Athletic Facilities f you happen to enter the Southeastern Louisiana University campus from the west, you can’t help but notice the Lions’ trademark athletic facility dominating the horizon. Southeastern’s multi-purpose University Center provides an impressive home for Lions and Lady Lions basketball as well as the volleyball squad. Built in 1982 at a cost of $16.3 million, the UC has seating capacity for 7,500 and hosts many other functions including Southeastern’s commencement, a variety of concerts and community events, and the circus. For home basketball games, there’s no denying the electric atmosphere in “The Jungle.” The Lions baseball team is fortunate to play in one of the finest collegiate parks in the region at Pat Kenelly Diamond in stately Alumni Field. Named for all Southeastern

Louisiana alumni as well as long-time coach Pat Kenelly, the park holds over 2,500 and is the culmination of several years and $750,000 worth of improvements completely funded by the SLU Booster Club (now known as the Lion Athletic Association). Nestled amongst soaring pines, Alumni Field is enclosed by a two-tier fence and includes state-of-the-art lighting, an inning-by-inning scoreboard with message center, field-level box seating and a fully-functional press and radio box. As far as history goes, almost no place on campus can claim as much as hallowed Strawberry Stadium. Built in 1937 the venerable 7,408-seat stadium is the home of the Southeastern gridiron and track and field squads. The field was renovated in 2003 with the installation of a new state-ofthe art synthetic surface called SprinTurf. Other upgrades including a
revamped visitor’s locker room and across the board aesthetic improvements. Prior to the 2008 season, a new state-fo-the-art press box with club seats and suites was constructed. After many years in Strawberry Stadium, the Lion and Lady Lion track and field team will move to a new facility beginning in 2011. Across campus, the Southeastern Soccer Complex has seen improvements as well. Home to the 1998 and ‘99, 2002 and 2003 Southland Conference champions, a new fence, scoreboard and field improvements were added and continue to make the complex one of the finest in the south. Part of the beautiful North Oak Park recreation complex, Southeastern’s lighted softball field continues to improve each year. Under the guidance of head coach Pete Langlois, new dugouts have been added, lights installed and stadium seating capacity

increased in his tenure. Prior to the start of the 2005 season, a new press box and operations center was added and the Lady Lions hosted the 2005 Southland Conference tournament for the first time. In 2010, new batting cages and a gated entrance to North Oak Park were added. Soccer and softball also share the recently renovated North Campus facility, which provides each sport with its own spacious locker room, coaches offices and indoor turfed facility. Through the ambitious efforts of golf coach Tim Baldwin, Southeastern has an agreement with Carter Plantation one of the top new courses in the state - and the Lions have a first-class practice and playing facility to utilize. The Southeastern tennis courts located just north of the heart of the SLU campus continue to improve as well. New nets and scoreboards were installed and court resurfacing added to the Lady Lions impressive eightcourt facility. Southeastern coaches and staff along with the football locker room reside in the Dugas Center for Athletics located adjacent to the south end of Strawberry Stadium. The facility, built in 1971, houses offices for administrative staff, as well as football, tennis, baseball and golf. Recent renovations provided space for the Lions’ new programs and staff as well as provided new office and locker room space for baseball.

Football Facilities he Southeastern Football Locker Room (above), made possible through the generous support of Mr. Claude Penn and Mr. George Lockhart, provides the Lions a firstclass retreat before and after practice or games. The room features nearly 100 hand-made lockers, each with under seat and overhead storage. The Lions hold team meetings in the Dugas Center for Southeastern Athletics, highlighted by the Squad Room which is located on the second floor. Located adjacent to Pat Kenelly Diamond at Alumni Field, the Southeastern Practice Fields allow the team to prepare for each game. Two 100-yard long fields with a filming tower located between each field, allows the coaching staff to evaluate players.

Strength and Conditioning he mission of the Southeastern Strength and Conditioning program is to develop our student-athletes both physically and mentally to be able to compete for and win a Southland Conference Championship. Under the direction of Charlie Dudley, Director for Sport Performance, the core of the program is based on multi-joint movements involving large muscle groups. Exercises such as the power clean, squat, and variations of these lifts make up the bulk of the program. Special assistance exercises and accessory lifts supplement the core lifts all of which serve to improve athletic performance and to prevent injuries. The Southeastern program touches on all aspects of athletics performance including strength, speed,

endurance, agility, flexibility, mental toughness, and nutrition. The strength staff works closely with the sports medicine staff to help prevent injuries and ensure that there is a quick return to full athletic ability if an injury happens to occur. Our goal as a staff is for our program to teach the student athletes about dedication, commitment and hard work. Three things that will help them excel as athletes, student, and in their professional life after athletics.

Giving Back ince the arrival of head coach Mike Lucas, the Southeastern Lions have taken a three-prong attack to building their football team. The first is developing players in the classroom, second is on the field and third is assisting in the community. While the majority of Southeastern football fans only notice their Lions on Saturdays in Strawberry Stadium, it's not hard to find them scattered about, performing services in the community. You only need to know where to look. Under the direction of assistant coach Tyronee Williams, the Lions have performed numerous services throughout the Hammond community. They have cleaned up debris left by Hurricane Katrina both on campus and at a local day care center as part

of the Martin Luther King, Jr. celebration, read to elementary school children numerous times and have volunteered at both the Louisiana Special Olympics and Ladies’ Top 28 High School Basketball Tournament just to name a few. Many times they are asked only to attend special community events and meet and greet guests. But whatever the case, from reading to heavy lifting, the Lions are ready, willing, and able to give back to the Hammond community.

Southland Conference n 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 the academic and athletic accomplishments of its member institutions. What began as a small gathering of college administrators more than 45 years ago, the Southland Conference has transformed itself into a dynamic and respected consortium of 12 member universities in three states. Beginning with a historic meeting of five institutions in Dallas on March 15, 1963, that included current members Lamar University (then Lamar State College of Technology) and the University of Texas at Arlington (then Arlington State College), the Southland Conference set on an extraordinary course that has proven successful well into its fifth decade of existence. On July 1, 2006, the Southland Conference commemorated another milestone as the league membership reached 12, marking the largest configuration ever for the organization. The addition of the University of Central Arkansas and Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi expanded the Southland into the Little Rock, Ark., metro area and into the eighth largest city in Texas. In addition to its two newest members, the Southland Conference lineup also consists of Lamar, McNeese State, Nicholls State, Northwestern State, Sam Houston State, Southeastern Louisiana, Stephen F. Austin, UT Arlington, UTSA, and Texas State University.

The Southland sponsors 17 championship sports, all at the NCAA Division I level. The eight men’s sports include baseball, basketball, cross country, football, golf, tennis, and indoor and outdoor track and field. The women compete for nine championships in basketball, cross country, golf, soccer, softball, tennis, indoor and outdoor track and field, and volleyball. The conference earns automatic qualification to NCAA championships in baseball, men’s and women’s basketball, men’s and women’s cross country, football, men’s and women’s golf, women’s soccer, softball, men’s and women’s tennis, and volleyball. Southland Conference football ranks among the best Football Championship Subdivision leagues in the nation, and enjoys an annual expectation of competing for the national championship with multiple teams advancing to the NCAA playoffs each year. In 2002 and 2003, McNeese State finished the regular season ranked No. 1 in the nation, and advanced to the 2002 national championship contest, the sixth such title game appearance since the league joined the FCS in 1982. All told, Southland teams have played in 92 Division I playoff games in 28 years, winning 43 of the contests. Historically, the Southland’s successful football heritage has sustained itself through numerous membership and classification changes. Originally an NAIA conference, the Southland joined the NCAA College Division in 1968. The College Division was re-named
NCAA Division II in 1973, and the league played two seasons in that class. The Southland was an NCAA Division I league from 1975-81, before joining the ranks of I-AA (now the FCS) in 1982, its home ever since. During its tenure as a Division I-A conference from 1975-81, the Southland Conference was instrumental in the startup of the Independence Bowl in 1976. The Southland representative served as the host team of the bowl until 1980, compiling a 2-3 record in those contests. McNeese State, which has made 14 appearances in the national playoffs, played in the 1997 and 2002 NCAA Division I FCS national championship games, while Stephen F. Austin played in the 1989 title game and has five playoff appearances, reaching the quarterfinals in 2009. Northwestern State has played in the playoffs six times, and advanced to the semifinals in 1998, while Sam Houston State has earned four trips to the postseason, including the semifinals in 2004. Nicholls has participated three times in the playoffs. In 2008, Texas State made its second postseason appearance in four years. Included was a trip to the semifinals in 2005. On four occasions, the Southland has placed three teams in the national 16-team playoffs. Six of the eight current football-playing members have qualified for the FCS playoffs. In addition, Texas State won NCAA Division II titles in 1981 and 1982 before joining the Southland.

Joining Southeastern’s 14 other athletic programs which joined the league in 1997-98, Southeastern competed as a full-fledged Southland Conference member for the first time in 2005 and was immediately eligible for the league title as well as the corresponding automatic berth to the NCAA Division I-AA (now FCS) playoffs. The Lions are one of eight football-playing institutions in the SLC spread throughout Texas, Louisiana and Arkansas. Southeastern joins fellow Louisiana members Northwestern State, McNeese State and Nicholls State along with Central Arkansas and Texas schools - Texas State, Sam Houston State, and Stephen F. Austin. The most recent conference affiliation for the Lions on the gridiron was the Gulf Star Conference when they were a member from 1984-1985. From 198083, the Lions played as a I-AA Independent after moving up from Division II following the 1979 season. The Lions played in the Gulf South Conference, one of the top Division II leagues in the country, from 1971-78 and were a member of the NAIA Gulf States Conference from 1948-1970. In 1946-47, the Lions were a part of the Louisiana Intercollegiate Conference. With its current conference affiliation, the Lions will also vie to win their first conference title since 1961.

