2013 HBCU National Champions 5

Entering its 64th year, the Ohio Valley Conference continues to build on the success that has made it the nation’s eighth-oldest NCAA Division I con-ference. For only the second time in a decade, the Conference expanded by adding Southern Illinois Universi-ty Edwardsville as the league’s 11th member in 2008. The move expand-ed the OVC’s geographical footprint to the St. Louis market and marked the first change in membership since expanding to the state of Alabama (Jacksonville State, Samford) in 2003. The 2009-10 school year saw a change in leadership as Beth De-Bauche was named the seventh full-time Commissioner in league history. She is currently one of just five fe-males to be the head of a Division I conference, and one of just eight to lead a Division I conference all-time. The last three commissioners of the OVC have moved onto jobs as the commissioner of the Big Ten, Big 12 and the Mid-American Conferences. The OVC’s proud past dates back to 1948, but seeds for the new league were actually planted in 1941. It was then that Roy Stewart, the athletics director at Murray State, Charles (Turkey) Hughes, the athletics di-rector at Eastern Kentucky, and Kel-ly Thompson, the public relations director at Western Kentucky, first broached the idea of forming a new conference. Discussions were put on hold by World War II, but reemerged Feb. 27-28, 1948 at the Kentucky Hotel in Louisville as the three orig-

inal institutions combined with Morehead State, Louisville and Evansville to form the OVC. In the 1950s, the OVC became a pioneer on a much more significant scale socially. During times of racial segregation, league member Morehead State became one of the first non-traditionally black mid-southern institutions to ac-cept a black student. In 1958, Marshall Banks earned athletically-related aid at Morehead, which signed a second black athlete, Howard Murphy, a year later. In 1961, Murphy earned all-conference recognition as a halfback in foot-ball. With racial barriers broken, the rest of the institutions in the league began to provide educational and athletic opportunities to African-Americans.

A first in the OVC occurred in 2008, when the league had a first round draft pick in both the NFL (Tennessee State’s Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie) and Major League Baseball (Eastern Kentucky’s Christian Friedrich) Drafts in the same school year. The OVC sponsors the following sports: baseball, basketball, cross country, football, golf, tennis and track for men, and basketball, cross country, golf, soccer, softball, tennis, track and volleyball for women. In addition, the OVC also sponsors the combined men’s and women’s sport of rifle.

WORKWORK



KEAN HALL, a simplifi ed Art Deco style gymnasium erected in 1951 at a cost of $1,500,000 was dedicat-ed Wednesday, November 25, 1953.

The structure is located on the south side of the campus at John Merritt Boulevard and 33rd Avenue, North and is named after former TSU Football head coach and Athletic Director, Henry A. Kean.

The building contained at the time of its construc-tion: a gymnasium, health, physical education and recreation classrooms, laboratories, staff offi ces, and facilities for indoor intramural sports, staff and student recreation and physical therapy. The build-ing was vacated in 1980 when the HPER moved to the new Gentry Center Complex.

The $300,000 renovation, approved in 1986-1987, connected the building to the Floyd-Payne campus center in 1991. The building became a recreational facility for the general campus population. It also serves as the headquarters for the Air Force ROTC, TSU Athletics and the academic and Hall of Fame.

The PERFORMING ARTS CENTER is located adjacent to the east side of the existing Strange Music Building. The facility houses the Theater, Television, Radio and Music Departments and includes a complete renovation of the Strange Music Building.

A performance theater seating for 400 was constructed as part of the new building. Theater department spaces include classrooms, support spaces and offi ces. Rehears-al and production facilities are provided for television and radio departments, as well as offi ces and support areas.

The music department has new laboratory facilities, practice rooms, classrooms, offi c-es and an expanded band practice room and support facilities. The project included ap-proximately 30,400 sq. ft. of renovated space (the Strange Music Building) and 43,000 sq. ft. of new construction.

The DAVIS BUILDING is topped by its landmark cupola and houses the Department of Languages, Literature and Philosophy and the Thomas E. Poag Auditorium. The building, which once housed the administrative offi ces, is named after TSU’s second president Dr. Walter S. Davis.



