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 200304, 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.

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.

20

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 202122 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.

THE HISTORY 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.

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.

April 6, 2016, Gamecocks athletics director Greg Seitz announced the hiring of Ray Harper as the program’s 11th head coach and the fifth to run the Gamecocks at the Division I level.

Harper inherited a team that was 8-23 the season prior and had not qualified for an OVC Tournament since 2012. The Gamecocks were picked to finish 12th out of 12 teams during preseason polling, and since joining the Division I ranks in 1993, JSU had never won a conference championship or appeared in the NCAA Tournament. Less than one year after his hire date, the first-year head coach completely changed the perception of Jacksonville State basketball.

The Gamecocks completed the most successful season in the program’s history in 2016-17. Harper led JSU to its first ever Ohio Valley Conference title, first appearance in the Division I NCAA Tournament and just the second 20-win season in the program’s Division I history. JSU finished the 2016-17 campaign as the sixth-most improved team in the nation (+10.0 wins).

The Gamecocks clinched a berth to just their fifth

OVC Tournament since joining the league in 2003-04 with a 70-61 road win over Morehead State to cap the regular season. JSU entered the conference tournament as the No. 4 seed, earning a first-round bye. Jacksonville State defeated No. 5 seeded Southeast Missouri 74-51 in the first round, upset top-seeded Belmont 65-59 in the second round and downed No. 2 seeded UT Martin 66-55 to claim its first Division I title.

Harper became only the second head coach in JSU history to lead the Gamecocks to a 20-win season as a Division I program. He is just the second Jacksonville State head coach to win 20 games in his first season at the helm, tying legendary head coach Bill Jones who began his tenure in 1974 with a 20-7 clip. Harper is one of three first-year head coaches to enjoy a .500+ record; Jones was the last to accomplish the feat in a premiere season 42 years ago.

A veteran with over 30 years of coaching experience at the collegiate ranks, Harper boasts a 451-142 career record in 18 years as a head coach. That career includes four national championships - two at the Division II level and two in NAIA. Harper came to Jacksonville after a five-year stint at Western Kentucky that saw him post an 89-64 mark that included three 20-win seasons and two trips to the NCAA Tournament. After serving over two years as an assistant at WKU, he took over as the Hilltoppers’ interim coach in January of the 2011-12 season and was named the full-time head coach in early February.

At WKU, he went to the NCAA Tournament in 2012 and 2013 and won 20 games in his first three full seasons, making him the first coach in WKU history to achieve the feat.

After taking the helm at Western Kentucky, the Hilltoppers went 11-8 (interim) and 7-1 after he was named full-time head coach, which came after starting the season with a 5-11 record.

His debut with the Hilltoppers saw him rally them to the Sun Belt Conference Tournament title and a win over Mississippi Valley State in the First Round

of the NCAA Tournament in Dayton. A 20-12 record in 2012-13 ended with the Hilltoppers’ second trip to the Big Dance in as many years.

Prior to joining the WKU program as an assistant in 2009, Harper built a head coaching resume that included four national championships, five national runner-up finishes, eight conference titles, five national coach-of-the-year honors and a 34263 record over 12 years at Kentucky Wesleyan and Oklahoma City University.

In nine years at his alma mater Kentucky Wesleyan in Owensboro, Ky., Harper laid claim to seven NCAA coaching records, surpassing Division I recordholders in all instances, including becoming the fastest to 200 wins (224 games), holding the most consecutive 30-win seasons (6) and compiling the most wins in each of the first four-through-eight seasons of his career.

With NCAA Division II title game appearances each season from 1998-03, he became the first NCAA head coach since John Wooden to appear in six-straight NCAA National Championship games. He won in ‘99 and ‘01.

The NCAA requires a minimum of 10 seasons at the Division II level to officially qualify for its list of head coaching records, but Harper’s nine-year record of 247-46 at Kentucky Wesleyan would give him the best winning percentage in Division II history at .843.

At Kentucky Wesleyan, he coached two National Players of the Year, seven All-Americans and nine NABC Great Lakes All-Region players. He had 11 players selected All-Great Lakes Valley Conference and two that were named the league’s player of the year.

Through seven seasons, he had more victories than any coach at the NCAA Division I and II levels (210). Harper reached 200 wins in 224 games, which was faster than NCAA Division I record holder and Hall of Famer Clair Bee, who won 200 in 231 games.

Why We Are The Gamecocks “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.

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 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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

The story goes that there were two camps - those who wanted to keep the Eagle Owl nickname and those who wanted new colors.

Legend has it that a compromise was worked out; new colors for a new mascot.

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.

Jacksonville State 84, Tulsa 73

Jacksonville State 65, Missouri State 91

TULSA, Okla. – The Ray Harper era at Jacksonville State got off on the right foot Friday as the Gamecocks downed Tulsa 84-73 in its season opener.

The 11-point victory snapped an eight-game skid dating back to last season Jan. 24, 2016 at Morehead State. It was the first season-opening victory since 2012 and first over a Division I opponent since defeating Alabama A&M 74-68 to begin the 2003-04 campaign.

Senior Malcolm Drumwright helped Harper to his first win at the JSU helm with a 20-point performance. The point guard also pitched in six assists, sharing the ball with three additional multi-point scorers. Fellow senior Greg Tucker and junior Norbertas Giga scored 17 and 13 points, respectively, and junior Erik Durham added 10.

The Gamecocks controlled the tip and scored first on a Giga layup to take the initial lead.

Tulsa managed to take a brief three-point lead at the 17:55 mark, but it lasted just 1:37 minutes. The contest was either tied or driven by JSU for the remainder.

Jacksonville State went on to shoot 55.2% (16-for-29) in the first half, nailing four three-pointers. Tucker and Giga led the scoring effort with 11 points each, and Tucker was responsible for two of the half’s four treys.

Giga and sophomore Christian Cunningham each barely missed recording double-doubles. Along with his 13 points, Giga reeled in eight rebounds, and Cunningham came up one point and two boards shy of the feat.

Statam led the JSU offense from behind the arc with three three-pointers. The sophomore nailed all three within a two-minute window, going 3-for-5 from long range.

SPRINGFIELD, Mo. -- The Jacksonville State men’s basketball team was unable to overcome a hot-shooting Missouri State squad Sunday afternoon, falling 91-65 at JQH Arena.

Head coach Ray Harper’s squad was not able to defend the three-ball against the Missouri Valley’s preseason fourth-ranked team. Missouri State nailed 15 three-pointers (48.4%). Forty-five of MSU’s 91 points were scored off threes, while they were a combined 30-for-64 from the floor.

Both teams got off to slow starts following a JSU-controlled tip. It took 1:51 before the Bears got on the board with a couple of free throws from guard Dequon Miller. The Missouri State shooters heated up afterwards to run out to a 12-0 lead. The Gamecocks were kept out of the basket until the 14:29 mark when Deshawn Jones hit a jumper.

Despite holding an early rebounding advantage, pulling down 17 rebounds in the first half, Jacksonville State was not able to capitalize on second-chance points. On the other hand, Missouri State took full advantage of the Gamecocks’ 15 first-half turnovers. MSU scored 45 points in the first and 19 came off JSU turnovers.

The Jacksonville State offense surged in the second half, scoring 45 after a 20-point first half. Christian Cunningham scored all 13 of his points in the second half, and 12 of Norbertas Giga’s 16 points came in the second half.

Cunningham and Giga were the Gamecocks’ lone double-figure scorers. The towering duo also led the rebounding effort with a combined 15 boards.

Cunningham reeled in eight and Giga had seven.

Nov. 18, 2016 - Schollmaier Arena

BOWLING GREEN, Ky. – A second-half surge helped Western Kentucky to a 74-67 win over Jacksonville State at E.A. Diddle Arena Wednesday night.

The Hilltoppers used an 18-6 run to begin the second and take a lead following a 30-30 score at the half. Senior guard Thomas Pancake scored all of his 14 points in the second half.

