THIS IS THE SAC The South Atlantic Conference is in its 33nd year of athletic tradition and excellence. The conference has enjoyed tremendous success due to dedicated people building a premier athletic conference throughout its history. The distant forerunner of the South Atlantic Conference was the North State Atlantic Conference (NSIAC). The NSIAC was formed when the “Little Six”, as it was called, broke from the North Carolina Intercollegiate Athletic Conference in 1930. These charter members included LenoirRhyne College, Atlantic Christian, Catawba College, Guilford College, Elon College, and High Point University. The North State continued to grow over the next 30 years, adding Western Carolina (1933), East Carolina (1947) and Pfeiffer (1960). A name change became necessary when the league accepted Newberry as its first South Carolina member in 1961. The league took on the name Carolinas Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (CIAC) on May 20th of that year. The CIAC saw several changes in the following years as East Carolina withdrew from the league in 1962. Appalachian State and Western Carolina followed in 1971 and 1976. All three landed in the Southern Conference. The South Atlantic Conference was founded in 1975 solely as a football conference. The league received its name from a contest in which Kurt Brenneman of Greensboro, NC became the first to submit the SAC-8 moniker. The SAC-8 consisted of Carson-Newman College, Catawba College, Elon College, Gardner-Webb University, Lenoir-Rhyne College, Mars Hill College, Newberry College, and Presbyterian College. Dr. Fred Bentley, of Mars Hill College, was named league president for its inaugural year, by a vote of the member institutions. After the first season of play in the SAC-8, the Bears of Lenoir-Rhyne College captured the first football title.

Key dates in SAC history u 1930 – North State Atlantic Conference formed when six schools broke from the North Carolina Intercollegiate Athletic Conference u 1961 – Newberry joins league. Conference changes name to Carolinas Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (CIAC) u 1975 – South Atlantic Conference formed as football league with eight schools, called the SAC-8. u 1988 – Wingate replaces Newberry u 1989 – SAC became an all-sports conference u 1996 – Newberry rejoins conference u 1998 – Tusculum joins conference u 2006 – Lincoln Memorial joins conference u 2007 – Brevard admitted as provisional member u 2008 – Patrick Britz named Commissioner
In 1989, the league’s 15th year of operation, the South Atlantic Conference became a comprehensive, all-sports conference. Doug Echols was named the league’s first Commissioner. That year the South Atlantic Conference sponsored 10 sports - football, men’s and women’s basketball, baseball, softball, men’s soccer, volleyball, men’s golf, men’s and women’s tennis. Later the conference grew to 14 championship sports by adding women ‘s soccer (1990), men’s and women’s cross country (1993) and women’s golf (1999). The South Atlantic Conference was com-
posed of the same eight member institutions from 1975 until 1988, when Wingate University replaced Newberry College as the eighth member institution. Newberry later rejoined the conference in 1996. In July of 1998, Tusculum College was admitted as a member of the league, and Lincoln Memorial University began play in the conference in the 2006-07 academic year. Brevard College was admitted as a provisional member in 2007. In 2008, Echols retired after serving as Commissioner for 19 years and Patrick Britz was hired as the new Commissioner. Today the conference is a group of nine private, liberal and civic arts colleges and universities, similar in size and athletic philosophy. Since becoming eligible for NCAA Division II postseason play in 1993, the league has sent representatives from all of its sponsored sports to NCAA postseason play. The league membership now includes Brevard College in Brevard, N.C.; CarsonNewman in Jefferson City, TN; Catawba College in Salisbury, NC; Lenoir-Rhyne University in Hickory, NC; Lincoln Memorial University in Harrogate, TN; Mars Hill College in Mars Hill, NC; Newberry College in Newberry, SC; Tusculum College in Greeneville, TN; and Wingate University in Wingate, NC.

The Echols Athletic Excellence Award is symbolic of the most successful athletic department following each South Atlantic Conference sports year. The award is presented annually to the athletic department that earns the highest overall finish based on regular season standings throughout the year. Points are awarded on a 9-8-7-6-54-3-2-1 system based on the final regular season standings for each sport. The trophy is presented at the SAC Annual Meeting each June. The award was named in honor of former Commissioner Doug Echols, who retired in 2008 after serving 19 years as the league’s first full-time Commissioner. Wingate University won the 200708 award, taking the trophy for the second year in a row.

WU’s Atkinson named CCA Scholar-Athlete Of The Year ROCK HILL, SC – Wingate University senior women’s basketball player Anna Atkinson is the recipient of the 2007-08 NCAA Division II Conference Commissioners’ Association Female Scholar-Athlete of the Year Award, it was announced by the CCA. Atkinson recorded a perfect 4.0 cumulative grade point average through her junior year as a biology major and led the Wingate University women’s basketball team to the NCAA Division II Elite Eight. A native of Marion, N.C., Atkinson earned the South Atlantic Conference Female Athlete of the Year Award and the South Atlantic Conference Presidents’ Award, presented to the conference’s top female scholar-athlete. She is only the third person in conference history to win both of the league’s prestigious post-season awards. She becomes the first SAC student-athlete to be honored with the national CCA Scholar-Athlete of the Year Award. “Anna Atkinson represents everything that is good about intercollegiate athletics. This is a great honor for her and the South Atlantic Conference is extremely proud of her accomplishments in the classroom and the basketball court,” South Atlantic Con-
ference Commissioner Patrick Britz said. Atkinson was also the 2008 South Atlantic Conference Women’s Basketball Player of the Year after leading the Bulldogs with 14.8 points per game and 8.4 assists per game. She was second in the country in assist-to-turnover ratio (3.27) third in assists and fifth in steals (3.7 per game). Atkinson also was named the MVP of both the Food Lion SAC Tournament and the NCAA Division II South Atlantic Regional Tournament this past year. Atkinson is one of only three NCAA Division II student-athletes to earn All-American honors on the court and in the classroom during the 2007-08 season. She was named to the 2007-08 Daktronics Division II women’s basketball All-American third team and to the ESPN the Magazine/ CoSIDA Academic All-America women’s basketball first-team (college division). “Anna Atkinson defines the term scholar-athlete,” said Wingate University President Dr. Jerry McGee. “She is an extraordinary basketball player and a distinguished academic student. She beautifully represents what the NCAA Division II is all about…a balance between academics and athletics.” “Anna is an incredible young women

