They cover the Lady Demons: primary media outlets
Sports Information Director In charge of athletic media relations at his alma mater since January of 1989, Doug Ireland coordinates publicity efforts for Northwestern's 14 intercollegiate sports teams through local, regional and national media outlets in print, broadcast, television and the internet. He also serves in the volunteer role of chariman of the Louisiana Sports Hall of Fame, that was once housed in Prather Coliseum at NSU. Ireland assumed that post in April 1991. In 1981-82, while an undergraduate at Northwestern, Ireland worked as chief of the Shreveport Times Natchitoches Bureau, coordinating news coverage of an eight-parish region along the Red River. From 1982-85, he was assistant SID at Southwestern Louisiana, working with a men's basketball program that made three straight postseason tournament appearances. He won CoSIDA publications and writing awards while at USL. Ireland was the sports editor of the Natchitoches Times in 1985-86 and attended graduate school at Northeast Louisiana before joining the Alexandria Town Talk sports staff in 1987. In 18 months at the Town Talk, he covered both NSU and LSU sports and won 15 writing awards from the Louisiana Sports Writers' Association. In 2001, the LSWA presented its prestigious Mac Russo Award to Ireland for his contributions to the organization. In 1999, Ireland was awarded honorary membership in the Graduate N Club at NSU by the university's group of athletic lettermen for his service to Northwestern and its athletic program, and in 2003 he was given full membership. He was appointed by President Dr. Randall Webb to serve a two-year term on the inaugural University Planning Council in 1997-99.
Associate Sports Information Director Matthew Bonnette is beginning his seventh season as a member of the NSU SID staff. Bonnette joined the staff in August 2003 after spending a year as sports information director at Henderson State (Ark.) and for former NSU legendary coach Sam Goodwin. Bonnette surpervises all layouts and design work for all media guides and game programs and is the primary media contact for the NSU baseball, women’s basketball and volleyball teams. A 2002 graduate of McNeese State University, Bonnette is no stranger to the SID field as he is the son of longtime McNeese SID Louis Bonnette, who was inducted into the CoSIDA Hall of Fame and is also a member of the Southland Conference Hall of Honor, Louisiana Sports Hall of Fame and the McNeese State Athletic Hall of Fame. Matthew's older brother, Michael, is the sports information director at LSU. While at McNeese, Bonnette served two years as the sports editor of the school’s newspaper. He also worked as both a volunteer and student sports information director while being employed at KPLC-TV as the commercial production manager where he won several advertising awards for his work. He is a member of CoSIDA, Louisiana Sports Writers Association, NCBWA and USBWA. His 2008 football (3rd place) and 2009 soccer (3rd place) media guides, as well as his women’s basketball notes (2nd place) for the Southland Conference tournament, were recently awarded by the Louisiana Sports Writers Association. He has won six awards by the LSWA in his career. He is married to the former Colene Lanier of Lake Charles and the couple has two daughters, 9-year-old Haley and 6-year-old Katelyn, both of whom are students at the NSU Elementary Lab School. Colene is the Northwestern State men’s basketball and women’s soccer administrative assistant.

