Roberts Expects Lions to Contend for Southland Championship

Southeastern Louisiana head coach Ron Roberts has helped the Lion football program to new heights during his tenure in Hammond.

Entering his fourth season, Roberts will look to lead SLU to its third consecutive Southland Conference championship. The Lions feature another veteran squad in 2015 and Roberts has high hopes for the upcoming campaign.

Roberts sat down with Southeastern Sports Information to discuss the upcoming season.

Sports Information: Earlier in the spring, you commented that the 2015 team had a chance to be better that last season’s Southland Conference championship team. As the season grows closer, do you still feel that way?

Roberts: Yes, I do. We have the right players in the right spots. We have everything in place to contend for a Southland Conference championship and return to the playoffs.

Sports Information: What areas do you have the most confidence in and expect to be strengths for your team in 2015?

Roberts: We’re really excited about what we have returning at running back. We have three really good senior tailbacks in Kody Sutton, Rasheed Harrell and Xavier Roberson. We have all the confidence in the world in all three of these young men. Xavier return-

2015 Outlook

ing full-time to running back makes us deeper at that position. The bottom line is we consider all three starting running backs. They have all proven what they can do and have a vast knowledge of our offense. When you throw in Eugene Bethea and Julius Maracalin, we feel we’ll be featuring a very talented stable of play makers in the backfield.

On the defensive side of the ball, we feel really good about the depth we have in the secondary. In Harlan Miller, Denzel Thompson, Micah Eugene and Jordan Batiste, we have four players on the preseason All-Southland Conference teams. Plus, we have JQ Sandolph, Josh Dakin, Derrick Raymond and Ryan Sigers, who have all seen significant playing time. We think that we’ll go into the season with a legitimate 10 players in the secondary who are pretty darn good and can play anywhere in the Southland Conference. We expect to be very strong in that area.

Sports Information: You have five new assistant coaches on your staff. What do those new additions bring to your program?

Roberts: It’s going to be a real positive for us. Those new guys are going to bring in a fresh perspective and new ideas. That’s something that’s always welcome. We expect our staff to work together to get on the same page and I

think the new members of our staff are getting accustomed to how we do things here. We continue to get better and having five new guys in here with different slants and ideas on things is going to be very beneficial.

Sports Information: Perhaps the biggest storyline heading into the season is having to replace two-time first team All-Southland Conference quarterback Bryan Bennett. How do you feel about the situation under center heading into the 2015 season?

Roberts: We have two quarterbacks in D’Shaie Landor and Larry Cutbirth who can help us win a Southland Conference championship. After the spring, we felt that D’Shaie was clearly the No. 1 guy, but he also has a huge advantage because of his prior knowledge of the offense. We expect Larry to make huge strides in the fall once he gets more familiar with the offense.

Sports Information: Do you see it as a platoon-type situation or will you concentrate on going with one guy?

Roberts: We’ll see. If it’s clear cut that one of them is definitely the guy, then it is what it is. If they both prove that they are going to help us win, they are both going to play. That’s no different than any other position. If they

#LionUp | 7

Two-Time Defending Southland Champions can play, they are both going to play. Are we going to change out, one gets a series, then the other gets a series? No. But if both guys are ready to go, we’re going to play them both. It’s going to be a great competition heading into fall camp.

Sports Information: On defense, it would seem that you have a lot of impact players to replace at linebacker. What are your feelings about that group heading into the fall?

Roberts: We feel really good about where we’re at as far as linebackers go. Herbert Harris moved into the starting lineup last season and he’s back, so we’re excited about what he can do as a senior. Dereck Robinson has started in the past and has a lot of experience and we expect Antreon Bennett to make a big impact for us in his first season. TJ West and Caleb Young are two other guys who have played a lot of snaps for us. So, it’s not like we have an inexperienced group. That being said, it’s also probably our most unproven group. We have guys capable of stepping up, so it’ll be interesting to see who takes control and wins the starting jobs.

Sports Information: Another question mark seems to be the kicking game. For the second straight year, you’re replacing an All-Southland kicker. Harrison Heim was impressive in the spring, but what are your thoughts on that area heading into the fall?

Roberts: Harrison is a really good kicker. The biggest obstacle for him is going to be how he handles the pressure as a freshman. I’ve seen what he can do in practice, but when the lights come on how is he going to handle it? We’re confident in his ability, but we won’t know until we’re out there. There’s going to be some battles in the fall. Jonathan Tatum is going to be in the mix for both the field goal and kickoff job, while Harris Beall is going to push for the punting job.

