2007 season preview

A

fter last year’s incredible run to the conference championship, SCAC Coach of the Year Mike DuBose and his troops will enter the 2007 season with one word on their mind: “REPEAT.” With 19 of 22 starters returning—including 10 AllSCAC selections, the SCAC Offensive Player of the Year and the entire defensive unit—the Majors are in good position to do so.

with junior James Antonini, a Second Team All-SCAC selection and Santa Rosa JC transfer from California, returning as well. They will be the eldest on a young offensive line. Sophomores David Hardy and John Shivers will rejoin Antonini on the front line after successful freshman campaigns, while the final spots will be battled out in preseason practice when the Majors report to camp August 10.

Scouting the Offense Leading the offense will be record-setting quarterback and reigning SCAC Offensive Player of the Year Juan Joseph. Joseph became the first Major to be named Offensive Player of the Year since Brad Madden (1996) and the first sophomore to earn the honor in 15 years. The poised, Edgard, La., product rewrote the school’s record book in 2006, setting single-season marks in completions (224), attempts (374), yards (2,495) and touchdown passes (21) while setting single-game marks in completions (28, twice), attempts (49) and TD passes (five).

Wide Receivers Joseph will have plenty of targets at wideout, despite losing All-SCAC selection Josh Hanna and last year’s receiving leader and 2007 New Orleans Saints free agent signee Chris Jackson. The Majors will return six different receivers who caught at least one touchdown pass in 2006, including junior Eric McCarty. McCarty was the team’s leading receiver after four games before he was sidelined for most of the season with an injury. The Grand Prairie, Texas, native hauled in 29 passes for 333 yards and two touchdowns in 2006, highlighted by an eight catch, 120-yard performance in the third game of the season against Huntingdon. Juniors Burt Pereira (20 catches, 296 yards, 2 TDs) and Donnie Epps (20 catches, 296 yards, 2 TD) will also see significant action this season along with seniors Kennedy Griffin (20 catches, 215 yards, TD), Louis Conley (14 catches, 137 yards, TD) and sophomore Tye Menist (6 catches, 107 yards, TD).

Running Backs With the departure of three-time All-SCAC selection Tyson Roy, the running back duties will most likely fall into the capable hands of junior Nick Namias. Prior to a season-ending injury, Namias averaged 5.5 yards per carry, rushing for 302 yards and two touchdowns on 54 carries. Sophomore Kenny Metzger (50 carries, 172 yards) will also return, after taking the bulk of the carries in the final two games against Trinity and Carnegie-Mellon. Senior Neil Woodall will return to claim his starting position at fullback. A two-time All-SCAC Honorable Mention and threeyear starter, Woodall has primarily been used as a blocker but has been effective in short yardage situations.

Offensive Line In the trenches, the Majors will return three starting linemen and the starting fullback from a crew that allowed only seven sacks in 2006 (1st in the league & 5th in the nation) and boasted the highest yard-per-carry average (4.6) in the conference. Absent from last year’s line is center Conell Phillips, Jr., a three-time AllSCAC First Team selection who will start a career in pharmaceutical sales in the fall. Junior Andres Wallace will take over the snaps,

Scouting the Defense The 11 returning starters are highlighted by three All-SCAC First Team selections in Casey Younger, Shawn Gillenwater and Marcus Harris. After getting off to a rocky start in the first three games, the Millsaps defense finished off the season in dominant fashion. In league play, the Majors surrendered a league-low 11.0 ppg., allowing just 10 TDs in six games -- three of which came when the opponent started in Millsaps territory. The Majors made their killing on turnovers, forcing a leaguebest 28, including 18 INTs. In the final six games of the regular season alone, the Majors forced 24 turnovers and picked off 16 passes while scoring on either a safety, fumble return or an interception return.

Defensive Line Up front for the Majors will be First Team All-SCAC selection Casey Younger, All-SCAC Second Team selection Cedric Lawrence, junior Honorable Mention Denarold Anderson and fourth man David Dale. Younger, a senior defensive tackle who was named to the D3football.com National Team of the Week in Week 6, finished second on the team with 65 tackles, including 10.5 tackles-for-loss. Lawrence, the hard-hitting defensive end from South Panola seemed to do a little of everything last season, tallying 45 tackles, three sacks, a league-leading four fumbles recovered, one fumble forced and one blocked kick. Anderson quietly put together his best season in a Majors uniform, leading the team in sacks (four) while recording 7.0 tackles-for-loss, four pass break-ups and a forced fumble. Dale stepped in and put together a solid freshman season in nine appearances, recording 29 tackles (2.0 TFL), a forced fumble and a quarterback hit. Dale tallied a season-high 11 tackles in the Majors’ first round playoff loss at Carnegie Mellon.

Linebackers The strength of the defense will be one of the deepest and most talented group of linebackers in the country led by senior Shawn Gillenwater. Seemingly everywhere on the field in 2006, Gillenwater not only recorded a team-leading 87 tackles and 13 tackles for a loss, but also picked off two passes and recovered a fumble. He is joined by two All-SCAC Second Team selections in Lee Klein and Ronnie Wheat. In his freshman season, Klein totaled 64 tackles and forced two fumbles. After missing the first three games of the season, Wheat recorded 40 tackles, including 7.5 for a loss and three interceptions (two returned for touchdowns). Senior Canaan Farris adds even more experience and depth at the position after finishing among the team’s leading tacklers last season with 56.


2007 season preview Defensive Secondary Junior Marcus Harris leads a group of defensive backs that each picked up at least one interception and showed immense improvement over the course of the 2006 season. An honorable mention selection to the Football Gazette All-American Team, a three-time D3football.com National Team of the Week nod and a two-time SCAC Defensive Player of the Week pick in 2006, Harris led the SCAC (3rd in the country) in passes defended with 22, finished t-third on the team in tackles (64) and t-second in the conference in interceptions with five. The First Team All-SCAC selection is joined by senior Ray Kline who racked up 56 tackles, as well as a season-high 13 against the Choctaws last season and juniors Michael Sims and Jacob Hanberry. In addition to gaining Second Team AllSCAC recognition, Sims ranked second on the team and t-second in the league in passes defended (11) and INTs (three) while picking up 4.5 tackles-for-loss and a sack. Hanberry added 31 tackles, four pass break-ups and a 56-yard INT return in the Majors’ season opener. Junior Michael Moore also returns after picking up 12 tackles in eight games, with a season-high five against Huntingdon College.

Special Teams Sophomore All-SCAC Second Team selection William Lawrimore will resume his role as the Majors’ primary punter this season after ranking sixth in the league

in punting average in 2006. The Tampa, Fla., native booted 14 balls inside the opponents’ 20 yardline, while recording a season-long 50 yard punt in the Majors’ season-opener. Adding depth to the chart is incoming freshman Taylor Russolino from New Orleans, a possible role player. Sam Herman will retain his starting spot as a kickoff specialist after taking over for the departed D.J. Mello just three games into the 2006 season. Herman recorded 41 kickoffs for a 53.3 average to go along with six touchbacks. He also knocked down 2 of 3 field goal attempts, including a seasonlong 36 yarder. Placekicker Evan Bauer, a newcomer out of Corinth, Miss., will compete for a starting spot with Herman in the PAT category. Millsaps will be looking for an incoming player(s) to fill the void in the return game after the departure of specialists Josh Hanna and ST Player of the Year Chris Jackson. The Majors ranked No. 1 in the SCAC in kickoff returns (36th in the country) and punt returns (25th in the country) last season, averaging 20.8 yards per kick return and 12.3 yards per punt return. Jackson was responsible for all three returns for touchdowns, returning a kick 99 yards for a score against Louisiana College and two punts (67, 51) against No. 14 Trinity University in the SCAC Championship game. The speedy duo of Marcus Harris and Schuyler Huff both saw action in spring workouts and will likely be the front runners in the return game.

