Cary Fowler:
‘...we dont’ have just a chip on our shoulder. We have the whole casino.’
Season of ‘unfinished business’ dedicated to the memory of “Momma” Cheryl
T
arleton State football and fifth-year head coach Cary Fowler intend to pick things up where they left off when the 2014 football season kicks off. “For us, it’s about our unfinished business,” said Fowler. “We won the conference last year but we didn’t make the playoffs. So at the end of it all, we didn’t make the playoffs and our bowl game got cancelled so it feels like we didn’t even win a championship because there was nothing at the end of it.” In his fourth season at the helm, Fowler turned the tide as his group of, now, experienced veterans won the school’s third Lone Star Conference Championship by going 5-1 against LSC opponents, which included a spectacular comeback performance against then-No. 4 West Texas A&M at Memorial Stadium. The Texans opened the season 4-0 after holding on for an LSC Football Festival win over rival, Midwestern State, at AT&T Stadium, going to
Angelo State and scoring the game-winning touchdown with less than a minute, outdueling Division I Abilene Christian at Toyota Stadium in Frisco and dismantling Eastern New Mexico in Black Water Draw. With the perfect start, Tarleton State opened Memorial Stadium for the first time in 2013 by welcoming the Buffs into Stephenville and fell behind 27-3 after the first half. Fowler and the Texans refused to roll over as the Tarleton defense shut out WT in the final two quarters while the Texan offense scored four touchdowns to improve to 5-0 on the season. Three games later, Tarleton headed south to Kingsville and thumped Texas A&M-Kingsville 4520 to earn a share of the Lone Star Conference Championship title. The Kingsville victory would be the final sweet victory of the season as the Texans were left out of the postseason and were invited to play in the Heart of Texas Bowl in Copperas Cove but

SEASON PREVIEW Martinez and defensive backs Devin Figures and Charles Moore. “When I took this job, the first thing I said was ‘I want to win a national championship’,” said Fowler. “That’s our goal. I love this team. These guys have been through so much – they’ve lost teammates, Mrs. Cheryl, close games and have been beat real bad – but they have battled and it’s these guys who have been with me every step of the way.” In addition to the weight on their shoulder, the Texans will also have a weight on their hearts after losing “Momma” Cheryl Spellmeier in a tragic car accident last July. Spellmeier was a resident of Stephenville for the last 25 years and has spent the last 14 as the senior secretary of the Tarleton State football program. She passed away on July 26 after being involved in a three-car traffic accident. Her daughter and grandchildren were also in the vehicle but survived despite injuries. “She was the mother of our football program for the last 14 years,” said Fowler. “She loved these players like they were her own children. She was a tremendous woman and it was an honor to have known her as long as I did. We will without a doubt be dedicating our season to Cheryl.” Tarleton will open the regular season on the road at West Texas A&M on September 13 at 7 p.m. and when the ball goes up on the opening kickoff, the Texans will be ready to take care of business.

it was cancelled due to weather. “Our unfinished business is our fuel right now,” said senior wide receiver Clifton Rhodes III. “We’re hungry and we want to win so badly. We know how it feels to be called ‘champions’ but not allowed to play for anything. It’s going to drive us to take that next step.” “It’s a huge chip on our shoulder,” added Fowler. “I tell the players all the time, we don’t just have a chip on our shoulders. We have the whole casino. That’s the way we approach it. We’re upset about it. It bothers me and it bothers them.” The next step is now underway. Tarleton State is returning 47 letterwinners from last year’s team and 29 players who started at least 30 percent of the games and has retained six coaches from last year’s squad and adding a pair of new, experienced pieces. Of the key players returning, the receiving corps of Le’Nard Meyers, Rhodes and Bubba Tandy are all back and were the team’s top three receivers in yardage a year ago. Tarleton also returns RB Zach Henshaw and all five starters on the offensive line. Meyers, Henshaw and senior starter at left tackle, Lucas Love, all enter the season as Preseason All-America selections by USA College Football, Inc. On the defensive side, the Texans will lean on the senior leadership of defensive linemen Patrick Bettiol, Juan Gonzalez, linebacker Marc
The Tarleton State defense will look to lead Tarleton into the NCAA postseason in 2014.

HEAD COACH CARY FOWLER

CARY FOWLER HEAD COACH
Fresh off the school’s third Lone Star Conference Championship and his first as a head coach, Cary Fowler begins his fifth season at the helm of the Texan Football program in 2014. Fowler’s Texans got off to an incredible start in the 2013 season by winning the first five games of the season, including an epic come from behind victory against No. 4 West Texas A&M in the home opener on October 12, 2013. Tarleton was trailing 27-3 after the opening half but Fowler’s Texans held the nation’s No. 4-ranked team scoreless in the last two quarters and scored 28 unanswered points, including 21 in the fourth quarter to pull off the victory and open the campaign 5-0. Three games later, Tarleton State went down to Texas A&M-Kingsville needing a win to secure a Lone Star Conference championship and left no doubt with a 45-20 thumping of the Javelinas. This also marks three straight seasons with a winning record for Fowler while 19 players received all-LSC recognition. Since the start of the 2012 season, Fowler’s teams have been one of the most explosive offensive teams in the Lone Star Conference. The Texans have amassed over 9,300 yards of total offense including over 6,000 of it through the air. In 2012, despite having one of the youngest teams in the Lone Star Conference and fighting a plague of injuries, Fowler still managed to guide the Texans to a 6-4 overall record and a 5-3 mark in conference play. Under Fowler, Tarleton State has had at least one player every year to be offered an opportunity to continue their career at the professional level in the National Football League. Saalim Hakim was the first to head to the professional level, leaving after the 2010 season. Hakim was signed by the Dallas Cowboys, later saw time with the New Orleans Saints and spent the entire 2013 season with the New York Jets. After the 2011 season, Nick Stephens became the next Texan to reach

Tarleton State Football: The 2014 Te xan Coaching Staff
the pinnacle of the sport by signing a free agent contract to play quarterback for the Tennessee Titans. After a preseason pit stop with the Dallas Cowboys, Stephens has gone on to find a home with the Baltimore Ravens. After the 2012 season, Fowler had his first player taken in the NFL Draft as the reigning LSC Defensive Lineman of the Year, Rufus Johnson, became the highest drafted Texan in school history when New Orleans took Johnson in the sixth round and signed him to a four-year contract. Johnson was active for the Saints when they played the Seattle Seahawks in the 2014 playoffs. Adrian Campbell and Cordell Valentine also had brief stints in the NFL from the 2012 team. After 2013, Dashaun Phillips kept the streak alive by signing a free agent contract with the Dallas Cowboys. When it comes to the fifth year head coach, there is not a shortage for people to contact regarding advice. The Texans’ leader is going into his seventh season overall with the Purple and White and he feels that it has been a process of learning, growing, and communicating expectations with his fellow coaches and the players. He has used his coaching connections and mentors in order to better understand what it means to be a head coach of a football program. “I have been involved in college football for the past 24 years of my life,” said Fowler. “I have seen a lot of things and coached a lot of players, but here at Tarleton, I am able to fully appreciate the coaching experience. We have the facilities, the staff, and the university that makes Tarleton football one of the premiere programs in all of Division II.” Fowler has spent 20 years in coaching at only three schools, which is surprising considering the number of Division I coaches he has worked with, under, and over in his time in college football. With names like Houston Nutt, Denver Johnson, and Joe Pannunzio as influences, Fowler has plenty of sounding boards to bounce ideas off of in his career. “The best thing that has happened to me is that Coach Nutt is not coaching anymore,” said Fowler. “Now I have unlimited access to him. I really use these coaches as guides and examples of coaching the right way. They have meant so much to me in my development as a coach and as a human being.” Despite his competitive nature to be the best, at the end of the day, winning isn’t the most important thing. “The most rewarding part of coaching is watching these kids graduate,” said Fowler. “We have a lot of first generation college students, as I was myself. My mom and dad influenced me more than anyone else and I haven’t missed a day of school or work my entire life. I want to set an example for these young men and show them that dedication and a drive to succeed are all you need to be something in life.” The 2011 team was Fowler’s real beginning as a head coach because he was able to play the players he recruited. With that squad, Tarleton overcame a 1-5 start to finish 6-5 on the year and 5-3 in conference play with five straight victories, including big league wins over Incarnate Word, Texas A&M-Kingsville, and Angelo State. Fowler had six players earn all-conference honors, two players named all-region, and a pair of All-American performers in linebacker Marquis Wadley and defensive back Dashaun Phillips. In 2010, Fowler completed his first season in charge of the Texans, who went 3-8 on the season. Injuries on both sides of the ball and a very tough schedule caused problems for the first year head coach, but it was just the beginning of the transition into a winning program. In his head coaching career, Fowler has coached the LSC Defensive Back and Defensive Lineman of the Year, tallied seven first-team allconference, 19 second-team all-LSC and 34 honorable mention all-LSC players. He has also had five all-region awards bestowed to his players and two players receive All-American honors, including Rufus Johnson

who earned All-American honors from three different sources following the 2012 season. He has also had nine players named to Preseason All-American teams, including three prior to the 2014 campaign. In 2009, Fowler helped guide the Texans to the second round of the NCAA Division II playoffs and a share of both the LSC Championship and the LSC South Division title. The Texan defense led the conference for most of the season and finished third in the LSC in total defense (323.4) and scoring defense (20.9). Tarleton was second in pass defense (21.61) and in interceptions (20). Tarleton was first in the league in opponents’ fourthdown conversions (22.2 percent) and second in opponents’ third-down conversions (30.2 percent). In 2008, the Texan defensive coordinator directed a defense that was No. 1 in the league in scoring defense, allowing just 21.8 points per game. The Texans were second overall in total defense with 319.3 yards per outing while the pass defense topped the LSC after allowing just 196.9 yards through the air. While on the Texan staff, Fowler has spent time speaking to community groups such as the Kiwanis and Optimist Clubs. He has also spent time helping the football team with community service projects such as Meals on Wheels, Foster Home events and been involved with Refuge, a weekly Bible study at Harvey Baptist Church. In 2007 as his last season as an assistant coach at Midwestern State before coming to Tarleton, Fowler led the No. 1 total defense in the LSC, allowing just 294.2 yards per game. The Mustangs had the top-ranked rushing defense, allowing just 93.9 yards rushing per outing, and the third-ranked passing defense, giving up just 200.3 yards per contest through the air. MSU was also the best scoring defense in the LSC, allowing just 18.6 points per game. Fowler, who has made a name by annually constructing one of the top defenses in the LSC, was selected as the NCAA Division II Assistant Coach of the Year in 2005. The award, which was first presented in 1997, honors assistant coaches that excel in community service, commitment to the student-athlete, on-field coaching success and AFCA professional organization involvement. Fowler has been in tune with each during his collegiate coaching career. Fowler continued his coaching successes at Midwestern State as the defensive coordinator in 2001 where he coached a pair of All-Americans including linebacker Columbus Wooley and safety Germont Jackson. In Wichita Falls, he was very involved in the community as well, but his accomplishments on the field have been just as noteworthy. Prior to joining the staff at MSU, Fowler spent nine years of association with the Murray State University football program. In 1993 and 1994, he was a safety and standout special teams performer before moving into a graduate assistant role from 1995-96. Fowler’s role would grow into his first full-time coaching job in 1997 when he was put in charge of the Murray State secondary. He became recruiting coordinator later that year before becoming the linebackers and free safety coach in 1999. During his four seasons as a full-time coach at Murray State, Fowler coached two All Americans in cornerback Willie Hampton (1998) and safety Beau Guest (2000). After two seasons at Austin Peay State in Clarksville, Tenn., Fowler transferred to Murray State (Ky.) to begin what would be a nine-year relationship with the Racers’ football program. As a prep athlete, he earned all-state honors as a four-year letter winner on the gridiron while also participating in track and baseball. Fowler earned a bachelor’s degree in history from Murray State in 1994. Fowler married the former Shanan Dunn in June of 2002. The Fowler’s are the proud parents of two daughters, Sophi and Bella.

