Diving Into Success

alumni SUCCESS Diving into

Williams moved to Frostproof at the age of 16 with his family from Indiana. He married his high school sweetheart, Amy, and they have three sons. The Williams family has spent more than two decades in the town they proudly call home. Throughout high school and college, Williams worked at a pool supply store. He found that he enjoyed the work and liked being able to spend his time outdoors. Blue Thumb Pool Care started out just doing standard pool care, but Williams soon obtained his contractor’s license, allowing him to add pool remodeling to his menu of services. The company stays busy servicing East Polk County, mainly focusing on Winter Haven, Lake Wales, Babson Park and Frostproof.

A member of the golf team during his time at Webber, Williams earned a marketing degree, which was a great benefit to him when the time came to start his own company. With the rise of social media in the past 15 years, the way marketing is conducted has changed some since Williams’ time in school, but the lessons he learned about planning and implementing a marketing campaign were instrumental in helping him successfully launch his pool cleaning service. Williams is quick to credit his success in business to the education he received at Webber International University, saying, “I learned many different things during my time at Webber, though a lot of it didn’t set in until I started my own business.”

Blue Thumb Pool Care is a fullservice pool cleaning company. It is prepared for any task relating to your pool, including pump/motor repairs, replacing filters, installing and maintaining salt systems and heaters, and taking care of repairs and remodels.

Williams works hard to ensure that his company is thriving in order to provide for his family. Children are our future, and Williams shares what he hopes his children are learning from the example he sets in business, “The more hard work you put into it, the more successful you can be. You can be anything you want to be, really, if you just put your mind to it and work toward it.” w WEBBER INTERNATIONAL UNIVERSITY is proud to have produced a number of graduates who have gone on to become successful business leaders and members of their communities. Michael Williams is a prime example of the stellar grads who come out of Webber every year. The young entrepreneur started at Webber International University in 2000 and graduated in 2004. Williams then went on to start his own business, Blue Thumb Pool Care, in Frostproof, Florida, in 2008.

“The overall impact that this project will have on our university and student-athletes is going to be incredible, and we are really looking forward to seeing how this blossoms,” Webber Director of Athletics Darren Richie said before its inaugural use.

The new field hosts football, men’s and women’s soccer, and lacrosse. It is located in the heart of Webber’s athletic facilities, next to the Sabbagh Athletic Center and the Nancy Nichols Softball Field.

warrior Weddings by MARY TOOTHMAN

Kyle & Julianne Dougherty Calcote “Webber brought the two of us together”

Kyle Calcote and Julianne Dougherty were married on March 18, 2016.

“We got married at Cypress Grove Estate House in Orlando, Florida, in front of 175 of our closest family and friends,” she says. “Our wedding was a rustic theme at a venue on Lake Holden.”

The couple met during their freshman year at Webber in 2008. “Kyle was on the men’s bowling team, and I was on the women’s indoor and beach volleyball team,” Julianne explains.

Kyle and Julianne both graduated in 2012. He graduated with his undergrad degree in hospitality and tourism; she graduated with a sports business management degree.

After earning their undergrad degrees, they both decided to get a master’s degree in international business from Webber. They graduated from the program in 2014.

“Kyle worked for Kegel, and I was the women’s indoor assistant coach for Webber and their head beach volleyball coach. Kyle went on to work for (bowling equipment provider) QubicaAMF while I was the head beach coach at Webber from 2013-2017.”

The couple currently lives in Orlando, and she now works for her alma mater at Timber Creek High School as the girl’s varsity volleyball coach. She also teaches digital information technology, which allows students to become Microsoft office specialists.

“Without Webber, I would have never met the love of my life. Webber brought the two of us together, and so many memories and relationships that will last us a lifetime. We have now been together for 10 years and married for four this coming March.”

Alyssa & Corey Jackson “If it weren’t for Webber, none of it would have happened”

Cupid was after Alyssa Householder and Corey Jackson when they were students at Webber University.

“We met in the cafeteria through mutual friends,” Alyssa says. “Ever since the day we met in the cafe, we would talk every single day and hang out as much as possible — which led us to where we are now: married.”

Even though they each had a lot going on, they still found time for each other. “Corey and I both played sports at Webber. He played football, while I played softball. So we understood our very hectic and stressful schedules, which made it nice to have someone there for support.”

The end of their Webber days came in different years. Corey graduated from Webber in December of 2014; Alyssa graduated in May of 2017.

They were married November 9, 2019.

“We had our wedding at Shabby Chic Barn in Brooksville, Florida, which I highly recommend. We couldn’t have asked for a more beautiful wedding day.”

If it weren’t for Webber, none of it would have happened, she says.