Despite the seven-point loss, head coach Ray Harper was pleased with his team’s play against the Conference USA opponent.

The Gamecocks controlled the first half with 20 rebounds and four points off turnovers. Senior Erik Durham led the scoring effort with 11 points, followed by junior Malcolm Drumwright with nine points.

JSU led for 14:05 of the first half and led by as many as 11 points. A 13-2 run that lasted nearly eight minutes pushed the Gamecocks out in front. Drumwright bucketed seven points during the stretch, but Western Kentucky closed the gap to tie it at the half.

Harper’s squad managed to keep the game close in the second half until the halfway point. The game was tied 46-46 at the 10:52 mark, but that’s when the Hilltoppers went on their game-changing run led by Thomas. The guard went 5-for-7 from the floor and 4-for-6 from behind the arc.

Durham finished the night with a team-best 17 points, and junior Norbertas Giga nailed down 12 in the second half to end with 16 points. It’s the third consecutive game Giga has score 10 points or more. Senior Greg Tucker had 11 points to round out the Gamecocks’ double-figure scorers.

The Gamecocks out-rebounded the Hilltoppers 11-8 on the offensive glass.

Christian Cunningham totaled eight rebounds, and Andre Statam had a teamhigh four offensive boards.

FORT WORTH, Texas – A season-high 19 points from junior Malcolm Drumwright was not enough to lift the Gamecocks over Texas Christian University at Schollmaier Arena.

Jacksonville State (1-3) fell 79-60 to the Horned Frogs (3-0) on Friday following a strong offensive second half from the home team. TCU was 15-for-26 (57.5%) from the floor in the second period to pull away in what had been a neck-andneck contest.

Along with Drumwright’s 19 points, senior Erik Durham (11) and junior Norbertas Giga (11) each tallied double figures. Both Durham and Giga came up two boards short of a double-double.

The Gamecocks kept it tight at the half, trailing 36-31. It was the smallest deficit they had faced when trailing at the half.

Durham bucketed two threes and two free throws to lead the scoring in the opening half. JSU trailed by as many as 12 points, but an 8-1 run gave the Gamecocks momentum heading into the locker room.

Drumwright opened the second period with a three-pointer from the corner, and Giga followed up with a jumper to pull the lead within one point – the smallest deficit since being tied 12-12 at the 12:49 mark in the first half – but went on the offensive almost immediately after.

TCU turned a one-point lead into a 10-point lead in five minutes. Frogs’ guard Brandon Parrish scored 10 of his game-high 20 points during the 15-6 run.

The Gamecocks held TCU to a season-low 79 points despite the defeat. JSU also dished out a season-best 15 assists.

Nov. 22, 2016 - Pete Mathews Coliseum

Nov. 25, 2016 - Thomas & Mack Center

JACKSONVILLE. – A double-double from junior Norbertas Giga and three additional Gamecocks scoring in double-digits led Jacksonville State to a 81-50 win over Dalton State in its home opener Tuesday at Pete Mathews Coliseum.

Giga racked up 12 points and 11 rebounds to record the first JSU doubledouble of the season, while Erik Durham (14), Andre Statam (14), and Malcolm Drumwright (11) totaled the majority of the Gamecocks’ points.

The Roadrunners had the home team on the ropes in the early going, however, as Dalton State scored seven unanswered points on five Jacksonville State turnovers. Dalton State held a first-half lead for just under two minutes before the Gamecocks stormed back.

Following a 15-15 tie at the 13:03 mark of the first period, JSU jumped on a 6-0 run to break the game open. The Gamecocks upped the lead to 12 and kept it until the half, leading 33-21 going to the break. Durham led the scoring in the first half with 10 points, going 3-for-5 from the floor and 2-for-4 from beyond the arc.

Coach Ray Harper opened the flood gates in the second half, out-scoring Dalton State 48-29 in the closing period. Statam led the blistering Jacksonville State offense with 11 points in the frame, going 3-for-3 from three-points range, while the defense held Dalton State to just two field goals during the final 10 minutes of play.

All 13 Gamecocks dressed out entered the game, including freshman Mohamad Abuarisha and junior Des Curry. It marked the career debuts for both. Curry, a Jacksonville native who played his prep ball at Jacksonville High School, entered a collegiate game for the first time since transferring from Snead State Community College (redshirt in 2015-16).

LAS VEGAS, Nev. – The Gamecocks opened the Global Sports Classic with a 61-38 victory over Cal State Fullerton on Friday.

A stifling defense was key all day as Jax State forced 15 turnovers and held the Titans to more than 40 points below their season-scoring average.

Erik Durham scored a season-high 20 points, and Christian Cunningham pitched in a double-double with 11 points and 12 rebounds.

Durham was 6-for-9 from 3-point range, going 5-for-5 from beyond the arc in the second half, while Cunningham and junior Norbertas Giga each set career highs collecting 12 rebounds apiece. Twenty of the 24 total came on defense as CSF shot 25.6 percent from the field for the day.

Eight minutes into the opening half, the struggling Gamecock offense found a boost in freshman Tyrik Edwards. Trailing 9-6, Derrick Green got things started with a free throw to pull JSU within a pair. His second attempt was missed but hauled in off the board by the Gamecocks and put back by Edwards to even the score. The Edwards stole the Titans’ half-court inbound attempt on the following possession and took it to the basket to spark a 9-0 run.

CSF fought back closing it to a two-point contest with just under a minute to go, but a pair of free throws from Greg Tucker in the final seconds sent the Gamecocks into halftime up 28-24.

Springfield, Mo., product Erik Durham found his groove in the second half as the senior went 5-for-5 from behind the arc. Durham’s second 3-pointer came at the 11:16 mark to give Jax State the first double-digit lead of the game at 40-29.

Nov. 26, 2016 - Thomas & Mack Center

Nov. 29, 2016 - Dunn-Oliver Acadome

LAS VEGAS, Nev. – The Jacksonville State men’s basketball team made it four-straight wins, including two over the last two days, at the Thomas and Mack Center in Las Vegas, Nev., with a 76-63 victory over Northern Arizona on Saturday afternoon.

Sophomore Christian Cunningham neared a double-double performance, finishing with nine boards and a career-high 19 points. The Gamecocks (4-3) were also one point shy of having five different players reach double figures in points for the first time in 26 games as Malcolm Drumwright ended the day with 14, followed by Erik Durham (13) and Jacara Cross (10). Freshman Tyrik Edwards finished with nine points.

Following a missed attempt from outside with 13 minutes to play, Edwards grabbed a rebound and found fellow freshman Cross streaking down the right side for a fast break bucket to even the game at 10-10. Cross set a career high with 10 points Saturday, all of which came in the opening 20 minutes. The lead changed hands five times early before JSU moved, but NAU cut its deficit before heading to the locker room trailing 31-30.

The Gamecocks’ lead reached double figures when Cunningham turned an offensive rebound into a second-chance bucket with 15 minutes remaining.

The native of Albuquerque, N.M., led the second-half charge with 15 points after the break, and finishing one rebound shy of a double-double. JSU finished with 15 second-chance points after winning the rebound battle, 48-33, Norbertas Giga matched Cunningham with a team-best nine boards.

After the Gamecocks took a game-high 17-point lead, the Lumberjacks responded with an 8-0 run forcing Ray Harper to call timeout with just under 10 minutes to play, leading 57-48. NAU came as close as six, but Tucker’s triple at the 3:37 mark pushed the Gamecocks back to a double-digit lead at 69-58.

MONTGOMERY, Ala. – The Gamecocks claimed their fourth win in a row, and third in a row away from Pete Mathews Coliseum, Tuesday night with a 72-69 win over Alabama State at the Dunn-Oliver Acadome.

Junior Norbertas Giga bucketed a career-high 18 points, and senior Erik Durham posted 17 points to register his sixth consecutive game in double digits. Tyrik Edwards scored a career-high 10 points with nine coming in the second half.