When the 2014 season kicks off, Mason Miller will begin his 16th season of coaching football, which includes 14 at the collegiate level and first at Tarleton State where he will be the Associate Head Coach and lead the offensive line. Miller, a protégé of Hal Mumme in the Air Raid offense, comes to Tarleton following a one-year stint as the head coach of McMurry University. As an offensive-minded head coach, Miller’s War Hawks averaged 38.5 points and 523.1 total yards of offense per game last year. He has guided four different offenses to among the best in the nation at every level of NCAA football, including the best offense in the nation in D1-AA while at Southeastern Louisiana. He checked in at No. 3 in the nation in 2006 with D1 New Mexico State and No. 6 in the nation twice with McMurry, once as a Division III team and once as an in-transition Division II team. Miller’s career began on the playing field where he starred as a standout linebacker for Walton High School in Marietta, Georgia. His talents earned him a roster spot with Valdosta State, as a fullback, for his initial interaction with Mumme. After a career-ending injury, Miller traded his helmet for a headset and never looked back on his way to becoming one of the top assistant coaches in the nation. He was a student coach at Valdosta State’s conference championship team before venturing out on his own and taking a job at Valwood High School in 1998 where, as the offensive coordinator, helped turn around a team that went 1-19 in the previous two seasons. With Miller leading the offense, Valwood High School earned a playoff berth in 1998 and a state championship in 1999. Miller’s offense was the state of Georgia’s top-ranked offense in 1999. Miller returned to the collegiate ranks at the turn of the century when he spent the 2000 season as the tight ends and wide receivers
coach at Division III Washington and Lee University. He also coached baseball at WLU in the spring of 2001. After that single season at WLU, Miller returned to Mumme’s coaching staff as the duo headed to Southeastern Louisiana to resurrect a program that had not fielded a football team since 1986. The Lions were without football from 1986 through 2002. In the 2002 season, Miller’s responsibility was recruiting and preparing to bring back football. In the next two seasons, Southeastern Louisiana won 12 games, including seven in 2004. Miller served as the running backs coach in the 2003 season before moving to the offensive line in 2004. In just the second season of football at Southeastern Louisiana, Miller guided the Lions to the No. 1 offense in the nation in Division I-AA. Mumme and Miller’s success at Southeastern Louisiana earned them a move to FBS Division I New Mexico State in Las Cruces, New Mexico where the duo stayed for four seasons. As the offensive line coach and assistant head coach, Miller coached four all-conference linemen during his time at New Mexico State, including Nick Cole who went on to have an NFL career with the Philadelphia Eagles from 2006-10. Prior to the 2009 season, Miller returned to Texas, alongside Mumme, when the duo accepted coaching positions at McMurry. Mumme was the head coach for four seasons, with Miller heading up the offensive line and eventually becoming the offensive coordinator, before resigning after the 2012 season and giving way to Miller to become the head coach, the first of his college career, of the War Hawks in 2013. He broke three school records in 2013 at McMurry including total offense, scoring offense and yards per game. Miller and his wife, Meagan, now live in Stephenville with their two daughters, Madison and Mallory.

When the 2014 season begins, Henry Cofer will begin his ninth season as a part of the Tarleton State coaching staff as the linebackers coach and his fifth as the defensive coordinator. Cofer spent his first two years as a graduate assistant coach, in addition to several years prior to his college career coaching at the high school level. In the 2013 season, Cofer’s starting linebackers were the team’s top-two tacklers with Marquis Wadley making an LSC-best 126 tackles, including eight for a loss and two interceptions, and Marc Martinez tallying 87 tackles. The Tarleton defense was also the third-best team in the conference in rushing defense and red-zone defense. Cofer’s defense had two players in the top 25 in tackles among the entire Lone Star Conference, with Wadley at No. 9 with 83 tackles and Rufus Johnson recording 50 in nine games and 10.0 sacks. In 2011, Cofer saw the emergence of his young linebacking core led by a newly-converted linebacker from the running back position, Wadley, who went on to lead the LSC in tackles with 119. Cofer was promoted to the defensive coordinator position prior to the 2010 season when the previous DC, Cary Fowler, was named the head coach. In his first season as the DC, the Texans played many young players all over the field and Cofer mentored a defense that was led by Damian Perkins with 99 tackles and Brandon Johnson with 86 total stops. In 2009, his second season as a full-time coach for the Texans, Cofer coached Marcus Phillips to a first-team all-LSC South selection and helped Tarleton claim its second LSC Championship in school history and earn a spot in the NCAA Playoffs. In the first round of the NCAA playoffs, Cofer’s linebackers made 21 tackles to help Tarleton to a double overtime thriller against Texas A&M-Kingsville. In 2007, Cofer coached the All-LSC First Team selection Vernon Smith after mentoring 2006 LSC South Division Linebacker of the Year Erick Smith who led the team, and was second in the conference, in tackles with 99. The linebackers were a huge part of a defense that was No. 1 in rushing defense and No. 2 in total defense in the LSC. In his eight seasons at Tarleton, the Texans have had winning seasons
in seven years with Cofer on the staff and he has been a part of 59 Texan victories and just 32 losses meaning a .648 winning percentage when Cofer is a part of the program. “When I came to Tarleton, I really wanted to gain experience at the collegiate coaching level, and I had a prior relationship with former head coach Sam McElroy from Sam Houston State,” Cofer said. “I have a passion for the game of football, and I jumped at the chance to work at a family-oriented institution. This was, and continues to be, a great opportunity for me.” After attending the University of Arizona for one year, Cofer transferred to Sam Houston State where he lettered three seasons for the Bearkats and graduated in 1997 with a degree in kinesiology. He received all-conference honors while at SHSU. Cofer served as the defensive coordinator at Austin Johnston High School for four years (1997-2000) before coaching at Pflugerville High School for the next five seasons. While at Pflugerville, he helped coach the 2004 and 2005 Bi-District Champions and Area runner-ups. In his five years there, Pflugerville claimed three district championships and he worked with four Division I signees at the running back position. They made the playoffs all five seasons. Cofer, who completed his master’s degree at Tarleton in December of 2007, also serves as the professional football contact for the Texan coaching staff. He has a 14-year old daughter, Krysilynne.

Tarleton averaged 290.6 yards through the air each game last season. In his inaugural season with the Texans as the quarterbacks coach and passing game coordinator, Carrigan worked with Division I transfer QB and eventual NFL player Nick Stephens before an injury cut his season short. Prior to his time with Tarleton, he spent a season at the University of Texas-El Paso where Carrigan helped the Miner offense average 428.7 yards per game, including 277.6 yards through the air as he worked with the passing game at UTEP. Carrigan spent four years at LSC rival, Midwestern State prior to his stint at UTEP. He was a graduate assistant at MSU in 2005 before being promoted to strength and conditioning/receivers coach. He also served as passing game coordinator in 2007 and 2008 for the Mustangs. At Midwestern State, Carrigan coached one of the most prolific offenses in the Lone Star Conference at the time, guiding the Mustangs to an average of 549.4 yards per game and 316.5 of them on the ground in 2007. The previous season under a twoquarterback system, MSU averaged 436.5 yards per game, including 194.5 yards passing and 242.0 yards per game on the ground. Carrigan played football at Angelo State, where he was a two-time All-LSC safety. He received the school’s Greg Stokes Award in 2000. As a senior, Carrigan recorded two interceptions, scored a touchdown, recorded 65 total tackles, five tackles for a loss of minus-15 yards, had three pass breakups and recovered two fumbles for 18 yards with two forced fumbles. He earned his degree in kinesiology in 2003 and has received a master’s degree in sports administration. Carrigan is married to the former Heather West, who also works on campus at Tarleton State in the Academic Advising Center. The couple resides in Stephenville and welcomed a newborn daughter, Madalyn, in February 2014.

In the 2014 season, Jonathan Beasley will begin his third year on the Tarleton State coaching staff as the wide receivers coach and Academic Coordinator. He will work primarily with the outside receivers in Tarleton’s pass-heavy, air-raid attack. In 2013, Beasley helped sophomore Le’Nard Meyers have a breakout season with a team-best 731 yards on 58 receptions, including a career-high 178 yards on nine catches and two touchdowns to power a 24-point comeback win against No. 4 West Texas A&M on Oct. 12. Meyers wasn’t the only Texan receiver to shine under Beasley’s tutelage as Meyers, Clifton Rhodes III (675), Bubba Tandy (498) and Jeken Frye (419) all topped the 400-yard receiving plateau. Beasley’s receivers had five 100-yard receiving games in 2013. Beasley coached Meyers and Rhodes to all-LSC accolades in 2013 and in his Tarleton career has had a total of four all-LSC selection wide receivers. In Beasley’s first season with Tarleton, he helped the Texan receivers combine for over 2,500 yards and 18 touchdowns with two receivers amassing more than 670 yards individually. Beasley, a former star quarterback at Kansas State, came to Tarleton after coaching three years at his alma mater as an offensive assistant coach. Beasley returned to his alma mater and served as the wide receivers graduate assistant coach after being an assistant coach at Montana State in 2007 and 2008. The Bobcats went 13-10 over Beasley’s two seasons. As part of the Bobcat coaching staff, Beasley also assisted with the weekly implementation of the offensive game plan and served as the MSU Community Service Coordinator. Before arriving at Montana State, Beasley served as a graduate assistant at Emporia State as well as quarterbacks and running backs coach at Wichita North High in 2006 and JV and freshmen quarterbacks coach at Cactus High in Glendale, Ariz. In 2003. He played professionally for the Wichita Aviators
in the APFL (2005), the Wichita Stealth in Arena II (2004), the NFL Jacksonville Jaguars (2003), the NFL Detroit Lions (2003), and NFL Green Bay Packers (2001). He also played for the Saskatchewan Roughriders of the Canadian Football League (2001-02). A native of Glendale, Ariz., Beasley was a third-team all-Big 12 selection at quarterback for K-State in 2000 and earned MVP honors in the 2001 Cotton Bowl and 1999 Holiday Bowl. He also earned MVP and team captain honors for the 2001 Hula Bowl, and was the team captain for the 2001 East-West Shrine Game. Beasley was a two-year starter at Kansas State, compiling a 132.7 pass efficiency rating in 2000, the top mark in school history to that point. He threw for over 30 touchdowns in his career and finished with 4,642 career passing yards. He holds the school record for most yards per completion for a game (23.9), season (20.1) and career (17.9) while also compiling a 21-4 record in two seasons as the Wildcat starting quarterback. He led K-State to a Big 12 Championship Game appearance against Oklahoma as a senior, and led the Wildcats to a win over Nebraska that same season by throwing a game-winning 12-yard scoring strike in the game’s final three minutes. Beasley married his wife, Amanda, in July 2014 and has a four-year old son, Tanner.

