“Brooke came every day and worked. She has a tremendous work ethic and drive to be the very best. Our players love playing for her. To have a great point guard, those qualities are a must if your team is going to be successful.” Wells led the team in rebounding and double-doubles in her freshman year and finished as the ninth best rebounder in the conference. “Kitty had some success in scoring and rebounding at the end of our conference season. She has a lot of confidence with this new team. She has grown tremendously and has shown some great signs of becoming a tough player in this league.” Gaitlin showed great improvement after switching from a post player to a guard. She has worked hard in the off-season to improve all areas of her game. Kendrix showed great promise last year as an all-around post player with great offensive moves. She has worked hard to shore up her defense in order to be more of a presence in the lineup. Nutter, who was the starting center early in the season, has worked hard to adjust her game to the collegiate level in order to help her team even more this year. LaCombe, will try to make an immediate impact on her new team. She broke three national records in her freshman year at LSUE. Rounding out the squad are three true freshmen, one redshirt freshman and a walk-on. Adrienne Minor, a redshirt freshman, was injured in the first exhibition game last season, anxiously awaits her return to the hardwood. “We were very fortunate to sign yet another stellar recruiting class,” Williams says of her new Cowgirls. “They have fit right in and are rolling up their sleeves and working hard. They are learning each day what it takes to adjust to the college game. It has been so nice to have leadership and guidance for them from our upperclassmen.” Kylie Leonards is entering the program from Fairview High School, a perennial high school powerhouse. Leonards was named Louisiana’s Miss Basketball and was inducted into the Southwest Louisiana Hall of Fame. Liz Kingham graduated from Grand Lake High School as the District MVP and was a second team all-state selection in Class B. Kingham also participated in the Louisiana all-star game. Kat Kingham, twin sister of Liz, was injured during her senior year, but was named to the Class B first team all-state as a junior. The 2009-10 schedule will present a challenge to the Cowgirls, even with 16 home games and only 13 road games. The Cowgirls will play a strong non-conference slate with games against three Sun Belt teams and two Conference USA teams and one against an SEC foe.
Head coach Brooks Donald Williams and staff, who begin their third season with the Cowgirl program, are full of energy and excitement for the upcoming year. The Cowgirls are looking to build on one of the best starts in the program’s history, the most wins since 1999, going undefeated the month of December with big victories over local rivals UL-Lafayette and ULMonroe. An undefeated month of December, capped off by the win over three-time national champion, Louisiana Tech on January 3rd, propelled the Cowgirls to the Southland Conference Tournament for the second season in a row with hopes of a third straight appearance this season. The Cowgirls return one senior, two juniors, six sophomores, and reloaded with five freshmen. Kayla Armstrong will be looked upon to provide leadership as the lone senior. “Kayla is coming back after a tough junior season. She looks great and seems one hundred percent. We are very excited to have her back on the floor,” says Williams. Kiara Johnson and Ne’Aisha Anderson, who are a part of Williams’ first recruiting class, have shown vast improvement and look to have a big impact on and off the court. “What an awesome thing to see the growth of Kiara and Ne’Aisha! Both of these young ladies have been instrumental in this program’s development on and off the floor. They are our leaders and recruiters for the community, the team and for McNeese. I am so anxious for them to have incredible seasons.” With five returning sophomores (Brooke Froeba, Kendra Wells, Raiyawna Gaitlin, Ja’Niqua Kendrix, and Lauren Nutter) having a full year under their belt and one junior college transfer (Candace LaCombe), this class could have the largest impact determining the success of the program. “This is definitely a special recruiting class. They all got valuable time last year as freshmen. LaCombe was a standout for LSU-Eunice last season. The playing experience will help them step in and produce as sophomores. They have a hunger for this team and have learned so much in only one season. We are looking for big things from this bunch.” Froeba, who came to McNeese as a walk-on, earned her spot in the starting lineup during conference play last season and was awarded a full scholarship this summer. www.mcneesesports.com

