McGinnis’Coaching Philosophy

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

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

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

University Field A Renovated Home For JSU Softball

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

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

University Field A Renovated Home For JSU Softball

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

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

The William Taylor STeWarT STrengTh and CondiTioning CenTer is located in Kennamer Hall and is widely regarded as one of the top training facilities in the Ohio Valley Conference. With more than 6,000 square feet, it is home to a wide array of strength building machines that has played a large role in JSU’s 61 Conference Championships over the last 11 years.

The Strength and Conditioning staff is headed by Scott Austin, who enters his 14th season at JSU in 2015-16. Austin is responsible for the design and implementation of the depart-ment’s entire strength and conditioning pro-gram. In 2014, Austin returned from his sec-ond tour of active duty for the United States Military. He previously served 19 months in Iraq, beginning in 2006 and ending in the fall of 2007.

Also playing a vital role in the JSU Strength and Conditioning department is Ricky Rutledge, a former head football coach at Jacksonville High School. Rutledge enters his tenth season with the Gamecocks.

Former All-American Gavin Hallford enters his fifth season working in the Strength and Conditioning department. He is JSU’s second all-time leading scorer in football with 311 career points.

Jacksonville State athletics continued to dominate on the field of competition as the Gamecocks won numerous Ohio Valley Conference Championships and advanced to NCAA Championships, while also excelling in the classroom, during the 2014-15 year. The Gamecocks won two Ohio Valley Conference Championships and finished fourth in the OVC Commissioner’s Cup, marking the seventh straight year the Gamecocks have finished in the Top 6 in the standings.

Jax State won conference championships in Football and Rifle during the 2014-15 season, while James Hobbs (men’s golf), John Grass (football), and Ron Frost (rifle) each earned OVC Coach of the Year honors.

JSU Head CoaCH

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

In McGinnis’ 23rd season at the helm of the Gamecocks, their head-first dive into the Ohio Valley Conference has resulted in a quick rise to the top. In fact, in their 12 seasons in the OVC, the Gamecocks have won over 70 percent of their games, including almost 80 percent of their con-ference matchups.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

She has now been named the OVC’s Coach of the Year four times (2005, 2008, 2009, 2014) to go along with her 1996 Trans America Athletic Conference Coach of the Year honor.

During her tenure at JSU, McGinnis has accumulated an overall record of 764-428 (.644). Her accomplishments are plentiful, including the 2009 OVC regular season title and the school’s first at-large berth in the NCAA Tournament, as well as its first trip to the Super Regionals. Her 2009 squad also made its first appearance in the national polls, finishing the year ranked as high as No. 21 nationally. She also boasts OVC regular season crowns in 2005, 2008 and 2014, as well as OVC Tourney Championships and auto-matic NCAA appearances in 2008, 2010, 2011 and 2013. Her Gamecocks won the Atlantic Sun Tournament Title and a berth in the NCAA Regional Tournament in 1996. In her early years, she guided JSU to back-to-back A-Sun Western Division Conference titles in 1996 and 1997. She, with the help of long-time assistant coaches Mark Wisener and Julie Boland, has led the Gamecocks to 18 consecutive trips to the Conference Tournament and nine 40-win seasons, including a streak of four straight from 2003-2006.

In just 12 seasons in the OVC, JSU has won 218 of its 297 (.734) conference games and six league titles while placing 67 players on the all-conference squads. Her players have been dominant against their peers. Daniela Pappano was named the 2006 OVC Player of the Year, while JSU also swept the 2005 Player and Pitcher of the Year honors, thanks to outstanding efforts from outfielder Maigin Alexander and pitcher Carly Kellam. Pitcher Ashley Eliasson was named the league’s Freshman of the Year in 2008 before the 2009 campaign saw Nikki Prier and Karla Pittman earn the OVC’s Player and Pitcher of the Year awards, respectively. In 2011, pitcher Tiffany Harbin became the first Gamecock to earn OVC Freshman of the Year honors and she then won OVC Pitcher of the Year honors in 2014, giving the Gamecocks another sweep with Sara Borders claiming Player of the Year.

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

McGinnis has coached 117 All-Conference and All-Freshman team mem-bers and nine Players of the Year, including Ann Shelton in the A-Sun in 1996.

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

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

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

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

Mark Wisener begins his 20th season as the Gamecocks’ assistant softball coach, where his energy and efforts toward the JSU program have added to the success the Gamecocks have seen in the past 19 years.

