2011 APPALACHIAN VOLLEYBALL 2011 SEASON PREVIEW Fifth-year head coach Matt Ginipro recently sat down to discuss the 2011 squad. Ginipro on the team’s expectations for 2011: Hopefully our fans know that we have an annual goal of winning the SoCon Championship. That is our one program goal that is chiseled in stone each year. The things we need to do to achieve that may change, but that goal is written in permanent ink and will always be what we strive for. This year, we’ve set a goal of getting more production out of our left side attack. I think this is a major area of improvement for our team and, if we can do that with consistency, we’ll be battling for that trophy. Another thing we’re pushing the players on as a staff is our execution on every contact of the ball. Since we’re a pretty veteran group, we’re really putting pressure on the returnees to execute and not let lapses in focus cost us points. Less as an expectation and more of a really big desire, I’m hoping our fans can create the match atmosphere that makes the Holmes Center the most difficult place to play in the SoCon. We’ve been slowly increasing our attendance at matches over the past few seasons, and I’d just like to take the next step and start creating a loud, crazy environment that our opponents hate to deal with when they come to Boone. Having that type of atmosphere should help us win those key matches at home on our path towards a championship. Ginipro on the tough slate in 2011: I feel like we put together a very good schedule for this fall. We wanted to do a few things with our schedule. First, we wanted to play a challenging non-conference slate to prepare us for the difficult SoCon season. We have a Big 12 team, two ACC teams, along with teams like Belmont, James Madison, Kennesaw State and Morehead State who were picked to finish at the top of their conferences. Playing teams of this caliber forces us to play at our best in every match, which only helps us when we enter SoCon play. Second, we want to continue moving this program up the RPI ranks. I believe this year’s schedule does just that.

Kasey Sauls 6 | 2011 Appalachian State Volleyball

POSITION BREAKDOWNS

Setter We have two fantastic setters in our gym, which is a wonderful thing to have. Both played big roles in our successes last year and both are looking forward to leading this team in 2011. Kasey Sauls is looking to do big things in her final year in a Black & Gold jersey. In her past three years, she has been a major part of the overhaul of our program and her leadership is invaluable to this team. As a senior, and as a captain, she is leading the entire team down the path towards a championship. Lauren Brown gained some great experience last year as a freshman in our 6-2 offense. A big reason why we were able to run a two-setter offense last year was because Lauren came in with such a high skill set. Because of the amount of playing time she earned last year, she came back with a lot more confidence and her leadership on the court has increased as well. Middle Hitter Losing one of the best blocking middle hitters in the country in Caroline Sedon will be a big hole to fill, but we are hoping our new offensive system will generate some more kills from this position this year. It’s great to know that we return Alison Blasingame who did an outstanding job in her first year as a Mountaineer in 2010. She will be the anchor of our middle attack and serve as a great role model for Jessica Eley and Lauren Gray. Jess worked very hard this summer to improve in all skill areas and has been doing a great job this preseason. We’re still working on her consistency as an attacker, but Jess brings the hard work necessary for this position. Lauren is a very quick, very athletic middle hitter. Once she gets used to the speed of the college, she’s going to do great things for Appalachian State.

a lot out of Court this year as our leader in the back row. Court had some big shoes to fill after Cassie Engelgau graduated in 2009, and she did just that. After a full year playing the libero position for us in 2010, she has gained more confidence and I look for her to be in charge of our overall defense and serve receiving. Outside Hitter Probably the position we are looking to improve the most in 2011, we are looking for a lot more offensive production in this position. Seniors Kelly Rhein and Anna Wagner will be called upon to set the example for this entire group. Both bring different things and both can help us win a conference championship. Anna has the highest volleyball IQ in this group and uses a variety of shots to score points, while Kelly is an incredible athlete with a powerful swing. Lindsey Sauls had a great redshirt year for us in 2010 and improved greatly. I’m definitely looking forward to having her on the court for the next four years. Newcomer Jacqui Spurgeon had a very good preseason for us. She started off on the right side, but I wanted to see if she’d add to our left side group, and she has. Right now, her serve receive needs the most work, but she attacks aggressively and is putting some pressure on our older outside hitters.

Libero This may very well be the strongest position for us on the court with the return of Courtney Rhein. After an All-Conference year in 2010, I’m expecting

Right Side Hitter Another reason we ran a two-setter offense last year is because I didn’t want to have either Maggie Seeds or Meghann Forshey sitting on the bench when they could be scoring points for us. Both have the potential of being dominating attackers for us, and the changes we’ve made offensively directly benefit their roles on our team. Meghann came back to Boone this fall wanting to be one of the best players on this team, and she has led all of our practice rankings throughout preseason. She’s a fun player to watch and her energy is contagious. Maggie is another high-energy player that our fans will enjoy watching on the court. She is probably our biggest blocker and her main job will be to shut down opposing teams’ outside hitters.

