NCAA DIVISION III

In 2013, Covenant became full members of the NCAA Division III following a four year transitional period from 2009-2013.

The largest division, in terms of number of schools and number of partici-pants, is Division III comprised by more than 170,000 student-athletes at 444 mostly smaller institutions.

Academics are the primary focus for Division III student-athletes. The division minimizes the conflicts between athletics and academics and keeps student-athletes on a path to graduation through shorter practice and playing seasons, the number of contests, no redshirting and regional

competition that reduces time away from academic studies. Student-athletes are integrated on campus and treated like all other members of the general student-body, keeping them focused on being a student first.

The college experience is a time of learning and growth — a chance to follow passions and develop potential. For student-athletes in Division III, all of this happens most importantly in the classroom and through earning an academic degree. The Division III experience provides for passion-ate participation in a competitive athletic environment, in which student-athletes push themselves to excellence and build upon their academic success with new challenges and life skills. And student-athletes are encouraged to pursue their full passions and find their potential through a comprehensive educational experience.

The Three D’s:

DiscoverDivision III student-athletes are encouraged to pursue their interests and passions beyond the classroom and field of play…to discover themselves.

DevelopDivision III institutions provide an environment that encourages student-athletes to develop into well-rounded adults. Small class sizes, the ability to participate in more than one sport, and an emphasis on participating activities outside of the classroom are all hallmarks of the Division III expe-rience.

DedicateDivision III institutions expect student-athletes to dedicate themselves to achieving their potential. Student-athletes must manage their busy schedules, keep up with class work and face the same challenges as the rest of the student-body.

USA SOUTH ATHLETIC CONFERENCE

On July 1, 2013, Covenant became members of the USA South Athletic Conference. The confer-ence is comprised of schools from Alabama, Georgia, Tennessee, North Carolina and Virginia.

Overall, the USA South has 13 full-fledged members for the 2015-16 academic year.

One of the oldest Division III conferences in the nation, the USA South was born as the Dixie Intercollegiate Athletic Conference in 1963 when six institutions with similar philosophies of academics and athletics joined as founding members. The original members were: Charlotte College (now UNC-Charlotte), College of Charleston (S.C.), Methodist University, North Carolina Wesleyan College, St. Andrews Presbyterian College, and Lynchburg College. The basis for the new athletic conference was that participation would be strictly amateur, and thus no athleti-cally awarded financial aid or athletic scholarships would be awarded. That philosophy still exists today.

In February 2003, it was announced that the Dixie Intercollegiate Athletic Conference would change its name to the USA South Athletic Conference. The name change was made official on July 1, 2003 and the first USA South Athletic Conference championships were awarded in the fall of 2003.

The Conference was originally affiliated with the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) and remained with that affiliation until 1973. At that time the NCAA divided into three legislative and competitive divisions, with Division III allowing membership for nonathletic scholarship institutions only. The Dixie joined the NCAA, and in so doing, became one of the first conferences accepted into Division III. Since the inception of Division III, the USA South has been a leader in many areas, and has gained an outstanding regional and national reputation in a number of sports.

The Conference sponsored athletic programs for men only until 1981. In that year, the NCAA ex-panded its sponsorship to include women’s sports, and the Dixie followed that lead by including women’s sports. The Conference now sponsors championships in men’s and women’s crosscountry, men’s and women’s soccer, women’s volleyball, football, men’s and women’s basketball, baseball, softball, men’s and women’s tennis, men’s golf and women’s lacrosse for a total of 14 sports.

Each year the Conference not only recognizes the participants for outstanding athletic achieve-ments, but academic excellence as well. Student athletes who maintain academic averages of 3.0 or better on a 4.0 scale in both academic semesters are named to the Academic All-Confer-ence team. This group annually averages well over 800 students.

Each year, the President’s Cup is awarded to the school that accumulates the most points throughout the academic year in sports that are sponsored by the USA South. In 2004-05, the President’s Cup was changed to have one winner for men’s sports and one winner for women’s. In 2005-06, the Conference began awarding a men’s, a women’s and an overall President’s Cup.