In 19 seasons as a full-time assistant, he has helped JSU to an overall record of 667-257, including four OVC regular season titles, four OVC Tournament crowns and five trips to the NCAA Tournament in the past eight years and a berth in the 2009 Super Regionals.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

AssistAnt CoACh Julie Boland

Julie Boland begins her 15th year as an assistant coach on the softball staff, but her involvement and dedication to Jacksonville State goes back more than that time frame.

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

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

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

Greg Seitz has

been named as the Director of Athletics at Jacksonville State University, President Dr. John M. Beehler announced on February 26, 2016.

Seitz, who is in his 23rd year in the athletic department at JSU, has served as interim Athletic Director for the last 14 months. This marks his third term as serving as the interim Athletic Director for the Gamecock athletic department.“We are very excited to have Greg Seitz lead our athletic department,” Dr. Beehler said. “Greg is very well respected in the OVC, the NCAA and nationally, and has proven himself while serving in the interim role. We work very well together. With his excellent contacts, he will do an outstand-ing job leading our athletic department into its bright future. I’m pleased to remove the interim title and introduce him as our Athletic Director.”Seitz has been with JSU since 1993, when he began working as assistant sports infor-mation director. In 1999, he became Sports Information Director and was promoted to Associate Athletic Director in 2002, before being promoted to Senior Associate Athletic Director in 2011.“I am extremely humbled and honored to have the opportunity to serve as the Athletic Director at Jacksonville State,” Seitz said. “I would like to thank President Beehler, the Board of Trustees and the entire Jax State family for their trust and faith in me as we continue to move the athletic department forward. It is an opportunity that I do not take for granted, and I will work hard every day to ensure that we continue to be suc-cessful, both in the classroom and on the fields and courts of competition.”During his term as interim Athletic Director over the last year, the JSU football team enjoyed one of its most successful seasons in school history after earning a trip to the FCS National Championship game

and setting numerous attendance records. Both the Jacksonville State men’s and women’s athletics teams were recognized in the final Capital One Cup standings, which honor the nation’s best Division I athletic programs last summer. The Gamecock men’s team finished 61st, while the women finished 71st out of 347 NCAA Division I athletic programs. In the classroom, the Gamecock student-athletes posted a 3.16 cumulative grade-point average during the fall of 2015, representing the highest mark in school history. Additionally, 15 of the 17 sports at Jax State posted a team grade point average higher than a 3.0, which is also the most in school history. “Greg Seitz has been a loyal employee who has stepped in to head the Athletic Department in critical times and he is deserving of this opportunity,” said Mr. Jim Bennett, chair-man of the JSU Board of Trustees. “His proven ability to network with other universities and the NCAA is a valuable asset to JSU.”Seitz has been instru-mental in many of the facility upgrades at Jacksonville State, including renovations at Pete Mathews Coliseum and the lobby of the football field house. Seitz was also involved in the design and addition of the football stadium, and the recent softball sta-dium and dressing room expansion.“Greg has worked tire-lessly for a number of years in the athletic department at JSU, and also worked with the NCAA and AHSAA on several projects,” said Mr. Thomas Dedrick, chairman of the Athletic Committee of the JSU Board of Trustees. “In each capacity, Greg has earned the respect of

both coaches and administrators. We feel that the work that he has done speaks vol-umes, and the knowledge of the University and its culture made Greg the best person for the job.”Seitz, who has served on the NCAA Men’s Final Four Media Coordinator team for the last six years, also has worked numerous NCAA Championships and Alabama High School Athletic Association events over the last 23 years. In 2002, he became the first SID elected as President of the Alabama Sports Writers Association and currently serves as the organization’s secretary and treasurer.

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

tial governance became a national theme.The Ohio Valley Conference sponsors the following sports: baseball, basketball, cross country, football, golf, tennis and track for men, and basketball, cross country, golf, soc-cer, softball, tennis, track and volleyball for women. In addition, the OVC also sponsors the combined men’s and women’s sport of rifle.Now in its sixth decade of competition, the Ohio Valley Conference has grown significantly from its humble beginnings while increasing the number of athlet-ics opportunities it provides for students. Current league representatives include char-ter members Eastern Kentucky University, Morehead State University and Murray State University, along with Austin Peay State University, Belmont University, Eastern Illinois University, Jacksonville State University, Southeast Missouri State University, Southern Illinois University Edwardsville, Tennessee State University, Tennessee Technological University and the University of Tennessee at Martin.

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