(11 High school players; 9 JUCO transfers)

2014 Outlook

The Northwestern State baseball team enters the 2014 season with an almost completely new lineup, pitching staff, and roster, but second-year head coach Lane Burroughs and his staff does not expect that to hinder the year’s goals. “I really like our club,” said Burroughs. “Our team’s chemistry is as good as I’ve ever been around, right now. I think once our team fully ‘gels’ by playing together and getting some games under them we should have a successful season.” The Demons return 10 lettermen from 2013 club, including four position players with starting experience and four pitchers who recorded innings last year. Of the returners, Andrew Adams is the only three-year letterman and four others are seniors that transferred in before the 2013 campaign. Senior Steven Spann and Cody But-

PITCHERS: Spann finished the year with the Demons’ lowest earned run average last season at 2.30 in 27 appearances. His 27 appearances rank as fourth in a season in Demon baseball history. Cody Butler finished the season with a 3-4 record and 4.66 ERA in 11 starts. Spann and Butler are expected to get the Friday and Saturday spots in the rotation, respectively. “Spann and Butler are back and right now we are going with Friday and Saturday for those two guys,” said Burroughs. “They have been through it. They have been through the stressful innings and the battles.” Newcomer Gault gets the Sunday spot in the rotation and Hunter Duvic has the ability to relieve if needed. Duvic could also be a midweek starter. “[Gault] probably has one of the best arms on the club,” said Burroughs. “He has electric stuff and it’s just a matter of him being in the zone and navigating through the lineup more than one time.” Gault was voted an Under Armour and Rawlings All-American. He and Duvic led Hinds Community College to a state championship. “Duvic has been lights out. If we have a chance to win the ball game on weekends and the starter’s pitch count is up, we’ll put Duvic in the game,” said Burroughs. “He’ll pitch in the middle of the week if we don’t use him on the weekend.”

Edwin Gomez

ler will lead the team from the mound. Other players back on the bump this season are Joey Parrack and late-innings reliever Cameron Brewer. Edwin Gomez and Nathan Lyons will be back to lead NSU in the lineup along with sophomores Regan Kaufman and Cort Brinson. Northwestern State adds 20 newcomers to the 2014 roster along with two redshirted players from last season’s team. Junior transfers Bret Underwood (Mobile, Ala./Faulkner State CC) and C.J. Webster (Rancho Santa Margarita, Calif./Crowder College) are expected to make noise in the Demon lineup this season. John Gault (Shreveport La./Hinds CC), who earned a spot in the weekend rotation, is expected to be a force on the mound. “Some of our strengths this season are running, athleticism, physicality, and defending the field,” said Burroughs. “I feel like we can handle the bat in any situation. We have the ability to be a lot better offensively, and I like our ability to handle the bat and the barrel. “Whether it’s a hit-and-run, drag, or squeeze, we can handle the baseball bat,” he said. “I have not been on a lot of teams where the 1-9 hitters in a lineup can all handle the bat, but this team can do it.”

Northwestern State Demon Baseball Austin Tanner, who was a two-time all-district vote for St. Amant HS, has impressed the coaching staff. “Austin Tanner is battling for a midweek starting spot as a freshman,” said Burroughs. Josh Oller, Caleb Dugas and Cameron Brewer will serve in the late innings. “Josh Oller with Caleb Dugas and Brewer are the late inning closer-type guys,” said Burroughs. “We may bring Dugas off first base and let him close out the games or Josh Oller may come in. All of those guys have good secondary pitches and can shove the ball in the strike zone.” Other newcomers who projected to contribute this season are Josh Morris and Evan Tidwell. “Our young freshman arms have really been a very pleasant surprise,” said Burroughs. “I feel like we can really fill the strike zone.” POSITION PLAYERS The Demons graduated both of their starting catchers from last season, but have brought in newcomers who can fill the role. C.J. Webster of Crowder College, Kelsey Richard of Sam Houston High School, and Garrett Logan, who redshirted last season, will be able to step in with ease. “We brought in C.J. to be our starter and that’s what he is going to be. He really runs the team like we want our catchers to run it,” said Burroughs. “He’s very vocal, has a lot of energy, and is like a coach on the field. That is what you want out of your catcher.” Webster had a .310 hitting average with six home runs along with 55 runs batted in, .466 slugging percentage, and .400 on-base percentage at Crowder College. Richard was a three-time all-district selection for Sam Houston. “Kelsey Richard has been phenomenal,” said Burroughs. “He still has some work to do behind the plate, but he has a chance to be really good not only offensively, but as a catcher. “Garrett Logan is recovering from a hamstring injury and that has really hampered him,” he said. “We really feel good about all three of those guys.” The Demons will have one familiar and one new face in the middle of the infield with the only returner being Gomez. Gomez, who had the Demons’ third-highest batting average of .263 along with four doubles and a triple, will join with Joel Atkinson (San Clemente, Calif./Midland College). “Joel and Gomez have been outstanding up the middle. They are what you want for the double-play commination,” said Burroughs. “I really anticipate turning a lot of double plays this year. That is the

