Coaching Philosophy

o r m o n

life. So, in a way, I feel responsible for

i

ways to prepare our young people for

a t

“Athletics is one of the greatest

trying to help these young athletes take their first steps into the “real world.” To be successful in athletics, an athlete must work hard, be focused on what their goals are, be committed and be willing to work with others.

My philosophy is very simple and easy to comprehend. The players understand from the first day on campus that they will always give 110% in whatever they do, whether it is in the classroom or on the field.

They will always strive to be a better softball player and person than they were the day before. They will respect their teammates, coaches and teachers. And, they will be “winners” in everything they do.

Our softball program will always strive to represent JSU in a positive way. I feel that when you have a team full of players who strive for excellence, you can’t help having a winning season.”

MEET THE COACHES

S H E C OA

Jana McGinnis has developed a softball program at Jacksonville State University that is second to none. She places integrity, success and tradition at the heart of each player and doesn’t stop there.

In McGinnis’ 20th season at the helm of the Gamecocks, their head-first dive into the Ohio Valley Conference has resulted in a quick rise to the top. In fact, in their nine seasons in the OVC, the Gamecocks have won over 70 percent of their games, including almost 80 percent of their conference matchups.

2013 Jana McGinnis GAMECOCK SOFTBALL

Over the past few years, McGinnis has seen the hard work she and longtime assistants Mark Wisener and Julie Boland pay off on the national level. In 2008, she took the program one step higher on the national scene after rolling into the NCAA Regionals, where the Gamecocks earned two wins over Florida State before falling to Alabama in the regional title game on ESPN2.

They climbed another rung of the ladder in 2009, ousting James Madison, Nebraska and Tennessee to claim the NCAA Knoxville Regional crown and advance to the NCAA’s Tuscaloosa Super Regional.

The most decorated season in JSU’s Division I athletics history was a milestone year not only for JSU, but also the Ohio Valley Conference.

It was the OVC’s first regional crown and the deepest any team in the league’s history has advanced into the national tournament.

After a second-place finish in the OVC in 2011, JSU’s seventhstraight campaign in which it has finished in the league’s top two, the Gamecocks claimed their fourth-straight trip to the NCAA’s by winning the OVC Tourney in Charleston, Ill. They eliminated Illinois-Chicago before falling to host Louisville in the semifinals of the Louisville Regional.

In 2010, the Gamecocks swept through the OVC Tournament in Martin, Tenn., to advance to the NCAA Atlanta Regional, JSU’s thirdstraight NCAA appearance.

The 2009 title was McGinnis’ third in five seasons, a run that was set up by her 2005 Gamecocks. They rolled through the league schedule with a 22-4 record and won their last 16 regular-season games to win the school’s first outright league crown since 1997 and convince her peers to elect her the 2005 OVC Coach of the Year. McGinnis’ squad followed that up with the school’s fourth-straight 40-win season in 2006 with a 43-15 mark and a 21-5 league record that placed them second in the standings.

Conference Tournament and eight 40-win seasons, including a streak of four straight from 2003-2006.

In just nine seasons in the OVC, JSU has won 167 of its 224 (.746) conference games and five league titles while placing 51 players on the allconference squads. Her players have been dominant against their peers.

Daniela Pappano was named the 2006 OVC Player of the Year, while JSU also swept the 2005 Player and Pitcher of the Year honors, thanks to outstanding efforts from outfielder Maigin Alexander and pitcher Carly Kellam. Pitcher Ashley Eliasson was named the league’s Freshman of the Year in 2008 before the 2009 campaign saw Nikki Prier and Karla Pittman earn the OVC’s Player and Pitcher of the Year awards, respectively. In 2011, pitcher Tiffany Harbin became the first Gamecock to earn OVC Freshman of the Year honors.

Since 2002, the Gamecocks have attracted regional attention, having been ranked in the South Region poll several times in 10 consecutive seasons.

McGinnis has coached 88 All-Conference and All-Freshman team members and seven Players of the Year, including Ann Shelton in the A-Sun in 1996.

McGinnis is no stranger to winning, outside and between the lines.

A 1991 graduate of JSU, McGinnis was a two-time All-Gulf South Conference guard in basketball. She helped the Gamecocks to a 98-22 record during her four-year playing career, and, in 1991, she played a key role leading JSU to a GSC Championship and the NCAA Division II South Region title.

McGinnis still holds the JSU career record for assists with 603, as well as the single-season record with 204. Following her playing career, she and her twin sister Dana Austin, formerly the JSU women’s basketball head coach, became the only players in JSU women’s basketball history to have their numbers retired.

After her “bright” career as a player, McGinnis began her career in coaching as a graduate assistant under women’s basketball coach Tony Mabry during the 1991-92 season.

The following year, she accepted her first head coaching job as the girls basketball coach at Cherokee County High School, where she led the Lady Warriors to the ‘93 Class 4A state championship.

After another in 2009, she has now been named the OVC’s Coach of the Year three times (2005, 2008, 2009) to go along with her 1996 Trans America Athletic Conference Coach of the Year honor.