The FLOYD-PAYNE CAMPUS CENTER contains various student and administrative offi ces, campus bookstore, post offi ce, and dining services. The Center is named after former TSU student and fi fth president, Otis L. Floyd, and long-time Dean of Students and Vice-President of Student Affairs, Joseph A. Payne.

The AVERITTE AMPHITHEATER located in the center of campus; landscaped and has permanent seating for 200. The structure is named after Laura M. Averitte, author of Tennessee State Univer-sity’s alma mater.

The BROWN-DANIEL LIBRARY was erected in 1976 and opened for service during the summer of 1977.

This present structure has 82,000 square feet of space with spe-cial study and research facilities for faculty and graduate stu-dents, and a Special Collections Room which houses the Univer-sity’s historical archives, theses, dissertations, and other special materials. The library is named in memory of Library Directors, Martha M. Brown and Lois H. Daniel.



Glenda Glover joined the University Jan-uary 2, 2013, as its eighth president. Glover previously served as the Dean of the School of Business at Jackson State University.

A licensed attorney and certifi ed public accountant, Glover earned her bachelor’s degree in Mathematics from TSU in 1974, an MBA from Clark Atlanta University in 1976, the J.D. from Georgetown Univer-sity Law Center in 1994 and her Ph.D. in Business Economics and Policy from George Washington University in 1990.

President Glover served at Jackson State University since 1994 and led the Col-lege of Business to implement programs leading up through the Ph. D. degree. Her guidance has included the development of retention strategies and ensuring com-pliance with accreditation standards.

President Glover has also played an im-portant role in fundraising for the college, leading a successful $5 million initiative and obtaining the university’s fi rst en-dowed chair. She spearheaded the im-plementation of online learning programs, developed the university’s internal fi scal accountability measures and served as a key liaison to local and national elected offi cials.

Before joining Jackson State, she began her full-time academic career as chair

person of the accounting department at Howard

University in Washington, D.C., from 1990-1994. She went to Howard after serving in increasingly responsible roles in industry, including as chief fi nancial of-fi cer and senior vice president of Metter Industries, manager of investor relations for the Potomac Electric Power Co. in D.C., and accountant at Arthur Andersen in Memphis.

President Glover has served on the boards of directors of several private and public companies, including First Guaran-ty Bancshares, Student Loan Corp., The Lenox Group, Regions Bank of Missis-sippi, Jackson Municipal Airport Authority, and Economic Analysis. Dr. Glover has also served as a member of the Board of Directors of MetroJackson Chamber of

Commerce, Chairperson of the City of

Jackson Planning Board, District of Co-lumbia Housing and Community Devel-opment Advisory Board, and member of the Harvard Business School Manage-ment Alliance. She is a recipient of the Drum Major for Justice Award, Distin-guished Woman of the Year Award, Dean of the Year Award, and Most Outstanding Philanthropist.

Along with her academic and administra-tive accomplishments, President Glover has been published in several highly re-garded journals and refereed proceed-ings, and made numerous presentations at professional meetings and confer-ences. She has also served as an editori-al advisor for one of the most prestigious journals in the accounting profession.

Teresa Lawrence-Phillips became head of the Tennessee State University athletics department in April of 2002. As director, the athletic department has made tremen-dous strides on the playing fi eld, campus, community and classroom.

Some accomplishments under the Phillips’ administration include the launching of the fi rst offi cial website for TSU Athletics in August of 2002, the revitalization of the Big Blue Booster Club, the recognition of Ohio Valley Conference Scholar Athletes, and conference championships in volley-ball, women’s track including a PGA mi-nority national championship in men’s golf.

Phillips also has the distinction of being the fi rst woman ever to coach an NCAA Division I men’s basketball team en route to being named one of the “101 Most Infl u-ential Minorities in Sports” by Sports Illus-trated in 2003.

