Credentials
Credentials for Southeastern home games are issued for working media only and should be requested as early as possible due to space limitations. All members of the media must request credentials in writing through Damon Sunde, Associate Sports Information Director. Requests are honored from sports editors of daily newspapers and sports directors of television and radio stations. Requests from individuals not employed by a media outlet will not be considered. **Spouses, dates, non-workers and anyone under 18 years of age are not permitted in the working press area.
Entrance
The Strawberry Stadium media entrance is located on the fourth floor of the Parking Garage connecting to the stadium. Media members can enter via the elevators or the stairwells located on the south end of the parking deck. Field level access as well is available from these locations. Media Will Call, located at the Ticket Window of the Dugas Center for Southeastern Athletics, will open 90 minutes prior to kickoff.
Parking
Media parking is located at the top of the Parking Garage (4th floor) on the west side of Strawberry Stadium. Due to space limitations, requests for parking should be made with the credential request.

Defending Southland Conference Champions
2014 Outlook
Lions Look To Bulid on 2013 Southland Championship Campaign Heading into last season, the Lion football program was on the upswing after its first season under head coach Ron Roberts that saw SLU finish with a 5-2 Southland Conference record – at the time it’s best-ever finish since joining the league prior to the 2005 season. Facing high expectations, the 2013 Lions exceeded all prognostications. Southeastern ripped off a 10-game winning streak on the way to an 11-3 record and a 7-0 finish in conference play, winning the program’s first conference title since 1961. The conference title garnered the Lions the No. 4 seed in their first-ever berth in the NCAA Football Championship Subdivision (FCS) playoffs. After receiving a first-round bye, junior quarterback Bryan Bennett led SLU on “The Drive to Stay Alive” – a six-play, 85-yard game-winning drive in the final minute - to defeat two-time defending national runnerup and league rival Sam Houston State, 30-29, to advance to the FCS quarterfinals. Though the Lions fell to New Hampshire, 20-17, to end their storybook season, it was clear that Southeastern would be a player at the national level for the foreseeable future.
8 | www.LionSports.net
Southeastern heads into the 2014 season looking once again trying to exceed lofty goals. Not only are the Lions overwhelming favorites to repeat as Southland champions according to the league’s coaches’ and SID’s preseason polls, but several national publications consider Southeastern a legitimate national title contender. Lindy’s picked Southeastern No. 2 in the preseason predictions, while both The Sporting News and Athlon Sports have tabbed SLU No. 3. Roberts, the reigning Southland Conference, Louisiana and AFCA Region 5 Coach of the Year, believes his team is ready for the challenge. “Our goal every year is to win the conference championship and compete for the national championship,” Roberts commented. “We have accumulated the talent to do that and our job now is to remain focused and continue to improve every week. We’re more experienced this season and we have more guys who understand the expectations and what’s necessary to compete for a championship. I truly believe this is the strongest football team I’ve been associated with.”
Roberts has plenty of reasons to be optimistic. Bennett, the reigning Southland Conference Player, Louisiana Offensive Player and Louisiana Newcomer of the Year, leads a balanced, high-powered offense. An influx of new talent gives Southeastern a talent-rich, deep defensive corps, while the nation’s most explosive kick returner highlights the special team group. In Bennett’s first season with the Lions, the Oregon transfer threw for 3,165 yards and 21 touchdowns, while also rushing for a team-high 1,046 yards and a single-season school record 16 touchdowns. Including Bennett, Southeastern returns its top 10 rushers from last season. The junior running back trio of Rasheed Harrell (640 yards, eight rushing touchdowns in 2013), Kody Sutton (391-6 TD) and Darrius Guy (224-2 TD) team with Bennett to provide Southeastern with a potent veteran ground game. Jeff Smiley, who led the team with 57 catches for 744 yards to go with six receiving touchdowns in 2014, is the top returning receiver for SLU. Seniors Isaiah Kepley and Devante Scott are poised for breakout years. The receiving corps will be buoyed by the addition of Xavier Roberson, who makes the move to slot receiver after two dynamic seasons at running back.
Together We Stand On the offensive line, SLU returns starters Joe Graves, D.J. Williams and Jonathan Braddock. Southern Mississippi transfer Aaron Reed heads into fall camp with the inside track to replacing three-time All-Southland performer Gasten Gabriel at left tackle, while the offensive line corps will be bolstered by Josue Miranda, who missed the majority of 2013 with an injury. Southeastern returns six starters from a defense that led the Southland Conference in scoring and total defense in 2013. The deepest position on either side of the ball for SLU is the secondary. All-Southland Conference performers Harlan Miller, Tyler Stoddard and Marice Sutton all return. The back end will be bolstered by an influx of new talent including transfers Micah Eugene (LSU), Jordan Batiste (Tulane), JQ Sandolph (LSU), Derrick Raymond (LSU) and Dequan Reddick (New Mexico Military Institute). All three starters in the linebacker corps are members of the preseason All-Southland Conference teams. Senior Isiah Corbett led the team in tackles for loss, while Drew Misita is the team’s top returning tackler. Kaleb Muse bolsters the group after missing the majority of 2013 with an injury. In its first season leading the Southeastern offense, senior quarterback Bryan Bennett was named the Southland Conference Player and Louisiana Offensive Player of the Year.
Preseason first team All-Southland Conference defensive end Jacob Newman, who shared the team lead with Corbett with seven sacks in 2013, highlights the defensive line group. Marquel Combs, who transferred in from Kansas midway through last season, and A.J. Bowen are both poised for breakout seasons. The star of the Southeastern special teams is Roberson, who was a consensus All-American and named CFPA Kick Returner of the Year. The Atlanta native led the nation with 35.2 yards per kickoff return and three kickoff return touchdowns as a sophomore – both single-season Southland Conference records. Scott is expected to step up as the team’s punt returner. In his only punt return of 2014, he broke off a 41-yard return in the FCS quarterfinals versus New Hampshire. Southeastern will be breaking in a new place-kicker in place of 2013 starter Seth Sebastian, a consensus All-American and the school’s career leading scorer. Ryan Adams, who handled kickoffs each of the last two seasons, will step up to replace Sebastian. Southeastern will also have a new punter, after All-Southland Conference selection Matt McCormick completed his eligibility in 2013. Junior Tim Callian is the favorite to take over the punting duties come the fall.
Southland Conference Preseason Polls Harlan Miller comes back for his junior season after leading the team with four interceptions and 10 pass breakups, earning All-Southland and All-Louisiana honors.

Defending Southland Conference Champions Quarterbacks
With senior Bryan Bennett entrenched as the starter, the Lion offense has a proven leader for the 2014 season. But in addition to the Walter Payton Award candidate, SLU features its deepest group of signal callers in years and thanks to Roberts and his staff’s accumulation of talent, Hammond, America will feature dynamic signal callers for years to come.
Looking further into the future, freshman Kiley Huddleston brings a winning pedigree to the SLU roster. As a junior, he played on broken leg in the Class 5A championship game, leading Katy High School to its seventh state championship. As a senior, he helped KHS to a 15-1 record, throwing 10 touchdowns versus just one interception.
Bennett’s 2013 season was arguably the greatest all-around season by a Southeastern quarterback in program history. Named first team All-America by College Sports Journal, Bennett was named the Southland Conference Player, Louisiana Offensive Player and Louisiana Newcomer of the Year after throwing for 3,165 yards and 21 touchdowns, while also rushing for 1,046 yards and a single-season school record 16 touchdowns. Head coach Ron Roberts believes that Bennett, who finished eighth in the voting for the Payton Award – the FCS’ version of the Heisman – has a chance to be even better in 2014.
Running Backs
“Bryan had a tremendous spring,” Roberts said. “He’s much better and more comfortable in the pocket than he was this time last year. He’s obviously always going to be a great threat for us running the ball, but we’ve seen him be more patient. He’s bigger, faster and stronger than he was a year ago and we expect him to have another tremendous season.” Bennett’s primary backup is junior Jordan Barnett. Barnett was forced into duty last season when Bennett suffered an injury early in the game at Samford. The Lion reserve proved more than capable, ably leading the Lions to a 34-31 victory as Southeastern picked up its first road win of 2013 and started a 10-game winning streak. “We feel real comfortable with Jordan,” Roberts said. “He’s shown what he can do when we’ve put him out there. He’s a young man that battled injuries early in his career and we’re fortunate to have him an extra year after this season.” Sitting behind Barnett is another Lion with a bright future in sophomore D’Shaie Landor, who transferred from LouisianaLafayette prior to spring practice. Roberts was impressed with what he saw from the newcomer. “D’Shaie has a tremendous amount of ability and picked up our offense very well in the spring,” Roberts said. “We’re excited to have a young man of his talent with our program for the next three years.”

