FROM THE PRESIDENTYou’re going to enjoy watching this team!

Having been with them at prac-tice and having spent time with them off the field, I can tell you they are a cohesive group. You’ll hear them talk about it when they say, “We are one.”

We are excited to be playing another season of soccer with high expectations for our well respected program. This promises to be a strong year for the Lady Tigers under Head Coach Paul Grant.

Although the media guide gives facts and figures about the women who play and the men who coach, we also hope that you’ll be able to see their hearts as they play the game. We hope you’ll notice their character as well as their competitive drive. And we hope that you know they are as committed to academic pursuits as they are to winning on the field.

At East Texas Baptist University our student-athletes are student-athletes. These women are not playing for a scholarship, but for the love of the game.

And, we play soccer because we believe it con-tributes to the educational mission of the University. These students are learning not just in the classrooms, but in team meetings, through diligent practice, by lifting weights and conditioning their bodies, in one-on-one conversations with coaches and fellow play-ers, and on the field.

As a University, we’re also committed to the truth found in Scripture that reminds us, “physical training is of some value, but godliness has value for all things, holding promise for both the present life and the life to come” 1 Timothy 4:3. This soccer team is being fit for success in this life and the life to come. That, to me, is a good reason to cheer them on.

GO TIGERS!

ETBU ATHLETICS PHILOSOPHYThe East Texas Baptist University Intercollegiate Athletics Program func-tions as an integral part of the total education experience. The Intercol-legiate Athletics Program emphasizes academics as the highest priority in the life of student-athletes.

Recognizing that students have needs and interests which go beyond the scope of academic life, the University is committed to providing an Intercollegiate Athletics Program consistent with those needs and inter-ests. Recognizing the positive impact of athletics participation on student development, as articulated in the University’s Mission Statement, the Athletics Program seeks to develop wellness, leadership and Christian character.

Intercollegiate Athletics strives to establish and maintain an environment that values cultural diversity and gender equity among the student-athlete and athletics staff.

This allows the student-ath-lete to grow physically, emotionally, socially, spiritually and intellectually. During the process, the University is vigilant in monitoring the overall health and well-being of its student-athletes.

East Texas Baptist University adheres to the principles of fair play and amateur athletic competition as defined by NCAA Division III legislation. The University also holds its coaches, administrators and student-athletes to the highest standards of sportsmanship and ethical conduct.

Academicinstruction at East Texas BaptistUniversity began in 1917 with theinaugural session of a two-year institution known as College of Marshall... The campaign to launch the col-lege had begun in 1911 and was led by William Thomas Tardy, pastor of Marshall’s First Baptist Church. Tardy negotiated the purchase of 100 acres of the original K. M. Van Zandt family plantation for $25,000. Keeping 50 of the 100 acres on Van Zandt Hill in northwest Marshall, the college subdi-vided and sold the remaining property. Marshall’s citizens subscribed another $70,000, and the Baptist General Convention of Texas assumed control of the college, appropriating $40,000 for buildings and furnishings. The trustees applied for and received a charter from the State of Texas in 1912, and Thurman C. Gardner, an early day Baptist Training Union leader, became the first president in 1913.

For the first building, Marshall Hall, contrac-tors broke ground on July 5, 1915. Of neoclassical architecture and completed in 1916, Marshall Hall crowned the highest point in Harrison County. The robust building was a self-contained educational

facility with a ground floor gymnasium, main floor administrative offices, laboratories, and library, third floor classrooms, and a chapel/theatre on the top floor.

The first freshman class registered in 1917 under President Henry Eugene Watters (1916-1918). The college boasted a teaching faculty of nine members. By the academic year 1918-19, some 300 students were enrolled in either a junior college or an academy curriculum. With World War I raging, a student cavalry unit drilled regularly on the college grounds.

New dormitories soon encircled the clas-sic campus quadrangle. In 1924, Dr. Franklin S. Groner, the Secretary of the Baptist General Convention of Texas, conveyed the Baptists’ commitment to assume the college debt if the Marshall Chamber of Commerce would supply $12,500 annu-ally for five years, enabling it to remain open.

Leading the college during the trying days of The Great Depression, Dr. Franklin Groner (1928-42) assumed the presidency and instituted a per-manent endow-

ment program. In 1935, an additional 43 acres were purchased, including the land and buildings of the St. Joseph’s Boys Industrial Orphanage, some of which was converted to men’s housing. In 1938, Baptist lay-man and builder Fred Hale broke ground for Laura Groner Hall, a modern residence hall for women. A reduced replica of Mt. Vernon, the stunning structure stood complete in 1940, its austere construction hav-ing cost only $10,500.