2010 Season Preview fall. He is healthy now and figures to factor in this spring. He has very good hands and a strong throwing arm. At the plate, he has the ability to drive the ball. Adam Roy - Adam is a solid defender with an
accurate throwing arm. He can play either corner position - third or first base. More than anything, Adam provides a strong presence in the middle of the lineup. He is big and strong and has the ability to split a gap or leave the yard. Will Watson - Will is a very talented, young
player. He had a very good fall in every aspect and figures to be our starting first baseman on opening day. Defensively, he's got very good hands and feet, and an accurate throwing arm. At the plate, he has a flat stroke and has the ability to drive the ball. Above all, Will has a tremendous work ethic. Stephen Gandy - Stephen came to us late
Chase Lyles INFIELD Chase Lyles - Chase showed last year that
he is one of the top offensive guys in the SLC. He put up tremendous numbers last season and we look forward to him to continue to do that again this season. He has been around our program for a long time and we look for him to give us tremendous leadership in his final season. Trent Grondin - Trent had a solid season
last year in his first season in the league for us. We really look for him to be a huge factor in our success this season. He has really matured as a player. The key for Trent is to come ready to play every day‌ not taking a day off. If he does this, he'll make our team a lot better. Dan Meyer - Dan had a good year for us last year, playing at three different infield positions. Unfortunately, Dan was involved in a serious auto accident in August and suffered severe injuries. He was out for four months and began his rehabbing in December. He will most likely redshirt this spring. He is a tough kid who has really worked hard in his rehab to get back. We will definitely miss him this season if not ready. Justin Martinez - J-Mar has definitely
emerged as a potential starter on the infield for us, most likely at second base. He has good hands and range, and a very strong throwing arm. Offensively, he has the ability to do a lot of things for us. He's a good runner and has the ability to drive the ball. Chris Hebert - Chris came to us very late in
the recruiting process, almost right before school started, and has been a very pleasant surprise. He has an excellent work ethic and is very steady day to day. He'll provide us with very good depth and will compete for a starting job in the infield, primarily at second base. Josh Gardiner - Josh used a redshirt last season and was hampered by injuries this past Great Tradition • Brighter Future
in the recruiting process after putting up tremendous numbers at Sterlington High School. He'll provide us with depth at the first base position. He has really worked hard to improve his defensive skills. Offensively, he can turn a fastball around and has really good power. CATCHER Miles Parsons - Miles had a very good fall
after splitting time behind the plate for us last year. He has really worked hard to improve his defensive skills. Nobody takes as much pride in his game than Miles. Unfortunately, he suffered a severe hip injury early on in the spring that may require surgery. Hopefully he'll be back as he brings so much to the table. Aaron Munoz - Aaron is a highly skilled
defensive catcher, as good as it gets. He has soft hands and a very strong, accurate throwing arm. Offensively, he handles the bat really well.
OUTFIELD Eric DeBlanc - Eric really came on strong for
us late last spring. He went out and had a really good summer as well and he continued to improve in the fall season. He is a good athlete in every aspect. He runs well, has good bat speed, and plays good defense. We'll look for him to be much more consistent this spring and to provide us with offensive run production. Tyler Baisley - Tyler has the tools to be one
of the better offensive forces in the league. He is definitely a big presence when he steps in the box. He has very good power to all areas of the field. Defensively, he does a good job of running balls down and has a strong and accurate throwing arm. Oscar Garcia - Oscar is an extremely talented player who put up huge numbers at El Paso Community College last year. He plays a very easy center field. Offensively, Oscar can be a game changer at the plate. He has good power and hits the ball to all areas of the field. Colin Bear - Colin really started to emerge for us this fall after a decent freshman season last year. He has really worked hard to refine his stroke and is driving the ball much more than last year. We're looking for him to have a strong left-handed hitting presence in the middle of the order. Matt Yerby - Matt had a very good fall and
has a short swing and does a really good job of hitting the ball to the opposite field. He is a tough guy who grinds it out. Jacob Williford - Jacob had a good summer
out in the Rocky Mountain Collegiate League and has continued to improve this past fall and the early spring. He is a good runner and contact hitter that can be a table setter. He will provide us quality depth in the outfield.
Matt Farmer - Matt has been a very pleas-
ant surprise for us so far. He definitely looks to be a factor for us offensively. He has a nice swing that produces a lot of line drives. Defensively, Matt has really worked hard to improve his skills. He should give us good depth at the position. Carson Martinez - Carson made the transition over from football this past fall after having played quarterback the last two years. He played in the infield in the fall but made a switch to catcher early this spring. He has shown good hands and good blocking skills behind the plate. His throwing will continue to improve with time. Offensively, Carson has the ability to be a good hitter. He's a good athlete that we are looking for and hope to get big things out of him in the future. Colby Arceneaux - Colby is another guy
that has come over to us from football. He has played some infield but will primarily work behind the plate for us. He is a hard worker that will provide us with depth at the position.