Southeastern’s success on offense was thanks in large part to their success on the ground. In addition to the damage quarterback Bryan Bennett could do with his legs, the Lions featured a quartet of effective running backs in Rasheed Harrell, Darrius Guy, Kody Sutton and Xavier Roberson who helped SLU set single-season team record for rushing yards (3,271) and rushing touchdowns (42). Though the versatile Roberson is moving to slot receiver in 2014, Southeastern returns the other three top running backs from a season ago. Harrell, a second team All-Southland Conference performer in 2013, is the top returner, though Guy and Sutton are both expected to make the most of additional touches available after Roberson’s position change. “We feel very comfortable with all three guys heading into the season,” Roberts said. “We’ll have some great competition for playing time in the fall and all three of those guys have put in the work to get the job done.” Roberts believed that fullback Juwaan Rogers was the Lions’ most consistent player in the spring. Senior John Andrews moves to fullback after playing as a reserve on the defensive line a season ago to provide depth at that position.
Wide Receivers/Tight Ends Bennett also could do damage with his arm and the Lions are loaded with pass catching options. Jeff Smiley returns after leading the Lions with 57 catches for 744 yards to go with six touchdowns. The All-Conference junior enters the fall as a starter, along with seniors Isaiah Kepley and Devante Scott. Southeastern will also add Xavier Roberson, who played running back his first two seasons, as a slot receiver to bolster the receiving corps. “Jeff had a great sophomore year and we were really impressed with the work both he and Isaiah put in during the spring,” Roberts said. “We believe Devante is going to be our breakout performer this season. He was never fully healthy, but he’s an extremely talented young man.
“ “We felt we were pretty loaded at running back and we needed to give Xavier more opportunities to get the ball in his hands,” Roberts added. “He made a smooth transition and he’s maybe our most dangerous threat when he gets in space. Those first four we throw out there are pretty salty.” Roberts also believes seniors Marquis Hayes, Chris Malott and Blane Arnold, along with newcomer Da’Quan Smith will push for playing time in the coming season. “We feel like we’re pretty deep at receiver,” Roberts commented. “We have about eight or nine guys we’re comfortable putting out there to make plays for us.” At tight end, Taylor Jenkins and Jeremy Meyers complement each other well, as Jenkins is a tremendous blocker and two year starter, while Meyers has been an All-Southland and All-Louisiana pick over the last two seasons due to his pass catching skills.
Offensive Line A total of four Lion offensive lineman earned All-Southland Conference accolades a season ago. Two of those all-conference performers return to lead an experienced offensive line corps. Junior Joe Graves, an All-Southland Conference guard a season ago, is expected to make the transition to center, with Ryan Cockerton, who started both playoff games after 2013 first team All-Southland senior Marshall Paris suffered a season-ending injury, ready to start if Graves is moved back to guard. Returning starter D.J. Williams will be back at right guard with junior Josue Miranda heading into the fall as the projected starter at left guard. Miranda missed the second half of 2013 with an injury and his return will be key, as he is versatile enough to play tackle if necessary. Sophomore Taylor Romero returns to provide experienced depth at both guard spots. All-Southland right tackle Jonathan Braddock returns for his senior season, while junior Aaron Reed, a transfer from Southern Miss, is expected to step in for 2013 senior and three-time All-Southland left tackle Gasten Gabriel on the left side.
Together We Stand “When you look at our offensive line depth chart, you’ll see six guys who have started games for us,” Roberts said. “What we really like about this group is that we have versatile guys who can play multiple positions. We’ll have a lot of competition in the fall, because we have a lot of guys who are good enough to earn playing time for us. It will be interesting to see who it shakes out.”
Defensive Line Like on the offensive side, Southeastern has plenty of depth up front on the defensive side. The front three for the Lions is an area Roberts expects continued improvement. The SLU defensive line is led by senior Jacob Newman, who earned second team All-Southland Conference and All-Louisiana in his first season as a Lion. The Visalia, Calif. native ranked among the league leaders with seven sacks and 14 tackles for loss in 2014. Newman and junior A.J. Bowen are expected to flank senior nose tackle Marquel Combs to provide the Lions with a big push up front. “Jacob was our most consistent player on the defensive side of the ball last season and someone who comes to work every single day,” Roberts commented. “A.J. has really come into his own and is poised for a breakout season. Marquel made some good strides in the spring and is a better player than he was when he got here last fall.” Sophomores Taylor Cochran and Javari Nichols will be among those providing depth up front, as the Lions routinely played 20-plus players on the defensive side of the ball every game. “We didn’t play very many freshman last season, but Javari was too good to keep from seeing significant playing time,” Roberts said. “We expected Taylor to be an immediate impact player for us last season, but he was never fully healthy. He’s back to full strength and he’s someone who can be a big-time contributor for us in the fall.”
Linebackers Southeastern runs a 3-3-5 defensive scheme, starting three linebackers. When the Southland Conference coaches voted for the preseason All-Southland Conference teams, four Lion linebackers earned a spot, illustrating SLU’s talent at the position.
Southeastern’s four senior preseason AllSLC selections include two top pass rushers in Isiah Corbett and Justin Church, while tackle machines Drew Misita and Kaleb Muse also return. Muse will be an extra boost to the group, as the Ponchatoula native missed the final eight games of the season after suffering an injury in the Southland opener.
“We’re going to have a lot of competition in fall camp,” Roberts said. “We have 10 guys legitimately in the hunt for starting jobs and the majority of them have the ability to play multiple positions. We’re going to continue to play a lot of guys on the defensive side of the ball and we can interchange any of those guys without seeing a drop-off.”
“I think Isiah’s the best pass rusher in the league and he made some further strides in the spring,” Roberts said. “We’ve been very pleased with the consistency Drew has shown heading into his senior season and we’re expecting big things from him. Justin has been a steady productive player for us and we’re fortunate to have Kaleb back from injury.”
Special Teams
Roberts cited several other players that will push for playing time in juniors Herbert Harris, Dereck Robinson, Jalai Yousofzai and T.J. West, as well as sophomore Caleb Young. “In my opinion, linebacker is our deepest position,” Roberts said. “There’s going to be some great competition in fall camp. Dereck had a great spring and Herbert is a tremendous talent. Jalai was one of the top junior college pass rushers in the nation. Caleb has experience and given us good reps in the past and T.J. is someone with phenomenal speed. We are a legitimate three deep at all three linebacker positions.”
Secondary While Roberts believes linebacker is the team’s deepest position, one could make a strong argument for the Southeastern secondary. The Lions will feature both experience and new talent in the back end, returning three All-Southland performers, as well as adding five newcomers who can have an immediate impact. The All-Southland trio for the Lions features a versatile skill set. Junior Harlan Miller and senior Marice Sutton shared the team lead with four interceptions each last season, while senior Tyler Stoddard has been one of Southeastern’s top tacklers in each of the past three seasons. Juniors Denzel Thompson and Josh Dakin each return to provide experience for the Lions.
Southeastern featured one of the nation’s top special teams in 2013, as the Lions boasted consensus All-America selections at kick returner and place-kicker, as well as an All-Southland Conference punter. Unfortunately for the Lions, two of those three pieces are gone. However, Southeastern has several players eager to take advantage of their opportunity for increased playing time. Junior Xavier Roberson, the 2013 College Football Performance Awards National Kick Returner of the Year, returns after leading the nation with 35.2 yards per kickoff return and three kick return touchdowns. Senior Devante Scott is expected to take over as the team’s punt returner after breaking off a 41-yard return in the FCS quarterfinals versus New Hampshire in his only return of 2013. The Lions will be looking to replace senior place-kicker Seth Sebastian, a consensus All-American, and senior punter Matt McCormick, a second team All-Southland Conference selection. Senior Ryan Adams, who has handled kickoffs for the past three seasons will handle the place-kicking duties, while freshman Alex Herbert will take over as the kickoff specialist. Junior Tim Callian is expected to be the team’s punter with senior Payton Zeringue returning as the team’s long snapper. “Tim has the ability and leg strength to be an All-Conference punter,” Roberts said. “Ryan has a strong leg and he’s got a deserved opportunity to show what he can do. Devante will be our punt returner heading into fall, but we expect that we may have a couple of guys that can push him for that job. We expect Xavier to continue to be a dangerous weapon for us returning kicks.”
No position will feature more new faces, as at least five newcomers are expected to earn playing time right away in the secondary. Transfers Jordan Batiste (Tulane), Micah Eugene (LSU), Dequan Reddick (New Mexico Military Institute), JQ Sandolph (LSU) and Derrick Raymond (LSU) are all poised to make immediate impacts.

Together We Stand
Ron Roberts Head Coach • @CoachRonRoberts Third Year at Southeastern Louisiana • UT Martin, 1990
In just two years at the helm of the Southeastern Louisiana football program, head coach Ron Roberts has helped the Lions reach new heights. In his first two seasons, Roberts has led the Lions to a 16-9 overall record and a 12-2 Southland Conference mark. In 2013, Roberts was named the Southland Conference, AFCA Region 5 and Louisiana Coach of the Year and was named a finalist for the Eddie Robinson Award, given to the top coach in the FCS. Under Roberts, the 2013 Lions won their first-ever Southland Conference championship and their first league title of any kind since 1961. Southeastern finished with an 11-3 overall record and 7-0 mark in league play, earning its first-ever FCS playoff berth and the No. 4 national seed. The single-season school record victory total propelled the Lions to a No. 6 ranking in the final FCS Coaches and Sports Network polls. Roberts oversaw a Lion squad that featured 24 All-Southland Conference players, including Player of the Year Bryan Bennett and Defensive Player of the Year Cqulin Hubert. Bennett, Hubert, kick returner Xavier Roberson and place kicker Seth Sebastian all earned All-America honors, while Roberson and Sebastian earned national awards at their positions from College Football Performance Awards. Roberts’ group also excelled in the classroom, placing a league-high 46 players on the Southland Conference Commissioner’s Fall Academic Honor Roll in 2013. Sophomore offensive lineman Joe Graves was a first team CoSIDA Academic All-District 6 selection. Southeastern opened the 2013 season 1-2 before reeling off nine straight victories to end the regular season. The highlights of the run were a 41-7 victory at No. 4/7 McNeese State and a 3421 victory over two-time national runner-up Sam Houston State. The Lions’ victory over Nicholls State not only clinched the outright Southland title, but also completed a SLU sweep of in-state

Defending Southland Conference Champions Southland rivals McNeese, Nicholls and Northwestern State for the second straight season. In the playoffs, Southeastern earned a first round bye and faced Sam Houston State in a second round contest. With 1:21 left on the clock, the Lions took over at their own 15-yard line with no timeouts and trailing 29-24. Roberts’ squad, led by Bennett, rolled to a six-play, 85-yard game-winning drive that took just 49 seconds off the clock. Bennett, who was 6-for-6 on the “Drive to Stay Alive”, found Jeff Smiley from a yard out to give Southeastern a dramatic 30-29 victory. Though the Lions dropped a 20-17 decision the next week to New Hampshire, Roberts had engineered a 2013 season that put Southeastern football on the map. In his inaugural season in Hammond, Roberts guided Southeastern to a 5-6 record, which equaled the combined wins by the Lions in 2010-11. Southeastern’s 5-2 record in Southland Conference action in 2012 marked the most wins in conference play at the time since 1978 when former coach Billy Brewer guided the Lions to a 5-1-1 mark in the Division II Gulf South Conference. After an 0-3 start to open the 2012 season, Southeastern rallied from a 14-point deficit and helped Roberts earn his first victory in Hammond with a 25-24 win over nationally-ranked McNeese State.The excitement generated by the dramatic comeback served as a spring board for the rest of the season as the Lions won their first three games in Southland Conference play and five of their final eight contests. Southeastern’s 5-2 mark in Southland Conference action – a four-game improvement from an identical 1-6 record in 2010 and 2011 – left the Lions one game behind co-champions Central Arkansas and Sam Houston State in the final standings. Along with its win over McNeese State, Roberts also guide the Lions to victories over Northwestern State and Nicholls State, marking the first-ever sweep of Southeastern’s in-state rivals in a season. Named the 16th head coach in school history on December 19, 2011, Roberts brought a proven record of success to Hammond after a successful five-year tenure at Division II Delta State University. At DSU, Roberts led the Statesmen to a 47-16 record, four 10-win seasons and two NCAA Super Region II titles that included an appearance in the 2010 NCAA Division II national championship game and the 2011 semifinals. A native of Visalia, Calif., Roberts led DSU to an 11-3 record in 2011 and was named the AFCA Division II Region Coach of the Year. The Statesmen led the GSC and finished 12th nationally with 463.7 yards per game while ranking 21st nationally in passing offense (282.7). DSU, which was ranked No. 1 nationally in the Division II polls for much of the season, paced the GSC in seven categories including total offense, scoring offense (33.4), total defense (336.6) and rushing defense (134.1). In 2010, the Statesmen averaged 31.9 points and 452.9 yards of total offense per game. That combination propelled the Statesmen to an 11-4 overall record and a 6-2 mark in GSC play; giving the Statesmen a share of the GSC title for the third time in four years. During Roberts’ tenure at DSU, 23 players were named to All-America teams and two players – Michael Eubanks in 2007 and Micah Davis in 2011 – were finalists for the Harlon Hill Trophy, the Division II equivalent to the Heisman Trophy. During Roberts’ stint with the Statesmen, 64 players, including 19 in 2011, were named to the All-GSC squad. Roberts spent two seasons as defensive coordinator at DSU under former coach Rick Rhoades before becoming the school’s 17th head coach in 2007. The Statesmen posted identical 10-2 records and claimed Gulf South Conference titles with a combined 16-0 mark in Roberts’ first two seasons as head coach. The Statesmen concluded 2007 ranked second in the NCAA in total defense, third in rush defense, second in scoring defense and first in defensive pass efficiency. The successes of 2007 continued into 2008, where the Statesmen finished the season ranked second in the GSC (471.9 ypg) and sixth nationally. Led by All-GSC candidate Garrett DeWitt, the Statesmen passing attacked ranked fourth nationally with 328.3 yards passing per game.The Statesmen also rolled up 1,713 rushing yards and ranked second in the GSC and 16th nationally with 36.2 points per game. Prior to joining the DSU staff, Roberts served one season as head coach at Mount Whitney (Calif.) HS, and the 2003 season as defensive coordinator at Texas State. While at Texas State, Roberts took over a defense ranked near the bottom in the Southland Conference. Within a year the seasoned coordinator improved the Bobcats’ defense in virtually every statistical category and Texas State placed two defenders on the All-Southland Conference Team. Before his appointment at Texas State, Roberts spent five seasons as assistant head coach and defensive coordinator at Tusculum College. During his tenure at the Greeneville, Tenn., school, the Pioneers posted one of the most memorable runs in school history. In 2002, Roberts guided a defense that led the South Atlantic Conference in yards allowed per game and in points per game. In 2002, the Pioneer defense posted a school-record with 31 turnovers. Roberts coached 11 All-South Atlantic Conference defensive selections and Ricardo Colclough, a second-round National Football League draft pick in 2004.

