Season Outlook Head coach Brooks Donald Williams enters her fourth season at McNeese with a team that has several upperclassmen who have plenty of playing experience. The Cowgirls will look to rebound from a 7-22 record last season that saw the Cowgirls struggle with injuries to key players. The Cowgirls return four of five starters and top five scorers from a year ago. “ We are coming off a rough year with injuries and with players taking a year off from basketball. We’ve had a good summer and off-season and things have really worked out for the best.” The Cowgirls return two seniors, four juniors, one sophomore, and have added four newcomers. The Cowgirls will get the services of redshirt freshman Liz Kingham and twins Ashlyn and Caitlyn Baggett. Seniors Kiara Johnson and Ne’Aisha Anderson, are members of Williams’ first recruiting class. Both have shown tremendous improvements and will be looked upon for leadership on and off the court. “Both of these young ladies have been instrumental in this program’s development on and off the floor. They are our leaders and recruiters for the community, the team and for McNeese. I am so anxious for them to have incredible seasons.” Johnson returns for her senior year after leading the Cowgirls and ranking second in the SLC with a 48.7 field goal shooting percent. Johnson was second on the team in scoring with 12.9 ppg. and rebounds with 7.0 rpg. She averaged 4.1 offensive rebounds per game last season and was named to the

SLC honorable mention team as well as the league’s Steve McCarty Citizenship Award. “Johnson has improved leaps and bounds and has done so much over the last three years to improve this program. She has been an amazing leader for our team.” Anderson, played in 27 games with five starts as a junior. She averaged 3.1 ppg. and made 24 three-pointers and shot 66.7 percent from the field. Look for her to possibly break into the starting lineup in her senior season. The returning juniors are Kendra Wells, Raiyawna Gatlin, Ja’Niqua Kendrix, and Candace LaCombe. Wells led the team in scoring (13.9), rebounds (7.9) assists (2.4) and steals 1.9) last season as a sophomore. She was named to the All-Louisiana honorable mention team after scoring in double figures in 21 games. She recorded seven double-doubles and grabbed 10 or more rebounds in nine games. Gatlin played in 29 games and started in 18. She returns as the teams third leading scorer after averaging 7.5 ppg. and a 66.3 free throw shooting percent. Gatlin also averaged 1.6 apg. Kendrix continues to improve her game and will be a threat on offense as well as defense this season. She proved her defensive presence last year after leading the Cowgirls with 21 blocks. She ranked third on the team with 6.0 rebounds per game and second in the team with 2.5 offensive rebounds. She was third on the team with a 41.4 field goal shooting percent. LaCombe makes her way back

to the court after being sidelined most of last season

with an injury. She played in 19 games and was a starter in eight. She ended the season averaging 9.6 points and a 30.3 three-point field goal shooting percent. The Cowgirls added junior college transfers Jordan Hines from Independence Community College and Martika Hull from East Mississippi Community College. Hines helped her team to a 22-9 overall record as a sophomore and averaged 5.0 ppg. and 7.5 apg. She led the Jayhawk Conference in assists. Hull averaged 15.5 ppg., 8.8 rpg, 2.3 steals per game and shot 57.0 percent from the field as a sophomore. As a freshman, she led her team to the Junior College National Tournament and was named to the Region 23 All-Tournament team. The only sophomore returning from last season is Adrienne Minor. Minor has worked hard in the offseason to improve her game and she will see more playing time than last season. Minor averaged 2.4 ppg. and 2.9 rpg. as a freshman. She played in 28 games and earned three starts. Freshman redshirt Liz Kingham will finally play her first collegiate basketball game after spending the last year and a half on the sideline due to an injury. Kingham suffered here injury during preseason workouts last year and sat the sidelines all last year. The Baggett twins (Ashlyn and Caitlyn) return to the team after a redshirt season last year. Ashlyn led the team with a 39.0 three-point field goal percent and was second on the team in scoring 10.7 ppg. during the 2008-09 season. Caitlyn led the team with 74 assists (2.4 per game)

and was fourth on the team in scoring with 8.4 ppg. during the 2008-09 season. “We are very positive right now and as a coaching staff we feel that our program is at really good place right now.” McNeese will begin their season on the road for its first two games. The season opener is Nov. 12 at Southern Miss, Williams’ former team before being named head coach at McNeese State. The game has a noon tip-off time and Williams is looking forward to returning to Hattiesburg for an opportunity to face her former mentor. The Cowgirls will travel to New Orleans for a Nov. 16 game before hosting Texas College in its home opener on Nov. 20. McNeese will travel to Alabama, UL-Lafayette and Norfolk State and Memphis in non-conference games. The Cowgirls will also take part in the Long Island Turkey Classic where they will face Long Island in the opening game Boston University and Colgate are the other two teams in the tournament. The Cowgirls will host Southern (New Orleans), UL-Monroe, University of the Southwest and Centenary in home non-conference games. Southland Conference play will begin with three consecutive home games with the SLC opener set for Jan. 8 against Texas A&M-Corpus Christi. The Cowgirls’ game at Northwestern State on Jan. 22 will be a SLC TV game, the first for McNeese. The SLC tournament is scheduled for

March 8-12 in Katy, Texas.

