CURTIS WALKERHead Coach

Curtis Walker became the Head Football Coach at Catawba in December of 2012. He returned to his alma mater after spending one season as the defensive coordinator and linebacker coach at Western Carolina University. Prior to his year in Cullowhee, Walker spent 10 years as the defensive coordinator and linebackers coach at Coastal Carolina University. During Walker’s 10 seasons in Conway, the Chanticleers had four players on the defensive side garner All-America accolades, while players within his defense earned a combined

44 All-Big South accolades as the Chanticleers captured three straight Big South Conference titles (2004-06). Coastal also won the league championship in 2010. Under Walker, Coastal led the league in pass defense in 2006, ‘07 and `08. On the strength of 18 interceptions in `07, the Chanticleers ranked sixth nationally in turnover margin (1.36). In 2006, Coastal’s defense tied for the national lead with 19 interceptions. Walker’s defense led the nation in pass efficiency defense and contributed to the top turnover margin in the country, setting a Big South record at plus 22. Coastal twice led the nation in interceptions, getting 19 in 2006 and 27 in 2004. Walker was a four-year starter and three-time All-American linebacker for Catawba in 1989-92, graduating in 1992 with a degree in sociology. He was inducted into the Catawba Sports Hall of Fame in 2004 and into the South Atlantic Conference Hall of Fame in 2008. Walker was Catawba’s team most valuable player in 1991 and served as team captain in 1992. Walker still holds the Catawba single game record for tackles with 25 stops against Wofford in 1991. He also still owns the all-time single season record for fumble recoveries with six, also set in 1991. Walker earned All-America honors his final three seasons, including first team accolades as a senior in 1992. Following graduation from Catawba and a two-year coaching period at Salisbury High School, Walker joined the staff at Catawba in 1995. He coached the linebackers and began coordinating all recruiting in 1997. Walker was promoted to defensive coordinator in 2001 and the Indians were ranked first in Division II in scoring defense and 15th in total defense. At Catawba, Walker was a part of three South Atlantic Conference championships (1996, 2000 and 2001) and three NCAA playoff appearances (1999, 2000 and 2001). The Indians were a combined 22-3 in 2000-01, a lot of the success due to a suffocating defense. Catawba allowed just 13.5 points per game during those 25 games. A native of Burlington, NC, Walker was a two-time football all-conference performer at Graham High School, prior to graduating in 1988. He was the Mid-State Conference Defensive Player of the Year in 1987. Walker and his wife, Sheka, have two sons; Jalon (9) and Curtis II (7).

