LADY DEMON SOFTBALL



2015 PREVIEW

The Northwestern State softball team enters the new season with high expectations following its second straight Southland Conference Tournament title one year ago. The Lady Demons were picked by the league’s head coaches to win the 2015 Southland regular-season softball title, tallying six first-place votes and 116 points. In the sports information directors’ poll, the squad garnered five first-place votes and was picked second behind McNeese State. In 2014, NSU was on point in all phases of the game, finishing as the only Southland institution in the top three league leaders in batting average (.307), team ERA (3.54) and fielding percentage (0.965). If the Lady Demons are to be successful in 2015, they’ll have to do so without Tara McKenney and Cali Burke, a pair of seniors from last year’s squad who finished first (69) and tied for third (46) in hits, respectively. Still, Northwestern State returns 12 letterwinners and is expected to be a deeper squad than a year ago. Included in that group is NSU’s leader in home runs (14; Cassandra Barefield), RBIs (41; Kellye Kincannon), walks (20; Brittney Jones), doubles (10; Brittney Virgoe & Barefield), total bases (98; Barefield),

Starting left fielder Kellye Kincannon (No. 32) led NSU with 41 RBIs including 11 multiple-RBI games while hitting .357 one year ago as a freshman.

Head coach Donald Pickett had led NSU to 89 wins over the past three seasons.

slugging percentage (.706; Kincannon), hit by pitch (12; Barefield) and on base percentage (.419; Kincannon). In the circle, NSU returns four pitchers who will look to make up for the loss of 2014 ace and senior Kaylee Guidry (12-5 record, 3.71 ERA and 10 com-plete games in 106.2 innings pitched). Included in the four returners is junior Baylee Gray who picked up the win in her last five outings of the 2014 regular season and SLC Tournament. The Mansfield, Texas native finished the season with a 7-5 record and 4.54 ERA along with an impressive 55/27 strikeout to walk ratio. NSU’s No. 2 starter, sophomore Shelby Sells, is also back after throwing 92.1 innings as a freshman including 15 starts and 20 total appearances. She finished with a 6-8 record and 5.05 ERA. Fellow sophomores Skylar Cagle (5-4 record, 5.33 ERA in 11 starts) and Shelby Alexander (3 appearances, 6.00 ERA) round out the returning staff members. The Lady Demons take part in four tournaments in 2015, highlighted by a season-opening trip to Los Angeles for UCLA’s So Cal Collegiate Classic. NSU’s West Coast adventure will offer a homecoming for Virgoe, an Anaheim, Calif. native, and the squad’s starting third baseman. NSU opens its home slate on Feb. 14 when it welcomes Baylor and

Jackson State for the annual Natchitoches Historic District Development Commission Lady Demon Classic. The two-day event will feature two games against a Lady Bears program that defeated NSU in last year’s NCAA Regionals and advanced to the Women’s College World Series. After a trip to Jackson, Miss. for games against Belmont, Morehead State and Jackson State as a part of the Jackson State Tournament, the Lady Demons close out tournament play with the Purple and Gold Challenge from the campus of LSU. There, NSU takes on Florida Atlantic, Ball State (twice) and LSU. Three days later, the squad is back in Baton Rouge for a midweek game to close out nonconference play against the Tigers. NSU opens conference play on March 6 with Incarnate Word. Sam Hous-ton State, Central Arkansas and Nicholls join the Cardinals as Southland mates slated to visit Lady Demon Diamond. In-state foes including ULM, Louisiana Tech and UL Lafayette also come to Natchitoches. For the second time in three seasons, the Lady Demons host the South-land Conference Tournament, which will take place May 7-9. In 2013, NSU captured the tournament in front of its home fans in thrilling fashion, using a three-hit, seventh-inning to rally from a 4-3 deficit and win, 5-4 against Sam Houston State.

Sophomore right fielder Brittney Jones posted a .296 batting average while leading the Lady Demons with 20 walks during her first year with the program one year ago.

