2015 Outlook An increase of 17 wins. Fourteen more Southland Conference victories than the year before. A run to the Southland Conference Tournament semifinals. Yes, Year 2 of the Lane Burroughs era of Northwestern State baseball was one of vast improvement. Despite the 2014 Demons’ display of upward mobility, one thing was missing. “We didn’t win a championship,” Burroughs said. “Our guys want to win this league. They want to be in a regional, and they want to go to Omaha. That’s a lot of big talk, but ultimately, that’s our goal, and if it isn’t, it should be or you shouldn’t be doing this.” The good news for Burroughs and the Demons is a large percentage of last year’s roster that more than doubled the 16 wins of 2013 returns to Natchitoches. Up and down the lineup card, Burroughs and his staff of former Demons All-Southland performer Bobby Barbier and

G.T. McCullough will see familiar faces wearing purple and white. Southland Conference Freshman of the Year Adam Oller is back after earning Freshman All-America honors. Oller pitched to a 6-2 record and a 2.44 ERA, but his impact went far beyond traditional statistics. “Our season turned around when he put a stranglehold on Friday night,” Burroughs said. “There’s no other way to look at it. Once he became our Friday night guy, we saw our season change. He’s done nothing to change that.” Oller leads a starting staff that is loaded with options, both Demons veterans and newcomers. Northwestern State returns a group of pitchers who started 43 of the Demons’ 59 games in 2014. Oller led the way with 13 starts, but Josh Oller (3-2, 4.06) and Austin Tanner (2-1, 4.28) each drew 10 starts. Those two are joined by a pair of talented junior college arms, left-hander Chase Hymel, who went 9-0 and helped lead Delgado Community College to the JUCO World Series and was named a JUCO All-American, and right-hander Jeffrey Stovall. Evan Tidwell, who turned in a 3-0 record in 20 appearances as a freshman, is a candidate to start as well, although like both Ollers and Tanner, he has experience working out of the bullpen. “We feel good about Adam, Chase, Jeff, Josh and Austin,” Burroughs said. “They’re all going to fight right there. I feel like with that core group of guys, you have your bases covered on the weekend and mid-week games. After Friday night, we don’t know where it’s going to fall, but that’s what early practice in January is for – to try to figure out where the pieces are going to fall.” The back end of the Demons bullpen also will be a mix of old and new. In his first season in a Northwestern State uniform, right-hander Brandon Smith saved a pair of games and shuttled between different roles, making 22 appearances and issuing just eight walks in 46 1-3 innings. Smith was one of seven Demons who collected saves last season and his pair are the most of any returner. While Smith made his pitch to return as the team’s stopper, he could have company at the back end of the bullpen. Junior college transfer Zach Habarka (New Mexico Military Institute) has, in Burroughs’ estimation, the best arm on the staff and could slot in the closer’s role at some point this season. The different styles Smith and Habarka feature also could allow Burroughs and Barbier to play matchups to nail down the final outs of games. “What (Smith) does is he fills up the zone with multiple pitches,” Burroughs said. “Nothing electric, but he’s a competitor, he wants the ball. He knows how to slow the game down. “(Habarka) has been a pitcher only since August. He was a dual player in SLC Championships: 1991 • 1993 • 1994 • 1995 • 1997 1998 • 2001 • 2002 • 2005


2015 media guide junior college. He has tremendous velocity. It’s just a matter of corralling it and commanding it. His stuff is electric. It’s all about throwing strikes for Zach.” Senior left-hander Hunter Duvic, a starter when he arrived in Natchitoches for the 2014 season, transitioned to the bullpen later in the season and could fill a variety of roles – left-handed specialist, long reliever, spot starter – for the Demons. Other potential contributing pitchers whose roles have yet to be determined include senior right-handers Nathan Aultman and Edward Ruggers, sophomore right-hander Josh Morris, sophomore left-hander Devin Bear, redshirt freshman Brandon Stane, freshman right-handers Brooks Bryan and Jordan Shaffer and freshman left-hander Jason Ortiz. As strong as the pitching staff appears, the projected Demons lineup has Burroughs equally excited. Burroughs likened Year 3 of building a program to the time when coaches reap the rewards of the seeds laid in Years 1 and 2. With seven starters back from last year’s starting nine, the NSU lineup seems ready to do just that, offensively and defensively. “We have a lot of guys back who got quality at-bats,” Burroughs said. “From a skill-set, our strengths are we’re athletic. We have a little more power than we did last year.” There is strength and experience up the middle with the catching tandem of C.J. Webster and Garrett Logan giving new pitching coach Barbier two veterans to help him implement his system. Sophomore Kelsey Richard worked with Webster and Logan last season and picked up valuable experience as a third catching option. Combined with shortstop Joel Atkinson and center fielder Bret Underwood, the Demons have solid bats and gloves manning the middle of the diamond. Either sophomore Matt Alford or freshman David Fry likely will get the call at second base and will find themselves surrounded by veteran presences. Whichever one does not start at second base will follow another pattern with the 2015 Demons and lend depth at other infield positions. “One thing we have that we haven’t had since I got here is depth,” Burroughs said. “I have all these guys, and I have no problem playing any of them.” The NSU roster also features versatility. Chase Daughdrill turned in an All-Louisiana season at third base, starting 58 games at the hot corner, but he has the ability to play both first and third base. The same goes for Caleb Dugas, who started the majority of last season at first base, but also saw time on the mound and can play across the diamond. Freshmen Braedon Barrett and Miller Parker give the Demons staff two more infield options. Across the board, the Demons outfield profiles as perhaps the team’s greatest strength. A fully healthy trio of two-year starter Cort Brinson in left, Underwood, a 20th-round draft pick of San Francisco last year, in center, and Nick Heath in right give NSU an experienced, athletic grouping. Freshman Kwan Adkins (6-foot-2, 195) is built like a prototypical outfielder and flashed a speed-and-power combo during fall workouts. “I’ve been doing this 20 years and, if those guys are full speed and they’re healthy, I have no qualms about saying we have as good an outfield as anybody in the country,” Burroughs said. “I’m not trying to put pressure on or toot NCAA Regionals: 1991 • 1994 • 2005

