SULLY LAICHE


2 0 1 7 O U T L O O KSTORYLINES

After making strides in each of the first two seasons under head coach Tim Rebowe, the Colonels have their sights

set on breaking through in 2017. The roster shapes up nicely for Nicholls as it returns 50 letterwinners, and loses just four starters on offense and two on defense. Headlining the returnees are all-league honorees Chandler Arceneaux, Sully Laiche and Allen Pittman.

Nicholls will open up its season with a Southland game for the first time since 1992. The Colonels host rival McNeese for a Thursday night showdown at John L. Guidry Stadium on Aug. 31. The Colonels have not defeated the Cowboys since 2008.

The Colonels will take on Prairie View A&M at home, marking the first nonconference Division I opponent for Nicholls in Thibodaux since the 2009 campaign. The last time Nicholls faced a Division I foe at John L. Guidry was on Sept. 26 against Jacksonville State.

Nicholls will play only one FBS program this season, Tex-as A&M, breaking a streak of eight straight seasons of playing two or more FBS teams. The matchup against the Aggies will be the second consecutive campaign that Nicholls will play a Southeastern Conference program as the Colonels opened last season at Georgia.

Coach Rebowe continues to hammer away at building the program with local talent. After signing 49 Louisiana natives out of his first 52 signees, nine of his 12-member 2017 signing class also came from the Pelican State. Last year’s roster featured 92 instate products.

OFFENSE

The Colonel offense will once again feature quarterback Chase Fourcade. After putting together an impressive fall

camp as a true freshman, Fourcade landed the starting job and never looked back. He went on to earn honorable mention All-Southland after putting together one of the best passing performances in program history, racking up 2,482 yards for the third-best single season of any Colonel. He accounted for 27 touchdowns – 18 passing and nine rushing – and finished fourth in the league in passing yards with 257.1 per game.

The offensive line welcomes back two of its anchors

in right tackle Chandler Arceneaux and center Ryan Hanley. Arceneaux earned First-Team All-Southland after starting all 11 games, and Hanley received honorable mention for the second time in as many seasons.

With the graduation of C.J. Bates, quarterback Chase Fourcade will have to find a new No. 1 target. Bates led the team with 798 yards and nine touchdowns on 53 receptions en route to being named Second-Team All-Southland. The top candidate to replace him will be Fourcade’s Rummel High teammate, junior Damion Jeanpiere. After having a strong freshman campaign cut short with an injury, Jeanpiere racked up 505 yards receiving and six touchdowns last season.

DEFENSE

The Colonel defense improved once again under Coach Rebowe and defensive coordinator Tommy Rybacki, shed-

ding numbers off its points allowed, total defense and rushing defense. The most drastic change from 2015 to last season was the rush defense, which went from 10th-best in the SLC at 244 yards allowed to fourth in 2016 at 141 yards.

A big key in the Colonels’ improved defense was the play of the defensive line. A First-Team selection as a true freshman, Sully Laiche led the charge with 9.5 sacks, which ranked third in the league, and finished second on the team with 60 tackles. Kenny Dotson chipped in with 4.5 sacks and joined Terrell Encalade with 30 or more tackles.

Two main starters return for the linebackers with redshirt sophomore Allen Pittman and junior Hezekiah White heading the group. Pittman had a breakout rookie campaign, leading Nicholls with 95 tackles and was named Second-Team All-Southland. White put together another strong year with 58 stops, 9.0 tackles for loss and two interceptions.

The defense that led the Southland with 15 interceptions will need to replace two starters in the secondary - B.T. Sanders, who signed a free agent deal with the Buffalo Bills, and Jeff Hall. Christian Boutte, who had three picks, and the team’s leader in pass breakups with nine, Darryl Adams, both return for the defensive backfield.

SPECIAL TEAMS

The Colonels bring back all of their key members of the special teams. Senior punter Tyler St. Germain returns after

starting the last two seasons, and fellow classmate David McKey was the team’s primary kicker in 2016, connecting on nine field goals. Junior long snapper Wesley Barnett is expected to start for the third straight season.

