2017 PREVIEW

Northwestern State has winning seasons in each of its past four campaigns for the first time since 1998-2002.

Coming off its fourth straight winning season, the longest such streak since 1998-2002, Northwestern State softball coach Donald Pickett said the 2017 team will be even hungrier. That’s because a 27-25 team that returns 12 letter winners and nine starters tasted the disappointment of missing the Southland Conference Tournament for the first time since 2012. The Lady Demons, who were picked as the 2016 preseason favorites after winning either the regular season or tournament title from 2013-15, struggled to a 10-17 conference mark after a strong 16-5 start to the season. “We’re not coming in being the hunted this season, and we’re coming in trying to be a lot more hungry,” said Pickett, who is entering his ninth season at NSU. “We should be a lot more motivated to bounce back and try to show everyone the character we have in this program. “There was a learning curve last year, and hopefully we’ve had time to reflect on that and understand what’s successful and what’s not. We’ve learned from it and are ready to move forward.” NSU can do that with a powerful offense surrounded by arguably the greatest hitting duo in program history in seniors Kellye Kincannon and Brittney Jones. Kincannon, an outfielder, is on pace to become the career leader in six

different offensive categories and land in the top five in three other statistics. She owns the career lead in batting average (.378) and slugging percentage (.752) and is second in career home runs (42) and RBIs (144). Jones’ name will likely dot the NSU record books as she ranks in the top five of four categories and is on pace to reach the top five in four other stats. The first baseman is second all-time in slugging percentage (.638) and third all-time with 32 home runs. “They definitely give a lot of confidence to their teammates,” Pickett said. “Kincannon has been a great leader and is someone who gives effort every day. She is one of those kids that’s a dream to coach. “Jones brings confidence and swagger to us offensively. They definitely protect each other when they hit back-to-back in the lineup, and it makes other teams pick their poison on who they will throw to or not throw to. Kincannon’s a left-hander and Jones is a right-hander, so it makes our lineup diverse.” NSU will have to replace departed senior Natalie Landry (team-high 44 RBIs and tied for a team high with 15 home runs), but the Lady Demons return their other seven top hitters from an offense that led the conference in home runs (56) and ranked fourth with 240 runs scored. Senior second baseman Micayla Sorosiak (.323 batting average) and

NSU has 12 letterwinners and eight starters returning from a 27-25 team.

sophomore designated hitter Kaylee Isenburg (.310 batting average) lead the rest of the returning contingent. Senior third baseman Jordan Rains, junior shortstop Hailee Rhodes and sophomore outfielder Sidney Salmans all started at least 46 games this past season. “There’s no substitute for experience, and that’s one thing we have a lot of in the infield,” said Pickett, who added a consistent Sorosiak will be one of the biggest keys to a successful season. “A lot of those upperclassmen have played a lot of games with things on the line. “We hope the returning experience along with the youthfulness and excitement the newcomers have will mesh together. We think we have the perfect mixture this year.” Redshirt sophomore pitcher Mikayla Brown is a newcomer of sorts, missing almost all of this past season with a torn ACL after winning the Southland Conference Pitcher of the Year as a freshman. Brown has a career 15-4 record with a sub-1.50 ERA. NSU will attempt to add depth in the circle after the graduation of Shelby Sells (10-12) and an offseason shoulder injury to junior Micaela Bouvier (15-11). Bouvier is expected to be throwing again by the season opener Feb. 10, but her workload remains unclear. “Brown has been throwing without any pain, and she’s working on getting back in her routine and getting her strength back to where it was before the injury,” Pickett said. “We’re looking forward to getting her back into live scrimmages and back into game mode, and we’re expecting big things out of her this year. “We’re going to take our time with Bouvier and not rush her back too soon. She’d definitely be a shot in the arm and add to our pitching depth with the experience she has.” Sophomore Katelyn Boles threw 11 1/3 innings despite an injury and