years and all three recruiting classes at Southern Miss ranked among some of the best in the nation. She signed the Arkansas “Player of the Year”, Mississippi “Player of the Year”, a junior college All-American, as well as ten Top 100 players in the country. While at Southern Miss, Williams helped the Eagles improve its program each year and went 15-15 her last season with a 9-7 record in Conference USA. Her 2005 class consisted of both the Mississippi and Arkansas prep player of the year as well as a junior college All-American. Her 2006 and 2007 recruiting classes included Louisiana all-state performers from Acadiana High, Jena High, Dominican High and Dutchtown High School. Between college stops, Williams served temporarily as head coach at St. Thomas More High in Lafayette, La. As a prep player at Jennings High, Williams earned All-State, AllParish and All-District honors. She was a four-year starter and played in the Louisiana High School Athletic Association all-star game, serving as team captain. Her Jennings squad won four straight district titles. Williams was also a member of the Acadiana Stars AAU program during her prep days, participating in state and national tournaments. She was a member of the Lady Bulldogs squad at Mississippi State University, from which she holds a bachelor degree, but had her playing career sidelined due to an injury. Williams is the daughter of Jennings community members, David and Brenda Donald and the granddaughter and great niece of Dan L. Donald and Walter “Bunk” Donald, former Jennings business leaders and owners of W.B. Donald Chevrolet and Cadillac and founders of Jeff Davis Bank & Trust Co. Williams’ uncle, Dan Donald, currently serves as President of Jeff Davis Bank & Trust Co. Williams has one brother, Seth Donald, who resides in Shreveport and recently opened his own agency with State Farm. She has three nieces, Mary Brooks, Eliza and Mae Donald. Williams’ family coaching mentor is her uncle and godfather, Doug Fowler. Coach Fowler, a 2008 Mississippi Association of Coaches Hall of Fame inductee and extremely active leader of Fellowship of Christian Athletes, is a former coach and Mississippi Association of Coaches executive director who served the coaching profession for over 40 years in the high school and collegiate ranks. The 31 year old is married to Tyler Williams of Memphis, Tn. Tyler currently serves as Marketing Director for Jeff Davis Bank.
In just two seasons at McNeese State University, head coach Brooks Donald Williams has made a major impact on the Cowgirl basketball program. On the court, Williams has led the Cowgirls to the Southland Conference Tournament both years, and the 14 victories by the Cowgirls in 2009, including a victory over three-time National Champions Louisiana Tech, is the most single season wins since the 19992000 season. The Cowgirls shot a school record, led the Southland Conference (for the second straight year) and ranked 76th in the nation with a 71.8 free throw percent last season. The Cowgirls also ranked second in the SLC with a 34.3 three-point field goal percent. Off the court, Williams and the Cowgirls have participated in numerous community service activities including the Ethel Precht Breast Cancer Walk and the Jeff Davis Bank Toys for Tots drive for the past two years. Williams has ignited a fan following in the community, speaking to groups about her passion and motivation about the revival of the program. Williams’ community and local recruiting efforts have increased attendance 138% in two seasons. Williams was named one of Southwest Louisiana’s Up and Coming Under 40 recipients by the Times of Southwest Louisiana and Fusion Five Magazine this past year. In her first season, Williams guided the Cowgirls to a 10-21 record and second place tie in the East Division after being picked to finish sixth in the preseason polls. Williams led the Cowgirls to victories in four of their last six games that season and a Southland Conference Tournament bid. Williams’ 2007-08 squad broke seven McNeese records (six team and one individual), tied two, and set a Southland Conference record with 16 three-pointers made in a road victory at Lamar. The Cowgirls also handed the Cardinals their first home loss of the season that night. The Cowgirls also upset longtime national powerhouse Stephen F. Austin and eventual Southland Conference Tournament champion and NCAA participant Texas-San Antonio. McNeese ended the season leading the league in free throw shooting percent, ranked second in three-point field goals made and assist-turnover ratio, and ranked third in three-point field goal percent. Williams, McNeese State’s ninth head coach, brought interest and excitement back to the Cowgirl program in her first season and continues to build something special at McNeese. In her first full recruiting season at McNeese, Williams continued to show why she is a proven recruiter by signing the Louisiana 3A and 5A state MVP’s and the Northeast Louisiana “Player of the Year”. Most recently, Williams signed the 2009 Louisiana Sports Writers’ Miss Basketball and Class B outstanding player and MVP, along with two local all-state players and a national junior college scoring leader. A native of Jennings, La., Williams spent three years at the University of Southern Mississippi. Prior to her stint with the Lady Eagles, she spent one season at the University of Memphis and three years at the University of Arkansas-Little Rock. A proven recruiter, Williams served as recruiting coordinator at all three universities. She signed several prep standouts throughout her recruiting

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 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. www.mcneesesports.com

Lake Charles is Dallas: 358.8 miles connected to the Gulf by means Houston: 142.8 miles New Orleans: 205.2 miles of a deep-water 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 12day 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

Shante’ Perry was a two-time All-SLC pick during her four year career at McNeese. Perry scored her 1,000th point against UT-Arlington on Feb. 11, 2009 and ended her career as the school’s ninth all-time leading scorer. In her senior season, she led the Cowgirls in scoring and ranked second in the Southland Conference with 15.7 ppg. She ranked second in the SLC with 2.3 three-pointers made per game, third with an 82.6 free throw percent. Perry ranked among the nations best in points per game, three-point percent, field goal percent, three-point field goal percent and three-point field goals per game. She scored in double figures in 24 games and set a McNeese and tied a SLC record with nine three-pointers made in the Cowgirls’ 71-66 victory over Louisiana Tech (Jan. 3, 2009). In that game, she also tied a McNeese single game record for points scored with 39.

Sonny Watkins and Bridget Martin served as co-head coaches for four years (1990-94). During that time they were one of a few co-head coaches in the nation. The duo guided McNeese to three Southland Confernece Tournaments and produced two All-Southland Conference players in Robin Daniels and Tangela McAlister. Both players garnered individual honors as well. Daniels was named the league’s “Freshman of the Year” in 1992 while McAlister was named the SLC “Newcomer of the Year” that same year. In 1993, McAlister was named to the Basketball Times All-America Team, only the fourth and last McNeese player to become an All-American. Watkins later served as the Universities Athletic Director from 1995-2007 while Martin went on to serve as head coach for seven more years before being named McNeese’s Associate AD for Compliance and Senior Woman Administrator in 2002, titles she still holds to date.
