M c G i n n i s ’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 classroom or on the field. They will always strive to be a bet-ter 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.”

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

The Jacksonville State soft-ball team moved into its cur-rent home, University Field, in the Fall of 1995 and played its first game there on Feb. 15, 1996, a doubleheader sweep of Tennessee State.

Formerly the home of the Gamecocks’ baseball team, University Field has been renovated to make it one of the more unique home softball facilities in the Southeast. A brick back-stop and a covered batting cage were built prior to the 2003 season, and in 2004, a permanent outfield fence was constructed, finishing the transition that turned University Field from a base-ball stadium to a softball-only facility.

With a seating capacity of 1,000, University Field can be one of the toughest places to play in the Ohio Valley Conference and was the host site for the 2005, 2008 and 2009 OVC Tournament.

Jacksonville State athletics continued to dominate on the field of competition as the Gamecocks won numerous Ohio Valley Conference Championships, while also excelling in the classroom, during the 2009-10 year. The Gamecocks won a total of five Ohio Valley Conference Championships, with the volleyball team winning its first-ever NCAA region-al match. The Gamecock baseball and softball teams also advanced to the NCAA Regionals, while the football team posted the best record in the conference.

JSU Head CoaCH

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

In McGinnis’ 18th 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 six seasons in the OVC, the Gamecocks have won over 70 percent of their games, including almost 80 percent of their confer-ence matchups.

Over the past three years, McGinnis has seen the hard work she and longtime assistants Mark Wisener and Julie Boland pay off on the national level. In 2008, she took the program one step higher

on the national scene after rolling into the NCAA Regionals, where the Gamecocks earned two wins over Florida State before falling to Alabama in the regional title game on ESPN2.

They climbed another rung of the ladder in 2009, ousting James Madison, Nebraska and Tennessee to claim the NCAA Knoxville Regional crown and advance to the NCAA’s Tuscaloosa Super Regional. The most decorated season in JSU’s Division I athletics his-tory 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 tour-nament.

After a second-place finish in the OVC in 2010, JSU’s sixth-straight campaign in which it has finished in the league’s top two, the Gamecocks swept through the OVC Tournament in Martin, Tenn., to advance to the NCAA Atlanta Regional, JSU’s third-straight NCAa appearance.

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

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

During her tenure at JSU, McGinnis has accumulated an overall record of 586-320 (.647). Her accomplishments are plentiful, includ-ing 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 and 2008, as well as OVC Tourney Championships and automatic NCAA appearances in 2008 and 2010. 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 coach Mark Wisener, has led the Gamecocks to 14 consecu-tive trips to the Conference Tournament and seven 40-win seasons, including a streak of four straight from 2003-2006.

In just seven seasons in the OVC, JSU has won 127 of its 164 (.774) conference games and four league titles while placing 41 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.

Since 2002, the Gamecocks have attracted regional attention, having been ranked in the South Region poll several times in nine consecu-tive seasons.

McGinnis has coached 78 All-Conference and All-Freshman team members and seven 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 wom-en’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 15th sea-son as the Gamecocks’ assistant soft-ball coach, where his energy and efforts toward the JSU program have added to the success the Gamecocks have seen in the past decade.

In 13 seasons as a full-time assistant, he has helped JSU to an overall record of 492-271, including three OVC regu-lar season titles, two OVC Tournament crowns and three-straight trips to the NCAA Tournament 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.

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 short-stop 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 start-ed 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 pro-gram,” 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 10th year as an assistant coach on the soft-ball staff, but her involvement and dedication to Jacksonville State goes back more than that decade.Boland has seen great success from the dugout of her alma mater, helping Jana McGinnis to three Ohio Valley Conference crowns, two OVC Tournament titles, three-straight trips to the NCAA Regionals 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 graduate 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 coaching 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 homer-uns with 10, ninth in runs batted in with 100 and sixth in stolen bases with 26. Boland is also in the top five on JSU’s all-time lists in runs scored with 142 (fifth) and at-bats with 627 (sixth). She is also 16th on Jax State’s single-season runs list with 42. Boland graduated in 2002 with an Education Degree. She has since received her Master’s Degree in Counseling from JSU.

Dr. William A. Meehan begins his 12th year as President at Jacksonville State University, but his association with the University dates back

to when he enrolled as a first-time freshman in 1968.

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

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

President for Academic and Student Affairs, Acting Vice President for Academic Affairs and Acting Vice President for Institutional Advancement.

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

“I’m very proud of the fact that we have won 42 Ohio Valley Conference Championships and two Women’s All-Sports Trophy since joining the Conference in 2003,” said Meehan. “We have claimed conference titles in football, rifle, volleyball, men’s tennis, women’s ten-nis, men’s golf , women’s golf, softball and baseball. We have enjoyed post-season competition in many of our sports, which brings national exposure and prestige to our University. As a matter of fact, we have won 12 more OVC titles than any other school in the Conference since 2003.

“Our student-athletes excel, not only on the fields of competition, but also in the classroom,” added Meehan. “I’m proud to say that we have more than 130 of our student-athletes with a 3.0 grade point average or higher.”

In 2011 and beyond, Dr. Meehan hopes to more accu-rately accomplish the institution’s mission, which means integrating traditional academic programs with career-oriented programs for the students of Alabama. His vision for the future is based on the philosophy that

The NCAA Board of Directors is comprised of 18 Division I CEO’s, with each member serving a four-year term. Other duties of the board include establishing the budget, general policies and strategic plan for the NCAA.

Entering its 61st 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 2008, for only the second time in the past decade, the Conference expanded by adding Southern Illinois University Edwardsville as the league’s 11th member. The move expanded the OVC’s geographical footprint to the St. Louis market and marked the first change in membership since expanding to the state of Alabama (Jacksonville State, Samford) in 2003.

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 ath-letics director at Eastern Kentucky, and Kelly Thompson, the public relations direc-tor 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 governed the Conference, long before presidential 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, soccer, 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 charter members Eastern Kentucky University, Morehead State University and Murray State University, along with Austin Peay State 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.

Quick Facts About Calhoun County

The Home of

Jacksonville State University

Near Atlanta, Near Birmingham, Near Perfect!Tucked into the rolling foothills of the Appalachian mountain range in Northeast Alabama, Calhoun County is a growing business center, yet still evokes an atmo-sphere of small-town America. We are a tranquil com-munity with a fabulous climate of four distinctive seasons, full bloom summers, and brilliantly colored falls. In every direction there are tree-covered mountains, deep canyons, lush valleys, and underground springs. And yet, if you begin to yearn for big city life, we are only 60 miles from Birmingham, and 90 miles from Atlanta.

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

Although our slogan reads, near Atlanta…near Birmingham…near Perfect, our citizens will tell you that the commitment to caring for others combined with a strong work ethic and community spirit makes “Calhoun County…the perfect” place to live.

THE HiSTory

Academic Affairs JSU seeks to be recognized as the premier regional, comprehensive institution of higher learning in the Southeast. We aspire to be noted primarily for our focus on students, the provision of selected academic and professional programs recognized for their excellence, and a geo

graphic and culturally diverse faculty and student body. Our educational programs are designed to prepare students for the marketplace of the future and citizenship in a world economy.

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 facilities and equipment 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 instruc-tors: 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 autho-rized 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.
