As President of Treasure Valley Community College it is my pleasure to welcome you to our campus. On behalf of everyone at TVCC, I especially want to express my appreciation for your support of our student athletes. Under the direction of Dean Randy Griffin and Athletic Director Ed Aronson, our coaches and staff are committed to providing team enrichment in a learning-centered college environment. Our college classrooms and laboratories are the primary settings for teaching and learning, we believe there is a lot to be learned on tracks, fields, and courts. TVCC’s coaches are teachers first - mentors who make deep and lasting impressions on their students.
Dana Young President
While the drive to win is important, our real commitment lies in developing leadership traits and the competitive
spirit, which will aid our scholar-athletes throughout their lives. Intercollegiate sports give the College a combined sense of identity and a special pride we can share as we encourage our athletes to reach all of their goals. TVCC’s student organizations and activities, including athletics, also provide a way for the community to be directly involved with the College. We appreciate all that our community does to celebrate and encourage our athletes – we look forward to seeing you at more events!

TVCC ATHLETICS Ed Aronson, TVCC Athletic Director
On behalf of our entire student athletes, coaches, and staff, we would like to welcome you to Treasure Valley Community College. Ed Aronson is in his third year as Athletic Director. He joined the Athletic Department in July, 2008. Prior to joining the NWAACC (Northwest Athletic Association of Community Colleges), TVCC offered four programs (baseball, softball, and men and women’s basketball) with approximately 80 student athletes. TVCC joined the NWAACC conference during the 2003-2004 academic year and added five more programs: men and women’s cross country, men and women’s soccer, and volleyball. Total student athletes grew to 140. The following year, TVCC added six more programs (men and women’s golf, men and women’s track, and men and women’s tennis) and now offers 15 programs, seven for men and eight for women, with over 225 student athletes. TVCC’s 2009-2010 athletic season was highlighted by the men’s tennis team capturing a 2nd place finish at the NWAACC championship’s, the men’s XC team finished 4th at the championships, the baseball team finishing in 5th place at the NWAACC tournament, both men and women’s track finished 7th , and the men’s soccer team finishing in the top eight during its tournament. While Treasure Valley has enjoyed success on the playing fields and courts and in the classroom, it has also continues to improve its facilities. The most recent capital project is the completion of the stadium seating (bleachers) in the John J Easly gymnasium. The partnership with the Boosters, the administration, and students of TVCC was just one of many projects that have enhanced our facilities. Prior to joining the TVCC athletic department, Aronson spent 22 years as the General Manager of a local business. Aronson received his bachelor’s degree from Boise State University in Business Management, after attending TVCC and playing baseball for the Chukars. Aronson also spent two years on the Chukar softball staff during the 20002002 seasons. Aronson, and his wife Jody, have two children Ryan and Tesslyn.

2011 CHUKAR OUTLOOK EXPERIENCE, CHARACTER, SCHEDULE, ATMOSPHERE…. Head Coach Rick Baumann is looking for this year’s club to write a new page in Chukar history. After last year’s 34-13 finish, 19-9 league record, winning the Eastern Division playoffs, and finishing fifth in the NWAACC playoffs, now this year’s team is looking to take that next step toward an NWAACC Championship. The 2010 Chukars steamrolled into the Eastern Division playoffs winning their last six games in league and then went 3-0 at the playoffs before beating Edmonds 3-1 behind the pitching of Derek Allen but disappointingly lost two games in less than 24 hours after a rain delay at the NWAACC Championships and were eliminated. Coach Baumann is hoping that the returning sophomores will remember that bitter taste as they work into the 2011 campaign.
ON THE HILL Coach Baumann has some veteran pitchers in Brad Pollock, Nick Varriale, Darin Johnson, Cole Braase, and Nate Villalobos back to lead the pitching staff. Tyson Flannery and Zach Fabricius have transferred from Lamar Community College and Lewis and Clark State College and should help with depth in the staff. Several unproven freshmen have looked good in the fall and should be ready to step in right away.
