In game two, EKU took its first lead of the afternoon with a 7-6 advantage, and nine lead changes and 10 ties later they pulled out a 30-27 win to even the match at one. JSU recorded 24 kills in the game, five more than in the first, but 28 EKU digs paced the effort. Withers set the JSU attack, recording 22 assists.

A CHAMPIONSHIP TRADITION

A Championship Tradition Jacksonville State athletics continued its dominance and added to its long list of success on certain fields, while making huge strides in new areas during the 2016-17 academic year.

The Gamecocks won their third-straight Ohio Valley Conference football championship and remained one of the nation’s top programs on the gridiron, while also claiming their ninth men’s golf title and the 15th softball title in school history. The 21st football conference title in JSU history was its sixth in the OVC and came in historic fashion, but the biggest story of 2016-17 for the Gamecocks came on the basketball court.

After hiring Ray Harper to lead the JSU men’s basketball program in April, JSU saw a vision become reality in lightning-quick fashion. Harper and his staff took a program that went 8-23 the year before and went 20-15 in their first season, including the OVC Tournament title and the school’s first berth in the NCAA Division I Men’s Basketball Tournament.

John Grass (Football) and Jana McGinnis (Softball) earned OVC Coach of the Year honors, while Eli Jenkins Offensive), Darius Jackson (Defensive) and Marlon Bridges (Freshman) swept the OVC’s Football Player of the Year Awards. Jenkins was named the OVC’s Male Athlete of the Year for the second-straight year, one year after becoming the first Gamecock to ever receive the honor.

Jacksonville State was the first school in the nation to lay claim to NCAA national titles in football, men’s basketball and baseball at the Division II level or higher. The Gamecocks were the only school to achieve the feat until 2017, when Florida added the Division I Baseball title to its Football and Men’s Basketball titles. JSU and Florida are the only two schools to even play for all three at the Division II level or higher.

Since joining the Ohio Valley Conference in 2003-04, Jacksonville State has solidified itself as the preeminent athletic program in the conference. The Gamecocks have won 63 OVC Championships, more than any other program in the OVC during that same time period. JSU has seen 10 of its 17 programs bring home various OVC titles and combine for 45 trips to NCAA postseason play. www.JSUGamecockSports.com

TERRY GAMBLE

HEAD COACH • FOURTH SEASON

Terry Gamble was announced as the sixth head volleyball coach in Jacksonville State University’s history by then-athletics director Warren Koegel on March 7, 2014.

Gamble arrived in Jacksonville with nearly 20 years of head coaching experience at the collegiate level where he previously compiled a 799-236 overall record. He was elected to the NJCAA Volleyball Coaches Hall of Fame in 2007, after winning three National Championships.

“I’m very excited about the opportunity at Jacksonville State University,” Gamble stated during his hire. “This program has been successful in the Ohio Valley Conference in the past, and I hope we can return back to the top of the league.”

Gamble earned his first victory at Jax State, and the 800th of his career, on September 4, 2014 against Alabama A&M. He led the Gamecocks to an 18-16 mark in his debut season securing the first winning season, overall and in conference play, for the Gamecocks since 2010. JSU also returned to the Ohio Valley Conference Tournament after missing it the year prior.

Gamble’s winning mentality was felt quickly in Jacksonville as he turned around a program that had fallen off in recent years. The 18 wins in 2014 were the most since the 2009 campaign, the year JSU won its last conference title. Under Gamble that season, senior Nicole Merget earned All-OVC while freshman Allyson Zuhlke made the conference’s All-Newcomer team.

The success has carried over to the classroom with 32 Gamecocks making the OVC Commissioner’s Honor Roll from Gamble’s first three teams. Five separate players have been awarded the Academic Medal of Honor including multiple winners: Charis Ludtke, Jennifer Hart and Mackenzie Rombach. Since 2014, JSU has claimed four-consecutive ACVA Team Academic Awards. Gamble’s 2015 squad carried a combined 3.51 GPA throughout the 2015-16 academic year, an average that improved to 3.65 during the 2016-17 year to rank among the Top 25 in Division I volleyball.