Mike DuBose Head Coach Second Season Opp, Ala. Alabama, 1974

A

fter guiding the Majors to their first winning season in 10 years, first SCAC outright title in 15 years and a berth into the NCAA Division III Playoffs for the first time in 31 years, expectations are at an all-time high for the reigning SCAC Coach of the Year and second-year head man of the Majors, Mike DuBose. In his first year at the helm, the college football veteran helped a struggling program regain its composure by instilling confidence in his players that they could compete for a conference championship. Now, with that feat accomplished and his entire coaching staff back, DuBose will work with 19 of 22 returning starters, including 57 letterwinners and nearly 60 fresh faces to make a run at a second consecutive playoff berth and the Majors’ first playoff win since a 28-21 victory over Colorado College back in 1975. “We have a really good staff that has the potential to be outstanding,” DuBose said. “Their knowledge of the game and how they approach it, their chemistry and the way they mead together is great.

all starts at the top with the staff.” After a three-year stint at Northview High School and Luverne High School in Alabama, DuBose was hired as Millsaps’ defensive coordinator in 2005 and succeeded the man who hired him, David Saunders, last season. Coaching his first collegiate team since leaving the University of Alabama in 2000, DuBose guided the Majors to a 7-4 overall mark, a perfect 6-0 league mark and the 2006 SCAC Football title. Since joining the league in 1989, Millsaps had never run the table unscathed in conference play and had won seven or more games just twice. While playing for Paul “Bear” Bryant at Alabama, DuBose was a star defender for a Crimson Tide team that posted an overall record of 32-4, including three SEC Championships and one national title. He had the game of his career in 1972 against Tennessee, where he recorded 20 tackles (2.0 tackles-for-loss) and caused one fumble. For his efforts, DuBose received “SEC Lineman of the Week” accolades. DuBose ended his career with 129 total tackles (26 tackles-for-loss), 71 assists, eight forced fumbles, six fumble recoveries and three pass breakups. His name still stands in the Tide record books as first alltime in forced fumbles in a season/career (four, 1972; eight career), second in career fumbles recovered (six) and tied for fifth with most career tackles-for-loss in a season (11, 1973). His coaching career began in 1975 as a graduate assistant for the Crimson Tide. After a season with Alabama, DuBose spent two seasons as an assistant coach at Fairhope High School and two seasons as the head coach/athletic director at Prattville High School. DuBose began his collegiate coaching career as a defensive line coach at the University of Tennessee-Chattanooga in 1980. After two seasons with UTC, DuBose was offered the defensive line job at Southern Miss, which he accepted. In his only season with the Golden Eagles, DuBose was on the opposite sideline of the game that ended Alabama’s then 57-game home unbeaten streak in Nov. 1982. DuBose returned to Alabama as defensive line coach from 1990-96 under head coach Gene Stallings. With DuBose’s defensive scheme, the Tide ranked eighth or better in rushing defense four times, including the nation’s best in 1992 during a National Championship season. After Stallings announced his retirement at the conclusion of the 1996 season, DuBose took the reins of his first collegiate team. During his four year tenure as head coach at Alabama (1997-2000), DuBose led the Tide to a 24-23 record, including a berth in the inaugural Music City Bowl in 1998 and an SEC Championship and Orange Bowl berth in 1999. DuBose is married to the former Polly Ann Martin. They have two children, Juli Keller and Michael. They have a son-in-law, GW Keller, a grandson, Will (12) and are expecting another grandchild in the near future.

Shannon Dawson

David Johnson

Offensive Coordinator Second Season Clinton, La. Wingate University, 2001

Wide Receivers Coach Third Season New Orleans, La. Nicholls State, 1995

fter a successful first season with a brand new offensive scheme and only losing two players on the offense, experience and depth should provide plenty of support for Clinton, La., native and second-year offensive coordinator Shannon Dawson. In his first season with the Majors, Dawson’s four-wide philosphy guided Juan Joseph and the Millsaps offense in breaking a pair of single-game team records and eight single-season marks. Millsaps set new team season highs in passing yards (2,831), passing average per game (257.4), pass completions (249), pass attempts (411), total yards (4,107), yards averaged a game (374.3), total touchdowns (46) and total first downs (203). The Majors also ranked 19th in all of Division III in passing offense, 32nd in scoring offense and 40th in total offense. Prior to joining the Millsaps staff in January 2006, Dawson spent one season coaching the inside receivers at New Mexico State where four Aggie receivers caught multiple touchdown passes and five hauled in 350+ yards. The receiving core as a whole averaged 10.3 yards-percatch, led by Second Team All-WAC standout Paul Dombrowski who caught 78 balls for 798 yards and two touchdowns. Before NMSU, Dawson was the running backs coach for a pair of seasons at Southeastern Louisiana (2003-04) and the receivers coach at Wingate University (2002) for one season. In his playing days, Dawson started at the quarterback slot three years at Silliman (La.) High School before earning his bachelor’s from Wingate University in May 2001. Dawson spent time at receiver and quarterback for the Bulldogs, leading all receivers in 2001 with 43 catches for 584 yards and seven TDs while tossing another two.

avid Johnson begins his third year coaching wide receivers for the Majors after a brief stay at St. Augustine high school and a three-year stint as the offensive coordinator and wide receivers coach at O.P. Walker High School in New Orleans, La. In his time at O.P. Walker, Johnson coached seven 1,000 yard receivers, including former LSU Tiger and 2007 First Round Draft Pick by the San Diego Chargers Craig Davis. Davis, who was arguably the most sure-handed receiver on the LSU squad, ended his senior year ranked seventh in the SEC in receptions/game (4.67) and eighth in the league in receiving yards/game (69.7). Also in his time at O.P. Walker, he helped lead the team to the state championships – a first in Louisiana public school history. Under Johnson’s guidance in 2006, all nine receivers on the Majors’ depth chart hauled in at least one TD catch, including five with multiple TD catches and eight with a 10.7 yards-per-catch average or better. Millsaps also had three players rank in the Top 8 in receptions/game and receiving yards/game, with Chris Jackson leading both categories and Josh Hanna and Tyson Roy rounding out the list. As a unit, the Majors doubled their production from a year ago, combining for 249 catches, 2,831 yards and 21 total touchdowns compared to 106 catches, 1,470 yards and only seven receiving TDs in 2005. Prior to joining the Millsaps staff, Johnson’s time at St. Augustine was cut short due to Hurricane Katrina. He and his family were forced out of the area and took shelter in Oxford. He joined the Majors several months later after being offered the job from former head coach David Saunders. Johnson knew Saunders from his playing career at Nicholls State University in Thibodaux, La. At Nicholls State, Johnson lettered three years for the Colonels at wide receiver and finished his career as the seventh leading receiver in school history and third alltime in yards-per-catch. David and his wife, Akeia, will celebrate their six-year anniversary in December. They have three children, Jermaine (17), De’von (12) and Karaaz (2).

Defensive Line/ST Coach Second Season Sandy, Utah Weber State, 2001

E

ntering his fourth season as the quarterbacks coach for the Majors (the longest tenure on the Millsaps coaching staff ) is Alcorn State alumni and AFL veteran, Fred McNair. In 2006 with sophomore quarterback Juan Joseph behind center, McNair’s experience and tutelage helped the Edgard, La., native gain SCAC Offensive Player of the Year honors while breaking or tying three Millsaps single-game records and six single-season marks. Joseph also led the SCAC in total offense and passing average/game while ranking third in pass efficiency (127.0) behind Rhodes’ Mark Oliver and teammate Burt Pereira who filled in for an injured Joseph in Week 3 against Huntingdon College. McNair began his college football career as a wide receiver, before moving to quarterback his junior season. After the switch, McNair went on to finish fifth in Division I-AA in passing efficiency his senior year and was named to the All-SWAC second-team in 1989. He received his bachelor’s in 1992 and furthered his education with a master’s in 1996. As a seasoned AFL veteran (Albany 1993-95; Florida 1996-00; Carolina 2000-01), McNair holds almost all of Florida’s passing records, including passing yards in a season (3,269 in 1999), passing TDs in a season (60, 1998), passing TDs in a game (8, four times) and passing yards in a game (362, 2000). McNair also holds all of Carolina’s passing records and became the 13th quarterback in AFL history to surpass the 10,000-yard career passing mark (vs. Carolina in 2000). McNair is ranked in the top eight in the AFL in all-time passes attempted, passes completed and passing yards. Over his eight-year career, McNair completed over 57 percent of his passes, while throwing for 16, 591 yards (8th all-time) and 291 TDs. He is known as the original “Air McNair” and is the brother of current Baltimore Ravens quarterback and 2003 Co-MVP Steve McNair. McNair and his wife, Barbara, reside in Jackson with their son, Frederick (6).

G

earing up for a second season, after a sensational first season as the defensive line/special teams coach, is Sandy, Utah, native Aaron Pelch. In his first year with the Majors, Pelch helped four players garner All-SCAC recognition, including three defensive linemen (Casey Younger, Cedric Lawrence, Denarold Anderson) and Special Teams Player of the Year Chris Jackson. In SCAC play, the Majors’ defensive line ranked second in rushing defense (124.8 ypg), while the duo of Lawrence and Anderson tallied a combined 11.5 tackles-for-loss and 6.0 sacks. As a unit, the front line totaled 173 tackles, 30 tackles-for-loss, 7.5 sacks, four forced fumbles and three QB hits. In the return game, the swiftness of Josh Hanna and the explosiveness of Jackson provided perhaps the best one-two punch in all of Division III. The duo averaged just over 24.0 yards per kick return and 11.0 yards per punt return. “What I like about these kids is that they thrive on the little things,” Pelch said. “They truly have the heart and desire to win.” Prior to joining the Millsaps staff in April of 2006, Pelch spent one season at Everett Alvarez High School in Salinas, Calif., and most recently, New Mexico Highlands University (Div. II) in Las Vegas, N.M. Pelch and his wife, Gemaa, currently reside in Brandon.

