Change typically is not easy, but new Northwestern State women’s basketball co-head coaches Brooke and Scott Stoehr are looking for competitiveness and toughness in the transition to a new approach beginning with the 2012-13 season. “My staff and I are excited about the upcoming season and look forward to establishing a culture of competitiveness and toughness,” said Brooke Stoehr. “The season will be a process and we’ll work extremely hard each day to continue to develop these young ladies on and off the court.” Seven letterwinners return this season including seniors Trudy Armstead, Jas-mine Upchurch, and Meredith Graf. Three redshirt freshman return to the team and four newcomers add to the young Lady Demon squad. “This group of young ladies has worked very hard for our staff during the preseason conditioning and individual skills session,” said Stoehr. Change, as we all know, is not always the most pleasant or easy experience, but we have had a tremendous response from this group. “Each day we challenge them to be better than the day before and give maxi-mum effort andenergy,” said Stoehr. Armstead started all 29 games for the Lady Demons in the 2011-12 season and averaged 14.2 points and 8.5 rebounds per game. She finished the season ranked fifth in rebounds in the Southland Conference and is the third leading returner on that list. The Dallas native had nine double-doubles and showed her potential late in the season againstTexas-Arlington when she scored a career-high 30 points and finished with 11 boards. Her season high in rebounds came against LSU-Shreveport when she brought down 19. “Trudy has bought in to what we are teaching and how she can be a win-ner both on and off the court, and because of that she has been one of our most consistent workers during the preseason,” said Stoehr. “She has made tremendous strides in the classroom and is on track to graduate. I would love nothing more than seeing her walk across the stage with her diploma in hand after having a tre-mendous senior season on the court.” Tiandra Williams, the only junior on the squad, has also stood out to the new staff bringing a “tremendous amount of energy and effort to each and every work-out.” “Tiandra has worked very hard to acclimate herself and her game to our style of play and the culture we are establishing,” said Stoehr. “She has been a vocal leader for us throughout workouts and continues to develop her confidence and grow in this area. I do not think she is fully aware of what she is capable of on the court.” Williams played in all 29 games a year ago averaging 3.7 points and 1.1 assists. Her premiere game came against Texas A&M-Corpus Christi when she scored 20 points with 10 rebounds and two assists. “She has been extremely receptive to our teaching and expectation level,” said Stoehr. “Tiandra will be a vital part of our backcourt and will be a big reason for our team’s success this season.” Natchitoches native Meredith Graf will return for her senior year and her leadership has caught the eye of the new staff. “Meredith has provided leadership and been a very solid performer for this team in the past,” said Stoehr. “She has proven to

be one of the team’s best shooters and brings many intan-gibles on both ends of the floor.” Graf finished last season with 205 points and 51 assists. She had off-season shoulder surgery and is expected to return by the conference season. Jasmine Upchurch, a 6-foot-3 post player, will return under the goal for the Lady Demons after hav-ing a good season last year with averages of 11.5 points and

7.9 rebounds. She has the ability to be a very productive player and could re-

ally help solidify the post position. Sophomore guard Jasmine Bradley, who had a tremendous freshman season in 2010-11, will return to the court this sea-son after having to sit out nearly all of last year with an injury.

She led the team in rebounding and steals two years ago. Arianne Ausmer also returns for her sophomore season. She played in 29 games last season and averaged 2.3 points and 1.3 assists in 13 minutes per game. Among the newcomers, true freshman point guard Janelle Perez has been a standout in preseason and may be the Lady Demons’ top ball-handler. “We will face a very difficult non-conference slate, and we believe it will prepare us greatly for the Southland Confer-ence schedule,” said Stoehr. “I expect for our to team to play a tough disciplined style of basketball and compete every pos-session. When we are able to do this on a consistent basis we will start to see results on the scoreboard.”

Brooke StoehrCo-Head Coach • 1st Season • Louisiana Tech (‘02)

With the goal of boosting Northwestern State Lady Demon basketball back to the top of the Southland Conference, Athletic Director Greg Burke announced Apr. 4, 2012, the hiring of Brooke and Scott Stoehr as the program’s first co-head coaching duo in the