Buckingham returned to Tarleton for his sixth season as a veteran leader for then-first year head coach, Cary Fowler in 2010. In his swan song season, he caught 10 passes for 217 yards and led the team with 21.7 yards per catch. Buckingham earned his bachelor’s degree from Tarleton State in Exercise and Sports Studies and a master’s degree in Kinesiology. Buckingham now resides in Stephenville with his wife, Julianne.

Arthur Buckingham returns to Tarleton State football in 2014 for his first season as a wide receivers coach with the Texans after donning the pads for the Purple and White for five years. Buckingham, a native of Pilot Point, first came to the Texans in 2007 and redshirted as a true freshman but began to make his presence known on the field as a redshirt freshman in 2008. He appeared in 10 games for the Texans in his inaugural playing season. It was in his sophomore season that Buckingham was an instrumental part of the Tarleton State NCAA Division II playoff run that extended into the second round, tying the farthest trip into the postseason by a Texan team. With Tarleton hosting Midwestern State at Memorial Stadium and 5-1 on the season with playoffs on the line, the Texans found themselves trailing 28-25 with 2:30 left on fourth and six. It was Buckingham that came through for Tarleton with a 42-yard catch to extend the drive. He also caught a third and fourth down pass on the next series to set up the game tying field goal. Buckingham was the holder for kicker, Garrett Lindholm, and the then-sophomore receiver got the snap down for the game-tying field goal. After a botched snap, he got the snap down again for the game-winning 55yard field goal. In the opening round of the NCAA playoffs on the road at Texas A&M-Kingsville, Buckingham hauled in a diving catch on fourth and 18 with 20 seconds left to save the Tarleton season. His catch helped set up a game tying, NCAA record 64-yard field goal, which he held, to send the game into overtime. After an injury-plagued junior season,

Cheryl Spellmeier would have entered her 17th year as secretary for the Texan football program, and the coaches would probably tell much of the success is due to the unending help of “Mrs. Cheryl.” In addition to her daily secretarial duties, Spellmeier assisted the coaching staff with the coordination of team travel and the organization of recruiting visits. She provided daily support and is the football players’ “mother” away from home. “She was the mother of our football program for the last 16 years,” said head coach Cary Fowler following Mrs. Cheryl’s passing. Spellmeier also assisted the athletics department with individual travel coordination for all athletics department personnel as well as helping with the corporate sponsorship program. Originally from Atchinson, Kan., she was a Stephenville resident for 25 years and previously worked for the City Water Department. Spellmeier left behind her husband, Robert, two daughters, Amanda and Cheri, and three grandchildren.

IN MEMORY OF ZACH SHAVER
34
Wearing 96 Remembering Zach Shaver “It was just a regular Saturday morning practice (in the Spring of 2010),” recalled Tarleton State head coach Cary Fowler. “I remember going through individuals and then running through a few plays at the end of practice. “That entire practice,” he added. “Shaver dominated.” Zach Shaver never played a single snap for the Tarleton Texan football team in a regular season game, but the 18-year old defensive tackle will forever be linked to the university in the form of his number…. 96. The Kid Shaver came to Tarleton, along with his childhood friend Cole Vitolo in the fall of 2009 after the duo dominated in the trenches for Rider High School in Wichita Falls. “Zach and I met in the first grade, but we never really started hanging out together until the fourth grade,” said Vitolo. “I remember inviting him out to play football with me because he had only ever played basketball, and the rest is history. “He was probably one of the funniest people I’ve ever met in my life,” he continued. “He had a way of having a good time no matter how stressful the situation would be. He was really funny and really level-headed all the time.” Shaver and Vitolo grew up in Wichita Falls, with Vitolo living next door to an up-and-coming football coach named Cary Fowler. Fowler was an assistant for Midwestern State at the time. “He’d always come over to play with Cole (Vitolo), who was my next door neighbor, ever since he was a little kid,” said Fowler. “I’ve known him a long time.” When Vitolo and Shaver finished their respective Rider careers, the decision of where to play college football became the main point of their lives. “I knew I wanted to get out of Wichita Falls,” said Vitolo. “We came down to Tarleton for our visits and my parents left early so I rode back home with Zach. “We stopped at a Dairy Queen in Jacksboro, and this sounds really cheesy, but I told Zach, ‘I think I want to be a Texan,’” he added. “He said ‘I think I want to be a Texan, too.’” The decision was made and Shaver and Vitolo continued their football careers in Stephenville. The Spring After redshirting as a freshman, Shaver entered his first spring football training as a legitimate contender for a spot on a defensive line vacated by seniors and injuries. “In 2009, Zach actually had a chance to play for us,” said Fowler. “We had to make a decision who to play right away, and I made the decision not to play Zach because I knew how good he
would be in the long run. “In the spring (of 2010), he completely changed his body,” Fowler continued. “He came into spring and was lifting. He was huge and had very little body fat, but then he got mono. He actually was sick for a week or two and then he came back and started getting back into shape.” Shaver was dominant during the spring, making plays that left the coaching staff in awe of his potential. “Zach wasn’t fighting, he was the starter,” said Fowler, who was serving as the interim head coach at that time. “He was head and shoulders better than any other defensive tackle we had at that time. The coaches and I agreed he could potentially be the best defensive tackle to ever play here. There wasn’t a battle, he was the best defensive lineman we had.” Then tragedy struck. During the “normal Saturday morning practice,” Shaver collapsed during team drills. “He was on the ground and I was telling him to get up, you’re just tired,” recalled Vitolo. “But then they asked us to back up and I started freaking out. I didn’t even know what I was freaking out about because I knew he would be okay.” “I didn’t see it, and I’m sure Cole didn’t either, but I looked down the field and Zach was on his knees and fighting to get to his feet,” said Fowler. “Me and Kurt Turner (the offensive line coach at the time) were the first two there and we finally got him over. I was there holding his hand and we knew something was bad wrong. “He just held my hand and when he got ready to go away, he let go,” he continued. “That was the most helpless feeling I’ve ever had because I knew I couldn’t help him.” Shaver was CareFlighted off the field, wearing the Number 96 on his chest, and taken to Fort Worth. “I went in and showered and the whole time I’m thinking, he’ll be okay. I thought it was just a really bad concussion,” said Vitolo. “I called my girlfriend at the time and told her I was going to the hospital, but we were still - in my mind - planning on going back to Wichita Falls that night. “After a day of waiting, we got a call from the hospital and they told us it was our final goodbye to Zach,” he said. “I hate to say this, but we were balling. We have a love for 80’s rock, and our little group was just sitting there crying and singing the song,

IN MEMORY OF ZACH SHAVER
The Game That fall was Fowler’s first season as head coach, and he had a plan to honor the fallen Shaver. “We had just won the LSC Championship in 2009 and I knew I wanted to give the first championship ring to Zach’s family,” he said. “I wanted to do it the first game of the season, but Zach’s father had foot surgery and couldn’t make it so we planned it for the fourth game.” Fowler’s head coaching career, however, did not start out so well. Not only did the Texans drop their first four games of the season, but injuries were wreaking havoc as well. Vitolo suffered minor injuries while the team lost first-string quarterback Nick Stephens for three weeks, backup QB Aaron Doyle for the season and several other key players. After a three-game road trip, the Texans returned home with intentions to honor the Shaver family against Angelo State on Oct. 2. “There was a different air in the room that day,” said Vitolo. “To be honest, it’s kind of a blur. I remember staring into my locker and thinking this game is bigger than us. There are people here who need this.” Vitolo, along with Zach’s sister Emily, led the charge onto the field prior to Tarleton’s game with the Rams. Then the game was under way. Tarleton trailed by 14 points late in the fourth quarter, but with time winding down the Texans found some magic. “Before the game started, his dad brought in this ‘96’ and I coach every game with this gold ‘96’ that I keep in my pocket, and I think I about rubbed through it that night,” said Fowler. “We were down 14 points late and it was Zach. It was like he took over the game. We backed them up, forced a fumble, recovered it on the two, and events started happening that made you say ‘wow.’” Vitolo recovered the fumble and the Texans scored on the ensuing play. After a pair of defensive stops, Tarleton tied and took the lead on a Stephens touchdown pass and a Blake Weist field goal that made it 37-34 with less than two minutes to go.
“We had the ball (in the closing seconds) and they called timeout on fourth down to try to get the ball back,” said Fowler. “Nick (Stephens) comes to the sideline and I knew I didn’t want to kick it. Nick said, ‘Coach, we got this.’ I asked if he was going to throw it deep and he said, ‘No coach, I’m going to throw it to the heavens.’ “He backed up and he threw it straight up as high as he could and when the ball came down, the game was over,” he said. “You knew Zach was up there smiling and probably laughing at us.” That was Fowler’s first career head coaching victory. “It didn’t even hit me until I got into the locker room,” said Vitolo. “Up until then, we hadn’t played very well, but that night we were like a whole different team. I went and sat at my locker and I cried. It was a really different feeling.” The Number Following the 2010 spring, Fowler dedicated jersey number 96 to be awarded to the player who best represents Tarleton State football both on and off the field. “You have to think, what can you do that’s forever? You can retire a number and people forget what the number meant. Because this kid was wearing a Tarleton uniform when he got injured, I wanted this kid’s history untouched,” said Fowler. “That’s why we touch his helmet on the way out to the field and that’s why his locker is still untouched from the day he passed away.” No. 96 is more than a number to the Texans. It’s a memory, an attitude and a reminder to play every play like it’s their last. “It became a symbol of him because everybody knew Zach and everybody loved Zach,” said Vitolo. “It became a symbol because of the way he played - always in the backfield, always excited on the field. It came with an attitude. It’s like Batman’s Bat-Symbol. No. 96 was Zach.” When the Texans marched into Tarleton Memorial Stadium on Sept. 8, 2013 against Midwestern State, Vitolo was wearing the number of his fallen friend. “It’s the greatest honor I’ve ever earned,” said Vitolo. “I don’t feel I could ever come close to representing it, but to put on his number [was the] greatest honor I could ever achieve.” “It couldn’t [have] happened to a better kid or a kid more committed to Tarleton State University than Cole Vitolo,” said Fowler. “He didn’t break any records, but there are a lot of teams that would [have] loved to have Cole. To see him run out there wearing that number [was] a very moving moment for me, for him and for his parents. “I want to honor Zach Shaver at Tarleton State and for everyone to always remember,” added Fowler. “That even when he couldn’t - for this university - he was fighting to get to his feet.”

