Coaching for Character

G

reenville College alumni tell me it never rains on All College Hike Day. This day, I am inclined to believe them. It is Wednesday, September 15, the sun is shining and the weather is fine as we start our 5.6 mile trek to Durley Camp.

Walking beside me is John Hammond, class of ’76, and the 2009-10 recipient of the NBA Executive of the Year Award as General Manager of the Milwaukee Bucks. In my short time here I have learned not to be surprised by GC alumni. One might think a busy man like Hammond would only be willing to fly down for a morning to be with our students. But no, he has already met with a number of them at a 7:30 am class, and now he is joining the entire student body, our faculty and staff for GC’s annual All College Hike.

Hammond is actually indicative of a certain kind of GC student—he was a student athlete. Later in the day, he shares with the students the tragic story of how he lost his best friend in a terrible mishap during a Panther basketball practice session. And then he recounts what he found most amazing about the experience: “everyone—coaches, faculty, staff and students—literally everyone looked out for me. The entire campus took me under their wing, and watched out for me.” Hammond’s life was changed forever.

Oddly enough, it was changed at a college that has at times been ambivalent about athletics on campus. From almost its inception, GC students clamored for the opportunity to participate in sporting events of one kind or another. Just as often the board and administration responded with a resounding “no.” But students have a way of wearing down boards and administrations, trust me. Around the end of the 19th century a Tennis Club gained a toe-hold. And shockingly, both men and women played—together no less!

Later came baseball, basketball, and a running club, but these were largely just that, “clubs.” It was not until the early 1940s that intercollegiate athletic teams formed on the GC campus. What followed in its train were storied names like Rich Stephens, John Strahl, Ish Smith, Phyllis Holmes, Myra Wilkins, and now Ordell Walker. It has been a rich history, but one marked more by the character of the athletes than by what they accomplished on the field of play.

In the mid-1980s Greenville College introduced intercollegiate football into the athletic program. Not surprisingly, given the College’s history, there was an uproar.

Surely the presence of football players would change the spiritual tenor of the campus and tarnish the College’s reputation. More than twenty years later, I can happily report that our football program enhances the spiritual tenor of the campus and burnishes the College’s reputation.

This is the way with GC athletics. We play hard and we have fun, but more importantly our athletic program is committed to coaching for character.

In the Zone and on the Edge, but Keeping it All in Perspective

by Annie Zeller

Coach Johnson and hurdler Edgar Townsend focus before a race.

“Edgar Townsend (class of 2010) has done something we might not see again for a very long time,” says Greenville College Athletic Director, Doug Faulkner.

H

e is referring to Townsend’s amazing feat of winning three NCAA Division III national titles in the span of one year.

Townsend finished first in the 110-meter hurdles at the track and field outdoor national championships in 2009 and 2010. Between those repeat victories, he also rose to the top of the podium for his stellar performance in the 55-meter hurdles at the 2010 indoor championship.

It is no slight on Townsend’s abilities to say that what he has accomplished is improbable. As Faulkner notes, the margin for error in events like the 110- and 55-meter hurdles is paper thin. A poor start, a clipped hurdle or a slight let-up at the finish can mean the difference between first and last place. Tenths or even one-hundredths of a second frequently separate the winner from the runner-up.

And in order to even get in the final race, an athlete must first qualify by either winning or placing high enough in

2

FALL 2010

www.greenville.edu

“qualifying heats” just to have the chance to run for the gold. At any step of the way, all of Townsend’s hard work and determination could have come crashing down. But it never did.

Why it never happened says a lot about the relationship between Townsend and Coach Bob Johnson. Johnson has been coaching at GC for 23 years. In addition to coaching track and field, he has coached cross country and soccer.

“We’ve got a great track and field head coach in Brian Patton,” says Faulkner, “but Brian would be the first tell you that Bob [Johnson] is looked upon as the dean of GC’s coaching staff.”

Johnson is obviously doing something right when it comes to coaching hurdlers. In addition to coaching Townsend to the top in both 2009 and 2010, Johnson also coached GC’s Jarod Renford (class of ’08) there as well in 2008.

A Greenville College athlete has now placed first in the

NCAA Division III 110-meter hurdles for three years running.

