Quick Facts

Following consecutive one-win seasons, the Nicholls football program is looking to climb out of the basement of the Southland Conference. However, the task will not be easy since the league has proved to be one of the strongest in the country, powered by back-to-back national runner-up Sam Houston State.

And if having to deal with an FCS title-contender wasn’t enough, the Colonels will not only take on three FBS opponents in the non-conference for the second straight year, but Nicholls will head back to the Pacific Northwest to face BCS Championship hopeful Oregon, which is coming off a 12-win season and a Fiesta Bowl crown.

But for the first time in Charlie Stubbs’ era, Nicholls will head into its season with a wealth of experience as the Colonels return 22 starters from 2012 and a total of 57 letterwinners.

2013 outlook

QUARTERBACKS-For the first time in nearly a half decade, the Colonels will not

have the services of do-it-all LaQuintin Caston, who closed out his career ranked in the top 10 on the all-time passing and rushing lists. If that wasn’t enough to replace, Landry Klann, who led the Southland’s third-best passing offense last season, underwent season-ending shoulder surgery in the spring and will be redshirted. With Klann on the sideline, the Colonels will look to Beaux Hebert and Tuskani Figaro to run the offense.

-Hebert put together his best spring since arriving on campus, and most importantly, was able to stay healthy. Last season, he saw action in four games, completing 62.2 percent of his passes for 315 yards and one touchdown. Hebert heads into the fall listed No. 1 on the depth chart.

-Figaro will look to replace the rushing void left by Caston. As a true freshman, he had a strong debut at Tulsa before running wild against Evangel where he rushed for 134 yards and three touchdowns. Unfortunately, a shoulder injury cut his season short, but Figaro was able to get reps in during the spring.

-Dash Duncan and Hayden Cardiff will add depth to the quarterbacks. Duncan redshirted in his freshman season last year, while Cardiff took snaps in addition to playing a key role on special teams.

RUNNING BACKS-Marcus Washington could be primed for a stellar senior season

as he is expected to be the primary ball carrier for the first time in his career. Although Washington earned All-Southland honors in 2011 and honorable mention last season, he has had to share the backfield. With a career 4.9 yard per carry average and plenty of work headed his way, Washington could make a serious push for 1,000 yards.

-Backing up Washington will be senior Dalton Hilliard Jr. Hilliard has seen a fair share of playing time, but has yet to break into the offense. Last season, he caught six passes for 53 yards and rushed for a 10-yard TD.

-Rounding out the backfield are sophomores Michael Henry, Dylan Ledet, Reggie Wilson and junior Stephen Richmond.

WIDE RECEIVERS/TIGHT ENDS

-Although the Colonels lose their reception leader from last season, running back Jesse Turner, Nicholls returns a plethora of receivers and tight ends. A total of six players from 2012 that had 10 or more receptions with 100 or more yards are back, which doesn’t include Washington, who had 25 catches out of the backfield.

-Erik Buchanan and Carey Fortson give the Colonels a pair of long receivers, with Buchanan posing as a lethal deep threat. In his first season, Buchanan averaged 28.3 yards per catch, but only brought in 10 passes. Fortson had 16 receptions for 128 yards.

-Second-team All-Southland junior tight end Nick Scelfo was one of two Colonels to record 300 yards receiving, joining flanker Josh Hanberry (308). Scelfo hauled in two touchdown passes and averaged 13.6 yards per catch, while Hanberry matched Scelfo in receptions (22), but never crossed the goalline despite reeling in a

68-yard reception.- Junior Demon Bolt is expected to make an impact this season

after missing a portion of 2012 with an injury. Bolt had only five catches last season but nearly reached 100 yards. Senior Brad Nelson rounds out the fall depth chart for the receivers.

OFFENSIVE LINE-The offensive line brings back four of five starters, led by All-

Southland honorable mention left tackle Abasi Salimu. Eric Alt returns at right tackle, Caleb Cline at guard and the Colonels will welcome back guard Rafe Plaisance, who sat out last season.

-Sophomore Brandon Holmes made the transition to center in the spring as the Colonels look to replace four-year starter Gerald Gruenig. Holmes started at guard as a true freshman before being shelved late in the year with a knee injury.

-Returning letterwinners juniors Ryan Zeller and Tyler Knowles, senior Joe Bonner and sophomore Chris Bordelon are also expected to contribute.

-The Colonels added two FBS transfers to bolster the line, bringing in SMU transfer Ashton Duhe and former Memphis Tiger Nick Chartain.

DEFENSIVE LINE-The Colonels will feature a pair of 300-pounders on the defensive

line in senior Edet Udoh and sophomore transfer Keithen English. Udot missed last season with an injury and will look to regain his form from 2011. English joins Nicholls after playing for the University of Houston.

-Senior Lorenza Young is slated to start at tackle, with junior Cole Frazier on the outside. Young had a strong junior season, recording 28 tackles with 3.5 for loss, while Frazier appeared in nine games, recording six tackles.

-Also returning on the defensive line are letterwinners Andrew Carter, Jordan Thompson and Michael Woods.