goal and expectation for those guys this year.” Atkinson played in a junior college all-star game and was an academic All-American. “They are both fast guys with good action, good hands and good arms. They have the chance to be as good a middle combo as has ever played at NSU,” Burroughs said. Newcomers Chase Daughdrill and Dugas will anchor the corner infield positions. “Chase Daughdrill and Caleb Dugas will be the starters and Regan Kaufman will back both of those guys,” said Burroughs. “All three of those guys can play both of the corner infield positions.” Daughdrill had a .389 batting average in 58 games and was named as a second team all-conference selection at third base. Dugas set a single season school record for batting average (.494). “We feel that is a really, really strong part of our team, not only defensively but at the plate as well,” said Burroughs. Matt Alford will back up all infield positions. The outfield shows a ton of promise for the season. It has one starting returner in Cort Brinson who hit .239 as a freshman. He led the Demon with three home runs in the 2013 campaign. Newcomer Bret Underwood will anchor playing centerfield after transferring from Faulkner State Community College. “Bret Underwood may be one of the best centerfielders I have ever been around, and I really do mean that,” said Burroughs. “Offensively he is a switch hitter that can really run. He’s very physical and can make plays in the outfield that are out of this world.” Underwood hit for a .346 average in his freshman season at Faulkner with five home runs and 36 runs batted in his freshman season. Redshirt-freshman Nick Heath had a tremendous summer and was named as a Perfect Game Summer All-American along with top prospect honors from Baseball America. “Nick Heath has all the tools to play at the next level. He’s the best runner on the team and has a good arm,” said Burroughs. “He had a great summer, but he hasn’t played a lot.” Jake Clouatre and Nathan Lyons will see time in the outfield as well. Lyons can also serve as a designated hitter.

Northwestern State Demon Baseball

LANE BURROUGHS HEAD COACH SECOND SEASON AT NORTHWESTERN STATE MISSISSIPPI COLLEGE ‘95 • @LANEBURROUGHS23 It is quite possible the future of Demon baseball was foreshadowed in the run that Mississippi State took to the NCAA College World Series championship game last summer, because one of the architects of that team is entering his second season as head coach at Northwestern State. Lane Burroughs, who served as recruiting coordinator and assistant coach for the Bulldogs from 2009-12, was hired to be the Demons’ head coach on June 12, 2012 and has already put together two noteworthy recruiting classes at NSU. The second-year skipper and his staff’s efforts earned NSU to be recognized by Baseball America for its “strong” 2014 recruiting class – the first time the Demon coaches had a full year in the recruiting cycle. The Baseball America analysts mentioned the likes of Joel Atkinson, C.J. Webster and John Gault among the two-dozen strong NSU newcomers who should make an impact on the 2014 season, and years to come. Northwestern State was one of only three Southland programs to receive high marks from Baseball America for their 2014 classes. Burroughs spent the 2013 season beginning the rebuilding of a proud program, the winningest in the Southland Conference since 1990. With an average of nearly 36 victories per season, the Demons captured nine Southland championships in a 14-year span (1991-2005). While adding some late signees to the squad on hand that had struggled through the first two losing seasons since 1990, Burroughs’ first campaign as head man was a tough go with a 16-40 record. The culture was established, but the talent level was simply not sufficient. Now with a sparkling group of newcomers in the dugout, mixed with some stalwarts who returned from last season, the overwhelming majority of Demon followers and college baseball observers sense the Demons are ready for a turnaround season in 2014. As an assistant, Burroughs has coached eight NCAA Regional tournament teams and helped guide Northwestern State to the 1998 Southland Conference championship. Burroughs was a key factor in Mississippi State’s recruiting efforts, which garnered top 25 national ranking in each season he was a Bulldog. Last summer, MSU advanced to the College World Series and surged through its bracket unbeaten to reach the best-ofthree championship finals, but fell to UCLA’s hot pitching for the NCAA crown in Omaha. Led by former Demon coach John Cohen, State won the 2012 Southeastern Conference Tournament championship, in Burroughs’ last season there, and made a second

straight NCAA Regional appearance a year after nearly making the 2012 College World Series field, falling in a nail-biting NCAA Super Regional loss at Florida. During his time at Mississippi State, Burroughs coached 14 Major League Baseball draft picks. Seven went in 2013, including first rounder Hunter Renfroe, a five-tool rightfielder who was chosen in the first round, 13th overall. Six Burroughs-coached or recruited players were named All-Americans. The Bulldogs had 56 All-SEC Academic Honor Roll selections in his time. Before joining Cohen in the rebuilding of a once-proud program at Mississippi State, he helped Kansas State emerge as a Big 12 Conference contender, coaching under Brad Hill as the Wildcats reached the Big 12 Conference Tournament champion game in 2008.