But, if Harrison’s the best one at all three, he’ll do all three. We haven’t done that in the past, so we’re hoping Jonathan and Harris will step up and help take that weight off him. But, if he has to do all three, he’s mentally strong enough to handle that. I have a lot of faith in him.

Sports Information: As we discussed earlier, running back and defensive back are the standout areas on the roster. What other positions do you see as strengths?

Roberts: Right behind defensive backs and running backs as far as depth and experience go are wide receivers and defensive line. We have eight wide receivers that we can throw out there and we won’t miss a beat. Jeff Smiley is a proven productive receiver that will provide that group with some veteran leadership and we’re going to benefit from the return of Isaiah Kepley after missing last year. Plus, Chris Briggs and Brandon Acker are two newcomers that we think can really make a big impact for us.

If you look at our top six from last year’s two-deep up front on the defensive line, five of them are back. We did lose a great player to graduation in Jacob Newman, but we expect to be stronger up front overall. We’ve added a couple of transfers in Solomon Parker and Miki Fangatua that we expect to be in the mix for starting jobs right away. In addition to A.J. Bowen, Anthony Murphy, Aaron Price,Tupou Aleamotua and Javari Nichols all returning, we’re excited to get Taylor Cochran after he missed all of last season. When he went down, he was our starting nose guard. So defensive line is an area where we think we have a tremendous amount of depth.

We have to take care of business, but our goal is to be in contention for the Southland Conference championship every year. Right now, we see no reason why we won’t be in the mix again this year.

Fourth Year at Southeastern Louisiana • UT Martin, 1990

In just three years at the helm of the Southeastern Louisiana football program, head coach Ron Roberts has helped the Lions reach new heights.

In his first three seasons, Roberts has led the Lions to a 25-12 overall record and a 19-3 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.

The 2014 Lions repeated as Southland Conference champions, sharing the regular season title with Sam Houston State, who defeated SLU in the first round of the playoffs. Senior linebacker Isiah Corbett, junior defensive back Harlan Miller and junior kick returner Xavier Roberson earned AllAmerica honors for a Lion team that finished the season ranked 12th and 14th in the final Football Championship Subdivision polls.

The Lions placed 16 players on the 2014 All-Southland Conference teams, led by Offensive Player of the Year Bryan Bennett. Bennett was joined on the first team by Corbett, Miller, senior offensive lineman Jonathan Braddock and senior kicker Ryan Adams.

Junior offensive lineman Joe Graves and senior defensive end Jacob Newman were both named to the CoSIDA Academic All-District 6 and Southland Conference All-Academic teams. Bennett would go on to represent the Lions at the Senior Bowl and NFL Scouting Combine.

For the third straight season under Roberts, the Lions swept in-state Southland Conference opponents Northwestern State, McNeese State and Nicholls. SLU also picked up conference wins over UIW, HBU, Central Arkansas and Lamar on the way to its second straight league title.

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

#LionUp | 33

Two-Time Defending Southland Champions 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 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 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.

Two-Time Defending Southland Champions

Chet Pobolish Offensive Coordinator

Fourth Year at Southeastern Louisiana • Emporia State, 1999

Chet Pobolish begins his fourth year on the Southeastern Louisiana University football staff and his second 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.

In his first year as offensive coordinator, Pobolish led a Southeastern attack that averaged 40.2 points and 467.0 yards per game for the 2014 Southland Conference champions. Pobolish’s offense was led by Southland Conference Offensive Player of the Year Bryan Bennett (15 rushing touchdowns, 18 touchdowns). Senior wide receiver Devante Scott finished with 1,064 receiving yards and became only the third player in school history to top 1,000 receiving yards.

Bennett, Scott and senior tackle Jonathan Braddock earned All-Southland and All-Louisiana honors under Pobolish’s guidance.

Junior wide receiver Jeff Smiley, junior running back Xavier Roberson and junior guard/center earned All-Southland Conference honors as well.

Both Pobolish’s receiving corps and special teams unit thrived for the 2013 Southland Conference champions. All-Southland Conference performers 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 Roberson and senior place-kicker 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 snap-

per 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 received 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.