Hammond: Crossroads of the South pioneering railroad town, Hammond has been a staple of Northshore life since 1830 when Peter Hammond decided to call a tract of land 55 miles outside of New Orleans home. At the turn of the 20th century, Hammond struck gold—in the form of red. With the development of the strawberry industry, Hammond saw another explosion in growth. The city became a center for growing, processing, and shipping strawberries. Boxcar loads of strawberries became a staple of the area. As trains left the city headed north, the money flowed south.

Hammond prospered throughout the rest of the 20th century. Planes began flying into the area and a university came to town. Industry moved in, and with it, more people. As the interstate corridors of I-55 and I-12 developed, Hammond’s footprint did too. People are choosing Hammond because of its close proximity between New Orleans and Baton Rouge. More shops, restaurants, and culture are less than an hour drive. Small town living with big city flare gives Hammond a lifestyle edge.

2010 Outlook Veteran Lions Poised For Run At SLC Title fter posting its first winning season since
A
2004 and contending for the Southland Conference title for much of the season,
the Southeastern Louisiana University football team is poised to take its next step in its historic return to the gridiron. With a roster that has strong veteran leadership and balance between its classes, Southeastern will enter the 2010 season with a solid nucleus consisting of 51 returning letterwinners and 19 returning starters.

2010 Outlook
Simmie Yarborough “We are in a position as a program to accomplish goals that we set back in 2007 when we first came here as a staff,” fifth-year head coach Mike Lucas said. “A lot of the returning guys started that first season against some very tough opponents when they were true freshmen. Now they’ve got the experience and are able to put all the pieces of the puzzle together. Now, we just have to perform.” With a staff that had mostly been together since 2005, the Lions have been able to gradually build their program behind a wide-open, and unpredictable offense, and a swarming defense. But despite having a new offensive coordinator (Allen Rudolph) for the first time in four years, there will not be any noticeable changes when the Lions have the ball. “Knowing the importance of not changing the system or the terminology because we have to much experience coming back,” Lucas said. “Now, it’s just plugging in the pieces with a different coach calling the plays. Everything has remained the same and that was very evident in spring practice. Our kids didn’t miss a step and picked up right where we left off.” Probably the biggest change for the Lions will be at quarterback as returning letterwinner Tyler Beatty
www.LionSports.net
and third-year sophomore B.J. Young will vie to replace Brian Babin, who threw for over 7,400 yards and 62 touchdowns in three years. Beatty, who transferred from Baylor prior to the 2008 season, enters his senior year with the most experience on the roster while Young, a promising thirdyear player, will make a strong push at becoming the Lions’ next signalcaller. “Both Tyler and B.J. are much more athletic and do more things as far as using their feet,” Lucas said. “Their mobility will allow us to do some different things offensively with our play installation. The biggest difference is the number of snaps they’ve had. Tyler started two games for us last year and got some significant snaps while B.J. has taken a snap. The more snaps we can get them in game-like situations between now and when we open the season against Tulane is going to be important for us.” Whoever will be taking the snaps at quarterback in 2010 will have a stable of skill players to work with, highlighted by wide receiver and AllAmerica candidate Simmie Yarborough. Returning letterwinners Andre Cryer, Kory Theodore and Greg Johnson will help solidify a strong receiving corp for the Lions
Nathan Clophus while the sophomore tandem of Zeke Jones and Sam Fairley will give Southeastern a strong running game. An experienced offensive line that returns five starters, and is paced by fifth-year senior Kevin Hughes, will look to give Southeastern a more physical presence as it competes in one of the most balanced leagues in the Football Championship Subdivision (FCS). With the return of 11 starters and experience at each position on defense, Southeastern will field its deepest overall unit since reinstating its program in 2003. Senior linebacker Mark Newbill (110 tackles) and senior defensive back Re’Keem Wilson (four interceptions) both return after each claimed First-Team AllSouthland Conference honors in 2009. Also returning for the Lions is 2008 All-American Tommy Connors, who earned a medical hardship after suffering a season-ending injury in Southeastern’s third game of the year. Returning letterwinners Ryan Godare, Nathan Clophus, Devan Walker and Avery Crooks are key players along the front seven for the Lions while Robert Alford, Curtis Strong and Clint Coleman will be key players in the secondary.

Quarterbacks One of the key objectives for the Southeastern Louisiana football team must meet to compete for a Southland Conference championship is replacing 2009 senior Brian Babin at quarterback. Babin left the program among the career leaders in every passing category after starting for the past three years under center. While Babin’s experience and production will be missed, the Lions have a pair of capable replacements returning to compete for the starting job in Tyler Beatty (6-4, 210, Sr.) and B.J. Young (6-2, 200, So.). Southeastern head coach Mike Lucas believes their abilities will allow them to be weapons for the Lion attack. “Both Tyler and B.J. are much more athletic and do more things as far as using their feet,” Lucas commented. “Their mobility will allow us to do some different things offensively with our play installation.” Beatty is the more experienced of the two, having played in nine games in 2009. The Pflugerville, Texas native finished with 483 passing yards and four touchdowns on the year, while also rushing for 115 yards. With Babin out injured, Beatty was named Louisiana Offensive Player of the Week after throwing for 297 yards and three scores in a 25-21 win over Southland Conference rival Central Arkansas. While Young has yet to see ingame action, he has been working in the system for the previous two seasons. An All-District 6-5A performer at Hahnville High School, Young threw for 2,219 yards and a River Parishrecord 29 touchdowns as a senior. Beatty and Young were embroiled in a close competition during the spring. Heading into fall, Beatty’s edge in

experience has given him the inside track for the starting job. The Lions also spent the recruiting season looking for a future signal caller, signing a trio of quarterbacks. Freshmen Gavin Webster (6-0, 190, Fr.), Jeremy Meyers (6-2, 210, Fr.) and Jordan Barnett (6-3, 210, Fr.) will be in Hammond for fall camp hoping to move up the depth chart. “We have three talented freshman quarterbacks coming into camp,” Lucas stated. “We’re looking forward to seeing which one of those guys is ready to step in and help us.” Running Backs The Lions will also be looking to replace a starter at running back, as All-Southland Conference performer Jasper Ducksworth finished his eligibility after a solid senior campaign With new offensive coordinator Allen Rudolph expected to deploy a more physical, balanced attack in 2010, Zeke Jones (6-0, 240, So.) is expected to handle the bulk of the load for the Lions after showing flashes of brilliance as Duckworth’s backup in 2009. Jones, a Springfield native, averaged 5.0 yards per carry and rushed for 395 yards a season ago. An explosive blend of power and speed, Jones tied Ducksworth for the team lead with five rushing touchdowns. During the year he posted a 106-yard, two-touchdown performance in a 69-20 rout of Union College and also recorded 71 yards and a touchdown versus Sam Houston State. With Jones expected to receive more touches in 2010, the Southland Conference coaches and sports information directors have put him on the preseason All-Southland team as a second team selection. Lucas and Rudolph both have faith in Jones’ ability to be the feature back in the Lion offense. “Zeke really stepped up in the offseason and in spring practice for us,”
Zeke Jones
Lucas commented. “With Jasper gone to graduation, Zeke is the guy now. He’s responded by getting himself into great condition and shedding a few pounds to help his quickness.” Speedy Sam Fairley (5-9, 180, So.) is slated to back up Jones and be a solid compliment. In limited action as a true freshman, Fairley ran for 104 yards and a touchdown. He also ran back nine kickoffs, averaging just under 19 yards a return. “Sam has great quickness,” Lucas stated. “With an added year in the weight room, he looks to be more physical. We think Zeke and Sam can be special players for us and hopefully we can keep them healthy.” Newcomers Michael Chaney (510, 200, So.) and Jordan Wells (511, 195, So.) are also expected to compete for carries. Helping to clear the way for the Lion runners will be fullbacks Kyle Nichols (5-9, 240, So.) and Justin Owens (6-0, 215, So.). “Sam and Zeke will definitely handle the majority of the carries,” Lucas said. “But we expect some other guys to be able to help us. Michael, Kyle and Justin all had good springs and are mature enough to play in the Southland.” Wide Receivers Whoever wins the Lion quarterback battle will have several capable pass catchers to work with, led by Consensus Draft Services Preseason All-American Simmie Yarborough (61, 205, Jr.). After earning Louisiana Freshman of the Year honors in 2008, Yarborough firmly established himself as one of the Southland Conference’s premier targets. The Brookhaven, Miss. native led the Lions with 57 receptions, 803 yards and 12 receiving touchdowns, despite missing a game due to a late season injury. Yarborough heads into his junior cam-

