2019 OUTLOOK The more things change, the more they don’t for the Northwestern State baseball team. The 2019 edition of the Demons is filled with plenty of familiar faces — 25 returning lettermen and the full four-man coaching staff to be exact. With a veteran roster and the 2018 Southland Conference Tournament championship trophy in their possession, the Demons have raised outside expectations, not the ones within their locker room. “We proved last year those things really don’t matter,” third-year head coach Bobby Barbier said. “We were picked to finish 11th. It’s something for people to talk about other than in the locker room. We didn’t talk about 11th a whole lot. We’re really concentrating on practice and the work. Anything that deviates from that is not good for us.” What is good for the Demons is the amount of impactful returning players. All three members of the weekend rotation — let-hander Ridge Heisler (7-3, 3.40) and right-handers Jerry Maddox (8-3, 1.88) and Nathan Jones (4-6, 3.84) — return. Maddox was the Southland Conference and All-Louisiana Newcomer of the Year while Heisler earned third-team all-conference honors. Jones has paced the Demons in innings pitched each of the past two seasons and enters his senior year 12 innings shy of a spot in the Northwestern State career top 10. “All three of those guys are interchangeable in terms of Friday, Saturday or Sunday,” Barbier said. “What was neat to see this fall was the guys who have been here, how much better they’ve become. Guys like Nathan Jones, who’s been here for years and improved every single year.” The Demons’ arm talent doesn’t stop at their all-senior rotation. NSU returns five arms who made at least 10 relief appearances. That group also could produce a midweek starter or two. “Kyle Swanson’s one of those guys,” Barbier said. “He didn’t (after February) last year, but he was our closer two years ago. He’s healthy and getting better. Cullen (McDonald) has improved tremendously. He keeps throwing strikes and putting up numbers.” McDonald started three of his 13 appearances a season ago and tossed a pair of complete games as a sophomore. In addition to shaking out the mid-week starter spot, the Demons will work to line up a group of relievers in front of what projects as a lockdown back end of the bullpen. Closer Jose Vasquez (6-2, 4 saves) is back and could be set up by a pair of power-armed right-handers in senior Austin Reich and Robert Burke. “Robert has gotten so much better,” Barbier said. “Our plan is to use him as a reliever, let him blow it out for a couple of innings. Austin Reich is a special talent of an arm. He’s been really good this fall and early spring.” In addition to that trio, the Demons will have redshirt junior David Hodo (1-3, 2.73, 3 saves) and redshirt sophomores Evan Daigle (1-0, 1.35) and Donovan Ohnoutka (1-0, 5.74) available from the right side. “David Hodo threw three shutout innings in a regional last year,” Barbier said. “Donovan’s stuff is unbelievable. He can really sink it and spin the ball. Evan made a big jump last year, and we expect another from him.” Newcomers Peyton Graham (Murray State College) and Nik Millsap (Southlake Carroll HS) could factor into a number of roles. “Peyton’s going to be solid for us,” Barbier said. “He’s got four pitches he can compete with. He’ll be a solid arm for us, probably in the bullpen early. Nik’s a different story. He didn’t pitch much in high school. He played more infield, but he has a chance to be really special. He has arm strength, knows how to spin the ball. He’s 6-3 and athletic. Those things usually ad up to a really good pitcher.” The Demons will be without left-hander Reed Michel (2-2, 4.41), who will miss nsudemons.com // @NSUDemonsBsB

the season with an injury, but return senior Tyler Pigott (2-1, 5.16) from the left side. After a tough debut, Pigott flashed his talent with a brilliant 2 1-3 innings of shutout relief at No. 7 Texas A&M in March. “Pitching’s funny,” said Barbier, who doubles as NSU’s pitching coach. “Your numbers can really be skewed, especially as a reliever, by one poor outing, and the poor outing may not be because you didn’t execute pitches. You get them in the mind set of executing pitches and the results are what they are. As long as we execute pitches, we’ll be alright. Tyler’s done that.” Michel’s absence could open the door for redshirt sophomore Cameron Taylor or redshirt freshman Tyler Gatewood to fill a bullpen role. “If they can throw strikes with the breaking ball effectively, they’ll have a role on the team,” Barbier said. The Demons lost just three position-player lettermen from 2018, but the impact David Fry, Kwan Adkins and Kelsey Richard had was immense. The trio combined for 43 doubles, 22 home runs, six triples and 101 RBIs. To replicate that production, the Demons are counting on a veteran-laden lineup to take steps forward. Northwestern State returns all four players who started the majority of the second half of the season around the infield Junior shortstop Caleb Ricca saw his batting average jump 41 points from his freshman season while swiping 20 bases. Ricca was named the No. 22 MLB Draft prospect in the Southland Conference, joining teammates Reich (14) and Jones (16) on