Defending Southland Conference Champions
Chet Pobolish Offensive Coordinator
Third Year at Southeastern Louisiana • Emporia State, 1999 Chet Pobolish begins his third year on the Southeastern Louisiana University football staff and his first as offensive coordinator after coaching the previous five seasons at Delta State. Prior to taking over as offensive coordinator, Pobolish handled the Lions’ receivers while serving as the team’s special teams’ coordinator. Both Pobolish’s receiving corps and special teams unit thrived for the 2013 Southland Conference champions. All-Southland Conference performers Jeff Smiley (57 catches, 744 yards, six touchdowns), Tony McCrea (40-689-2 TD) and Marquis Fruge’ (39-630-7 TD) helped provide balance to an offense that featured a dominant rushing attack. Southeastern’s historic 2013 season was partly made possible by one of the nation’s top special teams unit. Pobolish’s group featured sophomore kick returner Xavier Roberson and senior placekicker Seth Sebastian, both who were consensus All-America choices and College Football Performance Awards’ choice for the best player in FCS at their respective positions. Roberson led the nation with 35.2 yards per kickoff return and three kickoff return touchdowns – both single-season school and Southland Conference records. Sebastian posted the greatest season by a kicker in school history, finishing the season 16-for-18 on field goal attempts and setting single-season school records for PAT’s (66) and points (114). Punter Matt McCormick also earned All-Conference honors after averaging 40.6 yards per punt. Pobolish established himself as one of the more creative minds in college football as his special teams unit kept fans on the edge of their seats with their vast array of fake punt formations. Perhaps the most famous play in Pobolish’s repertoire was called simply “Mothe to Mueller” - Beau Mothe’s pass out of punt formation to long snapper Rogers Mueller that gained 27 yards and helped Southeastern to a 25-24 win over nationally-ranked McNeese State. Roberson averaged 33.3 yards per kickoff return as a true freshman and recorded a pair of touchdown returns. Robert Alford and McCrea each returned punts for touchdowns for the Lions, who won five of their final eight games after starting the season 0-3. Pobolish inherited a group of young receivers that combined to catch a total of 29 receptions from the previous season and re-

ceived steady numbers across the board as five players caught 20 or more passes. McCrea, who returned to the lineup after missing the entire 2011 season, earned All-Southland Conference honors after he led Southeastern with 28 receptions.

College. Prior to taking over as defensive coordinator, the Houston,Texas native coached the Lion linebackers while also serving as the team’s travel coordinator. Scott’s linebacker corps was a key factor in Southeastern’s 2013 Southland Conference championship campaign. Leading the way was Cqulin Hubert, who was named Southland Conference Defensive Player of the Year after posting a team-high 90 tackles (including 11 for loss) for a Lion defense that led the league in scoring defense. In addition, juniors Isiah Corbett (league-high 16 TFL, seven sacks) and Justin Church (8 TFL, five sacks) earned All-Southland Conference honors, while junior Drew Misita contributed 80 tackles. Scott led an active group of linebackers in 2012 that featured one of the leading tacklers in the Southland Conference (Kaleb Muse) and one of the top pass rushers in the league (Devan Walker). Muse led Southeastern with 80 tackles on the season with Hubert (60), Walker (46) and Misita (43) among a group of eight players with 40 or more stops. Walker, who played his final season at linebacker after three seasons at defensive end, finished as the Lions’ top player in tackles for loss (12.5) and sacks
(7) while garnering All-Southland Conference honors and being invited to compete in the Texas vs. Nation Collegiate All-Star Game. Before his arrival in Hammond, Scott served as recruiting coordinator, defensive backs coach and linebackers coach in his four-year stint with Tusculum, a Division II school. In five years in collegiate coaching at Tusculum and Delta State University, Scott was associated with programs that won two conference championships, made a pair of trips to the NCAA Division II Playoffs and earned two national rankings. In his first two years at Tusculum, he was responsible for the linebacker corps. Scott made an immediate impact in his first Tusculum campaign, mentoring two All-Conference and All-Region linebackers in Justin Scott and Jarvis Littlejohn. Both players each recorded over 100 tackles as the Pioneers won the South Atlantic Conference championship. Scott garnered All-America recognition, while establishing school season (22) and career (51) marks for tackles for loss. Justin Scott also finished his career with seven recovered fumbles, a new school best. Before his arrival at Tusculum, Scott spent one season at Delta State, where he served as a graduate assistant coach for the Statesmen in 2007. In his lone season at DSU, he helped the Statesmen to a 10-2 record and a Gulf South Conference championship, while advancing to the second round of the NCAA
Division II playoffs and earning a No. 10 national ranking. Scott helped orchestrate one of the top defenses in the nation, while mentoring All-American linebacker Michael Eubanks. Eubanks was a national finalist for the Harlon Hill Trophy, which recognizes the National Player of the Year in Division II. Eubanks, who finished third in the Harlon Hill balloting, ended his collegiate career as the NCAA II leader in sacks (39) and third all-time in career tackles for loss (67.5). Scott also coached All-Conference standouts Lardester Hicks and Anthony King in 2007, while serving on the coaching staff for DSU head coach and former Tusculum defensive coordinator Ron Roberts. The Statesmen led the nation in pass efficiency defense (77.9) and was second in the country in total defense (227.4 yards per game), scoring defense (13.9 points per game) and team pass sacks (4.0 sacks per game).

Travis Mikel Offensive Line
Second Year at Southeastern Louisiana • Delta State, 2007 Travis Mikel begins his third year as an assistant coach on the Southeastern Louisiana University staff, serving as offensive line coach and the team’s Director of Football Operations. Before his arrival in Hammond, Mikel spent three seasons at Delta State under head coach Ron Roberts where he was served in the same capacity, including the last two years as offensive line coach. The 2013 Lions had one of the top offensive seasons in program history, thanks in large part to the work of Mikel’s offensive line troops. The talented offensive line included a pair of first team All-Southland Conference selections in senior left tackle Gasten Gabriel and senior center Marshall Paris. Joining Gabriel and Paris on the All-Southland team were honorable mention selections Joe Graves and Jonathan Braddock. Graves was also outstanding in the classroom, earning first team CoSIDA Academic All-District VI and Southland Conference All-Academic accolades. In his first season at Southeastern, Mikel worked an offensive line that was paced by All-Southland Conference performer Gabriel. Along with fellow starters Paris, Geremy Wilson, Corey Boothe and Paul Roppolo, the offensive line gelled as the season progressed, opening holes for freshmen running backs Xavier Roberson and Rasheed Harrell while limiting opponents to five sacks in seven league games. At Delta State, Mikel coached Division II AllAmericans Chad Schroeder (2008), Trevar Deed (2008-2010), Brad Latham (2009), Phillip Yandall (2010) and Darrell Leopold (2011). He also worked
with 10 All-GSC and All-South Region Statesmen. The DSU offensive line, under Mikel’s guidance, helped the Statesmen finish 12th in Division II in total offense and 21st nationally in passing offense. The Statesmen led the Gulf South Conference in scoring offense while the offensive line helped pave the way for quarterback Micah Davis to finish third overall for the Harlon Hill Trophy – the Division II equivalent to the Heisman Trophy. In 2010, Mikel helped guide the Statesmen to the NCAA DII National Championship game and their third Gulf South Conference title in four years with an 11-4 overall record and a 6-2 mark in the GSC. DSU fell short of their goal of winning the title on a last second game-winning field goal by MinnesotaDuluth 20-17. In Mikel’s first season as offensive line coach, the Statesmen allowed the fewest sacks in the Gulf South Conference while producing one of the top offenses in NCAA Division II. DSU averaged 31.9 points and 452.9 yards of total offense per game. Mikel’s linemen allowed Davis to become the first 4,000-yard passer in school history while Deed shattered the school all-purpose yardage (5,144) and scoring (264 points/44 touchdowns) records. Yandall (LT) and Leopold (C) earned postseason honors for DSU under Mikel’s direction. Yandall was named a Daktronics Honorable Mention All-American while both Yandall and Leopold were named AllGSC and All-South Region.
In 2009, the Statesmen offense averaged 410.4 yards per game, while scoring 27.1 points per game. Senior quarterback Garrett DeWitt closed his career as the second-leading passer in school history with 6,945 yards, while amassing 7,145 yards of total offense. Junior all-purpose back Deed finished the regular season leading the GSC in scoring with 15 total touchdowns. With assistance from Mikel, four-year starter Brad Latham (OL) was named to the All-GSC First Team and All-Super Region Two teams. Latham also participated in the Cactus Bowl, the Division II AllStar Game in Kingsville, Texas. In 2008, the Statesmen receiving corps proved to be one of the best in the Gulf South Conference and the nation. Two Statesmen, Schroeder (AFCA) and Deed (FB Gazette) received All-American honors after the season. A 2007 graduate of Delta State University with a degree in Interdisciplinary Studies, Mikel was a 2006 Honorable Mention All-American, as well as an AllGulf South Conference Second Team member.

2013 Game Recaps Game No. 1 Southeast Missouri State . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 7 Southeastern Louisiana . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 45 August 29, 2013 • Attendance: 5,820 Strawberry Stadium • Hammond, La.
HAMMOND - Southeastern Louisiana junior quarterback Bryan Bennett rushed for 106 yards and three touchdowns to pace the Lions to a 45-7 victory over Southeast Missouri State in the season opener for both teams on Aug. 29 in Strawberry Stadium. The Lions (1-0) posted an impressive 309 yards rushing on the way to its first victory to open a season since 2009. Southeastern was able to hold the visiting Redhawks (0-1) to 294 total yards and score the final 31 points of the contest. Bennett is the first Lion quarterback to top 100 yards rushing since Dean Waguespack tallied 122 yards versus Livingston on Oct. 15, 1977. The sophomore running back trio of Kody Sutton (10 carries, 87 yards), Xavier Roberson (11 carries, 54 yards) and Rasheed Harrell (10 carries, 49 yards) were all effective on the ground. In addition to Bennett’s three scores, Sutton, Roberson and junior quarterback Jordan Barnett all rushed for touchdowns. Defensively, sophomore defensive back Harlan Miller had an interception, while James Scales III, Isiah Corbett, Jacob Newman and Javari Nichols were all credited with sacks. Drew Misita led the Lions with seven tackles. Southeastern also made an impact on special teams, as Miller broke free for a 44-yard punt return. Roberson opened the game with a 65-yard kickoff return, while junior Justin Church blocked a field goal.
Game No. 2 Southeastern Louisiana . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 17 No. 24 TCU . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 38 Sept. 7, 2013 • Attendance: 41,170 Amon G. Carter Stadium • Fort Worth, Texas
FORT WORTH,Texas - After the Southeastern Louisiana football team played nationally-ranked TCU to a near stalemate in the opening half, the No. 24 Horned Frogs scored 21 unanswered second half points to pull away for a 38-17 victory over the Lions on Sept. 7 at Amon G. Carter Stadium. Southeastern (1-1) put an early scare into the Big 12 opponent, trailing just 17-14 after an evenly played first half. However, TCU (1-1) scored touchdowns on three of its first four possessions of the second half while holding Southeastern scoreless to avoid being the latest FBS opponent to be upset by a FCS opponent. TCU was able to hold off the Lions thanks to a plusthree advantage in the turnover battle. The Horned Frogs picked off Southeastern junior quarterback Bryan Bennett twice, while also forcing the Lion signal caller to cough up an early fumble. Excluding the turnover battle, the numbers show a game that was much closer than the 21-point final margin. TCU out-gained Southeastern, 402-339, but the Lions racked up 207 rushing yards versus the nation’s toughest rushing defense over the last decade. The Horned Frogs had a negligible 20-18 edge in first downs. Though the Lions are now 0-18 versus FBS opponents since 2003, the Lions put a much more competitive effort than their most recent efforts against FBS opposition, scoring for the first time versus a Big 12 opponent.