In a year at Kansas State, Burroughs coached hitters, outfielders and was in charge of recruiting with 14 players drafted and seven top 10 round selections. During his seven seasons at Southern Mississippi, the Golden Eagles had five top 10-round draft picks and produced four major league players while winning their first Conference USA title in 2003 and winning 47 games a year later while setting school records for hits, runs and RBI. Burroughs was on Corky Palmer’s staff at Southern Mississippi from 1999-2007, serving as recruiting coordinator, hitting coach, infield coach and third base coach as the Golden Eagles made their first six NCAA Regional appearances. When he took over at Northwestern State, Burroughs stepped into a post that has been held by some of the finest coaches in college baseball, and the 18-year coaching veteran received ringing endorsements from former Demon baseball coaches Jim Wells, Dave Van Horn, Rob Childress, Cohen and Mitch Gaspard, among others. He worked under Van Horn and Cohen, and with Childress, in 1997-98 at Northwestern, and arrived back in Natchitoches in 2012 after four years alongside Cohen at Mississippi State. NSU is regarded as one of the more remarkable “cradle of coaches” in modern day college basketball history. Wells (an NSU alumnus who was the Demons’ head coach from 1990-94) retired in 2009 as the greatest coach in Alabama history and Gaspard (first an assistant under Wells at NSU in 1993-94) succeeded him at ‘Bama and nearly reached the College World Series two years ago. Van Horn followed Wells in the Demon dugout, and left NSU in December 1997 to take over at Nebraska. He just steered Arkansas into another CWS berth, the fifth of his career along with a Division II national championship. Childress was Van Horn’s pitching coach at NSU (199597) and Nebraska, then took over at Texas A&M and has developed a

Top 10-ranked program. Cohen, the Demons’ bench boss from 1998-2001 before Gaspard took the helm, later sparked Kentucky to a Southeastern Conference championship before engineering Mississippi State’s return as a college baseball power. Wells, Van Horn, and Cohen each have won national Coach of the Year honors. “It’s time to get back to Demon baseball, which means having a program that will challenge for conference titles and postseason berths, and Lane Burroughs’ background and personal qualities make him the person to help achieve that goal,” said NSU Director of Athletics Greg Burke at the press conference announcing his new coach. “Our goal is to bring Northwestern State back to being the premiere baseball program in the Southland Conference, and in the process prepare young men for unlimited possibilities in their future,” said Burroughs. At the 2014 Demon Baseball First Pitch Banquet Jan. 31, Burke said: “Lane was absolutely the right hire for Demon baseball. I felt that way when he was hired, and having watched him begin to rebuild the program, in every facet, I’m even more confident. “Baseball acumen aside, Lane is good for our department and for our community. He is a players’ coach who holds his young men accountable while at the same time creating an encouraging atmosphere in the clubhouse and in the dugout,” said Burke, who gave Cohen and Gaspard their first head coaching jobs. “He’s surrounded himself with dynamic young coaches. The energy level in our program is fantastic. The sense that we’re heading for great success is undeniable, and it’s being done in a first-class manner, the right way.” “It’s his (Burroughs’) time and he is certainly qualified to do that job,” said Wells, a Northwestern alumnus, at the time Burroughs was hired. “He has SEC experience, has a stable demeanor and is level-headed; he has acquired baseball knowledge, and is well-respected. He specifically has great reputation regionally, which is where Northwestern State will get most of its players. “The bottom line is this - when his name was mentioned to me as a candidate for the Northwestern State job, I just thought to myself ‘yeah, that sounds right,’ ” said Wells, 192-89 with three Southland titles and two NCAA Regional appearances from 1990-94 at NSU, before guiding Alabama to three CWS appearances including a 1997 national runner-up finish, six SEC Tournament crowns and five regular-season championships from 1995-2009. Cohen, whose 2012 team posted a cumulative 3.31 grade point average, was effusive in praising his assistant coach. He actively pushed for Burroughs to take over the Demon program. “He has worked hard for this head coaching opportunity and can handle all aspects of that job at Northwestern State,” said Cohen, 146-84 from 1998-2001 as the Demons’ coach, with SLC titles in 1998 and 2001. “He related to well to our players. I asked him step in for me and give a pre-game speech during a tough stretch for us this past year (2012) and he knocked it out of the park to the point that I had him speak several more times during the season. He is that guy that I can envision speaking to the Kiwanis Club and immediately winning over fans and alumni.” “He has a fire in his belly that will help him be successful,” said Childress, who helped Van Horn’s NSU teams win Southland titles in 1995 and 1997, and has guided the A&M Aggies to the 2011 CWS and two more NCAA Super Regionals after his Nebraska pitchers helped Van Horn’s Cornhuskers make CWS appearances in 2001 and 2002. “Lane can 100 percent do that job,” said Gaspard, who led the Demons a 210-138 record, Southland titles in 2002 and 2005, and a 2005 NCAA Regional appearance, and has since added two more NCAA berths in his first three years running the Crimson Tide program. “He is very, very well-respected in baseball circles and he will do things the right way. He is very professional and will represent the program and the school well. He can sit down with anybody from a booster to an administrator to a player and they’re going to walk away saying ‘that’s a classy guy.’” Burroughs and his wife Susan have three children, Parker Grace (11), Camryn Laine (9) and Thomas Jackson (5). It’s common to see Jackson in a small Demon jersey and cap, with his glove, on the hilltop behind the grandstand playing whiffleball with his buddies during Demon home games. Burroughs was a catcher and outfielder and a pre-law major at Mississippi College, where he earned an undergraduate degree in 1995. A year later, he received his master’s in social sciences as a graduate assistant coach and he moved to East Mississippi Community College as an assistant coach in 1997 before getting hired at NSU by Van Horn that summer. When Van Horn left for Nebraska, Burroughs steered the NSU program for a few weeks before Cohen arrived in Natchitoches in January 1998. Now he’s at the helm again, with his first full signing class in the dugout, locking shields to forge a new and even greater tradition of championship success for Northwestern State baseball.

