2016 OUTLOOK In his first three seasons at the helm of the Northwestern State baseball program, head coach Lane Burroughs has been a bit of a collector. While raising the Demons’ winning percentage in each of his first three seasons, Burroughs has positioned Northwestern State for success in 2016 and beyond thanks to a deep pool of talent. “Right now, I know we have more depth than we’ve had since I’ve been here and probably a while before that,” Burroughs said. Nowhere is that depth more apparent - and unexpected - than in the outfield. When June’s Major League Baseball First-Year Player Draft went without a Demon’s name being called, it boosted Northwestern State’s 2016 roster. The somewhat surprising returns of senior Cort Brinson, the team’s Triple Crown winner in 2015, and redshirt junior Nick Heath, who led the Southland Conference in stolen bases, left Burroughs with a surplus of talented outfielders. “That’s good for us,” Burroughs said. “It shows a commitment and a loyalty to our program.” With Brinson possibly moving to first base this season, the Demons likely will deploy an outfield of Kwan Adkins, Heath and Bret Underwood, a 20thround draft pick of the San Francisco Giants in 2014, from left to right. All three possess plus speed and range, leading Burroughs to echo the comments he made a year ago when Underwood was flanked by Brinson and Heath in the season’s first 11 games. “I like our outfield defensively,” Burroughs said. “I would stack them up against anybody in the country. I know I said that last year, but I really have no bones about saying that. Any league, any team, I will stack up our speed and our ability to run down balls and the ability to throw against anybody.” Staying healthy would be a welcome sight for Burroughs, who saw his team lose Underwood to a shoulder injury 11 games into the 2015 season, forcing Burroughs to shuffle his defensive alignment and bating order. Some positives did come from Underwood’s absence as three true freshmen - Adkinds, Cade Jones and Miller Parker - all made their collegiate debuts in right field in 2015. Adkins was the final of the trio to debut, starting the final 12 games of the season. Adkins wasted little time making his mark, homering in his fifth college game.

Nick Heath

Heath started all 54 games in his redshirt sophomore season, swiping 23 bases and moving to the verge of the NSU career top 10 in that category. After starting the season in right field, Heath shifted to center field after Underwood’s injury and projects to stay there in 2016. Underwood was granted a medical redshirt and will return for his senior season. With Brinson returning after being named the 2015 Southland Conference Hitter of the Year and the Southland Conference Baseball Student-Athlete of the Year, it left Burroughs with four potential starters for three outfield positions. To alleviate the potential logjam, Burroughs said Brinson likely will move to first base for his senior season, keeping NSU’s most experienced bat in the lineup. Brinson is one of a likely trio of new starters across the Demons infield, which must replace third baseman Chase Daughdrill, shortstop Joel Atkinson and first baseman Caleb Dugas, all of whom started for the majority of the past two seasons. Burroughs left the fall with a tentative infield of redshirt junior Regan Kaufman at third base, junior Matt Alford at shortstop, returning starter David Fry at second base and Brinson at first. Behind the plate, the Demons welcomed Shelton State College transfer Daniel Garner, who capped the annual Purple-Orange World Series with a series-clinching, walkoff home run to straightaway center field. Garner and redshirt sophomore Kelsey Richard likely will handle the majority of the catching work, but Burroughs said he liked what he saw from freshman Kyle Swanson in the fall. “I was really, really impressed with the strides Kelsey Richard made behind the plate,” Burroughs said. “Having Daniel Garner in our program made Kelsey a lot better. It made both of them better. Kyle Swanson, we could throw him behind the plate and have him catch for us and not miss a beat. He’s got a good left-handed stroke and can really run.” The emergence of outfielder/designated hitter Matt Valdez and infielder Lenni Kurnet during the fall lengthened the Demons lineup as well. Despite some questions about the infield defense, Burroughs expressed confidence in his team’s lineup. “I’m really excited about what our offense is capable of doing,” Burroughs said. “We have a great mix of power and athleticism and speed. I think we’re SLC Championships: 1991 • 1993 • 1994 • 1995 • 1997 1998 • 2001 • 2002 • 2005


Family • Fearlessness going to defend. “ Two-thirds of the Demons’ weekend rotation from 2015 returns in righthanders Adam Oller (6-4, 2.58 ERA) and Jeffrey Stovall (6-4, 4.09). NSU must replace Josh Oller (10-2, 3.80, 97 IP) and hope for continued health from whoever takes the ball alongside Oller and Stovall on the weekends. “Last year was unique in that, from the first weekend to the last, the same three starters didn’t miss a start,” Burroughs said. “I’ve never seen that in 20 years of coaching at this level. That was impressive, but you can’t bank on that happening again. “You know what you’re going to get with Adam. You have to feel good with going with a two-year guy on Friday nights. (Stovall) doesn’t walk people, and (he’s) added a better breaking ball and a couple of miles per hour to his velocity in the fall. He was lights out.” Much like with the position players, Northwestern State has options for its final weekend starter and its midweek starters. “You’ve got Chase Hymel; you’ve got Timmy Winders; you’ve got Evan Tidwell; you’ve got Nathan Jones sitting there,” Burroughs said. “Which one of those guys is going to jump up and take that third spot? That being said, we still need two guys in the midweek as well.” Determining pitching roles is not limited to the starting rotation for Burroughs. NSU must replace closer Brandon Smith, who tied the school single-season record with 10 saves, and setup man Hunter Duvic (2.35 ERA, 19 appearances). Hymel made 19 appearances out of the bullpen but was a 2014 JUCO All-American as a starter. Tidwell was NSU’s main midweek starter in 2015, starting eight games among his 13 appearances. “Jones, Tidwell, Hymel and (Austin) Reich, all of those guys have the ability to close out games for you,” Burroughs

