A Championship Tradition Jacksonville State athletics continued to dominate on the field of competition in 2015-16, when the Gamecocks won a pair of conference championships in historic fashion. JSU won the OVC football championship with a perfect 8-0 record in OVC play, the second-straight unbeaten league season by JSU on the gridiron. The Gamecocks then became the first OVC team to play in the FCS National Championship Game since 1982. John Grass was the AFCA National Coach of the Year and Eli Jenkins was the OVC Offensive Player of the Year. The Gamecocks also won the OVC softball crown with a perfect 26-0 conference record. JSU became the second team in OVC history to go unbeaten in league play and the first since 1994 and then advanced to the championship game of the NCAA Auburn Regional. JSU swept the OVC postseason honors, with Jana McGinnis being named OVC Coach of the Year, Ella Denes OVC Player of the Year and Whitney Gillespie OVC Pitcher of the Year.

Jacksonville State is the only school in the nation to lay claim to NCAA national titles in football, men’s basketball and baseball at a Division II level or higher. JSU is one of just two schools (Florida) to have played for a national title in each of those three sports.
Since joining the Ohio Valley Conference in 2003-04, Jacksonville State has solidified itself as the preeminent athletic programs in the conference. The Gamecocks have won 62 OVC Championships over the last 10 years, which is 12 more than the next OVC school. JSU has seen nine of its 15 programs bring home various titles and combine for 40 trips to the NCAA post-season play.

TERRY GAMBLE HEAD COACH • THIRD SEASON
Terry Gamble was announced as the sixth head volleyball coach in Jacksonville State University’s history by then-athletics director Warren Koegel on March 7, 2014. Gamble arrived to Jacksonville having coached at the collegiate level for 18 years, where he previously compiled a 799-236 overall record. He was elected to the NJCAA Volleyball Coaches Hall of Fame in 2007, after winning three National Championships. “We are very excited to have Coach Gamble lead our volleyball program,” Koegel stated. “He is a proven winner with almost 800 career wins, and he has been successful throughout his coaching career.” “I’m very excited about the opportunity at Jacksonville State University,” Gamble said. “This program has been successful in the Ohio Valley Conference in the past, and I hope we can return back to the top of the league.”

Gamble earned his first victory at Jax State, and 800th of his career, on September 4, 2014 against Alabama A&M. He led the Gamecocks to an 18-16 mark in his debut season securing the first winning season, overall and in conference play, for the Gamecocks since 2010. JSU also returned to the Ohio Valley Conference Tournament after missing it the year prior. Gamble’s winning mentality was quickly felt in Jacksonville as he turned around a program which had fallen off in recent years. The 18 wins in 2014 were the most since the 2009 campaign, the last year JSU won the conference title. Under Gamble, senior Nicole Merget was named an All-OVC selection while freshman Allyson Zuhlke made the conference’s All-Newcomer team. The success has carried over to the classroom as well with 21 Gamecocks having made the OVC Commissioner’s Honor Roll from Gamble’s first two teams. Three players have been honored the Academic Medal of Honor including junior Charis Ludtke who’s earned the award twice. Since 2014, JSU has claimed three consecutive ACVA Team Academic Awards. The 2015 squad carried a combined 3.51 GPA throughout the 2015-16 academic year.