DONALD PICKETTHead Coach7th Season Overall (153-165)7th Season at NSU

Donald Pickett enters his seventh year at the helm of the Northwestern State soft-ball program after guiding the Lady Demons to consecutive Southland Conference Tour-nament crowns and NCAA Tournament appearances in 2013 and 2014. One season ago, under Pickett’s direction, NSU posted a 30-22 record including a 15-10 mark in Southland play. Beginning on April 12 against Central Arkansas, NSU won 13 of its final 16 games including three straight at the conference tournament in Ham-mond. With the conference tournament title in tact behind an 11-0 victory over McNeese State, Pickett’s squad headed to the Waco Regional alongside No. 13 Baylor, Houston and Tulsa. For their efforts, nine Lady Demons were named to the All-Southland squad. Six NSU players were also selected as members of the Louisiana Sports Writers Association’s all-Louisiana squad. Senior Tara McKenney and freshman Kellye Kincannon also became the first NSU players in over 10 years to earn All-South Region honors from the National Fastpitch Coaches Association. Several Lady Demons climbed the school’s individual career records list highlighted by McKenney who finished fifth in at-bats (712), third in hits (246) and third in triples (14). Not to be outdone, Cassandra Barefield entered her 2015 senior campaign second all-time with 36 home runs. In 2013, Northwestern State found itself in similar circumstances. As they did in 2014, the Lady Demons took second place in the regular season after a hot finish to the season. When it mattered, NSU posted three straight conference tournament victories including a dramatic 5-4 win against Sam Houston State to claim the title. The squad made an NCAA Tournament appearance in the Baton Rouge Regional and played a nailbiter against Super Regional qualifier UL Lafayette. Pickett was voted Coach of the Year honors on the 2013 All-Louisiana softball team, outpolling his NCAA Tournament counterparts from LSU and UL Lafayette among the voters from the Louisiana Sports Writers Association. Five Lady Demons were included on the All-Louisiana Team. The 2013 haul of accomplishments included the best winning percentage in the program’s history (.727), the longest winning streak (11) since 1998, the fewest losses (15) since 1983 and the best 20-game start (16-4) since 1990. The Lady Demons won every conference series except the opener at eventual champion McNeese State. Five players altered the school record books as the Lady Demons finished four spots higher than predicted in a preseason coaches’ poll. “Donald deserves all the credit in the world for resurrecting the NSU softball pro-gram. It was very satisfying for me to see how happy he was when the team won the Southland Conference tournament championship and had the privilege of representing our conference at the NCAA Regionals, because I knew very well the arduous and perse-vering path that he had taken over the past five seasons,” said NSU director of athletics Greg Burke. Meanwhile, the renovation of the Lady Demon Softball Complex was completed, giving NSU an outstanding facility that already has been chosen to host the 2015 Southland Conference Tournament after impressing everyone as the 2013 confer-ence tourney was played here.

But there are more steps forward to take. Donald Pickett has a plan, and he’s work-ing it. To see where Pickett plans to carry NSU softball, you only see where he’s already been as an assistant coach. Pickett helped Tennessee-Chattanooga to three NCAA Tournament appearances and the brink of a Women’s College World Series berth while on the Mocs’ staff. The 36-year-old Pickett finished his 17th season of collegiate coaching experience, his fifth as head coach at NSU. He spent two years helping establish a brand-new pro-gram at Memphis after working in a pair of highly successful programs at Tennessee-Chattanooga and Chattanooga State Community College. At Chattanooga State, Pickett was part of a staff that coached the team to three top-five finishes in the junior college

Head coach Donald Pickett has led Northwestern State to two straight postseason appearances, most recently in the Waco Regional against Baylor and Houston.

softball world series along with three regional and conference championships. He also has coached the Austin (Tenn.) Eagles American Softball Association sum-mer team to four national tournament appearances and two top-five finishes in the ASA nationals. Pickett learned about the Northwestern coaching post from Pat Murphy, the coach of College World Series participant Alabama, who was among several nationally-prom-inent coaches consulted during the summer 2008 search for a new Lady Demons head coach.

