the teams would head into the locker room with the score 21-7. Charleston drove down to the fairmont State one-yard line on their first possession of the second half but the falcon defense denied a pair of Hunter sneaks and forced the Golden eagles to settle for a field goal making the score 24-7. after a fairmont State punt, Hunter was sacked by pack on fourth down. fSU was unable to convert on the defensive stop going three and out. the teams traded punts to begin the fourth quarter before Hunter found Bass for a 43-yard touchdown making it 30-7 Charleston. the Golden eagles picked off Mayer on the ensuing falcon drive and Beard punched it in from five yards away put UC on top 37-7. Mayer took a shot deep on the next falcon possession but UC’s nick watts was able to pick the pass off and seal the victory for Charleston.

fAirmONT, w.Va. -- UnC pembroke took advantage of some early fairmont State miscues and went on to control the game on the ground and roll past the falcons, 38-7, Saturday afternoon at Duvall-rosier field. the Braves ran 78 plays and had more than 40 minutes of possession as they improved to 6-1 on the year. travis Daniels rushed for 128 yards and one touchdown for the Braves.

Drew rossignol scored the only falcon touchdown of the day after scooping up a 35-yard fumble and taking it in for a score. UnCp took the opening possession to the fSU 6-yard line but turned the ball over on downs. the falcons, though, turned the ball over on its possession and the Braves took over deep in fSU territory. five plays later Smith hit Cody Harrington in the back of the end zone for a score. the falcons marched down the field though all the way to the UnCp 2-yard line. a big 25-yard catch by perry Baker helped aid the drive. However, on 2nd-and-goal, Brazill fumbled the ball away to the Braves and UnCp took over. the teams traded possessions for most of the second quarter until the Braves added another tD as Smith hit Jamal williams in the back of the endzone with 2:42 left. the Braves went into the half up 14-0. fairmont State’s Dewey McDonald was able to force a fumble on pembroke’s first drive of the second half and rossignol picked it up and scampered 35 yards to cut the deficit to 14-7. the Braves got a big return on the ensuing kickoff and Daniels was able to punch it in from 10 yards out to put pembroke up 21-7 after three quarters of play. pembroke denied the falcons on fourth down at the four-yard line, after Mayer rolled out looking for Baker and a flag was thrown on the play, but was picked up after being determined as uncatchable late in the third quarter. the Braves took possession and drove 96 yards finishing with Smith finding l.J. Johnson to make the score 28-7. the Braves picked Mayer off on the next falcon drive and were able to get a field goal making it 31-7. fairmont State turned the ball over on downs on its next possession and the Braves were again able to convert when Matt evans scored from 22 yards out to make it 38-7.

Fsu 21, Wv WesleyAn 17

BuCKhANNON, w.Va. -- fairmont State rallied from an early 7-0 deficit and then held off a late wv wesleyan rally to spoil Homecoming for the Bobcats, winning 21-17 on a rain-soaked Cebe ross field. Doug Brazill led a powerful fSU running attack with 19 carries for 100 yards and a pair of touchdowns. Despite missing a pair of starting offensive linemen, the falcons re-found their rushing game pounding out 222 yards on the ground. fSU could’ve piled up more yardage, but the falcons were penalized 14 times for 96 yards. fairmont State committed no turnovers and forced the Bobcats into a pair of interceptions. nate Black had a diving pick on wvwC’s first possession and Brandon tucker came up with one in the third quarter. J.J. Mayer engineered the fairmont State offense going 7-of-12 for 107 yards. Scott victorio turned in a strong rushing performance adding 46 yards on the ground and a touchdown. nate Black was huge defensively for the falcons. He had seven solo tackles, one sack and one interception. luke Black had two tfls, including one sack. wvwC scored first in the first quarter, but the fSU offense got things going late in the first quarter and finally found paydirt early in the second quarter. aided by runs of 17 and 10 yards by Brazill and an 18-yard completion by travis Hawthorne, the falcons took the ball all the way to the Bobcat one. Brazill did the honors plunging in from a yard out. the falcons took control of the game with touchdowns on their first two possessions in the third quarter. Brazill again took into the endzone to cap a 49-yard drive ont he first score, and then Scott victorio did the work going all 42 yards on the drive, capped by a two-yard tD run. leading 21-10, fSU went for it but failed on fourth down. on the very next play, adam neugebauer hit a streaking Jon Meadows for an 80-yard tD to make it 21-17. the falcons were able to eat up over six minutes of possession on its next drive, but did not score. the fSU defense did the rest, though, forcing wvwC out on four downs on its final possession to preserve the victory.