38 years of the program’s existence. Brooke was an outstanding point guard from 1998-2002 under legendary coach Leon Barmore. She has spent the last three years as an assistant coach at Texas Tech and recently helped guide the Lady Raiders to a third round appearance in the Wom-en’s National Invitational Tournament. Prior to Texas Tech, she spent a season on the staff at Southern Mississippi and three years on the staff at her alma mater, Louisiana Tech following a stay at Arkansas-Little Rock. The 32-year old was a standout player at Hamburg (Ark.) High School and played collegiately at Louisiana Tech from 1998-2002 where she served as a two-year captain and starting point guard as a junior and senior, while leading the Lady Techsters to an impressive 119-16 mark. She was instrumental in leading Louisiana Tech to four NCAA Championship appearances, including the Final Four in 1999 and two more Elite Eight appearances. During her playing days, Louisiana Tech won four regular-season confer-ence titles and conference tournament crowns, while only losing one confer-ence game. The 2001 All-Sun Belt Conference selection ended her career ranked as the NCAA Division I all-time career free throw percentage leader at 91.5

percent, hitting 268-of-292 attempts. As a senior, Stoehr was named an NCAA post-graduate scholarship finalist, WAC All-Academic, NCAA Woman of the Year nominee, Verizon Academic All-District VI and National Strength and Conditioning As-sociation All-American. In High School, she was named to the Pa-rade All-American team and was the Arkansas and Southwest Region Gatorade Player of the Year. Scott, who received his degree in biol-ogy from Nebraska Wesleyan in 1997 and his master’s degree in kinesiology from North Texas in 1999, began his coaching career at Nebraska Wesleyan University and followed that with stints at North Texas, Florida State, Arkansas-Little Rock and Louisiana Tech be-fore leaving the college ranks for high school in 2008.

assistant. At Southern Mississippi, Brooke worked primarily with the perimeter players. Her re-sponsibilities also included re-cruiting, scouting opponents, film breakdown and assisting with all aspects of the Lady Eagle basketball camps. Prior to her stint at Southern Miss, she spent three sea-sons as an assistant coach at Louisiana Tech, where her primary duties included serving as the academic counselor, recruiting

with an emphasis in Arkansas and Louisiana, scouting reports, guard development, summer camps and overseeing the Lady Techster weight and conditioning program. While at Louisiana Tech, Stoehr was instrumental in development of the guards, which included three All-Western Athletic Conference selections and a WAC Player of the Year. She also helped Louisiana Tech claim back-to-back WAC regular-season titles as well as the program’s 25th-straight NCAA Championship appearance. She graduated from Tech in 2002 with a degree in business administration and obtained her master’s degree in sports ad-ministration from Florida State in 2004. Brooke spent her first two years as a full-time coach at Arkansas-Little Rock where she assisted with coaching guards, helped with recruiting, supervised preseason individual conditioning workouts and aided in summer basketball camps. She also served as a graduate assistant at Florida State prior to her job at UALR. In his first position as a Division I coach, Scott helped guide North Texas to its most successful time in school history, including three conference division championships, two postseason tournaments and a 43-4 home record over a four year period.

Scott was the position coach for the 2002 Sun Belt Conference Player of the Year and the league’s Defensive Player of the Year and was responsible for recruit-ing regions in Oklahoma and Arkansas.

