The Troy ISP Sports Network brings Trojan sports to Troy followers around the world. Trojan baseball is an-chored by the 25,000-watt flagship station WTBF-FM in Troy. Overall, the network broadcasts more than 100 live events each year, including men’s and women’s basket-ball, football and baseball. In addition, network program-ming also includes a weekly talk show, “Trojan Talk,” which promotes Troy sports. Barry McKnight is in his seventh

season as the play-by-play “Voice of the Trojans.”

A veteran of the broadcast industry, McKnight also serves as the co-host of a sports talk radio show on WM-SP-AM 740 in Montgomery, where he has worked for parts of the last 11 years. He has also worked in television broadcasting, serving as

the primary play-by-play announcer for College Sports Southeast’s football, basketball and baseball coverage from 1997-2001. A nine-time winner of Associated Press awards for broadcast excellence, McKnight is a member of the American Sportscasters Association and National Sports-casters and Sportswriters Association.

Jerry Miller is in his 16th season with the Troy ISP Sports Network. The Troy alum and longtime sup-porter serves with McKnight as the color analyst for the Trojans football team and provides color for all Troy home men’s basketball games, as well as home baseball broadcasts. He also covers numerous local high school events on both television

and radio broadcasts.

The 2009 Troy University Baseball Media Guide has been prepared to assist members of the media in their coverage of the Trojan baseball team throughout the season. Should you have any questions, please contact Athletics Media Relations Director Ricky Hazel at 334-670-3832.

Media Relations Office The Troy University Athletics Media Relations Office is located on the Fifth Floor of the Movie Gallery Stadium Press Box Facility, adjacent to the main entrance of Riddle-Pace Field. Exit the elevators to the right on the Fifth Floor. Director of Athletics Media Relations Ricky Hazel’s office is adjacent to the Home Radio Booth.

E-mail Updates While game notes and statistics will be distributed to the local media on a regular basis, members of the media may request that they be added to the Media Relations Office’s baseball e-mail group. Subscribers will receive game notes, game stories and other breaking news. To subscribe, simply contact Director of Athletics Media Relations Ricky Hazel at [email protected] and ask to be added to the e-mail list.

Interview Policies Players are available to the media before or after prac-tice, or by appointment through the Media Relations Of-fice. Under no circumstances will student-athletes’ home numbers be supplied to the media. During the season, the best time to reach head coach Bobby Pierce in his office is Monday through Friday in the mornings.

Media Credentials Media credentials will be issued to members of the working media only. Requests for credentials should be made by calling Director of Athletics Media Relations Ricky Hazel at least one day in advance of the requested game or series. All credentials not picked up in the media relations of-fice will be left at the Riddle-Pace Field “Will Call” window.

Press Box Services The Troy Media Relations staff will provide scorecards, rosters, updated stats and results for each team in the Riddle-Pace Field press box. Box scores, play-by-play and postgame notes will be distributed immediately after the conclusion of the game.

Post-game Interviews Following a 10-minute “cooling-off” period, all post-game interviews will be conducted on the field outside the dugouts.

Photographers Cameras will be allowed on the Riddle-Pace Field play-ing surface during games, but only after prior arrangement and approval through the Media Relations office. Photog-raphers are encouraged to shoot from the outfield sides of the dugouts or the photo deck just below the press box.

As the Troy University baseball program enters into its fourth season as a member of the Sun Belt Conference in 2009, the Trojans are a lot like many of the teams they will battle for league supremacy. There are plenty of new faces and questions that will have to be answered early in the season. But, those questions will have to be answered quickly, with the start of conference play coming so early in the season. For the Trojans, the primary questions are in replac-ing All-Conference performers Bryan Miller in center field and Beau Brooks behind the plate, and also in rebuilding a pitching staff that was hit hard by off-season injuries. With that being said, the Trojans are looking to the new season with excitement because of the potential the returning players and newcomers put on display during the fall. The Trojans have their eyes on a return to the top of the Sun Belt Conference in their first full season at newly-renovated Riddle-Pace Field, where the season will culminate in May when the program hosts its first Sun Belt Championship Tournament. “First of all, we’re very excited coming out of our fall campaign because this team, with a lot of new faces, showed good chemistry early on,” head coach Bobby Pierce said. “That has continued to this point, too. We have been able to add some key players at key positions we lost last year, and I feel really good about the team due to the competitiveness they showed throughout the fall. Many times it is difficult to maintain intensity during intra-squad games, but these guys came out and played hard everyday.” Pierce was impressed with the team’s attitude and work ethic in the fall. He thinks the determination they showed in the fall will result in much improved depth in the spring. “I like where we are at on the mound,” Pierce said. “That’s obviously where it all starts. We’ve shown some improvement from our returning players, and we got some great additions from our incoming players. I think the pitching depth could possibly be some of the best

we’ve had since we’ve been in Troy. The quality of start-ing pitchers, one through five, is possibly as strong as it’s ever been.”

Despite Injuries Troy Staff is Deep How deep is the Trojans pitching staff? “We have about 13 or so guys that will probably take the mound this year,” Pierce said. “In years past we were hoping to get seven or eight guys, and we legiti-mately feel like we have 12 or 13 who will be counted on this season. With that being said, we’ve still got Tim Wheeler and A.J. Howard that will probably not be ready by game one. Both had arm surgery, and both are coming back beautifully and on time. I just don’t see them being ready by February 20.” Pierce is hoping the early games in the season will determine the starting rotation for the conference stretch.

Senior Travis Burge will look to make a strong return to the mound in 2009.

“When Wheeler returns, we’ll get him in as a short reliever here and there, and, if he returns to form, we’ll get him back into the starting rotation. Right now it’s Jason Walls and Tyler Ray, who has thrown really well, Travis Burge, who is a strong candidate and Fred Lewis, who we’re looking to use as possibly a weekend type guy. Andrew Dickinson and Robby Loew are possibili-ties, too.” Walls is a tall (6-5) right-hander who posted a 9-3 record last year at Southern Union CC. He came out of fall as the No. 1 starter. Ray, a freshman who is also right-handed, showed to be a viable candidate for the weekend rotation by using the pinpoint control his was known for at Hoover HS. The wildcard may be Lewis, who had Tommy John surgery following the 2007 season and, after missing all of 2008, has been impressive since arriving at Troy. He has No. 1 starter stuff from the left side. With Wheeler, a junior, and seniors Jeff Green and Travis Burge, the Trojans have three players who com-bined to start 28 games in 2008. Throw in seniors J.J. Whetsel and Steven Morelock, who have both been starters in the past before arm problems, and the list of candidates to take the ball is long. “We’re going to let it play out as we go,” Pierce said.

“We’re going to let guys return as they get healthy. We’ll establish the roles more specifically as the season goes.” The guys who don’t make the five-man rotation will filter down into long and short relief roles. In addi-tion to starting candidates, juniors Andrew Dickinson, Robby Loew, Jason Howell and Chris Sorce, as well as sophomores Drew Hull and A.J. Howard, will all be looking for time on the mound between the starter and the closer. The closing duties will again be in the hands of senior Josh Storm, who earned All-Sun Belt honors in 2008 while setting a school record with 12 saves. “We feel good about the end of the game with Josh Storm but, with a five-game week, we feel like we need to establish another guy,” Pierce said. “We’ve got several candidates to determine who that second guy is.”

Outfield Loaded with potential In addition to the depth on the mound, the Trojans are also blessed with a strong field of candidates to fill two open starting spots in the outfield. Despite the loss of All-American center fielder Bryan Miller, the outfield group could prove to be special.

J.J. Whetsel was granted a sixth year of eligibili-ty because of elbow problems the last two years.

“That’s going to be our strength,” Pierce said. “We’ve got five to six quality guys in the outfield. We’ll try to find a rotation to keep each guy going. All six are plenty capable of contributing to this team. We’re certainly deep with some talent in the outfield.” Pierce hopes that by mixing and matching in the outfield, as well as giving guys time at first base and designated hitter, he can give all of his top offensive weapons enough at bats during the year. Seniors Michael Precise and Charley Williams return and will likely man the corner outfield spots. Precise earned second team All-Sun Belt honors last year as a utility player, splitting time between right field, first base and designated hitter. He could see time at all three spots again this year, but will likely be the every day starter in right. Williams, who struggled to meet expectations as a junior, made great strides in the fall and will give the Trojans a left-handed power bat in the middle of the order. “Both have come back and taken advantage of their year of experience in our program,” Pierce said. “They look better than ever. Precise coming off a pretty good offensive year for us. We’re trying to get him to

cut down on his strikeouts and improve his average a touch, but his run producing numbers we’re good. “Charley Williams had kind of an up-and-down junior season but he has shown some flashes and has brought some more consistency to his game. He looks more relaxed and comfortable in what he’s doing. He is just loaded with potential.” With the two seniors on the corners, the big ques-tion is replacing Miller in center field and at the top of the batting order. Junior Steven Rosado stood out in the fall and could provide a top of the order spark on a level similar to what former All-American Adam Godwin did in 2005. “He is another in a long list of really good center fielders we’ve had here,” Pierce said. “He’s a longer, taller, guy, capable of stealing bases and covering ground like Adam did. He’s got a little more power off the bat, but he’s not as athletic and dynamic as Adam was.” Rosado will be backed by redshirt freshman Daniel Peterson, who opened the 2008 season as the starter in center field before a broken leg ended his year. While he is not yet 100 percent following the injury, he will give the Trojans a late-inning defensive option. Also in the mix for playing time on the corners are juniors Chad Watson and Miles Hoyle. Both players arrived at Troy with solid junior college pedigrees and both performed well in the fall. “They are a couple of guys who’ve been great addi-

tions and who we look forward to getting in the lineup and watching play,” Pierce said. “Hoyle is a consistent looking, hard-nosed, left-handed hitter with some power. He can play left and right field and is a really nice looking player. “Chad Watson is the energizer bunny. He brings it every minute of every day and draws everyone around him. He has the best power in a kid I’ve seen in a while. He hits balls that make people stop and watch him hit. He’s not a home run hitter yet, but he probably will be at some point. He is the probably the most explosive athlete in the program.”

Outfield Logjam extends to first If either of those two players, Watson or Hoyle, forces his way into the regular lineup, then the outfield log-jam extends to first base and designated hitter, where junior Daryl Otwell and junior Ryan Ditthardt join the fray for playing time.