She was also named as the Second Most Infl uential Woman in Sports in Tennes-see by The Tennessean newspaper. In addition, she was named USA Today’s National Coach of the Year in 1990 and was a three-time OVC Coach of the Year selection.

No stranger to athletic success, she was head coach of the Lady Tigers basketball program at TSU for 11 seasons from 1989-2000. Phillips guided the 1993–94 squad to the program’s fi rst-ever OVC regular season crown, the Ohio Valley Confer-ence tournament championship, and the team’s fi rst appearance ever in the NCAA tournament.

Phillips and her staff enjoyed their most successful season in 1994–95 as the Lady Tigers (22–7, 12–4 OVC) shared the reg-ular season title. TSU claimed its second consecutive tournament title and a trip to the NCAA tournament.

She has been invited twice to serve as an assistant coach for USA Basketball (1995 and 1999) and was invited to serve as an assistant coach for the U.S. Olympic Fes-tival North Squad.

Prior to her stint at TSU, Phillips was head coach at Fisk University for four years. She guided the Bulldogs to WIAC League and Tournament Championships in 1987 and 1988 and was tabbed WIAC Coach of the Year twice (1987, 1988). She compiled a 68-34 overall record with the Bulldogs.

She graduated from Vanderbilt Universi-ty with a bachelor’s degree in Economics before obtaining a Masters in Education from TSU in 1999. Phillips, who helped re-cruit six All-Americans and seven All-State players, served as an assistant coach with the Lady Commodores (1981-1984) win-ning the N.I.T. in 1983.

Phillips earned several honors as a three-year letter winner at Vanderbilt. She was the fi rst recipient of the Lady Commodore Athlete of the Year honor, given to the best all-around female athlete. In addition, she received the Nashville Civitan’s Sports-manship Award in 1979 and 1980.

Community oriented, Phillips has assisted with the National Youth Sports Drug Pro-gram and has been appointed to sever-al boards and committees which include: NCAA Basketball Rules, NCAA Champi-onship Cabinet, Fellowship of Christian Athletes, Boys’ & Girls’ Club, the Vander-bilt Alumni Advisory Board and the Nash-ville Sports Council Executive Board.

She has held memberships in several orga-nizations, including the Black Coaches As-sociation, the Women’s Basketball Coach-es Association, the NCAA Championship and Competition Cabinet and Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc.

She is an inaugural member of the Girls’ Preparatory School Sports Hall of Fame and a 2008 inductee of the Lookout Moun-tain Sports Hall of Fame. She lives in Nash-

The Tennessee State football team enjoyed its fi nest season in nearly 30 years in 2013, by making it to the second round of the FCS Playoffs. The Tigers also placed second in the Ohio Valley Conference, which was the highest fi nish for the team since winning the league in 1999. To add to the accolades, Big Blue also took home the Historically Black College National Championship, as the squad was the fi rst HBCU to win a postseason game this millennium.TSU head coach Rod Reed enters his fi fth campaign at the helm of the Tigers having posted a 10-4 mark a year ago. Reed returns 12 starters from 2013’s unit and having guided his team to at least two more wins in each of the four years prior, he expects his team to be playing into January this upcoming season.

QUARTERBACKS

There could be quarterback con-troversy again this year as last season, Ronald Butler and Mi-chael German split time under cen-ter. Butler played in all 14 games, making 10 starts, en route to be-ing named Second Team All-Ohio Valley Conference. The freshman completed 59 percent of his throws

and passed for 1,405 yards and 13 touchdowns. Rising redshirt senior Mike German also tossed 13 scores in 2013, which was the most in the FCS without an interception, but only started four contests. With an-other solid season, German could hone in on the school’s passing touchdown and yardage records held by Joe “747” Adams. Incom-ing transfers O’Shea Carter and Nathaniel McGill also could see some solid playing time in the fall.