2012-13 Women’s Basketball Schedule




In an era of considerable change in intercollegiate athletics, the Southland Conference continues to be a model of innovation, stability and consistent achievement as it celebrates the academic and athletic accomplishments of its member institutions. What began as a small gathering of college administrators nearly 50 years ago, the Southland Conference has transformed itself into a dynamic and respected consortium of 11 member universities in four states. Beginning with a historic meeting of five institutions in Dallas on March 15, 1963, that included current member Lamar University (then Lamar State College of Technology), the Southland Conference set on an extraordinary course that has proven successful well into its fifth decade of existence. The successful transformation continues. On Oct. 11, 2011, the Southland Conference announced the addition of Oral Roberts University, effective for the 2012-13 academic year, marking the league’s first entry into the state of Oklahoma and the Tulsa metropolitan area. Shortly thereafter, on Nov. 21, the Southland announced the addition of Houston Baptist University for the 2013-14 academic year, giving the league an 11th member and its first insti-tution in the region’s largest city, home to significant student-recruitment and alumni bases. In addition to its two newest members, the Southland Conference mem-bership also consists of the University of Central Arkansas, Lamar University, McNeese State University, Nicholls State University, Northwestern State University, Sam Houston State University, Southeastern Louisiana University, Stephen F. Austin State University and Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi. All told, the membership of the Southland encompasses approximately 120,000 current students and an alumni base of nearly 700,000. Famous alums from current Southland Conference schools include former CBS news anchor Dan Rather (Sam Houston State), NBA executive Joe Dumars (Mc-Neese State), ABC news anchor Robin Roberts (Southeastern Louisiana), ma-jor League Baseball stars Kevin Millar (Lamar) and Mike Miley (Southeastern Louisiana), NBA legend Scottie Pippen (Central Arkansas), Grammy Award-winning musicians Don Henley and Rodney Crowell (both Stephen F. Austin), NFL standout Lardarius Webb (Nicholls State), PGA Tour golfer Chris Stroud (Lamar), award-winning filmmaker Richard Linklater (Sam Houston State, American Idol winner Kris Allen (Central Arkansas), NCAA football coach Charlie Strong (Central Arkansas), TV personality Kathie Lee Gifford (Oral Roberts), and NFL coaching legend O.A. “Bum” Phillips (Lamar, Stephen F. Austin), The cities of the Southland are diverse and progressive, ranging from international business and cultural centers such as Houston, New Orleans, Tulsa and Little Rock, to the historical cities ofNacogdoches, Texas, and Natchitoches, La., to the home of the modern oil boom, Beaumont, Texas, to the unique Cajun French cultures found in the Louisiana cities of Thibodaux and Lake Charles. Southland Conference institutions also draw large numbers of students from the metropolitan areas of Dallas-Fort Worth, San Antonio, Baton Rouge, Austin, and Shreveport. The Southland sponsors 17 championship sports, all at the NCAA Division I level. The eight men’s sports include baseball, basketball, cross country, football, golf, tennis, and indoor andoutdoor track and field. The women compete for nine championships in basketball, cross country, golf, soc-cer, softball, tennis, indoor and outdoor track and field, and volleyball.

Year-by-Year Series




2011-12 in Review



Since the first team took the court in 1908, the women’s basketball program at Northwestern has always scored a lot of points and win a lot of games. From the formative days of the program, the Lady Demons have lit up the scoreboard. That’s never been more true than the last 25 years, with NSU ranking among the national scoring leaders year after year. The Lady Demons have finished as high as fourth in the nation in 1984-85 (88.0 ppg), 1985-86 (87.5) and 1989-90 (86.6). Dating back to the early 1970s, when little at-tention was given to women’s athletics in college, the Lady Demons were already drawing attention with winning records and postseason success. In fact, while women’s sports were not yet funded by the university budget, the Lady Demons earned a trip to the National Women’s Invitational Tournament in 1973, led by volunteer coach Lou Lewis Baxter, a physical education professor. Recognized officially (and funded) by the uni-versity for the 1974-75 season, the Lady Demons hit the court running, posting an 18-9 record un-der head coach Mary Jane Mayfield. In April, 1975 Northwestern became the first university in Louisiana to issue full athletic schol-arships to women, when NSU athletes Pat Nolen, Diane Pittman, Emma Ellerman, Louise “Do” Bo-nin, Sherrill Landry, Terri McDonnell, Inez Brew, Mona Davidson, Janie Wallace and Margaret Langford were the recipients. Tammy Primeaux and Lisa Brewer were high school seniors who ac-cepted scholarships to play basketball for the Lady Demons. In 1974-75, the Lady Demons advanced to the Louisiana Association of Intercollegiate Athletics for Women basketball tournament, splitting four games with Southwestern Louisiana before mov-ing onto the AIAW Region IV tournament. The Lady Demons repeated the accomplish-ment for the next three years under Charlotte Corley, posting a 14-13 record in state tourna-ments and an 8-8 mark in regional tournaments. While the Lady Demons were a powerful force in state women’s basketball under their first three coaches, it was under the leadership of Pat Nolen Pierson that the Lady Demons tasted their first bit of national recognition.