2010 Season Preview come out of the bullpen for us. Brett Fredieu - Brett is another guy that has
really continued to progress and mature for us. He finished strong in the fall, especially during the fall world series. He has the ability to dominate. We expect him to throw a lot of innings this spring as a starter and a reliever. Andrew Plotkin - Andrew is a guy who we think can be a big contributer this spring. He came on for us late last spring and thew some key innings for us out of the pen. He has continued to progress this fall, making adjustments to his game. He throws three quality pitches for strikes. He’ll give us quality innings out of the bullpen and even spot start if needed. Chad Sheppard - Chad had a tremendous freshman year last season and followed that up with a very good summer in the Cape Cod League. We look for Chad to continue that dominance out of the pen again this year. He’s got big-time finisher stuff.
Chad Sheppard Lance Lacoste - Lance did a nice job for us in the latter half of the season last year. He is very strong and should be a strong presence for us in the middle of the order again this season. Spencer Harrell - Spence is another guy
that has come over from football this spring. He is a good athlete that runs well and can go get the ball in the outfield and will provide us with depth. PITCHING Ryan Zimmerman - Zimm threw in just
about every role last year (setup, closer, midweek starter) before finally emerging as our Friday night starter the last three weeks of the season. He is a strong competitor with very good stuff. He pitches deep into games and gives us a chance to win every time out.
Michael Ocampo - Michael has really
worked hard to come back from shoulder surgery in 2008. He is a hardworker that has a very good feel for pitching. He should definitely give us quality innings in middle relief this year. Mathias Simmons - Mathia comes to us
from a very good junior college program in Neosho CC in Kansas. He is big and throws downhill with good velocity. He also has a quality secondary pitch. We need Mathias to come in and bridge the gap and shorten the game. The key for him is trusting his ability. If he does that, he will have a lot of success. Jacob Williford - Jacob is a guy that I real-
ly feel like can factor in on the mound for us this spring. He has the ability to be a quality lefthanded arm in this league. He has shown good velocity and at times, plus secondary
Luke Irvine - Luke is a junior college trans-
fer that we think will have an immediate impact on our pitching staff. Like Zimm, he really likes to compete. He is big, strong, and comes right at you. He has really worked hard this past fall refining his delivery and secondary pitches.
Dustin Northcott - Dustin signed with us in
the summer of 2008. He pitched for Team Canada that same summer and developed some arm trouble. He ended up having Tommy John last spring. His rehab has gone extremely well, which is a testament to his work ethic. We are really excited to have him back with us. He is healthy and throwing with very good velocity. He is another guy that is big, strong and likes to compete. He will definitely be a force for us out of the bullpen. Andrew Adams - Andres signed with us late
in the recruiting process last summer. He really came into his own last year as a senior in high school. From day one in the fall, he showed that he can pitch at the Division I level. He has a good fastball and an outstanding breaking ball. ceiling as a pitcher. He is tall, lean, very projectable, and has very good arm strength. He was hampered by a back injury in the fall, which really limited his progress. He has the ability and potential to be as dominant of a lefthanded pitcher as there has been here at NSU. He has good command of his fastball on both sides of the plate. The key for him is the continued development of his secondary pitches.
Heath's importance to this pitching staff and this team. His absence due to injury really showed last season. He's back now and might be as good as he's ever been. He worked really hard to get back to his previous level. The velocity and life are back on his fastball to go along with his plus secondary stuff.
Toby Remedies - Toby came to us last
spring after having transferred from LSUShreveport. He is a strike thrower that will throw three pitches in the zone. He has the ability to throw for us out of the bullpen. If he will trust his stuff, he could definitely give us some quality innings.
Trevor Geist - Trevor’s progression as a
12
stuff. If he will trust that stuff, go out and compete, and command his fastball, he will have a lot of success.
Mason Melotakis - Mason has a very high
Heath Hennigan - I can't say enough about
pitcher has really improved this fall and early spring. He’s throwing downhill with command of his fastball and throwing his secondary pitches for strikes as well. He is another guy who likes to compete - he wants the ball. He started for us last year down the stretch on weekends. He’ll start out as a midweek starter or