IN THE ZONE AND ON THE EDGE Leaping over hurdles, while trying to run as fast as you can, is perhaps one of most dangerous events in track and field. In practice sessions Johnson pushed Townsend into what he calls the “danger zone.” He explains that hurdling requires speed, agility, and complete concentration. It is a dangerous event, and unless an athlete practices at a high intensity level he will not be prepared for it. For Johnson, having Townsend go to that “danger zone” in practice was absolutely critical preparation for the event. “When hurdlers practice on the edge – they race on the edge. I’m not sure that’s the textbook way of doing things, but it’s been effective for our athletes,” he says.

Townsend clearly knew what it meant to get in that “zone” and go out on the “edge.” “You don’t get a national champion out of a vacuum,” says Johnson. “Edgar was quick, fast, and strong, but perhaps most importantly, courageous. He was willing to go where other athletes would not go, and to risk what other athletes would not risk in order to be the best that he could be.”

SPORT AS BREAKFAST While Coach Johnson is serious about the “zone” and the “edge,” he manages to keep what he is doing in perspective, and he believes his principal responsibility is to help athletes do the same. Recalling Jesus’ resurrection appearance to His disciples on the shore of the Sea of Galilee, Johnson draws a lesson about giving his athletes a respite from their work and a place to find joy. “Jesus called the fishermen from their work; he invited them to join him on the beach where he had made them breakfast.

My philosophy is that sport is like that breakfast. It’s a gift we’ve been given to enjoy.”

Coach Johnson’s unconventional training techniques and his commitment to keeping things in perspective helped Edgar Townsend become GC’s most successful hurdler, and one of the best ever in NCAA Division III track and field.

“I have to thank God for everything He has given me,” says Townsend. “I really am blessed to have my coach, my dad, [and] everyone from my school. They all helped me get to where I am today. I have to thank everybody. A lot of hard work went into it, and all their dedication just made me work harder.”

Biblical Football

I

by Annie Zeller

t is Friday, the day before a Greenville College Panther football game. But instead of the sounds of shoulder pads and helmets clashing, coaches barking out instructions, or whistles shrieking to start a drill; the sound of a ninety man chorus fills the air. It is team chapel time for the Panthers. Life is more than just football, and Head Coach Ordell Walker plans to make sure his players never forget that.

Football has been a part of Coach Walker’s life for as long as he can remember. He loved playing for his high school team, and after succeeding there he headed to Trinity International University (TIU) to play four years as a defensive tackle. It was at TIU where Walker met Coach Scotty Kessler. As Walker explains it, Kessler became more than a coach—he was a mentor.

While Walker grew up in a Christian home, he was not a believer in Jesus Christ when he started college. “Scotty and the other coaches started to share their beliefs with me, and watching how they lived, and what they said appealed to me,” says Walker. “I thought about what they said and applied that to how to win in football. By the end of my career at TIU, God captured my heart. I’m a changed person because of a football program that was built on spiritual principles.”

After graduation, Walker joined the TIU coaching staff to work alongside Coach Kessler. Two years later Kessler was offered the head coaching position for the Greenville College Panther football program.

When he went, Walker went with him. “Coaching with Scotty was the initial draw to GC, but it’s all the other people that keep me here now,” says Walker. “I enjoy the entire coaching staff I have to work with.

And then there’s the sense of community my wife, kids and I have found here.”

But it’s not just the people and community that have kept Coach Walker at GC and excited about taking the head coaching position. “At Greenville I have the opportunity to do football the way I want to do it.”

Walker calls this way “Biblical Football.” He explains, “I ask myself and my assistant coaches, ‘If Jesus Christ were a football coach, how would He have done it?’ And we try to do just that by looking at Christ’s life in the scriptures and applying His example to every facet of the program.” The program’s foundation is the conviction that somehow it is all for the glory of God. The coaches take this seriously as they strive to integrate Scriptural truths and their spiritual beliefs into every facet of football.

They challenge their players to do likewise.

While it might sound strange to a lot of NCAA Division I programs, and definitely odd to professional clubs, Walker’s goals are two-fold.

First, that everyone who comes to play at GC has the opportunity to learn more about Jesus, or to learn about Him for the first time. And second, that every player is challenged to think about the legacy he will leave behind. “It’s hard for guys to look ahead at this age and think beyond the present. I try to challenge them to think about what they want people to say about them when they’re gone. When guys think that way they have goals, a future, they want to leave a positive legacy and that begins to influence the decisions they make day by day. I want them to think long term; not short term.”

