SOUTH ATLANTIC CONFERENCE BASKETBALL 2008-09 www.thesac.com
The South Atlantic Conference is in its
33nd year of athletic tradition and excel-
lence. The conference has enjoyed tremen-
dous success due to dedicated people build-
ing a premier athletic conference throughout
its history.
The distant forerunner of the South
Atlantic Conference was the North State
Atlantic Conference (NSIAC). The NSIAC
was formed when the “Little Six”, as it
was called, broke from the North Carolina
Intercollegiate Athletic Conference in 1930.
These charter members included Lenoir-
Rhyne College, Atlantic Christian, Catawba
College, Guilford College, Elon College,
and High Point University.
The North State continued to grow over
the next 30 years, adding Western Carolina
(1933), East Carolina (1947) and Pfeiffer
(1960). A name change became necessary
when the league accepted Newberry as its
fi rst South Carolina member in 1961. The
league took on the name Carolinas Intercol-
legiate Athletic Conference (CIAC) on May
20th of that year.
The CIAC saw several changes in the
following years as East Carolina withdrew
from the league in 1962. Appalachian State
and Western Carolina followed in 1971
and 1976. All three landed in the Southern
Conference.
The South Atlantic Conference was
founded in 1975 solely as a football con-
ference. The league received its name from
a contest in which Kurt Brenneman of
Greensboro, NC became the fi rst to submit
the SAC-8 moniker.
The SAC-8 consisted of Carson-Newman
College, Catawba College, Elon College,
Gardner-Webb University, Lenoir-Rhyne
College, Mars Hill College, Newberry Col-
lege, and Presbyterian College. Dr. Fred
Bentley, of Mars Hill College, was named
league president for its inaugural year, by a
vote of the member institutions.
After the fi rst season of play in the SAC-8,
the Bears of Lenoir-Rhyne College captured
the fi rst football title.
In 1989, the league’s 15th year of opera-
tion, the South Atlantic Conference became
a comprehensive, all-sports conference.
Doug Echols was named the league’s fi rst
Commissioner. That year the South Atlantic
Conference sponsored 10 sports - football,
men’s and women’s basketball, baseball,
softball, men’s soccer, volleyball, men’s
golf, men’s and women’s tennis. Later the
conference grew to 14 championship sports
by adding women ‘s soccer (1990), men’s
and women’s cross country (1993) and
women’s golf (1999).
The South Atlantic Conference was com-
posed of the same eight member institutions
from 1975 until 1988, when Wingate Uni-
versity replaced Newberry College as the
eighth member institution. Newberry later
rejoined the conference in 1996.
In July of 1998, Tusculum College was
admitted as a member of the league, and
Lincoln Memorial University began play
in the conference in the 2006-07 academic
year. Brevard College was admitted as a
provisional member in 2007.
In 2008, Echols retired after serving as
Commissioner for 19 years and Patrick Britz
was hired as the new Commissioner.
Today the conference is a group of nine
private, liberal and civic arts colleges and
universities, similar in size and athletic phi-
losophy. Since becoming eligible for NCAA
Division II postseason play in 1993, the
league has sent representatives from all of its
sponsored sports to NCAA postseason play.
The league membership now includes
Brevard College in Brevard, N.C.; Carson-
Newman in Jefferson City, TN; Catawba
College in Salisbury, NC; Lenoir-Rhyne
University in Hickory, NC; Lincoln Memo-
rial University in Harrogate, TN; Mars Hill
College in Mars Hill, NC; Newberry Col-
lege in Newberry, SC; Tusculum College in
Greeneville, TN; and Wingate University in
Wingate, NC.

ROCK HILL, SC – Wingate University
senior women’s basketball player Anna At-
kinson is the recipient of the 2007-08 NCAA
Division II Conference Commissioners’
Association Female Scholar-Athlete of the
Year Award, it was announced by the CCA.
Atkinson recorded a perfect 4.0 cumula-
tive grade point average through her junior
year as a biology major and led the Wingate
University women’s basketball team to the
NCAA Division II Elite Eight.
A native of Marion, N.C., Atkinson
earned the South Atlantic Conference Fe-
male Athlete of the Year Award and the
South Atlantic Conference Presidents’
Award, presented to the conference’s top
female scholar-athlete. She is only the third
person in conference history to win both of
the league’s prestigious post-season awards.
She becomes the fi rst SAC student-athlete
to be honored with the national CCA Schol-
ar-Athlete of the Year Award.
“Anna Atkinson represents everything
that is good about intercollegiate athletics.
This is a great honor for her and the South
Atlantic Conference is extremely proud of
her accomplishments in the classroom and
the basketball court,” South Atlantic Con-
ference Commissioner Patrick Britz said.
Atkinson was also the 2008 South Atlan-
tic Conference Women’s Basketball Player
of the Year after leading the Bulldogs with
14.8 points per game and 8.4 assists per
game. She was second in the country in as-
sist-to-turnover ratio (3.27) third in assists
and fi fth in steals (3.7 per game). Atkinson
also was named the MVP of both the Food
Lion SAC Tournament and the NCAA Divi-
sion II South Atlantic Regional Tournament
this past year. Atkinson is one of only three
NCAA Division II student-athletes to earn
All-American honors on the court and in the
classroom during the 2007-08 season. She
was named to the 2007-08 Daktronics Di-
vision II women’s basketball All-American
third team and to the ESPN the Magazine/
CoSIDA Academic All-America women’s
basketball fi rst-team (college division).
“Anna Atkinson defi nes the term schol-
ar-athlete,” said Wingate University Presi-
dent Dr. Jerry McGee. “She is an extraor-
dinary basketball player and a distinguished
academic student. She beautifully represents
what the NCAA Division II is all about…a
balance between academics and athletics.”
“Anna is an incredible young women
who gives her best in every area of her life,”
said Wingate women’s basketball coach
Barbara Nelson.
These awards, sponsored by Disney
Sports, provide the opportunity for Division
II to highlight the extraordinary achieve-
ments of its student-athletes.