CATAWBA’s LAST GAME: Mike Sheehan threw an 11-yard touchdown pass to Carlos Tarrats, lifting Catawba to a 37-34 double overtime win over host Newberry on Saturday night at Setzler Field in both teams’ South Atlantic Conference football opener. The Catawba Indians improve to 2-1 overall, while the Wolves fall to 1-2. The final pass marked the second time on the night that Sheehan and Tarrats hooked up for a score and came after the Indians held Newberry to a field goal on its offensive possession. Both teams scored a touchdown in the first overtime. Catawba was the first to score on a one-yard run by David Burgess. The Wolves survived after getting a pass interference call on fourth down then tying the game when W.T. Murden threw a touchdown pass to Jalen Cook. Sheehan completed 15-of-26 passes for 241 yards and the two touchdowns, both to Tarrats. He also ran for a score. Tarrats totaled four catches on the night for 67 yards. Tyler Hamilton made five receptions for 41 yards. Cary Littlejohn topped the 100-yard mark with 117 yards on 11 carries. Murden had four touchdown passes for Newberry, completing 26-of39 passes for 321 yards. Byron Dickerson made five catches for 95 yards and two scores. Cook also had five catches along with Jackson Swindler. Ryan Barnwell led a balanced rushing attack with 53 yards. Catawba had a chance to win at the end of regulation in a frantic final few minutes. On the final play of regulation Chad Hollandsworth had his 35-yard field sail just wide to the right after a high snap. The Indians could have had a better opportunity a minute earlier, but a fumble on a handoff at the Newberry five denied the chance. Rai Smith got the ball right back for the Indians, intercepting Murden on the first play. The teams played to an even first half, going to the locker room tied at 17-17. Each team scored on their opening drive. Newberry drew first blood as Murden connected with Dickerson for a 37-yard score. Catawba was backed up to its own 10 to start its initial drive, but Littlejohn ripped off a 77-yard run to set the Indians up at the Newberry eight. After a pair of negative plays, Sheehan threw a 15-yard pass to Tarrats for an apparent touchdown, only to have it called back for a penalty. The duo came right back on the next play for a 20-yard score to tie the game. The Wolves retook the lead in the second quarter, cashing in a 14-play, 70-yard drive on another pass from Murden to Dickerson. This time from 17 yards away. Catawba answered on its next drive, aided by a roughing the kicker penalty on a punt. Two plays after the penalty, Trey Mashore raced 35 yards for a touchdown. The teams traded field goals in the final six minutes of the half. Kyle Clark connected from 21 yards for Newberry and Hollandsworth from 41 yards away for the Indians. The Wolves missed a chance to take lead at the end of the half, but Clark missed from 40 yards. Catawba took its first lead of the night midway through the third quarter on Sheehan’s 23-yard run at the 7:47 mark. Sheehan had set up the opportunity with a 51-yard completion to Brandon Brown. Newberry answered as Murden threw a 45-yard pass to John Gadson then a five-yard TD pass to Ozzie Exume. That would be all the scoring until the overtime. The teams combined for nearly 1,000 yards of offense. Newberry had a slight edge 489 yards to 471 yards for the Indians. Jason Taylor had a huge game on defense for Catawba making 16 tackles, including two for losses. Ed Robinson had 10 stops with a sack.

A LOOK AT CATAWBA Catawba is 2-1 on the season after reboundind from the loss at Western Carolina to top Newberry 37-34 in a double-overtime thriller. The Indians are finally set for its home opener at Shuford Stadium after starting the season with three straight road games. This week’s opponent is nationally-ranked Carson-Newman. It is the ninth time that Catawba will face a ranked Eagle squad since the AFCA began its coaches poll in 2000.

SHEEHAN DOUBLES UP Sophomore quarterback Mike Sheehan was once again named the South Atlantic Conference Offensive Player of the Week after the win over Newberry. It is the second time in three games this season that Sheehan has earned the honor. He was also the league Player of the Week after the opening win over Davidson.

TAYLOR NABS SAC HONOR Senior linebacker Jason Taylor was named the SAC Defensive Player of the Week following his 16-tackle performance in the win at Newberry. It equaled a career-high for Taylor, who also made 16 tackles last year at Carson-Newman. Taylor has posted double-digit tackles in nine games over his career.

OPENING SAC WIN Catawba picked up a win in its SAC opener for the first time since 2010 when the Indians topped Wingate 35-28. The Indians have faced Newberry in its league opener the past three seasons.

LITTLEJOHN ECLIPSES 100 Junior running back Cary Littlejohn became the first back to reach the 100-yard plateau in a game this season. Littlejohn ran for 117 in the win at Newberry. The junior had one 100-yard game last season which came at Brevard when he went for 146 yards.

TARRATS FINDING THE END ZONE Sophomore wide receiver Carlos Tarrats added two more touchdown catches in the win at Newberry. He now has four TD grabs in his 11 receptions and has caught a scoring pass in each of the first three games. Tarrats has now caught a TD pass in four straight games dating back to last year and seven of the last eight.

WILLIAMS HAS BIG DAY IN CULLOWHEE Junior Gary Williams had a career day at Western Carolina, catching seven passes for 94 yards and a touchdown. Williams has returned to receiver after playing as a corner back last year as a sophomore.