developed in the offseason. Among his 10 incoming freshmen, Pickett hopes to get contributions from left-handed pitcher Hayley Barbazon in relief. Freshman catcher Emma Hawthorne has earned the starting spot with the departures of Kaytie Proctor and Baylee Shephard. Hawthorne was a Texas all-state catcher as a senior and a four-time All-East Texas selection out of Hallsville High. Pickett said freshmen are challenging veterans at several other spots, and the competition is positive to sharpen the team’s focus in the preseason. “Emma brings a great work ethic and an even-keeled mindset,” Pickett said. “She brings a strong arm behind the plate, frames pitches well and led us in home runs this fall. “There are competitions on the left side of the infield and in the outfield. The outfield is probably our deepest unit, and we have great talent, speed and arm strength no matter which kids we put out there. We will be faster with stronger arms than ever in my nine years.” NSU will be challenged in the non-conference led by defending national champion and preseason No. 1 Oklahoma, Women’s College World Series semifinalist LSU and Florida, who finished as the No. 2 team in the final RPI standings. Both LSU and Florida and tied at No. 4 in the preseason rankings. The Lady Demons host No. 21 Baylor in their home opener on March 8 before diving into a conference schedule that features home series against Central Arkansas, Nicholls and Abilene Christian among others. “The first thing we’ll need to go right is to stay healthy and to keep our confidence growing no matter the early-season results,” Pickett said. “We need Sorosiak to be that consistent player the whole season, and we need Bouvier to get back and give us quality innings in the circle. “If we do those things, we’ll be in a really good situation at the end of the season.”

DONALD PICKETT

Head Coach 9th Season Overall (218-208) 9th Season at NSU

Six of Northwestern State coach Donald Pickett’s first eight seasons have resulted in winning or even records, and Pickett enters his ninth season with winners in his last four campaigns. 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, joined on the first-team all-conference list by redshirt freshman pitcher Micaela Bouvier, senior third baseman Brittany Virgoe, senior designated player Cassandra Barefield, sophomore first baseman Brittney Jones and sophomore outfielder Kellye 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). Kincannon made the All-Louisiana Collegiate Softball first team with Brown, Jones and Barefield making the second team. Kincannon and Brown also wrapped up AllSouth Region honors. A total of 20 players have been selected to the All-SLC first or second teams in Pickett’s tenure. 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. 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 few-

est losses (15) since 1983 and the best 20-game start (16-4) since 1990. “Donald deserves all the credit in the world for resurrecting the NSU softball program,” said NSU athletics director Greg Burke. “It was very satisfying for me to see how happy he was when the team won the Southland Conference tournament championship and had the privilege of representing our conference at the NCAA Regionals, because I knew very well the arduous and persevering path that he had taken over the past five seasons.” While restructuring the NSU softball program, he led the charge to provide a reconstructed Lady Demon Softball Complex. The stadium hosted the 2013 and 2015 SLC tournaments. While NSU was Pickett’s first head coaching job, his potential was evident in his

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

previous stops. 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. He also has coached the Austin (Tenn.) Eagles American Softball Association summer team to four national tournament appearances and two top-five finishes in the ASA nationals. Pickett learned about the Northwestern State coaching post from Pat Murphy, the coach of perennial power Alabama, who was among several nationally prominent coaches consulted during the summer 2008 search for a new Lady Demons head coach. Working 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 coaching hitting and defense is recognized nationally. Coaching and administrative colleagues of Pickett’s were effusive in their praise. In Pickett’s first season as assistant coach at his alma mater, the 2001 Lady Mocs opened the season with back-to-back no-hitters and knocked off top-25 teams in Ohio State and Baylor, rolling to a 44-15 record while never dropping more than two games in a row. The Lady Mocs posted two upset wins over top-seeded and No. 12 ranked Florida Atlantic in the NCAA Regionals. UTC then just missed capturing a berth in the World Series after narrow losses to Georgia Tech and Florida State. “There may not be a better fundamental coach out there,” UTC’s Reed said. “He is a

good person, the type of person your family would like to be associated with, and he is perhaps one of the most ‘up and coming’ young coaches out there right now.” Donald is married to Paige Pickett, and Pickett family welcomed a new child Jacob Dean into the world this September. Jacob joins older sister Ainsley Elizabeth (8), who was born in Natchitohes in 2009.