Outside Linebackers Coach Second Season Germantown, Tenn. Millsaps, 2006

L

ane Powell brings a wealth of coaching experience, especially when it comes to defense, as he begins his 19th season in coaching and his second season as the linebackers coach with the defending SCAC champion Majors. The Shreveport, La., native joined the staff in the spring, after spending the previous season as a regional scout for the 2005 Grey Cup Champion Edmonton Eskimos of the Canadian Football League. Powell handled all free agents, workouts and tryouts for the Eskimos in the United States. A 1988 graduate of Missouri State in physical and health education, Powell played wide receiver and coached three seasons for the Bears. Powell was a member of two Gateway Conference Championships, while coaching running backs, wide receivers and defensive backs. Powell left Missouri State after the 1991 season and embarked on a 14-year football journey around the South. Powell worked with wide receivers/tight ends at Northwestern State, outside linebackers at Southeast Missouri State, defensive line at Minden High School and Austin Peay State University, outside linebackers at McNeese State (Co-National Champions) and Mars Hill College, defensive line/running backs/recruiting coordinator at Alabama State (2001, SWAC Eastern Division Champions) and prior to the Edmonton Eskimos, a defensive line coach at Clarion University in Clarion, Pa. “I’ve been fortunate to always have good coaches everywhere I’ve been,” Powell said. “I had great leaders in Jesse Branch at Missouri State and Sam Goodwin at Northwestern, who are two of the winningest coaches in Div. I-AA.” With the leadership of great coaches, Powell has in turn coached and molded a handful of professional talent in the CFL, AFL and NFL. There are currently nine former players playing professionally, including 2007 Pittsburgh Steelers free agent Chris Jackson. Powell resides in Pearl while his son, Brandon (13), lives in Louisiana.

three-year starter at safety/inside linebacker and a graduate of Millsaps in May 2006, Ross Rutledge returns for a second season on the Majors’ staff working with outside linebackers. In his first season on the coaching staff, Rutledge had the privilege of coaching two all-conference selections, helping returning sophomore Lee Klein and former teammate Ronnie Wheat land on the All-SCAC Second Team. “Having played two seasons with Ronnie and watched his success from last season, I look forward to coaching him in his final season as a Millsaps Major,” Rutledge said. On the playing field, Rutledge returned for his sophomore and senior seasons as the team’s leading tackler, recording 71 tackles (8.0 tackles-for-loss) in his final season -- highlighted by a 17 tackle performance against Sewanee -- to remain the team’s leading tackler in 2005. Rutledge also recovered three fumbles, forced two more and picked up a sack. In the classroom, Rutledge received his undergraduate degree in history from Millsaps last year and will finish up his master’s in social sciences from Mississippi College in December. A graduate of Memphis University School and a native of Germantown, Tenn., Rutledge competed in football, baseball and track upon his arrival to Millsaps, earning all-state honors. A resident of Jackson, Rutledge is the son of Chuck, an attorney for First Tennessee and Sandra, a personal assistant. His older sister, Rheagan, is expecting a child in early December.

Offensive Line/Asst. Head Coach Third Season Batesville, Miss. Arkansas State, 2001

R

eturning for a third season with the defensive secondary is former University of Mississippi defensive back, Marcus Woodson. Woodson made his coaching debut in August of 2005, after former Ole Miss recruiting coordinator and Millsaps head coach David Saunders offered him the position. “I graduated from Ole Miss in May of ’05 and was blessed a couple months later to get the opportunity to coach at Millsaps,” Woodson said. The Mississippi native attended Moss Point High School where he not only stood out as an honor roll student, but also contributed on the football field as well. During his high school career, Woodson helped lead his team to a pair of state championships and was selected to play in the Bernard Blackwell Classic and the Mississippi high school all-star game. He also earned all-region, all-coast and all-state recognition after his senior season from the Biloxi Sun-Herald. At the college level, Woodson played in 18 games for Ole Miss until knee injuries forced him to end his career in 2003. In his first two seasons with the Majors, Woodson has helped land Marcus Harris on the All-SCAC First Team, Ray Kline, Ross Rutledge and Michael Sims on the All-SCAC Second Team and David Cutler, Josh Hanna and Kirk Jackson on the Honorable Mention list. In addition, Harris was named to Don Hansen’s Football Gazette All-American Team as an Honorable Mention and was thrice named to D3football.com’s National Team of the Week in 2006.

J

ack Wright, a native of Batesville, Miss., enters his third season on the Millsaps staff as the offensive line coach and second season as assistant head coach. After guiding a young offensive line with only one senior to the fewest sacks allowed in the SCAC last season (seven) -- and fifth in the nation out of 229 teams -- and boasting the highest yard-per-carry average (4.6) in the conference, Wright will have the privilege of returning three starters to man the trenches in 2007. In his first two seasons with the Majors, Wright has helped Conell Phillips Jr. gain All-SCAC first team recognition twice, while guiding James Antonini and Jay Buck to the second team, respectively. Upon his arrival to Millsaps in 2005, Wright spent three seasons at Meridian High School coaching the offensive line and teaching in the business department. Before that, Wright spent one season at North Delta Academy as an assistant coach. Wright received his MBA from Arkansas State in 2001, just two years after earning his bachelor’s in management information systems from ASU in only seven semesters. On the playing field, Wright started at center three years and deep snapped all four years for the Indians. Wright played his high school ball at South Panola under his father Willis, starting on the offensive line all three seasons for the nationally-recognized Tigers.

2006 SEASON REVIEW


2006 season review

W

hat started out as a nightmare season with a 52-28 pounding in the season-opener against in-state rival Mississippi College followed by a pair of narrow losses to open the year 0-3 at home, DuBose and his staff made a magical run with seven consecutive wins and a berth in the NCAA Division III playoffs for the first time in 31 years to end the season. After allowing 42.7 ppg through the first three games, the Millsaps defense responded by giving up just 10 points to Lincoln University (Mo.) while the offense tacked on 52 to give DuBose and the Majors their first win of the 2006 season on Sept. 30 at Harper Davis Field. Little did they know that the season would take a whole new meaning after that, involving a program-best 15 All-SCAC selections, seven-straight wins, an NCAA playoff bid and a Coach, Special Teams and Offensive Player of the Year. ~Dwayne Hanberry, SCAC Staff

The 2006 Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference football season will go down in history as the year that Millsaps College stepped up and ended one the more remarkable streaks in all of Division III. In a battle of undefeated conference teams, Millsaps defeated No. 14 Trinity University, 34-12, in the regular season finale for both teams to claim its first outright league title since 1991 and snap the Tigers’ 13-year string of SCAC football championships. That achievement did not go unrewarded as, in exclusive voting by the head coaches of the SCAC, Juan Joseph was selected the league’s Offensive Player-of-the-Year and his teammate Chris Jackson was named the Special Teams Playerof-the-Year. Millsaps’ head coach Mike DuBose was voted the league’s Coach-of-the-Year. Juan Joseph (pictured left), a 6-2,

178-pound sophomore quarterback from Edgard, La., set single-season school records for passing yards (2,465), completions (224), attempts (374) and touchdown passes (21) in his first year as a starter. He led the SCAC in both passing yards (249.5 yards per game) and total offense (254.0 yards per game) and was second in the league in pass efficiency rating (126.97). A three-time SCAC Offensive Player-of-the-Week selection during the season, Joseph was the first Millsaps player to win the league’s Offensive POTY award since Brad Madden was so honored in 1996. Chris Jackson, a 6-2, 205-pound senior wide receiver and return specialist from Phenix City, Ala., probably locked up the league’s Special Teams Player-of-the-Year award in the SCAC clinching victory over Trinity. Jackson had two first half, touchdown punt returns in the win – becoming just the second player in league history to take two punts to the end zone in a single game. But besides leading the league in kick returns (22.7 yards per return), Jackson also led all SCAC receivers with 65 receptions for 693 yards and nine TDs. He also led the league with 154.5 all-purpose yards per game (13th in the nation). In his first season as the head coach at Millsaps, Mike DuBose guided the Majors to a 7-4 overall mark, a perfect 6-0 league mark, and the 2006 SCAC Football title. Since joining the league in 1989, Millsaps had never run the table unscathed in conference play and had won seven or more games just twice. After the Majors’ lost their first three games of the season, a conference championship seemed to be anything but a pipe dream. But Millsaps rebounded behind a defense that, after allowing 42.7 points in the first three games, stiffened to allow just 10.8 points per game while surrendering no more than 18 points in any game over the course of the season-ending 7-0 run.

