great tradition ... brighter future

2016 preview Year two of Sean Kiracofe’s Northwestern State volleyball tenure should go smoother than the first, as many second acts often do. Armed with a deeper roster, the Lady Demons second-year coach and his squad enters their second season together with a sense of comfort and calm, building on the flashes of success shown during the 2015 season. “There’s a comfort level with all of the returners,” Kiracofe said. “They have a much better idea of what I’m expecting and what should happen in certain situations. Even in the latter part of the conference season, there was still a lot of in-match teaching along the lines of, ‘The next time this comes up, let’s try this,’ or, ‘When that happens, you need to do this.’ Some of that is because we were in a 6-2 in the beginning of the year and shifted into a 5-1. There is a comfort in the 5-1 now, so we can add a couple of new things and expand upon what we were able to do.”

Channing Burleson

Outside Hitters (5) Lauren Agan, 5-11, Sr.-3L Channing Burleson, 5-8, So.-1L Reagan Rogers, 6-0, So.-1L Victoria Harris, 6-1, Fr.-TR Alexis Warren, 5-10, Fr.-HS Typifying Northwestern State’s overall depth, the Lady Demons can run out a trio of experienced outside hitters with a pair of newcomers who bring their own set of talents. In her first season as a full-time starter, Agan paced Northwestern State in kills (248) and total attempts (1,003). She added 182 digs, which ranked fourth on the team. “We dumped a heavy load on Lauren’s shoulders for us last year on offense,” Kiracofe said. “We depended on her on the front row and on the back row. We asked an absolute ton from her. In a lot of cases, she did fantastic and gave us even more than we asked. We expect that consistency and volleyball IQ to increase. She’s going to be better prepared to handle situations where teams game plan and scheme to stop her. She’s going to be able to find ways to score other than just hitting it really hard.” Burleson and Rogers picked up valuable experience in their first collegiate seasons. Burleson started much of the season and enjoyed early success, including a 15-kill, 11-dig double-double in a 3-2 victory against UL Lafayette in the Sept. 1 home opener. Burleson’s 148 kills ranked her second among returners behind Agan. Rogers was the sixth Lady Demon with at least 100 kills (103), saving her best performances for the final two matches of the season. Rogers delivered a season-best 16 kills and hit .538 in a 3-2 win against Incarnate Word on Nov. 12 and followed that with a season-best 15 digs in a 3-2 season-finale loss to Abilene Christian on Nov. 14. Harris is a transfer from the University of Cincinnati who redshirted with the Bearcats before arriving in Natchitoches for the spring semester. Warren brings a bevy of credentials with her from Cypress Ranch High School in suburban Houston. Warren averaged better than three

kills per set and set a school record with 450 digs for the Mustangs. “They provide value for us in different ways whether you’re looking at the L1 or the L2,” Kiracofe said. “Victoria has a big arm and can fill the role of an L1 whereas Alexis is bigger than Channing but has similar ball-control skills. She can also score for us, so she’s not just out there for just ball control and defense. She can provide us a lot of point scoring and help us in passing and defense as well.” Middle Blockers (4) Madeline Drake, 6-1, So.-1L Abby Gardea, 6-0, So.-1L Kourtney Seaton, 6-2, Fr.-HS Brooke Wood, 6-2, Fr.-HS Perhaps no position on the Northwestern State roster was hit as hard by graduation as the middle blocker spot. Both Glynna Johnson, a first-team All-Louisiana selection, and Amanda Kunz, who combined for 392 kills and 199 total blocks, were seniors in 2015. Drake and Gardea each earned some playing time between the senior duo, allowing them to get their feet wet at the collegiate level. “We lost a lot with Glynna, obviously, and Amanda, while she only started for one year, she came in and was everything we could have asked from her,” Kiracofe said. “We’ve got a ton to replace, but we were lucky to replace them with size in Kourtney and Brooke.” Before spending the summer in Thailand as part of an athletic mission trip, Drake flashed the strides she made in her game during the Lady Demons spring season.