BACKFIELD

One player’s dream of being the starting running back for TSU

will come true in the fall after Tim Broughton graduated and Telvin Hooks was sidelined with an injury last winter. Vying to win the covet-ed spot is sophomore Tevin Spells who impressed coaches as a fresh-man, but had to wait his turn. He had just 85 yards on 18 carries a year ago. Senior Martine Steven-son is another option following his position change from cornerback to halfback. The speedy Stevenson returned a kickoff for a touchdown last year at FAMU, but just has nine career carries – all during his fresh-man season. Another back to keep an eye on is Tom Smith, a Univer-sity of Tennessee transfer, who to-

taled 67 yards on six touches in the Spring Game. Reed also added Miz-zou transfer Greg White and Michi-gan grad student Stephen Hopkins.

RECEIVERS

The Tigers return one starting wideout from a year ago in Ryan Mitchell. Mitchell had a breakout junior campaign, snagging a team-best 35 passes for 632 yards and seven touchdowns. TSU will also welcome back senior Weldon Gar-lington (16 receptions, 159 yards and three touchdowns) and soph-omore Chris Sanders-McCollum (seven catches, 80 yards and two scores). In the offseason, the Ti-gers added JUCO transfer Ha-keem Parker and moved running back Darion Hall to the position.While the returning wideout core looks solid, the Tigers will have to replace a pair of prolifi c tight ends, A.C. Leonard and Wesley Sam-uels. Leonard bolted for the NFL Draft following an All-American caliber junior campaign in which he caught 34 passes for 441 yards and fi ve scores. Samuels was a big target for TSU quarterbacks in the redzone last year, as six of the senior’s 24 grabs went for touch-downs. Junior Joe Bowens will be asked to shoulder most of the load after amassing 442 yards and a pair of touchdowns on 35 recep-tions during his fi rst two seasons.

OFFENSIVE LINE

The offensive line will look a little bit different this season with the omissions of left guard Kadeem Edwards and center Demetri-us Rhaney. Both graduated from TSU and were selected in the NFL Draft in the fourth and sev-enth rounds, respectively. The pair helped block for Tim Broughton who rushed for 1,146 yards (25th-most nationally) and six touch-downs. They also protected a quarterback duo that combined for 26 passes touchdowns and

only four interceptions. The good news, is the Tigers should be okay at both tackle spots with senior Rob-ert Myers holding down the right side and former University of Florida Gator Jessamen Dunker slotted at left. Also, Derek Sibley emerged as a staple at right guard towards the latter part of last season. Backup center Jhaquelle Love should move right up into a starters role, but the other guard spot is up for grabs between redshirt freshmen Jordan Sidney or Evan Clay, or upper class-men Kevin Kenton or James Lewis.

DEFENSIVE LINE

The defense was the backbone of the 2013 team and ranked sixth nationally in total defense (296.9 yards/game) and seventh in scor-ing defense (18.1 points/game). That all started up front where reigning OVC Defensive Player of the Year Anthony Bass ranked 29th nationally in sacks/game (0.7) and overall on the season had 34 tackles, 14.5 tackles-for-loss, 10.0 sacks, two forced fum-bles and recoveries, six quarter

back hurries, four pass break-ups, a blocked kick and a safety. He will be back for his senior sea-son as well as opposite defensive end Detorrius Shipley. Shipley had a fi ne campaign, too, totaling four sacks, fi ve tackles for loss and 34 stops on the year. The interior of the line should be stout once again as both Samquan Evans and Dinsdale Jackson will be on the fi eld again this upcoming season. Evans had 40 to-tal tackles in 2013, 10 of which were for loss, while Jackson added 27 and 3.5. Sophomore Rod-ney Edwards and redshirt fresh-man Baron Poole should also see plenty of time at tackle, as both held their own in practices.

