Northwestern State Demon Baseball 2020

2020 OUTLOOK A year of roster turnover left the 2020 Northwestern State baseball team in need of nametags. With 18 newcomers and three redshirt freshmen, there is no shortage of unfamiliar faces who will don the Purple and White this season. “There are a lot of new guys, a lot of new faces,” fourth-year head coach Bobby Barbier said. “Our talent level is good as far as the skills we have. I’m very pleased with our recruting, bringing guys in and developing them also. That’s a part that gets overlooked. When guys get here, our assistant coaches and our strength coaches do a good job developing those guys.” That development will be on full display at Brown-Stroud Field early and often in the 2020 season. The Demons open the season with an eight-game homestand, part of a home-heavy schedule that features 35 home games at NSU’s home park, which has undergone another round of upgrades. Included in the 35 home games are visits from Wichita State in the season-opening, three-game series and a final weekend round robin series with Houston and Mercer coming to Natchitoches. “It’s good to get them out at home and let our fans see our new stadium,” Barbier said. “It’s good to play in front of our fans. There are years you build excitement early and then you go on the road for two weeks and it dies. Hopefully we can build it and sustain it, get people out and make it a tough place for everyone to play.” While the Demons have a heavy presence of newcomers, there are returners with whom NSU fans are familiar, especially in the outfield. Senior Tyler Smith, a preseason second-team All-Southland Conference selection, returns after leading Northwestern State with 10 home runs and 36 RBIs as a junior. Included in those 10 home runs was a school single-game-record-tying three home runs in a 10-7 win at nationally ranked Arkansas in April. Smith could find himself in a number of Demon career top 10s following his final season. A Covington High School product, Smith stands 10th in school history in career triples (7) and needs three home runs to move into a tie for 10th place in that category. Smith also is a talented defender who has tallied 22 outfield assists in his first three seasons. “Tyler has grown from the day he stepped on campus,” Barbier said. “He’s matured so much. He’s learned how to give a professional at-bat. He’s always been talented. He knows he’ll be circled in our lineup, and they’re going to pitch around him and try to make him hit their pitch. He’s done a really good job of not allowing them to do that.” Smith and sophomore Jeffrey Elkins both started 49 of the Demons’ 55 games a season ago. As a redshirt freshman, Elkins was Northwestern State’s primary left fielder and ranked third on the team in batting average (.284) and RBIs (32). “Jeff hit in the middle of the lineup basically from the second weekend on,” Barbier said of Elkins, who had a pair of game-winning hits, including a tie-breaking double in the Demons’ 3-1 win against LSU in March. “He’s the ultimate worker. He’s out there early every day. He’s a guy, like Tyler and a lot of our guys, who have a combination of speed and power.” Sophomore infielder In addition to Smith and Elkins, senior Lenni Hilton Brown Kunert and junior Larson Fontenot return after also nsudemons.com // @NSUDemonsBsB