2016 NORTHWESTERN STATE VOLLEYBALL MEDIA GUIDE

2016 preview “She’s really doing great at the net offensively,” Kiracofe said. “We expect a lot of offensive production from her.” Gardea saw her playing time increase toward the end of her freshman season and has proven to be one of the most versatile players on the roster. “We can see Abby on both the right side and in the middle,” Kiracofe said. “I love that versatility. She’s going to be able to do a lot of different things for us across the net.” Seaton and Wood find themselves in a similar position to that of Drake and Gardea a season ago -- angling for playing time behind a pair of returning middles. Seaton and Wood both stand 6-2, helping to make up for the loss of Johnson. Despite their height, Kiracofe remained cautious about what to expect from the pair. “They move really well, but they’re inexperienced,” he said. “Which one of them will find some time this year, I really don’t know. It’s going to be a battle between them for which one settles in first. It will probably be a rotation between them as they figure things out.”

consistent, but she can go back there and help us.” Setter (3)

Natalie Jaeger, 5-9, Sr.-3L Kathryn Wristen, 5-9, So.-1L Rayna Yetts, 5-9, Fr.-HS

When Kiracofe shifted his team from a 6-2 offense to a 5-1 alignment, Jaeger took control of the setter’s spot. After splitting time her first two seasons with Emily Johnson, Jaeger’s increased playing time led to a career-best 654 assists and 51 service aces, which ranked sixth nationally. Jaeger enters the season as NSU’s No. 8 all-time assister with 1,640 helpers, putting her on pace to climb as high as sixth. “There was a lot of growth for Natalie when we switched into the 5-1 in terms of running the offense and what she expected from me,” Kiracofe said. “She did a great job of that toward the end of the season, and we had a great spring. We improved on some things and sped some things up.” Wristen ranked third on the team in assists as a freshman, handing Libero (3) out 132 while seeing the majority of her playing time when NSU ran Bailey Martin, 5-6, Sr.-3L the 6-2. In her first collegiate match, Wristen delivered 21 assists and Kylie Spencer, 5-8, Jr.-1L chipped in 10 digs in a 3-1 win against Tennessee State on Aug. 28. Megan Lohmiller, 5-8, Fr.-HS Yetts, a Livonia, Mich., product, joins Jaeger as Upper Midwesterners on the NSU roster and brings an advanced approach for a freshman. In her first full season as Northwestern State’s starting libero, “She is going to have some growing pains like any other freshman Martin moved to within 164 digs of hitting 1,000 for her career while setter,” Kiracofe said. “She’s come in and made both pin hitters better earning second-team Academic All-Southland honors. because of her location. We’re still working on the connec Martin’s 378 digs paced the Lady Demons while her 34 aces ranked tion with the middles, but that’s to be second on the team and 150th nationally. expected. There’s a growth period Spencer, meanwhile, made her collegiate debut in the victory there. By the time she settles against UL Lafayette and proved to be a integral piece of the NSU down she’s going to do some defense. Spencer collected 100 digs and added 11 service aces while good things for us.” appearing in 61 sets. “Bailey did a great job for us,” Kiracofe said. “Kylie came in and really settled things down in serve receive and did a great job at middle back.” The addition of Lohmiller symbolizes the greater depth Northwestern State flaunts across the board this season. Lohmiller could deliver a Spencer-type impact to the 2016 NSU squad. “She brings a lot of energy to the defense,” Kiracofe said. “She flies around and picks up a lot of balls you think will hit the ground. She’s really good defensively and will provide a lot of energy off the bench. “We can work a little bit with her serve receive.