Demons eager for more

the list. “Caleb, when he’s healthy, is as good a player as there is in the league,” Barbier said. “He can really run, he can pick it at short and should hit at the top of any lineup in the league. It’s a matter of keeping him healthy and him keeping his approach like he knows it should be. He stole 20 bases last year. There’s no reason he can’t steal 30 this year.” Ricca is joined up the middle by senior Luke Watson, an all-tournament selection as the Demons swept through the Southland Conference Tournament. Watson hit .275, good for fourth on the team, a year ago but has made strides in other areas. “Luke’s defense has improved tremendously,” Barbier said. “He’s really taken it to heart. We wanted him to get better on that side so we could leave him at second hbase. He’s done that.” Senior Sam Taylor locked down the third base spot midway through the season. Known primarily for his defensive prowess, Taylor settled in at the plate late in the season, homering twice and knocking in five runs in the final four postseason games. “Sam’s as good a defender as I’ve been around,” Barbier said. “What makes him more valuable is he can move around. He really became a productive offensive player late in the season.” When Fry moved to catcher midway through 2018, Peyton Davis made the most of his opportunity at first base. Davis homered five times in 91 plate appearances and added five doubles and 22 RBIs. “Peyton’s a big strong kid who’s a good hitter and did a really good job defensively for us at first base,” Barbier said. “He’s got really good hands.” Junior Austin Townsend could factor in at first base or in the outfield. Junior college transer Hayden Brown (Murray State College) and his younger brother, Hilton (San Antonio Reagan HS), are versatile infielders with Hayden filling a corner profile and Hilton able to play second base as well. Both add offense to the Demons lineup. Redshirt sophomore Chaney Dodge took a step forward in the fall and early spring at third base.

Newcomers Payne Rodgers (Mansfield, Texas, Summit HS) and Landon LeBlanc (St. John HS) bring “opposite” skill sets to the fray, according to Barbier. Rodgers is a slick-fielding shortstop while LeBlanc flashed an advanced offensive approach, including power to all fields. Junior college transfer Elijah Nelson (Hinds CC) is another option. Behind the pate, the Demons must replace Richard and Fry, who combined to catch every pitch in 2018. To replace that pair, NSU turns to a pair of transfers — senior Jakob Nunez (UT Arlington) and junior Marshall Skinner (Blinn JC) — as well as redshirt freshman Tyler Thibodeaux. “Marshall gives us a physical presence in the lineup and can really throw,” Barbier said. “Jakob Nunez is a really good defensive catcher, as good a blocker as I’ve seen. He brings a mature presence. “Tyler is another one of those guys we’ve talked about being here and getting better. He’s hitting well and throwing the ball really well. He works hard and is a no-complaining kind of guy. All three are solid guys behind the plate and should all get some chances.” In the outfield, the Demons must replace Adkins’ glove in center field as much as his .321 average at the plate. Junior Tyler Smith (10 outfield assists, 6 home runs as NSU’s right fielder), sophmore Larson Fontenot and redshirt freshman Jeffrey Elkins are in the mix to follow Adkins and Nick Heath in the Demons’ center field lineage. Northwestern State could use a number of combinations to fill the corner outfield slots. Junior Lenni Kunert, Northwestern State’s lone all-tournament selection at the Corvallis Regional, started most of the second half of the season in left field and became one of the Demons’ emotional leaders. “We have a few guys like that, but Lenni makes us go,” Barbier said. “The end of last year was kind of his coming-out party. It was, ‘Coach, you’re going to keep me in this lineup whether you like it or not. I love it when he’s in there, because he provides a new kind of spark for our team.” Kunert played some right field in the fall and early spring as J.P. Lagreco, a thirdteam All-Southland Conference designated hitter as a junior, moved back to left field. Senior Austin Stegall is in the mix in the corners as is Townsend. Freshman Jacob Farrell could find himself as an option as he continues to work his way back from a high school football injury. “Austin Stegall really committed himself to getting better, which you like to see as a senior,” Barbier said. “Austin Townsend gives us a left-handed bat, which we don’t have a lot of.” Regardless of how the lineup shakes out, the Demons will jump headlong into the 2019 season. NSU opens with a three-game series at Houston before its Feb. 20 home opener against preseason No. 1 LSU. “You’e got to be strong enough to mentally handle it,” Barbier said of the early-season schedule. “We wouldn’t have done it if we didn’t have an older team that we thought couldn’t handle it. The important part is we can play well and it not work out. We can play well and win them all. “It’s an understanding that we’re not where we want to be now. It’s working toward where we want to be.” The Demons learned that lesson in 2018. NSU never won more than four games in a row until winning its regular-season finale at New Orleans and sweeping through the SLC Tournament. “Hopefully, we can use last year to grow to where we understand what we’re capble of,” Barbier said. “Guys always question what youre capable of. You have to do it to prove to them what you’re capable of. Hopefully this year they understand what they’re capable of. It shoudnt’t take us half a season to figure out we can do it with the guys we have back.”