JACKSON -- What started out as a Mississippi College blowout, turned into a “Backyard Brawl” in the second half of a Choctaw 52-28 win before a capacity crowd of 5,217 at Harper Davis Field on Saturday evening. After a Millsaps three and out, the Choctaws lit up the scoreboard first with an Adam Shaffer 61-yard touchdown strike to Charmer Moore on the first play of the drive. Shaffer would add two more touchdown passes to put the Choctaws on top 21-0, just 16 minutes into the game. After a rough start, Millsaps would settle down to play a solid ballgame but could never gain ground. With 7:01 to play in the half, the Majors cut the lead to 21-14 on a 1-yard touchdown run by halfback Neil Woodall and a 45-yard interception return by Jacob Hanberry. That is as close as the game would get, as the Choctaws rallied for two late second quarter touchdowns to take a 35-14 lead into the half. The Majors came out of the locker room strong, as Juan Joseph connected with Josh Hanna for a 32yard touchdown pass to cap off a three play 74-yard drive just 1:04 into the third quarter But the Choctaws responded right away, with an 11-play, 35-yard scoring drive that resulted in a Kyle Kruse 39-yard field goal. An 82-yard strike on a trick play put the game out of reach 45-21. Joseph led the Majors on offense, completing 18-of-29 passes for 205 yards and a score, while Hanna hauled in four catches for 63 yards on the evening. Chris Jackson, Eric McCarty, Tyson Roy and Donnie Epps also added a combined 14 catches for 142 yards. Leading the way defensively for the Majors was Ray Kline’s 13 tackles, followed by Shawn Gillenwater (10), Joey Doxey (9), Casey Younger (9) Lee Klein (8) and Cedric Lawrence (6).

JACKSON -- In an offensive explosion before a crowd of 1,087 at Harper Davis Field, the Louisiana College Wildcats struck last, putting together an 11play, 80-yard scoring drive with 3:36 left in the game to come out on top 41-38. The first quarter set the trend for the afternoon, as both teams combined for 35 points. With a little over 3:00 left in the first quarter, Chris Jackson answered a Wildcat touchdown, returning a Lewis Lauve kickoff 99-yards to knot the game at 14. The second quarter provided little offense, with Juan Joseph’s 35-yard touchdown pass to Josh Hanna with 2:18 left in the half, tying the score at 21-21 heading into the locker room. The Majors took their first lead of the game with 10:47 left in the third, after Jackson hauled in another Joseph touchdown pass to cap off a five play, 61-yard scoring drive. The Wildcats responded right back, when Maxie crossed the goal line for a 12-yard score, his second of three on the afternoon. A diving attempt by Canaan Farris denied the Wildcats the extra point and left the score at 28-27 Majors. The Majors would tack on two more scores in the third, a 21-yard touchdown strike from Joseph to Burt Pereira and a 23-yard field goal by DJ Mello. In a low-scoring fourth quarter, the Wildcats would string together one last scoring drive, an 11play, 80-yard drive that covered a 4:12 span capped off on another Maxie 6-yard touchdown run. The two point conversion was successful and put the ‘Cats on top for good, 41-38. The Majors tried to put together one last drive, but they failed to do so, turning the ball over on downs at their own 16-yard line. Offensively for the Majors, Joseph was 14-for-27 for 276 yards and three scores, Nick Namias had a solid game on the ground with 21 carries for 111 yards and Kennedy Griffin led all receivers with four catches for 78 yards. Defensively for the Majors, Shawn Gillenwater led the way with 10 tackles, followed by Ray Kline (9), Casey Younger (7), David Dale (6) and Marcus Harris (5).

JACKSON -- For the second time in as many weeks, Millsaps fell just short of its first victory of the season, losing a heartbreaker to the visiting Huntingdon Hawks 35-34 on a blocked point after attempt in the final seconds of regulation. With Juan Joseph sidelined due to an injury, the Millsaps offense, with sophomore Burt Pereira behind center, did not lose a step. Millsaps trailed the entire game, but managed to battle back from a 21-7 deficit and tie the game at 21-21 two minutes into the fourth quarter on Tyson Roy’s second of three rushing touchdowns on the afternoon. Through the first three quarters, the two teams combined for 35 total points. The fourth quarter was a totally different story, as the teams exploded for 34 points and almost 300 yards of offense With the score tied at 28, the Hawks drove 70 yards on 13 play drive that covered 5:38, capped off by Zach Golson’s 37-yard strike to Broderick Smith with 52 seconds remaining. The Majors, as they had done all afternoon, battled back. Pereira hooked up with Eric McCarty for two key completions and finished the drive himself, lunging across the goal line on a one-yard sneak with one second remaining. Millsaps set up to go for the 2-point attempt to win the game in regulation; however, a flag pushed the Majors back, forcing them to kick the extra-point to tie the game. The snap looked to be fine and the kick was away, but a diving attempt by Hawks DL Rishard Davis denied the Majors the tying point and ended Millsaps’ hope for an overtime decision. Roy had a career day, accounting for 264 yards of total offense, including 14 carries for 119 yards - three TDs – and eight catches for 147 yards. Pereira, who was used as a receiver the entire season, completed 19-of-26 passes for 287 yards and rushed for two touchdowns.

JACKSON -- In the first ever meeting between the two teams, Millsaps used a school-record tying five touchdown passes from sophomore Juan Joseph en route to a 52-10 thumping of Lincoln University (Mo.) in front of a hungry Millsaps crowd on “Purple Pride Day” at Harper Davis Field. Joseph became the first Millsaps quarterback to throw for five TDs in a single game since Beau Pollard led the Majors to a 52-16 win over Greenville College (Ill.) in 1997. Millsaps was in control from the very beginning, as junior linebacker Ronnie Wheat picked up the first points of the game for the Majors by stuffing Blue Tigers wide receiver Devin Palmer in the end zone for a safety only 1:09 into the first quarter. The Majors would tack on three more scores in the first quarter – each drive spanning less than a minute – thus making good on all three first quarter drives with TDs, to put Millsaps on top 21-0 after one quarter of play. Millsaps followed up a strong first quarter with an identical second quarter, piling up 21 more points to take a 42-0 lead into the half. Lincoln would get its first points of the game just two minutes into the third quarter when Donald Brown connected with DeWitt Johnson for a 71 yard touchdown strike. They would add a Gerardo Cornejo 33 yard field goal in the fourth to make the final margin 52-10. The Majors tallied 326 yards of offense in the first half alone and 526 yards for the game, while the defense held the Blue Tigers to 206 yards for the game. Offensively for Millsaps, Joseph finished 18-of-35 for 275 yards, Tyson Roy had eight carries for 163 yards and a score, Nick Namias had eight carries for 80 yards and a score, Chris Jackson caught five balls for 72 yards and two scores and Eric McCarty and Louis Conley each chipped in with a touchdown reception.

JACKSON -- The Millsaps defense came up big for the second week in a row, holding Centre College to 12 points, while recording 11 tackles for loss, two sacks, an interception and forcing four fumbles en route to a 38-12 conference-opening victory at Harper Davis Field on Saturday afternoon. Millsaps won its second game in a row, using a 10-yard interception return by Kirk Jackson, a Cedric Lawrence fumble recovery in the end zone, a Nick Namias score and three TD passes from Juan Joseph. With the win, the Majors improve to 1-0 in conference play and third in the SCAC standings, while the Colonels fall to 1-2 in the SCAC and 3-3 overall. Joseph improved on his league-leading numbers, completing 24-of-39 passes for 314 yards, three TDs and an interception while eclipsing the 1,000-yard mark in only four games. He also connected with nine different receivers, including Chris Jackson who had six catches for 129 yards and a score. Leading the way defensively for the Majors were Casey Younger, Lee Klein and Shawn Gillenwater who each recorded nine tackles, while Michael Sims and Denarold Anderson chipped in with six. Lawrence also came up huge for Millsaps, recovering three fumbles including one in the end zone for a score.