coaches Head Coach

Sean Kiracofe 2nd Season at NSU • 2nd Season Overall Texas Tech (1999) Sean Kiracofe continues to put his stamp on the Northwestern State volleyball program as he enters the second season of his head coaching career. In his first season at NSU, Kiracofe helped mold middle blocker Glynna Johnson into a first-team All-Louisiana selection. Kiracofe’s aggressive mentality paid off as the Lady Demons ranked 11th nationally in aces per set (1.69). Individually, Natalie Jaeger finished the season sixth nationally in aces per set (0.50). Kiracofe came to Northwestern State armed with a reputation of being a technician, a developer of talent and an architect of successful programs. Kiracofe became the 14th head coach in NSU program history on April 7, 2015, after his second stint as an assistant at SMU. Kiracofe brings a decorated resume to the position, having coached at SMU, UNLV, Montana State and UTEP in a career that has spanned more than a decade. “Everyone involved in the interview process was impressed with Sean’s ability to genuinely communicate his vision for a volleyball program that has reached unprecedented heights over the past four to five years,” NSU Director of Athletics Greg Burke said. “He has the volleyball playing and coaching background, recruiting contacts and personal characteristics to sustain, and even build upon, that level of success.” Kiracofe spent his last four-year stint at SMU primarily developing middle blockers and coordinating the team’s blocking strategy and efforts. The results of Kiracofe’s expertise were clear. In 2011, his first season after returning to SMU, Kiracofe tutored Courtney Manning, the NCAA’s leader in blocks (184). Kiracofe produced the top blocking team in the American Athletic Conference in 2014 and the 2011 Conference USA leaders in that category. The 2011 Mustangs ranked 11th nationally in team blocking. A native Texan, Kiracofe helped lead SMU to a 48-14 record in his final two seasons in Dallas and coached a pair of first-team all-conference middle blockers. Under Kiracofe’s direction, SMU’s Caroline Young was a three-time, first-team all-conference selection and an honorable mention All-American. Kiracofe’s experience, which also includes collegiate positions at UNLV, Montana State and UTEP alongside club positions with Tejas Vol

She was a libero and has had extensive experience working with setters. Alicia brings a lot of energy to our program. She’s very personable and has a very welcoming personality.” Despite having been in Natchitoches for less than two months, Roth took control of coordinating August’s Digfest, the largest fundraiser of the year for the NSU volleyball program.

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 Pos.

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.

Dr. Jim Henderson

Northwestern State President

He opened his introductory press conference in September 2014 playfully asking why the student newspaper -- that he edited two decades ago -played the story covering his selection as presidentelect 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.

Marcus Jones higher education, and specifiVice President for Technology, Innovation and Economic Development: cally, at Northwestern. Henderson . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Dr. Darlene Williams includes “athletic prominence” as one of the key planks in the strategic vision for the university’s advancement to become “the nation’s premiere regional institution of higher education.” That bold goal illustrates the dynamic, collaborative leadership style he’s used since his selection as president. He’s already overseen a dramatic burst of enrollment and expansion in his previous campus leadership role, over 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 a significant part of his first year as NSU’s leader establishing new bonds within the region, on the path to grow Northwestern State into the area’s leading university. He immediately made reaching out to students and student-athletes a priority, gaining valuable feedback that helps Henderson redefine the NSU brand. Quickly the university presented the slogan “Dedicated to one goal: yours.” Broad student-oriented initiatives implemented have even included launching “Café DeMon” coffee shop, serving Starbucks products, next to the enhanced Student Success Center in Watson Library. His dynamic leadership has steered NSU through the statewide threats of serious budget cuts, with Henderson’s active lobbying contributing to the successful and remarkable preservation of current budget levels for each of the first two fiscal years of his presidency. Henderson was honored at the spring 2016 commencement ceremony with a resolution from Northwestern State’s Faculty Senate for his “multiple creative and innovative efforts to revitalize the life of the university.” In his first full year as president, the university increased overall enrollment and improved its retention rate by nearly three percent, bucking regional and national trends. Northwestern State is strategically developing new programs that give students access to high demand skills and give employers in the region a competitive advantage. NSU has developed a cooperative endeavor agreement with the Louisiana Department of Economic Development to develop a trained workforce for CSC, a global leader of next-generation technology services and solutions at the Cyber Research Park in Bossier City. Through this partnership, NSU will triple the size of the renowned computer information systems program. The university has signed several new 2 + 2 agreements with community and technical colleges throughout Louisiana to make it easier for students with an associate degree to ob-