Jacksonville State took a one-point lead, 31-30, into the locker room at the half after fighting back from eight points down. The Hornets dominated the boards up until the three-minute mark of the period with seven second-chance points.

Alabama State had reeled in five more rebounds than the Gamecocks, leading the battle 26-21 with an 8-2 advantage on the offensive boards.

The Gamecocks out-rebounded ASU 7-4 in the final three minutes of the half and took its lead with 2:34 left on the clock. Sophomore Andre Statam led firsthalf scorers with seven points, while senior Erik Durham followed up with six points on two 3-pointers.

The beginning of the second half saw Jacksonville State go on a 7-2 run to jump out to a 40-32 lead. It ran its lead to a game-high 10 points at the 15:20 mark to seemingly cement its lead. However, a surge from the Hornets brought the Gamecocks’ lead within one with four minutes left to play.

The two teams traded blows until the final 13 seconds. ASU’s Terrance LeFlore hit a layup to make it a three-point game, and Edwards missed two free throws to give Alabama State the ball with five seconds remaining. Shooter Torloft Thomas was forced to send up a deep 3-pointer from the left side of the key, but the attempt fell short to secure the win for the Gamecocks.

Dec. 4, 2016 - Pete Hanna Center

Dec. 10, 2016 - Fant-Ewing Coliseum

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. – JSU fell to in-state rival Samford on Sunday afternoon at the Pete Hanna Center, despite holding the Bulldogs to 17 points below their home-scoring average.

Even facing a seven-point halftime deficit, JSU (5-4) led or was tied with the Bulldogs for more than 20 minutes of action before Samford (5-4) closed out the game late for an 81-77 win.

Greg Tucker’s 20 points led the charge of four Gamecocks to post double-digit scoring figures. Freshman Ashton Spears had a career-high 14.

The Gamecocks controlled the opening possession and an early lead, but the Bulldogs would even the score at 9-9 with just over 15 minutes to play in the half, following their third-straight three to open the game.

However, SU would use a 16-2 run over the next four minutes and change to take a 36-30 lead. The Bulldogs first lead of the afternoon came at 32-30 on Christen Cunningham’s steal and fastbreak layup.

Despite a 63-percent shooting half, JSU entered the locker room at halftime trailing 45-38, after only managing a single free throw down the stretch.

JSU opened the second stanza on an 8-1 run, courtesy of a couple of baskets from Durham, to even things at 46-all. The Gamecocks regained the lead after breaking the press and finding Cunningham below the bucket for an easy slam to make it 52-50.

Samford slowly increased its advantage back to six, only to see Tucker reel off six straight to make it 67-67 with 4:30 remaining. Unfortunately, the Gamecocks hit another scoring drought toward the end of the second half similar to first.

Down seven, Spears buried a three with 54 ticks remaining to give Jax State one last chance, but the Dogs sealed the deal going 6-for-6 from the line in the final minute.

MONROE, La. – The Jacksonville State men’s basketball team dropped a thriller in overtime at ULM Saturday night, succumbing 88-83 on a late charge from the Warhawks.

Freshman Tyrik Edwards led a tremendous second-half effort that helped push the Gamecocks into their first extra-minutes contest of the season. The guard scored 16 of his 18 points after the first period (four in OT).

Junior Norberts Giga picked up his third double-double of the year, snagging 10 boards and 18 points, while Greg Tucker (17) and Malcolm Drumwright (15) rounded out the night’s double-digit scorers.

The Warhawks held a four-point advantage, 43-39, following a back-and-forth first half. The period saw four ties and the lead change hands nine times.

Jacksonville State lead by as many as six points with junior Malcolm Drumwright scoring a half-best 10 points. Despite his 10 and two more Gamecocks coming up just one point shy of double figures, ULM’s lead was aided by seven points off turnovers and six fast break points.

Three Warhawks registered double-digits in the first 20 minutes as ULM outscored JSU 12-10 in the paint. Travis Munnings (12), Marcus Washington (12) and Sam McDaniel (10) combined to score 34 of ULM’s first 43 points.

ULM appeared to pull away midway through the second half, hitting a 12-5 run that began at the 8:16 mark. The Warhawks pushed their lead to 10 points with 4:36 left to play when Edwards went on a tear. The freshman scored the next seven points in consecutive trips down the court to pull JSU within three.

Drumwright tied the game 72-72 with 54 seconds remaining, and nearly won the game on a last-second jumper. But the ball left the junior’s hands a split second late and the game was sent to overtime.

The Gamecocks struggled in OT as ULM went on a 6-0 run to open the period.

The Warhawks were able to keep the JSU offense out of striking distance for the remainder of the contest with no less than three points dividing the two teams.

Jacksonville State 66, Maryland 92

Jacksonville State 72, Howard 59

MARYLAND, Md. – The JSU men’s basketball team dropped a 92-66 decision to Big Ten powerhouse Maryland on Monday at the XFINITY Center.

Freshman Jacara Cross and senior Greg Tucker led the Gamecocks in scoring with 10 points each, and junior Norbertas Giga snagged a team-high five boards as JSU tied the Terrapins with 28 rebounds.

Cross scored the Gamecocks’ first six points on consecutive baskets and tied his career-high for points in the opening period alone. The freshman was 5-for-5 from the floor and recorded a team-best 10 points in the first half.

Jacksonville State held the lead for just under five minutes in the half and pushed its advantage to a high of three points with the help of a Malcolm Drumwright trey. The game was tied three times and the lead swapped hands four times before Maryland took a permanent lead at the 10:17 mark.

The Terps found a groove halfway through the period, hitting a 17-3 run and holding the Gamecocks scoreless for 10 consecutive points. The half came to a close with Maryland out-scoring JSU 26-12 to close out the period. Jacksonville State trailed 42-29 at the half.

Despite a few Maryland baskets to begin the second half, the Gamecocks climbed back into the game with a 6-0 run. JSU came within 10 points of the Terps with a 5-for-7 performance from the field in the short amount of time that forced a timeout by the home team. Maryland was 0-for-6 from the field during the stretch and didn’t hit a field goal for more than five minutes.

Foul trouble plagued the Gamecocks later as Cross and Giga both had to go to the bench with five fouls. The Terrapins pulled away following the JSU run and key disqualifications, extending its lead to a game-high 21 points just beyond the period’s midway point.

WASHINGTON, D.C. – The Gamecocks picked up a 72-59 win over Howard in the nation’s capital Wednesday night, capping off a three-game road trip.

Four Gamecocks scored in double figures, including senior Erik Durham. The hot-shooting guard posted a team-high 19 points and hit six three-pointers, and freshman guard Tyrik Edwards dished out a team-high and career-best nine assists.

JSU was quick to claim a convincing lead, jumping on the Bison with a 13-2 run. Junior Norbertas Giga scored the first five points on a jumper and a threepointer from the corner. Cross led Jacksonville State with eight points, going 4-for-7 from the field.

At the first media timeout of the opening half, the Gamecocks had a 13-4 advantage and had allowed just one Howard field goal. The defense went on to hold the home team to just 23 first-half points and a 33.3 field goal percentage.

The Bison were limited two eight field goals (two from beyond the arc) in the period.

Jacksonville State took a 35-23 lead into the locker room at the half. The 12-point advantage is the largest lead the Gamecocks have held at the half against a Division I opponent this season. The previous high was 10 points, accomplished in the opener at Tulsa.

Howard gained ground on JSU to open the second period. Through the first 10 minutes, the Bison cut the lead to 48-39. At the second media timeout at 11:45, Howard had out-scored the Gamecocks 16-13. Shortly afterwards, the Bison cut it again to a half-best three points, 51-48. HU starting guard Dalique Mingo scored all 10 of his points during the rally.

After a called timeout by head coach Ray Harper, the Gamecocks found their groove and pulled away in the closing minutes. Giga hit back-to-back layups to help JSU back to a healthy lead. The Gamecocks out-scored Howard 37-36 in the closing period and restored its lead back to double digits.