Sophomore Stefano Guarisco was the team’s top kick returner last season, tallying 777 yards on 37 returns for a 21.0 average. Jarrell Rogers led the punt returners with five returns for 26 yards.

The Colonels have improved in both seasons under head coach Tim Rebowe and expectations are high for the

2017 squad. Last year’s team was filled with young talent and Nicholls will have to replace just a handful of its key contributors from 2016’s fourth-place team.

Rebowe completely changed the culture in his first year, ending a program-record losing streak and led Nicholls to a pair of road victories in Southland play. Last season, the Colonels recorded their first winning campaign in the SLC since 2005 and finished tied for fourth place. Before Rebowe arrived two seasons ago, Nicholls had finished last in the league for four consecutive seasons.

Despite going 0-2 out of the league in 2016, the Colonels made their presence known early on with impressive showings against FBS opponents. Nicholls shocked the country in the opening weekend by nearly knocking off No. 9 Georgia in a 26-24 decision. Just two weeks later, the Colonels lost a heartbreaker in overtime at South Alabama, 41-40.

Rebowe vowed to build the program by recruiting local talent, and his first three recruiting classes consisted of 58 Louisiana natives out of a total of 64 signees. In his first signing class, Rebowe welcomed 26 student-athletes, all from the Pelican State and the majority coming from within a 100-mile radius of Thibodaux. The 2016 recruiting class was donned by some as the best in the program’s history, and several true freshmen made a huge impact in last season’s success.

Rebowe, a 54-year old native of Norco, La., was named head football coach on Nov. 21, 2014, becoming the 10th in the program’s history. Rebowe, who coached at Louisi-ana-Lafayette as an assistant for 11 seasons and was a former assistant coach at Nicholls for six years, not only brought a wealth of experience coaching at the collegiate level, but has strong ties to the state of Louisiana having coached within the borders his entire career.

Rebowe helped lead the Ragin’ Cajun program to four consecutive New Orleans Bowl victories and a conference cham-pionship under head coach Mark Hudspeth. During his tenure at ULL, Rebowe served as the safeties coach (2004-07, 2011-14)

TIM REBOWEHEAD COACH

and linebackers coach (2008-10).In 2014, ULL’s defense ranked first in the Sun Belt in

rushing yards allowed and red zone defense, while ranking sec-ond in points allowed. The defense finished with seven intercep-tions on the year, including two by cornerback Corey Trim, who was named All-Sun Belt Second Team Defense. Under Rebowe’s tutelage in 2013, the Cajuns tied for the conference lead with 14 interceptions. Two years prior, his safeties combined for five interceptions, with three returned for touchdowns.

Rebowe’s group had a stellar year in his first season as defensive backs coach in 2004 as the defense ranked 11th in the nation in passing yards allowed. Both of his starting safeties that year, C.C.

Rob Christophel is in his third season with the Nicholls State University football program as offensive coordinator.

Under Christophel’s direction, the Colonel offense has steadily improved in his two seasons. In 2016, the offense averaged 30.3 points per game, which was nearly 13 points more than the previous campaign. One of the biggest factors in the increase of production was fueled by the revamped passing game. Led by freshman quarterback Chase Fourcade, Chris-tophel’s offense averaged 226.7 yards passing - an increase of 80 yards from 2015.

In his first season at Nicholls, the Red and Gray closed on a high note by averaging 27.3 points and 433.3 yards over the final four contests. In the win at Lamar, Nicholls posted a sea-son-high 559 yards of total offense, helped by an astounding 415 yards rushing. The single-game total on the ground was the most for the program since 2007 when the Colonels rushed for 427 yards against Texas State.

Christophel, a native of Reading, Ohio, joined the Colonel staff after spending eight seasons at Missouri State as the Bears’ offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach.