BOBBY BARBIER

Head Coach Eighth Season at Northwestern State (Third as head coach) Northwestern State, 2006 In two seasons at the helm of his alma mater, Bobby Barbier already has accomplished something no other Northwestern State baseball coach has on his resume – a Southland Conference Tournament crown. As Barbier enters his third season as the Demons skipper, he does so after overseeing the largest single-season turnaround in program history. En route to the Demons’ first NCAA Regional appearance since Barbier’s junior season of 2005, the Demons won 18 more games than they had the previous season. Northwestern State’s 38 victories were its most since 2005 when it won 41 games. Barbier’s even-keeled leadership style helped mold a roster that had 17 newcomers into a cohesive unit that scored the first NCAA Regional shutout in school history, a 9-0 whitewashing of San Diego State. The 2018 Demons enjoyed both team and individual success. Three Demons earned individual acclaim from both the Southland Conference and the Louisiana Sports Writers Association. Barbier was both organization’s Coach of the Year and earned the Central Region Coach of the Year award from the American Baseball Coaches Association. Catcher/first baseman David Fry was the Southland Conference’s Player of the Year and the LSWA’s Hitter of the Year while right-handed pitcher Jerry Maddox was both the Southland and LSWA Newcomer of the Year. Fry was named a third-team All-American by Collegiate Baseball Magazine, giving Northwestern State its second All-American in three seasons, joining Adam Oller, who earned the honor during Barbier’s term as the Demons’ pitching coach. That role was one Barbier resumed in 2018, and his impact was immediately measurable. In addition to Maddox’ first-team All-Louisiana and second-team All-Southland Conference selections, fellow junior Ridge Heisler was a third-team all-conference selection. Overall, the Demons shaved more than two and a half runs from their ERA, pitching to a 3.41 mark in 2018. That number ranked 18th nationally and was 2.65 lower than the previous season. Following the Demons’ run to the NCAA Corvallis Regional, half of the NSU senior class heard its name called in the Major League Baseball First-Year Player Draft. Fry was a seventh-round selection by the Milwaukee Brewers while center fielder Kwan Adkins, a third-team All-SLC pick, was nabbed by the San Francisco Giants in the 30th round. Three-quarters of the NSU senior class reached professional baseball as pitcher Danny Hlad joined the Windy City Thunderbolts of the Frontier League following the season. During Barbier’s first season, Fry, produced the first 20-double, 10-home run season in school history, earning first-team American Baseball Coaches Association/Rawlings All-South Central Region honors. Before becoming the 12th coach in the more than 100 years of Demon baseball history, Barbier spent two stints as an assistant coach with the Demons. He spent the 2015 and 2016 seasons helping the Demons craft two of the lowest ERAs in recent Northwetern State baseball history. nsudemons.com // @NSUDemonsBsB

The son of former Nicholls football coach Darren Barbier was an easy choice to succeed Lane Burroughs. “Bobby was born to be a coach and is the son of a coach,” said NSU Director of Athletics Greg Burke during Barbier’s introductory news conference in June 2016. “He has the work ethic, interpersonal skills, baseball knowledge and, as a Demon baseball alumnus, a unique level of passion for the program, which will enable him to sustain and even enhance the team’s success level.” In addition to helping guide ace Adam Oller to a pair of All-American selections, Barbier’s tutelage led the Demons staff to a 3.01 ERA that ranked ninth nationally. Barbier directed Oller to a season in which he went 8-1, posted a 1.23 ERA (third-lowest nationally) and earned Southland Conference Pitcher of the Year honors, along with All-American nods from Louisville Slugger/Collegiate Baseball magazine and the American Baseball Coaches Association. In his first season, Barbier helped the NSU staff post a 3.55 ERA while Josh Oller became the program’s first 10-game winner in 11 years and Brandon Smith tied the program record for single-season saves (10). The overall ERA marked an improvement of more than one run from 2014 and was the lowest mark since 2002 (3.54). Forming successful pitchers stood in opposition to what Barbier did while wearing a Demon uniform. Barbier, the 2006 Southland Conference Scholar Athlete of the Year, played four seasons for the Demons, finishing his career ranked in the top 10 in eight offensive categories. He remains second in NSU history in hit by pitches.

During his first stint as a Demons assistant, Barbier coached NSU infielders and hitters as well as acting as the team’s base running coordinator. Under his tutelage, NSU led the Southland Conference in stolen bases with 99. Barbier also coordinated travel, field maintenance and team academics as an NSU assistant. In his Demons playing career, Barbier epitomized the term student-athlete. In addition to being awarded the Southland’s top individual academic honor, Barbier was a 2004 Academic All-American and a part of the 2005 Southland Conference All-Academic Team. On the field, Barbier saw the majority of his playing time at first base, earning honorable mention all-conference accolades in 2004 and first-team All-Southland honors in 2005, while helping lead NSU to the 2005 Southland Conference title and a berth in the NCAA Baton Rouge Regional.