After finishing her playing career with the Lady Demons and graduating with honors, she came within one game of claiming a state champion-ship in her only year of high school coaching at her alma mater, Pitkin High School. She took over the Northwestern program fol-lowing that season, just 23 years old. During her nine years as head coach, the Lady Demons became a force on the national level as women’s basketball moved into the NCAA Division I main-stream around the country after playing in the As-sociation of Intercollegiate Athletics for Women in the 1970s. A formidable partnership was created when Pierson hired James Smith as assistant coach in 1980. He was responsible for installing the Lady Demons’ trademark fast-break offense. The Pier-son-Smith tandem won 71 percent of their games (135-56) in their seven years together. During those years, Northwestern became a fixture in the national Top 10 scoring rankings. That attack appealed to top athletes like Lonnie Banks, Teressa Thomas, Annie Harris, Linda Gray-son and Sandy Pugh, highly-recruited prep stars who became Lady Demon greats. The Lady Demons won three straight Gulf Star Conference championships (1984-86), receiving votes for the AP Top 20 each year. The 1985-86 squad made the biggest breakthrough, setting a single season record for victories and becom-ing the first Northwestern team to participate in postseason play at the NCAA Division I level. That team, led by Thomas, Banks and Harris, stunned 1985 NCAA Final Four entry Northeast Louisiana (ranked No. 4 in USA Today Top 25) 86-83 on Jan. 30, 1986. Northwestern had a 20-point halftime lead and held off a rally as Har-ris ripped in 37 points and Thomas pumped in 25 more to go along with eight assists and Banks, at 5-5, snagged 14 rebounds. A pair of late-season road losses at Southeast-ern Louisiana and Sam Houston probably kept the Lady Demons out of the 32-team NCAA Tourna-ment. However, the NWIT issued an invitation to Northwestern and it was well-received on both ends. By the end of the NWIT in Amarillo, Texas, the Lady Demons had won over the local crowd and

nearly won the tournament title. Seeded sixth, Northwestern topped Tennessee Tech, 77-71, and squeaked by Duke, 89-88, on a last second jumper by Harris to reach the championship contest. As a crowd of 2,600 Texans cheered wildly “on another night in Lady Demon Land,” as the local newspaper put it, Northwestern battled to the last minute before falling 100-91 to Idaho. Thomas and Harris were All-Tournament picks. Thomas had a national record 19 assists in an 88-77 win over Mississippi College earlier in her senior year. The Lady Demons won a fourth straight confer-ence title in 1986-87 with a win over Southwest Texas, sharing the title with Stephen F. Austin. Sandy Pugh was named conference MVP, the first time a Lady Demon was named conference MVP. At the end of the 1987 campaign, Pierson made a difficult decision and left Northwestern to re-juvenate the women’s basketball program at East Carolina. It was an easy decision, however, to elevate Smith to the head coaching position. In 17 years, he took the program to even greater heights while surpassing Pierson as the all-time winningest coach in Lady Demon history during the 1995-96 season. Senior Linda Grayson combined with junior college transfer Pam Hudson to lead another landmark year for the Lady Demons in 1988-89. Smith’s second team knocked off No. 11 Stephen F. Austin, 78-76, and earned an at-large invitation to the NCAA Tournament. In 1989-90, the program took another huge step forward when Hudson won the Division I rebounding title (15.2 rpg), finished second in the scoring race (28.4 ppg) and rewrote school and Southland Conference records on the way to becoming the first major college All-American in Northwestern basketball history. She was a second-team pick on the Basketball Writers of America team and a honorable mention Kodak All-American.

NSU all-time leading rebounder, Joskeen Garner

History of Lady Demon Basketball




In 1993, the Lady Demons posted another win-ning campaign (24-8) with a freshman nucleus led by Joskeen Garner, the Southland Conference Freshman of the Year and a first team All-SLC pick. Northwestern accepted a bid to the NWIT and claimed the consolation championship (third place). The 1993-94 Lady Demons posted their 15th consecutive winning season with a 20-8 record as Garner was the nation’s second leading rebounder (13.8 rpg) and named Louisiana’s Co-Player of the Year with Pam Thomas of Louisiana Tech. Northwestern posted its fourth consecutive 20-win season en route to a record-tying 25-7 record in 1994-95. The Lady Demons captured their first Southland Conference championship, finishing league play with a 16-2 record. North-western lost to SFA in the tournament champion-ship game, but accepted a bid to the NWIT for the second time in three years. The seventh-seeded Lady Demons were the surprise team in Amarillo, Texas. Northwestern opened with an 80-64 win over Clemson. They followed with a 103-93 win over Notre Dame in a semifinal shootout before losing a hard-fought battle against Texas A&M in the finals, 85-81. Joskeen Garner became the first Lady Demon since Pam Hudson to earn All-American honors, being named to the Associated Press Honorable Mention All-American team. The Lady Demons again posted impressive numbers in 1995-96 while posting their 17th straight winning season, one win shy of a fifth straight 20-win season. Northwestern went through a rebuilding pro-cess in 1996-97 but found a star in Judy Clark, named Southland Conference Freshman of the Year. The 1998-99 squad put their stamp on the the Lady Demon record books. The team reeled off 13 straight wins from Dec. 20, 1998 to Feb. 6,

