QUICK FACTS
2009 MEDIA GUIDE FROM THE PRESIDENT Soccer is a great game, and Cornish Field is one of the most beautiful places to watch the game I have ever seen. When you are between the rows of pine trees watching our men play soccer, you’ll enjoy every minute of the experience. We are excited to be playing another season of soccer with high expectations for our well-respected program. This promises to be a strong year for the Tigers under Head Coach Jose Alonzo. Although the media guide gives facts and figures about the men who play and coach, we also hope that you’ll be able to see their hearts as they play the game. We hope you’ll notice their character as well as their competitive drive. And we hope that you know they are as committed to academic pursuits as they are to winning on the field. At East Texas Baptist University our student athletes are student athletes. These men are not playing for a scholarship, but for the love of the game. And, we play soccer because we believe it contributes to the educational mission of the University. These students are learning not just in the classrooms, but in team meetings, through diligent practice, by lifting weights and conditioning their bodies, in one-on-one conversations with coaches and fellow players, and on the field. As a University, we’re also committed to the truth found in Scripture that reminds us, “physical training is of some value, but godliness has value for all things, holding promise for both the present life and the life to come” 1 Timothy 4:3. This soccer team is being fit for success in this life and the life to come. That, to me, is a good reason to cheer them on. GO TIGERS!

EAST TEXAS BAPTIST UNIVERSITY
Academic instruction at East Texas Baptist University began in 1917 with the inaugural session of a two-year institution known as College of Marshall... The campaign to launch the college had begun in 1911 and was led by William Thomas Tardy, pastor of Marshall’s First Baptist Church. Tardy negotiated the purchase of 100 acres of the original K. M. Van Zandt family plantation for $25,000. Keeping 50 of the 100 acres on Van Zandt Hill in northwest Marshall, the college subdivided and sold the remaining property. Marshall’s citizens subscribed another $70,000, and the Baptist General Convention of Texas assumed control of the college, appropriating $40,000 for buildings and furnishings. The trustees applied for and received a charter from the State of Texas in 1912, and Thurman C. Gardner, an early day Baptist Training Union leader, became the first president in 1913. For the first building, Marshall Hall, contractors broke ground on July 5, 1915. Of neoclassical architecture and completed in 1916, Marshall Hall crowned the highest point in Harrison County. The robust building was a self-contained educational
facility with a ground floor gymnasium, main floor administrative offices, laboratories, and library, third floor classrooms, and a chapel/theatre on the top floor. The first freshman class registered in 1917 under President Henry Eugene Watters (1916-1918). The college boasted a teaching faculty of nine members. By the academic year 1918-19, some 300 students were enrolled in either a junior college or an academy curriculum. With World War I raging, a student cavalry unit drilled regularly on the college grounds. New dormitories soon encircled the classic campus quadrangle. In 1924, Dr. Franklin S. Groner, the Secretary of the Baptist General Convention of Texas, conveyed the Baptists’ commitment to assume the college debt if the Marshall Chamber of Commerce would supply $12,500 annually for five years, enabling it to remain open. Leading the college during the trying days of The Great Depression, Dr. Franklin Groner (192842) assumed the presidency and instituted a permanent endow-
ment program. In 1935, an additional 43 acres were purchased, including the land and buildings of the St. Joseph’s Boys Industrial Orphanage, some of which was converted to men’s housing. In 1938, Baptist layman and builder Fred Hale broke ground for Laura Groner Hall, a modern residence hall for women. A reduced replica of Mt. Vernon, the stunning structure stood complete in 1940, its austere construction having cost only $10,500. World War II robbed the campus of its men and resources. By 1943, only 137 students remained. In 1944, the trustees, making perhaps the most important decision in the institution’s history, asked the Baptist General Convention of Texas to elevate the college to four-year status and to change the name to East Texas Baptist College. A former pastor of First Baptist Church, Midland, Texas, Dr. Harvey Daniel Bruce (19421960), the college’s ninth president, oversaw a vigorous postwar enrollment and building boom. Veterans arrived on campus, many bringing their families, and enrollment briefly surpassed 800. Prefabricated war surplus family housing was erected on the campus perimeter. The college added Scarborough Chapel in 1948, which was built in the neo-Gothic style. Also added were Feagin Hall, a new men’s residence facility; a cafeteria and student center; and additions to the women’s residence hall, which was renamed for Merle Bruce, wife of the college president. Two ornate, neo-classical buildings were added in the 1950s, Sanderson Hall (now Craig Hall) to house the laboratory sciences departments, and Harvey Daniel Bruce Hall as the new library/administrative complex. Keys Gymnasium was built in 1960. In 1961 a new women’s residence hall, named after Evelyn Linebery, with its long portico and roomy plantation-