BREVARD TORNADOS Warriors – that is the theme of the season for the Brevard College men’s basketball team in 2008-09, as head coach Michael Jones returns 11 out of 12 players from a year ago that posted a 4-24 record overall as provisional members of the NCAA Division II and the South Atlantic Conference. The Tornados return 11 players from last season’s team, but will only have the services of eight of those returnees as three will redshirt this season. However, all five starters, which started all 28 games in 200708, return headlined by Preseason All-SAC Second Team selection Jonathon Whitson (Clyde, N.C.). Jonathan Whitson Junior forward Last season Whitson led the Tornados and was third in the SAC in scoring, averaging 18.0 points per game and was the number one option offensively. The junior forward also led the team and was in the top-five of the conference in rebounding, hauling in 7.9 per game. Again helping Whitson in the low post is senior Joseph Chilton (Brasstown, N.C.). The 6-8 Chilton started in all 28 games last season and was the leading scorer in two games last season, one of those being the Tornados 74-68 win over Newberry on February 27. Help in the low post this season will come in a big way in 6-10 Sam Carlisle (Raleigh, N.C.). The redshirt junior, who sat out last season after transferring from Wingate University, brings both size and leadership to the frontcourt for the Tornados. At the other forward position a number of returners and newcomers will bring much
needed depth to the BC lineup. Returning from a year ago is senior Sean Ferretti (Buffalo, N.Y.), Shane Galloway (Rosman, N.C.) and Radosav Babic (Podgorica, Montenegro). At 6-6, Ferretti has long arms and quick feet which make him one of the top defenders in the league. Galloway, the sixth man from a year ago, will again see time off the bench for the Tornados, as the sharp-shooting lefthander averaged 7.9 points per game and shot 35.9 percent from the three-point line. Sharpshooting Babic finished the season shooting 40.5 percent from behind the arc. Newcomer Michael Gist (Hephzibah, Ga.), a wide receiver on the Tornados football team, will compete for playing time as soon as football season ends. Gist has incredible timing to go along with a soft touch around the basket and quick hands which can cause match up difficulties. At the guard spots, the Tornados are deep as Coach Jones’ has a plethora of individuals both returners and newcomers that will compete for immediate playing time. Returning in 2008-09 is point guard Cody Siniard (Brevard, N.C.), shooting guard Andrew Freeman (Asheville, N.C.) and guard Chase Lance (Brevard, N.C.). Last season, redshirt junior Siniard ran the offense for the Tornados, starting all 28 games. Siniard averaged 5.5 points per game, while dishing out 118 assists. Freeman, his backcourt running mate, is a 6-6 shooting guard who can also play small forward. Freeman, an outside threat, hit 35.1 percent of his three point attempts a year ago, connecting on a team-high 54 threes. Lance, who saw action sparingly a year ago, has worked hard in the off-season and will look to compete for playing time in a crowded backcourt.
Jonathan Whitson Depth and competition for playing time will come from a number of new faces highlighted by redshirt juniors Nathan Whitmire (Rosman, N.C.) and Darin Dellinger (Stanley, N.C.). Both Whitmire, a 6-4 point-forward, and Dellinger, a 5-11 speedster, sat out last season. In 2006-07, Whitmire started in 23 games as a sophomore where he averaged 7.9 points and 4.7 rebounds per game, while Dellinger started nine games, playing 21.9 minutes per game and averaged 6.6 points 2.3 assists per game as a sophomore. Newcomers Christian Matus (Miami, Fla.), who did not play last season, along with freshmen Terrence Johnson (Owensboro, Ky.) and Richard Bush (North Augusta, Ga.) will all compete for playing time.

CARSON-NEWMAN EAGLES The Carson-Newman Eagles enter the 2008-’09 basketball season with their highest level of expectations the last half-decade. C-N returns three starters from last season’s squad which set the South Atlantic Conference record for points per game at 90.3. Chemistry and injuries could be the keys, as Eagle head coach Dale Clayton begins his 21st season with one of his most-talented squads. A trio of All-SAC performers from a season ago is expected to lead way, beginning with the point guard spot, and junior Jordan Dixon. The Clinton, Tenn.-product struggled Jordan Dixon Junior guard with the lasting effects of a concussion suffered in a loss at Lenoir-Rhyne in mid-February, but still managed to average 10.3 points per game, and lead the Eagles with 114 assists. The first team All-SAC preseason selection is expected to lead the Eagles. Sophomore Cameron Sharpe, an AllSAC Freshman Team selection from 200708 will backup Dixon, and could see time at the two guard. Senior Bobby Guyton, a second team AllSAC selection, gives the Eagles a returning double-digit scorer in the post. He averaged 10 points and 5.9 boards, which led the team, a season ago. His season, and likely an NCAA Tournament berth for the Eagles, fell to the floor when he crumbled to the floor with a foot injury in the waning seconds in a
win at Newberry in early February. Guyton averaged 16 points and 11.5 boards in his final two games of the year, wins over Catawba and Newberry. With just one semester of availability left, he will join the Eagles in December. Seniors Jesse McMurray and Andrew Johnson return for their final season. McMurray, one of the SAC top sharpshooters, buried a combined 12 threes in back-toback C-N wins over Mars Hill and North Greenville last season. He finished the year shooting 43 percent (76-of-179) from behind the arc, averaging nine points per game. Johnson is a combo-guard, who turned in 7.9 points per game and led the Eagles with 55 steals, and will draw the Eagles’ toughest defensive assignment at guard each night. Sophomore Adam Plavich will move to his natural position, shooting guard, after experimenting at point at a freshman. He, like McMurray, has unlimited range. Inside, senior Zach Hyatte and sophomore Kevin Hare will play key roles. Hyatte averaged 7.3 points per game as a junior, and was one of four Eagles to play in every game. Sophomore Justin Walker worked his way into the rotation some late in his freshman year, and could also see time. While what C-N returns from last season’s 18-win squad has Mossy Creek excited, the newcomers to the Eagle program are the ones expected to help push C-N back to the NCAA Tournament. Junior Joey Cameron is an Auburn transfer, and should be the “difference-maker” on
Andrew Johnson
the low block. Junior college-transfers Darron Maxtion and Tray Okoth will join Cameron in the post. True freshmen Khamori Watts and Jared Stephens will be two of the Eagles most-athletic guards. Watts is a combo-guard, while Stephens is a true point. Freshmen John Kinman and Michael Nicolo will both work to find their way into Clayton’s rotation.

CATAWBA INDIANS The 2007-08 season was looked at as a rebuilding year after losing three key starters from the 06-07 league championship team, but the Indians caught fire at the end of the season and as a fourth-seed made a run through the conference tournament to gain a title and a secondstraight berth into the NCAA II Tournament. The team will return four starters from last year and once again look to be in contention for a title. Catawba will field a strong back court as four guards saw action in the starting lineup last season. Heading the list is sharp-shooter Antonio Houston. The junior eclipsed the 1,000-point plateau last season become just the third Catawba player to achieve the milestone before his junior season. The for- Antonio Houston mer South Atlantic Conference Freshman Junior guard of the Year averaged 17.7 points per game and connected on 60 three-point goals in earned first team all-league honors. Sophomore Dominick Reid followed Houston as the conference Freshman of the Year, taking over point guard duties in mid-season. He scored at an even 10 points per game and added three assists a contest. He hit on 53 three-point goals, including several in late-game clutch situations. Joining the duo are juniors Rob Fields and Donzell Williams. Fields started 21 games and was second to Houston in scoring at 11.1 points a game. He hit on 39 three-pointers and canned 82.4 percent of his free throw attempts. Williams had 29 starts and averaged 4.8 points and 3.9 rebounds. Down low, the Catawba Indians lost the services of Norman Monroe. Monroe averaged 10.9 points and

pulled down 5.2 rebounds a game. Isaac Rose and swingman Donald Rutherford each saw time as a starter. Rose averaged 9.7 points a game and hit on 32 three-point goals. Rutherford tossed in 6.7 points and led the squad in rebounding at 5.8 a game. Cliff Burns also gave the Indians depth last season in the post. He scored four points a game and shared the lead on the team with 29 blocked shots. More depth on the roster comes from post Finnur Magnusson and guard Trey Shoemaker. - Jim Lewis

