McNeese won its first outright Southland Conference title and second overall in school history in 2011 with a 70-69 home victory over Lamar on March 5. The game came down to the last seconds as Kendra Wells sank a baseline jumper with 3.6 seconds left which proved to be the game winning basket. The Cowgirls began their championship season with a 76-51 road win at Texas A&M-Corpus Christi. The Cowgirls went on to win their first six conference games which is the best conference start in program history and its 14-5 overall start is the best start in 14 years (1996-97). The Cowgirls fell 73-74 in overtime at Central Arkansas for its only league loss of the season. After that loss, McNeese quickly got back on the winning track and defeated Sam Houston State on the road before winning six straight home games, a road win at Southeastern La. before closing out the regular season with the win against Lamar. McNeese didn’t lose another game until its loss to National Champion Texas A&M in the NCAA Tournament. The Cowgirls ended the season with a 15-1 conference record. The 15 victories are a school record and went undefeated (13-0) at home. McNeese produced a 12 game winning streak during the season which ties the longest in school history with the 1980-81 team.

BROOKS DONALD WILLIAMSHEAD COACH- 9th Season

Passion, dedication, and enthusiasm are just a few words used to describe McNeese State’s winningest coach Brooks Donald Williams. Williams, who enters her ninth season as head coach of the Cowgirls, became the school’s all-time leader after a 79-74 road win at Sam Houston State, giving her 132 career wins. Williams guided McNeese to an 18-14 record in 2015 and its seventh Southland Conference Tournament appearance. After taking over a program

that didn’t have a winning record in nearly a decade, Williams has posted a 110-57 record since 2010 and led McNeese to five consecutive postseason tournaments including two NCAA Tournaments and three WBI Tournaments. Williams’ energetic and hard working demeanor have been the backbone in establishing McNeese as a force not only in the Southland Conference, but throughout the country. With a fiercely competitive Williams at the helm, the Cowgirls have posted 20 or more wins in three of the last five seasons, narrowly missing their fourth straight 20-win season in 2014 with a 19-14 record after graduating two of the programs greats, twin sisters, Ashlyn and Caitlyn Baggett in 2013. In her nine year stint, Williams has produced an overall career record of 141-117, averaging over 17 wins per season. After inheriting a team in a troubled APR situation, success in the classroom has been a focal point for the highly motivated Williams since her arrival in 2007. McNeese has produced four Southland Conference Student-Athlete of the year winners, Allison Baggett (2014) and Ashlyn Baggett (2011-2013), 10 Southland Conference All-Academic Team selections, and an impressive 100% graduation rate for players that have exhausted their eligibility. Williams has been a master at skill development during her tenure at McNeese producing 16 SLC All-Conference selections, seven SLC All-Tournament team selections, two SLC Tournament MVPs, one SLC Newcomer of the Year selection, and nine All-Louisiana selections. McNeese has won 70% (60-26) of their Southland Conference games since 2010 and ranked #1 in the SLC in scoring defense from 2010-2012. A true innovator, Williams has been instrumental in marketing her program and creating a truly exciting basketball atmosphere in Lake Charles. Under Williams, attendance has more than tripled since 2010, and her Cowgirls own the top ten home attendance records in program history, highlighted by the 4,089 fans that witnessed a highly competitive game versus LSU on December 16, 2011. Giving back to the community is one of the cornerstones of the McNeese

women’s basketball program. Williams and the Cowgirls have participated in numerous community service activities including the Ethel Precht Breast Cancer Walk, Habitat for Humanity, Buddy Ball, CADA, Special Olympics, Rowdy’s Readers, Junior League’s Fit Kids, Derby for Dollars, FCA Night of Champions, American Cancer Society Walk, Mall-0-Ween, Zydeco Festival, Lake Charles Senior Center Clean-up and the JD Bank Toys for Tots drive to name a few. In 2014, senior Cowgirl Netanya Jones received national recognition at the Women’s Final Four in Nashville, TN for her community service efforts by being named to the Allstate/WBCA Good Works Team.

