Carr wasas previouslypreviously head coach at TylerTyler Junior College. Eastern New Mexico: Mark Ribaudo (Arizona, ‘88)) enters his sixth season as the Greyhound’s head coach, after serving as an assistantstant coach at ENMU for eight years, including a stint as the team’s defensive coordinatorordinator from 1998-2004. It is Ribaudo’s first head coaching position. Player to Watch // Zach Petitt >> Last season, Angelo State was among the nation’s leaders in sacks thanks in large part to departed defensive end Calvin Fance, who racked up 14.0. Who will step up in 2010? Senior defensive lineman Zach Petitt is a likely candidate. The Austin, Texas, native had 16 tackles and 2.5 sacks last season. If history holds true, ENMU will run a lot of plays Saturday and Petitt should have a chance to get his hands on Greyhound QB Wesley Wood.