said. “They all have an out pitch. Jones has a plus slider. Hymel has his breaking ball. Reich has the best velocity, just a real hard thrower. Tidwell is just going to fill up (the zone) and sink it. All of those guys could start or close. Those jobs are open, and we’ll see who steps up and grabs them.” However the pitching staff shakes out, it will be tested throughout the season. NSU opens the season with a five-game homestand against Alabama State, the Southwestern Athletic Conference East Division champion, and Sacramento State. The Demons’ schedule features 25 home games and 31 road games, including trips to 2015 College World Series entrant LSU, Super Regional participants Texas A&M and UL Lafayette and a neutral-site meeting with NCAA Tournament team Cal State Bakersfield in a tournament at the University of Arizona. While in Arizona, NSU will face the host Wildcats, Bakersfield and St. Mary’s. Northwestern State also will travel to Southern MIss and Arkansas State for weekend series. “I like putting our guys in situations where if we get to a regional - and that is our goal -you’re going to a place like Arizona,” said Burroughs, whose Demons took two of three games at Notre Dame in May 2015. “If we take care of business and suddenly we’re thrust into a regional situation, it won’t be anything we haven’t seen. We’re going to see some teams from the West Coast who play small ball and try to speed you up. You’re going to have one or two of those teams in a regional. “(Southern Miss and Arkansas State) are tough weekends on the road, but I feel like we need that. Southern Miss is special to me, because all three of my kids were born there. I spent nine years there. My wife is a Southern Miss alum and (USM head coach) Scott Berry is one of my very best friends. I’m excited about going and competing against another quality opponent.”

Family • Fearlessness Lane Burroughs Head Coach Fourth Year at Northwestern State Mississippi College, 1995 @LaneBurroughs23 Deemed a rising star in the college baseball coaching ranks, Lane Burroughs wasted little time in putting the Northwestern State baseball program on the same track. In three years as the Demons skipper, Burroughs has restocked the program from a talent standpoint while piloting it to one of the largest turnaround seasons in Southland Conference history on the field. His first two Northwestern State recruiting classes served notice that Burroughs, a native of Meridian, Miss., would not waste time restoring the shine to one of the Southland’s most tradition-rich programs. With a refurbished base of talent, Burroughs and the 2014 Demons more than doubled their win total from 2013, going from 16 victories to 33 and a third-place finish in the league race. Along the way, Adam Oller earned Louisville Slugger Freshman All-American honors, becoming another recruiting gem unearthed by Burroughs, who spent four seasons (2009-12) as recruiting coordinator at Mississippi State. He has brought Major League Baseball scouts back to Brown-Stroud Field, which helped lead to Bret Underwood becoming a 20th-round draft pick of the San Francisco Giants in 2014. Burroughs has more than lived up to the expectations placed upon him by former Northwestern State baseball coaches, including current Mississippi State head coach and former Demons skipper John Cohen, on whose Bulldogs staff Burroughs worked for four seasons. During his time in Starkville, Burroughs played a pivotal role in building the foundation that led to the Bulldogs’ 2013 national runner-up squad. Burroughs’ and his staff’s efforts earned NSU recognition from Baseball America for its “strong” 2014 recruiting class – the first time the Demons coaches had a full year in the recruiting cycle. Baseball America magazine mentioned the likes of Joel Atkinson, C.J. Webster and John Gault among the two-dozen strong NSU newcomers who should make an impact on the 2014 season, and years to come. Northwestern State was one of only three Southland programs to receive high marks from Baseball America for their 2014 classes. Burroughs spent the 2013 season beginning the rebuilding of a proud program, one that led the Southland Conference in wins since 1990. With an average of nearly 36 victories per season, the Demons captured nine Southland championships in a 14-year span (1991-2005). While adding some late signees to the squad on hand that had struggled through the first two losing seasons since 1990, Burroughs’ first campaign as head man was a tough go with a 16-40 record. The culture was established, but the talent level was simply not sufficient. Burroughs described the first two years of building a program as planting the seeds and watching them grow. Year three is for reaping the harvest, and the Demons did just that in 2015. Junior outfielder Cort Brinson captured the team’s triple crown en route to earning Southland Conference Hitter and Student-Athlete of the Year honors. He was joined on the All-Southland Conference team by third-team picks David Fry and Oller. Behind that effort and Burroughs’ ability to juggle a lineup beset by injuries, Northwestern State raised its winning percentage for the second straight season, jumping from a .559 clip to a .574 rate, and posted 20 Southland Conference victories for the first time since 2010. NSU’s .714 conference winning percentage marked its highest since the 2005 SLC regular-season champions went 22-5 (.815). The junior college-laden group Burroughs brought in prior to 2014 not only restored the Demons’ winning tradition, it also left its mark on the NSU record book. Pitcher Josh Oller became the program’s first 10-game winner in 11 years. NCAA Regionals: 1991 • 1994 • 2005