She will assist with recruiting, scheduling, scouting, marketing, parent relations, campus relations, motivational videos and handouts along with many other duties. Brenita and husband Kevin are co-founders and co-owners of KBJ Academy. The couple was featured in the Houston Chronicle in January as a

‘Couple a winning team on and off San Jac court.” The Jacksons have had successful stints at Lon Morris College, Cisco College and most recently at San Jacinto College. They are coming off a 23-9 season and a trip to the Region XIV tournament semi-finals for the first conference tournament win in over thirty years for the program with the Lady Gators. Brenita is a former Southland Conference standout (Southeastern Louisiana) and professional player, was named Region XIV Coach of the Year for her coaching efforts during the 2014-15 season. She is known for revitalizing and creating winning cultures. She is a relentless and proven recruiter, player and community developer and practice and game coach who is driven to help student-athletes excel on and off the court. “We are extremely humbled by the opportunity to work for such a hard working, smart and genuine woman,” Jackson said. “Everyone on her staff has an infectious passion for winning and mentoring young women. I look forward to building on the tradition already started at McNeese.” In 2015, she was named Coach of the Year and also coached the conference freshman of the year, an all-conference honorable mention selection and an all-region selection. The team was nationally ranked in the top 25 for the first time in school history seeing a ranking as high as ninth in the nation. She also recruited the first two players to represent San Jac to be selected to play in the NJCAA All Star Game. Prior to San Jacinto College, Brenita had a brief stint at Cisco College. While at Cisco, Jackson had 100 percent graduation rate, boasted a much-improved 3.1 team GPA during the fall semester, had an all-conference selection and was selected to coach the winning West team for the Mineral Wells All Star Classic.

nation by the WBCA for a team GPA of 3.2. Under Brenita’s watch, the Lon Morris women’s basketball program boasted a 100 percent sophomore graduation rate. She holds the Lon Morris record for the best winning percentage after winning 37 games in two seasons. Jackson began the school’s first mentor program and fundraising campaigns for her program and also implemented the program’s first successful summer basketball camp. Brenita spent two seasons as an assistant coach at Lon Morris prior to being named head coach. As an assistant, she helped the team advance to two consecutive regional tournaments, and had six all-conference selections. Eight of her players went on to play at the next level, including three to National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Division I schools. Jackson has also coached the Dallas Diesel junior summer basketball team and the Aabyhoj Junior Club team. Brenita prepped at Cedar Hill High School (Cedar Hill, TX) where she was a starter on a squad that reached the Texas regional semifinals. She was recruited to play at Lon Morris, where she led her team to the Region XIV conference championship game and the best single-season record in Lon Morris College history which was later broken her first year as the head coach of the program. She was named to the all-conference and all-academic teams, and was the first women’s basketball player at Lon Morris to sign a NCAA Division I scholarship. While at Southeastern Louisiana, Brenita helped the team reach the Southland Conference Tournament in each of her two years, and led the squad to become the East Division Conference champions in 2007 for the first time in school history. She earned all-conference, all-Louisiana, all-academic honors while with the Lady Lions. She went on to play professionally in Aarhus, Denmark, where she also coached a junior club team to an undefeated season and three tournament championships. She then returned to Dallas in 2008 to coach the Dallas Diesel Junior Club. Brenita holds a Bachelors of Business Administration degree from Southeastern Louisiana University and a Masters in Coaching and Athletic Administration from Concordia University (Irvine, Calif.). She is currently a member of the Women’s Basketball Coaches Association. She has served on the WBCA Carol Eckman Committee, WBCA Convention Focus Group and was a speaker at the 2015 WBCA Final Four roundtables on player development. “Brenita’s experiences are incredible,” said Williams. “She brings so much passion, knowledge and innovation. The culture she and Kevin created at each of their coaching stops was truly special. She has called the shots on the sidelines for six years and has had great success. She has a special poise about her as well as an understanding of the attention to detail it takes be successful. She has been a standout in our league as a player. I think most importantly, I’ve witnessed the way she cares for her student-athletes and treats them as a priority. She has the same vision we do for guiding players to become strong, successful young ladies. Our girls and coaching staff are thrilled to welcome her to our Cowgirl family.”

HALL OF FAME

Tangela McAlister (1992, 1993)

Inducted 2006 Tangela is the latest of the Cowgirls to earn all-American honors, having been named to the Basketball Times squad following the 1992-93 season. She only played two years for the Cowgirls, coming from the junior college ranks, but during those two seasons she led McNeese in scoring and rebounding and wound up seventh on the school’s all-time scoring chart with 1.140 points.

Twice she was named to the all-Southland Conference and all-Louisiana teams and was a two-time team MVP. During the 1991-92 season she averaged 21.9 points per game while leading the Southland Conference and ranked nationally.