Well into its sixth decade of service, the Southland Conference continues to be a model of innovation, stability and consistent achievement as it celebrates the academic and athletic accomplishments of its member institutions and approximately 4,200 student-athletes. Having commemorated its 50th anniversary in 2013, the Southland Conference has transformed itself into a dynamic and respected consortium of 13 member universities in three states. Beginning with a historic meeting of five institutions in Dallas on March 15, 1963, the Southland Conference set on an extraordinary course that has proven successful well into the 21st Century. The successful transformation continues, as the Southland Conference welcomed four additional members in 2013: Abilene Christian University, Houston Baptist University, the University of Incarnate Word in San Antonio, and the University of New Orleans. In addition to its newest members, the Southland also consists of the University of Central Arkansas, Lamar University, McNeese State University, Nicholls State University, Northwestern State University, Sam Houston State University, Southeastern Louisiana University, Stephen F. Austin State University and Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi. An original Southland member from 1963-73, Abilene Christian rejoined the league as one of the most decorated athletic programs in NCAA history, and the addition of Houston Baptist, UIW and New Orleans gives the Southland a regular competitive presence in the key metropolitan areas of Houston, San Antonio and New Orleans. Southland cities encompass approximately 14 million people, and six of its television markets rank among the top 100 in the U.S. All told, the membership of the Southland encompasses nearly 140,000 current students and an alumni base of nearly 800,000. Famous alums from current Southland Conference schools include former CBS news anchor Dan Rather (Sam Houston State), NBA executive Joe Dumars (McNeese State), ABC news anchor Robin Roberts (Southeastern Louisiana), Major League Baseball star Wade Miley (Southeastern Louisiana), NBA legend Scottie Pippen (Central Arkansas), and track and field Olympians Kenta Bell (Northwestern State), and Bobby Morrow and Billy Olson (both Abilene Christian).

RETIRED JERSEYS NO. 3 GINGER CRAIG

NO. 27 RHONDA RUBE

Ginger Craig was a standout at the plate at Northwestern State, playing from 1985-88. She set 10 career hitting records, one of which still remains (triples-18). She also holds individual season records for batting average (.428) and slugging percentage (.783). She was the first Louisiana Athletic Directors Associationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Player of the Year and was the Gulf Star Conference Most Valuable Player in 1987. She also played two seasons (1984-86) for the Lady Demon basketball team.

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 Directors Associationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Player of the Year and a four-time All-Southland Conference pick, three first-team selections and one second team.

A LOOK BACK AT 2016

Northwestern State hit a Southland Conference-best 56 home runs this past season, which ranked second all-time in NSU history./

The Northwestern State softball team appeared to absorb a blow it suffered in the first weekend of the 2016 season. Pitcher Mikayla Brown, the reigning Southland Conference Pitcher of the Year, tore her ACL in Texas State’s Centurylink Classic. But the Lady Demons persevered early, posting a 16-5 mark which included wins against Mississippi State (receiving vote), Oklahoma State, Texas State and Longwood -- all of which finished the season in the top 60 in RPI. NSU paired of Micaela Bouvier and Shelby Sells paired with an explosive offense, but the Lady Demons’ lack of pitching depth eventually took its toll. The Lady Demons struggled in Southland Conference play, finishing eighth (10-17) and missing the league tournament after winning the regular season title in 2015 and tournament titles in 2013 and 2014. NSU still posted its fourth consecutive winning season at 27-25, finishing No. 93 in the final RPI standings. “Last year was just one of those things that happens, something no one could really control,” said NSU coach Donald Pickett, whose Lady Demons were picked as the preseason favorites to win the SLC heading into the 2016 season. “We’ve got to bounce back and show everyone the character that we have the program. “We’ve got to learn from it and move forward.” Bouvier and Sells’ ERAs surpassed the 3.00 mark after dipping to as low as 2.35 midseason for Bouvier and 2.28 midseason for Sells. The pair pitched all but 25 innings this past season, including two