Shortstop Joel Atkinson left as the school’s single-season leader in hit by pitches (23) and ranked fourth on the career list. Closer Brandon Smith tied the school singleseason saves record with 10 in 2015 and is tied for third in school history with former Minnesota Twins second-round pick Mason Melotakis with 12 saves. Brinson, meanwhile, set the school record with a 29-game hitting streak that encompassed almost two months of the season. Burroughs is no stranger to bringing success to the Northwestern State program. As an assistant, Burroughs has coached eight NCAA Regional tournament teams and helped guide the Demons to the 1998 Southland Conference championship. In his most recent stop before coming back to Natchitoches, Burroughs was a key factor in Mississippi State’s recruiting efforts, which garnered top 25 national ranking in each season he was a Bulldog. In 2013, Mississippi State advanced to the College World Series and surged through its bracket unbeaten to reach the best-of-three

championship finals before falling to UCLA. In Burroughs’ final season in Starkville, State won the 2012 Southeastern Conference Tournament championship and made a second straight NCAA Regional appearance, falling in a nail-biting NCAA Super Regional loss at Florida. During his time at Mississippi State, Burroughs coached 14 Major League Baseball draft picks. Seven went in 2013, including first rounder Hunter Renfroe, a five-tool right fielder who was chosen in the first round with the 13th overall pick. Six Burroughs-coached or recruited players were named All-Americans. Renfroe was the second first-rounder Burroughs helped produce as right-hander Chris Stratton was San Francisco’s first-round pick (20th overall) in 2012. The Bulldogs had 56 All-SEC Academic Honor Roll selections in his time. Before joining Cohen in the rebuilding of a once-proud program at Mississippi State, Burroughs helped Kansas State emerge as a Big 12 Conference contender, coaching under Brad Hill as the Wildcats reached the Big 12 Conference Tournament championship game in 2008. In his lone season at Kansas State, Burroughs coached hitters, outfielders and was in charge of recruiting with 14 players drafted and seven top 10 round selections. During his nine seasons at Southern Mississippi, the Golden Eagles had five top-10round draft picks and produced four major league players, including current Minnesota Twins All-Star Brian Dozier, while winning their first Conference USA title in 2003 and winning 47 games a year later while setting school records for hits, runs and RBIs. Burroughs was on Corky Palmer’s staff at Southern Mississippi from 1999-2007, serving as recruiting coordinator, hitting coach, infield coach and third base coach as the Golden Eagles made their first six NCAA Regional appearances. During Burroughs’ tenure at USM, the Golden Eagles hosted an NCAA Regional for the first time in school history (2003). When he took over at Northwestern State, Burroughs stepped into a post that has been held by some of the finest coaches in college baseball, and the 18-year coaching veteran received ringing endorsements from former Demon skippers Jim Wells, Dave Van Horn, Rob Childress, Cohen and Mitch Gaspard, among others. He worked under Van Horn and Cohen, and with Childress, in 1997-98 at Northwestern, and arrived back in Natchitoches in 2012 after four years alongside Cohen at Mississippi State. NSU is regarded as one of the more remarkable “cradle of coaches” in modern day college baseball history. Wells (an NSU alumnus who was the Demons’ head coach from 1990-94) retired in 2009 as the greatest coach in Alabama history and Gaspard (first an assistant under Wells at NSU in 1993-94) succeeded him at Alabama and has led the Crimson Tide to four NCAA Regional appearances. Van Horn followed Wells in the Demon dugout, and left NSU in December 1997 to take over at Nebraska. He has steered Arkansas to four CWS berths and captured the Division II national championship at Central Missouri State. Childress was Van Horn’s pitching coach at NSU (1995-97) and Nebraska, then took over at Texas A&M and has developed a Top 10-ranked program. Cohen, the Demons’ bench boss from 1998-2001 before Gaspard took the helm, later sparked Kentucky to a Southeastern Conference championship before engineering Mississippi State’s return as a college baseball power. Wells, Van Horn, and Cohen each have won national Coach of the Year honors and all had glowing words to say about the man who took control of one of the Southland Conference’s gilded progams.

