McGinnis’Coaching Philosophy

“Athletics is one of the greatest ways to prepare our young people for life. So, in a way, I feel responsible for trying to help these young athletes take their first steps into the “real world.” To be successful in athletics, an athlete must work hard, be focused on what their goals are, be com-mitted and be willing to work with others.

My philosophy is very simple and easy to comprehend. The players understand from the first day on campus that they will always give 110% in whatever they do, whether it is in the class-room or on the field. They will always strive to be a better softball player and person than they were the day before. They will respect their teammates, coaches and teachers. And, they will be “winners” in everything they do.

Our softball program will always strive to represent JSU in a positive way. I feel that when you have a team full of players who strive for excellence, you can’t help having a winning season.”

University Field A Renovated Home For JSU Softball

The Gamecocks upgraded their long-time home before the 2013 season, when the old grandstands at University Field were torn down to make way for a new state-of-the-art press box with suites and radio/tv booths and a 2,000-seat facility that features chairback seating behind home plate.

JSU’s home since a Feb. 15, 1996 double-header against Tennessee State, the University Field renovations came full circle before the 2014 season, when the old dugouts that served as the home of the Gamecock baseball and softball teams for years were torn down and new sunken dugouts with restrooms and a dressing facility for the Gamecocks were installed, making University Field one of the best Division I softball facilities in the Southeast.

University Field A Renovated Home For JSU Softball

During the 2009 season, the Gamecocks added a state-of-the-art video scoreboard just beyond the left field wall. The new scoreboard was constructed in memory of former Gamecock great Tera Ross, who was tragically killed in a car accident in 2003.

The 2014 season saw the Gamecocks move out of their former dressing room in Kennamer Hall into their new locker room at University Field. The Gamecocks now dress in the facility that opens into their home dugout. The new building, completed as part of phase II of the University Field upgrade, houses a locker room, restrooms and showers and a laundry facil-ity. The Gamecocks will add wall graphics in the building during the 2014 season and will have their new locker room completed during the year.

JSU Head CoaCH

Jana McGinnis has developed a softball program at Jacksonville State University that is second to none. She places integrity, success and tradition at the heart of each player and doesn’t stop there.

In McGinnis’ 22nd season at the helm of the Gamecocks, their head-first dive into the Ohio Valley Conference has resulted in a quick rise to the top. In fact, in their 10 seasons in the OVC, the Gamecocks have won over 70 percent of their games, including almost 80 percent of their conference matchups.

Her Gamecocks are coming off the 2014 OVC Regular Season title and the ninth 40-win season in her tenure. The 40-15 recard also pushed McGinnis over the 700 wins mark for her career and sawher garner another OVC Coach of the Year honor.

After a season that saw them finish as the No. 6 seed in the 2013 OVC Tournament, the Gamecocks did what they’ve done consistently in the postseason, win. They rolled through the Conference Tournament and into the NCAA Tuscaloosa Regional, Jax State’s sixth NCAA Appearance and the fifth in a six-season run.

Over the past several years, McGinnis has seen the hard work she and longtime assistants Mark Wisener and Julie Boland pay off on the national level. In 2008, she took the program one step higher on the national scene after rolling into the NCAA Regionals, where the Gamecocks earned two wins over Florida State before falling to Alabama in the regional title game on ESPN2.

They climbed another rung of the ladder in 2009, ousting James Madison, Nebraska and Tennessee to claim the NCAA Knoxville Regional crown and advance to the NCAA’s Tuscaloosa Super Regional. The most deco-rated season in JSU’s Division I athletics history was a milestone year not only for JSU, but also the Ohio Valley Conference. It was the OVC’s first regional crown and the deepest any team in the league’s history has advanced into the national tournament.

After a second-place finish in the OVC in 2011, JSU’s seventh-straight campaign in which it finished in the league’s top two, the Gamecocks claimed their fourth-straight trip to the NCAA’s by winning the OVC Tourney in Charleston, Ill. They eliminated Illinois-Chicago before falling to host Louisville in the semifinals of the Louisville Regional.