“Webber played a role in our relationship because if we had not both attended the school, we would have never met. The life I have created with my husband all began at Webber — which I am very thankful for.”

Stuart & Brittany Winsby A romance fostered at Webber

Stuart Winsby and his wife, and Brittany (King) Winsby, met through mutual friends.

“I proposed to her shortly after our son was born, when she graduated,” Stuart says. “We were married on November 23 in Saint Cloud. Our wedding is a cherished event, we had friends and family from around the world who were there to share the moment with us. We chose to use all local small business vendors and made sure to add some touches of home to make it truly ours.”

They give credit to their Webber connection for their romance and marriage. “If I had not accepted a scholarship to Webber to play golf, I would have never met my wife,” he says. “Some of our closest friends and even members of our wedding party were friends from Webber.”

sports Changing of the Guard Longtime Baseball Coach Niethammer Passes the Bat to Martin

by MATT COBBLE t THIS SPRING, when the Warrior’s baseball team took to the field, they did so with a new head coach – only the second in the team’s history. Coach Brad Niethammer, who has been with Webber’s baseball program since its inception, officially moved out of his coaching position in order to focus on his duties as Webber’s Assistant Athletic Director. “It’s been a fun ride,” Niethammer says, “but it’s good timing for a change.”

After playing baseball in both high school and college, Nithammer began his coaching career in 1991 at Lake Wales High School. He served as the assistant coach for the varsity team for that season, then took on the role of the junior varsity head coach the following year. He also served as assistant coach at Frostproof High School.

When Neithammer came on board at Webber in 1993, he had the responsibility of building the baseball program from the ground up. “We started that first year with 18 freshmen,” Niethammer recalls. “It was a slower process than I anticipated. The talent in our conference is very good.” He was referring to the Sun Conference, the division of the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) that Webber sports compete in.

“Without scholarships to draw competitive players, it doesn’t matter how good the coaching is.”

Luckily, the Warriors were able to attract talented ball players and began winning more games than they lost. Coach Niethammer ended the 2019 season — his 26th, and final, as coach — with 765 wins, 659 losses, making him (at the time) one of the top 20 winningest coaches in the NAIA. He led the Warriors to a Sun Conference Tournament Championship title in 2018, the NAIA National Championship Opening Round three years in a row (2017 through 2019), and 16 seasons with 30 or more wins, including seven consecutive years from 2013 to 2019.

But Coach Niethammer’s successes were not limited to the baseball diamond. In 2007, he was appointed Webber’s Assistant Athletic Director. He has also served on several committees with both the NAIA and the American Baseball Coaches’ Association (ABCA), including the selection committee that eventually developed the current playoff structure for NAIA teams. He’s also served on the tournament committee for the past five years, and even stepped in to lead the committee last year when the current NAIA-ABCA President was unable to do so.

“With NAIA, you can have a voice if you want to,” Niethammer says. “I wanted to have an impact on the conference.”

So why did Coach Niethammer choose this time to step away from coaching? “A lot of these coaches will keep going for 30, 40 years. But a lot

of young coaches will do a good job, if they’re given the opportunity.”

Any Warriors fans worried about the future of the team should rest assured, however — Associate Head Coach Collin Martin was tapped to step into the Head Coach position for the 2020 season, with Coach Niethammer’s blessing. “I wouldn’t have retired if [Coach Martin] wasn’t taking over,” Niethammer admitted. “There are a lot of areas where we’re alike. We promoted him for that reason.

Coach Martin has worked his way through the Webber baseball program, beginning as a player for the Warriors in the 2005 and 2006 seasons. After graduating, he signed as a free agent with Major League Baseball’s Cleveland Indians, and later, the Frontier League’s Florence Freedom (which, as of the 2020 season, has changed its name to the Florence Y’alls).

Martin began his coaching career as an assistant coach at Winter Haven High School, from 2006 until 2009. He also served as a coach for the collegiate summer baseball Cape Cod League (Cotuit Kettleers in 2009), the independent Frontier League (Florence Freedom in 2007), Florida Southern College (2010), and Polk State College (2011-2014). During Martin’s time at Polk State, the team won three National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA) Suncoast Conference championships, as well as a state title and gained a spot in the NJCAA’s JUCO World Series playoffs.

Then, in the spring of 2015, Martin returned to Webber’s baseball program as an assistant coach, and in 2017 was made the associate head coach.

“Coach Martin definitely has great potential,” Niethammer says. “He’s the guy to take this program to the next level.”