LINEBACKERS

The Tigers lost both outside line-backers Greg Barksdale and Wilson Robinson due to graduation, but re-turn the captain of the defense Nick Thrasher. Thrasher was named All-OVC in 2013 after amassing 110 tackles, the most for TSU since 2002. The senior also racked up 12 tackles for loss while forcing and



recovering three fumbles. Thrash-er now has 230 career tackles which puts him sixth in the school record books, and just 16 away from cracking the top-fi ve. With two starters gone, Thrasher will be asked to do more this season, but Reed has done a good job of get-ting some up-and-coming players some playing time. Among that group are Mike West and Jus-tin North who both saw action in all of Tennessee State’s 14 con-tests. The duo combined for 29 stops and 3.5 tackles for loss in limited playing time, but West’s 20 wrap-ups were just shy of starter Robinson’s 21. Outside of West and North, redshirt junior Antonio Justice Jr. and true junior Chadwick Wil-liams could see the fi eld quite often.

CORNERBACKS

D’Ante “Pop” Saunders and Bernell Brooks both return at cornerback this upcoming season, after start-ing 17 games combined in 2013.

Saunders was named to the OVC All-Newcomer Team follow-ing a year in which he intercept-ed four passes and even ran one back for a touchdown at UT Martin. The junior also made 39 tackles and broke-up a team-high nine pass-es. For Brooks, he tallied a pair of picks, one on the road at Jackson-ville State and the other off of future NFL draftee Jimmy Garoppolo, and had 20 stops. While most of the tal-ent is back, the Tigers will have to replace Steven Godbolt and nickel-back Andrew Taylor. TSU has a host of players to weather the depar-tures, but the experience of senior Andrew Dale could pull rank and command the most playing time.

SAFETIES The two safeties were perhaps the strongest unit for TSU in 2013, as Daniel Fitzpatrick was named All-American and David Van Dyke signed a contract with the NFL’s Kansas City Chiefs after the sea-

son. All Fitzpatrick did last year was lead Division I players (FBS or FCS) with eight interceptions. The strong safety fi nished the year second on the team with 75 tackles (52 solo), 5.5 TFL and eight pass breakups. Van Dyke had one interception in each of TSU’s fi rst four contests, forced a fumble and was third on the squad with 58 stops. Fitzpat-rick is back for what is sure to be a stellar senior season, but the Ti-gers must replace Van Dyke’s pro-duction. Converted cornerback Ronnie Vinson is most likely slot-ted for the free safety job following solid campaigns. Other possible safety options are JUCO transfer and early enrollee Vann Williams and sophomore Everett Nicholas.

SPECIAL TEAMS

Redshirt freshman placekicker Cam-eron Carter could have the hardest job on the team in 2014, trying to replace the school’s all-time points leader and the fi rst Big Blue kicker to be named to the All-OVC Team Jamin Godfrey. Godfery canned 18 fi eld goals last season alone and fi nished his career with 317 points. To make things harder for Carter, holder Devin Wilson is no longer on the team following his graduation, leaving punter Leon Holderhead the team’s fi rst option. Holderhead, a senior from Australia, punted 73 times for an average of 38 yards per kick and booted 10 punts longer than 50 yards. TSU would like to uti-lize Holderhead less often this sea-son, but he should be better in year two of Division I football. Saunders emerged as the team’s top punt re-turner towards the end of the sea-son, catching 33 kicks for 190 yards, while Stevenson earned the kickoff returner spot after amassing a 23.3 yard average on his 18 tries in 2013.

In 2008, at Delaware State, his unit helped lead the Hornets to a No. 2 MEAC ranking in pass effi ciency defense (79.5 rating). The ’08 Hor-nets were also third in the league in pass defense, allowing 144.1 yards-per-game.

During DSU’s 2007 MEAC championship season, his unit helped the Hornets earn a No. 9 national ranking in pass effi ciency defense with a 105.33 rating. DSU was 13th in the country in scoring defense (18.4 ppg) in 2007. His ’07 secondary also featured All-MEAC First Team selection Akeem Green, among the league leaders in interceptions and defended passes.

Before joining the Hornets, Sanders was an assistant coach at two Dekalb County (Ga.) high schools.

In 2002, he was a member of the Canadian Football League Saskatch-ewan Rough Riders.

Sanders began his coaching career as a graduate assistant (second-ary) at Tennessee State University in 2000.

