He holds a B.S. degree in Physics from Villanova University, and MA and Ph.D. degrees from Temple University in special and general relativity, respectively. He had a distinguished 20-year career at Villanova University prior to becoming president of California University. At Villanova he served as professor of physics, chair of the department of physics, Dean of University College, and Director of Planning. In addition to scholarly publications in scientific journals, Dr. Armenti received the Lindback Foundation Award for Distinguished Teaching in 1978, and was named an American Council on Education (ACE) Fellow in 1992, one of only thirty-two individuals selected nationally for this recognition. His book, The Physics of Sports, commissioned by the American Institute of Physics, remains in print since its initial publication in 1992. Since Dr. Armenti’s arrival at California University in 1992, applications have increased by 90%; average SATs have increased by 113 points; FTE enrollments have increased by 43%; and four-year graduation rates have increased by 94%.

Other University accomplishments since his arrival as president include: creation of an Athletic Hall of Fame; winning the Dixon Trophy as well as three National championships (two in women’s softball and one in women’s basketball); a successfully completed $13 million (first ever) capital campaign; a second capital campaign that is currently on schedule to reach its $35 million

goal; a twenty-fold increase in endowment funds; the adoption by the University of the core values of Integrity, Civility, and Responsibility; the adoption of a University Bill of Rights and Responsibilities; the creation of the University Forum—a new governance structure; adoption of a new general education curriculum; implementation of a $200 million master plan, including: the building of the Eberly Science and Technology Center, the Kara Alumni House, the Duda Classroom Building, a 6,000 seat Convocation Center, and six modern new residence halls; the renovation or expansion of numerous other buildings on campus; and the creation of Global Online, the University’s internet-based outreach to some 2,000 students from around the world. Dr. Armenti has been active with the Commission on Higher Education of the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools, and has served as Campaign Chair and President of the Mon Valley United Way.

THIS IS CAL U

JAMES ADAMSON STADIUM Adamson Stadium is the University’s home for the football and track & field teams. The stadium, which was renovated in the 1990s, has an eight-lane, all-weather track that was renovated in 2002 (including runways), a two-level press box that can accommodate radio and television broadcasts, two large varsity locker rooms, two sets of public restrooms, concession stand, scoreboard with message board capabilities, ticket booths, training room and an equipment room. Just outside Adamson Stadium is the area for the throwing events (javelin, discus, shot put and hammer). The stadium, as well as the surrounding Roadman Park, are undergoing renovations. The former baseball field, adjacent to Adamson Stadium, has been replaced with a larger parking lot that spans the entire ‘home side’ of the stadium. Before the start of the 2009 season, a WaveCam was installed for permanent use at Adamson Stadium, as well as a color video board. Cal U is the first university in the United States to own its own WaveCam.

Cal U has appeared on both ESPNU and ESPN2 while hosting NCAA Semifinal games at Adamson Stadium.

The Vulcans have hosted eight NCAA Playoff football games, including the Division II national Semifinal Games in 2007 & 2008.

Head coach John Luckhardt earned his 200th career win at Adamson Stadium in 2009.

Since 2005, Cal U has posted a 41-7 overall record at Adamson Stadium.

Entering 2012, the Vulcans have won 17-straight games in PSAC West play at Adamson Stadium.

In 10 years at Cal U, John Luckhardt has led the charge in what has been the best run in the history of football at the school. Since taking over the program prior to the 2002 season, Luckhardt has led the Vulcans to three NCAA Regional Championships, two appearances in the PSAC Championship Game, three top-10 finishes and seven-consecutive PSAC West titles. Luckhardt has posted an astonishing 88-33 record (.727) with the Vulcans and is already the program’s all-time winningest coach. In addition to the 88 wins, some other notable accomplishments during his decade with Cal U: only the second coach in PSAC history to direct three-straight teams to the NCAA Semifinals; only coach in Cal U history to post three-straight top-10 final rankings; only the second coach in Cal U history to beat Edinboro, IUP and Slippery Rock in the same season multiple times; only coach in Cal U history to guide the Vulcans to consecutive PSAC Championship appearances. Cal U’s success under Luckhardt has also extended into the classroom. In addition to 10 or more wins in the last five years, the Vulcans have had 68 PSAC Scholar-Athletes and seven CoSIDA Academic All-District selections. On the field, the Vulcans have produced several players who continued their football careers in the professional ranks. In 2011, four players were on active rosters with NFL teams throughout the season with Terrence Johnson becoming the first Cal U player to start a game on Monday Night Football. Last spring, defensive back Tommie Campbell was selected by the Tennessee Titans in the seventh round of the NFL Draft. The Vulcans took a dominant leap as a national power in 2007. Luckhardt directed the Vulcans to a school-record 13 wins, their first-ever appearance in the NCAA Playoffs, an NCAA Regional