CHRIS CURRY ASSISTANT COACH SECOND SEASON AT NORTHWESTERN STATE MISSISSIPPI STATE ‘99 • @CCURRY11 Chris Curry, a former Arkansas Razorbacks assistant coach who guided Meridian (Miss.) Community College to a conference championship this spring, enters his second season as pitching coach for the Northwestern State baseball program. He was a part of the coaching staff that assembled the 2014 recruiting class that received national acclaim from Baseball America. In the feature it included John Gault who is expected to make a big impact on the season. Curry, a veteran of seven years as catcher in professional baseball with the Chicago Cubs and San Francisco Giants organizations, was hired by the Demons’ new head coach, Lane Burroughs. The 2012 Miss-Lou Conference coach of the year, Curry was 69-44 in two seasons at Meridian CC following two years under former Demon head coach Dave Van Horn at Arkansas. Curry played for legendary coach Ron Polk as a catcher at Mississippi State in 1999. Curry, 35, coached two junior college All-Americans and produced the leading home run hitters in the NJCAA in both seasons he was head coach. Two of his players were selected in the 2012 major league baseball draft while the team raised its cumulative grade point average from 2.62 to 3.30 in Curry’s two seasons in charge. The Eagles were 69-44 under his leadership. He coached under Van Horn and associate head coach Keith Butler at Arkansas, working with the catchers and assisting Butler with the hitters. He coached third and first base, assisted with calling pitches, scouting and practice organization. In 2009, Razorback catchers led the Southeastern Conference in runners caught stealing (34) after ranking last in the league in that stat a year before Curry came on board. He helped develop three Razorback standouts who went in the top two rounds of the draft, including 2010 SEC batting champion Zack Cox. Arkansas reached the Tempe Super Regional in 2010 as Razorback catchers led the SEC in fewest passed balls (3).

A year earlier, Curry helped Arkansas finish fourth at the 2009 College World Series. At Arkansas Tech in the 2008 season as an assistant coach, he worked with the hitters and catchers as the Wonder Boys raised their team batting average by 26 points to a robust .311, producing the individual Gulf South Conference batting champion (Jantzen Black, .452). His seven-year pro playing career included appearances in major league spring training games from 2002-05 and he caught big leaguers Kerry Wood, Carlos Zambrano, Mark Prior and Tom Gordon in minor league starts. Curry worked up to the Triple-A level with the Cubs organization between 1999-2002. He was in Double-A with the Giants until the 2005 season, then concluded his pro career in 2006 by becoming an All-Star with the independent Northern League’s Gary Southshore Railcats. At two different stops in his career, he played for current Cubs third-base coach Pat Listach, a Natchitoches native and the 1992 National League Rookie of the Year. A native of Conway, Ark., Curry was an all-state pitcher and catcher for Conway High School’s Wampus Cats, setting 10 hitting and catching records between 1994-96. He played two seasons at Meridian CC, where he was rated the No. 1 junior college player in the country in 19998 by Baseball America and was the starting catcher for Team USA’s Junior College All-Star team that played against Japan that year. Twice an All-Miss-Lou Conference pick and All-Region 23, he was a Cape Cod League All-Star in the summer of 1998. Curry signed with Polk’s Mississippi State squad and led the SEC’s catchers in fielding percentage in 1999 before being chosen by the Cubs in the ninth round and starting his pro career. Earlier, he had been picked by the Giants (26th round, as a high school senior in 1996), and twice by the Detroit Tigers (17th round, 1997, and 52nd round, 1998). Curry is also an accomplished speaker who has made appearances at the 2011 Arkansas Athletic Activities High School Coaches Convention, the 2010 Easton Mid-South Baseball Coaches Convention, and the 2011 One Life Leadership Summit. He and his wife Chassity are parents of a two-year-old, Caleb Christopher.