Jacksonville State 67, USC Upstate 66

Jacksonville State 57, Chattanooga 73

SPARTANBURG, S.C. – Malcolm Drumwright’s last-second three from the top of the key led the Gamecocks to a 67-66 win over USC Upstate on Sunday.

With less than three seconds left, Upstate’s Malik Moore hit a free throw to put his team ahead 66-64. Derrick Green’s inbound pass found Drumwright with his back to the basket. The junior jumped, spun and fired the trey through as the buzzer sounded.

The junior scored a team-best 18 points en route to the Gamecocks’ seventh win of the season. He was one of four to register double-digit points, while Erik Durham and Christian Cunningham each posted a double-double.

Jacksonville State struck first and took a 4-0 lead on baskets from Norbertas Giga. JSU stretched the lead to 9-5 before hitting a 7-0 run. The lead reached double-digits as Jacara Cross pitched in five points during the short span, but Upstate hit a run of its own to cut the lead back to five.

The Spartans made it a 17-12 contest at the 11:02 media timeout thanks to a three-pointer from Josh Cuthbertson, and they were able to claim their first lead of the day just two minutes later. A 6-0 run put Upstate ahead 19-18 with less than five minutes to go in the half, and the two teams traded baskets for the remainder of the period. Upstate led 31-30 at the break.

The Gamecocks and Spartans continued to exchange the lead in the second half until Jacksonville State found another gear. Following the under-12 media timeout, head coach Ray Harper’s defense began to press the Upstate offense.

The press forced back-to-back turnovers and began a 10-0 JSU run.

Jacksonville State tied the game 50-50 before claiming its first lead of the half one minute later. It pushed its lead to a half-best six points at the 8:08 mark and did not trail again until the final 30 seconds.

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. – The Jacksonville State men’s basketball team dropped a 73-57 decision to Chattanooga on Wednesday at McKenzie Arena.

The Gamecocks saw the Mocs pull away with a big second period to close out the schedule’s non-conference half.

Despite the loss, junior Malcolm Drumwright scored a team-high 14 points to record his third double-digit scoring contest in a row. He missed his first doubledouble of the year by just two rebounds, grabbing a season-best eight boards.

The Mocs began the game with a 9-0 run that helped them to a 37-26 advantage by the end of the half. The Chattanooga defense kept pressure on the Gamecocks and held them to 40 percent from the floor in the first half.

Drumwright was limited to just six points in the opening period.

Jacksonville State kept the contest within reach with the help of seven UTC turnovers. Harper’s squad scored eight points on the Mocs’ miscues while scoring three buckets on fast breaks. The Gamecocks out-scored Chattanooga 18-12 in the paint and 3-0 on second-chance points at the break.

Chattanooga widened the gap almost immediately in the second half, hitting a 10-0 run to begin the period. JSU’s first points of the half didn’t come until the 5:10 mark on a Drumwright jumper.

Freshman Ashton Spears capitalized on playing time in the second half, scoring five points and swiping three UTC passes in 13 minutes. Spears’ three steals were a team-high, followed up by two from Drumwright.

Jacksonville State 90, UT Martin 72

Jacksonville State 57, Eastern Illinois 56

MARTIN, Tenn. – Sophomore Christian Cunningham led the Jacksonville State men’s basketball team to a 90-72 victory in season’s first Ohio Valley Conference matchup with his second double-double of the year.

Including Cunningham’s 12 points and 13 rebounds, all five JSU starters registered double-figure points in the contest. Norbertas Giga led the scoring effort with 17 points, while Erik Durham (16), Malcolm Drumwright (15) and Greg Tucker (12) followed.

The Skyhawks (10-6, 0-1) controlled the tip and jumped out to a four-point lead to begin the contest. A 9-5 run interrupted by an Andre Statam jumper and a Durham three turned into a 14-10 UT Martin lead at the 15:41 mark before the Gamecocks (8-7, 1-0) mounted a quick response.

Drumwright strung together a couple of three-pointers and Statam hit a go-ahead layup to put JSU up, 15-14, for the first time. The spark turned into a 17-6 run that saw Jacksonville State go up by a half-best eight points. The Gamecocks took the lead to the half, carrying the advantage for over 15 min.

UT Martin’s Jacolby Mobley kept the Skyhawks in the game with an eight-point effort off the bench. UTM’s leading scorer personally put up all eight of the team’s bench points in the period, pulling within five points of the Gamecocks’ lead at the half, 52-47.

JSU came out of the locker room on fire, hitting a 7-2 run to begin the period.

JSU pushed its lead to double-digits for the first time on the night, 59-49, and forced a Martin timeout following a Greg Tucker dish and Cunningham jam.

Before a UT Martin free throw at 12:27, Jacksonville State commanded a 17-2 run that turned the Gamecocks’ five-point half edge into a 20-point advantage.

JSU led by as much as 23 during the half.

The Skyhawks were able to pull within 15 points in the second period, but that was as close as they would get. The Gamecocks extended the lead back to 21 before a Matthew Butler bucket cut the eventual final to 18 points.

CHARLESTON, Ill. – The Jacksonville State men’s basketball team improved to 2-0 in Ohio Valley Conference play Saturday afternoon with a thrilling 57-56 win over Eastern Illinois at Lantz Arena.

Junior Norbertas Giga earned his fourth double-double of the year with 15 points and 11 rebounds, and sophomore Christian Cunningham snagged a career-high 19 rebounds. Cunningham became the first Gamecocks to reel in 15+ rebounds in a game since Jeremy Watson got 18 at Alabama State in 2014.

Trailing since the first half, Jacksonville State (9-7, 2-0) used a mid-second half run to regain a narrow lead. The Gamecocks led by two points following a Malcolm Drumwright free throw with less than eight seconds remaining. A shooting foul took EIU’s Cornell Johnston to the line with less than a second to go, but the Panthers’ guard missed the backend shot and Cunningham nabbed the rebound.

An uneventful first half came to a close with the Panthers (8-6, 0-1) on top 32-25. The period was delayed by 22 fouls; 11 for each team. The Gamecocks struck first with a good free throw at the 18:27 mark from Erik Durham and led for the majority of the half. JSU stretched its lead to as many as five points, and its longest run was four in a row.

Momentum turned with less than five minutes remaining in the first with a couple of big three-pointers from the Panthers. Joe Kuligoski drained one to tie it up for the first time, 20-20, and Cornell Johnston put Eastern Illinois ahead with a second trey. The Panters ended the half on a three pointer from Demetrius McReynolds that sent the home team to the break with a seven-point lead.

The Gamecocks (9-8, 2-1 OVC) led the Racers (8-8, 2-0 OVC) for just over a minute in the first half and remained in striking distance or tied for the other 17. JSU led by as much as a field goal, 27-25, at the 5:43 mark.

With less than four minutes to go in the half, JSU and Murray State were locked at 30-30. Erik Durham was 3-for-3 from beyond the arc, leading Gamecock scorers with nine points, and Cunningham followed just behind with seven points.

Despite out-scoring the Racers 14-4 in the paint and putting up four more bench points in the first half, MSU pulled out to a 38-35 lead just before the break. Jonathan Stark nailed a three-pointer from nearly the corner of the scorer’s table to guarantee an advantage heading to the locker room.

Murray State pulled away in the second half and extended their lead to a night’s-best 12 points midway through the period. The Racers went on an 11-8 run between the under-12 media timeout and the under-four media.

MSU shot an outstanding 72.2 percent from three-point range. Terrell Miller and Jonathan Stark led the Racers with 28 and 23 points, respectively. Miller was 9-for-15 from three-point range while Stark was 7-for-18 from beyond the arc.

JACKSONVILLE – The Jacksonville State men’s basketball team claimed its third Ohio Valley Conference win of the season Saturday night with a nail-biting 71-68 win over Austin Peay at Pete Mathews Coliseum.