Jon Paul Davis #31 HEAD COACH
3rd Season as Head Coach 10th season on the NSU staff CAREER RECORD 54-54 • 3rd Season
RECORD AT NSU 54-54 • 3rd Season
302-209 Overall Record • 137-84 SLC Record • 3 SLC Titles • 3 SLC ERA Titles • Averaging 35 wins per year • 19 All-SLC Pitchers • 3 Freshman All-American pitchers • 10 Players drafted (6 pitchers) • 2001 SLC Pitcher of the Year • 2004 Academic All-American • 2005 SLC Player of the Year Entering his third season as the skipper of the Northwestern State Demons, Jon Paul Davis is determined to get the baseball program back to an elite status in the Southland Conference - a position where he helped sustain the team during his seven years as pitching coach prior to taking over in 2008. Davis, who will continue to oversee the pitching coach duties, helped NSU win three conference championships while coaching 19 All-SLC pitchers and developing 10 Major League Draft picks since 2001. In his first year at the helm, he guided the Demons to their best conference record (17-12) since the 2005 team finished 22-5. His team also held the top spot in the East Division standings for much of the season before finishing second. He succeeded Mitch Gaspard, head coach from 2002-07, who resigned in July of 2007 to become the No. 1 assistant to former NSU head coach Jim Wells at the University of Alabama. Davis stepped into a charmed spot in college baseball. His immediate predecessors in the Demons' dugout have carved prominent identities in the game. Wells coached the Demons from 1990-94 before taking the Alabama job and was succeeded by Dave Van Horn, who headed NSU's program from 1995-97 before going to Nebraska and then to his alma mater, Arkansas. John Cohen took over in 1998 and departed four seasons later, and is the head coach at Kentucky. Wells, Van Horn and Cohen all have won national coach 14
of the year honors in their current positions after each led the Demons to at least two Southland Conference titles. Gaspard, who turned down at least two head coaching offers elsewhere during his six seasons with the Demons, guided NSU to SLC titles in 2002 and 2005 and was strongly considered for head coaching posts at Oklahoma and Auburn while at NSU.

Demon Coaching Staff Since Wells arrived and revitalized Northwestern's program, the Demons have won nine of the last 17 SLC championships with 654 wins, a .602 winning percentage, and six 40-win seasons since 1990, best by any conference team. Davis, 38, was hired by Cohen prior to the 2001 season in which Northwestern won the SLC title with a 38-17 mark. Gaspard retained him after Cohen's departure following the 2001 season, and the Demons immediately won another SLC title. The third Southland crown won in his tenure came in 2005, when NSU set a league marks with 22 wins and an .815 winning percentage in league play (22-5) and a record six-game margin in the league standings. “There is no doubt in my mind that J.P. has the baseball knowledge and background to be the next successful head baseball coach at Northwestern State, said Director of Athletics Greg Burke of his hiring. “He truly has played a major role in the high level of success achieved by NSU baseball over the past seven years. In addition, he knows the Demon baseball program, as well as our university and community, very well and will certainly utilize that knowledge to his advantage. “I was impressed with J.P.'s perspective regarding NSU's baseball program, both in terms of what has happened in the past and in terms of the vision he has for the future. He will work with great passion, an intangible which is always a positive. In fact, I have met very few individuals who were as eager to 'hit the ground running' as a new head coach than J.P. “The transition from assistant coach to head coach, as always, will be an adjustment but in J.P.'s case, his familiarity with NSU will lessen that Great Tradition • Brighter Future
adjustment.” Gaspard, who teamed with Davis to produce a Top 40ranked recruiting class at Northwestern in 2006, said the new head coach earned the opportunity. “During our six years together, J.P. has definitely been one of the more respected assistants in the Southland Conference as both a pitching coach and as a recruiter. We worked hand-in-hand through the championships and other successful moments enjoyed by the NSU baseball program,” said Gaspard. Three times, in 2002 (No. 23), 2003 (35th) and 2005 (No. 30), Northwestern has earned rankings in national collegiate polls with Davis handling the pitching staff. The Demons ranked 17th nationally in earned run average (3.85) and led the SLC in his first season, 2001, and a year later ranked 12th nationally and tops in the league with a 3.54 ERA. NSU also led the SLC in ERA in 2005 (3.99). Ten school pitching marks have fallen under Davis' tutelage while NSU compiled a 276-183 (.601) overall record, including a 137-84 (.620) mark in the Southland. He recruited 20 All-SLC players, including 10 pitchers - notably 2002