2011 APPALACHIAN VOLLEYBALL

MATT GINIPRO

Matt Ginipro became the eighth volleyball head coach in Appalachian State University volleyball history on June 2, 2007. 2010 was an impressive campaign for Ginipro and the Apps, as the team posted the second-most wins under Ginipro’s tenure and the fewest losses, compiling an 18-12 mark. ASU also went 9-7 in the ever-challenging SoCon North Division good enough for a third place finish. Racing out to an impressive start, the Mountaineers were spotless through their first six matches of the season, going 6-0, the best start for the program dating back to 1981. During the 2010 season, ASU was also very strong defensively, as Ginipro oversaw senior middle blocker Caroline Sedon who ranked 15th in the country in blocks per set and libero Courtney Rhein earned second-team all-conference honors, the squad’s first all-conference honoree since 2007. After a challenging 2008 season, Ginipro guided the Black and Gold back to dominance, as the Apps propelled to the top of the SoCon North Division in 2009. The Mountaineers earned a 14-17 overall record, including a 10-6 league mark, and reeled off three-straight must-win victories at the end of the regular season to capture one of just four total coveted spots in the conference tournament. The 2009 season was highlighted by a stout 9-3 home record, the most wins in the Holmes Center since 2006 and thrilling victories over previously unbeaten in SoCon play Samford, and division rivals UNCG and Elon. In 2008, the squad posted a 7-25 record, including a 3-15 mark in conference action. The Apps captured impressive wins over Wofford and Western Carolina and lost four SoCon matches by a score of 3-2, with three of those losses coming against SoCon Tournament champion Furman, SoCon North Division champion Samford and SoCon South Division champion College of Charleston. During the 2007 season, Ginipro led the Mountaineers to a 19-14 record and second-place finish in the Southern Conference. He was named the SoCon Coach of the Year for his efforts. Under his guidance, Brittany Zahn was named the SoCon Player of the Year and the program’s second-ever AVCA All-American. The 2007 squad also saw Dianna Thomas become the program’s first Academic All-American. Along with an 11-match winning streak late in the season, Ginipro pushed the team to a 14-4 conference record and an appearance in the Southern Conference Championship semi-final round. The team recorded another milestone with the first Mountaineer win at College of Charleston since the 1999 campaign. His program’s efforts have not gone unnoticed on the recruiting trail either, as the 2010 incoming class was ranked among one of the nation’s best, earning an honorable mention among top recruiting classes in the country from PrepVolleyball.com. ASU was the only conference school to make any of the three lists. Ginipro arrived in Boone with 12 years of collegiate coaching experience under his belt after serving as the first assistant coach and recruiting coordinator at the University of Virginia for six years. In March of 2007, he was promoted to associate head coach at UVa. At Virginia, Ginipro was responsible for coaching the Cavaliers’ setters and outside hitters and served as the program’s recruiting coordinator. During his six seasons at UVa., the team went a combined 105-82 and posted 19-plus win seasons in his final four years. His 2006 squad finished second in the ACC with a school-record 16 conference wins at 16-6 and posted a 23-8 overall record as Ginipro’s 2007 recruiting class earned Highest Honorable Mention ranking from PrepVolleyball.com. Ginipro joined the Virginia coaching staff in May of 2001 after serving as an assistant coach at the University of Mississippi during the 2000 season. At Mississippi, Ginipro was responsible for coaching the outside hitters and primary passers, as well as serving as the recruiting coordinator. He helped Ole Miss earn one of eight spots in the SEC tournament after the team won only one conference match during the 1999 season. Prior to coaching at Ole Miss, Ginipro spent four years as an assistant coach at Virginia Tech, serving as the first assistant coach for the 1997, 1998 and 1999 seasons. His duties included coaching the setters, right-side hitters, recruiting and coordinating the team’s offense. Ginipro graduated from Virginia Tech in 1993 with a bachelor’s degree in psychology and a minor in sociology. He earned a master’s in counselor education from Radford in 1996. Ginipro was a member of Virginia Tech’s men’s club volleyball team and served as captain and coach for three seasons. He helped lead the Hokies to the 1992 and 1993 Collegiate Club Championships as the starting setter. A native of Smithtown, N.Y., Ginipro is married to the former Roxanne Furey of Blacksburg, Va. The couple has an 14-year-old daughter, Kirsten Nicole and a ten-year-old son, Nicholas Kyle.