DEFENSE DOMINATE IN SECOND QUARTER AT WCU Western Carolina used two big plays to score a pair of first-quarter touchdowns against Catawba, but other than that the defense was up to the test against the Catamounts. In the second quarter, the Indians allowed a total of just 27 yards and two first downs.

OFFENSE ROLL UP NEAR 500 YARDS AT DAVIDSON Catawba amassed nearly 500 yards of total offense in its opening win at Davidson. Of the 484 yards, 305 came on the ground. That was the first time Catawba had ran for over 300 yards since a 362-yard performace against Lenoir-Rhyne in 2008.

SHEEHAN NEAR PERFECT IN THE AIR Sophomore quarterback Mike Sheehan missed on just one pass against Davidson, completing 12-of-13 attempts. The lone misfire went to Gary Williams, who couldn’t get a foot down in bounds resulting in the incompletion.

INTERCEPTION RETURN SWINGS MOMENTUM Sophomore linebacker Jamal Lackey turned in one of the biggest plays of the game at Davidson as he intercepted a pass and returned it 67 yard for the game’s first score. It was the second pick returned for a TD for Catawba in the last three games, dating back to Trey Evans against North Greenville last year, which sparked the comeback win over the Crusaders.

INDIANS RECEIVING AFCA VOTES With its 2-1 start to the season, Catawba is receiving votes in the AFCA Coaches Poll in the latest rankings. Catawba grabbed two points in the most recent poll.

SHEEHAN ONE OF LEAGUE’S TOP PASSERS Mike Sheehan continues to stay among the SAC leaders in several quarterbacking categories. The sophomre leads the league in touchdown passes (7) and completion percentage (.640) and ranks second in total offense (248.7) and passing efficiency (162.4).

TAYLOR LEADS SAC IN TACKLES Senior Jason Taylor has moved into the SAC lead in tackles per game. Taylor, after posting 16 tackles at Newberry is averaging 9.7 stops per game. Senior Philip George stands fourth in tackles as he is making 8.3 tackles a contest.

INDIANS SEEING YELLOW Through the first three games of the season, Catawba has been whistled for the second most penalties in the conference. The Indians have been whistled for 32 penalties for 271 yards. Only Newberry, who was flagged 16 times last week in the game against Catawba, ranks lower.

CHASING 1,000 Cary Littlejohn needs 250 yards to reach the 1,000-yard plateau for a career. After just two carries as a freshman, Littlejohn led the team last year with 574 yards on the ground. He would join 36 other players who have reached that mark at Catawba.

TWO SET TO CLIMB RECEIVING LIST Senior Tyler Hamilton and sophomore Carlos Tarrats should be climbing up the career reception list in 2014. Hamilton is up to 63 career catches, while Tarrats has 56 receptions. Twenty players in school history have caught 80 passes in a career with 15 reaching 100 receptions.

TOP TACKLER Senior Jason Taylor led the team last season with 105 tackles and is out to become the seventh player on record to post 300 stops in a career. Individual defensive tackle statistics were not kept on a regular basis until 1984. Taylor currently has made 253 career tackles.

FAMILIAR FACES Catawba’s offensive line returns intact from a year ago. The slated starting five features senior center Taylor Fender, junior left tackle Lewis McCormick, junior left guard Tim Buck, sophomore right guard TJ Olsen and sophomore right tackle Brandon Floyd. Fender has been a starter for all 33 games over his previous three seasons. He made 22 starts at right guard in his first two years then after making a few starts at left guard last season he moved to center. McCormack has 22 starts at left tackle the last two years. Buck made eight starts in 2012 at right tackle before starting at center, then left guard in his 11 starts last year. Olsen and Floyd both started seven games last year. Olsen saw a couple of starts at right tackle before moving to right guard, while Floyd had all of his starts at right tackle.