Jeff McCannon #24 HITTING COACH • RECRUITING COORDINATOR 6th Season at NSU • Arizona ‘97
18 All-Conference players 4 Players drafted 2005 SLC Player of the Year
“Mac and I have spent a lot of time on the road together and I feel that he has developed a good understanding of the type of player it takes to be successful at NSU. He’s got a good eye for talent.” - Jon Paul Davis
Jeff McCannon is entering his sixth season with the Demons serving as the team’s recruiting coordinator as well as the hitting and catching coach. During his five seasons at NSU, McCannon, 35, has seen the Demons set new team records for most at-bats in a game (54 vs. Texas State in 2006) and in a season (2,042 in 2006). His five teams have combined to compile a .280 batting average with 158 runs batted in. His teams have also hit a combined 375 doubles and 54 triples. He also watched two individual records fall in 2005 (Miles Durham with 244 at bats and Michael Palermo with 51 walks) and led the offense to break nine individual career records. Last season, the Demon offense averaged seven runs a game while hitting .309 as a team. The team also belted 53 home run which was just short of tying the school record of 58. The Demons also finished 61st nationally in stolen bases with 79. “He’s done an outstanding job of running the offense, and as the recruiting coordinator, ” said Demon head coach J.P. Davis. “He has been vital to the continued success for the baseball program here at NSU. Since he’s been here, he’s done an exceptional job of connecting with the players. And that in turn shows on the field.” Since his arrival at NSU, he’s helped coach 18 players to All-SLC honors; seen four players get drafted (Blake Jones and Daniel Lonsberry in 2005; Miles Durham in 2006, and Brandon Richey in 2007); and one, Jones, earned the 2005 league Player of the Year award. A coach with 11 years of college coaching experience, McCannon served two seasons as the Nicholls State hitting coach before joining the Demon staff. Prior to Nicholls, he spent a year at Kansas State as a volunteer assistant, helping the Wildcats to a fourth place finish in the Big 12 Conference, and, in 2000, helped lead his alma mater, Arizona, to a 33-23 record and a fifth place finish in the rugged Pacific10 with a 12-12 conference mark. Prior to his time at Arizona, McCannon spent two years as an assistant coach at Butler County Community College in 1999 and 2000. Before going to Butler County in 1999, McCannon coached the hitters and catchers for one year at Division II power Fort Hays State where he helped the Tigers to the 1998 Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference title and an overall record of 44-14. A native of Wichita, Kan., McCannon earned his bachelor’s degree in exercise sports science with a minor in physical education from Arizona in 1997. Great Tradition • Brighter Future

4-year letterman for NSU baseball (2002-05) Member of the 2005 SLC championship team • NCAA Regionals 3 NCAA Regionals as a coach
I am very excited to have Phil Miller back in a Demon uniform. He was a tough, hard-nosed player here for us from 2002-2005, being a part of two Championship Teams. He was a big part of three consecutive SLC conference tourney championships and three regional berths at Sam Houston State over the last three years. Phil knows how the game is suppossed to be played and he does a very good job of relating that to the players. From day one in the fall, he has had an immediate impact on our players. Phil has definitely made us better. - Jon Paul Davis
Philip Miller returns to his alma mater, serving as the Demons’ infield and defensive coach. Prior to rejoining the Demon family, Miller spent three seasons as an assistant coach at Southland Conference rival Sam Houston State where he helped lead the Bearkats to three straight SLC tournament championships.

Miller, who holds a bachelor's degree in business administration from Northwestern State, played four years for the Demons, appearing in 65 games and earning 20 starts. Miller hit .240 in his career. He was a member of the 2005 Demon squad that cruised to the SLC championship with a then-record 22 conference wins. That was also the season NSU earned an at-large bid to the Baton Rouge Regional of the NCAA Tournement. He hit .359 that season in 22 games with 10 starts. He had three multi-hit games that season with two multi-RBI contests. A native of Clinton, La., Miller (24) graduated from University High School where he lettered in baseball, cross country and basketball.

