2020 PREVIEW

Pitching depth and variety are key factors to a team’s softball success. Northwestern State is deeper in the circle this season than coach Donald Pickett has had since winning the Southland Conference regular season in 2015, or possibly ever as Pickett enters his 12th season in Natchitoches. NSU brings back three of its four primary pitchers and added NJCAA Division II pitcher of the year Jensen Howell. Add that to an offensive starting lineup that returns eight of its top 10 bats, and the Lady Demons figure to be a contender for the Southland Conference title. The Lady Demons will attempt to build off a pair of Southland Conference Tournament wins that launched NSU into the winner’s bracket as a No. 6 seed, highlights a 30-win campaign that included a 15-12 league mark. PITCHERS Junior E.C. Delafield (10-4, 2.49 ERA) led the team in wins and ERA, senior Samantha Guile (9-11, 2.76 ERA) led the squad in strikeouts and innings pitched (77 in 116 2/3 innings) and sophomore Bronte Rhoden (5-3, 3.52 ERA) earned valuable experience as a starter and reliever. Signee Jensen Howell compiled a 22-3 mark while helping LSU-Eunice to a NJCAA Division II national championship. Pickett said the variety of arms will offer different looks to opposing hitters. “I don’t know that we’ve ever had four with this much experience at one time,” Pickett said. “They set the tone for this team, and I’m looking for all four of them to have a big impact. “With the variety and depth this staff has, we can make pitching changes quicker and get out ahead of a momentum change. We have confidence in all four of these arms, and we can give all of these great offensive teams in our league different looks.” The lone arm not returning is Mikayla Brown, who regained much of her former self as she compiled a 2.78 ERA and a 6-8 record, although she evolved

into a primary reliever. Brown did toss four of NSU’s nine shutouts and finished her career with 12. Delafield was selected to the All-Southland Conference first team as a utility player. Pickett said she’s become a more consistent pitcher in the offseason. “(Delafield) has been consistent in her command of pitches, and she’s come a long way in being able to change speeds,” Pickett said. “She can keep teams off balanced.” Guile is a left-handed power pitcher that improved as she adjusted to NSU’s style of play after transferring from Southern Utah. Rhoden brings a bulldog mentality and developed her confidence throughout her freshman season. “We’ll continue to use Sammie to keep teams off-balanced,” Pickett said. “(Rhoden) has taken huge steps forward with her confidence. “We’re really excited to have all three of these players back in a second season under pitching coach Brooke Boening, who’s done a great job. We don’t have to do a lot of explaining with our pitchers in her second season, and we can get right to work on the meat and potatoes.” Howell is a right-handed power pitcher that has Division I experience after pitching at Louisiana Tech as a freshman. “Jensen is a power pitcher who can move the ball around and keep batters honest,” Pickett said. “We want to bring her along slowly, but I know she’s eager to get out there and prove herself. “The biggest thing is that she doesn’t have to prove everything every time out. Staying within herself will be big.” OFFENSE NSU has slowly rebuilt its power-based offense of the early and mid2010s, and the Lady Demons aim to bring the pop back with eight of its top 10 bats returning from a lineup that averaged nearly seven runs per game. The top seven Lady Demons in terms of batting average all return,

and Pickett expects several of his seven incoming freshmen to challenge for playing time. Returners accounted for 31 of NSU’s 35 home runs and 167 of 202 RBIs. “We have our choice of lefties and righties, and we’ll have more depth overall this year,” Pickett said. “With so many returners, we’re more comfortable switching up the lineup when a certain matchup arises or somebody gets in a slump. “We should be able to make more things happen with a more versatile lineup, and I don’t think we’ll be as top heavy as we have been.” OUTFIELDERS Three seniors, two of which have been named all-conference in their careers, will patrol the outfield. Senior Elise Vincent had one of NSU’s best conference slates this past season to finish strongly and be named to the All-SLC third team with a .304 average and 18 steals. Senior Kaitlyn St. Clair had a similar season two years ago in which made the all-conference team, and she still produced a .278 average with 19 RBIs as a junior. Senior Hayley Barbazon will patrol centerfield once again, hoping to build on a season in which she scored 34 runs and was a perfect 11-for-11 on stolen bases. The three outfield seniors are the backbone of a five-member senior class, who when combined with Hawthorne have started or played significant roles in all four seasons. “We want all of our seniors to take steps forward in their least years, and we think they can all have huge years,” Pickett said. “(St. Clair) is capable of daily consistency, and (Vincent) is continue to build on that. “(Barbazon) has had a lot of bright moments, but we want her to find that consistency. Nobody should have as much pressure on them with the depth we have.” Other outfielders who could see time include sophomore Casey Irvin and freshmen Jordan Dickerson and Kacee Mertens.