EAST TEXAS BAPTIST UNIVERSITY style architecture, was completed. Dr. Bruce labored to establish a liberal arts tradition, along with strong degree programs in Bible and religion. His administration’s crowning achievement came in 1957 when the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools granted accreditation to East Texas Baptist College. Under Dr. Howard C. Bennett as president (1960-76), the academic program established enduring credibility. Dr. Bennett, the former pastor of First Baptist Church, Kilgore, oversaw construction of the new Howard C. Bennett Student Center in 1973. Dr. Jerry Dawson (1976-85), who had been Graduate Dean at Southwest Texas State University, became the first professional educator to lead the college. By 1982, the postwar “baby boom” peaked and enrollment stood at 920 students. A spacious new president’s home replaced the stately residence that Drs. Bruce and Bennett had occupied. After the opening of the Mamye Jarrett Library in 1979, H. D. Bruce Hall became available for the Religion and Teacher Education departments. Married students occupied several new brick housing units. Charles Fry Hall for Men was opened. As age claimed some of the original college buildings, the older men’s dormitory, buildings of the old orphanage, and various frame and prefabricated structures were dismantled during the 1970s and 1980s. In 1984 the University Charter revision changed the institutional name to East Texas Baptist University. However, by 1985, enrollment gains had eroded. During the interim presidency of Dr. Harvey Lewis (1985-86), the University met various deferred maintenance and operating needs. The former president of two other Baptist institutions from
1961 to 1986, Dr. Robert Craig (1986-1992) launched a building program of unprecedented proportions, including the Fred Hale Business Building in 1988-89. Other subsequent construction projects were the Jenna Guest Music Building, the Louise Rogers Spiritual Life Center, now known as the Ornelas Spiritual Life Center; major additions to the Bennett Student Center, construction of the Clifford Nelson Murphy Science Hall, and the Mabee Housing Complex. The untimely death of Dr. Craig in March 1992, only two months prior to his announced retirement, was followed by the leadership of Dr. Bob
ETB E. Riley (1992-2009), who had been President of the Howard County Junior College District in Big Spring, Texas. Under Dr. Riley, the University experienced record student enrollments. The campus continued to develop under President Riley’s leadership with the 1995 completion of the Dean Healthplex and Ornelas Gymnasium. Fall 1996 found the opening of The Joseph and Louise Ornelas Residential Complex and the renovation of Marshall Hall, which was completed in 1997. Meadows Hall, which houses the Murphy Instructional Technology Center and the Department of Mathematics was renovated and occupied beginning with the fall semester of 1999. The University Apartments opened in fall 2002, and the renovation of Scarborough Chapel into Scarborough Hall was complete in January 2004. Dr. Riley completed his 17th year at ETBU in 2008-09 after having announced his retirement in May of 2008. Dr. Dub Oliver was named President-elect of ETBU in the fall of 2008 and assumed the office officially on June 1, 2009. As the University seeks to streamline academic planning and to continue development of its academic and co-curricular programs, the task remains, as always, to affirm and focus the ETBU mission, to see God active in all its parts, and to sustain faithfully the ethical, spiritual, and intellectual foundations of a truly Christian liberal arts education.

UNIVERSITY ADMINISTRATION Dr. Dub Oliver PRESIDENT B.S.E., Baylor University, 1987 M.S.E., Texas A&M University, 1991 Ph.D., Texas A&M University, 2001
Dr. Dub Oliver was elected as the 12th President of East Texas Baptist University by the university Board of Trustees on Oct. 15, 2008. He officially became President on June 1, 2009, succeeding Dr. Bob E. Riley who retired after 17 years of service to ETBU. Dr. Oliver was Vice President for Student Life at Baylor University in Waco, Texas, from 2005-2008. He had been employed in various positions at Baylor for 16 years upon his election as President of ETBU. “After an extensive nation-wide search, Dr. Dub Oliver comes to ETBU very highly recommended to lead this university as its next President,” said Board of Trustees Chair Hal Cornish, who also served as the chair of the Presidential Search Committee. “His credentials as a senior administrator are very extensive and impressive.” Dr. Oliver and his wife, Susie, along with their daughter, Callie, expressed excitement upon joining the ETBU family. “Susie and I are humbled and excited to have this opportunity to serve at East Texas Baptist University,” said Dr. Oliver. “We’re thankful for the Presidential Search Committee, the Board of Trustees, President Bob and Gayle Riley, and the ETBU family who have been so welcoming and encouraging to us.” A native of San Antonio, Texas, Oliver is a graduate of Baylor University with a Bachelor of Science degree in Education. He holds a Master of Science degree in Educational Psychology from Texas A&M University. Oliver earned his Doctor of Philosophy degree in Educational Administration from Texas A&M as well. He is also a licensed and ordained Baptist minister having served from October 2003 to May 2009 as the pastor of Canaan Baptist Church of Crawford, Texas. Dr. Oliver came to Baylor in April 1992 from Texas A&M University to serve as Director of Student Activities. In June 1999, he took on additional responsibilities as the Associate Dean for Campus Life. Then, in June 2001, Dr. Oliver was promoted to be the Dean for Student Development, a post he held until June 2005 when he was named Assistant Vice President for Student Life. For a year he served as Interim Vice President for Student Life before being named the Vice President for Student Life. Dr. Oliver has also served Baylor as a Visiting Professor in the Hankamer School of Business, an Adjunct Professor in the School of Education, and Interim University Chaplain. He served in the United States Air Force stationed at Carswell Air Force Base in the late 1980’s. Before entering graduate school, he was a third-grade teacher in the Fort Worth Independent School District. Dr. Oliver’s wife, Susie, is was an adjunct faculty member and full-time cheerleader coach at Baylor. Their daughter, Callie, will be a senior in high school in 2009-10. “Dr. Oliver comes very highly recommended by the Provost of Baylor, Dr. Randall O’Brien, who has recently been named President of Carson-Newman College,” said Cornish. “We believe Dr. Oliver will be the ideal person to lead an already outstanding Christian university into the 21st century.” “East Texas Baptist University, near the conclusion of its first century of service and at the beginning of a new century of faithfulness, is well positioned for increased excellence in all its endeavors. In doing so, the University will, by God’s grace, become an even brighter light on the hill to a world that is desperately in need,” said Dr. Oliver.