NSU A COACHES’ PIPELINE TO SEC

Northwestern State baseball has enjoyed a tremendous run of success in the past three decades, molded by head coaches and assistants who have climbed the ladder to the highest levels of college baseball. Entering the 2018 season, three of the 14 head coaches in the Southeastern Conference, widely regarded as the toughest conference in college baseball, spent part of their careers on the Demons staff. Additionally, former Demons skipper Jim Wells helped build Alabama into a national power, leading the Crimson Tide to the 1996 College World Series championship game and was succeeded by Mitch Gaspard, who is now an assistant coach at Georgia. The three current SEC coaches with Northwestern State ties have combined for a trio of College World Series appearances at their current schools. Van Horn led Nebraska to back-to-back CWS appearances in 2001 and 2002 before taking the Arkansas job between the 2002 and 2003 seasons. Additionally, former Demons skipper John Cohen is in his second year as the Mississippi State director of athletics, overseeing the department after eight years as the Bulldogs baseball coach.

Well into its sixth decade of service, the Southland Conference continues to be a model of innovation, stability and consistent achievement as it celebrates the academic and athletic accomplishments of its member institutions and approximately 4,200 student-athletes. Having commemorated its 50th anniversary in 2013, the Southland Conference has transformed itself into a dynamic and respected consortium of 13 member universities in three states. Beginning with a historic meeting of five institutions in Dallas on March 15, 1963, the Southland Conference set on an extraordinary course that has proven successful well into the 21st Century. The successful transformation continues, as the Southland Conference welcomed four additional members in 2013: Abilene Christian University, Houston Baptist University, the University of Incarnate Word in San Antonio, and the University of New Orleans. In addition to its newest members, the Southland also consists of the University of Central Arkansas, Lamar University, McNeese State University, Nicholls State University, Northwestern State University, Sam Houston State University, Southeastern Louisiana University, Stephen F. Austin State University and Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi. An original Southland member from 1963-73, Abilene Christian rejoined the league as one of the most decorated athletic programs in NCAA history, and the addition of Houston Baptist, UIW and New Orleans gives the Southland a regular competitive presence in the key metropolitan areas of Houston, San Antonio and New Orleans. Southland cities encompass approximately 14 million people, and six of its television markets rank among the top 100 in the U.S. All told, the membership of the Southland encompasses nearly 140,000 current students and an alumni base of nearly 800,000. Famous alums from current Southland Conference schools include former CBS news anchor Dan Rather (Sam Houston State), NBA executive Joe Dumars (McNeese State), ABC news anchor Robin Roberts (Southeastern Louisiana), Major League Baseball star Wade Miley (Southeastern Louisiana), NBA legend Scottie Pippen (Central Arkansas), and track and field Olympians Kenta Bell (Northwestern State), and Bobby Morrow and Billy Olson (both Abilene Christian). Other notable alums from current members include Grammy Award-winning musicians Frank Ocean (New Orleans), Don Henley

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

BROWN-STROUD

Field

H O M E O F T H E N O R T H W E S T E R N S TAT E D E M O N S BUILT IN 1939... Named for the first two head baseball coaches in school history -- C.C. Stroud (1912-30) and H. Alvin “Cracker” Brown (1949-66) -- Brown-Stroud Field has been the home to nine Southland Conference championship teams. The facility has undergone significant changes in the past three seasons, culminating with the addition of two suites and a reconfigured press box for the 2019 season. Along with a grandstand that seats 1,200, there is hillside seating along both baselines, giving fans some of the best sightlines in the Southland Conference. Fitting for a program that relishes high-level competition, Brown-Stroud Field has hosted College World Series programs LSU, Alabama, Arkansas, TCU, UL Lafayette, Nebraska and Missouri State as well as Missouri, Houston, Kansas State, Oral Roberts. Brown-Stroud also was home to Brian Lawrence, who pitched for the Demons in the 1997 and 98 seasons before anchoring the San Diego Padres starting rotation in the early-to-mid-2000s.

Cracker Brown (second from right) is one of the stadium namesakes for Brown-Stroud Field. He is standing with three other namesakes (L-R) Walter P. Ledet (track complex), Harry Turpin (football stadium), H. Lee Prather (basketball coliseum)