Position-By-Position
paign with every career school receiving record within his reach. Lucas believes Yarborough will pick up right where he left off as 2010 approaches. “Simmie’s our leader and we’re expecting a big season from him,” Lucas commented. “He missed some time for us last year and we really missed him offensively. He’s back, healthy and ready to go. He’s worked hard in becoming more physical.” Yarborough will be one of several weapons Rudolph will be able to deploy in the air attack. Andre Cryer (5-7, 170, Sr.) and Kory Theodore (61, 200, Jr.) are slated to be the other starters. Both Cryer (30 catches, 373 yards, two touchdowns) and Theodore (29 catches, 398 yards, three touchdowns) are proven producers and will have an increase of opportunities in the coming season. Wide receiver is arguably the team’s deepest position. Luis Sobalvarro (6-3, 215, Sr.), Reshad Douglas (6-3, 190, So.), Greg Johnson (5-9, 175, So.) and Tony McCrea (5-10, 175, Fr.) all should factor in Rudolph’s plans. At tight end, Cole Wardell (6-4, 244, Sr.) will be utilized in the running and passing game. ”Each of our receivers bring something to the table that they can do specifically to add to the offense,” Lucas said. “Andre has played a lot of snaps for us and we can do a lot of different things with him in the lineup. Kory gives us a vertical threat with his speed. We were excited in spring practice about Tony and what he can do with the football in his hands. We feel like the receiver position can be a strength for us again this year. “Cole has been very consistent for us as a three-year letterwinner,” Lucas added. “We’ll be able to attach
Greg Johnson
www.LionSports.net
a tight end to the formation much more than we did in the past to help us in our running game.” Offensive Line With four starters returning, the Lion offensive line should be able to provide plenty of room for the team’s playmakers to be productive. Leading the offensive line corps is two-time All-Southland Conference left tackle Kevin Hughes (6-4, 290, Sr.). Hughes will be joined on the left side by the line’s only new starter – left guard Evan Niles (6-2, 310, Sr.). Anchoring the Lion troops in the trenches will be returning starting center Josh Penton (6-3, 270, Sr.). Massive Michael Stallworth (6-2, 340, Sr.) returns at right guard, while Paul Roppolo (6-5, 260, So.) and Josh Bridges (6-2, 290, Sr.) give Southeastern a pair of experienced pieces at right tackle. Several Lions will be looked to provide depth up front. Gasten Gabriel (6-5, 280, Fr.), Cody Kennedy (5-11, 260, Sr.), Marshall Paris (6-2, 270, Fr.) and Geremy Wilson (6-3, 305, Fr.) will all compete for playing time in 2010. “We have a lot of experience on the offensive line coming back with four returning starters plus Josh, who has seen considerable playing time,” Lucas commented. “Evan was a starter at the junior college level, so we have a lot of college starts returning on the line. There is a lot of continuity in that group that played together all season. I feel like we can take a step forward with that group heading into the 2010 season.” Defensive Line The Southeastern Louisiana has arguably its deepest defensive line corps since the program’s return in 2003 with as many as 10 players slated to battle for playing time up front. Lucas and defensive coordinator Matt
Josh Penton
Webb will look to get more push up front from this year’s group. Devan Walker (6-3, 245, So.) and Nathan Clophus (6-3, 265, Sr.) are slated to start on the ends with Lindsey Leavoy (6-4, 250, Jr.) and Quinton Foster (6-2, 210, So.) also expected to see action as pass rushing specialists. Walker (36 tackles, five tackles for loss, one sack and one forced fumble in 2009), Clophus (35 tackles, one sack, one fumble recovery), Leavoy (36 tackles, two sacks, two forced fumbles) and Foster (one sack, two fumble recoveries, one forced fumbles) will all benefit from increased playing time and another offseason in the weight room. “We’re very talented up front,” Lucas said. “Devan could turn out to be one of the best players that I’ve ever coached. He’s a very determined football player who continues to work on every aspect of his game. The weight room has been good to him and we’re expecting him to have a breakout season. Nathan has been playing for us since he was a true freshman (in 2007) and is a very intelligent player. “We’ve got some solid backups on the outside in Lindsey and Quinton,” Lucas continued. “We feel we can put them in at any time.” Perhaps the fall’s most intriguing position battles will come on the interior defensive line. Returning starter Stephen Pieczynski (6-6, 265, Sr.) and newcomer Luther Chambers (62, 300, Jr.) are the starters heading into the fall. But the duo will be pushed by Chambers’ fellow East Mississippi Community College product C.J. Jenkins (6-1, 290, Jr.), as well as veterans Will Kelly (6-2, 275, So.) and Tramaine Lucas (6-1, 260, So.). Perhaps the biggest boost to the interior will be the return of Devin

dous faith in their two senior linebackers. “We have good experience coming back starting with Mark and Ryan,” Lucas stated. “They diagnose plays so well, get to the football and give us tremendous leadership.” Avery Crooks (6-2, 225, Jr.) also figures to factor into the plans, as both he and Jordan McClay (5-10, 210, So.) are expected to benefit from increased playing time.
Alford (5-11, 205, So.) and Stephen Moreaux (5-11, 180, Sr.) will add depth on the back end. “The safety position can really dominate a football game,” Lucas commented. “With the way we’re playing our safeties and the talent we have, we’re very happy with what we have back there. “Re’Keem had a great year for us last year, leading the Southland in interceptions,” Lucas added. “Having Tommy back from injury will be a huge help. Curtis might the best of the three when you put them all out there.” Southeastern should also be strong at corner with Robert Alford (5-11, 180, So.), Clint Coleman (6-1,
Tramaine Lucas
Boutwell (6-3, 305, Jr.), who missed all of 2009 with an injury. As a sophomore in 2008, the Buras native earned honorable mention AllSouthland Conference honors and excelled as a run stuffer in the middle. ”We’re going to have some great competition inside,” Lucas stated. “Stephen came in last season and played very well for us with little experience on the line. With Lutcher, C.J. and Devin added to the mix, along with Tramaine Lucas and Will Kelly, we’re going to be able to rotate all those guys inside and keep fresh legs.”
“Avery is very good and we’re excited about what he can do when he’s on the field,” Lucas commented. “Jordan had a good year and is going to be in the mix as well.”
Linebackers With the Lions switching back to a 4-2-5 defensive package, Southeastern has the luxury of two of the Southland Conference’s surest tacklers in Mark Newbill (5-11, 215, Sr.) and Ryan Godare (6-0, 215, Sr.) patrolling the middle at linebacker. A preseason All-America selection by Consensus Draft Services, Newbill is coming off a tremendous junior campaign. A first team All-Southland Conference and All-Louisiana selection, the Monroe native led the team and finished with 110 tackles a season ago. Ten of those stops were for loss, as Newbill also posted two sacks, an interception, a fumble recovery and a forced fumble. While not receiving the accolades of Newbill, Godare has been nearly as productive in his three years in Hammond. Last season, the solid Sulphur native was credited with 87 tackles – including eight for loss – to go with two fumble recoveries and a forced fumble. Lucas and Webb have tremen-
Defensive Backs The Southeastern defense is backed by one of the premier secondary groups in all of FCS, featuring a pair of Consensus Draft Services AllAmericans in safeties Re’Keem Wilson (5-11, 190, Sr.) and Tommy Connors (6-1, 215, Sr.). Wilson had a breakout season in 2009, earning first team All-Southland Conference accolades after leading the Southland Conference with four interceptions. He and fellow starter Curtis Strong (6-0, 190, Sr.) will both be back into the fold after impressive 2009 campaigns. Strong was fourth on the team with 54 tackles, to go with two interceptions and five pass breakups. The Lion safety corps will benefit greatly from the return of Connors, who redshirted after suffering an injury early in the 2009 campaign. As a junior, Connors was a consensus AllAmerican after leading the Southland with four interceptions to go with a team-high 108 tackles. Zach Albin (6-0, 210, So.), Tay

200, Sr.) and Craig Duronslet (5-11, 175, Jr.) all heading into 2010 with a wealth of experience. Alford and Duronslet each had an interception a season ago, while Alford, a Hammond native, was third on the team with five pass breakups. T’Darryl Grays (5-11, 185, Fr.) will also vie for time at corner in the fall. “We know what Robert can do at one corner with his athleticism,” Lucas said. “He really took a big jump in the spring and is more disciplined in his coverage. Clint had been a two-sport athlete and went through his first spring this past year. We’re expecting big things out of him this year.” Specialists Returning starting punter Beau Mothe (6-3, 180, So.) returns to head a young, but talented special teams unit. Mothe, a two-time Louisiana
www.LionSports.net
Position-By-Position
Zach Albin
Special Teams Player of the Week in 2009, is coming off an impressive freshman campaign. With his impressive hang time on his punts, the New Orleans native averaged 38.2 yards per punt. More importantly, Mothe was able to take opponents out of their return game, as the Lions allowed just 2.0 yards per punt return last season. A pair of true freshman – Seth Sebastian (6-0, 185, Fr.) and Jorge Santamaria (5-10, 180, Fr.) – will battle to replace the school’s all-time leading scorer Jeff Turner at place kicker. Mothe will be the holder on field goal and extra point attempts, while Troy Metcalfe (6-0, 215, Jr.) will step in for AllSouthland Conference long snapper and 2009 Lion senior Paul Moneaux. “Beau was a huge surprise for us,” Lucas said. “He showed great maturity with all the punting he did last year. It’s going to be a total competition for the kicker position after losing Jeff to graduation. Both Seth and Jorge had great high school careers and we’re going to see how the make the adjustment to the college game.” McCrea will get the first crack at punt return duties and will team with Fairley to give the Lions a dangerous kickoff return tandem. “Tony can really add something to our return game,” Lucas commented. “He was redshirted last year and we tried him at defensive back. We moved him to receiver in the spring and he’s showed us that he’s special when he has the ball in his hands.” Beau Mothe

Head Coach Mike Lucas
Mike Lucas Head Coach • Fourth Year • Liberty ‘82 ntering his fourth full season as head football coach at Southeastern Louisiana University, Mike Lucas has continued to strive on a mission of molding a championship-caliber program through a heavy emphasis on in-state recruiting. Named the 14th head football coach in Southeastern Louisiana history on December 14, 2006, his main focus was to quickly stabilize a young program that was affected by two seasons of distractions while building a program with new players from a deep pool of talent in the state of Louisiana. One look at the Southeastern roster reveals a strong base of players from the Pelican State. Of the players on the 2010 roster, 65 hail from the state of Louisiana with 51 coming from within the state in the past three years. But with his many years of experience in the Southland Conference, learning under some of the league’s legendary mentors, and gaining the trust and admiration of his players, Lucas has the Lions on track as they enter their sixth season in one of the top football conferences in the Football Championship Subdivision. Under Lucas’ guidance, Southeastern has improved its overall record each season while attendance at Strawberry Stadium has steadily increased during the same time span. After leading Southeastern to a 6-5 record, its best mark since finishing 7-4 in 2004, Lucas was selected as Coach of the Year by the Louisiana Sports Writers Association and was later awarded with a new three-year contract extension. Paced by strong performances on offense by Brian Babin and Simmie Yarborough,

