79TH SHSU HOMECOMING FOOTBALL GAME Sam Houston hosts its 79th homecoming football game Saturday in a 7 p.m. duel with McNeese State at Elliott T. Bowers Stadium. Since the first SHSU alumni event was played at Joseph Pritchett Field in 1931, the Bearkats stand 37-41-1 in SHSU homecomings. The Kats’ record on the artificial turf at Bowers in homecoming games is 17-9 with SHSU riding a three-game homecoming win streak. However, McNeese State has proved to be a tough homecoming foe. In their six appearances at Bearkat homecomings, the Cowboys have won five times (1994, 1998, 2000, 2002 and 2008). SHSU’s only homecoming win over McNeese came in 1996.

COMCAST SPORTSNET HOUSTON TV GAME Saturday’s game is being televised on Comcast SportsNet Houston, a new regional sports network based out of Houston and will have a six state regional coverage area. The network launched on Oct. 1 and will also be the new home of the Houston Astros and Houston Rockets.

SERIES WITH McNEESE STATE McNeese State is the “winningest” Southland football team with 151 victories. They also have the most Southland football titles with 13 including six since 2001. They also lead the league in NCAA Division I playoff appearances with 14. The Cowboys lead the all-time series 24-8-1, Bearkats won 38-14 last year in Cowboy Stadium. McNeese has never lost football games to Sam Houston in back-to-back seasons. The only time SHSU has ever won two games in a row over the Cowboys was in 1958 and 12 years later when the series was renewed in 1970.

BEARKAT RADIO KSAM 101.7 FM will broadcast all Sam Houston games home and away again. The broadcast also may be heard anywhere in the world online at www.gobearkats.com. Streaming video of home games at Bowers Stadium is also available at a modest rate.

SAM HOUSTON AT BOWERS STADIUM The Bearkats own a 98-42-1 record on their home artificial turf at Elliott T. Bowers Stadium. The facility was opened in 1986. The Kats went 9-0 at Bowers Stadium in 2012 during their 14-0 run to the NCAA Division I National Championship Game. The feat marked the sixth time SHSU has gone unbeaten in a season at Bowers. The other five seasons were 1986 (6-0), 1987 (4-0), 1990 (4-0), 2001 (6-0) and 2004 (8-0). Sam Houston won it’s 2012 season opener at Bowers on Sept. 8, defeating Incarnate Word 54-7 before 11,016 fans, the largest regular season crowd ever at the facility.

The perfor-mance marked Flanders’ third time to score three or more touchdowns in one game.l Linebacker Jesse Beauchamp totaled nine tackles including two for 10 yards in losses and a quarterback sack to lead an SHSU defense that produced its second shutout in the past two seasons (the other a 66-0 win over Lamar last year). Sam Houston limited Nicholls to 20 yards rushing and 238 total yards. Beauchamp recovered two Colonel fumbles. One of the recoveries set up SHSU’s second touchdown. He also had two pass breakups.l Wide receiver Trey Diller showed his stuff on special teams with a 30-yard kickoff return to open the third quarter and a 49-yard punt return. Both plays set up Bearkat touchdown drives. The senior also caught seven passes for 72 yards to lead SHSU in receiving. Diller now leads Southland in KO returns (30.5 average) and is third in punt returns (10.7)

SOUTHLAND PLAYERS OF THE WEEK Sam Houston State swept the weekly Southland Conference football player of the week honors after its 51-43 win over SFA a week ago and picked up a fourth honor this week as junior linebacker Jesse Beauchamp received “Defensive Player of the Week” honors. Beauchamp recovered two fumbles, both of which set up SHSU touchdowns, and totaled seven tackles including two for losses in the Kats’ 41-0 shutout of Nicholls State last Saturday in Thiboudaux. Junior quarterback Brian Bell was the offensive player of the week, junior cornerback Bookie Sneed won defensive honors and senior punter Matt Foster was the special teams player of the week after the Kats’ 51-43 win over rival Stephen F. Austin Oct. 6. Bell picked up 22nd career victory as starting quarterback for Sam Houston against SFA, directing the offense to 51 points. Sneed returned an interception 92 yards for touchdown that put SHSU in the lead, 20-14, with 5:55 remaining in 2nd quarter. . Foster helped Sam Houston win the field position battle with a 45.1 average, including long of 61 yards. The senior from Melbourne, Australia, landed three punts inside the 20.