SHERMAN, Texas -- The Austin College football team’s Homecoming game was spoiled by the visiting Millsaps College Majors on Saturday afternoon at Jerry Apple Stadium, with the Majors topping the ’Roos 26-11 to drop Austin College to 2-5 on the season and 0-3 in Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference play. After a fourth-down stand by the Millsaps defense at its own six, quarterback Juan Joseph connected on all seven of his pass attempts and Tyson Roy rushed for 36 yards as the Majors marched down the field for a 12 play, 94-yard drive for the score. The Majors got onto the board with 4:38 to go in the first quarter, but a missed point after kept the score at 6-0. After a ‘Roo field goal cut the lead to 6-3 and a three-and-out by the offense, the Millsaps defense buckled down and forced the ‘Roos into a three and out. On the ensuing punt attempt, the snap sailed high over the head of punter Clint Rushing for a safety, giving Millsaps an 8-3 lead at the half. In the second half the Majors came out on fire offensively behind the passing of Joseph 5-of-6 passes for 57 yards in an 11 play, 77 yard drive that culminated on a touchdown throw of four yards from Joseph to Kennedy Griffin. The two-point conversion was good and the Majors led 16-3. After a 31-yard field goal by William Lawrimore gave the Majors a 19-3 lead, the ‘Roos struck back. Ryan Cowley busted off a 55-yard kick return to the Millsaps 22 and the running back scored on a 22yard run on the very next play. Cowley’s two-point conversion pulled the ‘Roos within eight points. With the momentum on the side of the ‘Roos, the Majors calmly regained the upper hand, driving 86 yards in just over two minutes to open the fourth quarter. Tyson Roy rushed three times for 34 yards on the drive and Joseph connected on 3-of-3 passes for 34 yards, including a touchdown throw to Tye Menist to make the final score 26-11.

JACKSON -- For the first time since joining the SCAC in 1991, the Millsaps Majors started 3-0 in conference play, downing DePauw University 31-7 at Harper Davis Field on Saturday thanks in part to another stellar defensive performance. For the fourth consecutive week, the Millsaps defense stepped up and made a statement, as they forced five DePauw interceptions including two apiece by Marcus Harris and Shawn Gillenwater to knock off the Tigers for the first time since 1998. After the Millsaps defense forced a quick threeand-out to open the game, the offense did its part by using a short field to drive 44 yards in 10 plays capped off by a Juan Joseph quarterback keeper from two yards out. DePauw responded right back, using a 10 play, 79 yard drive to knot the game at 7-7 with 4:34 to play in the first quarter. Tiger quarterback Spud Dick was 7-of-8 on the drive, finding Stephen Horrighs in the back of the endzone for the touchdown. The Majors next drive came to a brief halt, when Tigers defender Rob Farrow forced a Burt Pereira fumble that was recovered by Reed Scherrer at the DePauw 41 yard line. After tying the game, DePauw looked as if they would capitalize on a Millsaps fumble, driving down to the Majors 21 yard line before Harris picked off his first of two interceptions inside the red zone to keep the game tied. It was all Millsaps from there, as they held the Tigers scoreless the remaining 49:34 of the game and tacked on 24 unanswered points, including a perfectly executed fake field goal from Cameron Barbas to Sam Herman minutes before the half time buzzer sounded. Harris capped off the afternoon with a 49-yard interception return for a touchdown. Joseph continues to have a strong sophomore campaign, connecting with eight different receivers and completing a school record 28-of-43 passes for 234 yards.

SEWANEE, Tenn. -- With a chance to clinch a championship matchup in Jackson with Trinity in two weeks, the Majors jumped right out of the gate, taking a 28-0 lead in the first quarter. It was the defense that set up three of the four touchdowns in the first quarter. After forcing Sewanee into a three-and-out and a shanked punt deep in Tiger territory, the Major offense only had 26 yards to drive, as Juan Joseph connected with Donnie Epps for the opening score. On the following possession, Marcus Harris picked off a Wes Satterfield pass at the Tiger 23. Tyson Roy cashed in for the Majors four plays later on an 8-yard run to give the Majors a 13-0 lead. After exchanging punts, Millsaps extended the lead to 20-0 when David Dale forced Satterfield to cough up the football, which Canaan Farris scooped up and raced 50 yards for the score. On the next offensive possession for the Majors, Joseph connected with Chris Jackson for a 48-yard strike. The two-point conversion gave the Majors the 28-0 lead. Millsaps would see that comfortable lead shrink, as the Tigers punched in a touchdown in the second on a 56-yard strike from Satterfield to Jason Loudon and a 15-yard connection from Blake Mears to Chris Murphy in the third quarters while holding Millsaps scoreless for two quarters. The Majors, however, would not allow the Tigers to get any closer. On their first possession of the fourth quarter, Joseph and Jackson hooked up once again—this time from 43 yards out. The Tigers would add a late touchdown on a Satterfield sneak to make the final margin 35-18. Joseph completed 27-of-46 passes for a careerhigh 333 yards. Jackson led all receivers, hauling in ten catches for 121 yards. Roy tallied 128 total yards as a receiver and rusher. Harris led the defense with a career-high three interceptions—his fifth in two games.

MEMPHIS, Tenn. -- In a battle of field position at Fargason Field on “National College Football Day” around the college football community, Millsaps used a 14-point fourth quarter to win its sixth consecutive game, edging past the Rhodes Lynx to stay perfect in the SCAC at 5-0. As good, championship football teams always do, the Majors found a way to win as they used a Juan Joseph 4-yard touchdown strike to Chris Jackson and a Ronnie Wheat 19-yard interception return en route to 14 points in a span 37 seconds in the final quarter. After a scoreless tie through the first three quarters, Millsaps finally put the first points on the scoreboard when Joseph hooked up with Jackson for the eighth time this season. The score put the Majors on top 7-0 and tied a school-record for touchdown passes in a single-season with 19. Less than a minute later on the second play from scrimmage for the Lynx, Wheat picked up his first interception of the year, picking off a Justin Sealand pass and scampering 19 yards for the score to put the Majors on top 14-0. The two touchdown cushion slowly dwindled when Rhodes’ Sealand connected with a wide-open Michael Hatcher to cut the lead to 14-6 after a Joseph interception. The point after attempt was blocked by Cedric Lawrence. With 1:06 left, the Lynx strung together one last drive as Sealand completed 4-of-6 passes for 90 yards. A last second hail mary was caught by Jeff Fryder for 40 yards before he was taken down three yards short of the endzone. Lawrence picked up a team-high nine tackles, a sack and a blocked PAT, while Canaan Farris and Shawn Gillenwater chipped in seven tackles each. Doxey and Wheat also had five tackles, while Wheat had two picks for 19 yards and a score. Joseph completed 25-of-49 passes for 214 yards and a touchdown, connecting with eight different receivers.

2006 game recaps & box scores Game #10: Nov. 11, 2006 Millsaps 34, (#14) Trinity University 12 Harper Davis Field • Jackson, Miss. JACKSON -- On a cold and windy day at Harper Davis Field, an electric crowd of almost 3,800 packed the stands for one of the biggest games in Millsaps history. Rising out of the ashes, the Millsaps Majors were seeking their first SCAC championship since 1996 and their first playoff birth since 1975. To do so, the Majors would have to overcome a Trinity program that owned the SCAC for more than a decade. Dominant can’t begin to describe what Trinity had done against SCAC competition. Trinity had won or shared 13 consecutive SCAC titles, one of the longest streaks in NCAA football history. Since their first title in 1993, the Tigers had posted a 63-5 mark in SCAC games, including a 33-1 SCAC record since 2001. The Majors, however, were undaunted by Trinity’s rich history. Not only did the Majors defeat the Tigers, they dominated them in a way that few teams have. The 34-12 shelling was the worst regular season loss that the Tigers had suffered since 1993 and their worst SCAC loss since falling 40-17 to Millsaps in 1992. The Majors drew first blood less than four minutes into the game. One play after Major linebacker Canaan Farris picked off a pass at the Trinity 18, Juan Joseph scrambled out of the pocket and found Burt Pereira in the end zone to put the Majors up 7-0. From that point, Millsaps receiver and punt return man Chris Jackson took over. After the Millsaps defense forced a three-and-out, Jackson received a punt at the Millsaps 33 and raced 67 yards for a touchdown. Trinity appeared as though they may answer; however, on fourth-and-one at the Millsaps 18, the Majors stuffed running back Jonathan Plotnick. From there, the Majors marched 82 yards on 10 plays, capped off by a 5-yard Joseph to Jackson connection. The rout was on and the first quarter was not even over. Four minutes into the second quarter, Jackson struck again, taking a punt 51 yards, to become the first Major to return two punts for a touchdown in one season and one game. The extra point was no good and the Majors led 27-0. Trinity picked up some momentum going into the locker room, scoring with just over one minute left on a seven-yard touchdown pass from Jacob

Cannon to Riley Curry, to close the gap to 27-6. After the break, the Tigers marched down to the Millsaps 30 on their first drive. The Millsaps defense, however, would deny the Tigers on fourth-and-five. From there, both defenses took over the game. The next touchdown came with 8:43 remaining in the fourth quarter when Ronnie Wheat picked off a Cannon pass at the Millsaps 27 and took it to the house to give the Majors a 34-6 lead. It was the second time in as many weeks that the junior linebacker returned an interception for a touchdown and the fifth time this season for a Millsaps defender. Trinity would add a late touchdown but it was too little, too late. When the clock rolled down to zero, Millsaps fans threw confetti into the air and fireworks were set off from near the field house. The Millsaps students climbed over the fence behind the south end zone, ran past security across the field, and tore down the goalposts in the north end zone as “We are the Champions” by Queen blared through the air. For more than 30 minutes after the game, students and parents celebrated with the players on the field.

