“This one is special in a different way because it is at home and in front of our home crowd,” JSU head coach and 2006 OVC Coach of the Year Rick Nold said. “It is totally different than last year in that we came in here as the favorite.

Senior setter Emily Withers was named the tournament MVP to lead three Gamecocks on the alltournament team. The team’s captain, Withers capped a senior season that saw the Cincinnati native break the school’s all-time assists record. She was joined on the all-tournament team by juniors Joi Watts and Abbey Breit.

“We knew that they would make us work on defense with the way they move the ball around,” Nold added. “I thought we did a good job of being patient and taking advantage of our opportunities. Abbey Vierling and Jessica Starck did a great job on the back row for us, and Abbey Breit and Joi really stepped up for us from throughout the tournament.” Five Gamecocks had 10 or more digs in the match to out-dig the Redhawks, 77-60. Freshman Brittney Whitten led all players with 18 digs, while junior Abbey Vierling added 16. Senior Jessica Starck had 15 digs, while Withers and Breit added 12 and 11, respectively.

The third-seeded Gamecocks (18-10, 13-3 OVC) set season highs in kills (99), assists (97) and digs (132) to upend the Colonels (23-7, 14-2 OVC) in front of a national television audience on ESPNU, just one day after knocking off No. 2 Tennessee State in the tournament semifinals. “I don’t know if you could have asked for a better championship match,” JSU head coach Rick Nold said. “It was a match of two very good teams that were both playing well. It was just a matter of who was going to make the final run, and I’m just glad it was us.” Senior outside hitter Suzi Terrell knocked down a career-high 35 kills on a .315 attack percentage en route to earning tournament Most Valuable Player honors, while junior Emily Withers dished out a school and OVC record 88 assists, 22 better than her previous career high to lead the offense.

The Gamecocks’ other senior, Kim Halbach contributed five kills, seven digs and five assists to extend her JSU career. “I can’t say enough about the character of our three seniors,” Nold said. “ Thay all came out and gave us the best volleyball of their careers when it mattered most, and that says a lot about the type of competitors they are.”

Emily Withers dished out an OVC record-tying 88 assists in the final to help JSU to its first OVC Tournament title.

Sophomore Abbey Breit, the Gamecocks’ other All-Tournament team member, recorded 23 kills, while sophomores Rebekah Nichols and Katie Moyers set career highs with 18 and 17 kills, respectively.

2 014 M e d i a G u i d e • • • THE OVC

The O H I O V A L L E Y C O N F E R E N C E Now in its 67th year, the Ohio Valley Conference continues to build on the success that has made it the nation’s eighth-oldest NCAA Division I conference. In May 2011 the Conference expanded for the second time in four years, adding Belmont University which began competition in the 2012-13 academic year. The addition of Belmont gave the OVC 12 members, the most the league has had at one time in its illustrious history. The move added a second team in the city of Nashville and was the first addition to the league since Southern Illinois University Edwardsville joined in 2008. Subsequently, the league has shown its stability over the past decade, seeing only one member institution depart over the past 14 years. The 2009-10 school year saw a change in leadership as Beth DeBauche was named the seventh full-time Commissioner in league history on July 28, 2009. The last three commissioners of the OVC have moved onto jobs as the commissioner of the Big Ten, Big 12 and the MidAmerican Conferences. The OVC’s proud history dates back to 1948, but seeds for the new league were actually planted in 1941. It was then that Roy Stewart, the athletics director at Murray State, Charles “Turkey” Hughes, the athletics director at Eastern Kentucky, and Kelly Thompson, the public relations director at Western Kentucky, first broached the idea of forming a new conference. Discussions were put on hold by World War II, but reemerged Feb. 27-28, 1948 at the Kentucky Hotel in Louisville as the three original

institutions combined with Morehead State, Louisville and Evansville to form the OVC. In the 1950s, the OVC became a pioneer on a much more significant scale socially. During times of racial segregation, league member Morehead State became one of the first nontraditionally black mid-southern institutions to accept a black student. In 1958 Marshall Banks earned athletically-related aid at Morehead, which signed a second black athlete, Howard Murphy, a year later. In 1961 Murphy earned all-conference recognition as a halfback in football. With racial barriers broken, the rest of the institutions in the league began to provide educational and athletic opportunities to African-Americans. After Title IX legislation passed in 1972, women’s athletics began a rebirth on the national scene as the NCAA began sponsoring and marketing women’s sports. Recognizing the need to provide increased opportunities for female athletes, the OVC began formulating plans for women’s athletics in 1975 and established women’s championships in the sports of basketball, tennis and track in 1977, with cross country and volleyball added over the next four years. Those sports were initially governed by the Association of Intercollegiate Athletics for Women (AIAW), but the overall strength of women’s programs in the league was demonstrated by the automatic bids the OVC instantly received when the NCAA became the governing body in 1982. The conference added women’s golf and softball in 1994 and women’s soccer in 1998.