“Starting with his high level of character and integrity, Donald Pickett has an amaz-ing reputation in the collegiate softball world. He will serve as a good role model for our student-athletes while also providing them with the motivation and coaching needed to return Northwestern State to the point of challenging for Southland Conference titles and NCAA postseason berths,” said NSU director of athletics Greg Burke, announcing Pickett’s hiring. Working for five seasons under coach Frank Reed at UTC, Pickett helped the Mocs advance within one win of the World Series. The Mocs had an overall 210-126 record while picking up three Southern Conference championships before Pickett joined coach Wendy Thees at Memphis following the first year of softball for the Tigers. Also serving as assistant to Reed at Chattanooga State CC for three seasons, Pick-ett helped post a 151-27 record, including a 62-3 mark in 2001. A year earlier, Pickett was part of the National Fastpitch Coaching Staff of the Year, and in 2002, Pickett was among the Chattanooga State team that was inducted into the Chattanooga Sports Hall of Fame. A 2005 UTC graduate, Pickett is regarded as an excellent recruiter whose expertise coaching hitting and defense is recognized nationally. Coaching and administrative colleagues of Pickett’s were effusive in their praise. “Donald is ready to be a head coach,” said Thees. “His softball knowledge is incred-ible and he does a great job of getting to know his players and recruits.” Said Lynn Parkes, the senior woman administrator at Memphis: “Donald Pickett is a man of character and integrity. He loves the game of softball and loves working with young people. I think he will do a fantastic job.” In Pickett’s first season as assistant coach at his alma mater, the 2001 Lady Mocs opened the season with back-to-back no-hitters and knocked off top-25 teams in Ohio State and Baylor, rolling to a 44-15 record while never dropping more than two games in a row. The Lady Mocs posted two upset wins over top-seeded and No. 12 ranked Florida Atlantic in the NCAA Regionals. UTC then just missed capturing a berth in the World Series after narrow losses to Georgia Tech and Florida State. “There may not be a better fundamental coach out there,” said UTC’s Reed. “He is a

good person, the type of person your family would like to be associated with, and he is perhaps one of the most ‘up and coming’ young coaches out there right now.” A strong reference came from an in-state rival of UTC’s, head coach Torey Acheson at Tennessee Tech. “At Tennessee-Chattanooga, those players all became better under him......techni-cally, his knowledge base is really good....he is an upstanding human being; he was raised right.” Said Laura Mincy, assistant athletic director and SWA at UTC: “Donald is very deter-mined and passionate about college softball. He’s a gem.” Donald is married to Paige Pickett, and they have one daughter, Ainsley Elizabeth (6), born Jan. 9, 2009 in Natchitoches.

With 153 career wins at the helm of NSU, Pickett ranks third in program history and trails Gay McNutt (1995-2000) by only eight victories.

Amy Hooks enters her third season as assistant coach with the Northwestern State softball program.

Hooks works closely with the Lady Demons’ infielders and catchers. In 2014, Northwestern State posted the fewest number of errors (49) and highest fielding per-centage (.965) among the conference’s 12 competing schools. NSU catchers finished the season tied for third, throwing out 17 runners. Hooks, a native of Mesquite, Texas (North Mesquite HS), is a 2011 graduate of the University of Texas.

As a senior, she hit for a .333 average with 13 homers, .459 on-base percentage and a .639 slugging average, while posting a .996 fielding percentage behind the plate. During her junior year, she boasted a .347 average with 11 homers, a .473 on-base percentage, .639 slugging and .991 fielding percentage. Hooks led Texas to the NCAA Regional Championships all four years she was there. “Amy has added a lot of energy to our staff. She carries a lot of knowledge and is a big help in recruiting in this region, and we’re are excited to have her part of our staff,” said head coach Donald Pickett. Hooks competed in the National Pro Fastpitch league for the NY/NJ Comets during the summer 2013, aiding the Comets in a number of wins over the four-team league competitors. The catcher also played nationally for the Texas Glory Gold out of McKinney, Texas, for head coach Dan Adkins. She guided the club to a 13th place finish at the ASA Gold Nationals in 2007 and a fifth place showing at the 2005 16U ASA Nationals. In high school, Hooks was a three-time All-District 12-5A First Team performer. She won District 12-5A Offensive Player of the Year in 2004 and 2006, and led the dis-trict in hitting in 2004 and 2006 with a .600 and .594 average, respectively.

KATHY SHELTONAssistant CoachFirst season at NSUBaylor University, 2013

Northwestern State head softball coach Donald Pickett an-nounced Aug. 7 the addition of former Baylor standout Kathy Shelton, the Big XII Conference Defensive Player of the Year in 2013, as an assistant coach. “It’s really exciting to get a person like Kathy,” seventh-year head coach Donald Pickett said. “She’s a really positive, upbeat and energetic person. She’s from McKinney, Texas and we’ve had quite a few recruits from that area in the past. We think she’ll fit in here real well from a chemistry standpoint.” Shelton comes into a program that has made back-to-back NCAA Tournament ap-pearances and won 75 games in the past two seasons under Pickett. She joins third-year assistant Amy Hooks, a former Big XII Conference Player of the Year (2011) at Texas, on the Lady Demons’ coaching staff. At Baylor, Shelton played for former Demon football tight end (1988-89) and NSU assistant softball coach (1990-92) Glenn Moore, the Lady Bears’ highly successful head coach for the past 14 seasons. As a four-year starter, Shelton made a lasting impact on the Baylor record book. During her 2013 senior campaign, Shelton secured the program’s single-season record for steals (41) as well as the all-time mark (121). Following the season, Shelton was one of just 20 Big XII student-athletes to receive the Dr. Prentice Gautt Postgraduate Scholar-ship. As a sophomore, Shelton led the team in batting average (.359), hits (74), runs (35) and stolen bases (33) playing a vital role in the Lady Bears’ 2011 World Series berth. “Kathy was a really big part of the Baylor program,” Pickett said. “When you watched Kathy play you could tell she was an exceptional leader and all the kids that played with her respected her. “I think she’ll bring the same qualities to our team as someone who the girls can look up to. Hopefully all those traits can help our kids grow and mature as players and individuals.” Shelton served as a hitting instructor at the Baylor University Coaches Clinic in 2014 and spent the last six years as a Baylor softball camp counselor. Shelton received her Master’s of Science in Communication Sciences & Disorders from Baylor in August.

