Head coach Brooks Williams had a vision of what she wanted to accomplish when she was named head coach of the Cowgirls last season. In her first s e a s o n , Williams b r o u g h t excitement a n d enthusiasm back to the C o w g i r l program that has carried into this season. The Cowgirls finished in a tie for second place in the East Division after being picked to finish in sixth place. The Cowgirls picked up some upset victories along the way including a 81-74 road victory over Lamar, who was undefeated in SLC play at the time. McNeese also defeated longtime powerhouse Stephen F. Austin 68-60 in front of a Cowgirl record crowd of 871. The Cowgirls rallied late in the season to win four of their last games including a victory over the eventual Southland Conference tournament champions, Texas-San Antonio. “I’m proud of what we accomplished in the latter part of last season. Our girls bought into our vision and started believing and becoming more confident in our team and that definitely showed in their play,” said Williams. Four letterwinners return from last season and redshirt senior Jessica Hooker anxiously returns to the court after sitting out last season due to an injury. Senior guard Conceita Cutrer returns to the starting lineup after averaging 6.4 ppg. and 1.4 apg. Cutrer ranked second on the team with 1.2 steals and third with 4.3 rebounds. “Chad was a spark plug for us and continues to be a spirited and energetic leader on and off the floor.” Cutrer will be moved to the wing this season that will allow her more freedom in her play and more of a rebounding threat. Senior guard Shante’ Perry returns for her final season after averaging 11.4 points and 3.7 rebounds last season. The honorable mention all-SLC pick averaged 15.4 points and 4.6 rebounds in league games only. She also led the team and ranked eighth in the conference with a 78.4 free throw percent. “Perry made big strides during the course of the season and continues to look strong in workouts.

Hooker has worked hard in the off-season preparing to make here senior season a memorable year. “We are thrilled to have Jessica back. She is a tough kid. She has fought through a major injury to come back and play for us. The thing we all love about Jessica is her consistent effort. She will be a big leader for us this year.” Other letterwinners returning are sophomores Ne’Aisha Anderson and Kiara Johnson. Anderson played in 12 games last season and averaged 8.6 points and 2.3 rebounds and scored an individual high 17 points at New Orleans. Johnson averaged 3.0 points and 1.2 rebounds and tied for second on the team with nine blocks. The vision seems even more obtainable with an outstanding recruiting class.

The newcomers include what Southwest Louisiana calls “The Dynamic Duo” in reference to Iota High’s Baggett twins, Ashlyn and Caitlyn.

State Dog: Catahoula Leopard The state is also a major producer of soybeans and corn. The State Tree: Bald Cypress State Flower: Magnolia biggest land-based industry in the state is forestry, with an economic impact from paper-making and wood products greater than all other crops combined. Poultry is the largest livestock industry, followed by dairy and beef cattle. Louisiana is also the nation's largest producer of alligator hides and crawfish. Louisiana's approximately 3,650 manufacturing units employ some 190,000 wage and salary workers whose annual earnings are $1.9 billion. The state annually produces nearly five billion dollars worth of products, including petroleum, chemicals, plastics, clothing, wood products, industrial alcohol, wallboard, cement, seafood, glass, drugs and many more. Louisiana has a semi-tropical climate. Variations in daily temperature are determined by distances from the Gulf of Mexico and, to a lesser degree, by differences in elevation. The average annual temperature for the state as a whole is 67.4. January is the coldest month (average 50.7), and July and August the warmest (average 82). Snow is rare in southern Louisiana, but occasionally falls are recorded in the northern parts of the state. Average annual rainfall is 55.45 inches.