1999, a new Lady Demon record and finished the year with a 22-7 overall record. Clark added another piece of hardware to her trophy case as she was selected Southland Confer-ence Player of the Year. The Southland Conference regular season champions lost to Stephen F. Austin in the tour-nament finals, but once again were invited to the WNIT, the third time in six years for NSU. In a new format, the Lady Demons lost in the first round on the road against Arkansas. In 1999-00 the Lady Demons (24-6) notched an .800 winning percentage, the best in school history. The Lady Demons also had the third most wins in school history. The 1999-00 season did end in disappointment, however, as the Lady Demons failed to earn a bid to the NCAA tournament despite a higher RPI ranking than several teams offered bids. The 2000-01 team led by Kia Converse rolled off a school-record 15 straight wins from Jan. 1 to March 8, finishing the season with a mark of 23-7. The Lady Demons advanced to the tourna-ment finals, only to lose to SFA. Converse became the SLC’s all-time best 3-point shooter with 218 career 3s. The 2003-04 team looked loaded in what turned out to be Coach Smith’s final season, and the pieces fell into place. The Lady Demons rolled through the SLC season with a 14-2 mark, including an 11-0 start. The team finished 24-7, tying for the second most wins in a season while winning the SLC regular-season and tournament crowns, advancing to the second NCAA Tourna-ment in school history. Cooda Dobin became NSU’s all-time assist leader with 921 career dishes. She also became the first player in NCAA history, men or women, to lead the nation in assists per game for three straight seasons. She was featured in the NCAA Final Four official program. Dobin later returned to the Lady Demon pro-gram as an assistant coach for the 2011-12 season. On Sept. 1, 2004, the torch was passed. Smith stepped down as head coach and Lady Demon player and assistant coach Jennifer Graf, after be-ing groomed by her mentor for the last two sea-sons, took over as head coach. Graf stepped down at NSU after accumlating over 100 wins for the Lady Demons at the conclu-sion of the 2011-12 season, and on Apr. 4, 2012 the first set of co-head coaches in progarm history was hired. Brooke Stoehr, who started at point guard for rival Louisiana Tech from 2000-02, was hired from Texas Tech with her husband Scott. Four Lady Demons have had their jerseys re-tired after great careers. Hanging in the rafters of Prather Coliseum, alongside the many champi-onship banners, are Pam Hudson’s No.45, Linda Grayson’s No. 33, Lonnie Banks’ No. 10, and Ter-essa Thomas’ No. 25. It’s a safe bet, looking at the fast track record of success for Lady Demon hoops, that more banners will be raised soon.

Linda Grayson is NSU’s all-time leading scorer and the only Lady Demon with 2,000 or more points

Dr. Randall J. WebbNorthwestern State President Dr. Randall J. Webb stated when he became Northwestern State Uni-versity’s 17th president in July of 1996 that his primary objective would be to help make his Alma Mater the best institution it could be. It is apparent after 16 years that Webb is achieving that admirable goal. Enrollment has reached record levels during Webb’s tenure as president and exceeded 10,500 for the first time in history in the fall of 2004. Webb has also been at the forefront in recent years of moving the university to-ward higher admission standards, which has resulted in some enrollment declines but in the enrollment of students with greater academic potential

