hard at work
Even though it is the middle of the basketball season, both Behrend
Men's Coach Dave Niland and Women's Coach Roz Fomari are
thinking about the future. When considering the future of a college
team that means recruling.
Niland stated that is at times very difficult recruiting at the
Division 111 level since no scholarships are offered. But still Niland
and Assistant Coach John Gorman travel far and wide looking for
talent.
"We have brought in a quality group of freshman in for this
season," stated Niland. We need to bring in another quality class so
we can continue to improve the program."
The recruiting process is not a short event. It take long hours to
Find the special player that could make or break a program.
"We start the recruiting process very early,” explained Niland. I
spend all summer traveling to camps scouting for players."
Niland explained that "we try to recruit good student and people not
only just good players.”
In the women's program, Fomari has also been hard at work
recruiting future stars for the program.
Fomari already has four players committed to Behrend for next
season. The four include; Yolanda Hopkins, a point guard from Erie
Central H.S.; Julie Mimm, a guard from Girard H.S.; as well as two
more guards; Amanda Higgins from Monessan H.S. and Briana
Kribel from Clarion Area H.S.
The list is also very long of players which are considering to attend
Behrend. The list is topped by Kelle Lerch, as' 11" post player from
Erie Central. Fomari felt Lerch could become a dominating post
player at Behrend.
Fomari explained that "the pool of players to recruit from this year
was much bigger than usual. There is so many players in this area
that have the opportunity to become stars."
A quality that makes the Behrend women's program appealing is a
chance receive ampel playing lime.
"Even though we do not offer a J.V. program, if a player works
hard, she will get a chance to play. I like to have a deep bench and I
use it often," said Fomari.
A giant asset that both Fomari and Niland can boast about to
recruits is that Behrend offers a Penn State degree. Since the Penn
State degree is well-known throughout the country, it makes Behrend
just that much more appealing.
So with the dedication and hard work of both Niland and Fomari, it
looks like both basketball programs are in Tine shape for seasons to
come.
A change in
the works
CHAPEL HILL, N.C. (CPS)-University of North Carolina’s
ram trademark has received a new hom job and a more determined
gleam in his eye, thanks to some cosmetic surgery by a New York
designer.
“Basically, the old ram is pushing 50 years old,” said University of
North Carolina’s contracts administrator Biruta Nielsen, who
manages UNC’s trademark licensing program. “It has a dated look.”
The new ram logo, unveiled Nov. 27, was designed by the
Manhattan firm known for designing athletic logos. The firm first
met with the campus groups, including athletes, student stores and
auxiliary services, to determine the image the university wanted
portrayed
“I’d say it’s a more determined-looking ram,” Nielsen said. “We
specifically didn’t want any fangs or claws.”
The new logo shows a ram head bursting through an interlocking
“N” and “C,” with the words “Caroline Tar Heels” wrapped around the
“C.”
And just in case you ever wondered how UNC got nicknamed the
Tar Heels anyway, there’s no one answer, say UNC officials.
The moniker may date back to Revolutionary Times, when British
Gen. Cornmallis and his troops were forging the Tar River and
discovered tar had been poured to impede their progress. Or, it may
come from Civil War Gen. Robert E. Lee, who blessed the “Tar Heel
boys” for sticking to their posts as if they had tar on their heels.
UNC is one of several schools currently undergoing logo changes,
said Keith Little, director of compliance of the Collegiate Licensing
Co. Other universities include Virginia, Maryland, Florida, St.
Johns, Alabama-Birmingham and Adams State College.

that’s what we need from him,”
said Head Coach Dave Niland.
Sutton averaged 12 points and
shot 5-8 from three point range
leading Behrend to the
championship of the Hamot

grow and he did a super job,” said