tain a bachelor’s degree. Northwestern State reached an Articulation of Credit agreement with the Louisiana School for Math, Science and the Arts that will allow LSMSA students to earn an associate degree from NSU along with their diploma. Northwestern State continued to be a leader in online education as the RN to BSN program, along with bachelor’s programs in computer information systems, criminal justice and psychology were ranked first in the country by a higher education website. The online bachelor’s in accounting was rated as the number two program in the nation. 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 late father, Clem, was a World War II veteran and a revered high school coach and principal in Shreveport. NSU’s 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, a college student in Dallas; high school senior Nicholas, a football lineman at Shreveport’s Loyola Prep; and local schoolboy Alexander, a skilled pianist and budding basketballer.

Jerry Pierce

Vice President • External Affairs Only a handful 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 51st 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 26th 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, an avid tennis player, 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 overNSU Athletic Council sees university operations in athletics, alumni and development, public and media relations and assists President Dr. Jim Henderson in governJody Biscoe (Chair) mental affairs activities. Many of those duties were his since the 1970s as Hall Adams Kwan Adkins (Student-Athlete) he worked under five previous presidents as Northwestern advanced from LaCarsha Babers NAIA to NCAA College Division to NCAA Division I athletic status in 1977. Brittany Blackwell A 1961 graduate of Northwestern, Pierce served as trainer/manager Angela Bolton for the Demon football team during his college years, working closely with Sid Hall legendary coach Jack Clayton. After earning his journalism degree, Pierce Natalie Jaeger (Student-Athlete) went to work for the New Orleans Times Picayune, serving as a reporter Aaron Johnson 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 Chris Lyles to NSU as sports information director. He was promoted to news bureau Dr. Charles Pellegrin director two years later and assumed additional responsibilities in athletChristie Price ics, alumni affairs and other areas through the years. He founded, in 1972, the Louisiana Sports Hall of Fame facility in Ex-Officio Members Greg Burke Prather Coliseum on the NSU campus, providing a home for an entity creDustin Eubanks ated in 1958. He established annual induction activities that remain in Roxanne Freeman place nearly four decades later, and served as director of the Hall for 19 Betsy Nohavitza years until his promotion to vice president in April 1990 forced him to step Dr. Patrice Moulton aside from the volunteer post. Dr. Vicki Parrish He helped guide Northwestern into three athletic conferences (Trans Jerry Pierce America, 1979; Gulf Star, 1983; Southland, 1987) and NCAA Division I status in 1977. 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 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 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. 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, 27, and Miranda, 16, along with two adult stepchildren, Nicholas and Natalie. He’s a doting “Poppy” to Natalie’s preschool daughters.

BIG FAN OF: Cleveland Browns, Indians and Cavaliers • INTERESTS: Working out, watching ESPN and VH1 Classic, family outings.