In 2010, the Gamecocks swept through the OVC Tournament in Martin, Tenn., to advance to the NCAA Atlanta Regional, JSU’s third-straight NCAA appearance.

The 2009 title was McGinnis’ third in five seasons, a run that was set up by her 2005 Gamecocks. They rolled through the league schedule with a 22-4 record and won their last 16 regular-season games to win the school’s first outright league crown since 1997 and convince her peers to elect her the 2005 OVC Coach of the Year. McGinnis’ squad followed that up with the school’s fourth-straight 40-win season in 2006 with a 43-15 mark and a 21-5 league record that placed them second in the standings.

After another in 2009, she has now been named the OVC’s Coach of the Year three times (2005, 2008, 2009) to go along with her 1996 Trans America Athletic Conference Coach of the Year honor.

During her tenure at JSU, McGinnis has accumulated an overall record of 726-411 (.639). Her accomplishments are plentiful, including the 2009 OVC regular season title and the school’s first at-large berth in the NCAA Tournament, as well as its first trip to the Super Regionals. Her 2009 squad also made its first appearance in the national polls, finishing the year ranked as high as No. 21 nationally. She also boasts OVC regular season

crowns in 2005, 2008 and 2014, as well as OVC Tourney Championships and automatic NCAA appearances in 2008, 2010, 2011 and 2013. Her Gamecocks won the Atlantic Sun Tournament Title and a berth in the NCAA Regional Tournament in 1996. In her early years, she guided JSU to back-to-back A-Sun Western Division Conference titles in 1996 and 1997. She, with the help of long-time assistant coaches Mark Wisener and Julie Boland, has led the Gamecocks to 17 consecutive trips to the Conference Tournament and nine 40-win seasons, including a streak of four straight from 2003-2006.

In just 11 seasons in the OVC, JSU has won 200 of its 273 (.733) confer-ence games and six league titles while placing 62 players on the all-confer-ence squads. Her players have been dominant against their peers. Daniela Pappano was named the 2006 OVC Player of the Year, while JSU also swept the 2005 Player and Pitcher of the Year honors, thanks to outstand-ing efforts from outfielder Maigin Alexander and pitcher Carly Kellam. Pitcher Ashley Eliasson was named the league’s Freshman of the Year in 2008 before the 2009 campaign saw Nikki Prier and Karla Pittman earn the OVC’s Player and Pitcher of the Year awards, respectively. In 2011, pitcher Tiffany Harbin became the first Gamecock to earn OVC Freshman of the Year honors and she then won OVC Pitcher of the Year honors in 2014, giving the Gamecocks another sweep with Sara Borders claiming Player of the Year.

Since 2002, the Gamecocks have attracted regional attention, having been ranked in the South Region poll several times.

McGinnis has coached 99 All-Conference and All-Freshman team mem-bers and nine Players of the Year, including Ann Shelton in the A-Sun in 1996.

McGinnis is no stranger to winning, outside and between the lines. A 1991 graduate of JSU, McGinnis was a two-time All-Gulf South Conference guard in basketball. She helped the Gamecocks to a 98-22 record during her four-year playing career, and, in 1991, she played a key role leading JSU to a GSC Championship and the NCAA Division II South Region title.

McGinnis still holds the JSU career record for assists with 603, as well as the single-season record with 204. Following her playing career, she and her twin sister Dana Austin, formerly the JSU women’s basket-ball head coach, became the only players in JSU women’s basketball history to have their numbers retired.

After her “bright” career as a player, McGinnis began her career in coaching as a graduate assistant under women’s basketball coach Tony Mabry during the 1991-92 season.

The following year, she accepted her first head coaching job as the girls basketball coach at Cherokee County High School, where she led the Lady Warriors to the ‘93 Class 4A state championship.

Mark Wisener begins his 19th season as the Gamecocks’ assistant softball coach, where his energy and efforts toward the JSU program have added to the success the Gamecocks have seen in the past 18 years.