JOSE ALONZO HEAD MEN’S SOCCER COACH 903-923-2268 jalonzo@etbu.edu Jose Alonzo completed his 14th season as head coach of ETBU’s men’s soccer program in 2008. Alonzo joined the ETBU staff in 1994 to start the university’s men’s soccer program from scratch. Alonzo’s first team provided a glimpse of things to come in the program. The 1995 Tigers finished 19-3-0 and won the Big State Conference. In the two years after that, with ETBU moving to the NCAA Division II level and joining the Heart of Texas Conference, Alonzo’s teams won HOT North Zone championships in 1996 and 1997 with a combined mark of 31-9 those two seasons. ETBU’s move to the NCAA Division III ranks in 1998 forced the Tigers’ playoff goals to change somewhat, as ETBU competed in the National Christian College Athletic Association while becoming a provisional D-III member. The Tiger soccer program responded with its best three-year run in the history of the program -- a combined 60-12-2 mark over the three years that included back-to-back NCCAA national championships in 1998-99. The 1998 team still ranks as the best ever in the history of the program, with a 23-1-1 record that included the first of those two NCCAA titles. In 2000, ETBU was still ineligible for the ASC championship but finished 18-5-1 and made a third straight appearance in the NCCAA national tournament. But a rash of injuries at the end of the year cut short the Tigers chances of a third straight national title. ETBU’s first season as a full-fledged NCAA member in 2001 saw the Tigers finish short of 15 wins in a season for the first time in program history. The Tigers came back in 2002 with an 8-8-1 mark before falling to back-to-back five-win seasons in 2003-04.
Overall, Alonzo still has one of the most impressive resumes ever by an ETBU coach in any program on campus -- a 161-90-6 overall record (.626 winning percentage), three conference championships and two national championships. He also has an NCCAA National Coach of the Year honor, following his team’s 1998 national championship. Alonzo received a BBA in Marketing and a B.S. and M.S. in Agriculture from Stephen F. Austin State University. He added a teacher’s certificate in Spanish and ESL from the University of Texas-Tyler in 1991. In the spring of 2000, he was awarded his Masters in Spanish from Texas A&M University-
Commerce. While attending SFA, Alonzo played soccer for four years while coaching the women’s team for a short time. He was an assistant coach at Marshall High School for three years, where he also taught ESL and Spanish. He was also a member of the Honduran National Basketball Team, an experience which allowed him to have two big thrills in his career: playing against the Harlem Globetrotters and meeting NBA Hall of Fame center Bill Russell. Besides coaching the Tigers, Alonzo also teaches Spanish at ETBU. Jose and his wife, Tami, have three children: Micah, Anna and Gabriel.

He was also the school’s Physical Education Coordinator. From 2004-07, Grant also served as a volunteer assistant soccer coach at Tyler Junior College, where he worked primarily with goalkeepers and also was a recruiter.
From 1998-2007, Grant was also club director for East Texas Spirit Soccer Club, where he coached both boys and girls teams, organized tournament travel and prepared budgets. Grant has also been an experienced camp leader, running a Kicks for Kids camp from 2000-02 and working the SMU Soccer Camp from 19962000. He also served as an Olympic Development Program Goalkeeper Coach in 2001 as well as serving as All Saints Adventure Camp Director in 2002.