“It’s his (Burroughs’) time and he is certainly qualified to do that job,” said Wells, a Northwestern alumnus, at the time Burroughs was hired. “He has SEC experience, has a stable demeanor and is level-headed; he has acquired baseball knowledge, and is well-respected. He specifically has great reputation regionally, which is where Northwestern State will get most of its players. “The bottom line is this - when his name was mentioned to me as a candidate for the Northwestern State job, I just thought to myself ‘yeah, that sounds right,’ ” said Wells, 192-89 with three Southland titles and two NCAA Regional appearances from 1990-94 at NSU, before guiding Alabama to three CWS appearances including a 1997 national runner-up finish, six SEC Tournament crowns and five regular-season championships from 1995-2009. Cohen was effusive in praising his assistant coach. He actively pushed for Burroughs to take over the Demon program. “He has worked hard for this head coaching opportunity and can handle all aspects of that job at Northwestern State,” said Cohen, who went 146-84 from 19982001 as the Demons’ coach, with SLC titles in 1998 and 2001. “He related well to our players. I asked him to step in for me and give a pre-game speech during a tough stretch for us this past year (2012) and he knocked it out of the park to the point that I had him speak several more times during the season. He is that guy that I can envision speaking to the Kiwanis Club and immediately winning over fans and alumni.” “He has a fire in his belly that will help him be successful,” said Childress, who helped Van Horn’s NSU teams win Southland titles in 1995 and 1997, and guided Texas A&M to the 2011 CWS and two more NCAA Super Regionals after his Nebraska pitchers helped Van Horn’s Cornhuskers make CWS appearances in 2001 and 2002. “Lane can 100 percent do that job,” said Gaspard, who led the Demons a 210-138 record and Southland titles in 2002 and 2005. “He is very, very well-respected in baseball circles and he will do things the right way. He is very professional and will represent the program and the school well. He can sit down with anybody from a booster to an administrator to a player and they’re going to walk away saying ‘that’s a classy guy.’” Burroughs and his wife Susan have three children, Parker Grace (14), Camryn Laine (12) and Thomas Jackson (8), who accompanied the team on its trip to Notre Dame in 2015. Burroughs was a catcher and outfielder and a pre-law major at Mississippi College, where he earned an undergraduate degree in 1995. A year later, he received his master’s in social sciences as a graduate assistant coach and he moved to East Mississippi Community College as an assistant coach in 1997 before getting hired at NSU by Van Horn that summer. When Van Horn left for Nebraska, Burroughs steered the NSU program for a few weeks before Cohen arrived in Natchitoches in January 1998. Now he’s at the helm again, locking shields to forge a new and even greater tradition of championship success for Northwestern State baseball.

Family • Fearlessness Bobby Barbier Assistant Coach Fifth Year at Northwestern State (Second since 2009) Northwestern State, 2006 @BobbyBarbier In the first season of his third tour with Northwestern State baseball, Bobby Barbier helped shape one of the strongest pitching staffs in school history. The first-year pitching coach helped the NSU staff post a 3.55 ERA while Josh Oller became the program’s first 10-game winner in 11 years and Brandon Smith tied the program record for single-season saves (10). The overall ERA marked an improvement of more than one run from 2014 and was the lowest mark since 2002 (3.54). Forming successful pitchers stood in opposition to what Barbier did while wearing a Demon uniform. Barbier, the 2006 Southland Conference Scholar Athlete of the Year, played four seasons for the Demons, finishing his career ranked in the top 10 in eight offensive categories. Upon his arrival in Natchitoches in the summer, Barbier began implementing and imparting his pitching system that will debut at Brown-Stroud Field this spring. After spending the 2007 season as a student assistant and the following two seasons as an assistant coach, Barbier joined former NSU head coach Mitch Gaspard’s staff at the University of Alabama, where he spent five season as the Crimson Tide’s third base coach. While at Alabama, Barbier coached five All-Southeastern Conference selections, including Academic All-American Taylor Dugas. Twelve Alabama players were selected in the Major League Baseball First-Year Player Draft during Barbier’s Crimson Tide tenure. Barbier was part of a Crimson Tide coaching staff that led Alabama to four regional appearances from 2010-14, including the Atlanta Regional championship and a berth in the 2010 Clemson Super Regional. Barbier’s responsibilities at Alabama included coaching outfielders, assisting with catchers and infielders, directing camps and scouting and being heavily involved in recruiting. Barbier also was the staff’s academic coordinator. Barbier was a key contributor on the field, as Alabama’s defense set a school record for fielding percentage in 2011. During his first stint as a Demons assistant, Barbier coached NSU infielders and hitters as well as acting as the team’s base running coordinator. Under his tutelage, NSU led the Southland Conference in stolen bases with 99. Barbier also coordinated travel, field mainte-

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

Ammirati was a two-time Southeastern Conference All-Academic selection and earned his bachelor’s degree in communications in 2013.

On the field, Ammirati was a member of the 2012 SEC champion Bulldogs and was named SEC Player of the Week on April 23, 2013. The Mississippi State coaching staff trusted Ammirati to call his own pitches, and he helped steer the Bulldogs staff to a 2.79 ERA and 588 strikeouts as a senior.

Family • Fearlessness Well into its sixth decade of service, the Southland Conference continues to be a model of innovation, stability and consistent achievement as it celebrates the academic and athletic accomplishments of its member institutions and approximately 4,200 studentathletes. Having commemorated its 50th anniversary in 2013, the Southland Conference has transformed itself into a dynamic and respected consortium of 13 member universities in three states. Beginning with a historic meeting of five institutions in Dallas on March 15, 1963, the Southland Conference set on an extraordinary course that has proven successful well into the 21st Century. The successful transformation continues, as the Southland Conference welcomed four additional members in 2013: Abilene Christian University, Houston Baptist University, the University of Incarnate Word in San Antonio, and the University of New Orleans. In addition to its newest members, the Southland also consists of the University of Central Arkansas, Lamar University, McNeese State University, Nicholls State University, Northwestern State University, Sam Houston State University, Southeastern Louisiana University, Stephen F. Austin State University and Texas A&M UniversityCorpus Christi. An original Southland member from 1963-73, Abilene Christian rejoined the league as one of the most decorated athletic programs in NCAA history, and the addition of Houston Baptist, UIW and New Orleans gives the Southland a regular competitive presence in the key metropolitan areas of Houston, San Antonio and New Orleans. Southland cities encompass approximately 14 million people, and six of its television markets rank among the top 100 in the U.S. All told, the membership of the Southland encompasses nearly 140,000 current students and an alumni base of nearly 800,000. Famous alums from current Southland Conference schools include former CBS news anchor Dan Rather (Sam Houston State), NBA executive Joe Dumars (McNeese State), ABC news anchor Robin Roberts (Southeastern Louisiana), Major League Baseball star Wade Miley (Southeastern Louisiana), NBA legend Scottie Pippen (Central Arkansas), and track and field Olympians Kenta Bell (Northwestern State), and Bobby Morrow and Billy Olson (both Abilene Christian).