LINEBACKERS-The linebacker core

lost a key component in Jordan Piper, who last season proved to be one of the NCAA’s best tacklers. But senior Chris Bermond put together a solid first season, finishing second behind Piper with 64 tackles. The Colonels will look to junior Nick LeBlanc to help replace Piper on the inside, while junior Davin Bovie (31 tackles) will be on the edge. The last starter on the fall depth chart is redshirt freshman Chris Lorden, who put together an impressive spring.

-Senior Ryan Bruno and junior Dwayne Mitchell will lead the backups, with letterwinners Kameryon Brown and Tyler Harrington rounding out the depth chart. Mitchell, a former Minnesota Gopher,

had 16 tackles and two forces fumbles in his first season with the Colonels.

SECONDARY-In the secondary, the safeties will once again be a strong part of

the defense as the senior trio of Jordan Hanberry, T.J. Lumar and Siegan Vergenal return. Along with finishing fourth on the team in tackles last season, Vergenal added three more forced fumbles, giving him eight for his career. Lumar, who had 43 tackles, wrecked a little havoc himself by jarring two footballs loose and also recorded a pair of interceptions.

-At cornerback, four Colonels who had significant playing time last season are back, including starters B.J. Lewis and Toren Joseph. Lewis, a senior, was fifth on the team with 47 tackles while Joseph picked off two passes. Juniors Byron Cobb (47 tackles) and Josh Dewey also helped out in the turnover department as each recorded an interception.

SPECIALISTS-Preseason All-Southland senior kicker Andrew Dolan will handle

the field goal duties once again and will look to build off the final part of the 2012 season. Dolan led Nicholls in scoring with 51 points, helped by connecting on 7-of-8 field goals in the last six games.

-The Colonels will feature a new punter this season as Conner Fryoux joins the team after transferring in from ULM. Fryoux saw limited action for the Warhawks, recording only 16 punts.

-In the return game, junior Demon Bolt is slated to return punts with Josh Hanberry handling kick return duties. Bolt had only seven punt returns last season while Hanberry led the team with a 19.2 yard kick return average.

-Junior Ty Boudreaux returns as the long snapper.

Charlie Stubbs is in his fourth season as the head coach at Nicholls State University.

With over 33 years of coaching experience, which includes six years as an assistant head coach, Stubbs was selected to become the ninth head coach in the program’s history on January 5, 2010. He joined the Colonels after holding the title of offensive coordinator at numerous universities including Alabama, Tulsa, Oregon State, Louisville and others.

After three years at the helm at Nicholls, Stubbs has posted a 6-27 record, including three wins in conference. Although the Colonels did not improve in the win-loss column last season, Stubbs’ squad showed major progress, especially on the offensive side of the ball. Along with ranking third in the Southland in passing offense, Nicholls averaged 338.4 yards per game of total offense, which was over 50 yards better than the previous season.

While Nicholls was winless in conference for the second straight year, the Colonels still managed to land two players on the All-Southland Second Team. Linebacker Jordan Piper earned the honor after leading the league in tackles per game and tight end Nick Scelfo garnered all-conference for the second time in as many

years. In the classroom, Stubbs’

program continues to shine as five Colonels were named Southland Conference All-Academic. Earning the nod for Nicholls were Gerald Gruenig, Kerry Guidry, two-time Nicholls Student-Athlete Award for Academic Excellence honoree Jordan Hanberry, Josh Hanberry and Landry Klann. The Colonels also placed 34 players on the Southland Conference Commissioner’s Fall Academic Honor Roll, including four with an unblemished 4.0 grade point average.

Since taking over the program, two areas that Stubbs has focused on are building the program by signing student-athletes who are from Louisiana, and pitting his team against high-quality opponents in non-conference. In his first three full recruiting seasons, Stubbs has brought in 44 student-athletes who are from the Bayou State, and for the second straight season, the Colonels will take on three programs from the Football Bowl Subdivision. Nicholls will face its toughest challenge in program history in its season opener as the Colonels take on the BCS title-contending Oregon Ducks.

A Charleston, South Carolina native with over 25 years of collegiate coaching experience, Stubbs led the Colonels to four victories in his inaugural season, their most since 2007, despite installing an entire new offense. Stubbs replaced the heavy-rush scheme for a multiple-pro system, and although suffering growing pains throughout the year, the Colonels closed out the season in a big way by winning their final two contests.

In 2010, Stubbs guided Nicholls to victories in all three of its rivalry games – Texas State, Northwestern State and Southeastern Louisiana – for the first time since 2005. Also in his first season, the Colonels claimed two of their wins away from John L. Guidry Stadium, the most since ’07.

Before a two-year stint at Central Missouri, Stubbs was the offensive coordinator at the University of Louisville in 2007. While at Louisville, he guided the Cardinals to a national No. 4 ranking in passing offense which featured NFL players Brian Brohm and Harry Douglas (Atlanta Falcons).