Otwell started 43 games at first or DH last year and came back to school in the fall in better shape and more determined than ever. Ditthardt comes in off a junior college All-America season last year that saw him hit better than .400 with 12 homers. “Daryl Otwell is a much-improved player from last year,” Pierce said. He has become a better athlete and looks more at ease and more confident in what he’s doing. “Ryan Ditthardt is a guy that’s going to be in the mix in the middle of the order. He is a run producer type guy and is a guy we played in the outfield a little in the fall. My lineup is going to have three guys in it. I want Ditthardt, Precise and Otwell in the middle of the order and it’s going to be a challenge to try to get all three in the lineup.”

Infield Solid with veteran players The rest of the infield will include a group of solid veteran players who can mix and match at all three positions to fill whatever needs the Trojans have. Sophomore Adam Bryant, who hit better than .400 against Sun Belt Conference foes last year, will be on the field again this year. Whether he plays second base or shortstop will depend on how two other players perform leading up to opening day. “The infield is where we return the most experience, and it is where we have a lot of versatility as well,” Pierce said. “Bryant will start in the middle. He’ll play second with Bart Pettus at short, and he’ll play short with Trevor Tyre at second. Those two will really determine where Bryant plays by who per-forms bet-ter. “ P e t -tus is really starting to come into his own. He had a great defens ive year last year and we would

Junior Daryl Otwell will give the Trojans another potent bat in the middle of the order.

For the RecordTroy enters its 56th season of intercollegiate baseball (on re-cord) with a 1,389-816-1 (.629) record. The Trojans have made 18 postseason appearances and claimed Division II national titles in 1986 and 1987. Since moving to Division I status in 1994, Troy has made four NCAA Regional appearances.

Memphis and Southern Miss from Conference USA. The race for the Sun Belt Conference title will run through Troy at the end of the year, when the Trojans host the Conference Tournament. But Pierce sees his team in with a large group of other league programs in a fight just behind Western Kentucky at the top of the league. “Western has to be the favorites after winning the tournament last year and with all they have returning,” Pierce said. “I’d like to think that we are in a pack with six or seven other teams right behind them. It should be a very competitive conference season.” If the Trojans adequately answer the questions they face with a strong roster of veteran and new players, the race for the Sun Belt title may go through Troy more than just at the end of the season. If that happens, then a return to NCAA Regional play in June will be virtually assured.

really like him to hang on to that spot as he improves as an offensive player.” Tyre has spent time as a starter at both second and third base and is looking to bounce back from a down year at the plate as a junior. Also in the mix in the middle of the infield is junior Shohei Fujita, but the Japanese phenom is also a candidate to redshirt this spring, as is junior college transfer J.R. Myers, who can also play second or third. Senior Brett Henry – who, along with Tyre and Mo-relock, has already received his degree, with all three working toward MBAs – returns as the starter at third base. Henry held off a strong challenge from junior college transfer Zach Martin in the fall. “We’re fairly settled there with Brett Henry having won the third base job,” Pierce said. “Zack Martin a very big, strong, left-handed hitter who is close behind.”

Felix Has Big Shoes To Fill Besides replacing Miller in center, the biggest hole in the lineup is the one left by catcher Beau Brooks, who signed with the Anaheim Angels following his junior season. Junior Steven Felix, who has seen some spot duty behind the plate for the last two years, will have the job on a full-time basis this spring. Felix is already known as an offensive contributor, but his challenge will be in handling the rigors of catch-ing every day while also managing the pitching staff. “When we had Beau Brooks in the program we put Steven in the outfield because he is such a good athlete,” Pierce said. “With Brooks signing, it’s time for Steven to move back behind the plate. We’ve worked really hard with him this fall, and now it’s time for him to take over the spot.” Junior college transfer Jake Sullivan and redshirt freshman Blake Martz will be behind Felix. Both Sul-livan and Martz have solid offensive potential, but will be catching at the collegiate level for the first time.

Schedule to Provide Challenges Like every season, the Trojans will face a rugged schedule that will open against nationally-ranked Ken-tucky in Myrtle Beach, SC, and will include home-and-home series against Alabama, Auburn, UAB, Samford and Jacksonville State as well as home series against

Lott Complex Dedication

On Wednesday, April 16, 2008, prior to Troy’s game against Samford, a ceremony was held to officially dedicate the Lott Baseball Complex at Riddle-Pace Field. Members of the Lott family and various University dignitaries were on hand for the ceremony and ribbon cutting. “This is another first at Troy University as we continue to move forward,” Athletics Director Steve Dennis said. “We are grateful to have such wonderful supporters in the

Lott family and everyone who helped in making the project a success.” The presentation focused on the Lott family, who was in large part responsible for making the improvements possible. “We are very proud of our facility and very appreciative to those who helped us achieve this goal,” Trojan coach Bobby Pierce said. The late Jerry Lott was inducted into the Troy Baseball Hall of Fame in the fall of 2007. Mrs. Lott currently serves in many roles at Troy University, both as a member of the Troy Planned Giving Council, and as a founding member of the Troy Shield Society. Mr. and Mrs. Lott, along with their children Mike and Janet, have been instrumental in making the newly constructed Lott Baseball Complex go from a mere vision to the reality. “This is a magnificent place and it is going to serve us well,” Pierce said.

Alabama, 1982 Since his arrival at Troy Univer-sity in 2003, Bobby Pierce has pre-sided over a period of unprecedented

growth in the Trojans Baseball program. The success of the program on the field is obvious. In his six seasons the Trojans have captured two conference titles, have been to two NCAA Regionals, have produced five con-secutive NCAA statistical national champions, has had eight All-Americans and has sent 15 players on to professional baseball. In conference competition, the Trojans have produced 23 All-Conference selections, including two players who earned Pitcher of the Year honors, one who earned Player of the Year and one who was named Newcomer of the Year. In terms of team results, the Trojans led the nation in runs scored in 2006 and have been in the top 10 nationally in home runs three times since Pierce has been in charge of the program. In the past six years the Trojans have set new team season records in 10 offensive and 10 pitching categories. Along with the production on the diamond, the baseball program at Troy under Pierce has regularly been among the best per-forming athletic programs at Troy University in the classroom. The program has posted a team GPA of better than 3.0 during many semes-ters and has almost 50 percent of the squad achieving that standard on a regular basis. One of the highlights of Pierce’s tenure at Troy was the first team Academic All-American honor earned by Kevin Weidlich in 2007. Entering the 2009 campaign, three members of the Troy squad have already received Bachelor’s degrees and all three are working toward MBA degrees. The other highlight of Pierce’s tenure as Troy’s head coach has been the dramatic facility improve-ments. Riddle-Pace Field has gone from being a very good college baseball facility when Pierce arrived to the point where it is now one of the show places of college baseball. The completion of the Lott Baseball Complex, with a state-of-the-art locker room, coaching of-

fices, covered practice areas and numerous other amenities give the Troy University baseball program a facility that is the equal of any in the nation. The addition of a new artificial

playing surface, outfield wall with video replay capabilities and the top lighting in the nation will give the Trojans a unique competitive advantage for many years to come. When Pierce first arrived on the Troy University campus in 2003, he had a plan for the future of the Trojans’ baseball program. He knew about the history of the program – the national and conference championships – but he also knew about the struggles the program had endured since moving into the competitive world of Divi-sion I baseball. But Pierce had a plan for grow-ing the program that was tried and true. His plan had worked at Chipola Junior College and at UAH. In 2003, Pierce brought his plan for success to Troy and the results have been startling. Pierce took over a struggling program that had endured three consecutive losing seasons and, in his first season, he led the Trojans to a surprising 27-27 record, including a 16-16 mark in the Atlantic Sun Conference.

In his second season Pierce’s Trojans made greater strides, perhaps surpassing expectations by making a run all the way to the title game of the A-Sun Tournament. That club opened the season with a seven-game win streak and added a 10-game streak during the middle of the campaign. The 2004 Troy team also produced the programs’ first Division I All-American. Junior closer Nate Moore earned first team honors while leading all of college baseball with a 1.25 earned run average. Those two accom-plishments started a remarkable run for the Troy program that continues into the 2009 campaign. Moore was also the first Trojan selected in the MLB amateur draft under Pierce, going in the fourth round to the Kansas City Royals. Since Moore’s selection in 2004, 10 more Trojans have had their names called in the MLB draft. Even more remarkable is the fact that in each of the last five seasons, starting with Moore, the Troy program has annually produced a statistical national champion. According to long-time NCAA staff members, this streak is unprecedented in college baseball history.

By the 2005 sea-son, without Moore, there were doubts as to whether the Tro-jans would, or could, continue to improve. Those concerns were answered by a group of seniors that led the Trojans to a wire-to-wire run to the A-Sun title, earning two more players All-America rec-ognition. Adam Godwin ran his way into not only the Troy record book, but also the A-Sun and NCAA books with 84 stolen bases that season in earning

and with 117 total hits, joining Moore and Godwin as national leaders. Despite a record that left little doubt about an NCAA Tournament invitation, the Trojans left no room for doubt by sweeping through the Sun Belt Tournament to earn an auto-matic bid to the NCAA Tournament. The 47 overall wins posted by the Trojans in 2006 were the most since making the move to Division I in 1994. The Regional berth sent Pierce back to Tuscaloosa where he had been an All-SEC West Division player for Alabama in 1980-81 and also earned a spot on their All-Century team. The Trojans posted a pair of wins over Southern Miss, the only team to have swept a three-game series from Troy during the season, but were unable to defeat the host team.

league Player of the Year as well as All-America honors. Three other seniors on that squad – pitchers Landon Brazell and Brent Adcock, along with catcher Henry Gutierrez – also earned All-Conference honors that year, with Adcock earning conference Pitcher of the Year honors. For Pierce, the hardware was for Coach of the Year, his first such award at Troy. In addition to the successes of 2005 on the field, the squad also performed well in the classroom, capturing the Fred B. Davis Award for having the highest team grade point average among all of the men’s sports teams at Troy University. In 2006, Pierce had to find a way to replace the four de-parted seniors who made up the core of the A-Sun title team By all accounts, the move to the Sun Belt Conference was a big step up in competition for the Trojans. The league boasts of several programs that are perennial NCAA Tournament teams and the competition on a daily basis throughout the league is intense. Surely, the experts thought, the best Troy could hope for in its first season would be a middle of the pack finish. Well, that was not part of Pierce’s plan. His plan called for the Trojans to continue to make steady strides each season. Missing the NCAA Tournament in 2005 gave the returning players plenty of motivation as the squad entered a new league. But there were two un-known players joining the Troy program for the move to the Sun Belt – Tom King and Mike Felix – both had All-America seasons. The Trojans staggered to a 3-6 start and was struggling early in the season but, as if flipping a switch, the teams’ fortunes changed. The Tro-jans won 23 of their next 27 games, and raced out to a 12-1 record in their first Sun Belt season. By the time the season ended, Pierce had earned his second straight Coach of the Year Award and the Trojans had won the Sun Belt championship. King became a national phenomenon as he chased the all-time NCAA single season record for doubles. He fell one double shy of the record, but led the nation with 35 two-base hits