NEAR THE WARNING TRACK Jared Forbush (.308) will anchor the outfield in centerfield and the only other sophomore in the outfield is a transfer from Skagit Valley Alex Barbee. Barbee was the most outstanding player in the Boise Summer League last summer and should be able to help Forbush make the outfield a strong part of the defense. There are several freshmen, however, that will be able to step right in and win a spot in the outfield, also.
AROUND THE BASES In the middle infield the Chukars bring back a couple of all-league infielders in Lukas Miller (.317) at shortstop and Kyle Douglass at second base. Miller was very steady defensively and Douglass not only won the second base spot but also hit at a .340 clip. The Chukars plan on moving sophomore Jonathon Matos (.254) to third base to strengthen that position defensively. Douglass and Matos can play any one of the infield positions, also. All league third baseman Kyle Lester (.296) has been moved to the right side of the infield and will play both
2011 CHUKAR OUTLOOK 1st and 2nd base for the Chukars and strengthen that side of the infield with his bat and his glove.
BEHIND THE PLATE
Behind the plate Kyle Blackwell (.264) and Taylor Berg (.361) will battle it out again as they did their freshman year. Baumann felt either one would have been all-league last year had they not had to split time reducing their statistics at the plate.
SCHEDULE
Treasure Valley will have a very competitive pre- league schedule again as they open the year with the Gentry Ford Kickoff Classic before heading to Bend, Oregon where they will play some of the top teams in the NWACC including 2010 NWAACC Champions Lower Columbia CC. The Chukars will also play Chemeketa College, Skagit Valley College, Mount Hood CC, and Centralia CC before heading into league play. League games against the always formidable Eastern Division will be played every Wednesday and Saturday with home and home dates scheduled. The top four teams will play in the Eastern Division playoffs with the winner of the league season not only hosting the tournament but getting an automatic berth into the NWACC Championship Tournament in Longview, Washington.
ATMOSPHERE
Elks Memorial Field, the home of the Chukars, has never looked better. The baseball facility sports a new parking lot and new hitting tunnel area as this year’s new enhancements to the all ready beautiful ball park. Fans will be entertained by excellent baseball while enjoying a minor league atmosphere with souvenirs and concessions handled by the Chukar athletic department. i

ABOUT THE NWAACC The Northwest Athletic Association of Community Colleges is the parent organization for thirty-five(35) community colleges in the states of Washington and Oregon*. The NWAACC has a variety of administrative responsibilities including conference tournament management, eligibility, publications, rule enforcement and sports information. The growth of the community colleges over the past decade has been impressive. The colleges in the Northwest are comprehensive in nature and provide a variety of academic and vocational offerings as well as many enrichment activities for their students. As our student athletes have transitioned into a work environment, many have provided testimony about the significant benefit and value that participation in community college athletics provided for them. Enrollment in community colleges continues to grow as does interest, participation and membership within the NWAACC. * One college outside Washington and Oregon holds partial membership in the NWAACC.
