PBC ViSion StatementThe Peach Belt Conference is committed to providing through its dependent collegiate

members, a forum for student participation in athletic, academic and co-curricular events under

the auspices of the National Collegiate Athletic Association, Division II. We will exemplify the char-acteristics of a premier intercollegiate conference

that prides itself on the inclusion of students of all demographic groups who wish to participate in a well-rounded sports program. Our institu-

tions, our academic goals, our athletic aspirations reflect a commonality of purpose and a commit-ment to excellence in the classroom and on the

playing field.

PeaCh Belt ConferenCe hiStoryNow entering its 21st year of existence in 2010-11, the Peach Belt Conference has become one of the elite Division II conferences in the nation. Since its inception in 1990-91, the Peach Belt has developed a consistent history of excellence which continues to this day with 30 national championships. Starting with only two championships in 1991, in men’s and women’s basketball, the conference has expanded to 13 championship sports with the addition of women’s golf in the fall of 2009.

The conference traces its roots back to November of 1988 when 11 schools first met in Greenville, S.C. to form a Division II conference. Following a second meeting on Dec. 3, 1989, five of those 11 schools, plus two others, formed the Peach Belt and begin play in fall 1990. The seven charter members of the conference were Armstrong Atlantic State University, Colum-bus State University, Francis Marion University, Georgia College & State University, Lander University, USC Aiken and USC Upstate. The name Peach Belt Athletic Conference was adopted in January of 1990 and modified to Peach Belt Conference in May of 2000.

Augusta State joined the conference in 1991 and UNC Pembroke became the ninth member on July 1, 1992. They were followed by Kennesaw State University on July 1, 1994, Clayton State University on July 1, 1995 and the University of North Florida on July 1, 1997. Kennesaw State and North Florida departed for the Division I ranks in 2005, USC Upstate did the same in 2007, and the conference welcomed in North Georgia College & State University in 2005 and Georgia Southwestern State University in 2006. In 2009-10, the Peach Belt expanded to 13 members, the most the league has ever had, with the additions of Montevallo and Flagler. The two schools also returned a league presence to Florida and broke new ground in Alabama.

David Brunk was named the second PBC commissioner in May of 2007. Brunk replaced Marvin Vanover, who was the first PBC commissioner from 1991 to 2007. Brunk is charged with continuing the strong growth of the conference as its second era begins.

reCaPAugusta State athletics enjoyed a great year in 2010-2011, including a num-ber of teams that achieved success in the Peach Belt Conference and region-ally in Division II.

The women’s cross country team finished as runners-up at the PBC Champi-onship and in fourth place at the NCAA Southeast Regional, led by sopho-more Holly Keeper, who was named First Team All-Conference and NCAA All-Southeast Region for her efforts. The men’s cross country team, compet-ing for the first time in eight years came in an impressive fifth place at the PBC Championship.

The Jaguars men’s basketball team continued their run of success in com-piling a record of 30-4 en route to a PBC Regular Season and Tournament Championship and appearance in the NCAA Southeast Regional Finals. The team was led by the stellar play of seniors George Johnson and Franck Ndongo, who each accrued a number of postseason accolades for their hard work.

In the Spring semester Jags’ sports teams continued achieving at a high level, with almost every team making an NCAA tournament appearance, and the baseball team making a miraculous run to the PBC Championship game only to come up just short of an automatic bid.

The men’s and women’s tennis squads both made it to NCAA South-east Regional play before falling to Peach Belt foes Flagler and Columbus State respectively.

The softball team made it to the PBC Championship game, falling to eventual World Series participant North Georgia, on their way to their 4th postseason bid in the last five seasons.

In addition to the success Augusta State teams had at the Division II level, the men’s golf program, which competes at the NCAA Division I lev-el, completed a historic run to back-to-back National Championships by defeating the University of Georgia in the finals of this year’s tournament.

BaCk to BaCk ChamPSAugusta State won its second consecutive National Champi-onship on Sunday afternoon when the Jaguars defeated Georgia, 3-2, in the Match Play Finals of the NCAA Champion-ships at Karsten Creek Golf Club.

With the victory, ASU became the first men’s golf program to repeat as National Champions since the 1984-85 Houston Cougars, coached by the legendary Dave Williams.

On three consecutive days, ASU took down No. 2 seed, Georgia Tech, the No. 3 seed, tournament host and the top-ranked team in the nation Oklahoma State, and in-state rival Georgia, the No. 5 seed.

“It’s been our rallying cry all year,” Gregory said. “Nobody’s won back-to-back na-tional championships since the mid-80’s and I said ‘Why not us? Somebody has to do it; somebody has to break the streak.’

“These kids probably don’t realize the historical significance, regardless of what sport it is. It’s college golf, maybe its not big-time football or basketball, but they just made history and to be able to do that, win back-to-back National Champion-ships, and to do it in the fashion they did is remarkable. It’s something I’ve never dreamed of; something I can’t believe just happened to us, and that’s exactly what the kids say.”

