The Last Game: Oct. 3, 2015 - Strong fourth quarter pushes Cats past PC - Sophomore tailback Detrez Newsome rushed for a career-high 189 yards and two touchdowns as Western Carolina pushed past Presbyterian, 33-21, in non-conference action on Saturday afternoon at a rain-soaked E.J. Whitmire Stadium / Bob Waters Field.
Head Coach: Steve Englehart - Englehart enters his first season as head coach of the Blue Hose. Englehart's hiring came after a national search conducted by the Parker Executive Search firm, working with a search committee including Presbyterian College faculty, staff, coaches, and members of the College's Board of Trustees. The search committee decided unanimously to hire Englehart as PC's next football coach following an extensive review of a strong candidate pool. A majority of the 120 candidates had significant college coaching experience.