Northwestern State Demon Baseball 2014 PRESEASON BASEBALL ALL-CONFERENCE TEAMS

In an era of considerable change in intercollegiate athletics, the Southland Conference continues to be a model of innovation, stability and consistent achievement as it celebrates a half-century of the academic and athletic accomplishments of its member institutions. Commemorating its 50th anniversary in 2013, the Southland Conference has transformed itself into a dynamic and respected consortium of 14 member universities in four states. Beginning with a historic meeting of five institutions in Dallas on March 15, 1963, the Southland Conference set on an extraordinary course that has proven successful well into its five decades of existence. The successful transformation continues, as the Southland Conference welcomed the addition of Oral Roberts University in 2012-13, marking the league’s first entry into the state of Oklahoma. Also, on July 1, 2013, the Southland welcomed four additional members: Abilene Christian University, Houston Baptist University, the University of Incarnate Word in San Antonio, and the University of New Orleans. In addition to its newest members, the Southland Conference also consists of the University of Central Arkansas, Lamar University, McNeese State University, Nicholls State University, Northwestern State University, Sam Houston State University, Southeastern Louisiana University, Stephen F. Austin State University and Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi. An original Southland member, Abilene Christian rejoins the league as one of the most decorated athletic programs in NCAA history, and the addition of Houston Baptist, Incarnate Word and New Orleans gives the Southland a regular competitive presence in the key metropolitan areas of Houston, San Antonio and New Orleans. Southland cities encompass approximately 14.5 million people, and seven of its television markets rank among the top 100 in the U.S. All told, the membership of the Southland encompasses nearly 140,000 current students and an alumni base of nearly 800,000. Famous alums from current Southland Conference schools include former CBS news anchor Dan Rather (Sam Houston State), NBA executive Joe Dumars (McNeese State), ABC news anchor Robin Roberts (Southeastern Louisiana), Major League Baseball star Wade Miley (Southeastern Louisiana), NBA legend Scottie Pippen (Central Arkansas), and track and field Olympians Kenta Bell (Northwestern State), and Bobby Morrow and Billy Olson (both Abilene Christian). Other notable alums from current members include Grammy Award-winning musicians Frank Ocean (New Orleans), Don Henley and Rodney Crowell (both Stephen F. Austin), and Ronnie Dunn (Abilene Christian), television personality and actress Ellen DeGeneres (New Orleans), current NFL standouts Lardarius Webb (Nicholls State), Terrence McGee (Northwestern State), and Daniel Manning (Abilene Christian), professional golfers Shawn Stefani and Chris Stroud (both Lamar) and Colin Montgomerie (HBU), award-winning filmmaker Richard Linklater (Sam Houston State), American Idol winner Kris Allen (Central Arkansas), NFL Hall of Famer Jackie Harris (Northwestern State), former NFL standouts Bobby Hebert (Northwestern State), Gary Barbaro (Nicholls State), Wilbert Montgomery (Abilene Christian) and Gary Reasons (Northwestern State), former MLB stars Darryl Hamilton (Nicholls State) and Kevin Millar (Lamar), NCAA football coach Charlie Strong (Central Arkansas), TV personality Kathie Lee Gifford (Oral Roberts), actors John Larroquette (New Orleans), and Ricardo Chavira and Jesse Borrego (both UIW) and NFL coaching legend O.A. “Bum” Phillips (Lamar and Stephen F. Austin). Continuing its tradition of innovation, the league launched the Southland Conference Television Network in the fall of 2008 and has broadcast more than 160 events. The network has expanded its reach to roughly 13 million households throughout Texas, Louisiana, Arkansas and Oklahoma in recent years, and has also gained national viewership through ESPN3 and Fox College Sports. In its first five years, the network has received recognition for its work, earning numerous College Sports Media and Telly Awards. The Southland Conference, in conjunction with the city of Frisco, Texas, and Hunt Sports Group, also serves as the host to the NCAA Division I Football Championship Game in Frisco, which has been home to the conference headquarters since 2006. The game is played at Frisco’s FC Dallas Stadium, and after a successful three-year run, the partnership was rewarded with a three-year renewal to serve as the national championship host site through the 2015 season.

DEMON BASEBALL... A HIT SINCE 1912 Northwestern State has established itself as one of the premier baseball programs in the Southland Conference, in the state of Louisiana, and in America as well. The Demons have been members of the SLC for only 26 years, but in that time they have won 10 conference championships and been to the NCAA Regionals three times. The Demons became only the third school in SLC history to win three straight titles (1993-95). Trinity University accomplished the feat in 1964-66, while Lamar University matched that effort 10 years later. Leading the way for Northwestern is second-year head coach Lane Burroughs. Burroughs is only the 11th coach in Demon baseball history, which is remarkable considering Northwestern has been playing organized baseball for over 85 years. Northwestern dropped intercollegiate baseball in the 1930’s, but reinstated it in 1940 and has since built a strong program. However, it was not until the Demons joined the SLC in 1988 that they truly began to flourish. A Northwestern player has been named to the SLC first team 49 times. The Demons have also boasted the Coach of the Year seven times, Hitter of the Year twice, Pitcher of the year four times, Player of the Year four times, Relief Pitcher of the Year once and Newcomer of the Year seven times. Seven All-Americans have also donned the Demon uniform. The first was Danny Turner who earned the honor in 1967 when the Demons were still NAIA. Darryl Woods was named NCAA and NAIA All-American in 1974 when he belted a Demon record 19 home runs on the season. Demon outfielder Terry Joseph was named to the GTE Academic All-America team in 1993 and earned the honor again in 1995. Pitcher Reggie Gatewood was named to the National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association second team in 1994 after posting an 11-3 record with a 2.14 ERA. Shortstop Ryan Anholt was the fifth All-American in Demon baseball history. The junior from Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan was a third-team selection by the American Baseball Coaches Association in 1998. For the season, he batted .417 with 15 home runs and 71 RBIs. Northwestern has been able to participate in post-season play as well. In 1991 the Demons received an at-large bid to the NCAA South II Regional in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. The Demons lost to eventual National Champion Louisiana State 13-2, before being edged by USL 11-7. Northwestern’s 45-15 record was enough to earn an at-large bid to the NCAA Tournament in 1994. The Demons travelled to Stillwater, Oklahoma, for the Midwest I Regionals. Perennial power Cal State Fullerton would defeat Northwestern 11-3 in Game 1. In Game 2, Northwestern and NSU AllAmerican Reggie Gatewood would overpower Illinois State 8-2 to win its first and only NCAA Regional game. Northwestern would then lose a heartbreaking 14-9 game to Memphis and bow out of the double elimination tournament. Northwestern’s 45 wins in 1994 were the most in school history. In 1996, the Demons beat the National Champion LSU Tigers twice in Alex Box Stadium and won their sixth conference title in the 1990’s in 1998. The Demons also reached the 40-win plateau for the fourth time in the 1990’s in 1998. A 38-21 campaign in 1999, including wins over LSU and UCLA, ended a “decade of excellence”, one which found the Demons as one of the elite teams in the nation. Northwestern’s .658 winning percentage during the decade ranks 23rd among all Division I teams, while its six conference championships is second only to Wichita State. Success continued in 2001 as the Demons won their seventh conference title and defeated instate rival LSU, 10-8, before a record-breaking 4,214 fans watching at Brown-Stroud Field. The 2002 season brought the Demons their eighth conference title after going 43-17 under first-year head coach Mitch Gaspard. The Demons cracked the top-25 for the first time in school history when they were ranked 23rd by Collegiate Baseball in 2002. The Demons blew through the 2005 SLC season, winning a record 22 games while posting the largest margin of separation in league history with their 5-game lead over the second place team. The 2005 team also stayed ranked in the nation’s top 35 for most of the season while earning an at-large bid to the NCAA Baton Rouge Regional where they finished third with a 1-2 record. NSU had another great season in 2010 and fell just short of the third 40-win season in the new century. The Demons finished 36-21 overall, including wins over nationally ranked Southern Mississippi and Texas A&M teams, and 22-10 in Southland Conference play, only one win away from tying for its 10th league title. That team had the career-leader in saves Chad Sheppard, who won Relief Pitcher of the Year, and four first-team all-conference players.