Both King and Felix were named to All-America teams and both juniors were selected high in the MLB draft. In addition to losing King and Felix, senior Jared Keel was also drafted, leaving three gaping holes in the Troy lineup heading into the 2007 season. With a bull’s eye squarely on the backs of the Trojans, the 2007 campaign was full of challenges. A 9-3 start was followed by a four-game skid. Series wins against FAU and nationally-ranked Coastal Carolina were followed by a road sweep at UALR and series losses to ULL and South Alabama. Troy entered the Sun Belt Tournament expecting to need a strong showing to earn an NCAA bid but, even after winning just once in Mobile, the Trojans’ high RPI earned the team an at-large bid, marking a second straight NCAA Regional appear-ance. Individually, Josh Dew earned All-America honors by lead-ing all of college baseball with 13.4 strikeouts per nine innings. Remarkably, Dew struck out 41.4 percent of all the hitters he faced during the season. Dew, Clint Robinson and Clegg Snipes were all called in the MLB Draft following the season. After four straight NCAA statistical championships, no one even considered the possibility of someone else stepping up in 2008. That was before outfielder Bryan Miller recorded seven doubles over a four-game stretch in March. That hot streak, however, paled in comparison to an 11-game run later in the season when Miller posted a .608 batting average with 10 doubles to put himself in position. He finished the year with six doubles in his last five games to total 32 for the year. While his total wasn’t enough to win outright, his average of .55 doubles per game made him Troy’s fifth straight national champion under Pierce. He also joined the list of All-Americans to have played for Pierce at Troy.

The Road To Troy A Marianna, Fla., native, Pierce was no stranger to Troy when he arrived as head coach in 2003. He originally enrolled at Troy as a freshman in the fall of 1977 before transferring to South Florida Community College in January 1978. He played the 1979 season at Wallace Community College in Dothan and then signed with the University of Alabama in 1980. As a senior co-captain in 1981, Pierce set numerous school records as an All-SEC outfielder. Pierce was honored after his playing career by being named to the Crimson Tide’s All-Century team. Following his graduation in 1982, the then 23-year-old be-came the youngest head coach in Florida junior college history at Chipola Junior College. In his first season, the school finished 41-15 and won the Florida state junior college championship, helping him earn Panhandle Conference and Florida Junior College Coach of the Year honors. Chipola won four Panhandle Conference championships, earned five state tournament berths, with one title, and won 40 or more games four times under Pierce. In addition, more than 75 percent of his players signed scholarships at four-year institutions, more than 95 percent of which eventually earned their degrees. In seven seasons, Pierce’s squads at Chipola posted a 259-95 overall record. After the 1989 season, Pierce returned to his alma mater

as Alabama’s top assistant coach. In five years, he served as recruiting coordinator, coached the offense and outfielders, served as third base coach and coordinated the program’s summer camps. During his stay, Pierce coached his first Division I All-Amer-ican, outfielder Joe Vitiello, who went on to enjoy a seven-year career in the Major Leagues. He was one of 16 players from Alabama to advance into professional baseball during Pierce’s time there. After five seasons as an assistant coach, Pierce was named the first head baseball coach in history at the University of Alabama-Huntsville. In a short time, Pierce established himself, and the Charger baseball program, as one of the best in the nation. Pierce coached several All-Conference, All-Region and All-America players while at UAH and 10 players went on to have professional careers after playing at UAH. Pierce served on the Division II All-America Committee in each of his last two years at UAH. During his time in Huntsville, Pierce posted a 276-108 record in seven seasons. He guided the Chargers to the 2001 Gulf South Conference title and four NCAA regional tourna-ment appearances after founding the program in 1995. His squads also won three GSC East Division crowns and advanced to the conference tournament championship game four times. He was named the GSC’s 2001 Coach of the Year after helping the Chargers finish 41-17 and earn a top 10 national ranking. Pierce is married to the former Kay Walls of Chipley, Fla., a health teacher at Charles Henderson High School. The couple has three children – Lance (23), a Troy University graduate, Lauren (22), a senior at Troy, and Logan (19), a freshman at Shelton State Community College.

Assistant Coach7th Season at Troy

InfieldersRecruitingTroy, 1988

Former Trojan Mark Smartt re-turned to his alma mater in July of 2002,

accepting an assistant coaching position under head coach Bobby Pierce. Following his third season at Troy University in 2005, he was named the Alabama Baseball Coaches Association Assistant Coach of the Year. He was the first-ever recipient of the award. Coach Smartt is the recruiting coordinator for the Trojans while also coaching third base and working with the hitters and infielders. Smartt, a second baseman for legendary Coach Chase Riddle, helped lead the Trojans to the 1986 and 1987 NCAA Division II national championships. He was the second leading hitter (.405) on the ’86 championship team, which is the sixth highest single-season average in school history. He ended his career with a .379 batting average, the third-highest career average in school annals. He also ended his career with a stellar .954 fielding percentage. During his two-year Trojan career, Smartt was named to the All-GSC team in 1986 and 1987 and earned second-team All-Region honors in 1987. He was also named to the College World Series All-Tournament team in 1987 after hitting .333 while not committing an error in 24 chances. His successful playing career was punctuated by his induction into the Troy University Baseball Hall of Fame in 2002. Following two years as an assistant coach under Riddle, Smartt spent 11 seasons as a coach at the University of West Alabama, serving as the head coach from 1995-2000. He arrived in Livingston as the school’s first full-time assistant coach in 1990 under then head coach Mark Hogan. His recruiting efforts helped produce a 1992 Division II College World Series appearance after capturing the Gulf South Conference and South Central Regional Championships along the way. The Tigers captured a GSC West Division Championship in 1994, his last season as an assistant. In 1995, Smartt was elevated to the head coaching position and compiled a 165-163 record in six seasons. During his tenure, his teams broke or tied 38 school records while producing two All-America, seven All-Region and 10 All-GSC selections. Under his leadership, UWA also finished in the top five in national atten-dance in five of his six seasons, including setting a single-game home crowd record of 2,019 in his last season. Smartt was appointed a member of the ABCA Division II All-American Committee from 1998-2000, serving as the chairman the last two years. He also was a member of the Division II National Poll Committee from 1995-98. Immediately prior to returning to Troy, Smartt spent two years as park manager with the parks and recreation department in Moody, Alabama. Smartt and his wife Deborah, a Troy graduate, have a daugh-ter, Taylor Michelle (17), and a son, Chase Allan (13).

Back for the 2009 season are the Troy University Diamond Dolls. The Diamond Dolls are under the di-rection of Kay Pierce, who is in her fourth year as the group’s sponsor. The Diamond Dolls provide a number of services to the baseball team during the year. They can be seen selling tickets, retrieving foul balls and assisting in other game-day operations. One of the group’s biggest responsibilities for the future of the baseball program is their help in recruiting. In addition to game-day duties, the Diamond Dolls also provide treats for the Trojan players, supplying the athletes with sweets, gum and sunflower seeds. “The Troy Diamond Dolls are one of the most cordial groups I have ever been associated with,” head coach Bobby Pierce said. “They are a wonderful group of girls.” The Diamond Dolls are easy to spot during Troy home games because of their friendly smiles and Diamond Dolls uni-forms.

Staff Directory

Sun Belt Conference While there are 31 NCAA conferences that sponsor multiple sports, the Sun Belt is one of only 11 to participate in the Bowl Championship Series (BCS) and Football Bowl Subdivision. The Sun Belt was formed in 1976 with six members competing in four men’s sports, and today comprises 13 institutions of higher learning while sponsoring 19 championship sports for men and women. The Sun Belt Conference enters its 33rd season in 2008-09 with a proud history of athletic and academic success.

The conference s p o n s o r s 1 0 women’s sports - basketball, cross c o u n t r y , g o l f , soccer, softbal l , s w i m m i n g a n d d i v i n g , t e n n i s , indoor and outdoor track and field, and volleyball; and nine

men’s sports – baseball, basketball, cross country, football, golf, swimming and diving, tennis, and indoor and outdoor track and field. Each of the 19 sports has seen numerous team and individual accomplishments, and nearly every Sun Belt Conference school is currently graduating its student-athletes at a rate higher than their school’s student body. All Sun Belt schools are committed to excellence in the 21st century, and facility upgrades and expansions are occurring on virtually every campus. In baseball, the Sun Belt Conference has sent multiple teams to the NCAA tournament each year since 1988. The 20-year streak of having two or more teams reach NCAA play is matched by only four other conferences (ACC, Big West, SEC, Pac-10). Because of its status as a member of the Football Bowl Subdivsion coalition, the Sun Belt Conference has a permanent seat on the NCAA’s 17-member Board of Directors. As a result, the conference has a crucial voice on some of the most pressing issues in college athletics and will always have a role in the implementation of any future NCAA legislation and guidelines. The conference continues to utilize television to grow and promote the league and it’s member institutions. Adding volleyball, baseball and softball to the conference’s television package has resulted in more national and regional television exposure for the league than at any time in its history. The conference’s regional television package enables live telecasts of Sun Belt events to reach over 20 million households. Additionally, ESPN televised the conference’s men’s basketball championship game for the 28th straight season in 2008, marking its longest affiliation with any conference in the country. The Sun Belt Conference has partnered with JumpTV

Sports, Inc. to deliver a full-service, customized, public and premium website to provide fans with a broad range of real-time information and content about the conference’s athletic teams. The Sun Belt is one of the few conferences in the nation to provide video highlights and features on its website from each of the league’s respective championships. This technology serves as a great recruiting tool for schools by enabling anyone in the world with internet access to view the conference’s championship events. Fans in five different countries viewed the conference’s most recent soccer championship. The Sun Belt Conference is led by Commissioner Wright Waters, who is in his ninth full year as commissioner. He was named the conference’s fourth commissioner in February of 1999 following the tenures of Vic Bubas (1976-1990), Jim Lessig (1990-1991), and Craig Thompson (1991-1998). The league’s annual all sports champion is awarded the Vic Bubas Cup, named after the conference’s first commissioner. The conference office has been headquartered in downtown New Orleans since 2000 after moving from suburban Metairie, La. , where it had been based since 1991. Prior to moving to the “Big Easy,” the league was based in Tampa, Fla. , from 1977-1991. The original conference office was located in Charlotte, N. C., from 1976-77.