These goals extend onto the field as well. The Panther Football motto is “Championship play – Championship lives.” Walker believes that being a

“I want to maximize the time I have with these guys. If they win a championship here, but then someday can’t get it done as a dad, a husband, or in their job, then we haven’t done our job.”

“Ordell is not a screamer or yeller, he’s just a towering, gentle presence,” says GC Athletic Director Doug Faulkner. “We will be having a big coaches meeting, and maybe someone begins to share that they’re struggling personally or professionally. Ordell is the guy who calls us to prayer, and invites us to get on our knees. He’s a great man, and just the kind of guy you’d want your son to be around.” champion is not what you achieve, but it’s who you are. “Championships are byproducts of the things we do every day; the way we practice, the way we play, the decisions we make.” He challenges his team not to take “the road to success,” but instead live on the “success road” in the way they play and in the way they live.

Coach Walker is excited about his inaugural 2010 season at the helm of the GC Panthers. “We have a big senior class this year and I would love to see the team reach new heights, take the program to new places, and experience the playoffs again.” But more importantly he says, “I want to maximize the time I have with these guys. If they win a championship here, but then someday can’t get it done as a dad, a husband, or in their job, then we haven’t done our job.”

“I wouldn’t be who I am today, and in this position at Greenville if not for coaches who took a chance on me. I just wanted to play football and get an education, but my life was transformed because they modeled Christ-like living for me,” says Walker. “I’m a product of a program built on Biblical principles, and I want to give those same opportunities to guys at GC.” Coach Walker loves football and is plenty serious about practicing and playing hard. But a greater passion is for renewed and revitalized communities.

“Communities are changed when individuals are transformed. I believe GC Football is a place where God can transform lives and therefore change many communities as the players live and teach others what they have learned here.”

This is Ordell Walker’s first year as the Panther’s Head Coach. Walker coached two years of high school football, followed by two years assistant coaching at Trinity International University in Deerfield, IL before beginning at Greenville College.

Walker and his wife Beth have two sons Elijah, 5 and Levi 3 and live in Greenville, IL.

Marching to the Beat of a New Drum:

Panther Corps Pep Band Begins

by Morgan Hatt

For the first time in Greenville College’s history the driving rhythm of drums and horns are being heard at GC sporting events. In its inaugural year the new Panther Corps Pep Band is adding noise and excitement across the campus.

Will Fairbanks, GC’s new Director of Bands, says his goal for the Panther Corps Pep Band is to be the energizing force the crowd needs to help give GC athletes the momentum only a strong and excited crowd can provide. “You put a band or a drum line in there and the crowd gets pumped up and they start yelling, and that inevitably pumps up the football players,” says Fairbanks. “The pep band will definitely be a plus, especially in those tight situations when the team needs a boost from the crowd.”

Fairbanks comes to the College from the state of Texas where he has successfully built marching band programs. He has already recruited approximately 20 students to participate in the new band. In its first year the group will serve as a pep band, but the ultimate goal is to create a marching band of 50 or more students.

The Panther Corps will play songs designed to reach all ages. Fans can expect to hear marching band classics, but also top 40s type tunes. “In addition to beats meant to stir-up Panther spirit,” Fairbanks says “the Corps will take pride in playing The National Anthem before athletic contests.”

The College is excited about the new program and believes it will make a positive contribution to the College and ultimately the entire community.

he beginning of the 2010 fall semester brought an increased number of student-athletes to Greenville College’s campus.

Last winter the College decided to create junior varsity teams in a number of its athletic programs. In conjunction with the admissions office, the athletic department embraced the concept and produced recruiting results that exceeded expectations. At last count, approximately 44 percent of incoming students planned to participate in one of the College’s athletic programs. Overall, 34 percent of the traditional student body will wear the Panther uniform.

This year Greenville College will sponsor full JV schedules in football, men’s soccer, volleyball, men’s basketball, women’s basketball, and baseball. The concept of JV programs is not new to the campus as several teams have sponsored JV teams when the number of participants permitted. However, the increased focus on promoting these programs during the previous year has led to an alltime high in the number of student-athletes attending the College.

“The growth in the number of students that Greenville College has witnessed this fall is a testament to prayer and the tremendous efforts of our coaching staff and admissions personnel,” said athletic director Doug Faulkner. “We’re thankful for the role we’ve played in helping the College achieve its goals.

We look forward to seeing these new studentathletes engaged in our community and on its playing fields.”