In 18 seasons as a full-time assistant, he has helped JSU to an overall record of 630-239, including four OVC regular season titles, four OVC Tournament crowns and five trips to the NCAA Tournament in the past seven years and a berth in the 2009 Super Regionals.

Wisener’s duties have steadily increased over the time he has been at JSU. His primary job is the capacity of pitching coach, but he also works as a hitting coach and has the “final word” before the batter steps up to the plate. Finally, he schedules and oversees the team workouts and is a key in the recruiting process for the Gamecocks.

As the Gamecocks’ pitch-ing coach, he has coached five conference Pitchers of the Year in Ann Shelton (1996 TAAC Player of the Year), Carly Kellam (2005 OVC Pitcher of the Year),

Ashley Eliasson (2008 OVC Pitcher of the Year), Karla Pittman (2009 OVC Pitcher of the Year) and Tiffany Harbin (2014 OVC Pitcher of the Year).

Wisener provides the Gamecocks and head coach Jana McGinnis with what they feel is the perfect fit to keep them competitive on what is a difficult recruiting trail.

“It takes a special personality to work with female athletes,” McGinnis said. “Coach Wisener’s sister and I are best friends, so I have known him for a long time. I trust him tremendously, and we work well together. He has a great knowledge of the game and I owe so much of our success to him.”

The McGinnis-Wisener relationship, one that has brought unprecedented success to JSU, began in McGinnis’ playing days on the JSU basketball team, where she was a teammate of Wisener’s sister, Robbie.

Wisener was a standout baseball player at Arab High School, starting all four years at shortstop and pitcher on the varsity team. As a senior, he helped

his team advance to the second round of the Alabama High School All-Stars Tournament.

After graduating in 1989, Wisener went on to play at Snead State, where he started every game of his two-year career and was a Junior College All-Star.

In 1992, Wisener left the playing field and transferred to JSU, where he earned his Bachelor of Science Degree in Computer Information Systems in the summer of 1996.

“Mark has been very instrumental in the success of this program,” McGinnis added. “To have a good program, it is a must that you have a dedicated and loyal assistant. We have a great relationship and have the same goals in mind for JSU softball. We are very lucky to have him at this university.”

Wisener is married to the former Lynne Scott. Lynne played softball at JSU from 1991-93, when she played second base and pitched for the Gamecocks. They have a son, Jake, and a daughter, Kacie.

AssistAnt CoACh Julie Boland

Julie Boland begins her 14th year as an assistant coach on the softball staff, but her involvement and dedication to Jacksonville State goes back more than that decade.

Boland has seen great success from the dugout of her alma mater, helping Jana McGinnis to four Ohio Valley Conference crowns, four OVC Tournament titles, five trips to the NCAA Regionals in a six-year stretch and the school’s first-ever trip to the NCAA Super Regionals in 2009.Prior to being hired as a full-time assistant, Boland was a student assistant and gradu-ate assistant coach dating back to the 2001 and 2002 seasons. Over the years, JSU head coach Jana McGinnis has placed more and more responsibility on Boland. She serves as the recruiting coordinator for the Gamecocks, which includes sending mail-outs, organizing recruiting calls and prospective student-athlete visits. Boland also has other administrative duties to go along with her on-field coaching duties, which are emphasized on the hitters and middle infield.

“I love being at JSU,” Boland said. “I learn something new everyday from the coach-ing staff and players. I wouldn’t want to be anywhere else right now.”A former JSU player, Boland put her mark on the Gamecock record book. She is seventh in all-time hits with 198, 16th in doubles with 26, 18th in homeruns with 10, ninth in runs batted in with 100 and sixth in stolen bases with 26. Boland is also in the top five on JSU’s all-time lists in runs scored with 142 (fifth) and at-bats with 627 (sixth). She is also 16th on Jax State’s single-season runs list with 42. Boland graduated in 2002 with an Education Degree. She has since received her Master’s Degree in Counseling from JSU.