The Walker native received the win in ten straight decisions between April 13 and May 11, including the Southland Conference Tournament championship, where she limited McNeese to two hits while holding the Cowgirls scoreless in five innings on the hill. She finished the 2014 season with a team-leading 12-5 record and 3.71 ERA in 20 games started. She held hitters to a staff low .224 batting average while throwing ten complete games. She was the Southland Conference Pitcher of the Week on May 5 and was honored as an All-Southland Conference Sec-ond Team Selection. Other accolades include being a second team selection to the LSWA All-Louisiana Collegiate Softball Team in addition to being a second team Southland Conference All-Academic member. In 2013, her first year with NSU following a transfer from LSU-Eunice, Guidry posted a 12-3 record behind an impres-sive 2.06 ERA. Her 1.02 ERA at the conclusion of the regular season was top among Southland pitchers. She earned All-Southland Second Team honors for her efforts. Guidry’s mother played softball at UL Lafayette and had her jersey retired by the Ragin Cajuns while her aunt Nancy Percle (Ensminger) and aunt Claudia Percle (Gremillion) played softball at NSU. Nancy was inducted into the Graduate “N” Club Hall of Fame in 2012.

Guidry is currently pursuing a master’s degree in health and human performance at Northwestern State.

Now in its sixth decade of service, 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. Having commemorated its 50th anniversary in 2013, the Southland Con-ference has transformed itself into a dynamic and respected consortium of 13 member universities in three states. Beginning with a historic meeting of five institutions in Dallas on March 15, 1963, the Southland Conference set on an extraordinary course that has proven successful well into its five decades of ex-istence. The successful transformation continues, as the Southland Conference wel-comed four additional members in 2013: Abilene Christian University, Houston Baptist University, the University of Incarnate Word in San Antonio, and the Uni-versity of New Orleans. In addition to its newest members, the Southland also consists of the Uni-versity 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 nearly 140,000 current students and an alumni base of nearly 800,000. Famous alums from current Southland Conference schools include former CBS news anchor Dan Rather (Sam Houston State), NBA executive Joe Dumars (McNeese State), ABC news anchor Robin Roberts (Southeastern Louisiana), Major League Baseball star Wade Miley (Southeastern Louisiana), NBA legend Scottie Pippen (Central Arkansas), and track and field Olympians Kenta Bell (Northwestern State), and Bobby Morrow and Billy Olson (both Abilene Christian). The Southland sponsors 17 championship sports, all at the NCAA Division I level. The eight men’s sports include baseball, basketball, cross country, foot-ball, golf, tennis, and indoor and outdoor track and field. The women compete for nine championships in basketball, cross country, golf, soccer, softball, tennis, indoor and outdoor track and field, and volleyball. The conference earns auto-matic qualification to NCAA championships in baseball, men’s and women’s basketball, men’s and women’s cross country, football, men’s and women’s golf, women’s soccer, softball, men’s and women’s tennis, and volleyball. Continuing its tradition of innovation, the league launched the Southland Conference Television Network in the fall of 2008 and has broadcast more than 160 events. The network has expanded its reach to roughly 13 million house-holds throughout Texas, Louisiana, Arkansas and Oklahoma in recent years, and has also gained national viewership through ESPN3 and Fox College Sports. In its first six years, the network has received recognition for its work, earning nu-merous College Sports Media and Telly Awards. The Southland Conference, in conjunction with the city of Frisco, Texas, and Hunt Sports Group, also serves as the host to the NCAA Division I Football Cham-pionship Game in Frisco, which has been home to the conference headquarters since 2006. The game is played at Frisco’s Toyota Stadium, and after a success-ful three-year run, the partnership was rewarded with a three-year renewal to serve as the national championship host site through the 2015 season.