Brown starts in the first weekend. NSU improved to 16-5 after a win against Incarnate Word in the SLC opener before losing that series on the road. The Lady Demons battled back to 5-4 in the league with series wins against Houston Baptist and at Sam Houston State, but NSU lost the next five series to all but seal its postseason fate. NSU’s offense remained potent for most of the season, leading the Southland Conference with 56 home runs while ranking fourth with 240 runs scored and fifth with a .280 batting average. But the Lady Demons slid from their record-setting 2015 numbers, and the relative offensive inconsistency wasn’t enough to offset NSU’s lack of pitching depth. Junior Kellye Kincannon still posted one of the better seasons in NSU history as her .748 slugging percentage ranked third and her 15 home runs tied for fourth-best in a single season. Kincannon made the All-SLC second team with a .362 batting average. Junior Brittney Jones’ 31 walks tied for fourth-best in a single season to highlight her third-team selection as she batted .331 and slugged .591 with 10 home runs. Senior Natalie Landry made the third team after her 15 home runs tied for fourth-best in NSU single-season history to pair with a team-high 44 RBIs.

Dr. Chris Maggio

Northwestern State President

Chris Maggio is a competitor for all seasons. Northwestern State’s acting 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. Today, you can find him making earlymorning runs, and you might see him on the tennis courts. He’s made memorable putts at Demon Hills

Golf Course. His zeal for competition makes him a dynamic recruiter and fund raiser for NSU, and his ability to mentor staff members and students combined with his warmth and sincerity to produce a tremendously effective university administrator.

Dr. Darlene Williams Northwestern and eight other state universities. The appointment of Maggio, a lifelong resident of Natchitoches and long-time faculty and staff member at Northwestern State, will run through the spring semester and into June as the Board of Supervisors for the University of Louisiana System conducts a national search for Northwestern State’s president. Maggio is a candidate for the post. Maggio was named vice president for the student experience at Northwestern State in September after serving as interim vice president for just over a year. He will maintain his role as vice president for the student experience while serving as acting president. When the NSU Student Services building opened a couple of 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 has 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 two years. Enrollment for the Fall 2016 semester was 9,819 students, a seven percent increase over the previous fall, the highest growth rate of any University of Louisiana System institution. 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

An Involved President

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. 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” last fall 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, is on the NSU staff as Coordinator of Adult Education Initiatives. They have three children, Melanie, Scott, and Emily. Emily is a high school student at St. Mary’s Catholic School of Natchitoches, while her older siblings attend other colleges.

Jerry Pierce

Vice President • External Affairs Few people have served Northwestern State as long as alumnus Jerry Pierce has, and nobody has done so in a more understated manner. In his 50th 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 25th 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 is an avid tennis player who 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 oversees university operations in athletics, alumni and development, public and media relations and assists NSU Athletic Council President Dr. Jim Henderson in governmental affairs activities. Many of Jody Biscoe (Chair) those duties were his since the 1970s as he worked under five previous Hall Adams presidents as Northwestern advanced from NAIA to NCAA College Division LaCarsha Babers to NCAA Division I athletic status in 1977. Brittany Blackwell A 1961 graduate of Northwestern, Pierce served as trainer/manager Cole Gentry for the Demon football team during his college years, working closely with Baylee Gray (Student) legendary coach Jack Clayton. After earning his journalism degree, Pierce Kelee Grimes went to work for the New Orleans Times Picayune, serving as a reporter Steve Gruesbeck 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 Dr. Jack Pace Dr. Charles Pellegrin to NSU as sports information director. He was promoted to news bureau diChristie Price rector two years later and assumed additional responsibilities in athletics, Kelee Roddy alumni affairs and other areas through the years. Steve Story He founded, in 1972, the Louisiana Sports Hall of Fame facility in Sabri Thompson (Student) Prather Coliseum on the NSU campus, providing a home for an entity created in 1958. He established annual induction activities that remain in place Ex-Officio Members nearly four decades later, and served as director of the Hall for 19 years Greg Burke until his promotion to vice president in April 1990 forced him to step aside Carrie Greene from the volunteer post. Dustin Eubanks Roxanne Freeman He helped guide Northwestern into three athletic conferences (Trans Dr. Patrice Moulton America, 1979; Gulf Star, 1983; Southland, 1987) and NCAA Division I staDr. Vicki Parrish tus in 1977. He is a past president of the Southland and has served the Jerry Pierce conference through other offices and committee positions. Dr. Randall Webb 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 more than two 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 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, 24, and Miranda, 13, and two adult stepchildren, Nicholas and Natalie.