BROOKS DONALD WILLIAMSHEAD COACH

“We are looking forward to special things here at McNeese. We are a passionate group of

players and coaches who believe in each other and believe we can win.”

Brooks Donald Williams has made an impact on the Cowgirl basketball program the past three years and enters her fourth season with a team that has plenty of upperclassmen and playing experience. On the court, Williams has led the Cowgirls to the Southland Conference Tournament twice (2008, 2009), and the 14 victories by the Cowgirls in 2009, including a victory over three-time National Champions Louisiana Tech, are the most wins since the 1999-2000

season. The Cowgirls shot a school record, led the Southland Conference (for the second straight year) and ranked 76th in the nation with a 71.8 free throw percent during the 2008-09 season. The Cowgirls also ranked second in the SLC with a 34.3 three-point field goal percent that year. Off the court, Williams and the Cowgirls have participated in numerous community service activities including the Ethel Precht Breast Cancer Walk and the Jeff Davis Bank Toys for Tots drive for the past three years. Williams has ignited a fan following in the community, speaking to groups about her passion and motivation about the revival of the program. Williams’ community and local recruiting efforts have increased attendance 138% in two seasons. Williams was named one of Southwest Louisiana’s Up and Coming Under 40 recipients by the Times of Southwest Louisiana and Fusion Five Magazine this past year. In her first season, Williams guided the Cowgirls to a 10-21 record and second place tie in the East Division after being picked to finish sixth in the preseason polls. Williams led the Cowgirls to victories in four of their last six games that season and a Southland Conference Tournament bid. Williams’ 2007-08 squad broke seven McNeese records (six team and one individual), tied two, and set a Southland Conference record with 16 three-pointers made in a road victory at Lamar. The Cowgirls also handed the Cardinals their first home loss of the season that night. The Cowgirls also upset longtime national powerhouse Stephen F. Austin and eventual Southland Conference Tournament champion and NCAA participant Texas-San Antonio. McNeese ended the season leading the league in free throw shooting percent, ranked second in three-point field goals made and assist-turnover ratio, and ranked third in three-point field goal percent. Williams, McNeese State’s ninth head coach, brought interest and excitement back to the Cowgirl program in her first season and continues to build something special at McNeese. In her first full recruiting season at McNeese, Williams continued to show why she is a proven recruiter by signing the Louisiana 3A and 5A state MVP’s and the Northeast Louisiana “Player of the Year”. Most recently, Williams signed the 2009 Louisiana Sports Writers’ Miss Basketball and Class B outstanding player and MVP, along with two local all-state players and a national junior college scoring leader. A native of Jennings, La., Williams spent three years at the University of Southern Mississippi. Prior to her stint with the Lady Eagles, she spent one season at the University of Memphis and three years at the

University of Arkansas-Little Rock. A proven recruiter, Williams served as recruiting coordinator at all three universities. She signed several prep standouts throughout her recruiting years and all three recruiting classes at Southern Miss ranked among some of the best in the nation. She signed the Arkansas “Player of the Year”, Mississippi “Player of the Year”, a junior college All-American, as well as ten Top 100 players in the country. While at Southern Miss, Williams helped the Eagles improve its program each year and went 15-15 her last season with a 9-7 record in Conference USA. Her 2005 class consisted of both the Mississippi and Arkansas prep player of the year as well as a junior college All-American. Her 2006 and 2007 recruiting classes included Louisiana all-state performers from Acadiana High, Jena High, Dominican High and Dutchtown High School. Between college stops, Williams served temporarily as head coach at St. Thomas More High in Lafayette, La. As a prep player at Jennings High, Williams earned All-State, All-Parish and All-District honors. She was a four-year starter and played in the Louisiana High School Athletic Association all-star game, serving as team captain. Her Jennings squad won four straight district titles. Williams was also a member of the Acadiana Stars AAU program during her prep days, participating in state and national tournaments. She was a member of the Lady Bulldogs squad at Mississippi State University, from which she holds a bachelor degree, but had her playing career sidelined due to an injury. Williams is the daughter of Jennings community members, David and Brenda Donald and the granddaughter and great niece of Dan L. Donald and Walter “Bunk” Donald, former Jennings business leaders and owners of W.B. Donald Chevrolet and Cadillac and founders of Jeff Davis Bank & Trust Co. Williams’ uncle, Dan Donald, currently serves as President of Jeff Davis Bank & Trust Co. Williams has one brother, Seth Donald, who resides in Shreveport and owns his own State Farm agency. She has three nieces, Mary Brooks, Eliza and Mae Donald. Williams’ family coaching mentor is her uncle and godfather, Doug Fowler. Coach Fowler, a 2008 Mississippi Association of Coaches Hall of Fame inductee is an extremely active leader of Fellowship of Christian Athletes, is a former coach and Mississippi Association of Coaches executive director who served the coaching profession for over 40 years in the high school and collegiate ranks. The 32 year old is married to Tyler Williams of Memphis, Tn. Tyler currently serves as Marketing Director for Jeff Davis Bank.