LENOIR-RHYNE BEARS The Lenoir-Rhyne University men’s basketball team continues to interchange parts on the squad to help it maintain its perch atop of the South Atlantic Conference. The Bears (23-7 overall and 12-2 in league play in 2007-08), winners of four of the last six SAC regular season titles, had one of their best seasons in recent memory last year. A 12game winning streak, a league title and a berth in the NCAA Division II Regional Semifinals highlighted the 2007-08 campaign. This season, expect a bit of a different squad with a new starter and three newcomers, but expect the results to be more of the same under 23-year mentor and SAC Coach Of The Year John Lentz. Josh Rudder Although anybody Senior guard losing two first-team allconference players (Josh Kindred and Reggie Bratton) will see a drop off, the Bears appear well-positioned to keep things at a high level in the frontcourt. Senior forward Donte Watson, who has started at times in each of his first three years, is the most experienced player returning up front. Watson, the 2005-06 SAC Freshman Of The Year, may not have spectacular numbers (4.6 ppg and 2.5 rpg) but has been a consistent and heady player for L-R. Sophomore forward D.J. Blackmon has outstanding athletic ability. Blackmon (5.4 ppg and 2.8 rpg) has a tremendous upside and could develop into of the best players not only on the team but in the conference.
One of the key components to last year’s title run was the arrival at mid-season of senior Elliott McDowell. With the ability to score 20 to 25 points off the bench, the talented reserve averaged 11.7 points per game and quickly developed into one of the best players on the team. McDowell, an allleague preseason pick despite not starting in 2007-08, could see him numbers improve even more if he transitions to the first string. Junior forward Jonathan Cook, in his fourth year with the Bears, gives L-R an option behind the three-point line and can either start or come off the bench. Lenoir-Rhyne has a lot of depth in the front court as well with the return of sophomore forwards Nathaniel Shaw, J.P. Haumann and Paul Goldsmith. Freshman forward Jeff Thomas is a nice recruit who combines size and the ability to shoot the mid-range jumper. Anything junior center Julius Powell brings will be a plus for the Bears. The Clemson University transfer may figure prominently into L-R’s plans. The entire backcourt remains intact and should only get stronger and deeper. The team runs through fifth-year senior Josh Rudder, who looks to end his career in impressive style. The two-time All-SAC honoree plays both point and off guard and his deft ability and speed has been an asset for the Bears and a headache for opponents. Rudder can score (14.0 ppg in 2007-08), pass (3.8 apg) and hit free throws (80 percent) and can help carry the team to another title. Not to be outdone is junior guard Marcus Hodges. Hodges stepped right into the
Josh Rudder
starting lineup and didn’t flinch, averaging 8.2 points per game and hitting 84 percent of his free throws. Junior guard Ryan Crawford is an excellent athlete who can raise eyebrows with his offensive moves and his ability to pass. Look for Crawford (4.9 ppg) to score more this season. Sophomore Ja’Wan Davis saw a promising first season derailed because of injury but should be back at 100 percent this year. Freshman guard Jon Hathcock is a highlytouted recruit and fifth-year senior A.J. Brown provides leadership and could be an asset off the bench.

LINCOLN MEMORIAL RAILSPLITTERS The 2008-09 season marks the beginning of a new era in Lincoln Memorial University men’s basketball. With an entirely new coaching staff, 17 new players and only three returning players from a year ago, this year’s Railsplitter basketball team will have many hurdles to overcome. LMU has three returnees led by 6-3 guard Ryan Whitaker. Whitaker averaged 11.1 points per game as a freshman on his way to earning South Atlantic Conference All-Freshman Team honors last season. “I expect Ryan to be a tremendous leader for us and he is certainly our most experienced player,” says Railsplitter Head Coach Josh Schertz. Also back for the Railsplitters are seniors Wadner Joseph and Matt Bogard. Joseph averaged 7.7 ppg. last year, while Bogard chipped in 4.0 ppg. for LMU. “Matt has become a leader for us on and off the Ryan Whitaker court and as our best perimeter defender he should Sophomore guard compete for minutes at the guard spot. Wadner is continuing to improve and while he showed some flashes last year as evidence by his 28 point performance against Carson-Newman, we are hoping to see more consistency out of him as a senior.” The Railsplitter coaching staff brought in 15 newcomers headlined by local product and University of Louisville transfer Stuart Miller who comes to LMU after a highly decorated high school career. “Stuart is a tremendous shooter and will make an immediate impact for us.” Other transfers include Robin Sikes (UNCW), D’Mario Curry (Schoolcraft JC) and Josh Stanley (Spartanburg Methodist College). “Robin is a very good player who has improved his physical conditioning leaps and bounds over the last few months. He gives a back-to-the-basket scorer with the ability to shoot the ball from the perimeter. D’Mario Curry is the most talented player I have had the opportunity to coach and if he continues to work hard I can see him making a major impact not only on our team but in the South Atlantic Conference. Josh Stanley is a versatile forward who is not only a great shooter, but possesses a high basketball IQ and some toughness.” The freshman class will be the foundation of the program as it moves forward. “We have some talented freshman guards in Brandon Armstrong (Chamblee High School), Justin Allen (Grove Hill High School), Carlos Sanford (Riverside High School), Dominic Parker (Ravenscroft High School), and Brandon O’Brien (Chamblee High
Ryan Whitaker School). “I feel like we recruited some guards that are interchangeable and that fit our system perfectly,” says Schertz. “Given the lack of returners, we are going to have to count on some freshman to play major roles and I think some of these guys will be up to the task.” Other newcomers to the front line include Desmond Johnson (Cumberland High School), Scott Erland (Harpeth High School), and Tony Martin Moeller High School). “These three guys have worked exceptionally hard and are really talented. They obviously will go through some growing pains as they develop, but I am excited to watch them develop over the next few years.” Other newcomers include Kyle Witek (High Point University), Andy Hill (Milligan College), Ivan McCarty (Union Co. High School and Jason Hull Lincoln High School) who will red shirt. “We have good depth and that should allow our practices to be tough and competitive. I like everything about this team except for its lack of experience, but that will force us to learn by being thrown right into it. Hopefully we will get better as the year goes along and be at our best come tournament time.” - Rusty Peace

MARS HILL LIONS Mars Hill finished the 2007-08 campaign 14-16 overall and 5-9 in the South Atlantic Conference. The Lions finished strong as they made it to the finals of the SAC Tournament where they fell to Catawba College by just two points (54-52). MHC returns four starters and 10 letter winners for the 2008-09 season. The Lions are also under the direction of new head coach Thomas Nash, who took the reins in May. The goal for the upcoming year is to be competitive in every game. That is the team’s main focus: to compete. “We’ve got enough talent to do that and we have a lot of camaraderie,” Nash said. “As far as the conference, we want to finish in the upper half of the league. We want to play until we’re not allowed to play anymore. We want an NCAA berth, regional recognition, and national recognition. Those Jamarl Glen are the goals hopefully we Senior forward get to, and we’ve got a core group of guys with six seniors that are going to lead us with a sense of urgency which helps to achieve our goals. Another goal is to play a brand of basketball that is exciting for them to play, to watch, and be a part of. We are going to have to play very hard and consistent on both ends of the floor. The team definitely feels a winning season in within reach.” Jamarl Glen, a first team preseason AllSAC pick, is a post player who can face the basket from 20 feet out as well as play with his back to the basket. Andy Miller is a senior and brings a
tenacious work ethic. He is a force inside and has the ability to score and defend at the center or power forward position. Akeene Coakley is a senior who has been effective facing the basket because he’s a very good passer and a solid scorer off the dribble. Akeene, who can knock down the midrange jumper, will look to be more physical and help the Lions on the defensive end of the floor. Tinos Brozos is a strong player with a good build who also has the ability to shoot the ball from the outside. Jarred Pickering is a guy who is comfortable on the wing or in the paint. Dallas Johnson can provide instant offense because of his knack for scoring points in bunches. Dominique Hicks played junior college basketball last year and is an explosive player. P.J. Gore, a second team All-SAC selection, is a returning senior who can really score. Danny Sanders is a very athletic player who can score the ball from very deep. He plays above the rim and has nice slashing ability. Julian Mack is a returning guard/forward that is extremely athletic and will have to do the little things for the team to be successful. Defensively, the Lions will look for him to pressure the ball and generate turnovers. Stefan Ristic’ is a junior who has worked hard during the offseason. Stoney Polite, also a second team preseason All-SAC pick, is a very talented guard. Polite is a returning captain who can score 20-plus points each night as well as get his teammates involved with his playmaking ability. He will be counted on as the Lions catalyst on both ends of the floor. Tony Blake is a self-made player. Nobody

has a better work ethic than Tony which is a big reason his peers chose him as a captain. JaShawn Anderson has great size and strength for the guard position. Quinn Nelson is a coach’s son. He understands the details of the game, such as the value of not turning over the basketball. The strength of the 2008-09 squad should be their athleticism. It will enable them to play more up-tempo basketball on both ends of the floor while still being able to be productive in the half court set. - Rick Baker