Fun • Faith DEMON BASEBALL... A HIT SINCE 1912 All-Americans. Conference championships. NCAA Regional appearances. All of the above have been part of the tradition that is Northwestern State baseball, a program that has made its share of headlines and memories in the last eight decades. NSU’s baseball tradition dates to 1912, when the first incarnation of the Louisiana Normal nine won 7 of its 11 games. With the exception of a 18-year gap from 1930-1948, the diamond Demons have written a legacy of success for the better part of a century. Individual accomplishments have blended into team success, creating a program that has enjoyed a run as one of the best in the Southland Conference in the last three decades. Numerous All-Americans have donned the Purple and White, beginning with Danny Turner in 1967 when the Demons competed at the NAIA level. Darryl Woods bridged the gap between the NCAA and NAIA eras, earning All-American honors after belting a school-record 19 home runs. Outfielder Terry Joseph was a two-time Academic All-American (1993, 1995) and ranks 9th in career batting average. Pitcher Reggie Gatewood was named a second-team All-American by the National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association in 1994 after posting an 11-3 record and a 2.14 ERA. Shortstop Ryan Anholt earned third-team All-American honors from the American Baseball Coaches Association in 1998 when he batted .417 with 15 home runs and 71 RBIs in his junior season. Three Demons pitchers have earned Freshman All-American honors – Kyle Broughton and Dereck Cloeren in 2005 and Adam Oller in 2014. One of the most decorated runs in NSU baseball history began with its entrance into the Southland Conference, a league the Demons have called home for the past 27 seasons. In that time, the Demons have accumulated 49 first-team All-Southland Conference selections, seven Coach of the Year awards, four Pitcher of the Year honors, two Hitter of the Year awardees, eight Newcomer or Freshman of the Year winners and one Relief Pitcher of the Year. As a team, the Demons have captured 10 conference championships. Included in that grouping is a run of three straight SLC titles (1993-95) that has been accomplished by just two other Southland school. Perhaps more impressive than the sheer volume of championships is Northwestern State’s three NCAA Regional appearances during their Southland Conference membership. Each time the Demons have advanced to NCAA postseason play, they have done so as an at-large team, speaking to their ability to put together impressive regular seasons. In 1991, coach Jim Wells’ Demons earned the first NCAA Regional berth in school history and were placed in the NCAA South II Regional in Baton Rouge. The Demons fell to eventual national champion LSU, 11-2, and were edged by UL Lafayette, 11-7. Three years later, Wells’ Demons earned another at-large bid and were placed in the Midwest I Regional in Stillwater, Okla. After dropping the opener to perennial national power Cal State Fullerton, 11-3, NSU earned its first NCAA Regional victory, as Gatewood overpowered Illinois State, 8-2. NSU fell to Memphis, 14-9, ending its season with a school-record 45 victories. Wells’ success led him to become the head coach at Alabama, ushering in a flood of NSU coaches who took control of Southeastern Conference programs. Currently, former NSU coaches are head coaches at Arkansas (Dave Van Horn), Alabama (Mitch Gaspard), Mississippi State (John Cohen), Ole Miss (Mike Bianco) and Texas A&M (Rob Childress). The Demons’ decade of dominance continued in 1996 with two wins at eventual national champion LSU. Two years later, NSU notched its sixth Southland title and fourth 40-win season of the 1990s. NSU closed the decade with a 38-21 campaign in 1999. Included in that season were wins against LSU and UCLA. The Demons closed the decade with a .658 winning percentage, which ranked 23rd in the nation. The 2000s brought continued success with a seventh Southland title in 2001. That season, NSU defeated LSU, 10-8, in front of a record crowd of 4,214 screaming Demons fans at Brown-Stroud Field. NSU repeated as Southland champions in 2002, winning 43 games in Gaspard’s first season. The Demons cracked the national top 25 for the first time in school history, reaching No. 23 in the Collegiate Baseball poll. NSU’s 2005 season was simply overpowering, as the Demons racked up 22 Southland wins and won the conference by five games, the largest margin in Southland history. NSU earned the third NCAA Regional trip in school history, traveling to Baton Rouge where it fell to nationally ranked Rice, 7-3, in its opening game before recovering to beat Marist, 4-3. NSU fell to state rival LSU, 12-4, in its next regional game. In 2010, NSU tied its school record for conference wins with 22 and added victories against nationally ranked Southern Mississippi and Texas A&M. Four Demons earned first-team All-Southland Conference honors and the conference named Chad Sheppard its Relief Pitcher of the Year. The next three seasons were uncharacteristically trying for the Demons, who nevertheless had three players drafted in 2012, including second-round pick Mason Melotakis (Minnesota). The hiring of Lane Burroughs, a Mississippi State assistant under Cohen, signaled a return to form for the Demons program. After going 16-40 in his first season, Burroughs engineered a remarkable turnaround, winning 17 more games in his second season. NSU also authored the largest single-season turnaround in Southland Conference history, increasing its conference win total from 5 to 19. The follow-up season included another improvement as NSU bumped its winning percentage from .559 to .574 and saw outfielder Cort Brinson earn Southland Conference Hitter and Student-Athlete of the Year honors.