HOME OF THE SCOTSFinished in 2009, the Covenant Baseball Field is one of the most beautiful baseball facilities in the southeast. The ballpark is located on the south end of campus and just a few steps away from the softball field. The park features spacious dugouts, oversized bullpens, and roomy dimensions (LF/RF - 325’, CF - 400’). In the summer of 2010, permanent bleachers were added behind home plate.

The playing surface is one of the best kept in the region, thanks to the hard work by the entire Covenant baseball program. Opposing players, coaches, and umpires rave about the quality of the well-maintained infield dirt and grass.

The facility played host to the NCCAA Mid-East Regional tournament in 2010 and has also hosted numerous local high school games.

The Scots have a 79-47 record at the field in the six seasons of the ballpark’s existence. Covenant went 17-3 at home in 2014. The first Covenant player to hit a home run at the field was Taylor Oldham on March 7, 2009 against Union (Ky.) College.

In 2014, the indoor hitting facility (right) was completed inside the Highlands Fieldhouse. The facility has two hitting areas and is used by both baseball and softball programs.

DOUG SIMONS• Head Coach• 10th year

Doug Simons will enter into his 10th year as head baseball coach at Covenant in the 2016 season. Simons is now the second longest tenured head coach at Covenant be-hind 22-year women’s soccer head coach Mark Duble.

Simons came on staff in 2005 to restart the intercollegiate baseball program which had been dormant since the 1980s.

“We are a Christ-centered program,” Simons said about his program. “We want to give the young men in our program the opportunity to grow in Christ, get a great education and develop into players who could play at the next level.”

Simons came to Covenant after spending 18 years in professional baseball. He played in the major leagues with the New York Mets (1991) and the Montreal Expos (1992). Most of his professional career was spent in the minor leagues where he accumulated 72 wins, 20 complete games, and made three all-star teams (1989 California League, 1990 Southern League, and 1995 Texas League). Simons played in the minor league organiza-tions of the Minnesota Twins, Montreal Expos, Kansas City Royals, and Houston Astros.

He also played professionally overseas in Venezuela, Puerto Rico, Dominican Republic and Italy. After his playing days ended in 1997, Simons spent four years as a pitching coach in the New York Mets organization and then four years as a full-time area scout with the Texas Rangers.

In 2014, Simons led his program to its first-ever conference title and an appearance in the NCAA Tournament. The Scots claimed the USA South regular season title on the final day of the season and earned the conference’s automatic berth into the NCAA Tournament where they were seeded sixth in the South Regional. Eight players from that team were selected to an All-USA South team, including five first team selections.

In his nine years, Simons has had three NCCAA region player of the year award winners and six NCCAA All-Americans. Off the field, Simons has had 61 conference all-academic performers, including 15 in the USA South for the 2014-15 academic year. Four of his teams have earned conference Sportsmanship Awards, in-cluding the USA South’s honor in consecutive seasons in 2014 and 2015.

In 2007, Simons’ program had its first varsity season since the 1980s. The Scots produced just six wins in each of the first two years and 15 wins the third year. Since 2010, Covenant has finished at or above .500 five times with a modern era record 28 wins in 2013. The 2013 team was selected to its first NCCAA World Series appearance.

Simons is a 1988 graduate of Pepperdine University, in his native California. During his three years at Pepperdine, Simons accumulated 28 wins, 18 complete games, five shutouts and, at one point, pitched 30.2 consecutive scoreless innings (still an all-time Pepperdine record). Drafted twice (1987 with the Los Angeles Dodgers and 1988 with the Minnesota Twins), Simons started his professional career after getting his bachelor’s degree in Education.

He and his wife, Julie, have been married 26 years, and have four children, Brian (Covenant ‘13), KC (Covenant ‘15), Kirsten and Paige. The family lives on Lookout Mountain, Ga., and attends Rock Creek Fellowship Church.

BEN WHARTON• Assistant Coach/JV Head Coach• 8th year

The 2016 season will be Ben Wharton’s eighth with the Covenant baseball program and head coach Doug Simons. He spent his first two years at Covenant as a part-time assistant and has been the full-time assistant for the last six seasons.

Wharton is also the head of the Athletic Marketing department at Covenant.