NEWBERRY COLLEGE Enthusiasm abounds around the Newberry College men’s basketball program as the scarlet and gray enter the 2008-09 season. Head Coach Jeremy Luther enters his second season at Newberry with one of the greatest luxuries any head coach can have, as Newberry will return all five starters from the 2007-08 squad. While that edition of the team finished with a 12-16 overall record and a 5-9 South Atlantic Conference mark, the room for massive improvement is immediately evident, as nine of those 16 losses were by six or fewer points. “I think the biggest advantage of returning Clemente Martin all five starters is that our Senior forward learning curve is much smaller,” Luther said. “Last year, by the time they got used to me and knew about what I wanted and how I reacted and got used to the new system and our tendencies, it was mid-January. When they finally got it, we were arguably one of the better teams in the league.” Leading the five returning starters is senior forward Clemente Martin – a first team allSouth Atlantic Conference selection. Martin broke the 1,000 career point barrier last season, and led the team in scoring with 528 points for an average of 18.9 points per game. He was second in the conference in scoring, 12th in the conference in rebounding (6.0 rpg), fourth in field goal percentage (.567) and won the SAC title in steals (2.36 spg). Also returning is the team’s leading
rebounder, senior forward Stephane Bakinde. Bakinde’s 6.5 rebounds per game led the team, and he was second on the squad in scoring with 11.3 points per game. Senior point guard Vytautas Valiulis returns after finishing third in the SAC in assists with 4.4 assists per game, while averaging 8.8 points. Also, senior guard Matt Alexander returns after a solid junior campaign in which he averaged 8.8 points, 4.4 rebounds and 2.93 assists per game. Junior center Kendrick Johnson will look to tack onto his school record for blocked shots. Johnson should be one of the dominant post defenders in the conference and looks to continue to improve on offense. He was second in the league with 93 blocked shots last season (3.32 bpg), which set a single season school record. His 134 career blocked shots is already a Newberry College record, while Johnson has only played in three semesters. Players from the bench will include sophomore guard Grant Domsic, who earned SAC All-Freshman team honors last year after averaging 10.5 points per game and shooting 35.6 percent from behind the arc. Senior forward Ty Overmyer should also be a key contributor off the bench. A solid group of transfers and freshmen will also be looked to for immediate contributions. At the top of that list is sophomore forward Jesse Wheeler, a transfer from Gardner-Webb University. “Jesse has the potential to be the highest impact player we’ve brought in this year,” Luther said. “Jesse is very athletic and competes every play. He has the ability to be an all-conference type of player for us.”
Clemente Martin “He can score from behind the arc, and is also skilled in the post. He’s a solid all-around player,” Luther added. Also expected to make an impact is redshirt freshman guard Charles Ndoloum. “If I have to go small, we can put him out there and he can do anything we need him to.” Junir forward Brett Goodwell and freshman point guard Will Dawkins are also expected to see time on the floor. All in all, it looks like the Newberry College men’s basketball team has the pieces in place to challenge for its first SAC title. From here, it’s all about how the scarlet and gray can put those pieces together.

TUSCULUM PIONEERS The Tusculum College men’s basketball team will have a balanced blend of veteran leadership and a wealth of talented newcomers as the Pioneers tip-off the 2008-09 campaign. Head coach Jim Boone returns seven lettermen from a year ago, including three starters from a team that posted a 13-15 overall record, finishing the season a strong note by winning five of its final six regular season contests. Since his arrival in Greeneville, Coach Boone’s teams have been amongst the league leaders in team defense, including last year as the Pioneers limited the opposition to 68.3 points per game, which was best in the conference. The Pioneers, who finished fifth in the SAC standings last season, return All-SAC guard Kyle Moore and one of the top point guards in the league in Kyle Moore senior Ryan Troutman. Junior guard Moore averaged 16.6 points per game (7th in SAC), while shooting 42.3 percent from three-point territory. The Pioneers led the league in team three-point field goal percentage and enter this season with a streak of 581 consecutive games with a three-point field (every game since 1987). The Winthrop University transfer proved to be on the best free throw shooters in the conference as well, gunning 84.5 percent from the charity stripe (2nd in SAC), while dishing four assists per contest (6th in SAC). Troutman led the SAC in assists (5.21 apg – 29th in NCAA II) and assist to turnover margin (2.1 – 34th in NCAA II). Also returning to the starting line-up is 6-6 junior wing man Darren Hobbs. Hobbs garnered 21 starts last season, including the

WINGATE BULLDOGS Wingate University head men’s basketball coach Brian Good believes his team is ready for the challenges of a new season. A former student-athlete at Wisconsin, Good enters his first season with the Wingate program this year. Most recently, Good spent four seasons as head men’s basketball coach at Queens University of Charlotte. He led the Royals to a 72-45 overall record, helping Queens make back-to-back NCAA appearances in his final two seasons. Good enters a program with recent NCAA post-season success. Wingate advanced to the Elite Eight in 2007 and the final 32 in 2008. The Bulldogs were the first SAC men’s basketball team to participate in an NCAA Division II Elite Eight DeMario Mattox Senior guard event. The Bulldogs will miss guard/forward Sean Barnette and forward/center Bryan Grier, who both graduated to professional basketball careers. Two seniors will give the Bulldogs exceptional leadership at the point guard position: Rosco Turner and DeMario Mattox. “I believe this will be a most interesting competition,” Good notes. “Both Rosco and DeMario bring different qualities to the position.” Mattox is Wingate’s top returning scorer from last season. He averaged 7.4 points per game during the 2007-08 campaign. Turner led the Bulldogs in assists last year with 127. Mattox was second with 104 helpers. Redshirt sophomore Ben Davis and freshman
Jamie Vaughn could potentially provide assistance at the point guard spot. Good believes the shooting guard spot is “up for grabs.” He believes either Turner or Mattox could play the two position while the other takes care of the point guard duties. Good feels this will ease the burden for both student-athletes. Bulldog junior Larry Staley will see time at both wing positions. Two freshmen “have been the most pleasant surprises of our pre-season workouts,” Good says. Vaughn and Chase Smith give the Bulldogs highly skilled backcourt support. Junior Phil Jacobson and freshmen Michael Bilal, D.J. Harrison and Ty Eason give Wingate many options in the backcourt. At the three position, redshirt junior David Johnson “has been very good in pre-season drills,” Good notes. “David can shoot the ball and he is a good athlete.” In back-toback post-season games last year, Johnson had 14 points against Newberry and 18 points against Mars Hill. Larry Staley “is big enough and strong enough…we can use him at both wing positions,” Good adds. Ben Davis will also see time at the three spot for the Bulldogs. In the frontcourt, Good sees two distinct groups. “We have two seniors and two freshmen in the post,” Good says. “They all have different games. It is a bonus for us…they each bring different attributes to the table.” Senior Kenny Villines is the group’s leader. “Kenny is a very steady player,” Good notes. “He is a solid rebounder, defender and scorer.” In 2007-08, Villines averaged 5.4 points per game and 5.0 rebounds per game. His rebounding average was third on the team

charts behind Barnette and Grier. Senior Tommy Coles “has been a very pleasant surprise in the pre-season,” Good says. “He is shooting the ball very well.” Freshman Sam Mushman “is a very good shooter,” Good asserts. “He is as good (a shooter) as anyone on our team.” Mushman will give opposing defenses a difficult time, as he has great perimeter range. Classmate Bradley VanStaalduinen “brings great energy to our team,” Good says. “Once he gets comfortable with the pace of the (college) game, he will make a solid contribution.” - David Sherwood