NSU is a “Cradle of Coaches”

Northwestern State baseball has enjoyed a tremendous run of success in the past three decades, molded by head coaches and assistants who have climbed the ladder to the highest levels of college baseball. In the 2015 season, five of the 14 head coaches in the Southeastern Conference, widely regarded as the toughest conference in college baseball, spent part of their careers on the Demons staff. Additionally, former Demons skipper Jim Wells helped build Alabama into a national power, leading the Crimson Tide to the 1996 College World Series championship game. The five current SEC coaches with Northwestern State ties have combined for four College World Series appearances at their current schools. Van Horn led Nebraska to back-to-back CWS appearances in 2001 and 2002 before taking the Arkansas job between the 2002 and 2003 seasons.

Dr. Jim Henderson

Northwestern State President

He opened his introductory press conference last September playfully asking why the student newspaper, which he edited two decades ago, played the story covering his selection as president-elect on Page 3. Then Dr. Jim Henderson held up the Current Sauce, with a full front page photo and headline commemorating the previous weekend’s landmark Demon football victory over old rival Louisiana Tech, and deadpanned: “they got it right.” The proud alumnus has shown tremendous passion for every aspect of Northwestern State University in his new role. He officially assumed the office Jan. 1 upon the retirement of Dr. Randall J. Webb, now president emeritus after leading NSU since the summer of 1996.

Dr. Darlene Williams in his previous campus leadership role, over the past six years at Bossier Parish Community College. His inclusive, transparent management style blends with a seemingly ever-present persona across the Natchitoches campus and anywhere Demons, or prospective Demons, may be. Henderson spent his first semester as NSU’s leader this spring establishing new bonds within the region, aiming to grow Northwestern State into the leading university in the region. He made reaching out to students and student-athletes a priority, gaining valuable feedback that helped Henderson guide NSU through the statewide threat of serious budget cuts that were finally averted last spring by the state legislature, with Henderson’s active lobbying contributing to the successful and remarkable preservation of current budget levels. Prior to NSU, Henderson served as chancellor of Bossier Parish Community College since 2009. In that time, BPCC expanded enrollment by more than 84 percent and increased annual certificate and degree completions by 90 percent. From 2011-13, BPCC was among the five fastest growing community colleges in the nation with enrollments of between 5,000 and 9,999. Under Henderson’s leadership, the college created market responsive programs in nursing, oil and gas technology, construction management, industrial technology and engineering. Henderson was senior vice president, workforce and economic development/career & technical education for the Louisiana Community & Technical College System from 2005 to 2009. He served as appointing authority and chief executive officer of the LCTCS comprised of eight regional technical colleges serving more than 26,000 students. Under his leadership, the statewide technical college system with 42 individually accredited campuses was transitioned into eight regionally accredited technical colleges. During Henderson’s tenure, LCTCS enrollment grew by 98 percent and helped obtain more than $65 million in grants, appropriations and private funding to enhance workforce development. In partnership with Louisiana Economic Development, Henderson helped create Louisiana FastStart, the nation’s top-ranked state workforce training program. From 2001 to 2005, he was director of administration and director of workforce development for the Louisiana Department of Labor. After graduating from NSU with a journalism degree in 1994, Henderson was in the private sector for 10 years in hotel management. He worked for Mississippi Management, Inc., Kemmons Wilson Companies and Ryco Management, playing a leadership role as each company achieved record growth in profitability. A native of Shreveport, Henderson met his wife Tonia at NSU and they married before both graduated. His mother, Martha, is a former administrator at NSU. His father, Clem, a revered high school coach and principal in Shreveport, passed away in March. NSU’s new president earned a Master of Science in Administration from the University of West Florida and a Doctor of Management from the University of Maryland – University College. The Hendersons have three children, Reagan, Nicholas and Alexander.

An Involved President When Dr. Jim Henderson took the reins at Northwestern State, the new NSU president didn’t stand on precedent. Instead, he set a few of his own. From his back-and-forths with student athletes and the student body as a whole on Twitter (@DrJBHenderson) to his appearance as the color anlayst during Northwestern State’s women’s basketball game against Stephen F. Austin Feb. 5, 2015, Henderson has infused the campuses that comprise Northwestern State University with a new energy that has filtered throughout northwest Louisiana. While pushing a serious message of improving NSU, Henderson has found a way to mix in some levity as well. A week before making his radio debut, Henderson became the first coach/president to be playfully ejected from an NSU Greek basketball game.