SOUTH ATLANTIC CONFERENCE BASKETBALL 2008-09 www.thesac.com
Warriors – that is the theme of the season
for the Brevard College men’s basketball
team in 2008-09, as head coach Michael
Jones returns 11 out of 12 players from a
year ago that posted a 4-24 record overall as
provisional members of the NCAA Division
II and the South Atlantic Conference.
The Tornados return 11 players from last
season’s team, but will only have the services
of eight of those returnees
as three will redshirt this
season. However, all five
starters, which started
all 28 games in 2007-
08, return headlined by
Preseason All-SAC Second
Team selection Jonathon
Whitson (Clyde, N.C.).
Last season Whitson led
the Tornados and was third in the SAC in
scoring, averaging 18.0 points per game and
was the number one option offensively. The
junior forward also led the team and was in
the top-fi ve of the conference in rebounding,
hauling in 7.9 per game.
Again helping Whitson in the low post is
senior Joseph Chilton (Brasstown, N.C.). The
6-8 Chilton started in all 28 games last season
and was the leading scorer in two games last
season, one of those being the Tornados 74-68
win over Newberry on February 27.
Help in the low post this season will come
in a big way in 6-10 Sam Carlisle (Raleigh,
N.C.). The redshirt junior, who sat out last
season after transferring from Wingate
University, brings both size and leadership
to the frontcourt for the Tornados.
At the other forward position a number
of returners and newcomers will bring much

needed depth to the BC lineup. Returning from
a year ago is senior Sean Ferretti (Buffalo,
N.Y.), Shane Galloway (Rosman, N.C.) and
Radosav Babic (Podgorica, Montenegro).
At 6-6, Ferretti has long arms and quick feet
which make him one of the top defenders in
the league. Galloway, the sixth man from a
year ago, will again see time off the bench
for the Tornados, as the sharp-shooting left-
hander averaged 7.9 points per game and shot
35.9 percent from the three-point line. Sharp-
shooting Babic fi nished the season shooting
40.5 percent from behind the arc. Newcomer
Michael Gist (Hephzibah, Ga.), a wide receiver
on the Tornados football team, will compete for
playing time as soon as football season ends.
Gist has incredible timing to go along with a
soft touch around the basket and quick hands
which can cause match up diffi culties.
At the guard spots, the Tornados are
deep as Coach Jones’ has a plethora of
individuals both returners and newcomers
that will compete for immediate playing
time. Returning in 2008-09 is point guard
Cody Siniard (Brevard, N.C.), shooting guard
Andrew Freeman (Asheville, N.C.) and guard
Chase Lance (Brevard, N.C.). Last season,
redshirt junior Siniard ran the offense for
the Tornados, starting all 28 games. Siniard
averaged 5.5 points per game, while dishing
out 118 assists. Freeman, his backcourt
running mate, is a 6-6 shooting guard who
can also play small forward. Freeman, an
outside threat, hit 35.1 percent of his three
point attempts a year ago, connecting on a
team-high 54 threes. Lance, who saw action
sparingly a year ago, has worked hard in
the off-season and will look to compete for
playing time in a crowded backcourt.
Depth and competition for playing time will
come from a number of new faces highlighted
by redshirt juniors Nathan Whitmire (Rosman,
N.C.) and Darin Dellinger (Stanley, N.C.).
Both Whitmire, a 6-4 point-forward, and
Dellinger, a 5-11 speedster, sat out last season.
In 2006-07, Whitmire started in 23 games as
a sophomore where he averaged 7.9 points
and 4.7 rebounds per game, while Dellinger
started nine games, playing 21.9 minutes per
game and averaged 6.6 points 2.3 assists per
game as a sophomore.
Newcomers Christian Matus (Miami,
Fla.), who did not play last season, along with
freshmen Terrence Johnson (Owensboro, Ky.)
and Richard Bush (North Augusta, Ga.) will
all compete for playing time.

The Carson-Newman Eagles enter the
2008-’09 basketball season with their high-
est level of expectations the last half-decade.
C-N returns three starters from last season’s
squad which set the South Atlantic Confer-
ence record for points per game at 90.3.
Chemistry and injuries could be the keys, as
Eagle head coach Dale Clayton begins his
21st season with one of his most-talented
squads.
A trio of All-SAC per-
formers from a season ago
is expected to lead way,
beginning with the point
guard spot, and junior Jor-
dan Dixon. The Clinton,
Tenn.-product struggled
with the lasting effects of
a concussion suffered in a
loss at Lenoir-Rhyne in mid-February, but
still managed to average 10.3 points per
game, and lead the Eagles with 114 assists.
The fi rst team All-SAC preseason selection
is expected to lead the Eagles.
Sophomore Cameron Sharpe, an All-
SAC Freshman Team selection from 2007-
08 will backup Dixon, and could see time at
the two guard.
Senior Bobby Guyton, a second team All-
SAC selection, gives the Eagles a returning
double-digit scorer in the post. He averaged
10 points and 5.9 boards, which led the
team, a season ago. His season, and likely an
NCAA Tournament berth for the Eagles, fell
to the fl oor when he crumbled to the fl oor
with a foot injury in the waning seconds in a

CARSON-NEWMAN EAGLES
Andrew Johnson
win at Newberry in early February.
Guyton averaged 16 points and 11.5
boards in his fi nal two games of the year,
wins over Catawba and Newberry. With just
one semester of availability left, he will join
the Eagles in December.
Seniors Jesse McMurray and Andrew
Johnson return for their fi nal season.
McMurray, one of the SAC top sharpshoot-
ers, buried a combined 12 threes in back-to-
back C-N wins over Mars Hill and North
Greenville last season. He fi nished the year
shooting 43 percent (76-of-179) from behind
the arc, averaging nine points per game.
Johnson is a combo-guard, who turned in
7.9 points per game and led the Eagles with
55 steals, and will draw the Eagles’ toughest
defensive assignment at guard each night.
Sophomore Adam Plavich will move to
his natural position, shooting guard, after
experimenting at point at a freshman. He,
like McMurray, has unlimited range.
Inside, senior Zach Hyatte and sophomore
Kevin Hare will play key roles. Hyatte aver-
aged 7.3 points per game as a junior, and was
one of four Eagles to play in every game.
Sophomore Justin Walker worked his
way into the rotation some late in his fresh-
man year, and could also see time.
While what C-N returns from last sea-
son’s 18-win squad has Mossy Creek excit-
ed, the newcomers to the Eagle program are
the ones expected to help push C-N back to
the NCAA Tournament.
Junior Joey Cameron is an Auburn trans-
fer, and should be the “difference-maker” on
the low block. Junior college-transfers Dar-
ron Maxtion and Tray Okoth will join Cam-
eron in the post.
True freshmen Khamori Watts and Jared
Stephens will be two of the Eagles most-ath-
letic guards. Watts is a combo-guard, while
Stephens is a true point.
Freshmen John Kinman and Michael
Nicolo will both work to fi nd their way into
Clayton’s rotation.