THE OHIO VALLEY CONFERENCE

2 017 M e d i a G u i d e • • • T H E O V C

Now in its 70th year, the Ohio Valley Conference continues to build on the success that has made it the nation’s eighth-oldest NCAA Division I conference.

In May 2011 the Conference expanded for the second time in four years, adding Belmont University which began competition in the 201213 academic year. The addition of Belmont gave the OVC 12 members, the most the league has had at one time in its illustrious history. The move added a second team in the city of Nashville and was the first addition to the league since Southern Illinois University Edwardsville joined in 2008. Subsequently, the league has shown its stability over the past decade, seeing only one member institution depart over the past 17 years.

The 2009-10 school year saw a change in leadership as Beth DeBauche was named the seventh full-time Commissioner in league history on July 28, 2009. The last three commissioners of the OVC have moved onto jobs as the commissioner of the Big Ten, Big 12 and the Mid-American Conferences.

The OVC’s proud history 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 February 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. In the 1950s, the OVC became a pioneer on a much more significant scale socially. During times of racial segregation, league member Morehead State became one of the first non-traditionally black mid-southern institutions to accept a black

student. In 1958 Marshall Banks earned athletically-related aid at Morehead, which signed a second black athlete, Howard Murphy, a year later. In 1961 Murphy earned all-conference recognition as a halfback in football. With racial barriers broken, the rest of the institutions in the league began to provide educational and athletic opportunities to African-Americans.

After Title IX legislation passed in 1972, women’s athletics began a rebirth on the national scene as the NCAA began sponsoring and marketing women’s sports. Recognizing the need to provide increased opportunities for female athletes, the OVC began formulating plans for women’s athletics in 1975 and established women’s championships in the sports of basketball, tennis and track in 1977, with cross country and volleyball added over the next four years. Those sports were initially governed by the Association of Intercollegiate Athletics for Women (AIAW), but the overall strength of women’s programs in the league was demonstrated by the automatic bids the OVC instantly received when the NCAA became the governing body in 1982. The conference added women’s golf and softball in 1994 and women’s soccer in 1998.

Through the past 69 years, 15 teams have won or shared the league’s football title. The list is led

by Eastern Kentucky, winner of 21 outright or shared football crowns, which is tied for the most in Football Championship Subdivision history (with Massachusetts). Among OVC teams, former member Middle Tennessee is next with 11 titles, followed by Tennessee Tech with 10, and Murray State and former member Western Kentucky with eight apiece. Eastern Illinois has claimed seven football crowns and Jacksonville State has six, while Morehead State, Tennessee State and former members Evansville and East Tennessee State have captured two apiece. Austin Peay, Southeast Missouri, UT Martin and former member Youngstown State have one title apiece.

After being approved by the Board of Trustees in April of 2015, beach volleyball became the 17th varsity sport at JSU. Ten months later, the first team in school history hit the sand for preseason practice in February of 2016.

The Gamecocks made their Beach debut on March 19 in Columbia, S.C., against the University of North Florida.

JSU hosted ULM in the first-ever home dual on March 29, 2016.

THE HISTORY

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 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.

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.

GREG SEITZ

G

ATHLETIC DIRECTOR

reg Seitz was named Director of Athletics at Jacksonville State

by President Dr. John M. Beehler on February 26, 2016 after more than two decades of service to the University.

Seitz, who is in his 25th year in the athletic department at JSU, served as interim Athletic Director for 14 months, marking his third term as the interim Athletic Director for the Gamecock athletic department.

“We are very excited to have Greg Seitz lead our athletic department,” Dr. Beehler said. “Greg is very well respected in the OVC, the NCAA and nationally, and has proven himself while serving in the interim role. We work very well together.

With his excellent contacts, he will do an outstanding job leading our athletic department into its bright future. I’m pleased to remove the interim title and introduce him as our Athletic Director.”

In Seitz’s two-plus years at the helm, the Gamecocks have seen unprecedented success on the field and in the classroom. The 201516 season saw JSU’s highest ever finish in the men’s Capital One Cup at No. 18, ranking the Gamecocks in the top 20 athletic departments among 347 NCAA Division I athletic programs. The 2016-17 season also saw JSU finish in the top 40 at No. 39, tied with Louisville, Harvard and South Carolina and 35 spots ahead of the next Ohio Valley Conference program.