Bryan Miller became an All-American in 2008 by leading the nation in doubles per game. Over a 21-game stretch late in the season he hit better than .600.

2008 Season In Review

Page 71: 2009 Baseball Media Guide

70 2009 Troy University Baseball Media Guide

The 2008 Troy University baseball season started and ended with a bang, but it was an even during the middle of the year that will leave the most lasting impact on the program. The Trojans opened the year by winning their first seven games and nine of their first 10, marking the programs’ best start to a season since opening the 1990 campaign with an 11-game win streak. That season-opening streak of gamee included wins over highly thought of teams from Wake Forest and Alabama. The high of the great start to the season was put to the test when the Trojans, who were 12-3 at the time, went west for a three-game series against the No. 1 team in the nation, Arizona State. The Trojans appeared set to make a major impact on the national stage by scoring six runs in the first inning against the unbeaten Sun Devils, chasing junior starter Jason Franzblau before he could record an out. The Sun Devils, however, showed why they were the top ranked team in the nation by battling back to take a 15-9 victory in that first game. Over the next two days it was ASU’s pitching that told the story as the Sun Devils completed a sweep of the Trojans with 8-1 and 7-1 victories. The Trojans returned home and dropped a tough game to Auburn before getting back on the winning side with a four-game streak that included a road sweep over eventual Sun Belt Tournament champion Western Kentucky. At that point the Trojans were 16-7 overall and 5-1 in the Sun Belt and were having thoughts of a run at a league title. Those thoughts evaporated as the Trojans posted a 16-19 mark through the rest of the season, never winning or losing more than three straight games at any point. As the Trojans struggled on the field down the stretch, a Wednesday afternoon in April marked a significant landmark in the history of the program. On April 16, the University officially dedicated the Lott Baseball Complex, marking the end of an 18-month construction project that completely remade the look of Riddle-Pace Field. Despite the way the club played down the stretch of the season, the Trojans were still in great position headed into the Sun Belt Tournament at Lafayette. Troy finished the

2008 Season In Review

season with an 18-12 mark in league play, good for a No. 3 seed in the tournament. That third seed wound up placing the Trojans in a first-round tournament game against the host Ragin’ Cajuns. Like he had done on several occasions in the past, ULL starting pitcher Hunter Moody turned in an amazing performance against Troy in that opening game, holding the Trojans to one run on seven hits in a 6-1 ULL victory. That sent the Trojans into an elimination game against second seeded New Orleans on the second day of the tournament. The Privateers had lost a 14-2 run-rule game to seventh seed South Alabama on the first day of the tournament, running a season-ending losing streak to five games. The streak had cost UNO the regular season league title, and had put their once secure NCAA Regional bid in real jeopardy heading into an elimination game with the Trojans. The two clubs battled into the ninth inning with neither

able to gain an advantage over the other. Troy tied the game in the seventh inning when sophomore Steven Felix blasted a solo homer. In the bottom of the ninth, the Trojans got a single from Charley Williams, followed by an error and a sacrifice to put the winning run at third base with one out. After an intentional walk loaded the bases, UNO called to the bullpen for closer Ryan O’Shea. The mood on the field was excited in the Troy dugout and decidedly down on the UNO side before Mother Nature made her presence felt. T h u n d e r s t o r m s we re closing in on M.L. “Tigue” Moore Field as O’Shea prepared to face Troy All-American Bryan Miller with both teams’ seasons in the balance. Just as Miller, who was swinging one of the hottest bats in all of college baseball, stepped into the box to face O’Shea, a giant bolt of lightning struck just beyond the outfield wall, calling a delay to the action. The ensuing rain storm not only put an end to the game, but also to the

entire second day of tournament play, with three games still scheduled to be played that day. The storm left much of Lafayette under water as more than six inches of rain fell on the area. Both teams were forced to return to the field at 8 a.m. the next day to complete the game. The mood on the field was noticeably different. The Privateers had some bounce in their step and O’Shea, who was hitting only the upper 80s on the radar gun the morning before, was popping the mitt at 94 in preparation for his showdown with Miller. After open the at bat with a 1-1 count, O’Shea blew consecutive fast balls past a swinging Miller for the second out. When Beau Brooks popped to third to end the inning, the momentum had officially jumped into the UNO dugout. Troy’s All-Conference closer, Josh Storm, tried to quiet the Privateers in the 10th by retiring the first two hitters he faced, but UNO’s Josh Vander Hey took a one-strike pitch from Storm over the wall in right for a go-ahead homer, giving UNO the victory in stunning fashion, and ending Troy’s season at 32-26. The season included many notable accomplishments, not the least of which was Miller earning All-America honors after leading the nation in doubles per game. Miller hit .466 in Sun Belt Conference play during the year and, down the stretch, he put together one of the most remarkable hitting streaks ever. Over the Trojans final 24 games, Miller hit an amazing .519 with 16 doubles, 10 home runs, 41 RBI and a .963 slugging percentage. Miller and Storm both earned first team All-Conference honors, with juniors Michael Precise and Beau Brooks earning second team honors. Freshman infielder Adam Bryant set a new school record for hits by a freshman with 57 and senior Ryan Ellison finished his career on the mound with 207 strikeouts, making him just the fourth player in school history to reach the 200 milestone. After the season, Brooks was taken in the 20th round of the MLB Amateur Draft and signed with the Anaheim Angels. Miller signed a free agent contract with the Washington Nationals.

Few schools in the South, let alone in America, possess as rich a history and tradition as that of the Troy baseball program. In the last 40 years, Trojan hardball squads have claimed more than 1,100 victories, 14 conference champi-onships, seven NCAA Regional crowns and back-to-back Division II NCAA Championships in 1986 and 1987. Photographic archives show evidence of intercollegiate baseball in the Wiregrass as early as the turn of the century, but school records only date back to 1954. Listed hereafter is a synopsis of the “modern era” of Troy Baseball.

1931 All home games are moved to what is now known as Riddle-Pace Field. All previous home seasons were played on the quad in front of Shackelford Hall. The change in venue was due to the number of windows being broken in Shackelford.

1961 In his first season as head coach, Melvin Lucas leads Troy to a 17-7 record and its first Alabama Intercollegiate Conference title. After capturing ACC crowns in 1962 and 1964, Lucas ends his four-year stint with a 62-30 record. His .674 winning percentage is still second all-time at Troy.

1975 Larry Maier is hired as the eighth coach in school history. He is also the linebackers coach on the Troy football team. In his only season on the diamond, the 33-year-old leads the Trojans to a 14-12 record.

1978 Catcher Buster Bergstrom is named first-team All-GSC and second-team All-South Central Region as a junior. In a team-high 187 at bats, he struck out just two times. His 93.5 at bat-to-strikeout ratio is still a school record.

1979 After 25 years as a player, manager and scout with the St. Louis Cardinals, 50-year-old Chase Riddle is hired as the ninth head coach since 1954. In his first year as the head man in Troy, he led the Trojans to a then-school-record 33 wins and a second-place finish in the Gulf South Conference Eastern Division. They also reeled off a school-record 20-game winning streak. Stan McCauley leads the GSC with 14 home runs and becomes Troy’s first All-America selection. Pitcher Andy Giannini finishes tied for the conference lead with 10 wins.

1980 After sweeping Jacksonville State, 2-0, in the GSC Championship playoff, Troy played host to the NCAA Central Regional. The Trojans went 5-1 and advanced to their first College World Series in Riverside, Calif. Troy dropped their first game, 8-2, to Florida International

but rebounded with a 6-3 win over Florida Southern in the loser’s bracket. The Trojans were eliminated by New Haven, 15-7, and ended the year with a 30-12 mark. Riddle was named GSC and NCAA Central Region Coach of the Year.

1981 Senior Danny Cox throws an NCAA-record 43 consecu-tive scoreless innings on his way to a 13-3 record and 1.30 ERA. His 13 victories are tops in the NCAA.

1982 The Trojans tear through the GSC and capture their third consecutive conference crown, but are denied a spot in NCAA Regional play. Troy (31-10, 8-3 GSC) finished the season ranked 13th, its lowest in four years under Riddle.

1983 Troy’s string of three consecutive GSC titles is snapped and the Trojans failed to reach the CWS for the second straight season, falling in the semifinals of the NCAA Central Regional. TROY finished with a 23-11-1 record, 5-3-1 in GSC play, and a No. 7 final ranking.

1984 The 1984 squad won a then-school-record 39 games

(16 losses) and finished third at the NCAA College World Series and won the third Central Region title in the last five years. The 1984 team broke or tied an amazing 76 school records.

1985 Eleven seniors led Troy back to the NCAA CWS and broke the school record for wins (43) and home runs (87). The home run record stood for 13 years. Senior Chuck Stanhope and junior Ron Warren com-bine for 22 victories, 12 complete games and a 3.15 ERA. It was the first year for the CWS to be played at Paterson Field in Montgomery.

1986 Mike Perez, a transfer from the University of Florida, leads the NCAA with 13 wins. His .929 (13-1) winning percentage is the best single-season percentage in school history and the 13th-highest in Division II history. On May 23, an NCAA Division II record for atten-dance is established in the Division II College World Series as 6,280 fans pack Montgomery’s Paterson Field for the doubleheader featuring Cal State Sacramento against Tampa and Troy against Mankato State.

1987 Troy repeated as NCAA Champions with a 38-10-1 re-cord and closed the season with a 15-game winning streak. First baseman Jude Rinaldi hit a school-record .431 and led the team in hits (62), home runs (16) and fielding percent-age (.990). He was named the CWS Most Outstanding Player after he hit .588 with seven RBI in four games. James Wray makes a run at Danny Cox’s consecutive scoreless innings streak but falls short with 36 consecutive. That is still fourth all-time in NCAA Division II history.

1988 The Trojans finished with a 35-17 record but were elimi-nated in the semifinals of the NCAA South Central Regional

and denied a chance to win a third consecutive national title.

1989 Shortstop Dirk Williams led the team in batting average (.410), hits (59), singles (46), doubles (11) and runs batted in (34) en route to claiming All-Gulf South honors. With a 29-16 record, the Trojans fail to make the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 1981.