During his stint at Delta State, Pobolish was part of a program that won 47 games in five years, won four Gulf South Conference titles and made four appearances in the NCAA Division II playoffs.

He coached All-Americans Trevar Deed (2008-2010), Chad Schroeder (2008) and L.J. Castile (2010) and 15 Statesmen to All-GSC and All-South Region honors.

Pobolish coached All-GSC performers Chance Dennis and Tim Smith in 2011 as the Statesmen offense finished the season with an 11-3 record while finishing 12th nationally in total offense and 21st in passing offense. Under Pobolish’s guidance, Dennis led the GSC with 80 receptions for 1,013 yards while Smith was sixth in the league with 45 catches for 511 yards.

On special teams, Brandon Lucas finished third in the GSC in punt return average and was fourth in kickoff returns. His punter, Andrew Jones, finished second in the league with a 41.9 average, highlighted by a 78-yard kick.

The Statesman Special Teams had a monster year for Pobolish in 2010, as kick returner Maurice Moore shattered the DSU and GSC records kick returns (52) and kick return yardage (1,094) in a season.

Lucas also finished with the third highest return total in school history with 322 yards.

DSU’s receivers also proved to be the best unit in the GSC, as Micah Davis connected with 16 different receivers for a school record 4,097 yards passing. The corps was led by Castile, an All-GSC and honorable mention All-American selection who caught 67 passes for 900 yards and 13 touchdowns. Dennis, a transfer, also grabbed 52 passes for 807 yards and four touchdowns while Moore hauled in 54 passes for 594 yards and three scores.

Pobolish also saw three-time All-American Deed’s career come to a close at Delta State. Pobolish helped Deed engineer one of the top individual careers in school history with the second most receptions in DSU history with 187 while also breaking the school’s scoring record (264 points/44 touchdowns) and all-purpose yardage records (5,144).

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. Deed finished the regular season leading the GSC in scoring with 15 total touchdowns.

In 2008, Pobolish helped the Statesmen offense finish the season ranked second in the GSC (471.9 ypg) and sixth nationally. Led

by All-GSC candidate 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.

Under Pobolish’s direction, Schroeder (WR/PR) was named to the prestigious American Football Coaches Association All-American Team, while Deed was named a First Team All-American after amassing 15 total touchdowns and over 1479 yards of total offense.

Pobolish came to Delta State University from William Penn University in Oskaloosa, Iowa.

The Moundsville, W.V., native spent eight seasons as an assistant coach at Emporia State before moving to William Penn. At ESU, Pobolish coached wide receivers for five years before serving the last three as quarterbacks coach. At ESU, Pobolish directed the Hornets’ quarterbacks to record setting performances including Tad Hatfield’s school-record 3,068 yards in 2004.

Pobolish was also a four-time All-Mid-America Intercollegiate Athletic Association selection at wide receiver for Emporia State from 1995-1998. While at ESU, the speedster hauled in 193 passes, good for fifth all-time in MIAA history. His 2,595 yards receiving also rank fourth on the all-time ESU list. Known as a deceptive and elusive receiver, Pobolish concluded his career with 4,655 all-purpose yards.

He is a 1999 graduate of Emporia State with a degree in Health, Physical Education and Recreation. Pobolish is married to the former Holly Mitchell and they reside in Hammond with their daughter, Lauran.

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.

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. Ladner is ranked sixth in Southeastern history in career scoring with 104 points. His 98-yard interception return versus Florence State in 1961 is the longest in school history and his 95-yard kickoff return versus Louisiana Tech later that season is the second longest in school history.

Ronnie Hornsby, Linebacker, 1970 Hornsby, one of only two Lions to have his number retired (along with Horace Belton), 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 in both 1968 and ‘69 and was the outstanding lineman in the conference in 1969.

All-Americans

Back To Back He finished his career with seven interceptions and was the leading tackler on the squad each year. He earned allAmerica honors following his senior season of 1970.

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 was also credited with a forced fumble and broke up three passes. In 1984, Shepherd made 85 tackles (67 solo), 19 tackles behind the line of scrimmage and seven 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 his-

tory. 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.

Martin Hankins, Quarterback, 2004 Hankins was one of the top quarterbacks in the nation in his sophomore season. He led the nation in passing yards (4,240), completions (357), attempts (540), total offense (387.3 yards per game) and touchdown passes (35). A second-team selection by Don Hansen’s Football Gazette, Hankins’ yardage total was the 5th-highest in I-AA history.