Now entering his third season at the helm, Gamble hopes to build off the solid foundation put into place during his first two years. The injuries of 2015 gave way for young players to gain experience. That experience now returns with a plan to recapture the momentum built in 2014 with a return trip to the OVC Championships. The 2016 roster features zero seniors and only five juniors, the remaining 12 players are all underclassmen. Before his hire at JSU, Gamble spent the previous four years as the head coach at McNeese State. A program that had also struggled prior to his arrival. He led the Cowgirls to the Southland Conference Tournament in his first season in Lake Charles. At McNeese, he coached four players who were named to the All-Southland Conference team, including the 2012 SLC Newcomer of the Year. Gamble has spent most of his coaching career in the junior college ranks, coaching at Midland Lutheran College before taking over at McNeese State in 2009. In 2006, Gamble was voted the American Volleyball Coaches Association (AVCA) National Coach of the Year. He has been named the NJCAA Coach of the Year three times. His 2006 team won the Academic Team of the Year award.
D Coach of the Year awards; one District 8 Coach of the Year; seven Regional Coach of the Year honors and six Conference Coach of the Year accolades. He has won eight Regional Championships, six State Championships and twelve Conference Championships over his career. Gamble has coached 14 All-Americans, 17 Academic All-Americans, three NJCAA National Players of the Year, 17 All-Tournament players, 19 Regional Players of the Year, 33 All-Region Tournament players, 12 conference Players of the Year, two conference Newcomer of the Year, 40 All-State/All-Region players, 47 All-Conference and 35 All-Conference honorable mention players. He had a Top 20 National Ranking in 14 of his 15 junior college seasons. Gamble also spent time at the Club level where he tutored seven All-Americans, won seven State Championships and earned a Top 50 National Ranking every season. He coached more than 100 players that received collegiate scholarships and 80-plus players that won AAU/ USAV Tournament Championships. Gamble, a graduate of the United States Sports Academy, helped his 1997 team win the National Championship and was an All-American as a setter on the Western Michigan men’s club team.
Prior to his stint at Midland Lutheran College, Gamble spent one season as first assistant at Texas Tech and prior to that was the head coach at Iowa Western Community College in Council Bluffs, Iowa, from 200508. Gamble guided IWCC to the NJCAA National Championship in 2006, a fourth-place finish at the National Championships in 2008 and seventh-place finish in 2007. He coached the AVCA Player of the Year in 2006. A native of Michigan, Gamble also coached at St. Clair County Community College in Port Huron, Mich., from 1999-2004.

GRADUATE ASSISTANT COACH • FIRST SEASON
Barbara Conceicao, better known throughout the program as “Cebo” (pronounced SEE-bo), begins her first fall working with the Jacksonville State indoor volleyball team. Conceicao joined Coach Terry Gamble’s coaching staff as a graduate assistant in the spring of 2016 and immediately assisted with the program’s inaugural beach volleyball season. Though a native of Rio de janiero, Brazil, Conceicao is no stranger to Division I volleyball or Terry Gamble’s system. She was a freshman on Gamble’s final team at Iowa Western CC in 2008 where they put together a 54-6 season.
THE CONCEICAO FILE
After her two seasons at IWCC, Conceicao was highly sought after by many Division I programs. She landed in Lubbock, Texas at Texas Tech where Gamble was briefly an assistant before moving on to become a head coach. In her two seasons with the Red Raiders she consistently put up strong
numbers against some of the best teams in the country playing in the Big 12 Conference. Conceicao missed only one match while at Tech, and led the team in hitting percentage and total blocks as a senior in 2010. In her junior season she was among the leaders in the Big 12 in blocks per set and ranked as high as No. 4 nationally in the category at one time. She had career highs of 12 in blocks and kills coming against Stephen F. Austin and Gonzaga, respectively. She also had standout performances on some of the biggest stages hitting .556 against No. 8 Illinois and collecting three solo blocks against No. 2 Texas.

THE OHIO VALLEY CONFERENCE
2016 Me dia Guide • • • THE OVC
Now in its 69th 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. McGee (1986-99), and William A. Meehan (1999-present). Jacksonville State University has developed into a modern regional university serving Northeast Alabama on a 392-acre campus with 63 buildings.