RETIRED JERSEYS

LADY DEMON SOFTBALL




Northwestern State entered the 2014 softball campaign tied with McNeese State atop the Southland Conference preseason polls, as voted upon by the league’s coaches and sports information directors. With 11 letterwinners, eight starters and two pitchers returning, NSU also led the league with six preseason honorees including first team selections Brianna Rodriguez, Brittany Virgoe, Kaylee Guidry and second team picks Cali Burke, Tara McKenney and Cassandra Barefield.

Despite the returning talent, NSU’s early non-conference schedule was daunting, highlighted by a season opening trip to Troy, Ala. to face North Florida, Middle Tennessee State, Alabama and host Troy. After a difficult 1-4 start, NSU returned to the friendly confines of the Lady Demon Diamond for the first time in 2014 against Mississippi Valley State. Within a two-day span, the Lady Demons outscored MVSU 28-0. Following a midweek loss at Arkansas, NSU headed to the campus of Tennessee-Chattanooga, head coach Donald Pickett’s alma mater, and held their own against strong competition defeating the likes of Butler, Middle Tennessee State and Tennessee Tech.

NSU closed out its non-conference schedule by playing in its fifth dif-ferent state in less than one month, edging Creighton, 2-1 and falling to Tulsa 9-0 from Tulsa, Okla. Three days later, the Lady Demons took a 3-0 lead on LSU before dropping the game, 5-3 in Natchitoches. The woes continued for NSU as it opened conference play. After posting a 6-7 record through three series, the Lady Demons found their groove. The squad would finish the season on a 10-3 run - including four straight wins heading into the tournament. The run pushed NSU into the No. 2 seed head-ing to Hammond, La. for the league tournament. In the first round, facing off against six seeded Central Arkansas, NSU utilized a two-RBI sixth inning triple from senior Cali Burke to propell the Lady Demons into a semifinals matchup with regular season champion and No. 1 seed McNeese State. The two squads, who split regular season matchups, sat knotted at 2-2 heading to the seventh inning when a Tara McKenney bunt and Cowgirls throwing error gave NSU a one-run victory and forced a rematch in the cham-

pionship the following morning. In the finale, NSU saved its best performance for last, drubbing McNeese 11-0 in five innings behind three RBIs from Burke. The win marked the pro-gram’s 13th 30-plus win season and fifth trip to the NCAA Tournament. This time, NSU was headed to the Waco Regional, hosted by No. 13 Baylor and featuring Houston and Tulsa. Despite dropping its NCAA matchups, including a nailbiting 7-6 outing against Houston, the Lady Demons had once again found a home on the national stage and set the bar high moving into 2015.

For the second consecutive season, Northwestern State represented the Southland Conference in the NCAA Tournament.

“We’ve had to battle all year long, and we knew how good we were; down the stretch, our seniors stepped up and became the aggressor and didn’t look back.” -- Donald Pickett, NSU head softball coach

Dr. James Henderson assumed the president’s office on Jan. 1, 2015. Prior to NSU, Henderson served as chancellor of Bossier Parish Community College since 2009. In that time, BPCC has grown enrollment by more than 84 percent and increased annual certificate and degree completions by 90 percent. From 2011-13, BPCC was among the five fastest growing community colleges in the nation with enrollments of between 5,000 and 9,999. Under Henderson’s leadership, the college created market responsive programs in nursing, oil and gas technology, construction man-agement, industrial technology and engineering. Henderson was senior vice president, workforce and economic development/career & technical education for the Louisiana Community & Technical College System from 2005 to 2009. He served as appointing authority and chief executive officer of the LCTCS comprised of eight regional technical colleges serving more than 26,000 students. Under his leadership, the statewide technical college system with 42 individu-

ally accredited campuses was transitioned into eight regionally accredited technical colleges. During Henderson’s tenure, LCTCS enrollment grew by 98 percent and helped obtain more than $65 million in grants, appropriations and private funding to enhance workforce development. In partner-ship with Louisiana Economic Development, Henderson helped create Louisiana FastStart, the nation’s top-ranked state workforce training program. From 2001 to 2005, he was director of administration and direc-tor of workforce development for the Louisiana Department of Labor. Henderson was in the private sector for 10 years in hotel man-agement. He worked for Mississippi Management, Inc., Kemmons Wilson Companies and Ryco Management, playing a leadership role as each company achieved record growth in profitability. A native of Shreveport, Henderson is a Northwestern State alum-nus as is his wife Tonia. He earned a Master of Science in Administra-tion from the University of West Florida and a Doctor of Management from the University of Maryland – University College. The Hendersons have three children, Reagan, Nicholas and Alex-ander.