anyone’s horn, but those guys, they work hard, they’re athletic, they’re strong, they’ve been through it and I’m excited about watching them play.” Whatever combination Burroughs decides to roll out will be tested by a challenging schedule, something that has become commonplace at NSU. In addition to a Southland Conference slate that includes 2014 NCAA Regional teams Sam Houston State and Southeastern Louisiana, the Demons will face tournament entrants UL Lafayette (home and away), Mississippi State and LSU. Northwestern State also will play five games against Power Five conference foes Baylor (Big 12) and Notre Dame (Atlantic Coast Conference). “When you play a tough schedule, it prepares you for the end of the year,” Burroughs said. “I know a lot of people say that, but if you are fortunate to get in a regional, there isn’t anything you haven’t seen. That’s the way I look at it. I think we’ve got the toughest schedule in the league, but we don’t look at it as being problematic. We look at it as an opportunity to get some big wins under our belt, and hopefully, go into our conference tournament with our RPI high enough to where we don’t have to win the tournament to go to a regional.” While schedule strength can be debated, Burroughs and the Demons know one thing -- they will not emerge from the shadows. More than doubling a win total and having individual players earn honors will do that for a team. “I don’t think we’re going to sneak up on anybody,” said Burroughs, whose team was picked fourth in both Southland Conference preseason polls. “We’ve got most of the team back. We embrace expectations. I’d rather there be expectations than none. When you’re getting guys drafted and named to teams -All-American or all-conference -- you know you’re moving in the right direction and that’s the way we want it.”

Lane Burroughs HEAD COACH

SECOND SEASON AT NORTHWESTERN STATE MISSISSIPPI COLLEGE 1995 • @LANEBURROUGHS23 Deemed a rising star in the college baseball coaching ranks, Lane Burroughs wasted little time in putting the Northwestern State baseball program on the same track. In two years as the Demons skipper, Burroughs has restocked the program from a talent standpoint while piloting it to one of the largest turnaround seasons in Southland Conference history on the field. His first two Northwestern State recruiting classes served notice that Burroughs, a native of Meridian, Miss., would not waste time restoring the shine to one of the Southland’s most tradition-rich programs. With a refurbished base of talent, Burroughs and the 2014 Demons more than doubled their win total from 2013, going from 16 victories to 33 and a third-place finish in the league race. Along the way, Adam Oller earned Louisville Slugger Freshman All-American honors, becoming another recruiting gem unearthed by Burroughs, who spent four seasons (2009-12) as recruiting coordinator at Mississippi State. During his time in Starkville, Burroughs played a pivotal role in building the foundation that led to the Bulldogs’ 2013 national runner-up squad. Burroughs’ and his staff’s efforts earned NSU recognition from Baseball America for its “strong” 2014 recruiting class – the first time the Demons coaches had a full year in the recruiting cycle. Baseball America magazine mentioned the likes of Joel Atkinson, C.J. Webster and John Gault among the two-dozen strong NSU newcomers who should make an impact on the 2014 season, and years to come. Northwestern State was one of only three Southland programs to receive high marks from Baseball America for their 2014 classes. Burroughs spent the 2013 season beginning the rebuilding of a proud program, one that led the Southland Conference in wins since 1990. With an average of nearly 36 victories per season, the Demons captured nine Southland championships in a 14-year span (1991-2005). While adding some late signees to the squad on hand that had struggled through the first two losing seasons since 1990, Burroughs’ first campaign as head man was a tough go with a 16-40 record. The culture was established, but the talent level was simply not sufficient. Burroughs described Years 1 and 2 of building a program as planting the seeds and watching them grow. Year 3 is for reaping the harvest, something Burroughs said he hopes comes for his Demons in 2015 and beyond. Burroughs is no stranger to bringing success to the Northwestern State program. As an assistant, Burroughs has coached eight NCAA Regional tournament teams and helped guide the Demons to the 1998 Southland Conference championship. Burroughs was a key factor in Mississippi State’s recruiting efforts, which garnered top 25 national ranking in each season he was a Bulldog. Last summer, MSU advanced to the College World Series and surged through its bracket unbeaten to reach the best-ofthree championship finals, but fell to UCLA’s hot pitching for the NCAA crown in Omaha. Led by former Demons coach John Cohen, State won the 2012 Southeastern Conference Tournament championship, in Burroughs’ last season there, and made a second straight NCAA Regional appearance a year after nearly making the 2012 College World Series field, falling in a nail-biting NCAA Super Regional loss at Florida. During his time at Mississippi State, Burroughs coached 14 Major League Baseball draft picks. Seven went in 2013, including first rounder Hunter Renfroe, a five-tool rightfielder who was chosen in the first round, 13th overall. Six Burroughs-coached or recruited players were named All-Americans. The Bulldogs had 56 All-SEC Academic Honor Roll selections in his time. NCAA Regionals: 1991 • 1994 • 2005

