2003-04 Season Preview
AASU rebounded from a 1-7 start to go 14-14 in 2002-03
The second season of the Jeff Burkhamer era atArmstrong Atlantic State begins with a lot of promise.
Part of that stems from the performance of the2002-03 squad that won six of its final seven gamesheading into the Peach Belt Conference tournament,including three wins over Top 25-ranked clubs.
Another part comes from an outstanding recruitingclass that brings in seven talented players to theprogram that already returns seven players, includingfirst-team All-PBC forward Daryl Williams.
Finally, the stability of a program that had seenthree coaches in three seasons will help the Piratescontinue towards their goal of returning to the top ofthe Peach Belt Conference.
Burkhamer’s second season will begin by relyingheavily on its top two scorers from 2002-03, seniorforwards Daryl Williams (6-5, 200, Clearwater, Fla.)and Brian Bain (6-4, 210, Nassau, the Bahamas).Both players look forward to moving back to theirnatural positions on the court after spending most of
last season playingout of position dueto the lack of heighton the Pirates’squad. A naturalsmall forward,Williams stillaveraged a team-leading 15.7 pointsper game at thepower forwardposition last season.Williams should beable to score fromthe perimeter orfrom the paint thisseason, dependingon matchups. Bainwill have the flex-ibility to play eitherwing position thisyear and will becounted on to shootfrom the perimeter
“The Pirates of Armstrong Atlanticor use his excep-tional quickness todrive to the rim.
Anotherreturning playerfor the Pirates isfour-year seniorguard JustinWood (6-1, 200,Midland, Mich.).The former walk-on, who started thefirst 24 games oflast season beforesuffering a brokenleg against Colum-bus State, has fullyrecovered and isexpected to bringhis hard work andtenacious defenseto the court for thePirates in 2003-04.
Senior guardTim Brewer (6-0, 205, Columbus, Ohio) started thefinal four games of the season in place of Wood andreturns as one of the Pirates’ leading three-point shoot-ers. Brewer hit 39.6 percent of his treys last season andshould be one of AASU’s top shooters again this year.
After taking a year off to concentrate on academics,senior swingman Jason Sanders (6-3, 190, Ft. WaltonBeach, Fla.) returns to play his final year for the Piratesthis season. Sanders averaged 5.4 points and 2.3 re-bounds in 21 starts in 2001-02 and will be asked to runthe team from the point guard position.
The final returning senior for coach Burkhamer isforward Scott Mattingly (6-6, 215, Dexter, Mo.). Thehard-nosed Mattingly averaged 4.3 points off the benchfor the Pirates last season and will continue to contrib-ute offensively and defensively in the frontcourt thisseason.
Sophomore forward Jerard Manning (6-5, 190,Savannah, Ga.) saw extensive time late in the seasonand should continue to develop his scoring stroke.
Senior forward Brian Bain scored20 or more points in seven gamesin 2002-03, including a stretch ofthree straight games in January.
Senior guard Justin Wood hasplayed in 82 games in threeseasons for the Pirates and started24 games in 2002-03.
With the tallest playeron the Pirates’ rosterlast season standing at6’7”, AASU’s biggestrecruiting concern wassize. Five of the Pirates’seven newcomers are6’6” or taller, startingwith senior forward/center Tim Black (6-8,220, Hinesville, Ga.),who transfers to AASUafter three seasons atArkansas Tech, wherehe scored 704 points inthree seasons.
Junior forwardGeorge Bush (6-6, 240,Charleston, S.C.) joinsthe Pirates fromSpartanburg MethodistJC, where he was an all-conference performer.Bush will be a toughphysical presence insidethe paint that the Pirateslacked last season and
should help AASU’s rebounding, which ranked 11thin the league last year.
Sophomore forward Jared Muse (6-5, 225,Jacksonville, Fla.) is a transfer from Naval AcademyPreparatory in Annapolis, Md., who brings athleticismand a tremendous work ethic to the team.
The rest of the Pirates’ newcomers are freshmen,but are talented enough to contribute immediately.Freshman forward Bryan Taylor (6-8, 240,Timmonsville, S.C.) was an All-State performer inSouth Carolina where he averaged 25 points, 13rebounds and four blocked shots as a senior.
Freshman center Nick Bloemhof (6-10, 205,Meppel, the Netherlands) is a former member of theDutch junior national team and might be the best purethree-point shooter on the squad already.