DEMON BASEBALL... A HIT SINCE 1912 All-Americans. Conference championships. NCAA Regional appearances. All of the above have been part of the tradition that is Northwestern State baseball, a program that has made its share of headlines and memories in the last eight decades. NSU’s baseball tradition dates to 1912, when the first incarnation of the Louisiana Normal nine won 7 of its 11 games. With the exception of a 18-year gap from 1930-1948, the diamond Demons have written a legacy of success for the better part of a century. Individual accomplishments have blended into team success, creating a program that has enjoyed a run as one of the best in the Southland Conference in the last three decades. Numerous All-Americans have donned the Purple and White, beginning with Danny Turner in 1967 when the Demons competed at the NAIA level. Darryl Woods bridged the gap between the NCAA and NAIA eras, earning All-American honors after belting a school-record 19 home runs. Outfielder Terry Joseph was a two-time Academic All-American (1993, 1995) and ranks 9th in career batting average. Pitcher Reggie Gatewood was named a second-team All-American by the National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association in 1994 after posting an 11-3 record and a 2.14 ERA. Shortstop Ryan Anholt earned third-team All-American honors from the American Baseball Coaches Association in 1998 when he batted .417 with 15 home runs and 71 RBIs in his junior season. In recent years, pitcher Adam Oller (2016 ABCA, Collegiate Baseball) and first baseman/catcher David Fry (2018 Collegiate Baseball) have added to the Demons’ All-American legacy. Three Demons pitchers have earned Freshman All-American honors – Kyle Broughton and Dereck Cloeren in 2005 and Oller in 2014. One of the most decorated runs in NSU baseball history began with its entrance into the Southland Conference, a league the Demons have called home for the past 31 seasons. In that time, the Demons have accumulated 53 first-team All-Southland Conference selections, eight Coach of the Year awards, five Pitcher of the Year honors, five Player of the Year nods, two Hitter of the Year awardees, nine Newcomer or Freshman of the Year winners and one Relief Pitcher of the Year. As a team, the Demons have captured 10 conference championships. Included in that grouping is a run of three straight SLC titles (1993-95) that has been accomplished by just two other Southland schoold. In 1991, coach Jim Wells’ Demons earned the first NCAA Regional berth in school history and were placed in the NCAA South II Regional in Baton Rouge. The Demons fell to eventual national champion LSU, 11-2, and were edged by UL Lafayette, 11-7. Three years later, Wells’ Demons earned another at-large bid and were placed in the Midwest I Regional in Stillwater, Okla. After dropping the opener to perennial national power Cal State Fullerton, 11-3, NSU earned its first NCAA Regional victory, as Gatewood overpowered Illinois State, 8-2. NSU fell to Memphis, 14-9, ending its season with a school-record 45 victories. Wells’ success led him to become the head coach at Alabama, ushering in a flood of NSU coaches who took control of Southeastern Conference programs. Currently, former NSU coaches are head coaches at Arkansas (Dave Van Horn), Mississippi State (John Cohen), Ole Miss (Mike Bianco) and Texas A&M (Rob Childress). The Demons’ decade of dominance continued in 1996 with two wins at eventual national champion LSU. Two years later, NSU notched its sixth Southland title and fourth 40-win season of the 1990s. NSU closed the decade with a 38-21 campaign in 1999. Included in that season were wins against LSU and UCLA. The Demons closed the decade with a .658 winning percentage, which ranked 23rd in the nation. The 2000s brought continued success with a seventh Southland title in 2001. That season, NSU defeated LSU, 10-8, in front of a record crowd of 4,214 screaming Demons fans at Brown-Stroud Field. NSU repeated as Southland champions in 2002, winning 43 games in Gaspard’s first season. The Demons cracked the national top 25 for the first time in school history, reaching No. 23 in the Collegiate Baseball poll. NSU’s 2005 season was simply overpowering, as the Demons racked up 22 Southland wins and won the conference by five games, the largest margin in Southland history. NSU earned the third NCAA Regional trip in school history, traveling to Baton Rouge where it fell to nationally ranked Rice, 7-3, in its opening game before recovering to beat Marist, 4-3. NSU fell to state rival LSU, 12-4, in its next regional game. In 2010, NSU tied its school record for conference wins with 22 and added victories against nationally ranked Southern Mississippi and Texas A&M. Four Demons earned first-team All-Southland Conference honors and the conference named Chad Sheppard its Relief Pitcher of the Year. The next three seasons were uncharacteristically trying for the Demons, who nevertheless had three players drafted in 2012, including second-round pick Mason Melotakis (Minnesota). The hiring of Lane Burroughs, a Mississippi State assistant under Cohen, signaled a return to form for the Demons program. After going 16-40 in his first season, Burroughs engineered a remarkable turnaround, winning 17 more games in his second season. NSU also authored the largest single-season turnaround in Southland Conference history, increasing its conference win total from 5 to 19. The follow-up season included another improvement as NSU bumped its winning percentage from .559 to .574 and saw outfielder Cort Brinson earn Southland Conference Hitter and Student-Athlete of the Year honors. In 2016, Oller was one of three Demons drafted (Nick Heath, Daniel Garner) from an NSU team that won its final 10 Southland Conference games of the year, setting a school record for consecutive conference victories, one that remains active entering the 2017 season. Former NSU Academic All-American Bobby Barbier took the reins of his alma mater’s program prior to 2017 and began putting his stamp on the program. A tough 2017 season as a team had its highlights, including Fry’s ABCA First-Team All-South Central Region selection. A year later, Barbier’s charges did what no other Demons team ever accomplished —winning the Southland Conference Tournament championship. NSU swept the event in four straight games behind an MVP performance from Fry and advanced to the Corvallis Regional where it went 1-2, notching the program’s first NCAA Regional shutout, a 9-0 blanking of San Diego State. Fry was named the Southland Conference Player of the Year and All-Louisiana Hitter of the Year while pitcher Jerry Maddox earned Southland and All-Louisiana Newcomer of the Year honors. Barbier picked up Southland and All-Louisiana Coach of the Year acclaim as well as the ABCA Central Region Coach of the Year award. In June, Fry (7th round, Milwaukee) and outfielder Kwan Adkins (30th round, San Francisco) became Major League Baseball draftees.