Sanders earned a bachelor’s in criminal justice from Tennessee State in 2000. He and his wife Wajehah have two daughters, Khalia and Kaden, and a son, Omarii.

It’s a homecoming of sorts for Russ Ehrenfeld after spending three seasons at Chattanooga.

Ehrenfeld replaces Steven Smith, who accepted an assistant offensive line positing with the Kansas City Chiefs. Returning to Tennessee State in March 2012, Ehrenfeld brought an immediate impact to UTC in his fi rst season.

He helped the Mocs allow only nine sacks in 2009, tied for fewest in the Southern Conference and third lowest in the nation. UTC did not allow a sack for the last four games of the season, including a trip to FBS National Champion Alabama in the season fi nale.

In 2010, he turned his attention to the centers and guards, helping T.J. Hurless earn a spot on the All-SoCon second team. Add in Chris Harr and Ehrenfeld has guided two Mocs to all-league honors in his two years at UTC.

In 2011, Ehrenfeld coached tight ends, helping the Mocs to a 5-6 over-all record, including a 38-17 win at then ranked No. 10 Jacksonville State on Sept. 10. Faysal Shaffat was a 2011 All-Southern Conference freshman tight end for the Mocs.

In his fi rst stop at TSU, Ehrenfeld’s offensive line set the tone for the No. 1 rushing offense in the Ohio Valley Conference while allowing just the second fewest number of sacks in the league. All totaled, he has coached more than ten offensive lineman that have gone on to play professionally.

Ehrenfeld previously coached the offensive line at TSU for three sea-sons (1997-99), helping the Tigers capture back-to-back OVC champi-onships in 1998 and 1999. Notably, four linemen from the 1999 team went on to play in the NFL.

A native of Hillside, N.J., Ehrenfeld played four seasons at Chattanoo-ga, helping the Mocs claim three SoCon titles as a starting offensive guard. He earned his bachelor’s degree in secondary education-his-tory in 1981.

Following graduation, Ehrenfeld’s fi rst coaching position was at TMI Academy as the offensive line coach. His fi rst collegiate position was as a graduate assistant at the University of South Carolina, where he had the opportunity to coach the Gamecocks in the 1984 Gator Bowl. Since then, he has also coached at Austin Peay (1985-87, 95-96), Itawamba Community College (1988-89), Southeast Missouri State (1990-92), Eastern Michigan (1993-94), Alabama State (2000) and Bucknell (2001-02).

The Tennessee State Tigers play two home

games in one of the nation’s finest sports ven-

ues in LP Field, sharing the facility for home

games with the National Football League’s

Tennessee Titans.

The state-of-the-art facility has served as

home of the Tigers and the Titans since the

1999 season. LP Field is located on the east

bank of the Cumberland River in downtown

Nashville.

LP Field, which seats approximately 69,143

fans, boasts incredible amenities, ranging

from spacious and tastefully appointed locker

rooms to massive scoreboards. The natural

grass field was rated as the fourth best playing

surface in the NFL in a poll conducted among

league players in 2001.

LP Field has 144 luxury suites and 9,600 club

seats with access to the stadium club and club

lounges. There are also approximately 7,500

parking spaces on the site.

LP Field grounds are also designed to help

create a park-like setting along the

Cumberland River, not just a showplace for

bland concrete and asphalt. More than 205

trees have been planted on the 105-acre cam-

pus.

Tiger fans gather early and stay late to enjoy

tailgating on LP Field grounds. In addition to

games featuring the Tigers and Titans. LP Field

also hosts college football’s annual Music City

Bowl in late December. LP Field hosts concerts

and other special events during the course of

a year.

In 2012, the Tigers will play their 14th season

at LP Field. Since beginning play in the state-

of-the-art NFL facility in 1999, the Tigers have

posted a 35-25 record in games played at LP

Field.

