  • History of Belle Vernon Area High School Football (1965-2015)
    History of Belle Vernon Area High School Football (1965-2015) Author’s notes: This history is not intended to be a definitive study of Belle Vernon Area High School football but a summary of the past 50 years of the spirited sport in the Belle Vernon community. As a lifelong resident of the Mon Valley and one who has lived Belle Vernon Area athletics, I had the advantage of knowing the football coaches and players through the years. It is hoped that this work inspires a history of other Mon Valley high schools and their storied football past rich in memorable coaches, players and games. Belle Vernon Area High School football has an interesting history in connecting generations with an array of colorful coaches who developed fine talent into champions competing in conference play. BVA has named three alumni as its head mentor, including Gary Dongilli who holds a winning record of 71-11 spanning seven seasons, Lou Rood, and Aaron Krepps. Moreover, several Belle Vernon Area alumni have distinguished themselves as professional athletes in Bill Contz, Scott Zolak, and Joe Rudolph. National recognition followed Penn State’s Craig Fayak and Bill Contz, Notre Dame’s Jason Murray, Pitt’s Marlon McIntyre and Erik Gill, Wisconsin’s Joe Rudolph, and Michigan’s Scott McClintock. Big 33 Classic Football selections from BVA, symbolizing the best athletes in Pennsylvania since 1956, are an elite core: Jim Bair ‘66, Gene Belczyk ‘69, Bill Contz ‘79, Marlon McIntrye ‘81, Craig Fayak ‘90, Scott McClintock ’01, 1 Jonathan Fowler ’03, Dorian Johnson ’13 and Devin Hannan ‘15.

  • 1967 APBA PRO FOOTBALL SET ROSTER the Following Players Comprise the 1967 Season APBA Pro Football Player Card Set
    1967 APBA PRO FOOTBALL SET ROSTER The following players comprise the 1967 season APBA Pro Football Player Card Set. The regular starters at each position are listed first and should be used most frequently. Realistic use of the players below will generate statistical results remarkably similar to those from real life. IMPORTANT: When a Red "K" appears in the R-column as the result on any kind of running play from scrimmage or on any return, roll the dice again, refer to the K-column, and use the number there for the result. When a player has a "K" in his R-column, he can never be used for kicking or punting. If the symbol "F-K" or "F-P" appears on a players card, it means that you use the K or P column when he recovers a fumble. Players in bold are starters. If there is a difference between the player's card and the roster sheet, always use the card information. The number in ()s after the player name is the number of cards that the player has in this set. See below for a more detailed explanation of new symbols on the cards.

  • An Aw Shucks Guy: Billy Shaw
    THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 21, No. 4 (1999) An Aw Shucks Guy Pro Football Hall of Fame Class of 1999 By Joe Horrigan Guard Billy Shaw, once describcd as an "aw shucks sort of guy from Mississippi,” makes perfect strangers feel instantly comfortable with his polite disposition and broad smile. His friendly demeanor makes it difficult to believe that this gentle giant was one of pro football’s toughest competitors. However, when the game whistle blew and the ball was snapped, Shaw's "Mr. Nice Guy" nature metamorphosed to an aggressive, focused lineman, with one thing on his mind, winning football games. "When you played against Billy," remembers Kansas City Chiefs Hall of Fame linebacker, Bobby Bell, "you brought your lunch. He played every down to the maximum. He was relentless." A 6-2, 258-pound All-America lineman out of Georgia Tech, Shaw was the second-round pick of the Buffalo Bills in the 1961 American Football League draft and a fourteenth-round pick of the Dallas Cowboys of the then-rival National Football League. It wasn't that the Cowboys failed to recognize Shaw’s potential when they selected him in the late round. It was simply a calculated risk on their part. "I had already signed with Buftalo when the National Football League held their draft," Shaw explained. "In those days, people didn't know if the AFL would last the year, and I guess the Cowboys wanted to be able to claim me." Since the AFL did survive, the Cowboys never got their chance to claim the two-way Georgia Tech star, whose steadying influence on the Bills led the team to consecutive AFL titles in 1964 and 1965.

  • Afc Notes Undefeated Bengals Aim for First Ever 7
    AFC NOTES FOR USE AS DESIRED FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION, 10/27/15 CONTACT: JON ZIMMER http://twitter.com/NFL345 UNDEFEATED BENGALS AIM FOR FIRST EVER 7-0 START The Cincinnati Bengals have reached 6-0 for the third time in franchise history and first time since their 1988 AFC Championship season, when the team advanced to Super Bowl XXIII. “We have a lot of good players maturing at the same time,” says tackle ANDREW WHITWORTH. “There’s still a long way to go, but I think that’s showing.” As the 2015 NFL season approaches the midpoint, Cincinnati is one of five remaining undefeated NFL teams this season and can become the first Bengals team to reach 7-0 in the history of the franchise. Cincinnati is the only AFC North team to begin a season 6-0 since realignment in 2002.

Quarterback ANDY DALTON has played a pivotal role in the Bengals’ undefeated start, displaying an ability to perform under pressure at home and on the road, regardless of the score. In Week 3, he threw two go-ahead touchdown passes in the fourth quarter on the road in Baltimore, including the game- winning seven-yarder to wide receiver A.J.

    INFORMATION TO USERS This manuscript has been reproduced from the microfilm master. UMI films the text directly from the original or copy submitted. Thus, some thesis and dissertation copies are in typewriter face, while others may be from any type of computer printer. The quality of this reproduction is dependent upon the quality of the copy submitted. Broken or indistinct print, colored or poor quality illustrations and photographs, print bleedthrough, substandard margins, and improper alignment can adversely affect reproduction. In the unlikely event that the author did not send UMI a complete manuscript and there are missing pages, these will be noted. Also, if unauthorized copyright material had to be removed, a note will indicate the deletion. Oversize materials (e.g., maps, drawings, charts) are reproduced by sectioning the original, beginning at the upper left-hand comer and continuing from left to right in equal sections with small overlaps. Each original is also photographed in one exposure and is included in reduced form at the back of the book. Photographs included in the original manuscript have been reproduced xerographically in this copy. IDgher quality 6” x 9” black and white photographic prints are available for any photographs or illustrations appearing in this copy for an additional charge. Contact UMI directly to order.