A former professional baseball player, Wharton began part-time as the Scots outfield coach and strength and conditioning coach in 2008 before being hired full-time in 2010. Wharton played two seasons in the Independent minor leagues, in 2007 with the Bay Area Toros (Continental Baseball League) and in 2008 with the Reno Silver Sox (Golden Baseball League).

Born and raised on Lookout Mountain, Wharton graduated from Chattanooga Christian School (2003) and Bryan College (2007), where he studied History and Bible. “Ben is top notch and a person that I wanted in this program ever since I got here,” Simons stated. “He is an integral part of molding this group of young men, not only into better base-ball players, but into Godly men, as well.”

In December of 2013, Wharton completed his master’s degree in Sport Management from Georgia Southern University.

He and his wife, Stephanie (former Covenant volleyball player and ‘06 alum), reside on Lookout Mountain, Ga., with their sons Zeke and Josiah. The Wharton family attends Lookout Mountain Presbyterian Church.

SCOTT WHITTED• Assistant Coach• 3rd year

Scott Whitted is in his third season as an assistant for head coach Doug Simons in 2016.

Whitted is originally from Pennsylvania where he played baseball at Temple University in Philadelphia. At Temple, Whitted played under NCAA Hall of Fame coach James “Skip Wilson. The Owls were a top 20 program and had made an appearance in the College World Series.

After his sophomore year at Temple, Whitted transferred to Covenant. At Covenant, he was a dual athlete in soccer and baseball earning MVP awards in both sports. While at Covenant, he was scouted by the Kansas City Royals and awarded NCCAA All-District awards his junior and senior years.

After graduating from Covenant, he then turned his passion for baseball into a passion for coaching. He has coached in various arenas from private and public high schools to coaching his son’s in Little League and travel ball teams. As a high school coach, he won a state championship and had numerous appearances in the state playoffs.

Most recently, Whitted spent three years as the Head Assistant and Pitching Coach at Emmanuel College in Franklin Springs, Ga., from 2011-13. Emmanuel made appearances at the 2012 and 2013 NCCAA Division I World Series, finishing 3rd in the nation in 2012. During those two seasons, Emmanuel pitching staffs set consecutive season records for the lowest team ERA.

Whitted welcomes the opportunity to coach at his alma mater and be a part of the ministry at Covenant. He is married to Lisa (Bryan) Whitted (Cov-enant ‘84) and the couple has four children, Caitlyn, Kelsey (Covenant ‘13), Chapman (Covenant sophomore) and Jackson.

KC SIMONS• Assistant Coach• 1st year

KC Simons is in his first year assisting the baseball program after playing for the Scots for four years.

Simons, son of head coach Doug, was a four-year starter for the Scots having played in 166 career games with 163 starts. He hit an even. 300 for his career with 127 runs and 40 stolen bases. Simons spent nearly his entire collegiate career at shortstop where he holds modern era program record in career assists (538) and is second in double plays turned (95).

Simons was an All-USA South third team selection in 2014 as his play helped the Scots to a conference regular season championship. As a freshman in 2012, he earned Great South All-Freshman and NCCAA Mid-East All-Region honorable mention honors. He also collected USA South All-Academic honors in 2013-14.

Simons earned his Bachelor of Arts degree in Interdisciplinary Studies from Covenant in May of 2015.

SEASON PREVIEW 2016 BASEBALL MEDIA GUIDE

PREVIEW: Youthful Baseball Scots Look for Rebound Season

LOOKOUT MOUNTAIN -- With a tough 2015 season behind them, the Covenant baseball team looks to rebound in the 2016 cam-paign that begins on Saturday with a doubleheader at Greensboro.

This year’s Scots, under 10th-year head coach Doug Simons, feature plenty of talent offensively, defensively and on the mound. 26 of the team’s 37 players are either freshmen or sophomores giving Simons one of his youngest teams in the last few years.

“I think we have talent and depth to be contenders in the conference, we just have to play with confidence,” Simons said. “We have three good arms for the weekend. We have potential to score a lot of runs. Have team speed at the top and bottom part of the lineup, so it’ll be fun to see what the guys can do.”

Even with the young talent, Covenant returns a few of its top players.

Senior Garrett Kriston will anchor the starting pitching staff once again. Kriston has compiled a 3.48 earned run average through his first three seasons and will look to continue that trend in 2016. Fellow senior Jonah Paul broke into the starting rotation last year and appears to be the leading candidate to be the third starter in weekend series.