ConCord 15, Fsu 9

fAirmONT, w.Va. -- fairmont State’s defense tamed Concord for most of the afternoon, but red zone turnovers doomed the falcons in a 15-9 loss to the Mountain lions on Saturday at Duvall-rosier field. the falcons held Concord to 20 points under its scoring average, but were unable to send their 10 seniors out with a victory. trailing just 9-0, the falcons had three straight drives deep inside the Concord 20 that ended in turnovers that they could not overcome. fairmont State had two interceptions and fumbled once at the goal line. fairmont State had 293 yards of total offense in the game compared to 273 for Concord. Concord’s Brian Kennedy rushed for 106 yards on 27 carries and one touchdown. Steven Hearons was 7-of-15 for 106 yards and one score. fairmont State got 52 yards on the ground from J.J.

Concord’s rJ anderson led the Mountain lions with eight total stops (seven solo). after the two teams traded possessions, the Mountain lions marched down the field going 86 yards on 16 plays. the extra point, however, was blocked and Concord led 6-0. the defenses controlled the game the rest of the half but Concord added a field goal late in the second quarter to take a 9-0 lead into the locker room. fairmont State got the ball first in the second half and got things on track after Zack page returned the ball 34 yards into Concord territory. at the CU eight-yard line, Mayer looked for Hawthorne in the end zone, but Joe Greenway wrestled the ball from Hawthorne for the pick. Concord went three-and-out on its possession, and again the falcons took it deep into Mountain lion territory. Cody reed got a swing pass and headed for the end zone, but fumbled just as he was about to cross the goal line and Concord recovered. again CU had a short possession and the falcons took over in good field position, but an interception at the 11-yard line ended the drive. fairmont State had the ball for 11 minutes in the third quarter. the teams traded punts early in the fourth, before alex ashley had a 26 yard field goal blocked by Daniel Stone. the Mountain lions were able to take advantage as Hearons found nathan tanner on fourth and goal, but the extra point was blocked by parker Deem and recovered by Brandon tucker who returned it for a defensive pat to make the score 15-2. the falcons wouldn’t go quietly as Mayer was able to find Jeff Smothers from 14 yards out to make it 15-9. fSU was unable to recover the ensuing onside kick and run out the clock to take the 15-9 victory.

Game 11

november 7, 2009 • institute, W.vA.

Wv stAte 27, Fsu 19

iNsTiTuTe, w.Va. -- west virginia State shut down fairmont State in the second half on its way to a 27-19 victory over the falcons in the season finale at lakin field. the falcons had a chance to tie the game in the waning seconds, but a pass on fourth and goal fell incomplete.

the falcons were held to just 56 yards rushing in the game. J.J. Mayer threw for 168 yards and a touchdown, and Derek taylor came off the bench and heaved a 58-yard “Hail Mary” pass at the end of the half for a tD. Zack page provided an 87-yard kick return for a touchdown -- his second kick return touchdown of the season.

the fSU defense held the yellow Jackets to just 81 yards on the ground and 157 yards passing. the falcons held a 282-238 yard advantage in total offense but couldn’t translate that advantage to points on the board. However, fairmont State was -2 in the turnover category throwing two interceptions and not coming up with any turnovers.