SAM HOUSTON PRESEASON SOUTHLAND PICK Sam Houston is the favorite to repeat as Southland Conference champions according to the 2012 preseason poll of the league’s head coaches. The Bearkats’ 2011 Southland football championship was their fourth in the program’s 25 years in the league. However, the first three were co-championships, making the 2011 title the Bearkats’ first undisputed league crown.

EXPERIENCED BEARKATS Sam Houston has 29 players with at least one start in the lineup. Bearkat offensive players have combined for 248 total starts while the defense has totaled 265. Ten Bearkats have totaled more than 20 starts in their careers.

SEVEN ALL-AMERICANS Seven Bearkat players were named to at least one NCAA Division I FCS All-America squad this season -- Tim Flanders (6 selections); Darnell Taylor (5); Travis Watson (3); Dax Swanson and Chris Crockett (2 each) and Richard Sincere and J. T. Cleveland (1 each). All but Crockett and Watson return.

PRESEASON ALL-SOUTHLAND CONFERENCE Eighteen Sam Houston players have been named to the 2012 pre-season All-Southland squad voted upon by the league’s coaches. Tim Flanders and Richard Sincere, the league’s player of the year and offensive player of the year, respectively, along with Darnell Taylor, the reigning defensive player of the year, head the list. Other SHSU first-team selections include defensive linemen J.T. Cleveland, Andrew Weaver and Gary Lorance and defensive backs Taylor, Kenneth Jenkins and Daxton Swanson.

Second team picks include tight end T. J. Jones, offensive lineman Matt Boyles, defensive lineman Preston Sanders, linebacker Darius Tay-lor, defensive backs Bookie Sneed and Robert Shaw and punter Matt Foster. Flanders, Sincere and Darnell Taylor both are on the preseason watch lists for the 2012 Walter Payton (offense) and Buch Buchanan (defense) awards.

BLOCK PARTY RETURNS A Bearkat tradition established by head coach Willie Fritz when he was an assistant at Sam Houston in the early 1990s has returned. The SHSU “Block Party” produced six blocks last season and three this year. Preston Sanders has a PAT and FG block while Vincent Dotson blocked a punt against Texas Southern. The school record for blocks in one season is five by Trey Woods (1993) and DeJuan Davis (2002). After Fritz started the “Block Party” in 1991, Sam Houston blocked 80 punts, field goals and extra points in the 14 seasons up to 2004.

WILLIE FRITZ WINS AFCA “COACH OF THE YEAR” AWARD Sam Houston head coach Willie Fritz was named as American Football Coaches Association NCAA Division I FCS “Coach of the Year”, the Southland Conference “Coach of the Year” and American Football Monthly FCS “Coach of the Year.”

LAST YEAR’S 14-1 BEARKAT RECORD The Bearkats rolled up 14 consecutive wins to earn the program’s first No. 1 national ranking and a berth in the NCAA division I national championship game in Frisco. North Dakota State defeated SHSU 17-6 in the finals before a sellout crowd of 22,000 at FC Dallas Stadium. Sam Houston was the only squad out of 126 FCS teams to finish the regular season 11-0. Sam Houston ranked among the top 10 teams in the nation in nine NCAA statistics categories, standing No. 1 in rushing defense, No. 2 in scoring defense and turnover margin and No. 3 in total defense. The 14 victories, the most ever in one season by the Bearkats, included a perfect 7-0 Southland Conference record as SHSU earned its first undisputed Southland football championship. Sam Houston posted wins over five nationally-ranked opponents and went 9-0 at home at Elliott T. Bowers Stadium, one of 26 school records set during the 2011 campaign. Seven Sam Houston players received All-America honors. Fifteen Bearkats earned All-Southland Conference honors with Flanders, Sin-cere and Taylor sweeping league honors as Player-of-the-Year, Offen-sive Player-of-the-Year and Defensive Player-of-the-Year, respectively. Flanders rushed for 1,644 yards and 22 TDs and was named to six All-America squads in 2011. Taylor led SHSU with 128 tackles and was selected All-America on five honor teams. Other All-America honorees included Sincere, offensive linemen Travis Watson and Chris Crockett, defensive back Dax Swanson and defensive lineman J. T. Cleveland. The Kats were tops in the classroom as well. Sam Houston led the Southland Conference with seven selections on the 2011 academic all-league squad. Watson, a senior political science major, was named Southland Conference Student-Athlete of the Year and was a finalist for the National Football Coaches Association Scholar Athlete of the Year post-graduate scholarship award. Sam Houston head coach Willie Fritz received football’s top coach-ing honor as American Football Coaches Association (AFCA) FCS Coach of the Year. After directing the Kats to their best two-year record in 96 seasons of football (20-6), Fritz also was voted as Southland Conference, AFCA Regional and American Football Monthly Coach of the Year.