Championship and a perfect 11-0 regular season. That season, Cal U featured the top-ranked defense in NCAA Division II and set the then-school record for most points. The Vulcans suffered their only loss of the season in the NCAA Semifinals, while playing on ESPNU at Adamson Stadium against eventual-National Champion Valdosta State. The success continued in 2008, as Luckhardt guided Cal U to another NCAA regional title and the program’s first PSAC Championship since 1984. The Vulcans again lost at home in the NCAA Semifinals on ESPN2 to eventual-National Champion Minnesota Duluth. The Vulcans completed the three-peat in 2009, as they won the NCAA regional crown for the third-straight year. Cal U appeared in the PSAC Championship for a consecutive season behind a record-setting passing attack. The Vulcans won three-straight NCAA post-season games before losing on the road to another eventual-National Champion, Northwest Missouri State. Building a college powerhouse is nothing new to Luckhardt, who built nearby Washington & Jefferson into a national contender in NCAA Division III. Over his 17 seasons with the Presidents, he compiled a 137-37-2 record and guided W&J to 13 Presidents’ Athletic Conference (PAC) titles, 11 appearances in the NCAA Playoffs, five regional championships and two appearances in the Stagg Bowl, the Division III Championship Game. Luckhardt received the American Football Foundation Lifetime Achievement Award in 1998 before being inducted into the Pennsylvania Sports Hall of Fame in 2001. In 2007, he was inducted into the Athletic Hall of Fame at W&J, where he still holds the school record for most career wins

at 137. Luckhardt and his wife, Barbara, reside in Peters Twp., Pa., and have two grown children, Allyson Eckenrode and Matt, and two grandchildren, Mathison Ava Eckenrode and Beatrice Alia Eckenrode. Allyson lives with husband Tim and daughters, Mattie and Reece, in Richmond, Va., and Matt works as an athletic fundraiser at Cal U and lives with his wife Susan.

VULCANS FEATURE OVER 30 NFL REPS AT PRO DAY The Cal U football program welcomed representatives from 22 NFL teams and one CFL team to Adamson Stadium on March 13, as nearly two dozen players from Pennsylvania schools participated in Pro Day. The Vulcans had 11 seniors participate at the annual Pro Day: defensive backs Shawn Anderson, Erik Harris, James Nixon and Patrick Swearinger; defensive linemen Marcus Cook, Kevin Crawford, Thomas Mulabah and Steve Santia; offensive lineman Rishaw Johnson; and wide receivers Chedrick Cherry and Thomas Mayo. Cal U also welcomed nine additional players from across the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC) schools and a pair of FCS players to Adamson Stadium: defensive backs Herschel Thornton (East Stroudsburg) and Gary Tillman (Millersville); defensive linemen Randy Colling (Gannon) and Keir Jeter (Edinboro); linebacker Ian Wild (Mercyhurst); offensive linemen Daryl Kurtz (Bloomsburg) and Rob Stoner (Edinboro); quarterback Chris Lum (Lehigh); tight end Kevin Doty (Lafayette); and wide receivers David Bostic (Edinboro) and Trevor Kennedy (Mercyhurst). The players were tested in a variety of drills conducted at the NFL Combine, such as the 40-yard dash, vertical jump and