During her tenure at JSU, McGinnis has accumulated an overall record of 654-369 (.639). Her accomplishments are plentiful, including the 2009 OVC regular season title and the school’s first at-large berth in the NCAA Tournament, as well as its first trip to the Super Regionals.

Her 2009 squad also made its first appearance in the national polls, finishing the year ranked as high as No. 21 nationally. She also boasts OVC regular season crowns in 2005 and 2008, as well as OVC Tourney Championships and automatic NCAA appearances in 2008, 2010 and 2011. Her Gamecocks won the Atlantic Sun Tournament Title and a berth in the NCAA Regional Tournament in 1996. In her early years, she guided JSU to back-to-back A-Sun Western Division Conference titles in 1996 and 1997. She, with the help of long-time assistant coach Mark Wisener, has led the Gamecocks to 15 consecutive trips to the 2013

2013

Mark Wisener begins his 17th season as the Gamecocks’ assistant softball coach, where his energy and efforts toward the JSU program have added to the success the Gamecocks have seen in the past 16 years.

In 16 seasons as a full-time assistant, he has helped JSU to an overall record of 560-221, including three OVC regular season titles, three OVC Tournament crowns and four-straight trips to the NCAA Tournament and a berth in the 2009 Super Regionals.

Wisener’s duties have steadily increased over the time he has been at JSU. His primary job is the capacity of pitching coach, but he also works as a hitting coach and has the “final word” before the batter steps up to the plate. Finally, he schedules and oversees the team workouts and is a key in the recruiting process for the Gamecocks.

Wisener provides the Gamecocks and head coach Jana McGinnis with what they feel is the perfect fit to keep them competitive on what is a difficult recruiting trail.

After graduating in 1989, Wisener went on to play at Snead State, where he started every game of his two-year career and was a Junior College AllStar.

“It takes a special personality to work with female athletes,” McGinnis said.

“Coach Wisener’s sister and I are best friends, so I have known him for a long time. I trust him tremendously, and we work well together. He has a great knowledge of the game and I owe so much of our success to him.”

In 1992, Wisener left the playing field and transferred to JSU, where he earned his Bachelor of Science Degree in Computer Information Systems in the summer of 1996.

The McGinnis-Wisener relationship, one that has brought unprecedented success to JSU, began in McGinnis’ playing days on the JSU basketball team, where she was a teammate of Wisener’s sister, Robbie.

Wisener was a standout baseball player at Arab High School, starting all four years at shortstop and pitcher on the varsity team. As a senior, he helped his team advance to the second round of the Alabama High School All-Stars Tournament.

“Mark has been very instrumental in the success of this program,” McGinnis added. “To have a good program, it is a must that you have a dedicated and loyal assistant. We have a great relationship and have the same goals in mind for JSU softball. We are very lucky to have him at this university.”

Wisener is married to the former Lynne Scott. Lynne played softball at JSU from 1991-93, when she played second base and pitched for the Gamecocks. They have a son, Jake, and a daughter, Kacie.

policies and making rules. The presidents of OVC institutions, however, have always governed the Conference, long before presidential governance became a national theme.

The Ohio Valley Conference sponsors the following sports: baseball, basketball, cross country, football, golf, tennis and track for men, and basketball, cross country, golf, soccer, softball, tennis, track and volleyball for women. In addition, the OVC also sponsors the combined men’s and women’s sport of rifle.

Now in its sixth decade of competition, the Ohio Valley Conference has grown significantly from its humble beginnings while increasing the number of athletics opportunities it provides for students. Current league representatives include charter members Eastern Kentucky University, Morehead State University and Murray State University, along with Austin Peay State University, Belmont University, Eastern Illinois University, Jacksonville State University, Southeast Missouri State University, Southern Illinois University Edwardsville, Tennessee State University, Tennessee Technological University and the University of Tennessee at Martin.

Entering its 63rd year, the Ohio Valley Conference continues to build on the success that has made it the nation’s eightholdest NCAA Division I conference. In 2012, for only the third time in the past decade, the Conference expanded by adding Belmont University as the league’s 12th member.

The OVC’s proud past dates back to 1948, but seeds for the new league were actually planted in 1941. It was then that Roy Stewart, the athletics director at Murray State, Charles (Turkey) Hughes, the athletics director at Eastern Kentucky, and Kelly Thompson, the public relations director at Western Kentucky, first broached the idea of forming a new conference. Discussions were put on hold by World War II, but reemerged Feb. 27-28, 1948 at the Kentucky Hotel in Louisville as the three original institutions combined with Morehead State, Louisville and Evansville to form the OVC. The vision of leadership demonstrated by the Founding Fathers in 1948 remains alive today as the Ohio Valley Conference prepares for the future. One example is in regard to the current trend in collegiate athletics administration for increased involvement of university presidents in setting

THIS IS Jacksonville State!

Jacksonville and Calhoun COUNTY The Home of

Jacksonville State University

Near Atlanta, Near Birmingham, Near Perfect!