Prior to UL, Stubbs spent five seasons at the University of Tulsa, leading the offense to an average of over 31 points

per game while ranking among the top 25 teams in the nation each season. In 2005, Stubbs was a finalist for the American Football Coaches Association Assistant Coach of the Year as the Hurricanes were crowned Conference USA and Liberty Bowl champions en route to a 9-4 finish.

From 1998-2000, Stubbs was the quarterbacks coach/passing game coordinator at the University of Alabama, where he helped direct the Crimson Tide to a pair of bowl appearances. After reaching the Music City Bowl in ’98, ‘Bama won the SEC title and earned a bid to the 2000 Orange Bowl with Stubbs receiving the SEC Offensive Coordinator of the Year.

Stubbs had three stints from

1994-97, spending his last two years at the University of Nevada-Las Vegas after one-year stints with University of Tennessee-Martin and the University of Memphis. In ’97, Stubbs’ Runnin Rebels offense ranked 12th in the nation in passing after holding the ninth spot in ’96. Following one year at Memphis, Stubbs had a historical season at UTM as the Skyhawks set nine Ohio Valley Conference records while leading the conference in passing.

Stubbs received his first full-time position at Oregon State where he coached from 1985-90. Under his coordination, the Beavers ranked in the top three in the Pac-10 on offense in each season while ranking sixth nationally in ’88 and 10th in ’87.

After receiving a Bachelor’s of Science in 1978 from Brigham Young University, Stubbs earned a master’s in physical education in ’84 working as a graduate assistant for the football team. During

that season, head coach LaVell Edwards led the Cougars to a perfect 13-0 record to claim the 1984 Division I National Championship, making BYU the last non-BCS school to earn the title.

Stubbs has published three books throughout his career - “Wide Open Football,” “Developing an Explosive Offense,” and his most recent, “101 Playmakers and Special Plays”.

Stubbs and his wife Sandy reside in Thibodaux. The couple has four children - Troy, Jay, Kim and Kyle – and is the proud grandparents of nine.

Nicholls put up a tremendous defensive effort by holding South Alabama to no touchdowns, but two crucial turnovers in the second half led to a pair of field goals as the Jaguars edged the Colonels, 9-3, in front of 15,237 fans at Ladd-Peebles Stadium.

The Colonel defense was stout all game, limiting the Jaguars to 279 yards. Nicholls forced two turnovers for the game, and had two missed opportunities in the second half. Senior Jordan Piper led the team with 12 tackles, while junior Chris Bermond racked up 10 in his Colonel debut. The Colonels had three sacks on the day, with Rashar Knight and Darrel Brown recording one each.

Although Nicholls’ defense held USA without a touchdown, the Jaguars were as impressive, limiting the Colonels to only 118 yards of total offense. The Colonels struggled on third downs, converting only 2-of-12 attempts. Senior LaQuintin Caston led the team with 69 yards rushing on 10 carries, but the team only totaled 22 net rushing yards after six Jaguar sacks wiped out 39 yards. Sophomore tight end Nick Scelfo fueled the passing game, hauling in three catches for 40 yards.

The Nicholls State University football team had several opportunities to end their home slate on a high note against Southeastern Louisiana, but like much of the season, the Colonels were unable to capitalize as the Lions won the River Bell Classic for the second consecutive year, handing Nicholls a 35-16 loss on Senior Night.

Nicholls outgained Southeastern (5-6, 5-2) in total yards on offense, 335-323, but the Colonels’ opening drive summed up the season for the Red and Gray. After forcing the Lions to punt, Nicholls pieced together one of its most efficient drives of the season, converting four third downs to get the ball 1st-and-goal at the 10. On 4th-and-1, Marcus Washington, who led Nicholls with 47 yards rushing, fumbled at the goal line, which was recovered by the Colonels in the end zone. However, the touchdown was nullified because the offensive team cannot recover an advanced fumble of fourth down, leaving Nicholls scoreless after its 17-play drive that lasted 7:34.

Landry Klann finished 18 of 38 for 211 yards and was sacked five times. Senior Jesse Turner ran for 36 yards and led the team in receptions, finishing with five for 45 yards. Carey Fortson chipped in with four catches for 43 yards, and Wynn finished with 50 yards on two receptions.

The seniors led the Colonel defense with Jordan Piper racking up 10 tackles, followed by Kerry Guidry with nine and Rashar Knight added a sack. Vergenal added two forced fumbles and Toren Joseph had an interception for the second straight game.

No. 15 Oregon State scored racked up 683 yards on offense against the Nicholls State University football team as the Beavers rolled to a 77-3 victory in front of 32,427 fans at Reser Stadium on Saturday afternoon.

The Colonels finished with 223 yards on offense, but only 83 came in the first half. Landry Klann threw for 164 yards on 19-of-32 to become the first Colonel to eclipse 2,000 yards since 1998. Senior Jesse Turner led the team with 11 receptions for 100 yards.

Nicholls put together a 14-play, 76-yard drive in the third, resulting in a 26-yard field goal from Andrew Dolan. But the three points would be all Nicholls could get as OSU continued to score at ease, finding the end zone in all 11 of its offensive drives. The 77 points is the most surrendered in program history, and the offensive output was the highest since Air Force put up 576 yards

in 2009.For the Colonels, Bryon Cobb and Chris Bermond

led the defense with nine tackles each. Cory Kemps had a solid day punting, finishing with a 48.8 average on four punts, with three inside the 20.