2007-08 Statistics
Photo by Mike Slade
The 2007-08 season was looked at as a rebuilding
year after losing three key starters from the 06-07 league
championship team, but the Indians caught fi re at the end
of the season and as a fourth-seed made a run through
the conference tournament to gain a title and a second-
straight berth into the NCAA II Tournament. The team
will return four starters from last year and once again
look to be in contention for a title.
Catawba will fi eld a strong back court as
four guards saw action in the starting lineup
last season. Heading the list is sharp-shoot-
er Antonio Houston. The junior eclipsed
the 1,000-point plateau last season become
just the third Catawba player to achieve the
milestone before his junior season. The for-
mer South Atlantic Conference Freshman
of the Year averaged 17.7 points per game
and connected on 60 three-point goals in earned fi rst team
all-league honors.
Sophomore Dominick Reid followed Houston as
the conference Freshman of the Year, taking over point
guard duties in mid-season. He scored at an even 10
points per game and added three assists a contest. He hit
on 53 three-point goals, including several in late-game
clutch situations.
Joining the duo are juniors Rob Fields and Donzell
Williams. Fields started 21 games and was second to
Houston in scoring at 11.1 points a game. He hit on 39
three-pointers and canned 82.4 percent of his free throw
attempts. Williams had 29 starts and averaged 4.8 points
and 3.9 rebounds.
Down low, the Catawba Indians lost the services
of Norman Monroe. Monroe averaged 10.9 points and
pulled down 5.2 rebounds a game. Isaac Rose and swing-
man Donald Rutherford each saw time as a starter. Rose
averaged 9.7 points a game and hit on 32 three-point
goals. Rutherford tossed in 6.7 points and led the squad
in rebounding at 5.8 a game.
Cliff Burns also gave the Indians depth last season
in the post. He scored four points a game and shared the
lead on the team with 29 blocked shots. More depth on
the roster comes from post Finnur Magnusson and guard
Trey Shoemaker.

SOUTH ATLANTIC CONFERENCE BASKETBALL 2008-09 www.thesac.com
The Lenoir-Rhyne University men’s
basketball team continues to interchange
parts on the squad to help it maintain its perch
atop of the South Atlantic Conference.
The Bears (23-7 overall and 12-2 in league
play in 2007-08), winners of four of the last
six SAC regular season titles, had one of their
best seasons in recent memory last year. A 12-
game winning streak, a league title and a berth
in the NCAA Division II Regional Semifi nals
highlighted the 2007-08 campaign.
This season, expect a
bit of a different squad
with a new starter and three
newcomers, but expect the
results to be more of the
same under 23-year mentor
and SAC Coach Of The
Year John Lentz.
Al though anybody
losing two fi rst-team all-
conference players (Josh Kindred and Reggie
Bratton) will see a drop off, the Bears appear
well-positioned to keep things at a high level
in the frontcourt.
Senior forward Donte Watson, who has
started at times in each of his fi rst three years,
is the most experienced player returning up
front. Watson, the 2005-06 SAC Freshman Of
The Year, may not have spectacular numbers
(4.6 ppg and 2.5 rpg) but has been a consistent
and heady player for L-R.
Sophomore forward D.J. Blackmon has
outstanding athletic ability. Blackmon (5.4
ppg and 2.8 rpg) has a tremendous upside
and could develop into of the best players
not only on the team but in the conference.
One of the key components to last year’s
title run was the arrival at mid-season of
senior Elliott McDowell. With the ability
to score 20 to 25 points off the bench, the
talented reserve averaged 11.7 points per
game and quickly developed into one of the
best players on the team. McDowell, an all-
league preseason pick despite not starting in
2007-08, could see him numbers improve
even more if he transitions to the fi rst string.
Junior forward Jonathan Cook, in his
fourth year with the Bears, gives L-R an
option behind the three-point line and can
either start or come off the bench.
Lenoir-Rhyne has a lot of depth in
the front court as well with the return of
sophomore forwards Nathaniel Shaw, J.P.
Haumann and Paul Goldsmith.
Freshman forward Jeff Thomas is a nice
recruit who combines size and the ability to
shoot the mid-range jumper. Anything junior
center Julius Powell brings will be a plus for
the Bears. The Clemson University transfer
may fi gure prominently into L-R’s plans.
The entire backcourt remains intact and
should only get stronger and deeper.
The team runs through fi fth-year senior
Josh Rudder, who looks to end his career
in impressive style. The two-time All-SAC
honoree plays both point and off guard and
his deft ability and speed has been an asset
for the Bears and a headache for opponents.
Rudder can score (14.0 ppg in 2007-08), pass
(3.8 apg) and hit free throws (80 percent) and
can help carry the team to another title.
Not to be outdone is junior guard Marcus
Hodges. Hodges stepped right into the
starting lineup and didn’t fl inch, averaging
8.2 points per game and hitting 84 percent
of his free throws.
Junior guard Ryan Crawford is an
excellent athlete who can raise eyebrows with
his offensive moves and his ability to pass.
Look for Crawford (4.9 ppg) to score more
this season.
Sophomore Ja’Wan Davis saw a promising
fi rst season derailed because of injury but
should be back at 100 percent this year.
Freshman guard Jon Hathcock is a highly-
touted recruit and fifth-year senior A.J.
Brown provides leadership and could be an
asset off the bench.

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

Thomas Nash was named as the
Head Men’s Basketball Coach at
Mars Hill College on May 6, 2008.
Nash comes to MHC from UNC
Asheville where he has served on
the Bulldogs staff for the past seven
years. For the last four years Nash
has served as the Bulldogs Associate
Head Coach. He has been a big part
of UNC Asheville’s success. During
Nash’s time at UNCA, the men’s
basketball team made the school’s
fi rst NCAA appearance
in 2003. This past sea-
son UNCA set a record
for wins at 23 and was
invited to participate in
the NIT, as the fi rst Big
South team to be invited to the prestigious post-season tourna-
ment. UNCA was twice named Big South Conference Regular
Season Champions during Nash’s time with the Bulldogs, and
won one Big South Tournament Championship.
Prior to his stint at UNC Asheville, Nash had a successful fi ve-
year run as the head basketball coach at Carolina Day School.
He guided the school to back-to-back North Carolina Indepen-
dent Schools Athletic Association State Championships in 2000
and 2001. In the 2000-01 season, his Carolina Day team was
ranked as the top basketball team in Western North Carolina by
the Asheville Citizen-Times at the end of the season. Nash was
named as WNC Coach of the Year by the Citizen-Times for the
1999-2000 season. He led the school to the state’s Final Four in
1999 and had them in the fi nal 16 in 1997 and 1998.
The Asheville native and graduate of Carolina Day School
was a three-sport participant including being a four-year let-
terman on the basketball team. Nash then went on to earn his
Bachelor of Arts at Vanderbilt University in 1995. As a se-
nior at Vanderbilt, Nash worked with the basketball program
and current Charlotte Bobcat Director of Scouting and Ashe-
ville native Buzz Peterson. Nash continued his education by
earning his Master’s in Sports Management from the United
State’s Sports Academy.
Nash is married to former UNC Asheville women’s bas-
ketball player, Marcia Napier. They’ve been married for 10
years and reside in Asheville with their son, Edward, born in
November of 2003.