Southeastern posted the third-highest mark in total offense (4,274 yards) and passing yards (3,112) in school history. Yarborough, despite missing two games with an injury, recorded 803 receiving yards with 12 touchdowns – the second-highest total for both categories in a single season. For the second straight year, 10 players earned All-Southland Conference honors with Mark Newbill and Re’Keem Wilson each earning first-team honors. Southeastern provided its fans with one of the greatest comebacks in school history as it rallied from a 24-point fourth quarter deficit on the road and edged league rival Texas State in overtime, 51-50. The Lions’ emotional win in San Marcos, their first victory ever against their league rival in 13 contests, gave Southeastern fans new excitement of what was to come and showed that the Lions were going to play the full 60 minutes. The win propelled Southeastern to open league play with a 4-1 record that included a 25-21 victory over nationally-ranked Central Arkansas along with victories over Sam Houston State and Northwestern State. The 27-0 win against the Demons, their in-state rival and most common opponent, was Southeastern’s first victory in Natchitoches since 1976 and the Lions’ first shutout since a 28-0 decision against Western Kentucky in 1984. And through his own personal trials, Lucas has also provided his team with a toughness and determination not seen by most football programs. Lucas’ leadership was never more evident in the 2008 season when he had to step away from the sidelines for the final six games due to having a heart valve procedure. His first

decision was to name then-offensive coordinator Tommy Condell as acting head coach – a move that helped the program maintain its stability. The Lions finished the 2008 campaign with a 5-7 record and were competitive in each game of a 12-game schedule that included FBS opponents Mississippi State and Louisiana Tech. Despite missing the final six games as head coach, Lucas was allowed by his doctors to return to coaching as he assisted Condell and defensive coordinator Matt Webb in the Lions’ regular-season finale at Nicholls State. He was soon given full medical clearance and was quickly back on the recruiting trail before eventually returning to the sidelines in Southeastern’s 2009 opener against Texas A&M-Commerce. In 2008, Southeastern posted the third-best mark in school history for passing yards (3,087), all-purpose yards (5,702), total offense (4,088) and points scored (327). Babin posted the third-best totals for passing yards (2,806), touchdowns (25) and completion percentage (62.4) while three receivers, Jay Lucas, Chris Wilson and Yarborough, the SLC Freshman-of-the-Year, each caught 50 passes in a season. Defensively, safety Tommy Connors produced an All-American season, finishing second in the Southland Conference in tackles while leading the league in interceptions. Officially named head football coach at the end of the 2006 campaign after serving the previous two seasons as defensive coordinator, Lucas is familiar with the ingredients that are needed to be a consistent winner in the Southland Conference. Lucas took over the program on an interim basis for the final three games of the 2006 season before embarking on his first full season as head coach in 2007. With a new quarterback and tremendous youth on the defensive side of the ball, the Lions showed dramatic improvement and played with the heart and determination needed to win championships. Southeastern finished the 2007 season with a 3-8 record, but the foundation for a successful gridiron future was laid under Lucas’ guidance. Offensively in 2007, Southeastern relied on the play of All-SLC running back Jay Lucas along with first-year starter Babin, who made great strides during the season at quarterback and fifth-year wideout Byron Ross, who provided the Lions on of the top deep threats in the league. With an extremely youthful defense, featuring as many as seven true freshmen on the field at one time, Southeastern displayed Lucas’ hard-nosed style of play in every game during the season. With a defense highlighted by a pair of youngsters, Connors and Newbill, the Lions finished near the top of the FCS national rankings in turnover margin. Under Lucas’ guidance as Southeastern entered the SLC in 2005 after spending the previous two years as an independent, the majority of the Lions’ defensive numbers improved across the board despite facing a much stiffer schedule including a full-conference

(Left) Eleven of Lucas’ defensive units finished in the top 15 in the national I-AA rankings. slate. As newcomers to the SLC, the Lions were no cubs, especially on defense where they were third overall, behind only conference co-champs Nicholls and Texas State, in total defense (349.5 YPG), were second in pass efficiency defense (115.7), third in rushing defense (146.3 YPG) and first in opponent first downs allowed (181). Following the season, defensive back Charles Hall signed a free agent contract with the Cleveland Browns pushing the total number of defensive NFL signees coached by Lucas to eight. Six Lion defenders earned all-Southland notice while Duriel Adams was also named all-Louisiana. Lucas also serves as the liaison to the Career and Academic Planning Center. The CAP Center assists with all advising and tutorial services provided for Southeastern student-athletes. After one year, the team G.P.A. had seen a considerable increase, doubling the number of football players attaining a 3.0. Although the hard work of the players, coaches and staff are critical, at least part of the Lions’ success in 2005 could be attributed to Lucas’ familiarity with the Southland. No stranger to the SLC, Lucas previously served as defensive coordinator and assistant head coach for veteran Ron Randleman at Sam Houston State for 15 years repeatedly producing defensive units that ranked among the best in NCAA Division I-AA football and the Southland Conference. During his time at SHSU, Lucas guided the Bearkat defense among the top 15 in national defensive statistical categories 11 times and led the Southland in defensive statistics five times. The defense set several school records in his tenure including marks for most quarterback sacks (52, 2001) and fewest points allowed (13.2 ppg, 1991). Under Lucas, the Bearkat defense turned out seven defensive players who signed National Football League contracts and two who were NFL draft choices. Lucas coached 41 defensive players who earned All-Southland honors a total of 65 times. Prior to joining the SHSU staff in 1987, Lucas previously served as defensive coordinator at Eastern New Mexico where his squad led the Lone Star Conference in total defense and scoring defense and ranked third nationally in punt returns. In 1984, he coached wide receivers at UTEP. From 1980 to 1983, he coached the secondary, defensive line and linebackers and assisted in the strength and conditioning program at Liberty University in Lynchburg, Va. He began his coaching career at the College of William and Mary in 1979 as a defensive student assistant. Lucas was a three-year letterman in football at Pemberton (N.J.) High School and also lettered in baseball and wrestling. He earned a Bachelor of Science degree from Liberty in 1982, majoring in physical education and psychology. He and his wife, Wendy, have two sons, Tyler (23), a former quarterback and 2009 graduate of Cornell University, and Torin (21), a junior catcher on the Southeastern baseball team.

An experienced recruiter and coach, Rudolph is entering his 16th season of coaching at the collegiate level with over half of his years spent in the state of Louisiana. Rudolph has been instrumental in the development of senior tackle Kevin Hughes and junior center Josh Penton, a pair of key veterans who are rated among the best in the Southland Conference. The son of a coach, Rudolph made an immediate impact on the senior members of the 2007 line as Earl Cager earned second-team All-Southland Conference honors and Johnny Flowers concluded his career with 32 consecutive starts at left tackle. Prior to his arrival in Hammond, Rudolph spent two seasons at Samford University in Birmingham, Ala. Rudolph was the offensive coordinator and offensive line coach for the Bulldogs and was responsible for recruiting the northwest Alabama and northern Mississippi areas. Prior to his time in Birmingham, he was the offensive line coach at East Mississippi Community College. In addition to his coaching duties at EMCC, Rudolph also served as the Director of the Campus Wellness Center. In 2002 and 2003, he served on the staff of then-Louisiana Monroe and current Southeastern offensive coordinator Tommy Condell at ULM. The offensive line coach for the Indians, Rudolph also recruited prospects in south Mississippi and south Alabama. Before joining Condell in Monroe, Rudolph spent two seasons at Mississippi College. In addition to his duties as offensive line coach, Rudolph also served as the team’s strength and conditioning coach, while recruiting central Mississippi and central Alabama. Rudolph also was the offensive coordinator and offensive line coach at Copiah-Lincoln Community College before his stint at Mississippi College. Rudolph got his start at Southeastern’s SLC rival Nicholls State, where he coached from 1995-98. In his first three seasons with the Colonels, he coached the tight ends and tackles, before switching duties to running backs and tight ends, as well as coordinating the special teams in his final two seasons. During his stay in Thibodaux, Rudolph’s recruiting area included south Mississippi, south Alabama,

Matt Webb Defensive Coordinator/LBs att Webb begins his sixth season at Southeastern Louisiana and his fourth as the Lions’ defensive coordinator. Webb, who serves as Southeastern’s recruiting coordinator, guided a unit in 2009 that produced two first-team All-Southland Conference selections - Mark Newbill and Re’Keem Wilson - and finished second in the rugged Southland Conference in pass efficiency defense. In the 2008 campaign, Webb molded a ballhawking unit that led the Southland Conference in turnover margin and pass efficiency and third in pass defense. Five players earned AllSouthland Conference honors, led by first-team defensive back Tommy Connors, who was also selected to three FCS All-America squads after finishing among the top tacklers in the league while pacing the conference with four interceptions. Under Webb’s tutelege, Connors and Newbill became the first tandem since football was re-instated to record 100 tackles in a season. Webb spent the 2005 season coaching the defensive line before taking over the linebacking corps the following season. After being promoted to defensive coordinator by head coach Mike Lucas, Webb inherited a defense that produced five all-conference picks in 2006, including Connors who was a second-team selection as a freshman. In 2005, Webb oversaw a Lions’ defensive front four that helped form the nucleus of one of the top defensive units in the Southland Conference. Under Webb’s guidance, his front line allowed only 146 yards rushing per game and ranked third in the SLC in that category. Following the season, two of his players, Rudy Johnson and Derrick Mincey earned all-conference notice while Steven Smith was an all-academic SLC pick. Webb has played a tremendous role in spearheading the recruiting efforts at Southeastern where his classes have been regarded by some publications as some of the best in Louisiana and in the Football Championship Subdivision (formally Division IAA).

Prior to coming to Southeastern, Webb served as linebackers coach (2000) and defensive line coach (2001-2004) at Southeast Missouri as well as recruiting coordinator. During his tenure, Webb was a part of a significant turnaround at SEMO, helping the team to its first eight-win season since 1967 and to the conference championship game a year later. From 1997-2000, Webb served as an assistant coach at Southwest Baptist University under Dennis Roland before reuniting in 2005 when Roland was named head coach at Southeastern.

