McGinnis’

Coaching Philosophy

“Athletics is one of the greatest ways to prepare our young people for life. So, in a way, I feel responsible for trying to help these young athletes take their first steps into the “real world.” To be successful in athletics, an athlete must work hard, be focused on what their goals are, be committed and be willing to work with others. My philosophy is very simple and easy to comprehend. The players understand from the first day on campus that they will always give 110% in whatever they do, whether it is in the classroom or on the field. They will always strive to be a better softball player and person than they were the day before. They will respect their teammates, coaches and teachers. And, they will be “winners” in everything they do. Our softball program will always strive to represent JSU in a positive way. I feel that when you have a team full of players who strive for excellence, you can’t help having a winning season.” Champions

Why We Are

the Gamecocks “Go Eagle Owls!” would be the resounding cry from BurgessSnow Field today if ardent fans hadn’t decided 70 years ago that the school mascot should be a bird of a different feather. Jacksonville State University’s first football team was fielded in the late 1800’s and nicknamed in honor of a rare predatory bird found near the Arctic circle. The exact details are lost to history, but a group of fans decided it was hard for the school’s image to soar like an eagle if the team’s name was something of a turkey. People like E.C. Wilson, Bruce Chase and Charles Sprayberry felt a more collegiatesounding moniker would be more appropriate. The supporters looked to Southern culture rather than the north pole to symbolize the school’s tough spirit. Tongue firmly planted in beak, Gamecock supporters crowed the loudest, and the University found itself with a new identity: a mascot familiar to everyone, including the farm boys who comprised most of the student body back then. For nearly a half-century – up until 1946 – the fledgling Eagle Owls hooted with pride from the scanty facilities adjacent to the field at John Forney National Guard Armory. The State Normal School (SNS) team was sparse by today’s standards, but the gridiron action was competitive from the start. Present day rivalries such as Samford (Howard College) and Troy State were rooted in those early games. The team had only 23 players when SNS was renamed Jacksonville Teachers College in 1946, with Head Coach Don Salls beginning his first season, but there was a “big school” atmosphere developing in the foothills. Along with the new name came new colors. The blue and gold were tossed out in favor of the familiar red and white worn by the area high school players. The story goes that there were two camps - those who wanted to keep the Eagle Owl nickname and those who wanted new colors. Legend has it that a compromise was worked out; new colors for a new mascot. It was all worked out by 1947 when the Fighting Gamecocks took to the field for the first time. And, as is true to the nature of the warlike bird itself, the football team and other athletes fought their way to respectability in intercollegiate ranks - eventually bringing home a national championship in every major sport.

A Renovated Home For JSU Softball

D I

University Field

The Gamecocks upgraded their longtime home before the 2013 season, when the old grandstands at University Field were torn down to make way for a new state-of-the-art press box with suites and radio/tv booths and a 2,000-seat facility that features chairback seating behind home plate. JSUâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s home since a Feb. 15, 1996 doubleheader against Tennessee State, the University Field renovations came full circle before the 2014 season, when the old dugouts that served as the home of the Gamecock baseball and softball teams for years were torn down and new sunken dugouts with restrooms and a dressing facility for the Gamecocks were installed, making University Field one of the best Division I softball facilities in the Southeast.

M E D I A I N F O R M A T I O N

During the 2009 season, the Gamecocks added a stateof-the-art video scoreboard just beyond the left field wall. The new scoreboard was constructed in memory of former Gamecock great Tera Ross, who was tragically killed in a car accident in 2003.

O N A T I N F O R M I A D I E M

The Gamecocks Locker Room

The 2014 season saw the Gamecocks move out of their former dressing room in Kennamer Hall into their new locker room at University Field. The Gamecocks now dress in the facility that opens into their home dugout. The new building, completed as part of phase II of the University Field upgrade, houses a locker room, restrooms and showers and a laundry facility. The Gamecocks added wall graphics in the building during the 2014 season.