1990 In what would be Coach Riddle’s last year at Troy, the Trojans finished one game shy of a run at a third national championship, dropping the regional title contest to archri-val Jacksonville State. Troy went 51-10 and broke or tied more than 40 team and individual school records. Ward Thigpen earned first-team All-America accolades, while catcher Joel Smith garnered third-team honors. Scott Ates tied an NCAA Division II record when he hit four home runs against Valparaiso on March 6. He was the

first player since 1965 to accomplish the feat. His 16 total bases tied the NCAA record and stood for three years -- but is now tied for sixth all-time. On June 4, by an act of the University Board of Trust-ees, Pace Field was officially renamed Riddle-Pace Field. In the off-season the infield of Pace Field was dug up, leveled and rebuilt with new sod and a complete state-of-the-art irrigation system.

1991 Eckerd College head coach John Mayotte was hired as the 10th head coach since 1954. His task was simple: Maintain the level of success that Riddle had elevated the program to in the 1980s and remain competitive at the Division I level. He did just that in his first year, leading the Trojans to a 34-19 record, the Gulf South

Mike Perez and head coach Chase Riddle accepting the 1986 NCAA Division II National Championships trophy.

On May 23, 1987, 6,280 fans packed Montgomery’s Patterson Field for the first day of the NCAA Division II College World Series.

Conference East Division crown and a berth in the NCAA South Central Regional. Troy finished the year ranked 14th in the nation. On April 13, Chase Riddle’s No. 25 became the first number to be retired in Troy history.

1992 The loss of Troy’s top three pitchers from the 1991 team proved too much to overcome as the Trojans finished with a 29-21 record. Dave Sparks emerged as the ace of the squad and went 7-2 with four complete games and three shutouts. The high point of the year came on Friday, April 24, when he hurled a perfect game against Georgia State at Riddle-Pace Field. Troy led the nation in attendance with 5,625 total fans passing through the turnstiles at Riddle-Pace Field. The Trojans averaged 433 fans per game.

1993 In its final year as a Division II member, Troy claimed the NCAA South Central Regional Tournament and returned to the College World Series for the first time since 1987. Knowing it would be the final appearance in Montgomery, the Trojans were the sentimental favorite to win their third championship. Senior Steve “Chainsaw” Charles took the hill and made just his third start of the season in the opener

against Mansfield. He definitely made the most of his oppor-tunity. In front of 5,100 fans, Charles threw the first no-hitter in College World Series history. The Trojans went 1-2 over their next three contests and had to settle for a third-place finish. They ended the year with a 39-17 record. Charles finished the season with a 1.40 ERA, a 5-1 re-cord, a school-record 10 saves and was named first team All-America. Charles’ 4.34 hits allowed per nine innings went down as the fourth lowest total in NCAA Division II annals. Senior catcher Chip Hummel earned third-team All-America honors after batting .325 and leading the team in at bats (203), hits (66) and doubles (13). Mayotte was named Division II National Coach of the Year by the American Baseball Coaches Association.

1994 In its first year as a full Division I member, Troy won the East Coast Conference Tournament with a 5-1 record and finished the season with a 34-16 mark. The Trojans posted a four-game split with NCAA Tournament participant South Alabama and a two-game split with eventual NCAA College World Series participant Auburn. Right-hander Rob Batchler was named ECC Player of the Year as he posted an 11-3 record and a 3.73 ERA. He concluded

his two-year career with a 22-7 record. Catcher Curtis Green and outfielder Daryl George were also named All-ECC.

1995 With the 1995 season came high expectations and anticipation around the Troy campus. Troy was entering its first year as a member of the Mid-Continent Conference. The Trojans finished the regular season with a 22-21-1 record and drew the third seed in the four-team MCC Tournament, hosted by Eastern Illinois in Charleston. Trojan ace Jason Fawcett beat EIU 13-6 in game one, as Alex Rosa paced the team with a three-run homer and two-run double. A thrilling 8-7 win over Western Illinois in game two left Troy just one win shy of the Mid-Con title. Tournament MVP Rosa hit another three-run dinger, and Peter Bezeredi collected four hits as the Trojans defeated WIU, 12-9, for the championship. The Trojans continued their hot play in the NCAA Play-In series against Midwestern Collegiate Conference champ Wright State. Fawcett took the hill in game one as the bats provided more than enough support in a 16-7 rout. Troy earned its first NCAA Regional berth when pinch-runner Lance Lawley scored from second on a single by Rhodney Donaldson with the score tied in the bottom of the ninth to give Troy a 6-5 victory. Despite losing two straight games, to top-seeded Florida State and second-seeded Ole Miss, in the Atlantic I Regional in Tallahassee, Fla., the trip will forever be remembered as the event that officially welcomed Troy into the Division I family.

1996 The Trojans went through the Mid-Con regular season with a 16-2 record, earned the top seed in the East Divi-sion and the host role. NE Illinois upset Troy, 8-7, in the first round when it scored the winning run on an eighth-inning error. Troy fought through the losers bracket with wins over Eastern Illinois and Pace, setting up a rematch with NEIU. Northeastern’s Matt Dunne had two hits in leading the Golden Eagles to a 3-0 victory.

Troy (41-13) swept the regular season awards dished out by the conference. Reggie Hightower was named Player of the Year, Dean Cordova was named Pitcher of the Year, Michael Rivera was named Newcomer of the Year and John Mayotte was named Coach of the Year.

1997 The 1997 season proved to be one of the most success-ful since moving to Division I status. Troy finished with a 37-23 slate, captured its second Mid-Con title in three years, won an NCAA Play-In series and advanced to an NCAA Regional for the second time in three seasons. Troy’s 8-6 conference mark earned the Trojans the East Division’s top seed in the post-season tournament, hosted by NE Illinois in Chicago. The Trojans breezed by Western

Illinois and NE Illinois to earn a spot in the finals. NEIU up-ended Troy, 7-3, forcing a winner-take-all final. The Trojans exacted some revenge from the previous year, defeating the Golden Eagles, 9-3, on their home field. Troy took two straight from Detroit in the NCAA Play-In series and was assigned to the NCAA South II Regional in Tuscaloosa, Ala. In their opening game against Alabama, the Trojans held a 5-4 advantage through six-and-a-half innings but could not hang on, as the top-ranked Crimson Tide won, 8-5. A day later, ninth-ranked USC eliminated Troy, 5-2, ending the Trojans’ season at 37-23. The Trojans nearly pulled off another sweep of the conference awards, missing out only on the Newcomer of the Year. Outfielder Bryan Kelley was named Player of the Year, Jason Fawcett Pitcher of the Year and Mayotte earned his fourth career Coach of the Year award.

1998 In their first year as a member of the Atlantic Sun Confer-ence, the Trojans finished with a 37-21 mark and advanced to the conference title game. Troy hit a school-record 115 home runs, led primarily by the record-setting bat of Jorge Soto, who hit 23. On April 14, 2,159 fans set a Riddle-Pace Field atten-dance record as Troy upset third-ranked Alabama, 8-4.

1999 Troy tallied 118 home runs, breaking the school record of 115 set in 1998. The 2.00 HR per game ranked second nationally. The Trojans also ranked 31st in scoring (8.39 rpg) and seventh in slugging (.564). Senior Jorge Soto ranked 11th with 0.446 HR per game. His 26 round-trippers set a new school record, breaking his own record set in 1998. Kevan Burns’ 22 and 0.376 per game placed him in a tie for 29th. On May 8, Troy broke 10 individual and team records in a 34-4 rout of Stetson at Riddle-Pace Field. The 14 hits belted out by the Trojans in the sixth inning are an NCAA Division I record.

Troy Baseball History2000 Junior third baseman Casey Smith finished the year with a .404 batting average, ranking 42nd nationally. The Trojans finished with a 22-34 record, 11-16 in A-Sun play, and missed the conference tournament for the first time in three years as a member.

2001 Troy won five of its final six regular-season games to secure the sixth seed in the A-Sun Tournament. After dropping their opener to UCF, the Trojans upset No. 2 seed Stetson before falling to Jacksonville in the quarterfinals. The Trojans finished the year at 27-28 overall and 13-17 in A-Sun action. Jason Bernard was named second team All-South Region and finished among the national leaders in wins (20th with 11) and ERA (52nd at 2.71). As a team, the Trojans finished 16th in double plays (1.07 per game).

2002 After enduring a slow start, the Troy baseball team ral-lied over the last month to earn another berth in the Atlantic Sun Conference Championship. The Trojans won 19 of their last 28 games, including nine straight at one point, to pull into fourth place in the A-Sun standings.

2003 Troy began the Bobby Pierce era with a 27-27 finish. The Trojans won their first five under Pierce and were in contention for a spot in the A-Sun tournament. However, they dropped 10 of their last 13 to miss the tournament by just one game. Trent Cox broke the freshman hit record with 49 and was named to the A-Sun All-Freshman team.

2004 The Trojans made great strides in Pierce’s second season. After a great start, the team slid to fifth in the final A-Sun standings, but then bullied their way to the finals of the Conference Tournament before falling to Florida Atlantic. Junior pitcher Nate Moore became the first Trojan to earn First Team All-America honors (Baseball America) after leading the nation with a 1.25 ERA. He was taken in the fourth round of the Major League Baseball June Amatuer Draft by the Kansas City Royals.

2005 Going into its final season of play in the Atlantic Sun Conference, the Trojans squad put together an amazing combination of speed on the base paths, power at the plate and dominating starting pitching to dominate the league race, winning the league title by a comfortable margin. Adam Godwin led all of NCAA Division I with 94 stolen bases and was named A-Sun Player of the Year. Henry Guti-errez made a run at the A-Sun triple crown and led the way

as the Trojans hammered out 82 homers for the season. Senior pitchers Brent Adcock and Landon Brazell gave Troy the top pitching tandem in the conference. The com-bined to win 20 of the Trojans 37 victories, and Adcock earned Pitcher of the Year honors.

2006 After the disappointment of the end of the 2005 season, the Trojans went into the 2006 campaign with renewed determination. The players were determined to leave their mark on a new league, and that is just what they did. The Trojans put together a streak in the middle of the season that resulted in victories in 20 of 21 games. That streak also helped the team get off to a 12-1 start in its first season in the Sun Belt Conference. That hot start turned out to be insurmountable as the Trojans finished with a 20-4 mark in league play to capture the Sun Belt crown in the programs’ first year in the league. With the memory of the snubbing of 2005 still fresh on the minds of all involved, the Trojans left no doubt about NCAA play by sweeping through the Sun Belt Tournament to earn an automatic berth into the NCAA Tuscaloosa Regional. Upon arriving in Tuscaloosa, the Trojans were faced with the only team to sweep a series from them, Southern Miss. The Trojans answered that challenge by beating the Golden Eagles twice, but Troy was not able to overcome the homestanding Alabama club, which ended Troy’s season. Troy’s 47-16 overall record was the best for the program since moving to Division I in 1994. The season was full of landmark performances. Tom King earned All-America honors after leading the nation in hits and doubles, setting school and conference records in both. King also had a 31-game hit streak during the year and had hits in nine consecutive at bats twice, breaking another SBC mark.