Besides Kriston and Paul, the Scots will look to young arms to round out the rotation and spots in the bullpen. Freshman Matt Reitz was impressive in the fall and Simons expects him to be the No. 2 starter, while freshmen Ryan Gosney and Drew Bradley will vie for the fourth spot for midweek games.

Page 15: 2016 Covenant Baseball Guide

2016 BASEBALL MEDIA GUIDE SEASON PREVIEW

“Reitz has been very impressive so far. He was our Pitcher of the Fall and is picking up where he left off in the spring,” Simons noted. “Gosney and Bradley both have good stuff and will give us a solid fourth starter.”

The bullpen returns senior Alec Mitchell and could also see significant contributions from junior Taylor Bloye and sophomore trans-fer Matt Herrin. Herrin comes to Covenant after one year of playing at Division II Montevallo. Additionally, freshman Grant Kierpa offers more depth in the pen- something that Simons has not had the luxury of for the last couple of seasons.

Outside the pitching staff, Simons and assistant coach Ben Wharton have had to be creative with their returners and how to best fit in young talent. Gone is the middle infield combination of KC Simons and Will Cleland, though Simons will serve as an assistant coach this year, and the Scots also lost outfielder Scott Gillespie to graduation.

The first solution was moving senior Perry Rigby to shortstop. Rigby has played third base for his entire collegeiate career, but Simons is confident that Rigby can make the adjustment and play the position well. Rigby’s bat will also be key to the Scots’ lineup. Sophomore Joel Johnson will move from catcher to third base. Johnson is already familiar with the position as he has played there frequently during the summers in Sweden. Second base is open for competition as several players will fight for the opportunity to start.

Caleb Bloye, the USA South Rookie of the Year in 2015, will be back at first base and in the middle of the order. Bloye hit .347 a sea-son ago with 28 RBIs on his way to earning the conference’s top rookie award.

Catcher, left field and designated hitter are spots where Simons has some options. Alex Kerr, Forrest Hunter and Z Arima are the top returners behind the plate, but Arima will not join the team until after the Covenant basketball season concludes. Freshman Jonah Carignan will also add some depth behind the plate.

Moving from center field, where he started in 2015, to right field will be junior Luke Harvey. Sophomore Devin Cerrato should settle in as the starting center fielder, while left field is open currently. Simons believes that sophomores Jay Epperson and Kyle Delk along with freshman Donny Lewis will compete to win the left field spot, or he could platoon the trio. Overall, the outfield will feature three players that all have the talent and speed to play center field.

At DH, Simons hopes to be able to use a catcher that is not starting or one of the left fielders.

Team speed is something that Simons is excited about when it comes to his batting lineup. The top and bottom of the order will fea-ture players with the ability to put pressure on the defensive with speed. The middle will be headlined by power threats with Bloye, Rigby and Kerr.

Aside from the talented freshman class mixed in with the returners, Simons is excited about how his team has come together al-ready. “I think this year, we have some of the best team chemistry we’ve had. The guys are going to play hard and for each other,” the longtime head coach said.

The team’s motto for the year bears that out even further: No complaining. No excuses. Work hard. Have fun.

“It’s long but it fits our attitude coming into the year,” Simons added about the team’s mantra heading into the season. “We want to work harder than anyone else and grind it out. With the young talent we have, we want to establish that now and have it carry on throughout their careers.”

After opening on the road at Greensboro, the Scots have a three-game home series against Emory & Henry on Feb. 12-13. Home games this year will feature live stats for all games, while live video will be offered for select contests.

2015 SEASON REVIEW 2016 BASEBALL MEDIA GUIDE

2015 SEASON REVIEWLOOKOUT MOUNTAIN -- The Covenant baseball team couldn’t quite recapture the same type of success it has enjoyed over the last few years in 2015. The Scots finished under .500 for the first time since 2009 with a 15-23 record and an 11-16 mark in the USA South.

Despite the tough year, Covenant still had some impressive individual perfor-mances and games. From walk-off wins to players setting career and single-game records, the 2015 year had its share of highlights.

