LADY RAILSPLITTER COACHING STAFF

ASSISTANT COACHtiffany edgaREdgar enters her second season as the assistant coach for the LMU softball program.

Tiffany came to LMU from East Burke High School in Connelly Springs, North Carolina, where she was head coach for three years.

Before taking over the helm of the Cavalier program, Edgar played for the University of Toledo and was an NFCA Scholar Athlete, re-ceiving the MAC Presidential Award. During her last year with the Rockets, Edgar received the honor of having an award named after her. The Edgar Excellence Award is given to a senior at the end of each season who exemplifies good citizenship, solid academics and excels athletically.

Edgar is a native of Tecumseh, Michigan. She is married to Brian DeJonghe, a football and wreslting coach at Broadway High School in Broadway, Virginia.

HEAD COACHdan BuRnsA native of Kettering, Ohio, Burns began his career at Lincoln Memorial University in the fall of 1970 where he was a dual-sport athlete, lettering in baseball and basketball.

While playing for the legendary Dean Bailey, Burns was a standout in both sports and was inducted into the Lincoln Memorial University Athletes Hall of Fame in 2003 for his collegiate contribu-tions.

In 1976, he accepted the position of assistant baseball coach and four years later became head coach when Bailey made the decision to retire after 31 years at the helm of the Railsplitter baseball program.

From 1981 to 1987, Burns served as the skipper of the Lincoln Memorial University baseball program, served as athletics director from 1987 to 1988 and as director of campus and community recreation from 1989 to 1995.

In 1995, Burns again returned to the diamond, this time as head coach of the Lady Railsplitter softball program. Although this was his first experience coaching women’s collegiate softball, his knowledge of the game shined on the field and his teams soon made their presence known thoughout the Gulf South Conference. In only his second season with the LMU softball program, the Lady Railsplitters reached the 1996 GSC Tournament Championship losing to eventual champion Alabama-Huntsville.

During Burns’ 14 years as head coach of the LMU softball program, the Lady Railsplitters have made eight trips to the conference tournament and produced 24 all-conference players, one Louisville Slugger/NFCA All-American and two Daktronics All-Americans. In addition, Burns ranks as one of the nation’s winningest active coaches with a career record of 441 wins, 312 losses and one tie going into the 2009 season.

Burns is a 1974 graduate of Lincoln Memorial University. He currently resides in Harrogate with his wife, Regina and their three children - Josh, Victoria and Gavin.

2008 LADY RAILSPLITTER STATISTICS

Sara Henn was named the 2008 SAC Player of the Year. She is the first conference Player of the Year

in LMU history.


DOROTHY NEELY FIELD

The Dorothy Neely field has been the home of the Lady Railsplitters since the 1990 season.

The field complex seats approximately 350 people in bleacher seats, sideline benches and open areas for lawn chairs. The dimensions are 200 feet down the lines and 215 to center field. The playing surface is Bermuda grass. Batting cages and a bullpen are adjacent to the field, and teams can also use the baseball field cages and bullpen if needed.

There is also a press box / storage fa-cility along the right infield base path which includes space for scoreboard and statistical operations as well as equipment storage and a changing room.

The dugouts are enclosed, and there are safety fences in the front to help protect players, coaches and staff from stray balls. Lights were installed in 2003, and several night games are scheduled each year.

The Lady Railsplitters first played on the field on March 28, 1990, when they hosted former TVAC foe Milligan College. LMU won both games by scores of 4-3 and 8-5. Prior to that, home games were played on a part of the old LMU farm (the playing site is now included in the Harrogate City Park.) The field was officially dedicated on May 12, 1990.

Lincoln Memorial University was founded in 1897 as a living memorial to Abraham Lincoln and his philosophy and ideals. Its inception dates from an occasion in the fall of 1863 when the President was meeting with General Oliver Otis Howard to discuss military operations in and around the Cumberland Gap and East Tennessee area. The President expressed his appreciation for the loyalty that the people of the region had shown to the Union during this time of Civil War. Pointing to the area on the map, Mr. Lincoln said, “General Howard, if you come out of all this horror and misery alive, and I hope that you may, I want you to do something for these people who have been shut out from the world all these years. If I live, I will do all I can to aid you and between us we may do them the justice they deserve. Please remember, and if God is good to us we may be able to speak of it later!” Mr. Lincoln did not live to see his dream fulfilled, but O.O. Howard (who also was a founder of Howard University) never forgot those words. In 1895, he traveled to the Cumberland Gap area to address a small academy that was operated by a Congregational minister,

the Rev. A.A. Myers, and his wife Ellen. While he was there, the General remembered Lincoln’s request and joined with the Myers and several prominent friends to lay the groundwork for a university honoring the slain President. It was to be an institution whose mission and principles would exemplify the life of Abraham Lincoln. The philosophy articulated by these founders as a guide for University programs and curriculum was based on the following principles which were exemplified in the life of Abraham Lincoln: individual liberty; the privileges and responsibilities of the American government; love and respect for the fellow people; personal initiative, individual effort; unselfish leadership; an appreciation for the common people; free enterprise; and belief in a personal God. Now in its 111th year of operation, LMU has grown into a progressive university, offering over 30 majors. LMU’s Fall 2008 enrollment was 3,365 students and there were 153 faculty members at the main campus and ten extended-campus sites. The main campus is also home to the Abraham Lincoln Library and Museum, which houses one of the largest Lincoln collections in the country.