Great Tradition • Brighter Future


Dr. Chris Maggio

Northwestern State President Chris Maggio is a competitor for all seasons. Northwestern State’s second-year president was an all-sports athlete in high school, a college distance runner at NSU, and a high school football, basketball and track coach. He became a college coach in track and field for the Demons and Lady Demons. He even spent a few years as a high school basketball referee. His zeal for competition makes him a dynamic recruiter and fund raiser for NSU, and his ability to mentor staff members and students combines with his warmth and sincerity to produce a tremendously effective university administrator. Those traits, along with U N I V E R S I T Y A D M I N I S T R AT I O N Dr. Maggio’s deep roots and President: far-reaching relationships, . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Dr. Darlene Williams moved up to run the University of Louisiana System, which includes Northwestern and eight other state universities. Maggio, 54, is a lifelong resident of Natchitoches and long-time faculty and staff member at Northwestern State. He is the university’s 19th president since its founding in 1884, and the first one who is homegrown, along with the first to be a four-year athletic letterwinner as a Demon competitor. Maggio was named vice president for the student experience at Northwestern State last September after serving as interim vice president for just over a year. He maintained his role as vice president for the student experience while serving as acting president. When the NSU Student Services building opened three years ago, designers had a lovely office location for Maggio on the second floor. He asked instead for the room just inside the front door to the building, not connected to any administrative wing, but envisioned as a conference space. His reasoning: Maggio wanted to see everybody who walked in the door, and providing the ability to immediately engage them or at least be easily accessible for anyone who needed help. As vice president, Maggio led the Dean of Students and the Offices of Admissions, Recruiting, Financial Aid, Student Activities and Organizations, First Year Experience and Leadership Development, Judicial Services, Counseling and Career Services, Student Life, the Student Activities Board, Student Government Association, Student Support Services, and Greek Life. Northwestern State has recorded enrollment increases for the past three years, with record numbers in 2017-18, peaked by 10,578 in the fall 2017 semester. Projected fall 2018 enrollment is over 11,000. Maggio served as assistant vice president of external affairs for university advancement from 2013 until 2015, when he was promoted by Dr. Henderson. He has been a staff member at Northwestern State since 1988, when he joined the track and field coaching staff. After several years as director of admissions and recruiting during record-setting enrollment for NSU, Maggio was selected as director of alumni affairs in 1999, director of alumni and development in 2003, executive director of the NSU Foundation in 2005

and Dean of Students and assistant provost for student success in 2007. During his career at NSU, Maggio also served as director of enrollment services. Under Maggio’s leadership, the NSU Foundation completed its first capital campaign in Northwestern’s history, exceeding a campaign goal of $18.84 million and raising $31 million to support the university. He has also been a faculty member in the Department of Health and Human Performance for more than 20 years as an instructor, assistant professor and associate professor. Maggio came on board the NSU staff in 1988 as assistant track and field coach, then became head women’s coach a year later. After a very successful five years in that capacity, in 1994 Maggio moved into administration as the fundraiser for NSU Athletics before quickly being snapped up to become the university’s director of admissions and recruiting. Maggio is a 1985 summa cum laude graduate of Northwestern State. He won Gulf Star Conference All-Academic honors in track and field and helped the Demons win the 1985 GSC championship. As a senior, he was elected Mr. NSU by his fellow students. Maggio earned his master’s of education at NSU. He received a doctorate in developmental education from Grambling State University. His parents helped run a family business in Natchitoches. His father, Buddy, was honored as a “Natchitoches Treasure” in 2015 by the City of Natchitoches. As a young boy, Maggio became playmates with future Basketball Hall of Fame member Joe Dumars, whose home was near one of the Maggio’s stores. Dr. Maggio’s wife, Jennifer, was formerly on the NSU staff as Coordinator of Adult Education Initiatives. They have three children, Melanie, Scott, and Emily. Emily is a high school student at St. Mary’s Catholic School of Natchitoches, while her older siblings attend colleges outside of Natchitoches.