starting at least 19 games a season ago. “We have a litany of guys who have been here, like Larson Fontenot, and then there are guys people don’t know yet, like Kendall Foster, Jacob Farrell, Ryan Zimmerman and Gabe Colaianni, who will be very good players here,” Barbier said. “Some will have to work wihile they wait while others will have opportunities to play early and can captialize on them.” Kunert could see time at a variety of positions in his final season at Northwestern State. Following a slow start to 2019, Kunert recovered to hit .296 with a pair of home runs and 23 RBIs. “Lenni is our Swiss Army knife,” Barbier said. “He can run out to the outfield when we need him, slide into the DH role or play at second or third.” Kunert will be the link between the Northwestern State infield and outfield. Similar to the outfield situation, the Demons return several lettermen who have starting experience on the infield. The most productive of those is sophomore Hilton Brown, who hit .277 with three home runs and 22 RBIs as a freshman while shifting between second and third base. “Hilton, like Jeff, came in as a fresman and stuck after we lost a player, and he did great,” Barbier said. “He hit those freshman blues toward the end, which happens a lot with guys who haven’t played that long before. He’s come back in really great shape and done a really good job for us.” While Brown manned one corner infield spot for much of 2019, junior Peyton Davis has seen plenty of action in his first two seasons at first base. With several spots in the hands of players who have never appeared in a Northwestern State uniform, Davis offers stability at first base. “He had a really good freshman year for us,” Barbier said. “He’s swung the bat well in the spring and is someone you can rely on.” Davis will be joined at first base by senior Hayden Brown, a Murray State College transfer who had one of the Demons’ two four-ormore-hit games a season ago. Barbier said Brown could also see time on the mound and brings “power and stability” to first base. Up the middle, the Demons must replace shortstop Caleb Ricca, a 23rd-round draft pick of the Seattle Mariners in June’s Major League Baseball’s First-Year Player Draft, and Sam Taylor, who flip-flopped with Hilton Brown at second and third base. In their stead, the Demons have several options. At shortstop, Panola College transfer Cam Sibley emerged in preseason practices as the likely starter. He will be pushed by Payne Rodgers, who gained experience in the Demons program as a redshirt in 2019. “One hits lefty (Sibley) and one hits right-handed,” Barbier said. “Both are very talented. Payne is a solid defender. Cam is a talented player who an really run.” Similarly, junior Chaney Dodge and freshman Daunte Stuart offer Barbier and the Demons a couple of choices at second base. Dodge has seen playing time in each of his first two seasons and delivered the game-winning RBI off All-Southland Conference closer Reeves Martin of New Orleans.

BOBBY BARBIER

Head Coach Ninth Season at Northwestern State (Fourth as head coach) Northwestern State, 2006 Entering his fourth season at the helm of his alma mater, Bobby Barbier continues to shape the culture around Northwestern State baseball, keeping the Demons successful on the field and in the classroom while making their mark in the community. One year after engineering the largest single-season turnaround in program history – a jump of 18 wins – the Demons returned to the Southland Conference Tournament and produced a pair of Major League Baseball draftees for the second straight season. Right-handed pitcher Nathan Jones became the first top-five-round draft pick from Northwestern State since Mason Melotakis went in the second round in 2012. Junior shortstop Caleb Ricca then was tabbed by Seattle in the 23rd round, giving the Demons four draftees in the past two seasons. Jones (second team), Ricca (third team) and outfielder Tyler Smith (third team) were named All-Southland Conference in 2019, giving NSU nine all-league players in the first three years of the Barbier era. In 2018, en route to the Demons’ first NCAA Regional appearance since Barbier’s junior season of 2005, the Demons won 18 more games than they had the previous season and captured the first Southland Conference Tournament championship in program history. Northwestern State’s 38 victories were its most since 2005 when it won 41 games. Barbier’s even-keeled leadership style helped mold a roster that had 17 newcomers into a cohesive unit that scored the first NCAA Regional shutout in school history, a 9-0 whitewashing of San Diego State. The 2018 Demons enjoyed both team and individual success. Three Demons earned individual acclaim from both the Southland Conference and the Louisiana Sports Writers Association. Barbier was both organization’s Coach of the Year and earned the Central Region Coach of the Year award from the American Baseball Coaches Association. Catcher/first baseman David Fry was the Southland Conference’s Player of the Year and the LSWA’s Hitter of the Year while right-handed pitcher Jerry Maddox was both the Southland and LSWA Newcomer of the Year. Fry was named a third-team All-American by Collegiate Baseball Magazine, giving Northwestern State its second All-American in three seasons, joining Adam Oller, who earned the honor during Barbier’s term as the Demons’ pitching coach. That role was one Barbier resumed in 2018, and his impact was immediately measurable. In addition to Maddox’ first-team All-Louisiana and second-team All-Southland Conference selections, fellow junior Ridge Heisler was a third-team all-conference selection. Overall, the Demons shaved more than two and a half runs from their ERA, pitching to a 3.41 mark in 2018. That number ranked 18th nationally and was 2.65 lower than the previous season. Following the Demons’ run to the NCAA Corvallis Regional, half of the NSU senior class heard its name called in the Major League Baseball First-Year Player Draft. Fry was a seventh-round selection by the Milwaukee Brewers while center fielder Kwan Adkins, a third-team All-SLC pick, was nabbed by the San Francisco Giants in the 30th round. Three-quarters of the NSU senior class reached professional baseball as pitcher Danny Hlad joined the Windy City Thunderbolts of the Frontier League following the season. During Barbier’s first season, Fry, produced the first 20-double, 10-home run season in school history, earning first-team American Baseball Coaches Association/Rawlnsudemons.com // @NSUDemonsBsB