University Administration Dr. Randall J. Webb Northwestern State President Dr. Randall J. Webb never misses a chance to tell people about the good things happening at Northwestern State University. And Webb has been responsible to many of those accomplishments. Webb became NSU's 17th president in July 1996 and is the secondlongest serving president in the university's 125-year history. During Webb's tenure, enrollment exceeded 10,000 students for the first time, peaking at 10,505 students in the fall of 2004. The university also set records for total graduates in an academic year. With the implementation of selective admissions in the fall of 2005, the academic preparation of freshmen students has increased considerably. Overall enrollment initially decreased after the implementation of selective admissions, but has begun to increase again. Northwestern has improved its academic programs while attracting better-prepared students. The average ACT score of students has risen under Webb's tenure, and student leaders are choosing NSU in large numbers. The university has dramatically increased the number of high school valedictorians and salutatorians among first-time freshmen. While Webb has been president, Northwestern has increased the level of active external grant and contract funding from federal, state and private sources to approximately $20,000,000 annually. The university raised more than $34 million from alumni, friends, supporters, and private industry in its first-ever capital campaign, which exceeded its $18.84 million goal by more than $15 million. A new capital campaign, in honor of Northwestern's 125th anniversary, is now underway. The university has received donations or pledges for its first three $1 million endowed chairs. Northwestern also has 34 endowed professorships worth $100,000 each. NSU has also moved boldly to deliver instruction to students wherever they are. Under Webb, the university has become a state and regional leader in bringing classes to students by compressed video and the Internet. The university offers over twenty degree programs via the Internet and is looking to add more programs in the future. More than half of the students at Northwestern take an electronic class. Under Webb, the university has modernized and improved its facilities. A $6.9 million Wellness, Recreation, and Activity Center was completed in the center of the campus on the site of the old Intramural Building. Projects to renovate Morrison Hall, the Family and Consumer Sciences Building and Williamson Hall were also completed. West Caspari Hall was demolished and funding has been received to reconstruct West Caspari as a three-story, one-stop center for student services. Plans call for renovating East Caspari Hall in the future. Northwestern has also built University Place Phases I and II, providing on-campus students with modern residence facilities that best meet their needs. Additional projects include replacement of the entire underground electrical distribution system and the steam distribution system and the improvement of drainage and replacement of the turf at Turpin Stadium. A one-time walk-on center for the Northwestern football team as an undergraduate, Webb has been one of the most avid supporters of the university's athletic programs. Since returning to the Northwestern campus in 1989, Webb has been active as a donor and volunteer. In 1994, he oversaw a successful Northwestern Athletic Association board of directors and served on the NSU Athletic Council. In 1995-1996, Webb was in charge of the Athletic Integrity Subcommittee for the university's NCAA Certification Self-Study. He served on the NCAA Division I Board of Directors and the prestigious and powerful NCAA Executive Council, which oversees all major policy decisions by the governing body for major college sports. The Board of Directors enacted major academic reforms during his tenure. A 1965 graduate of Northwestern in mathematics and business education, Webb earned a master of science 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 at Longwood College in Farmville, Great Tradition • Brighter Future
Va., from 1966 until 1974. From 1974 until 1976, he was the director of Higher Education and Teacher Certification in the Louisiana Department of Education. In 1976, Webb moved to Southeastern Louisiana University where he served as director of institutional research and EEO officer from 1976 until 1983 and as registrar and a part-time faculty member in mathematics from 1983 until 1989.

He also 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. The University has been the beneficiary of additional Title III grants in the ensuing years. Webb chaired the Steering Committee for Northwestern's Self-Study for the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools. Webb led the effort to locate both Boys and Girls State on the Natchitoches campus of Northwestern. These activities have benefited the University and the community and have generated increased interest in Northwestern among the student leaders who participate. He has also been active in the community as a member of the board of directors of the Natchitoches Chamber of Commerce. Webb was a member of the Association for the Preservation of Historic Natchitoches, the Natchitoches Historic Foundation, and the NatchitochesNorthwestern Symphony Society. Webb and his wife Brenda have two daughters, both honor graduates of Northwestern. Tamara and her husband, former Demon All-American pitcher Reggie Gatewood, are the parents of two children: Tyler and Ava. Lauren is married to former Demon baseball player Nick Simokatis, and they have two sons: Nicholas and Benjamin.

