The Compass Wednesday, Decembers, 1992 13 ECSU players named Ready to win to first CIAA team By James Sims ECSU senior Tim Johnson has been named CIAA Quarteiback of The Year. Johnson completed 125 of 302 pass at tempts for 18 touchdowns, 14 intercep>- tions. He averaged 233.2 yards per game in total offense and led the league with a total 2,097 yards. "He earned it," said Coach Alvin Kelley, whose Vikings finished 3-6-1. "He had a super year." kelly said he was proud of the other Vikings who were named to the all-con- ference team: deferisive lineman Everett Mdver, defense back Shannon Pender grass and center Demetrius Hardison. Kelly said he was especially happy for Hardison. "This ^y was a super player for us," Kelly said. "He was a captain, a team leader. To be a first-team, all conference lineman in this league, you have to be a player." Hardison said being selected as an All- CIAA footplayer "is a very big honor for me. It is one of the main goals I set for myself during my four years of college football." Hardison said he was surprised to have been selected as a first-team player. Hardison said if he had played center all four years "I might have b^n able to accomplish one or two of my other goals. Black-College All-American and /or a shot at the NFL." Pendergrass had six interceptions, two of which he returned for touchdowns. He was a walk-on player his second year at ECSU. Pendergrass said that his outlook for the team next season is "we don't start out vdth trying to win the championship in our first game but take one game at a time, and the championship will be ours for the taking." Mdver made the all-CIAA team for a third straight year. It was the second consecutive year he was named its De fensive Player of the Year. ECSU Vikings also put three players on the second team, Wilson Bolden, Carl Hines and Gene Stovall. Bolden was a senior receiver; Hines, an offensive right tackle; and Stovall a sopho more defensive back. Kelly said he wished some other Vikes could havegotten the CIAA recognition— indudingdefensive tackle ReggieWorlds, starting linebackers Spencer Abraham, Jamarle Amold and Van Freeman. He also praised Andre Nelson, who scored 14 touchdowns and rushed for 653 yards. Viking offensive lineman Herman Kemp was named to the all-freshman team.