LAKE CHARLES
The first people to settle the lake were Mr. and Mrs. LeBleu of Bordeaux, France. They arrived in 1781 and secured their home six miles east of the present site of Lake Charles, living in peaceful coexistence with several tribes of Indians. This area originally settled by the LeBleu's is now known as LeBleu Settlement. Other pioneers quickly ventured to Lake Charles. Among them was Charles Sallier who married LeBleu's daughter, Catherine. The Sallier's built their home on the lake, in the area now known as Lake Charles. After Charles Sallier built his home in this area, the lake became known as Charlie's Lake. By 1860 this area was being called "Charleston" or "Charles Town." Settlers at the turn of the century acquired property from the Indians or they homesteaded the Rio Hondo lands. The Rio Hondo which flowed through Lake Charles was later called Quelqueshue, an Indian term meaning "Crying Eagle" and still later Calcasieu. Little is known of these early residents except that they were a mixture of English, French, Spanish and Dutch. On March 7, 1861, Lake Charles was incorporated as the town of Charleston, Louisiana. The growth of the city was fairly slow until Captain Daniel Goos came in 1855. He established a lumber mill and schooner dock, now Goosport, and promoted a profitable trade with Texas and Mexican ports by sending his schooner down-river into the Gulf of Mexico. Most of the wood which built the city came from Goos' mill. Until the arrival of Goos, Jacob Ryan dominated the lumber industry. Ryan convinced the state government to move the parish seat to Lake www.mcneesesports.com
Charles. Later that year, Ryan and Samuel Kirby transferred the parish courthouse and jail to Lake Charles, at that time called Charleston. Six years after the city was incorporated, dissatisfaction over the name Charleston arose. On March 16, 1867, Charleston, Louisiana, was incorporated into the town of Lake Charles.
Quick Facts
The City of Lake Charles is conveniently located on Interstate-10 between Houston, TX and New Orleans, LA. Our sandy beaches are nestled on the Calcasieu River just 30 miles upstream from the Gulf of Mexico. Lake Charles is connected to the Gulf by means of a deepwater ship channel and is the seat and port of entry of Calcasieu Parish. It is no mystery why Lake Charles and Southwest Louisiana are referred to as the "Festival Capital of Louisiana." With more than 75 fairs, festivals and special events each year, our area has celebrations down to an art form - complete with food, music, lights and laughter. Contraband Days is one of Louisiana’s largest festivals and the City of Lake Charles' oldest festival. Contraband Days is a 12-day festival/carnival extravaganza filled with savory cajun food, family fun and festivities, and is attended by over 200,000 people annually. Each year during the first two weeks in May the city officially celebrates the legend of the pirate Jean Lafitte with its Contraband Days celebration. History tells us that Lafitte and his band of pirates once sailed the area's waterways and are said to have buried Lafitte's Contraband treasure somewhere in the vicinity of the lake. The festivities kick off every year with a pirate ship bombardment to "take control of the city" at the seawall of the Lake Charles Civic Center. A gang of rowdy and unruly buccaneers led by Jean Lafitte himself overruns the blazing cannons of the local militia, raises their "Jolly Roger" flag, captures the Mayor and forces him - with swords drawn - to walk the plank into the swirling waters of the lake.

McNeese State University
In 1938, Louisiana founded McNeese State University, then known as the Lake Charles Junior College, as a division of Louisiana State University. The opening session of the college began on September 11, 1939. The following fall, the school changed its name to John McNeese Junior College to honor John McNeese, a renowned South-west Louisiana educator and the first superintendent of schools in Imperial Calcasieu Parish. In 1950 McNeese became a four-year college in its own right and came under the authority of the Louisiana Board of Education. Finally, in 1970, McNeese State University became the official name of the school. The University provides opportunities for continuing education in support of its mission to value lifelong learning. As a member of the University of Louisiana System and a selective admissions institution, McNeese offers degrees through six academic colleges: Business, Education, Engineering and Technology, Liberal Arts, Nursing, and Science. McNeese’s student body comprises over 8,500 students from throughout Louisiana, the United States, and approximately 50 countries. McNeese’s athletic programs are NCAA-certified for competition at I-AA and I-A levels. The soccer team won the school's first ever conference tournament title and appeared in the NCAA Tournament in 2006. The McNeese State University campus in Lake Charles, Louisiana features 68 buildings on 500 acres dotted with live oak trees and azalea bushes. The McNeese community continues to use the three original structures - Kaufman Hall, Ralph O. Ward Memorial Gym (the Arena), and Francis G. Bulber Auditorium. Bulber Auditorium, a striking example of Art Deco architecture, is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. McNeese State University upholds a long tradition of service to the Southwest Louisiana community and the nation. The University’s motto of “Excellence with a Personal Touch” extends beyond the classroom to offering help to others in times of need. During World War II, the campus was the headquarters of the Louisiana Maneuvers, an extensive military exercise to prepare American soldiers for battle. In 1957, the McNeese community gave aid and comfort to the victims of Hurricane Audrey and served as the National Guard’s base of rescue operations. McNeese provided shelter for New Orleans residents and university students fleeing Hurricane Katrina in 2005. McNeese faced one of its greatest challenges when Hurricane Rita struck in the fall that same year. The storm caused devastating damage to campus facilities and infrastructure. The recovery effort after Hurricane Rita showed the community of Southwest Louisiana the high caliber of McNeese faculty, staff, and students in their commitment to complete the semester and move forward in support of the core values of academic excellence, student success, fiscal responsibility, and university/community alliances. www.mcneesesports.com

Chapman played in 39 games and scored 989 points for a 23.0 average, which is the top career average for a Cowgirl. She was a two-time most valuable player and an all-Louisiana selection. Besides leading the team in scoring in both seasons she also led in rebounds. Her 15.8 average for the 1975-76 season continues to stand as a school record. She played three seasons of professional basketball, served as an assistant coach at McNeese and is a teacher on coach in the state system.

She also ranks second in the state of Louisiana in career rebounds and is seventh in points scored. Jean was a four-time all-Louisiana selection and an all-Southland Conference pick for the only year that she played in the conference. In 1983, she also led the conference in rebounding with a 13.7 mark. She continues to hold 14 McNeese State records.
She was a two sport standout in basketball and softball and a four year letter winner in both. She also spent six years as an assistant women’s basketball coach and three years as tennis coach. In basketball, she was a point guard and at one time held the school record for career assists with 260.