Dr. Randall J. Webb Northwestern State President

Dr. Randall J. Webb stated when he became Northwestern State University’s U N I V E R S I T Y A D M I N I S T R AT I O N 18th president in July of 1996 that his primary objective would be to help make his President: Alma Mater the best institution it could be. In his 18th year, it’s clear that Webb is . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Dr. Randall J. Webb Provost & Vice President for Academic and Student achieving that admirable goal. Affairs: Enrollment has reached record levels during Webb’s tenure as president and . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Dr. Lisa Abney exceeded 10,500 for the first time in history in the fall of 2004. Webb has also been Vice President for External Affairs: at the forefront in recent years of moving the university toward higher admission . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Jerry Pierce standards, which has resulted in some enrollment declines but in the enrollment of Vice President for Business Affairs: . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Carl Jones students with greater academic potential and aptitude. Vice President for University Affairs: Retention has increased at the university, the average ACT score of students has gone up, and high school student . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Marcus Jones leaders are enrolling in Northwestern in record numbers. There has been a substantial increase in the number of high Vice President for Technology, Research and Economic Development: school valedictorians and salutatorians among first-time freshmen at the university. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Dr. Darlene Williams External funding for NSU has also increased dramatically under Webb’s leadership. In the first capital campaign in its history, the university received $32.7 million to far exceed its goal of $18.84 million. That funding included the establishment of numerous endowed chairs and professorships to enhance academic programs at the university. In addition to the private funding, Northwestern has received more grant monies in recent years from state and federal agencies and private foundations than at any time since its founding in 1884. Webb has also expanded the university’s outreach by spearheading the development at NSU of the largest electronic education and distance learning network of any university in Louisiana. NSU offers courses and degree programs to students across the nation and world through Internet and compressed video. Millions of dollars have been obtained during Webb’s presidency for new and renovated facilities. A new $6.9 million Wellness, Recreation and Activity Center opened on the campus in 2005; and Morrison Hall, the Family and Consumer Sciences Building, and Williamson Hall have been completely renovated and restored. A new Student Services Center on the site of the former West Caspari Hall was completed in May 2012. Over $32 million in construction by a private company has added two modified residence halls to the campus in recent years. Funding has also been obtained to rebuild the East Caspari Hall and replace the underground electrical distribution system. Northwestern academic programs and athletic teams continue to receive positive national recognition. The Computer Information Systems program, for example, won five consecutive national championships in academic competition in systems analysis, and the NSU men’s basketball team defeated Iowa in the NCAA national championship tournament. A former center on the Northwestern football team, Webb is an avid supporter of the university’s athletic programs and has held positions of leadership at the national level in intercollegiate athletics. He has served as chair of the board of directors of the Southland Conference and has been a member of the prestigious NCAA Executive Council and the NCAA Division I Board of Directors that oversee all major policy decisions by the governing body for major college sports. He currently serves as the Southland Conference representative on the NCAA Presidential Advisory Group. A 1965 graduate of Northwestern in mathematics and business education, Webb earned a master of science degree in mathematics from NSU in 1966. He received a doctorate in education from the University of Southern Mississippi in 1971 with a concentration in mathematics and research. Webb was a member of the faculty of Longwood College in Farmville, Va, from 1966 until 1974. He served as Director of Higher Education and Teacher Certification in the Louisiana Department of Education from 1974 through 1976. He moved to Southeastern Louisiana University in 1976 and in 13 years there held positions as director of institutional research, EEO officer, registrar and member of the mathematics faculty. He became Dean of Instruction and Graduate Studies and professor of mathematics at Northwestern in 1989. In that position, he was responsible for campus-wide policy development, planning, advancement, and review of both graduate and undergraduate programs. While Webb was in that position, graduate enrollment increased by 35 percent, and internal funding for faculty research increased by 200 percent. As dean, Webb proposed the concept for NSU’s successful Freshman Connection Program and served as a member of the writing team for a grant proposal that resulted in a five year, $1.7 million Title III grant to improve student retention. He also chaired the steering committee for NSU’s Self Study for the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools. He has been active in the community as a member of the board of directors of the Natchitoches Chamber of Commerce and as a member of the Association for the Preservation of Historic Natchitoches, the Natchitoches Historic Foundation, the Natchitoches-Northwestern Symphony Society, Rotary Club, and the First Baptist Church. Webb and his wife Brenda have two daughters, both honor graduates of Northwestern. Tamara and her husband, former NSU All-America baseball pitcher Reggie Gatewood, live in Long Valley,N.J., with their children Tyler and Ava. Lauren is married to former outstanding NSU baseball player Nick Simokaitis, and they live in St. Louis with their sons Nicholas and Benjamin. Randy and Brenda Webb