A veteran with more than 20 years of experience at the college level, Christophel’s ties to Louisiana, as well as Coach Tim Rebowe, came before his stint at Missouri State. From 2001-06, Christophel served as offensive coordinator and quarterback coach at Louisiana-Lafayette. During his tenure, ULL ranked seventh in the FBS in rushing offense in 2005 while leading the Sun Belt in nine offensive categories. In 2006, the Ragin’ Cajuns were 14th nationally and first in the Sun Belt in rushing offense and second in total offense.

At Missouri State, Christophel’s offense produced several national and conference high-ranking marks. In 2013, his Bears produced the second-most rushing yards (1,484) of any MVFC school in league games, and after helping engineer an of-fense that ranked 20th nationally in pass efficiency in 2011, his offense garnered another national ranking in 2012, allowing just 1.36 sacks per game, which ranked 22nd nationally.

Upon his arrival in Springfield in 2007, Christophel installed a no-huddle, spread offense that produced the highest

scoring average in school history for an 11-game season in 2007 as the Bears averaged 36.3 points. The Bears also averaged 49.5 points at home and posted a 5-1 record. The following year, the offense was fueled by an All-American tight end in Clay Harbor, who collected AP All-America and first-team All-MVFC honors for the third straight year in 2009 and went on to be selected by the Philadelphia Eagles in the fourth round of the NFL Draft.

Likewise, the 2010 offensive unit produced a consensus All-American in OT David Arkin who was picked by the Dallas Cowboys in the fourth round of the 2011 NFL Draft. The 2010 Bears finished 13th in the nation in total offense (425.45) and 11th in rushing yards per game (214.18), while committing just 13 turnovers in 11 games.

From 1997 to 2002, Christophel was offensive coordi-nator and quarterback coach at Lambuth University in Jackson, Tenn., where the offensive units he guided were among the top 10 in passing offense and total offense in the NAIA from 1998-2000. Christophel held a similar position from 1992 to 1997 at Idaho State after coaching at Murray State from 1984 to 1991.

Tommy Rybacki is in his third season with the Nicholls State University football program as defensive coordinator.

In just two seasons, Rybacki has transformed the defense into one of the best in the Southland. From his first to second season, the defense improved in points allowed, total defense and rushing defense. The most drastic change from 2015 to last season was the rush defense, which improved from 10th in the SLC to fourth best in 2016 at 141 yards allowed. The unit also led the Southland in interceptions last season, hauling in a league best 15 INTs.

In 2015, the defense made tremendous strides after ranking near the bottom of the FCS over the past few years. The Colonels ended the year ranked sixth in the league in total

defense, seventh in scoring defense and also proved to be one of the league’s toughest squads to throw against, allowing an SLC-best 178.2 passing yards per game. Nicholls totaled 12 sacks in Rybacki’s first campaign, which is just one less than the team recorded in the previous two seasons.

Rybacki, a native of Huntsville, Ala., joined the Colonel staff after coaching one season at Southland Conference mem-ber Central Arkansas in 2014. At UCA, Rybacki’s cornerbacks contributed to 16 interceptions, which ranked second in the Southland.

Bates, who had a 45-yard touchdown catch in the second quarter, gave Nicholls a 21-17 lead in the fourth after catching a heave by Chase Fourcade en route to an 80-yard touchdown. But UCA took the lead back on a touchdown and then extended it on a 79-yard interception return for a score for a 31-21 advantage with eight minutes to go.

Nicholls made it a one possession game on a 46-yard field goal by David McKey with five minutes remaining and the defense was able to get a stop, giving Nicholls the ball back with two minutes left on the clock. On the third play of the drive, Fourcade connected with Bates for a potential game-tying 38-yard touchdown, but Bates was flagged for pass interference. Facing a fourth-and-29, UCA sealed the win with its third interception of the quarter.

Fourcade totaled 340 yards passing and added 66 yards on the ground, completing 22-of-46 passes and had the two touch-downs to Bates. The career day also put Bates past 1,000 yards in just two seasons, placing him 10th on the all-time receiving list.