In order to accommodate the new JV programs, Greenville College has added a number of fulltime and graduate assistant coaches. Practice schedules and venues are also being adjusted so JV athletes have the opportunity to train and prepare for their games.

The Greenville College athletic department sponsors teams in men’s and women’s cross country, football, men’s and women’s soccer, and volleyball in the fall. The men’s and women’s basketball and indoor track and field teams compete throughout the winter. The spring schedule brings baseball, softball, men’s and women’s tennis, and men’s and women’s outdoor track and field.

Ten Days in Bolivia

by Heather Bush

D

uring the summer of 2010, the Greenville College men’s and women’s basketball teams traveled to Cochabamba, Bolivia to spend ten days partnering with Christ for the City International (CFTC). The teams returned to Illinois on August 16 with hearts full of the inexpressible joy that comes from serving Christ and His children.

shared Christ with the teams we played, and people around us. We taught basketball skills to children ages three through thirteen as we shared Christ’s love with them. However, the impact the children had on our lives was far greater than what we expected. Their willing hearts and smiling faces taught us a lesson of Christ’s love that we never expected to learn from such small messengers.

Our entire team was excited for the experience ahead of us, but we had no idea of what God actually had in store for us. We stepped off the plane in Bolivia and were met with hugs and smiles from the CFTC staff; we instantly knew something was different about this part of the world. Everywhere we looked, we saw joy.

“Traveling to Bolivia was a real eye opener and allowed us all to experience life in a whole new light,” said senior guard Joel Pezzelle. “Joy should not come from what we are provided, but instead it should come from what we can provide to others,” shared sophomore center Katelyn Wise.

Our teams experienced this joy for the full ten days as we held basketball clinics for kids, and

“Though you have not seen him, you love him; and even though you do not see him now, you believe in him and are filled with an inexpressible and glorious joy.” 1 PETER 1:8

Those ten days changed our lives and refocused our eyes on Him who provides true joy for those who seek Him.

Forging Ahead

by Walter B. Fenton

Bang! Bang! Bang! A 750 pound forge hammer quickly rises and then falls applying 16,000 pounds of pressure to a red-hot piece of steel. Heat radiates from a glowing orange furnace. The sun streams down through a vent in the ceiling creating shafts of light in the smoke and haze, and then—bang, bang, bang—another red hot piece of metal is pounded into an essential part for a plane, train or piece of NASA equipment. This goes on almost every day of the year at Dekalb Forge in Dekalb, Illinois, and at several other forges in Illinois and Wisconsin.

T

he founder and president of Forge Resources Group is Donald Jones, class of 1952. Jones started in the business right out of college and has been at it ever since. While other forges closed down, Jones not only managed to keep the Dekalb plant open, he actually expanded his operation and continues to do so to this day.

Jones’ only passion. He is still very active in his church on both the local and national levels, and he brings the same entrepreneurial spirit for business to the service of his church.

Jones, a member of the Christian Missionary Alliance Church, is instrumental in helping his denomination plant new congregations in underserved communities.

Although Jones is now 80, he shows no signs of slowing down. One almost needs to run to keep up with him as he briskly escorts visitors around one of his plants. However, Jones is more than happy to explain the intricate process of taking scrap metal, melting it down to iron ore and then literally pounding it—or more technically stamping it—into useful parts and pieces for thousands of products.

And more often than not his forges stamp out pieces for very large products like trains, planes and even aircraft carriers.

Jones delights in reopening shuttered church buildings. He likes to find creative and dedicated pastors, and invest resources in building a dynamic and spirit-filled local congregation. “I enjoy the work so much because it often results in more conversions and baptisms than we see in other situations.”

When asked why he does not retire, he replies, “To what, to Oprah? No thanks! I have passion for what I’m doing, and I intend to keep on doing it. I’m doing what I enjoy, and I think having a good, positive routine is also a major health benefit.”

Turning raw metals into finish products is not 10

When asked what makes Don Jones tick, good friend and former GC President Rich Stephens said, “The key value in Don’s life is loyalty, loyalty especially to God and the church, to his family, and to Greenville College as an arm of the church. His loyalty to GC has been unrelenting, intentional, and generous!”

“I learned in College that you have to accept life as it is, and then still be happy despite the setbacks,” says Jones. In short, Jones himself continues to forge ahead.

Dr. V. James Mannoia, Jr., Tenth President of Greenville College, Receives Presidential Emeritus Status During his tenure, Mannoia maintained a consistent focus on the value of transformation made possible through a quality Christian liberal arts education.