World War II robbed the campus of its men and resources. By 1943, only 137 students remained. In 1944, the trustees, making perhaps the most important decision in the institution’s history, asked the Baptist General Convention of Texas to elevate the college to four-year status and to change the name to East Texas Baptist College.

A former pastor of First Baptist Church, Midland, Texas, Dr. Harvey Daniel Bruce (1942-1960), the college’s ninth president, oversaw a vigor-ous postwar enrollment and building boom. Veterans arrived on campus, many bringing their families, and enrollment briefly surpassed 800. Prefabricated war surplus family housing was erected on the campus perimeter.

The college added Scarborough Chapel in 1948, which was built in the neo-Gothic style. Also added were Feagin Hall, a new men’s residence facility; a cafeteria and student center; and additions to the women’s residence hall, which was renamed for Merle Bruce, wife of the college president. Two ornate, neo-classical buildings were added in the 1950s, Sanderson Hall (now Craig Hall) to house the laboratory sciences departments, and Harvey Daniel Bruce Hall as the new library/administrative com-plex. Keys Gymnasium was built in 1960. In 1961 a new women’s residence hall, named after Evelyn Linebery, with its long portico and roomy plantation-

EAST TEXAS BAPTIST UNIVERSITYstyle architecture,

was completed.Dr. Bruce labored

to establish a liberal arts tradition, along with strong degree programs in Bible and religion. His administration’s crown-ing achievement came in 1957 when the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools granted accreditation to East Texas Baptist College.

Under Dr. Howard C. Bennett as president (1960-76), the academic program established endur-ing credibility. Dr. Bennett, the former pastor of First Baptist Church, Kilgore, oversaw construction of the new Howard C. Bennett Student Center in 1973.

Dr. Jerry Dawson (1976-85), who had been Graduate Dean at Southwest Texas State University, became the first professional educator to lead the college. By 1982, the postwar “baby boom” peaked and enrollment stood at 920 students. A spacious new president’s home replaced the stately residence that Drs. Bruce and Bennett had occupied. After the opening of the Mamye Jarrett Library in 1979, H. D. Bruce Hall became available for the Religion and Teacher Education departments. Married students occupied several new brick housing units. Charles Fry Hall for Men was opened. As age claimed some of the original college buildings, the older men’s dor-mitory, buildings of the old orphanage, and various frame and prefabricated structures were dismantled during the 1970s and 1980s.

In 1984 the University Charter revision changed the institutional name to East Texas Baptist University. However, by 1985, enrollment gains had eroded. During the interim presidency of Dr. Harvey Lewis (1985-86), the University met various deferred maintenance and operating needs.

The former president of two other Baptist institutions from

1961 to 1986, Dr. Robert Craig (1986-1992) launched a build-

ing program of unprecedented proportions, including the Fred Hale Business Building in 1988-89. Other subsequent construction projects were the Jenna Guest Music Building, the Louise Rogers Spiritual Life Center, now known as the Ornelas Spiritual Life Center; major additions to the Bennett Student Center, construction of the Clifford Nelson Murphy Science Hall, and the Mabee Housing Complex.

The untimely death of Dr. Craig in March 1992, only two months prior to his announced retirement, was followed by the leadership of Dr. Bob

E. Riley (1992-2009), who had been President of the Howard County Junior College District in Big Spring, Texas. Under Dr. Riley, the University experienced record student enrollments.

The campus continued to develop under President Riley’s leadership with the 1995 completion of the Dean Healthplex and Ornelas Gymnasium. Fall 1996 found the opening of The Joseph and Louise Ornelas Residential Complex and the renovation of Marshall Hall, which was completed in 1997. Meadows Hall, which houses the Murphy Instructional Technology Center and the Department of Mathematics was reno-vated and occupied begin-

ning with the fall semester of 1999. The University Apartments opened in fall 2002, and the renovation of Scarborough Chapel into Scarborough Hall was complete in January 2004.

Dr. Riley completed his 17th year at ETBU in 2008-09 after having announced his retire-ment in May of 2008. Dr. Dub Oliver was named President-elect of ETBU in the fall of 2008 and assumed the office offi-cially on June 1, 2009.

As the University seeks to streamline academic plan-ning and to con-tinue development of its academic and co-curricular programs, the task remains, as always, to affirm and focus the ETBU mission, to see God active in all its parts, and to sustain faithfully the ethical, spiri-tual, and intellectual foundations of a truly Christian liberal arts education.