Jacksonville and Calhoun COUNTY

The Home of

Jacksonville State University

Near Atlanta, Near Birmingham, Near Perfect!

Tucked into the rolling foothills of the Appalachian mountain range in Northeast Alabama, Calhoun County is a growing business center, yet still evokes an atmosphere of small-town America. We are a tranquil community with a fabulous climate of four distinctive seasons, full bloom summers, and brilliantly colored falls. In every direction there are tree-covered mountains, deep canyons, lush valleys, and underground springs. And yet, if you begin to yearn for big city life, we are only 60 miles from Birmingham, and 90 miles from Atlanta. A surprising variety of experiences await you in Calhoun County. The climate here allows for year round golf, tennis, hiking, or any activity you may enjoy in the great outdoors. Although our slogan reads, near Atlanta…near Birmingham…near Perfect, our citizens will tell you that the commitment to caring for others combined with a strong work ethic and community spirit makes “Calhoun County…the perfect” place to live.

The History

The Normal School remained in operation until 1930, when it became Jacksonville State Teachers College. Five years later, the College earned regional accreditation from the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools. The name again changed to Jacksonville State College in 1957

when the first graduate program—the master’s degree in elementary education—was created. On August 2, 1966, the Legislature authorized the State Board of Education to elevate the College to university status. On August 17, 1967, the Legislature established an independent Board of Trustees for the University and divested jurisdiction from the State Board of Education.

From modest beginnings, Jacksonville State University has evolved into the educational center of Northeast Alabama. The Alabama Legislature in the 1882-83 session created a state normal school when Governor Edward O’Neal signed into law a bill creating the school on February 22, 1883. Jacksonville State Normal School acquired the facilities and equipment of Calhoun College, consisting of 12 acres of land and a two-story brick building. The Board of Directors elected James G. Ryals, Jr., as the first president. The school opened with three instructors: W. J. Borden, Mathematics; Eliza A. Bowen, English; and Ida J. Woodward, primary department. As stipulated in the establishing act, the Normal School administered a preparatory school for children of the town and surrounding areas. At the end of the first year, on August 15, 1884, William Mark Hames, President of the Board of Directors, reported that funds totaling $4,751.25 had been received, including $2,500 from the state; that 25 students were enrolled in the normal school; and that 222 were in the preparatory school.

Alma Mater, Alma Mater, Grateful voices raise A song of tribute and devotion, Thy honored name we praise. Light of knowledge, Store of wisdom, Love of truth abide in thee, Quest for beauty, Search for freedom, Thine eternally, Oh, Alma Mater, Alma Mater We humbly bow to thee!

Jacksonville State University has been served by 11 presidents: James G. Ryals, Jr. (1883-85), J. Harris Chappell (1885-86), Carleton Bartlett Gibson (1886-92), J. B. Jarrett (1892-93), Jacob Forney IV (1893-99), Clarence William Daugette (1899-1942), Houston Cole (1942-71), Ernest Stone (1971-81), Theron E. Montgomery (1981-86), Harold J.

Dr. William A. Meehan President

r. William A. Meehan begins his 16th year as President at Jacksonville State University in 2014-15, but his association with the University dates back to when he enrolled as a first-time freshman in 1968. Dr. Meehan completed the Bachelor of Science in Biology in 1972 and began a career in education that same year. He earned the Master’s of Science degree in Biology at Jacksonville State University in December of 1976 and returned in January 1977 to serve as an instructor in the Department of Biology. He completed a Doctorate of Education in the field of higher education administration from the University of Alabama and began the role of President on July 1, 1999. Since 1977, Dr. Meehan has served in numerous administrative and teaching positions at the University. Among these are Coordinator of Medical Technology Program, Director of Academic Advisement, Assistant Vice President for Academic Affairs, Associate Vice President for Academic and Student Affairs, Acting Vice President for Academic Affairs and Acting Vice President for Institutional Advancement. Dr. Meehan is well aware of the benefits of college athletics and what athletics adds to the college experience.

