The Alabama A&M Athletics Department spon-sors 17 varsity sports - football, volleyball, bowling, baseball, softball, men's/women's ten-nis, men's golf, men's/women's soccer, men's/women's basketball, women's cross country, and men's/women's track and field (indoor and outdoor).

Since 1911, the University has fielded at least one varsity sport. Through the course of its 97-year history, the Bulldogs have won numer-ous national and conference championships.

The program gained nationwide acclaim when the 1977 and 1979 men's soccer teams won the NCAA Division II title under coach Salah Yousif. The spotlight remained as the women's track program won four NCAA Championships under coach Joe Henderson. The 2005 men's basketball team qualified for “March Madness” in the NCAA Tournament. In 2006, the women's bowling team finished as the NCAA Division I national runner-up appearing on ESPN in the championship match.

In 1998, A&M moved from Division II to Division I, joining the SWAC, adding two wom-en's sports - softball and bowling. A year later, women's soccer was added to the varsity list.

Betty Kelly Austin was named Alabama A&M Director of Athletics in March 2007. Based on a recommendation from a search committee comprised of coaches, faculty, staff, undergraduate and graduate students, alumni and the presidents of both booster clubs, Austin was elevated to director of athletics following a year where she had been serving in the position on an interim basis.

Austin’s stellar resume includes being one of the top volleyball coaches in the country, finishing with over 600 career victories. Coach Austin’s teams won six-straight Southwestern Athletic Conference (SWAC) volleyball titles from 2000-05 and 11 more Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Confer-ence (SIAC) conference titles in her 30 years as head coach. Austin was named SWAC Coach of the Year in each of her six championship seasons. Austin retired her coaching duties following the 2006 season, ending her volleyball career with a 603-235 record.

She also served six years as the head women’s basketball coach at Alabama A&M from the 1977-78 to 1981-82 sea-

sons.

Since taking over the director of athletics role, Austin has strengthened the athletic program’s systems and processes, includ-ing filing and meeting all NCAA regula-tions and reporting guidelines. She has personally increased revenue generation for the athletic programs and implemented a plan to increase use of the Louis Crews Stadium to include special group nights at each of the home football games.

Events at Louis Crews Stadium under her

tenure include the Louis Crews Classic, a FIFA international soccer match, the Ala-bama High School Football All-Star Game, home to the Alabama Renegades women’s football team, and the Huntsville Black Arts Festival, to name a few.

Austin’s tenure also includes the devel-opment of the student-athlete academic re-source center and opening of a new sports medicine treatment facility. In the summer of 2008 she completed renovations to El-more Gymnasium to include new reserved seating in the arena’s lower level.

Austin is active with the NCAA and its women and minority leadership develop-ment initiatives. She is a member of several professional athletic associations, including still being an active member of the American Volleyball Coaches Associa-tion (AVCA).

A 1974 graduate of Alabama A&M Univer-sity, Austin received a master’s degree in physical education from the University of Michigan in 1975. She is a native Hunts-villian graduating from Buckhorn High School.

Alabama Agricultural and Mechanical University is a dynamic and progressive institution with a strong commitment to academic excellence. The picturesque campus is situated on what many alumni and friends fondly refer to as “The Hill,” only a few minutes from downtown Huntsville. The institution is a diverse and vibrant microcosm of the larger world around it. It offers a student body of approximately 6,000 numerous degree programs, including four Ph.D. degrees in Food Science, Physics, Plant and Soil Sci-ence, and Reading/Literacy.

Alabama A&M is a land-grant Univer-sity. It receives support from the State

of Alabama and through federal funds appropriated to assist in carrying on work stipulated by the Morrill Acts of 1862 and 1890. The University is under the control of a board of trustees appointed by the Governor, who serves as ex officio Chair-man.

The University was organized in 1875 as the result of a bill passed in the State Leg-islature in 1873 and through the contin-ued efforts of its principal and president, William Hooper Councill, an ex-slave. The school opened on May 1, 1875, as the Huntsville Normal School with an appro-priation of $1,000 per year, 61 students, and two teachers.