2007 The Trojans earned a second straight NCAA Tournament berth, but fell short of a third straight conference title. The season was highlighted by victories over Alabama, Auburn, Michigan, Southern Miss and Arkansas, not to men-tion a pair of thrilling wins over nationally-ranked Coastal Carolina. Troy’s strong non-conference performance resulted in a top 20 RPI and earned the team an at-large berth into the Oxford Regional. There the team dropped consecutive games to Southern Miss and Sam Houston State to end the season. The Trojans ran their streak of NCAA statistical cham-pions to four with Josh Dew’s performance on the mound. Dew earned Sun Belt Pitcher of the Year honors after posting a 7-2 record with 10 saves and leading all of college baseball with 13.36 strikeouts per nine innings.

By Tom Ensey -- Troy SID (1979-97) It was midnight. And baseball was still being played. On May 23, 1986, in the opening round of the NCAA Division II Baseball Championship Finals, Troy State trailed Mankato State, 6-4, in the top of the ninth. The game hadn’t even started until 9:15 p.m. The afternoon contest, a 14-12 Sacramento State win over Tampa, had dragged on for three hours. Then, the between-game ceremonies ran overtime, pressing everything back against this moment, this unlikely hour. Midnight, bases loaded, one out: Troy third baseman Wendell Stephens at bat with an 0-2 count and a national championship in the balance. Forget that there was even one out. Stephens was Troy’s big gun, the team home run leader, school record holder for RBI in a season and career. He was The Man. This was it. Forget, too, that the crowd of 6,280 had dwindled to 2,000 or so. The diehards who remained shook the stadium with every pitch, yelling from their hearts. It was like one throbbing, swelling voice that offered up a roaring prayer for deliverance. Stephens had fouled off four straight pitches into that thunder. He and Mankato reliever Scott Toop were locked in a war of wills as if nothing else matter. And nothing else did matter. Not in that stadium, at midnight. Toop checked, rocked, fired. Fastball. Stephens’ bat flashed, cracked and the centerfielder never turned around to watch it go. Toop sank to his knees. That ball was long gone, deep into the night, deep into the kudzu that grew thick on the steep clay bank rising behind the 380 sign in Montgomery’s Paterson Field. A grand slam. Unreal. “When I saw it go out,” Stephens said later. “I thought, ‘Okay, now we can win it.’” He meant the tournament -- the national championship that had eluded four previous Trojan teams. And while the tournament was far from over, there was still that ringing home run, struck at midnight. That sudden, improbably dramatic instant in which the wish became real, frozen in time and echoing in the mind like destiny. Today, with the gold trophy securely encased in the lobby of the Tine Davis Field House, the rest of the 1986 NCAA Division II Baseball Championship Finals seems strangely distant and anti-climactic. But there were other moments, many individual efforts combined, and many hearts fused into the force that forged a shared dream in to the reality of that trophy. Remember Troy State’s tough little lefty, Ron Warren, tired but bearing down in the last three innings of his last college game, a

7-5 win over valiant New Haven. He pro-tected that two-run lead with every mol-ecule in his body. (Be-fore the game, before Warren trotted off to the bullpen to take his warmup, a friend had said, “Little Man, I hope you have one more left in you.” Warren replied, “Big Man, how many do you want?”) Remember Jody R y a n’s c o m p l e t e game. A 9-1 win over heavy-hitting Sacramento State. Ryan got the start on a hunch by coach Chase Riddle. On a last-minute lineup change, Ryan took the ball and went out to complete his up-and-down, injury-plagued, roller coast-er college career as he scattered nine hits. He teetered on the brink of disaster for nine full innings, but always found the right pitch to get out of trouble. Remember Mike Perez and his masterful one-hit shutout of Columbus College in the championship game, which had been delayed a day by rain. The contest was finally played in a persistent, gentle drizzle on a threatening night with the faraway rumble of distant thunder. Perez fell into a trancelike rhythm that a 26-minute rain delay in the fourth and a line drive taken to his thigh in the eighth could not undo. The Trojan batters gave him five runs, more than enough that evening. Perez threw just 80 pitches -- 54 strikes in nine in-nings. He retired the last 11 men in order while striking out the last two. Then, leaping into the arms of his catcher, Todd Englett, Perez thrust his redoubtable right arm high into the air in triumph.

And Riddle, with every line on his weathered face aglow, put the championship into perspective. His baseball career had spanned five decades, beginning in 1942 when he signed his first professional contract at 17 in his hometown of Columbus, Ga. As he stood in the midst of the celebration, Riddle cradled the trophy he had yearned for since re-turning to his alma mater as coach eight years before. He watched his young national champions cheer-ing wildly. “Just look at those kids’ faces,” Riddle said, his voice cracking. “That’s what it’s all about. That’s what you do it for.”

By Tom Ensey -- Troy SID (1979-97) In 1987, Troy State won its second straight NCAA Division II Baseball Championship. The celebration of 1986 was still in full swing when the first person asked, “Can you do it again?” Uh, well... The tone was set early for the coming season. Comparisons between the two teams were inevitable and began before the 1987 squad even hit the field. The 1986 club left an all-but-impossible act to follow. They posted an eye-popping 46-8 re-cord, utterly demolished good teams along the way and staged incredible, dramatic comebacks in championship play. It was as if Hollywood had scripted the season, as if some screenwriter had imagined the archetypical team of destiny and put them on the field in Troy uniforms. The ‘87 team would battle the memory of ‘86 as surely as they would face hard-eyed opposing pitchers and batters who wanted nothing more than to knock the crown off the defending champions’ heads. By the time the ‘87 sesaon started, 1986 had receded into the all-forgiving past, and typically, fans recalled something more like a highlight film than reality. And of course, the fans also expected the new edition to pick up where the legend left off, though new faces and untested players abounded. The season started, and the wheels came off. Troy State split its first doubleheader, split its second and lost its third. It was like watching somebody drown. Two-and-four to start the year, enduring three shutouts. This was not against championship competition, to put it kindly. The record inched over .500 as the young season progressed, but the uphill climb was anything but pretty. The Trojans hovered between mediocrity and collapse. Chase Riddle, the silver-haired, veteran coach, had seen a lot of ups and downs over his career. He wasn’t exactly cheerful during the rough going, but he counseled calm and patience. “I told you we wouldn’t play at the start of this year like we did at the end of last year,” he reminded. “I still have a good gut feeling about this team...Don’t give up on us...We still have a chance to be a good ballclub...I don’t know if we’ll be a championship team, that’s up to the players.” April 4 was a ridiculous day for baseball, with 20 degree tem-peratures and stinging winds after a freakish Alabama snowstorm. At the home of archrival Jackson-ville State, TSU’s record dipped to a chilling 12-9, 1-2 in the Gulf South Conference after losing the first game of a league doubleheader. James Wray, the ace of the staff, lasted five innings, surrendered five runs, and took the loss for an un-acely 2-3 record. After two innings of the second game, TSU trailed 8-0 and was staring down the barrel of a disgracefully early exit from league contention. Forget about national cham-pionships and all that jazz. It would be nice to say the wind changed directions and grew suddenly warm, or the sun broke through the frozen clouds as TSU

mounted its comeback. But no omens underscored the rally. The guys finally started getting the bat on the baseball. When the game ended, TSU had banged out a 13-9 win and was still alive in the GSC race. After the game, the prevalent emotion was weak-kneed relief, the kind one would find after surviving a bad car crash. If there was a turning point to the 1987 season, that was it. And come to think of it, the weather did warm up with TSU’s hit-ting and pitching. After that, anture began to burst with rebirth as Trojan hopes rose. It seemed like the rest of the team’s days were played on beautiful, shining spring days. Things began to turn around, but slowly. The team teetered on the brink. It survived one close call after another. But TSU always managed to scrape by. Toward the end of the regular season, the Trojans were a good baseball team, fulfilling half of Riddle’s prophecy. And like the old man said, if they make up their minds... The record was 20-10 on Easter Sunday, after Valdosta State demolished the Trojans, 10-2. It was the last loss the team would suffer. TSU caught fire and raced through the rest of the schedule undefeated, closing with a 15-game winning streak. Wray won his last six games in a row and began a streak of 36.2 consecutive scoreless innings, four straight shutouts, wind-ing up a first-team All-America. Not only was Wray honored, but first baseman Jude Rinaldi ended up swinging the meanest bat in school history. During 1987, he posted a .431 batting average, with 16 home runs and 45 runs batted in in 45 games. The team equaled all the achievements of the ‘86 squad, rip-ping through postseason play undefeated, collecting Gulf South Conference, South Central Region and national championships. The opponents, for the most part, were stunned that they had lost to these guys. How did they continue winning, game after game? The fact of the matter is, the second-time national champions weren’t as overwhelmingly talented as the great team of ‘86. They did not set records, they weren’t as deep in pitching, didn’t have the stunning speed or awesome power. They sure did not make winning look easy. But they did not fold, either. They did not break when things looked hopeless, and they delivered when it was all on the line. They fought every step of the way. They left claw marks all the way to the top of the heap.

Between 1979 and 1990, while Chase Riddle roamed the dugouts and coaches boxes of Pace Field, the Troy State base-ball program rose from regional obscu-rity to national powerhouse. Riddle finished as the winningest coach in school history -- in any sport -- with 434 wins. His overall record of 434-147-2, a .744 winning percentage, ranked him among the top 10 Division II coaches in winning percentage.

Below: Riddle is carried off the field fol-lowing Troy’s 5-0 victory over Columbus College in the 1986 title game.

Above: Riddle’s No. 25 was retired on April 13, 1991.

His teams won two national cham-pionships (and narrowly missed out on three others), six regional titles and cap-tured five Gulf South Conference crowns. He was named Coach of the Year in 1986 and 1987 and nabbed Regional Coach of the Year awards in 1980, 1981, 1982, 1985, 1986 and 1987. His teams won 71.2 percent of their conference games (92-37-1) and had an .809 winning percentage at TSU’s Pace Field (253-59-1). His teams were 36-18 in NCAA post-season play, including an amazing 24-10 mark in regional play and a 12-8 record at the College World Series. Three of Riddle’s teams won more than 40 games and four more won at least 35 games. He produced 10 first-team All-Americans, 30 total All-America and 36 first-team All-Gulf South Conference performers.