BREVARD TORNADOS The Brevard College women’s basketball team has a new look in 2008-09 starting at the top with first year head coach Shannon Reid. Coach Reid, who played at Pfeiffer University and was an assistant coach at Clayton State and University of Albany prior to coming to Brevard, is instilling a new sense of urgency and work ethic to a team that has only four returners from last season. Brevard College posted an 8-19 overall record last season as provisional members of both the NCAA Division II and the South Atlantic Conference, with five of those eight wins coming at home in the friendly confines of Boshamer Gymnasium. The 2008-09 team is a young one, as BC has only four returners from last year – Samantha Winn, Millie Wharton, Amber Roberts and Amanda Whitaker – and has no senior on their Samantha Winn roster. In fact the Tornados Junior forward have 10 players that are underclassman, with the only two juniors. Coach Reid will look to returners Winn and Wharton for leadership, as the two juniors are the most experienced on the team. Last season, the 5-10 Winn was one of only two BC players to average double-digit points, as she was second on the team with 10.0 points per game. Winn, who started all 27 games on the year, led the Tornados in field goal percentage shooting a blistering 49.7 percent from the field and was second on the team in rebounds hauling in 4.9 per game at the small forward position. Wharton, a 5-9 guard/forward combo, played in all 27 games, starting 10 of
them, where she averaged 17.1 minutes per contest. Wharton, who averaged 3.4 points per game, will be asked to step up on the offensive end in both scoring and leadership. The two other lone returners, sophomores Amber Roberts and Amanda Whitaker, will both be asked to contribute more this season and step in as leaders. Roberts came on strong at the end of last season, starting five games. Playing at both of the guard positions, Roberts played in all 27 games on the year, averaging 2.7 points per game in a little over 13 minutes of action. Whitaker started 26 out of 27 contests and was third on the team in both points, 7.7 per game, and rebounds, 4.6 per game at the forward position. Whitaker has the ability to score from both the inside and outside and will be looked at as a primary scoring option for the Tornados in 2008-09. With eight newcomers the Tornados will have a lot of learning to do on the fly and will look for a number of youngsters to contribute immediately. Transfers Brianna Worley and Micah LaJoie both come into the BC program with some intercollegiate experience. Worley will have to sit out the season due to NCAA Division II transfer rules. LaJoie, a 5-7 sophomore transfer from McPherson College, will look to contribute to the team immediately. The other six newcomers, all of which are freshmen – Anna Schlobohm, Holli Flippo, Lindsay Brendle, Spring Drake, Paige Bridgers and Kelly Hudler – will all be asked to contribute immediately. Schlobohm is a very physical and athletic guard. Flippo is a 5-6 guard that has excellent court awareness and strong perimeter skills.
Samantha Winn Brendle is a versatile player that at 5-9 will see time at both the guard and forward positions, where she can use her quickness to attack the basket off the dribble and her size to shoot over defenders behind the three-point arc. Drake, a 5-7 guard, is a high energy player that will bring intensity on both ends of the floor. Bridgers, a 5-8 guard, is a pure threepoint shooter that along with Drake will be expected to bring much needed depth to the guard position. Hudler, a 6-0 forward, will bring much needed depth to the post positions. She is a strong rebounder and has great foot work down low in the post.

CARSON-NEWMAN EAGLES The 2008-’09 Carson-Newman Lady Eagles basketball team will look to change their pace under 7th year head coach Dean Walsh. With a wealth of youth and new faces, especially at the guard position, C-N will move to a more “up tempo” style than in previous seasons. How the freshmen, as well as a pair of transfers, mix in with four returning starters will determine if Carson-Newman can make a push for the South Atlantic Conference title. Another key will be close games. The Lady Eagles lost six games by three points or less in ’07-’08. While the Lady Eagles must replace posts Emily Mason and Tashea Ledbetter, six of last season’s top Shari Buford seven scorers return, inJunior forward cluding all of the key contributors at guard. Junior first-team All-South Atlantic Conference selection Shari Buford will anchor the C-N post game. The forward and twoyear starter averaged 12 points and seven boards per game a season ago, and could benefit the most from an quicker pace because of her ability to run the floor. Seniors Ashley Tipton and Lindsay Eggleston joins Buford at the forward spots. Tipton came up three points shy of averaging double figures (9.9 ppg.) during her junior year. The second-team All-South Atlantic Conference selection is one of the nation’s best three-point shooters, burying 48 percent (71-of-148) of her long-range tries
last season. Eggleston can post up and face up, and will pose match-ups problems for bigger defenders. She averaged five points per game last season, in just over 13 minutes. Freshman Zoriah Williams will also factor in. The 5’10 forward will give Walsh another athletic option on the low block. The Lady Eagles return all three of their key guards from a season ago, including two from injury. Senior Angela Volentine and junior Ashley Kyle are combo guards that are expected to be full speed after both missed time with knee injuries last season. Volentine, who had 32 steals a season ago, is a do-it-all guard that finished the season averaging 10 points and five boards. Kyle will move to her natural position at the two guard, and looks to benefit from a growing stronger and quicker in the offseason. Senior Tykira McDaniel gives the Lady Eagles a third veteran at the off guard sports. McDaniel averaged six points and two rebounds and led the team with 33steals. Sophomore Amber Blackwell returns after appearing in 24 games as a freshman. She’ll push to take the reins of a wide-open battle at the point guard spot. Three freshmen will fight Blackwell for the job. Sha’Para Johnson and Lundyn Howard are a pair of quick and athletic freshmen that will push for the starting spot. Johnson is the bigger scoring threat, while Howard manages the offense and distributes the ball better. Allison Whitenack is a third freshman point guard who will push for time. Junior college-transfer Liz Stringer will
Shari Buford
give the lady Eagles an experienced shooter at the shooting guard. She shot over 50 percent from behind the arc last season at Cuyahoga C.C. Freshman Megan Hunter will move to the off guard spot after scoring over 1,700 points in high school playing the point. The Lady Eagles also added Tennessee Tech-transfer Mandy Mendenhall, who is expected to have an immediate impact with her ability to shoot the three, rebound, slash, and defend.

