Titan Sports Hall of Fame
Bendig spent four years with the football program and two years with the track and field program. A four-year letter winner and three-year starter, he was a key contributor with the 1987 team that finished 9-2. Bendig, a consistent and technically sound defensive end, was named to the Pittsburgh Press All-District Second Team following the 1987 season after posting 55 tackles and five pass breakups. He totaled 282 career tackles and helped the program post a 25-11-1 record during his time in New Wilmington. Bendig competed in the javelin and was a qualifier for the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) national championships in 1985, which were hosted by Hillsdale College, but was unable to compete due to injury.