nate Black wrapped up his stellar career with 10 total tackles against wvSU, including three tackles for a loss. Greg Underwood led the team with 11 total stops including three tfl. wv State’s Ben valentine led all players with 12 total stops.

fSU got on the board first in the first quarter as Doug Brazill took a short pass to the sideline and broke a couple of tackles and scampered for the 37-yard touchdown. However, alex ashley’s point-after was wide right and fSU took a 6-0 lead.

wv State got on the board with a defensive touchdown as a Mayer pass was batted down at the line of scrimmaged and grabbed by pierce Chatman who went 17 yards for the touchdown. the momentum was short-lived, though, as page took the ensuing kickoff 87 yards for the falcon score. the yellow Jackets added a pair of scores to pull ahead 21-13, but taylor hit Johnson on the desperation throw as the half expired to make it 21-19. fSU tried for a two-point conversion, but the attempt failed.

wv State added a score midway through the third quarter to go ahead 27-19, which would end up being enough as the falcon offense could not get on track for most of the second half. the falcons got the ball with just over three minutes to play, though, and marched the ball down the field to try and tie the game. the falcons got to the one-yard line and appeared to have punched the ball in, but an offensive lineman was called for a false start negating the touchdown and pushing fSU back five yards. on fourth-and-goal, Mayer scrambled to the right, broke a tackle and then moved to his left and tossed the ball to Derek Sevier, but the pass was just out of Sevier’s reach and the ball fell incomplete.

Rustyelliott

athletic Director

as a Marion County native and a fairmont State graduate, no one embodies the passion of falcon athletics like rusty elliott. elliott, who has been associated with fairmont State for nearly three decades, was named athletic director in august of 2007.

last season, three fairmont State teams ad-vanced to nCaa Championships in historic fashion. the men’s and women’s basketball teams made it to the nCaa tournament in the same year for the first time in school history, and the softball team earned its first-ever nCaa tournament bid. in ad-dition to the on-field accomplishments, the nCaa released its graduation rate in January 2010 and fairmont State’s student-athletes boasted the top graduation rate of any school in the state of west virginia. in the Spring of 2010, the fSU athletic department was recognized as the wviaC win-ner in the nCaa Division ii’s Community engage-ment initiative for its efforts in the football season opener against Clarion that saw over 5,000 people make their way to Duvall-rosier field.

in 2008, elliott oversaw an athletic department that saw fairmont State finish third in the wviaC president’s Cup. the men’s golf team once again captured a wviaC title and advanced to the nCaa Championships, the men’s basketball team record-ed 20 wins, the softball team set a school record for conference victories and finished runner-up in the league and the baseball team captured the wviaC Central Division championship. in addition to the athletic successes, fairmont State student-athletes had unprecedented success in the classroom as the cumulative Gpa for all student-athletes was 2.99. He also oversaw major improvements to the basketball arena with the installation of a state-of-the-art scoreboard and renovations to the feaster Center as fairmont State continues its commit-ment to a superior student-athlete experience.

in his first year as athletic director, fairmont State won a pair of conference championships in women’s basketball and men’s golf, with each of those teams advancing to the nCaa tournament. the football team, playing its first season on a brand-new playing surface, finished with a win-ning record and the men’s basketball team finished with 19 victories.

Athletic Directorelliott guided the football program for five years

before accepting the athletic director’s position. in his last season as head football coach he landed six players on the all-wviaC first team – tied for most in the league. the falcons closed the season strong down the stretch, winning three of their last four. in his five seasons, elliott’s players earned first team all-conference honors 29 times.

elliott spent 15 seasons as an assistant coach for the falcons from 1986-2000, spanning the tenures of wally Hood and Doug Sams. in his first two seasons, he served as the wide receivers coach before being promoted to offensive coordinator in 1988. that season, the falcons were the west vir-ginia intercollegiate athletic Conference (wviaC) champions and advanced to the national associa-tion of intercollegiate athletics (naia) playoffs. He remained offensive coordinator for the next four seasons.

from 1994-2000, elliott coordinated the fal-cons’ defensive and recruiting efforts under Sams. the falcons won two wviaC championships (1996 and 2000) during those seven years. the falcons were conference runners-up in 1986, 1987 and 2005.

elliott served as the skill development coach for rich rodriguez at west virginia University during the 2001 football season before taking over the helm of the fairmont State program in the spring of 2002.