Coach Niethammer isn’t quite done with baseball yet, however. He will continue to serve as Webber’s Director of Baseball Operations. In this role, he is responsible for creating the team’s schedule, making travel arrangements, and other administrative tasks. Niethammer handled most of this work himself during his coaching tenure, but kept these responsibilities even after stepping away from coaching.

“Coach Martin can focus on working with the team for now,” Niethammer added.

Coach Martin says, “I would like to thank [Coach Niethammer] not only for his work in NAIA baseball and here at Webber (which will both continue), but for bringing me back here to Babson Park and allowing me to grow as a coach. Darren Richie and Coach Hammer have entrusted me with a successful program and I am very grateful for all that both of them continue to do for me and our program.”

He has been making the most of this opportunity. So far under Coach Martin, the Warriors have started the 2020 season with 11 wins, 6 losses.

FIELD of Warriors Defend Home Turf for First Time

“We are really excited about the opportunity to play on campus and for the start of our conference schedule,” says Head Coach Kelly Scott.

Although the Webber football team had the honor of Warrior Turf Field’s first use, the multi-purpose facility will also be used for both men’s and women’s soccer, as well as the forthcoming men’s and women’s lacrosse teams.

Previous home games, including the 2019 home opener against Kentucky’s Union College, were played in Winter Haven’s Denison Stadium.

New to NAIA football this year was the NAIA Senior Football Classic, a game played by graduating seniors from member schools as a sort of last send-off before the championship, which was held one week later (December 14 and 21, respectively).

“We are excited to bring this event to NAIA Football,” Austin Bennett, the Senior Football Classic Director said in a statement. “It is a great opportunity to recognize senior football student-athletes as well as provide an opportunity for them to gain exposure to professional football organizations.

One Warrior — defensive back Brandon Bell — was selected to suit up and join the West team. Then Bell, as part of the West team, became the first Senior Football Classic’s winners, defeating the East team 31-28.

Webber’s Defensive Coordinator Eric Potochney said of Bell, “Brandon is a great student and a person of high character. He was a captain and a great leader on our team. Brandon was a key player in our defense having the ability to play multiple positions for us.”

Bell’s record at Webber stands on its own. He was a starter for the team all four years, playing in 33 of the 36 games during his tenure. He racked up a total of 139 tackles (50 this year alone), of which 105 were solo tackles (37 this year), and five career interceptions (three of which were this season).

Finally, two Warriors had performances for the record books.

Davonte Williams, a sophomore running back, set a new school record for receiving yards in a single game. He totalled 213 yards in the October 12 t THE 2019 FOOTBALL SEASON was momentous for the Warriors for a number of reasons. First of all, beginning with the October 5 game against St. Thomas University, the Warriors played their home games on the new multi-purpose Warrior Turf Field. Dreams by MATT COBBLE

contest at Faulkner University, including a 52 yard, game-winning score in the final minute of a dramatic come-frombehind victory for the Warriors. This new record surpassed the previous single game best of 175 yards, set in 2009 by Andre Edwards.

Williams also placed into the top three in two other categories. His total of 612 total receiving yards for the 2019 season put him ahead of the previous number three, Mitch Choquette, with 541 yards back in 2013. The current record is held by Ean Randolph with 713 yards in 2004, followed by Andre Edwards in second with 641 in 2009. Additionally, Williams tied the current third rank of 68 receiving yards per game, originally set by Jamal Rodman in 2009. Andre Edwards holds the top spot in that category, with 91.6 yards per game in 2009, and Ean Randolph remains in second with 71.3 yards per game.

Additionally, Williams was selected a First-Team All-Mid-South Conference player in 2019.

Senior quarterback Brycen Lee also made his own place in the Webber record books. He averaged 203 passing yards per game, giving him the number two slot. This splits two previous back-to-back records, held by Torrance Moise, with 203.4 yards per game in 2009 and 156.9 in 2010. Andrew Carr, previously in third place with 149.4 yards in 2007, is now in fourth place.

Furthermore, Lee’s total passing yards for the season, 1,421, gives him the number three spot behind two records set by Torrance Moise: 1,831 yards in 2009, and 1,726 yards in 2010.

With all of this momentum behind them at the close of the 2019 season, it will be exciting to watch what the Warriors are able to accomplish when they take to the field in 2020.

tTHE NEW WARRIOR TURF FIELD on Webber’s campus has opened some new doors for athletics on campus. In addition to the football and soccer teams having a space to compete on the school grounds, the field has allowed the athletics department to explore bringing new sports to Babson Park. Specifically, Webber has announced that men’s and women’s lacrosse will be taking to the field with Coach Chris Burdick and Coach Destinee Johnson at the helms, respectively. From the GROUND Up Men’s and Women’s

Warrior Lacrosse Taking Shape

“We are pleased to announce the start of lacrosse for both men and women at Webber,” says Webber’s Director of Athletics Mr. Darren Richie. “The addition of lacrosse gives us 23 sports and helps us get closer to our goal of reaching 700 student-athletes. We look forward to developing a very high-caliber and competitive NAIA team.”