‘Josie’s on vacation far away.’” “When you see kids go through that and you have to make that phone call to (Shaver’s mother) Jennifer…I will always feel responsible for that,” said Fowler. “I know there’s a plan God has, but that’s tough. You never know when your last day or your last play is going to happen.” After spending time with his family, Vitolo returned to Stephenville to continue his Tarleton football career without his best friend Shaver. “A lot of people expected me to quit after that, but I always knew I was going to play for Tarleton. Quitting the team never crossed my mind,” he said.

TEXAN FOOTBALL HISTORY
76
The football program has long played an important role on the campus of Tarleton State University, with records showing that Tarleton fielded a football team as early as 1904. The following story will take you on the journey of football at Tarleton, starting with the early days of junior college competition and continuing with the move to senior college level in 1961. It recaps the Texans’ dominance on the NAIA Division II scene and tells of TSU’s recent accomplishments as a member of NCAA Division II. Finally, this story ends by assuring you that Tarleton’s best days on the football field are still ahead. Football began at Tarleton almost from the start of the college. Records indicate that Tarleton fielded a team as early as 1904. However, scores of Tarleton’s games are available only starting in 1915. When Tarleton first began collegiate play, it was known as John Tarleton College but it became a junior college in 1906 and affiliated with the Texas A&M University System in 1917. It was know as John Tarleton Agricultural College (JTAC) until 1949 when it became Tarleton State College. In 1961, Tarleton began four-year competition and in 1973 became Tarleton State University. Tarleton enjoyed great success on the gridiron after World War I, going 52-16-6 over an eight-year span under the direction of W.J. Wisdom, who would later gain greater fame as a basketball coach. Included in the span was an 8-0-1 record in 1925 when Tarleton outscored its opponents 276 to 25 and was tied only by Baylor University’s freshman team. Wisdom also coached the 1935 team to a 9-2 mark, losing the last two games of the season after shutting out eight of the first nine opponents and outscoring opponents 235 to 6. Among the early luminaries of the game were Tarleton Hall of Famers Leslie “Al” Jennings, Max Menzies, Paul “Duck” Marr, Jess “Ironhead” Davis, Hugh Wolfe, Henry Todd, and Clifford Funderburk. During World War II, Tarleton did not field a team in 1942 or 1943 and played mostly military and academy teams in 1944 and 1945. In 1950, Tarleton posted a 7-3 record with what many consider its best team. Seven players from that team are Hall of Fame members, including Al Jennings (1922-26) quarterback Pence Dacus, rushing champion Marvin Brown, and receiver Jack Jones. Brown would later play professionally for the Detroit Lions. In the mid-50’s, led by stars Webb Bishop, Leon Blakeney and Jerry Flemmons, Tarleton would field strong teams, including a 7-1-1 record in 1956. Tarleton made its difficult transition from two-year to four-year competition in 1961 and also changed its team nickname from the “Plowboys” to the “Texans” by student vote. Though the team suffered through seven straight losing seasons – that did not keep John Riggs from becoming one of the most heralded defensive players in school history. The linebacker is one of just two players to have had his jersey (No. 63) retired. In 1966, Tarleton posted a 7-3 record behind a team that also boasts Hall of Famers. That squad defeated a team of Mexico All-Stars in the Aztec Bowl. Giant defensive tackle Randy Winkler would later play professional football. Between 1966 and 1968 Tarleton was entertained by magical quarterback, J.D. McMahon, throwing to receivers Pat Ballow, Harlan Wunsch and Jody Worsham. Between 1968 and 1975, Tarleton competed as a member of the Lone Star Conference. Over that eight-year span, the team recorded just 12
wins while losing 68. One of the few highlights in that span was the opening in 1974 of Memorial Stadium as the football team’s new playing site. In 1976, the University left the LSC and helped form the nonscholarship Texas Intercollegiate Athletic Association. Over the next 15 years, Tarleton would win six TIAA titles, with back-to-back crowns in 1977 and 1978, 1986 and 1987, and 1989 and 1990. The 1978 team was the first to go to postseason play, finishing with an 8-0-1 record during J.D. McMahon ranks as one of the the regular season. All-American top Texan quarterbacks of all-time, linebacker and Tarleton Athletics having completed 389 passes for 5,684 yards and 38 TD’s. Hall of Famer Tally Neal led that team and his No. 34 jersey would later became retired for just the second time in school history. From 1979 to 1982, Ricky Bush would become Tarleton’s career rushing champion and the only Texan football player ever to be selected to four consecutive all-America teams, as he thrilled Tarleton fans at the turn of the decade. During a five-year span from 1986 to 1990, Tarleton went 4511-1, won the Sunflower Bowl in 1986, and advanced to the NAIA quarterfinals in 1987, 1989 and 1990. The 1990 team is the only Tarleton team to have an undefeated and untied regular season, going 10-0, before losing in the quarterfinals to eventual national champion Westminster College. That playoff loss to Westminster is remembered as one of the most thrilling games ever to be played at Memorial Stadium. Because of its domination of the league, Tarleton was requested to leave the TIAA and played as an independent from 1991 to 1994. In 1994 the school was accepted for membership to NCAA Division II, and rejoined the Lone Star Conference, first competing for a league title in 1995. Tarleton’s 10-3 record in 2001 is by far the top single season mark during the scholarship era. In 2002, the Texans finished 9-2 for the second best mark since beginning scholarships. Former head coach Todd Whitten played a key role in Tarleton’s recent success, averaging seven wins per season in his five years at the helm. He and his staff set out to make Texan football a consistent winner, and it appears they are well on their way to doing just that. In 2001, Tarleton earned a share of both the LSC overall championship and LSC South Division crown for the first time in school history. The Texans, who closed the regular season with six straight wins, made their first-ever appearance in the NCAA Division II playoffs and advanced to the national quarterfinals. Tarleton placed 17 players on the AllLSC teams in 2002, including an amazing eight first team selections. The Texans returned to the playoffs for the second time in three years in 2003 and finished the season 8-4 overall. Tarleton won its third straight LSC John Riggs (1960-63) division title by taking the North trophy

TEXAN FOOTBALL HISTORY the second time in the program’s history. In 2010, head coach Cary Fowler took over a rebuilding program in his first year at the helm of the Texans. Tarleton struggled through injuries and inexperience, limping to a 3-8 record, but it gave the younger players an opportunity to gain valuable experience. The 2011 season was the most successful under Coach Fowler after finishing the season on a five-game winning streak. Tarleton got off to a rough start, but faced very tough competition. In fact, the Texans’ losses came against ranked opponents, including No. 1 Midwestern State and No. 2 Abilene Christian. Tarleton rebounded though and finished the season as the hottest team in the conference. At 6-5 on the year, the Texans showed they were growing into a force to be reckoned with in the LSC. It showed a change of pace from the past few years and that the Texans were on the rise. The Texans opened the 2012 campaign upsetting nationally ranked Midwestern State, 20-17, and the team looked poised for greatness. After downing the No. 4-ranked team in the nation, Tarleton would hit the road for a neutral contest against Abilene Christian that would be played at Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, Texas. Tarleton took a three-point lead into the locker room, but the Wildcats came back with a stifling defense and defeated the Texans 3431. The team would battle back the next week with a win over Eastern New Mexico, but Tarleton would not win back-to-back contests until late October and early November. The Texans managed to go on the road and upset Gulf South Conference super-team North Alabama on the second to final week of the season and then defeat Angelo State in the season finale to earn wins in its final three games. Quarterback Jake Fenske set a school record with a 99-yard touchdown toss against UNA and then set the new school record for yards passing in a game against ASU, collecting 460 yards on the evening. Tarleton finished the season 6-4 overall and 5-3 in the LSC. Fowler and the Texans continued their upswing in the 2014 campaign as Tarleton secured its third Lone Star Conference Championship in school history with a 7-3 record and 5-1 record in the LSC. The highlight game of the season came at Memorial Stadium on Oct. 12 when the Texans entered their home opener with a perfect 4-0 record but fell behind 27-3 in the opening half of football. Tarleton fought back and, on the strength of several incredible, clutch catches from Le’Nard Meyers, pulled off the incredible upset of the nation’s No. 4 ranked team with a 3127 victory to beat the Buffs for the first time since 2004. After nearly 100 years of Tarleton football action, including 48 as a senior college, the Texans have never been stronger over a longer period of time. Clearly, the best is yet to come for the Proud Defenders of the Purple and White. The 2014 campaign will be another exciting chapter in the annals J.W. Boren (1999-2002) is Tarleton’s all-time leading scorer with 313 career of Tarleton football history.

1ST ROUND • NOVEMBER 17, 2001 BEEBE, ELLIOTT FIELD • CHADRON, NEB. (5,400)
TEXANS DOWN NO. 3-RANKED CHADRON STATE 28-24 FOR SCHOOL’S FIRST-EVER NCAA DIVISION II PLAYOFF VICTORY CHADRON, Neb. - Tarleton State’s defense limited a high-powered Chadron State offense to just three points in the second half as the Texans rallied past the Eagles 28-24 in first-round action of the NCAA Division II football playoffs. The Texans trailed 21-7 late in the first half after quarterback Steve Kelly fumbled and Chadron’s Aric Lopez returned it five yards for a touchdown. That play seemingly gave the Eagles all the momentum heading to halftime. Kelly and Texans came right back and managed to cut their deficit to 21-14 with a quick 11-play drive that culminated with a 3-yard touchdown catch by tight end Kyle Masters, slicing the Chadron lead to seven points with 30 seconds left in the half. Chadron upped its lead to 24-14 with Ryan Larson’s 24-yard field goal on the Eagles’ first second-half possession, but the Texans’ defense would dominate from there, allowing Chadron to only 77 yards in their final four drives. The Texans limited Chadron to 0-for-4 on 3rd-down conversions and 0-for-2 on 4th-down tries in the final quarter. Tarleton squelched the Eagles’ fake punt attempt on 4th-and-1 at the Tarleton 44-yard line with 6:20 left, and the Texans stopped Chadron on a 4th-and-3 at the CSC 26 with 2:12 to play. Tarleton’s offense managed two lengthy scoring drives to complete the rally, first going 72 yards in 12 plays to score on running back Chavis McCollister’s 5-yard run late in the third quarter. D.T. Hopkins plowed up the middle from four yards out with 9:46 left in the game to put the Texans ahead 28-24, with that short touchdown run being set up by a 42-yard halfback pass from McCollister to wide receiver Damien Jackson.

