Ed Fulton Seasons at Averett: 18 Hometown: Danville, Va. Education: Florida State University Averett University (1997) Coaching Timeline:
ED FULTON HEAD COACH Ed Fulton has been Averett’s baseball coach since 1996, when he took over a program that had completed only one varsity season. In 17 seasons at Averett, Fulton’s teams have won more than 330 games and a USA South Conference championship Fulton has guided his team to 10 20plus win seasons including four in a row. In 2013, he led his team to a 24-16 record after going 26-18, 22-19 and 25-17 the previous three seasons. Over the past 11 seasons the Cougars have posted a 300-261-1 record under Fulton’s direction, including a 2003 USA South Conference Tournament championship and a 2007 team that went 31-12. The 2003 championship team he built is a far cry from the 10-24 season he endured his first year on the job in 1997. In 2003, Averett finished tied for third in the league with a 6-6 record. However,
Fulton guided his fourth seeded Cougars to five wins in six games en route to his first USA South Conference Tournament Championship and an automatic bid to the NCAA Regional in Hickory, N.C. The Cougars posted a 27-14 overall record that season against one of the toughest schedules in the country. The late season run also lifted Averett to their first top-10 national ranking (seventh) in the program’s history. Fulton’s squad was also considered the top team in the region following the tournament championship. Well versed in all aspects of the game, Fulton’s specialties are no doubt in the areas of hitting and catching. Averett held a team batting average of .322 and averaged 7.5 runs per game in 2003. If you also consider that 6.5 of those runs per game were earned runs, then Fulton’s credibility as a hitting coach becomes very apparent.

1996 Averett University Assistant Coach 1997-Present Averett University Head Coach
Behind the plate, Fulton is arguably one of the best teachers in the nation. He helped develop Greg Stevens into one of the best catchers in the south region and into a current professional ballplayer. In addition to Stevens, Fulton has also coached pitcher Gene Yost, a 20th round selection by the Nationals in 2004, and outfielder Eddie Guessford, as well as countless others, to successful professional careers. Due to his professional background, Fulton has made many contacts with professional players, scouts, coaches and managers. Before bringing the Cougars to national prominence, Fulton spent nine years in the minor leagues, six of those seasons at the AAA level. The St. Louis Cardinals picked him in the 16th round during the 1987 draft. Fulton’s professional career included stints with the Cardinals, Detroit Tigers and Boston Red Sox.

Dr. Tiffany M. Franks Averett University President Dr. Tiffany McKillip Franks became the president of Averett University on July 1, 2008. Through her collaborative, high energy, interpersonal leadership style, Averett has embarked on an exciting voyage of change and growth. The University is a place where big dreams can become bold futures. The University is experiencing record new student enrollment, and is consistently ranked in the Top Tier of Regional Colleges in the South in U.S. News & World Report’s Best Colleges guide. Averett also recently learned that it has been included among Princeton Review’s Best Regional Colleges, that it has been ranked one of Virginia’s top colleges for return on investment by Affordable Colleges Online, and that it has been named one of America’s most military-friendly schools by G.I. Jobs magazine for the fourth consecutive year. In addition, Colleges of Distinction recently announced that Averett has been named a 2013-2014 College of Distinction, “chosen for its continued commitment to the Four Distinctions: Engaged Students, Great Teaching, Vibrant Community, and Successful Outcomes.” With the first-hand knowledge she gained through conversations with constituents, Franks and her leadership team constructed a strategic plan and have embarked on the University’s first comprehensive capital campaign that will grow Averett to becoming a premier higher education leader in Southern Virginia. With 25 years of senior-level administrative experience in higher education that began when she was 23 as the dean of students, Franks’ leadership style and problem-solving expertise have led her through leadership roles in admissions, financial aid, student life, marketing and communications, public relations and fundraising. Before taking the helm at Averett, she served as the executive vice president at Greensboro College in North Carolina. Franks earned her BA from Ohio Dominican University; a master’s of science in education from The Ohio State University; and her doctorate from the University of Pennsylvania in higher education management. Franks sees Averett’s role as a community building one and she currently serves on the board of directors for the A.L. Philpott Manufacturing Extending Partnership, the Future of the Piedmont, the Danville Pittsylvania Chamber of Commerce, The Boys and Girls Club and the Institute for Advanced Learning and Research. Franks is the pastchair of the Smart Beginnings Leadership Council of Danville Pittsylvania County and is a member of the Rotary Club of Danville and the Wednesday Club. She is married to Joe Franks, who recently retired as a long-time high school teacher and head men’s and women’s golf coach at Grimsley High School in Greensboro. Joe still serves as the assistant director of the North Carolina Coaches Association.

USA SOUTH CONFERENCE
2 COLOR, WHITE BG
1 COLOR, WHITE BG
One of the oldest Division III conferences in the nation, the USA South Conference was born as the Dixie Intercollegiate Athletic Conference in 1963 when six institutions with similar philosophies of academics and athletics joined as founding members. Those colleges were Charlotte College (now UNC-Charlotte), College of Charleston (S.C.), Methodist College (now Methodist University), North Carolina Wesleyan College, St. Andrews Presbyterian College and Lynchburg College. The basis for the new athletic conference was that participation would be strictly amateur, and thus no athletically awarded financial aid or athletic scholarships would be awarded. That philosophy still exists today. In February 2003, it was announced that the Dixie Intercollegiate Athletic Conference would change its name to the USA South Athletic Conference. The name change was made official on July 1, 2003, and the first USA South Athletic Conference championships were awarded in the fall of 2003. The Conference was originally affiliated with the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) and remained with that affiliation until 1973. At that time, the NCAA divided into three legislative and competitive divisions, with Division III allowing membership for nonathletic scholarship institutions only. The Dixie joined the NCAA, and in so doing, became one of the first conferences accepted into Division III. Since the inception of Division III, the USA South has been a leader in many areas, and has gained an outstanding regional and national reputation in a number of sports. The Conference sponsored athletic programs for men only until 1981. In that year, the NCAA expanded its sponsorship to include women’s sports, and the Dixie followed that lead by including women’s sports. The Conference now sponsors championships in men’s and women’s cross country, men’s and women’s soccer, women’s volleyball, football, men’s and women’s basketball, baseball, softball, men’s and women’s tennis, golf and women’s lacrosse for a total of 14 sports.

Presently, the Conference features 15 institutions, four in Virginia, five in North Carolina, four in Georgia, one in Tennessee and one in Alabama. Averett University, Covenant College, Ferrum College, Greensboro College, Huntingdon College, LaGrange College, Mary Baldwin College, Maryville College, Meredith College, Piedmont College and William Peace University have joined Methodist and N.C. Wesleyan and make up today’s conference full-time membership. Christopher Newport University competes in football only, while Agnes Scott College competes in women’s lacrosse only. Covenant and Huntingdon join the conference for the 2013-14 academic year.