Jerry Pierce

Vice President • External Affairs Few people have served Northwestern State as long as alumnus Jerry Pierce has, and nobody has done so in a more understated manner. In his 50th year on the university’s staff, Pierce’s impact on NSU and the city of Natchitoches is indelible. He’s never wanted or gotten top billing, but consistently, he gets results to benefit the university. He is in his 25th year as vice president of external affairs at Northwestern. A significant aspect of his job is oversight of intercollegiate athletics. Pierce works closely with athletic director Greg Burke and all NSU coaches and staff members to keep Northwestern athletics competing at a championship level week after week, month after month and year after year. Pierce is an avid tennis player who has been a member of USTA teams that have won more than a dozen state championships, five regional titles and one national championship. Well before moving into the executive position, Pierce had already served his alma mater, adopted hometown and state with distinction. In his role as vice president, he oversees university operations in athletics, alumni and development, public and media relations and assists NSU Athletic Council President Dr. Jim Henderson in governmental affairs activities. Many of Jody Biscoe (Chair) those duties were his since the 1970s as he worked under five previous Hall Adams presidents as Northwestern advanced from NAIA to NCAA College Division LaCarsha Babers to NCAA Division I athletic status in 1977. Brittany Blackwell A 1961 graduate of Northwestern, Pierce served as trainer/manager Cole Gentry for the Demon football team during his college years, working closely with Baylee Gray (Student) legendary coach Jack Clayton. After earning his journalism degree, Pierce Kelee Grimes went to work for the New Orleans Times Picayune, serving as a reporter Steve Gruesbeck and editor. He was named executive sports editor at the age of 24. Lori LeBlanc In 1965, he chose to raise his two sons in Natchitoches and returned Dr. Jack Pace Dr. Charles Pellegrin to NSU as sports information director. He was promoted to news bureau Christie Price director two years later and assumed additional responsibilities in athletKelee Roddy ics, alumni affairs and other areas through the years. Steve Story He founded, in 1972, the Louisiana Sports Hall of Fame facility in Sabri Thompson (Student) Prather Coliseum on the NSU campus, providing a home for an entity created in 1958. He established annual induction activities that remain in Ex-Officio Members place nearly four decades later, and served as director of the Hall for 19 Greg Burke years until his promotion to vice president in April 1990 forced him to step Carrie Greene aside from the volunteer post. Dustin Eubanks Roxanne Freeman He helped guide Northwestern into three athletic conferences (Trans Dr. Patrice Moulton America, 1979; Gulf Star, 1983; Southland, 1987) and NCAA Division I staDr. Vicki Parrish tus in 1977. He is a past president of the Southland and has served the Jerry Pierce conference through other offices and committee positions. Dr. Randall Webb In 1994, he was named one of Louisiana’s 20 most influential sports figures by the Times-Picayune. Also on the list were New Orleans Saints owner Tom Benson, LSU athletic director Joe Dean and basketball coach Dale Brown, and Grambling football coaching legend Eddie Robinson. His salesmanship and managerial skills were instrumental in convincing Tri-Star Productions to film the 1989 smash hit movie “Steel Magnolias,” with an all-star cast including Julia Roberts, Sally Field and Dylan McDermott in Natchitoches and on the NSU campus. The movie’s impact on tourism in Natchitoches continues to resonate more than two decades later. Pierce is regarded as one of the most effective legislative liaisons for Louisiana’s higher education system. He is also a sought-after dinner speaker and master of ceremonies who has spoken at hundreds of events since 1965. In addition to his administrative responsibilities, Pierce is a member of the Journalism Department faculty. He is the author of one book and editor of two others and has written thousands of editorials, columns, features and other articles for newspapers and magazines. Pierce and his wife Regina, a recently retired teacher, live on Cane River Lake in Natchitoches. He has two sons, Randy and Rick, both NSU graduates; and three grandchildren, twins Evan and Amanda, 24, and Miranda, 13, and two adult stepchildren, Nicholas and Natalie.

Greg Burke

Director of Athletics The Burke File

AGE: 59 (Born Oct. 22, 1956) • HOMETOWN: Alliance, Ohio • HIGH SCHOOL: Marlington ’74 • COLLEGE: Mt. Union ’78 (cum laude) POSTGRADUATE: Kent State ’86 • BEFORE HE WAS A.D.: Sports writer, Alliance (Ohio) Review, 1972-78; director of news and sports information, Hiram (Ohio) College, 1978-85; administrative intern, NSU athletics, 1985-86; director, NSU Athletic Association, 1986-92; director of athletic development, University of Akron, 1992-96; director of athletics, Northwestern State, 1996-present. BIG FAN OF: Cleveland Browns, Indians and Cavaliers • INTERESTS: Working out, watching ESPN and VH1 Classic, family outings.