Northwestern State PresidentDr. Jim Henderson

“I have had the privilege of working with Dr. Henderson over the past few years as a member of the BPCC foundation board. He is one of the best higher education leaders that I have ever worked with. He is a visionary, loves his faculty, staff, and students and will be a great President for a great school. I will hate to lose him at BPCC, but will be glad he is staying in Louisiana.”Michael Woods, President, Woods Operating Company, Shreveport, former chair, Board of Supervisors for the University of Louisiana System

“Jim Henderson is one of the most exceptional graduates of University of Maryland University College’s Doctor of Management program. His vast knowledge of higher education and his com-mitment to the academic success of students are second to none. He also is exceptional at creating partnerships with businesses and other community organizations, thereby dramatically enhanc-ing the quality and reputation of Bossier Parish Community College. Perhaps most important is his warm and open approach to communication. College constituencies are encouraged by his style to feel comfortable expressing their points of view. I was fortunate to be his dissertation advisor as he completed his outstanding dissertation. I deeply admire Jim and all that he has accomplished.” Charlene Nunley Program Director (Retired), Doctor of Management - Community College Policy and Administration, University of Maryland University College “Northwestern has great days ahead. Dr. Henderson is a man of the highest level. He is a person of great integrity and knows how to empower people. Dr. Henderson is a very forward-thinking individual. Because of him, the staff at BPCC has a can do attitude. They believed that could ac-complish things in spite of what is happening externally. He played a pivotal role in helping our board reshape how it functions.”Bruce Willson Jr., President/CEO, United Way of Northwest Louisiana

“Leadership, vision, and innovation will compliment a vast array of dynamic strategies building a foundation of continued excellence at Northwestern State University following the appointment of Dr. James Henderson. His proven abilities to establish a higher education environment centered on student success and faculty excellence will promote a world class university responsive to the needs of stakeholders in the community, region, state and nation.”William S. Wainwright, Chancellor, Northshore Technical Community College

“Dr. Henderson is one of the finest men as well as leaders I have ever had the privilege of working with. In my time at BPCC, Dr. Henderson has been the driving force behind much of the expansion of our college including development of our nursing program. He is a strong supporter of the community as well as the college. As Chancellor, he is very personable with faculty and student alike. He makes weekly rounds to all departments just to stay in touch with us and see how faculty members and our students are doing. He is not an untouchable leader, and I think that is a remarkable quality. I am very sad to see him leave BPCC, but I have no doubt he will be an excellent choice for NSU.”Amy Williams, Assistant Professor of Nursing, Bossier Parish Community College

“Dr. Henderson is a man who inspires great trust and confidence. His genuine, sincere and caring manner, great intellect, dedication to the college and students, determination to accept nothing less that quality education, and openness with students, staff and shareholders all serve well to enable him to be a leader of change, inspiration and vision. People believe in what he is doing and want to be part of a new and exciting vision and challenge.”Miles Hitchcock, Assistant Professor of Technology, Engineering and Mathematics, Bossier Parish Community College

Jerry PierceVice President • External Affairs Only a handful of people have served Northwestern State as long as Jerry Pierce has, and nobody has done so in a more understated man-ner. In his 50th year on the university’s staff, Pierce’s impact on NSU and the city of Natchitoches is indelible. He’s never wanted or gotten top billing, but consistently, he gets results to benefit the university. He is in his 24th year as vice president of external affairs at North-western. A significant aspect of his job is oversight of intercollegiate

athletics. Pierce works closely with athletic director Greg Burke and all NSU coaches and staff members to keep Northwestern athletics competing 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 over-sees university operations in athletics, alumni and development, public and media relations and assists President Dr. Randall J. Webb in govern-mental affairs activities. Many of those duties were his since the 1970s as he worked under four previous 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/manager for the Demon football team during his college years, working closely with legendary coach Jack Clayton. After earning his journalism degree, Pierce went to work for the New Orleans Times Picayune, serving as a reporter and editor. He was named executive 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 athlet-ics, alumni affairs and other areas through the years. He founded, in 1972, the Louisiana Sports Hall of Fame facility in Prather Coliseum on the NSU campus, providing a home for an entity cre-ated in 1958. He established annual induction activities that remain in place nearly four decades later, and served as director of the Hall for 19 years until his promotion to vice president in 1990 forced him to step aside from the volunteer post. He helped guide Northwestern into three athletic conferences (Trans America, 1979; Gulf Star, 1983; Southland, 1987) and NCAA Division I sta-tus 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 di-rector 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 Department faculty. He is the author of one book and editor of two others and has written thousands 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, 23, and Miranda, 12, and two stepchildren, Nicholas and Natalie.