University Administration DEMONS’ DECADE OF EXCELLENCE
Jerry Pierce Vice President/External Affairs Jerry Pierce is the Cal Ripken of the Northwestern State athletic program. Day after day, year after year, Pierce is in the lineup, fielding his position with aplomb, and delivering at the plate, knocking a ball out of the park from time to time but always taking an understated profile, seeing himself as a role player. Beginning his 45th year on the university's staff, Pierce's impact on NSU and the city of Natchitoches can't be measured as easily as Ripkin's Baseball Hall of Fame statistics, but they are equally indelible. He begins his 20th 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. NSU Athletic Council Pierce is an avid tennis player who has been a member John Ackel of USTA teams that have won more than a dozen state chamJody Biscoe (chair) pionships, five regional titles and one national championship. Don Barker Well before moving into the executive position, Pierce Dusty Dischler (student) had already served his alma mater, adopted hometown and Kelee Grimes (student) state with distinction. In his role as vice president, he overDr. Michael Land sees university operations in athletics, alumni and developMark Lipa ment, public and media relations and assists President Dr. Dr. Jeff Matthews Randall J.

Many of Dr. Lisa Pollacia Kristi Simms those duties were his since the 1970s as he worked under Cathy Sutton four previous presidents as Northwestern advanced from Dr. Sonia Tinsley NAIA to NCAA College Division to NCAA Division I athletic Krist Swinburghe status in 1977. Jennifer Videtto A 1961 graduate of Northwestern, Pierce served as trainer Ex-Officio Me m b e r s for the Demon football team during his college years, working closely with legendary coach Jack Clayton. After earning his Greg Burke journalism degree, Pierce went to work for the New Orleans Donnie Cox Times Picayune, serving as a reporter and editor. He was Dustin Eubanks Jodie Heinicka named executive sports editor at the age of 24. Dr. Patrice Moulton In 1965, he chose to raise his two sons in Natchitoches and Dr. Vicki Parrish returned to NSU as sports information director. He was proJerry Pierce moted to news bureau director two years later and assumed additional responsibilities in athletics, alumni affairs and other areas through the years. He founded, in 1972, the Louisiana Sports Hall of Fame facility in Prather Coliseum on the NSU campus, providing a home for an entity created in 1958. He established annual induction activities that remain in place nearly four decades later, and served as director of the Hall for 19 years until his promotion to vice president forced him to step aside from the volunteer post. He helped guide Northwestern into three athletic conferences (Trans America, 1979; Gulf Star, 1983; Southland, 1987) and NCAA Division I status in 1977. He is a past president of the Southland and has served the 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 a decade 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, 20, and Miranda, 9, and two stepchildren, Nicholas and Natalie. 36

In his 10 years, the Demons have reached the conference tournament championship game six times, winning twice to make the school's first two NCAA Tournament appearances. Most memorable was the stunning last second win over Big Ten champion Iowa in the first round of the 2006 tournament. That same year, Burke also broke new ground by generating private backing for the first long-term guaranteed coaching contract in school history for McConathy. Women's soccer coach Jimmy Mitchell has taken three teams to the NCAA playoffs, making NSU the only Louisiana university to have multiple appearances. Dramatic facility enhancements have occurred in his eight seasons and Mitchell has been rewarded with a multi-year contract. Burke also picked head coaches who have subsequently been hired by Florida, Missouri, Kentucky, Mississippi State and Wichita State. He recently landed LSU co-defensive coordinator Bradley Dale Peveto to be the Demons' new football coach. Peveto and his staff promptly signed a 2009 recruiting class ranked No. 1 nationally in the Football Championship Subdivision by Rivals.com recruiting analysts. 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. The NSU soccer program was the first one in Louisiana ever to reach the NCAA Tournament. Softball has made three NCAA Tournament appearances. Volleyball has set attendance records and made its best-ever showings in conference play in each of the past four years. While on-field success by Demon and Lady Demon teams has been a source of pride for NSU supporters, Burke is equally proud of the tone which has been set within the NSU athletic program as it relates to academic sucGreg Burke with wife Susu and daughter Catherine.