Question & Answer Session With Coach WilliamsQ: What does it mean to you to be a Louisiana native coaching at McNeese State?A: “I have South Louisiana in my blood. I am extremely proud of my hometown of Jennings, the state of Louisiana and the people in Southwest Louisiana that have guided, loved and supported me to this point in my life.

I am extremely fortunate to be here in Lake Charles to corral the community and the university to support me in “Building a New Tradition.”

Q: What are you looking for in a student-athlete you are recruiting?A: “I am looking for student-athletes who have a passion for the game. Young ladies that want to work hard to be winners on and off the court. We are looking for girls of great character who believe in a vision and believe in themselves to conquer and accomplish anything.”

“ We are very excited that Brooks is now the head coach at McNeese State. We are proud to see another Mississippi State graduate in the coaching ranks. Brooks is a very creative, hard-working young lady who fi nds a

way to get it done. I appreciate her initiative, energy and enthusiasm.”

The state of Louisiana is conveniently organized into fi ve distinct regions (Greater New Orleans, Cajun Country, Plantation Country, Crossroads, Sportsman's Paradise), each offering a different experience. It’s part of the cultural geography that makes this a great place to live. Louisiana is one of the nation's largest producers of cotton, sugarcane, rice, sweet potatoes and pecans. The state is also a major producer of soybeans and corn. The biggest land-based industry in the state is forestry, with an economic impact from paper-making and wood products greater than all other crops combined. Poultry is the largest livestock industry, followed by dairy and beef cattle. Louisiana is also the nation's largest producer of alligator hides and crawfi sh. Louisiana's approximately 3,650 manufacturing units employ some 190,000 wage and salary workers whose annual earnings are $1.9 billion. The state annually produces nearly fi ve billion dollars worth of products, including petroleum, chemicals, plastics, clothing, wood products, industrial alcohol, wallboard, cement, seafood, glass, drugs and many more. Louisiana has a semi-tropical climate. Variations in daily temperature are determined by distances from the Gulf of Mexico and, to a lesser degree, by

differences in elevation. The average annual temperature for the state as a whole is 67.4. January is the coldest month (average 50.7), and July and August the warmest (average 82). Snow is rare in southern Louisiana, but occasionally falls are recorded in the northern parts of the state. Average annual rainfall is 55.45 inches.

LAKE CHARLES The fi rst people to settle the lake were Mr. and Mrs. LeBleu of Bordeaux, France. They arrived in 1781 and secured their home six

miles east of the present site of Lake Charles, living in peaceful coexistence with several tribes of Indians. This area originally settled by the LeBleu's is now known as LeBleu Settlement. Other pioneers quickly ventured to Lake Charles. Among them was Charles Sallier who married LeBleu's daughter, Catherine. The Sallier's built their home on the lake, in the area now known as Lake Charles. After Charles Sallier built his home in this area, the lake became known as Charlie's Lake. By 1860 this area was being called "Charleston" or "Charles Town." Settlers at the turn of the century acquired property from the Indians or they homesteaded the Rio Hondo lands. The Rio Hondo which fl owed through Lake Charles was later called Quelqueshue, an Indian term meaning "Crying Eagle" and still later Calcasieu. Little is known of these early residents except that they were a mixture of English, French, Spanish and Dutch. On March 7, 1861, Lake Charles was incorporated as the town of Charleston, Louisiana. The growth of the city was fairly slow until Captain Daniel Goos came in 1855. He established a lumber mill and schooner dock, now Goosport, and promoted a profi table trade with Texas and Mexican ports by sending his schooner down-river into the Gulf of Mexico. Most of the wood which built the city came from Goos' mill. Until the arrival of Goos, Jacob Ryan dominated the lumber industry. Ryan convinced the state government to move the parish seat to Lake Charles. Later that year, Ryan and Samuel Kirby transferred the parish courthouse and jail to Lake Charles, at that time called Charleston. Six years after the city was incorporated, dissatisfaction over the name Charleston arose. On March 16, 1867, Charleston, Louisiana, was incorporated into the town of Lake Charles.