2011 APPALACHIAN VOLLEYBALL 2010 SEASON REVIEW Appalachian State University volleyball posted an impressive 2010 season with 18 wins, a 9-7 Southern Conference mark and third place finish in the league’s North Division. The Black and Gold wasted no time getting off to a strong start, as the Mountaineers were stellar in their opening preseason tournaments. ASU raced to a 6-0 record to start the season, the program’s best beginning to a campaign since 1981. Appalachian was victorious at the High Point Tournament, routing NC A&T and UNC Wilmington by 3-0 margins. In the final contest of the tournament, host High Point provided a challenge, but ASU edged the Panthers for a 3-2 victory and the tournament title. The Black and Gold then stepped out of tournament action to take on former conference foe East Tennnessee State. ASU bested the Lady Bucs in four hardfought sets. ASU then welcomed three team to the High Country for the 2010 Appalachian Invitational and home opener. The squad swept Eastern Kentucky and USC Upstate to improve to a spotless 6-0 to begin the season. The Mountaineers then fell just short in the tournament finale against Valparaiso, dropping a 3-1 decision to the highlytalented Crusaders. Competition continued to pick up and proved to be challenging as both the Akron Invitational and Tar Heel Challenge tested the well-rounded ASU team. ASU posted a 2-1 mark at the Akron

Invitational, beating both host Akron and Saint Francis (Pa.) before losing to Indiana State. In the final preseason tournament, the Apps notched just one win, beating Temple 3-1, while suffering tough losses to North Carolina and Ball State. Carrying its solid play and momentum into league action, ASU recorded an early 3-0 conference mark, routing The Citadel, Western Carolina and Elon as the calendar flipped over to October. Appalachian’s first conference loss came at the hands of a hard-hitting UNCG team who took a 3-0 match from ASU. Facing stiff competition in the SoCon, Appalachian downed defending North Division champion Samford, 3-1, on the Bulldogs’ home floor and ended up sweeping the season series against

COURTNEY RHEIN Samford. The Mountaineers also swept divisional opponent Western Carolina, split the season series with the eventual 2010 North Division champion Elon and was unable to come up with a win in two tries against UNCG. South Division foes proved to be tough as well, as ASU handily beat Wofford and Davidson, before falling short against Furman, 2010 South Division champion College of Charleston and Georgia Southern. Seeking to win a SoCon title on its home floor, for the first time since 2006, the Apps played host to the 2010 SoCon Tournament. Earning the No. 3 seed in

LAUREN SWECKER the North, ASU took on a solid Georgia Southern and was unable to come away with a win against the eventual tournament champion, falling 3-1 to close out the season. Defense was the strength for Appalachian during the 2010 campaign, as the team finished 13th in NCAA Division I in blocks per set. Dominant at the net, defensive stalwart and senior middle blocker Caroline Sedon greatly contributed to that effort, finishing 15th in NCAA Division I in blocks per set, averaging 1.35. Sedon closed out her career with Appalachian in style, the Ohio native ranked second in the conference in 2010 in blocks per set. Cementing her impressive career, Sedon finished her career in third on Appalachian’s all-time block assists list. She is also ranked on the individual match and individual season records lists for block assists. Sophomore libero Courtney Rhein also contributed to the team’s defensive efforts, as the libero was named secondteam all-SoCon. Also earning conference honors, junior middle blocker Alison Blasingame was the team’s lone player to earn a Player of the Week honor. The Virginia Tech transfer was named the SoCon Defensive Player of the Week for the week of September 6. Seniors Sedon and Lauren Swecker greatly contributed to the teams’ successes during the 2010 season. Sedon, totaled 134 block assists on the season, while Swecker was strong on the offensive front totaling 119 kills.