Bates scored the Colonels’ lone touchdown in the first half, with Nicholls trailing 10-7 at the break.

In the third, Nicholls scored right away as Kyran Irvin recorded his first career rushing touchdown on a 1-yarder. The teams traded touchdowns before UCA scored two straight in the fourth to take a 31-21 lead.

Although the Colonel defense saw its interception streak come to an end, Nicholls picked up three sacks and nine tackles for loss. Allen Pittman continued his tear with a career-high 19 tackles, and Sully Laiche added two sacks to his stellar freshman campaign.

Facing the nation's top-ranked rush defense, the Colonels totaled 131 yards on the ground, led by Fourcade. C.J. Okpalobi ran for 60 on 11 carries as the team averaged 4.2 yards per carry.

GAME 11Southeastern La. 44, Nicholls 42November 17, 2016 • John L. Guidry StadiumThibodaux, Louisiana

Trailing by 16 late in the fourth quarter, Nicholls scored two touchdowns in the final two minutes and recovered a pair

of onside kicks, but a last-second Hail Mary into the end zone

was batted down as the Colonels were defeated by Southeastern Louisiana, 44-42, in the River Bell Classic on Thursday night.

A field goal by Southeastern looked to have put the game away at 44-28 with five minutes remaining before Nicholls made it furious comeback. The Colonels pulled within eight when Chase Fourcade threw a 5-yard touchdown pass to Damion Jeanpiere with 1:18 remaining and then found C.J. Bates for a two-point conversion.

A successful onside kick led to a 2-yard touchdown run by Fourcade with 4 seconds left on the clock, but this time, his two-point try was batted down to keep the score at 44-42. But once again, David McKey delivered another successful onside kick. Nicholls had one last chance from the SLU 37 and Fourcade's desperation heave into the end zone was broken up as SLU escaped with the River Bell.

The Colonels rushed for a season-high 322 yards, with fresh-man Dontrell Taylor accounting for 169 yards and a touchdown on just 12 carries. Classmate Kryan Irvin also had a big night, racking up 97 yards on 15 carries.

Nicholls fell behind 14-0 after the first quarter before the offense exploded for three touchdowns in the second. Bates, who had four receptions for 94 yards and two touchdowns, scored his first TD of the night on a 24-yard pass to cut the deficit in half. The Colonels then tied it up on a Fourcade keeper and Taylor busted loose for a 33-yard touchdown as Nicholls headed into the break with a 21-14 lead.

In the second half, the momentum swung back to the Lions who scored three straight touchdowns for a 34-21 advantage early in the fourth. Needing a big play, Fourcade went to Bates for a 57-yard touchdown; however, SLU answered right back with a long TD pass of its own. SLU then tacked on the field goal for the 16-point lead before Nicholls mounted its comeback.

Fourcade accounted for five touchdowns, but had three interceptions on 17-of-40 passing (255 yards).

Ronald Ollie, Ahmani Martin and Allen Pittman led the team with seven tackles each, and Darryl Adams added two pass breakups.

The Colonels finished the season with a winning record in Southland play (5-4) for the first time since 2005. In just his first year, Fourcade threw for 2,482 yards which is the third best single-season in program history. Bates closed out his career with 1,193 yards receiving, placing him ninth on the all-time list.

Well into its sixth decade of service, the Southland Conference continues to be a model of innovation, sta-

bility 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 continued, 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 consists of the University of Central Arkansas, Lamar University, McNeese State University, Nicholls State University, Northwestern State University, Sam Houston State University, Southeastern Louisiana University, Stephen F. Austin State University and Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi.

An original Southland member from 1963-73, Abilene Christian rejoined the league as one of the most decorated athletic programs in NCAA history; and the addition of Houston Baptist, UIW and New Orleans gives the Southland a regular competitive presence in the key metropolitan areas of Houston, San Antonio and New Orleans. Southland cities encompass approximately 14 million people, and six of its television markets rank among the top 100 in the U.S.