In an era of considerable change in intercollegiate athletics, the Southland Conference continues to be a model of innovation, stability and consistent achievement as it celebrates a half-century of the academic and athletic accomplishments of its member institutions.

Commemorating its 50th anniversary in 2013, the Southland Conference has transformed itself into a dynamic and respected consortium of 14 member universities in four states. Beginning with a historic meeting of five institutions in Dallas on March 15, 1963, the Southland Conference set on an extraordinary course that has proven successful well into its five decades of existence.

The successful transformation continues, as the Southland Conference welcomed the addition of Oral Roberts University in 2012-13, marking the league’s first entry into the state of Oklahoma. Also, on July 1, 2013, the Southland welcomed four additional members: 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 Conference 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, Abilene Christian rejoins the league as one of the most decorated athletic programs in NCAA history, and the addition of Houston Baptist, Incarnate Word 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 14.5 million people, and seven 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 and Rodney Crowell (both Stephen F. Austin), and Ronnie Dunn (Abilene Christian), television personality and actress Ellen DeGeneres (New Orleans), current NFL standouts Lardarius Webb (Nicholls), Terrence McGee (Northwestern State), and Daniel Manning (Abilene Christian), professional golfers Shawn Stefani and Chris Stroud (both Lamar) and Colin Montgomerie (HBU), award-winning

filmmaker Richard Linklater (Sam Houston State), American Idol winner Kris Allen (Central Arkansas), NFL Hall of Famer Jackie Harris (Northwestern State), former NFL standouts Bobby Hebert (Northwestern State), Gary Barbaro (Nicholls), Wilbert Montgomery (Abilene Christian) and Gary Reasons (Northwestern State), former MLB stars Darryl Hamilton (Nicholls) and Kevin Millar (Lamar), NCAA football coach Charlie Strong (Central Arkansas), TV personality Kathie Lee Gifford (Oral Roberts), actors John Larroquette (New Orleans), and Ricardo Chavira and Jesse Borrego (both UIW) and NFL coaching legend O.A. “Bum” Phillips (Lamar and Stephen F. Austin).

The Southland sponsors 17 championship sports, all at the NCAA Division I level. The eight men’s sports include baseball, basketball, cross country, football, golf, tennis, and indoor

and outdoor track and field. The 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.

Continuing its tradition of innovation, the league launched the Southland Conference Television Network in the fall of 2008 and has broadcast more than 160 events. The network has expanded its reach to roughly 13 million households throughout Texas, Louisiana, Arkansas and Oklahoma in recent years, and has also gained national viewership through

ESPN3 and Fox College Sports. In its first five years, the network has received recognition for its work, earning numerous College Sports Media and Telly Awards.

The Southland Conference, in conjunction with the city of Frisco, Texas, and Hunt Sports Group, also serves as the host to the NCAA Division I Football Championship Game in Frisco, which has been home to the conference headquarters since 2006. The game is played at Frisco’s FC Dallas Stadium, and after a successful three-year run, the partnership was rewarded with a three-year renewal to serve as the national championship host site through the 2015 season.

Southland Conference football ranks among the best Football Championship Subdivision leagues in the nation, and enjoys an annual expectation of competing for the national championship with multiple teams advancing to the

NCAA playoffs each year. In 2011 and 2012, Sam Houston State advanced to the NCAA national championship game. Also, in 2002 and 2003, McNeese State finished the regular season ranked No. 1 in the nation, and advanced to the 2002 national championship contest. The conference has been represented in eight national championship games since the league joined the FCS (formerly I-AA) in 1982. All told, Southland teams have played in 104 Division I playoff games in 31 years, winning 51 of the contests.

Historically, the Southland’s successful football heritage has sustained itself through numerous membership and classification changes. The Southland joined the NCAA College Division in 1968, and was designated as NCAA Division II in 1973 before joining Division I in 1975. The Southland was an NCAA Division I-A league from 1978-81, before joining the ranks of FCS in 1982, its home ever since.

During its tenure as a Division I-A conference, the Southland Conference initiated the startup of the Shreveport, La.-based Independence Bowl in 1976. The Southland representative served as the host team of the bowl until 1980, compiling a 2-3 record in those contests.

The conference can lay claim to five national championships, including College Division championships through former members Arkansas State (1970, UPI) and Louisiana Tech (1972, National Football Foundation). Louisiana Tech also won the first NCAA-sanctioned national title, winning the Division II playoffs in 1973. Tech followed that with the UPI’s Division II national championship in 1974. Louisiana-Monroe won the 1987 Division I-AA national championship.