Before joining Cohen in the rebuilding of a once-proud program at Mississippi State, he helped Kansas State emerge as a Big 12 Conference contender, coaching under Brad Hill as the Wildcats reached the Big 12 Conference Tournament champion game in 2008. In a year at Kansas State, Burroughs coached hitters, outfielders and was in charge of recruiting with 14 players drafted and seven top 10 round selections. During his seven seasons at Southern Mississippi, the Golden Eagles had five top 10-round draft picks and produced four major league players while winning their first Conference USA title in 2003 and winning 47 games a year later while setting school records for hits, runs and RBIs. Burroughs was on Corky Palmer’s staff at Southern Mississippi from 1999-2007, serving as recruiting coordinator, hitting coach, infield coach and third base coach as the Golden Eagles made their first six NCAA Regional appearances. When he took over at Northwestern State, Burroughs stepped into a post that has been held by some of the finest coaches in college baseball, and the 18-year coaching veteran received ringing endorsements from former Demon baseball coaches Jim Wells, Dave Van Horn, Rob Childress, Cohen and Mitch Gaspard, among others. He worked under Van Horn and Cohen, and with Childress, in 1997-98 at Northwestern, and arrived back in Natchitoches in 2012 after four years alongside Cohen at Mississippi State.

from 1995-2009. Cohen, whose 2012 team posted a cumulative 3.31 grade point average, was effusive in praising his assistant coach. He actively pushed for Burroughs to take over the Demon program. “He has worked hard for this head coaching opportunity and can handle all aspects of that job at Northwestern State,” said Cohen, 146-84 from 1998-2001 as the Demons’ coach, with SLC titles in 1998 and 2001. “He related well to our players. I asked him to step in for me and give a pre-game speech during a tough stretch for us this past year (2012) and he knocked it out of the park to the point that I had him speak several more times during the season. He is that guy that I can envision speaking to the Kiwanis Club and immediately winning over fans and alumni.” “He has a fire in his belly that will help him be successful,” said Childress, who helped Van Horn’s NSU teams win Southland titles in 1995 and 1997, and guided Texas A&M to the 2011 CWS and two more NCAA Super Regionals after his Nebraska pitchers helped Van Horn’s Cornhuskers make CWS appearances in 2001 and 2002. “Lane can 100 percent do that job,” said Gaspard, who led the Demons a 210-138 record, Southland titles in 2002 and 2005, and a 2005 NCAA Regional appearance, and has since added two more NCAA berths in his first three years running the Crimson Tide program. “He is very, very well-respected in baseball circles and he will do things the right way. He is very professional and will represent the program and the school well. He can sit down with anybody from a booster to an administrator to a player and they’re going to walk away saying ‘that’s a classy guy.’” Burroughs and his wife Susan have three children, Parker Grace (13), Camryn Laine (11) and Thomas Jackson (7). It’s common to see Jackson in a small Demon jersey and cap, with his glove, on the hilltop behind the grandstand playing wiffle ball with his buddies during Demon home games. Burroughs was a catcher and outfielder and a pre-law major at Mississippi College, where he earned an undergraduate degree in 1995. A year later, he received his master’s in social sciences as a graduate assistant coach and he moved to East Mississippi Community College as an assistant coach in 1997 before getting hired at NSU by Van Horn that summer. When Van Horn left for Nebraska, Burroughs steered the NSU program for a few weeks before Cohen arrived in Natchitoches in January 1998. Now he’s at the helm again, with his first full signing class in the dugout, locking shields to forge a new and even greater tradition of championship success for Northwestern State baseball.

NSU is regarded as one of the more remarkable “cradle of coaches” in modern day college basketball history. Wells (an NSU alumnus who was the Demons’ head coach from 1990-94) retired in 2009 as the greatest coach in Alabama history and Gaspard (first an assistant under Wells at NSU in 1993-94) succeeded him at ‘Bama and nearly reached the College World Series two years ago. Van Horn followed Wells in the Demon dugout, and left NSU in December 1997 to take over at Nebraska. He just steered Arkansas into another CWS berth, the fifth of his career along with a Division II national championship. Childress was Van Horn’s pitching coach at NSU (1995-97) and Nebraska, then took over at Texas A&M and has developed a Top 10-ranked program. Cohen, the Demons’ bench boss from 19982001 before Gaspard took the helm, later sparked Kentucky to a Southeastern Conference championship before engineering Mississippi State’s return as a college baseball power. Wells, Van Horn, and Cohen each have won national Coach of the Year honors. “It’s time to get back to Demon baseball, which means having a program that will challenge for conference titles and postseason berths, and Lane Burroughs’ background and personal qualities make him the person to help achieve that goal,” said NSU Director of Athletics Greg Burke at the press conference announcing his new coach. “Our goal is to bring Northwestern State back to being the premiere baseball program in the Southland Conference, and in the process prepare young men for unlimited possibilities in their future,” said Burroughs. At the 2014 Demon Baseball First Pitch Banquet Jan. 31, Burke said: “Lane was absolutely the right hire for Demon baseball. I felt that way when he was hired, and having watched him begin to rebuild the program, in every facet, I’m even more confident. “Baseball acumen aside, Lane is good for our department and for our community. He is a players’ coach who holds his young men accountable while at the same time creating an encouraging atmosphere in the clubhouse and in the dugout,” said Burke, who gave Cohen and Gaspard their first head coaching jobs. “He’s surrounded himself with dynamic young coaches. The energy level in our program is fantastic. The sense that we’re heading for great success is undeniable, and it’s being done in a first-class manner, the right way.” “It’s his (Burroughs’) time and he is certainly qualified to do that job,” said Wells, a Northwestern alumnus, at the time Burroughs was hired. “He has SEC experience, has a stable demeanor and is level-headed; he has acquired baseball knowledge, and is wellrespected. He specifically has great reputation regionally, which is where Northwestern State will get most of its players. “The bottom line is this - when his name was mentioned to me as a candidate for the Northwestern State job, I just thought to myself ‘yeah, that sounds right,’ ” said Wells, 192-89 with three Southland titles and two NCAA Regional appearances from 1990-94 at NSU, before guiding Alabama to three CWS appearances including a 1997 national Burroughs with his wife, Susan, and three childern Parker Grace (R) , Camryn Lain (L) , and Thomas Jackson runner-up finish, six SEC Tournament crowns and five regular-season championships