Sam Houston Football - Page 6

Willie Fritz directed Sam Houston State to a 20-5 record in his first two seasons as Bearkat head football coach. The 20 wins rank as Sam Houston’s most victories in a two-year span. Fritz earned Southland Conference “Coach of the Year” and American Foot-ball Coaches Association “Regional Coach of the Year” honors after Sam Houston State ran off 14 consecutive victories to earn the Southland Conference cham-pionship and a berth in NCAA Division I National Championship game. The 14 victories stand as the most in one season in Sam Houston’s 96 years of football. Combined with a pair of wins at the end of the 2010 schedule, the Bearkats’ 16-game winning streak is the longest in school history and was the longest cur-rent streak in FCS play going into the national championship final. Fritz, who has produced an overall record of 157 victories, 57 losses and one tied as a head coach, became the 14th head football coach at Sam Houston State University on December 18, 2011. In his two seasons, he has taken a program that went 5-6 the year before his hiring to a 14-1 mark, the No. 1 seed in the NCAA Division I playoffs and a No. 2 final national ranking in 2011. Sam Houston’s 14 victories included a perfect 7-0 Southland record to give the Bearkats their first undisputed Southland title. During his 30-year career, Fritz has been part of programs both as a head coach and an assistant that have rolled up an overall record of 240 wins, 84 losses and five ties. The record includes nine appearances in post-season play (bowl games or playoff appearances) and 10 conference titles. Fritz came to Huntsville from the University of Central Missouri were he ranked as the “winningest” coach in the Mules’ 113-year football history. Fritz rolled up a 97-47 record in 13 seasons as Central Missouri head coach. In 11 of those seasons, Central Missouri posted winning records. He is the only Central Missouri head coach to produce eight consecutive seasons of seven or more wins. Fritz served as a graduate assistant for Bearkat squads that went 16-6 in 1984-85 and won the 1985 Gulf Star Conference championship He was the secondary and special teams coach for the Bearkats in 1991 and 1992, helping lead Sam Houston to a Southland Conference championship and starting a special teams success tradition that lasted more than a decade. The “block party” saw Kat special teams block 80 punts, field goals and extra points in the 14 seasons from 1991 to 2004. From 1993 to 1996, Fritz was head coach at Blinn College where turned around a program that had gone 5-24-1 in its three previous seasons. In just a short time, he produced a 39-5-1 record and two national junior college cham-pionships. For his efforts at Blinn, Fritz has been inducted into the NJCAA Hall of Fame. As head coach at Central Missouri, Fritz led the Mules to their first post-sea-son berth in 32 years when they defeated Minnesota-Duluth in the 2001 Mineral Water Bowl. A year later, Central Missouri earned its first NCAA Division II playoff berth after winning the Mid-America Athletic Association (MIAA) championship. Fritz coached 152 All-MIAA performers including 41 first team selections and 24 All-Americans. Fritz ranks No. 15 among active NCAA Division II head coach in victories. In his 13 years at UCM, the Mules enjoyed an 84 percent graduation rate with three Academic All-Americans, 14 Academic All-Region and 144 MIAA Commis-sioner’s Academic Honor Roll selections. Fritz was the second member of his family to coach at Central Missouri. His father, the late Harry Fritz, was the Mules’ head football coach in 1952 and later become executive director of the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA). Fritz played college football at Pittsburg State University where he was a four-year starter as a defensive back and played on two conference champion-ship teams. He was a student assistant coach for the Gorillas in 1982 and was an assistant football coach at Shawnee Mission Northwest High School in Kansas in 1983 and at Willis High School in Texas in 1986 and was defensive coordinator at Coffeyville Community College in Kansas from 1987 to 1990.