three-cone drill, and also participated in position work. The following teams attended Pro Day at Adamson Stadium: Atlanta Falcons, Buffalo Bills, Carolina Panthers, Chicago Bears, Cincinnati Bengals, Cleveland Browns, Green Bay Packers, Houston Texans, Indianapolis Colts, Jacksonville Jaguars, Miami Dolphins, Minnesota Vikings, New England Patriots, New York Giants, New York Jets, Oakland Raiders, Philadelphia Eagles, Pittsburgh Steelers, St. Louis Rams, San Diego Chargers, San Francisco 49ers, Tennessee Titans and the Calgary Stampeders of the CFL. The 2012 NFL Draft is held at Radio City Music Hall in New York, N.Y., this weekend, April 26-28, and broadcasts live on a variety of ESPN outlets and the NFL Network. Over the last two years, three players from the PSAC have been selected in the NFL Draft with former Cal U defensive back Tommie Campbell being selected last season in the seventh round by the Tennessee Titans.

JOHNSON INVITED TO NFL COMBINE

The Cal U football team was represented at the NFL Combine for the second-straight year, as former offensive lineman Rishaw Johnson was invited to participate at the week-long event at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, Ind., from Feb. 22-28. Johnson joined quarterback Josh Portis (2009-10) as the only two players in school history to attend the NFL Combine. Johnson was one of only five players from non-FBS programs invited to attend the annual event, which is attended by the top executives, coaching staffs and player personnel departments from all 32 NFL teams. After previously playing at Ole Miss, Johnson established himself as a dominant offensive lineman at the NCAA Division II level. He started 12 games at right guard in 2011 and was selected as one of the team’s captains. A 6-5, 310-pound senior, Johnson was named a D2Football.com First-Team All-American and received All-America Honorable Mention from Don Hansen. In January, he was chosen to participate in both the East-West Shrine Game and Senior Bowl against the top seniors from across the country. Johnson was one of 55 offensive linemen, including 17 guards, scheduled to work out at the NFL Combine. Among the notable offensive linemen that attended this year’s NFL Combine were USC’s Matt Kalil, Stanford’s David DeCastro and Michigan’s Rimington Trophy-winner David Molk. Johnson and Midwestern State tackle Amini Silatolu were the only two linemen from non-FBS programs invited to the event.

VULCANS PLACE THREE ON ALL-AMERICA TEAMS The trio of Cal U senior offensive lineman Rishaw Johnson, senior wide receiver Thomas Mayo and junior defensive back Rontez Miles received Don Hansen All-America laurels in January. Mayo was named a First-Team All-American and Miles was tabbed a Second-Team All-American, while Johnson garnered Honorable Mention All-America accolades. Mayo led the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC) and ranked second in NCAA Division II with 16 touchdown receptions. He also finished fourth in the country with 1,359 receiving yards – second-most in school history – on 79 catches. A transfer from Concord, Mayo posted his third-straight 1,000-yard season to finish his career ranked No. 11 all-time in NCAA Division II with 4,249 receiving yards. Miles set career highs last season with 71 tackles (51 solo) and five interceptions. He led the team and tied for third in the PSAC in interceptions, while posting 6.0 tackles for loss (TFL), 13 passes defended, eight pass break-ups and two blocked kicks. Miles also received All-America honors in 2011 from the American Football Coaches Association (AFCA), Associated Press (AP) and D2Football.com. One of the team’s captains, Johnson started 12 games at right guard last season after playing the last three years at Ole Miss. He helped anchor an offensive line that yielded only 17 sacks while setting school records for pass attempts and passing yards. Johnson was also selected a First-Team All-American by D2Football.com. The Don Hansen All-America Teams carries out the legacy of long-time small college football advocate Don Hansen, who passed away in 2010. Hansen started and published Don Hansen’s National Weekly Football Gazette for three decades, selecting NCAA Division II All-America Teams for the first time in 1988.