“It’s a sport about which we’ve had lots of inquiries, but as a small school how far you have to travel to play is always a consideration,” says Dr. Keith Wade, the university’s president and CEO. “With 27 men’s and 37 women’s lacrosse teams currently in the NAIA (National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics) and many more exploring the possibilities, we feel like there’s finally critical mass for good competition close to home.”

Coach Chris Burdick started at Webber as lacrosse coach and director of lacrosse in August 2019. Burdick has experience coaching lacrosse on both the professional and collegiate level, working for Major League Lacrosse (MLL) and the National Collegiate Athletics Association (NCAA). Across his 28 seasons in the NCAA, Burdick has led his teams to a total of 11 tournaments and 21 conference (regular-season and tournament) championships. Burdick is also the owner of 24 Lacrosse, LLC, a lacrosse player and coach-development company that specializes in team workshops and coaching development.

Burdick is also no stranger to building a lacrosse program from the ground up. He worked as an assistant coach for the University of Tampa, helping to develop their program into a nationally recognized team, making six consecutive NCAA tournament appearances.

Coach Destinee Johnson joined the Webber Athletics staff as the first women’s lacrosse coach in December 2019. Before coming on board at Webber, Johnson served as Head Coach for the Women’s lacrosse team at the University of Dallas for three years, where she coached two First-Team All-Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference (SCAC) selections and had two players named Honorable Mention All-SCAC, the first such achievement for any UD women’s lacrosse player.

Prior to her time at University of Dallas, she served as Assistant Coach at the University of Alabama in Huntsville. There, she recruited and coached three

ALL-Gulf Shore Conference (GSC) players and the GSC Rookie of the Year while the team finished the 2016 season with a 14-4 overall record and was a GSC conference finalist.

Johnson also served as an assistant lacrosse coach at the Pro Lacrosse Camp in Dallas, Texas, beginning in June 2017.

Although the first official game is not expected to take place until Spring 2021, Webber Athletics began recruiting players interested in building the Warrior lacrosse teams for the 2019-2020 school year. Webber followed a similar development cycle with the football team in 2002, recruiting a group of players who, to this day, proudly refer to themselves as “the shed boys” — from the utility shed they used as a locker room in the early days.

Burdick has been travelling around the nation, recruiting players with recruitment and prospect camps for high school and junior college athletes.

Prospective Webber lacrosse players can find more information about these recruitment events at laxwar.com.

Men’s Soccer Team Finishes 2019 Tied With Record

t

The Warriors finished the 2019 season with a record of 9-7, which is tied with 2013 for the record of most wins in a single season. They won their ninth victory playing their first match on the newly completed Warrior Turf Field, rather than the Grass Field where their other home matches were played. The Warriors’ record against Sun Conference opponents was 3-6, the most since 2015.

Additionally, for the first time in three seasons, the Webber Soccer team was able to bring home the Crooked Lake Cup, sweeping rival Warner University 3 games to none in their matches. “To win the cup for the first time since 2016, everything fell into place tonight,” Webber’s Head Men’s Soccer Coach Neil Cockburn said after the win. “I couldn’t be prouder of their collective and individual efforts tonight.”

A large part of the team’s success this season is thanks to the efforts of the defense. Webber had a total of five games where they completely shut out opponents, and ten others where they held the opposing team to only one goal. In Webber’s final victory of the season, goalkeeper Fabricio Verdun managed a career-best nine saves in a single game, despite the match being only his second start of the season.

The All-District Academic Teams, chosen in four divisions (National Collegiate Athletics Association [NCAA] Division I, NCAA Division II, NCAA Division III, and NAIA) recognize student athletes for their performance in the classroom, as well as on the field. Sebbouh, a native of Paris, France, started in all 16 matches for Webber this season, ranking fourth in the team for points with a total of 5, all while maintaining a 3.91 cumulative grade-point average. He was also named to The Sun Conference academic all-conference honors, this time alongside junior Mateo Celaya.

After hitting all of these high-points in the 2019 season, Warriors fans should be excited to see where the team is headed for 2020.

Making Time

This makes her only the second Lady Warrior to qualify for the national championships, and the first since Juline Brice was selected in 2010.

Cross Country Head Coach James Simpson says, “I’m very proud of our junior captain Kendal Clark for qualifying for nationals. This accomplishment is one that hasn’t happened on the women’s side at Webber since 2010, and it was only made possible by hard work that was put in over the summer.”