Todd Starkey is beginning his fourth year as Head Women’s Basketball Coach at Lenoir-Rhyne College. Hired in August of 2005, Starkey became the 10th coach in program history. Two years ago, the Bears improved by six games from the 200506 season to finish 16-12 overall and 9-7 in the South Atlantic Conference, a mark good for fourth place. In addition, L-R also landed two players on the AllTodd Starkey SAC teams. Amber Year By Year Holt received first-team 2005-06 Lenoir-Rhyne 10-18 .357 accolades and was 2006-07 Lenoir-Rhyne 16-12 .571 named South Atlantic 2007-08 Lenoir-Rhyne 15-13 .536 Conference Freshman Career 41-43 .488 Of The Year while Denise Moore earned second-team honors. The squad went through some growing pains in his first season at the helm in 2005-06, finishing with a 10-18 mark with a squad that did not have one single player recruited under his wing. Starkey has also been an Assistant Coach for the Bears’ Men’s Basketball Team for two seasons (2002-04), leading the team to the 2003-04 SAC Regular Season Championship and subsequent berth in the NCAA Division II Playoffs. Starkey came to L-R in 2003 after coaching five seasons as an Assistant for the Men’s Basketball Team at Montreat College (1998-03) where he helped the Cavaliers earn a berth in the NAIA National Tournament during the 1999-00 season. That same year, Montreat improved its win total from seven to 22 games, the second-best improvement in the nation at any level. Starkey, a 1993 graduate of Montreat, played one year of basketball for the Cavaliers after playing two seasons at Mars Hill College. Starkey and his wife, Jodi, reside in Hickory, N.C., and are the proud parents of four children: Drew, Logan, Mackayla and Brooke.

LENOIR-RHYNE BEARS The Lenoir-Rhyne University women’s basketball team looks poised to bounce back this season and return to the upper echelon of the South Atlantic Conference. The Bears (15-13 overall and 5-9 in league play in 2007-08) tied for fifth overall in the standings as they tried to adjust to the premature loss of junior AllSAC center Denise Moore at the start of last school year. In addition to Moore’s return, Lenoir-Rhyne welcomes back all five starters for the second straight season under fourth-year mentor Todd Starkey. Amber Holt L-R is one of two teams Junior guard in the SAC (conferencechampion Tusculum is the other) to place three players on the all-league preseason squads. This team, deep and experienced, has the potential to make a run to the top. Moore’s absence was undoubtedly felt as the team looked to make up for losing a player who averaged 13.9 points and 8.1 rebounds per game two years ago. Junior center Jacquelyn Kremer, who averaged 8.6 points and 3.4 rebounds in 2007-08, put up a valiant effort last season as Moore’s main replacement. Forward Jackie Williams, the lone senior on the squad, is a quiet leader for the Bears who makes up for her scoring (4.1 ppg) with her rebounding (a teamleading 5.6 rpg), defense and overall athleticism.
Junior forward Kristen Fulmer has been one of the Bears’ top reserves the last two years. Fulmer (2.5 ppg and 2.3 rpg) not only gives L-R depth but could challenge for a starting spot. Although she plays forward, sophomore Abby Munn is known for her ability to hit three-pointers (18 in 2008). If Munn can improve in other areas, the Bears have a young player who can make a significant impact. The same could be said for sophomore forward Erin Hanner. L-R is always looking to add depth to the frontcourt and this year is no exception with the addition of freshmen Amber Clark and Mary Covington and sophomore Ashley Pearson, a transfer from Alabama A&M. Lenoir-Rhyne once again has one of the best backcourts in the league headed up by junior guards Amber Holt and Jami Safrit, both preseason All-SAC honorees. Holt, a two-time, first-team all-league selection, led the team in scoring (14.5 ppg) and assists (3.4 apg) last year and the added support this season should only make her better. Safrit continues to shine in all facets of the game, averaging 10.9 points, 4.5 rebounds, 3.4 assists and 2.7 steals in 2007-08. Safrit is one of the unquestioned leaders on the team and there is no denying her importance to the squad. Sophomore guard LaCourtney Rann was a pleasant surprise in her first season on the court for the Bears. Rann finished second on the team in points (11.6 ppg). Junior guard Meredith Webster
Jami Safrit
continues to produce off the bench with her ability to shoot from long range. Leslie Conetta (Sarasota, Fla.) is another junior guard looking to see her playing time improve this year. Two highly-touted recruits – freshmen Whitley Culler and Cameron Sealey – will add to the mix as well. - John Karrs

LINCOLN MEMORIAL RAILSPLITTERS Under the guidance of new head coach Stephanie Smith and led by junior All-South Atlantic Conference performer Andi Winney, the 2008-2009 Lincoln Memorial University women’s basketball team will look to make marked improvement on last year’s 3-11 conference record. Stephanie Smith brought in Christian Papp as her lead assistant. Papp joins the LMU team after spending the past four years coaching at both Valparaiso University and, most recently, Indiana University. Rounding out Smith’s staff are Tristan McCray, who played at Bethune Cookman, and Dawn Skelcher, who remains with the program for her eighth season. Smith will rely on junior Andi Winney forward Andi Winney this Junior forward season. Winney, who led the team in scoring and field goal percentage, averaged 14 points and 6.7 rebounds per game while leading the conference in field goal percentage (66 percent). “Andi has really impressed me with her work ethic and desire to be a leader to the team,” says Smith. “Her ambidexterity is a real advantage for a post player and our post coach has called her the best finisher he’s worked with. We’d like to see Andi get to the free throw line more and up her rebounding stats this year.” Helping Winney will be returning sophomore guard Stephanie Wagner. Wagner was named to the SAC All-Freshman Team after averaging 9.8 points and shooting 37 percent from the arc. The Lady Railsplitters will have to replace
the scoring and rebounding of Shawna Nichols and Heather Benton and will look to the remainder of the cast to fill the holes. Sure to help is senior guard Kara Harris (11.1 ppg). Harris started 25 of the Lady Railsplitters’ 28 games last year and will be looked to not only for her scoring punch, but as a defensive stopper for LMU. Megan Davis (6.7 ppg. 4.5 rpg.), a 6-0 forward also looks to be a key contributor. “Megan provides us length when defending on the perimeter. She’s a competitor and took 21 charges last season. It’s that type of sacrifice that will not only put Megan into a position to play large minutes, but help our team be the best they can be.” Stephanie Smith has to be very excited about the prospects for success within the conference, as guard Amberly O’Dell will be eligible to begin playing after the first semester. O’Dell, a transfer from Division I Central Michigan, is a 5-6 sophomore that was recruited hard by LMU during high school. “Amberly can knock down the three and get to the basket, but perhaps her greatest attribute is her natural confidence. When she gets a few games under her belt she will emerge as a force in the conference.” Last year, the Lady Railsplitters had only eight healthy players at many practices. This year Smith looks to her team’s depth as a strength. “We’re looking to push the ball more and associate more excitement with LMU women’s basketball. My teams have always been up-tempo,” says Smith. Among those having recovered from injury and looking to contribute will be returning forwards Bonnie DeBusk and Kelly Youhas, as well as guards Whitney Vannoy, Sarah Harrison, and Brittney Craney.
Kara Harris Coach Smith brought in several junior college transfers over the summer that she expects big things from, as well as signing two freshman perimeters that will make the team more athletic. “I’m not used to losing!” says Smith. “I expect us to work as hard as any team and to be competitive with the top teams in the conference this year. We’re going to improve on our fundamentals and bring intensity to everything, whether it’s an offensive possession or a defensive stop. As far as team play goes, we want to maximize the number of easy baskets we get in transition. On defense, I’m big on pressure, whether it’s with our half-court man-to-man or pressing full court.” - Christian Papp