Cal U senior offensive lineman Rishaw Johnson, senior wide receiver Thomas Mayo and junior defensive back Rontez Miles were each named D2Football.com First-Team All-Americans, while senior defensive lineman Thomas Mulabah was selected a Second-Team All-American. The Vulcans led the country with three D2Football.com First-Team All-America selections and also tied for the national lead with four overall selections on the All-America Teams. Johnson was a dominant offensive lineman for Cal U after playing the previous three seasons at Ole Miss. He started 12 games at right guard last season and helped anchor an offensive line that allowed only 17 sacks on a school-record 461 pass attempts. Johnson, who earned all-region laurels from Daktronics and Don Hansen, was voted a team captain and earned All-Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC) West First-Team honors. Mayo was one of the top wide receivers in the country in 2011, finishing second in NCAA Division II with 16 touchdown receptions. He also ranked fourth in the nation with 1,359 yards on 79 receptions. An Associated Press (AP) and Daktronics All-American, Mayo finished his career as the active leader in NCAA Division II with 4,249 receiving yards, while being second among active players with 44 career touchdown catches.

Miles continued to garner honors after his stellar junior campaign in which he was named PSAC West Defensive Player of the Year and an American Football Coaches Association (AFCA) and AP First-Team All-American. He led the team with a career-high five interceptions and established a career best with 71 tackles (51 solo). A 6-1 defensive back, Miles also posted 6.0 tackles for loss (TFL), 13 passes defended, eight pass break-ups and two blocked kicks. Mulabah broke the all-time school record with 39.0 TFL after leading the team with 15.5 TFL and 7.0 sacks last season. He finished sixth on the team, and tops among defensive linemen, with a career-high 70 tackles (32 solo). A three-year starter, Mulabah received All-PSAC West honors for the second-straight time in 2011. The PSAC featured seven players recognized by D2Football.com with five First-Team All-Americans. Last season marked the 12th-consecutive year in which D2Football.com has selected All-America Teams, which are selected by the D2Football.com staff with input from coaches and sports information directors from around the country.

Six senior standouts from the Cal U football team participated in the Don Hansen Bowl on Jan. 14 in Virginia Beach, Va. Senior defensive linemen Kevin Crawford, Thomas Mulabah and Steve Santia, along with senior defensive backs Erik Harris and James Nixon and senior wide receiver Chedrick Cherry were invited to the event. The game was played at Sportsplex Stadium, which features an artificial surface and a 6,000-seating capacity. The trio of Crawford, Mulabah and Santia helped anchor one of the nation’s top rushing defenses in 2011, as the Vulcans allowed only 101.2 yards/game. Crawford finished with 37 tackles (17 solo), 9.0 tackles for loss (TFL) and 5.5 sacks in his second year as the starter. Mulabah posted a banner senior campaign, breaking the all-time school record for TFL after leading the team with 7.0 sacks and 15.5 TFL. Santia finished with 37 stops (19 solo), 10.5 TFL, 3.5 sacks and one interception after starting all 13 games. Harris tied for fourth on the team with 71 tackles (37 solo) and ranked second on the team with three interceptions. He also registered 8.5 TFL, 3.0 sacks and seven passes defended as a senior. Nixon, who played the previous three seasons at Temple, posted 14 stops (eight solo) while playing 12 games with two starts. Cherry ranked second on the team in receiving this season, posting 716 yards and five touchdowns on 55 catches. He finished his career tied for second in school history with 22 receiving touchdowns and was one of only six players in school history to total 2,000

receiving yards. The game is named after Don Hansen, who passed away in 2010 and was a pioneer of national media coverage of small college football.

SIX SENIORS SELECTED TO DON HANSEN BOWL

JOHNSON, MAYO SELECTED TO EAST-WEST SHRINE GAME®

Cal U seniors Rishaw Johnson and Thomas Mayo were selected to participate in the East-West Shrine Game® in St. Petersburg, Fla., on Jan. 28. The 87th-annual East-West Shrine Game® benefited the 22 Shriners Hospitals for Children in the United States, Canada and Mexico. After previously playing at Ole Miss, Johnson quickly established himself as a dominant offensive lineman at the NCAA Division II level. The 6-5, 310-pound senior started 12 games at right guard last year and was selected