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

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

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

Brian Good enters his fi rst season
as head coach of the Wingate Uni-
versity Bulldogs.
Most recently, Good spent four
seasons as head men’s basketball
coach at Queens University of
Charlotte. He led the Royals to a 72-
45 overall record, helping Queens
make back-to-back NCAA appear-
ances in his fi nal two seasons. A
member of the ultra-competitive
Conference Carolinas, the Royals
have compiled a 51-
29 league ledger during
Good’s tenure.
During the 2007-08
campaign, the Queens
University of Charlotte
Royals were 21-10 over-
all. In 2006-07, Queens
went 20-10 and lost in
the 2007 NCAA Divi-
sion II East Region quar-
ter-fi nals to eventual
national champion (and
fellow league member)
Barton College.
Prior to his arrival in
the Queen City, Good was the head men’s basketball coach and
associate athletic director at Milwaukee School of Engineering.
He led the Raiders to the 2002-03 Lake Michigan Conference
tournament championship and a trip to the NCAA Division III
post-season tournament.
Good was an assistant coach at the University of South Da-
kota for two seasons, guiding the Coyotes to the 1994 Elite
Eight. During the 1992-93 season, Good was an assistant at
Edgewood (Wis.) College
While a basketball student-athlete at the University of Wis-
consin-Madison, he was a four-year letter winner and Big Ten
Conference free throw champion.
A native of Rossville, Ind., Good received a M.A. degree in
Athletic Administration from the University of South Dakota
in 1995. He earned a B.S. degree in Economics at the Univer-
sity of Wisconsin-Madison in 1993. Good and his wife Mary
have two children: daughter Zoe (8) and son Carter (2).

Wingate University head men’s basketball
coach Brian Good believes his team is ready
for the challenges of a new season. A former
student-athlete at Wisconsin, Good enters his
fi rst season with the Wingate program this
year.
Most recently, Good spent four seasons
as head men’s basketball coach at Queens
University of Charlotte. He led the Royals to
a 72-45 overall record, helping Queens make
back-to-back NCAA appearances in his fi nal
two seasons. Good enters a program with
recent NCAA post-season
success.
Wingate advanced to
the Elite Eight in 2007 and
the fi nal 32 in 2008. The
Bulldogs were the fi rst SAC
men’s basketball team to
participate in an NCAA
Division II Elite Eight
event.
The Bulldogs will miss guard/forward
Sean Barnette and forward/center Bryan
Grier, who both graduated to professional
basketball careers.
Two seniors will give the Bulldogs
exceptional leadership at the point guard
position: Rosco Turner and DeMario Mattox.
“I believe this will be a most interesting
competition,” Good notes. “Both Rosco
and DeMario bring different qualities to the
position.”
Mattox is Wingate’s top returning scorer
from last season. He averaged 7.4 points per
game during the 2007-08 campaign. Turner
led the Bulldogs in assists last year with
127. Mattox was second with 104 helpers.

Jamie Vaughn could potentially provide
assistance at the point guard spot.
Good believes the shooting guard spot
is “up for grabs.” He believes either Turner
or Mattox could play the two position while
the other takes care of the point guard duties.
Good feels this will ease the burden for both
student-athletes. Bulldog junior Larry Staley
will see time at both wing positions.
Two freshmen “have been the most pleasant
surprises of our pre-season workouts,” Good
says. Vaughn and Chase Smith give the
Bulldogs highly skilled backcourt support.
Junior Phil Jacobson and freshmen
Michael Bilal, D.J. Harrison and Ty Eason give
Wingate many options in the backcourt.
At the three position, redshirt junior David
Johnson “has been very good in pre-season
drills,” Good notes. “David can shoot the
ball and he is a good athlete.” In back-to-
back post-season games last year, Johnson
had 14 points against Newberry and 18
points against Mars Hill. Larry Staley “is
big enough and strong enough…we can use
him at both wing positions,” Good adds. Ben
Davis will also see time at the three spot for
the Bulldogs.
In the frontcourt, Good sees two distinct
groups. “We have two seniors and two
freshmen in the post,” Good says. “They
all have different games. It is a bonus for
us…they each bring different attributes to
the table.”
Senior Kenny Villines is the group’s
leader. “Kenny is a very steady player,” Good
notes. “He is a solid rebounder, defender and
scorer.” In 2007-08, Villines averaged 5.4
points per game and 5.0 rebounds per game.
His rebounding average was third on the team
charts behind Barnette and Grier.
Senior Tommy Coles “has been a very
pleasant surprise in the pre-season,” Good
says. “He is shooting the ball very well.”
Freshman Sam Mushman “is a very good
shooter,” Good asserts. “He is as good (a
shooter) as anyone on our team.” Mushman
will give opposing defenses a diffi cult time,
as he has great perimeter range. Classmate
Bradley VanStaalduinen “brings great energy
to our team,” Good says. “Once he gets
comfortable with the pace of the (college)
game, he will make a solid contribution.”

2008-09 Roster
Head Coach Shannon Reid comes
to Brevard after one year as the as-
sistant women’s basketball coach at
the University of Albany, a NCAA
Division I program in Albany, New
York.
While at Albany, Reid was in
charge of academics, scheduling
scouting and recruiting while her
on the court duties included guard
development and defensive strate-
gies and concepts.
Prior to heading north
and coaching at the Uni-
versity of Albany, Reid
spent two seasons at
Clayton State Univer-
sity in Morrow, Ga., where she helped lead the Lakers to the
2007 NCAA Division II Final Four. Clayton State fi nished
29-6 overall in 2006-07 and captured a Peach Belt Confer-
ence championship. The Lakers, who were ranked as high
as fourth nationally, made a second-consecutive trip to the
NCAA Tournament.
Prior to her appointment at Clayton State, Reid was an as-
sistant at the University of South Carolina-Aiken, a Division
II program in the Peach Belt Conference. Reid helped lead
the Pacers to a 19-13 record and an NCAA appearance.
Reid played professionally for the Ladies National League
in Dublin, Ireland from 2003-04. A native of Hudson, N.C.,
Reid earned her bachelor’s degree in sports management
from Pfeiffer University in 2003. Reid, a three-year member