MARS HILL LIONS The Lions’ women’s basketball team ended the 2007-08 campaign 15-13 overall and 5-8 in the South Atlantic Conference. Even though the team finished with a winning record, Coach Jennifer Nance was not satisfied with a below .500 mark in the league. Injuries were a major factor in the Lions’ slipping in their success in the last half of the season. The injuries did have a bright spot in that several of the freshmen received playing time that they may not have experienced if the injuries had not taken place. Brittini Young, Jocelyn Williams, and Bria Smith especially benefitted from this extra amount of playing time. The good news was, the team, even playing with young players in the last portion of the SAC season competed every night. Coach Nance and new assistant coach Brooke Wilkinson revamped their preseason workouts to better prepare the squad for a stronger finish in 2009. The goal for this season Jessica Blanford Senior forward is to again finish the year with a winning overall record and place in the top half of the final SAC standings. This year the Lions have the personnel and depth to run the system Coach Nance wants to perform, run and press. The team also has four experienced seniors that will provide the internal leadership required for a successful team. All four of the seniors; Jessica Blanford, Danielle Francis, Ariel Okunowo and Mia Terry should contribute and play valuable minutes. Jocelyn Williams works hard in the weight room and that has made her a strong player.
Over the past year she has become a very good basketball player in large part to her natural athletic ability. Jocelyn has worked hard in the off season improving her ballhandling skills and scoring with her back to the basket. Blanford will move from the wing to the post this year. She is a great rebounder who can solidify post play early in the season. Libby Pattison returns after seeing action last year as a freshman. Libby, a very fundamental player, will add depth to the post. Francis, another very strong player, has improved her back to the basket moves and the Lions are counting on her to contribute in the paint. Megan Clevenger, a freshman, appears a bit undersized for post play, but brings a good knowledge of the game with her. Taylor Deal, another freshman, will be a solid back to the basket player for the Lions. Like Blanford, Deal can jump out and hit shots from behind the arc so that should help extend opponent’s defenses. Shana Brookshire, a freshman, was a guard in high school but will play a power forward position for MHC this season. Erica Warren, a freshman wing player, is extremely athletic and has solid post moves and a very quick first step. She has the ability to get to the basket and is expected to be a great rebounder. Sophomore Jerusha Clark, who suffered a season ending knee injury last year, returns to the wing. Bria Smith, also a sophomore, may be the nicest surprise to the squad. Last year she was limited to just being a 3-point threat. She has worked hard and has learned the system, can drive to the basket and defend. Okunowo, who is also coming off knee surgery, will anchor wing play and has a chance to be one of the Lions’ best scorers.
Jessica Blanford
She is a solid perimeter shooter and can get to the basket. Terry, the Lions’ most athletic guard is a great rebounder. The team’s smallest player led MHC in rebounding last season. Young is penciled in as the starting point guard. Young may also be the team’s best perimeter shooter. Narcissa Grayson, a freshman, has good athleticism and good court vision. She will have to learn our system before she reaches her full potential. The keys for MHC to reach their goals will be staying healthy and how quickly the team meshes. Another point of concern is how quickly the freshmen learn and master Coach Nance’s system.

NEWBERRY COLLEGE The 2008-2009 Newberry College women’s basketball team will be competing for their third South Atlantic Conference championship in four years and hope to make their fourth NCAA Tournament appearance in five years. Last season, Newberry was knocked out of the SAC tournament by the top seeded Tusculum Pioneers. This season Newberry has brought in Coach Sean Page to take the team back to the top of the SAC. Page comes to Newberry from Brescia University where he took a team that went 1-29 in the 05-06 season to 18-13 in only two years. This season’s roster is full of experienced players ready to make another run at a SAC championship. Leanne Watson 10 players are returning Sophomore forward to Newberry including seven seniors, four of whom have NCAA tournament experience. In the backcourt, both of last seasons starters, Janine Ward and Laura Marquardt, will return to Newberry. Ward is coming off a stellar year in which she led her team in assists with 3.4 per game. She also ranked second on the team in steals (1.6 per game) and free throw percentage (.813). Last season Marquardt put up solid numbers by leading her team in free throw percentage (.830) and ranked second in blocked shots (18). The 2008-2009 season will also mark the return of Monica Alexander, who sat out last season. During the 06-07 season, Alexander was third in the SAC in assists with 4.8 per
game. Alexander also shot 37 percent from beyond the arc and averaged two steals. Keena Phillips, Shonquilla Hudson, and Mashanda Thomas will also be returning to provide depth at the guard position. In her first season, Leanne Watson came off the bench and quickly emerged as one of Newberry’s best players. Watson ranked third on her team in points per game (7.2), rebounds per game (3.9), and blocked shots (5). Her solid performance all season landed her a spot on the SAC All-Freshman team. Newberry fans will also see the return of Cortney Snowden, who hasn’t played since the 05-06 season and was an important player on the 2006 SAC championship team. She ranked third on the team in rebounds with 5.3 per game and also shot the ball efficiently with a .447 field goal percentage. Also returning at the forward/center position are Anita Bulcher, Briana Johnson, and Sade Coates. The scarlet and gray will also be joined by four new recruits. The recruiting class includes freshman Ondia Kelleyfrom Villa Rica (Ga.) HS where she was named MVP and Defensive Player of the Year in her senior season. Also new to Newberry is Keisha Henderson. While attending Blythewood (S.C.) HS she was a two time Basketball Coaches Association All-State honoree and averaged four steals a game her final year. The third freshman is Amy Browne from Caloundra St. HS in Australia. Browne was a four-time All-State selection and was a member of the All-Australian High School team that went undefeated during a tour of the United States in 2007.

Transfer Helen McKinney, a sophomore from Brescia University, was a key player on a team that won its conference and advanced to the NAIA National Tournament. During the 07-08 season, she averaged 15.5 points and six rebounds a game. Coach Page believes this team is ready for the challenges in front of them and hopes to bring home another conference championship to Newberry College.

TUSCULUM PIONEERS Following a 2007-08 campaign that saw the Tusculum College women’s basketball team capture its first South Atlantic Conference Championship and advance into the NCAA South Atlantic Regional, Coach Missy Tiber’s squad is poised for another run into the NCAA Tournament. The Pioneers return all five starters from last season’s 265 squad and bring in a promising recruiting class, giving Tusculum a good blend of experience and youth. Stephany Neptune returns to the starting five for her junior campaign following her All-American performance last season, becoming the first player in program history to receive NCAA D-II All-American honors. Neptune led the SAC with 11.3 rebounds per game while starting all of TC’s 31 games. The 5-9 forward Ashli Oliver also averaged 10.9 points Senior forward per game, and was the only player in the SAC to average a doubledouble last season, earning her a spot on the Preseason All-SAC First Team this year. Ashli Oliver returns for her senior campaign with the Pioneers after leading the black and orange in scoring a year ago, averaging 14.2 points per game en route to an All-SAC Second Team selection. A native of Kokomo, Ind., Oliver surpassed her own single-season SAC and program record last season with 104 three-pointers, moving her into first all-time in league history with 291 career baskets from beyond the arc, which are also the 15th most in NCAA Division II history (385 is the NCAA II all-time record). Sophomore point guard Jasmine Gunn became the first member of the TC women’s
basketball program to be named SAC Freshman of the Year, finishing ninth in the league scoring race with an average of 13.7 points per game. A native of Nashville, Tenn., Gunn led the Pioneers with 189 assists, the fifth highest single-season total in the program’s storied history. Returning to the starting backcourt alongside Gunn is senior Shantae Shank, one of three seniors expected to be in the starting lineup. Shank finished third on the squad averaging 12.3 points per game a season ago. The 5-5 guard concluded the 2007-08 campaign with a team-high 72 steals, also ranking third in the conference in thefts. Rounding out the returning starters is senior Nikki Van Dine. Van Dine finished fifth on the team last season with 10.1 points per game while starting 25 games. The 5-10 guard posted the second best three-point percentage in the SAC last season, as she hit 44.9 percent of the shots she took from beyond the arc (80-178). Van Dine also posted the third-best field goal percentage on the team (.479), and averaged three rebounds per game. Juniors Kat Spears and Emily French return to fill key roles off the bench for the Pioneers. Spears averaged 6.7 points per game and finished with 29 blocked shots. French saw time in 13 games last season, averaging 0.9 points per game. Sophomore guards Jasmine Parker and Brittni Oliver round out the veteran corps for the Pioneers entering the 2008-09 season. Parker saw action in all 31 of TC’s games last season, including one start. The 5-7 guard averaged 4.9 points per game and finished second on the team with 84 assists in 15.6 minutes per contest. Oliver started seven of the 28 games she played in, averaging 2.8 points