Vicky Chapman (1974, 1975)

Inducted 1985 Vicky was the first standout basketball player for the Cowgirls, competing during the first years of McNeese women’s basketball. In those first two years of 1975-76 and 1976-77, the Cowgirls only played 40 games and played as an independent. Chapman played in 39 games and scored 989 points for a 23.0 average, which is the top career average for a Cowgirl. She was a two-time most valuable player

and an all-Louisiana selection. Besides leading the team in scoring in both seasons she also led in rebounds. Her 15.8 average for the 1975-76 season continues to stand as a school record. She played three seasons of professional basketball, served as an assistant coach at McNeese and is a teacher on coach in the state system.

Pat Jean (1980-83) Inducted 1996 During a four year career with the Cowgirls, she set just about every team record. She still holds the school records for points scored (2,461) and rebounds (1,571). She also ranks second in the state of Louisiana in career rebounds and is seventh in points scored. Jean was a four-time all-Louisiana selection and an all-Southland Conference pick for the only year that she played in the conference. In 1983, she also led the conference in rebounding with a 13.7

mark. She continues to hold 14 McNeese State records.

Ann Roubique (1979-82) Inducted 2001 She was a two sport standout in basketball and softball and a four year letter winner in both. She also spent six years as an assistant women’s basketball coach and three years as tennis coach. In basketball, she was a point guard and at one time held the school record for career assists with 260. Twice she led the team in free throw shooting accuracy and concluded her career with 797 points and a 2.0 assists average. In softball, she was the team MVP in 1979 with a

.439 batting average and seven home runs. She was also a three time all-Louisiana. After her coaching career at McNeese, she took over the head coaching position at Cy-Fair High School in Texas where she has developed one of the top girls programs in the state.

The McNeese State Hall of Fame was founded in 1980 by former sports information director Louis Bonnette. The Hall recognizes those who have distinguished themselves in athletics at the University. Membership in the Hall now numbers over 100. Bonnette serves

as the chairman of the Hall of Fame committee which includes Matthew Bonnette, Bruce Hemphill, Keri Ange, Theron McClendon, Johnny Suydam, Ron Hayes, Pam LaFosse, Dr. Daryl Burckel and Bob Fuhrer. The Hall of Fame is located in the Jack Doland Fieldhouse.

Margie Hinton Radleman (Coach)

Inducted 2015 Margie Hinton Randleman was instrumental in getting the Cowgirl basketball program on the map. During her five seasons at the helm (1978-82), her teams won a total of 94 games and posted two 20-win seasons. Her best year came in 1981 that saw her squad finish the year 23-5 behind the play of McNeese Hall of Famer Pat Jean. She averaged 19 wins a season as basketball coach (94-58) and coached

two of the top four teams with the most wins in a season (23 in 1981 and 22 in 1980). She was also the head volleyball coach for the Cowgirls in 1975 and 1976.

Bruce HempHillAthletic Director

Bruce Hemphill is in his third year as athletic director for McNeese after the former associate AD at the University of Wyoming and assistant to the AD at the University of North Carolina became the ninth athletics director in school history in August of 2013. “Bruce understands the role athletics plays in the larger university environment and he understands the

difficulty we face with the athletic budget and the importance of increasing revenue through private sources and auxiliary means,” said McNeese President Dr. Philip Williams. The first two years under Hemphill was an eventful one as McNeese’s athletic programs excelled both on the playing field and in the classroom. Academically, McNeese set a school record in the 2013-14 sport season by having five players named as the Southland Conference Student-Athlete of the Year for their respective sports. The program also led all conference schools in the 2014 spring semester with 21 student-athletes compiling a perfect 4.0 grade point average. And Cowgirl softball player Alana DiVittorio became just the second player in the sport to earn Capital One Academic All-America honors. McNeese received the Southland Conference Academic Progress Award for the 2014-15 for posting the highest APR score in the league. McNeese football was the only team recognized from the Southland Conference as the recipient of the Football Championship Subdivision Athletics Directors Association (FCS ADA) APR Award. Athletically, McNeese finished fourth out of 13 teams in the Commisioner’s Cup Standings - the highest placing since finishing fourth in the 2002-03 season. It’s also the sixth straight year McNeese has been the highest finishing school among Louisiana SLC league teams. Ten of the school’s 16 sports programs finished fifth or higher in their respective sport standings. In the 2013-14 sports season, McNeese finished fifth out of the 14 SLC schools for the 2013-14 SLC Commissioner’s Cup standings. The Cowgirl softball team won a school record 40 games en route to its second consecutive league championship and the Cowboy football team won 10 games and qualified for its league-record 15th FCS playoff appearance. In addition, the men’s and women’s basketball teams as well as volleyball, tennis, baseball and softball, all qualified for the league postseason tournament. During his two years as Director of Athletics, Hemphill worked with the McNeese administration to gain the support of legislation, boosters and private donors for the new $44 million Health and Human Performance Complex that will also become the home for McNeese men’s and women’s basketball and volleyball teams. The Sulphur, La., native has 26 years administrative experience at the collegiate and high school levels. He supervised 10 of 17 programs offered at a major Division 1 university and was responsible for budget oversight, game operations, facilities, personnel, compliance, team travel and recruiting. He earned his bachelor’s and master’s degrees from Louisiana State University where he was a three-year letterman in football and won All-Academic Southeast Conference honors at wide receiver. His professional experience began at LSU where he was a graduate assistant and assistant football coach. In 1984, after serving as the supervisor for health and physical education for the Louisiana Department of Education, he returned to collegiate athletics and served for two years as an assistant football coach at Louisiana Tech University. In 1987 he became the recruiting coordinator at North Carolina State University. From 1989-1990 he served as the assistant recruiting coordinator at the University of South Carolina. He joined the athletics department staff at the University of North Carolina in 1990 and served eight years as assistant to the athletics director and director of recruiting. From 1999-2003 he was associate athletics director at the University of Wyoming. In 2003 he returned to North Carolina and accepted a position as athletics director at a 4A high school, the largest classification in the state. Hemphill has two sons - James, 20, a junior basketball player at the United States Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland, and Jack, 16, a junior in high school; and a daughter, Hayden, 19, a freshman at SMU and is a member of the school’s Crew (rowing) team.