Dr. William A. Meehan begins his 16th year as President at Jacksonville State University in 2014-15, but his association with the University dates back to when he

enrolled as a first-time freshman in 1968.

Dr. Meehan completed the Bachelor of Science in Biology in 1972 and began a career in education that same year. He earned the Master’s of Science degree in Biology at Jacksonville State University in December of 1976 and returned in January 1977 to serve as an instructor in the Department of Biology. He com-pleted a Doctorate of Education in the field of higher education administration from the University of Alabama and began the role of President on July 1, 1999.

Since 1977, Dr. Meehan has served in numerous administra-tive and teaching positions at the University. Among these are Coordinator of Medical Technology Program, Director of Academic Advisement, Assistant Vice President for Academic Affairs, Associate Vice President for Academic and Student Affairs, Acting Vice President for Academic Affairs and Acting Vice President for Institutional Advancement.

Dr. Meehan is well aware of the benefits of college athletics and what athletics adds to the college experience.

“I’m very proud of the fact that we have won 58 Ohio Valley Conference Championships and two Women’s All-Sports Trophies since joining the Conference in 2003,” said Meehan. “We have claimed conference titles in football, rifle, volleyball, men’s tennis, women’s tennis, men’s golf , women’s golf, softball and baseball. We have enjoyed post-season competition in many of our sports, which brings national exposure and prestige to our University.

“Our student-athletes excel, not only on the fields of competition, but also in the classroom,” added Meehan. “I’m proud to say that we have more than 130 of our student-athletes with a 3.0 grade point average or higher again last year and overall, the athletic department had a cumulative grade point overage above a 3.0.”

Dr. Meehan began a five-year term on the prestigious NCAA Board of Directors in August of 2009. The NCAA Board of Directors is the primary decision-making body in Division I, with the ultimate responsibility for the policy and direction of the divi-sion and for adopting any changes to the operating bylaws and rules of Division I. The NCAA Board of Directors is comprised of 18 Division I CEO’s, with each member serving a four-year term. Other duties of the board include establishing the budget, general policies and strategic plan for the NCAA.

Dr. Meehan began a two-year term on the NCAA Executive Committee in May of 2011 and was just one of four non-FBS President’s selected for this prestigious honor. While serving on the NCAA Executive Committee, Dr. Meehan played a part in the final approval and oversight of the NCAA’s budget; provided strategic planning for the NCAA as a whole; and acted on behalf of the NCAA by adopting and implementing policies to resolve core issues and other NCAA matters.

The NCAA Executive Committee consisted of 20 members, includ-ing 12 members of the Division I Board, two members of the Division II Presidents Council, two members of the Division III Presidents Council, the president of the NCAA and the chairs of the divisional councils.

Dr. Meehan was also selected by his Presidential peers to serve as the chairman of the NCAA President’s Advisory Group for two years, serving as chairman in 2012 and 2013. This advisory group’s primary role is to provide the perspective of the 20 conferences that do not have permanent seats on the NCAA Board of Directors. The group also reviews NCAA Division I Leadership Council and Legislative Council recommendations, provides direction on academic policies and suggests implementation methods of any appointed task force group reports.

In 2014-15, Dr. Meehan will continue his involvement in the NCAA by serving as a member of the NCAA’s Committee of Academic Performance, which oversees the process governing data collections, analysis and calculation used to determine the academic progress rate (APR), the graduation success rate (GSR) and the process governing data collection of academic performance census (APC).

Dr. Meehan has and continues to be very active in numerous organiza-tions. He has been an active board member for the area Chambers of Commerce, both Calhoun and Etowah County. He served as a mem-ber of the NCAA Presidential Task Force on the Future of Division I Intercollegiate Athletics and the NCAA Presidents Advisory Group. He is a member of the First Baptist Church of Jacksonville, Alabama. He is married to the former Elizabeth Stevens and together they are the parents of twin boys, Drew and Will, and a daughter Carol Grace.