Bobby Barbier ASSISTANT COACH

FIRST SEASON AT NORTHWESTERN STATE NORTHWESTERN STATE 2006 • @BOBBYBARBIER Former Northwestern State great Bobby Barbier is back for a third tour with Demons baseball, having returned to his alma mater for the second time as an assistant coach. Barbier, the 2006 Southland Conference Scholar Athlete of the Year, played four seasons for the Demons, finishing his career ranked in the top 10 in eight offensive categories. “Bobby’s personality, communication skills and knowledge of the game make him an absolute rising star in our profession,” head coach Lane Burroughs said. “This transition should be seamless considering he wore the purple and orange and already knows everyone on campus and in the community.” Upon his arrival in Natchitoches in the summer, Barbier began implementing and imparting his pitching system that will debut at Brown-Stroud Field this spring. After spending the 2007 season as a student assistant and the following two seasons as an assistant coach, Barbier joined former NSU head coach Mitch Gaspard’s staff at the University of Alabama, where he spent five season as the Crimson Tide’s third base coach. While at Alabama, Barbier coached five All-Southeastern Conference selections, including Academic All-American Taylor Dugas. Twelve Alabama players were selected in the Major League Baseball First-Year Player Draft during Barbier’s Crimson Tide tenure. Barbier was part of a Crimson Tide coaching staff that led Alabama to four regional appearances from 2010-14, including the Atlanta Regional championship and a berth in the 2010 Clemson Super Regional. Barbier’s responsibilities at Alabama included coaching outfielders, assisting with catchers and infielders, directing camps and scouting and being heavily involved in recruiting. Barbier also was the staff’s academic coordinator. Barbier was a key contributor on the field, as Alabama’s defense set a school record for fielding percentage in 2011. During his first stint as a Demons assistant, Barbier coached NSU infielders and hitters

as well as acting as the team’s base running coordinator. Under his tutelage, NSU led the Southland Conference in stolen bases with 99. Barbier also coordinated travel, field maintenance and team academics as an NSU assistant. In his Demons playing career, Barbier epitomized the term student-athlete. In addition to being awarded the Southland’s top individual academic honor, Barbier was a 2004 Academic All-American and a part of the 2005 Southland Conference All-Academic Team. On the field, Barbier saw the majority of his playing time at first base, earning honorable mention all-conference accolades in 2004 and first-team All-Southland honors in 2005 while helping lead NSU to the 2005 Southland Conference title and a berth in the NCAA Baton Rouge Regional. Even though his playing career ended nearly a decade ago, the left-handed-hitting Barbier still ranks in the career top 10 in RBIs (4th, 130), games played (5th, 209), doubles (8th, 33), hits (9th, 181) and total bases (9th, 267). During his college career, Barbier laid the foundation for his future career, coaching American Legion ball for three years (2005-07) in Natchitoches and in his hometown of Lafayette, directing each of his teams to regional tournament berths. Barbier earned his bachelor’s degree in health and human performance from Northwestern State in December 2006. He is married to the former Kody Sprout and the couple has one daughter, Landry Claire.