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

2007-08 Statistics
The 2008-’09 Carson-Newman Lady
Eagles basketball team will look to change
their pace under 7th year head coach Dean
Walsh. With a wealth of youth and new
faces, especially at the guard position, C-N
will move to a more “up tempo” style than
in previous seasons.
How the freshmen, as well as a pair of
transfers, mix in with four returning starters
will determine if Carson-Newman can make
a push for the South Atlantic Conference
title. Another key will be
close games. The Lady Ea-
gles lost six games by three
points or less in ’07-’08.
While the Lady Eagles
must replace posts Emily
Mason and Tashea Ledbet-
ter, six of last season’s top
seven scorers return, in-
cluding all of the key con-
tributors at guard.
Junior fi rst-team All-South Atlantic Con-
ference selection Shari Buford will anchor
the C-N post game. The forward and two-
year starter averaged 12 points and seven
boards per game a season ago, and could
benefi t the most from an quicker pace be-
cause of her ability to run the fl oor.
Seniors Ashley Tipton and Lindsay Egg-
leston joins Buford at the forward spots.
Tipton came up three points shy of aver-
aging double fi gures (9.9 ppg.) during her
junior year. The second-team All-South At-
lantic Conference selection is one of the na-
tion’s best three-point shooters, burying 48
percent (71-of-148) of her long-range tries
Shari BufordJunior forward
last season.
Eggleston can post up and face up, and
will pose match-ups problems for bigger de-
fenders. She averaged fi ve points per game
last season, in just over 13 minutes.
Freshman Zoriah Williams will also fac-
tor in. The 5’10 forward will give Walsh an-
other athletic option on the low block.
The Lady Eagles return all three of their
key guards from a season ago, including two
from injury. Senior Angela Volentine and ju-
nior Ashley Kyle are combo guards that are
expected to be full speed after both missed
time with knee injuries last season.
Volentine, who had 32 steals a season ago,
is a do-it-all guard that fi nished the season
averaging 10 points and fi ve boards. Kyle
will move to her natural position at the two
guard, and looks to benefi t from a growing
stronger and quicker in the offseason.
Senior Tykira McDaniel gives the Lady
Eagles a third veteran at the off guard sports.
McDaniel averaged six points and two re-
bounds and led the team with 33steals.
Sophomore Amber Blackwell returns af-
ter appearing in 24 games as a freshman.
She’ll push to take the reins of a wide-open
battle at the point guard spot. Three fresh-
men will fi ght Blackwell for the job.
Sha’Para Johnson and Lundyn Howard
are a pair of quick and athletic freshmen that
will push for the starting spot. Johnson is the
bigger scoring threat, while Howard manag-
es the offense and distributes the ball better.
Allison Whitenack is a third freshman point
guard who will push for time.
Junior college-transfer Liz Stringer will
give the lady Eagles an experienced shoot-
er at the shooting guard. She shot over 50
percent from behind the arc last season at
Cuyahoga C.C. Freshman Megan Hunter
will move to the off guard spot after scoring
over 1,700 points in high school playing the
point. The Lady Eagles also added Tennes-
see Tech-transfer Mandy Mendenhall, who
is expected to have an immediate impact
with her ability to shoot the three, rebound,
slash, and defend.

2007-08 Statistics
Catawba will have to overcome
the loss of four key players from last
season as the Lady Indians look to im-
prove on last season’s seventh-place
fi nish. The losses include the lone
All-South Atlantic Conference for
Catawba over the past two years in
NeKeithia Howard. The four, How-
ard, Cristi Bartlett, Sicilia LoSauro and
Hillary Hampton, com-
bined to start 87 games
last season.
Brittany Higgins is
the top returning scorer.
The senior averaged 9.2
points per game last sea-
son which increased to
10.8 in league contests.
She also pulled down 3.2 rebounds a
game.
Nisha Long and Cameron Clark,
who shared point guard duties, return
to a veteran back court. Long, who
missed some time with an ankle inju-
ry, averaged fi ve points, 2.5 rebounds
and 2.9 assists a contest. Clark tossed
in 4.6 points per game and was sec-
ond on the team with 19 three-point
goals. Kisha Long played in 27 of 28
games and averaged 3.4 points and re-
corded 16 steals. Newcomers to the
backcourt will be red-shirt freshman
Pamela Muldrow and freshman Jolysa
Connor.
The loss of Howard and Bartlett
and a career-ending back injury to Co-
rin Muldrow has left the ladies thin in
the post until the end of the fi rst semes-
ter. Senior Sara Crane, who averaged
2.4 points in limited action last season
with be joined by red-shirt freshman
Dana Hicks in December. Freshmen
Maggie Sullivan and Christina To-
scano will also give some depth in the
CATAWBA INDIANS
post.
Helping fi ll in the void at forward
will be returners Brooke Whitley and
Jennifer Dameron. Whitley made
six starts last season and scored at a
4.6 clip while grabbing 2.9 boards
per game. She also canned 16 three-
pointers. Dameron played in a dozen
games as a true freshman.

2008-09 Roster
Todd Starkey is beginning his
fourth year as Head Women’s Bas-
ketball Coach at Lenoir-Rhyne
College. Hired in August of 2005,
Starkey became the 10th coach in
program history.
Two years ago, the Bears im-
proved by six games from the 2005-
06 season to fi nish 16-12 overall and
9-7 in the South Atlantic Conference,
a mark good for fourth place. In ad-
dition, L-R also landed
two players on the All-
SAC teams. Amber
Holt received fi rst-team
accolades and was
named South Atlantic
Conference Freshman
Of The Year while De-
nise Moore earned second-team honors.
The squad went through some growing pains in his fi rst
season at the helm in 2005-06, fi nishing with a 10-18 mark
with a squad that did not have one single player recruited
under his wing.
Starkey has also been an Assistant Coach for the Bears’
Men’s Basketball Team for two seasons (2002-04), leading
the team to the 2003-04 SAC Regular Season Championship
and subsequent berth in the NCAA Division II Playoffs.
Starkey came to L-R in 2003 after coaching fi ve seasons
as an Assistant for the Men’s Basketball Team at Montreat
College (1998-03) where he helped the Cavaliers earn a berth
in the NAIA National Tournament during the 1999-00 season.
That same year, Montreat improved its win total from seven
to 22 games, the second-best improvement in the nation at
any level.
Starkey, a 1993 graduate of Montreat, played one year of
basketball for the Cavaliers after playing two seasons at Mars
Hill College.
Starkey and his wife, Jodi, reside in Hickory, N.C., and are
the proud parents of four children: Drew, Logan, Mackayla
and Brooke.

SOUTH ATLANTIC CONFERENCE BASKETBALL 2008-09 www.thesac.com
The Lenoir-Rhyne University women’s basketball team looks poised to bounce back this season and return to the upper echelon of the South Atlantic Conference. The Bears (15-13 overall and 5-9 in league play in 2007-08) tied for fifth overall in the standings as they tried to adjust to the premature loss of junior All-SAC center Denise Moore at the start of last school year. In addition to Moore’s return, Lenoir-Rhyne welcomes back all five starters for the second straight season under fourth-year mentor Todd Starkey. L-R is one of two teams in the SAC (conference-champion Tusculum is the other) to place three players on the all-league preseason squads. This team, deep and experienced, has the potential to make a run to the top. Moore’s absence was undoubtedly felt as the team looked to make up for losing a player who averaged 13.9 points and 8.1 rebounds per game two years ago. Junior center Jacquelyn Kremer, who averaged 8.6 points and 3.4 rebounds in 2007-08, put up a valiant effort last season as Moore’s main replacement. Forward Jackie Williams, the lone senior on the squad, is a quiet leader for the Bears who makes up for her scoring (4.1 ppg) with her rebounding (a team-leading 5.6 rpg), defense and overall athleticism.