The membership of the Southland encompasses nearly 140,000 current students and an alumni base of 800,000. Famous alums from current Southland Conference schools include former CBS news anchor Dan Rather (Sam Houston State), NBA executive Joe Dumars (McNeese), 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), Robert Alford (Southeastern La.) and Jeremy Lane (Northwestern State), 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 star Kevin Millar (Lamar), NCAA football coach Charlie Strong (Central Arkansas), actors John Larroquette (New Orleans), Ricardo Chavira (UIW) and Jesse Borrego (UIW), and the late NFL coaching legend O.A. “Bum” Phillips (Lamar and Stephen F. Austin).

The Southland sponsors 17 championship sports, all at the NCAA Division I level. The eight men’s sports include baseball, basketball, cross country, football, golf, tennis, and indoor and outdoor track and field. The women compete for nine championships in basketball, cross country, golf, soccer, softball, tennis, indoor and outdoor track and field, and volleyball. The conference earns automatic qualification to NCAA championships in baseball, men’s and women’s basketball, men’s and women’s cross country, football, men’s and women’s golf, women’s soccer, softball, men’s and women’s tennis, and volleyball. The Southland Bowling League, an affiliated Conference sport, originated in 2015, and four of its members filled out half of the eight-team NCAA Championship bracket, with Stephen F. Austin winning the national championship in 2016.

The Southland enjoys multiple national and regional television broadcast agreements and relationships with ESPN Networks, the American Sports Network, Cox Sports Television, Root Sports Southwest, Fox College Sports and Time Warner Cable Sports Channel. In recent years, the Conference has won numerous broadcast awards for its quality of production.

The Southland Conference, in conjunction with the city of Frisco, Texas, and Hunt Sports Group, also serves as the host to the NCAA Division I Football Championship Game in Frisco, which has been home to the conference headquarters since 2006. The game is played at Frisco’s Toyota Stadium, and after a pair of successful three-year agreements, the Southland and its partners were rewarded with a four-year renewal to serve as the national championship host site through the 2020 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 2015, two Southland teams – McNeese and Sam Houston State– both qualified for the NCAA Division I THE SOUTHLAND CONFERENCE Football Championship, with the Bearkats reaching the national semifinals for the fourth time in five years. In 2011 and 2012, Sam Houston advanced to the national championship game. Also, in 2002 and 2003,

McNeese finished the regular season ranked No. 1 in the nation, and advanced to the 1997 and 2002 national championship contests. The conference has been represented in eight national championship games since the league joined the FCS (formerly I-AA) in 1982. Southland teams have played in 123 Division I playoff games in 35 years, winning 61 of the contests.

Historically, the Southland’s successful football heritage has sustained itself through numerous membership and classifi-cation changes. The Southland joined the NCAA College Division in 1964, and was designated as NCAA Division II in 1973 before joining Division I in 1975. The Southland was an NCAA Division I-A league from 1978-81, before joining the ranks of FCS in 1982.

During its tenure as a Division I and I-A conference, the Southland 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 champion-ships, 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, winner of a record 14 Southland football titles, has made 16 appearances in the NCAA Division I playoffs, while Sam Houston has earned nine trips to the football playoffs. Stephen F. Austin played in the 1989 NCAA title contest

and has seven playoff appearances, most recently in 2014. Northwestern State has advanced to the NCAA playoffs six times, Nicholls has participated three times in postseason, Southeastern Louisiana played in the 2013 and 2014 NCAA Championships, and Central Arkansas made consecutive playoff appearances in 2011 and 2012. On six occasions, the Southland has placed three teams in the NCAA playoffs.

The Southland has produced 184 first-team football All-Americans during its history. 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. Sam Houston State’s Jeremiah Briscoe joined him, winning the award after the 2016 season.

The Southland is one of five FCS conferences with at least 200 selections (212) in the National Football League draft. Southeastern Louisiana defensive back Robert Alford, was picked as the first FCS player in the second round of the 2013 draft. Lamar defensive back Brendan Langley was taken by the Denver Broncos in the third round in the 2017 draft.