NWAACC HISTORY AND GROWTH 1946: WSJCAC is Born Although athletic competition between junior colleges existed in the 1930’s, the first structured league and championship events in men’s sports first came about when the Washington State Junior College Athletic Conference was formed in 1946. The nine charter members of the WSJCAC were Centralia, Clark, Everett, Grays Harbor, Lower Columbia, Olympic, Skagit Valley (known then as Mt. Vernon JC), Wenatchee Valley and Yakima Valley. Columbia Basin became the tenth member in 1955. The conference offered football, basketball, baseball, tennis, track and golf. In 1963, wrestling entered the picture followed by cross country in 1965 and soccer in 1974. The first two years of the WSJCAC went without any bylaws until the spring of 1948 when Executive Secretary Jim Ennis of Everett JC along with Dave DuVall of Skagit Valley and Maury Phipps of Grays Harbor wrote the original constitution governing scholarship limits, grade eligibility requirements and overall philosophy of the conference’s athletic programs. 1963: The OCCAA is Established in Oregon It was about this time when community college athletics came to life in the State of Oregon. In the winter of 1963, five schools met to exchange ideas on the possible formation of a league. The Oregon Community College Athletic Association then began play in 1963-64 with Blue Mountain, Southwestern Oregon, Central Oregon, Clatsop and Treasure Valley as charter members. The conference more than doubled in size when Clackamas, Lane, Mt. Hood, Umpqua and three others joined in 1968-69. 1964: Washington’s WSJCAC Renamed WAACC In 1961, the Washington State Legislature cleared away a legal roadblock which had forbidden the establishment of junior colleges in those counties that had four-year colleges. That started a spurt of expansion as the conference doubled in size. In 1964, the conference was renamed the Washington Athletic Association of Community Colleges. 1970: The NWAACC is Established The WAACC was renamed the NWAACC when Mt. Hood left the OCCAA to join their Washington neighbors in 1970. It was during the seventies that women’s sports started to grow. Previously they were governed by the Northwest College Women’s Sports Association. Women’s sports were combined with the men’s sports when the umbrella organization of the NWAACC was formed for the 1978-79 season. The job of handling both the men’s and women’s athletics was too much for volunteer athletic directors who performed the task in the past. After the 1978-79 season, a five-member committee from the conference hired Frank Bosone as their first Executive Director. Bosone retired in 1992 and was succeeded by Dick McClain. 1983: Merger - OCCAA Joins NWAACC Northwest community college athletics was forever changed when seven schools from the OCCAA joined the NWAACC for the 1983-84 season. The merger between the Washington and Oregon colleges has helped the NWAACC become a strong organization. Since 1984, nine other colleges have added intercollegiate athletics and/or became NWAACC members. Today, the Northwest Athletic Association of Community Colleges has 35 member schools.

THE PROGRAM If you are looking for a challenge and want to better yourself in the classroom and on the field, we have what you are looking for and much more. TreasureValley Community College is located in Ontario, Oregon, along the Snake River, about 50 miles west of Boise, Idaho. If you are interested in transfer programs to a four-year university, or a two-year Associated degree, TreasureValleyCommunity College offers a variety of courses to satisfy your career interests. The excellent teacher to student ratio, on-campus housing, food service, and the opportunity to play college baseball makes TreasureValley the perfect place to start your college experience. Athletically, TreasureValley Community College is a member of the Northwest Athletic Association of Community Colleges. We compete in the Eastern Division of the NWAACC, which is arguably one of the toughest in the nation. The Eastern Division has produced NWAACC champions in a number of sports, including baseball. We have the resources to offer athletic scholarships to student-athletes who we feel have the character and talent to help us win a championship. Do you have the goal of playing for an NWACC Championship? Our baseball program is new to the NWAACC, but has had an outstanding tradition of success. The program has been to the College World Series twice, most recently in 1990, where we finished fifth. We have an eight-week fall schedule along with an extensive conditioning program in the winter. Our regular season begins in March and consists of 22 dates with the Chukars playing doubleheaders or two games on each date for a 44 regular season games. Should the Chukars finish the season in the top four teams in the Eastern Division of the NWAACC, then they proceed to the Eastern Division playoffs. If the Chukars win the regular season, then they would host the playoffs and be seeded into the NWAACC championships automatically depending on the outcome of the playoffs. In addition, we have the ability to place our returning players in a number of summer programs in an effort to provide an opportunity for our players to continue developing their skills. We provide the exposure our student-athletes need to get to the next level. A majority of our graduating sophomores receive opportunities to play at the four-year or professional level. Our outdoor and indoor facilities are excellent. Elks Memorial field is located on campus, 100 yards from the baseball clubhouse. The field has lights, natural grass, four turf batting cages, a full-inning by inning scoreboard, concessions, restrooms, a souvenir stand and a press box. We also have a quality indoor hitting facility with 2 full tunnels, drill area and portable mounds next to the player’s clubhouse and weight room. We have a genuine concern for the overall welfare of our student-athletes. Everyone associated with our program works very hard to earn their rewards. Our number one priority is education and preparing our student-athletes for the future as we strive for excellence. i