2011 APPALACHIAN VOLLEYBALL THE SOUTHERN CONFERENCE

he Southern Conference, which is in its 91st season of intercollegiate competition in 2011-12, is a national leader in emphasizing the development of the student-athlete and in helping to build lifelong leaders and role models. The Southern Conference has been on the forefront of innovation and originality in developing creative solutions to address issues facing intercollegiate athletics. From establishing the first conference basketball tournament (1921), tackling the issue of freshmen eligibility (1922), developing women’s championships (1984), to becoming the first conference to install the three-point goal in basketball (1980), the Southern Conference has been a pioneer. The Southern Conference is the nation’s fifth-oldest NCAA Division I collegiate athletic association. Only the Big Ten (1896), the Missouri Valley (1907), the Pacific 10 (1915) and the Southwestern Athletic (1920) conferences are older in terms of origination. Academic excellence has been a major part of the Southern Conference’s tradition. Hundreds of Southern Conference student-athletes have been recognized on ESPN The Magazine/CoSIDA Academic All-America and all-district teams. A total of 19 Rhodes Scholarship winners have been selected from conference institutions. The conference currently consists of 12 members in five states throughout the Southeast and sponsors 19 varsity sports and championships that produce participants for NCAA Division I Championships. The Southern Conference offices are located in the historic Beaumont Mill in Spartanburg, S.C. A textile mill that was in operation from 1880 until 1999, Beaumont Mill was renovated in 2004 and today offers the league first class meeting areas and offices as well as a spacious library for storage of the conference’s historical documents. Membership History n Feb. 25, 1921, representatives from 14 of the Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Association’s (SIAA) 30 members met at Atlanta’s Piedmont Hotel to establish the Southern Intercollegiate Conference. On hand at the inaugural meeting were officials from Alabama, Alabama Polytechnic Institute (Auburn), Clemson, Georgia, Georgia School of Technology (Georgia Tech), Kentucky, Maryland, Mississippi A&M (Mississippi State), North Carolina, North Carolina State, Tennessee, Virginia, Virginia Polytechnic Institute (Virginia Tech) and Washington & Lee. Dr. S.V. Sanford of Georgia was chosen as acting chairman and N.W. Dougherty of Tennessee was named secretary. The decision to form a new athletic conference was motivated by the desire to have a workable number of conference games for each league member. With 30 schools in the SIAA by the early 1920s, it was impossible to play every school at least once during the regular season and many schools went several years between playing some conference members. In addition, in 1920, the SIAA voted down proposed rules that an athlete must be in a college a year before playing on its teams and refused to abolish a rule permitting athletes to play summer baseball for money. Play began in the fall of 1921 and a year later, six more schools joined the fledgling league including Tulane (which had attended the inaugural meeting but had elected not to join), Florida, Louisiana (LSU), Mississippi, South Carolina and Vanderbilt. VMI joined in 1925 and Duke was added in 1929. By the 1930s, membership in the Southern Conference had reached 23 schools. C.P. “Sally” Miles of Virginia Tech, president of the Southern Conference, called the annual league meeting to order on Dec. 9, 1932 at the Farragut Hotel in Knoxville, Tenn. Georgia’s Dr. Sanford announced that 13 institutions west and south of the Appalachian Mountains were reorganizing as the Southeastern Conference. Members of the new league included Alabama, Alabama Polytechnic Institute, Florida, Georgia, Georgia School of Technology, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Mississippi A&M, University of the South, Tennessee, Tulane and Vanderbilt. According to the minutes of the meeting, Dr. Sanford stated that the division was made along geographical lines. Florida’s Dr. J.J. Tigert, acting as spokesman for the withdrawing group, regretted the move but believed it was necessary as the Southern Conference had grown too large. The resignations were accepted and the withdrawing schools formed the new league which began play in 1932. The Southern Conference continued with membership of 10 institutions including Clemson, Duke, Maryland, North Carolina, North Carolina State, South Carolina, Virginia, VMI, Virginia Tech and Washington & Lee. The second major shift occurred some 20 years later. By 1952, the Southern Conference included 17 colleges and universities. Another split occurred when seven schools including Clemson, Duke, Maryland, North Carolina, North Carolina State, South Carolina and Wake Forest departed to form the Atlantic Coast Conference which began play in 1953. The revamped Southern Conference included members The Citadel, Davidson, Furman, George Washington, Richmond, VMI, Virginia Tech, Washington & Lee, West Virginia and William & Mary. Today, the league continues to thrive with a membership that includes 12 institutions and a footprint that spans five states: Tennessee, North Carolina, South Carolina, Alabama and Georgia. Current league members are Appalachian State, College of Charleston, The Citadel, Davidson, Elon, Furman, Georgia Southern, UNC Greensboro, Samford, Chattanooga, Western Carolina and Wofford.

Leadership ohn Iamarino was officially named commissioner of the conference on January 2, 2006. Iamarino has promoted the Southern Conference through an ambitious agenda which has improved competition, upgraded compliancerelated matters, launched the conference’s Hall of Fame and increased the marketing and brand awareness of the conference and its member institutions. The Southern Conference named its first commissioner in December 1950. Duke head football coach Wallace Wade made the transition from Blue Devil football coach to athletics administration as the first person at the helm of the conference. Lloyd Jordan replaced Wade as the commissioner in 1960 and served a 14-year term until Ken Germann became the league head in 1974. Germann was the commissioner for 13 years and orchestrated the league’s expansion to include women’s athletics. In 1987, he was succeeded by Dave Hart who spearheaded the transfer of the league office from Charlotte, N.C., to Asheville, N.C. Wright Waters succeeded Hart upon his retirement in 1991. Under Waters’ leadership, the Southern Conference expanded to 12 members, added three women’s sports and posted record revenue from the basketball tournament. Waters, who is currently the commissioner of the Sun Belt Conference, was followed by Alfred B. White in 1998. White, a veteran member of the NCAA office, introduced the current conference logo and elevated the conference’s commitment to marketing and development of corporate partners. Danny Morrison headed the conference from 2001-2005 and orchestrated the league’s move from Asheville, N.C., to Spartanburg, S.C. Under Morrison’s leadership, the conference increased its marketing and promotional efforts.