Industrial education was introduced around 1878. It attracted wide attention, and the school was assisted financially by the Slater and Peabody Funds, along with private contributors. The work in indus-trial education was so successful that the State Legislature authorized the name to be changed to the “State Normal and Industrial School at Huntsville.” The ap-propriation was increased by the State to $4,000 per year.

In 1891, the school became the recipient of a part of the Federal Land-Grant Fund provided by an act of Congress, approved August 30, 1890. The purpose of this fund

was to further training in agricultural and mechanical arts in the various states at the college level.The name of the school was changed again to “The State Agricultural and Mechanical School for Negroes,” and a new location was provided in Normal, Alabama, where the school would have ample room for the development of its trades and agricultural programs. In 1919, the institution became a junior college, and its name was changed to “The State Agricultual and Mechanical Institute for Negroes.”

In 1939, by authority of the State Board of Education, the Institute was permitted to offer work on the senior college level. The first graduation class since 1920 received the bachelor’s degree in 1941, and on January 14, 1948, the name was again changed to “Alabama Agricultural and Mechanical College.” On June 26, 1969, the Alabama State Board of Education, the governing body of the institution, adopted a resolution changing the name of the institution to “Alabama Agricultural and Mechanical University.”

The University received a “Class A” rating by the Southern Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools in August 1946 and became a fully accredited member of the Association in December 1963.

Dr. Andrew Hugine, Jr. joined the Ala-bama A&M University family on July 16, 2009, following an extensive career in higher education that highlighted both academia and administration.

Hugine earned a Bachelor of Science de-gree in mathematics from South Carolina State University, followed by a Master of Education degree in mathematics from the same institution. He went on to complete studies leading to a Doctor of Philosophy degree in higher educa-tion institutional research from Michigan State University.

His lengthy and productive career began as an instructor at Beaufort High School in Beaufort, S.C. from 1971-72. He returned to his alma mater to serve for three years in the capacities of director of the Special Services Program (1972-73) and director of the University Year for Action Program (1972-75).

While pursuing his doctoral studies, Hugine concurrently served as a teaching assistant (1975-76) and later as an insti-

tutional research analyst and assistant professor (1976-78) at Michigan State University in East Lansing, Mich.

He returned again to South Carolina State University and nobly served in the following positions: Research Fellow (1978-79), Assistant Director of the Self-Study (1978-79) Director of the Institu-tional Self Study (1979-80), Assistant Vice-President for Academic Affairs (1980-86), Professor of Mathemat-ics (1986-2003), and Interim Executive Vice-President (2002-03), a position that thrust him into service as the Chief Oper-ating Officer for the university.

From 2003-08, Dr. Hugine culminated his 30-year affiliation with South Carolina State University as its President. During his brief, but productive administration, he was credited with the construction of a major residence facility and the prepa-rations for a massive complex to house the University’s new School of Engineer-ing.

Hugine also began a number of renova-

tions to the dining facility, the adminis-tration building, the science building, and other facilities.

A major highlight of Hugine’s administra-tion at SCSU was the acquisition by the institution of the first debate of the 2008 Democratic Party Presidential Candidate Debate Series at the campus’ Martin Luther King Auditorium. The event also marked the first such distinction by a historically black college or university.

As the 11th President of the land-grant Alabama Agricultural and Mechanical University, Hugine joins a distinguished group of 10 previous leaders and four interim administrators who have served in the coveted post since its founding by William Hooper Councill in 1875.

Dr. Hugine and his wife, Abbiegail, have two children, an adult son and an adult daughter.

The Alabama A&M women’s basketball team is enthusiastic about the 2010-2011 season. With the addi-tion of some key freshman and the returnees, this year’s squad should be one of the most experienced and skilled teams in recent years. This young but spirited group should have plenty of leadership and direction to work with.