In an era of considerable change in intercollegiate athletics, the Southland Conference continues to be a model of innovation, stability and consistent achievement as it celebrates a half-century of the academic and athletic accomplishments of its member institutions. Commemorating its 50th anniversary in 2013, the Southland Conference has transformed itself into a dynamic and respected consortium of 14 member universities in four states. Beginning with a historic meeting of five institutions in Dallas on March 15, 1963, the Southland Conference set on an extraordinary course that has proven successful well into its five decades of existence. The successful transformation continues, as the Southland Conference welcomed the addition of Oral Roberts University in 2012-13, marking the league’s first entry into the state of Oklahoma. Also, on July 1, 2013, the Southland welcomed four additional members: Abilene Christian University, Houston Baptist University, the University of Incarnate Word in San Antonio, and the University of New Orleans. In addition to its newest members, the Southland Conference also consists of the University of Central Arkansas, Lamar University, McNeese State University, Nicholls State University, Northwestern State University, Sam Houston State University, Southeastern Louisiana University, Stephen F. Austin State University and Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi. An original Southland member, Abilene Christian rejoins the league as one of the most decorated athletic programs in NCAA history, and the addition of Houston Baptist, Incarnate Word and New Orleans gives the Southland a regular competitive presence in the key metropolitan areas of Houston, San Antonio and New Orleans. Southland cities encompass approximately 14.5 million people, and seven of its television markets rank among the top 100 in the U.S. All told, the membership of the Southland encompasses nearly 140,000 current students and an alumni base of nearly 800,000. Famous alums from current Southland Conference schools include former CBS news anchor Dan Rather (Sam Houston State), NBA executive Joe Dumars (McNeese State), ABC news anchor Robin Roberts (Southeastern Louisiana), Major League Baseball star Wade Miley (Southeastern Louisiana), NBA legend Scottie Pippen (Central Arkansas), and track and field Olympians Kenta Bell (Northwestern State), and Bobby Morrow and Billy Olson (both Abilene Christian). Other notable alums from current members include Grammy Award-winning musicians Frank Ocean (New Orleans), Don Henley and Rodney Crowell (both Stephen F. Austin), and Ronnie Dunn (Abilene Christian), television personality and actress Ellen DeGeneres (New Orleans), current NFL standouts Lardarius Webb (Nicholls State), Terrence McGee (Northwestern State), and Daniel Manning (Abilene Christian), professional golfers Shawn Stefani and Chris Stroud (both Lamar) and Colin Montgomerie (HBU), award-winning filmmaker Richard Linklater (Sam Houston State), American Idol winner Kris Allen (Central Arkansas), NFL Hall of Famer Jackie Harris (Northwestern State), former NFL standouts Bobby Hebert (Northwestern State), Gary Barbaro (Nicholls State), Wilbert Montgomery (Abilene Christian) and Gary Reasons (Northwestern State), former MLB stars Darryl Hamilton (Nicholls State) and Kevin Millar (Lamar), NCAA football coach Charlie Strong (Central Arkansas), TV personality Kathie Lee Gifford (Oral Roberts), actors John Larroquette (New Orleans), and Ricardo Chavira and Jesse Borrego (both UIW) and NFL coaching legend O.A. “Bum” Phillips (Lamar and Stephen F. Austin). Continuing its tradition of innovation, the league launched the Southland Conference Television Network in the fall of 2008 and has broadcast more than 160 events. The network has expanded its reach to roughly 13 million households throughout Texas, Louisiana, Arkansas and Oklahoma in recent years, and has also gained national viewership through ESPN3 and Fox College Sports. In its first five years, the network has received recognition for its work, earning numerous College Sports Media and Telly Awards. The Southland Conference, in conjunction with the city of Frisco, Texas, and Hunt Sports Group, also serves as the host to the NCAA Division I Football Championship Game in Frisco, which has been home to the conference headquarters since 2006. The game is played at Frisco’s FC Dallas Stadium, and after a successful three-year run, the partnership was rewarded with a three-year renewal to serve as the national championship host site through the 2015 season.

Field

H O M E O F T H E N O R T H W E S T E R N S TAT E D E M O N S BUILT IN 1939... Brown-Stroud Field has been home to nine Southland Conference titles since 1991. Named after the first two baseball head coaches in school history - C.C. Stroud (1912-1930) and H. Alvin Brown (1949-1966), the ballpark has undergone significant changes in the past few of years with the addition of chairback seating, extended bleachers, an awning covering to protect the new seating, expanded dugouts, new landscaping, new field turf to the infield, and new for this season, a state-of-the-art sound system. Year in and year out, the Demons have faced some of the top teams in college baseball including College World Series teams LSU, Alabama, UL Lafayette, Nebraska and Missouri State. Other top-notch opponents stepping foot in Brown-Stroud Field have been Arkansas, Baylor, TCU, Missouri, Houston, Kansas State, Oral Roberts and Iowa State just to name a few.