BROOKINGS, S.D. - Southeastern Louisiana outgained No. 6 South Dakota State, 506-345, but was unable to overcome six turnovers in a 34-26 loss to the Jackrabbits in non-conference action on Sept. 14 at Coughlin-Alumni Stadium. For the second straight week, Southeastern (1-2) put a scare into a nationally-ranked opponent, but the minus-six turnover margin and 12 penalties for 115 yards ruined the chances for a statement victory on the road. The Lions led 19-7 early in the third quarter, but the Jackrabbits answered with 27 unanswered points by taking advantage of Southeastern mistakes. South Dakota State (3-0) remained undefeated, defeating Southeastern for the second straight year. Junior quarterback Bryan Bennett threw for 322 yards on 27-for-38 passing, but also threw four interceptions. Bennett also rushed for a team-high 73 yards and a touchdown, while sophomore Rasheed Harrell posted 43 yards and a score of his own on the ground. Senior Tony McCrea posted his best performance as a Lion, pulling in seven passes for 158 yards to lead the Lion pass catchers. Chris Malott and Jeff Smiley each hauled in five passes apiece for Southeastern. The Lion defense finished with five sacks. Theo Alexander led the Lions with seven tackles, while Kevin Harmon, John Graves, Kaleb Muse, Justin Church and Greg Triay were each credited with sacks.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. - Southeastern Louisiana tied a season high with 309 rushing yards and held off a late Samford rally for a 34-31 road victory over the Bulldogs in non-conference action on Sept. 21 at Seibert Stadium. Southeastern (2-2) built a 34-14 lead early in the fourth quarter and was able to hold off a furious Samford run for its first non-conference road victory since a 34-28 road victory at Alcorn State on Aug. 30, 2008. The Bulldogs, who were just outside of both the FCS Coaches and Sports Network polls, fell to 2-2 with the loss in their home opener. Southeastern was able to amass the rushing totals despite losing Bryan Bennett to an undisclosed leg injury early in the game. Junior quarterback Jordan Barnett was more than a capable replacement for Bennett, completing 10-of-17 passes for 155 yards and a touchdown, while also rushing for 58 yards on 15 carries. With Barnett running the show, the Lions were able to rack up 490 total yards and control the ball for nearly 39 minutes. The rushing attack was buoyed by the efforts of the sophomore trio of Kody Sutton (25 carries, 100 yards, 2 TD), Xavier Roberson (8 carries, 94 yards, 1 TD) and Rasheed Harrell (17 carries, 53 yards). Junior Isiah Kepley was the top receiver for the Lions, catching four balls for 107 yards and his first touchdown as a Lion. Sophomore Josh Dakin and senior John Graves led the Lions with five tackles apiece.

NATCHITOCHES - Ignited by a 92-yard kickoff return touchdown by sophomore Xavier Roberson, the Southeastern Louisiana football team outscored Northwestern State 30-6 in the second half on the way to a 37-22 victory over the Demons on Oct. 19 in Turpin Stadium.

HAMMOND - For the first time in 52 years, the Southeastern Louisiana Lions were champions. The No. 14 Lions (9-2, 6-0 Southland) scored 24 unanswered points on the way to a 34-21 victory over No. 4 Sam Houston State (8-3, 4-2 Southland) on Nov. 16 at Strawberry Stadium. With its eighth consecutive win, Southeastern clinched at least a share of the Southland Conference title and its first-ever berth in the Football Championship Subdivision playoffs. Southeastern’s conference championship was the program’s first since 1961, when the Lions were the champions of the Gulf States Conference under legendary coach Stan Galloway. The Lions battled back from an 11-point second quarter deficit to claim its sixth straight double-digit victory over a league opponent. Junior quarterback Bryan Bennett threw for 268 yards and three touchdowns, finding senior Marquis Fruge’ on a pair of scoring tosses and also throwing a 62-yard touchdown to sophomore Xavier Roberson. Junior Marquis Hayes rushed for a touchdown for the second straight week While the Lion offense was explosive, it was the Lion defense that held the Bearkats without a point for the final 31 minutes of the contest. Junior Isiah Corbett led the Lions with five tackles for loss, two sacks and what proved to be a game-clinching interception.

HAMMOND – It took a little while for the Southland Conference champion Southeastern Louisiana football team to get going, but once they did the No. 8/10 Lions clicked on all cylinders on the way to winning their first ever outright league title in Strawberry Stadium. Southeastern (10-2, 7-0 Southland), which set a single-season school record for victories, shook off a sloppy first half and rolled to a history 52-27 victory over Nicholls State (4-8, 1-6 Southland) in the River Bell Classic. The Lions scored 32 points in the third quarter to pull away, finishing with a single-game school record 702 total yards to close the regular season with a resounding victory. In addition to the single-game school record total yardage, Southeastern also accumulated a season-high 377 rushing yards and 28 first downs. Lion junior quarterback Bryan Bennett once again led the Southeastern offense. In a little less than three quarters of play, the Granada Hills, Calif. native threw for 273 yards and two touchdowns. Bennett also rushed for a game-high 120 yards and his 14th rushing touchdown of the season, tying the then-single-season school record set by Horace Belton in 1974.

HAMMOND -Trailing the two-time defending national runner up 29-24 with 1:21 left on the clock, the ball on its own 15-yard line and no timeouts left, the Southeastern Louisiana football team was on the brink of having its season end at the hands of Southland Conference rival Sam Houston State in its NCAA Division I Football Championship second round contest in Strawberry Stadium. Southeastern junior quarterback Bryan Bennett and the Lions had other plans. Bennett was a perfect 6-for-6 on an 85-yard gamewinning drive that took just 49 seconds off the clock. Sophomore wide receiver Jeff Smiley hauled in a one-yard pass from the Southland Conference Player of the Year with 36 seconds remaining to provide the winning score. The 30-29 win was the 10th straight for the Southland champion and No. 4 national seed Lions (11-2), who are making their debut in the FCS playoffs. To advance to the quarterfinals, Southeastern had to outlast a veteran tested Bearkats team (9-5) that had advanced to the FCS National Championship game in Frisco, Texas, in each of the previous two years.

HAMMOND - New Hampshire sophomore quarterback Sean Goldrich’s two-yard touchdown with 47 seconds remaining proved the game-winner, as the No. 15 Wildcats defeated No. 7 Southeastern Louisiana, 20-17, in a NCAA Division I Football Championship quarterfinal matchup on Dec. 14 at Strawberry Stadium. Southeastern (11-3) had one last chance and moved into New Hampshire territory in the final seconds, but UNH stopped sophomore running back Kody Sutton as the Lions tried several laterals on the game’s final play. The loss ended a historic season for the Southland Conference champion Lions, who won their first conference championship since 1961, set a new single-season school record for victories and made their first-ever trip to the FCS playoffs. UNH (10-4) advanced to face two-time defending national champion North Dakota State in the semifinals in Fargo, N.D.

T.J. Campion, Tackle, 1942-46 Campion was the second player in Southeastern history to be named All-American. Campion’s 1942 squad finished 5-5 and was the last Southeastern football team prior to the three-year hiatus that resulted from World War II. Campion was again named All-American in 1946 and was a member of the first undefeated team in school history, as the Lion finished the campaign 9-0. Campion went on to be drafted by the Philadelphia Eagles. Ray Porta, Quarterback, 1954 A two-time All-Gulf States Conference selection, Porta was arguably the most successful signal caller in Southeastern history. Porta led the Lions to back-to-back GSC trophies and an undefeated season in 1954. Porta led the conference in passing in both 1953 and 1954, in addition to leading in punting in the latter season. Over his two-year career, Porta completed 97 of 209 passes for 1559 yards and threw 24 touchdown passes versus just nine interceptions on the way to leading Southeastern to a 15-3 record over the span. During the the flawless 1954 campaign, Porta set a single-season school record for touchdown passes with 15 and engineered an offense that set single-season school records for points (379), rushing yards (2,985) and total offense (3,952). Porta ranks among the Lions’ career passing yardage leaders. Porta was named second-team quarterback on the Louisiana Collegiate All-Time Football Team for players who finished their careers before 1965. Huey Husser, End, 1955 Husser, a four-year starter for Southeastern and member of three Gulf States Conference championship squads, was a crowd favorite from the moment he donned the Southeastern uniform. Husser regularly wowed Strawberry Stadium crowds with his circus - then known as “dipsy-doodle” - catches and was considered one of the top receivers in the nation throughout his career. Over the span of his career, Husser caught 60 passes for 861 yards and 15 touchdowns. The versatile star stepped in as the Lions’ punter in 1955, leading the GSC with a 36.5 average. Husser is one of two players in school history to lead the team in receiving all four years. Husser signed with the Chicago Cardinals after his Southeastern career. C.J. Alexander, Halfback, 1958-59 Dubbed “The Black Knight”, Alexander was the second player in Southeastern history to earn All-American honors in multiple years. Alexander led the Lions in rushing in 1958 as a junior, covering 596 yards on 108 carries and scoring eight touchdowns. Alexander came back with an even more impressive season in 1959, averaging 7.1 yards per carry on the way to 787 yards and seven touchdowns. . Alexander signed with the Boston Patriots after graduation and went on to play for the Edmonton Eskimos of the Canadian Football League.

C.J. Alexander
T.C. Calmes, Tackle, 1960 Calmes, a Hammond High product, received Special Mention on the Williamson Mid-Bracket All-American team in 1960. A second team All-Gulf States Conference selection, the fouryear letterwinner was a mainstay on the Southeastern offensive and defensive lines throughout his career. Elbert Harris, Quarterback, 1961 Harris was a four-year letterwinner for the Lions. After playing sparingly his freshman campaign, Harris took the starting quarterback job during the 1959 season and held on to it for the remainder of his Southeastern career. Harris finished his career having completed 69-of-179 passes for 1217 yards. During his three years as a starter, Southeastern amassed a record of 23-6 and won two Gulf State Conference crowns. Harris was also a standout defensive back, leading the Lions with three interceptions in 1960. In 1961, Harris was the co-captain of the East team in the All American Bowl and signed with the Dallas Cowboys after graduation. Wilbur Derrick, Halfback, 1961 Known as the “Gentleman Halfback”, Derrick joined the Lions in 1960 after a stint in the Army and made an immediate impact. Having the unenviable task of replacing Lion All-American C.J. Alexander in the Southeastern backfield, Derrick led the Gulf States Conference in rushing in both 1960 and 1961. Over his two-year stint, Derrick carried the ball 225 times for 1046 yards (20th in school history) and the Lions won back-to-back GSC titles. Billy Ladner, Halfback, 1961 Ladner was a member of the Lions 1960 and 1961 teams, which won back-to-back Gulf States Conference championships. Ladner earned All-American honors in 1961, after leading to GSC in scoring, setting then-school records for touchdowns (10) and total points (66). The halfback also led the team in kick returns with a 26.3 yard average, intercepted 5 passes with a 43.2 yard interception return average and earned All-GSC honors in 1961.

Alan Klein, Linebacker, 1973-74 A two-time All-American, Klein had 132 tackles (80 solo) in his senior season, helping the Lions to a 6-4 record, its first winning season in nine years. Klein is one of seven players in school history to be named All-America twice. Bret Wright, Punter, 1983 Wright earned recognition from both Kodak and the Associated Press after the 1983 season, finishing the season second in the nation in punting with a 44.2 average, leading to his eighth round selection by the New York Jets in the 1984 NF L Draft. Wright finished his career with a 42.2 average, second in school history.
Willie Shepherd, Nose Guard, 1984-85 Shepherd earned Kodak First Team All-America Honors in his senior season, recording 89 tackles (69 solo), 11 tackles for loss and five sacks.