ings All-South Central Region honors. Before becoming the 12th coach in the more than 100 years of Demon baseball history, Barbier spent two stints as an assistant coach with the Demons. He spent the 2015 and 2016 seasons helping the Demons craft two of the lowest ERAs in recent Northwetern State baseball history. The son of former Nicholls football coach Darren Barbier was an easy choice to succeed Lane Burroughs. In addition to helping guide ace Adam Oller to a pair of All-American selections, Barbier’s tutelage led the Demons staff to a 3.01 ERA that ranked ninth nationally. Barbier directed Oller to a season in which he went 8-1, posted a 1.23 ERA (third-lowest nationally) and earned Southland Conference Pitcher of the Year honors, along with All-American nods from Louisville Slugger/Collegiate Baseball magazine and the American Baseball Coaches Association. In his first season, Barbier 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. He remains second in NSU history in hit by pitches. 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.

TAYLOR DUGAS

Assistant Coach Fourth Season at Northwestern State Alabama, 2012 Three seasons into his Northwestern State tenure, former New York Yankee Taylor Dugas continues to imprint his stamp on the Demons’ offense and outfield. In each of Dugas’ three seasons as NSU’s hitting coach, the Demons have produced an All-Southland Conference selection, including the 2018 Southland Conference Player of the Year David Fry, who also earned All-Louisiana Hitter of the Year honors from the Louisiana Sports Writers Association and was named a third-team All-American by Collegiate Baseball. That success continued in the 2019 season as junior outfielder Tyler Smith earned third-team all-conference honors after slugging 10 home runs and driving in a team-best 36 runs. Smith’s 10 home runs marked the third straight season NSU had a double-figure home run hitter, the longest stretch for the Demons in the BBCOR era. In two seasons working with Dugas, Fry batted .333 with 47 doubles, 22 home runs and 95 RBIs. Fry slugged .598 in his final two seasons as a Demon and produced the only two 20-double, 10-home run seasons in school history. Dugas’ hitters cranked 50 home runs in his second season, the program’s highest total in the eight years of the BBCOR era. The 50 home runs were part of NSU’s 172 extra-base hits, a total that led the Southland Conference. Dugas also tutored Kwan Adkins, who had 77 hits in his senior season, to a third-team All-Southland Conference honor and the San Francisco Giants’ 30thround selection in the 2018 Major League Baseball First-Year Player Draft. Dugas’ defensive teaching helped Tyler Smith tally 12 outfield assists as a sophomore while the NSU outfield collected 24 assists as a unit. In three seasons under Dugas’ defensive tutelage, Smith has recorded 22 outfield assists. While working with the Demons hitters and outfielders in 2017, Dugas helped Fry compile the first 20-double, 10-home run season in program history. Thanks to a season in which he batted .340 and won the team’s triple crown, Fry was named the first-team American Baseball Coaches Association All-South Central Region first baseman and second-team All-Southland Conference and All-Louisiana. As the Demons outfielders coach, Dugas was pivotal in the development of a group of young players that, at times, saw freshmen comprising all three outfield spots. Dugas, a Lafayette native and Teurlings Catholic High product, was a fouryear letterman at Alabama, setting school records for hits (334), singles (235), doubles (67) and triples (18). He was a two-time, eighth-round draft pick (Chicago Cubs, 2011, New York Yankees 2012) and reached the major leagues with the Yankees in 2015. After signing with the Yankees organization in 2012, Dugas played four seasons, twice topping 100 hits. During his professional career, Dugas batted .283 and drew 195 walks while striking out just 171 times. “Taylor’s one of my all-time favorites that I’ve ever coached,” said head coach Bobby Barbier, who mentored Dugas during the latter’s career at Alabama.