Junior forward Kristen Fulmer has been one of the Bears’ top reserves the last two years. Fulmer (2.5 ppg and 2.3 rpg) not only gives L-R depth but could challenge for a starting spot. Although she plays forward, sophomore Abby Munn is known for her ability to hit three-pointers (18 in 2008). If Munn can improve in other areas, the Bears have a young player who can make a signifi cant impact. The same could be said for sophomore forward Erin Hanner. L-R is always looking to add depth to the frontcourt and this year is no exception with the addition of freshmen Amber Clark and Mary Covington and sophomore Ashley Pearson, a transfer from Alabama A&M. Lenoir-Rhyne once again has one of the best backcourts in the league headed up by junior guards Amber Holt and Jami Safrit, both preseason All-SAC honorees. Holt, a two-time, fi rst-team all-league selection, led the team in scoring (14.5 ppg) and assists (3.4 apg) last year and the added support this season should only make her better. Safrit continues to shine in all facets of the game, averaging 10.9 points, 4.5 rebounds, 3.4 assists and 2.7 steals in 2007-08. Safrit is one of the unquestioned leaders on the team and there is no denying her importance to the squad. Sophomore guard LaCourtney Rann was a pleasant surprise in her fi rst season on the court for the Bears. Rann fi nished second on the team in points (11.6 ppg). Junior guard Meredith Webster
continues to produce off the bench with her ability to shoot from long range. Leslie Conetta (Sarasota, Fla.) is another junior guard looking to see her playing time improve this year. Two highly-touted recruits – freshmen Whitley Culler and Cameron Sealey – will add to the mix as well.

SOUTH ATLANTIC CONFERENCE BASKETBALL 2008-09 www.thesac.com
Under the guidance of new head coach
Stephanie Smith and led by junior All-South
Atlantic Conference performer Andi Winney,
the 2008-2009 Lincoln Memorial University
women’s basketball team will look to make
marked improvement on last year’s 3-11
conference record.
Stephanie Smith brought in Christian
Papp as her lead assistant. Papp joins the
LMU team after spending the past four years
coaching at both Valparaiso University and,
most recently, Indiana University.
Rounding out Smith’s
staff are Tristan McCray,
who played at Bethune
Cookman , and Dawn
Skelcher, who remains with
the program for her eighth
season.
Smith will rely on junior
forward Andi Winney this
season. Winney, who led
the team in scoring and fi eld goal percentage,
averaged 14 points and 6.7 rebounds per
game while leading the conference in fi eld
goal percentage (66 percent). “Andi has really
impressed me with her work ethic and desire
to be a leader to the team,” says Smith. “Her
ambidexterity is a real advantage for a post
player and our post coach has called her the
best fi nisher he’s worked with. We’d like to
see Andi get to the free throw line more and
up her rebounding stats this year.”
Helping Winney will be returning
sophomore guard Stephanie Wagner. Wagner
was named to the SAC All-Freshman Team
after averaging 9.8 points and shooting 37
percent from the arc.
The Lady Railsplitters will have to replace
the scoring and rebounding of Shawna
Nichols and Heather Benton and will look to
the remainder of the cast to fi ll the holes. Sure
to help is senior guard Kara Harris (11.1 ppg).
Harris started 25 of the Lady Railsplitters’
28 games last year and will be looked to not
only for her scoring punch, but as a defensive
stopper for LMU. Megan Davis (6.7 ppg.
4.5 rpg.), a 6-0 forward also looks to be a
key contributor. “Megan provides us length
when defending on the perimeter. She’s a
competitor and took 21 charges last season.
It’s that type of sacrifi ce that will not only put
Megan into a position to play large minutes,
but help our team be the best they can be.”
Stephanie Smith has to be very excited
about the prospects for success within the
conference, as guard Amberly O’Dell will
be eligible to begin playing after the fi rst
semester. O’Dell, a transfer from Division
I Central Michigan, is a 5-6 sophomore that
was recruited hard by LMU during high
school. “Amberly can knock down the three
and get to the basket, but perhaps her greatest
attribute is her natural confi dence. When
she gets a few games under her belt she will
emerge as a force in the conference.”
Last year, the Lady Railsplitters had only
eight healthy players at many practices.
This year Smith looks to her team’s depth as
a strength. “We’re looking to push the ball
more and associate more excitement with
LMU women’s basketball. My teams have
always been up-tempo,” says Smith.
Among those having recovered from
injury and looking to contribute will be
returning forwards Bonnie DeBusk and Kelly
Youhas, as well as guards Whitney Vannoy,
Sarah Harrison, and Brittney Craney.
Coach Smith brought in several junior
college transfers over the summer that she
expects big things from, as well as signing
two freshman perimeters that will make the
team more athletic. “I’m not used to losing!”
says Smith. “I expect us to work as hard
as any team and to be competitive with the
top teams in the conference this year. We’re
going to improve on our fundamentals and
bring intensity to everything, whether it’s an
offensive possession or a defensive stop. As
far as team play goes, we want to maximize
the number of easy baskets we get in
transition. On defense, I’m big on pressure,
whether it’s with our half-court man-to-man
or pressing full court.”

Jennifer Nance is beginning her
third season as the new head wom-
en’s basketball coach at Mars Hill
College. Her record at MHC is 29-
27.
Nance comes to Mars Hill from
Ashland University where she served
as the top women’s basketball assis-
tant under Sue Ramsey since June
of 2004. During her stint at Ashland,
Nance was involved in all aspects
of the women’s basketball program.
Her responsibilities in-
cluded serving as the
program’s recruiting co-
ordinator, strength and
conditioning coach, pro-
viding on-court instruc-
tion, developing scouting
reports on opposing teams, individual workout development,
summer camp coordinator and maintaining the team’s com-
pliance records in accordance with eligibility rules set forth
by the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA).
While at Ashland, the Eagles won the GLIAC - South regular
season title in both 2005 and 2006. The squad set a new mark
for wins in the GLIAC in 2006 and was a NCAA post-season
participant.
Nance worked at the NCAA before coaching at Ashland.
She served as a staff assistant for Championships from Sep-
tember 2003 until June of 2004.
Nance began her coaching career as a graduate assistant
at Eastern Illinois University in August of 2001 where she
earned her master’s degree in Athletic Administration in May
of 2003. She then moved on to Franklin College in 2004
where she served as an assistant for one year.
Nance played four seasons for the Baldwin-Wallace Col-
lege women’s basketball team. Her squad won three consecu-
tive Ohio Athletic Conference (OAC) championships as well