Southland Conference alums in the NFL include New York Jets quarterback Josh McCown (Sam Houston State), who has been in the league for the last 14 seasons, and Baltimore’s Lardarius Webb, who is currently the second-longest tenured


T H E S O U T H L A N D C O N F E R E N C Eplayer with eight seasons of experience. Other recent NFL additions from the Southland include New England’s Kevin Hughes (Southeastern Louisiana), Dallas’ Dax Swanson (Sam Houston State), Seattle’s Jeremy Lane (Northwestern State), Tennessee’s Josh Aubrey (Stephen F. Austin), Atlanta’s Robert Alford (Southeastern Louisiana) and Buffalo’s Dezmin Lewis (Central Arkansas).

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

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

The Southland Conference has also seen its share of great coaches during its history in Maxie Lambright, Ernie Duplechin, Sam Goodwin, Jack Doland, Bennie Ellender, Bobby Keasler, Larry Lacewell, Bill Davidson, Dennis Franchione, Pat Collins, and Ron Randleman.

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

Men’s basketball has experienced a tremendous amount of success during the Southland’s history. 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, Mike Oliver and Thomas Walkup played in the Southland Conference.

In 2015-16, Stephen F. Austin won its third consec-utive regular-season title after going 18-0 in league play, advancing to the NCAA tournament for the third straight year. The Lumberjacks, seeded 13th, defeated No. 4 West Virginia, 70-56, before losing a last-second contest to Notre Dame. The 2013-14 SFA squad set numerous Southland records, including marks for victories in a season (32) and consecutive wins overall (29 straight) and in conference play (23 in a row). Playing as a 12th seed, the Lumberjacks knocked off fifth-seeded Virginia Commonwealth, 77-75, in the NCAA’s Second Round. In 2006, Northwestern State, playing as the No. 14 seed in the NCAA tournament, defeated No. 3 seed Iowa, 64-63, in first-round action. The league placed a record five men’s basketball teams in the postseason in 2015 and 2017, and sent four teams to the postseason in 2016.

Coaches such as Billy Tubbs, Mike Vining, Brad Under-wood, 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 2016, the Ladyjacks became the fifth program in NCAA Division I history to record more than 1,000 wins.

In each of the last seven seasons, at least three Southland teams reached the postseason, and in 2013, four women’s squads earned postseason berths. A Southland team has played in the WNIT 15 times, including each of the last 10 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 Wade Miley, Paul Goldschmidt, Jace Peterson, Hunter Pence, Ben Sheets, Micah Hoffpauir, David Segui, Brian Lawrence, Ben Broussard, Chuck Finley, Jerald Clark, and Terry Matthews once played in the Southland. In 2017, Sam Houston State became the first team in Southland history to advance past the regional round.

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, and for the first time, 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 2016, his final season of a 39-year career, Lamar head

coach Jim Gilligan became the only Southland coach to win more than 1,350 games, ranking him 16th all-time in NCAA Division coaching. The Jim Gilligan Trophy is now annually awarded to the Southland regular-season champion. Gilligan leads an im-pressive list of coaches who have patrolled Southland Conference dugouts, including Mark Johnson, Mike Bianco, John Cohen, Mitch Gaspard, Smoke Laval, Butch McBroom, Pat Patterson, David Pierce, 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’s win at No. 1 Arizona State early in the 2012 season. In 2013, the league had six wins against ranked opponents, including wins by McNeese at No. 7 Alabama and No. 8 Texas A&M. In NCAA tournament competition, the Southland has racked up 16 wins, including McNeese’s opening win against Arizona State in 2016.