D

uring their May, 2010 meetings the Greenville College Board of Trustees unanimously voted to award Dr. V. James Mannoia, Jr. Presidential Emeritus status. According to Board Chair Rebecca Smith, “great strides were made with Jim during his years on campus through the adult learning partnerships, as well as experiencing growth in our enrollment.

Another significant area was to increase the College’s financial stability. I count it a distinct pleasure to have worked with him on a Board level and his contributions to the College were greatly appreciated.”

Dr. Mannoia assumed the presidency of Greenville College on January 1, 1999 and retired from his nine year post on June 30, 2008. During his tenure, Mannoia maintained a consistent focus on the value of transformation made possible through a quality Christian liberal arts education. He sharpened the college’s vision for the “liberating arts,” tightened financial systems, and enhanced campus curb appeal. He also saw during his tenure the following new buildings and projects come to fruition: Blankenship Apartments, Dietzman Center, Mannoia Hall, Oak Street Residence Hall, Briner Center, Whitlock Music Center, Tidball Alumni House, Ganton Circle Project, Claussen Plaza/Page Circle Project, Maves Art Gallery Project and the White Environmental Center to name a few.

While at GC, Mannoia helped shape the COR general education curriculum, and assisted in the creation of masters programs in Education and Teaching, as well as the Undergraduate Teacher Education Partnership with nearby Lewis and Clark College and Kaskaskia College. Mannoia also championed the

development of the “Greenville in Africa” offcampus semester experience in Mozambique and Zimbabwe.

Mannoia’s investment in students extended beyond traditional expectations of a college president. He engaged students in the classroom as lead instructor for COR 401, the senior capstone course, in the dorms for late night “Fireside Chats,” in regular meetings with GC Student Association presidents and cabinet members, at multiple sporting events, and on Scott Field in between classes and meetings.

Dr. V. James Mannoia, Jr. now serves as the Senior Fellow for International Development for the Council for Christian Colleges & Universities (CCCU). He also is an Independent Consultant in Higher Education and part-time Professor at Old Dominion University & Regent University. Dr. Mannoia resides in Virginia Beach, VA.

Digging into the Community:

New Students Begin the Year with Service

Greenville College students and staff constructed a new walking/running track at William S. Waite Park in Greenville, IL on August 23 to begin the school year by serving the local community.

Students and faculty spent the day digging, raking and spreading gravel to complete the 0.6 mile project.

For 11 years, new students and GC Student Development staff planted trees and cleaned up trash along the Meramec River during new student orientation. Last year, the staff decided to bring the group’s service to bear on

local community projects instead. “As the local event focus has unfolded, we have been delighted to see students serve and take some pride in the local community,” said Vice President and Dean of Student Development Norm Hall.

At the end of the service day, students and faculty had moved over 400 tons of crushed lime to create the new trail.

Greenville College hopes to continue its partnership with the local Park District to realize a vision of improved parks for the citizens of Greenville.

GC Summer Research Experience Chemistry Department Chair Dr. Darrell Iler launched the GC Summer Research Experience during the summer of 2010.

Seven students spent the three months engaging in research with four of our current faculty, Dr. Darrell Iler, Dr. Shani Golovay, Dr. George Peters, and Dr. Richard Lombardini, and professor emeritus Dr. Hugh Siefken. The results of their research will be presented during Homecoming this year.

Six additional students applied for and were awarded REU (Research Experience for Undergraduates)

High Enrollment and Record Breaking Retention at Greenville College During a time of economic uncertainty for so many colleges and universities, Greenville College announces high enrollment and record breaking retention for the fall 2010 semester.

Traditional enrollment, after a slight down year in 2009, is back up with 1,122 students enrolled.

Greenville College also announces record breaking student retention, with 86.8 percent of last year’s students returning this fall. All of the faculty and staff go above and beyond to create a community that helps students engage and learn.

Enrollment in non-traditional, online, and summer courses is also on the rise. The College served more than 2,000 students in non-traditional courses during the past academic year. Approximately 600 students participated in summer programs, which included a full schedule of online courses, and specific programs designed for teachers who wanted to add endorsements to their teaching certificate.

Greenville also celebrates the recently published US News & World Report “America’s Best Colleges” article, in which Greenville College not only maintained a top tier position, but the college also improved its ranking, moving up more spots than any other college in the Midwest baccalaureate college category this year.