Tucked into the rolling foothills of the Appalachian mountain range in Northeast Alabama, Calhoun County is a growing business center, yet still evokes an atmosphere of small-town America. We are a tranquil community with a fabulous climate of four distinctive seasons, full bloom summers, and brilliantly colored falls. In every direction there are tree-covered mountains, deep canyons, lush valleys, and underground springs. And yet, if you begin to yearn for big city life, we are only 60 miles from Birmingham, and 90 miles from Atlanta.

A surprising variety of experiences await you in Calhoun County. The climate here allows for year round golf, tennis, hiking, or any activity you may enjoy in the great outdoors.

Although our slogan reads, near Atlanta…near Birmingham…near Perfect, our citizens will tell you that the commitment to caring for others combined with a strong work ethic and community spirit makes “Calhoun 2County…the 0 1 3 G a m e perfect” c o c k place S o f to t blive. all Media Guide

when the first graduate program—the master’s degree in elementary education—was created. On August 2, 1966, the Legislature authorized the State Board of Education to elevate the College to university status.

On August 17, 1967, the Legislature established an independent Board of Trustees for the University and divested jurisdiction from the State Board of Education.

The Normal School remained in operation until 1930, when it became Jacksonville State Teachers College. Five years later, the College earned regional accreditation from the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools. The name again changed to Jacksonville State College in 1957

Friendliest Campus in the South

S

From modest beginnings, Jacksonville State University has evolved into the educational center of Northeast Alabama.

The Alabama Legislature in the 1882-83 session created a state normal school when Governor Edward O’Neal signed into law a bill creating the school on February 22, 1883. Jacksonville State Normal School acquired the facilities and equipment of Calhoun College, consisting of 12 acres of land and a two-story brick building. The Board of Directors elected James G. Ryals, Jr., as the first president. The school opened with three instructors: W. J. Borden, Mathematics; Eliza A. Bowen, English; and Ida J. Woodward, primary department. As stipulated in the establishing act, the Normal School administered a preparatory school for children of the town and surrounding areas. At the end of the first year, on August 15, 1884, William Mark Hames, President of the Board of Directors, reported that funds totaling $4,751.25 had been received, including $2,500 from the state; that 25 students were enrolled in the normal school; and that 222 were in the preparatory school.

Traditions

The Alma Mater

Alma Mater, Alma Mater, Grateful voices raise A song of tribute and devotion, Thy honored name we praise.

Light of knowledge, Store of wisdom, Love of truth abide in thee, Quest for beauty, Search for freedom, Thine eternally, Oh, Alma Mater, Alma Mater We humbly bow to thee!

Jacksonville State University has been served by 11 presidents: James G. Ryals, Jr. (1883-85), J. Harris Chappell (1885-86), Carleton Bartlett Gibson (1886-92), J. B. Jarrett (1892-93), Jacob Forney IV (1893-99), Clarence William Daugette (1899-1942), Houston Cole (1942-71), Ernest Stone (1971-81), Theron E. Montgomery (1981-86), Harold J. McGee (1986-99), and William A. Meehan (1999-present).

Jacksonville State University has developed into a modern regional university serving Northeast Alabama on a 392-acre campus with 63 buildings. In addition, the University operates an off-campus center in Gadsden and videoconferencing sites throughout Alabama and Northwest Georgia. Through its programs of teaching, research, and service, Jacksonville State University has served the region and state for more than 100 years.

2013 Why We Are The Gamecocks GAMECOCK SOFTBALL

For nearly a half-century – up until 1946 – the fledgling Eagle Owls hooted with pride from the scanty facilities adjacent to the field at John Forney National Guard Armory.

The State Normal School (SNS) team was sparse by today’s standards, but the gridiron action was competitive from the start. Present day rivalries such as Samford (Howard College) and Troy State were rooted in those early games.

The supporters looked to Southern culture rather than the north pole to symbolize the school’s tough spirit. Tongue firmly planted in beak, Gamecock supporters crowed the loudest, and the University found itself with a new identity: a mascot familiar to everyone, including the farm boys who comprised most of the student body back then.

J S

The story goes that there were two camps - those who wanted to keep the Eagle Owl

S

Along with the new name came new colors.

The blue and gold were tossed out in favor of the familiar red and white worn by the area high school players.

It was all worked out by 1947 when the Fighting Gamecocks took to the field for the first time. And, as is true to the nature of the warlike bird itself, the football team and other athletes fought their way to respectability in intercollegiate ranks eventually bringing home a national championship in every major sport.

I

The exact details are lost to history, but a group of fans decided it was hard for the school’s image to soar like an eagle if the team’s name was something of a turkey. People like E.C. Wilson, Bruce Chase and Charles Sprayberry felt a more collegiatesounding moniker would be more appropriate.

nickname and those who wanted new colors. Legend has it that a compromise was worked out; new colors for a new mascot.

S

Jacksonville State University’s first football team was fielded in the late 1800’s and nicknamed in honor of a rare predatory bird found near the Arctic circle.

The team had only 23 players when SNS was renamed Jacksonville Teachers College in 1946, with Head Coach Don Salls beginning his first season, but there was a “big school” atmosphere developing in the foothills.

T H I

“Go Eagle Owls!” would be the resounding cry from Paul Snow Stadium today if ardent fans hadn’t decided 50 years ago that the school mascot should be a bird of a different feather.