Head Coach

Jana McGinnis

Jana McGinnis has developed a softball program at Jacksonville State University that is second to none. She places integrity, success and tradition at the heart of each player and doesn’t stop there. In McGinnis’ 24th season at the helm of the Gamecocks, their head-first dive into the Ohio Valley Conference resulted in a quick rise to the top and they’ve stayed there. In fact, in their 13 seasons in the OVC, the Gamecocks have won over 70 percent of their games, including almost 80 percent of their conference matchups. The 2016 season may have been her best, with McGinnis’ Gamecocks winning the OVC Regular Season Crown with a perfect 26-0 record. The best regular season by any team in OVC history was followed with the OVC Tournament title and a trip to the NCAA Regionals, where Jax State finished as runner-up to National Runner-Up Auburn. That 2016 team won 43 games, McGinnis’ 10th 40-win season at JSU and featured the OVC’s Player of the Year in Ella Denes and the OVC Pitcher of the Year in Whitney Gillespie. McGinnis claimed her fifth OVC Coach of the Year honor. She earned her 800th career win in the season’s final weekend and saw JSU earn votes in the NFCA Coaches Top 25 Poll at season’s end. Her Gamecocks won the 2014 OVC Regular Season title and posted the ninth 40-win season in her tenure. The 40-15 recard also pushed McGinnis over the 700 wins mark for her career and saw her garner another OVC Coach of the Year honor. After a season that saw them finish as the No. 6 seed in the 2013 OVC Tournament, the Gamecocks did what they’ve done consistently in the postseason - win. They rolled through the Conference Tournament and into the NCAA Tuscaloosa Regional, Jax State’s sixth NCAA Appearance and the fifth in a six-season run.

During her tenure at JSU, McGinnis has accumulated an overall record of 807445 (.645). Her accomplishments are plentiful, including the 2009 OVC regular season title and the school’s first at-large berth in the NCAA Tournament, as well as its first trip to the Super Regionals. Her 2009 squad also made its first appearance in the national polls, finishing the year ranked as high as No. 21 nationally. She also boasts OVC regular season crowns in 2005, 2008, 2014 and 2016, as well as OVC Tourney Championships and automatic NCAA appearances in 2008, 2010, 2011, 2013 and 2016. Her Gamecocks won the Atlantic Sun Tournament Title and a berth in the NCAA Regional Tournament in 1996. In her early years, she guided JSU to back-to-back A-Sun Western Division Conference titles in 1996 and 1997. She, with the help of long-time assistant coaches Mark Wisener and Julie Boland, has led the Gamecocks to 19 consecutive trips to the Conference Tournament and 10 40-win seasons, including a streak of four-straight from 2003-2006. In just 13 seasons in the OVC, JSU has won 244 of its 323 (.755) conference games and seven league titles while placing 75 players on the all-conference squads. Her players have been dominant against their peers. Daniela Pappano was named the 2006 OVC Player of the Year, while JSU also swept the 2005 Player and Pitcher of the Year honors, thanks to outstanding efforts from outfielder Maigin Alexander and pitcher Carly Kellam. Pitcher Ashley Eliasson was named the league’s Freshman of the Year in 2008 before the 2009 campaign saw Nikki Prier and Karla Pittman earn the OVC’s Player and Pitcher of the Year awards, respectively. In 2011, pitcher Tiffany Harbin became the first Gamecock to earn OVC Freshman of the Year honors and she then won OVC Pitcher of the Year honors in 2014, giving the Gamecocks another sweep with Sara Borders claiming Player of the Year.

Since 2002, the Gamecocks have attracted regional attention, having been ranked in the South Region poll several times. McGinnis has coached 124 All-Conference and All-Freshman team members and nine Players of the Year, including Ann Shelton in the A-Sun in 1996. McGinnis is no stranger to winning, outside and between the lines. A 1991 graduate of JSU, McGinnis was a two-time All-Gulf South Conference guard in basketball. She helped the Gamecocks to a 98-22 record during her fouryear playing career, and, in 1991, she played a key role leading JSU to a GSC Championship and the NCAA Division II South Region title. McGinnis still holds the JSU career record for assists with 603, as well as the single-season record with 204. Following her playing career, she and her twin sister Dana Austin, formerly the JSU women’s basketball head coach, became the only players in JSU women’s basketball history to have their numbers retired.