The Gamecocks (10-8, 3-1 OVC) scored three points in the final 57 seconds to break a 68-68 knot. Senior Erik Durham put JSU ahead with a layup, and junior Norbertas Giga hit both chances of a one-and-one to make it a 3-point game.

Junior Malcolm Drumwright recorded a season-high 25 points, while Greg Tucker and Erik Durham scored 13 and 11 points, respectively. JSU was an outstanding 20-for-22 (90.0%) from the free throw line.

Improving to 3-1 in the conference, Jacksonville State is 3-1 to begin OVC play for the first time since the 2005-06 season under then-head coach Mike LaPlante.

Austin Peay (4-13, 0-3 OVC) opened the game on a 9-2 run, putting the Gamecocks in a quick seven-point hole. JSU found a 4-0 run to shorten the Govs’ lead to three, 9-6, before the first media timeout.

The Governors led for more than 15 minutes in the first period, and Jacksonville State would not come within two points of the AP lead until the 4:25 mark.

Erik Durham hit a couple of free throws to tie the game 24-24, and Christian Cunningham hit two more to put the Gamecocks ahead 26-24.

The lead exchanged hands once more before the half as Austin Peay went to the locker room with a 31-30 advantage. Tied 30-30 with 19 seconds to go in the half, AP guard Josh Robinson knocked down the front end of a one-andone to put his team up by one.

The Gamecocks outscored the Govs 41-37 in the second half. It’s Jacksonville State’s third win when trailing at the half, improving to 3-6 in the situation.

Fort Valley State 69, Jacksonville State 81

Jacksonville State 74, Tennessee Tech 59

JACKSONVILLE – Three Gamecocks recorded double-doubles Tuesday night at Pete Mathews Coliseum en route to an 81-69 non-conference win over Fort Valley State.

Senior Erik Durham, junior Malcolm Drumwright and sophomore Christian Cunningham became the first three JSU ballers to all snag double-doubles in a game since February 2009. Durham had 12 points and 14 rebounds, Drumwright picked up 14 points and 12 assists, and Cunningham went off for 17 points and 12 boards. Drumwright set his career high for assists also became the first Gamecock to dish out 10-or-more assists in a game since January 2010.

Including the three mentioned above, senior Greg Tucker (11) and junior Norbertas Giga (12), they became the second group of five to score 10-or-more points in a single game this season.

Durham nearly picked up his double-double in the first half, helping the Gamecocks (11-8, 3-1 OVC) to an eight-point lead, 35-27, at the break. One of the nation’s top three-point shooters, Durham was 3-for-4 from beyond the arc and reeled in eight rebounds.

Tucker hit JSU’s other two three-pointers in the first period and was 1-for-3 from inside the arc for eight first-half points. He bucketed the first three-ball of the game to give the Gamecocks a permanent lead after two minutes.

Jacksonville State’s advantage swelled to 9-4 at the first media timeout. After a scoring drought that saw both teams combine for just four points over a fiveminute span, JSU pushed its lead to a night-high 13 points, 25-12, at 7:13.

The Wildcats (6-9, 4-1 SIAC) nearly doubled their score from the first half with 42 second-half points, but JSU put up 46 to cement the lead. Drumwright and Cunningham registered 12 and 11 points, respectively, in the closing period.

COOKEVILLE, Tenn. – Junior Norbertas Giga led the Jacksonville State men’s basketball team to a physical 74-59 win over Tennessee Tech on Saturday.

The seven-foot Lithuanian scored a career-high 20 points en route to his fifth double-double of the year.

The Gamecocks (12-8, 4-1 OVC) now own their best conference record since the 2004-05 season and find themselves in possession of second place in the OVC East standings behind Belmont (11-4, 5-0 OVC).

The eventual 15-point victory didn’t come without some second-half dramatics, however, as the Golden Eagles (7-13, 3-2 OVC) battled back from an 11-point deficit. Tennessee Tech tied the contest 52-52 at the 7:57 mark after finding a 15-11 run. Up until that point, the game had not been tied since opening tip.

Despite seeing the game knotted at 52, the Gamecocks never surrendered the lead. Following the close call, JSU went on a 10-1 run to help put the game out of reach. Giga, Christian Cunningham and Malcolm Drumwright combined to score 26 points in the final eight minutes to ensure Jacksonville State its largest marginal win over an OVC opponent since defeating UT Martin 77-46 on Feb. 25, 2012.

Jacksonville State out-rebounded Tennessee Tech 48-28 to tie its season-high, and its 18 offensive rebounds are the most against a Division I this year.

The Gamecocks led by as many as 10 points in the first half and took a 33-27 lead into the break. Jacara Cross was responsible for 10 first-half points and scored seven during an eight-minute clip. The freshman accounted for twothirds of the JSU bench’s points in the half.

JSU also out-rebounded the Golden Eagles 27-14 in the first period. Eleven were offensive rebounds, leading to 10 second-chance points for the Gamecocks.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – The Jacksonville State men’s basketball team dropped its first OVC road game in a 77-60 loss at Belmont on Thursday.

The Gamecocks (12-9, 4-2 OVC) saw the game slip away from them in the second half after cutting the Bruins’ lead to eight points after trailing by 11 to begin the period. Belmont (12-4, 6-0 OVC) had two score in double-digits to remain the lone undefeated team in the league.

Freshman Ashton Spears managed 10 points in just 10 minutes of play, hitting all three of JSU’s three-pointers. Junior Norbertas Giga registered his team-best 15th game in double-figures with 10 points, as well. Sophomore Christian Cunningham led the rebounding effort with 12 boards.

Bruins’ forwards Evan Bradds and Amanze Egekeze combined to score 50 of the home team’s 77 points. Both registered double-doubles to become the first duo to accomplish the feat against the Gamecocks this season.

The first half was a back-and-forth battle that saw the score tied twice and the lead change five times. The Gamecocks jumped out to an early lead and held the Bruins scoreless for nearly four minutes. JSU extended its lead to a gamehigh four points, but Belmont began to battle back soon after.

The last tie of the game came at the 8:55 mark in the first half at 16-16. The Bruins hit a 7-0 run to put the Gamecocks down 23-16, then followed that up with a 5-0 run to put Jacksonville State down by 10, 28-18. Belmont took an 11-point lead into the half.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – The Jacksonville State men’s basketball team earned the program’s first ever Ohio Valley Conference win at the Gentry Center on Saturday with an 86-79 victory over Tennessee State.

The Gamecocks (13-9, 5-2 OVC) remained tied for second place in the OVC East with the weekend finale win and improved to 4-1 on the road in league play.

The Tigers (12-8, 4-3 OVC) remained fifth in the East ahead of last-place Eastern Kentucky despite the loss.

Junior Malcolm Drumwright reeled off his second 20-point game of the season, hitting a season-best four three-point baskets. The starting point guard finished 5-for-8 from the field and was 6-for-7 from the free throw line.

The Gamecocks owned the first half, hitting a 7-2 run to begin the contest. The defense held the Tigers scoreless through the first two minutes and didn’t allow a second basket to the home team until JSU had stretched its lead to 9-2.

Drumwright was responsible for 12 first-half points, going an outstanding 4-for5 from beyond the arc. The junior missed tying his career-high for treys by just one in the first period alone.

As a team, Jacksonville State shot 81.8% (9-for-11) from three-point range in the first; this after being held to 3-for-16 from beyond the arc at Belmont. Greg Tucker was 2-for-3, while Ashton Spears, Andre Statam and Erik Durham each pitched in one.

Cunningham totaled 13 points with eight coming in the second period. After grabbing just one rebound in the opening half, the 6-foot-7 forward snagged eight in the last stanza alone and blocked three shots. He helped Jacksonville State retain the lead and push the advantage back to double-digits for the first time since Tennessee State’s 12-4 run.