PITTSBURGH, Pa. -- Fueled by the nation’s thirdranked rushing offense and the dynamic duo of running backs Travis Sivek and Robert Gimson, No. 24 Carnegie Mellon grinded out 21 second half points to win its first playoff game since 1978 and send No. 22 Millsaps home in the opening-round of the Division III Playoffs. Millsaps (7-4, 6-0 SCAC) who came into the weekend with the Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference’s top scoring offense (33.0 ppg), was shut out for the first time since 2005, turning the ball over a total of five times, four inside the 35 yard line of Carnegie Mellon. Carnegie Mellon (11-0, 3-0 UAA) controlled the time of possession from the opening kickoff. The Tartans ate up 9:40 in the first quarter alone en route to a commanding 40:15-19:45 time of possession difference. Millsaps forced five Tartan three-and-outs to open the game and had its share of big play opportunities and scoring threats, but just couldn’t find its rhythm on offense. After the Majors defense forced their third-straight three-and-out to open the game, Millsaps let a big play slip away. From his own 25 yard line, Joseph connected with Burt Pereira down the middle of the field for a 48 yard gain, but Pereira was stripped from behind by Trent Sisson when he tried to make a move back towards the inside of the field and the Majors turned the ball over. The only other real scoring threat of the first half came from Carnegie Mellon with its second to last drive. After a James Rogers interception set up CMU at its own 45 yard line, the Tartans pushed it down to the Majors 9-yard line. On third-andthree, however, Ronnie Wheat picked up a huge sack on quarterback Doug Facemyer to force a 31-yard field goal attempt that fell short. After a quick three-and-out from Millsaps to open the second half, Carnegie Mellon took over from its own 39 yard line and launched a 61 yard drive that spanned 13 plays and 5:28. On the drive, Gimson picked up 51 yards on the ground, including a crucial fourth-and-one on the Millsaps 25, while Sivek picked up 10 and the 3-yard touchdown run that put the Tartans on top 7-0 just 1:38 into the third quarter. The Majors tried to respond quickly, using a 35 yard kick return from Jackson to begin the drive at their own 37 yard line. Joseph completed three-straight passes to open the drive, connecting with Jackson for three yards, Tyson Roy for 19 yards and Kennedy Griffin for 12 yards down to the CMU 29 yard line.But the drive stalled out from there, as Joseph threw three incomplete passes including a fourth-and-three to Jackson

that was ruled incomplete. Jackson appeared to haul in the Joseph delivery and take it down to the 16 yard line, but the side judge ruled that Jackson was bobbling the pass before he stepped out-ofbounds. From there the Tartans drove 78 yards in 4:55 on eight plays to take a commanding 14-0 lead midway through the third quarter. Sivek picked up 30 yards on the drive, including his second rushing touchdown of the afternoon. Millsaps once again tried to fight back. From his own 20 yard line, Joseph drove the Majors down to CMU’s 17 yard line, completing 7-of-8 passes to four different receivers. But just as the previous three penetrating drives for Millsaps turned out with zero points and turnover, this one ended the same way when Joseph was intercepted by Steve Curran on a screen play. CMU capitalized, tacking on another touchdown midway through the fourth quarter that put the game well out of reach and shot the Majors’ hopes of a second round playoff berth. Joseph completed 24-of-37 passes for 230 yards, but his three interceptions proved costly in the 21-0 shutout loss. He ends the 2006 season as Millsaps’ single-season record holder in yards (2,495), completions (224), attempts (374) and TDs (21). On defense, Marcus Harris picked up a careerhigh 15 tackles and two pass breakups, while David Dale picked up 11 tackles and a half a tackle-forloss. For the Tartans, the rushing tandem of Gimson (23 carries, 142 yards) and Sivek (25 carries, 108 yards) combined for 257 of CMU’s 318 total yards. #22 Millsaps (7-4) #24 C. Mellon (11-0)

arper Davis, former head football coach and athletic director, was honored during Homecoming festivities in October of 2004 with the renaming of Alumni Field in his honor. More than 300 of his former players and friends joined Davis, B.A. 1947, and former assistant coach Tommy Ranager on the field for the ceremony. During the Captain’s Dinner, a Homecoming event for former players, a video titled Harper Davis: A Millsaps Treasure was shown. A member of the Mississippi Sports Hall of Fame and the alltime winningest coach in Millsaps football history, Davis is also a member of the Mississippi State University Sports Hall of Fame and a 1989 inductee to the Millsaps Sports Hall of Fame. Davis spent 25 seasons (1964-88) at the helm of the Majors compiling a 140-78-4 record that included an undefeated 9-0 season in 1980. Davis led the Majors to their first NCAA Division III playoff appearance, a win against Colorado College, in 1975. The Majors, 9-2, were defeated by eventual overall winner Whittenburg University in the semi-finals. Following an All-Southeastern Conference career as a defensive back at Mississippi State University, the National Football League’s Chicago Bears tabbed Davis in the first round of the draft in 1950. Davis also played for the Green Bay Packers in 1951. In 1949 Davis played in the last year of existence of the All-America Football Conference

with the Los Angeles Dons. Davis led the Bears in interceptions in 1950 and is currently tied with several MSU players for the season and career lead for most interceptions returned for touchdowns with two. In 1987 he was named the recipient of the Mississippi’s Contribution to Amateur Football by the National Football Foundation and in 1988 he was the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation’s Toast/Roast honoree. According to Rick Cleveland, longtime sports columnist for the Clarion-Ledger, naming the field for Davis was a particularly appropriate honor. “He fertilized it, watered it, mowed it, lined it, coached and taught on it,” Cleveland wrote. “He and Tommy Ranager were a two-man coaching staff and grounds crew. And that was enough because Millsaps won 140 games and lost only 78 from 1964 until 1988, when Davis stepped down.” “It’s funny, we spent all that time keeping that grass just right and now they’ve got artificial turf,” Davis told Cleveland. “But I can’t tell you how honored I am. I have received a lot of awards and honors in life, but this is the highest honor I’ve ever received.” A native of Clarksdale, Davis is in his 50th season of coaching, currently serving as an assistant football coach for the Jackson Academy Raiders.

this is millsaps Look across the Millsaps College campus toward the Boyd Campbell College Center, and you’ll see a great potted oak tree outside. A potted oak tree? The story goes that in 1957, when the College Center was being built, the contour of land was too uneven to support the building. A great deal of earth had to be moved into what was known as “Sullivan’s Hollow” before construction could ever begin. However, placing such large quantities of dirt around the trunk of the old water oak would have ensured its demise. To save the tree, the builders constructed a brick and cement pot around the base. This elegent solution saved a majestic bastion of the College. It is also symbolic of the dedication of Millsaps to preserve the past, while giving students the tools necessary to move forward with one of the most valuable educations available. Today, the oak tree provides students with an outside gathering place and shade from the Mississippi sun, while the College Center serves as the hub of student activity. This center for gathering extends into the famous Millsaps Bowl, a beautiful green space bordered by azaleas and shaded by other towering oaks, a setting for festivals, afternoon frisbee games, outdoor classes, and gradution exercises. Students flourish in this 100-acre campus in the heart of Jackson, Mississippi.

liberal arts college and our historical role in the mission of the Methodist Church, we will continue to provide a learning environment that increases knowledge, strengthens ethical principles, deepens the understanding of faith, and inspires the development of mature and responsible citizens,” says Lucas. Millsaps provides the perfect atmosphere for learning, with one teacher for every 11 students and an average class size of 15. Students who enter Millsaps have intellectual firepower (most are in the top 25% of their high school class), and they know that at Millsaps they will be taught by individuals who are as serious about learning as they are. The faculty members at Millsaps have studied and taught in many of the nation’s most prestigious institutions, but choose to teach in a personalized environment where professors are accessible and classroom discussions are encouraged. Millsaps professors say that their students have opportunities to interact with each other and faculty in ways that wouldn’t be possible at larger colleges. “I’m proud I’ve been able to help my students go on to do interesting things with their lives,” says Dr. Iren Omo-Bare, chair of the political science department. “At least two of my former students are now working in areas of foreign policy, and one just became a Rhodes Scholar. All of my colleagues have stories like this.”