Junior Codi Vernace has played in right field and behind the plate, and her bat could also factor in at designated hitter after INFIELDERS/CATCHERS All-Southland Conference second baseman Cayla Jones leads a group that will feature three returning starters and two newcomers. Opposing pitchers attempted to pitch around Jones, but she still hit for a .335 average with nine home runs, 35 RBIs and 36 walks, leading to 41 runs scored. “It will be harder to pitch around Cayla with this lineup,” Pickett said. “They’ll still try to make her hit pitches that they feel aren’t her strength, but I think she’ll have more of an opportunity to make an impact because we have a deeper lineup.” NSU features a pair of third baseman who have extensive starting experience. Senior Emma Hawthorne made 39 total starts this past season, whether she was at third base or designated hitter. Hawthorne came on strong in SLC play and warmed up to a .267 average with 16 RBIs. Hawthorne has served as a starting catcher in past seasons and could find time at first base as well. Rising sophomore Maggie Black started 51 games and was the primary starting third baseman who can also play shortstop. Black gained confidence throughout the season and finished with 18 RBIs and eight doubles. Fellow sophomore Alexis Perry returns at catcher after starting all 57 games this past season. She belted six home runs with 30 RBIs while hitting for a solid .288 average. “Hawthorne took steps forward throughout the year, and she’s a veteran that will find a way to contribute,” Pickett said. “Perry has looked really good behind the plate, and she’s a consistent kid who’s a student of the game. “Black made strides as a freshman, and she’s athletic enough to play multiple positions.” Freshman Keely DuBois could see time at shortstop after a distinguished career at Many High.

DONALD PICKETT

Head Coach 12th Season Overall (297-293-1) 12th Season at NSU Donald Pickett posted his fifth 30-win season in his 11-year tenure at Northwestern State as he led a young bunch against a challenging schedule. The 2019 Lady Demons (30-27) won their most overall games, Southland Conference games (15) and league tournament games (two) since taking the regular season title in 2015. He had seven freshmen and sophomores start at least 20 games with three of his four pitchers being underclassmen or newcomers. Pickett became the Northwestern State softball’s all-time winningest coach toward the beginning of the 2018 season and has six winning seasons in the last seven years. His 297 wins represents a turnaround at NSU that includes three Southland Conference titles (2013 and 2014 tournament championships and 2015 regular season title) as he guided the Lady Demons to two NCAA Tournaments. NSU has made seven postseason trips in his 11-year tenure. In 2018, freshman Cayla Jones was selected to the NFCA All-Region First Team, only the third player in school history to earn that honor. Jones followed that with the All-Louisiana Freshman of the Year. Jones led three all-conference selections in 2019, joined by sophomore E.C. Delafield and junior Elise Vincent. Pickett is known for his offensive prowess, and his players own six career batting statistics and litter the top-five charts. Kellye Kincannon captured three career hitting marks and shares another with Cassandra Barefield. Brittney Jones and Brittany Virgoe each own a category. Eight of Pickett’s last 10 teams have had winning or even records after starting 5-45 in his first season, inheriting a program that had 10 wins in the previous campaign. Pickett rebuilt NSU softball into a perennial Southland Conference championship contender by winning three league titles between 2013-15. The Lady Demons won an SLC regular season title in 2015 and conference tournament championships with corresponding NCAA Tournament appearances in 2013 and 2014. The regular season conference title is NSU’s first since 2000. From 2013-15, NSU posted a 106-55 record (.658), the second-best winning percentage in any three-year window in program history. The 2015 team had the best conference season of any NSU softball squad, posting a 22-3 league record to finish 36-18. The top-seeded Lady Demons fell in the championship game of the conference tournament, preventing three straight NCAA appearances. Freshman pitcher Mikayla Brown was named SLC Pitcher of the Year to headline six all-conference selections, including Kincannon (SLC Softball Student-Athlete of the Year). For his efforts, Pickett was named SLC Coach of the Year for the second time (also winning in 2013).