COMMISSIONER JOHN IAMARINO

Championship History he first Southern Conference Championship was the league basketball tournament held in Atlanta in 1922. The North Carolina Tar Heels won the tournament to become the first recognized league champion in any sport. The Southern Conference Tournament remains the oldest of its kind in college basketball. Commissioner Germann spearheaded the Southern Conference’s expansion to include women’s athletics during the 1983-84 season. That year, league championships were held in volleyball, basketball and tennis. Cross country joined the mix in 1985 and the league began holding indoor and outdoor track championships in 1988. Most recently, the conference instituted golf and softball championships in the spring of 1994 and added soccer in the fall of 1994. The Germann Cup, named in honor of the former commissioner, annually recognizes the top women’s athletics programs in the conference. From its humble beginnings, women’s athletics have become an integral part of the Southern Conference and its success. The Southern Conference declares champions in 10 men’s sports - football, soccer, cross country, basketball, indoor track and field, outdoor track and field, wrestling, baseball, tennis and golf - and nine women’s sports - soccer, volleyball, cross country, basketball, indoor track and field, outdoor track & field, tennis, golf and softball.

ASU Sweeps SoCon Commissioner’s and Germann Cups

or an unprecedented eighth time, Appalachian State University athletics swept the Southern Conference’s Commissioner’s and Germann Cups for the 2010-11 seasons. Appalachian is the only school to ever win both the Commissioner’s Cup (SoCon’s top men’s all-sports program) and Germann Cup (SoCon’s top women’s all-sports program) in the same academic year, a feat it has now accomplished three times in the past six years and eight times since the inception of the Germann Cup in 1986-87.

ppalachian’s Commissioner’s Cup title is its sixth-straight, 19th in the past 20 years, 26th in the past 28 years and 31st overall. No other conference school has won the Commissioner’s Cup more than five times since its inception in 1969-70 and no current SoCon member besides ASU has claimed it more than once.

hanks to championships in four of the 10 men’s sports, the Mountaineers cruised to this year’s Commissioner’s Cup crown with 91 points in the all-sports standings, 13 better than second-place UNC Greensboro. Appalachian was buoyed to the title by its record-tying sixth-consecutive SoCon football championship and its second-straight men’s cross country/indoor track and field/outdoor track and field triple crown.

Senior Sam Ramirez was named the SoCon Player of the Year for the 2010-11 season.

n the women’s side, the race was the closest in SoCon history, with Appalachian edging defending champion Samford by a half-point for ASU’s ninth Germann Cup title and first since 2006-07. The Mountaineers finished in first or second place in over half of the league’s nine women’s sports, winning championships in women’s basketball and indoor and outdoor track and field and placing second in cross country and softball.

n addition to this year, Appalachian also won both the Commissioner’s and Germann Cups in 1986-87, 1987-88, 1988-89, 1989-90, 1991-92, 2005-06 and 2006-07.

2011 APPALACHIAN VOLLEYBALL CHARLIE COBB

DEBBIE RICHARDSON

Athletics Director NC State, 1990 Sixth Year

n his first five years at Appalachian State University, director of athletics Charlie Cobb has led the department to unparalleled success. The many achievements enjoyed by Appalachian athletics during the first 72 months of Cobb’s tenure include: • • • • • • • • •

Three NCAA Division I football national championships — marking the first time that any program has ever won three-consecutive NCAA Division I Football Championship Subdivision (FCS — formerly Division I-AA) and the first NCAA football titles ever won by a team from the state of North Carolina at any level. Shattering football attendance records at Kidd Brewer Stadium with crowds surpassing “The Rock’s” permanent seating capacity for each of ASU’s 34 regular-season home games since Cobb’s arrival in 2005. A 298-percent increase in football season-ticket sales. Six-consecutive Commissioner’s Cup championships — recognizing the top overall men’s sports program in the Southern Conference. Three Germann Cup championships — recognizing the top overall women’s sports program in the SoCon. Thirty-five percent of the athletics department’s students making the Academic Honor Roll (minimum GPA of 3.25). Five teams (men’s basketball, women’s cross country, field hockey, women’s indoor and outdoor track and field) earning public recognition awards, based on being among the nation’s top 10 percent in their respective sports based on Academic Progress Rate (APR) scores. The Yosef Club, which provides scholarship and facility support for student-athletes, raising over $2.5 million for the first time in 2009-10. Despite the state of the economy, the Yosef Club has reached the $2 million threshold for donations four years in a row and rasied nearly $2 mil lion more in 2009-10 than it did in any year prior a string of five-straight record years since Cobb’s arrival. Appalachian’s athletics annual budget increasing from $7.5 million in Cobb’s first year to nearly $13 million in 2010-11.