Perfect Atmosphere for Learning The college was founded in 1890, thanks to the foresight of Major Reuben Webster Millsaps, and cofounders Dr. William B. Murrah and Methodist Bishop Charles B. Galloway. The Major dedicated $50,000, which was matched by contributions from Mississippi Methodists toward the establishment of “a Christian college within the borders of our state.” Today, Millsaps President Frances Lucas sees a future of opportunities to prepare the next generation of leaders. “By keeping true to our character as a

Benchmarks in Education While Millsaps’ hallmark is consistent excellence maintained over the years, the school has also enjoyed many firsts. It was the first honors college in Mississippi and boasts 22 honor societies, including the most prestigious honor society in the United States, Phi Beta Kappa. PBK has recognized students for their intellectual capacities, especially in the liberal arts and sciences, for more then 200 years. Millsaps also encourages the classic tradition of the student-athlete; as a matter of fact, the College has won the

this is millsaps prestigious David M. Halbrook Award that honors the Mississippi college or university with the highest graduation rate for student-athletes. Millsaps competes in the NCAA Division III in seven men’s and women’s sports. Changing Lives Dr. Frances Lucas, named Millsaps’ 10th (and first female) president in January of 2000, says that Millsaps is distinguished from other colleges by a commitment to making a difference – one life at a time. “Our faculty, staff, students and alumni understand that the Millsaps educational experience is about changing lives,” says Lucas. “Whether it is a faculty member who joins students for lunch to discuss an honors project, or an alumnus who forms a team of community volunteers to complete the construction of a Habitat house, the desire to make a difference is pervasive at Millsaps.” Millsaps partners with the Jackson community and the United Methodist Church to bring cultural and economic enrichment to local citizens. Millsaps produces and supports concerts and forums that are open to the public. In addition, the Millsaps Arts and Lecture Series has brought world-renowned scholars and performers such as The New Yorker columnist Davis McCullough, the Harvard Glee Club, and the famous Golden Dragon Acrobats to entertain and inform the Jackson community. Millsaps has also created a Speakers’ Bureau through which faculty and staff volunteer their time and expertise for the benefit of local civic and business organizations. Millsaps was the first college in Mississippi to institute a campus chapter of Habitat for Humanity. Through the campus chapter, Millsaps students, faculty, and alumni continue to change the lives of many families in the Jackson area. Awards and Accreditations Millsaps College is accredited by the Commission on Colleges of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools to award the degrees of: Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of Business Administra-

The colleges’ education and chemistry departments are also accredited by NCATE (National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education) and the American Chemistry Society, respectively. Millsaps College continues to receive national recognition for excellence in college guides and other national publications. Its placement in the top tier of liberal arts colleges nationally by U.S. News and World Report’s 2006 America’s Best Colleges makes Millsaps the top ranked liberal arts college in Mississippi, Louisiana, and Alabama, and among the top five in the Deep South. The College is listed in U.S. News under “Programs To Look For” with sixteen in the nation that makes writing a priority – including Amherst, Harvard, and Duke. The

experience jackson & central mississippi OVERVIEW There’s no better way to sample the South than Jackson, Mississippi. A blend of the old and the new, Jackson offers glimpses of the past while looking ahead to the future. From fabulous history, art and science museums to world-class exhibits and performances, Jackson is a secret full of surprises! Mississippi’s Capital City is conveniently located at the crossroads of Interstate 55 (north-south) and Interstate 20 (east-west) in the heart of our “Hospitality State.” As the center for the Metro Jackson area, home to more than 425,000 people, the city of Jackson is steeped in history, music, performing arts, sports, and our truly Southern way of life. HISTORY The City of Jackson was founded in 1821 at the site of a trading post situated on a bluff on the west bank of the Pearl River. Legend tells that the trading post was operated by a French-Canadian trader named Louis LeFleur, and the town originally was called LeFleur’s Bluff. The Mississippi State Legislature wanted the seat of government moved out of the Natchez area and into a more central location. It commissioned three men to locate an ideal place for a town that could become the state capital. After surveying areas north and east of present day Jackson, Thomas Hinds, James Patton and William Lattimore proceeded southwest along the Pearl River until they reached LeFleur’s Bluff in Hinds County. Their report to the General Assembly was this location had “beautiful and healthful surroundings, good water, abundant timber, navigable waters, and proximity to the Natchez Trace.” A legislative act dated November 28, 1821, authorized the location to be the permanent seat of government for the state and ordered that it be named Jackson, in honor of Major General Andrew Jackson who would later become the seventh president of the United States. During the Civil War, the town was ravaged and burned three times by

52

Union troops under the command of General William Tecumseh Sherman. Surprisingly, the City Hall, which was built in 1846 for less than $8,000, was spared the torch. It was rumored that Sherman bypassed the building, which is still the working seat of municipal government, because it housed a Masonic Lodge and that the Union leader was a Mason. More likely, its use as a hospital was the reason the building was not burned. Although less than 8,000 people lived in the Jackson area at the turn of the century, its population began accelerating rapidly after 1900, and it became one of the dynamic growth areas of the Sunbelt. The latest census figures put Jackson’s population at 184,256. The year 1985 marked a change in the form of government in Jackson. During a special election, in the fall of 1984, citizens voted to replace the three-man commission, with a mayor and commissioners elected at-large, to a mayorcouncil form of government. The process allows for the mayor to be elected atlarge and seven council members elected from wards. In 2005, Jackson voters overwhelmingly elected Frank Melton as Mayor in his first bid to elective office. Current City Council Members include Ben Allen, Ward 1; Leslie Burl McLemore, Ward 2; Kenneth I. Stokes, Ward 3; Frank Bluntson, Ward 4; Charles Tillman, Ward 5; Marshand K. Crisler, Ward 6; and Margaret C. Barrett-Simon, Ward 7. Jacksonians are extremely proud of their famed southern hospitality and quality of life. Community support is strong for the Mississippi Symphony Orchestra, the Mississippi Opera, and the Atlanta Braves Triple-A Affilate Mississippi Braves professional baseball team, along with the Mississippi Museum of Art, the Natural Science Museum, Agriculture and Forestry Museum, Mississippi Children’s Museum and the SmithRobertson Museum and Cultural Center, along with the Old Capitol Museum and other venues. In association with Varna, Bulgaria, Tokyo, and Moscow, Jackson hosts the


experience jackson & central mississippi world-class USA International Ballet Competition at the beautiful municipal auditorium, Thalia Mara Hall. The city-center arts complex also includes the Mississippi Museum of Art and the nation’s 10th largest Planetarium, which houses the unique 870 large format cinema or “wrap around” film projection system and Mega HD Cinema large-screen format. The Mississippi Arts Pavilion is home to the International Commission for Cultural Exchange, which has hosted several exhibits, including The Palaces of St. Petersburg, The Splendors of Versailles, The Majesty of Spain and The Glory of Baroque: Dresden exhibitions. Gourmet dining and nightlife sparkle on the Jackson scene. A mix of cultural and ethnic groups provide the city with cuisine that is truly international. One can choose Greek, Continental, Italian, Chinese, Japanese, French, Indian, Mexican, Thai, Mexican, Russian, Arab or good old Southern cuisine. Jackson is a city with wonderful citizens, who are dedicated to providing the energy to meet today’s challenges and to make The City of Grace and Benevolence one of “America’s Most Livable Cities.” PARKS & RECREATION There are 54 city parks and facilities in Jackson, which cover around 2,300 acres of land. These areas include playgrounds, swimming pools, golf courses, tennis courts, picnic grounds, and jogging and walking paths. Special facilities include community centers, which are available for public use; Smith Wills Stadium, Mynelle Gardens, the city’s botanical gardens and the Jackson Zoo. All properties are patrolled by City of Jackson Park Rangers. The City of Jackson offers a wide variety of recreational programs; athletics for youth and adults,

including softball, flag football, basketball and baseball leagues; swimming, golfing and tennis lessons; neighborhood festivals; after-school programs; and seasonal clinics. MISSISSIPPI FAIRGROUNDS The Fairgrounds Complex, which covers over 100 acres, hosts more than 700-event days per year. With different facilities for exhibitions, trade and consumer shows, you’ll find all the elements, along with Mississippi’s tradition of hospitality, to make a truly successful event. The Complex is an integral part of beautiful downtown Jackson, where the charm of the old and new south blends to form a modern city with a wealth of activities and cultural attractions. THALIA MARA HALL The Municipal Auditorium of the City of Jackson and a facility managed by the Department of Human and Cultural Services, the 2,000 seat theater is located in the downtown arts and cultural district of Jackson. Thalia Mara Hall was built in 1968 and at that time was called the Jackson Municipal Auditorium. In 1975, the Jackson Ballet Guild invited Miss Thalia Mara, a Chicago native with an extensive career as a performer in the United States and abroad, to develop a professional ballet company and school in the state of Mississippi. In 1979, as part of her development plan, she secured the International Ballet Competition (IBC) for the City of Jackson. By an act of the United States Congress, Jackson was named the official USA home of the IBC. The Competition is held quadrennially at Thalia Mara Hall. In 1994, the Jackson City Council voted to rename the Jackson Municipal Auditorium “Thalia Mara Hall.”