one of the team’s captain. He was named to the All-Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC) West First-Team and received all-region laurels from Daktronics and Don Hansen. Johnson was one of 10 offensive linemen (four guards) selected to represent the East at Tropicana Field. In only one year with the program, Mayo registered one of the most prolific seasons for a wide receiver in school history. He ranked second in NCAA Division II with 16 touchdown receptions, while ranking fourth in the country with 1,359 yards on 79 catches. The 6-2, 200-pound wide receiver was selected an Associated Press (AP) and Daktronics All-American after finishing his career ranked 11th in NCAA Division II history with over 4,000 receiving yards. Mayo was one of eight wide receivers chosen to play for the East. Johnson and Mayo were two of only four players from NCAA Division II programs invited to participate in the East-West Shrine Game®. There are 246 former Shrine Game players currently in the NFL, 62 East-West alumni are in the Pro Football Hall of Fame and 44 players from last year’s game were selected in the 2011 NFL Draft. Former San Diego Chargers head coach Bobby Ross led the East, while former Minnesota Vikings head coach Brad Childress guided the West.

CAL U FINISHES NO. 15 IN FINAL AFCA POLL The Cal U football team was ranked No. 15 in the final American Football Coaches Association (AFCA) Top 25 poll, marking the fifth-straight season in which the program finished the year in the national poll. Cal U finished the season with a 10-3 overall record and earned its fifth-straight appearance in the NCAA Playoffs, which is the longest current streak in Super Region One. The Vulcans also earned a share of their seventh-consecutive Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC) West title, which breaks the conference record for consecutive divisional crowns. The Vulcans were one of three PSAC teams, and seven teams from Super Region One, to finish the season in the AFCA Top 25 poll. Conference-champion Kutztown was the highest-ranked PSAC team in the poll at No. 13 with Cal U and Bloomsburg at Nos. 15 and 21, respectively. Regional-champion Winston-Salem State (N.C.), who defeated the Vulcans in the second round of the playoffs, finished No. 3 in the poll after a 13-1 season. Under head coach John Luckhardt, Cal U opened the year No. 12 in the preseason poll and after a season-opening loss moved up to as high as No. 14 in mid-October.

Since head coach John Luckhardt took over the California University of Pennsylvania football program in 2002, the Vulcans have garnered national attention and have been a force to reckon with by winning multiple PSAC West titles and NCAA regional championships. Cal U has also made four-straight appearances in the NCAA Playoffs, while capturing three NCAA regional titles along the way. Even though many think that the recent success of Vulcan football is a first, that could not be more inaccurate as the rich tradition of Cal U football dates back over 110 years. The history of the Vulcan football program extends back to the turn of the 20th century. In 1898, the program transitioned from a club team to a varsity sport. Prior to this, the sport grew in popularity across the country and began to gain interest on campus. The interest shown at the club level provided reassurance that a varsity sport would be a successful program on campus. As the game evolved, so did the Vulcan football program. During the early years of the program, the Vulcans saw many changes and experienced numerous growing pains over the first quarter of the 20th century. Initially, it was believed that participating in collegiate football led to personal growth. The school’s administration and coaching staff stressed the importance of developing courage, determination, self-control, aggressiveness, self-reliance, obedience, quick decision-making, teamwork and physical strength within these young men. The administration felt that the personal growth equated with participation in the program would produce better young men once they left the university. By 1925, Cal football had gained popularity and had become a source of pride for fans, and players alike. With the increase of popularity, the 1930’s brought multiple firsts to the program. In the 1930 season, WMNM radio out of Fairmont, W.Va., broadcasted the game against Fairmont State in a play-by-play format to open the season. This broadcast opened new doors as a way to publicize the sport and help grow the popularity of Cal U football in the region. Two years later, the Vulcans also played in their first night game. The opportunity to play under the lights sparked an interest not only on campus, but also within the surrounding communities. Night games such as these evolved into a community event.