“I’m very proud of the fact that we have won 58 Ohio Valley Conference Championships and two Women’s All-Sports Trophies since joining the Conference in 2003,” said Meehan. “We have claimed conference titles in football, rifle, volleyball, men’s tennis, women’s tennis, men’s golf , women’s golf, softball and baseball. We have enjoyed post-season competition in many of our sports, which brings national exposure and prestige to our University. “Our student-athletes excel, not only on the fields of competition, but also in the classroom,” added Meehan. “I’m proud to say that we have more than 130 of our student-athletes with a 3.0 grade point average or higher again last year and overall, the athletic department had a cumulative grade point overage above a 3.0.” Dr. Meehan began a five-year term on the prestigious NCAA Board of Directors in August of 2009. The NCAA Board of Directors is the primary decision-making body in Division I, with the ultimate responsibility for the policy and direction of the division and for adopting any changes to the operating bylaws and rules of Division I. The NCAA Board of Directors is comprised of 18 Division I CEO’s, with each member serving a four-year term. Other duties of the board include establishing the budget, general policies and strategic plan for the NCAA. Dr. Meehan began a two-year term on the NCAA Executive Committee in May of 2011 and was just one of four non-FBS President’s selected for this prestigious honor. While serving on the NCAA Executive Committee, Dr. Meehan played a part in the final approval and oversight of the NCAA’s budget; provided strategic planning for the NCAA as a whole; and acted on behalf of the NCAA by adopting and implementing policies to resolve core issues and other NCAA matters.

J A C

Dr. Meehan was also selected by his Presidential peers to serve as the chairman of the NCAA President’s Advisory Group for two years, serving as chairman in 2012 and 2013. This advisory group’s primary role is to provide the perspective of the 20 conferences that do not have permanent seats on the NCAA Board of Directors. The group also reviews NCAA Division I Leadership Council and Legislative Council recommendations, provides direction on academic policies and suggests implementation methods of any appointed task force group reports. In 2014-15, Dr. Meehan will continue his involvement in the NCAA by serving as a member of the NCAA’s Committee of Academic Performance, which oversees the process governing data collections, analysis and calculation used to determine the academic progress rate (APR), the graduation success rate (GSR) and the process governing data collection of academic performance census (APC).

Prior to joining Jax State in 2011, Koegel spent 10 very successful years as Director of Athletics at Coastal Carolina University. During his tenure at Coastal Carolina, the Chanticleers made 56 NCAA Championship appearances, won 48 Big South Conference Championships and won five Sasser Cups, which is awarded to the top athletic program in the Big South Conference.

While at Coastal, Koegel was responsible for the addition of football to the Chanticleers’ athletic department in 2003.

He also added new dugouts and seats for baseball and softball, upgraded and built new locker rooms, a new open-air roofed hitting facility for baseball and softball, was involved in the planning and design of a new convocation center currently under construction, and made numerous other facility improvements to baseball, softball, track, golf, tennis and soccer.

Koegel went to Coastal Carolina from the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga, where he had served as an associate athletic director from 1998-2000 under former JSU Athletics Director Oval Jaynes. At Chattanooga, Koegel helped managed a multi-million budget for 16 NCAA Division I sports. His other administrative responsibilities included business operations, athletic scholarships, marketing and serving as the liaison to the coaching staff. He also served on the steering committee for the NCAA I-AA National Championship Football Game.

Prior to his stint at Chattanooga, he had served on the football coaching staffs at the University of Connecticut, Rutgers University and the University of Wyoming. During his tenure on the football coaching staff at the University of Connecticut from 1992 to 1997, he was recruiting coordinator and defensive line coach as well as interim head coach in 1993.

E.C. “Baldy” Wilson is credited with leading the effort to change the JSU mascot and nickname to Gamecocks from the Eagle Owls they were known as before World War II. “I didn’t realize it was making history or anything like that,” Wilson said. “We were back from the great war; we didn’t sweat much. I just enjoyed living and being where I was and what I was doing. We just enjoyed being there.” Baldy and the boys were just coming home from the war and Wilson figured a new era for the college team needed a new mascot to reflect the fiesty spirit of the players.

TG AA TM E E

Houston Cole agreed to let the players change the name. The 23-man squad approved it and Eagle Owl went away. “It was a big deal, because we were the Eagle Owls and who wanted to be an Eagle Owl?” football coach Don Salls said. “That’s the biggest thing anybody could ever do to a school, get rid of the Eagle Owl and change the name. That’s a big deal — a big, big, big deal.” “I played one year as an Eagle Owl — 1946,” Wilson said. “Everywhere we went they asked us what an Eagle Owl was. We said we didn’t know what it was.” The mascot wasn’t the only thing the players changed. There also was a move to switch colors from purple — which Wilson said was considered an “outlaw color” at the time — and gold

to the current red and white. Actually, that was something Salls wanted and it fit nicely with the fact many of the players came from high school programs that were red and white anyway. Those who wanted the color change told Wilson if his group supported their initiative they would support his cause. Both changes passed smoothly. “I don’t remember anybody being opposed to it,” Wilson said. “The next thing we knew, Coach Salls said you got want you want, you got the Gamecocks and the Red and White.” To this day JSU and South Carolina are the only two Division I schools in the United States that go by the name Gamecocks.