The final two freshmen are local products who
stayed home to play for the Pirates. Freshman guardJermaine Wilkerson (6-0, 170, Claxton, Ga.) ledClaxton HS to the Georgia Final Four last year.Wilkerson is a tremendous athlete and will be learningthe point guard position this year. Freshman forwardJimmy Fanning (6-9, 200, Hilton Head, S.C.) aver-aged 16 points and 11 rebounds as a senior and earnedSCISA All-State honors as well.
Again the Pirates will have a tough schedule,facing a 16-game league slate and non-conferencegames against NCAA Tournament participants such asEckerd, Presbyterian and Lenoir-Rhyne. AASU hostsboth Eckerd and Lenoir-Rhyne in its annual ChristmasClassic tournament on Dec. 19-20. AASU also hasnon-conference games against Paine, Clark Atlantaand Fayetteville State. The Pirates open the 2003-04season by hosting South Atlantic Region finalistPresbyterian on Saturday, November 15, at 7:00 p.m.
The Peach Belt Conference coaches have pickedArmstrong Atlantic State to finish tied for fourth in theleague with Augusta State. Defending PBC championColumbus State is picked to finish first, followed byKennesaw State and Clayton State. AASU was one ofonly three schools to receive a first-place vote in thepoll.

The beautiful city of Savannah, thebeach and the weather fulfilled that wish. Third, I wanted to coach at aschool where I thought we could be successful and have a first-classbasketball program. Our facilities are outstanding, we have scholarshipmoney available, we have as good a housing situation as anyone at anylevel in the country, and possibly the most important factor - we have anadministration that cares about basketball and winning.

Historic Savannah, Georgia, is locatedon the Atlantic Coast, at the confluence ofthe Savannah River and the Atlantic Ocean.Throughout its history, there has been oneadjective consistently used to describeSavannah: beautiful.
The reason? There’s something aboutthe unique beauty of Savannah that cannotbe forgotten. Streets with canopies of moss-laden trees are honored venues for scores ofhistoric homes. The town squares thatSavannah’s founding father, JamesOglethorpe, laid out as public meeting placesare now treasured “pocket parks” locatedthroughout the downtown area.
A renovated waterfront area serves asthe hub for shopping and entertainment.Nearby sandy beaches draw streams ofvisitors with persistent cool breezes and theendless lure of the rolling sea. Finally,there’s an indescribable - but readilydiscernible - feeling in the air that pervadesSavannah, a kind of “laid back” approach tothe world, a “rootedness” that makes livingor working in Savannah an experience second to none.
By way of affirmation, Le Monde, the leading Frenchnewspaper, called Savannah “the most beautiful city in NorthAmerica.”
Savannah has recently captured the imagination of a nationthrough its history and its appearance in several feature films,including “Glory,” “Forrest Gump,” “Something to Talk About,”“Midnight In The Garden of Good and Evil” and the 2000 hit
film “The Legend of Bagger Vance”starring Will Smith and Matt Damon. Also,Savannah hosted the yachting events of the1996 Summer Olympics. As a result,tourism has become one of the leadingindustries in the area.
Savannah hosts over six million touristseach year. Tourism impacts the Savannaharea by over $634 million. The city boastsover 7,000 rooms and more than 100restaurants as folks have learned thatSavannah is more than just a convenientrest stop on the interstate to Florida.
The climate of Savannah features warm,and sometimes hot, weather for most of theyear. There are seven months in which theaverage temperature is 70 degrees orhigher. The lowest average high is inJanuary at 60.3 degrees.
The population in Savannah is roughly130,000 and Chatham County is the fifthmost populous county in the state ofGeorgia.
Savannah also sits centrally located tosome of the southeast’s finest beaches. Tybee Island, located lessthan 30 minutes from Armstrong Atlantic State’s campus, offerssix miles of unspoiled sands, tempting seafood and graciousaccommodations. Resort areas such as Hilton Head, SouthCarolina, are less than one hour away and provide even morerelaxing getaway options.
Whether it’s the lure of historical settings, the friendliness ofa southern community or the beautiful climate of southeastGeorgia, Savannah is the place for you.

S ince its founding in 1935, Armstrong AtlanticState University has continued to develop tomeet the Savannah community’s educational needs. From
its first location in Armstrong House in downtown Savannah toits current home on a scenic 250-acre lot off of Abercorn, the uni-versity has become one of the finest educational institutions in theSoutheastern United States.