HAMMOND – Behind career nights from senior quarterback Brian Babin and sophomore tight end Simmie Yarborough, as well as a stifling defensive effort, the Southeastern Louisiana football team opened the 2009 campaign with a dominant 41-7 win over visiting Texas A&MCommerce Saturday night in Strawberry Stadium. The Lions (1-0) won their home opener for the seventh consecutive season and held Texas A&M-Commerce to just six first downs and 198 total yards. The win was the program’s most lopsided victory in a season opener since a 35-0 win over Louisiana-Monroe (then Northeast Louisiana in 1956). Conversely, Southeastern was able to rack up 470 yards on offense and posted 28 first downs. Babin completed 37 of 55 passes for a careerhigh 379 yards and three touchdowns. His favorite target was Yarborough, who finished with 13 catches for 129 yards and two touchdowns – all career-highs. Senior Chris Wilson also caught a Babin pass for a score, while freshman Zeke Jones and senior Jasper Ducksworth each added rushing touchdowns. The Lions held A&M-Commerce to two first downs on the way to a 17-0 halftime lead that grew to 34-0 early in the fourth quarter. Junior linebacker Ryan Godare led Southeastern with eight tackles, a forced fumble and a fumble recovery.
HAMMOND – Southeastern Louisiana scored the game’s first 42 points and never looked back on the way to a 69-20 victory over Union College Thursday night in non-conference football action in Strawberry Stadium. The Lions (2-0) rolled to a 56-10 halftime lead – the most points in a half scored in school history – and opened the season with two victories for the first time since 2004. Union College, which came into the season ranked 10th nationally in NAIA, fell to 1-1 on the year. Combined with its 41-7 win over Texas A&M-Commerce last Saturday, Southeastern has scored 110 points on the year – the most-ever scored by the Lions in their first two games of the season. Pulling the majority of their starters midway through the second quarter, the Lions racked up 565 yards offensively and 27 first downs on the night. Union was held to 11 first downs and 247 total yards. Reigning Southland Conference and LSWA Player of the Week Brian Babin completed 16 of 19 passes for 286 yards and a career-high-tying five touchdowns in a little over a quarter of play. Jeff Turner connected on nine of 10 point-after attempts, becoming the school’s all-time leading scorer with 208 career points, besting the previous record of 204 points by Horace Belton. Simmie Yarborough (three catches for 95 yards) caught two touchdown passes for the second straight week and Babin also connected with Merrick Lanaux (5-72), Kory Theodore (3-79) and Cole Wardell (1-11) on scoring strikes. Tyler Beatty completed 8-for-11 for 96 yards in Babin’s relief. Beatty hit Greg Johnson for a 10-yard touchdown strike early in the third quarter. Zeke Jones led the Lions on the ground with 13 carries for 106 yards and two touchdowns. Sam Fairley added 19 carries for 71 yards and one score for the Lions.
OXFORD, Miss. – Jevan Snead threw for 209 yards and three touchdowns and fifth-ranked Ole Miss capitalized on three first-quarter turnovers by Southeastern to build a 24-0 halftime lead and record a 52-6 victory Saturday night at VaughtHemingway Stadium. Brandon Bolden rushed for 105 yards on 13 carries as a balanced Ole Miss offense recorded 500 total yards and reached the 40-point plateau for a school-record fourth consecutive game. Southeastern (2-1), which tallied 302 yards total offense, committed three first-quarter turnovers, including two inside the Ole Miss 10, which led to a pair of Rebel touchdowns. Ole Miss (2-0), which ran for 258 yards, scored on its opening drive as it drove 82 yards in nine plays with Enrique Davis capping the drive with a 2-yard touchdown run. After going three-and-out on its opening possession, Southeastern got an opportunity to score when Ole Miss’ Marshay Green muffed punt at the Rebel 20 and Robert Alford recovered. On the Lions’ first play, Brian Babin scrambled and connected with Merrick Lanaux with a pass to the Ole Miss 8, but Lawon Scott knocked the ball loose and recovered to stop the drive. The Lions committed another turnover on their next drive after an 11-yard punt by Justin Sparks gave Southeastern the football at the Ole Miss 47. Babin rushed for 12 yards and connected with Chris Wilson on a 4-yard pass to the Ole Miss 31, but on the following play, Babin was intercepted by Cassius Vaughn at the Ole Miss. A 57-yard pass from Babin to Andre Cryer on the opening possession of the second half moved the ball to the Ole Miss 17 and four plays later, Jeff Turner kicked a 28-yard field goal with 11:31 remaining in the third quarter to cut the lead to 24-3. Babin completed 17 of 26 passes for 188 yards for Southeastern with Simmie Yarborough catching a game-high nine passes.

VERMILLION, S.D. – Noah Shepard completed 21 of 29 passes for 259 yards and two touchdowns and South Dakota used a 16-point third quarter to pull away and defeat Southeastern Louisiana, 44-13, Saturday afternoon at the DakotaDome. Shepard added 101 yards rushing and a pair of 1-yard touchdowns as USD (3-1) improved to 30-2 at home under head coach Ed Meierkort. Southeastern fell to 2-2 on the season. USD, which led 14-13 at halftime, recovered an onside kick to open the second half and scored three players later when Shepard hit Ben Oberle with a 54-yard scoring pass for a 21-13 lead with 14:13 remaining. After Wayne Curry recovered a fumble by Southeastern’s Jasper Ducksworth at the SLU 19, the Coyotes found the end zone again in three plays as Chris Ganious scored on a 12yard run with 8:13 remaining. After stopping USD on three plays to open the game, Southeastern needed 11 plays to take the lead as Jeff Turner connected on a schoolrecord 52-yard field goal with 10:21 remaining in the first quarter. USD responded on its next drive as it drove 70 yards in 10 plays with Ganious capping the drive with a 3-yard touchdown run with 5:44 remaining. Shepard connected with Will Powell on a 14-yard TD strike with 12:16 left in the second quarter for a 14-3 lead. Turner added a 20-yard field goal for Southeastern with 8:04 left in the second quarter and Brian Babin connected with Simmie Yarborough on a 23-yard touchdown pass to cut the lead to 14-13 with 55 seconds left in the half. Babin finished 23-for-37 for 205 yards and a touchdown for Southeastern, which was held to 16 yards total offense in the second half. Merrick Lanaux caught a team-high six passes for 52 yards for Southeastern while Ducksworth added five receptions.
SAN MARCOS, Texas – In Southeastern Louisiana’s series against Texas State, the 13th time proved to be the charm. Jasper Ducksworth scored the go-ahead touchdown in overtime and the Lions posted their first-ever win over the Bobcats when Justin Garelick’s potential game-tying extra point bounced off the left upright in a wild 51-50 thriller Saturday afternoon at Jim Wacker Field at Bobcat Stadium. Southeastern (3-2, 1-0 SLC) scored three touchdowns and converted on three 2-point conversions in the final 9:06 of regulation as the Lions overcame a 24-point fourth-quarter deficit and snapped a two-game losing streak. Trailing 44-20 in the fourth quarter, Southeastern went on a 7-play, 72-yard drive as Brian Babin avoided the Texas State rush and found Merrick Lanaux for a 24-yard touchdown pass with 9:06 remaining in the game. The Lions went for two and Babin hit Andre Cryer to cut the Texas State lead to 44-28. Southeastern forced Texas State to punt on its ensuing possession and Stephen Moreaux came up the middle and blocked Ben Follis’ kick, and the Lions recovered at the Texas State 30. Four plays later, Babin connected with Simmie Yarborough on a 14-yard scoring pass and Babin hit Chris Wilson on the 2-point conversion to cut the lead to 44-36 with 4:51 left. After forcing another Bobcat punt, the Lions drove 66 yards in 10 plays. Southeastern maintained the drive on fourth-and-15 when Lanaux went up with two defenders on him and hauled in a 24-yard pass to the Texas State 1. Ducksworth scored on the next play with 34 seconds left and after a pass interference penalty by Texas State, the Lions converted their third 2-point conversion of the game when Yarborough took a pitch and scored around the left side to tie the game at 4444.
HAMMOND – The Southeastern Louisiana defense forced three first half turnovers and outgained Sam Houston State, 473-272, on the way to a 37-21 Homecoming victory and its first-ever 2-0 start to Southland Conference play in front of 6,902 fans Saturday night at Strawberry Stadium. The Lions (4-2, 2-0 SLC) fed off the energy of its emotional 51-50 comeback win at Texas State to put together their most impressive victory of the 2009 season and move into a first-place tie with Stephen F. Austin atop the Southland Conference standings. Sam Houston State fell to 3-3 overall and 1-1 in league play. After falling behind 7-0, Southeastern answered with 20 unanswered points to take a 20-7 halftime lead. Sam Houston State cut the lead to 20-14 midway through the third quarter, but the Lions responded with 17 consecutive points to take a 37-14 lead with 5:21 left in the game. Brian Babin completed 24 of 40 passes for 286 yards with three touchdowns and one interception. All three of his scoring strikes went to Simmie Yarborough, who hauled in eight passes for a career-high 151 yards and now has 10 touchdown receptions – the second-highest single-season total in school history. Merrick Lanaux was also a favorite target of Babin’s, catching six balls for 95 yards with seemingly every reception coming in a crucial situation. The Lions featured one of their most balanced attacks of the year, as they racked up 187 yards rushing to go with their 286 yards passing. Jasper Ducksworth carried 22 times for 92 yards, while Zeke Jones bulled ahead for 71 yards and a score on 11 carries.