GREG SEITZ
reg Seitz was named Director of Athletics at Jacksonville State by President Dr. John M. Beehler on February 26, 2016 after more than two decades of service to the University. Seitz, who is in his 24th year in the athletic department at JSU, served as interim Athletic Director for 14 months, marking his third term as the interim Athletic Director for the Gamecock athletic department. “We are very excited to have Greg Seitz lead our athletic department,” Dr. Beehler said. “Greg is very well respected in the OVC, the NCAA and nationally, and has proven himself while serving in the interim role. We work very well together. With his excellent contacts, he will do an outstanding job leading our athletic department into its bright future. I’m pleased to remove the interim title and introduce him as our Athletic Director.” In Seitz’s 18 months at the helm, the Gamecocks have seen unprecedented success on the field and in the classroom. The 201516 season saw JSU’s highest ever finish in the men’s Capital One Cup at No. 18, ranking the Gamecocks in the top 20 athletic departments among 347 NCAA Division I athletic programs. The 2015 football season saw the football team post it’s first-ever No. 1 ranking in school history, and earn the No. 1 National seed in the FCS Playoffs before advancing to JSU’s first Division I National Championship Game appearance. The Gamecocks set more than 50 school records and ranked in the top three in attendance at the FCS level after hosting three-straight home playoff games. In the classroom, the Gamecock studentathletes posted an impressive 3.11 cumulative grade-point average for last year, marking the fourth-straight year the student-athletes have achieved this outstanding honor. Additionally, 14 of the 17 sports at Jax State posted a team grade point average higher than a 3.0, while the Gamecock football team claimed the OVC Team Academic Honor for the second straight year. Seitz has been with JSU since 1993, when he began working as assistant sports information director. In 1999, he became Sports Information Director and was promoted to
Associate Athletic Director in 2002, before being promoted to Senior Associate Athletic Director in 2011. “I am extremely humbled and honored to have the opportunity to serve as the Athletic Director at Jacksonville State,” Seitz said. “I would like to thank President Beehler, the Board of Trustees and the entire Jax State family for their trust and faith in me as we continue to move the athletic department forward. It is an opportunity that I do not take for granted, and I will work hard every day to ensure that we continue to be successful, both in the classroom and on the fields and courts of competition.” During his term as interim and Athletic Director, the JSU football team has enjoyed a rise to national prominence. The Gamecocks are unbeaten in Ohio Valley Conference play over the past two years, claiming backto-back titles and automatic bids into the FCS Playoffs. During the 2014-15 athletic year, both the Jacksonville State men’s and women’s athletics teams were recognized in the final Capital One Cup standings, which honor the nation’s best Division I athletic programs. The Gamecock men’s team finished 61st, while the women finished 71st out of 347 NCAA Division I athletic programs. “Greg Seitz has been a loyal employee who has stepped in to head the Athletic Department in critical times and he is deserving of this opportunity,” said Mr. Jim Bennett, chairman of the JSU Board of Trustees. “His proven ability to network with other universities and the NCAA is a valuable asset to JSU.” Seitz has been instrumental in many of the facility upgrades at Jacksonville State, including renovations at Pete Mathews Coliseum and the lobby of the football field house. Seitz was also involved in the design and addition of the football stadium, and the recent softball stadium and dressing room expansion. In the summer of 2016, Seitz unveiled plans for a $7.5 million renovation to JSU’s Baseball
Stadium, Rudy Abbott Field. The project will be completed in time for the 2018 season and will include a 1,000-seat spectator grand stand with a shade canopy, an elevated, shaded entertainment or hospitality deck and service amenities, a new state-of-the-art press box to include radio and television broadcast booths, and a game operations center. The Gamecocks’ home dugout will be located along the third-base line and adjacent to a new clubhouse that will feature a locker room, lounge, team meeting area and athletic training treatment area. The clubhouse will be attached to an enclosed training facility that will allow for batting and pitching workouts. New step-down team dugouts, bullpens, new coaches offices and meeting space will also be included in the project.

We feel that the work that he has done speaks volumes, and the knowledge of the University and its culture made Greg the best person for the job.” Seitz has served on the NCAA Men’s Final Four Media Coordinator team for the last seven years and was recently named to the NCAA FCS Football Committee in 2016.
