“This is a great hire for East Texas Baptist. Josh was a tremendous addition to our staff when he joined us for the 2009 season. He will bring great enthusiasm and passion along with a tremendous work ethic and outstanding football knowledge to East Texas Baptist. It’s very gratifying to see guys who work hard and do things the right way get rewarded for their efforts. I’m very happy for Josh and his family. He will do a great job there.” Les Miles, head coach Louisiana State University

Coaching both sides of the ball, Eargle has been an offensive and defensive coordinator in his young career. In 2012, he was the defensive coordinator at Southeastern Oklahoma State (NCAA DII) and served as the offensive coordinator for the University of Arkansas-Monticello (NCAA DII) in 2010. “With Coach Eargle’s experience as a recruiting coordinator, offensive coordinator, and defensive coordinator, he will bring a good working knowledge of the game to our program,” stated Reeves. Post season games have also graced Eargle at the NCAA Division I level along with conference championships. He has coached in four bowl games, winning two as an assistant coach at Southern Mississippi in the 2007 GMAC Bowl and the 2004 New Orleans Bowl. He took part in the 2010 Capital One Bowl on the staff at Louisiana State University and the 2003 Liberty Bowl at Southern Mississippi.
Changing the culture of the East Texas Baptist Univer-
In his first year as a graduate assistant at Southern Mississippi, he was a part of the 2003 Conference USA Championship with a perfect 8-0 record. In his second stint at Southern Mississippi, they won the Conference USA-East Championship in 2006 at 6-2.
Last year, Eargle’s team broke numerous team and individual records along with putting Jamaine Sherman in the NFL. ETBU also started out 2-0 which was the first time any team had started the season with two straight wins. Eargle also produced ETBU’s first-ever undrafted free agent in Jamaine Sherman. As soon as the NFL Draft was done, Sherman signed a contract with the St. Louis Rams.
He has made coaching stops at the NCAA Division I BCS (Bowl Championship Series) level at Southern Mississippi (’03, ’04, ’06) and Louisiana State University (’09). In 2007 and 2008, he coached at the NCAA Division I FCS (Football Championship Series) level at Nicholls State. Making stops at NCAA Division II programs, he has also coached at Southeastern Oklahoma State (’12), the University of Arkansas-Monticello (’10), and Ouachita Baptist University (’05).
Starting in January 2013, Eargle brings NCAA Division I and II coaching experience to the program. Eargle’s roots are originally from East Texas as he has made coaching stops in Louisiana, Arkansas, Mississippi, and Oklahoma before coming back home.
Under his guidance, he has had 10 players earn firstteam all-conference and 17 players earn an all-conference award. At every program he has coached for, at least one player has earned a first-team all-conference award.
“I am very pleased to have Joshua Eargle as the new Head Football Coach at East Texas Baptist University,” stated Director of Athletics Kent Reeves. “Coach Eargle is a solid Christian man who will motivate our young men to be great both on the field and off. We are excited to have Joshua and his family coming to join the ETBU family.”
At Southeastern Oklahoma State in 2012 as the defensive coordinator, his pass defense was the 11th best in NCAA Division II and first in the Great American Conference. The overall defense finished 29th in the nation out of 156 programs and was third in the Great Amercian Conference.
sity football team Joshua Eargle is entering his second year as the head coach. Eargle set a new standard in 2013 that is paving the way for a bright future.
Eargle is very familiar with East Texas and recruited this area for Nicholls State, the University of Arkansas-Monticello, and Ouachita Baptist University. He has also coached in the area as the defensive coordinator for Hallsville High School in 2011 when they were Bi-District finalists. Coming from Sulphur Springs, Texas, where he was a Texas Sports Writers 4A All-State lineman, he played for his uncle, Chuck King, before moving on to the University of Memphis where he was a three-year letterman.
The 2001 graduate of the University of Memphis was an offensive guard that earned the Top Tiger Award which was presented by head coach Tommy West. He finished with a degree in Exercise and Sport Science. He then earned a Master’s Degree in sports administration from the University of Southern Mississippi in 2004. He is married to Kristen and they have two daughters