Jerry Pierce

Vice President • External Affairs Only a handful of people have served Northwestern State as long as Jerry Pierce has, and nobody has done so in a more understated manner. In his 49th year on the university’s staff, Pierce’s impact on NSU and the city of Natchitoches is indelible. He’s never wanted or gotten top billing, but consistently, he gets results to benefit the university. He is in his 23rd year as vice president of external affairs at Northwestern. A significant aspect of his job is oversight of intercollegiate athletics. Pierce works closely with athletic director Greg Burke and all NSU coaches and staff members to keep Northwestern athletics competing at a championship level week after week, month after month and year after year. Pierce is an avid tennis player who has been a member of USTA teams that have won more than a dozen state championships, five regional titles and one national championship. Well before moving into the executive position, Pierce had already served his alma mater, adopted hometown and state with distinction. In his role as vice president, he overNSU Athletic Council sees university operations in athletics, alumni and development, public Jody Biscoe (Chair) and media relations and assists President Dr. Randall J. Webb in governKaymin Carter mental affairs activities. Many of those duties were his since the 1970s as Lyn Christophe he worked under four previous presidents as Northwestern advanced from Catherine Faucheaux NAIA to NCAA College Division to NCAA Division I athletic status in 1977. Cole Gentry A 1961 graduate of Northwestern, Pierce served as trainer/manager Kelee Grimes for the Demon football team during his college years, working closely with Steve Gruesbeck legendary coach Jack Clayton. After earning his journalism degree, Pierce Marcus Jones went to work for the New Orleans Times Picayune, serving as a reporter Natalie Laurence Tara McKenney (Student) and editor. He was named executive sports editor at the age of 24. Dr. Charles Pellegrin In 1965, he chose to raise his two sons in Natchitoches and returned Dr. Pat Pierson to NSU as sports information director. He was promoted to news bureau Steve Story director two years later and assumed additional responsibilities in athletDr. Mark Swanstrom ics, alumni affairs and other areas through the years. Ed Ward He founded, in 1972, the Louisiana Sports Hall of Fame facility in Dr. Randall Webb Prather Coliseum on the NSU campus, providing a home for an entity created in 1958. He established annual induction activities that remain in Ex-Officio Members place nearly four decades later, and served as director of the Hall for 19 Greg Burke years until his promotion to vice president in 1990 forced him to step aside Carrie Crowell Dustin Eubanks from the volunteer post. Roxanne Freeman He helped guide Northwestern into three athletic conferences (Trans Dr. Patrice Moulton America, 1979; Gulf Star, 1983; Southland, 1987) and NCAA Division I staDr. Vicki Parrish tus in 1977. He is a past president of the Southland and has served the Jerry Pierce conference through other offices and committee positions. In 1994, he was named one of Louisiana’s 20 most influential sports figures by the Times-Picayune. Also on the list were New Orleans Saints owner Tom Benson, LSU athletic director Joe Dean and basketball coach Dale Brown, and Grambling football coaching legend Eddie Robinson. His salesmanship and managerial skills were instrumental in convincing Tri-Star Productions to film the 1989 smash hit movie Steel Magnolias, with an all-star cast including Julia Roberts, Sally Field and Dylan McDermott in Natchitoches and on the NSU campus. The movie’s impact on tourism in Natchitoches continues to resonate more than two decades later. Pierce is regarded as one of the most effective legislative liaisons for Louisiana’s higher education system. He is also a popular after dinner speaker and master of ceremonies who has spoken at hundreds of events since 1965. In addition to his administrative responsibilities, Pierce is a member of the Journalism Department faculty. He is the author of one book and editor of two others and has written thousands of editorials, columns, features and other articles for newspapers and magazines. Pierce and his wife Regina, a teacher, live on Cane River Lake in Natchitoches. He has two sons, Randy and Rick, both NSU graduates; and three grandchildren, twins Evan and Amanda, 23, and Miranda, 12, and two stepchildren, Nicholas and Natalie.