McNeese State, which has made 14 appearances in the national playoffs, also played in the 1997 NCAA Division I Championship game, while Stephen F. Austin played in the 1989 title contest and has six playoff appearances, including 2009 and 2010. Northwestern State has played in the playoffs six times, and advanced to the semifinals in 1998, while Sam Houston State has earned six trips to the postseason, including the semifinals in 2004. Nicholls has participated three times in the playoffs, and Central Arkansas has made consecutive playoff appearances in 2011 and 2012. On four occasions, the Southland has placed three teams in the NCAA playoffs.

The Southland has produced 168

first-team football All-Americans during its history and in 2010, Stephen F. Austin quarterback Jeremy Moses became the first player in Southland history to receive the Walter Payton Award, which is presented annually to the most outstanding football player at the FCS level.

The Southland is one of five FCS conferences with at least 200 selections (206) in the National Football League draft. There have been 26 Southland players taken in the draft since 2000, including Southeastern Louisiana defensive back Robert Alford, who was picked as the first FCS player in the second round of the 2013 draft. There are 20 former Southland players on NFL rosters heading into the 2013 season.

Southland Conference alums in the NFL include Buffalo’s Terrence McGee (Northwestern State) and Chicago’s Josh McCown (Sam Houston State), who have each been in the league for the last 11 seasons. Other recent NFL additions from the Southland include Green Bay’s Kevin Hughes (Southeastern Louisiana), St. Louis’ Jabara Williams (Stephen F. Austin) Washington’s Devin Holland (McNeese State), Atlanta’s Marcus Jackson (Lamar) and Cleveland’s Dominique Croom (Central Arkansas).

The Southland has seen former Nicholls players win Super Bowl rings in two of the last three seasons, as former Colonel Antonio Robinson was a member of the Green Bay Packers’ Super Bowl XLV champions. And, Nicholls-ex Lardarius Webb was a member of the Super Bowl XLVII champion Baltimore Ravens.

Among the former NFL stars from the Southland include Fred Dean, who was inducted to the Professional Football Hall of Fame in 2008 to become the first former Southland Conference player to earn induction in Canton. Other great NFL players from the Southland include Super Bowl XXIX quarterback Stan Humphries, Bill Bergey, Mike Barber, Fred Barnett, Bubby Brister, Ray Brown, Roger Carr, Larry Centers, Bruce Collie, Jackie Harris, Buford Jordan, Tim McKyer, Kavika Pittman, Billy Ryckman, Rickey Sanders, Eugene Seale, Rafael Septien, Terrance Shaw, Marcus Spears, Pat Tilley and Marvin Upshaw.

The Southland Conference has also seen its share of great coaches during its history in Maxie Lambright, Ernie Duplechin, Sam Goodwin, Jack

Doland, Bennie Ellender, Bobby Keasler, Larry Lacewell, Bill Davidson, Dennis Franchione, Pat Collins, and Ron Randleman.

In addition to football, the Southland Conference can point to a number of accomplishments in all sports.

Men’s basketball has experienced a tremendous amount of success during the Southland’s 50 years. The league has sent four teams to the NCAA Sweet Sixteen, as well as a squad to the NIT Final Four. Basketball stars Karl Malone, Joe Dumars, Jeff Foster, Dwight “Bo” Lamar, Andrew Toney and Mike Oliver played in the Southland Conference. In 2006, Northwestern State, playing as the No. 14 seed in the NCAA tournament, defeated No. 3 seed Iowa, 64-63, in first-round action. The league also saw three of its current teams, including newcomer Oral Roberts, reach the postseason in 2012.

Coaches such as Billy Tubbs, Mike Vining, Scotty Robertson, Jack Martin, Andy Russo, Bob Marlin, Danny Kaspar, Mike McConathy, Bobby Paschal and Pat Foster have led successful teams in the Southland.

In women’s basketball, the Southland also has its share of tradition with former member Louisiana-Monroe advancing to the 1985 NCAA Women’s Final Four, and Stephen F. Austin sustaining itself as one of the most successful programs in the history of the sport. In 2008, the Ladyjacks became the eighth program in NCAA Division I history to record more than 800 wins.

In each of the last four seasons, at least three Southland teams reached the postseason, and in 2012, four women’s squads earned postseason berths. A Southland team has played in the WNIT 13 times, including each of the last seven years. Women’s basketball all-stars have included Eun Jung Lee, Lisa Ingram, Portia Hill, Deneen Parker, Katrina Price, and Joskeen Garner, and coaches such as Gary Blair, Linda Sharp, James Smith and Linda Harper.

Baseball has emerged as a constant Southland Conference strength with the league earning numerous national rankings and NCAA tournament berths. The Southland consistently ranks among the top-10 conferences in the country. In 2011, 50 of the league’s 150 non-conference victories came against the Big 12, Conference USA, Sun Belt and SEC. Major leaguers such as Ben Sheets,

Micah Hoffpauir, Hunter Pence, David Segui, Brian Lawrence, Ben Broussard, Chuck Finley, Jerald Clark, and Terry Matthews once played in the Southland.

In 2012, Southeastern Louisiana’s Stefan Lopez became the league’s second winner of the national Stopper of the Year Award, which is selected by the National Collegiate Baseball Writers. Sam Houston State’s Luke Prihoda won the award in 2007. Only the Big 12 has had more players win this award.