WINGATE BULLDOGS Wingate University head women’s basketball coach Barbara Nelson and her Bulldogs could not have written a more beautiful script for Nelson’s first season at the Wingate helm…even if they hired a Hollywood script writer. The Bulldogs advanced to the 2007-08 NCAA Division II Elite Eight as champions of the South Atlantic Region. Wingate completed the 2007-08 season as the 10thranked team in the country, according to the USA Today/ESPN/WBCA Division II Top 25 Coaches’ Poll. Wingate also won the Food Lion South Atlantic Conference tournament on the way to the Elite Eight. Guards Kasey Gillis and Kate Edwards were the only seniors on the 2007-08 team. The duo combined for 24 points per game and led the Bulldogs to four straight NCAA appearances. Anna Atkinson Eleven of 14 letterSenior guard winners will return for the 2008-09 campaign as the Bulldogs look to make another post-season run. Wingate’s 77.8 points per game last season put the Bulldogs second on the SAC scoring charts. On the boards, Wingate was eighth in the league in rebounding margin. The Bulldogs won the battle of the boards only eight times during the 2007-08 season. Bulldog senior point guard Anna Atkinson leads Wingate’s returning players. She was named the SAC Player of the Year and SAC Scholar Athlete. She was the MVP of both the SAC tournament and South Atlantic
Region tournament. Atkinson finished in the top five in the nation in assists (8.3), assistto-turnover ratio (3.2) and steals (3.7), while also leading the team in scoring (14.8). The 2007-08 NCAA Division II Conference Commissioners Association (CCA) Female Scholar-Athlete of the Year Award winner, Atkinson was an ESPN The Magazine Academic All-America® first team selection last year. In addition, she earned third team Daktronics All-American laurels on the court. Atkinson was the SAC Athlete of the Year and the SAC Presidents’ Award winner. Freshmen Stephanie Whitenack and Gladney Brown will spell Atkinson at the point guard position. Whitenack gives the Bulldogs a viable three-point threat, while Brown gives Wingate a powerful and strong presence in the backcourt. At the shooting guard position, senior Brittany West and sophomores CC Brooks and Emily Parrish will battle for time. Whitenack will also be in the mix at the two guard spot. West was third on the team in threepointers last season (21), while Brooks hit six-of-eight from long distance during her first Bulldog season. At the three position, Brown and freshman classmate Kurie Washington will give the Bulldogs an interesting dynamic. Washington is a McDowell High School product, the alma mater of senior teammate Anna Atkinson. Senior Paige Mincey will also make a valuable contribution at the three position. Wingate is deep at the post positions, as the entire unit returns intact for the 2008-09 season. Junior center Erica Crumlin led the

SAC with 2.65 blocks per game in 2007-08. Sophomore forward Stefani Shuey averaged 10.6 points per game in the post-season last year. Classmate Jessy Keitt is one of the top defenders in the league. Junior center Stacie Rhodes started 16 games last year; she finished second on the team (to Crumlin) in blocked shots. Senior Leslie Tucker and junior Sarah Rosser can mix it up inside and step outside to hit the three-pointer. Tucker played only eight games last season due to injury. Freshman forward Erin Fitzpatrick provides the Bulldogs with a solid rebounder in the paint. - David Sherwood

2008 MEN’S TOURNAMENT REVIEW CATAWBA 54, MARS HILL 52
Catawba holds off Mars Hill HICKORY, N.C. -- Catawba nearly saw a 19-point lead disappear in the final eight minutes, but held on to defeat Mars Hill 54-52 to claim the championship of the 2008 Food Loin South Atlantic Conference men’s basketball tournament on Sunday afternoon at the CVCC Multipurpose Complex. The fourth-seeded Catawba Indians (19-11) claim the league’s automatic bid into the NCAA II South Atlantic Regional. The sixth-seeded Lions end their season at 14-16. The Indians looked in control when tournament MVP Antonio Houston put Catawba on top 53-34 on a jumper with 8:14 left, but that would be the final field goal for the Indians as the Lions would reel off 18 straight points to close within 53-52 in the final minute. After Catawba grabbed the game’s largest lead, Akeen Coakley scored five straight points for the Lions to pull Mars Hill within 53-40 with 5:28 left. The Lions converted three straight Catawba turnovers into six points to reduce the deficit to 53-46 with 4:25 to go. A free throw by Tony Blake and a steal and layup by Stoney Polite closed the gap to 53-49 with 3:19 left. A three-point play by Jordan Skinner brought the Lions within a point at 53-52 with 38 seconds left. Catawba would suffer its eighth turnover in the final five minutes on the ensuing inbounds play, but Mars Hill failed to cash in. Donald Rutherford made the first of two free throws with 27 seconds remaining to give Catawba a 54-52 lead. Mars Hill called a timeout with eight seconds to play to set up a final play, but Polite would lose the ball before getting off a shot and Catawba took the two-point victory. Catawba finished the game with 31 turnovers, but helped force 26 from the

Lions. The Indians held a 38-24 edge on the boards. Houston was the only Catawba player to reach double figures with 14 points. The sophomore added six rebounds and five assists. Freshman Dominick Reid, who joined Houston on the all-tournament team had eight points and six rebounds. Making the all-tournament team for Mars Hill was Polite (15 points) and Jamarl Glen (18 points). Wingate’s Sean Barnette rounded out the team. Catawba built an early 22-10 following a three-point play by Rob Fields with 11 minutes left in the first half. The Indians would go cold over the next five minutes and Mars Hill clawed within 22-16 before Houston’s jumper at the 6:13 mark. The Loins would go nearly four minutes from there without a point as Catawba moved ahead 26-16. Catawba led 32-22 at the break. The Lions hit on just seven-of-22 (31.8 percent) in the opening half and were one-ofnine from behind the arc. The win is the sixth SAC Tournament title for Catawba in seven trips to the championship game. The Indians first loss came last year to Wingate. Catawba will also be making their fourth regional appearance in five years. “For 34 minutes, our defense was as good as it’s been all year. We were in charge and then, boom, it was gone. Our
youth kicked in and then we started feeling sorry for ourselves,” said Catawba coach Jim Baker. “You talk about swings in momentum, well that was about as good a swing in all of college basketball. We are glad, tickled to win, but a little relieved, too.” “We were going for the win and shoot the three,” Mars Hill coach Tery Rogers said of the last play. “Because of the overtime game last night and the time change, we were pretty well spent. I don’t know if we had enough for another overtime game.” CATAWBA MEN 54, MARS HILL 52 MARS HILL (14-16 overall) Glen, Jamarl 7-12 4-5 18; Polite, Stoney 5-16 4-4 15; Coakley, Akeene 3-7 4-4 11; Skinner, Jordan 2-4 1-1 5; Blake, Tony 0-2 3-6 3; Mack, Julian 0-0 0-0 0; Miller, Andy 0-0 0-0 0; Brozos, Tinos 0-0 0-0 0; Moton, Jabreel 0-5 0-0 0.
