BLUEFIELD COLLEGEGAME NOTES

STATSBluefi eld enters the game 11th in the Mid-South at 16.8 points per game while UVa-Wise ranks last in the league at 14.2 points per game. On defense, the Rams are last in the league giving up 49.5 points per game while the Cavs rank ninth at 31.3 points per game.

IN NEED OF WINSEach club enters the game desper-ately in need of a win. The Rams are 0-6 while the Cavs have dropped fi ve straight games to fall to 1-5. Mike Gravier’s Bluefi eld team may see Saturday’s contest as the season’s best opportunity to secure the frist win for the program since its rebirth. The fi ve straight defeats for UVa-Wise are the most for the program since 2004; the Cavaliers have never lost six straight contests.

UVA-WISE LAST WEEKVisiting Belhaven University totaled 526 yards, 282 of which came on the ground, en route to a 52-14 victory over UVa-Wise at Carl Smith Stadium. Kadero Edley led the rushing attack by gaining 169 yards on 15 carries and a touchdown for Belhaven.

In the loss, freshman Connery Swift gained 126 yards on 17 carries. The former Wilson Memorial star pro-duced the longest rush of his career with an 84 yard touchdown run in the fi rst quarter. Through the air, CulenLaVoi completed 8-of-19 passes for 163 yards and a touchdown while Julian Stewart had the fi rst 100 recep-tion yard game of his career. Stewart caught two passes for 103 yards and a touchdown for Wise.

SERIES HISTORYDespite being seperated by less than 100 miles the Rams and Highland Cavaliers are meeting for the fi rst time in program history. UVA-Wise is in the midst of its 22nd season while Blue-fi eld College is in its 21st, however UVA-Wise didn’t start football till 1991 while the Rams played 20 seasons between 1922 and 1941 before re-starting the once proud program this season after 71 years.

UVA-WISE A YEAR AGOUVA-Wise won its fi rst game of the season against Webber International (Fla.) and won four of its fi rst fi ve as they went 5-6 on the year. The High-land Cavaliers lost its last three games of 2011 140-28 including a 50-7 drub-bing by Georgetown (Ky.) and a 42-6 loss to Campbellsville (Ky.).

NO RAMBLIN RAMAfter opening the season with 141 yards on the ground the Rams have struggled with their ground attack. Redshirt Freshman Josh Wells leads the Rams with 289 yards rushing while averaging just 48.2 yards per game on 2.9 yards per carry.

BC QUICK FACTS RAMS JOIN FOOD CITY TO BATTLE HUNGERThe “Sack the Quarterback” campaign is a community service project that recognizes outstanding defensive effort on the Rams’ football team, while at the same time rewarding disad-vantaged families with much needed groceries. The way the campaign works: Every time the BC defense sacks an opposing offensive quarterback during a Rams football game, Food City donates a “sack” of groceries to a local food bank or ministry center to give to someone in need.

“Our football players are very excited to partner with Food City to help alleviate some of the hunger issues our community members face every day,” said BC head football coach Mike Gravier. “In my former work as a local missionary, I saw fi rst-hand the effects that hunger can have on people, especially children.”

Coach Gravier also noted the importance of demonstrating to his players how fortunate they are, compared to those less privileged in the community. He said he’s confi dent the “Sack the Quarterback” program will show the Rams how people all around them have needs that they can help address, and he’s thankful, he added, for the support from Food City for this cause.

“Food City is a proud sponsor of Bluefi eld College football,” said Bluefi eld, Virginia, Food City manager Steve Remines, “and we’re committed to addressing area hunger with the ‘Sack the Quarterback’ campaign. This is a good way to support the foot-ball team and to support the community.”

To date, the Rams have tallied eight sacks in the 2012 season, meaning eight sacks of groceries have been donated by Food City to a local food bank, this time the Bluefi eld Union Mission.“When asked to fi nd a local grocer who would be willing to support our ‘Sack the Quarterback’ program, I immediately thought of Food City,” said Annette Tabor, BC’s associate vice president for advancement. “Steve (Remines) is a BC alumnus and has always been supportive our golf tournament and other events. So, I knew he would love the opportunity to be part of this new program, and he was.”

In addition to partnering with Food City to alleviate local hun-ger, the Rams football team has been donating its time to work on skills with area youth football players. The Rams also will be volunteering at Dudley Elementary for its Fall Festival in Octo-ber.

“Bluefi eld College believes passionately in service above self. It’s a core value, a way of life for our students, faculty and staff,” said Chris Shoemaker, director of marketing and public relations. “Through programs like this and other community service outreach projects, our hope is to prepare compassion-ate, community-minded, globally-minded students who impact their world.”