However, the most notable of Cobb’s many achievements has been the addition of first-class facilities that will give Appalachian the opportunity to be successful across the athletics spectrum for years to come. Facility enhancements totaling $50 million were completed in 2009, headlined by the 120,000-square-foot Appalachian Athletics Center. The seven-story complex, located behind Kidd Brewer Stadium’s west stands, includes new football offices and locker room, a strength and conditioning center, training facilities, academic study space and computer lab for all ASU student-athletes, as well as premium seating in the form of 600 club-level seats and 18 luxury suites. The facility enhancements also included other significant renovations to The Rock. A new ticket plaza, which serves as a grand entrance to the stadium, as well as ornamental fencing that replaced the chain-link barriers that used to surround the stadium and field were completed before the 2007 season, while a 4,400-seat upper deck on the stadium’s east side and substantial upgrades to the east and south concourses were completed prior to the ‘08 campaign. In addition to the renovations to Appalachian’s most visible athletics facility, the campaign has also produced new homes for Mountaineer baseball (Jim and Bettie Smith Stadium), softball (Sywassink/Lloyd Family Stadium) and soccer (at the Ted Mackorell Soccer Complex), as well as the Apps’ first-ever indoor practice facility (Sofield Family Indoor Practice Facility) and renovations to Varsity Gym that have upgraded the facility to a premier practice and competition venue for ASU basketball, indoor track and field, volleyball and wrestling. With the $50 million in facilities enhancements, all 20 of Appalachian’s intercollegiate sports teams now practice and compete in facilities that have either been built or renovated in the last decade. While Cobb is quick to point out the “total team effort” put forth to achieve the many successes that have been enjoyed since he began his tenure as ASU’s director of athletics on July 1, 2005, it is the experience, vision and work ethic of the 42-year-old Cobb that has steered the Mountaineers to new heights. Prior to his arrival in Boone, Cobb was a member of the athletics department at North Carolina State University from 1998-2005. A four-year football letterwinner at NC State from 1987-90, Cobb served as the Wolfpack’s senior associate athletics director for external operations for the seven years prior to his arrival in Boone. In that role, he oversaw NC State’s marketing, ticket operations, media relations and student-athlete development operations, as well as serving on the department’s compact strategic planning initiative, gender equity and facilities committees. During his tenure, NC State increased football season-ticket sales by 87 percent and men’s basketball season-ticket sales by 121 percent. The combined ticket revenues accounted for an annual increase of over 86 percent for Wolfpack athletics, generating more than $6 million for the department. In addition, Cobb served as NC State’s administrator for baseball and women’s soccer, tournament manager for the 2004 NCAA men’s basketball first and second rounds at the RBC Center and the chair for the southeast region of the NCAA women’s soccer committee. Prior to returning to his alma mater in ‘98, Cobb spent six years in Atlanta, Ga., where he held positions with the Atlanta Sports Council, the Chick-Fil-A Peach Bowl and the Georgia Dome. As an assistant executive director for the Atlanta Sports Council and the Peach Bowl, he helped coordinate Atlanta’s bid for the 2002 NCAA men’s basketball Final Four and handled all game and event operations for the Peach Bowl. As sales manager for the Georgia Dome from 1994-97, Cobb helped procure events such as the Southeastern Conference football championship, the SEC and Atlantic Coast Conference men’s basketball tournaments, NCAA men’s basketball championship events, Georgia High School Association football playoffs, major concerts and other college and amateur sporting events. Cobb graduated with honors with a B.A. in business administration from NC State in 1990. A second-team all-ACC honoree at center as a senior, Cobb was an academic all-ACC selection and collected the prestigious Jim Tatum Award, presented to the ACC football senior with the highest grade point average, and the Bob Warren Memorial Award, given to the Wolfpack football player that displays the highest integrity and sportsmanship. After receiving post-graduate scholarships from both the ACC and NFL Charities, Cobb earned a master’s degree in sports administration from Ohio University in 1992. Cobb is married to the former Lindsay Brecher, who was an all-ACC goalkeeper for NCSU women’s soccer from 1988-90 and serves as an assistant coach for Appalachian’s women’s soccer program. The Cobbs have a 12-year-old son, Harrison, and a nine-year-old daughter, Branan.