Coach Warmley places a high premium on hard work and dedication to the task at hand. Fans should ex-pect a high pace of play combined with an array of defensive sets that are designed to create an exciting brand of basketball to watch

A&M will be led by senior guard Whiquitta Tobar and junior guard Nesfayia Watkins. Tobar finished last season averaging 11.7 points and 5.2 rebounds per game (29 games, 29 started, 37% three-point average).

The Lady Bulldogs front line includes a combina-tion featuring a stronger and experienced junior forward in Gabrielle Williams (29 games, 19 started, 2.4 points per game & 2.6 rebounds per game) and senior forward Shaurice Miller (29 games, 4.4 points per game, 53% field goal shooting, 4.3 rebounds per game).

The freshmen will also be well represented. Alyssa Strickland (Guard, 5-5, Freshman, Stockbridge, Georgia, Dutchtown HS) along with her twin Brittney (Guard, 5-5, Freshman, Stockbridge, Geor-gia, Dutchtown HS) will add their considerable

talents to the squad in the backcourt and Jasmine Sanders (Forward, 5-10, Freshman, Chester, South Carolina, Chester HS) and Clarissa Moore (Forward, 5-11, Freshman, Houston, Texas Eisenhower HS) will add depth at the post position.

“Our team is young and we know there is a lot of progress to be made in order for us to be competitive in the SWAC” said the ninth year head coach. “Our motto is, all for one and one for all.”

A&M also will look for major contributions from two other returning players –senior forward Chelsea Mar-shall (28 games, nine started, 2.8 points per game, 1.4 rebounds per game), and sophomore center NaDra

Altherias Warmley is entering her ninth season as head coach for Alabama A&M with an overall record of 109-120.

During the 2009-10 season, the Bulldogs finished with a an 16-13 overall mark, and 11-7 in the SWAC for a third place finish.

During the 2008-09 season, The Bulldogs finished with a an 11-18 overall mark, and an even 9-9 in the SWAC for a sixth place finish. A&M also hosted nationally ranked Auburn at Elmore Gym - its first time hosting an SEC team in program history.

In 2007-08 campaign, the Bulldogs were just one of three teams to defeat the University of Tennessee-Chattanooga, and only suffered a five point loss to SEC opponent Alabama. The team finished with a 14-14 overall record, and 12-6 in the Southwest-ern Athletic Conference. Warmley graduated seven seniors - all with honors.

The 2006-07 season finished with a 17-13 mark and a 13-5 record in the SWAC. The team won its first 11 conference games and was considered one of the favorites entering the 2007-08 campaign. The 2005-06 season ended with the Bulldogs making a run in the SWAC Tournament. As the sixth seed, the Bulldogs upset Mississippi Valley State in the opening round and had eventual champion Southern on the ropes before falling on a controversial ending in overtime. Her 2004-05 team finished the regular season tied for second place in the conference. Her teams have averaged a 3.0 GPA in each of her first five seasons as head coach. She is just the fourth head coach in the 26-year history of women’s basketball at AAMU. In addition, Warmley had five former players to play professionally.

Warmley arrived to “the Hill” after spending eight seasons with Middle Tennessee State University in Mur-freesboro, Tennessee. Her first three seasons she assisted Lewis Bivens, former MTSU head coach. The last five years she spent as the number one assistant and recruiting coordinator for Stephany Smith, who moved from MTSU to become the head coach at Alabama.

During her tenure in Murfreesboro, the Lady Raiders posted a 140-94 record, won two Ohio Valley Conference titles, and earned two trips to the NCAA Tournament as well as two trips to the NWIT (National Women’s Invita-tional Tournament).

Warmley is a native of Bessemer, Alabama, where she starred in both volleyball and basketball at Jess Lanier High School. In 1986, she enrolled at the University of Alabama at Birmingham, walked on for the Lady Blazers in 1987, and went on to letter for three seasons (1987-1990).

Dexter Holt - 11th seasonDexter Holt is in his 11th sea-son with the Lady Bulldogs, having stayed on over the tran-sition from veteran head coach Press Parham to new head coach Altherias Warmley.