Dr. William Broussard Executive Director - NSU Athletic Association Associate AD for External Relations One of the most accomplished student-athletes ever at Northwestern State, two-time football All-America center William Broussard returned to his alma mater in February 2007 as the Director of External Relations, coordinating fundraising activities through the Athletic Association and Demon Victory Fund. Known for his avid and tireless promotion of NSU Athletics, Broussard has represented the department as Director of External Relations and planned or helped organize hundreds of events to promote Demon Athletics. After re-branding the annual fund campaign the Demon Victory Fund (DVF) in 2007, the DVF enjoyed its most successful year up to that point. The 2008-09 DVF, with the assistance of a newly re-organized Board of Directors, once again broke the annual record for total revenues, number of Athletic Association members, and Select 100 Members on the way to establishing a new benchmark for annual, unrestricted support of the NSU Athletic Department. Under Broussard’s guidance, the NSU Athletic Association has set three consecutive annual total attainment records, secured the largest scholarship endowment and largest planned gift in the history of NSU Athletics. In the 2007-08 year, the NSU Athletic Association established or tied several annual records under Broussard’s guidance, including annual records for total operating revenues, gift-in-kind donations, number of commitments to the Endowed Scholarship Program (8), and an annual record for corporate sales and corporate licensing revenues generated by Athletic Association colleague Ryan Holloway. The 2008-09 was a tremendous success as well, with the Endowed Scholarship Fund adding 6 commitments, the Second Century Campaign crossing the $100K plateau of private support, and the NSU Athletic Association Board of Directors generating over $186K of funding for NSU Athletics. Broussard represents Northwestern State as the Southland Conference representative of the National Association of Athletic Directors of Development (NAADD) and is also an Assistant Professor of Journalism and Public Relations at NSU. He is the author of several essays on the culture of college athletics and writes a bi-weekly sports editorial for local news magazine The Real Views.

A native of Crowley, he is married to the former Kendra Peters, a Lady Demon volleyball player during the couple’s days at Northwestern.

He also was an account consultant for Next Step Consulting in his hometown of Boise, Idaho, and was a marketing intern for the 2007 Cascade Collegiate Conference Outdoor Track and Field Championships hosted by EOU in LaGrande. An Eagle Scout, Cook is a recipient of the Boy Scouts of America National Heroism Award for Lifesaving. He was a football, basketball and track letterman at Centennial High School in Boise.

A native of Arlington, Texas, Crowell was born March 20, 1986.
In her second year on the NSU athletic staff, Lauren Castle has been a big hit with her upbeat attitude, seemingly endless work ethic, and willingness to touch all the bases to make every facility and every event the best it can be. It's the same approach she used as a three-time All-America softball star at LSU from 2004-06. Under legendary coach Yvette Girouard, Castle compiled a long list of accolades, including being on the 2006 USA Softball Collegiate Player of the Year Watch List as she served as the Lady Tigers' team captain. She graduated from LSU in May 2007. She has worked in administrative roles with two insurance firms while also working at a drilling company near her hometown of Lafayette. Castle's winning personality and her strong organizational and time management skills have been showcased in her new position, along with her ability to adapt to the constant challenges in managing athletic facilities for a wide range of events. She has assumed the title of assistant director of game operations for NSU athletics, using her ability to interact effectively with visiting coaches, game officials, fans, and NSU staff and coaches to great benefit to enhance the home game experience at Northwestern State. Last April, Castle, an outfielder and designated player at LSU, was named to the 12woman All-Lady Tiger Park Team as LSU celebrated its final season playing in that facility.

Demon Baseball History 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 17 years, but in that time they have won nine conference championships and been to the NCAA Regionals twice. 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 third-year head coach Jon Paul Davis. Davis is only the 10th coach in Demon baseball history, which is remarkable considering Northwestern has been playing organized baseball for over 90 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 36 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 and Newcomer of the Year seven times. Five 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 All-American 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 in-state 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.

Brown-Stroud Field
An aerial look at Brown-Stroud Field BUILT IN 1939... Brown-Stroud Field has been home to nine Southland Conference titles since 1991. Named after the first two baseball head coaches in school history - C.C. Stroud (1912-1930) and H. Alvin Brown (1949-1966). The ballpark has undergone significant changes in the past couple of years with the addition of chairback seating, extended bleachers, an awning covering to protect the new seating, expanded dugouts, new landscaping, new field turf to the infield, and new for this season, a state-of-the-art sound system. Year in and year out, the Demons have faced some of the top teams in college baseball including College World Series teams LSU, Alabama, Louisiana-Lafayette, Nebraska and Missouri State. Other top notch opponents stepping foot in Brown-Stroud Field have been Arkansas, Baylor, TCU, Missouri, Houston, Kansas State, Oral Roberts and Iowa State just to name a few.
In 2008, fans were greeted with a new entrance to Brown-Stroud field. This year, a new scoreboard will delight fans.