The Chester, Va., native ranks in the top-47 in three national categories in-cluding seventh in total interceptions (3), 13th in interceptions per game (0.6), and 47th in passes defended per game (1.0).

by Brian Woodson of the Bluefield Daily Telegraph

BLUEFIELD -- Rodrell Smith arrived at Bluefi eld College having run for 2,332 yards and 25 touchdowns in two seasons at Nelson County High School near Arrington, Va. Sounds like running back material. “We had been testing the fi rst day and we looked at him and said, ‘We need to get this kid on the fi eld’, but we had a lot of good running backs,” Bluefi eld College head coach Mike Gravier said. “We weren’t sure how he was going to get into the rotation.” There are other positions on the football fi eld, and Gravier found one for Smith. “We decided to move him to re-ceiver,” Gravier said. “That is a huge learning curve, not only does he have to adjust to college football, but adjusting at a new position and obviously he has done well.” Very well. Smith is a freshman

receiver who is ranked among the top 18 pass-catchers nationally in the NAIA Division I ranks. “I wanted to play running back, but Coach asked me to try wide receiver and I was willing so that’s where I need to be,” Smith said. “He asked me ‘Can you catch’ and I said ‘Yes sir’. “He said we are going to try you and out and I was like ‘okay’.” Call that a good decision. The speedy 6-foot-1, 190-pound Smith has caught 28 passes for 274 yards and four touchdowns for the Rams. He has snared nine more passes for 90 more yards than any receiver on the team. “He is our leading scorer, obviously he is our leading receiver, he is get-ting better,” Gravier said. “(Receiv-ers) coach (Kirk) Broussard kind of called him out early in the season about his blocking and he has got-ten better and better and better. “He has probably been our most

consistent receiver overall, blocking and receiving.” In addition to football, Smith ran track at Nelson County, running the 100, 200 and 400 meters, and was part of a state championship squad last June in the 4x400 relay team. Football, though, was his true call-ing. “Just the contact, you can’t get in trouble for hitting somebody hard and I just love the game,” Smith said. “Every day I work harder to get better and go out and play.” He had a few schools seeking his services on the football fi eld, but Bluefi eld proved to be the winning team. “I had a couple of other schools, but I narrowed it down and decid-ed to come to this school,” Smith said. “It was a fi rst year program, I thought I could do great things for the team.”

MR. SMITH COMES TO BLUEFIELD

So far so good. Bluefi eld is 0-6 in its fi rst season of football since 1941, but Smith sees good things ahead for the Rams. “It is our fi rst year, but once every-one comes together and does their job and does all their fi nishing I think we can pull it together,” Smith said. “I see good things coming for us and getting better with steady progression.” Smith has progressed quickly since arriving at Bluefi eld in early August, taking over a position he had rarely played in high school. “You have to work hard every day, you have to go out and get better,” Smith said. “You can’t take any time off, you have got to run your routes precise, very sharp just to get away from the DBs.” That 4.5 speed in the 40-yard dash helps. “It is a real big jump, more speed, more size,” he said, “but it is some-thing you have to adjust to at any level in college.” Smith started in style, catching seven passes for 78 yards and two touchdowns in the season-opening loss to Pikeville. “I wasn’t expecting that big of a start, but it was a great game for me,” said Smith, who will never forget the fi rst touchdown of his career. “It felt great, it was a dream come true. It was a great feeling.” Smith also caught seven passes in last week’s loss at Union. He’s had at least two receptions in each game this season, and is currently 18th in America in receptions (28) and 37th in receptions per game (4.700).

He has quickly learned the basics of being a receiver. “You have got to catch it, bring it in and get what you can get out there,” Smith said. “I think (the most important thing is to) secure the ball, you don’t want to give up any fumbles in the wide-open fi eld and lose the ball for a bad turn-over.” Smith has developed a comfort level with quarterback Greg Hamp-ton, who has thrown for 780 yards, eight scores and seven intercep-tions. “He fi nds me open every time,” Smith said. “When I get open routes, he delivers the ball well.” Gravier continues to be impressed with the progress made by Smith and the willingness to make the move to a new position. “A lot of kids think, ‘I am a star running back, look what I did in high school, why would you want to move me’, but he was very ac-commodating, more than willing to do it and again has worked at it,” Gravier said. “Some of those kids would do that and mope around and not really put the time in to get better at it. “He can be defi nitely a weapon for us down the road, he is going to get stronger and he is going to get faster and learn the game more.” He’s not just in town to play foot-ball. Smith is majoring in sports management with aspirations as an athletic trainer. He’s focused on both in Bluefi eld. “Academically, just getting up and making sure you go to class and get your work done,” said Smith, who likes to fi sh, mostly for bass,