and aptitude. Retention has increased at the university, the average ACT score of students has gone up, and high school student leaders are enrolling in Northwestern in record numbers. There has been a substantial increase in the number of high school valedictorians and salutatorians among first-time freshmen at the university. External funding for NSU has also increased dramatically under Webb’s leadership. In the first capital campaign in its history, the university received $32.7 million to far exceed its goal of $18.84 million. That funding included the establishment of numerous endowed chairs and professorships to enhance academic programs at the university. In addition to the private funding, Northwestern has received more grant mon-ies in recent years from state and federal agencies and private foundations than at any time since its founding in 1884. Webb has also expanded the university’s outreach by spearheading the development at NSU of the largest electronic education and distance learning network of any university in Louisiana. NSU offers courses and degree programs to students across the nation and world through Internet and compressed video. Millions of dollars have been obtained during Webb’s presidency for new and renovated facilities. A new $6.9 million Wellness, Recreation and Activity Center opened on the campus in 2005; and Morrison Hall, the Family and Consumer Sciences Building, and Williamson Hall have been completely renovated and restored. A new Student Services Center on the site of the former West Caspari Hall was completed in May 2012. Over $32 million in construction by a private company has added two modified residence halls to the campus in recent years. Funding has also been obtained to rebuild the East Caspari Hall and replace the underground electrical distribution system. Northwestern academic programs and athletic teams continue to receive positive national recognition. The Computer Information Systems program, for example, won five consecutive national championships in academic competition in systems analysis, and the NSU men’s basketball team defeated Iowa in the NCAA national championship tournament. A former center on the Northwestern football team, Webb is an avid supporter of the university’s athletic programs and has held positions of leadership at the national level in intercollegiate athletics. He has served as chair of the board of direc-tors of the Southland Conference and has been a member of the prestigious NCAA Execu-tive Council and the NCAA Division I Board of Directors that oversee all major policy deci-sions by the governing body for major college sports. He currently serves as the Southland Conference representative on the NCAA Presidential Advisory Group. A 1965 graduate of Northwestern in mathematics and business education, Webb earned a master of science degree in mathematics from NSU in 1966. He received a doctorate in education from the University of Southern Mississippi in 1971 with a concentration in mathematics and research. Webb was a member of the faculty of Longwood College in Farmville, Va, from 1966 until 1974. He served as Director of Higher Education and Teacher Certification in the Louisiana Department of Education from 1974 through 1976. He moved to Southeastern Louisiana University in 1976 and in 13 years there held positions as director of institutional research, EEO officer, registrar and member of the mathematics faculty. He became Dean of Instruction and Graduate Studies and professor of mathematics at Northwestern in 1989. In that position, he was responsible for campus-wide policy development, planning, advancement, and review of both graduate and undergraduate pro-grams. While Webb was in that position, graduate enrollment increased by 35 percent, and internal funding for faculty research increased by 200 percent. As dean, Webb proposed the concept for NSU’s successful Freshman Connection Pro-gram and served as a member of the writing team for a grant proposal that resulted in a five year, $1.7 million Title III grant to improve student retention. He also chaired the steering committee for NSU’s Self Study for the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools.

Jerry PierceVice President • External Affairs Jerry Pierce is the Cal Ripken of the Northwestern State ath-letic program. Day after day, year after year, Pierce is in the lineup, fielding his position with aplomb, and delivering at the plate, knocking a ball out of the park from time to time but always taking an understated profile, seeing himself as a role player. Beginning his 48th year on the university’s staff, Pierce’s im-pact on NSU and the city of Natchitoches can’t be measured as easily as Ripkin’s Baseball Hall of Fame statistics, but they are

equally indelible. He begins his 22nd year as vice president of external affairs at Northwestern. A significant aspect of his job is oversight of intercollegiate athletics. Pierce works closely with athletic direc-tor Greg Burke and all NSU coaches and staff members to keep Northwestern athletics compet-ing at a championship level week after week, month after month and year after year. Pierce is an avid tennis player who has been a member of USTA teams that have won more than a dozen state championships, five regional titles and one national championship. Well before moving into the executive position, Pierce had already served his alma mater,

adopted hometown and state with distinction. In his role as vice president, he oversees university operations in athletics, alumni and development, public and media relations and assists President Dr. Randall J. Webb in governmental affairs activities. Many of those duties were his since the 1970s as he worked under four pre-vious presidents as Northwestern advanced from NAIA to NCAA College Division to NCAA Division I athletic status in 1977. A 1961 graduate of Northwestern, Pierce served as trainer for the Demon football team during his college years, working closely with legendary coach Jack Clayton. After earning his jour-nalism degree, Pierce went to work for the New Orleans Times Picayune, serving as a reporter and editor. He was named execu-tive sports editor at the age of 24. In 1965, he chose to raise his two sons in Natchitoches and returned to NSU as sports information director. He was promoted to news bureau director two years later and assumed additional responsibilities in athletics, alumni affairs and other areas through the years. He founded, in 1972, the Louisiana Sports Hall of Fame facil-ity in Prather Coliseum on the NSU campus, providing a home for an entity created in 1958. He established annual induction activi-ties that remain in place nearly four decades later, and served as di-rector of the Hall for 19 years until his promotion to vice president forced him to step aside from the volunteer post. He helped guide Northwestern into three athletic confer-ences (Trans America, 1979; Gulf Star, 1983; Southland, 1987) and NCAA Division I status in 1977. He is a past president of the Southland and has served the conference through other offices and committee positions.