QUARTERFINALS • NOVEMBER 24, 2001 TOOMEY FIELD • DAVIS, CALIF. (5,377)
AGGIES OUTSCORE TEXANS 21-8 IN FOURTH QUARTER; TARLETON’S SEASON ENDS IN 42-25 LOSS DAVIS, Calif. - Glenn Adriatico of UC Davis returned a fourth-quarter kickoff 66 yards for a touchdown and scored again less than two minutes later on a 55-yard reception as the Aggies pulled away from Tarleton State for a 42-25 victory in the NCAA Division II quarterfinals. UC Davis overcame Tarleton leads of 7-0 and 17-14 to pick up the win. The Aggies took a 21-17 lead in the third quarter as RB Sean Holleman scored his third TD of the game, then Davis got the ball right back after a Tarleton punt and pushed its edge to 28-17 on the first play of the fourth quarter with Mike Oliva’s 19-yard TD catch. The Texans answered as Tarleton QB Steve Kelly completed 5 of 7 passes on a 9-play drive that ended with Kelly hitting Aaron Lucas on a 14-yard TD pass. Chavis McCollister then scored on a 2-point conversion run, cutting the UC Davis lead to just 28-25 with 11:40 left in the game. Tarleton was flagged for an offsides penalty on the ensuing kickoff, and after being forced to kickoff again, Adriatico gathered the ball at his own 34-yard line and raced unscathed in front of the Tarleton bench for the game-breaking TD. The Texans picked up one first down on the next possession before turning the ball over on downs at the UC Davis 45-yard line. That’s where QB J.T. O’Sullivan delivered the knockout punch, hitting Adriatico in stride over the middle for a 55-yard TD toss at the 9:28 mark. The score was tied 14-14 at halftime, with Tarleton turning the ball over twice in UC Davis territory, including a D.T. Hopkins fumble at the Aggies 1-yard line. Tarleton gained 489 yards on 76 plays but was just 2 of 13 on 3rddown conversions, compared to an 8 for 11 effort by the Aggies

1ST ROUND • NOVEMBER 22, 2003 JAVELINA STADIUM • KINGSVILLE, TEXAS (9,500)
TURNOVERS, JAVELINA DEFENSE DOOM TEXANS IN FIRST ROUND OF PLAYOFFS KINGSVILLE, Texas - The Tarleton State football team offered too many chances to Texas A&M-Kingsville on Saturday and lost 34-10 in the first round of the NCAA Division II playoffs. The No. 21 Texansʼ Justin Parson fumbled the opening kickoff to put the Javelinas at the Texansʼ 37-yard line. The other problem with the ballgame for the Texans was the time of possession. The Javelinas won that stat 37:21 to 22:29. The Texans (8-4) also lost the turnover battle, giving up the fumble and a 68-yard interception return by TAMUKʼs Micahel Bragg. Bragg intercepted Tarleton quarterback Cliff Watkins at the goaline and returned it to the Tarleton 32. Problem No. 4 was the TAMUK defense. The Javelinas held the Texans 202 yards below their season offensive output, including 132 yards below the average passing game. TAMUK (10-1) got on the board first when Richard Hammond nailed a 44-yard field goal with 4:11 on the clock, capping a six-play, 12 yard drive that took 2:39 off the clock. A seven-yard Texan punt put TAMUK in good field position. Larry Williams put the Javelinas on the scoreboard again when he punched it in from four yards out. That capped a five-play, 25 yard drive that was set up when Chris Peterson, the Texan punter, had just a 19yard punt. Watkins scored his first rushing touchdown of the season when he ran a bootleg in from nine yards out. Jamie Guin added the kick with 11:50 left in the game to move the Texans within three, 10-7. The Javelinas got on the board with 1:05 left in the first half when Brent Holmes caught a 15-yard pass from Daniel Taylor. That play was set up by a 32- yard punt return by Eddie Moten to the Tarleton 19. Guin added a 48-yard field goal for the last Texan score with 11:50 left in the third quarter. TAMUK score three more times in the ballgame. Richard Hammond hit a 23-yard field goal with 8:07 left in the game to cap a 15-play, 51-yard drive. Holmes caught a 27-yard pass from Taylor with 5:25 left in the contest. That drive was set up by the Bragg interception. Williams put the final nail in the coffin when he punched it in from two yards out with 2:36 remaining. The Texans turned the ball over on downs in the middle of the field for the second time in the game. Williams ran for 36 yards on the play before the touchdown to set up the score.

1ST ROUND • NOVEMBER 14, 2009 JAVELINA STADIUM • KINGSVILLE, TEXAS (13,352)
TEXANS MOVE ON TO SECOND ROUND; UPSET JAVELINAS 57-56 IN DOUBLE OVERTIME THRILLER KINGSVILLE, Texas – In one of the most dramatic games in school and NCAA history, the No. 12 Tarleton Texans needed a come-from-behind victory and double overtime to advance to the second round of the NCAA Division II playoffs with a 57-56 win at No. 13 Texas A&M-Kingsville Saturday in front of a crowd of over 13,000 people. Tarleton improved to 10-2 on the season after quarterback Scott Grantham scored on a 20-yard run in the second overtime to pull Tarleton within one before running the two-point conversion in by himself to give the Texans the win. Overtime was set up with a 64-yard field goal by Tarleton’s Garrett Lindholm to tie the game as time expired after the Javelinas had scored with under a minute left in regulation. The kick was the second longest field goal in NCAA Division II history. Another record was set in the game when Devin Guinn set a new school mark for career receiving touchdowns with 26, passing Jeremy Madkins who earned 25 in 2003-06. With the Javelinas driving, Dominic Smith recovered a Javelina fumble at the Tarleton 23-yard line with just seconds left in the third quarter. The Texans then drove 77 yards over 14 plays and 6:59 and took the lead when Roderick Smith put the ball into the end zone from 11 yards out. Lindholm’s kick was good, and with 8:22 left in the contest, Tarleton led 43-39. Tarleton had three third-down conversions and one fourth-down conversion during the scoring drive. The Javelinas got the ball back with 4:56 left in the game and drove 61 yards on nine plays and scored the go-ahead touchdown. Brom’s kick put the score at 46-43 with 45 seconds left on the clock. Tarleton started at its own 26 with a false start penalty. Facing fourth and 18, Grantham hit Arthur Buckingham on a 35-yard pass for a first down. Then, facing a third and 10 from the Kingsville 47, Lindholm hit the kick that tied the game at 46 from 64 yards out as time expired. Buckingham had the hold, Kyle Piercefield the snap. Tarleton loss the coin toss in overtime and had the ball first. The Texans got to the eight, but Lindholm was forced to kick a 27-yard field goal after a delay of game penalty to go ahead 49-46. TAMUK then drove to the Tarleton two, but the Javelinas also had to kick, Brom’s good from 19 yards. The Javelinas then got the ball first in the second overtime, and TAMUK scored on a two-yard run from Winborn. The kick by Brom made it 56-49 and forced the Texans to do the same. Robertson started from the 25 and gained five yards before two incomplete passes forced the Texans into a fourth and five from the 20. Grantham scrambled to the right and saw an opening, and after breaking several tackles and spinning into the end zone, the Texans trailed by just one point. The Tarleton coaches called for the two-point conversion, and Grantham again went to the right side on a keeper and found the winning two-point conversion to give the Texans the 57-56 double overtime victory. Tarleton finished the afternoon with 530 yards of total offense, including 234 yards rushing and 296 yards through the air. The Javelinas had 402 yards of offense, including 238 yards on the ground and 164 yards passing. Robertson has 19 carries for 131 yards and a touchdown while Roderick Smith had 13 carries for 67 and a score. Grantham had five rushes for 35 yards and a score while Demby had two carries for one yard and a touchdown.

QUARTERFINALS • NOVEMBER 21, 2009 TOMLINSON STADIUM • ELLENSBURG, WASH. (5,400)
TEXAN OFFENSE LIMITED TO JUST THREE FIELD GOALS AS CWU WINS SECOND ROUND PLAYOFF GAME 27-6 ELLENSBURG, Wash. - The No. 12 Tarleton Texans had a hard time running the ball Saturday in the second round of the NCAA Division II playoff against No. 1 Central Washington, and just nine first downs were logged by the Texans in a 27-6 loss in Ellensburg, Wash. Tarleton’s season closed with the loss as the Texans finished 11-3 overall. The Texans handed the ball over on two fumbles, and the Wildcats scored 10 points off of those turnovers, while the Texans had an interception and had just three points. One of the Texan turnovers was deep into Wildcat territory. The Texans gained just 178 yards of total offense, Tarleton’s second worse out of the season after Abilene Christian held Tarleton to 172 total yards. On Saturday, Tarleton gained 192 yards through the air, but the Texans were limited to minus-17 yards on the ground. Bradley Bullitt intercepted a Cole Morgan pass and then lateralled the ball to Jeremy Sifford who returned it to the CWU 39-yard line to set up the first score of the game when Garrett Lindholm made a 39-yard field goal with 4:07 left in the first quarter. The score came after six plays and Tarleton covered just four yards in the scoring drive to make it 3-0 Texans. On the next drive for the Wildcats, Morgan hit Johnny Spevak for a 48yard touchdown. Garrett Rolsma had the extra point to put the home team ahead 7-3 with 2:33 left in the opening quarter. The drive took three plays to cover 50 yards. The Wildcats stretched the lead to 14-3 with 10:16 left in the first half when Randall Eldridge punched it in from two yards away. Rolsma added the kick to cap the two-play 15-yard drive that was set up by a Roderick Smith fumble at the Tarleton 22-yard line. The ball was scooped up by Taylor Breitzman and returned to the Tarleton 15. The Texans took the next drive 48 yards on 10 plays in 4:03 to set up a 31yard field goal by Lindholm. The Texans trailed 14-6 with 6:03 on the clock. CWU then added a field goal with 1:39 remaining in the second quarter when Rolsma connected on a 27-yard attempt to close an eight-play, 71yard drive that took 4:24 off the clock. The Wildcats led 17-6 at the half. The Texans stopped the Wildcats’ first drive of the second half, and the offense was driving down the field when Roderick Smith caught a screen pass from Scott Grantham, but the senior running back again fumbled – this time at the CWU 23-yard line. The home team then took the ball 69 yards on six plays to stretch its lead to 20-6 when Rolsma hit a 30-yard field goal with 8:07 left in the third quarter. Neither team scored again until the Wildcats put the last point of the game on the board. Eldridge punched the ball in from three yards out to end a nine-play, 67-yard drive. The kick by Rolsma put the final tally on the board with CWU winning, 27-6. Evan Robertson had 26 yards to lead the Texans’ rushing game on 10 carries. Keith Demby had one carry for two yards while Smith had five carries for minus-six yards and both fumbles. Grantham was 14-of-33 for 192 yards and was sacked twice. Devin Guinn led the team with three catches for 45 yards while Arthur Buckingham had three receptions for 34 yards. The Wildcats totaled 409 yards of total offense, including 122 yards on the ground and 287 yards through the air. Morgan was 21-of-31 for 287 yards and a touchdown with one sack and one interception. Spevak led the squad with five catches for 97 yards and a score while Eldridge had 18 carries for 101 yards and two touchdowns. Tarleton is now 2-3 all-time in Division II playoff games.