Armstrong Junior College was established by the Mayor ofSavannah and other public officials in 1935. Housed in the beau-tiful and historic Armstrong House, a gift to the city from the fam-ily of George F. Armstrong, Armstrong Junior College grew overthe years to occupy eight additional buildings in the Forsyth Parkand Monterey Square areas.
In 1959, as Armstrong College of Savannah, it became a two-year unit of the University System.
The Board of Regents conferred four-year status on Armstrongin 1964 and the college moved to its present 250-acre location, agift from Donald Livingston and the Mills B. Lane Foundation, inDecember of 1965. Additional buildings joined the eight originalstructures as Armstrong added professional and graduate programs andtripled in size.
In July of 1996, the Board of Regents voted to rename the collegeto Armstrong Atlantic State University to reflect its mission and iden-tity. The university’s reputation of excellence is still evident in its dedi-cation to students, with a supportive environment.
Armstrong Atlantic State University was fully accredited as a se-nior institution by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schoolsin December, 1968, with accreditation retroactive to January 1, 1968,and was last reaccredited in December, 2001.
The university offers more than seventy-five academic programsand majors in its School of Arts and Sciences, School of Health Pro-fessions and School of Education.
The academic community includes approximately 6,500 studentsand more than 250 faculty members. Enrollment has more than doubledin the last 15 years, from 2,740 students in 1987 to its current number.
Across campus, evidence of the university’s growth can be foundin its facilities. Recently completed buildings include the Fine ArtsCenter, with a 1,000 seat theatre/auditorium, the Health Professions
Building and an academic computing center, along with 84,400square foot University Hall, built to make room for a studentpopulation of 8,000. A 115,000 square foot, $28 million dollarscience building opened in 2002. This fall, the campus welcomesthe second phase of Compass Point, an addition to the school’sfirst apartment complexes. Phase two provides an additional 300beds to the already existing 275 beds from phase one and cam-pus leaders are in talks for a planned phase three addition toCompass Point.
The athletic department of Armstrong Atlantic State Uni-versity is housed in the Armstrong Sports Center, completed in1995. The Sports Center includes offices for the physical educa-tion department, training room and weight room areas, basket-ball courts, indoor track and offices for coaches and athletic de-partment personnel. The building played host to the Peach BeltConference’s basketball tournament in 1998 and 1999 and hostsseveral in-season tournaments each year.
AASU sponsors eight intercollegiate sports and is a chartermember of the Peach Belt Conference, formed in 1991. The Pi-rates have not finished below fourth in the league’s all-sportscompetition since joining the league and finished third in 2002-03, behind North Florida and Kennesaw State.
Continuing a mission begun in 1935, Armstrong AtlanticState University today serves a rich gamut of traditional andnontraditional students. Sixty percent of AASU’s student bodyare from the Savannah-Chatham area, while others come fromaround the state, nation and world. All have come to Savannahto experience and thrive on the campus of one of the fastest de-veloping higher learning institutions in the nation - to be a partof Armstrong Atlantic State University.

Pirates faced a hot USCSpartanburg squad thathad defeated AASU twicein very close games duringthe regular season. AASUplayed valiantly but cameup short, losing to theRifles for a third time, 61-57, but ending the seasonwith a .500 record afteropening the year 1-7.
Junior Daryl Williamsturned in a fine season ashe became the first AASUplayer to earn first-teamAll-PBC honors sinceRobert Campbell in 1999-2001. Williams, a juniorcollege transfer fromPasco Hernando CC,averaged 15.7 points and6.6 rebounds per game,ranking in the top 10 inboth categories in theleague.
Junior Brian Bain alsoenjoyed a fine first seasonfor the Pirates, averaging14.3 points per game and
capturing the Ashley Dearing cup by leading the Pirates infree-throw shooting. Bain, a former U-19 National Playerof the Year in his native country of the Bahamas, scored 20or more points five times in a one-month stretch for AASU.
Two seniors finished their playing careers for thePirates in 2002-03 as Dave Pisarcik and Ian Jones eachturned in fine seasons for AASU.
Pisarcik averaged 12.6 points and 4.8 rebounds pergame and entered the AASU top 10 chart for free throwsmade in a season with 127 during the year. For his two-year career, Pisarcik averaged 10.4 points per game as aPirate.
Senior Ian Jones took advantage of his opportunity tostart as a senior and responded with his best season,averaging 5.7 points and 2.7 rebounds a game in 17 starts.