LAKE CHARLES – Derrick Fourroux’s 5-yard touchdown pass to Richard Connor with 39.7 seconds remaining helped No. 11 McNeese State rally from an 11-point deficit and edge Southeastern Louisiana, 36-35, in a wild Southland Conference game Saturday night at Cowboy Stadium. Fourroux, who went 21-for-36 for 268 yards and a pair of touchdowns, added a 20-yard scoring run as McNeese State (5-2, 2-1 Southland) built a 24-7 lead with 1:44 remaining in the first half. Southeastern (4-3, 2-1 Southland), which hosts Central Arkansas next Saturday in a 2 p.m. contest, cut the lead to 24-14 at halftime on a Chris Wilson 4-yard touchdown pass from Brian Babin before a 21-point outburst in the third quarter gave the Lions a 35-24 lead. Babin, who went 23-for-37 for 250 yards, cut the lead to 24-21 on a 1-yard sneak with 12:58 remaining in the third quarter. Wesley Ladner then blocked a punt that Clint Coleman returned to the McNeese 1, and Zeke Jones scored on the following play to give Southeastern its first lead of the game at 28-24. After Ladner recovered a muffed punt return by Champlain Babin at the McNeese 33, the Lions needed six plays to reach the end zone as Babin connected with Wilson on a 3-yard pass with 4:28 left in the third quarter. The Lions had a chance to put the game away with a 35-30 lead in the fourth when Avery Crooks recovered another fumble by Champlain Babin at the SLU 39 and the Lions drove to the McNeese State 22. Jeff Turner missed a 38-yard field goal attempt with 3:18, and McNeese State had another opportunity to score.
HAMMOND – Chris Wilson pulled down a fourth quarter 16-yard touchdown grab that put the Lions on top for good and late interceptions by Re'Keem Wilson and Quinten Pierre preserved the victory, as Southeastern remained perfect at home with a 25-21 Southland Conference victory over No. 12/15 Central Arkansas on Hall of Fame Saturday at Strawberry Stadium. Playing without injured quarterback Brian Babin, as well as the team’s top two receivers in Simmie Yarborough and Merrick Lanaux, the Lions found a way to win, forcing three turnovers in the final nine minutes of the game. The win now puts the Lions (5-3, 3-1 SLC) in a four-way tie for first place in the Southland Conference with Texas State, which defeated previously unbeaten Stephen F. Austin 28-7 on Saturday, McNeese State and SFA. The Lions improved to 4-0 in Hammond on the year and matched their overall win total from a season ago. The three wins in Southland Conference play are the most league victories by the program since joining the Southland prior to the 2005 season. The win over the Bears (5-3, 22 SLC) was the Lions’ first over a ranked team since a 37-13 victory over McNeese State on Oct. 22, 2005. In his first career start, quarterback Tyler Beatty stepped in and completed 23 of 35 throws for 297 yards, three touchdowns and no interceptions, while also rushing 12 times for 48 yards. Beatty was aided by a career day from Chris Wilson, who caught six passes for a career-high 169 yards and two scores. Kory Theodore also notched a career-high with seven receptions for 74 yards and a score.
NATCHITOCHES – The last time Southeastern Louisiana posted a win at Northwestern State, Jimmy Carter was just elected President. The last time the Lions pitched a shutout, Ronald Reagan was preparing for a landslide re-election victory. Southeastern Louisiana scored a pair of touchdowns in the final 30 seconds of the first half and the Lions posted their first shutout since 1984 as it defeated in-state rival Northwestern State, 27-0, in a Southland Conference game Saturday afternoon at Turpin Stadium. Southeastern, which clinched its first winning season since a 7-4 record in 2004, improved to 63 overall and 4-1 in the Southland Conference. Brian Babin returned to the Southeastern lineup after missing last week’s game against Central Arkansas with an injury, tossing three first-half touchdowns and throwing for 200 yards. Merrick Lanaux and Simmie Yarborough also returned to the lineup for Southeastern, as the Lions built a 24-0 halftime lead and posted their first win in Natchitoches since a 34-27 win in 1976. Posting its first shutout since a 28-0 win against Western Kentucky – a span of 95 games - Southeastern held Northwestern State (0-9, 0-5 Southland) to 261 yards total offense and forced two turnovers. Southeastern got its first turnover late in the second quarter when Re’Keem Wilson intercepted a Paul Harris pass at the SLU 28. Four plays later, Babin eluded the Demon pass rush and found Kory Theodore for a 48-yard touchdown pass that gave Southeastern a 17-0 lead with 30 seconds remaining. On the ensuing kickoff, Southeastern’s Kendrick Jackson forced a fumble that was recovered by Ryan Godare at the Northwestern 21. Two plays later, Babin connected with Jasper Ducksworth on a screen pass and the senior weaved his way into the end zone from 10 yards out with five seconds left for a 24-0 lead.

No. 15 Stephen F. Austin 41 Southeastern Louisiana 10 Nov. 14, 2009 - Hammond, La.
Nicholls State 45 Southeastern Louisiana 30 Nov. 18, 2009 - Hammond, La.
HAMMOND – In a battle of two of the Southland Conference’s co-leaders, Southeastern Louisiana fell behind, 28-0, in the first half and could never recover on the way to a 41-10 loss to No. 15 Stephen F. Austin Saturday afternoon at Strawberry Stadium. The Lions (6-4, 4-2 SLC) had a chance to remain atop the Southland Conference standings, but the ‘Jacks overwhelmed them from the start and handed Southeastern its first home loss. Stephen F. Austin improved to 8-2 overall and 5-1 in league action, outgaining Southeastern, 512-199. SFA’s Jeremy Moses threw for 318 yards and four touchdowns, completing 36 of 56 of his attempts. The Lumberjacks also added 191 yards on the ground, as Vincent Pervis (14-76), Tyrone Ross (8-61) and Romonte’ Hampton (13-42) were each effective running options for SFA. Stephen F. Austin limited the Lions offensively, as Tyler Beatty was ineffective in his second start of the year, finishing 5-of-19 for 28 yards and an interception. Brian Babin, who has been battling shoulder soreness for the past month, completed 15 of 28 passes for 141 yards. Greg Johnson led Southeastern with five catches, while Andre Cryer had a team-high 56 receiving yards and Simmie Yarborough caught his team-high 12th touchdown of the season. The Lion defense was paced by the efforts of Mark Newbill, who had a game-high 17 tackles. Quinten Pierre (15 tackles), Robert Alford (12 tackles) and Curtis Strong (11 tackles) gave Southeastern a quartet with double-digit stops.
HAMMOND – Playing in his final collegiate game, Southeastern Louisiana quarterback Brian Babin threw for a career-high 382 yards, but Nicholls State countered with 322 rushing yards and the Colonels kept the River Bell in Thibodaux with a 45-30 win in the regular season finale for both teams Thursday night at Strawberry Stadium. Despite the loss, the Lions (6-5, 4-3 SLC) posted a winning season for the first time since 2004 and recorded its best Southland Conference mark since joining the league prior to the 2005 season. Nicholls finished its season with its second straight victory, moving to 3-8 overall and 2-5 in league action. Babin – one of 11 seniors on the Southeastern roster – completed 27 of 46 passes with three touchdowns and two interceptions. Two of his scoring throws found Andre Cryer, who finished with six catches for 90 yards. Chris Wilson had a game-high 99 yards on five catches for the Lions. Babin closed out his career second in school history in nearly every passing category. The St. Amant native completed 670 of his 1083 passes for 7,405 yards and 62 touchdowns. His season totals of 354 pass attempts (fifth), 220 pass completions (fifth), 2,602 passing yards (fifth) and 25 touchdowns (third) all rank among the school’s best single-season performances. Wilson and fellow senior Merrick Lanaux, who caught four passes for 23 yards, both finished among the school’s top receivers in terms of career numbers. Jeff Turner scored five points to finish as the school’s all-time leading scorer with 265 total points scored.

E.L. “Ned” McGehee
Football History
1930 Recorded history of football begins at Southeastern with R. Norval Garrett as the first head coach. The Lions play five games and compile a 2-3 record with wins over Amite and Independence High Schools. Southeastern, then known as Southeastern Louisiana College, shuts out Amite, 7-0, for its first victory. 1933 Southeastern puts together its first winning season with a 7-3 record under head coach A.L. “Red” Swanson. Swanson takes over the program following the opening season and leads the Lions for seven seasons (193137).
1936 Under Swanson, the Lions put together its first unbeaten season with an 8-0-1 record. The only blemish on the record is a scoreless tie against Pearl River Junior College. In that season, Southeastern outscores its opponents, 182-19, including six shutouts in eight games. 1938 Lloyd Stovall takes over the reins of the Southeastern program and serves in that capacity for three seasons compiling a 14-133 record. 1946 After going through two coaches in two years during the 1941-42 campaigns and a threeyear hiatus from football due to the advent of World War II, E.L. “Ned” McGehee takes over the program and promptly leads Southeastern to a perfect 9-0 season. Behind the play on the line of Southeastern AllAmerican T.J. Campion along with AllLouisiana Intercollegiate Conference selections Pat Kenelly, John Mitchell, Angie Antonelli, Jerome Davis and Al Ramboli, the Lions grab their first Louisiana Intercollegiate Conference Championship. The title begins a string of successes for the Lions that includes seven conference championships over the next 15 years. Following the unbelievable regular-season, the Lions take part in the annual Burley Bowl, winning 21-13 over Milligan College in Johnson City, Tenn. It remains the only Bowl Game ever played by a Southeastern football team.
1951 Following the perfect season in 1946, Southeastern goes through a bit of a lull over the next four campaigns mustering a winning record -- 6-4 in 1950 including a win at Auburn -- on only one occasion. In 1951, the most well-known coach in Lions’ football history takes over, and Stanley Galloway guides the team to more success than it had ever known. Galloway, who was a member of Southeastern’s 8-0-1 squad of 1936, roams the sidelines from 1951-64. In his extended stay as head football coach at Southeastern, the Lions finish as Gulf States Conference champions or co-champions (1952, 53, 54, 56, 60, 61) on six different occasions. Galloway compiles an 84-42-4 record and is 50-20-3 in the tough GSC. His success doesn't go unnoticed by his peers, as he was named the GSC's Coach of the Year four times and is the only Southeastern coach to be enshrined in the Louisiana Sports Hall of Fame. As a player in the late 1930's, Galloway was a leader on the gridiron for Southeastern and was named to the University's Athletics Hall of Fame for 1939. He starred for the Lions from 1935-39. Galloway puts together a winning record in his first season going 7-3 and builds the foundation for the success to come. 1952 Galloway leads Lions to the first of six GSC Championships in 10 years at the helm as the team goes 6-1-2 with the only loss coming to Mississippi Southern, 20-12.