Only the 10th player in I-AA history to pass for more than 4,000 yards in a season, Hankins finished 7th in the voting for the Payton Award, awarded annually to I-AA’s top player.

Felton Huggins, Wide Receiver, 2004 Huggins was a third-team selection by the Associated Press, the Sports Network and Don Hansen’s Football Gazette and a fourth-team pick by CollegeSportsReport.com after finishing the season with 84 catches, 1,313 yards and 13

Duane Floyd is one of two players to lead the Lions in receptions all four seasons.

From 1965-68, Floyd caught 145 passes for 1,994 yards and finished as the school leader in both categories.

Huey Husser was the first player in school history to lead the team in receptions all four seasons. A 1955 All-American, Husser’s 15 career TD receptions currently rank fourth in school history.

David Patterson is one of two players in school history to average over 20 yards per catch in a career. He averaged a school-record 24.2 yards per reception in 1982 and recorded the first 200-yard receiving game in school history.

Kory Theodore is one of three Lions to record more than 2,000 yards receiving in his career. The New Orleans native caught 143 passes (fifth in school history) for 2,072 yards (third in school history).

Bobby Hill caught a single-season record 48 passes in 1972 while averaging over 10 yards per catch. He became a deep threat in his final two seasons and finished with 88 receptions for 1,217 yards.

Brandon Collins played his final two seasons at Southeastern after transferring from Texas and finished seventh in school history in receiving yards (1,621) and eighth in receptions (117). His seven 100-yard receiving games are tied for first in school history.

NCAA INFRACTION NOTICE

On December 10, 2013, the National Collegiate Athletic Association Division I Committee on Infractions has accepted summary disposition of the infractions case originally self-reported 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 self-reported 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 20062007. 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.

On April 9, 2015, The NCAA Committee on Infractions finalized an infractions case for violations stemming from June to July 2013. As a result of the case, Southeastern’s probation period has been extended for one year, ending on December 9, 2018.

Southeastern self-repoted that a former volleyball coach had engaged in impermissible athletically-related activity and impermissible lodging and tryouts for prospective studentathletes.

“Southeastern Louisiana University received final confirmation by the NCAA Infractions Committee that stemmed from self-reported violations related to recruiting and practice irregularities in the university’s women’s volleyball program during the spring and summer 2013,” Artigues said. “The university self-reported the five violations to the NCAA following a thorough internal investigation, which led to the resignation of the then-Head Volleyball Coach.

Southeastern has accepted the penalties and corrective actions imposed by the NCAA. “Our athletics program is committed to complete compliance with all NCAA rules and legislation,” Artigues added.

“Intentional disregard for this responsibility will be dealt with firmly and swiftly.”

Two-Time Defending Southland 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.

Football History

Back To Back 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

Galloway leads Lions to the first of six GSC Championships in 10 years at the helm as the team goes 6-1-2 with the only loss coming to Mississippi Southern (now Southern Miss), 20-12.

Stan Galloway 1953

Led Southeastern to six Gulf States Conference titles in 14 years as head coach

Football History

The Lions win the GSC championship for the second consecutive season with a 6-3 mark and set the table for what would rival the 1946 team as the most successful in Southeastern history.

1954▲ 14 7 7 6 6 6

130 68 65 64 63

84 42 38 30 25 25

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.

1956

Southeastern goes 6-3 en route to winning its third GSC title in four years. The Lions open the season with three straight shutouts but struggle during the meat of the season before winning their final two games -- over McNeese and Northwestern State -- to claim the crown.

1957-58

Southeastern has two losing seasons -- the only ones under Galloway -- going 2-6-1 in 1957 and 4-5 in 1958.

C.J. Alexander is named All-American in 1958.

.672 .662 .658 .609 .552

#LionUp | 97

Two-Time Defending Southland 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.

Back To Back 1965-75

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.

1976

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.

Horace Belton

Finished his career in 1976 as the leading rusher in the state of Louisiana with 3,222 yards

1977-79

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.

Two-Time Defending Southland 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.

A two-time All-American, Shepherd earns first-team KODAK honors as a defensive lineman in 1985 and eventually signs with the NFL’s Dallas Cowboys

1985

Southeastern’s final year of football prior to the program being discontinued. The Lions struggle to a 2-9 mark.