GAME OF THE YEAR: Covenant 4, Methodist 3 (Feb. 14, 2015)

There were several memorable games in 2015, but this contest in mid-February stands out the most. Covenant was off to a 4-0 start to the year facing the even-tual USA South regular season champion in Methodist. In the first game of the series, Covenant took a 2-1 victory on an Andrew Beck walk-off single in the 11th inning.

On Saturday, Beck would play the role of hero again.

Covenant fell behind 2-0 entering the bottom of the seventh before scoring two runs on RBI singles from Alex Kerr and Caleb Bloye. Methodist regained the lead at 3-2 with a sacrifice fly in the top of the ninth.

In the bottom of the ninth, Forrest Hunter led off with a single and was pinch run for by Devin Cerrato. After a sacrifice bunt and a line out, the game came down to Beck once again. The senior delivered a two-strike, walk-off, two-run home run to left field giving the Scots a 4-3 victory.

The walk-off homer was just the second in modern program history and the first since 2013.

Other games considered for the Game of the Year include: Covenant’s 15-14 win at Sewanee on April 7 that saw the Scots comeback from 10 runs down; Beck’s walk-off single in the 11th inning vs. Methodist on Feb. 13

TOP PERFORMERS:

It was a senior and a freshman that led the way offensively for the Scots in 2015. Scott Gillespie capped his career with another outstanding year, while freshman Caleb Bloye was impressive in his rookie campaign.

Gillespie, a second team All-USA South selection, hit .358 with six home runs and 27 RBIs on the year. He surpassed the 200 career hit plateau on April 18 and ends his career with 204 hits, second most in program history. The senior was a two-time USA South Player of the Week honoree this season garner-ing the award on Feb. 8 and again on April 13. Gillespie’s career totals include a .349 batting average, 131 RBIs, 10 home runs, 48 doubles and 58 multi-hit games. He holds the career program record for walks with 96.

Bloye earned the program’s first USA South Rookie of the Year honor after hitting .347 to go along with a home runs and 28 RBIs. The freshman led the team with 18 multi-hit games and nine multi-RBI games. Bloye was named USA South Rookie of the Week on April 20.

Senior KC Simons hit over .300 for a second straight year as he finished with a .305 average. Simons tallied 18 walks and 11 stolen bases. The highlight of the year for Simons was a solo home run, the first of his career, against Berry on March 17.

Sophomore Alex Kerr came on late in the year to hit .302 with 12 RBIs. In his first year as a consistent starter, sophomore Luke Harvey compiled a .266 aver-

age and led the team with 17 steals. Senior Will Carlton was tied for third on the team with 17 RBIs to go along with a pair of home runs.

Junior Perry Rigby hit two home runs and drove in 15 at the plate. Defensively, Rigby set the program record with 11 assists in a 9-3 win over Greensboro on April 11.

On the mound, senior Micah Mabe ended his career with a 4-5 record in 12 starts and 71.2 innings. Mabe threw three complete-games and combined for one shutout. He wraps up his career second in program history in wins (17), innings (225.1), games started (39) and strikeouts per nine innings (7.47).

Junior Jonah Paul led the team with a 5-3 record. Paul made 10 starts and com-piled a 4.45 ERA in 58.2 innings. Senior Spencer Smith made six starts on the year and threw his first complete-game on April 11 against Greensboro.

2013 - NCCAA World Series

The 2013 team became the first in program history to reach the NCCAA World Series. It appeared as if the season was over for the Scots after finishing third in the NCCAA Mid-East Regional, but the Scots were selected as an at-large and seeded 10th at the NCCAA World Series in Mason, Ohio. Covenant went 0-4 in pool play at the World Series.

2014 - NCAA Tournament

After claiming the USA South regular season championship, the Scots earned the conference’s automatic berth to the NCAA Tournament. It marked the first time in Covenant athletics history that a team had qualified for an NCAA championship tournament. Led by eight all-USA South performers, Covenant was placed in the South Regional as the No. 6 seed. The Scots went 0-2 in the regional which was hosted by Piedmont College in Demorest, Georgia.

After losing to top-seed, and 13th-ranked, Shenandoah 11-3 in the first round, the Scots were eliminated from the tournament with a 5-3 loss to Rhodes.