Holt is a native of Huntsville, Alabama. He received his Bachelor of Science degree in Telecommunications in 1996, coming to Alabama A&M in 1993 after a two year stint at Snead State Community Col-

lege in Boaz, Alabama. He was a role player for the Snead State Parsons’ basketball team. Before heading to Snead State, Holt was a stand out player at Lee High School in Huntsville and a 1991 graduate.

Holt began his college coaching career under Vann Pettaway, the men’s basketball coach, as a graduate assistant, volunteer as-sistant, and student assistant. Working under Pettaway for seven years, Holt has developed an understanding of the fundamen-tals of coaching and the fundamentals of the transition game. Before his college career, Holt coached many recreational, AAU, and sports festival teams, working with you ages 6 to 18. His basketball knowledge has been planted from legends and Hall of Famers of Alabama basketball, such as Jerry Dugan (high school coach), Ed Nulter (middle school coach), Press Parham (Alabama A&M) and of course L. Vann Pettaway (Alabama A&M).

Dexter and his wife Tabatha are the parents of a daughter, Dia-mond, and a son, Dexter, Jr. The Holts reside in Madison.

Dorianne Johnson is entering her ninth season at Alabama A&M after coming to The Hill from the University of South Alabama and Kansas City (Kan.) Community College.

She came to coaching after an outstanding playing career at Ole Miss that established her leader-ship qualities. A 1997 graduate, Johnson was a three-year starter for the Lady Rebels under Van Chancellor, also head coach of the 2004 U.S. Olympic team and three-time WNBA champion Hous-ton Comets. Johnson helped Ole Miss to two Sweet 16 appearances and several top-15 rankings.

Her leadership also extended to serving as captain for two seasons and receiving the Eugene O’Conner Award. She also served on the SEC and NCAA student-athlete advisory committees.

With the Bulldogs, she is responsible for developing post players, team offense, academic prog-ress, and enhancing the community relations. Her duties also include assisting with film exchange, junior recruiting coordinator, co-director of summer camps, and advisor of the AAMU chapter of FCA. A native of Cleveland, Miss., she is a 1992 graduate of East Side High School.

Dorianne Johnson - 9th season

Melvin Williams - 1st seasonMelvin Williams enters his first year at Alabama A&M.He came from Georgia Perimeter and has 13 years experience as a college coach. With a 206-88 record as a college head coach, Williams brings 17 years of coaching experi-ence to AAMU.

He most recently served as head coach at Tennessee Temple Univer-sity for two years, and one year as a assisstant at Cumberland College. He coached at Tennessee State University for two years, and began his head coaching tenure at Chattanooga State Community College in 1999.

His Chattanooga State men’s team reached the semifinals of the Tennessee Junior College Athletic Association Tournament in three consecutive seasons, and in 2002 the Lady Tigers finished fourth in the NJCAA national tournament with a 30-5 record. Williams was named Region 7 Coach of the Year that season.

After graduating from high school, Williams played on the All-Navy team for four years. In 1985 he was named to the All-Tournament team after his team won the Navy championship. A graduate of Middle Tennessee State University, Williams earned his bachelor’s degree in engineering technology. Wil-liams and his wife, Gale, have an eleven-year-old daughter, Lauren.

T.M. Elmore Gymnasium has been the permanent home of Alabama A&M women’s basketball since it was built in 1974. Over the years, the Bulldogs have made this one of the toughest places in the country for visit-ing teams to come away with a victory.

The basketball team has earned a remarkable following in the community and on campus. It is not uncommon for Bulldog fans to pack the 6,000-seat arena to a near-capacity for home games. And those fans are vocal, loudly cheering on their maroon and white to another home victory.

The T.M. Elmore Gymnasium and Health Sciences Complex is home to the Bulldog volleyball team also, as well as nu-merous other civic and institutional activities from concerts and pep rallies, to guest speakers and convocations. The building also houses classrooms, office space, training facilities and the Physical Education department.