DEMON BASEBALL... A HIT SINCE 1912 All-Americans. Conference championships. NCAA Regional appearances. All of the above have been part of the tradition that is Northwestern State baseball, a program that has made its share of headlines and memories in the last eight decades. NSU’s baseball tradition dates to 1912, when the first incarnation of the Louisiana Normal nine won 7 of its 11 games. With the exception of a 18-year gap from 1930-1948, the diamond Demons have written a legacy of success for the better part of a century. Individual accomplishments have blended into team success, creating a program that has enjoyed a run as one of the best in the Southland Conference in the last three decades. Numerous All-Americans have donned the Purple and White, beginning with Danny Turner in 1967 when the Demons competed at the NAIA level. Darryl Woods bridged the gap between the NCAA and NAIA eras, earning All-American honors after belting a school-record 19 home runs. Outfielder Terry Joseph was a two-time Academic All-American (1993, 1995) and ranks 9th in career batting average. Pitcher Reggie Gatewood was named a second-team All-American by the National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association in 1994 after posting an 11-3 record and a 2.14 ERA. Shortstop Ryan Anholt earned third-team All-American honors from the American Baseball Coaches Association in 1998 when he batted .417 with 15 home runs and 71 RBIs in his junior season. Three Demons pitchers have earned Freshman All-American honors – Kyle Broughton and Dereck Cloeren in 2005 and Adam Oller in 2014. One of the most decorated runs in NSU baseball history began with its entrance into the Southland Conference, a league the Demons have called home for the past 27 seasons. In that time, the Demons have accumulated 49 first-team All-Southland Conference selections, seven Coach of the Year awards, four Pitcher of the Year honors, two Hitter of the Year awardees, eight Newcomer or Freshman of the Year winners and one Relief Pitcher of the Year. As a team, the Demons have captured 10 conference championships. Included in that grouping is a run of three straight SLC titles (1993-95) that has been accomplished by just two other Southland school. Perhaps more impressive than the sheer volume of championships is Northwestern State’s three NCAA Regional appearances during their Southland Conference membership. Each time the Demons have advanced to NCAA postseason play, they have done so as an at-large team, speaking to their ability to put together impressive regular seasons. In 1991, coach Jim Wells’ Demons earned the first NCAA Regional berth in school history and were placed in the NCAA South II Regional in Baton Rouge. The Demons fell to eventual national champion LSU, 11-2, and were edged by UL Lafayette, 11-7. Three years later, Wells’ Demons earned another at-large bid and were placed in the Midwest I Regional in Stillwater, Okla. After dropping the opener to perennial national power Cal State Fullerton, 11-3, NSU earned its first NCAA Regional victory, as Gatewood overpowered Illinois State, 8-2. NSU fell to Memphis, 14-9, ending its season with a school-record 45 victories. Wells’ success led him to become the head coach at Alabama, ushering in a flood of NSU coaches who took control of Southeastern Conference programs. Currently, former NSU coaches are head coaches at Arkansas (Dave Van Horn), Alabama (Mitch Gaspard), Mississippi State (John Cohen), Ole Miss (Mike Bianco) and Texas A&M (Rob Childress). The Demons’ decade of dominance continued in 1996 with two wins at eventual national champion LSU. Two years later, NSU notched its sixth Southland title and fourth 40-win season of the 1990s. NSU closed the decade with a 38-21 campaign in 1999. Included in that season were wins against LSU and UCLA. The Demons closed the decade with a .658 winning percentage, which ranked 23rd in the nation. The 2000s brought continued success with a seventh Southland title in 2001. That season, NSU defeated LSU, 10-8, in front of a record crowd of 4,214 screaming Demons fans at Brown-Stroud Field. NSU repeated as Southland champions in 2002, winning 43 games in Gaspard’s first season. The Demons cracked the national top 25 for the first time in school history, reaching No. 23 in the Collegiate Baseball poll. NSU’s 2005 season was simply overpowering, as the Demons racked up 22 Southland wins and won the conference by five games, the largest margin in Southland history. NSU earned the third NCAA Regional trip in school history, traveling to Baton Rouge where it fell to nationally ranked Rice, 7-3, in its opening game before recovering to beat Marist, 4-3. NSU fell to state rival LSU, 12-4, in its next regional game. In 2010, NSU tied its school record for conference wins with 22 and added victories against nationally ranked Southern Mississippi and Texas A&M. Four Demons earned first-team All-Southland Conference honors and the conference named Chad Sheppard its Relief Pitcher of the Year. The next three seasons were uncharacteristically trying for the Demons, who nevertheless had three players drafted in 2012, including second-round pick Mason Melotakis (Minnesota). The hiring of Lane Burroughs, a Mississippi State assistant under Cohen, signaled a return to form for the Demons program. After going 16-40 in his first season, Burroughs engineered a remarkable turnaround, winning 17 more games in his second season. NSU also authored the largest single-season turnaround in Southland Conference history, increasing its conference win total from 5 to 19.

Dr. Jim Henderson

Northwestern State President Dr. James Henderson assumed the president’s office on Jan. 1, 2015. Prior to NSU, Henderson served as chancellor of Bossier Parish Community College since 2009. In that time, BPCC has grown enrollment by more than 84 percent and increased annual certificate and degree completions by 90 percent. From 2011-13, BPCC was among the five fastest growing community colleges in the nation with enrollments of between 5,000 and 9,999. Under Henderson’s leadership, the college created market responsive programs in nursing, oil and gas technology, construction management, industrial technology and engineering. Henderson was senior vice president, workforce and economic development/career & technical education for the Louisiana Community & Technical College System from 2005 to 2009. He served as appointing authority and chief executive officer of the LCTCS comprised of eight regional technical colleges serving more than 26,000 students. Under his leadership, the statewide technical college system with 42 individually accredited campuses was transitioned into eight regionally accredited technical colleges. During Henderson’s tenure, LCTCS enrollment grew by 98 percent and helped obtain more than $65 million in grants, appropriations and private funding to enhance workforce development. In partnership with Louisiana Economic Development, Henderson helped create Louisiana FastStart, the nation’s top-ranked state workforce training program. From 2001 to 2005, he was director of administration and director of workforce development for the Louisiana Department of Labor. Henderson was in the private sector for 10 years in hotel management. He worked for Mississippi Management, Inc., Kemmons Wilson Companies and Ryco Management, playing a leadership role as each company achieved record growth in profitability. A native of Shreveport, Henderson is a Northwestern State alumnus as is his wife Tonia. He earned a Master of Science in Administration from the University of West Florida and a Doctor of Management from the University of Maryland – University College. The Hendersons have three children, Reagan, Nicholas and Alexander. Dr. Jim Henderson and his family Tonia (wife) and children Reagan, Nicholas and Alexander

WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING ABOUT DR. JAMES HENDERSON

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

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

“Jim Henderson is one of the most exceptional graduates of University of Maryland University College’s Doctor of Management program. His vast knowledge of higher education and his commitment to the academic success of students are second to none. He also is exceptional at creating partnerships with businesses and other community organizations, thereby dramatically enhancing the quality and reputation of Bossier Parish Community College. Perhaps most important is his warm and open approach to communication. College constituencies are encouraged by his style to feel comfortable expressing their points of view. I was fortunate to be his dissertation advisor as he completed his outstanding dissertation. I deeply admire Jim and all that he has accomplished.” Charlene Nunley Program Director (Retired), Doctor of Management - Community College Policy and Administration, University of Maryland University College

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

“Northwestern has great days ahead. Dr. Henderson is a man of the highest level. He is a person of great integrity and knows how to empower people. Dr. Henderson is a very forward-thinking individual. Because of him, the staff at BPCC has a can-do attitude. They believed that could accomplish things in spite of what is happening externally. He played a pivotal role in helping our board reshape how it functions.” Bruce Willson Jr., President/CEO, United Way of Northwest Louisiana

“Dr. Henderson is a man who inspires great trust and confidence.