when the opportunity arrives. “Sports-wise, coming to practice, working hard for the time you are out here and keeping up with your grades.” Smith arrived in Bluefi eld knowing one person on the team, tight end Matt Hollandsworth, who ironi-cally scored the Rams’ fi rst touch-down this season with a reception against Pikeville. He is surrounded by talented receivers, including Michael Nesmith (17-184, td) and others who are trying to provide fi repower to the Bluefi eld attack. “We work every day,” Smith said. “We come out and Coach works us hard and makes sure we know our routes and know what we have to do, knowing what our plays are and knowing we have to get our blocks and making sure our man doesn’t make the tackle... “You have to go out and work to-gether, you have to play as a team, everybody has to come together as one and not play individually.” Bluefi eld returns to Mitchell Stadi-um on Saturday for the Rams’ fi rst game under the lights when the University of Virginia’s College of Wise arrives for a 6 p.m. kickoff. Smith can’t wait. “I am real well known for playing under the lights so hopefully it will be a good impact for us,” he said. There is something else he can’t wait for. Hopefully the wait ends on Saturday. “Get that fi rst win, and then keep-ing building off of that one,” Smith said. Contact Brian Woodson at bwoodson@bdtonline.com

2012 OPPONENTS

Coach Mike Gravier became the program’s eighth coach when Blue-fi eld College leaders announced him as the coach man who would restart the program that had been dormant since 1941 during a press conference, July 23, 2010.“Hiring the right coach, someone who identifi es with the college’s mission and has a passion for trans-forming young men’s lives through the game of football, is critical to the success of this new program,” said BC president, Dr. David Olive. “I’m convinced we have found that

person in Mike Gravier.”Gravier helped launch a football program as an assistant coach and offensive coordinator at Malone University in Ohio in 1992. Three seasons later, he became the head coach of the young program, where during a four-year span he amassed a 30-12-1 win-loss record, three Mid-States Football Association Championships, a MSFA Coach of the Year honor, and two NAIA National Tournament bids. “Mike brings an excellent understanding of the game and effective coaching style to Bluefi eld football,” said BC’s ath-letic director, Pete Dryer. “In addition to his experience and success on the fi eld, we are excited to have a football coach with strong character, a passion to live out his faith in Jesus Christ, and a desire to serve and mentor student-athletes.”Coach Gravier began his career with fi ve years of coaching at the high school level after playing football and earning his bachelor’s degree from Grand Valley State University in Michigan and while earning his master’s degree from West-ern Michigan University.He spent the next six years as an assistant coach at Kal-amazoo College in Michigan, Western Michigan University, Southeast Missouri State University, and Michigan Techno-logical University, before beginning his six-year stint with Malone.He was called back to his alma mater to coach in 1998 and spent two additional seasons as a high school coach in Georgia before devoting his career in 2001 to faith-based ministries, including Christian Outreach International in Florida, where for three years he served as director of sports ministry.Today, while last serving as an assistant coach for football at Concord University in Athens, West Virginia, Gravier is the director of OperationSHARE for Heaven Sent Ministries in Princeton, West Virginia, but now he is ready to turn his attention to Bluefi eld College.“I’m very excited and humbled,” said Gravier about the op-portunity to lead the new BC football program. “It’s always an honor to be the fi rst person chosen to lead a football program. It’s a role I don’t take lightly, and I look forward to the challenge. We will play an exciting brand of football. We will play fast. We will be very aggressive, and I believe we will win.”Starting a new football program, Coach Gravier said, will be a special endeavor. Like the players from 1941 who hold memories from the last game played, players on the new BC roster, he said, “will someday share stories about the fi rst touchdown scored, the fi rst win, or the fi rst championship.” Those fi rsts, he added, “are something only the new players

can experience.”Coach Gravier said in reviving BC football he wants the new players and fans to remember why the program was dropped in 1942 and to honor the young men who joined the war effort and risked their lives to secure our freedom.“We will use that past as part of our future,” said coach Gra-vier. “It is my desire to honor those former players in some way. If any are still living, I want them to visit and be a part of our team. If they are no longer with us, their families are always welcome.”Coach Gravier acknowledged that a new football team will, no doubt, boost the Greater Bluefi eld economy, offer an additional source for gridiron entertainment to an already football-hungry community, and give more local student-athletes an opportunity to continue their football careers at home in front of family and friends. But, the impact he’s looking forward to most is the one that will involve his play-ers in community outreach.In line with the Bluefi eld College mission, Coach Gravier said he hopes to develop players both academically and spiritually. In addition to what the student-athletes will gain in the classroom from professors, through a mentor program with leaders in the community the coach said he wants to develop the players’ career and leadership skills. The purpose, he said: to develop the whole player.“We want to show our players what it means to be a good football player, but also what it means to be a leader in the community, a good husband, and a good father,” said Gravier. “Football will be a small part of their college experi-ence, and hopefully the other things they learn that will carry with them through the good and bad times of life.”