She joined the Mountaineer staff in August 1996 as an assistant athletics director and earned the title of senior associate director in 2006. Richardson serves as administrator for seven men’s and women’s sports, including volleyball, women’s soccer, women’s basketball, softball and men’s tennis. As the senior woman administrator, she acts as spokesperson for the needs and interests of women within the athletics department, campus and community.

She is also a former chair of the conference’s Senior Woman Administrators’ Association. Regionally, Richardson serves as the chair of the south region volleyball ranking committee, and, at the national level, she is entering her second year as a member of the NCAA Division I volleyball committee. Richardson came to Appalachian following five years as assistant athletics director at the University of Illinois, where she was responsible for 11 sports, handling event management, athletic facilities and special projects, such as NCAA and Big Ten Championships. Prior to her stint at Illinois, Richardson spent nine years at the University of South Florida, including seven seasons as head volleyball coach. While at South Florida, Richardson compiled a 180-117 record and earned three Sun Belt Conference Coach of the Year awards (1984, 1986 and 1988). She led her team to four Sun Belt championships (1986, 1987, 1988 and 1989). Richardson came to South Florida from Gardner-Webb where she was a volleyball coach during the 1981 season. A 1975 Auburn graduate, Richardson was a four-year starter for the Tigers during the AIAW-era. She served as a team captain and was named to the all-state team in both her junior and senior campaigns. The Miami, Fla. native graduated from Berry High School in Birmingham, Ala.

2011 APPALACHIAN VOLLEYBALL HOLMES CONVOCATION CENTER Appalachian volleyball enters its 10th season in the George M. Holmes Convocation Center. The Holmes Center serves as home of Mountaineer volleyball, as well as Appalachian’s men’s and women’s basketball and indoor track and field programs. Standing on Rivers Street at Appalachian State University, the 200,840-square foot Holmes Center serves as the cornerstone to the entry to campus and houses ASU’s Department of Health, Leisure and Exercise Science. The structure also includes the 8,325-seat Seby Jones Arena, which hosts a number of community and cultural events in addition to Appalachian athletics, including graduation and convocation ceremonies, trade shows and concerts. The facility opened on November 17, 2000 with a celebration followed by a men’s basketball contest between Appalachian and the University of North Carolina. With much anticipation, every seat for the ASU-UNC showdown was sold in advance, marking the first pre-gameday sellout in school history for any sporting event. The athletics ticket office sold the full allotment of tickets for the inaugural contest at the Holmes Center in just 12 minutes. In addition to the state-of-theart amenities that the Holmes Center has to offer, the atmosphere for Appalachian sporting events remains one of the most spirited in the Southern Conference. The Appalachian student section is a priority at the Holmes Center, as student seating is located at mid-court for both volleyball and basketball.

Public service, a cornerstone upon which Appalachian was founded, is the hallmark of the two individuals whom names adorn the university’s convocation center, as former ASU Chancellor, Francis T. Borkowski announced that the center would be called the George M. Holmes Convocation Center and its arena the Seby Jones Arena on March 20, 1999. Holmes is a Republican member of the North Carolina House of Representatives, representing the 41st District (Yadkin, Wilkes and Alexander Counties). He is the senior co-chair of the North Carolina House of Appropriations Committee. A native of Mount Airy, N.C., Holmes attended Appalachian on a football scholarship from 195057. Holmes first entered political office from 1975-76 and has served 11 terms since 1979. He serves on the Governor’s Advisory Budget Commission, the Joint Legislative Commission on Governmental Operations and the Joint Legislative Transportation Oversight Committee. Holmes was instrumental in securing the bulk of the $36.8 million needed to build the convocation center. Jones served as mayor and a council member of Raleigh from 1967-71. He also served on ASU’s Board of Trustees for eight years, chairing the Board in 1990-91. His philanthropy, including establishing Appalachian’s Alumni Memorial Scholarship and a scholarship for students from Wake County, has made it possible for many students to attend college.

In 2008, ASU volleyball became the first Southern Conference school to install a Sport Court floor used solely for volleyball. The state-of-the-art floor is the official court surface of the Men’s collegiate volleyball championship, Women’s Division NCAA Division I championship and USA Volleyball.

The Mountaineers’ locker room in the Holmes Center features a dressing area, dedicated team video room, lounge and computer workstations. It also includes an honor wall, on which all former award winners are represented.