NCAA Statistical Champions Over the last five seasons, the Troy University baseball program has enjoyed an unprecedented run of success on a national level. In fact, in each of the last five seasons, the Trojans have produced an NCAA Statistical National Champion. These five players, whose abilities are as varied as the categories they led the country in, all earned All-America accolades as a result of their outstanding seasons. Here is a look at each of the five players and their amazing accomplishments.

Nate Moore - 2004 Everyone knew it was coming at the end of games in 2004. If the Trojans held a lead late in the game, Nate Moore was going to take the mound. The Kinston, Ala., native was as dominant throughout that season as any player in college baseball. In 64.2 innings or work during the year, Moore allowed only nine earned runs. Name School IP ER ERA1. Nate Moore Troy 64.2 9 1.252. Jered Weaver Long Beach State 144.0 26 1.633. Brad Kilby San Jose State 58.0 11 1.714. Jason Windsor Cal State-Fullerton 162.2 31 1.715. Wade Townsend Rice 120.1 23 1.72

Adam Godwin - 2005 There was nothing anyone could do to stop it. When Adam Godwin got on first base, everyone in the park knew what was coming. The opposing coaches knew, the pitchers knew and the catchers knew. Everyone was aware, but there was nothing they could do about it. The Enterprise, Ala., native was so dominant on the base paths that, not only did he set new school and conference marks for stolen bases in a season, he earned Atlantic Sun Conference Player of the Year honors. To illustrate how dominant he was, he stole second and third base consecutively 27 times during the year. Those 27 trips around the bases, alone, would have left him one stolen base shy of leading the nation. Name School G SB SB/G1. Adam Godwin Troy 58 84 1.452. Carl Lipsey Jackson State 46 55 1.203. Corey Wimberley Alcorn State 38 42 1.114. Zach Penprase Miss. Valley State 48 44 0.925. Will Bashelor Dartmouth 34 30 0.88

NCAA Statistical ChampionsTom King - 2006 Tom King was a little big of an unknown entering the 2006 season. A transfer from South Carolina, no one expected the kind of season King put up. His 35 doubles not only led the nation, they fell one short of tying the all-time NCAA single-season record. The Panama City, Fla., native led the Trojans to a Sun Belt Conference title in their first year in the league by leading the nation in both doubles and hits. In addition to setting league records in both categories, he also set new league marks with a 31-game hitting streak and by getting his in nine consecutive at bats, twice. He was named Sun Belt Newcomer of the Year for his efforts. Name School G 2B1. Tom King Troy 63 352. Jay Miller Washington State 59 283. Jacob Dempsey Winthrop 64 284. Phillip Laurent Liberty 60 275.

Matt Camp N.C. State 261 101 .387

Josh Dew - 2007 Like Moore two years before, Josh Dew got the ball at the end of a lot of games for the Trojans in 2007. Unlike Moore, he rarely got the opportunity to warm up in the bull pen because he spent most of his time playing first base. The Montgomery, Ala., native’s moonlighting as a closer turned into his primary vocation as he turned in one dominant performance after another. Dew earned Sun Belt Pitcher of the Year honors by striking out better than 40 percent of the hitters he faced during the year while posting a 7-2 record and earning 10 saves. Name School App. IP SO K/91. Josh Dew Troy 27 65.1 97 13.42. David Price Vanderbilt 18 133.1 194 13.13. Jess Todd Arkansas 23 93.1 128 12.34. Chance Chapman Oral Roberts 22 94.0 127 12.25. Mitch Harris Navy 14 88.1 119 12.1

Bryan Miller - 2008 The thought of producing a fifth straight national champion at the beginning of the 2008 season was not even a consideration. Through 11 games, the Incline Village, Nev., native had a fairly average five doubles. He more than doubled that total in a series against FIU, but the best was yet to come. Through 34 games, Miller had 16 doubles, but over a 24-game hitting streak to end the season, Miller hit a sparkling .519 with 16 more doubles, not to mention 10 home runs. He also drove in 41 runs during that stretch, with a .963 slugging percentage. Name School G 2B 2B/G1. Bryan Miller Troy 58 32 .552. Matt Pace Ark.-Pine Bluff 43 23 .533.

through a new elevator in the Lott Baseball Complex. Once inside, the Stadium provides 300 chairback seats and 1,700 bleacher seats. Approximately 30 percent of the stadium seating behind home plate is covered by an awning for protection from the sun or rain. The addition of the Lott Baseball Complex in 2008 includes locker room facilities for the Trojans, coaches offices, a new scoreboard with additional advertising opportunities, an covered batting cage and a new outfield wall. Prior to 2002, the last major renovation to the stadium came prior to the 1991 sea-son when the infield w a s d u g up, leveled and rebuilt with new sod and a c o m p l e t e i r r igat ion s y s t e m . P r i o r t o that, Triple-A q u a l -i t y l i g h t -i n g w a s installed in time for the 1987 cam-paign.

Continued improvements to Riddle-Pace Field, along with the addition of the Lott Baseball Complex, give Troy University the top baseball facility in the Sun Belt Conference and one of the best in the nation. Original renovations to Riddle-Pace Field were com-pleted in time for the 2002 season, with the latest phase of improvements made in time for the 2008 season. This season will mark another landmark in the history of the facility as the Trojans are set to host, for the first time, the Sun Belt Confer-ence Championship Tourna-ment from May 20-23. Riddle-Pace Field is a beau-tiful facility constructed of red brick and exposed steel beams, which complement the attrac-tive architecture already found on the Troy University campus. The stadium was designed to ensure outstanding sightlines and comfort for fans, as well as meet the needs of the country’s finest

college baseball players. U p o n p a s s i n g

Riddle-Pace Field and Lott Complex After years of planning, fund-raising, sacrifices and hard work, the Troy University baseball pro-gram ushered in a new era on April 16, 2008, with the official opening of the Lott Baseball Complex. “This is another first at Troy University as we continue to move forward,” Athletics Director Steve Dennis said. “We are grateful to have such wonderful supporters in the Lott family and every-one who helped in making this project a success.” The late Jerry Lott was inducted into the Troy Baseball Hall of Fame in the fall of 2007. Mrs. Lott currently serves in many roles at Troy University, both as a current member of the Troy Planned Giving Council, and as a founding member of the Troy Shield Society. Mr. and Mrs. Lott, along with their children Mike and Janet, were instrumental in making the Lott Baseball Complex go from a mere vision to reality. The Lott Baseball Complex at Riddle-Pace Field is a state of the art baseball complex that rivals any in the nation. The new complex features indoor batting cages, new locker rooms for the players and umpires as well as a player lounge and meeting area. The facility also provides new offices for the Troy coaching staff. “We are very proud of our facility and very appreciative to those who helped us achieve this goal,” Trojan coach Bobby Pierce said. “This is a magnificent place and it is going to serve us well.” In addition to the Lott Complex, numerous upgrades were made to Riddle-Pace Field. Among the highlights is a new home dugout, built into the ground floor of the Lott Complex, a new home bullpen area and a new artificial playing surface. The new playing surface is now lit by a state-of-the art lighting system that provides the Trojans with the absolute best lighting for night games. No other college facility in the country can match the lighting availble at Riddle-Pace Field. The final touch is a new outfield wall that included a “mon-ster” in right field and a state-of-the-art scoreboard and sound system built into the wall in right-center field. The wall in left field was lowered and future plans call construction behind the wall, creating a fan-friendly seating and tailgate area. The new playing surface gives the Trojans an opportunity to spend more time on the field, even on days where inclement weather would have, in the past, forced practice or games to be cancelled. The field drains water at an incredible rate of 10 inches per hour meaning that, in the future, rainouts of Troy home games will be a very rare occurance. The completion of the Lott Complex at Riddle-Pace Field, plans are in place for the next phase of improvements and removations that will take the facility to a level on par with the best college baseball facilities in the nation. Plans call for an expansion of seating down the rightfield line that will bring capacity to more than 4,000. The expanded seating will also include a new sunken dugout on the first base line that will match the home dugout as well as locker room space for visiting teams. Finally, the next phase calls for the construction of 12-15 luxury sky boxes to give Troy baseball fans an opportunity to

enjoy all the best amenities while cheering the Trojans to victory. As we continue to make improvements to Riddle-Pace Field all Trojan fans are needed to do their part to make this, and other, projects become a reality. By contributing to the Troy Baseball Capital Campaign, fans will be helping the University, the student-athletes and coaches achieve at the highest level of success possible. To contribute to the Troy University Baseball Capital Cam-paign contact the Atletics Department at 334-670-3482.

Troy University’s tradition of teaching excellence dates to its founding on February 26, 1887, when an act of the Alabama Legislature established Troy State Normal School as an institution to train teachers for Alabama’s schools. Joseph Macon Dill was the institution’s first president. In 1893, the school was renamed Troy State Normal College. The Normal College offered extension courses for teach-ers and granted teaching certificates until 1929, when the State Board of Education changed the charter of the insti-tution and renamed it Troy State Teacher’s College. That same year, the college moved to its present site and the two buildings were dedicated: Shackleford Hall, named for Edward Madison Shackleford, president of the school from 1899-1936, and Bibb Graves Hall, named for David Bib Graves, Alabama’s “education governor. Governor Bibb Graves is also remembered for commis-sioning the Olmsted Brothers Architectural Firm of Brook-line, Massachusetts, to design the campus landscape plan. Like many American universities, Troy State Teacher’s Col-lege enjoyed one of its most prosperous periods of growth in the years following World War II when returning veter-ans took advantage of the GI Bill.

The enrollment of the College more than doubled and this growth led to the introduction of degree programs in disciplines other than education, most notably in busi-ness. In 1957, the State Board of Education recognized this expanded and dropped “Teacher’s” from Troy State College’s name. The decade of the 1950s also marked the University’s long relationship with the United States Mili-tary, as extension courses were offered on nearby bases, first at Fort Rucker, near Dothan, and later at Maxwell Air Force Base in Montgomery. A separate Troy State College teaching center was es-tablished at Fort Rucker in 1961, which evolved into the present-day Dothan campus. A similar center, begun at Maxwell Air Force Base in 1965, led to the creation of the present-day Montgomery campus. These programs were the forerunners of the modern Global Campus division, formerly known as University College division of Troy Uni-versity, which operates all TROY teaching sites outside of Alabama. In 1973, the University opened sites at military

Page 134: 2009 Baseball Media Guide

1332009 Troy University Baseball Media Guide

Troy Universitybases in Florida. Today, Global Campus operates more than 60 sites in 15 U.S. states and 11 nations. In 1967, Gov. Lurleen B. Wallace appointed eight mem-bers to the newly established Troy State College Board of Trustees, removing the institution from the control of the State Board of Education. One of the first acts of the new board was to recommend the change of the name to Troy State University. The new name became official on December 14, 1967. In 1975, the Phenix City Campus was opened as a branch of the main campus. In 1982, the Troy State University System was formed, as the campuses in Dothan and Montgomery were granted independent ac-creditation status. In April 2004, the Board of Trustees voted to drop the “State” from the University’s name to better reflect the institution’s worldwide mission. Starting August 2005, all TROY campuses were again unified under one accreditation.