NSU A COACHES’ PIPELINE TO SEC

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. Entering the 2018 season, three 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 and was succeeded by Mitch Gaspard, who spent time at both Alabama and Georgia. The three current SEC coaches with Northwestern State ties have combined for a trio of 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. Additionally, former Demons skipper John Cohen is in his third year as the Mississippi State director of athletics, overseeing the department after eight years as the Bulldogs baseball coach.

Northwestern State Demon Baseball 2020

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 student-athletes. 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 University-Corpus 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). Other notable alums from current members include Grammy Award-winning musicians Frank Ocean (New Orleans), Don Henley

and Rodney Crowell (both Stephen F. Austin), and Ronnie Dunn (Abilene Christian), television personality and actress Ellen DeGeneres (New Orleans), current NFL standouts Lardarius Webb (Nicholls State), Terrence McGee (Northwestern State), and Daniel Manning (Abilene Christian), professional golfers Shawn Stefani and Chris Stroud (both Lamar) and Colin Montgomerie (HBU), award-winning filmmaker Richard Linklater (Sam Houston State), American Idol winner Kris Allen (Central Arkansas), NFL Hall of Famer Jackie Harris (Northwestern State), former NFL standouts Bobby Hebert (Northwestern State), Gary Barbaro (Nicholls State), Wilbert Montgomery (Abilene Christian) and Gary Reasons (Northwestern State), former MLB stars Darryl Hamilton (Nicholls State) and Kevin Millar (Lamar), NCAA football coach Charlie Strong (Central Arkansas), actors John Larroquette (New Orleans), Ricardo Chavira (UIW) and Jesse Borrego (UIW), and the late NFL coaching legend O.A. “Bum” Phillips (Lamar and Stephen F. Austin). The Southland sponsors 17 full championship sports, all at the NCAA Division I level. The eight men’s sports include baseball, basketball, cross country, football, golf, tennis, and indoor and outdoor track and field. The women compete for nine championships in basketball, cross country, golf, soccer, softball, tennis, indoor and outdoor track and field, and volleyball. The conference earns automatic qualification to NCAA championships in baseball, men’s and women’s basketball, men’s and women’s cross country, football, men’s and women’s golf, women’s soccer, softball, men’s and women’s tennis, and volleyball. The Southland Bowling League, an affiliated Conference sport, originated in 2015, and four of its members filled out half of the eight-team bracket, with Stephen F. Austin advancing to the national title match.

Northwestern State Demon Baseball 2020 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. In recent years, pitcher Adam Oller (2016 ABCA, Collegiate Baseball) and first baseman/catcher David Fry (2018 Collegiate Baseball) have added to the Demons’ All-American legacy. Three Demons pitchers have earned Freshman All-American honors – Kyle Broughton and Dereck Cloeren in 2005 and 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 31 seasons. In that time, the Demons have accumulated 53 first-team All-Southland Conference selections, eight Coach of the Year awards, five Pitcher of the Year honors, five Player of the Year nods, two Hitter of the Year awardees, nine 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 schoold. 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), 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. In 2016, Oller was one of three Demons drafted (Nick Heath, Daniel Garner) from an NSU team that won its final 10 Southland Conference games of the year, setting a school record for consecutive conference victories, one that remains active entering the 2017 season. Former NSU Academic All-American Bobby Barbier took the reins of his alma mater’s program prior to 2017 and began putting his stamp on the program. A tough 2017 season as a team had its highlights, including Fry’s ABCA First-Team All-South Central Region selection. A year later, Barbier’s charges did what no other Demons team ever accomplished —winning the Southland Conference Tournament championship. NSU swept the event in four straight games behind an MVP performance from Fry and advanced to the Corvallis Regional where it went 1-2, notching the program’s first NCAA Regional shutout, a 9-0 blanking of San Diego State. Fry was named the Southland Conference Player of the Year and All-Louisiana Hitter of the Year while pitcher Jerry Maddox earned Southland and All-Louisiana Newcomer of the Year honors. Barbier picked up Southland and All-Louisiana Coach of the Year acclaim as well as the ABCA Central Region Coach of the Year award. In June, Fry (7th round, Milwaukee) and outfielder Kwan Adkins (30th round, San Francisco) became Major League Baseball draftees.