Jan. 28, 2017 - Pete Mathews Coliseum

JACKSONVILLE – The Jacksonville State men’s basketball team dropped a 57-52 decision to Eastern Kentucky on Thursday at Pete Mathews Coliseum.

Despite out-scoring the Colonels in the second period, and eventually finding a lead, the Gamecocks were unable to complete the comeback.

Sophomore Christian Cunningham recorded his fourth double-double of the year with a combination of 11 points and 15 rebounds, while freshman Jacara Cross snagged double-digit rebounds (12).

The first half got off to a sluggish start that saw just both teams combine for just nine points in the first five minutes. The Colonels (9-14, 2-6 OVC) then went on a scoring fury that saw the Gamecocks (13-10, 5-3 OVC) fall behind by 11.

Asante Gist posted nine points and Nick Mayo eight in the first half for EKU. The Eastern Kentucky defense managed to hold JSU to just 21 first-half points; the lowest-scoring first period for the Gamecocks since managing just 20 points in the opening half at Missouri State in the second game of the year.

Cunningham led Jacksonville State scorers with six points in the first stanza, going 3-for-5 from the field. He also snagged a team-high three rebounds in the period. As a team, JSU was 7-for-24 (29.2%) in the half, while going 0-for-6 from beyond the arc. The Gamecocks were perfect from the stripe, however, hitting 7-of-7 free throws.

JSU tied the game twice and led once in the second at the 18:00 mark, but EKU soon extended its lead back to period-best nine points. Eastern Kentucky’s Nick Mayo totaled a team-high 19 points, scoring 11 down the stretch.

JACKSONVILLE – Despite a season-high 27-point performance from senior Greg Tucker, the Jacksonville State men’s basketball team fell 72-69 to Morehead State Saturday afternoon at Pete Mathews Coliseum.

Tucker was 9-for-14 from the floor against the Eagles, putting up the highest single-game points total since he scored a career-best 36 last season against Morehead State at home. He finished as the only Gamecock to register more than 10 points.

JSU began the second half with a three-point lead, and extended its advantage to a half-best 12 points, 56-44, halfway through the stanza, but MSU slowly began to chip away at the lead. The Eagles tied the contest 61-61 at 6:01 before going ahead by two on the following trip down the court.

Morehead State held the lead for the final 4:41, allowing Jacksonville State within one point twice during the span. Three Eagles registered double-digit points, including DeJuan Marrero who recorded a double-double with 16 points and 10 rebounds.

The first half was a tale of two runs, first coming from the Eagles. Morehead State jumped out to a 25-15 lead on a 15-2 run that began at the 13:14 mark.

The 10-point lead was the largest for the visiting team in the first half.

Following the deflating MSU scoring fury, the Gamecocks answered back with a run of their own. Jacksonville State blasted the Eagles 11-0 over a four-minute span to reclaim the advantage, 26-25, with just over five minutes remaining in the first period.

Tucker scored all 13 of his first-half points in just under seven minutes during a 22-7 Gamecock run. The senior went 5-for-7 from the field, 2-for-3 from threepoint range and hit a free throw to help JSU to a 39-36 lead at the break.

Southeast Missouri 62, Jacksonville State 74

Jacksonville State 72, SIUE 61

Feb. 2, 2017 - Pete Mathews Coliseum

Feb. 4, 2017 - Vadalabene Center

JACKSONVILLE – The Jacksonville State men’s basketball team topped the OVC West’s first-place Southeast Missouri 74-62 on Wednesday to snap a twogame skid. Senior Erik Durham scored a team-high 22 points while sophomore Christian Cunningham pitched in a double-double.

The Gamecocks (14-11, 6-4) had four players score in double-digit points. Senior Greg Tucker had 16 points and freshman Jacara Cross had 12 to go along with Durham’s 22 and Cunningham’s 10.

SEMO (11-14, 6-4 OVC) also had four in double-digits, led by Denzel Mahoney’s 18-point effort. The Redhawks were red-hot from beyond the arc, going 11-of24 from long range. Mahoney was responsible for a team-high four treys.

Jacksonville State took a 38-32 lead into the half. Tucker scored his first 10 points before the intermission, while Cunningham came up short of a double-double before the break by just four rebounds and four points.

The first period saw six lead changes, and a four-point SEMO lead, but the Gamecocks found a 7-2 run that helped them reach a 12-point plateau. While the Redhawks whittled the advantage down to six points before the horn, Cross blocked two big shots and scored a basket with less than five minutes to go to keep the momentum in the home team’s favor.

Cunningham’s double-double was completed with 11 rebounds, and Durham’s 22-point performance is his second +20-point effort this season. The Gamecocks have had at least one player score 20 points or more in their last three of four games.

EDWARDSVILLE, Ill. – A career performance from freshman Tyrik Edrwards led the Jacksonville State men’s basketball team to a 72-61 victory over Southern Illinois University Edwardsville on Saturday.

Edwards bucketed a career-high 19 points against the Cougars, leading the Gamecocks (15-11, 7-4 OVC) to their seventh Ohio Valley Conference win.

Junior Norbertas Giga and sophomore Christian Cunning each pitched in a double-double to go along with Edwards’ strong showing.

After leading most of the first period, SIUE (5-20, 0-11 OVC) could not catch the Gamecocks in the second half. The closest the Cougars came to a lead in the latter half was by a one-point deficit, 34-33, with 14:13 remaining in the game.

Despite seeing a 10-point lead diminish, Edwards came through in the second to carry the Gamecocks to the win. Sixteen of the freshman’s 19 points came in the second, while senior Greg Tucker scored all nine of his points in the period.

The Gamecocks battled back from a seven-point deficit in the first half to take a 29-21 lead into the break. SIUE’s Burak Eslik owned the floor in the game’s opening minutes, scoring seven points in five minutes. He helped put JSU down 15-8 halfway through the period.

Following the under-eight media timeout at the 7:26 mark, the Gamecocks mounted a tremendous 19-6 run that led to their eight-point lead at the intermission. Senior Erik Durham scored all seven of his first-half points during the stretch, and Jacksonville native Des Curry tied his career-high of three points within two minutes of stepping onto the court.

Feb. 9, 2017 - Pete Mathews Coliseum

Feb. 11, 2017 - Pete Mathews Coliseum

JACKSONVILLE – The Jacksonville State men’s basketball team was not able to be the first league opponent to take down first-place Belmont Thursday at Pete Mathews Coliseum, falling 66-53.

Bruins’ senior Evan Bradds posted 21 points en route to keeping Belmont (18-4, 12-0 OVC) the only undefeated team in the Ohio Valley Conference. He was 9-for-12 from the field and grabbed eight rebounds.

Jacksonville State (15-12, 7-5 OVC) had senior Greg Tucker register 14 points and Malcolm Drumwright scored 13, but the Gamecocks were limited to a 23-point second half.

The Gamecocks and Bruins looked as if they were at a track meet to begin the first half. The two teams combined to score 22 points within the first four minutes. The up-tempo play continued throughout the first half as the score reached 34-30 in favor of the Bruins at the break.

Tucker and Christian Cunningham each scored eight points in the period, while Norbertas Giga, Erik Durham and Drumwright each had four. Freshman Jacara Cross chipped in two points off the bench.

Belmont was able to take a lead into the locker room thanks to hot three-point shooting. The visiting team was 7-for-16 (43.8%) from beyond the arc. Starter Taylor Barnette was a half-best 3-for-5 from three-point range.

The Bruins added all the cushion they would need with a six-point run to begin the second half. Bradds was responsible for four of the six points that helped Belmont to a 10-point lead. The Gamecocks answered with a nine-point run, pulling within four points of a tie, but it was not enough to overcome the deficit.

The Bruins pushed their lead to a game-high 14 points in the final period, and Bradds scored 15 of his 21 points during the closing half.

JACKSONVILLE – A 24-point performance from senior Greg Tucker led the Jacksonville State men’s basketball team to a 63-57 victory over Tennessee State Saturday at Pete Mathews Coliseum.