He forced a fumble and recovered two. His 76-yard interception return for a touchdown versus Western Kentucky was the fourth longest in school history. He became only the seventh player in school history to earn All-American honors multiple times.

Scott Senner, Punter, 1984 Senner transferred to Southeastern prior to the 1984 season from Pearl River Junior College and earned AllAmerica accolades in his lone season in a Lion uniform. He averaged 43.3 yards per punt on 63 punts, notching a long of 61 yards. His 1984 average puts him on top of the Lions’ career punting list.
Jeff Turner, Placekicker, 2007 Turner was a honorable mention selection by the Sports Network after connecting on 17 of 20 field goals. A first team All-SLC and second team All-Louisiana pick, Turner set a SLC record with six field goals at Texas State.

On December 10, 2013, the National Collegiate Athletic Association Division I Committee on Infractions has accepted summary disposition of the infractions case originally selfreported by Southeastern Louisiana University almost one year ago, largely agreeing to the penalties self-imposed by the university. As a result of an extensive self-investigation, the university selfreported to the NCAA that 137 student-athletes competed without meeting eligibility requirements between the academic years of 2005-2006 through 2009-2010, with a majority of the violations occurring in 2005-2006 and 2006-2007. Most of the student-athletes failed to meet academic eligibility requirements to compete under NCAA rules. 86 percent of the student-athletes identified in the case went on to graduate from Southeastern or left the university in good academic standing. Athletics staff members responsible for academic advising and eligibility certification during the time of the violations are no longer associated with the university. No current student-athlete at Southeastern participated while ineligible. Southeastern self-imposed penalties include vacating victories in which ineligible student-athletes participated, scholarship reductions, and imposition of a two-year probationary period. The NCAA extended the probationary period to four years and ordered Southeastern to pay a financial penalty of $25,000. The probation terms do not include any postseason bans. Following identification of the infractions, Southeastern has implemented corrective actions that include the appointment of an assistant to the president for athletics compliance, the addition of a new compliance coordinator, the implementation of academic tracking software to strengthen the certification process and streamline monitoring, changes in the eligibility certification process to include oversight by institutional offices outside the Athletics Department, enhanced rules training of athletics coaches and staff, and implementation of new procedures to improve academic advising of student-athletes. “We are pleased to put resolution of this case behind us. These infractions occurred years ago, and current coaches, staff and administration are absolutely committed to ongoing compliance with all NCAA rules,” stated Athletics Director Jay Artigues.

Defending Southland Conference Champions
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
R. Norval Garrett
First Southeastern Head Football Coach
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 14-13-3 record.
E.L. “Ned” McGehee
Leads Lions to 9-0-0 record in 1946 - the first of two undefeated and untied seasons in school history
1946▲
After going through two coaches in two years during the 1941-42 campaigns and a three-year 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 All-American T.J. Campion along with All-Louisiana 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.

Together We Stand 1951
Following the perfect season in 1946, Southeastern goes through a bit of a lull over the next four campaigns mustering a winning record just once -- a 6-4 mark in 1950 that included a 6-0 win at Auburn. 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 six times (1952, 53, 54, 56, 60, 61). Galloway compiles an 8442-4 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

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 scored would be a school record for the next half century until the 2004 squad scored 425.
1955
Despite an off season for the Lions with a 5-5 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.

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.

Defending Southland Conference Champions 1959
The Lions begin the return to prominence going 5-4 including wins over Southwestern 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 1980-85, 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.
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 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.
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.

Elbert Harris
“Mr. Everywhere” helps Lions to sixth Gulf States title under Stan Galloway in 1961
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 0-11 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 Billy Brewer on the road to championship caliber football with a 6-4 Led Southeastern to a 38-24-2 record from 1974-79 record his first season.

Ronnie Hornsby
All-America performer is selected to the Senior Bowl in 1970 and is the first Lions player to have his jersey (No. 35) retired
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 led by All-GSC senior quarterback and team captain, Don Griffin. Don was awarded Offensive Player of the Year by the GSC completing 65 of 150 passes for 1,159 yards and rushing for 339 yards. Don finished his two-year career at SLU ranked second in school history in total offense – 2,761 yards and second in passing yardage, 2,193 yards. In addition, senior running back Horace Belton, who played 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 that 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. He also set then-Southeastern records for single-season yardage (1,168, 1975), rushing touchdowns(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.

Donald Dykes
Hammond native and two-sport star becomes the highest drafted player in school history when he’s selected in the second round by the New York Jets in the 1979 NFL draft
Brewer coaches the Lions for three more seasons compiling winning records in each. Following a 6-4 mark in 1977, the Lions produce 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. Offensive lineman Lyle Walker inks a contract with the Dallas Cowboys.

Defending Southland Conference Champions 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 IAA for the 1980 season. The Lions open the year with a win at Boise State. Homecoming week is special as Southeastern roars to a 47-6 win over Texas Southern 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 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 one-yard plunge with 1:32 left. Mahfouz finishes the game completing 16 of 28 passes for 298 yards and five touchdowns. Mack Boatner is drafted in the ninth round of the NFL Draft by the Miami Dolphins. Tight end Leslie Jackson signs with the Miami Dolphins, defensive back Ormando Whitlock signs with the Denver Broncos and defensive end Glenn Ferrill signs with the Dallas Cowboys.
The Big “O”
Former Lion great Oscar Lofton returns to the sidelines in 1980 and guides Southeastern into Division I with a 17-13 win at eventual I-AA national champion Boise State
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 roller-coaster 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 starts 0-and-2 out of the gate but rights the ship to win five straight during the middle of the season to finish with a 6-5 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 All-America notice.

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 21-17 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.

Woody Widenhofer and Hal Mumme
Hal Mumme, formerly at Kentucky, is named head coach at Southeastern in 2002 and hires Woody Widenhofer, the architect of the Pittsburgh Steelers’ “Steel Curtain” defense, as the Lions’ defensive coordinator. The duo leads Southeastern to a two-year record of 12-11
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 Arkansas-Monticello, 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.
2004
Beard Goes To Hula Bowl
Brett Beard (92), who played for Woody Widenhofer at Vanderbilt, transferred to play his final season as a collegian for the Lions in 2003 and was selected to play in the 2004 Hula Bowl.
Southeastern notches its first winning season since returning football with a 7-4 record. The Lions lead the nation in total offense. Hankins, wide receiver Felton Huggins and tackle Kenard White each earn all-America honors. The Lions stun sixth-ranked McNeese State in Lake Charles, 51-17, before a regionally-televised audience and briefly earn their first top-25 national ranking since their return. Hankins, who threw for a school-record 4,240 yards with 35 touchdowns, finishes seventh overall in voting for the Walter Payton Award, awarded to the top offensive player in I-AA. In late December, Mumme accepts the head coaching position at Division I-A New Mexico State.
2005
On January 18, Southeastern announces that Dennis Roland, a former assistant under Mumme in 2003, will take over as the 14th head football coach in school history. The Lions have their season shortened to 10 games after the season-opener against Jacksonville was cancelled due to Hurricane Katrina. The Alcorn State game, scheduled for Sept. 8, is pushed back two days later and the Lions eventually get underway with a 48-21 victory. Southeastern finishes its first season as a member of the Southland Conference with a 4-6 overall record and are 2-4 in league play.
2006
Southeastern 51, McNeese State 17
Playing in just its 14th game since returning football the previous season, Southeastern ventures to face then No. 6-ranked McNeese State in a regionally-televised game on Sept. 11, 2004. The Lions trailed 14-9 midway through the second quarter before taking a 16-14 lead at halftime and never letting off the throttle in the second half as it outscored the Cowboys, 35-3. Ray Perkins (above) rushed for 110 yards as Southeastern piled up 595 yards total offense against the three-time defending Southland champions. The win also vaults Southeastern into the national rankings for the first time as it was ranked No. 25 by the Sports Network in the Sept. 13 poll.
Playing a rugged non-conference schedule that includes I-A bowl participants Southern Miss and Texas Tech, the Lions finish with a 2-9 record. After the season opener at New Mexico State, head coach Dennis Roland misses the next three games with an infection and eventually takes a leave of absence on Oct. 24. Mike Lucas is named interim coach for the remaining three games before being named the Lions 15th head coach on Dec. 14. Nine players earn All-Southland Conference honors, including first-team center Donald Usry.
2007
Southeastern, which finishes with a 3-8 mark in Mike Lucas’ first full season, starts the year 0-2 with games at FBS opponents New Mexico State and eventual Orange Bowl champion Kansas, who would finish No. 2 in the final national polls. The Lions open their home schedule scoring a school-record 79 points against Division II Kentucky Wesleyan. Jay Lucas sets the single-season rushing record with 1,239 yards and is a first-team AllSouthland Conference selection. Jeff Turner is named honorable mention All-America by the Sports Network after making 28 of 29 extra point attempts and 17 of 20 field goals. Turner sets a school, and Southland Conference single-game record with six field goals against Texas State. Freshman Mark Newbill finishes third in the Southland Conference in tackles. Southeastern closes out the season with a 17-13 win over arch-rival Nicholls State, defeating the Colonels for the first time since 1980 and claiming the River Bell in the process.

The River Bell Comes Back To Hammond
Brent Blazevich (64) takes a look at the River Bell that is hoisted by teammate Chad Tedder (75) after the Lions’ 17-13 win over arch-rival Nicholls State in the 2007 finale. The win marked Southeastern’s first win over the Colonels over an eight-game span since 1980.
2010-11
With a veteran team returning and picked by many to finish in the upper half of the Southland Conference, Southeastern stumbles out of the gate and finishes with a disappointing 2-9 record in 2010 that includes six losses by a combined 20 points. The Lions defeat UT Martin in their home opener, 24-10, and post an impressive 49-24 win over No. 15 Texas State in Strawberry Stadium. Eight players are named to the AllSouthland Conference team. Mark Newbill concludes his career as the first player to record 400 tackles and Tommy Connors finishes third in school history with 355. Simmie Yarborough catches three touchdown passes against Texas State to pass Felton Huggins as the school’s all-time leader in TD receptions and later in the season passes Huggins as the Lions’ all-time leader in receptions. The Lions field a youthful team in 2011 and finish with a 3-8 record. Yarborough finishes a brilliant four-year career as the all-time leading receiver in Southland Conference history with 229 receptions. Yarborough, Brandon Collins and Kory Theodore all finish with at least 60 receptions for the Lions with Yarborough named first-team All-Southland Conference. Redshirt freshman Jordan Wells sets a school and Southland Conference single-season record with 1,383 yards in kickoff returns and is named the league’s Freshman of the Year while finishing 10th overall for the Jerry Rice Award, given to the top freshman at the FCS level by The Sports Network. The Lions end the season on Nov. 17 with a 31-14 win over Nicholls State to claim the River Bell for the first time in four years, but head coach Mike Lucas is relieved of his coaching duties four days later. Ron Roberts, who posted a 47-16 record in five seasons at Division II Delta State, is named the 16th head coach in Southeastern history on Dec. 19.
Simmie Yarborough
Yarborough’s first collegiate catch - a 14-yard TD pass in the 2008 season opener at Alcorn State - was a sign of what was to come. The Brookhaven, Miss.-native and four-year letterwinner finished as the school’s all-time leader in receptions (229), yards (2,780) and TD receptions (30).
2012
Southeastern opens the first season under new coach Ron Roberts with losses to Missouri, South Dakota State and UT Martin before a dramatic fourth-quarter comeback at home against No. 17 McNeese State sets the tone for the rest of the season. Trailing 24-17 late in the fourth quarter, Southeastern converts on a pair of third-and-long situations and twice on fourth down to cap an 11-play drive and earn a 25-24 victory over the Cowboys. The Lions reel off three straight Southland Conference victories before ending the season with league wins over Stephen F. Austin and Nicholls State to finish 5-6 overall and 5-2 in conference play. The five league wins are the most by the Lions since going 5-1-1 in 1978. The Lions earn their first-ever season sweep of their in-state conference rivals - McNeese State, Northwestern State and Nicholls State. Defensive back Robert Alford caps a storied career as he earns All-America honors from the Sports Network and Associated Press and is named the FCS National Defensive Player of the Year by Collegiate Sports Journal. Alford becomes the second Southeastern player to compete in the Senior Bowl and is drafted in the second round (No. 60 overall) by the Atlanta Falcons in the 2013 NFL Draft. Quarterback Nathan Stanley (Casino del Sol, East-West Shrine Game) and linebacker Devan Walker (Texas vs. Nation All-Star Game) compete in collegiate all-star games.