Greg Seitz has been named as interim athlet-ic director at Jacksonville

State University, President Dr. William A. Meehan announced on Thursday, Dec. 18, 2014. Seitz will be serving in the role after Warren Koegel announced his resignation after spending the last three-plus years as the Gamecocks’ Athletic Director.“I want to thank Dr. Meehan and our Board of Trustees for the opportunity to serve during this transition period,” Seitz said. “We have so many good things going on in our athletic department right now and I just want to continue to keep the athletic department run-ning smoothly until a permanent athletic director is named.”

Dr. Meehan did not name a per-manent replacement for Koegel and said the University’s new president would make the deci-sion when he or she is selected and takes over this summer. Seitz has previously served as interim athletic director twice over the last four years.Seitz acknowledged Koegel, say-ing, “We are certainly going to miss Coach Koegel. I have learned so much from working under his leadership and I would like to wish Coach and Elaine the best in their retirement.”Seitz has been with JSU since 1993, when he began working as assistant sports information direc-tor. In 1999, he became Sports Information Director, and then

promoted to Associate Athletic Director in 2002. He was then promoted to Senior Associate Athletic Director in 2011, and he also handles game day opera-tions for football, basketball and baseball.Seitz, who has served on the NCAA Men’s Final Four Media Coordinator team for the last six years, also has worked numer-ous NCAA Championships and Alabama High School Athletic Association events over the last 21 years. In 2002, he became the first SID elected as President of the Alabama Sports Writers Association, and currently serves as the organizations secretary and treasure.

Entering its 65th year, the Ohio Valley Conference continues to build on the success that has made it the nation’s eighth-oldest NCAA Division I confer-ence. In 2012, for only the third time in the past decade, the Conference expand-ed by adding Belmont University as the league’s 12th member. The OVC’s proud past dates back to 1948, but seeds for the new league were actually planted in 1941. It was then that Roy Stewart, the athletics direc-tor at Murray State, Charles (Turkey) Hughes, the athletics director at Eastern Kentucky, and Kelly Thompson, the public relations director at Western Kentucky, first broached the idea of forming a new conference. Discussions were put on hold by World War II, but reemerged Feb. 27-28, 1948 at the Kentucky Hotel in Louisville as the three original institutions combined with Morehead State, Louisville and Evansville to form the OVC.The vision of leadership demonstrated by the Founding Fathers in 1948 remains alive today as the Ohio Valley Conference prepares for the future. One example is in regard to the current trend in collegiate athletics administration for increased involvement of university presidents in setting policies and making

rules. The presidents of OVC institu-tions, however, have always governed the Conference, long before presidential governance became a national theme.The Ohio Valley Conference sponsors the following sports: baseball, basket-ball, cross country, football, golf, tennis and track for men, and basketball, cross country, golf, soccer, softball, tennis, track and volleyball for women. In addi-tion, the OVC also sponsors the com-bined men’s and women’s sport of rifle.Now in its sixth decade of competition, the Ohio Valley Conference has grown significantly from its humble beginnings while increasing the number of athletics opportunities it provides for students. Current league representatives include charter members Eastern Kentucky University, Morehead State University and Murray State University, along with Austin Peay State University, Belmont University, Eastern Illinois University, Jacksonville State University, Southeast Missouri State University, Southern Illinois University Edwardsville, Tennessee State University, Tennessee Technological University and the University of Tennessee at Martin.

We are a tranquil com-munity with a fabulous climate of four distinctive seasons, full bloom summers, and brilliantly colored falls. In every direction there are tree-covered mountains, deep canyons, lush valleys, and underground springs. And yet, if you begin to yearn for big city life, we are only 60 miles from Birmingham, and 90 miles from Atlanta.

A surprising variety of experiences await you in Calhoun County. The climate here allows for year round golf, tennis, hiking, or any activity you may enjoy in the great outdoors.