“this is home and this is definitely the place i want to be,” elliott says. “i want to be part of the development of this school, this community and this county. that’s a big part of my life, and i want to make this athletic program and this school a re-ally positive thing for the community.”

elliott also served as a temporary instructor in the School of Health and Human performance and had done so for 11 years at fairmont State. elliott received his bachelor’s degree from fairmont State in 1979 and obtained his master’s degree from wvU in 1988.

He taught and was an assistant football coach at north Marion High School from 1980 until 1985. He served under head coach roy Michael at north Marion. the Huskies posted a 57-13 re-cord and won the state championship in 1980 and 1981. north Marion finished as the state runner-up in 1982. from 1981-86, elliott was the head wrestling coach at north Marion. His teams posted a record of 73-26 and won five state champion-ships.

He is married to the former Mary Jo thorne, and they are the parents of two daughters, Devan (15), and addie, (5), and two sons, ryan (13), and Kyle (10).

BarryBlizzard

Commissioner

founded in 1924, the west virginia intercollegiate athletic Conference (wviaC)

rates as one of the oldest leagues at the small-college level. the 16-member conference currently boasts the largest membership of any nCaa Division ii league.

the current membership includes alderson- Bro-addus College, Bluefield State College, University of Charleston, Concord University, Davis & elkins College, fairmont State University, Glenville State College, ohio valley University, Shepherd University, west liberty State College, west virginia State University, west vir-ginia wesleyan College and wheeling Jesuit University. the University of pittsburgh at Johnstown and Seton Hill University joined the wviaC for the 2006-07 sea-son. pitt Johnstown and Seton Hill are the wviaC’s first out-of-state members since 1932.

the wviaC moved into the nCaa Division ii ranks in 1994 after a long affiliation with the naia. the con-ference was the only one in Division ii to place a team in the national quarterfinals in men’s basketball, foot-ball and baseball during the 1998-99 academic year. in 2002 the wviaC, along with two other conferences, became the first league to earn four bids to the nCaa Division ii Men’s Basketball Championship.

Commissioner Barry Blizzard, who has held the post since 1987, led the move into the nCaa. Blizzard, a native of Bramwell, west virginia, previously served as the athletics director at Bluefield State. the long-time conference chief has served in a variety of national leadership positions, including a stint as president of the Division ii Conference Commissioners’ associa-tion. He is currently the chairman of the nCaa Division ii nominating Committee.

alumni of conference members include west vir-ginia State’s earl lloyd (the first african-american to play in the national Basketball association), Salem in-ternational’s Cecil Underwood (two-term west virginia governor) and wheeling Jesuit’s John Beilein (current Michigan men’s basketball coach).

the conference’s basketball tournament is one of the longest-running events in collegiate hoops; the 70th annual event was held earlier this year at the Charleston Civic Center. attendance at the wviaC tournament ranks among the highest in Divi-sion ii. the conference also boasts a 10-station radio network for the tournament.

women’s sports were incorporated into the wviaC during the 1981-82 academic year as the west virginia intercollegiate athletic association was absorbed. Cur-rently, women’s championships are offered in softball, golf, tennis, track, basketball, volleyball, cross country and soccer.

Men’s championships are conducted in football, cross country, soccer, basketball, baseball, golf, tennis and track.

the league was recognized by the State Journal as one of “55 Great things about west virginia” in the magazine’s april edition. the wviaC is headquartered in princeton, w.va.