As well as setting a school record for the least amountof points given up in a single game, the Pirates also setschool records for fewest total points given up in a season(1,741) and fewest points per game given up (62.2 ppg).AASU ranked 11th in NCAA Division II in scoring defensein 2002-03 as well.

2002-03 Season Review
AASU ranked 11th nationally in scoring defense in 2002-03 33
New head coach Jeff Burkhamer’s first season at AASUmay not seem memorable looking solely at the Pirates’14-14 final record, but a closer inspection of the seasonreveals perhaps one of the finest coaching jobs in any levelof collegiate basketball in 2002-03.
Without a player taller than 6’7” and a brutal openingschedule that included five games against 2002-03 NCAATournament teams, the Pirates found ways to win andfinished fourth in the Peach Belt Conference standings at12-7, advancing to the PBC Tournament Quarterfinals forthe second straight season.
The Pirates opened the season at Eckerd College inNovember and came within one basket of knocking off EliteEight participant Queens (N.C.). Losses to NCAA Tourna-ment teams Eckerd (twice), Presbyterian and Lenoir-Rhynefollowed and, when the Pirates finished up their fall sched-ule, they sported a rough 1-7 mark heading into January andthe Peach Belt Conference slate.
Head coach Jeff Burkhamer had his players turn theirjerseys around backward at their first practice after Christ-mas, symbolizing his belief that the Pirates needed to turntheir season around immediately. True to form, the Piratesused a suffocating defense to frustrate opponents andquickly racked up wins.
AASU won four of itsfirst five games after Christ-mas and found themselves inthe thick of the Peach BeltConference race. The Piratesset a new school record onFebruary 1, holding UNCPembroke to a school-record40 points in a 58-40 win overthe Braves, then the Piratespicked up two wins overnationally-ranked foes whenthey defeated No. 10 Colum-bus State, 79-62, on February22, then defeated No. 24Kennesaw State, 63-57, onMarch 1.
AASU entered the PeachBelt Conference tournamentas the No. 3 seed from theSouth Division and immedi-ately knocked off UNCPembroke, 67-59, in the firstround, making it to thequarterfinals.
In the quarterfinals, the
Senior Dave Pisarcik scored583 points in his twoseasons as a Pirate, anaverage of 10.4 points pergame.
Senior Ian Jones hit for acareer-high 18 points inthe Pirates’ 77-53 win overUNC Pembroke on January13 at Alumni Arena.

Since its inception in 1991, thePeach Belt Conference has workedtirelessly to become one of the elite
conferences in NCAA Division II. Nowentering its 13th season with 18 nationalchampionships and 16 national finalists,the PBC has accomplished that goal.
Starting with only two championshipsin 1991, in men's and women's basketball,the conference has expanded to 12championship sports with the addition ofwomen's soccer in the fall of 2000.
The conference traces its roots back toNovember of 1988 when 11 schools firstmet in Greenville, S.C. to form a DivisionII conference. Following a second meetingon Dec. 3, 1989, five of those 11 schools,plus two others, formed the Peach Beltand began play in 1991.
The Peach Belt was less than a yearold before capturing a national champion-ship. The Columbus State golf team tookthe honor by winning the 1992 nationalcrown, the first of three golf champion-ships the Cougars own.
The PBC has seen continued successin all sports with national rankings andmultiple NCAA appearances in everysport last season, including a nationalchampionship for the Columbus Statebaseball team and a national champion-ship finals appearance by the ArmstrongAtlantic State women's tennis team.
The seven charter members of theconference were Armstrong Atlantic StateUniversity, Columbus State University,
Francis Marion University, GeorgiaCollege & State University, LanderUniversity, USC Aiken and USCSpartanburg. The name Peach Belt AthleticConference was adopted in January of1990 and modified to Peach Belt Confer-ence in May of 2000.
Augusta State joined the conference in1991 and UNC Pembroke became theninth member on July 1, 1992. They werefollowed by Kennesaw State University onJuly 1, 1994, Clayton College & StateUniversity on July 1, 1995 and the Univer-sity of North Florida on July 1, 1997, tobring the current membership to 12institutions.
Former Augusta State basketball coachand athletic director Marvin Vanover wasnamed the interim commissioner in April,1990, and served in that capacity until hisappointment as the conference's first full-time commissioner in July of 1991. Heestablished the conference office inAugusta, Ga., which houses the commis-sioner and his staff.
Dr. Thomas Hallman, president of theUniversity of South Carolina at Aiken, isthe president of the Peach Belt in 2003-04.