A total of 34 players have been selected to the All-Southland Conference teams with 18 All-Louisiana selections. In 2013 and 2014, NSU stormed to SLC Conference tournament titles with records of 40-15 and 30-22, respectively. In 2014, the Lady Demons appeared in a regional with No. 13 Baylor, Houston and Tulsa. NSU nearly knocked off Houston in a 7-6 loss. Nine Lady Demons were named to the All-Southland squads with six being selected for the All-Louisiana team. Tara McKenney and Kincannon became the first NSU players in more than 10 years to earn All-South Region honors from the National Fastpitch Coaches Association.

Head coach Donald Pickett has led NSU to three Southland Conference titles since 2013 -- two tournmaent titles (2013-14) and one regular season (2015).

CHAMPIONS ‘91 ‘98 ‘99 ‘00 ‘15

NSUDEMONS.COM In 2013, Northwestern State found itself in similar circumstances. As they did in 2014, the Lady Demons took second place in the regular season after a hot finish to the season. The squad made an NCAA Tournament appearance in the Baton Rouge Regional and played a nail-biter against Super Regional qualifier UL Lafayette. Pickett was voted Coach of the Year honors on the 2013 All-Louisiana softball team and five Lady Demons were included on the All-Louisiana Team. The 2013 haul of accomplishments included the best winning percentage in the program’s history (.727), the longest winning streak (11) since 1998, the fewest losses (15) since 1983 and the best 20-game start (16-4) since 1990. While restructuring the NSU softball program, he led the charge to provide a reconstructed Lady Demon Softball Complex. The stadium hosted the 2013, 2015 and 2019 SLC tournaments. Before helping establish a new program at Memphis (2006-08) as an assistant, he worked at a pair of highly successful programs in Tennessee-Chattanooga (2001-05) and Chattanooga State Community College (1998-2000). Pickett helped UT-Chattanooga to three NCAA Tournament appearances and the brink of a Women’s College World Series berth. At Chattanooga State, Pickett was part of a staff that led the team to three top-five finishes in the NJCAA along with three regional and conference championships. Working for five seasons under coach Frank Reed at Chattnooga, Pickett helped the Mocs advance within one win of the World Series. The Mocs had an overall 210-126 record while picking up three Southern Conference championships before Pickett joined coach Wendy Thees at Memphis following the first year of softball for the Tigers. Also serving as assistant to Reed at Chattanooga State CC for three seasons, Pickett helped post a 151-27 record, including a 62-3 mark in 2001. A year earlier, Pickett was part of the National Fastpitch Coaching Staff of the Year, and in 2002, Pickett was part of the Chattanooga State team that was inducted into the Chattanooga Sports Hall of Fame. A 2005 Chattanooga graduate, Pickett is regarded as an excellent recruiter whose expertise in coaching, hitting and defense is recognized nationally.

Donald is married to Paige Pickett. Daughter Ainsley and son Jacob were both born in Natchitoches.

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.

Rhonda Rube remains the most highly decorated player in Northwestern State softball history. She is the only player to ever earn All-American honors, third team (1991). She set four career hitting records including hits, doubles, batting average, and walks. She was a three-time Louisiana Athletic Director’s Association Player of the Year and a four-time All-Southland Conference pick, three first-team selections and one second team.

Northwestern State Softball

A LOOK B ACK AT 2019

NSU qualifi ed for its second straight Southland Conference Tournament in 2018. The Lady Demons host in 2019 and are aiming for a high seed at Lady Demon Diamond.

The Northwestern State softball team was exactly where it wanted to be. The No. 6 seed Lady Demons won their first two Southland Conference Tournament games as the tournament host, including knocking off rival McNeese in the night cap of the first day. But once in the winner’s bracket portion of the tournament, the Lady Demons fell to Nicholls and Stephen F. Austin, the latter after a weather delay pushed that contest to the following day with NSU in the lead, only to have the Ladyjacks own that second day in an SFA win. The two SLC Tournament wins were a step in the right direction, marking the first season with multiple tournament wins since the Lady Demons advanced to the tournament championship game for the third straight season in 2015. The hope is the taste of that postseason success will set the stage for a memorable 2020 with all but one full-time position starter and one starting pitcher returning. NSU finished 30-27 and 15-12 in the league, the first 30-win season since 2015. The 15 league wins is the most since 2015 as well when the Lady Demons posted a 22-3 mark with 36 overall wins. Three Lady Demons made All-Southland Conference teams led by first-teamer E.C. Delafield at utility. Second baseman Cayla Jones was a cornerstone of the lineup and made the second team, and outfielder Elise Vincent had arguably the most consistent SLC season en route to a third-team honor.