Northwestern State Demon Baseball 2020

Dr. Chris Maggio

Northwestern State President Chris Maggio is a competitor for all seasons. Northwestern State’s second-year president was an all-sports athlete in high school, a college distance runner at NSU, and a high school football, basketball and track coach. He became a college coach in track and field for the Demons and Lady Demons. He even spent a few years as a high school basketball referee. His zeal for competition makes him a dynamic recruiter and fund raiser for NSU, and his ability to mentor staff members and students combines with his warmth and sincerity to produce a tremendously effective university administrator.

Maggio, 54, is a lifelong resident of Natchitoches and long-time faculty and staff member at Northwestern State. He is the university’s 19th president since its founding in 1884, and the first one who is homegrown, along with the first to be a four-year athletic letterwinner as a Demon competitor. Maggio was named vice president for the student experience at Northwestern State in 2016 after serving as interim vice president for just over a year. He maintained his role as vice president for the student experience while serving as acting president. When the NSU Student Services building openedin 2012, designers had a lovely office location for Maggio on the second floor. He asked instead for the room just inside the front door to the building, not connected to any administrative wing, but envisioned as a conference space. His reasoning: Maggio wanted to see everybody who walked in the door, and providing the ability to immediately engage them or at least be easily accessible for anyone who needed help. As vice president, Maggio led the Dean of Students and the Offices of Admissions, Recruiting, Financial Aid, Student Activities and Organizations, First Year Experience and Leadership Development, Judicial Services, Counseling and Career Services, Student Life, the Student Activities Board, Student Government Association, Student Support Services, and Greek Life. Northwestern State has recorded enrollment increases for the past three years, with record numbers in 2017-18, peaked by 10,578 in the fall 2017 semester. Projected fall 2018 enrollment is over 11,000. Maggio served as assistant vice president of external affairs for university advancement from 2013 until 2015, when he was promoted by Dr. Henderson. He has been a staff member at Northwestern State since 1988, when he joined the track and field coaching staff. After several years as director of admissions and recruiting during record-setting enrollment for NSU, Maggio was selected as director of alumni affairs in 1999, director of alumni and development in 2003, executive director of the NSU Foundation in 2005 and Dean of Students and assistant provost for student success in 2007. During his ca

reer at NSU, Maggio also served as director of enrollment services. Under Maggio’s leadership, the NSU Foundation completed its first capital campaign in Northwestern’s history, exceeding a campaign goal of $18.84 million and raising $31 million to support the university. He has also been a faculty member in the Department of Health and Human Performance for more than 20 years as an instructor, assistant professor and associate professor. Maggio came on board the NSU staff in 1988 as assistant track and field coach, then became head women’s coach a year later. After a very successful five years in that capacity, in 1994 Maggio moved into administration as the fundraiser for NSU Athletics before quickly being snapped up to become the university’s director of admissions and recruiting. Maggio is a 1985 summa cum laude graduate of Northwestern State. He won Gulf Star Conference All-Academic honors in track and field and helped the Demons win the 1985 GSC championship. As a senior, he was elected Mr. NSU by his fellow students. Maggio earned his master’s of education at NSU. He received a doctorate in developmental education from Grambling State University. His parents helped run a family business in Natchitoches. His father, Buddy, was honored as a “Natchitoches Treasure” in 2015 by the City of Natchitoches. As a young boy, Maggio became playmates with future Basketball Hall of Fame member Joe Dumars, whose home was near one of the Maggio’s stores. Dr. Maggio’s wife, Jennifer, was formerly on the NSU staff as Coordinator of Adult Education Initiatives. They have three children, Melanie, Scott, and Emily. Emily is a high school student at St. Mary’s Catholic School of Natchitoches, while her older siblings attend colleges outside of Natchitoches.