Greg BurkeDirector of AthleticsThe Burke FileAGE: 58 (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 development, 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 19th 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 or Southland Conference 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. During Feb. 2013, he was presented the “Outstanding Contributions to Amateur Football Award” by the north Louisiana chapter of the National Football Foundation and College Football Hall of Fame. 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). Burke was the 2010-11 president of the Football Championship Subdivision Athletics Directors Association. He has just been named to the newly formed NCAA Committee on Academics, a 20-person group replacing the Committee on Academic Performance, which included Burke, and the NCAA Academic Cabinet. Burke also has served on the NCAA Championships/Sports Management Cabinet. 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 adminis-ters the national playoffs. Burke has served as a site supervisor for Football Championship Subdivision playoff games across the nation, and he is regarded as one of the country’s premiere advocates of FCS football. Burke’s 17 years as athletic director include 37 Southland Conference regular-season or tournament championships, 61 All-American and Academic All-American student athletes, and three U.S. Olympic competitors. Twenty NSU teams have taken part in NCAA or WNIT postseason competition. All of the school’s athletic facilities have undergone nearly $7 million in improvements in the past four years. Burke spearheaded a $2 million series of sponsorships for new scoreboards installed for 2008-09 at all NSU athletic venues; the $700,000 Second Century Circle fencing project for athletic venues; and a $500,000 softball grandstand project completed earlier this year. 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 has displayed a remarkable ability to hire dynamic head coaches. In just their second seasons, women’s basketball co-head coaches Brooke and Scott Stoehr guided NSU to the NCAA Tournament while baseball coach Lane Burroughs executed the best one-season turnaround in Southland Conference history and tied NSU’s school record. Anchors of the NSU department include current gead coaches Mike McConathy, Louisiana’s all-time career basketball wins leader; 2013 Louisiana softball coach of the Year Donald Pickett; Hugh and Stephanie Hernesman, who just led the volleyball program to its best two seasons in the 31-year history of the program; and Patric DuBois, whose Lady Demon tennis program has two Southland Conference titles in the past four years. Several other Burke hires had great success at Northwestern State that 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. Along with the aforementioned volleyball surge, NSU’s soccer program was the first in Louisiana to reach the NCAA Tournament. Softball and tennis made NCAA Tournament appearances in 2013, the second in four seasons for Lady Demon tennis, and softball returned in 2014. Burke has established a high standard for NSU Athletics in academic achievement and com-munity 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 has remained at that level. 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 Natchitoches Parish Cenla Newsmakers of 2005 by the Alexandria Town Talk newspa-per’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. 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. His wife, Susu, is a Natchitoches native, NSU graduate and an elementary teacher. Their 20-year-old daughter, Catherine, graduated from St. Mary’s High School in May of 2012 and attends Louisiana Tech.

Faculty Athletic Representative Jody Biscoe is Associate Professor of Psychology and Addiction Studies at Northwestern State, where he is the coordinator for the undergraduate Addiction Studies, and Substance Abuse/Prevention concentrations.

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 numerous paradigm shifts in how it addresses the needs of student-athletes; 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 gradu-ated 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. 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. Recently, he was appointed to the NAADAC - National Addiction Studies & Standards Collaborative Committee. This past year, Jody was selected to serve on the United States Health and Human Services – Substance Abuse & Mental Health Service Administration Expert Panel concerning workforce issues. Jody’s married to his wife, Veronica (Roni), an avid runner, and daughter Roxy is a senior co-captain on the varsity cheerleading squad and Lady Tiger basketball team at St. Mary’s School.

Haley Blount, a school record-setting competitor as a Northwestern State track and field student-athlete who has served as the associate director of alumni affairs at her alma mater for the past three years, is NSU’s assistant athletic director for develop-ment and marketing.