THE LONE STAR CONFERENCE

L
ong known as a leader in intercollegiate athletics, the Lone Star Conference Map Lone Star Conference (LSC) is an innovative athletics conference LSC Members that aims to provide a superior competitive experience for Angelo State - San Angelo, Texas member institutions and to allow for comprehensive development Eastern New Mexico - Portales, New Mexico of student-athletes through academic services and life skills McMurry - Abilene, Texas programming. The LSC continues to build upon its proud history Midwestern State - Wichita Falls, Texas while intending to be recognized as the premier NCAA Division II Tarleton State - Stephenville, Texas conference in the nation. The league’s mission is to Texas A&M-Commerce - Commerce, Texas provide comprehensive studentathlete experiences in highTexas A&M-Kingsville - Kingsville, Texas level athletic competition, with particular dedication to studentWest Texas A&M - Canyon, Texas athlete development, graduation success, sportsmanship, ethical conduct, community engagement, and expanding opportunities. The LSC - founded on April 25, 1931 - has developed from a five-team conference of Texas-based schools to a nine-member league that spans three states (Texas, Oklahoma and New Mexico). The league continues to assist its member institutions in the maintenance of intercollegiate athletic programs that are compatible with the highest standards of education and competitive sports. Throughout the league’s 83-year history, various institutions have competed under the LSC banner. Today, only Texas A&M University-Commerce (then East Texas State) remains from the original group that was formed in 1931 when North Texas State, Southwest Texas State, Sam Houston State and Stephen F. Austin withdrew from the old Texas Intercollegiate Athletic Association. The membership alignment has changed over the years, with current members having been added from 1954 to 1995. Texas A&M-Kingsville (formerly Texas A&I) joined in 1954, and Angelo State in 1968. Conference membership remained within the Texas borders until 1984 when Eastern New Mexico was admitted. Since then, the LSC has included members from Arkansas and Oklahoma. Cameron (1988, 1996) was added near the outset of an expansion phase, while Texas Woman’s (1989) and previous members West Texas A&M (1986, 1993) and Tarleton State (1968, 1994) joined the league soon after. Midwestern State was admitted early in 1995, while Harding reconnected with the league as an affiliate member in track and field in 2013. In 2014, McMurry returned as an affiliate member in indoor and outdoor track and field, and football. Past members of the LSC include Trinity, Houston, Lamar, Howard Payne, Sul Ross State, McMurry, Harding, Ouachita Baptist, Central Oklahoma, East Central (Okla.), Northeastern State (Okla.), Southeastern Oklahoma, Southwestern Oklahoma, Abilene Christian and Incarnate Word. While the LSC has maintained a long-standing tradition of competitive athletic programs for its members, many teams and individuals have gone on to distinguish themselves on the national stage. Entering 2014-15, LSC member institutions have collected 75 NCAA national championships since the league joined the Division II membership in 1982. West Texas A&M supplied the most recent addition to that total by claiming the softball championship this past spring. The LSC conducts conference championships in 16 sports (seven men and nine women). Men’s championships include football, cross country, basketball, baseball, indoor track and field, outdoor track and field and golf. Women’s titles are determined in volleyball, soccer, cross country, basketball, softball, indoor track and field, outdoor track and field, tennis and golf. The conference office is located in Richardson, Texas, a northern suburb of Dallas. Jay Poerner (Compliance) serves as the interim Commissioner and is assisted by Melanie Robotham (Media Relations) and Tommy Wright (Corporate Jay Poerner Melanie Robotham Tommy Wright Sales and Marketing).

LSC HALL OF HONOR
Former Tarleton State football standout James Dearth has been named one of three inductees into the Lone Star Conference Hall of Honor, the league office announced in early August. Along with Dearth, the 2013 inductees also includes another football standout in Angelo State’s Clayton Weishuhn and a previous sports information director, Garner Roberts from Abilene Christian. These former players and administration staff make up the 2013 class of inductees for the LSC Hall of Honor, which recognizes outstanding individuals who have brought pride and honor to the conference through their contributions as an athlete or who have demonstrated a longterm commitment to the betterment of the conference as a coach or administrator. The inductees were chosen by a panel of athletic administrators throughout the league. “This year’s class is very deserving and seems to represent the contrasting ways people have been associated with our league over the years. You have a guy like James, who accomplished a whole lot in a very brief period of time, and then a guy like Garner, who really has made lifelong contributions to the conference. And, of course, Clayton’s experience of achieving individual success while also helping his team to accomplish national prominence is to be celebrated. These three truly speak to the tradition of our conference and are joining their rightful place among other Lone Star Conference greats,” said LSC Commissioner Stan Wagnon. Each of the inductees will receive the LSC’s signature Hall of Honor award, a 15-inch custom-sculpted eagle figurine mounted on a cherry wood base. The awards for Dearth, Roberts and Weishuhn are to be presented this fall. Here is a closer look at each of the 2013 inductees to the LSC Hall of Honor: James Dearth, Tarleton State, Football: Dearth, who is TSU’s first LSC Hall of Honor inductee, was a two-time second team All-American in football and an All-American in the shot put. Drafted in 1996 in the sixth round by the Cleveland Browns, he is a 12-year veteran of the NFL as a deep snapper. Dearth played for the Texans from 1996-98, tallying 77 catches for 992 yards and nine TDs in three seasons. He actually started at quarterback in TSU’s opening game in 1996 before moving to tight end, where he twice was named first team All-LSC South Division and second team NCAA Division II All-America. The Scurry, Texas, native was named the 1998 LSC South Offensive Lineman of the Year as he finished his senior season with 19 catches for 333 yards in the final four games. He also earned All-America honors in the shot put in 1998 while competing for Tarleton’s track and field team. Dearth was inducted into the TSU Hall of Fame in 2012. Dearth was enshrined into the Tarleton Athletics Hall of Fame Garner Roberts, Abilene Christian, Sports Information Director: Roberts served ACU as its Sports Information Director for 25 years from 1973-98, watching the Wildcats win 41 national championships and 89 Lone Star Conference titles, and then worked at the university in various marketing roles until 2004. He also served as the LSC media relations director from 1984-95, while still performing his duties at ACU. Roberts was inducted into the ACU Sports Hall of Fame in October 1999 as the 11th recipient of the Lifetime Achievement Award. A 1970 ACU graduate, he has worked at athletics events all over the globe, including track and field opening and closing ceremonies at the 1984 Olympic Games in Los Angeles. In 1987, Roberts received CoSIDA’s Warren Berg Award and is a member of the CoSIDA Hall of Fame.
Clayton Weishuhn, Angelo State, Football: Weishuhn was a three-time first team All-LSC selection during his career from 1978-81 and one of the top defensive players to wear an ASU uniform. He played during the most successful era in Ram football as ASU posted a 39-8-1 record during his four years with the program. Weishuhn was a part of Ram teams that made three-straight postseason appearances, the only such streak in school history. As a freshman, he was a member of the ASU football team that won the 1978 NAIA national championship, going 14-0, the program’s only undefeated season. Weishuhn ended his playing career as the Rams’ all-time leading tackler with 523 stops, a record that he still holds to this day. After earning second team All-American honors as a junior, he was a consensus first team All-American pick after his senior season in 1981 after setting the school record with 173 tackles. Weishuhn earned first team All-LSC acclaim after each of his three final seasons (1979-81) and was a two-time selection for the J.V. Sikes Award (1980-81) given to the outstanding lineman in the LSC. He is one of nine former ASU players to go on to a playing career in the NFL as he was drafted by the New England Patriots in the third round of the 1982 draft.

After one of the most illustrious careers in Tarleton football history, Dashaun Phillips signed a post-draft contract with his hometown team the Dallas Cowboys. At Tarleton, Phillips was an All-American and Coach Cary Fowler said of his former player, “Dashaun had great numbers and they would have been a lot better, but that’s because he was the least-tested corner back in the country. He was a gamechanger. He took away complete sides of the field.” Phillips received the largest signing bonus of all of Dallas’ free agent contract signees after the 2014 draft. PHILLIPS AT TARLETON 2010 44 tackles, 8 defl., 3 INTs 2011 50 tackles, 15 defl., 7 INTs 2012 32 tackles, 9 defl., 1 INT 2013 50 tackles, 7 defl., 1 INT

TARLETON MEMORIAL STADIUM Memorial Stadium on the campus of Tarleton State University
was completed in 1977. Recent renovations to the west stands has increased seating capacity to 7,000 spectators for athletic events. The concrete bleachers rest against a dirt berm on the east (home) side of the field with a center section featuring 750 seats with back rests forming a purple “T”. The lower level features a concession stand with restrooms, while the press box resides on the upper level. The press box is heated and air-conditioned and is more than 100 feet long. It includes ample working space for press, scouts, sideline communications, film crews, statisticians, public address announcer, scoreboard operators, home and visitor radio stations, and a VIP room. The Memorial Stadium field surface got a new look in 2004 when artificial turf was added. The endzones are painted purple with white lettering: Tarleton in the south zone and Texans in the north zone. There is a block T in the middle of the field facing the home side. A jumbotron was also installed on the north end of the field with the old scoreboard being moved to the south end of the stadium. In 2006, a new restroom and concession area was built on the visitor’s side of the stadium. Oscar Frazier Memorial Track, an eight-lane, all-weather track borders the artificial grass football field and is encircled by a chain link fence. The stadium is bordered east and west by hardsurfaced parking lots, north by the intramural complex, and south by the Physical Education Field Facility, completed in 1989.