They climbed another rung of the ladder in 2009, ousting James Madison, Nebraska and Tennessee to claim the NCAA Knoxville Regional crown and advance to the NCAA’s Tuscaloosa Super Regional. The most decorated season in JSU’s Division I athletics history was a milestone year not only for JSU, but also the Ohio Valley Conference. It was the OVC’s first regional crown and the deepest any team in the league’s history has advanced into the national tournament. After a second-place finish in the OVC in 2011, JSU’s seventh-straight campaign in which it finished in the league’s top two, the Gamecocks claimed their fourth-straight trip to the NCAA’s by winning the OVC Tourney in Charleston, Ill. They eliminated Illinois-Chicago before falling to host Louisville in the semifinals of the Louisville Regional.

Champions

She has now been named the OVC’s Coach of the Year five times (2005, 2008, 2009, 2014, 2016) to go along with her 1996 Trans America Athletic Conference Coach of the Year honor.

JSU swept the OVC’s top honors in 2016, when Whitney Gillespie was the OVC Pitcher of the Year and Ella Denes the OVC Player of the Year.

Over the past several years, McGinnis has seen the hard work she and longtime assistants Mark Wisener and Julie Boland pay off on the national level. In 2008, she took the program one step higher on the national scene after rolling into the NCAA Regionals, where The McGinnis family. the Gamecocks earned two wins over Florida State before falling to Alabama in the regional title game on ESPN2.

In 2010, the Gamecocks swept through the OVC Tournament in Martin, Tenn., to advance to the NCAA Atlanta Regional, JSU’s third-straight NCAA appearance.

After her “bright” career as a player, McGinnis began her career in coaching as a graduate assistant under women’s basketball coach Tony Mabry during the 1991-92 season. The following year, she accepted her first head coaching job as the girls basketball coach at Cherokee County High School, where she led the Lady Warriors to the ‘93 Class 4A state championship.

Assistant Coach

Mark Wisener

Ashley Eliasson (2008 OVC Pitcher of the Year), Karla Pittman (2009 OVC Pitcher of the Year), Tiffany Harbin (2014 OVC Pitcher of the Year) and Whitney Gillespie (2016 OVC Pitcher of the Year). Wisener provides the Gamecocks and head coach Jana McGinnis with what they feel is the perfect fit to keep them competitive on what is a difficult recruiting trail.

Mark Wisener begins his 21st season as the Gamecocks’ assistant softball coach, where his energy and efforts toward the JSU program have added to the success the Gamecocks have seen in the past 20 years. In 20 seasons as a full-time assistant, he has helped JSU to an overall record of 410-274, including five OVC regular season titles, five OVC Tournament crowns and six trips to the NCAA Tournament in the past nine years and a berth in the 2009 Super Regionals.

“It takes a special personality to work with female athletes,” McGinnis said. “Coach Wisener’s sister and I are best friends, so I have known him for a long time. I trust him tremendously, and we work well together. He has a great knowledge of the game and I owe so much of our success to him.” The McGinnis-Wisener relationship, one that has brought unprecedented success to JSU, began in McGinnis’ playing days on the JSU basketball team, where she was a teammate of Wisener’s sister, Robbie. Wisener was a standout baseball player at Arab High School, starting all four years at shortstop and pitcher on the

varsity team. As a senior, he helped his team advance to the second round of the Alabama High School All-Stars Tournament. After graduating in 1989, Wisener went on to play at Snead State, where he started every game of his two-year career and was a Junior College All-Star. In 1992, Wisener left the playing field and transferred to JSU, where he earned his Bachelor of Science Degree in Computer Information Systems in the summer of 1996. “Mark has been very instrumental in the success of this program,” McGinnis added. “To have a good program, it is a must that you have a dedicated and loyal assistant. We have a great relationship and have the same goals in mind for JSU softball. We are very lucky to have him at this university.” Wisener is married to the former Lynne Scott. Lynne played softball at JSU from 1991-93, when she played second base and pitched for the Gamecocks. They have a son, Jake, and a daughter, Kacie.