As a highlight, the Lions manage to win their first-ever Gulf Star Conference game with a 20-14 victory over Northwestern State in the second to last game of the year. In what was to become the Lion’s final game for the next 18 years, Kervin Fontenette returns an interception 100 yards for a touchdown to give Southeastern the lead but Nicholls State roars back in the final minutes to steal a 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.

2001

Southeastern President Sally Clausen announces an extension to the already successful Campaign for Excellence which will focus on athletics. Involved in the plan to raise $5 million, is the re-instatement of a football program at Southeastern.

2002

Southeastern President, Randy Moffett, who served as provost under Clausen, and athletics director Frank Pergolizzi announce on May 21 the success of the campaign and that the Lions will resume playing football as a Division I-AA Independent for the 2003 season after a hiatus of nearly 18 years.

Huren Sets An NCAA Record

In two seasons with the Lions, linebacker Damien “Putt” Huren recorded a school-record 16.5 sacks including a single-season record 12 in 2004. Huren set a single-game NCAA record with six sacks in a win against Northern Colorado

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.

Football History

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.

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.

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!

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.

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

Josh Taylor led the Lions with 10 receptions for 97 yards, as 11 different receivers caught passes in Mumme's pass-oriented offense.

Allred started at quarterback and was 16-of-31 for 250 yards, but he missed the third quarter with an injury.

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

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

Back To Back 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 166-95-3 record at Strawberry Stadium which includes 10 perfect home records. The Lions winning percentage at home is 63.2 percent.

WINNING SEASONS Of the 52 seasons of football at Strawberry Stadium since 1946, Southeastern has produced a winner 38 times. Prior to the 2014 Southland Conference Championship season, 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 Interim Head Athletic Trainer Jessica VanSweden, the Sports Medicine program at Southeastern is at the forefront of athletic training in the state and region.

VanSweden and her staff rely on numerous methods in first preventing injuries and are wellequipped in handling them when they do occur.

Through a diligent preventative maintenance program, VanSweden’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).

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.

The Southland Conference W

ell into 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 and approximately 4,200 student-athletes.

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 the 21st Century.

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.

The Southland Conference

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 full championship

sports, all at the NCAA Division I level. The eight men’s sports include baseball, basketball, cross country, football, golf, tennis, and indoor and outdoor track and field. The women compete for nine championships in basketball, cross country, golf, soccer, softball, tennis, indoor and outdoor track and field, and volleyball. The conference earns automatic qualification to NCAA championships in baseball, men’s and women’s basketball, men’s and women’s cross country, football, men’s and women’s golf, women’s soccer, softball, men’s and women’s tennis, and volleyball. The Southland Bowling League, an affiliated Conference sport, originated in 2015, and four of its members filled out half of the eight-team bracket, with Stephen F. Austin advancing to the national title match.

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 seven 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.

nation, and enjoys an annual expectation of competing for the national championship with multiple teams advancing to the NCAA playoffs each year. In 2014, three Southland teams – Southeastern Louisiana, Sam Houston State and Stephen F. Austin– 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 115 Division I playoff games in 33 years, winning 56 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. Louisiana-Monroe won the 1987 Division I-AA national championship.

McNeese State, which has made 15 appearances in the NCAA Division I playoffs, played in the 1997 NCAA Championship game, while Sam Houston State has earned eight trips to the football playoffs, most recently advancing to the 2014 national semifinals. Stephen F. Austin played in the 1989 NCAA title contest and has seven total playoff appearances, including 2009, 2010 and 2014. Northwestern State has advanced to the NCAA playoffs six times, Nicholls State has participated three times in postseason, Southeastern Louisiana played in the 2013 and 2014 NCAA Championships, and Central Arkansas made consecutive playoff appearances in 2011 and 2012. On six occasions, the Southland has placed three teams in the NCAA playoffs.

The Southland has produced 177 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 (208) in the National Football League draft. There have been 28 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 more than 15 former Southland players on NFL rosters heading into the 2015 season.

Southland Conference alums in the NFL include Cleveland’s Josh McCown (Sam Houston State), who has been in the league for the last 12 seasons, and Baltimore’s Lardarius Webb, who is currently

the second-longest tenured player with six seasons of experience. Other recent NFL additions from the Southland include New England’s Kevin Hughes (Southeastern Louisiana) and Dax Swanson (Sam Houston State), Seattle’s Jeremy Lane (Northwestern State), Chicago’s Malcolm Bronson (McNeese State), Atlanta’s Robert Alford (Southeastern Louisiana) and Washington’s Chase Dixon (Central Arkansas).