The Texans practice on the northeast corner of the fields adjacent to Memorial Stadium. The Tarleton football program has two complete fields that offer plenty of room for the Texans to workout and prepare for competition. The fields are marked with lines and hash marks so that the Texans will have the best preparation for game day. Next to the two fields is a short field marked for individual and group workouts. The Texans are the only team practicing on the fields in the fall, though the south end of the fields is converted to a throwing area during track and field season, and the facility is locked when the Texans are not practicing.

D
r. F. Dominic Dottavio, the 15th President of Tarleton State University, has focused the university team on providing a transformative educational experience through a student-focused, value-driven approach. Rooted in six core values – integrity, leadership, tradition, civility, excellence and service – Tarleton seeks to provide academic innovation, distinguished engagement with its communities and exemplary service. Since becoming President in 2008, Dr. Dottavio has led the university to record enrollments, added new undergraduate and graduate programs and opened new and renovated facilities providing state-ofthe-art technologies and teaching spaces. The renovated O.A. Grant Humanities building includes a modern communications teaching studio and laboratory as well as classrooms designed for team teaching and audiovisual support. The Dick Smith Library has opened a new Learning Commons to better provide students with the access and resources for effective study today. A new 500-bed residential living and learning center opened this fall to provide a more intensive educational experience for those with common interests and aspirations.
“Tarleton spirit and pride can be felt in the passion for our traditions and comes alive through our student-athletes when they are on the field, court and track. A successful athletic program like we have at Tarleton lifts the spirit of the entire Stephenville community.” - Dr. Dottavio With a record enrollment this fall nearing 12,000 students, including the rapid growth of academic centers in Fort Worth, Waco, Midlothian and online, Dr. Dottavio is overseeing a review of the campus master plan. Broaddus Planning is providing a guide for future Stephenville campus development, with potential projects to include a remodeling of Memorial Stadium, additional residence facilities and new academic buildings. Tarleton’s annual operating budget of $160 million makes a significant impact on the regional and state economy. Through its five academic colleges and the College of Graduate Studies, Tarleton employs more than 1,000 faculty and staff. Its economic impact reaches up to eight times its yearly expenses, including additional expenditures for capital construction projects. Faculty, staff and students also contribute to area communities through their civic and cultural engagements, including the annual Tarleton Round-Up Day when hundreds of Tarleton volunteers perform public services for the community, particularly senior citizens. Well-known to students and the community for being engaged and accessible, President Dottavio and his wife, Dr. C. Lisette Dottavio, CPA and senior tax accountant, live on campus in the historic Trogdon House, the first Tarleton President to do so since the home’s namesake, President W.O. Trogdon. Having grown up in Massillon, Ohio, Dr. Dottavio earned a bachelor’s degree in Natural Resource Management from The Ohio State University, a master’s degree in Environmental Studies from Yale
University, and a Ph.D. from Purdue University’s College of Agriculture. As regional chief scientist for the National Park Service, U.S. Department of Interior, he led research programs in coastal zone management, ecosystem restoration and conservation biology. Ohio State selected Dr. Dottavio from among 350,000 alumni to receive its Distinguished Citizenship Award and Purdue University recognized him as a Distinguished Alumnus of the College of Agriculture. Dr. Dottavio returned to higher education as the chief executive officer of The Ohio State University at Marion campus, where he also was a professor in the College of Food, Agricultural and Environmental Sciences. He became President of Heidelberg University, a 164-year-old private college in Tiffin, Ohio, prior to coming to Tarleton. The Dottavios have two grown children: Adrea, who lives in College station, and Aaron, who lives with his wife, Lyndsey, and their son, Dominic, in Fountain Hills, Arizona.

TARLETON TRADITIONS The Texan Mascot
Formed when Tarleton was a junior college, the Ten Tarleton Peppers (TTP) and Ten Tarleton Sisters (TTS) are the two oldest organizations on campus. These spirit organizations for men and women were formed in 1921 and 1923 respectively. New members of these secret organizations are selected by current members. When first organized, the two groups met late at night and prepared signs for upcoming athletic events. The basic signs at this time were made of canvas and were stretched between trees on campus. The clubs met in the attic of the old recreation hall which is now the Administration Annex. The identities of the senior members were disclosed in group photos when the yearbooks were distributed. Senior members stood facing the camera while others faced away from the camera with various and sundry items placed over their heads. The groups are sponsored by faculty and staff members.
Upon joining The Texas A&M University System in 1917, the Tarleton athletic teams became known as the “Junior Aggies.” In 1924, Coach W.J. Wisdom became disenchanted with the name and held a contest to select a new mascot. The winner would receive $5 and Wisdom would be the sole judge. One day, Wisdom was walking across campus and contemplating the fact that Tarleton was primarily an agricultural school when the name “Plowboys” popped into his head. He immediately adopted the new mascot and kept the $5. The symbol of the Plowboys was a muscular young man in overalls pushing a hand plow. In 1950, the mascot withstood a challenge when four additional names were suggested for a student vote. Plowboys won by a 2-1 margin. With the University’s changing image, however, another election was held in 1961 and students approved the name “Texans.” The horse and rider became the new athletic mascot of the University.
Purple Poo The TTS and TTP were precursors of the modern Purple Poo. The stillsecret organization makes Poo signs each Monday night, which appear on campus every Tuesday morning. The signs occasionally comment on campus political life and student life, but most promote school spirit. These signs are nailed to trees on campus. Members appear in public dressed in costumes and identity is closely guarded.
The Plowboys In 1984, a group of interested students established a spirit organization on campus and re-adopted the name “Plowboys,” which was the former mascot of the athletic teams. The Plowboys attend athletic events and other campus activities and are familiar to students because of their white shirts, hats and purple chaps.
Oscar P Legend has it that John Tarleton, founder of the University, had a pet duck named Oscar P who went everywhere with him. The two were so close that Oscar P is said to be buried with Tarleton. At various student activities, the Purple Poo rally Tarleton students by raising the spirit of Oscar P. This is done by kneeling and pounding the ground while calling out “Hey, Oscar P.” Although this has become one of the favorite traditions, there is no evidence to verify the story.
The Airplane Incident
The Purple Poo is one of the oldest secret spirit organizations in the State of Texas.
At the height of the Tarleton-North Texas Agriculture College rivalry, frequent raids by opposing students were common. Bonfires were the primary objectives, and as described in the J-TAC newspaper (Tarleton’s school paper), the students were driven by “the desire to cause premature conflagration of the accumulated rubbish.” On Nov. 29, two days before the traditional football game, and in retaliation for the burning of the NTAC bonfire by Tarleton students the night before, an NTAC student and accomplice flew over the Tarleton campus and attempted to bomb the bonfire. In their efforts to repel the air attack, Tarleton students on guard threw various objects at the plane. L.V. Risinger hurled a 2x4 into the air which struck the propeller and disabled the aircraft. The pilot glided over what is now the Hall of Presidents and crash-landed in a clump of trees. While the NTAC student and his buddy were launching the air attack, three truck loads of NTAC students were attempting to invade campus by land. Both the land and air attacks were repulsed. The NTAC students were captured, given a block-T haircut and sent on their way. The Homecoming bonfire has been dedicated to L.V. Risinger, defender of the bonfire, who died in 1994.

Student Recreation Sports Center The new 70,000 square-foot sports recreation center, complete with weight rooms, track and gym, opened in the fall of 2007. The twostory building holds four racquetball courts, a weight room, cardio equipment as well as multi-purpose rooms, climbing wall and “outdoor pursuits” area, allowing students the opportunity to sign up for such outdoor items as kayaks, tents and camping equipment. The Tarleton Rec Sports Center’s mission is to provide opportunities to engage in activities, programs and special events that promote healthy active lifestyles, leadership development, social interaction and educational opportunities. These opportunities exist through programs, services and facilities that reflect the diverse needs of the Tarleton State University family. The facility is located adjacent to the home side of Memorial Stadium.
Dining Facility
Tarleton State University has completed a state-ofthe-art dining facility. The building opened in 2010, ending 80 years of service for the old facility. The 42,000 squarefoot structure replaced the original dining hall constructed in 1928 and features buffet lines with various cuisines and a salad bar. The two-story facility also features a convenience store, executive meeting rooms and a cafe with wireless networks. Tarleton’s previous dining hall only accommodated approximately 350 students at one time, whereas the new facility has a capacity of 700 students. For student convenience, the new dining hall is an extension of the Barry B. Thompson Student Center. The facility sits between the student center and the Tarleton Control Center on Vanderbilt Street in the center of the campus.