Delafield morphed into the pitching staff ’s ace, posting a 10-4 record with a 2.49 ERA. The sophomore also turned in a solid offensive performance with a .272 average and four home runs and 17 RBIs. Opponents tried to pitch around Jones as much as possible, but the sophomore still hit .335 with nine home runs, 35 RBIs, 41 runs scored and 36 walks. Vincent assumed leadoff spot duties midseason and hit .304 with 18 stolen bases. Kaitlyn St. Clair provided a huge nonconference moment when she walked off a Boise State team receiving Top 25 votes in the season opener. NSU scored a win against ACC-member Boston College, but the Lady Demons also lost every contest in two different tournaments. NSU had a great start to league play by winning the final two games at Sam Houston State against the eventual champion Bearkats, which included a 10-inning win in which freshman Maggie Black delivered a two-run double and Mikayla Brown picked up the relief win. The Lady Demons improved to 5-1 with a sweep of Abilene Christian, but McNeese took two of three to drop NSU to 6-3. But the Lady Demons were riding high after a home sweep of Southeastern only to get swept at Nicholls. The boom or bust continued with a sweep of Texas A&M-Corpus Christi before dropping a series 2-1 at Lamar and being swept at Stephen F. Austin. NSU closed the league season with a 2-1 win vs. Central Arkansas to lock up the No. 6 seed.

Northwestern State Softball

Dr. Chris Maggio N o r th w e s te rn S ta te P re s id e n t

Chris Maggio is a competitor for all seasons. Northwestern State’s third-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. Those traits, along with U N I V E R S I T Y A D M I N I S T R AT I O N Dr. Maggio’s deep roots and President: far-reaching relationships, . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Dr. Darlene Williams years as president. Henderson moved up to run the University of Louisiana System, which includes Northwestern and eight other state universities. Maggio, 55, 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 opened three years ago, 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 four years, with record numbers in 2017-18, peaked by 11,081 in the fall 2018 semester. 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 career 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.

Jerry Pierce

V ic e P re s id e n t • E x te rn a l A ff a irs 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 NSU Athletic Council 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 Jody Biscoe (Chair) Katrice Below served his alma mater, adopted hometown and state with distinction. In Maggie Black (Student-Athlete) his role as vice president, he oversees university operations in athletics, Steven Boyd alumni and development, public and media relations and assists President Scott Burrell Dr. Chris Maggio in governmental affairs activities. Many of those duties Nick Forde (Student-Athlete) were his since the 1970s as he worked under six previous presidents as Kimberly Gallow Northwestern advanced from NAIA to NCAA College Division to NCAA DiviFrank Hall sion I athletic status in 1977. Dr. Terrie Poehl A 1961 graduate of Northwestern, Pierce served as trainer/manager Rodrick McIntosh for the Demon football team during his college years, working closely with Dr. Jim Mischler legendary coach Jack Clayton. After earning his journalism degree, Pierce Dr. Begona Perez-Mira went to work for the New Orleans Times Picayune, serving as a reporter Alexis Smith-Finnie Ex-Officio Members and editor. He was named executive sports editor at the age of 24. Greg Burke In 1965, he chose to raise his two sons in Natchitoches and returned Dustin Eubanks to NSU as sports information director. He was promoted to news bureau diRoxanne Freeman rector two years later and assumed additional responsibilities in athletics, Dr. Chris Maggio alumni affairs and other areas through the years. Kaitlyn McCanna He created, in 1972, the Louisiana Sports Hall of Fame facility in Dr. Patrice Moulton Prather Coliseum on the NSU campus, providing a home for an entity Dr. Vicki Parrish founded by the Louisiana Sports Writers Association in 1958. He estabJerry Pierce lished annual induction activities that remain in place nearly five decades Dr. Haley Taitano later, serving as director of the Hall for 19 years until his promotion to vice president in April 1990 forced him to step aside from the volunteer post. He helped guide Northwestern into three athletic conferences (Trans 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 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.

Greg B urke D ire c to r o f A th le tic s 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.