scored would be a school record for the next half century until the 2004 squad scored 425.
Stanley Galloway
1953 The Lions win the GSC championship for the second consecutive season with a 6-3 mark and set the table for what would rival the 1946 team as the most successful in Southeastern history. 1954 Fielding an improbable bunch of players, Galloway and All-American quarterback Ray “Coon” Porta lead the Lions to their second perfect season -- 9-0 -- and arguably the finest in Southeastern history. During that miraculous season, the Lions shutout their opponents in five of nine games and allowed only one opponent, Louisiana Tech, into double figures. Overall, Southeastern tallied 379 points while allowing opponents just 43. The team surrendered just one touchdown through its first six games and the 379 points
1955 Despite an off season for the Lions with a 55 record, in their 10 games the Lions set school records for both a winning streak and losing streak in the same year. Dating back to the 1954 season and including the four wins to open the ‘55 campaign, the Lions win 13 straight contests. But from that point in the season, the Lions suffer significant injuries including losing starting quarterback Win Crawford and center Mack Barlow for the season. Southeastern finishes third in the GSC standings that year but also produces its third All-American in sure-handed wideout Huey Husser. Husser is named to the NAIA All-America squad and years later becomes a member of Southeastern’s Athletics Hall of Fame. 1956 Southeastern goes 6-3 en route to winning its third GSC title in four years. The Lions open the season with three straight shutouts but struggle during the meat of the season before winning their final two games -- over McNeese and Northwestern State -- to claim the crown. 1957-58 Southeastern has two losing seasons -- the only ones under Galloway -- going 2-6-1 in 1957 and 4-5 in 1958. C.J. Alexander is named All-American in 1958. 1959 The Lions begin the return to prominence going 5-4 including wins over Southwestern
Ray Porta
Louisiana, Northeast Louisiana and Northwestern State. Alexander is again named All-America and becomes the second two-time selection in Southeastern football history and was also named the GSC’s Most Valuable Player. Oscar Lofton, who would later serve as Lions’ head coach from 198085, along with Alexander, both sign professional contracts following the season. Lofton, who is voted the 1959 team captain, becomes a member of the Boston Patriots while Alexander, nicknamed “The Black Knight”, becomes a halfback with the Edmonton Eskimos in Canada.

Lions’ chances at perfection. Ranked in the top 10 of both the AP and UPI polls, the Lions reach as high as third in each and claim their sixth and final championship under Galloway. All-American halfback Billy Ladner is voted the top back in the GSC and breaks the single-season scoring record with 66 points. “Mr. Everywhere” Elbert Harris is drafted by both leagues and signs a professional contract with the Dallas Cowboys. Bill Johnson also is drafted and signs with the Buffalo Bills of the American Football League.

1960 Mediocrity would never do for Galloway and the Lions are back on top of the GSC following the 1960 season. Southeastern rolls to its fifth title under the legendary coach going 9-1 with the only loss coming against Louisiana Tech as the Bulldogs win 17-14 to take away the third perfect season in Lions’ history. In the run, Southeastern records five shutouts and pulls off four major upsets. The team reaches as high as second in one poll and finishes fourth in the NAIA rankings. The Lions are awarded a bid to play in the Tangerine Bowl but the players decline the offer. Quarterback Elbert Harris is named a NAIA First Team All-American. 1961 Southeastern again nearly pulls off the perfect season but a loss to McNeese State in the second to last game of the year ends the
1962-64 The final three years of Galloway’s tenure as head coach are predictably solid as the team compiles a 16-10-1 record, but none of the remaining campaigns match the previous successes the Lions experience. In the span Southeastern garners 10 All-Conference selections. In 1964, Galloway’s final season, the Lions are 6-3 and close out the year with two straight wins. In 1964, Ellis Johnson is drafted in the third round by the Boston Patriots and is Southeastern’s highest selection at that time. 1965-75 It is a time of struggle for Southeastern football which manages only two winning seasons among 11 tries. Legendary baseball coach and former football All-American Pat Kenelly guides the team from 1965-71 and manages just one winning campaign - 5-4 in 1965 - but puts together some memorable moments. In 1966 Southeastern great Billy Andrews wraps up his career and is drafted in the 11th round by the Cleveland Browns. In 1967 the Lions struggle to a 4-5 record, but take down two future NFL Hall of Famers and Super Bowl quarterbacks as they knock off
Roger Staubach’s Pensacola Navy squad and down Terry Bradshaw’s Louisiana Tech team in back-to-back weeks. Following an 011 season in 1971, Roland Dale is brought in as the new gridiron guru and holds the position for two seasons compiling a 7-14 record in the span. It was under Dale in 1970 that the Lions produce their first All-American since 1961 as linebacker Ronnie Hornsby blossomed as a senior. Hornsby is a first team Kodak and Associated Press All-American and following his final campaign is named permanent team captain and became the first person in Southeastern history to have his jersey - No. 35 -retired. He caps his stellar career by playing in the Senior Bowl where he serves as defensive co-captain and scores the South’s only touchdown on an interception return. It is also in 1970 that halfback Ted Glaser becomes the first Lion to surpass 1,000 rushing yards with 1,038 on 162 carries. In 1973 and 74, guard Alan Klein becomes the second of only three, two-time All-America selections for Southeastern. Billy Brewer takes over the program from Dale for the 1974 season and continues Southeastern on the road to championship caliber football with a 6-4 record his first season. 1976 Following a sub-.500 season in 1975 (4-7), Brewer guides the Lions to their finest campaign since the 1961 season with a 9-1-1 mark behind the play of running back Horace Belton. Belton, who plays little in the last six games of his senior campaign due to injury, finishes his brilliant career as the state of Louisiana’s all-time leading rusher with 3,222 yards. Belton breaks a record which had stood for nearly 30 years and was set by Tulane’s Eddie Price (3,095) as he led the

Green Wave from 1946-49. Belton breaks the record with 163 yards and two scores in an upset win over eventual conference champion Troy State. Belton, who is ranked second in school history and 13th in the state in career rushing, scores 202 points in his career which remains a Southeastern standard. He also set and still holds Southeastern records for single-season yardage (1,168, 1975), rushing TDs (14, 1974) and points scored in a single-season with 90 (1974). Following his final campaign, Belton’s jersey No. 37 - becomes the second Lion football jersey, along with Ronnie Hornsby’s, to be retired. 1977-79 Brewer coaches the Lions for three more seasons compiling winning records in each. Following a 6-4 mark in 1977, the Lions pro-
duce a 7-3-1 record the following year and field one of the top defensive units in the nation. The Southeastern defense ranks first nationally in scoring defense (7.8 ppg.) and sets four new Gulf South Conference records. The Lions finish the season as the Division II leader in scoring defense allowing just 78 points. The team is second in total defense, fifth in rushing defense and 10th in pass defense, the only school in the nation to be listed in all four categories. En route to a second place finish in the conference, the Lions set four new GSC records: points allowed, scoring defense average, fewest rushing yards allowed and defensive rushing average. Following the season, Donald Dykes is drafted in the second round by the Jets while Calvin Favron goes in the third round to St. Louis. In 1979, near-misses erase the promise of what could be another unbelievable season in the Lion annals. In Brewer’s final season (he would take over the head coaching job at Louisiana Tech and would later coach at Ole Miss), Southeastern starts slowly out of the gate with a 1-4 record. Following that point, the Lions re-dedicate themselves and as a symbol of this dedication, members of the team shave their heads. Suddenly bald heads begin showing up all over campus and the team goes on to win five of its last six games to finish at 6-5. 1980 Oscar Lofton, a former Lion All-Conference selection, three-sport letterwinner and professional player, takes over the program from Brewer and posts an 8-2 record in his first campaign. It is a successful jump for Southeastern which made the move to Division I-AA for the 1980 season. The Lions
Billy Brewer open the year with a win at Boise State. Homecoming week is special as Southeastern roars to a 47-6 win over TexasSouthern and ties a national record as three Lions -- Mack Boatner, Kendall Denmark, and Charlie Thomas -- each rush for over 100 yards. Five different players score touchdowns in the game for the Lions. In a 59-13 victory over Delta State, Boatner sets a new single-game school-record as he gallops for 275 yards in the Lions’ home finale. 1981 Lofton is named the Louisiana Coach of the Year after leading his squad to an 8-3 record. The Lions open the season with wins over Texas Southern and Southwestern Louisiana (now called Louisiana-Lafayette), before losing two of their next three games. After escaping with close wins over Troy State and Tennessee-Martin, the Lions stage one of the most dramatic comebacks in school history

with a 50-47 win over in-state rival Northeast Louisiana. In that game, played at Strawberry Stadium, the Lions trail 40-21 with 11:34 remaining in the game before rallying behind the arm of quarterback Robbie Mahfouz. Mahfouz, who set single-season passing records with 1,707 yards and 12 touchdown passes, throws touchdown passes of 28 and 17 yards to David Patterson and hits Todd Jones from 29 yards in a 29-point fourth quarter. Mack Boatner, who rushes for 114 yards with Jerry Butler adding 106 on the ground, scores the game-winning touchdown on a 1-yard plunge with 1:32 left. Mahfouz finishes the game completing 16 of 28 passes for 298 yards and five touchdowns. Boatner is drafted in the ninth round of the NFL Draft by the Miami Dolphins. 1982 After a solid 2-0 start which saw Southeastern ranked in the opening Division I-AA polls, consecutive losses to Stephen F. Austin and Southwest Texas starts a rollercoaster ride for the remainder of the season. Southeastern manages to string together two more wins but a team made up mostly of underclassmen, drops their last five games to finish with a 4-7 record. 1983 Southeastern’s last winning season starts 0-2 out of the gate but rights the ship to win five straight during the middle of the season to finish with a 6-4 record. Punter Bret Wright is named a first team Kodak All-American and a second team Associated Press All-American and still holds the state record for punting average in a single game going for a 53.6 average in a 54-28 win over Central Florida. He is also listed third in the state records with
a career average of 42.2 per punt. The Lions upset nationally-ranked Jackson State, 9-7, after narrowly missing an upset against Northeast Louisiana the week before, losing 16-13. Wright is selected in the eighth round of the NFL Draft by the New York Jets. 1984 In its first season of membership in the Gulf Star Conference, Southeastern manages only a 2-8-1 record as turnovers plague the team. The record can’t, however, overshadow the individual performance of running back Jerry Butler who become just the third Lion to rush for over 1,000 yards in a single season with 1,092. He also eclipses Horace Belton’s career yardage mark compiling 3,232, a mere 10 yards more than Belton. Also that year, noseguard Willie Shepherd earns Associated Press Second Team AllAmerica notice. 1985 Southeastern’s final year of football prior to the program being discontinued. The Lions struggle to a 2-9 mark. As a highlight, the Lions manage to win their first-ever Gulf Star Conference game with a 20-14 victory over Northwestern State in the second to last game of the year. In what was to become the Lion’s final game for the next 18 years, Kervin Fontenette returns an interception 100 yards for a touchdown to give Southeastern the lead but Nicholls State roars back in the final minutes to steal a 2117 win. Willie Shepherd earns All-America status for the second year, and is named to the Kodak All-America First Team and also garners honorable mention AP honors along with defensive back Tim Whaley.