In 1994, he was named one of Louisiana’s 20 most influential sports figures by the Times-Picayune. Also on the list were New Orleans Saints owner Tom Benson, LSU athletic director Joe Dean and basketball coach Dale Brown, and Grambling football coaching legend Eddie Robinson. His salesmanship and managerial skills were instrumental in convincing Tri-Star Productions to film the 1989 smash hit movie Steel Magnolias, with an all-star cast including Julia Roberts, Sally Field and Dylan McDermott in Natchitoches and on the NSU campus. The movie’s impact on tourism in Natchitoches continues to resonate more than two decades later. Pierce is regarded as one of the most effective legislative liaisons for Louisiana’s higher education system. He is also a popular after dinner speaker and master of ceremonies who has spoken at hundreds of events since 1965. In addition to his administrative responsibilities, Pierce is a member of the Journalism De-partment faculty. He is the author of one book and editor of two others and has written thou-sands of editorials, columns, features and other articles for newspapers and magazines. Pierce and his wife Regina, a teacher, live on Cane River Lake in Natchitoches. He has two sons, Randy and Rick, both NSU graduates; and three grandchildren, twins Evan and Amanda, 22, and Miranda, 11, and two stepchildren, Nicholas and Natalie.

Greg BurkeDirector of AthleticsThe Burke FileAGE: 56 (Born Oct. 22, 1956) • HOMETOWN: Alliance, Ohio • HIGH SCHOOL: Marlington ’74 • COLLEGE: Mt. Union ’78 (cum laude)POSTGRADUATE: Kent State ’86 • BEFORE HE WAS A.D.: Sports writer, Alliance (Ohio) Review, 1972-78; director of news and sports information, Hiram (Ohio) College (1978-85); administrative intern, NSU athletics, 1985-86; director, NSU Athletic Association, 1986-92; director of athletic develop-ment, University of Akron, 1992-96.BIG FAN OF: Cleveland Browns, Indians and Cavaliers • INTERESTS: Working out, watching ESPN and VH1 Classic, family outings. In his 17th year as director of athletics at Northwestern State, Greg Burke has received national acclaim for the job he’s done in his adopted hometown. Burke has been athletics director at Northwestern since Aug. 29, 1996, when his first day included speaking at the annual NSU/Independence Bowl Kickoff Luncheon.