Paul Grant enters his third season as head coach of the ETBU women’s soccer program in 2009. Over the first two sea-sons Grant has presided over a rebuilding program with the Lady Tigers, taking over a young team two weeks before fall practice started in 2007 that still serves as the

starting point of the rebuilding stage. Coming off a four-win season that first year, Grant’s second Lady Tiger squad improved to a 7-10-0 finish last season that saw ETBU nearly squeeze into the American Southwest Conference championship tournament, missing the postseason with a loss on the final day of the regular season. Still, Grant’s team managed to nearly double its previous year’s win total despite starting as many as seven freshmen at any given time throughout the season. Grant was named head coach of the women’s soccer program on Aug. 2, 2007 -- less than two weeks before the Lady Tigers were sched-uled to report for 2007 preseason workouts. He is just the third head coach in the history of the program, which began in 1999. Trey Carlile, the program’s all-time winningest coach, resigned in late July of ‘07 to pursue another business opportunity. Grant’s resume as a coach at the high school level is indeed impressive. He spent the previous nine seasons at All Saints Episcopal School in Tyler, building both the boys and girls soccer programs into state powerhouses at the TAPPS level. With the boys program as head coach from 1999-2005, Grant led All Saints to two state championships and five consecutive district championships. Following the 2005 season, Grant took on another challenge -- starting and building the girls soccer program. He wasted little time, as All Saints won back-to-back state championships the last two seasons -- including a 17-0 run in the 2007 high school season. In 2005, Grant was named the Tyler Telegraph All-East Texas Coach of the Year as well as being named TAPPS Women’s Soccer Coach of the Year the last two sea-sons. He was TAPPS Men’s Coach of the Year in 2002, 2003 and 2004.

While at All Saints, Grant also served as girls softball coach in 2006 and was also an assistant boys and girls golf coach from 1999-2007. He was also the school’s Physical Education Coordinator. From 2004-07, Grant also served as a volunteer assistant soccer coach at Tyler Junior College, where he worked primarily with goal-keepers and also was a recruiter. From 1998-2007, Grant was also club director for East Texas Spirit Soccer Club, where he coached both boys and girls teams, organized tournament travel and prepared budgets. Grant has also been an experienced camp leader, running a Kicks for Kids camp from 2000-02 and working the SMU Soccer Camp from 1996-2000. He also served as an Olympic Development Program Goal-keeper Coach in 2001 as well as serving as All Saints Adventure Camp Director in 2002. Grant has also worked as a soccer referee, earning UIL Referee of the Year and Region II Referee of the Year honors in 1996. He holds a United States Soccer Federation “D” State Badge as well as a National Soccer College Association of America Regional Diploma. Grant played semi-pro soccer with the Lone Star Alliance from 1991-93 and also was a member of the Texas A&I Soccer Club from 1991-93. Grant earned a Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology from Stephen F. Austin State University in 1999. His wife, Meredith, is an assistant soccer coach and head softball coach at Lon Morris College in Jackson-ville, Texas.

CORNISH FIELD

East Texas Baptist University dedicated the Cornish Soccer Field on Friday, August 31, 2007. The dedication ceremony was held before the Lady Tiger soccer match with Hendrix College. “It has been my privilege to serve on the ETBU Board of Trustees for the last several years and as Vice Chairman for the past two years,” said Harold Cornish. “My wife, Joyce, and I are honored to be closely associated with ETBU’s fine faculty, staff , and students. It is a very special honor for us to have the recently upgraded soccer field to bear our name.” Harold and Joyce Cornish of Marshall, donated the funds which allowed the University to revamp

the facility. The lighted field, built in 2000, is located on the north edge of the campus and is the home of the ETBU soccer teams. The improvement to the facility included instal-lation of permanent bleachers, concrete walkways, a retaining wall that will allow fans to bring their own lawn chairs and enjoy the games, and a wrought iron decorative fence on the south side of the field as well as updated fencing around the entire field. The entrance is bricked with a decorative archway bearing the name of the donor. Opened in 2002, the facility is accessible by a road -- Baker Boulevard, courtesy of Mr. and Mrs. Ed Baker -- that runs down the west side of Ornelas

Stadium on the north end of campus. The soccer field runs east to west with bleachers to the south side of the field. The north side is used for team benches and scorers table. A platform over the scorers table is used for video. A large soccer scoreboard sits at the east end of the complex. Lights were added to the facility in the fall of 2005. The lights were purchased with a gift in honor of former Lady Tiger Brooke Adair, a 2000-03 four-year letterwinner at ETBU.