People believe in what he is doing and want to be part of a new and exciting vision and challenge.” Miles Hitchcock, Assistant Professor of Technology, Engineering and Mathematics, Bossier Parish Community College SLC Championships: 1991 • 1993 • 1994 • 1995 • 1997 1998 • 2001 • 2002 • 2005

Jerry Pierce

Vice President • External Affairs Only a handful of people have served Northwestern State as long as Jerry Pierce has, and nobody has done so in a more understated manner. In his 50th year on the university’s staff, Pierce’s impact on NSU and the city of Natchitoches is indelible. He’s never wanted or gotten top billing, but consistently, he gets results to benefit the university. He is in his 24th year as vice president of external affairs at Northwestern. A significant aspect of his job is oversight of intercollegiate athletics. Pierce works closely with athletic director Greg Burke and all NSU coaches and staff members to keep Northwestern athletics competing at a championship level week after week, month after month and year after year. Pierce is an avid tennis player who has been a member of USTA teams that have won more than a dozen state championships, five regional titles and one national championship. Well before moving into the executive position, Pierce had already served his alma mater, adopted hometown and state with distinction. In his role as vice president, he overNSU Athletic Council sees university operations in athletics, alumni and development, public Jody Biscoe (Chair) and media relations and assists President Dr. Randall J. Webb in governLaCarsha Babers mental affairs activities. Many of those duties were his since the 1970s as Brittany Blackwell he worked under four previous presidents as Northwestern advanced from Kaymin Carter (Student) NAIA to NCAA College Division to NCAA Division I athletic status in 1977. Catherine Faucheaux A 1961 graduate of Northwestern, Pierce served as trainer/manager Cole Gentry for the Demon football team during his college years, working closely with Baylee Gray (Student) legendary coach Jack Clayton. After earning his journalism degree, Pierce Kelee Roddy went to work for the New Orleans Times Picayune, serving as a reporter Steve Gruesbeck and editor. He was named executive sports editor at the age of 24. Aaron Johnson Marcus Jones In 1965, he chose to raise his two sons in Natchitoches and returned Natalie Laurence to NSU as sports information director. He was promoted to news bureau Dr. Jack Pace director two years later and assumed additional responsibilities in athletDr. Charles Pellegrin ics, alumni affairs and other areas through the years. Kelee Roddy He founded, in 1972, the Louisiana Sports Hall of Fame facility in Steve Story Prather Coliseum on the NSU campus, providing a home for an entity creEx-Officio Members ated in 1958. He established annual induction activities that remain in Greg Burke place nearly four decades later, and served as director of the Hall for 19 Carrie Greene years until his promotion to vice president in 1990 forced him to step aside Dustin Eubanks Roxanne Freeman from the volunteer post. Dr. Patrice Moulton He helped guide Northwestern into three athletic conferences (Trans Dr. Vicki Parrish America, 1979; Gulf Star, 1983; Southland, 1987) and NCAA Division I staJerry Pierce tus in 1977. He is a past president of the Southland and has served the Dr. Randall Webb conference through other offices and committee positions. In 1994, he was named one of Louisiana’s 20 most influential sports figures by the Times-Picayune. Also on the list were New Orleans Saints owner Tom Benson, LSU athletic director Joe Dean and basketball coach Dale Brown, and Grambling football coaching legend Eddie Robinson. His salesmanship and managerial skills were instrumental in convincing Tri-Star Productions to film the 1989 smash hit movie “Steel Magnolias,” with an all-star cast including Julia Roberts, Sally Field and Dylan McDermott in Natchitoches and on the NSU campus. The movie’s impact on tourism in Natchitoches continues to resonate more than two decades later. Pierce is regarded as one of the most effective legislative liaisons for Louisiana’s higher education system. He is also a popular after dinner speaker and master of ceremonies who has spoken at hundreds of events since 1965. In addition to his administrative responsibilities, Pierce is a member of the Journalism Department faculty. He is the author of one book and editor of two others and has written thousands of editorials, columns, features and other articles for newspapers and magazines. Pierce and his wife Regina, a teacher, live on Cane River Lake in Natchitoches. He has two sons, Randy and Rick, both NSU graduates; and three grandchildren, twins Evan and Amanda, 23, and Miranda, 12, and two stepchildren, Nicholas and Natalie.

Greg Burke

Director of Athletics The Burke File

AGE: 58 (Born Oct. 22, 1956) • HOMETOWN: Alliance, Ohio • HIGH SCHOOL: Marlington ’74 • COLLEGE: Mt. Union ’78 (cum laude) POSTGRADUATE: Kent State ’86 • BEFORE HE WAS A.D.: Sports writer, Alliance (Ohio) Review, 1972-78; director of news and sports information, Hiram (Ohio) College (1978-85); administrative intern, NSU athletics, 1985-86; director, NSU Athletic Association, 1986-92; director of athletic development, University of Akron, 1992-96. BIG FAN OF: Cleveland Browns, Indians and Cavaliers • INTERESTS: Working out, watching ESPN and VH1 Classic, family outings.