Jerry Pierce

Vice President • External Affairs Only a couple of people have served Northwestern State as long as alumnus Jerry Pierce has, and nobody has done so in a more understated manner. In his 53rd year on the university’s staff, Pierce’s impact on NSU and the city of Natchitoches is indelible. He’s never wanted or gotten top billing, but consistently, he gets results to benefit the university. He is in his 28th year as vice president of external affairs at Northwestern. A significant aspect of his job is oversight of intercollegiate athletics. Pierce works closely with athletic director Greg Burke and all NSU coaches and staff members to keep Northwestern athletics competing at a championship level week after week, month after month and year after year. At NSU’s 2018 Homecoming celebration Oct. 27, Pierce will be honored at the N-Club Hall of Fame ceremony, becoming only the second person to receive the “Leadership Award” from the organization of former Northwestern athletic letterwinners. Pierce, an avid tennis player, has been a member of USTA teams that have won more than a dozen state championships, five regional titles and NSU Athletic Council one national championship. Jody Biscoe (Chair) Well before moving into the executive position, Pierce had already Angela Bolton Steven Boyd served his alma mater, adopted hometown and state with distinction. In Nick Forde (Student-Athlete) his role as vice president, he oversees university operations in athletics, Kimberly Gallow alumni and development, public and media relations and assists President Frank Hall Dr. Chris Maggio in governmental affairs activities. Many of those duties Sid Hall were his since the 1970s as he worked under six previous presidents as Chris Lyles Northwestern advanced from NAIA to NCAA College Division to NCAA DiviJacqueline Manza (Student-Athsion I athletic status in 1977. lete) A 1961 graduate of Northwestern, Pierce served as trainer/manager Rodrick McIntosh for the Demon football team during his college years, working closely with Dr. Jim Mischler legendary coach Jack Clayton. After earning his journalism degree, Pierce Begona Perez-Mira went to work for the New Orleans Times Picayune, serving as a reporter Alexis Smith Ex-Officio Members and editor. He was named executive sports editor at the age of 24. Greg Burke In 1965, he chose to raise his two sons in Natchitoches and returned Dustin Eubanks to NSU as sports information director. He was promoted to news bureau diRoxanne Freeman rector two years later and assumed additional responsibilities in athletics, Dr. Chris Maggio alumni affairs and other areas through the years. Kaitlyn McCanna He created, in 1972, the Louisiana Sports Hall of Fame facility in Dr. Patrice Moulton Prather Coliseum on the NSU campus, providing a home for an entity Dr. Vicki Parrish founded by the Louisiana Sports Writers Association in 1958. He estabJerry Pierce lished annual induction activities that remain in place nearly five decades Dr. Haley Taitano later, serving as director of the Hall for 19 years until his promotion to vice president in April 1990 forced him to step aside from the volunteer post. He helped guide Northwestern into three athletic conferences (Trans America, 1979; Gulf Star, 1983; Southland, 1987) and NCAA Division I status in 1977. He is a past president of the Southland and has served the conference through other offices and committee positions. In 1994, he was named one of Louisiana’s 20 most influential sports figures by the Times-Picayune. Also on the list were New Orleans Saints owner Tom Benson, LSU athletic director Joe Dean and basketball coach Dale Brown, and Grambling football coaching legend Eddie Robinson. His salesmanship and managerial skills were instrumental in convincing Tri-Star Productions to film the 1989 smash hit movie “Steel Magnolias,” with an all-star cast including Julia Roberts, Sally Field and Dylan McDermott in Natchitoches and on the NSU campus. The movie’s impact on tourism in Natchitoches continues to resonate nearly three decades later. Pierce is regarded as one of the most effective legislative liaisons for Louisiana’s higher education system. He has been also a master of ceremonies and speaker who has enlivened hundreds of events since 1965. In addition to his administrative responsibilities, Pierce is a tenured member of the Journalism Department faculty. He is the author of one book and editor of two others and has written thousands of editorials, columns, features and other articles for newspapers and magazines.