2013 ▲
In Roberts’ second year, the Lions storm on to the national scene. Southeastern finishes No. 6 in both the Sports Network and FCS Coaches’ final polls after setting a new single-season school record for victories, finishing 11-3 overall and winning its first conference championship since 1961 with a 7-0 league mark. The Lions roll off a 10-game winning streak and earn the No. 4 national seed in the program’s first-ever trip to the NCAA Football Subdivision playoffs. Roberts is named Coach of the Year by the Southland Conference, the Louisiana Sports Writers Association and AFCA Region 5. In his first year after transferring from Oregon, junior quarterback Bryan Bennett is named the Southland Conference Player of the Year, as well as the Louisiana Offensive Player and Newcomer of the Year. The Granada Hills, Calif. native throws for 3,165 yards and 21 touchdowns, while also leading the team with 1,046 rushing yards and a single-season school record 16 rushing touchdowns. The Lions leads the Southland in scoring defense behind league Defensive Player of the Year Cqulin Hubert and first team All-Southland defensive back Harlan Miller. On special teams, senior place-kicker Seth Sebastian becomes the school’s single-season and career record holder in points scored, earning multiple All-America nods and College Football Performance Awards Place-Kicker of the Year. Sophomore Xavier Roberson leads the nation with 35.2 yards per kickoff return and three kickoff return touchdowns, setting new single-season school and conference records. The Atlanta product is a consensus All-America choice and named the CFPA Kick Returner of the Year. After a 1-2 start, Southeastern builds momentum heading into Southland Conference play. The Lions make their first splash on the national stage with a dominant 41-7 victory on Nov. 2 at then-No. 4 McNeese State and follow the next week with a 58-31 triumph at No. 24 Central Arkansas. Southeastern then clinches a share of the league title with a 34-21 victory over two-time defending national runner up and No. 4 Sam Houston State. In the River Bell Classic, Southeastern closes out a perfect run through league play with a 52-27 victory over Nicholls State. After a first-round bye, Southeastern welcomes SHSU to Strawberry Stadium for a rematch in the second round of the FCS playoffs. The Lions bounce back from an early 14-0 deficit to take a halftime lead. However, the Bearkats rally and hold a 29-24 lead when Southeastern takes over at its own 15-yard line with less than two minutes remaining and no timeouts left. Bennett is a perfect 6-for-6 on what is dubbed, “The Drive to Stay Alive”. The Lion signal caller finds sophomore Jeff Smiley to cap the six-play, 85-yard march that took 49 seconds off the clock and gives SLU a dramatic 30-29 victory in its first-ever playoff contest. Southeastern hosts its second playoff game the following week as New Hampshire makes the trek to Hammond, America. The Lions fall just short, as UNH scores a touchdown in the final minute to earn a 20-17 victory and a berth in the FCS semifinals. Bennett provides fans with one last unforgettable moment in the season finale, as he scrambles away from the New Hampshire rush and finds Marquis Fruge’ in the back corner of the end zone. The Bennett play is selected as the No. 1 play on ESPN Sportscenter’s Top Plays of the Day.
Xavier Roberson
Roberson was a consensus All-America selection and CFPA Kick Returner of the Year in 2013. He led the nation with 35.2 yards per kickoff return and three kickoff return touchdowns - which were both new Southland and school single-season records.

Defending Southland Conference Champions ◄The Real Roomie
Southeastern Fight Song
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 well-known and highly-respected football official following his playing days and continued to be an ardent supporter of Southeastern Athletics.
Cheer On The Green And Gold of S-L-U Cheer Our Team On To Victory. We’ve Got To Play This Game To Win The Day, We’ve Got To Play Hard, Get In There And Make It Pay. Its Time To Fight On To A Victory; Stand Up And Roar With All Your Might GO! GO! Lions, GO! Get Out And Fight! Fight! Fight! Hey!!!
Southeastern Alma Mater We hail thee now Southeastern For thee we’ll always stand; Thy eager sons and daughters Form one united band. We’ll sing thy praises ever From sea to shining sea, And love thee Alma Mater Through all eternity.
The 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 (above), a former Southeastern athlete and faculty member, well known throughout the nation as one of the top football officials.

The Spirit of the Southland Marching Band
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.
Spirit Groups
The Southeastern Cheerleaders (right) and Lionettes (below) are an integral part of the athletic atmosphere and provide the athletes and fans alike with a boost through their enthusiasm and spirit. But their work doesn’t end when the game is over as both groups are active in university and community projects.
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.

Retired Numbers Ronnie Hornsby made an immediate impact at Southeastern after an outstanding prep career in which he led the State in rushing yardage his senior season at Greensburg High School. As a four-year starter at linebacker for the Lions, Hornsby was a three-time, all-Gulf States Conference selection, honored in 1968, 1969 and 1970 and was the outstanding lineman in the conference in 1969. He finished his career with seven interceptions and was the leading tackler on the squad each year. He earned all-America honors following his senior season of 1970 and participated in the North-South game scoring the South’s only touchdown on an interception return. Hornsby was inducted into the Southeastern Athletics Hall of Fame in 1974.

Horace Belton, who played little in the last six games of his senior campaign due to injury, finished a brilliant career in 1976 as the state of Louisiana’s all-time leading rusher with 3,222 yards. Belton, who remains ranked second in Southeastern history and 13th in the state, also scored 202 points in his career that set a Southeastern standard. A native of Baton Rouge and former Scotlandville High product, Belton also set Southeastern records for single-season yardage (1,168, 1975), rushing TDs (14, 1974) and points scored in a single-season with 90 (1974). He was inducted into the Southeastern Athletics Hall of Fame in 2003.

Perfect Season - 1946 (9-0-0) Returning to the gridiron for the first time since World War II, the 1946 team turned in Southeastern’s first perfect season recording a 9-0 record and the school’s first of seven conference championships. Under the direction of head coach and administrator E.L. “Ned” McGehee (right), 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, Jerome Davis and Angie Antonelli, earn All-Louisiana Intercollegiate Conference honors while T.J.

Choni Francis’ 22-yard TD reception (inset left) with 6:29 remaining lifted Southeastern to its first victory on the gridiron in 18 years and gave head coach Hal Mumme a triumphant return to the sidelines
“Return Of The Roar”
Southeastern 22, Arkansas-Monticello 17 - 8.30.2003
F
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 24-minute 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, rain-soaked 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 29-of-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

UAM of Division II took a 17-16 lead with 8:45 remaining on a 15-yard touchdown pass from Allred to Devon Stewart.

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.

The River Bell Classic I
n the Fall of 1972, Southeastern Louisiana University was looking for a new rivalry to replace its discontinued Gulf State Conference annual football clash with the University of Southwestern Louisiana (now Louisiana-Lafayette) for the Cypress Mug. The alumni of Sigma Tau Gamma Fraternity felt Nicholls State University, on the Lions schedule for the ’72 season, was a natural choice given the close proximity of the two new Gulf South Conference members, and suggested the River Bell – symbolic of the Mississippi River separating the two schools -- as a trophy to be presented the victorious team. The concept was approved and Sigma Tau Gamma Alumni volunteered to create the trophy. From the Yellow Pages, the Sig Tau alumni located a marine supply store in Metairie and purchased a suitable bell. The trophy base was designed by Hammond Cabinet Works however time didn’t permit the trophy to be completed before the first game. For the inaugural River Bell game, September 30, 1972, the “trophy” to the winner was simply the bell itself. At the presentation were Southeastern President Dr. Clea Parker, Student Body Presidents from both universities, and Sigma Tau Gamma alumni. The Lions defeated the Colonels 31-9 in that first game of the River Bell series and the two Southeastern football captains happily received the Bell. After photographs, the captains were congratulated and asked to share the bell with the rest of the team, but have it back in the Athletic Director’s office on Monday. The players enthusiastically took off for the locker room, down the entire length of the football field, clanging the bell the entire way. It was clear to everyone present the new rivalry was off to a great start. The bell was returned to the A.D.’s office on Monday as promised, and the trophy was subsequently completed. That original trophy has continued to serve as recognition for the annual victor of the River Bell Classic, as the contest has become known over the past 40 years. The coveted trophy returned home to Hammond following the Lions win over the Colonels to close out the 2011 season. That provided the perfect opportunity for the Sigma Tau Gamma alumni -- with the support of officials at Southeastern – to begin planning for the retirement and replacement of the historic trophy. Wes Koon, a local glass artist, Southeastern and Sigma Tau Gamma alumnus, was commissioned to design an appropriate replacement. After some consideration, Wes enlisted the talents of John K. Sammons, a Nicholls graduate, for his craftsmanship with wood. Later, the two approached Bruce Caliva, yet another Sig Tau and Southeastern alum, for his skill with some final woodwork detail. The redesigned trophy has specific elements representing the colors and geographic location of both universities as well as the legendary river separating the two, yet maintains the tradition of the rivalry – the River Bell. Furthermore, the trophy’s constructed of rich cypress indigenous to the unique region of the proud universities. The beautifully fabricated new trophy was first awarded on November 15, 2012 to Southeastern after their victory over Nicholls, 35-16, in Thibodaux. The positive reception the trophy received demonstrated to everyone present the significance of the rivalry to the players of both Universities. In many ways it had the same feel as did the original presentation in 1972 to those who were witness to both games.

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 recently renovated in 2012 with the installation of a new state-of-the art synthetic surface called UBU-Speed Series-S5-M. Other upgrades including a revamped visitor’s locker room and across the board aesthetic improvements. Prior to the 2008 season, a new state-fothe-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 moved into a new facility in 2012. The new venue includes coaches’ offices and team locker rooms that give each team some of the finest facilites in the Southland
Southeastern Tennis Courts
Together We Stand Conference. Located next to the new track and field facility, the refurbished Southeastern Tennis Courts located just north of the heart of the SLU campus continue to improve as well. A new playing surface, along with lockerrooms, a players lounge and coaches’ offices, was completed in time for the 2012 season giving the Lady Lions an impressive on-campus facility. Across campus, the Southeastern Soccer Complex has seen improvements as well. Home to five Southland Conference championship teams, 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. 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, 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.

Strawberry Stadium S
trawberry Stadium returned to glory August 30, 2003, as the Lions took the field for the first time in 18 years. Even as upgrades are made to the venerable facility, fans both old and new will experience the same feeling of “almost being in the game” that the charming stadium has evoked for over half a century.
ORIGIN Strawberry Stadium was constructed in 1937 as part of Franklin D. Roosevelt’s WPA program under project #3014 - Edward F. Neild, D.A. Sondal, and E.F. Neild, Jr. - Architects.
SUCCESS AT STRAWBERRY Since 1946, Southeastern has a 160-95-3 record at Strawberry Stadium which includes nine perfect home records.The Lions winning percentage at home is 62.6 percent.
WINNING SEASONS Of the 51 seasons of football at Strawberry Stadium since 1946, Southeastern has produced a winner 37 times including nine undefeated home campaigns. The last team to go undefeated at Strawberry Stadium was the 1976 squad under head coach Billy Brewer.
IMPROVEMENTS Beginning with the 2012 season, Southeastern plays on UBU-Speed Series-S5-M turf that was used in the Mercedes-Benz Superdome during the 2010 football campaign. The new surface replaced the original SprinTurf surface that was installed prior to the 2003 season. The $525,000 project was paid for with funds provided by the Lion Athletics Association (LAA.)