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 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. Both Dean and Smith are recent inductees to the College Football Hall of Fame.

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 52 seasons.

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 saw a record five men’s basketball teams reach the postseason in 2015.

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 six 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 15 times, including each of the last nine years. Women’s basket-

Back To Back ball 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.

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 2014, Lamar mentor Jim Gilligan became the first Southland coach to reach 1,300 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, 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 four women student-athletes who have won NCAA track and field national championships, including Stephen F. Austin’s Demi Payne, who won the 2015 women’s pole vault, Northwestern State’s Trecey Rew, who won the women’s discus in 2011, Texas A&M-Corpus Christi’s Shadrack Songok (men’s 10,000-meter run) in 2007 and 2008 and McNeese State’s Brad Gebauer (men’s 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 All-Americans that have won a combined 11 national championships. Likewise, in the outdoor season, the league has seen 158 different All-Americans, including 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 seven times in the last nine 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, and Stephen F. Austin’s Megan

Glick earned the same honor in 2014.

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 male and female scholar-athletes with a stipend for postgraduate study. The Scholar-Athlete Award is given to each institution’s male and female studentathlete 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, student-athletes 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 studentathletes appeared on the honor roll following the 2013 spring semester, and total of 1,553 student-athletes 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 decade, 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.

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.

Athletic Administration A

fter a successful eight-season stint as Southeastern Louisiana University’s head baseball coach, Jay Artigues was named the school’s Director of Athletics on October 14, 2013.

Named one of the rising head coaches in the college game prior to the 2013 season,Artigues helped build a foundation of success for the Southeastern baseball program and now is doing the same for the entire athletic department.

In his first year on the job, he presided over arguably the greatest athletic year in Southeastern history.The Lions and Lady Lions brought home five conference championships, the most the school has ever won in a single year.

The Lion football program ran through the Southland Conference with an undefeated record, advanced to the FCS playoffs for the first time, picked up the first playoff win in school history and finished the season with an 11-3 overall record.

Lady Lion Soccer won the Southland Conference Tournament and advanced to the NCAA Tournament for the second time in school history.

The Southeastern men’s track & field program won both the indoor and outdoor Southland Conference titles, marking the first time in school history the Lions had swept through the conference.

Lion Baseball continued its run of success, rallying under the leadership of Artigues protege Matt Riser to win the Southland Conference Tournament and advance to an NCAA Regional for the first time in 20 years.

Under Artigues, Lion baseball established itself as a growing force in the region by producing three All-Americans, four Freshman All-Americans, a Capital One Academic All-American, the NCBWA National Stopper of theYear, the Southland Conference’s Player, Hitter, Relief Pitcher and Freshman of theYear, numerous All-Conference and Southland All-Academic players as well as Southeastern single-season and career record holders.

In 2012, Southeastern racked up several national,

Leading the way were conference player and hitter of the year Brock Hebert, relief pitcher of the year Stefan Lopez and freshman of the year Andro Cutura.

Lopez was named the 2012 National Stopper of the Year by the National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association after establishing both Southeastern and the Southland’s single-season and career saves records, while he and Hebert each earned four All-America honors. Cutura, who won his final six decisions, was also named a Freshman All-American.

Former Lion Wade Miley, a 2009 first-round pick of Arizona, represented the Diamondbacks in the 2012 Major League Baseball All-Star Game and was a finalist for the National League Rookie of theYear Award. He was honored by the Sporting News as their Rookie of theYear for the National League.

In 2011, the Lions garnered national attention as they took two of three games from Florida International to open the season and ended Garrett Wittels attempt to break the Division I consecutive-game hit-streak record.The next weekend Southeastern earned wins over SEC-power Alabama, Central Florida and South Alabama.

Artigues was named the LSWA Co-Coach of the Year in 2010 as the Lions set another school first after being nationally ranked at the Division I level.The Lions were nationally ranked for eight straight weeks, reaching as high as No. 17.

Prior to becoming the 15th head baseball coach in Southeastern’s history,Artigues spent four seasons at Pearl River Community College where he posted a 168-51 record.The Wildcats won three conference championships and advanced to the JUCO World Series during his tenure.