TARLETON ATHLETIC FACILITIES Tarleton Softball Complex
Cecil Ballow Baseball Complex has been home to Tarleton State baseball since the program was reinstated in 1988. Construction of the facility began in January of 1987, and it was officially named the Cecil Ballow Baseball Complex in December of the same year to honor the school’s former Dean of Students who also was a pioneer in baseball at Tarleton, coaching the team for 10 years. The field sits adjacent to the Tarleton Horticultural Building on the south side of West Washington Street (Business 377). The playing surface is natural grass and the outfield is framed in center and right by pecan trees. The left field fence runs parallel to Washington Street with a state-of-the-art scoreboard in left center field. The dimensions of the field are 320 feet down the lines, 365 feet in the alleys, and 400 feet to center. An extended net behind and above the left field fence keeps homerun balls from entering traffic on Washington Street. In 1996 the field was given a new look with the addition of a 120’ long and 10’ high extension to the centerfield fence. The field was lighted for nighttime play in March of 1990. The baseball facility features red brick enclosed dugouts, while permanent seating for 550 spectators wraps around the fence behind home plate. There are bleacher seats down the baselines and the reserved center section has chairback seating. A fully functional press box is located atop of the center seating section and provides ample working space for the scoreboard operator, official statistician and members of the media.
The Tarleton State University Softball Complex has served as home to the TexAnns since the program was started in 1996. Construction on the field began in the spring of 1995 and the field was ready for play in January of 1996. Lights were added to the facility prior to the 2012 season. Tarleton played its first varsity game on the field on February 19, 1996, winning the second game of a doubleheader against Schreiner College in extra innings. The field dimensions are 190’ down the lines and 220’ to straight away centerfield. The field itself is laid out in the same direction as the adjacent Cecil Ballow Field, Tarleton’s home for baseball games. A scoreboard is in left field and the field is surrounded by chain link fence with windscreen. Among the improvements since the field was initially constructed are the installation of permanent bleachers with a seating capacity of 250, the construction of a press box, and the painting of the Tarleton softball logo (by former Tarleton third baseman Jalayne Rinewalt) on the Tarleton (third-base side) dugout. The grounds also include a hitting tunnel, locker rooms and storage facilities.
Tarleton Memorial Stadium Memorial Stadium on the campus of Tarleton State University was completed in 1977. An artificial surface was installed by ProGreen on the field in 2004, turning the surface into one of the best in the Lone Star Conference. Recent renovations to the west stands has increased seating capacity to 7,000 spectators for athletic events. The concrete bleachers rest against a dirt berm on the east (home) side of the field with a center section featuring 816 seats with back rests forming a purple “T”. The lower level features a concession stand with restrooms, while the press box resides on the upper level. The press box is heated and air-conditioned and is more than 100 feet long. It includes ample working space for press, scouts, sideline communications, film crews, statisticians, public address announcer, scoreboard operators, home and visitor radio stations, and a VIP room. Oscar Frazier Memorial Track - an eight-lane, all-weather track - borders the artificial grass football field. The stadium is bordered east and west by hard-surfaced parking lots, north by the intramural complex, and south by the Physical Education Field Facility, completed in 1989. The stadium is easy to access from Business 377 (Washington Street) by turning at the Harbin Street intersection.
Wisdom Gym Wisdom Gymnasium is located in the Health and Physical Education Building on the northwest corner of the campus, adjacent to Memorial Stadium. The facility serves as home for Tarleton Basketball and Volleyball. The gymnasium, named for long-time Tarleton athletics director and coach W.J. Wisdom, was built in 1970 at a cost of $1.3 million. A $1.7 million expansion project was completed in 1977. The total physical education complex covers 114,343 square feet of floor space. The Texan and TexAnn basketball teams play in the main gym that seats 3,000 spectators in both the upper and lower seating arrangements combined. Seating on the lower south side has chair backs, which were installed in 1999. The new hardwood floor has been refinished and has an updated paint job with the 3D ‘T’ logo in center court. Prior to the 2012-13 season, the railings of the upper deck were replaced by glass windows - replacing the old iron rails. The men’s and women’s basketball locker rooms have received several updates over the last couple of years, including new carpeting, new lockers and new technology for watching film. New scoreboards were placed on both ends of the gym, replacing the old four-way scoreboard above halfcourt, prior to the 2013-14 season. A new video board was also installed. The TexAnn volleyball team plays in its own gym, known as the “South Gym” or the “Volleyball Gym.” The extra gymnasium was completed in 1977 as part of a $1.7 million expansion project to the existing building and quickly became the home court for the TexAnn volleyball team. The court is a hardwood floor which can be viewed by a capacity crowd of 700 spectators.

IRON TEXAN WEIGHT ROOM
164
T
arleton State University’s Athletic Weight Room at Wisdom Gym sets the standard for the Lone Star Conference strength and conditioning facilities. With the overall goal of producing successful elite level teams, the purpose of the program is to maximize athletic potential in each and every athlete through periodized year-round training. Texan and TexAnn athletes elevate their athletic potential and athletic success as measured through the ability to move more freely and controlled while reducing injury potential (and decreased healing time, if an injury does occur). Assistant Athletics Director for Athletic Performance Rod Cole leads the way in providing Tarleton State University athletes with an intense workout specifically aimed at maximizing potential and gaining a competitive edge. The focus and intensity in the weight room is targeted to be the same as in a game; thus, athletes attack the weights with high intensity, replicating movements of the sport. The spacious two level, high ceiling facility holds over 17,000 pounds of free weights and is a major reason why Tarleton is able to aggressively hit the weights. As most sports are upright power sports involving multi-joint movements, the Tarleton program is aligned to support these movements by being equipped with 10 Olympic-style platforms, Hammer Strength equipment, 10 Power Lift Squat Racks and Power Lift Benches. The human body has a large dependency on the core (not just the abs) to move; therefore emphasis is placed on developing the core in the weight room. Athletes lift a large percentage of the time on their feet performing explosive free weight, multi-joint/muscle exercises to replicate movements and work the core. Explosive lifts using dumbbells, barbells and kettlebells are used to train speed, strength and power. The cardiovascular area is located on the second level, over looking the weight room, with an array of equipment from Life Fitness including treadmills, elliptical machines, stair steppers, a recumbent bike and a Cybex Arc Trainer. A majority of athletes train on campus during the summer as a result of the success of our athletic teams and the competitive edge gained. During the summer, a high emphasis is placed on helping athletes make great strides toward their athletic performance through integrated speed, conditioning and plyometric training in addition to their weight training. Those athletes not on campus during the summer months are provided with detailed workout plans to follow. In gaining the competitive edge, the Tarleton Athletic Performance program is much more than a weight room. The program encompasses all of the components of movement involved in speed, agility and quickness. Athletes are monitored and given specific exercises with instructions for movements needed to improve. Cole and his staff educate athletes regarding the importance of nutrition-to-athletic performance, healthy eating habits, achieving a proper bodyweight and much more.
2014 Texan Football Media Guide
onn Reisman begins his 23rd year as the athletics director at Tarleton State University where he has also begun his 27th season as head coach of the men’s basketball program. Under Reisman’s direction, Tarleton is flourishing not only on the basketball court, but in nearly every sport. The athletics director’s responsibilities extend far outside the lines on the playing surfaces. One must be more than just an administrator. He or she must also be a public relation’s specialist, a catalyst and a fundraiser. As Tarleton grows, the expecations and responsibilities grow. Reisman has spent the last 22 years focusing on building the Texan Club into one of the leading booster organizations in NCAA Division II. “Our booster club is better than a lot of Division I schools,” Reisman said. “However, the success of the club depends on raising the money every year.” The Texan Club has previously been recognized as a successful organization in the National Association of College Directors of Athletics publication for its fundraising efforts and success. “People around the country recognize we have a successful athletics program and booster club,” Reisman said. “When you walk into Wisdom Gym, it is apparent there is lots of support for our teams when you see all of the banners on the wall.” Of course, the point of the sponsorships is for more than hanging signs on the wall. “We raise a lot of money,” Reisman said. “We raise enough to fulfill 10 full scholarships, and the rest of the Lonn Reisman money goes for student-athlete enhancement through study hall tutors and monitors as well as supporting the ATHLETICS DIRECTOR programs. We definitely would not be as successful if we didn’t have the support of the Texan Club corporate sponsors and individual members.” The Texan Club has been around since the early 1990s, and Reisman said each year the organization keeps getting bigger, but so does the cost of the success. “It took over 15 years to get the sports programs to a national presence in Division II, but we want to be pushing for a national championship in every sport,” Reisman said. “Our programs are now being recognized not only on a regional level, but nationally as well.” “We are at a pivotal status in our program, and most of the sports are knocking on the door of a national championship,” Reisman said. “We have to work with the Texan Club to help provide these coaches with the support and backing they need to get there.” In a time of budget cutting and decreased spending, an athletics department should focus not on how to save money, but on how to make money. Bridging the gap between the community and the athletics department is a key to making a booster club and corporate sponsorship program effective. “The bridge we built several years ago is still solid and continues to get people involved,” Reisman said. “As you see the enthusiasm grow, the athletics director needs to learn to ask for help because he or she can’t do it all on his/her own.” The efforts of Reisman and his staff have led the Texan Club’s expansion from eight corporate members to over 190, along with over 200 individuals and 25 small businesses. They have also have reached out to former student-athletes through the T-Club. Reisman has also been involved in facility improvements while heading the Tarleton athletics programs. Memorial Stadium received an artificial surface in 2004 and a new concession stand and bathrooms have been added on the visitors’ side. The lobby of Wisdom Gym looks much different with the building of the Hall of Fame wall and trophy cases as well as cosmetic changes throughout the building. Both the Tarleton tennis courts and softball complex have been upgraded with state-of-the-art lighting systems. Another area that has improved under Reisman is athletic scholarships. Of course, the Texans joined the Lone Star Conference and the NCAA Division II ranks in 1994, and now all but two sports (men’s and women’s track and field) are fully funded in scholarship aid. In 2006, Reisman led the way for Tarleton students to vote for an athletics fee that helped fund the scholarships and improve the overall wellbeing of the athletics department and its programs. The athletics director led another charge for updated fees to increase over the next two years to help the Texans and TexAnns keep up with the rest of the LSC and nation. Reisman has also helped to push the academic success of the athletics program. The Texans and TexAnns boast a higher graduation rate than the overall university graduation rate. As basketball coach, Reisman has positioned the Texans as a national power. He led Tarleton to a 558-229 record over the past 26 seasons, with last year’s team going going 28-3, reaching as high as No. 2 in the nation, winning the Lone Star Conference regular season and tournament championship and qualifying for the NCAA Division II South Central Regional. In 2005-06, his team finished 27-7 after winning its second straight NCAA Division II South Central Regional title and reaching the Elite Eight in Springfield, Mass. To Reisman, it is not just about winning on the court that matters, he wants every Tarleton athletics program to excel both on and off the field. Graduating students is more important than winning any contest. “I want each and every program to not just say they are competing for a national championship, I want them to actually do so. I believe with the success we have had in the recent years, this should become a reality,” Lonn Reisman is not only the athletic director of Tarleton State University, but one of the most Reisman said. successful and respected basketball coaches in the nation with over 550 career wins.

In his role as a National FFA Officer, Casey took a year away from college to travel over 120,000 miles on behalf of 500,000 members. He also served two terms as Student Body President while at Tarleton and was named Mr. Tarleton State University in 2006. In May of 2013, Casey was elected to the Stephenville City Council and currently serves in that capacity. “Fans can expect a very prepared, very professional broadcast,” said Hogan. “I won’t be the most experienced broadcaster in the conference, but I will be the most prepared. We aren’t going to just focus on the sports we are able to broadcast live, but also talk about the sports that don’t get that opportunity here. We really want to bring the whole scope of Tarleton Athletics to the fans. We want to have that mix of being able to have fun, but also be professional.” Andrew Hansen will join the team in his first season as the color commentator for the Texans. Hansen is a former Stephenville High School standout who played four years for Howard Payne University in Brownwood, where he was an all-conference safety. Following his playing career, Hansen stayed on with HPU as a coach in charge of the defensive backs for two seasons and the running backs for one. He earned his Bachelor’s degree from Howard Payne in 2008 with a B.B.A in Business Management. In his radio career, he is currently in his fourth season of doing the Saturday Morning Scoreboard Show for Stephenville High School on KSTV FM (93.1). Joining the broadcast team this season is Keltin Wiens. Wiens will be the sideline reporter for Texan football broadcasts. In addition to sideline duties, Wiens will also be in charge of hosting the pre-game and post-game shows on the Tarleton Sports Network. In addition to football, Wiens will also serve as the “Voice of the TexAnns” during basketball season. Wiens comes to Stephenville after graduating from West Texas A&M University with a degree in mass communication in December 2013. While in school, Wiens covered a wide array of sports, including football, basketball, volleyball, baseball and softball.