The Southland also fares well each year in the Major League Draft, but for the first time in conference history, two Southland players were selected in the first round of the 2013 draft. Stephen F. Austin shortstop Hunter Dozier was picked eighth by the Kansas City Royals making the Southland player and hitter of the year the league’s top draft pick in any sport. Later in the first round, the Texas Rangers selected Oral Roberts right-handed pitcher Alex Gonzalez, Southland pitcher of the year, with the 23rd overall pick. The Southland has had eight first-round picks in its history.

In 2011, Lamar mentor Jim Gilligan became the first Southland coach to reach 1,200 career victories, ranking him sixth-best in the NCAA among active Division I coaches and 24th all-time. He leads an impressive list of coaches who have patrolled Southland Conference dugouts, including Mark Johnson, Mike Bianco, John Cohen, Mitch Gaspard, Smoke Laval, Butch McBroom, Pat Patterson, Tony Robichaux, Dave Van Horn and Jim Wells.

Softball continues to enjoy success on a national level, beating nationally-ranked opponents every year since 1995, including McNeese State’s win at No. 1 Arizona State early in the 2012 season.

In 2011, the league had four wins against ranked opponents, including a win by Stephen F. Austin at No. 3 Texas. In 20 years of NCAA tournament competition the Southland has racked up 15 wins.

The Southland also has a proud history in volleyball with former member Texas-Arlington representing the conference numerous times in the NCAA tournament, including a run to the NCAA Volleyball Final Four in 1989.

Track and field has also served as a proud asset for the Southland Conference as the league has produced numerous national champions and Olympic medalists. The Southland boasts 28 men and three women student-athletes who have won NCAA track and field national championships, including Northwestern State’s Trecey Rew, who won the women’s discus in 2011, Texas A&M-Corpus Christi’s Shadrack Songok (10,000-meter run) in 2007 and 2008 and McNeese State’s Brad Gebauer (pole vault) in 2007. The league has also produced U.S. Olympic track and field medalists Earl Bell, Thomas Hill, Al Joyner, Charles Austin, and Liudmila Litvinova, along with other Olympians. With the addition of 10 more All-Americans in 2012, the league continues to find national success in both indoor and outdoor track and field. In the indoor circuit, the Southland boasts 66 unique all-time All-Americans that have won a combined 11 national championships. Likewise, in the outdoor season, the league has seen 158 different All-Americans, including 128 men and 30 women, who have combined to win 21 national championships.

Golf has traditionally been a strong Southland sport as exemplified by Lamar men’s golfer Chris Stroud, who finished

third individually at the 2003 NCAA National Championship and is a member of the PGA Tour. Both Stroud and former Southeastern Louisiana golfer Hugo Leon competed in the 2010 U.S. Open. Lamar alum Shawn Stefani had a pair of top seven finishes through the midway point of the 2013 PGA tour. The league has sent multiple teams into postseason play on numerous occasions, including in 2012 when three Southland teams – Lamar, Southeastern Louisiana and Texas-Arlington – competed in the NCAA tournament. Additionally, during the past five seasons the Southland has sent 12 golfers to compete as individuals in regional play with five in 2009, three more in 2010, one each in 2011 and 2012 and two in 2013. Lamar won a pair of NCAA Division II national championships in 1967 and 1968, and also produced PGA player Ronnie Black.

In 2005, Lamar’s Dawie Van Der Walt finished fourth individually and Lamar tied for 12th place at the NCAA Men’s Golf Championship, before the Cardinals tied for ninth in 2006 and tied for third in 2007. Former Lamar golfer Casey Clendenon advanced to the semifinals of the U.S.

Amateur in 2007.In women’s tennis, Southeastern

Louisiana won 46 consecutive conference matches during a four-year period that began in 2005, while in men’s tennis Texas A&M-Corpus Christi has played in the NCAA tournament five times in the last seven years.

The conference has increased sponsorship and championship opportunities for female student-athletes in recent years, adding women’s golf and soccer as league sports.

In women’s soccer, Stephen F. Austin midfielder Kylie Louw became the first player in conference history to earn All-America honors, when she earned third-team mention by the National Soccer Coaches Association of America. A member of the South Africa Olympic team during the 2012 London Olympics, she also garnered first-team Academic All-America Honors from the College Sports Information Directors of America. The Ladyjacks have gone 72-12-8 (.826) in conference play during the last 10 seasons.

In women’s golf, the Southland sent two teams to 2012 NCAA regional play

for the first time since the league added the sport in 2002. Lamar leads all league teams with four team championships during that span.

The Southland Conference has repeatedly demonstrated its commitment to the academic and athletic success of its student-athletes. With the F.L. McDonald Postgraduate Scholarship Award, the league annually honors one male and one female scholar-athlete with a stipend for postgraduate study. The Scholar-Athlete Award is given to each institution’s male and female student-athlete with the highest grade-point average. The Steve McCarty Citizenship Award, initiated in 2005-06 and named after the former Stephen F. Austin athletic director, properly recognizes accomplishments off the court for a male and female student-athlete. Also, student-athletes with grade-point averages above 3.0 are honored on the Southland’s annual All-Academic teams and Commissioner’s Honor Roll. A record 979 student-athletes appeared on the honor roll following the 2012 spring semester, and total of 1,545 student-athletes earned a spot on the honor roll at the end of the fall and spring semesters

during the 2012-13 academic year. While successful on the fields and

courts, the Southland Conference has repeatedly demonstrated its commitment to the academic and athletic success of its student-athletes.