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

The 2008-2009 Newberry College women’s
basketball team will be competing for their
third South Atlantic Conference championship
in four years and hope to make their fourth
NCAA Tournament appearance in fi ve years.
Last season, Newberry was knocked out
of the SAC tournament by the top seeded
Tusculum Pioneers. This season Newberry
has brought in Coach Sean Page to take the
team back to the top of the SAC.
Page comes to Newberry from Brescia
University where he took a
team that went 1-29 in the
05-06 season to 18-13 in
only two years.
This season’s roster is
full of experienced players
ready to make another run
at a SAC championship.
10 players are returning
to Newberry including
seven seniors, four of whom have NCAA
tournament experience.
In the backcourt, both of last seasons
starters, Janine Ward and Laura Marquardt,
will return to Newberry. Ward is coming off
a stellar year in which she led her team in
assists with 3.4 per game. She also ranked
second on the team in steals (1.6 per game)
and free throw percentage (.813). Last season
Marquardt put up solid numbers by leading
her team in free throw percentage (.830) and
ranked second in blocked shots (18).
The 2008-2009 season will also mark the
return of Monica Alexander, who sat out last
season. During the 06-07 season, Alexander
was third in the SAC in assists with 4.8 per
2007-08 Statistics
game. Alexander also shot 37 percent from
beyond the arc and averaged two steals.
Keena Phillips, Shonquilla Hudson, and
Mashanda Thomas will also be returning to
provide depth at the guard position.
In her fi rst season, Leanne Watson came
off the bench and quickly emerged as one of
Newberry’s best players. Watson ranked third
on her team in points per game (7.2), rebounds
per game (3.9), and blocked shots (5). Her solid
performance all season landed her a spot on the
SAC All-Freshman team.
Newberry fans will also see the return of
Cortney Snowden, who hasn’t played since
the 05-06 season and was an important player
on the 2006 SAC championship team. She
ranked third on the team in rebounds with 5.3
per game and also shot the ball effi ciently with
a .447 fi eld goal percentage. Also returning at
the forward/center position are Anita Bulcher,
Briana Johnson, and Sade Coates.
The scarlet and gray will also be joined by
four new recruits. The recruiting class includes
freshman Ondia Kelleyfrom Villa Rica (Ga.)
HS where she was named MVP and Defensive
Player of the Year in her senior season.
Also new to Newberry is Keisha
Henderson. While attending Blythewood
(S.C.) HS she was a two time Basketball
Coaches Association All-State honoree and
averaged four steals a game her fi nal year.
The third freshman is Amy Browne from
Caloundra St. HS in Australia. Browne was
a four-time All-State selection and was a
member of the All-Australian High School
team that went undefeated during a tour of
the United States in 2007.
Transfer Helen McKinney, a sophomore
from Brescia University, was a key player on
a team that won its conference and advanced
to the NAIA National Tournament. During
the 07-08 season, she averaged 15.5 points
and six rebounds a game.
Coach Page believes this team is ready for
the challenges in front of them and hopes to

Following a 2007-08 campaign that saw
the Tusculum College women’s basketball
team capture its first South Atlantic

the NCAA South Atlantic Regional, Coach

experience and youth.
Stephany Neptune returns to the starting
fi ve for her junior campaign following her

of Kokomo, Ind., Oliver surpassed her own
single-season SAC and program record last

ago. The 5-5 guard concluded the 2007-08
campaign with a team-high 72 steals, also
ranking third in the conference in thefts.

posted the third-best fi eld goal percentage on
the team (.479), and averaged three rebounds
per game.

28 games she played in, averaging 2.8 points
per game with a .480 fi eld goal percentage.

WINGATE BULLDOGS
Photo by Mike Slade
Erica
Crumlin
Wingate University head women’s bas-
ketball coach Barbara Nelson and her Bull-
dogs could not have written a more beau-
tiful script for Nelson’s fi rst season at the
Wingate helm…even if they hired a Holly-
wood script writer.
The Bulldogs advanced to the 2007-08
NCAA Division II Elite Eight as champi-
ons of the South Atlantic Region. Wingate
completed the 2007-08 season as the 10th-
ranked team in the country, according to
the USA Today/ESPN/WBCA Division II
Top 25 Coaches’ Poll. Wingate also won the
Food Lion South Atlantic Conference tour-
nament on the way to the Elite Eight.
Guards Kasey Gillis
and Kate Edwards were
the only seniors on the
2007-08 team. The duo
combined for 24 points per
game and led the Bulldogs
to four straight NCAA ap-
pearances.
Eleven of 14 letter-
winners will return for the
2008-09 campaign as the Bulldogs look to
make another post-season run.
Wingate’s 77.8 points per game last
season put the Bulldogs second on the SAC
scoring charts. On the boards, Wingate was
eighth in the league in rebounding margin.
The Bulldogs won the battle of the boards
only eight times during the 2007-08 season.
Bulldog senior point guard Anna Atkin-
son leads Wingate’s returning players. She
was named the SAC Player of the Year and
SAC Scholar Athlete. She was the MVP of
both the SAC tournament and South Atlantic
Region tournament. Atkinson fi nished in the
top fi ve in the nation in assists (8.3), assist-
to-turnover ratio (3.2) and steals (3.7), while
also leading the team in scoring (14.8).
The 2007-08 NCAA Division II Con-
ference Commissioners Association (CCA)
Female Scholar-Athlete of the Year Award
winner, Atkinson was an ESPN The Maga-
zine Academic All-America® fi rst team se-
lection last year. In addition, she earned third
team Daktronics All-American laurels on the
court. Atkinson was the SAC Athlete of the
Year and the SAC Presidents’ Award winner.
Freshmen Stephanie Whitenack and
Gladney Brown will spell Atkinson at the
point guard position. Whitenack gives the
Bulldogs a viable three-point threat, while
Brown gives Wingate a powerful and strong
presence in the backcourt.
At the shooting guard position, senior
Brittany West and sophomores CC Brooks
and Emily Parrish will battle for time. Whit-
enack will also be in the mix at the two guard
spot. West was third on the team in three-
pointers last season (21), while Brooks hit
six-of-eight from long distance during her
fi rst Bulldog season.
At the three position, Brown and fresh-
man classmate Kurie Washington will give
the Bulldogs an interesting dynamic. Wash-
ington is a McDowell High School product,
the alma mater of senior teammate Anna At-
kinson.
Senior Paige Mincey will also make a
valuable contribution at the three position.
Wingate is deep at the post positions, as
the entire unit returns intact for the 2008-09
season. Junior center Erica Crumlin led the
SAC with 2.65 blocks per game in 2007-08.
Sophomore forward Stefani Shuey averaged
10.6 points per game in the post-season last
year. Classmate Jessy Keitt is one of the top
defenders in the league.
Junior center Stacie Rhodes started 16
games last year; she fi nished second on the
team (to Crumlin) in blocked shots. Senior
Leslie Tucker and junior Sarah Rosser can
mix it up inside and step outside to hit the
three-pointer. Tucker played only eight
games last season due to injury. Freshman
forward Erin Fitzpatrick provides the Bull-
dogs with a solid rebounder in the paint.