Burke is the longest serving AD at any Louisiana institution. He has steered NSU athletics to many of its greatest accomplishments while overseeing a program that has fielded championship caliber teams in nearly all of the school’s NCAA Division I sports. Two years ago, he was included among 29 winners of the Under Amour AD of the Year Award presented by the National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics (NACDA). He was also among four winners chosen to be involved in a Street and Smith’s SportsBusiness Journal panel discussion on current Division I athletics issues. Joining NSU’s Burke were Purdue’s Morgan Burke (no relation), Samford’s Bob Roller and Lee Fowler of North Carolina State, with the transcript of their discussion distributed to national media by the Sports Business Daily. Burke just completed a term as the 2010-11 president of the Football Championship Subdivision Athletics Directors Association. Burke’s 16 years as athletic director include 32 Southland Conference regular-season or tournament championships, 54 All-American and Academic All-American student athletes, and three U.S. Olympic competitors. Seventeen NSU teams have taken part in NCAA or WNIT postseason competition. Under his guidance, Northwestern State has led all 13 public institutions in Louisiana, and all 12 Southland Conference institutions, in the NCAA’s Academic Progress Rate and Graduation Success Rate reports. The school’s athletic facilities have undergone nearly $7 million in improvements in the past four years. NSU in 2004-05 became the first (and remains the only) Southland Conference member in the league’s five decades of history to sweep football, men’s basketball and baseball championships in the same athletic year. It’s been done only once in Southeastern Conference history, by Alabama in 1933-34, and only four times in Big Ten Conference history, the last time by Michigan State in 1979-80. Those accomplishments have come with one of the more modest athletic budgets in the state and conference. Burke’s management skill and fundraising ability have been pivotal. Burke generated a $2 million series of sponsorships for new scoreboards installed for 2008-09 at all NSU athletic venues and spearheaded the $700,000 Second Century Circle fencing project for athletic venues. Burke has displayed a remarkable ability to hire dynamic head coaches, including several whose success at Northwestern State has propelled them to national prominence in subsequent positions. From his first day on the job, Burke has stressed the importance of having a balanced athletic program. To that end, tremendous competitive strides have been made in women’s athletics under his guidance. The NSU soccer program was the first one in Louisiana ever to reach the NCAA Tournament and remains the only one with multiple appearances. Volleyball set attendance records and has made its best-ever showings in conference play in recent years. In softball, NSU posted the nation’s most improved win total in 2010 regular-season play under second-year coach Donald Pickett, and moved among league contend-ers in 2011. The Lady Demons joined Stanford as the only women’s tennis programs in the country in 2010 with only one regular-season loss, while sweeping Southland regular-season and tournament titles and making a first-ever NCAA Team Tournament appearance. While on-field success by Demon and Lady Demon teams has been a source of pride for NSU supporters, Burke is equally proud of the tone which has been set within the NSU athletic program as it relates to academic achievement and community service. The academic accomplishments are reflected annually in the NCAA’s APR and GSR studies. Community service by NSU student-athletes, coaches and staff more than doubled to over 5,000 hours in 2009-10 and remained at that level in 2010-11. Burke spearheaded the adoption of the slogan “Great Tradition, Brighter Future” for NSU Athletics, and the creation of NSU Athletics “Cornerstones” for student-athletes: “Academic Achievement, Personal Responsibility, Competitive Success … Every Minute, Every Hour, Every Day!” In 2005, Burke was one of three recipients of the All-America Football Foundation’s Gen. Robert R. Neyland Outstanding Athletic Director Award and that same year, was also tabbed as one of two Natchi-toches Parish Cenla Newsmakers of 2005 by the Alexandria Town Talk newspaper’s editorial staff. He received the 2006 “Outstanding Alumni Award” from his alma mater, Marlington High School in Alliance, Ohio, recognizing his community service and professional achievements. Burke became one of only 21 alumni honored since the award was instituted in 1982. In June 2006, he was a featured speaker and panelist at the National Association of Collegiate Ath-letic Directors convention in New Orleans, addressing members of the College Athletic Business Man-agers of America and also participating in a panel discussion of “Fundraising from an Athletic Director’s Perspective” speaking to the National Association of Athletic Development Directors. Since 2007, Burke has been a member of the prestigious NCAA Championships/Sports Manage-ment Cabinet, a 49-person panel which makes recommendations to the NCAA Board of Directors on key issues facing Division I athletics. He previously served a four-year term on the NCAA Division I Football Issues Committee (1999-2002) and concurrently served a term on the eight-member NCAA FCS Committee that administers the national playoffs. Since his committee term expired, Burke has served as a site supervisor for Foot-ball Championship Subdivision playoff games across the nation and he is regarded as one of the country’s premiere advocates of FCS football. In 2004 and 2011, NSU received the highest possible rating, “fully certified,” from the National Collegiate Athletic Association, affirming that Northwestern operates its athletic program in substantial conformity with operating principles adopted by the NCAA Division I membership. Burke is a past president of the Natchitoches Kiwanis Club and remains active in that civic group. He has also been part of the steering committee for the Natchitoches Christmas Festival and is a former president of the Natchitoches Area Jaycees. He is involved with the American Heart Association and was 2010 March of Dimes chairman locally. He and his wife, Susu, is a Natchitoches native, NSU graduate and an elementary teacher. Their 18-year-old daughter, Catherine, graduated from St. Mary’s High School in May of 2012 and is attending Louisiana Tech.

Since 2006, he has served as Faculty Athletic Representative for NSU. This role includes the chair of the NSU Athletic Council. Since 2006, Northwestern State University has made numer-ous paradigm shifts in how it addresses the needs of student-ath-

letes; however, one thing has been consistent in that its student-athletes are winners on the field and in the classroom. All have heard about higher educational institutions being penalized by the NCAA for academic improprieties. NSU has attempted to be a model program of “Doing Things the Right Way,” by following the Athletic Department motto: Great Tradition – Brighter Future. This past year, NSU was one of only four schools in the State of Louisiana that did not receive any penalties for low NCAA Academic Progress Rates (APR) with baseball, soccer, softball, tennis, women’s indoor & outdoor track, and volleyball rating in the top three in the Southland Conference. Among the 40 Northwestern State student-athletes and athletic staff members who graduated in spring 2010, 10 of the 20 receiving undergraduate degrees graduated either cum laude or magna cum laude. Graduation rates of student-athletes in soccer, volleyball, men’s basketball, baseball and football ranked in the top four of the Conference. These ac-complishments could not have been achieved without the support and efforts of the student-athletes, coaches, faculty, and administration. Also, Jody is the Director for the Louisiana Addiction Technology Transfer Center at NSU. He has served on the National Addiction Technology Transfer Center’s (ATTC) - Practice and National Leadership Institute Committee. In addition, he has coordinated five nationally recognized leadership institutes for Louisiana, Texas and New Mexico and a member of the National ATTC Leadership Directors Committee.