Athletic Training U
nder the direction of Assistant Athletic Director for Sports Medicine John Erwin, the Sports Medicine program at Southeastern is at the forefront of athletic training in the state and region. Erwin and his staff rely on numerous methods in first preventing injuries and are well-equipped in handling them when they do occur. Through a diligent preventative maintenance program, Erwin’s staff helps to limit injuries through pre-participation physical exams, preventative maintenance rehab programs, taping, bracing and padding and education. When injuries happen to occur, the staff quickly evaluates, diagnoses, and provides care for those injuries with the best interest of the student-athlete in mind. The goal when an injury occurs is to return the student-athlete to his or her previous playing level as quickly and as safely as possible. Southeastern also utilizes a dedicated staff of physicians in various specialties along with other health care professionals many of who donate their time to provide the highest level of care for Lion student-athletes. Southeastern also sports one of the few nationally accredited undergraduate athletic training programs in the state providing student athletic trainers both classroom and on-the-job experience to prepare for a career in sports medicine. The main athletic training facility is located on the second floor of the Dugas Center for Southeastern Athletics and is equipped with a wide variety of evaluation, treatment and rehabilitation equipment. Other venues are located in the University Center (for basketball and volleyball) and North Campus (for soccer and softball).

Sport Performance W
e educate our student athletes to improve daily by providing them the tools to reach their full potential. We do this while teaching the values of hard, intelligent, consistent work. This leads to increased performance capability, decrease injury potential and the development of a total student athlete. One hundred percent is a way of life here at Southeastern. Being a student athlete here, certain things are expected of you. Here at Southeastern, we view giving all out efforts at every practice and training session as the bare minimum. That is what is expected. To go beyond that is to truly be 100%. Being 100% involves doing everything you can to reach your fullest potential, as fast as possible. This involves getting your nutrition on track, performing restoration/ regeneration sessions and working on the individual things you need to be successful in your sport. The Sports Performance department at Southeastern will teach you how to reach 100%. We will set up individual nutrition plans, personalized recovery and rejuvenation sessions, and educate them with signage and presentations about: sleep, travel, nutrition and everything else a student athlete will need to be successful at the collegiate level and beyond. What we expect from our athletes is their absolute best. We expect them to have the same drive and passion for improvement that we do as a staff. Every day that the athlete comes in is a chance for them to improve, and we want athletes that are ready to maximize their time to maximize their abilities.

The Ray A. Naquin Strength and Conditioning Center With a lead gift donated by Southeastern alumni Ray and Ruth Naquin, the 6,000-square foot facility was funded entirely through private donations and dedicated in 2009. The center is used by the student-athletes on all of the university’s 15 intercollegiate men’s and women’s teams. The building was named for Ray Naquin, a Hammond resident and businessman, who played football at Southeastern in 1952-53 before entering military service and graduating from the University in 1958. Improvements to the facility were made in 2011 by the Lion Athletics Association (LAA) as new flooring was installed along with the addition of new equipment.

Athletic History S
outheastern Louisiana University’s storied athletic history dates back to 1930. Now, 15 intercollegiate sports strong, with nearly 330 student-athletes, the Lions are set to enter their 17th year of Southland Conference membership poised for academic and competitive growth into the next century. Southeastern Louisiana University Athletics competes at the Division I level as a member of the NCAA and the Southland Conference (SLC) and sponsors 15 varsity teams - eight women’s and seven men’s. For women, Southeastern sponsors soccer, volleyball, cross country, indoor and outdoor track and field, basketball, softball and tennis. Men’s athletics sponsored are football, basketball, baseball, golf, cross country and indoor and outdoor track and field. Since joining the Southland Conference in the 1997-98 year, Southeastern has won 23 conference championships, including five regular-season crowns in women’s soccer, four regular-season titles in women’s tennis and four men’s golf championships. Southeastern’s athletic history has many notable chapters including winning national championships in men’s outdoor track in 1975 and women’s basketball in 1976-77. Southeastern’s 1954 undefeated football team is well remembered as one of the finest in the school’s gridiron annals, and many former football players have gone on to distinguished careers in the NFL. The 1975 baseball team had a glorious year when they advanced to the Division II College World Series, finishing third in the nation. Today, Southeastern strives to be the best among its peers in the SLC and sister institutions in the proud state of Louisiana. It claimed the Southland Conference Men’s All Sports trophy in 2008-09 and has led all Louisiana institutions in the
Commissioners’ Cup standings in three of the past five years. Southland Conference championships offer Southeastern automatic bids to NCAA post-season play in men’s and women’s basketball, baseball, volleyball, softball, women’s soccer and men’s golf. Southeastern also made its mark in post-season NCAA Championship competition, with the golf team placing 23rd in the nation in the 1998 championship tournament, along with qualifying seven golfers for the NCAA championship tournament and advancing to six NCAA regionals (2000, 2007, 2010, 2011, 2012 and 2013).

The Southland Conference
N
ow in its sixth decade of service, 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. Having commemorated its 50th anniversary in 2013, the Southland Conference has transformed itself into a dynamic and respected consortium of 13 member universities in three states. Beginning with a historic meeting of five institutions in Dallas on March 15, 1963, the Southland Conference set on an extraordinary course that has proven successful well into its five decades of existence. The successful transformation continues, as the Southland Conference welcomed four additional members in 2013: Abilene Christian University, Houston Baptist University, the University of Incarnate Word in San Antonio, and the University of New Orleans. In addition to its newest members, the Southland also consists of the University of Central Arkansas, Lamar University, McNeese State University, Nicholls State University, Northwestern State University, Sam Houston State University, Southeastern Louisiana University, Stephen F. Austin State University and Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi. An original Southland member from 1963-73, Abilene Christian rejoined the league as one of the most decorated athletic programs in NCAA history, and the addition of Houston Baptist, UIW and New Orleans gives the Southland a regular competitive presence in the key metropolitan areas of Houston, San Antonio and New Orleans. Southland cities encompass approximately 14 million people, and six of its television markets rank among the top 100 in the U.S.
150 | www.LionSports.net
All told, the membership of the Southland encompasses nearly 140,000 current students and an alumni base of nearly 800,000. Famous alums from current Southland Conference schools include former CBS news anchor Dan Rather (Sam Houston State), NBA executive Joe Dumars (McNeese State), ABC news anchor Robin Roberts (Southeastern Louisiana), Major League Baseball star Wade Miley (Southeastern Louisiana), NBA legend Scottie Pippen (Central Arkansas), and track and field Olympians Kenta Bell (Northwestern State), and Bobby Morrow and Billy Olson (both Abilene Christian). Other notable alums from current members include Grammy Award-winning musicians Frank Ocean (New Orleans), Don Henley and Rodney Crowell (both Stephen F. Austin), and Ronnie Dunn (Abilene Christian), television personality and actress Ellen DeGeneres (New Orleans), current NFL standouts Lardarius Webb (Nicholls State), Terrence McGee (Northwestern State), and Daniel Manning (Abilene Christian), professional golfers Shawn Stefani and Chris Stroud (both Lamar) and Colin Montgomerie (HBU), award-winning filmmaker Richard Linklater (Sam Houston State), American Idol winner Kris Allen (Central Arkansas), NFL Hall of Famer Jackie Harris (Northwestern State), former NFL standouts Bobby Hebert (Northwestern State), Gary Barbaro (Nicholls State), Wilbert Montgomery (Abilene Christian) and Gary Reasons (Northwestern State), former MLB stars Darryl Hamilton (Nicholls State) and Kevin Millar (Lamar), NCAA football coach Charlie Strong (Central Arkansas), actors John Larroquette (New Orleans), Ricardo Chavira (UIW) and Jesse Borrego (UIW), and the late NFL coaching legend O.A. “Bum” Phillips (Lamar and Stephen F. Austin).
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 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. Continuing its tradition of innovation, the league launched the Southland Conference Television Network in the fall of 2008 and has broadcast more than 160 events. The network has expanded its reach to roughly 13 million households throughout Texas, Louisiana, Arkansas and Oklahoma in recent years, and has also gained national viewership through ESPN3 and Fox College Sports. In its first six years, the network has received recognition for its work, earning numerous College Sports Media and Telly Awards. The Southland Conference, in conjunction with the city of Frisco, Texas, and Hunt Sports Group, also serves as the host to the NCAA Division I Football Championship Game in Frisco, which has been home to the conference headquarters since 2006. The game is played at Frisco’s Toyota Stadium, and after a successful three-year run, the partnership was rewarded with a three-year renewal to serve as the national championship host site through the 2015 season. 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 2013, three Southland teams – Southeastern Louisiana, McNeese State and Sam Houston State – all qualified for the NCAA Division I Football Championship, and in 2011 and 2012, Sam Houston advanced to the national championship game. Also, 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 conference has been represented in eight national championship games since the league joined the FCS (formerly I-AA) in 1982. All told, Southland teams have played in 109 Division I playoff games in 32 years, winning 53 of the contests. Historically, the Southland’s successful football heritage has sustained itself through numerous membership and classification changes. The Southland joined the NCAA College Division in 1964, and was designated as NCAA Division II in 1973 before joining Division I in 1975. The Southland was an NCAA Division I-A league from 1978-81, before joining the ranks of FCS in 1982, its home ever since. During its tenure as a Division I and I-A conference, the Southland Conference initiated the startup of the Shreveport, La.-based 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. The Conference can lay claim to five national championships, including College Division championships through former members Arkansas State (1970, UPI) and Louisiana Tech (1972, National Football Foundation). Louisiana Tech also won the first NCAAsanctioned national title, winning the Division II playoffs in 1973. Tech followed that with the UPI’s Division II national championship in 1974. LouisianaMonroe won the 1987 Division I-AA national championship. McNeese State, which has made 15 appearances in the national playoffs, also played in the 1997 NCAA Division I Championship game, while Stephen F. Austin played in the 1989 title contest and has six playoff appearances, including 2009 and 2010. Sam Houston State has earned seven trips to the football, while Northwestern State has played in the playoffs six times. Nicholls State has participated three times in the playoffs, and Central Arkansas has made consecutive playoff appearances in 2011 and 2012. On five occasions, the Southland has placed three teams in the NCAA playoffs. The Southland has produced 172 first-team football All-Americans during its history and in 2010, Stephen F. Austin quarterback Jeremy Moses became the first player in Southland history to receive the Walter Payton Award, which is presented annually to the most outstanding football player at the FCS level. The Southland is one of five FCS conferences with at least 200 selections (206) in the National Football League draft. There have been 26 Southland players taken in the draft since 2000, including Southeastern Louisiana defensive back Robert Alford, who was picked as the first FCS player in the second round of the 2013 draft. There are over 20 former Southland players on NFL rosters heading into the 2014 season. Southland Conference alums in the NFL include Buffalo’s Terrence McGee (Northwestern State) and Chicago’s Josh McCown (Sam Houston State), who have each been in the league for the last 11 seasons. Other recent NFL additions from the Southland include Green Bay’s Kevin Hughes (Southeastern Louisiana), St. Louis’ Jabara Williams (Stephen F.
Austin) Washington’s Devin Holland (McNeese State), Atlanta’s Marcus Jackson (Lamar), Cleveland’s Dominique Croom (Central Arkansas) and New Orleans’ Tim Flanders (Sam Houston State). The Southland has seen former Nicholls State players win Super Bowl rings in recent seasons, as former Colonel Antonio Robinson was a member of the Green Bay Packers’ Super Bowl XLV champions. And, Nicholls-ex Lardarius Webb was a member of the Super Bowl XLVII champion Baltimore Ravens. Among the former NFL stars from the Southland include Fred Dean, who was inducted to the Professional Football Hall of Fame in 2008 to become the first former Southland Conference player to earn induction in Canton. Other great NFL players from the Southland include Super Bowl XXIX quarterback Stan Humphries, Bill Bergey, Mike Barber, Fred Barnett, Bubby Brister, Ray Brown, Roger Carr, Larry Centers, Bruce Collie, Jackie Harris, Buford Jordan, Tim McKyer, Kavika Pittman, Billy Ryckman, Rickey Sanders, Eugene Seale, Rafael Septien, Terrance Shaw, Leonard Smith, Marcus Spears, Pat Tilley and Marvin Upshaw.