Catawba holds off Mars Hill HICKORY, N.C. -- Catawba nearly
saw a 19-point lead disappear in the fi nal
eight minutes, but held on to defeat Mars
Hill 54-52 to claim the championship of
the 2008 Food Loin South Atlantic Confer-
ence men’s basketball tournament on Sun-
day afternoon at the CVCC Multipurpose
Complex. The fourth-seeded Catawba
Indians (19-11) claim the league’s auto-
matic bid into the NCAA II South Atlan-
tic Regional. The sixth-seeded Lions end
their season at 14-16.
The Indians looked in control when
tournament MVP Antonio Houston put
Catawba on top 53-34 on a jumper with
8:14 left, but that would be the fi nal fi eld
goal for the Indians as the Lions would
reel off 18 straight points to close within
53-52 in the fi nal minute.
After Catawba grabbed the game’s
largest lead, Akeen Coakley scored fi ve
straight points for the Lions to pull Mars
Hill within 53-40 with 5:28 left. The Li-
ons converted three straight Catawba turn-
overs into six points to reduce the defi cit
to 53-46 with 4:25 to go.
A free throw by Tony Blake and a steal
and layup by Stoney Polite closed the gap to
53-49 with 3:19 left. A three-point play by
Jordan Skinner brought the Lions within a
point at 53-52 with 38 seconds left. Catawba
would suffer its eighth turnover in the fi nal
fi ve minutes on the ensuing inbounds play,
but Mars Hill failed to cash in.
Donald Rutherford made the fi rst of
two free throws with 27 seconds remain-
ing to give Catawba a 54-52 lead. Mars
Hill called a timeout with eight seconds to
play to set up a fi nal play, but Polite would
lose the ball before getting off a shot and
Catawba took the two-point victory.
Catawba fi nished the game with 31
turnovers, but helped force 26 from the
Lions. The Indians held a 38-24 edge on
the boards.
Houston was the only Catawba player
to reach double fi gures with 14 points.
The sophomore added six rebounds and
fi ve assists. Freshman Dominick Reid,
who joined Houston on the all-tourna-
ment team had eight points and six re-
bounds. Making the all-tournament team
for Mars Hill was Polite (15 points) and
Jamarl Glen (18 points). Wingate’s Sean
Barnette rounded out the team.
Catawba built an early 22-10 following
a three-point play by Rob Fields with 11
minutes left in the fi rst half. The Indians
would go cold over the next fi ve minutes
and Mars Hill clawed within 22-16 before
Houston’s jumper at the 6:13 mark. The
Loins would go nearly four minutes from
there without a point as Catawba moved
ahead 26-16.
Catawba led 32-22 at the break. The
Lions hit on just seven-of-22 (31.8 per-
cent) in the opening half and were one-of-
nine from behind the arc.
The win is the sixth SAC Tourna-
ment title for Catawba in seven trips to
the championship game. The Indians fi rst
loss came last year to Wingate. Catawba
will also be making their fourth regional
appearance in fi ve years.
“For 34 minutes, our defense was as
good as it’s been all year. We were in
charge and then, boom, it was gone. Our
CATAWBA 54, MARS HILL 52
youth kicked in and then we started feeling
sorry for ourselves,” said Catawba coach
Jim Baker. “You talk about swings in mo-
mentum, well that was about as good a
swing in all of college basketball. We are
glad, tickled to win, but a little relieved,
too.”
“We were going for the win and shoot
the three,” Mars Hill coach Tery Rogers
said of the last play. “Because of the over-
time game last night and the time change,
we were pretty well spent. I don’t know
if we had enough for another overtime
game.”

2008 MEN’S TOURNAMENT REVIEW
87
SOUTH ATLANTIC CONFERENCE BASKETBALL 2008-09 www.thesac.com
HICKORY, N.C. -- Senior guard Kas-
ey Gillis drained two free throws with 10
seconds remaining to give the Wingate
University women’s basketball team a
76-74 victory over the Tusculum College
Pioneers in the 2008 Food Lion South At-
lantic Conference championship game at
the Catawba Valley Community College
Multipurpose Complex. The Bulldogs
claim their sixth Food Lion SAC tourna-
ment title.
Wingate improves to 23-7 overall on
the year, while winning its eighth straight
game. The Bulldogs secure a bid to the
NCAA Division II tournament. The TC
Pioneers fall to 26-4 overall, as Tusculum
sees an 11-game winning streak end Sun-
day.
Bulldog senior guard Kate Edwards
led the way with 18 points for the Bull-
dogs, going fi ve-of-six from beyond the
arc. Freshman forward Stefani Shuey
added a career-high 15 points and 10 re-
bounds for her fi rst career double-double.
Sophomore center Erica Crumlin also
posted a double-double with 13 points and
10 rebounds. Crumlin blocked three shots,
including a crucial rejection in the waning
moments.
Wingate junior point guard Anna At-
kinson added 13 points and seven assists.
The 2008 SAC Player of the Year, Atkin-
son was named the MVP of the tourna-
ment. Edwards was also named to the all-
tournament team.
Tusculum junior guard Ashli Oliver led
the Pioneers with a game-high 22 points,
while hitting six-of-11 three point attempts.
TC junior guard Nikki Van Dine added 17
points and eight rebounds. Sophomore
forward Stephany Neptune had 14 points
and 12 rebounds. Oliver and TC freshman
point guard Jasmine Gunn earned all-tour-
nament honors, along with Newberry Col-
lege senior forward Tonique Frasier.
Ashli Oliver drained a three to give
Tusculum a 74-71 lead at the 1:12 mark.
Wingate responded, getting a three from
Atkinson to tie the game with 52 seconds
remaining. The Bulldogs then forced a
turnover, setting up Gillis to hit the game-
winners.
Tusculum had two close-range shots
in the last 10 seconds, but neither con-
nected. Crumlin blocked the second try to
preserve the Bulldog victory.
The Bulldogs were 28-of-64 (43.8
percent) from the fi eld, while going eight-
of-12 from beyond the arc (66.7 percent).
Tusculum was 24-of-65 (36.9 percent)
from the fl oor, while hitting nine-of-27
three point attempts (33.3 percent). The
Pioneers were 17-of-18 (94.4 percent)
from the free throw stripe, while the Bull-
dogs were 12-for-15 (80 percent).
Wingate held a 42-36 rebounding ad-
vantage, thanks in large part to double-
digit rebounds by Crumlin and Shuey. The
Bulldogs also held a 34-20 edge in points
in the paint and a 17-8 advantage in fast-
break points.
“Today’s game could have gone either
way. I think our team’s are so similar, it
is a hard matchup for each team,” said
Wingate coach Barbara Nelson.
“We weren’t going to panic,” Nelson
said about the fi nal minute of the game. “A
minute and eight seconds is a long time.
We usually run that play for Kate Edwards,
and everybody knows it, so it may have
confused them that we had Anna Atkinson
running it. Early in the game, she (Atkin-
son) might have missed it, but in crunch
time, she wants the ball in her hands.”
“It was a great college basketball game.
It was a pretty fun game to watch. I’ll be
glad when it airs to 40 million viewers be-
cause we represented our school and our
conference well,” said Tusculum coach
Missy Tiber. “Our kids are extremely dis-
appointed right now. But we played this
hard in a championship game and didn’t
shoot well, so I think we’ll be in good
shape for next week.”