The conference continues to make great strides in the classroom. During the last seven years, no other Division I conference has improved its Academic Progress Rate as well as the Southland Conference has. In fact, in 2009-10, the Southland ranked 10th among the 31 Division I leagues in men’s basketball APR. The academic progress the league has shown ultimately leads to higher graduation rates for our student-athletes.

In addition to providing expanding opportunities for student-athletes, the Southland Conference and its member institutions are very involved in various community outreach programs. Many of these programs provide positive life skills training such as academics, citizenship and leadership to school-aged students in Southland communities.

Mountaineer place kicker Bjorn Nittmo missed a 42-yard field goal with 13 seconds remaining as the Colonels held on for the win.

Nicholls led 28-19 with 3:24 remaining when Jimbo Windham kicked a 40-yard field goal. The Colonels had driven from their own 25 to the Appalachian State 23 before settling for three points.

The Mountaineers got right back into the hunt on their next possession when Todd Payton hooked up with Doug Beaty for a 76-yard pass down to the Colonel four. Two plays later, John Settle scored on a five-yard touchdown run.

Nittmo’s point-after made it 28-26 with 2:13 left to play.An unsuccessful ASU on-side kick led to the Colonels taking

possession at the Mountaineer 43.After a couple runs by Brian Stropolo, Doug Hudson’s third-

down pass was picked off by Mountaineer linebacker Cedric Felton at ASU’s 42.

Appalachian State moved the ball to the Colonel 25 before Nittmo’s kick went wide left. It was the kicker’s second miss of the day.

Nicholls found a way to win despite giving up 544 yards of total offense. Settle set Division I-AA playoff records with 37 carries for 236 yards, including 151 in the second half.

Montana 48, Nicholls 3Nov. 30, 1996 • Missoula, Mont.

Montana sophomore quarterback Brian Ah Yat passed for 363 yards and three touchdowns as the Grizzlies defeated Nicholls 48-3 in the first round of the 1996 Division I-AA playoffs.

It was Nicholls’ first appearance in the I-AA playoffs since 1986. Montana, the defending national champions, took its first step back to advancing back to the national championship game with the win over the Colonels.

The Colonels knew all about the Grizzlies’ high-flying aerial attack but it was the Griz defense which shutdown Nicholls like a Montana blizzard closes down Interstate 90. The Colonels managed just 129 yards of total offense in the game, 64 rushing and 65 passing.

Nicholls’ lone score was set up by a 33-yard interception return by Ricky Wilson down to the Montana 9. Adam Diel kicked a 42-yard field goal with 14 seconds left in the first quarter to cut the Grizzlies’ lead to 10-3.

Montana scored on consecutive drives in the second quarter to take a 24-3 lead at the half. The Griz had 317 yards of total offense by the end of the first quarter to the Colonels’ 32. Montana finished with 545 yards of total offense, including 447 passing.

Furman 14, Nicholls 12Nov. 26, 2005 • Greenville, S.C.

The Colonels championship season came to an end, as the Furman Paladins used a stingy defense to sneak past Nicholls, 14-12.

Nicholls scored the first points of the game. After Furman’s Jerome Felton fumbled at the Paladins’ 34-yard line, Naton Stewart returned the ball 11 yards. After gaining six yards, Alex Romero kicked a 34-yard field goal with 11:21 left in the first quarter to give the Colonels an early 3-0 lead.

After threatening on several occasions, Nicholls quarterback Yale Vannoy threw a 40-yard pass to Michael Okoronkwo to help setup a 11-yard DeMarko Hutchinson scamper that put Nicholls inside the Paladins 10-yard line. Like it did most of the day, Furman’s defense stepped up and forced a field goal attempt. Romero got the call and converted on a 20-yard try to give the Colonels a 6-0 lead with 11:21 remaining in the half.

After exchanging possession, the Paladins gained momentum following two rushes for 30 yards by Cedrick Gipson and an Ingle Martin 17-yard dash that put Furman on the Colonels 33-yard line. Two plays later, Martin hit Justin Stepp for a 29-yard completion in the endzone to give the Paladins a 7-6 lead heading into the locker room.

Furman carried the momentum gained from their last scoring drive into the third quarter. In a drive that saw the Paladins keeping the ball on the ground for all but five yards, Furman drove 57 yards in 15 plays, capped by a one-yard run by Martin to extend their lead to 14-6 with 8:06 remaining in the third quarter.