The win completed a two-game season sweep of the Tigers – a feat that the Gamecocks had never accomplished until Saturday. JSU’s 86-79 on Jan. 21 in Nashville was the program’s first Ohio Valley Conference victory at the Gentry Center over TSU. For the second night in a row, Tucker led the Jacksonville State offense in points.

The senior guard put up a team-best 14 points just two days prior against Belmont. It was his third 20-point game of the year.

Tucker began the day with the hot hand and helped Jacksonville State (16-12, 8-5 OVC) control the first half, 26-18. He was 3-for-5 from the field, hit two threepointers and was a perfect 5-for-5 from the charity stripe in the opening half. He led JSU scorers with 13 first-half points.

Despite JSU leading the game for more than 34 minutes, Tennessee State (1511, 6-7 OVC) rallied near the middle of the second half to take a brief lead. At the 6:12 mark, a three-pointer from Armani Chaney put the Tigers ahead 40-39.

The basket capped off an 11-1 TSU run, but the advantage stuck for less than a minute.

Jacksonville State reclaimed the lead, 42-40, with a Malcolm Drumwright trey on the following possession. The Gamecocks soon pushed their lead back to 10 points – just two points shy of their largest lead of the evening.

Drumwright finished the game as the Gamecocks’ second-leading scorer with 14 points. The junior guard registered double-digits after bucketing just five points in the first period. Tyrik Edwards rounded out the double-figure scorers with 10.

Tennessee Tech 79, Jacksonville State 78

Jacksonville State 65, Eastern Kentucky 68

Feb. 18, 2017 - Pete Mathews Coliseum

Feb. 23, 2017 - Paul S. McBrayer Arena

JACKSONVILLE – The Jacksonville State men’s basketball team dropped a 79-78 overtime decision to Tennessee Tech Saturday night at Pete Mathews Coliseum. A timely set of free throws put the Golden Eagles over the top in the final seconds of the five-minute period.

The Gamecocks (16-13, 8-6 OVC) dropped to 0-2 in overtime games this year; their first extra-minutes loss coming Dec. 10 at ULM, 88-83. Tennessee Tech (12-17, 8-6 OVC) had four score in double-figures, including Aleska Jugovic (17) who hit the game-tying and game-winning free throws.

Jacksonville State out-scored the Golden Eagles 39-33 in the second half, and led by seven points with 52 seconds remaining in regulation, but 7-0 TTU run tied the game 68-68 with 19 seconds left and sent it to overtime.

Despite scoring the first points in overtime and holding a two-point lead with just over a minute to go, the Gamecocks allowed Tennessee Tech to tie the game again, 78-78, as the clock hit the two-second mark. A foul under the basket sent Jugovic to the line to hit the eventual game-winner.

Four Gamecocks scored in double-digits with junior Malcolm Drumwright leading the way with 25 points. The guard hit five three-pointers en route to his fifth +20-point game of the season. Senior Greg Tucker followed up with 11 points, while sophomore Andre Statam and freshman Jacara Cross each posted 10.

JSU trailed by as many as 12 points in the first half but managed to battle back to reclaim a four-point lead. The Golden Eagles reached the two-touchdown advantage at the 14:39 mark, but an 11-0 run pulled the Gamecocks within two points of the lead. A couple of Tucker free throws then gave the Gamecocks their first lead since going up two to begin the contest, and Statam stretched it to four with his second three-pointer of the night. Statam scored eight of his 10 points in the first half with the help of two three-balls.

RICHMOND, Ky. – The Jacksonville State men’s basketball team fell 68-65 Thursday night at Eastern Kentucky to drop its second game of the year to the Colonels.

EKU (11-19, 4-11 OVC) rallied from an 11-point deficit in the second half to complete the season sweep of the Gamecocks (16-14, 8-7 OVC). Forward Nick Mayo tallied a team-high 22 points – 16 of which came in the second period.

Gamecocks’ senior Greg Tucker led JSU with 24 points, including a 4-for-10 mark from beyond the arc, while sophomore Christian Cunningham followed up with 14 points. Junior Norbertas Giga rebounded a career-high 13 despite receiving five fouls.

The first half got off to a slow start, not seeing a field goal until three minutes into play. Eastern Kentucky led 2-0 on a couple of free throws, but Jacara Cross tied it 2-2 on a jam to record the Gamecocks’ first point of the game.

Both teams struggled from the field in the first period, combining to score 53 points in the stanza. Jacksonville State led 29-24 at the half after shooting just 29% from field goal range. EKU out-shot the Gamecocks with a 34.8% shooting percentage and knocked down two three-pointers, as opposed to JSU’s one trey, but Jacksonville State was a solid 10-for-13 from the free throw line to control the game at the break.

The Colonels hopped on a 5-0 run to begin the closing half, but the Gamecocks responded with a 15-4 clip to take a 44-33 advantage at the 14:57 mark.

Unfortunately, JSU saw its largest lead of the night diminish in five minutes. The score was tied four more times before EKU took a permanent lead on a Mayo jumper with 1:20 to play. Freshman Ashton Spears fired up a would-be-gametying three at the buzzer, but it fell wide left of the rim.

Jacksonville State 78, Morehead State 78

No. 5 Southeast Missouri 51, No. 4 Jacksonville State 74

MOREHEAD, Ky. – Four Gamecocks scored in double-digits Saturday as the Jacksonville State men’s basketball team closed out the regular season with a 70-61 win over Morehead State on the road.

Senior Greg Tucker led JSU with 17 points, while Norbertas Giga and Erik Durham each registered 15 points. Malcolm Drumwright followed up with 14 points, including a perfect 7-for-7 day at the free-throw line.

Jacksonville State held the lead for more than 27 minutes of the contest, but Morehead State remained on its heels up until the final minute. The Eagles jumped on a five-point run to begin the second half to tie the game 29-29.

Following a couple of early ties to begin the final period, the Gamecocks extended their buffer to as many as seven points, but Morehead hit another run to pull within two with less than two minutes to play. Momentum shifted in JSU’s favor when Drumwright drained a three-pointer as the play clock expired at the 47-second mark. The Eagles were forced to foul following the trey that put the Gamecocks up 66-61. Drumwright and Tucker answered both fouls by hitting all four of their free throws. Drumwright scored 12 of his 14 points in the closing period.

The Gamecocks took a four-point advantage to the locker room at the break, leading 29-25. Tucker had an outstanding half, going 3-for-6 from the field and hitting two three-pointers for 11 points. Giga found himself more than halfway to a double-double with five points and six rebounds.

JSU now awaits the outcomes of Saturday’s remaining league games in order for its seeding in the OVC Championships to be decided. The Ohio Valley Conference Championships take place in Nashville, Tenn., March 1 – 4 at Municipal Auditorium.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – The No. 4 seeded Jacksonville State men’s basketball team earned the program’s third OVC Tournament victory Thursday night at Municipal Auditorium with a 74-51 win over No. 5 seed Southeast Missouri.

Senior Erik Durham picked up his third double-double of the year with a 16-point, 11-rebound performance. Durham reached 600 career points and dished out a career-best seven assists en route to leading the Gamecocks to their first win in the OVC Basketball Championships since 2012 (75-70 vs. Austin Peay, 2/29/12) and first ever quarterfinal victory.

The Gamecocks took a 31-27 lead to the locker room courtesy a hot-shooting half from beyond the arc. JSU nailed six of 12 three-point attempts to account for 18 of their first-half total. Just two field goal attempts in the period came from within the three-point line.

Durham led scorers with 13 first-half points and accounted for half of the treys hit. He was 4-for-5 in field goal attempts and 3-for-3 from long range.

Southeast Missouri shortened the JSU lead to three points, 35-32, following a Denzel Mahoney three-pointer three minutes into the second half, but a scoring frenzy from the Gamecocks quickly widened the gap.