In the middle of his 23rd year as director of athletics at Northwestern State, Greg Burke is highly regarded far past the 318 area code due to the work he’s done in his adopted hometown. Burke, a native Ohioan and avid fan of all Cleveland pro sports teams, has been the Demons’ athletics director since Aug. 29, 1996, when his first day included speaking at the annual NSU/ Independence Bowl Kickoff Luncheon. Burke is the longest serving AD at any Louisiana or Southland Conference institution, and is believed to be the longest-serving AD in state history. He has steered NSU athletics to many of its greatest accomplishments while overseeing a program that has fielded championship-caliber teams in a dozen of the school’s 14 NCAA Division I sports. Highlights in Burke’s two decades as athletic director include 42 Southland Conference regular-season or tournament championships, 68 All-America and Academic All-America student athletes, and three U.S. Olympic competitors. Twenty-six NSU teams have taken part in NCAA or other postseason competition. All of the school’s athletic facilities have undergone over $8 million in improvements in the past few years, including the following - $1 million of enhancements to Turpin Stadium’s video board and sound system due before the 2017 home opener; a $2 million series of sponsorships for new scoreboards installed for 2008-09 at all NSU athletic venues; the $700,000 Second Century Circle fencing project for athletic venues; a $500,000 softball grandstand project; and a $600,000 upgrade of chairback seating at Turpin Stadium for the 2016 football season. Plans for a track and field locker room, women’s tennis locker room, strength and conditioning annex to the Athletic Fieldhouse and a baseball operations building are all on the drawing board. Fundraising initiatives reached new levels in 2017-18. Formalizing the endowed giving program, branded as “Perpetually Purple,” has generated an influx of outright and deferred gifts that have the athletic scholarship endowment teetering at the $2 million mark. In addition, overall revenue generated by donations and sponsorships cracked $2 million for the second straight year. Competitively, milestones continue. One of the biggest under Burke: NSU in 2004-05 became the first (and remains the only) Southland Conference member in the league’s five decades of history to sweep football, men’s basketball and baseball championships in the same athletic year. It’s been done only once in Southeastern Conference history, by Alabama in 1933-34, and only four times in Big Ten Conference history, the last time by Michigan State in 1979-80. Those accomplishments have come with one of the more modest athletic budgets in the state and conference. Burke’s management skill and fundraising ability have been pivotal. Burke has a remarkable ability to hire dynamic head coaches. Anchors of the department are current head coaches Mike McConathy, Louisiana’s all-time career basketball wins leader; softball coach Donald Pickett, and track and field coach Mike Heimerman, a trio with nearly 50 combined years on staff at NSU. Three former student-athletes in Burke’s tenure have become NSU head coaches, including second-year baseball coach Bobby Barbier, who just led NSU to its first Southland Conference baseball tournament title in just his second year. Numerous Burke hires had great success at Northwestern State that propelled them to national prominence in subsequent positions. Former baseball coach John Cohen is beginning his first full year as AD at Mississippi State. Over 100 more former NSU student-athletes, coaches and support staff members, most of them here with Burke as AD or assistant AD (1986-92), are working in college athletics at some level. Former Demons are head coaches in the SEC, Big XII, Mountain West Conference, Conference USA, Ohio Valley, SWAC, Big XII, Big Sky, Sun Belt, Atlantic Coast and Southland Conferences. Five others hold Associate AD positions in the SEC, PAC 12, Big East and American Athletic conferences. Former Burke lieutenants Todd Garzarelli (Wisconsin-Whitewater), Jason Horn (Xavier-NO) and Adam Jonson (LSU Alexandria) are now athletics directors, while Kurt Gulbrand is senior associate AD for development at Tennessee and Jodie Libadisos is associate AD for student-athlete enhancement at South Florida. From his first day on the job, Burke has stressed the importance of having a balanced athletic program. Tremendous competitive strides have been made in women’s athletics under his guidance. Just in the past five years, Lady Demon basketball (2014, 2015), softball (2013, 2014), tennis (2013, 2015) and volleyball (2015) have reached NCAA Tournaments. Burke established a high standard for NSU Athletics in academic achievement and community service. The academic accomplishments are reflected annually in the NCAA’s APR and GSR studies. Community service by NSU student-athletes, coaches and staff totals 5,000 hours annually. The Southland Conference created the “Southland Strong” Community Service award to recognize the nsudemons.com // @NSUDemonsBsB

member institution whose student-athletes compile the most service hours each year. NSU won the inaugural prize in 2014-15 and was second in 2015-16 and 2017-18. Burke spearheaded the adoption of the slogan “Great Tradition, Brighter Future” for NSU Athletics, and the creation of NSU Athletics “Cornerstones” for student-athletes: “Academic Achievement, Personal Responsibility, Competitive Success … Every Minute, Every Hour, Every Day!” During February 2013, he was presented the “Outstanding Contributions to Amateur Football Award” by the North Louisiana chapter of the National Football Foundation and College Football Hall of Fame. Six years ago, he was included among 29 winners of the Under Amour AD of the Year Award presented by the National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics (NACDA). Burke was the 2010-11 president of the Football Championship Subdivision Athletics Directors Association. He serves on the NCAA Committee on Academics, a 20-person group replacing the Committee on Academic Performance, which included Burke. He also has served on the NCAA Championships/Sports Management Cabinet. Burke previously served a four-year term on the NCAA Division I Football Issues Committee (1999-2002) and concurrently served a term on the eight-member NCAA FCS Committee that administers the national playoffs. He has served as a site supervisor for Football Championship Subdivision playoff games across the nation, and he is regarded as one of the country’s premiere advocates of FCS football. In 2005, Burke was one of three recipients of the All-America Football Foundation’s Gen. Robert R. Neyland Outstanding Athletic Director Award and that same year, was also tabbed as one of two Natchitoches Parish Cenla Newsmakers of 2005 by the Alexandria Town Talk newspaper’s editorial staff. He received the 2006 “Outstanding Alumni Award” from his alma mater, Marlington High School in Alliance, Ohio, recognizing his community service and professional achievements. At the time, Burke became one of only 21 alumni honored since the award was instituted in 1982. Burke serves on the Natchitoches Convention and Visitors Bureau board, and on the board of directors for the Central Louisiana Community Foundation. He is a past president of the Natchitoches Kiwanis Club and remains active in that civic group. He has also been part of the steering committee for the Natchitoches Christmas Festival and is a former member of the Natchitoches Area Jaycees. He has been involved with the American Heart Association and was 2010 March of Dimes chairman locally. His wife, Susu, is a Natchitoches native, NSU graduate and an elementary teacher.