Originally from Goodyear, Arizona, which is a suburb of Phoenix, Clark did not pursue running until she entered high school. However, she had two older siblings, a brother and sister, who ran cross country in their high school years, which piqued her interest, wanting to follow in their footsteps. Her sister was a senior when Clark joined the team as a freshman, meaning they were on the team at the same time. After her first season, when Clark saw she had a natural talent for running, she increased her training regimen to make herself a serious competitor in the sport.

During her senior year of high school, Clark and her best friend, Jessica Terry, made two decisions: They wanted to play collegiate sports, and they believed that Florida was the place to do it. They contacted several schools, looking for a place where Clark could run cross country, and Terry play volleyball. Webber was one school that responded to both of them, and after they visited the campus, they knew that Webber was their choice.

The 19:30.3 that earned her a spot in the championship was not Clark’s best race time of the season. That came October 19 at the Sand Shark Kendal Clark Becomes First Lady Warrior to Qualify for Nationals Since 2010 by MATT COBBLE t THIS PAST NOVEMBER, junior Kendal Clark was selected to compete in the 40th Annual NAIA Women’s Cross Country National Championships, which were held November 22 at the Fort Vancouver National Historic Site in Vancouver, Washington. She qualified for the national championship with a 14th place finish at the 2019 Sun Conference Championships on November 9, with a time of 19 minutes, 30.3 seconds in the 5 kilometer race. Clark was also named as part of the Second-Team All-Sun Conference.

Invitational, where she finished with a time of 19:00.5. This also became her career best time, and currently ranks second on Webber’s all-time record list behind Brice, who had an 18:07 at the Sun Conference Championships in 2010.

Clark’s other times throughout the 2019 season were 19:46.3 at the Florida State University Invitational (October 11) and 20:41.64 at the ASICS Embry-Riddle Classic (September 21).

At the National Championships, Clark was one of 89 individual runners, alongside 37 teams from across the country. Among some of the best runners in the nation, she finished 282nd overall, with a time of 21:01.8.

Simpson concludes, “I think this was a very great experience for Kendal to grow as an athlete, and we both gained a new found respect for the national meet. I look forward to seeing her grow as an athlete from this experience, and I’m very honored to have been a part of her national championship experience.”

Rather than resting on her laurels of making the National Championships, Clark, a dual sport athlete, instead turned her attention to the spring 2020 semester where she competes as a mid-distance runner for the Webber track & field team.

Coming off a o ON FEBRUARY 28, in The Sun Conference Tournament Semi-Finals, the Webber Warriors Women’s Basketball team accomplished a feat that had not been tackled in four years: they handed a defeat to the No. 1-ranked team in NAIA Division-II — the Southeastern University Fire. STRONG Season Women Warriors Block Southeastern by MATT COBBLE

This also prevented the Fire from advancing to their fifth championship game in a row.

Before facing the Warriors in the semifinals, the Fire had a run of 78 consecutive wins against Sun Conference opponents, stretching back to a loss to Georgia’s Thomas University in February 2016.

The 91-83 Warriors victory came in overtime, after a back and forth game that saw the teams trading the lead, and

staying within a few points of each other for the duration.

Webber’s Head Women’s Basketball Coach Grady Morrell says, “We believed. We got better from day one. That was our motto this year, ‘Get better every day with every play.’ That’s what these girls have done. They are resilient.”

Southeastern’s loss also broke the team’s 25-game winning streak for through the 2019-2020 season, including two previous victories over Webber in the regular season: December 5 (Warriors 48, Fire 97) and February 8 (Warriors 59, Fire 72).

Their victory over the Fire led the Warriors to The Sun Conference Tournament Championship game against No. 3-seeded Johnson & Wales University the following day. Unfortunately, Webber fell a bit short, losing to Johnson & Wales 63-71 and missing out on an automatic bid to the 29th Annual National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) Division-II Women’s Basketball

National Championship

This made Webber’s fifth trip to The Sun Conference Tournament Championship game during Head Coach Grady Morrell’s tenure, and was the Warriors’ first appearance since 2015-16 when Webber advanced to the championship for the fourth season in a row. Webber’s lone TSC Tournament Championship came during the 2012- 13 season, which was Morrell’s second season with the team, resulting in the Warriors’ fourth ever trip to the NAIA Division-II Women’s Basketball Championship.

The Warriors ended the 2019-2020 season with a record of 19-12 (11-7 against Sun Conference opponents), and with two players, juniors Paris Copeland and LeAndra Franklin, both named to the all-tournament team.