At the outset of his 21st year as director of athletics at Northwestern State, Greg Burke is highly regarded due to the work he’s done in his adopted hometown. Burke, a native Ohioan still beaming about the Cleveland Cavaliers’ NBA title, 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. 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 41 Southland Conference regular-season or tournament championships, 67 All-America and Academic All-America student athletes, and three U.S. Olympic competitors. Twenty-five NSU teams have taken part in NCAA or other postseason competition. All of the school’s athletic facilities have undergone over $7 million in improvements in the past few years. Burke spearheaded a $2 million series of sponsorships for new scoreboards installed for 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 2015-16. Formalizing the endowed giving program, branded as “Perpetually Purple,” generated an influx of over $100,000, while overall revenue generated by donations and sponsorships cracked $2 million. 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. Two former student-athletes in Burke’s tenure are now NSU head coaches: third-year tennis coach Olga Bazhanova, and first-year baseball coach Bobby Barbier. Numerous Burke hires had great success at Northwestern State that propelled them to national prominence in subsequent positions. Over 100 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, ACC, Mountain West Conference, Conference USA, SWAC, and Southland Conference. Five others hold Associate AD positions in the SEC, PAC 12, and American Athletic conferences. 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. Just in the past three years, 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. 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. Six 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 year-old 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 is 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 22-year-old daughter, Catherine, graduated from St. Mary’s High School in May of 2012 and is entering graduate school at UL Lafayette after earning her undergraduate degree from Louisiana Burke with his wife Susu and daughter Catherine Tech.

Several of his assistant SIDs and graduate assistants have advanced to prominence in sports. Former NSU sports information staffers under Ireland include Bruce Ludlow, associate commissioner for operations of the Southland Conference; Bill Magrath, media relations manager for the Sports Business Daily; Mike Morrison, former co-editor of the ESPN Information Please Almanac; Daucy Crizer, assistant AD and business manager at Lamar; Erik Cox, former SID at Lamar; Dart Volz, former SID at Southeastern Louisiana; Melissa Reynaud, former assistant SID at LSU; Kenny Lannou, associate AD for communications at Kansas State; Matthew Bonnette, assistant AD and SID at McNeese, and Troy Mitchell, SID at Henderson State. Dustin Eubanks, NSU’s assistant AD/director of NCAA compliance, worked in the NSU SID office as a graduate assistant and for two years as the full-time assistant, and Adam Jonson, NSU’s associate athletic director for external relations, was a student and graduate assistant in the SID office. In 1981-82, while an undergraduate at Northwestern, Ireland worked as chief of the Shreveport Times Natchitoches Bureau, coordinating news coverage of an eight-parish region along the Red River. From 1982-85, he was assistant SID at Southwestern Louisiana (now UL Lafayette), working with a men’s basketball program that made three straight postseason tournament appearances. He won CoSIDA publications and writing awards while at USL. Ireland was the sports editor of the Natchitoches Times in 1985-86 and attended graduate school at Northeast Louisiana (now UL Monroe) before joining the Alexandria Town Talk sports staff in 1987. In 18 months at the Town Talk, he covered both NSU and LSU sports and won 15 writing awards from the Louisiana Sports Writers’ Association. In 2001, the LSWA presented its prestigious Mac Russo Award to Ireland for his contributions to the organization. In 1999, Ireland was awarded honorary membership in the Graduate N Club at NSU by the university’s group of athletic lettermen for his service to Northwestern and its athletic program, and in 2003 he was given full membership. He was appointed by President Dr. Randall Webb to serve a two-year term on the inaugural University Planning Council in 1997-99. In 2008, he was awarded the Northwest Louisiana’s National Football Foundation “Distinguished American” award and in 2012 he was honored by the Alexandria Town Talk by being named the “CENLA Sportsman of the Year” award for his work as an SID and toward the completion of the $23 million Hall of Fame Museum. Louisiana Lt. Gov. Jay Dardenne presented a special award to Ireland at the grand opening of the museum on June 28, 2013, for his “tireless work and dedication to the creation” of the museum. The Louisiana Association of Museums gave him its Lois Wyatt Bannon “Heart and Soul” Service Award in April 2014 for his work with the museum. A member of the Blue Key National Honor Fraternity and a student government senator while completing a journalism degree from Northwestern, Ireland was editor of the student newspaper “Current Sauce” as a sophomore before going to work for the Shreveport Times. He was an all-district baseball player and the student body president at Jonesboro-Hodge High School, where he was a wingback for the Tigers’ 1977 Class AA state football finalists coached by the late Don Shows.