CORNISH FIELD
East Texas Baptist University dedicated the Cornish Soccer Field on Friday, August 31, 2007. The dedication ceremony was held before the Lady Tiger soccer match with Hendrix College. “It has been my privilege to serve on the ETBU Board of Trustees for the last several years and as Vice Chairman for the past two years,” said Harold Cornish. “My wife, Joyce, and I are honored to be closely associated with ETBU’s fine faculty, staff , and students. It is a very special honor for us to have the recently upgraded soccer field to bear our name.” Harold and Joyce Cornish of Marshall, donated the funds which allowed the University to revamp
the facility. The lighted field, built in 2000, is located on the north edge of the campus and is the home of the ETBU soccer teams. The improvement to the facility included installation of permanent bleachers, concrete walkways, a retaining wall that will allow fans to bring their own lawn chairs and enjoy the games, and a wrought iron decorative fence on the south side of the field as well as updated fencing around the entire field. The entrance is bricked with a decorative archway bearing the name of the donor. Opened in 2002, the facility is accessible by a road -- Baker Boulevard, courtesy of Mr. and Mrs. Ed Baker -- that runs down the west side of Ornelas
Stadium on the north end of campus. The soccer field runs east to west with bleachers to the south side of the field. The north side is used for team benches and scorers table. A platform over the scorers table is used for video. A large soccer scoreboard sits at the east end of the complex. Lights were added to the facility in the fall of 2005. The lights were purchased with a gift in honor of former Lady Tiger Brooke Adair, a 2000-03 fouryear letterwinner at ETBU.

ETBU ATHLETICS Kent Reeves DIRECTOR OF ATHLETICS B.S.E., John Brown University M.S.E., Arkansas State University
Kent Reeves completed his 12th year as full-time athletic director at East Texas Baptist University in 2008-09. Since stepping down as the all-time winningest coach in Lady Tiger basketball in 1997 to become full-time AD, Reeves has guided ETBU’s transformation from NAIA and NCAA Division II status to full membership within NCAA Division III. Under his watch, the program has ballooned to 10 varsity sports from the five that existed when he became athletic director on June 1, 1997. “We’ve added football, men’s and women’s soccer, softball and men’s cross country, and we’re looking to add men’s and women’s tennis,” says Reeves when looking back over his first decade as athletic director. “I’d say another one of hte real positive things I’m proud we’ve been able to accomplish is that we have also built some first-class athletic facilities as well as making nice upgrades to our existing facilities.” Reeves joined the ETBU coaching staff in 1987 as the head coach for women’s basketball. Taking over a program that was 10 years old at the time, Reeves quickly built an NAIA national title contender that averaged over 20 wins per season in his decade on the bench. In his 10 seasons as head women’s basketball coach, Reeves posted 206 wins and his teams won five Big State Conference championships and made nine postseason appearances. He stepped down following the 1996-97 season to become the university’s full-time athletic director while also taking on another challenge. As part of the university’s expansion of the athletic program, Reeves agreed to also become the head coach of a softball program that would begin play in the spring of 1998 as a member of the Heart of Texas Conference. His first recruiting class produced an eventual six All-Americans over the next four years, and Reeves piled up 83 wins in three full seasons as head softball coach. In his third season, in 2000, the Lady Tigers won the first American Southwest Conference championship in the history of ETBU athletics since the university had become a member of the ASC and Division III in 1998. Following that season, Reeves gave up coaching to focus on his athletic director duties. Football was added in the fall of 2000, along with men’s and cross country, giving ETBU 10 varsity athletic sports. When Reeves arrived at ETBU in 1987 as women’s basketball coach, only three programs -- men’s and women’s basketball, and baseball -- existed on campus. But in his first four years as athletic director, the university had added softball, women’s soccer, men’s and women’s cross country and football. Reeves went back into coaching in 2004, when he had to step in and take over the softball program once more due to a mid-year coaching change. Taking over a senior-laden program that had won the ASC championship every year since he’d left, Reeves coached the Lady Tigers to a school-record 41 wins as well as helping ETBU attain its first-ever No. 1 national ranking in any sport. He also guided the Lady Tigers to a fifth straight conference championship that season. He immediately stepped down again following that season, but came back to take over the program for a third time in the summer of 2005. After coaching the softball team in 2006 and 2007, Reeves once again took off his coaching hat to assume athletic director-only duties. However, in his six total seasons in the dugout, Reeves compiled a 183-84-1 mark and is now the university’s all-time winningest coach in two different sports. Reeves is also very active in the Marshall community, serving vice president of the Marshall Lions Club as well as serving as a deacon at Central Baptist Church. In his time away from the office, he enjoys playing golf, fishing and working in his yard. Reeves received his Bachelor of Science in Education from John Brown University and also holds a Master of Science in Education from Arkansas State University. Kent and his wife, Mary Beth, have two daughters, Kendra and Taylor. Taylor is a sophomore at Baylor University, while Kendra is married to Austin Skipworth.