Jerry Pierce

Vice President • External Affairs Only a couple of people have served Northwestern State as long as alumnus Jerry Pierce has, and nobody has done so in a more understated manner. In his 54th 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 28th 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. At NSU’s 2018 Homecoming celebration Oct. 27, Pierce will be honored at the N-Club Hall of Fame ceremony, becoming only the second person to receive the “Leadership Award” from the organization of former Northwestern athletic letterwinners. Pierce, an avid tennis player, has been a member of USTA teams that have won more than a dozen state championships, five regional titles and NSU Athletic Council one national championship. Well before moving into the executive position, Pierce had already Jody Biscoe (Chair) Katrice Below served his alma mater, adopted hometown and state with distinction.

He is a past president of the Southland and has served the conference through other offices and committee positions. In 1994, he was named one of Louisiana’s 20 most influential sports figures by the Times-Picayune. Also on the list were New Orleans Saints owner Tom Benson, LSU athletic director Joe Dean and basketball coach Dale Brown, and Grambling football coaching legend Eddie Robinson. His salesmanship and managerial skills were instrumental in convincing Tri-Star Productions to film the 1989 smash hit movie “Steel Magnolias,” with an all-star cast including Julia Roberts, Sally Field and Dylan McDermott in Natchitoches and on the NSU campus. The movie’s impact on tourism in Natchitoches continues to resonate nearly three decades later. Pierce is regarded as one of the most effective legislative liaisons for Louisiana’s higher education system. He has been also a master of ceremonies and speaker who has enlivened hundreds of events since 1965. In addition to his administrative responsibilities, Pierce is a tenured 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.