The Southland Conference has also seen its share of great coaches during its history in Maxie Lambright, Ernie Duplechin, Sam Goodwin, Jack Doland, Bennie Ellender, Bobby Keasler, Larry Lacewell, Bill Davidson, Dennis Franchione, Pat Collins, and Ron Randleman. In addition to football, the Southland Conference can point to a number of accomplishments in all sports. Men’s basketball has experienced a tremendous amount of success during the Southland’s 50 years. The league has sent four teams to the NCAA Sweet Sixteen, as well as a squad to the NIT Final Four. Basketball stars Karl Malone, Joe Dumars, Jeff Foster, Dwight “Bo” Lamar, Andrew Toney and Mike Oliver played in the Southland Conference. In 2013-14, Stephen F. Austin set numerous Southland records, including marks for victories in a season (32) and consecutive wins overall (29 straight) and in Conference play (23 in a row), and playing as a 12th seed, knocked off fifth-seeded Virginia Commonwealth, 77-75, in the NCAA’s Second Round. In 2006, Northwestern State, playing as the No. 14 seed in the NCAA tournament, defeated No. 3 seed Iowa, 64-63, in first-round action. The league also saw three of its men’s teams reach the postseason in 2012. Coaches such as Billy Tubbs, Mike Vining, Scotty Robertson, Jack Martin, Andy Russo, Bob Marlin, Danny Kaspar, Mike McConathy, Bobby Paschal and Pat Foster have led very successful teams in the Southland. In women’s basketball, the Southland also has its share of tradition with former member LouisianaMonroe advancing to the 1985 NCAA Women’s Final Four, and Stephen F. Austin sustaining itself as one of the most successful programs in the history of the sport. In 2014, the Ladyjacks became the fifth program in NCAA Division I history to record more than 950 wins. In each of the last five seasons, at least three Southland teams reached the postseason, and in 2013, four women’s squads earned postseason berths. A Southland team has played in the WNIT 14 times, including each of the last eight years. Women’s basketball all-stars have included Eun Jung Lee, Lisa Ingram, Portia Hill, Deneen Parker, Katrina Price, and Joskeen Garner, and coaches such as Gary Blair, Linda Sharp, James Smith and Linda Harper.

Defending Southland Conference Champions Baseball has emerged as a constant Southland Conference strength with the league earning numerous national rankings and NCAA tournament berths. The Southland consistently ranks among the top-10 conferences in the country. In 2011, 50 of the league’s 150 non-conference victories came against the Big 12, Conference USA, Sun Belt and SEC. Major leaguers such as Wade Miley, Paul Goldschmidt, Ben Sheets, Micah Hoffpauir, Hunter Pence, David Segui, Brian Lawrence, Ben Broussard, Chuck Finley, Jerald Clark, and Terry Matthews once played in the Southland. In 2012, Southeastern Louisiana’s Stefan Lopez became the league’s second winner of the national Stopper of the Year Award, which is selected by the National Collegiate Baseball Writers. Sam Houston State’s Luke Prihoda won the award in 2007. Only the Big 12 has had more players win this award. The Southland also fares well each year in the Major League Draft, but for the first time in conference history, two Southland players were selected in the first round of the 2013 draft. Stephen F. Austin shortstop Hunter Dozier was picked eighth by the Kansas City Royals making the Southland player and hitter of the year the league’s top draft pick in any sport. Later in the first round, the Texas Rangers selected Oral Roberts right-handed pitcher Alex Gonzalez, Southland pitcher of the year, with the 23rd overall pick. The Southland has had eight first-round picks in its history. In 2013, Lamar mentor Jim Gilligan became the first Southland coach to reach 1,250 career victories, ranking him sixth-best in the NCAA among active Division I coaches and 14th all-time. He leads an impressive list of coaches who have patrolled Southland Conference dugouts, including Mark Johnson, Mike Bianco, John Cohen, Mitch Gaspard, Smoke Laval, Butch McBroom, Pat Patterson, Tony Robichaux, Dave Van Horn and Jim Wells. Softball continues to enjoy success on a national level, beating nationally-ranked opponents every year since 1995, including McNeese State’s win at No. 1 Arizona State early in the 2012 season. In 2013, the league had six wins against ranked opponents, including wins by McNeese State at No. 7 Alabama and No. 8 Texas A&M. In NCAA tournament competition, the Southland has racked up 15 wins. The Southland also has a proud history in volleyball with former member Texas-Arlington representing the conference numerous times in the NCAA tournament, including a run to the NCAA Volleyball Final Four in 1989. Track and field has also served as a proud asset for the Southland Conference as the league has produced numerous national champions and Olympic medalists. The Southland boasts 28 men and three women student-athletes who have won NCAA track and field national championships, including Northwestern State’s Trecey Rew, who won the women’s discus in 2011, Texas A&M-Corpus Christi’s Shadrack Songok (10,000-meter run) in 2007 and 2008 and McNeese State’s Brad Gebauer (pole vault) in 2007. The league has also produced U.S. Olympic track and field medalists Earl Bell, Thomas Hill, Al Joyner, Charles Austin, and Liudmila Litvinova, along with other Olympians. With the addition of 10 more All-Americans in 2012, the league continues to find national success in both indoor and outdoor track and field. In the indoor circuit, the Southland boasts 66 unique all-time AllAmericans that have won a combined 11 national championships. Likewise, in the outdoor season, the league has seen 158 different All-Americans, including
152 | www.LionSports.net
128 men and 30 women, who have combined to win 21 national championships. Golf has traditionally been a strong Southland sport as exemplified by Lamar men’s golfer Chris Stroud, who finished third individually at the 2003 NCAA National Championship and has 21 top ten PGA finishes since joining pro tour in 2007. Another Lamar alum, Shawn Stefani, had a pair of top seven finishes on the 2013 PGA tour. The league has sent multiple teams into postseason play on numerous occasions, including in 2012 when three Southland teams – Lamar, Southeastern Louisiana and Texas-Arlington – competed in the NCAA tournament. Additionally, during the past five seasons the Southland has sent 12 golfers to compete as individuals in regional play with five in 2009, three more in 2010, one each in 2011 and 2012 and two in 2013. Lamar won a pair of NCAA Division II national championships in 1967 and 1968. In 2005, Lamar’s Dawie Van Der Walt finished fourth individually and Lamar tied for 12th place at the NCAA Men’s Golf Championship, before the Cardinals tied for ninth in 2006 and tied for third in 2007. In women’s tennis, Southeastern Louisiana won 46 consecutive conference matches during a four-year period that began in 2005, while in men’s tennis Texas A&M-Corpus Christi has played in the NCAA tournament six times in the last eight years. The conference has increased sponsorship and championship opportunities for female student-athletes in recent years, adding women’s golf and soccer as league sports. In women’s soccer, Stephen F. Austin midfielder Kylie Louw became the first player in conference history to earn All-America honors, when she earned third-team mention by the National Soccer Coaches Association of America. A member of the South Africa Olympic team during the 2012 London Olympics, she also garnered first-team Academic All-America Honors from the College Sports Information Directors of America. Abilene Christian’s Brie Buschman was a first-team Academic All-American in 2013. In women’s golf, the Southland sent two teams to 2012 NCAA regional play for the first time since the
league added the sport in 2002. Lamar has a leaguebest five Southland championships during that span. The Southland Conference has repeatedly demonstrated its commitment to the academic and athletic success of its student-athletes. With the F.L. McDonald Postgraduate Scholarship Award, the league annually honors one male and one female scholar-athlete with a stipend for postgraduate study. The Scholar-Athlete Award is given to each institution’s male and female student-athlete with the highest grade-point average. The Steve McCarty Citizenship Award, initiated in 2005-06 and named after the former Stephen F. Austin athletic director, properly recognizes accomplishments off the court for a male and female student-athlete. Also, studentathletes with grade-point averages above 3.0 are honored on the Southland’s annual All-Academic teams and Commissioner’s Honor Roll. A total of 856 student-athletes appeared on the honor roll following the 2013 spring semester, and total of 1,553 studentathletes earned a spot on the honor roll at the end of the fall and spring semesters during the 2012-13 academic year. While successful on the fields and courts, the Southland Conference has repeatedly demonstrated its commitment to the academic and athletic success of its student-athletes. The conference continues to make great strides in the classroom. During the last seven years, no other Division I conference has improved its Academic Progress Rate as well as the Southland Conference has. In fact, in 2009-10, the Southland ranked 10th among the 31 Division I leagues in men’s basketball APR. The academic progress the league has shown ultimately leads to higher graduation rates for our student-athletes. In addition to providing expanding opportunities for student-athletes, the Southland Conference and its member institutions are very involved in various community outreach programs. Many of these programs provide positive life skills training such as academics, citizenship and leadership to school-aged students in Southland communities.

Lions In The Community S
ince the return of Southeastern football in 2003, the 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 Associate Head Coach E.K. Franks, the Southeastern football team has performed numerous services throughout the Hammond community. From cleaning up debris left by hurricanes that have affected the area, reading to elementary school children, visiting assisted living centers and volunteering at both the Louisiana Special Olympics and Ladies’ Top 28 High School Basketball Tournament, Southeastern has taken an active role in the Hammond community. Since the arrival of head coach Ron Roberts, the Lions have conducted youth football clinics, assisted Southeastern students move into their dorm rooms during “Traditions Week” and particpated in a “Ladies Boot Camp” that focuses on health and wellness. 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.

Hammond: Crossroads Of The South A
pioneering railroad town, Hammond, Louisiana, 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. Hammond was originally from Sweden, and moved to the area to manufacture products from the resin in pine trees, and ship them to New Orleans. The railroad is the reason behind the city’s success, and in 1854, the New Orleans, Jackson and Great Northern Railroad pumped people and money into this small, pioneer town. A flag station just a block away from the current train depot was called “Hammond’s Crossing” and brought handfuls of new people to town. Peter Hammond was so convinced that the railroad would bring people to the city that he signed a contract with the rail company that forced the trains to stop every time they passed through Hammond. Five years after the railroad came to town, another staple in Hammond’s past arrived. Charles Emery Cate moved his family into the area in 1859 from New Orleans because of the natural springs, lush pine forests, and desirable climate. Cate immediately began to help the city grow. Cate built a factory, sold crossties, tar, and turpentine as well as laying out city streets and planting oak trees along the curbs. During the Civil War, Cate owned a shoe factory that made and shipped shoes to the Confederate Army. His factory sent nearly 45,000 shoes to the soldiers before being found by Union Soldiers who destroyed the factory. At the turn of the 20th century, Hammond struck gold—in the form of red. With the development of the strawberry industry, Hammond saw
154 | www.LionSports.net
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 and 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 was established. 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. Hammond is 30 miles from Baton Rouge, and 53 miles from New Orleans. More shops, restaurants, and culture are less than an hour drive. Small town living with big city flare gives Hammond a lifestyle edge.