Commitment To Academics Troy University believes in a total commitment to improving the lives of its student-athletes. All decisions are based on the idea that our athletes, who are the leaders of tomorrow, are students first. The commitment is providing the student-athlete with the assistance necessary to balance athletic and academic participation. The Troy University Athletics Department is an integral part of the University. Its mission is to assure a balance between the desire to win and the desire to facilitate positive growth of student-athletes. The athletics department will strive to graduate student-athletes who will make significant contributions to society, view their experience as rewarding and who will be proud alumni and advocates of the University.

NCAA Regulations The NCAA has set straightforward and stringent guidelines as to whom may represent a member institution in athletics. The organization utilizes the Clearinghouse to determine eligibility for every potential student-athlete. The Clearinghouse determines if the prospect meets the minimum requirements set forth by the NCAA. The Clearinghouse looks beyond grade point average and SAT/ACT test scores. It also scrutinizes the high school transcript to determine if the student-athlete has met at least 14 academic core course requirements. These include four years of English, two years of mathematics, two years of sciences, two years of social studies and four additional academic courses. The NCAA requirements do not stop with initial

eligibility. Student-athletes have to maintain a steady p r o g r e s s i o n toward graduation while remaining in good academic s t a n d i n g w i t h the Univers i t y. This is done by m a i n t a i n i n g a prescribed GPA (depending upon classification) and passing at least 24 semester hours of degree work each academic year. Further, NCAA rules stipulate a student-athlete must declare a degree program of studies, and thereafter make satisfactory progress toward that specific degree. This is done to help ensure the mission of collegiate athletics, which is to graduate student-athletes, not exploit them for their athletic abilities.

Student-Athlete Services Troy students are fortunate to have Student - Athlete Services (SAS) available to them. SAS provides all students the support necessary to make the collegiate experience the most beneficial and fruitful it can be. The athletics department coordinates an academic reinforcement program for student-athletes.

Kevin Weidlich was an ESPN/CoSida Academic All-America first team selection in 2007.

Steve Dennis is beginning his fourth year as the Troy University Director of Athletics. Dennis came to the Troy family from Auburn University where he served in a variety of capacities since 1985. His final assignment was as Associate Director of Tigers Unlimited, the Athletics Department’s Development office. In that position he was responsible for identifying, cultivating and soliciting support from individuals, private industry and corporations for the Athletic Department. A native of Macon, Ga., Dennis graduated from the University of Georgia, Cum Laude, in 1978. While at Georgia, Dennis played football for legendary coach Vince Dooley. He was the Bulldogs’ defensive captain in 1978 and was an Academic All-SEC pick that same year. During his playing career he played in three bowl games for the Bulldogs. It is that foundation as a student-athlete that guides Dennis in his quest to take Troy Athletics toward great things in the future. Dennis started his professional career as a high school teacher, football coach and baseball coach in Windsor, Ga. He started his collegiate coaching career at the University of Tennessee-Chattanooga in 1981. Over four seasons he coached outside linebackers, defensive line and special teams for the Moccasins. Dennis went to work as a defensive backs and special teams coach at Auburn in 1985 and he remained on the Tigers’ staff for eight seasons. He was named the SEC

Working Coach of the Year in 1986 by the Birmingham Touchdown Club. During his initial stint with the Tigers he coached along side current Troy head coach Larry Blakeney. Current Troy

assistant coaches James Joseph, Mike Pelton and Shayne Wasden all played for the Tigers while Dennis was on the coaching staff. Dennis returned to his alma mater in December of 1993 and worked as a defensive backs and special teams coach for the Bulldogs for three seasons. From 1997 through 2002, Dennis was out of college athletics. He worked in sales, marketing and promotions for Great Southern Wood, Inc., from 1997-2000, and he was a vice president for Cleveland Brothers Construction from 2000-02. Dennis returned to Auburn to coach tight ends in 2002 before moving into fund-raising with Tigers Unlimited in 2003. During his college coaching career he was part of seven bowl teams and one Division I-AA Playoff team. Dennis and his wife, Lisa, have four children – Chris, Cale, Corey and Allison.

Strength and ConditioningThe strength and conditioning program at Troy

University continually produces prepared and condi-tioned athletes for the highest level of collegiate com-petition. Strength and Conditioning Coach Richard Shaughnessy heads the program that works with Troy's 17-sport athletics program.

Under Shaughnessy's direction, the program has achieved new heights. The current weight room, located on the first floor of the Movie Gallery Stadium Tower, has been a major factor in its success. The program plays a key role in the department's efforts to build a compre-hensive and competitive athletics program. It also works to provide all Trojan student-athletes with a winning edge in preparation for the playing field.

The million dollar strength and conditioning facil-ity is 10,000-square and accommodates more than 420 student-athletes. It is designed with all sports in mind with more than $150,000 in equipment. It houses cardio-vascular equipment, hammer systems, power racks and a variety of leg apparatuses. Cross-training equipment and a multi-station crossover machine are among the items that have also recently been added. University courses are also taught in the facility throughout the year.

The strength and conditioning staff trains and monitors each of Troy's 17 athletic teams in order to determine prog-ress and preparedness. All athletes are tested a minimum of three times per year, according to different categories.

Each member of the football team is ranked by a point system, according to the athlete's progress in the follow-ing 12 categories: bench press, squat, hang clean, vertical jumps, height, weight, 40-yard dash, 12-yard dash, box jumps, dots, jump ropes and 225 reps. The squad is bro-ken up into seven levels from highest to the lowest: Elite, Exclusive, Ultra, Super, Champion, Player and Trojan.

Ample and efficient equipment along with an expe-rienced and determined staff allows the strength and conditioning program to constantly produce successful and prepared athletes for Troy.

Athletic TrainingTroy University has long been a leader in the field of

athletic training. In 1990, the establishment of a four-year curriculum only strengthened the University’s commit-ment to this vital area of athletics.

The athletic training staff is committed to not only providing exceptional healthcare to student-athletes, but also to providing outstanding education to student train-ers. The coursework, which is accredited by the National Athletic Trainers Association, prepares students to become certified athletic trainers while working closely with the athletics department and gives them invaluable hands-on experience. The program assigns at least one certified trainer to work with each varsity sport on cam-pus.

John “Doc” Anderson, who returned to Troy following an 11-year stint as head trainer at Louisiana State, started the academic program in 1991 and continues to oversee its progress as curriculum director. Anderson was Troy’s head athletic trainer for 13 years prior to leaving for LSU in 1980. Head athletic trainer Chuck Ash, who coordi-nates all aspects of the athletic training program, has been with Troy for 19 years.

Ash is assisted by three full-time trainers: Cherise Crisman, Diana Montgomery and Allison Steed, all of whom graduated from Troy University. The program also employs six graduate assistant trainers.

In January of 2005, the athletic training program moved into its new, state-of-the art, facility on the sec-ond floor of the Movie Gallery Veterans Stadium tower. The new facility includes expanded rehab and treat-ment areas, hot and cold tubs for treatment of injuries, new staff offices as well as room for a medical clinic with examination rooms and x-ray facilities.

In order to be successful and progressive, the Troy athletic training program aligns itself with exceptional professionals in the field.

Troy has benefited tremendously from its lasting

relationship with Dr. James Andrews, one of the world’s leading orthopedic surgeons. Andrews is a member of the Troy Board of Trustees, as well as the Chief of Staff of Andrews Sports Medicine Orthopedics Center, which has quickly become one of the leading comprehensive sports medicine centers in the world. Andrews and his orthopedic group also team with the Troy athletic train-ing program for the American Sports Medicine Institute. This program assists area high school coaches with the healthcare process for their athletic programs.

Dr. Mickey DiChiara and Dr. Jefferey Dugas also serve as team physicians for the Trojans and have been instru-mental in the development and organization of the ath-letic training program.

With a committed staff of trainers and physicians, a competitive accredited curriculum and an updated facil-ity, Troy has an ideal and progressive athletic training program. The ultimate beneficiary of that success is the Troy University student-athlete.

Trojan traditions

NICKNAMEThe Troy athletic teams have had a variety of nicknames throughout the years, from Bulldogs to Teachers to Red Wave. As the football team began competition in the 1910s, the was called Bulldogs or Teachers (since the school began as teacher’s college). In 1922, the group was called Trojans for the first time. That lasted until Albert El-more’s arrival on campus 1931. A graduate of the Universi-ty of Alabama, Elmore changed the nickname to Red Wave, a variation of Crimson Tide. The Red Wave moniker stuck until 1973, when the student body was charged again with voting for its new team nickname. The first game of the season in 1973 on the road against Northeast Louisiana (now Louisiana-Monroe), the squad departed Troy without a nickname. However, the students voted on the nickname that Saturday morning. The winner? Trojans. The current nickname won the election by a two-to-one margin with the ballots being tallied just hours before kickoff. With the new nickname, the Trojans battled Northeast Louisiana to a 15-15 tie.

T-ROY T-Roy, the Troy mascot and a fan favorite, has been a fa-miliar sight at Troy athletic events since making his first appearance in the mid 1980s. T-Roy became the school mascot after a campus-wide decision on the name for a new mascot. There was an election by the student body with “T-Roy” coming out victorious. In the spring of 2008, T-Roy was voted the third best mascot in the nation.

TROJAN LOGOWhen Troy dropped the State from its name in 2005, they upgraded the look of the athletic logo. Troy went from a simple Trojan helmet to a menacing looking Trojan. Troy also made an assortment of side logos including the letter “T”, shaped like a sword and also a crest that says “Troy” with two swords crossing behind the intial logo.

ALMA MATERTROY: A Beacon to the World“Upon the might walls of TROY, we meet our life-long friends. To grow in knowledge, truth and strength, our journey never ends. With the promise of the future, and the guidance of the past, We pledge our solemn vow to thee, loyal ever last. So raise our might Trojan sword, a beacon to the world! Throughout the ages brightly shines, the guiding light of TROY.