Northwestern State Demon Baseball 2020

Greg Burke

Director of Athletics The Burke File

AGE: 63 (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 23rd year as director of athletics at Northwestern State, Greg Burke is highly regarded far past the 318 area code due to the work he’s done in his adopted hometown. Burke, a native Ohioan and avid fan of all Cleveland pro sports teams, has been the Demons’ athletics director since Aug. 29, 1996, when his first day included speaking at the annual NSU/ Independence Bowl Kickoff Luncheon. Burke is the longest serving AD at any Louisiana or Southland Conference institution, and is believed to be the longest-serving AD in state history. He has steered NSU athletics to many of its greatest accomplishments while overseeing a program that has fielded championship caliber teams in a dozen of the school’s 14 NCAA Division I sports. Highlights in Burke’s two decades as athletic director include 42 Southland Conference regular-season or tournament championships, 72 All-America and Academic All-America student athletes, and three U.S. Olympic competitors. Twenty-six NSU teams have taken part in NCAA or other postseason competition. All of the school’s athletic facilities have undergone over $8 million in improvements in the past few years, including the following -- $1 million of enhancements to Turpin Stadium’s video board and sound system before the 2017 home opener, a $2 million series of sponsorships for new scoreboards installed in 2008-09 at all NSU athletic venues; the $700,000 Second Century Circle fencing project for athletic venues; a $500,000 softball grandstand project; and a $600,000 upgrade of chairback seating at Turpin Stadium for the 2016 football season. Fundraising initiatives reached new levels in 2018-19. Formalizing the endowed giving program, branded as “Perpetually Purple,” generated an influx of outright and deferred gifts that have the athletics scholarship endowment at more than $2 million. Overall revenue generated by donations and sponsorships has cracked $2 million for the third straight year. Competitively, milestones continue. One of the biggest under Burke: NSU in 2004-05 became the first (and remains the only) Southland Conference member in the league’s five decades of history to sweep football, men’s basketball and baseball championships in the same athletic year. It’s been done only once in Southeastern Conference history, by Alabama in 1933-34, and only four times in Big Ten Conference history, the last time by Michigan State in 1979-80. Those accomplishments have come with one of the more modest athletic budgets in the state and conference. Burke’s management skill and fundraising ability have been pivotal. Burke has a remarkable ability to hire dynamic head coaches. Anchors of the department are current head coaches Mike McConathy, Louisiana’s all-time career basketball wins leader; softball coach Donald Pickett, and track and field coach Mike Heimerman, a trio with nearly 50 combined years on staff at NSU. Three former student-athletes in Burke’s tenure have become NSU head coaches, including third-year baseball coach Bobby Barbier, who guided the Demons to the NCAA Tournament in 2018. Numerous Burke hires had great success at Northwestern State that propelled them to national prominence in subsequent positions. Former baseball coach John Cohen is in his third year as AD at Mississippi State. Over 100 more former NSU student-athletes, coaches and support staff members, most of them here with Burke as AD or assistant AD (1986-92), are working in college athletics at some level. Former Demons are head coaches in the SEC, Big XII, Mountain West Conference, Conference USA, Ohio Valley, SWAC, and Southland Conference. Five others hold Associate AD positions in the SEC, PAC 12, and American Athletic conferences. Former Burke lieutenants Todd Garzarelli (Indiana University Pennsylvania), Jason Horn (Xavier-NO) and Adam Jonson (LSU Alexandria) are now athletics directors, while Kurt Gulbrand is senior associate AD for development at Tennessee and Jodie Libadisos is associate AD for student-athlete enhancement at South Florida. From his first day on the job, Burke has stressed the importance of having a balanced athletic program. Tremendous competitive strides have been made in women’s athletics under his guidance. Since 2013, Lady Demon basketball (2014, 2015), softball (2013, 2014), tennis (2013, 2015) and volleyball (2015) have reached NCAA Tournaments. Burke established a high standard for NSU Athletics in academic achievement and community service. The academic accomplishments are reflected annually in the NCAA’s APR and GSR studies. Community service by NSU student-athletes, coaches and staff more than doubled to over 5,000 hours in 2009-10 and has remained at that level. The Southland Conference created the “Southland Strong” Community Service award to recognize the member institution whose student-athletes compile the most service hours each year. NSU won the inaugural prize in 2014-15 and was second in 2015-16. nsudemons.com // @NSUDemonsBsB

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!” During Feb. 2013, he was presented the “Outstanding Contributions to Amateur Football Award” by the North Louisiana chapter of the National Football Foundation and College Football Hall of Fame. Seven years ago, he was included among 29 winners of the Under Amour AD of the Year Award presented by the National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics (NACDA). Burke was the 2010-11 president of the Football Championship Subdivision Athletics Directors Association. He serves on the NCAA Committee on Academics, a 20-person group replacing the Committee on Academic Performance, which included Burke. He also has served on the NCAA Championships/Sports Management Cabinet. Burke previously served a four-year term on the NCAA Division I Football Issues Committee (1999-2002) and concurrently served a term on the eight-member NCAA FCS Committee that administers the national playoffs. He 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. In 2005, Burke was one of three recipients of the All-America Football Foundation’s Gen. Robert R. Neyland Outstanding Athletic Director Award and that same year, was also tabbed as one of two Natchitoches Parish Cenla Newsmakers of 2005 by the Alexandria Town Talk newspaper’s editorial staff. He received the 2006 “Outstanding Alumni Award” from his alma mater, Marlington High School in Alliance, Ohio, recognizing his community service and professional achievements. At the time, Burke became one of only 21 alumni honored since the award was instituted in 1982. Burke serves on the Natchitoches Convention and Visitors Bureau board, and on the board of directors for the Central Louisiana Community Foundation. He 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 member of the Natchitoches Area Jaycees. He has been involved with the American Heart Association and was 2010 March of Dimes chairman locally. His wife, Susu, is a Natchitoches native, NSU graduate and an elementary teacher. Their 24-year-old daughter, Catherine, graduated from St. Mary’s Catholic School in May of 2012 and will complete her graduate studies at UL Lafayette this December after earning her undergraduate degree from Louisiana Tech. She began a career in public relations and marketing two summers ago.