VARSITY GYM Though the Mountaineers compete exclusively in the Holmes Center, the team often practices in the spacious Varsity Gym on campus as well. Five adjacent courts can be set up on the floor to allow for maximum utilization of practice time. In addition to the new SportCourt surface at the HCC, Varsity Gym’s floor also received a facelift in 2008, as a new hardwood surface was installed. The arena is also the practice home for wrestling, men’s and women’s basketball, field hockey and the track and field teams.

Under the direction of director Jason Robey and volleyball athletic trainer Jamie Moul, Appalachian sports medicine has three spacious facilities at its disposal in the Holmes Center, Varsity Gym and Owens Fieldhouse. Each athlete training room is equipped with state-of-the-art equipment to ensure the health and welfare of the student-athletes. The sports medicine staff is bolstered by one of the finest athlete training education programs in the nation. The program has been in existence for more than 25 years, was one of the first NATA approved programs and is accredited by CAATE.

Appalachian State University provides opportunity and encouragement for student-athletes to progress toward degrees of their choice and to develop athletic abilities in an environment consistent with high standards of academic scholarship, leadership and institutional loyalty. The Department of Athletics is committed to ensuring the general welfare of the student-athlete and to encouraging the highest standards of sportsmanship on behalf of student-athletes, the student body and the University’s supporters. The intercollegiate athlete representing ASU is both a bona-fide student pursuing a degree program and an amateur competitor. Appalachian Athletics is committed to insuring equitable recruitment, participation and treatment of individuals including members of under-represented populations through its athletics administration, staff, coaches, programs and policies. The University’s policy of non-discrimination represents a moral and ethical, not merely a legal, imperative. The University has determined that its athletics program will meet the necessary qualifications, guidelines and funding to hold membership in Division I of the NCAA. The athletics administration, the faculty athletics representative and the Athletics Council work together to insure that all teams and coaches follow the rules and regulations governing this division. A sound program of intercollegiate athletics should benefit the institution through its effects on students, alumni ad the institution itself. Specifically, it should maintain and improve the loyalty and esprit de corps of the student body, and in strengthening the pride and enthusiasm of the alumni; it should serve as a favorable public relations factor and provide benefits to the participants.

BOONE

NORTH CAROLINA Boone lies in a small valley in the heart of the Southern Appalachians. It is named after the hunter and explorer Daniel Boone, who spent time in the region during the 1760s. Watauga County was formed in 1849 and the Town of Boone incorporated in 1872. Among its accolades are inclusion in National Geographic Adventure magazine’s “Best Places to Live and Play,” Norman Crampton’s “100 Best Small Towns in America,” USA Today’s “10 Great Small Towns with Huge Backyards” and U.S. News and World Report’s “10 Best Places to Retire in the U.S.” Boone is a college town, home to Appalachian State University. Originally Watauga Academy, the institution was formed to educate the mountain children and to ultimately prepare teachers for service through western North Carolina. It became Appalachian State Teachers College in 1929 and joined the University of North Carolina system in 1971. The university serves as a top economic driver followed by a combination of tourism, small business and residential home construction. The Boone area is characterized by mountain culture and casual living. Outdoor activities, cultural events, local dining and unique shops attract visitors from all over the world year-round. From breathtaking scenic views to Boone’s eclectic downtown area, known as King Street, there is something for everyone. One of the highlights of downtown Boone is the university’s Turchin Center for the Visual Arts. It features six gallery spaces and a community education and outreach program. Its exhibitions focus on a blend of recent and historically important artwork and feature nationally and internationally renowned artists as well as many of the finest artists of the region. A wide array of quality arts and cultural events enhance the Boone community. The university’s month-long celebration of performing and visual arts, known as An Appalachian Summer Festival, has brought notable performers such as Paul Taylor Dance Company, London City Opera, Charlie Daniels and the Glenn Miller Orchestra. During the academic year, Appalachian hosts the Performing Arts Series with artists such as Garrison Keillor and the National Symphony Orchestra. Boone offers an uncommon quality of life — that’s why many visitors come for a weekend and stay for a lifetime.

WHAT’S VISIBLE FROM KIDD BREWER STADIUM… State’s Largest Wind Turbine This community-scale, 100-kilowatt wind turbine stands 153 feet and feeds enough electricity directly to the grid to power 15 homes. It was paid for primarily through student funds and in partnership with the campus utility, New River Light and Power. Aside from producing clean energy, the turbine serves as an educational monument to Appalachian’s ethic of sustainability. Howard’s Knob Located just a half mile from downtown Boone, this peak has an elevation of 4,420 feet. It was named for Benjamin Howard, a Revolutionary War loyalist who fled to a cave there to escape American patriots. Rich Mountain One of 20 North Carolina mountains bearing this name, the Watauga County ridge extends northwest from Boone. It is named for its unusually fertile though rugged slopes.