Like most other events during the 1940’s, World War II took precedence over just about

everything and Cal U football was no different. Due to the lack of male students during the war, football was not played and put on hold until 1946. When football resumed in ‘46, the Vulcans produced their most successful year in school history to date. Many people touted the Vulcans as one of the top-16 teams in country as they went undefeated. This success carried into and through the 1950’s, as this was one of the most successful eras of Cal U football. This period also brought in the first thoughts of weight training and out-of-season workouts and practices. Even though there was no regularity to these workouts and practices, coaches and student-athletes alike began to see the advantages. Then in 1958, California produced the only undefeated team in the state and country, making them one of the nation’s elite teams. The 1960’s became a progressive time within the sport. Team rosters were increasing in size, out-of-season workouts and practices were becoming more structured and dedication to the sport was becoming necessary if the student-athlete wanted to be successful. In addition to things changing on the field, multiple changes took place off the field. The program added additional coaches to their staff that focused on teaching certain positions, academic requirements were instituted, and transfers from other high-profile universities such as Maryland, South Carolina and Vanderbilt were accepted to compete for the Vulcans. Cal U was able to capitalize on these changes as it captured the 1968 PSAC Championship, where they tied East Stroudsburg. As Cal U and the rest of the country transitioned into the 1970’s, the Vietnam War affected the football program. Many individuals looked at football as a form of violence and resented it; therefore, not receiving the support it once did from fans and administration. Focus was also taken off of the program from the university administration, which allowed the student-athletes to take more time for their social life. This decrease in dedication to the sport outside of the normal-season practices and schedules resulted in some heart-felt seasons as the Vulcans struggled to

make tallies in the win column. This change, along with the lack of awarded scholarship dollars to the student-athletes, translated into just 18 wins over an eight-year period. However, as the War passed, the football program came back into focus. One bright spot of the 1970’s was the completion of Adamson

Stadium. The new facility provided a place for the program to move to the next level. In addition to Adamson Stadium, university administration was

once again showed its support to the program by hiring its first full-time head coach in Hal Hunter. In what most call the modern era of the game (1980’s forward), the Vulcan program began to take the shape that we currently know. A classroom in Hamer Hall was converted to an office for the sole purpose of football operations and shortly after that, former standout quarterback Jeff Petrucci took over the program and Cal U to started regain the prestige that it had lost previously. Petrucci implemented a regimented weight-training program, out-of-season workouts and an unseen dedication to the program that translated into capturing the 1984 PSAC Championship. The newly found off season dedication to the program produced some great players that consisted of first-team all-conference selections such as Bill Seidel, Dave Diesel, Ken Wysocki, Arthur Motton and Perry Kemp who was also an AP All-American and went on to play for the Green Bay Packers. During the 1990’s, the Vulcans experienced up-and-down success; however, many individual greats graced the field at Adamson Stadium. Wide receiver Vic Shandor was a first team all-conference selection in 1992 and in 1993 wide receiver Ken Cahoon picked up where Shandor left off by being selected as a First-Team All-PSAC and Northeast Region selection. The 1997 squad featured defensive tackle Jon Bolen who received Honorable Mention All-America honors and in 1999, Jason Gross and

VULCAN FOOTBALL HISTORYWesley Cates notched all-conference honors. The 2000’s have brought the Vulcan football program its highest points. Since Luckhardt arrived, the Cal U football program has been arguably the best team in the PSAC. Compiling a 88-33 record since 2002, the Vulcans have featured several All-Americans including Antoine Bagwell, Kirby Griffin, A.J. Jackson, Terrence Johnson, Tim McCutcheon, Rontez Miles and Willie Walker. In 2007, the Vulcans made their first-ever appearance in the NCAA postseason and advanced to the National Semifinals before losing to the eventual-National Champion Valdosta State (Ga.). In 2008 and 2009, the Vulcans found themselves in similar situations by making it to the semifinals of the NCAA Playoffs and losing to the eventual-National Champion. The combination of tremendous student-athletes and a coaching staff that will not settle for anything but the best has a resulted in one of the most exciting times in Vulcan football. With hopes of not only earning a PSAC Championship every year, but also knowing that Cal U football will be one of the nation’s elite generates enthusiasm across the campus. Over the years, numerous Vulcan football

alums have had success after their years at Adamson Stadium. The latest to experience success at the next level is former wide receiver and special teams standout, Dominique Curry. In 2010, Curry signed with the St. Louis Rams of the National Football League. In addition to Curry, former All-American defensive back Terrence Johnson also continued his career on the gridiron by participating in