In his 19th year as director of athletics at Northwestern State, Greg Burke has received national acclaim for the job he’s done in his adopted hometown. Burke has been athletics director at Northwestern since Aug. 29, 1996, when his first day included speaking at the annual NSU/Independence Bowl Kickoff Luncheon. Burke is the longest serving AD at any Louisiana or Southland Conference institution. He has steered NSU athletics to many of its greatest accomplishments while overseeing a program that has fielded championship caliber teams in nearly all of the school’s NCAA Division I sports. During Feb. 2013, he was presented the “Outstanding Contributions to Amateur Football Award” by the north Louisiana chapter of the National Football Foundation and College Football Hall of Fame. Two years ago, he was included among 29 winners of the Under Amour AD of the Year Award presented by the National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics (NACDA). Burke was the 2010-11 president of the Football Championship Subdivision Athletics Directors Association. He has just been named to the newly formed NCAA Committee on Academics, a 20-person group replacing the Committee on Academic Performance, which included Burke, and the NCAA Academic Cabinet. Burke also has served on the NCAA Championships/Sports Management Cabinet. He previously served a four-year term on the NCAA Division I Football Issues Committee (1999-2002) and concurrently served a term on the eight-member NCAA FCS Committee that administers the national playoffs. Burke has served as a site supervisor for Football Championship Subdivision playoff games across the nation, and he is regarded as one of the country’s premiere advocates of FCS football. Burke’s 17 years as athletic director include 37 Southland Conference regular-season or tournament championships, 61 All-American and Academic All-American student athletes, and three U.S. Olympic competitors. Twenty NSU teams have taken part in NCAA or WNIT postseason competition. All of the school’s athletic facilities have undergone nearly $7 million in improvements in the past four years. Burke spearheaded a $2 million series of sponsorships for new scoreboards installed for 2008-09 at all NSU athletic venues; the $700,000 Second Century Circle fencing project for athletic venues; and a $500,000 softball grandstand project completed earlier this year. NSU in 2004-05 became the first (and remains the only) Southland Conference member in the league’s five decades of history to sweep football, men’s basketball and baseball championships in the same athletic year. It’s been done only once in Southeastern Conference history, by Alabama in 1933-34, and only four times in Big Ten Conference history, the last time by Michigan State in 1979-80. Those accomplishments have come with one of the more modest athletic budgets in the state and conference. Burke’s management skill and fundraising ability have been pivotal. Burke has displayed a remarkable ability to hire dynamic head coaches. In just their second seasons, women’s basketball co-head coaches Brooke and Scott Stoehr guided NSU to the NCAA Tournament while baseball coach Lane Burroughs executed the best one-season turnaround in Southland Conference history and tied NSU’s school record. Anchors of the NSU department include current gead coaches Mike McConathy, Louisiana’s all-time career basketball wins leader; 2013 Louisiana softball coach of the Year Donald Pickett; Hugh and Stephanie Hernesman, who just led the volleyball program to its best two seasons in the 31-year history of the program; and Patric DuBois, whose Lady Demon tennis program has two Southland Conference titles in the past four years. Several other Burke hires had great success at Northwestern State that propelled them to national prominence in subsequent positions. From his first day on the job, Burke has stressed the importance of having a balanced athletic program. To that end, tremendous competitive strides have been made in women’s athletics under his guidance. Along with the aforementioned volleyball surge, NSU’s soccer program was the first in Louisiana to reach the NCAA Tournament. Softball and tennis made NCAA Tournament appearances in 2013, the second in four seasons for Lady Demon tennis, and softball returned in 2014. Burke has established a high standard for NSU Athletics in academic achievement and community service. The academic accomplishments are reflected annually in the NCAA’s APR and GSR studies. Community service by NSU student-athletes, coaches and staff more than doubled to over 5,000 hours in 2009-10 and has remained at that level. Burke spearheaded the adoption of the slogan “Great Tradition, Brighter Future” for NSU Athletics, and the creation of NSU Athletics “Cornerstones” for student-athletes: “Academic Achievement, Personal Responsibility, Competitive Success … Every Minute, Every Hour, Every Day!” In 2005, Burke was one of three recipients of the All-America Football Foundation’s Gen. Robert R. Neyland Outstanding Athletic Director Award and that same year, was also tabbed as one of two Natchitoches Parish Cenla Newsmakers of 2005 by the Alexandria Town Talk newspaper’s editorial staff. He received the 2006 “Outstanding Alumni Award” from his alma mater, Marlington High School in Alliance, Ohio, recognizing his community service and professional achievements. Burke became one of only 21 alumni honored since the award was instituted in 1982. Burke is a past president of the Natchitoches Kiwanis Club and remains active in that civic group. He has also been part of the steering committee for the Natchitoches Christmas Festival and is a former president of the Natchitoches Area Jaycees. He is involved with the American Heart Association and was 2010 March of Dimes chairman locally. His wife, Susu, is a Natchitoches native, NSU graduate and an elementary teacher. Their 20-year-old daughter, Catherine, graduated from St. Mary’s High School in May of 2012 and attends Louisiana Tech. Burke with his wife Susu and daughter Catherine

Graduation rates of student-athletes in soccer, volleyball, men’s basketball, baseball and football ranked in the top four of the Conference. These accomplishments could not have been achieved without the support and efforts of the student-athletes, coaches, faculty, and administration. Also, Jody is the Director for the Louisiana Addiction Technology Transfer Center at NSU. He has served on the National Addiction Technology Transfer Center’s (ATTC) - Practice and National Leadership Institute Committee. In addition, he has coordinated five nationally recognized leadership institutes for Louisiana, Texas and New Mexico and a member of the National ATTC Leadership Directors Committee. Recently, he was appointed to the NAADAC - National Addiction Studies & Standards Collaborative Committee.