Wisener’s duties have steadily increased over the time he has been at JSU. His primary job is the capacity of pitching coach, but he also works as a hitting coach and has the “final word” before the batter steps up to the plate. Finally, he schedules and oversees the team workouts and is a key in the recruiting process for the Gamecocks. As the Gamecocks’ pitching coach, he has coached six conference Pitchers of the Year in Ann Shelton (1996 TAAC Player of the Year), Carly Kellam (2005 OVC Pitcher of the Year),

which are emphasized on the hitters and middle infield.

Boland has seen great success from the dugout of her alma mater, helping Jana McGinnis to five Ohio Valley Conference crowns, five OVC Tournament titles, six trips to the NCAA Regionals in a six-year stretch and the school’s first-ever trip to the NCAA Super Regionals in 2009.

“I love being at JSU,” Boland said. “I learn something new everyday from the coaching staff and players. I wouldn’t want to be anywhere else right now.”

Prior to being hired as a full-time assistant, Boland was a student assistant and graduate assistant coach dating back to the 2001 and 2002 seasons. Over the years, JSU head coach Jana McGinnis has placed more and more responsibility on Boland.

Julie Boland begins her 16th year as an assistant coach on the softball staff, but her

She serves as the recruiting coordinator for the Gamecocks, which includes sending mail-outs, organizing recruiting calls and prospective student-athlete visits. Boland also has other administrative duties to go along with her on-field coaching duties,

A former JSU player, Boland put her mark on the Gamecock record book. She is seventh in all-time hits with 198, 16th in doubles with 26, 18th in homeruns with 10, ninth in runs batted in with 100 and sixth in stolen bases with 26. Boland is also in the top five on JSU’s alltime lists in runs scored with 142 (fifth) and at-bats with 627 (sixth). She is also 16th on Jax State’s single-season runs list with 42. Boland graduated in 2002 with an Education Degree. She has since received her Master’s Degree in Counseling from JSU.

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.

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 back-to-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.

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- “Greg Seitz has been a loyal employee who has stepped in to head the Athletic straight home playoff games.

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 stepdown team dugouts, bullpens, new coaches offices and meeting space will also be included in the project. “Greg has worked tirelessly for a number of years in the athletic department at JSU, and also worked with the NCAA and AHSAA on several projects,” said Mr. Thomas Dedrick, chairman of the Athletic Committee of the JSU Board of Trustees. “In each capacity, Greg has earned the respect of both coaches and administrators. 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. He also serves as a site representative for the NCAA during the Baseball Regionals and Super Regionals. He has also worked numerous NCAA Championships and Alabama High School Athletic Association events over the last 23 years. In 2002, he became the first SID elected as President of the Alabama Sports Writers Association and currently serves as the organization’s secretary and treasurer.

www.OVCsports.com Entering its 65th year, the Ohio Valley Conference continues to build on the success that has made it the nation’s eightholdest NCAA Division I conference. In 2012, for only the third time in the past decade, the Conference expanded by adding Belmont University as the league’s 12th member. The OVC’s proud past 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. The vision of leadership demonstrated by the Founding Fathers in 1948 remains alive today as the Ohio Valley Conference prepares for the future. One example is in regard to the current trend in collegiate athletics administration for increased involvement of university presidents in setting policies and making rules. The presidents of OVC institutions, however, have always governed the Conference, long before presiden-

tial governance became a national theme. The Ohio Valley Conference sponsors the following sports: baseball, basketball, cross country, football, golf, tennis and track for men, and basketball, cross country, golf, soccer, softball, tennis, track and volleyball for women. In addition, the OVC also sponsors the combined men’s and women’s sport of rifle. Now in its sixth decade of competition, the Ohio Valley Conference has grown significantly from its humble beginnings while increasing the number of athletics opportunities it provides for students. Current league representatives include charter members Eastern Kentucky University, Morehead State University and Murray State University, along with Austin Peay State University, Belmont University, Eastern Illinois University, Jacksonville State University, Southeast Missouri State University, Southern Illinois University Edwardsville, Tennessee State University, Tennessee Technological University and the University of Tennessee at Martin.

THE HISTORY 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. 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.