In his 20th year as director of athletics at Northwestern State, Greg Burke has received national acclaim for the job he’s done in his adopted hometown. Burke has been athletics director at Northwestern since August 29, 1996, when his first day included speaking at the annual NSU/Independence Bowl Kickoff Luncheon. Burke is the longest serving AD at any Louisiana or Southland Conference institution. He has steered NSU athletics to many of its greatest accomplishments while overseeing a program that has fielded championship-caliber teams in all of the school’s NCAA Division I sports. Those achievements have garnered several awards for Burke, including the “Outstanding Contributions to Amateur Football Award” by the north Louisiana chapter of the National Football Foundation and College Football Hall of Fame and the Under Amour AD of the Year Award presented by the National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics (NACDA). He is a past recipient of the All-America Football Foundation’s General Robert R. Neyland Outstanding Athletic Director Award and also was tabbed as one of two Natchitoches Parish Cenla Newsmakers of 2005 by the Alexandria Town Talk newspaper’s editorial staff. He also is a familiar face on the national level by virtue of serving on several NCAA and NACDA committees, including being president of the Football Championship Subdivision Athletics Directors Association and a member of the NACDA Executive Committee. He currently is a member of the NCAA Committee on Academics and has served on the NCAA Championships/Sports Management Cabinet. He previously served on the NCAA Division I Football Issues Committee (1999-2002) and concurrently served a term on the eight-member NCAA FCS Committee that administers the national playoffs. Burke has served as a site supervisor for Football Championship Subdivision playoff games across the nation, and he is regarded as one of the country’s premiere advocates of FCS football. Burke’s 19 years as athletic director include 37 Southland Conference regular-season or tournament championships, 61 All-American and Academic All-American student athletes, and three U.S. Olympic competitors. Twenty NSU teams have taken part in NCAA or WNIT postseason competition. The school’s athletic facilities have undergone more than $9 million in improvements in recent years, including a $2 million replacement project for all scoreboards funded completely through private sponsorships the past four years. The newly established Demons Unlimited Foundation has set annual giving records each of the past two years while embarking on an ambitious initiative to grow the athletic endowment to $5 million under the recently initiated “Perpetually Purple” program. NSU in 2004-05 became the first (and remains the only) Southland Conference member in the league’s five decades of history to sweep football, men’s basketball and baseball championships in the same athletic year. It’s been done only once in Southeastern Conference history, by Alabama in 1933-34, and only four times in Big Ten Conference history, the last time by Michigan State in 1979-80. Burke has displayed a remarkable ability to hire dynamic head coaches. Women’s basketball co-head coaches Brooke and Scott Stoehr have guided NSU to the NCAA Tournament twice in their three-year tenure, co-head coaches Hugh and Stephanie Hernesman led the volleyball program to its first Southland tournament title and NCAA berth, first-year women’s tennis coach Olga Bazhanova led the Lady Demons to the 2015 conference regular-season title and a berth in the tournament championship game while baseball coach Lane Burroughs in his third year has revived that program with a 2015 second-place finish in the league standings. Anchors of the NSU department include current head coaches Mike McConathy, Louisiana’s all-time career basketball wins leader, and 2015 Southland Conference softball coach of the year Donald Pickett, whose team won the conference regular season title for the first time in 15 years and played in its third straight conference tournament championship game. Several other Burke hires had great success at Northwestern State that propelled them to national prominence in subsequent positions. Burke has established a high standard for NSU Athletics in academic achievement and community service. The academic accomplishments are reflected annually in the NCAA’s APR and GSR studies. NSU received the Southland Conference’s inaugural “Southland Strong” Community Service Awards and an NSU student-athlete has been a recipient of the Southland Male or Female Citizenship seven times since the award’s inception eight years ago, including having both winners the past two years. Burke spearheaded the adoption of the slogan “Great Tradition, Brighter Future” for NSU Athletics, and the creation of NSU Athletics “Cornerstones” for student-athletes: “Academic Achievement, Personal Responsibility, Competitive Success … Every Minute, Every Hour, Every Day!” Burke is a past president of the Natchitoches Kiwanis Club and remains active in that civic group. He has also been part of the steering committee for the Natchitoches Christmas Festival and is a former president of the Natchitoches Area Jaycees. He is involved with the American Heart Association, was 2010 March of Dimes chairman locally, and currently is on the Natchitoches Convention and Visitors Bureau Board of Directors. An Ohio native, he received the 2006 “Outstanding Alumni Award” from his alma mater, Marlington High School, recognizing his community service and professional achievements. His wife, Susu, is a Natchitoches native, NSU graduate and an elementary teacher. Their 21-year-old daughter, Catherine, graduated from St. Mary’s High School in May of 2012 and plans to pursue a career in collegiate athletics when she graduates from Louisiana Tech in May 2016.

Before returning to NSU in his current role, Jonson served as the Assistant Athletics Director for Tickets & Operations at the University of Louisiana at Monroe. He previously spent more than two years as Assistant Marketing Director for Ticket Operations at NSU and one year as the Assistant Director of Athletics Media Relations at the University of North Florida. Under Jonson’s watch, the Demons Unlimited Foundation has quickly gained brand recognition after its inception in July of 2013 as NSU Athletics’ 501c3 organization supporting all 14 sports.

In addition to revamping office organization and operational structures, ticket revenue soared by more than 44 percent under Jonson’s watch and restructuring new giving level requirements for premium areas resulted in more than $100,000 of new revenue. Beginning as a student worker in the NSU sports information office, Jonson completed his masters of science in sport administration at NSU with a 4.0 GPA after earning his bachelors of science in business administration as a summa cum laude graduate of NSU in 2007.