The City of Lake Charles is conveniently located on Interstate-10 between Houston, Tx. and New Orleans, La. Our sandy beaches are nestled on the Calcasieu River just 30 miles upstream from the Gulf of Mexico. Lake Charles is connected to the Gulf by means of a deep-water ship channel and is the seat and port of entry of Calcasieu Parish. It is no mystery why Lake Charles and Southwest Louisiana are referred to as the "Festival Capital of Louisiana." With more than 75 fairs, festivals and special events each year, our area has celebrations down to an art form - complete with food, music, lights and laughter. Contraband Days is one of Louisiana’s largest festivals and the City of Lake Charles' oldest festival. Contraband Days is a 12-day festival/carnival extravaganza fi lled with savory cajun food, family fun and festivities, and is attended by over 200,000 people annually. Each year during the fi rst two weeks in May the city offi cially celebrates the legend of the pirate Jean Lafi tte with its Contraband Days celebration. History tells us that Lafi tte and his band of pirates once sailed the area's waterways and are said to have buried Lafi tte's Contraband treasure somewhere in the vicinity of the lake. The festivities kick off every year with a pirate ship bombardment to "take control of the city" at the seawall of the Lake Charles Civic Center. A gang of rowdy and unruly buccaneers led by Jean Lafi tte himself overruns the blazing cannons of the local militia, raises their "Jolly Roger" fl ag, captures the Mayor and forces him - with swords drawn - to walk the plank into the swirling waters of the lake.

Dr. Philip C. WilliamsPresident In 1938, Louisiana founded McNeese State University, then known as the Lake

Charles Junior College, as a division of Louisiana State University. The opening session of the college began on September 11, 1939. The following fall, the school changed its name to John McNeese Junior College to honor John McNeese, a renowned South-west Louisiana educator and the fi rst superintendent of schools in Imperial Calcasieu Parish. In 1950 McNeese became a four-year college in its own right and came under the authority of the Louisiana Board of Education. Finally, in 1970, McNeese State University became the offi cial name of the school. The University provides opportunities for continuing education in support of its mission to value lifelong learning. As a member of the University of Louisiana System and a selective admissions institution, McNeese offers degrees through six academic colleges: Business, Education, Engineering and Technology, Liberal Arts, Nursing, and Science. McNeese’s student body comprises over 8,500 students from throughout Louisiana, the United States, and approximately 50 countries. McNeese’s athletic programs are NCAA-certifi ed for competition at I-AA and I-A levels. The soccer team won the school's fi rst ever conference tournament title and appeared in the NCAA Tournament in 2006. The McNeese State University campus in Lake Charles, Louisiana features 68 buildings on 500 acres dotted with live oak trees and azalea bushes. The McNeese community continues to use the three original structures - Kaufman Hall, Ralph O. Ward Memorial Gym (the Arena), and Francis G. Bulber Auditorium. Bulber Auditorium, a striking example of Art Deco architecture, is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. McNeese State University upholds a long tradition of service to the Southwest Louisiana community and the nation. The University’s motto of “Excellence with a Personal Touch” extends beyond the classroom to offering help to others in times of need. During World War II, the campus was the headquarters of the Louisiana Maneuvers, an extensive military exercise to prepare American soldiers for battle. In 1957, the McNeese community gave aid and comfort to the victims of Hurricane Audrey and served as the National Guard’s base of rescue operations. McNeese provided shelter for New Orleans residents and university students fl eeing Hurricane Katrina in 2005. McNeese faced one of its greatest challenges when Hurricane Rita struck in the fall that same year. The storm caused devastating damage to campus facilities and infrastructure. The recovery effort after Hurricane Rita showed the community of Southwest Louisiana the high caliber of McNeese faculty, staff, and students in their commitment to complete the semester and move forward in support of the core values of academic excellence, student success, fi scal responsibility, and university/community alliances.

McNeese State UniversityDr. Philip C. Williams is the sixth president of McNeese State University. He attended public schools in Roanoke Rapids, North Carolina and earned his Bachelor of Arts degree in 1974 as a Morehead Scholar at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, graduating with honors in history. He earned his law degree at the Columbia University School of Law in New York City, with a certifi cate of achievement with honors from the Parker Program in Foreign and International law. During the course of his legal profession, he practiced corporate law and served as administrative vice president and counsel for Sea World, Inc. In 1994, Dr. Williams returned to Chapel Hill to earn his Ph.D. in Health Policy and Administration. Prior to beginning his career in higher education, he served for one year as a post-doctoral research fellow at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta, Georgia. Most recently he was President at the University of Montevallo in Montevallo, Alabama.

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.
