The Cardinals went 14-1 in 2019, en route to their first national title, as they defeated UW-Whitewater, 41-14. The Cardinals did not play in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Oddly enough, all four North Central selections were part of the College Football America Yearbook’s 2020 Starting Lineup — running back Ethan Greenfield, wide receiver Andrew Kamienski, offensive lineman Sharmore Clarke and defensive back Jake Beesley. Many of the members of this year’s Starting Lineup are tapping into the extra year of eligibility provided to all players due to COVID-19. Other players that made the Starting Lineup include Muhlenberg quarterback Michael Hnatkowsky, Saint John’s wide receiver Ravi Alston, Hardin-Simmons offensive lineman Boomer Warren, Delaware Valley defensive lineman Michael Nobile, Rose-Hulman linebacker Michael Stevens and Mary Hardin- Baylor defensive back Jefferson Fritz. The Division III section of the College Football America 2021 Yearbook features 36 pages of content including: • National Division III preview; • Division III preseason Starting Lineup; • Update on each Division III conference; • Capsules for every Division III team, including 2020 results and 2021 schedules; • More than 10 color action, coach and stadium photos.

  • Joe Cannavino
    Professional Football Researchers Association www.profootballresearchers.com Joe Cannavino This article is by Budd Bailey. Joe Cannavino had a relatively brief football career, and was never exactly a household name. Still, he deserves plenty of credit for one quality: he knew how to exit the stage. Cannavino had his best moments in his final game as both a college and pro player. Joseph Patrick Cannavino was born on January 20, 1935 in Cleveland, Ohio. He stayed in that city throughout his childhood, attending Collinwood High School on Cleveland’s East Side. Joe is one of eight people from Collinwood as of 2020 who reached the NFL. The latest of them was Cecil Shorts, who played for three teams in the 2010s. Cannavino was one of those three-sport standouts that were relatively common in those days. He piled up eight letters in high school, and also played for the basketball and baseball teams. However, Joe did his best work as a Railroader for the football team. Cannavino played both ways (defensive back and running back), and was an all- conference pick. No wonder he was eventually selected to the school’s Hall of Fame. 1 Professional Football Researchers Association www.profootballresearchers.com Along the way in school, Cannavino met a woman named Irene who eventually became Mrs. Irene Cannavino. He graduated from Collinwood in 1953. If you were a good high school football player in Ohio at that time, chances were pretty good that you’d get a phone call from Ohio State football coach Woody Hayes or one of his assistants.

    SUP 2014 First, last names, uniform numbers and position of starting players, listed in the order in which they are to bat. Exception: First names may be omitted from the written lineup card as long as they are printed on the card’s roster. First, last names and uniform numbers of all eligible substitutes. First and last name of the head coach, or co-head coaches. Each team must submit a complete lineup card to the plate umpire at the pregame meeting at home plate. Confirm that the lineup card has players first, last names and positions listed along with all substitutes. Make sure there are no duplicate numbers. Make sure there are at least 9 or10 players listed in the starting position. If the DP/FLEX is used, verify with the coach the player listed as the DP is the one who will hit for the FLEX in the 10th spot. DP : Plays Offense FLEX : Plays Defense Bats for the FLEX Can play defense for any player. Run for the DP. Hit for the DP. She can only run for the FLEX. She can only bat for the FLEX. She may play defense for any player. Players not listed on the lineup card are not eligible to play. All players listed in the starting lineup must be in uniform, in the dugout area and are available to play at the start of the game. The umpire may ask for the lineup card to be corrected before accepting it as official. As a preventative measure to avoid possible re-entry eligibility infractions, prior to the game, circle all starters that are listed on the bottom of the line up card.