Hale Stadium is a 15,000-seat outdoor stadium located on the campus of Tennessee State University. Built in 1953 and affectionately nick-named “The Hole”, the stadium hosted TSU Tigers football games until 1999, home games were then moved to LP Field, home of the Tennessee Titans.The facility was named for William J. Hale, who served as TSU’s first president. It remains in use as the site of TSU’s annual spring football game, as well as hosting Homecoming festivities. The stadium hosted a second-round NCAA Division I-AA playoff game in 1982, with the Tigers defeating Eastern Illinois University 20-19 in front of a crowd of 8,000. During their years at Hale, TSU Football went

undefeated ten times, won ten championships in the now-defunct Midwestern Conference and claimed the Ohio Valley Conference championship in 1998, its final season in the stadium.In the last game at Hale Stadium, Tennessee State won 28-14 over Texas Southern University on November 21, 1998.

The John Merritt Classic, fi rst played in 1999, honors John A. Merritt, the legendary TSU football coach who led the Tigers from 1963-1983. During 21 seasons, “Big John” won four undisputed national championships among histor-ically black colleges ranked by the Sheridan Poll, while compiling a lifetime record of 172-33-1.

The JMC, one of only two football Classics solely hosted by a single NCAA FCS institution, is intended to allow Tennes-see State to raise funds for scholarships and other related needs for TSU students.

In July 2007, the Nashville Sports Council and the Ohio Valley Conference announced the creation of the Sergeant York Trophy which goes to the winner of the quadrangular season football series between the four Ohio Valley Conference schools located in the state of Tennessee – Austin Peay State University, University of Tennessee at Martin, Tennessee State University and Tennessee Technological University.The award is only the second traveling trophy that involves more than two teams in college sports; the other is the Commander in Chief’s Trophy which has been contested between Air Force, Army and Navy annually since 1972.In a close race, Tennessee State and Austin Peay shared the inaugural award, finishing with identical 2-1 records in 2007. Tennessee State took the trophy home thanks to a one-point victory in overtime over the Governors; that game was decided by a block extra point by NFL First Round Draft Pick Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie. The Tigers repeated as champions in 2008, winning all three of its Sgt. York games.The award is named in honor of Alvin C. York, the most noted Soldier of World War I. As a corporal in the 2nd battalion, 328th Infantry, in the Battle of the Meuse River-Argonne (Oct. 8, 1918), York and seven other soldiers captured 132 prisoners, was promoted to sergeant and received the Distinguished Service Cross, the French Croix de Guerre, the French Legion of Honor, the Croce di Guerra of Italy and the War Medal of Montenegro. Upon his return to the United States in 1919, he was bestowed the Congressional Medal of Honor.Following the war, York returned his home in Pall Mall, Tenn. (located in north central Tennessee, 55 miles northeast of Cookeville) where he dedicated his life to improving education and facilitating educational opportunities for children in the state of Tennessee. In 1927, he established the Alvin C. York Institute after spending several years raising money for the school which opened as a private institution. That school was established, in part, to provide educational opportunities denied to the boys and girls of Fentress Country. In 1937, the Institute became a state special school after an appeal to the Tennessee State Legislature. The school, located in Jamestown, Tenn., is still in operation today.York died on Sept. 2, 1964 and the foundation which he helped establish in 1920 – The Sergeant York Patriotic Foundation – was dormant for many years. The Foundation was re-established by Lipscomb Davis, Jr. in 1992 and is currently run by Sgt. York’s grandson Gerald (U.S. Army Colonel, Retired). York’s papers are archived by Michael E. Birdwell, Ph.D., who is an associate professor of history at Tennessee Technological University, one of the four institutions that will compete for the yearly honor.After the completion of the football season, the Sergeant York Trophy is awarded to the institution with the best head-to-head record in the match-ups with their fellow Tennessee schools. In the event of a tie, the award is shared; however, the previous winner will retain the trophy if they are part of the tie. If the tie is between two other institutions, the trophy will go to the institution that has gone the most seasons without winning the trophy. The award is presented to the winning institution annually at the Pepsi Celebration of Champions which is hosted each spring by the Nashville Sports Council. The event was