Determined not to let their championship season end, the Colonels answered with a score of their own. Facing third-and-9 from their 21-yard line, the Paladins Andrew Thacker was called for pass interference, giving Nicholls first-and-10 from their 36-yard line. Following a series of rushes by a trio of Colonels, Vannoy completed a 22-yard pass to Kenly Horton on fourth-and-3 for a Nicholls touchdown with 2:02 remaining in the third quarter. However, the Colonels’ two-point attempt failed, giving Furman a two-point advantage at 14-12.

The Colonels were led by senior quarterback Vannoy, who finished the game with 13 carries for 46 yards. He also went 3-for-8 passing for 72 yards and a touchdown. Joseph Tobias averaged 4.5 yards per carry, with 90 yards on 20 attempts.

Toney Edison led Nicholls on the defensive side of the ball with nine tackles, one tackle for a loss, one fumble recovery and one blocked field goal.

Athletic DirectorRob Bernardi

enters his thirteenth season as director of athletics at Nicholls State University, making him the second-longest tenured athletics director in the school’s history behind the legendary Ray

Since arriving in Thibodaux, Bernardi has reinvigorated Nicholls athletics by transforming the department into a modern, progressive program aimed at increasing funding, improving facilities and enhancing the student-athlete experience. The California native’s energy has worn off on coaches, student-athletes and members of the support staff.

Bernardi helped orchestrate the renewal of a self-assessed student fee to help support Colonel athletics. It was the first time in more than two decades that intercollegiate athletics at Nicholls received funding directly from student fees.

athletics. Improved facilities and added pride are not

the only areas where Bernardi has brought about changes to the athletic program. Improving graduation rates and upgrading the academic services provided to Colonel athletes has been a goal of the department since Bernardi took over. The commitment to academics has begun to show positive results in the form of higher graduation rates and improved APR (Academic Progress Rates) scores. Colonel athletes are graduating at increasingly higher rates than ever before.

Bernardi is credited with bringing the Manning Passing Academy to Nicholls State University. The football camp, which features Archie, Peyton and Eli Manning, has brought national attention to the Thibodaux community. The nationally recognized football camp finished its seventh year on the Nicholls campus, MPA attracts over 1000 young athletes to Nicholls and has become a summer attraction for the community, and economic success for the local community.

Bernardi has been active within the NCAA governance process having served on numerous NCAA committees. Currently Rob Bernardi is a member of the NCAA Division Leadership Council, while serving on the Division I Football Championship Committee, the NCAA Division I Committee on Athletics Certification, and the NCAA Division I Football Issues Committee, as well as the NCAA Interpretations Committee and the Division I Academics/Eligibility/Compliance

The facility is named in honor of former Galliano state representative John L. Guidry who was instrumental in the establishment of Francis T. Nicholls Junior College.

The stadium features a three-level press box on the west side. The second level houses an area for game management staff, radio and coaches’ booths and a working press area that was established following a renovation project that was completed prior to the 1999 season. The president’s suite and a 30-seat club level, which was also part of the 1999 press box renovation, is located on the third level. A photo deck is located on the roof. Just prior to the start of the 2010 season, a new scoreboard, complete with graphic animation features as well as a new sound system was installed. In 2012, the west entrance of the stadium was given a facelift which included a new elevator shaft and working elevator, entrance into the Colonel Club area and an ever-present illuminated Nicholls “N”.

Adjacent to the elevator landing at ground level is the Colonels Club Room. Members use the building as a hospitality area before home games as well as for various university functions throughout the year.

Guidry Stadium is located adjacent to the Frank Barker Athletic Building, which houses the Nicholls football coaches’ offices, locker rooms, the athletic training department and athletic staff. The Nicholls strength and conditioning facility and a 50-yard artificial turf field are located directly behind Barker Hall.

The stadium was officially dedicated on September 16, 1972 as Nicholls defeated Ouachita Baptist 12-7.

Hermon Grissom drilled a 37-yard field goal in the opening period for the first score in the stadium. Chris “Gator” Gardner caught a 27-yard pass from Lonnie Rogers for the first Colonel touchdown in the stadium as Nicholls came from behind to win.

The facility was originally referred to as Colonel Stadium but was renamed in Guidry’s honor Sept. 15, 1973.

In 40 seasons, the Colonels have posted a 109-97-3 record in Guidry Stadium.

In 1975, Nicholls captured the Gulf South Conference championship with an 8-2 record, including a 6-0 mark at home. It is the only time Nicholls has gone undefeated at home. The 1996 Colonels capped the program’s 25th anniversary season by going 5-1 in Guidry Stadium.

The five largest crowds to see the Colonels play in the stadium have come against intra-state rival Southern University, including a record 14,125 in the first Jaguar-Colonel game played in the stadium in 1981.

The stadium underwent an unexpected facelift during the 1992 season after suffering $150,000 worth of damage during Hurricane Andrew.

The concrete facade between the third-floor glass and the roof was ripped away by strong winds during the storm and falling debris destroyed 52 chair back seats. Glass on the south side of the press box on both the second and third levels was also blown out.

Members of the media had a rare opportunity to enjoy the first three home games in an open-air press box while the stadium was in repair.

Guidry Stadium was originally constructed at a cost of nearly $2 million.