Junior Malcolm Drumwright’s lone three-pointer of the night began the momentum shift, and sophomore Christian Cunningham threw down a monstrous dunk to reinforce the Gamecocks’ dominance. Greg Tucker followed up with another three-pointer to push JSU’s lead to 15 points. Jacksonville State led by a night-best 23 points by the end of the contest.

Junior Norbertas Giga pitched in a double-double with 11 points and 12 rebounds, while Drumwright finished the night with 15 points. Tucker was the fourth Gamecock to score in double-digits Thursday night, posting 12 along with three three-pointers.

No. 4 Jacksonville State 66, No. 2 UT Martin 55

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – The Jacksonville State men’s basketball team earned the program’s first Ohio Valley Conference Championship finals berth Friday by way of a 65-59 semifinals victory over the No. 1 seeded Belmont.

The Gamecocks (19-14) shot an outstanding 58.3% (14-for-24) from the floor and 45.8% (11-for-24) from long range to pull off the monumental win over the Bruins (22-6). Along with guiding Jacksonville State to its second-most wins in Division I history, head coach Ray Harper also picked up his 450th career victory.

Point guard Malcolm Drumwright posted a game-best 21 points, while senior Greg Tucker had 11 points with a career-high tying six assists and junior Norbertas Giga finished with 11 points.

Drumwright helped the Gamecocks to an 11-point lead in the first half. The junior put up 11 points and was a perfect 5-for-5 from the floor in the period.

Tucker and Giga each pitched in seven points to assist in a narrow 31-30 lead at the break.

Jacksonville State trailed by two, 20-18, just past the halfway point, and had been down by as many as five points prior. JSU then hit a 13-point run that led to a half-best 31-20 advantage. Tucker scored four during the double-digit sprint.

Despite tying the game 33-33 on an Amanze Egekeze three-pointer less than three minutes into the second half, the Bruins would cough up the lead and never regain it. Giga put the Gamecocks ahead 35-33 with a jumper on their next trip down the court to regain the lead. JSU never led by less than two points for the remainder of the game.

Jacksonville State moves on to take on the winner of the No. 2 UT Martin/No. 7 Murray State game. Tipoff for the OVC Championship final is set for 7 p.m. on ESPN2.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – The Jacksonville State men’s basketball team earned its first Ohio Valley Conference Championship title, and punched its ticket to the NCAA Tournament, on Saturday with a 66-55 win over UT Martin at Nashville’s Municipal Auditorium.

Junior Malcolm Drumwright was named Tournament MVP and received All-Tournament honors, and senior Greg Tucker was named All-Tournament.

Drumwright totaled 13 points, Tucker contributed 14 and senior Erik Durham knocked down a team-best 17.

On the defensive end, Christian Cunningham pulled down 11 rebounds, and five of junior Norbertas Giga’s six boards came on the defensive glass.

Chosen to finish 12th in the OVC preseason poll, first-year head coach Ray Harper led the Gamecocks to a 10.5-game improvement upon last season’s 8-23 overall finish. It is just the second 20-win season in Jacksonville State’s Division I history, and marks the first time the program will compete in the NCAA Tournament.

The Gamecocks held the Skyhawks to a 35.2 shooting percentage and forced 15 turnovers. Aside from an eight-point run to begin the second half, UT Martin was not allowed within six points of the pace for the remainder of the contest.

Tucker owned the first period with a half-best 14 points on five field goals.

The senior was 5-for-11 from the floor and 2-for-6 from long range to help the Gamecocks to a 36-23 lead at the break. Drumwright and Durham pitched in eight each with a couple of three-pointers, as well.

Despite three lead changes in the first half, the Gamecocks did not trail past the 13:44 mark. Freshman guard Tyrik Edwards kept the momentum in Jacksonville State’s favor with a strong drive and scoop to the basket as time expired in the opening period. The 13-point advantage was the largest of the stanza.

INDIANAPOLIS – The national stage was not too big for No. 15 seed Jacksonville State in its first appearance in the NCAA Tournament.

The OVC champion Gamecocks led for much of the first half before secondseeded Louisville’s relentless pressure began to take its toll as the Cardinals claimed a 78-63 win in the Indianapolis Regional at Bankers Life Fieldhouse.

Junior Norbertas Giga exploded for a career-high 30 points, but it wasn’t enough as Jacksonville State’s season ended with a 20-15 record.

Giga, the 7-foot forward/center from Lithuania whose previous JSU high was 20 points against Tennessee Tech in January, was spectacular in defeat.

Giga poured in his game-high 30 points on 11-of-13 shooting, including making all five of his 3-point attempts. He also led the Gamecocks with nine rebounds.

The sellout crowd of 18,255 and national TV audience witnessed Jacksonville State jump out to a quick 10-2 lead in the game’s five minutes.

The Gamecocks didn’t relinquish their lead until Deng Adel hit a long 3-pointer to put Louisville (25-8) in front 21-19 at the 6:44 mark of the first half. The Cardinals closed the half on a 20-12 run and led 38-31 at intermission.

Louisville led by as much as 17 with just over 12 minutes remaining, but Giga – who had 17 points after halftime – kept Jacksonville State within striking distance with his outside shooting.

Junior Malcolm Drumwright joined Giga in double figures with 12 points while senior added 11 in his final JSU appearance.

Louisville out-rebounded the Gamecocks 36-23.

“The game was determined by our inability to rebound the ball,” Harper said. “It wasn’t because of a lack of effort. Their length and athleticism caused us some problems.”

which signed a second black athlete, Howard Murphy, a year later. In 1961 Murphy earned allconference 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.

THE OHIO VALLEY CONFERENCE

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 nontraditionally black mid-southern institutions to accept a black student. In 1958 Marshall Banks earned athletically-related aid at Morehead,

THE OHIO VALLEY CONFERENCE

2017 Ohio Valley Conf erence Champions

85

The Ohio Valley Conference Men’s and Women’s Basketball Championships presented by VisitMyrtleBeach.com, will be held February 28 thorugh March 3 at the Ford Center in Evansville, Indiana.

It marks the first time the event has been held at the Ford Center, after 23 of the past 24 events were held in Nashville (2002 being the lone year the event was not held in Music City).

The Ford Center, which opened in 2011, is a 10,000-seat arena located in the core of Evansville’s downtown district. The 290,000-square foot facility serves as home of the University of Evansville’s men’s basketball team as well as the Evansville Thunderbolts of the Southern Professional Hockey League. The Ford Center has serves as host to numerous sporting events and concerts on an annual basis.

After first round games were previously played on campus sites, now all eight men’s and all eight women’s teams that qualify for the tournament field gather at a single site for the entire tournament.

In 2011 the bracket shifted from a traditional 1 vs. 8, 2 vs. 7, etc. format to a merit-based format that rewards the top teams during the regular season with byes into the quarterfinals and semifinals. The first round of the men’s tournament will feature the No. 5 seed against the No. 8 seed and the No. 6 seed against the No. 7 seed. The winners of those games will advance to the quarterfinals to face the No. 3 and No. 4 seeds (who received a bye). The winners of those quarterfinal matchups will advance to the semifinals to face the No. 1 and No. 2 seeds (who received a pair of byes).

With a change to divisional play in 2012-13, the East and West divisional winners are guaranteed to be the top two seeds in the men’s tournament, while seeds 3-8 will be determined by Conference record, regardless of division.

The women’s tournament changed formats in 2015, doing away with both divisional play and the merit-based format; the women’s teams now play in a traditional 1 vs. 8, 2 vs. 7, etc. bracket.

The 2018 Championship marks the 55th time the men’s event has been held, making it the fourth oldest Division I championship in the country (behind only the Southern, ACC and SEC).

Future OVC Basketball Tournament dates are March 6-9, 2019 and March 4-7, 2020.

Last season, Jacksonville State claimed its first OVC Championship and advanced to the NCAA Tournament for the first time in its Division I history.

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 County…the perfect” place to live.
