Lenoir-Rhyne Football Adds Two More To Its Coaching Staff For 2008

L-R hires Roy Tesh and Anthony Scott, both from Brevard College, to round out its coaching staff for next year

Hickory, N.C. – The Lenoir-Rhyne College Football Team and Head Coach Fred Goldsmith has announced the additions of Roy Tesh and Anthony Scott to its coaching staff for 2008.

Both coaches came from Brevard College and will round out the staff for next season.

Tesh, who will be the Bears’ Running Backs Coach next year, was the Defensive Line Coach for Brevard (2006-07) the past two years. Prior to Brevard, Tesh coached three seasons (2003-05) at his alma mater, Greensboro College, where he headed up the linebackers and was the team’s strength and conditioning coordinator.

Tesh, a four-year all-conference selection as a fullback with the Pride, graduated in 2004 and played for the Carolina Ghostriders of the American Indoor Football League.

Scott will serve as Tight Ends and Assistant Offensive Line Coach for Lenoir-Rhyne. Scott was Offensive Line Coach for Brevard the past two years (2006-07) after working in the same capacity for East Forsyth High School in Kernersville, N.C., from 2003 to 2005. Scott was also East Forsyth’s Academic Advisor and was the school’s track and field coach. Scott graduated in 2001 from Georgia Southern and was a member of the Eagles’ two NCAA Division I-AA National Championship Teams (1999 and 2000) and four Southern Conference Title squads.

On Thursday, Lenoir-Rhyne hired Tommy Laurendine as Offensive Coordinator.