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

Track and field has also served as a proud asset for the Southland Conference as the league has produced numerous national champions and Olympic medalists. The Southland boasts 28 men and four women student-athletes who have won NCAA track and field national championships, including Southeastern Louisiana’s Alexander Young, the 2016 NCAA men’s indoor weight throw champion, Stephen F. Austin’s Demi Payne, who won the 2015 women’s pole vault, Northwestern State’s Trecey Rew, who

won the women’s discus in 2011, Texas A&M-Corpus Christi’s Shadrack Songok (men’s 10,000-meter run) in 2007 and 2008 and McNeese’s Brad Gebauer (men’s pole vault) in 2007. The league has also produced U.S. Olympic track and field medalists Earl Bell, Thomas Hill, Al Joyner, Charles Austin, and Liudmila Litvinova, along with other Olympians. With the addition of 12 more All-Americans in 2016, the league continues to find national success in indoor and outdoor track and field. In the indoor circuit, the Southland boasts 69 unique all-time All-Americans that have won a combined 11 national champion-ships. Likewise, in the outdoor season, the league has seen 177 different All-Americans, including 144 men and 33 women, who have combined to win 21 national championships.

Golf has traditionally been a strong Southland sport as exemplified by Lamar men’s golfer Chris Stroud, who finished third individually at the 2003 NCAA National Championship and has 21 top ten PGA finishes since joining pro tour in 2007. Another Lamar alum, Shawn Stefani, had a pair of top seven finishes on the 2013 PGA tour. The league has sent multiple teams into postseason play on numerous occasions, including in 2012 when three Southland teams – Lamar, Southeastern Loui-siana 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

SOUTHLAND CONFERENCE FOOTBALL AFFILIATE DEMOGRAPHICS

2009, three more in 2010, one each in 2011 and 2012 and two in 2013. Lamar won a pair of NCAA Division II national championships in 1967 and 1968.

In 2005, Lamar’s Dawie Van Der Walt finished fourth individually and Lamar tied for 12th place at the NCAA Men’s Golf Championship, before the Cardinals tied for ninth in 2006 and tied for third in 2007.

In women’s tennis, Southeastern Louisiana won 46 consecutive conference matches during a four-year period that began in 2005, while in men’s tennis Texas A&M-Corpus Christi has played in the NCAA tournament eight times in the last 11 years.

In women’s soccer, Stephen F. Austin midfielder Kylie Louw became the first play-er 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. In 2015, Southeastern Louisiana’s goalkeeper Hope Sabadash became the second player in league history to earn All-America honors, earning a spot on the NSCAA Second Team. Abilene Christian’s Brie Buschman was a first-team Academic All-American in 2013, and Stephen F. Austin’s Morgan Glick earned the same honor in 2014.

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 has a league-best seven Southland championships during that span.

The Southland Conference has repeatedly demonstrated its commitment to the ac-ademic and athletic success of its student-athletes. With the F.L. McDonald Postgraduate Scholarship Award, the league annually honors male and female scholar-athletes with a stipend for postgraduate study. The 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-ath-letes with grade point averages above 3.0 are honored on the Southland’s annual All-Academic teams and Commissioner’s Honor Roll. A total of 2,379 student-athletes earned a spot on the Honor Roll at the end of the 2016-17 academic year.

The conference continues to make great strides in the classroom. During the last decade, no other Division I league 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 com-munity outreach programs.

A L L - T I M E S C O R E SGARY KINCHEN > > 1972-73

Gary Kinchen was faced with building a football program when he was named

Nicholls’ first head coach in 1971. In the school’s first two intercollegiate seasons, his teams posted a 5-17 record.

Under Kinchen, the Colonels won the first two games ever played in Guidry Stadium, then known simply as Colonel Stadi-um. Nicholls defeated Ouachita Bapist 12-7 in its home opener then a week later defeated Slippery Rock 18-14.

Nicholls finished its first season with a 3-8 record then went 2-9 the following year.

Kinchen assumed the head coaching duties after two years at Rice (1969-70) where he coached both the offensive and defensive lines.

His coaching career began at Glen Oaks High School in Baton Rouge after letting three years as an offensive lineman at Louisiana State (1961-63).

After two seasons as an assistant coach on the Glen Oaks staff, Kinchen was named the head coach. His coaching career also included stops at Southwestern Louisiana (1966) and Tulane (1967-68).