Blount, a magna cum laude graduate of NSU in May 2006, was executive director of the NSU Alumni Association as well as the associate director of alumni affairs from July 2011-September 2014. She solicited funds for the Alumni Association and NSU Foundation, planned and coordinated all alumni events and events assigned by the office of NSU president Dr. Randy Webb, and managed the Alumni Association website, social media pages, the Purple Pulse e-newsletter and the Alumni Columns magazine. Previously, she worked as an assistant in student services for the Stephen F. Austin athletics department for 18 months from 2010-11. For nearly three years following her graduation from Northwestern, Blount was an assistant track and field coach and head cross country coach for NSU. She earned her master’s degree in sport administration from NSU in 2007, and is pursuing a doctoral degree in educational leadership from Louisiana Tech. Blount was a four-year competitor as a pole vaulter for the Lady Demons and still holds the NSU women’s school record with an 11-6 ¼ clearance at the 2006 Southland Conference Outdoor Championships. She did an internship with USA Track & Field in 2007, serving as assistant producer of the AT&T USA Outdoor Champi-onships in Indianapolis, and she also assisted with operations at the 2008 USA Olympic Trials in Eugene, Ore. She was the women’s track and field team representative from 2004-06 on the NSU Student-Athlete Advisory Committee and was on the 2005 All-Louisiana Collegiate Track and Field Team based on posting one of the top three marks by any state competitor in her event. Blount was included on the Southland Conference Commissioner’s Honor Roll for academic achievement each season from 2002-06. Blount is the president of the women’s service organization Les Amies of Natchitoches and has been a board member since 2009. She has coordinated Les Amies community service activities and assisted with fundraising. She has served as vice president of the Kiwanis Club of Natchitoches, and fundraising coordina-tor and board member for the Natchitoches Hope for Paws organization. She’s also been a team captain for the American Cancer Society’s Relay for Life in Natchitoches, and has assisted with the Natchitoches Parish Special Olympics. As an undergraduate, Blount won the Sigma Sigma Sigma sorority highest grade point average award in 2005 and 2006, and earned the NSU Health and Human Performance Department’s Hall of Fame Award in 2006 for being the outstanding student-athlete of the year. Her father, Terry, is a ESPN.com sportswriter covering the NFL’s Super Bowl champion Seattle Seahawks, whose team includes former NSU cornerback Jeremy Lane.

Dustin Eubanks is in his 14th year in the NSU athletic department and his 13th year at the helm of the compliance duties, keeping all athletic personnel current and in

accordance with NCAA and Southland Conference guidelines. A 1996 education graduate of Northwestern, the 38-year-old avid fan of all teams that hail from Pittsburgh seized an opportunity to serve as a graduate assistant in the sports information department at Northwestern while beginning the pursuit of his master’s degree in health and physical education (concen-tration in sports administration), which he obtained in May of 2003, and was impressive enough to earn a promotion to full-time status in November 1998. Eubanks is married to the former Dawn Hornsby of Branch and the couple has two daughters, Emilie and Taylor Nicole. The sisters share the same birthdate. Dustin and Dawn, who is the Associate Director of Financial Aid at NSU, celebrated their 11th wedding anniversary this summer

Roxanne Freeman began working at NSU in 1983 as an accounting clerk in business affairs. She transferred to the athletic department as football/baseball/track secretary and served under Sam Goodwin, Leon Johnson and several baseball coaches

for eight seasons before graduating with a B.S. in accounting in May 1995. Freeman then became the compliance coordinator and academic advisor during a three-year span before leaving in 1998. She returned to NSU in the Fall of 2000 in her current position as Business Manager where she now serves as liaison between the athletic department and business affairs. She has one son, Aaron Pizani, who is also a NSU alum.

Carrie Greene, a two-year Academic All-Southland Conference soccer standout for Northwestern State in 2005-06, serves as the Assistant Athletic Director for Student-Athlete Development in the Johnnie Emmons Athletic Study Center at NSU as well as

being the Senior Woman Administrator. Greene, a native of Arlington, Texas, was a magna cum laude graduate of NSU in August 2007 in business administration. She was a key contributor on the Lady Demons’ 2005 NCAA Tournament team that won the Southland Conference Tournament. Greene served as an intern in NSU’s Academic Services and CHAMPS/Life Skills program beginning in in January 2009, while also completing her second season as a graduate assistant soccer coach and finishing work on her masters degree. Greene is the academic coordinator for the sports of soccer, tennis, baseball, men’s basketball, and varsity football. She is also the Director of the Victorious for Life program, NSU’s resident CHAMPS/Life Skills program which focuses on community service, personal development, and career development – allowing student-athletes to prepare for life after college athletics. Under her tenure, NSU Athletics has remained penalty-free with the NCAA Academic Progress Rate.