The Burton Memorial Coliseum Complex is under the operation of the Calcasieu Parish Police Jury and has four full-service buildings that has been undergoing renovations since the 2012-13 season. The Coliseum was constructed in 1976 with tax money voted on by the residents of Calcasieu Parish on land donated by the late W.T. Burton. The Coliseum itself is a domed arena with permanent seating for 6,500 and temporary seating for another 2,000. The roof of the dome is 105 feet high, with over 24,000 square feet of concrete floor space and the building is air conditioned and heated. The H.G. Chalkley Room, a banquet-style room in the coliseum, can seat 200 people comfortably and is available for any number of activities. Another part of the Burton Complex is the 160,000 square feet of floor space in the Livestock and Exhibit Building. A massive roof covers four acres of excellent facilities for beef, swine, sheep and horses, as well as a judging area, additional pens and show office.

Each livestock area has its own grooming area, complete with water and electrical service. The fourth part of the complex is the Burton Agricultural Arena, a 50,000 square foot, covered arena with seating for 1,000 people. The facility is excellent for equestrian and rodeo events with sound and lighting, restrooms and a concession area. The four parts of the complex can be utilized together or separately and work well together. The entire Complex is situated on 65 acres and has parking for 3,500 vehicles. An added convenience is the recreational vehicle hookups available for 275 units. All hookups have electricity, water and sewerage. The Coliseum is located approximately three miles South of the McNeese State University campus.

Shante’ Perry was a two-time All-SLC pick during her four year career at McNeese. Perry scored her 1,000th point against UT-Arlington on Feb. 11, 2009 and ended her career as the school’s ninth all-time leading scorer. In her senior season, she led the Cowgirls in scoring and ranked second in the Southland Conference with 15.7 ppg. She ranked second in the SLC with 2.3 three-pointers made per game, third with an 82.6 free throw percent. Perry ranked among the nations best in points per game, three-point percent, field goal percent, three-point field goal percent and three-point field goals per game. She scored in double figures in 24 games and set a McNeese and tied a SLC record with nine three-pointers made in the Cowgirls’ 71-66 victory over Louisiana Tech (Jan. 3, 2009). In that game, she also tied a McNeese single game record for points scored with 39.

Sonny Watkins and Bridget Martin served as co-head coaches for four years (1990-94). During that time they were one of a few co-head coaches in the nation. The duo guided McNeese to three Southland Conference Tournaments and produced two All-Southland Conference players in Robin Daniels and Tangela McAlister. Both players garnered individual honors as well. Daniels was named the league’s “Freshman of the Year” in 1992 while McAlister was named the SLC “Newcomer of the Year” that same year. In 1993, McAlister was named to the Basketball Times All-America Team, only the fourth and last McNeese player to become an All-American. Watkins later served as the Universities Athletic Director from 1995-2007 while Martin went on to serve as head coach for seven more years before being named McNeese’s Associate AD for Compliance and Senior Woman Administrator in 2002, titles she still holds to date.