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

In his 20th year as director of athletics at Northwestern State, Greg Burke has received national acclaim for the job he’s done in his adopted hometown. Burke has been athletics director at Northwestern since August 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 all of the school’s NCAA Division I sports. Those achievements have garnered several awards for Burke, including the “Outstanding Contributions to Amateur Football Award” by the north Louisiana chapter of the National Football Foundation and College Football Hall of Fame and the Under Amour AD of the Year Award presented by the National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics (NACDA). He is a past recipient of the All-America Football Foundation’s General Robert R. Neyland Outstanding Athletic Director Award and also was tabbed as one of two Natchitoches Parish Cenla Newsmakers of 2005 by the Alexandria Town Talk newspaper’s editorial staff. He also is a familiar face on the national level by virtue of serving on several NCAA and NACDA committees, including being president of the Football Championship Subdivision Athletics Directors Association and a member of the NACDA Executive Committee. He currently is a member of the NCAA Committee on Academics and has served on the NCAA Championships/Sports Management Cabinet. He previously served 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. Burke 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. Burke’s 19 years as athletic director include 37 Southland Conference regular-season or tournament championships, 61 All-American and Academic All-American student athletes, and three U.S. Olympic competitors. Twenty NSU teams have taken part in NCAA or WNIT postseason competition. The school’s athletic facilities have undergone more than $9 million in improvements in recent years, including a $2 million replacement project for all scoreboards funded completely through private sponsorships the past four years. The newly established Demons Unlimited Foundation has set annual giving records each of the past two years while embarking on an ambitious initiative to grow the athletic endowment to $5 million under the recently initiated “Perpetually Purple” program. 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. Burke has displayed a remarkable ability to hire dynamic head coaches. Women’s basketball co-head coaches Brooke and Scott Stoehr have guided NSU to the NCAA Tournament twice in their three-year tenure, co-head coaches Hugh and Stephanie Hernesman led the volleyball program to its first Southland tournament title and NCAA berth, first-year women’s tennis coach Olga Bazhanova led the Lady Demons to the 2015 conference regular-season title and a berth in the tournament championship game while baseball coach Lane Burroughs in his third year has revived that program with a 2015 second-place finish in the league standings. Anchors of the NSU department include current head coaches Mike McConathy, Louisiana’s all-time career basketball wins leader, and 2015 Southland Conference softball coach of the year Donald Pickett, whose team won the conference regular season title for the first time in 15 years and played in its third straight conference tournament championship game. Several other Burke hires had great success at Northwestern State that propelled them to national prominence in subsequent positions. 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. NSU received the Southland Conference’s inaugural “Southland Strong” Community Service Awards and an NSU student-athlete has been a recipient of the Southland Male or Female Citizenship seven times since the award’s inception eight years ago, including having both winners the past two years. 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!” Burke 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 president of the Natchitoches Area Jaycees. He is involved with the American Heart Association, was 2010 March of Dimes chairman locally, and currently is on the Natchitoches Convention and Visitors Bureau Board of Directors. An Ohio native, he received the 2006 “Outstanding Alumni Award” from his alma mater, Marlington High School, recognizing his community service and professional achievements. His wife, Susu, is a Natchitoches native, NSU graduate and an elementary teacher. Their 21-year-old daughter, Catherine, graduated from St. Mary’s High School in May of 2012 and plans to pursue a career in collegiate athletics when she graduates from Louisiana Tech in May 2016.