From modest beginnings, Jacksonville State University has evolved into the educational center of Northeast Alabama. The Alabama Legislature in the 1882-83 session created a state normal school when Governor Edward O’Neal signed into law a bill creating the school on February 22, 1883. Jacksonville State Normal School acquired the facili-ties and equip-ment of Calhoun College, consisting of 12 acres of land and a two-story brick building. The Board of Directors elected James G. Ryals, Jr., as the first president. The school opened with three instructors: W. J. Borden, Mathematics; Eliza A. Bowen, English; and Ida J. Woodward, primary department. As stipulated in the establishing act, the Normal School administered a preparatory school for children of the town and surrounding areas. At the end of the first year, on August 15, 1884, William Mark Hames, President of the Board of Directors, reported that funds totaling $4,751.25 had been received, including $2,500 from the state; that 25 students were enrolled in the normal school; and that 222 were in the preparatory school.The Normal School remained in operation until 1930, when it became Jacksonville State Teachers College. Five years later, the College earned regional accreditation from the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools. The name again changed to Jacksonville State College in 1957 when the first graduate program—the master’s degree in elementary education—was created. On August 2, 1966, the Legislature authorized the State Board of Education to elevate the College to university status. On August 17, 1967, the Legislature established an independent Board of Trustees for the University and divested jurisdiction from the State Board of Education.Jacksonville State University has been served by 11 presidents: James G. Ryals, Jr. (1883-85), J. Harris Chappell (1885-86), Carleton Bartlett Gibson (1886-92), J. B. Jarrett (1892-93), Jacob Forney IV (1893-99), Clarence William Daugette (1899-1942), Houston Cole (1942-71), Ernest Stone (1971-81), Theron E. Montgomery (1981-86), Harold J. McGee (1986-99), and William A. Meehan (1999-present).Jacksonville State University has developed into a modern regional university serving Northeast Alabama on a 392-acre campus with 63 buildings. In addition, the University operates an off-campus center in Gadsden and videoconferencing sites throughout Alabama and Northwest Georgia. Through its programs of teaching, research, and service, Jacksonville State University has served the region and state for more than 100 years.Academic Affairs JSU seeks to be recognized as the premier regional, comprehensive institution of higher learning in the Southeast. We aspire to be noted primarily for our focus on students, the provision of selected academic and professional programs recognized for their excellence, and a geographic and culturally diverse faculty and student body.

“Go Eagle Owls!” would be the resounding cry from Paul Snow Stadium today if ardent fans hadn’t decided 50 years ago that the school mascot should be a bird of a different feather.Jacksonville State University’s first football team was fielded in the late 1800’s and nicknamed in honor of a rare preda-tory bird found near the Arctic circle.The exact details are lost to history, but a group of fans decided it was hard for the school’s image to soar like an eagle if the team’s name was something of a turkey. People like E.C. Wilson, Bruce Chase and Charles Sprayberry felt a more collegiate-sounding moniker would be more appro-priate.The supporters looked to Southern culture rather than the north pole to symbolize the school’s tough spirit. Tongue firmly planted in beak, Gamecock supporters crowed the loudest, and the University found itself with a new identity: a mascot familiar to everyone, including the farm boys who comprised most of the student body back then.For nearly a half-century – up until 1946 – the fledgling Eagle Owls hooted with pride from the scanty facili-ties adjacent to the field at John Forney National Guard Armory.The State Normal School (SNS) team was sparse by today’s standards, but the gridiron action was competitive from the start. Present day rivalries such as Samford (Howard College) and Troy State were rooted in those early games.The team had only 23 players when SNS was renamed Jacksonville Teachers College in 1946, with Head Coach Don Salls beginning his first season, but there was a “big school” atmosphere developing in the foothills.Along with the new name came new colors. The blue and gold were tossed out in favor of the familiar red and white worn by the area high school players.The story goes that there were two camps - those who wanted to keep the Eagle Owl nickname and those who wanted new colors. Legend has it that a compromise was worked out; new colors for a new mascot.It was all worked out by 1947 when the Fighting Gamecocks took to the field for the first time. And, as is true to the nature of the warlike bird itself, the football team and other athletes fought their way to respectability in intercollegiate ranks - eventually bringing home a national championship in every major sport.