Starting his 24th 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 1996. 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 most of the school’s 14 NCAA Division I sports. Highlights in Burke’s two-plus 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 participated in NCAA or other postseason competition. The athletic program’s $10 million “Victorious” facility campaign has resulted in $1.7 million of construction and updates to the baseball, softball, football, soccer, and track complexes in the past year. Updates are also visible in the Athletic Fieldhouse and at Prather Coliseum, including a new interactive N-Club Hall of Fame display. The “crown jewel” of the campaign will be a $3.5 million strength and conditioning center that will also include significant updates to the department’s sports medicine areas. These completed projects come on the heels of the addition of a $1 million video board and $600,000 chairback seating upgrade at Turpin Stadium made possible through private gifts and sponsorships in the past three years. Fundraising initiatives reached new levels in 2018-19 through increased giving to the Demons Unlimited Foundation that exceeded $2.5 million in restricted and unrestricted gifts, as well as to the “Perpetually Purple” endowment program. The athletic department also recently signed an exclusive multi-media rights agreement with Peak Sports Management. Competitively, one of the biggest achievements 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. 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. Most recently, Jasmyn Steels had arguably the best year in Southland Conference history for a female track and female athlete by winning the long jump title at the NCAA Division I Indoor Championships and finishing second at the NCAA outdoor meet. 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 over 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 2018 NCAA Regionals after winning the first conference tourney title in school history. Numerous Burke coaching and staff hires have 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 12 Division I conferences - SEC, Big XII, ACC, MWC, Conference USA, Sun Belt, Ohio Valley, Big Sky, Patriot, Southern, SWAC, and Southland – as well as several others at the Division II and NAIA levels. Former Burke lieutenants Todd Garzarelli (Indiana University Pennsylvania), Jason Horn (Xavier-NO) and Adam Jonson (LSU Alexandria) are now athletics directors. OthersBurke proteges include Tommy McClelland (athletic director at Louisiana Tech), Roman Banks (athletic director at Southern University), Kurt Gulbrand (senior associate AD for development at Tennessee), Jodie Libadisos (associate AD for student-athlete enhancement at South Florida), and Dennis Kalina (deputy athletic director at Binghamton). Burke has established a high standard for NSU Athletics in academic achievement and community service. The academic accomplishments are reflected annually in the NCAA’s APR and

GSR studies. Community service and engagement outreach by NSU student-athletes, coaches and staff totaled nearly 7,000 more for the 2018-19 year. NSU was the inaugural winner and has twice been runner-up for The Southland Conference’s “Southland Strong” Community Service since its inception five years ago. NSU has also had the most Southland Conference “Steve McCarty Citizenship Award” honorees since that award’s inception in 2008. 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 February 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. In 2010, 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. 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. Burke’s NCAA committee service has included terms on the NCAA Committee on Academics and Championships/Sports Management Cabinet. He previously served a term on the NCAA Division I Football Issues Committee (1999-2002) and concurrently served on the eight-member NCAA FCS Committee that administers the national playoffs. Burke is a member of the Natchitoches Convention and Visitors Bureau board, and on the board of directors for the Central Louisiana Community Foundation. He is 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 25-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 in May 2018.

Football Press B ox named after Doug Ireland Longtime Northwestern State scribe Doug Ireland spent countless fall nights on the Turpin Stadium press level, feverishly recounting the latest Demon football contests. Now, that press area high above the Turpin turf will bear his name. Starting in the 2019 football season, media will compose their own NSU football articles on the Doug Ireland Media Level of Turpin Stadium after the Louisiana Board of Supervisors approved the measure in their June meeting. “Doug is truly deserving of this special recognition,” said Jerry Pierce, vice president for external affairs. “He has promoted Northwestern’s sports programs effectively for three decades through extensive media initiatives, and it is appropriate for the name of the media area of the stadium press box to reflect his immeasurable contributions to the university.” NSU director of athletics Greg Burke, who has been a part of the Demon athletics department for most of Ireland’s 30 years as sports information director, said honoring Ireland in a visible way is an easy decision. “It is appropriate and fitting for Doug to be honored in this enduring manner as an illustration of the lasting mark he leaves on the NSU athletic program after so many years of service and dedication,” Burke said. A 1986 broadcast journalism graduate from Northwestern State, Ireland returned to his alma mater in January 1989 and began a three-decade career promoting NSU’s 14 intercollegiate teams. Armed with nearly a decade’s worth of experience in newspapers and as an assistant sports information director at UL Lafayette, Ireland quickly put his stamp on NSU athletics. His 1992 football media guide earned “Best in the Nation” honors in the Football Championship Subdivision (FCS) ranks from the Collegiate Sports Information Directors of America. The award-winning sports information director took home 33 Louisiana Sports Writers Associations honors just since 2000, including the 2017 LSWA Story of the Year.