LAST WEEK ETBU 58, SOUTHWESTERN 34
MARSHALL, Texas – It was a dominant third quarter that was the difference in the game as East Texas Baptist University held Southwestern University (1-1) to no points en route to a 58-34 win. Taking just a 31-27 lead into the locker room, ETBU scored 20 points in the third quarter and held the Pirates scoreless for a 51-27 lead. “Our kids did a great job of just calming down at halftime and taking a deep breath and then settling in in the third quarter, especially on the defensive side of the ball,” says head coach Joshua Eargle. “I thought we got better this week and I am really proud of the defense in what they did in the second half.” With 8:05 left in the second quarter, Southwestern took a three-point lead, 27-24, and the momentum as it looked like they were starting to control the game. ETBU had two three-and-outs on their next two possessions handing the ball back to Southwestern with 3:31 left in the half. The defense stepped up and sacked Southwestern’s quarterback on a third and four along with a penalty making the Pirates punt. After Southwestern got the ball off for a 32-yard punt it was called back due to a holding penalty. The next snap changed the way the game would go as a bad snap landed the ball on the one-yard line where Hunter Jameson recovered it and fell into the endzone for a touchdown pushing ETBU ahead, 31-27, with just 1:27 left in the half. That quick change shifted the momentum ETBU’s way for good. ETBU produced 480 yards of total offense as 294 yards came on the ground. Toi Glover rushed for 126 yards on just five carries recording one touchdown. Eight different players touched the ball for ETBU as Jourdan McNeill had 10 carries for 80 yards. Josh Warbington was 12-of-25 for 186 yards and one touchdown to Tyler Bates who finished with 95 yards receiving. Stephen Alfred also added 91 yards receiving. Hardy Hill provided another strong performance on defense leading the team with 10 tackles. It was an all around defensive team effort as recorded five sacks, two interceptions, forcing five fumbles and recovering four. Desmond Oliver grabbed three of the five sacks while Dominque Bailey went 40 yards on a ‘pick 6’ and Dylan Bowman had the other interception.
MILLSAPS 30, MT. ST. JOSEPH 22
CINCINNATI, OH- The Millsaps Majors picked up their first win of the season, scoring 27 unanswered points in a 30-22 win at the Mount Saint Joseph Lions on Saturday. Zak Thrasher threw for 329 yards and three touchdowns to help lead the comeback. The senior connected on 22 of 29 passes and hit three different Majors for a score. Sophomore defensive end Justin Broussard also played a key role with two sacks – both coming on fourth down to stop the Lobos. Broussard added 10 tackles and 3.5 tackles for a loss, but maybe even more impressive was his three forced fumbles. The Millsaps’ defense limited the Lions to just 128 yards passing and 200 yards of total offense. Alex Jackson led the defense with eight tackles. Eric Martin had three tackles for loss and one of five Major sacks on the day, Semmes White another. Zach Bell had two more tackles for loss and broke up a pair of passes. (from gomajors.com)

This is an excellent University for students who are interested in the best in learning, living, and faith. One of the advantages of the American system of higher education is the great diversity of institutions, and ETBU is one of only a few remaining distinctly Christian universities. At ETBU, we believe that all truth is God’s truth so we study and learn from a Christian worldview. Most colleges and universities in our nation today separate faith and learning. We integrate them. And, while we accept students of all faiths and no faith, we are unapologetically committed to fulfilling God’s call for us as an institution under the banner of the Lord Jesus Christ. If you or someone you know would flourish in a university setting characterized by close community, meaningful interaction, excellent teaching, robust student life, and a desire not just to earn a degree but to also fulfill God’s purpose for his or her life, explore our website and then come to campus and experience for yourself why we are so excited about East Texas Baptist University. Go Tigers! Dr. Lawrence Ressler, Interim President
Now in his 18th year as Director of Athletics at East Texas Baptist University, Kent Reeves has presided over the Tigers’ transformation into a solid member of the NCAA Division III ranks. Reeves, who remains the winningest coach in women’s basketball at ETBU, stepped down as women’s basketball coach in 1997 to assume full-time duties as athletic director. He also was named the university’s first softball coach that year and laid the foundation for a program that has become one of the best in the nation annually. Under Reeves’ guidance as AD the department has grown from just five sports in 1997 to 14 in 2014, with the addition of men’s and women’s tennis and track & field. ETBU athletics programs have consistently competed for championships in the American Southwest Conference, with 11 conference titles and 17 ASC division titles since joining the Division III ranks in 1998-99. ETBU teams have combined to make 51 conference tournament appearances since 1998, and the Tiger softball program claimed the university’s first NCAA national championship in 2010. Facility upgrades have also been a staple of Reeves’ time as athletic director. Since 1997, ETBU has added new playing facilities for softball, football, soccer, and tennis. Various upgrades and improvements have been added to each athletics program on campus over the last 10 years. Reeves arrived at ETBU as women’s basketball coach in 1987. When he decided to step down as basketball coach following the 1996-97 season, Reeves had directed the Tigers to an average of 20 wins per season in his 10 years as coach. He finished with 206 wins and his teams made nine NAIA postseason appearances. As softball coach from 1998-2000, Reeves built the program from scratch and culminated with the program’s first ASC championship in 2000. He assumed AD-only duties after that season but returned to the dugout in a pinch for the 2004 season. That year, the Tigers posted a then program-record 41 wins. He then took another year off before returning for the 2006-07 seasons finishing with 183 wins over six seasons. Reeves is active in the Marshall community, serving in the Marshall Lions Club as well as being a deacon at Central Baptist Church. He and his wife Mary Beth have two daughters: Kendra, who is married to Austin Skipworth, and Taylor, who is a recent graduate of Baylor University and was married this past summer.