preseason camp with the New England Patriots and then later being signed to the practice squad of the Indianapolis Colts. In the spring of 2011, Josh Portis was the first Vulcan selected to compete at the NFL Combine in Indianapolis, Ind. In just two seasons at Cal U, Portis established himself, as an elite quarterback by setting the all-time school record for touchdown passes. Gary Butler (2004-07) and Kevin McCabe (2008) also competed in the

spring of 2011 with the area’s newest professional football team, the Pittsburgh Power of the Arena Football League. After a stellar two years at Cal U, finishing in 2005, Antoine Bagwell was signed as an undrafted free agent with the St. Louis Rams in 2006. Wesley Cates, the all-time leading rusher and scorer in school history, also continued his career after his days in a Vulcan uniform. In six years playing in the Canadian Football League, he amassed nearly 5,000 rushing yards and over 40 touchdowns. At Cal U, Cates was a two-time All-American and Cal U Hall of Fame inductee. Going back in time, it is great to know that the football program has produced so many great young men.

Recruited from Charleroi High School, William Lee became one of the top quarterbacks in the history of the football program at California University. In the fall of 2011, he became the first quarterback in 10 years to receive induction into the Cal U Athletic Hall of Fame. Lee was the starting quarterback from the end of his 1963 freshman season into 1966. He guided the Vulcans to a 21-14 victory over Edinboro in his first collegiate start, the season finale of 1963. Two years later the Vulcans and innovative head coach Bill Hepner ranked among the nation’s top 10 in passing offense, and the 1965 team produced the program’s eighth winning season in nine years. During his 1966 senior season Lee passed for 367 yards, then a school record, and he earned PSAC Player of the Week honors in a 27-20 home victory over Lock Haven. The previous school record was 353 passing yards and stood for 13 years. At that time Lee ranked second in total offense among all NAIA players but suffered a season-ending separated shoulder the following week at Waynesburg. He was replaced at quarterback that season by Cal U Hall of Fame inductee Jeff Petrucci. Lee’s primary receiver was another Hall of Fame inductee, Ettore Perri, who scored 27 career touchdowns, another school standard at that time. Cal won four of five divisional games in 1966 and finished second in the PSAC West. In all, the Vulcans achieved three divisional winning seasons during Lee’s collegiate career. Originally from Charleroi, Lee is a 1963 graduate of Charleroi High School. He was an all-conference quarterback under legendary coach Rab Currie and helped the 1962 squad win the section title with a final 8-1-1 overall record. Lee was also a pitcher for the Cougars’ baseball team. His father, the late Frank J. Lee, played football and basketball at Cal and later was an assistant coach under Currie. During his undergraduate days, Lee became a PIAA licensed football official. After earning his bachelor’s degree in social studies and economics in 1967, he taught and coached football for nearly two years at Monongahela High School. Lee then decided to leave the education field and explore the pharmaceutical sales industry where he spent the next 13 years. Lee then made one final career move when he joined his cousin’s business, Lee Supply Co. Here he spent the next 30 years as the company’s environmental sales manager. In 2009, Lee was inducted into the Solid Waste Association of North America’s “Hall of Fame”. He resides in Speers, Pa., with his wife, Mary Lou. The couple has three grown children - Billy, Michelle Schwerha and Michael.

A native of Pittsburgh, Terry O’Shea not only made a name for himself on the gridiron, but he also developed into one of Western Pennsylvania’s premier businessmen. After graduating from Seton LaSalle High School, he was a dynamic player for the Vulcans and was inducted as a member of the second-ever Cal U Athletic Hall of Fame class in 1996. At 6-4 and 235 pounds, O’Shea became one of the top tight ends in the country and became the standard by which tight ends are measured at California. By redshirting in 1984, he was able to have a first-hand view of Cal U winning the first outright PSAC title in program history (The Vulcans previously finished tied with East Stroudsburg in the 1968 PSAC Championship Game). A three-year starter from 1986-88, O’Shea earned All-PSAC First-Team laurels each year. During his senior season, O’Shea ranked fifth in the PSAC with 42 receptions for 553 yards and three touchdowns.