A unanimous choice as the 2006 NFL Coach of the Year, Sean Payton led the Saints to a 10-6 record, their second postseason win in club history and their first NFC Championship Game appearance in his first season.

METAIRIE, La. -- The New Orleans Saints announced on Thursday, June 21 that they will be returning to Millsaps College for their 2007 training camp. The club will hold its annual summer training session on the campus of the Jackson, Miss. school for the second consecutive season, with players due to report July 25. “We learned last year the value of having the team together as a group in the atmosphere that Millsaps provides,” said team Owner and President Tom Benson. “Everyone at the school and in the city worked hard to make our stay a success last year, which is something we all appreciated. And we’re close enough where not only our fans from across the region can come and drive to camp, but we have the unique opportunity of bringing our team to the fans we have here in Mississippi and the Gulf Coast, it is important that our fans attend practice and be a part of our preparation for the season.” “We are proud to have the New Orleans Saints back with us this year and look forward to the excitement that always rolls in with the team,” said Millsaps College President Frances Lucas.

“The presence of a professional football team on the Millsaps campus was a very positive experience for the college and community last year, and we look forward to opening our doors to them again this season.” The team will conduct 28 practices on the campus starting on July 27 with a morning practice starting at 8:50 am. A detailed training practice schedule will be posted under the events calendar on NewOrleansSaints.com on a regular basis, with dates and times of practice being subject to change due to weather and other extenuating circumstances. The team will depart Jackson on August 4 traveling to Canton, Ohio for the Hall of Fame Game on August 5, against Pittsburgh. The team will officially break camp on Sunday, August 19 with the final practice at Millsaps taking place on the morning of August 17. “We’re extremely pleased to be heading back to Millsaps this year,” said Saints Executive Vice President/General Manager Mickey Loomis. “Training camp is a crucial time for a team to come together and prepare for the upcoming season, and the campus at Millsaps gives us the right environment to focus on that process.”

What is the SCAC? The Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference (SCAC) was formed to provide an association through which the member institutions may encourage organized competition in intercollegiate sports among teams representative of their respective student bodies. Members of this conference share a commitment to priority of the overall quality of academic standards and quality educational experiences. The SCAC is currently comprised of Austin College of Sherman, Texas; Centre College of Danville, Ky.; Colorado College of Colorado Springs, Colo.; DePauw University of Greencastle, Ind.; Hendrix College of Conway, Ark.; Millsaps College of Jackson, Miss.; Oglethorpe University of Atlanta, Ga.; Rhodes College of Memphis, Tenn.; The University of the South of Sewanee, Tenn.; Southwestern University of Georgetown, Texas; and Trinity University of San Antonio, Texas. The SCAC office is located in suburban Atlanta, Ga., in Suwanee. History of the SCAC The Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference (SCAC) was founded and began operation on September 1, 1962, as the College Athletic Conference (CAC). Centre College of Danville, Ky.; Southwestern at Memphis (Tenn.) (now known as Rhodes College); The University of the South of Sewanee, Tenn.; and Washington and Lee University of Lexington, Va., were the four charter members of the conference. Later in 1962, Washington University of St. Louis, Mo., became the fifth member and the CAC remained unchanged until 1972. Following membership changes throughout the 1970s and 1980s, the conference went through restructuring and renaming. With the addition of Millsaps College of Jackson, Miss., Trinity University of San Antonio, Texas, in 1988, Hendrix College of

Conway, Ark., and Oglethorpe University of Atlanta, Ga., in 1991, membership reached a then all-time high of eight. In 1991, the conference renamed itself the Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference, its first full-time commissioner Steve Argo was hired, and a conference office was established in Atlanta, Ga. The SCAC added Southwestern University of Georgetown, Texas, in 1993 with participation beginning in the 1994-95 academic year. In 1997-98, the SCAC added DePauw University of Greencastle, Ind., with participation beginning in 1998-99. Just this past year, Austin College of Sherman, Texas and Colorado College of Colorado Springs, Colo., were confirmed as members of the league with participation beginning in the 2006-07 academic year. Birmingham-Southern College of Birmingham, Ala., has been approved as the 12th member of the SCAC with play in 2007-08. Sports Sponsorship The Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference (SCAC) sponsors conference championships in 19 sports, including nine for men and 10 for women. The SCAC currently hosts conference championships in baseball, men’s basketball, women’s basketball, men’s cross country, women’s cross country, field hockey, football, men’s golf, women’s golf, men’s soccer, women’s soccer, softball, men’s swimming and diving, women’s swimming and diving, men’s tennis, women’s tennis, men’s outdoor track, women’s outdoor track, and women’s volleyball. The fall season includes championships in men’s and women’s cross country, field hockey, football, men’s and women’s soccer, and women’s volleyball. The winter is highlighted by men’s and women’s basketball, and men’s and women’s swimming and diving. The spring season is capped off with the annual SCAC Spring Sports Festival, which includes championships in baseball, men’s and women’s golf, women’s softball, men’s and women’s tennis, and men’s and women’s outdoor track. The SCAC annually sends numerous teams and individuals to NCAA champi-

A bell, donated by the Norfolk and Western Railway, was adopted as the SCAC’s “President’s Trophy” and serves as the symbol for the conference. The President’s Trophy is displayed for one year on the campus of the school with the combined men’s and women’s athletics program that accumulates the highest points total in the all-sports race established by the conference. The bell is awarded at the conclusion of the Spring Sports Festival. SCAC member institutions are committed to sponsoring a variety of varsity sports to maximize opportunities for student participation. SCAC schools also operate under the principle that participation in sports should be solely from student interest and enjoyment of athletic competition, and that no financial aid shall be given to any student which is conditional upon athletic ability or participation in intercollegiate sports.

The first Dinner for Champions brought together Millsaps College supporters in an event guided by chairman of the M-Club Counsel Steve Hendrix and M-Club Director Jim Page. The featured speaker, former Auburn head coach and Hall of Famer Pat Dye, inspired student-athletes and guests as he discussed the importance of blending athletics and academics. What started out a year ago as an idea of former athletic director Ron Jurney developed into the exciting reality of an annual fundraiser to help support all of Millsaps Athletics. Held on Tuesday, Feb. 6, in the Sparkman Building at the Agriculture and Forestry Museum on Lakeland Drive, the fundraiser brought in more than 170 alumni and guests, with about 75 student-athletes and more than a dozen athletic staff members filling in as waiters, hosts and even parking attendants. And while athletics have always been a valuable part of the college experience at Millsaps, support was never more evident than in the money raised— just over $100,000-- and the turnout that Tuesday night. “I was overwhelmed by the amount of support from the M-Club Counsel, coaches, studentathletes and all of those who attended the dinner,” Page said. “It was an amazing evening, highlighted by a wonderful speaker in Pat Dye, who delivered such a great message about how athletics and academics can intertwine [which was] directed at not only people who attended the dinner but to all of our student-athletes.” With beautiful table decorations and heartfelt, autobiographical descriptions of student-athletes’ experiences, the atmosphere was one of love of athletics and a sense of dedication. Guests, who enjoyed a dinner prepared by Jay Schimmel and his staff at Schimmel’s Restaurant, were out in full force focusing on one common goal—a way to give financial support to all 14 intercollegiate sports offered at Millsaps in one fundraiser. “The amount of money raised will go a long way in promoting and reflecting our athletes’ life experiences at Millsaps College,” Page continued. “I can’t begin to thank all of our donors, alumni, friends, family and staff members who went the extra mile to make this thing happen. I have always been proud to be a Major, but that one night was extra special. With the continued support of Millsaps Athletics, the student-athletes of today and tomorrow will reap the benefits of this annual event.” All proceeds from the Dinner for Champions banquet go directly to the Millsaps athletic programs and will help ensure that the athletic facilities and programs parallel the level of academic excellence that is a tradition at the College. For more information or to give to the athletic program at Millsaps, please contact Coach Jim Page at 601.974.1196.