In seven seasons, Clements’ teams posted a 36-38-1 record. His 1979 squad went 8-3.

Prior to being a catalyst in building Nicholls‘ program, Clements was the defensive coordinator for nine years at Holy

Stubbs joined the Colonels after holding the title of offensive coordinator at numerous universities including Alabama, Tulsa, Oregon State, Louisville and others.

In his first season, Stubbs guided Nicholls to four victories, including all three rivalry games. The Colonels knocked off Texas State in four overtimes in the “Battle of the Paddle” before closing out the season with wins against Northwestern State and Southeastern Louisiana.

In 2013, the Colonels matched Stubbs inaugural season with four wins, highlighted by the Colonels’ third-ever win over an FBS team in their four-point victory at Western Michigan. Stubbs resigned due to health issues after three games in 2014, finishing with a career record of 10-38 and 4-24 in the South-land in four-plus seasons as head coach. Steve Axman took over as interim head coach for the remaining nine games.

TIM REBOWE > > 2015-PRESENT

A native of South Louisiana and former assistant coach at Nicholls, Tim

Rebowe returned to Thibodaux to take over the program in 2015.

Rebowe came to Nicholls after helping build a dominant Louisiana-Lafayette program in his 11 sea-sons as an assistant coach. The Ragin’ Cajuns ended his tenure with four consecutive bowl game appearances, and ULL also earned a share of the Sun Belt championship in 2013.

Rebowe was brought in to “Renew” the Colonel program and he did just that in his first two seasons. After ending the program’s longest losing streak in team history, Rebowe led Nicholls to a pair of conference victories on the road – capped by a thrilling win in the River Bell Classic at rival Southeastern. The program made even bigger strides in 2016 as the Colonels posted a winning record in league play and had two near victories against FBS foes Georgia and South Alabama.

N C A A D I V I S I O N 1 - A A P L A Y O F F SMONTANA 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 man-aged 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 de-fense 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.

John L. Guidry Stadium has been home to the Colonels football team since the school began playing the sport on

the intercollegiate level in 1972. 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 the C.C. Collins Press Box on the west side. The first 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 were also part of the 1999 press box renova-tion, make up the second level, while a video and 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 with an ever-present illuminated Nicholls “N”, a glass-cased elevator and a Hall of Fame decorated lobby area. In the spring of 2017, Manning Field received a makeover as well with the installation of a brand new GeoGreen™ artificial turf by Geo-Surfaces of Baton Rouge.

Adjacent to the elevator landing at ground level is the Cen-tury 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’ of-fices, locker rooms, the athletic training department and athletic staff. The Nicholls strength and conditioning facility is 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 45 seasons, the Colonels have posted a 114-116-3 record in Guidry Stadium.

In 1975, Nicholls captured the Gulf South Conference championship with an 8-2 record, including a 5-0 mark at home. It was the only time Nicholls had gone undefeated at home until 2005 when the Red and Gray went 4-0 at Guidry Stadium en route to claiming their first Southland Conference Championship. The 1996 Colonels capped the program’s 25th anniversary season by going 5-1 at home, which is one of seven one-loss home campaigns.

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.

In 2013, Johnson launched a 30-minute television show on Altitude Sports Network. Last year, Walk With The Wolves: All Access With Colorado State University-Pueblo Athletics was available in up to 6.5 million homes and led to a partnership with Altitude to televise four Colorado State University-Pueblo football games in what became a Division II national championship season for CSU-Pueblo. The campaign included a victory at Southland powerhouse Sam Houston State.

Johnson previously served for three years as sports director for San Juan Communications in Anacortes, Washington. While there, he handled KWLE-AM's play-by-play coverage for Skagit Valley College and Anacortes High School. Johnson also hosted a daily sports talk and music show.

He started his career in 2006 as a reporter for ESPN Radio in La Crosse, Wis., where he worked as an on-site reporter in the station's coverage of the Green Bay Packers and University of Wisconsin basketball.