ETBU ATHLETICS

Kent ReevesDIRECTOR OF ATHLETICSB.S.E., John Brown UniversityM.S.E., Arkansas State University

Kent Reeves completed his 12th year as full-time athletic director at East Texas Baptist University in 2008-09. Since stepping down as the all-time winningest coach in Lady Tiger basketball in 1997 to become full-time AD, Reeves has guided ETBU’s transformation from NAIA

and NCAA Division II status to full membership within NCAA Division III. Under his watch, the program has ballooned to 10 varsity sports from the five that existed when he became athletic director on June 1, 1997. “We’ve added football, men’s and women’s soccer, softball and men’s cross country, and we’re looking to add men’s and women’s tennis,” says Reeves when looking back over his first decade as athletic director. “I’d say another one of hte real positive things I’m proud we’ve been able to accomplish is that we have also built some first-class athletic facilities as well as making nice upgrades to our exist-ing facilities.” Reeves joined the ETBU coaching staff in 1987 as the head coach for women’s basketball. Taking over a program that was 10 years old at the time, Reeves quickly built an NAIA national title contender that averaged over 20 wins per season in his decade on the bench. In his 10 seasons as head women’s basket-ball coach, Reeves posted 206 wins and his teams won five Big State Conference championships and made nine postseason appearances. He stepped down following the 1996-97 season to become the university’s full-time athletic director while also taking on another challenge. As part of the university’s expansion of the athletic program, Reeves agreed to also become the head coach of a softball program that would begin play in the spring of 1998 as a member of the Heart of Texas Conference. His first recruiting class produced an eventual six All-Americans over the next four years, and Reeves piled up 83 wins in three full seasons as head softball coach. In his third season, in 2000, the Lady Tigers won the first American Southwest Conference championship in the history of ETBU athletics since the university had become a member of the ASC and Division III in 1998. Following that season, Reeves gave up coaching to focus on his athletic director duties. Football was added in the fall of 2000, along with men’s and cross country, giving ETBU 10 varsity athletic sports. When Reeves arrived at ETBU in 1987 as women’s basketball coach, only three programs -- men’s and women’s basketball, and baseball -- existed on campus. But in his first four years as athletic director, the university had added soft-ball, women’s soccer, men’s and women’s cross country and football. Reeves went back into coaching in 2004, when he had to step in and take over the softball program once more due to a mid-year coaching change. Taking over a senior-laden program that had won the ASC championship every year since he’d left, Reeves coached the Lady Tigers to a school-record 41 wins as well as helping ETBU attain its first-ever No. 1 national ranking in any sport. He also guided the Lady Tigers to a fifth straight conference championship that season. He immediately stepped down again following that season, but came back to take over the program for a third time in the summer of 2005. After coaching the softball team in 2006 and 2007, Reeves once again took off his coaching hat to assume athletic director-only duties. However, in his six total seasons in the dugout, Reeves compiled a 183-84-1 mark and is now the university’s all-time winningest coach in two different sports. Reeves is also very active in the Marshall community, serving vice presi-dent of the Marshall Lions Club as well as serving as a deacon at Central Baptist Church. In his time away from the office, he enjoys playing golf, fishing and work-ing in his yard. Reeves received his Bachelor of Science in Education from John Brown University and also holds a Master of Science in Education from Arkansas State University. Kent and his wife, Mary Beth, have two daughters, Kendra and Taylor. Taylor is a sophomore at Baylor University, while Kendra is married to Austin Skipworth.

Marshall“A Texas Treasure”

East Texas Bap�st University is located in Marshall, Texas, an historic city of 25,000 nestled in the scenic piney woods of East Texas. It is part of a larger met-ropolitan area of Longview, Texas, and Shreveport, Louisiana, and is located 150 miles east of Dallas, on Interstate 20. Marshall is in the center of a recrea�onal and tourist region, and is near the Caddo Lake recrea�onal area.

The city itself was founded in 1841, and by 1850, it was the seventh-largest city in Texas. A�er the 1860 census, Marshall had risen to fourth largest in the state, in the most prosperous county in Texas. A�er the Civil War, the city became known as “Gateway to Texas,” when the Texas and Pacific Railroad provided transcon�nental railway service to the west.

Marshall’s renaissance was due largely to the vast expansion of the T & P opera�ons which brought an enormous influx of new se�lers and railroad employees, including many skilled cra�smen and ar�sans for the railroad’s sprawling shops.

The 1901 Harrison County Courthouse is the third government structure to occupy the square of land donated in 1841 for a “Temple of Jus�ce” by Marshall founder Peter Whetstone.

Marshall is surrounded by natural beauty, just minutes away from historic Caddo Lake and the majes�c Lake O’ The Pines. The city is also home to three major fes�vals annually -- Stagecoach Days, held the third weekend in May; FireAnt Fes�val, held the second weekend in October; and the world-famous Wonderland of Lights, which is held from Thanksgiving through New Year’s Day.

For more informa�on about Marshall and what the city has to offer, check out the Marshall Cham-ber of Commerce website at www.marshall-chamber.com.