The 2015 football season saw the football team post it’s first-ever No. 1 ranking in school history, and earn the No. 1 National seed in the FCS Playoffs before advancing to JSU’s first Division I National Championship Game appearance. The Gamecocks set more than 50 school records and ranked in the top three in attendance at the FCS level after hosting threestraight home playoff games.

One year later, The Gamecocks reached that No. 1 national ranking again on the gridiron before entering the FCS Playoff as the No. 3 National Seed.

In the classroom, the Gamecock studentathletes posted an impressive 3.10 cumulative grade-point average for last year, marking the fifth-straight year the student-athletes have achieved at least a 3.0 cumulative GPA.

86

Additionally, 11 of the 17 sports at Jax State posted a team grade point average higher than a 3.0.

Seitz has been with JSU since 1993, when he began working as assistant sports information director. In 1999, he became Sports Information Director and was promoted to Associate Athletic Director in 2002, before being promoted to Senior Associate Athletic Director in 2011.

“I am extremely humbled and honored to have the opportunity to serve as the Athletic Director at Jacksonville State,” Seitz said. “I would like to thank President Beehler, the Board of Trustees and the entire Jax State family for their trust and faith in me as we continue to move the athletic department forward. It is an opportunity that I do not take for granted, and I will work hard every day to ensure that we continue to be successful, both in the classroom and on the fields and courts of competition.”

During his term as interim and Athletic Director, the JSU football team has enjoyed a rise to national prominence. The Gamecocks are unbeaten in Ohio Valley Conference play over the past three years, claiming three-straight outright titles and automatic bids into the FCS Playoffs.

During the 2014-15 athletic year, both the Jacksonville State men’s and women’s athletics teams were recognized in the final Capital One Cup standings, which honor the nation’s best Division I athletic programs. The Gamecock men’s team finished 61st, while the women finished 71st out of 347 NCAA Division I athletic programs.

Seitz has been instrumental in many of the facility upgrades at Jacksonville State, including renovations at Rudy Abbott Field, Pete Mathews Coliseum and the lobby of the football field house. Seitz was also involved in the design and addition of the football stadium, and the recent softball stadium and dressing room expansion.

In the summer of 2016, Seitz unveiled plans for a $7.5 million renovation to JSU’s Baseball Stadium, Rudy Abbott Field. The project will

be completed in time for the 2018 season and will include a 1,000-seat spectator grand stand with a shade canopy, an elevated, shaded entertainment or hospitality deck and service amenities, a new state-of-the-art press box to include radio and television broadcast booths, and a game operations center.

The summer of 2017 saw Seitz and the Board of Trustees release their plan to install new state-of-the-art high definition video boards in Burgess-Snow Field, Rudy Abbott Field and University Field, while also placing new scoreboards at the JSU Soccer Field and the JSU Tennis Courts.

Also in 2017, Seitz announced an extension of a 14-year partnership between JSU Athletics and adidas, securing the Portland, Ore., based company as the Gamecocks’ official athletic apparel and footwear brand through the 2021-22 season.

“Greg has worked tirelessly for a number of years in the athletic department at JSU, and also worked with the NCAA and AHSAA on several projects,” said Mr. Thomas Dedrick, chairman of the Athletic Committee of the JSU Board of Trustees. “In each capacity, Greg has earned the respect of both coaches and administrators. We feel that the work that he has done speaks volumes, and the knowledge of the University and its culture made Greg the best person for the job.”

Seitz has served on the NCAA Men’s Final Four Media Coordinator team for the last seven years and was named to the NCAA FCS Football Committee in 2016. He also serves as a site representative for the NCAA during the Division I Baseball Regionals and Super Regionals.

He has also worked numerous NCAA Championships and Alabama High School Athletic Association events over the last 24 years. In 2002, he became the first SID elected as President of the Alabama Sports Writers Association and currently serves as the organization’s secretary and treasurer.