One of the fastest-growing cities in the Southeast, and home to one of the highest per capita income levels in the country, the high-tech city of Huntsville, Alabama, which sprawls in the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains, is equally at home in the 19th century or the 21st. Huntsville's tourist attractions reflect the heritage of Alabama's first English-speaking city, the strife of the American Civil War, and the accomplishments of America's rocket sci-entists.

With the influence of NASA, Redstone Arsenal, and hundreds of high-tech government indus-tries, Huntsville's population truly reflects inter-national cultures. Of the nearly 200,000 city residents, more than 10 percent are natives of other countries. More than 100 languages and dialects are spoken here.

Visitors who want to be "astronauts for a day" can sample astronaut training activities at the sprawling U.S. Space and Rocket Center. The hands-on showcase of space technol-ogy is the state's largest tourist attraction. It is home to the internationally known U.S. Space Camp, which has franchise operations in Japan, Belgium and Canada. A variety of city museums downtown and an outstanding symphony orchestra offer rich cultural opportu-nities involving the arts. The legendary Robert Trent Jones Golf Trail, which encompasses 21

courses in eight cities in Alabama, begins here at the 54-hole Hampton Cove Golf Course. Hampton Cove features two championship courses surrounded by mountains and lakes. Alabama now ranks fifth in the nation for public golf courses per resident.

The Birthplace of AlabamaPioneer John Hunt, for whom the city is named, occupied a cabin alongside a spring here in 1805. A town soon flourished and was the largest in the Alabama Territory by 1819. That year the leaders of the Alabama Territory met to petition the U.S. Congress to grant Alabama statehood. The recreated 1819 Alabama Constitution Village, a block from courthouse square, commemorates the historic events with tours given by costumed guides.

Huntsville was the cotton trading center of the Tennessee Valley during the 1840s and '50s when planters and merchants originally from Virginia and the Carolinas built impres-sive town homes. Walking tours of the Twickenham historic district, with the state's largest collection of pre-Civil War homes, are popular year-round. Because many wealthy businessmen remained loyal to the Union at the start of the Civil War, the town was spared the destruction by occupying armies.

America's Space CapitalHuntsville was still a cotton market town of 16,437 people in 1950 when U.S. Sen. John Sparkman (who lived in Huntsville's historic Twickenham neighborhood) brought a band of German rocket scientists to Redstone Arsenal to develop rockets for the U.S. Army. By the end of the decade, Wernher von Braun's team had developed the rocket which orbited America's first satellite. They eventually put the first American in space and transported the first astronauts to the moon.

Redstone Arsenal is one of the U.S. Army's most important strategic posts. It is responsi-ble for research, development, production and worldwide support of missiles, aviation, rockets

and related programs. The influx of engineers, scientists and other technical specialists has transformed the small town into a cosmopoli-tan community which nonetheless maintains its heritage and reputation for hospitality.

A legacy of the space program which benefits visitors is the renowned U.S. Space & Rocket Center. Guests can experience astronaut-training activities, feel simulated weightless-ness and view large-screen movies filmed by astronauts in space. The Center's U.S. Space Camp attracts young people from throughout the world who spend a week experiencing space flight training and participate in mock space missions. It was Von Braun himself who inspired Space Camp. He suggested that the space museum develop an intensive youth sci-ence program to stimulate children's interest in math and science.

Huntsville is home to the Marshall Space Flight Center, Davidson Center for Space Explo-

ration, and Redstone Arsenal

In 1920, eight men representing six colleges from the state of Texas met to discuss collegiate athletics and the many challenges that face their respec-tive institutions. By the time the session in Houston had concluded, they had founded an athletic league that has slowly became one of the leading sports associations in the world of collegiate athletics, the Southwestern Athletic Conference

The founding fathers of the original “Super Six” were C.H. Fuller of Bishop College, Red Randolph and C.H. Patterson of Paul Quinn, E.G. Evans, H.J. Evans and H.J. Starns of Prairie View A&M, D.C. Fuller of Texas College and G. Whitte Jordan of Wiley College.