Involved in the plan to raise $5 million, is the re-instatement of a football program at Southeastern. 2002 Southeastern President, Randy Moffett, who served as provost under Clausen, and athletics director Frank Pergolizzi announce on May 21 the success of the campaign and that the Lions will resume playing football as a IAA Independent for the 2003 season after a hiatus of nearly 18 years. 2003 Lion football restarts at Southeastern with Hal Mumme, formally at Kentucky, as the head coach. Mumme names Woody Widenhofer, one of the architects of the Pittsburgh Steelers’ Steel Curtain defense in the 1970s, as defensive coordinator. The team finishes with a 5-7 record: the sixth-best record among start-up Division I programs since 1980. Forty-six school and/or national records are broken with freshman quarterback Martin Hankins setting 21 new standards. Before a packed house on a rainy night, Southeastern opens its first season in 18 years rallying to defeat ArkansasMonticello, 22-17, as Hankins hits Choni Francis with a 22-yard scoring pass with 6:49 remaining in the game. Brett Beard, who finishes his career at Southeastern after playing three years at Vanderbilt under Widenhofer, is selected to play in the Hula Bowl.
Martin Hankins

Southeastern closes out the season with a 17-13 win over archrival Nicholls State, defeating the Colonels for the first time since 1980 and claiming the River Bell in the process. 2008 The Lions finish 5-7 overall - their best record since 2004. Junior defensive back Tommy Connors is named All-America by both the Associated Press the Sports Network AllAmerica. Southeastern places 10 players on the All-Southland Conference team with Simmie Yarborough selected as the league’s Freshman of the Year. Head coach Mike Lucas is forced on Oct. 15 to miss the final six games of the season for a heart valve procedure and offensive coordinator Tommy Condell is named acting head coach. The Lions defeat Northwestern State, 26-21, in Condell’s first game as acting coach and rallies for a 30-27 overtime win at Sam Houston State - its first SLC road win since 2005. 2009 Southeastern posts a 6-5 record, marking its first winning season since 2004. The Lions turn in their best performance in Southland Conference play, finishing 4-3 overall and competing for the league championship until the final two weeks of the season. Southeastern rallies from a 24-point, fourthquarter deficit to force overtime and defeat Texas State, 51-50. The Lions open league play with a 4-1 record with their lone blemish a 36-35 last second setback at McNeese State. Southeastern posts a 27-0 victory at Northwestern State - the Lions’ first win in Natchitoches since 1976 and their first shutout since a 28-0 win over Western Kentucky in 1984. Playing without quarterback Brian Babin and receiver Simmie Yarborough, Southeastern rallies behind backup quarterback Tyler Beatty and edges No. 12 Central Arkansas, 25-21.

Southeastern Traditions
The Real
Roomie
The Spirit of the Southland The “Spirit of the Southland” Marching Band made its return to Strawberry Stadium in the fall semester of 2004. Playing high energy arrangements and performing innovative drill designs, the band has established itself as the center of spirit and pride at all Lion home games and game day events. The band features a traditional and spirited pre-game show that is now a tradition at Southeastern. The staff at Southeastern combines university, drum corps, and secondary school teaching experience and is able to offer every student, regardless of experience, an opportunity to grow and learn in a relaxing musical environment. Many of our staff members work closely with local and regional high schools during their summer camps and are in demand throughout the Southeast as clinicians.
The Victory Bell The Victory Bell rings out after each Green and Gold score - touchdown, field goal, extra point or safety - to announce that Southeastern is on the board. The locomotive bell, which is painted gold and mounted on a green trailer, was given to the University by Bill Witbeck, a local railroad buff, in 1958. Prior to 1985, it was manned at each home game by the Southeastern cheerleaders and has been manned by members of the Lion athletic staff since football was re-instated.
Hollis “Roomie” Wilson, for whom the Southeastern Lions mascot is named, played football at Southeastern from 1935 to 1938. He was known as the 60-minute iron man as he was a standout among the many players who, during that time, played on both sides of the ball. Following his football career he joined the faculty at Southeastern as a biology professor and was also a wellknown and highly-respected football official following his playing days and continued to be an ardent supporter of Southeastern Athletics.
Origin of “Roomie” The name of Southeastern’s mascot believe it or not - was initially Lobo and was selected by a panel of judges in 1964. As you can imagine, the name Lobo (spanish for wolf) failed to gain popularity and shortly thereafter was changed. The SLU mascot was renamed to honor a noted figure in the sports world, Hollis “Roomie” Wilson, a former Southeastern athlete and faculty member, well known throughout the nation as one of the top football officials.

1946 Perfect Season
Returning to the gridiron for the first time since World War II, the 1946 team turned in Southeastern’s first perfect season recording a 90 record and the school’s first of seven conference championships. Under the direction of head coach and administrator E.L. “Ned” McGehee (left), the team rolled to a perfect season which included five shut out victories, road wins at Louisiana Tech and Mississippi Southern (now Southern Miss), and one of the largest margins of victory in Lions’ history with a 61-6 win over the Merchant Marines. After its win over Mississippi Southern, the Lions earned a berth in the Burley Bowl in Johnson City, Tenn., where they posted a 21-13 victory over Milligan (Tenn.) College. Five players, including Southeastern Hall of Fame inductees Pat Kenelly (right), Jerome Davis and Angie Antonelli, earn All-Louisiana Intercollegiate Conference honors while T.J. Campion earns All-America honors for the second time.

First Game Back - Aug. 30, 2003
ittingly, Southeastern Louisiana began its first football game the way it ended its last football game some 18 years ago ... in the rain. The Lions, who were playing their first game since 1985, had to overcome a 24minute lightning delay and a sluggish start, but in the end, the Lion faithful were not disappointed. Martin Hankins' 22-yard touchdown pass to Choni Francis with 6:29 remaining lifted the Lions to a 22-17 victory over Arkansas-Monticello in front of an overflow crowd of 9,708 at Strawberry Stadium. Southeastern played its first game since November 23, 1985, a 20-14, rainsoaked loss to Nicholls State. Eight weeks after that game, the program was disbanded for what would be 17 seasons due to budget constraints. But after a $5 million fund raising drive and the hiring of two former Southeastern Conference head coaches in Lion head coach Hal Mumme and defensive coordinator Woody Widenhofer, the Lion faithful counted down the days until this night would come. Trailing 17-16 with just under seven minutes remaining, the Lions caught a break when a low snap from center on a Boll Weevil punt attempt was recovered by Brad Bennett at the UAM 22. Hankins, a true freshman who was 29of-47 for 213 yards with no interceptions, took advantage of the Boll Weevil miscue on the first offensive play, finding Francis in the right corner of the end zone. The Boll Weevils had a chance to win the game as it reached the SLU 35 with just over two minutes remaining, but Cory Allred was sacked and forced to fumble by Derrick Mincey. Allred picked up the ball, but he was called for intentional grounding at his own 35, allowing the Lions to take over and run out the clock. Josh Taylor led the Lions with 10 receptions for 97 yards, as 11 different receivers caught passes in Mumme's pass-oriented offense. Allred started at quarterback and was 16-of-31 for 250 yards, but he missed the third quarter with an injury. UAM of Division II took a 17-16 lead with 8:45 remaining on a 15-yard touchdown pass from Allred to Devon Stewart.

The Boll Weevils took over at the SLU 45 when Hankins fumbled the exchange from center and Daniel Morris recovered. After watching its offense fail to get into the end zone after twice getting inside the UAM 15 in the second quarter, Southeastern used its defense to score its first touchdown. Free safety Vernon Russell picked off reserve quarterback Brian Pope over the middle and raced to the left corner of the end zone to put the Lions ahead 16-10 with 7:41 remaining in the third quarter. It
was also fittingly that Vernon's touchdown was similar to the final touchdown scored by the Lions in 1985 when Kervin Fontenette picked off a Doug Hudson pass and sprinted 100 yards for a score. Mincey led the Lions' defense with nine tackles and three sacks, while Birk McGee tied Mincey for a team high with nine stops.

eparated by the Mississippi River and a mere 94 miles apart, no two football-playing schools in the Southland Conference are as close as Southeastern and Nicholls State. And the annual game played between the rivals is for the Riverbell. The rivalry game, which began in 1972 and was conceived by the Phi Chapter Alumni Association of Sigma Tau Gamma fraternity at Southeastern, presents to the winner a trophy bearing the riverbell and detailing the yearly victors. The series, which was played yearly until 1985 when Southeastern dropped the program, was resumed 20 years later with the trophy making its return to Strawberry Stadium. After a pair of Colonel victories in the renewal of the series that started in 2005, Southeastern claimed the trophy for the first time since 1980 with a 1713 victory in the 2007 season-finale.