Greg Burke

Director of Athletics The Burke File

AGE: 57 (Born Oct. 22, 1956) • HOMETOWN: Alliance, Ohio • HIGH SCHOOL: Marlington ’74 • COLLEGE: Mt. Union ’78 (cum laude) POSTGRADUATE: Kent State ’86 • BEFORE HE WAS A.D.: Sports writer, Alliance (Ohio) Review, 1972-78; director of news and sports information, Hiram (Ohio) College (1978-85); administrative intern, NSU athletics, 1985-86; director, NSU Athletic Association, 1986-92; director of athletic development, University of Akron, 1992-96. BIG FAN OF: Cleveland Browns, Indians and Cavaliers • INTERESTS: Working out, watching ESPN and VH1 Classic, family outings.

In his 18th year as director of athletics at Northwestern State, Greg Burke has received national acclaim for the job he’s done in his adopted hometown. Burke has been athletics director at Northwestern since Aug. 29, 1996, when his first day included speaking at the annual NSU/Independence Bowl Kickoff Luncheon. Burke is the longest serving AD at any Louisiana or Southland Conference institution. He has steered NSU athletics to many of its greatest accomplishments while overseeing a program that has fielded championship caliber teams in nearly all of the school’s NCAA Division I sports. Last February, he was presented the “Outstanding Contributions to Amateur Football Award” by the north Louisiana chapter of the National Football Foundation and College Football Hall of Fame. Two years ago, he was included among 29 winners of the Under Amour AD of the Year Award presented by the National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics (NACDA). Burke was the 2010-11 president of the Football Championship Subdivision Athletics Directors Association. He has begun a term on the NCAA Division I Committee on Academic Performance, Burke previously served on the prestigious NCAA Championships/Sports Management Cabinet. He previously served a four-year term on the NCAA Division I Football Issues Committee (1999-2002) and concurrently served a term on the eight-member NCAA FCS Committee that administers the national playoffs. Burke has served as a site supervisor for Football Championship Subdivision playoff games across the nation and he is regarded as one of the country’s premiere advocates of FCS football. Burke’s 17 years as athletic director include 35 Southland Conference regular-season or tournament championships, 59 All-American and Academic All-American student athletes, and three U.S. Olympic competitors. Twenty NSU teams have taken part in NCAA or WNIT postseason competition. All of the school’s athletic facilities have undergone nearly $7 million in improvements in the past four years. Burke spearheaded a $2 million series of sponsorships for new scoreboards installed for 2008-09 at all NSU athletic venues; the $700,000 Second Century Circle fencing project for athletic venues; and a $500,000 softball grandstand project completed earlier this year. NSU in 2004-05 became the first (and remains the only) Southland Conference member in the league’s five decades of history to sweep football, men’s basketball and baseball championships in the same athletic year. It’s been done only once in Southeastern Conference history, by Alabama in 1933-34, and only four times in Big Ten Conference history, the last time by Michigan State in 1979-80. Those accomplishments have come with one of the more modest athletic budgets in the state and conference. Burke’s management skill and fundraising ability have been pivotal. Burke has displayed a remarkable ability to hire dynamic head coaches, notably current staffers Mike McConathy, Louisiana’s all-time career basketball wins leader; 2013 Louisiana softball coach of the Year Donald Pickett; Hugh and Stephanie Hernesman, who just led the volleyball program to its best season in the 31-year history of the program; and several whose success at Northwestern State propelled them to national prominence in subsequent positions. From his first day on the job, Burke has stressed the importance of having a balanced athletic program. To that end, tremendous competitive strides have been made in women’s athletics under his guidance. Along with the aforementioned volleyball surge, NSU’s soccer program was the first in Louisiana to reach the NCAA Tournament. Softball and tennis made NCAA Tournament appearances in 2013, the second in four seasons for Lady Demon tennis. Burke has established a high standard for NSU Athletics in academic achievement and community service. The academic accomplishments are reflected annually in the NCAA’s APR and GSR studies. Community service by NSU student-athletes, coaches and staff more than doubled to over 5,000 hours in 2009-10 and has remained at that level. Burke spearheaded the adoption of the slogan “Great Tradition, Brighter Future” for NSU Athletics, and the creation of NSU Athletics “Cornerstones” for student-athletes: “Academic Achievement, Personal Responsibility, Competitive Success … Every Minute, Every Hour, Every Day!” In 2005, Burke was one of three recipients of the All-America Football Foundation’s Gen. Robert R. Neyland Outstanding Athletic Director Award and that same year, was also tabbed as one of two Natchitoches Parish Cenla Newsmakers of 2005 by the Alexandria Town Talk newspaper’s editorial staff. He received the 2006 “Outstanding Alumni Award” from his alma mater, Marlington High School in Alliance, Ohio, recognizing his community service and professional achievements. Burke became one of only 21 alumni honored since the award was instituted in 1982. Burke is a past president of the Natchitoches Kiwanis Club and remains active in that civic group. He has also been part of the steering committee for the Natchitoches Christmas Festival and is a former president of the Natchitoches Area Jaycees.