JEFFERSON CITY, TN -- Catawba went the near length of the field in the final three minutes then withstood a missed Carson-Newman field goal in the final seconds to claim a 25-22 upset win over the 10th-ranked Eagles. The Indians prevailed for only the third time at Burke-Tarr. Catawba trailed 19-16 late in the game when Catawba held the Eagles and got an 18-yard return from Terence Williams to the C-N 36. Danny O’Brien found Quan Rucker to the seven on the first play then David Burgess scored for a 22-19 edge with 4:21 to go. Carson-Newman came right back on the heels of an 81-yard kickoff return by TraShaun Ward to the Catawba 12. De’Andre Thomas eventually scored from a yard out with 2:34 remaining to put the Eagles back in the lead. Catawba got the ball back at its own 12 and faced a fourth down after three incomplete passes. On fourth down, O’Brien found Bruce Smith for 18 yards. He then tossed a 13 yard strike to Nate Charest and found Tyler Hamilton down the sideline to the Eagle 12. After a hold and a negative play pushed the ball back to the 34, O’Brien went over the top to Carlos Tarrats to put Catawba up 25-22 with 56 seconds remaining. The Eagles got a pass interference penalty and a 37-yard pass from Thomas to Luther Walker down to the Catawba 22 with 30 seconds left. After a run to the 16, the Eagles threw and incomplete pass before setting up for a game-tying field goal. The 33-yard attempt from Curt Duncan sailed wide and Catawba had the hard-earned win. O’Brien went 35-of-52 through the air for 444 yards and two scores. The 444 yards was the third most in school history with the top four games all coming against Carson-Newman. Tarrats was his favorite target on the afternoon with nine catches for 97 yards and two scores. Burgess had seven catches for 97 yards and Charest seven grabs for 87 yards. The Indians defense held the Eagles to 232 yards on the ground. Tyron Douglas led the rushers with 113 yards on 22 carries. C-N added another 154 in the air, but completed only 9-of-24 passes. Jason Taylor had a huge game for Catawba, posting 16 tackles with a sack. LJ McCray made a dozen tackles and broke up three passes. C-N looked to be heading to a blow out win in the opening minutes. The Eagles scored after the opening kickoff and when Catawba fumbled its kickoff return, the Eagles had it again at the Tribe 22. The Catawba defense made what was one of the key plays of the game, denying Andy Hibbett an inch from the goal on fourth down. After holding C-N again, O’Brien threw his first touchdown to Tarrats to make the score 7-6. On the next series, O’Brien’s pass to Burgess for 50 yards put the ball on the Eagle three. O’Brien went over from the one on third down to put Catawba up 13-7. It was the first time C-N had trailed in a game this season.

2014 GAME RECAPS

DAVIDSON — Catawba knocked off host Davidson 35-7 to win its football opener at Richardson Field. Mike Sheehan completed all but one pass, totaling 174 yards with three touchdowns. Davidson looked to have some momentum early. The Wildcats drove deep into Catawba territory on their first possession, but were stopped on downs. Davidson was set up again by an Indian fumble at midfield only to see the game turn when Jamal Lackey intercepted a second-down pass and raced 67 yards for the game’s first score. Sheehan threw touchdown passes on Catawba’s next two possessions. The first went to freshman Keyon West, who made a diving catch in the end zone to complete the 30-yard score. Sheehan’s second scoring strike went to Carlos Tarrats on a fourth-down play that covered 31 yards. Catawba fumbled deep in Davidson territory on its next drive, but Terence Williams intercepted a Wildcat pass to get the offense back on the field. Sheehan drove the unit down the field once again and capped the 69-yard drive with a 22-yard pass to Tyler Hamilton. Catawba led 28-0 at the half and outgained Davidson 330 to 102 in the opening 30 minutes. The Indians capped their scoring early in the second half. Sheehan delivered a 40-yard pass to Cary Littlejohn to jump-start the drive. David Burgess followed with runs of 27 and eight yards to put the points on the board. Davidson averted the shutout midway through the fourth quarter on a one-yard run by David Rogers. Sheehan went 12-of-13 through the air for 174 yards and the three scores.