With the victory, ASU joined the exclusive company of programs with two National Championships such as: Arizona State, Georgia, Michigan, Ohio State, Texas and UCLA.

The victory was the second of the season for the Jags, their eighth top-three finish of the season and their 18th tournament title under head coach Josh Gregory over the last nine seasons.

reCaPThe 2010-11 athletic season proved to be a banner season for Clayton State Laker athletics. When all was said and done, Clayton State finished second in the Peach Belt Conference Commissioner’s Cup standings for the first time in program history. The Lakers garnered PBC titles in men’s soccer and women’s basketball, plus upper-division finishes in men’s and women’s cross country, men’s basketball and women’s tennis.

However, it was the national level where Laker athletics gained complete recognition. The most notable was Clayton State’s first ever national cham-pionship as the Clayton State Laker women brought home the 2011 NCAA Division II National Title with a 35-1 overall record and an unblemished 17-0 mark in PBC play. Head coach Dennis Cox’s squad breezed through the NCAA Division II Southeast Regional and defeated conference rival Lander 76-60 to advance to NCAA Division II “Elite Eight” for the third time in five years.

At the “Elite Eight” in St. Joseph, Mo., Clayton State breezed past both Bentley (84-61) and Shaw (63-46) to set up a national championship showdown against Michigan Tech. After a slow start, the Lakers took control of the contest early in the second half and ran away with a 69-50 triumph for the national title.

But the Laker women’s basketball team wasn’t the only Clayton State team to make waves nationally. Under first-year head coach Le’Trone Mason, the Clayton State women’s tennis team advanced to the NCAA Division II “Final Four” for the first time in program history, and were ranked seventh in the nation in the final ITA Division II Top 50 poll. And head coach Pete Petersen’s Clayton State men’s soc-cer team won its fifth PBC regular season championship and advanced to the NCAA Division II “Elite Eight” for the first time in program history, and finished fifth in the NSCAA Division II Top 25.

Lumpkin, Jr. Center and Columbus State University. The leagues council of athletic directors voted to bring the tournament back to CSU for the first time since 2003. The two-year stint will begin with the 2012 tournament March 1-4.

“We are very excited to be returning to Columbus State and the Columbus, Ga., area,” said PBC Commissioner David Brunk. “The Lumpkin Center is one of the premier venues in the Peach Belt Conference and the community has demonstrated their sup-port for Columbus State and the Peach Belt. The way athletic director Jay Sparks and his staff have prepared to host this event leaves no doubt in my mind that it will be a memorable championship experience for our student-athletes.”

The PBC tournament format will change for the 2011-12 season. The top four teams in each division will, once again, advance to tournament play but instead of the quar-terfinal games being played at the site of the higher seed, all quarterfinal games will be played in Columbus. The format change expands the tournament from two to four days with the four women’s quarterfinal games now scheduled for the opening day of the tournament on Thursday, March 1. Men’s quarterfinals will follow on Friday, March 2 with the semifinals on Saturday and the championship games on Sunday.

Columbus State first hosted the PBC Tournament in 2002 shortly after the Lumpkin Center was completed. The arena seats approximately 4,500 with 2,500 permanent seats in the lower bowl area.

BoBCatS finiSh 1-2Just think what the team score would have been. Former Georgia College golfers Joe Young (2007-11) and Billy Shida (2007-11) spent four seasons to-gether as All-American caliber starters for the Bobcats, and now are making some noise in the professional ranks, finishing 1-2 at the NGA/Hooters Tour Carolina Summer Series (CSS) event at Carolina Lakes Golf Club June 16.

With his former teammate in his rear-view mirror, Cochran, Ga. native Young shot a final-round 68 to finish 10 under and nab his first CSS win.

Young started the final day concerned with former University of Alabama golfer Chip Dea-son, who was two strokes behind. It was Shida’s final-day low round 66 that brought the Berke-ley Lakes, Ga. native from seventh to second.

Young finished at 206, one stroke better than Shida, who ended the tourney on fire, carding birdies on 16 and 17 before a par on 18 left him that single stroke behind.

The NGA/Hooters Tour is the No. 1 recommended developmental tour by more PGA and Nationwide Tour Professionals than any other tour in the country. The NGA/Hooters Tour is the Third Largest Men’s 72 Hole Professional Golf Tour in the United States behind the Nationwide and PGA Tours and has helped hun-dreds of professionals acquire their PGA, Nationwide, and Champions Tour cards. In fact, NGA/Hooters Tour Alumni have won an incredible Twelve (12) “Major” Championships.

reCaPThe Hurricanes enjoyed their most successful year in Division II since making the move from NAIA to NCAA in 2006-07. GSW saw a 27.7 percent increase in wins from 2009-10. Perhaps no turnaround was more prevalent than in men’s basketball where the ‘Canes record went from 7-20 to 20-9 en route to capturing the school’s first Peach Belt West Division regular season title. As a result, GSW grabbed the Player of the Year (Phillip Brown), Freshman of the Year (Colin Slotter) and Coach of the Year (Mike Leeder) awards. The Lady Hurricanes tennis team also made a significant jump in the win column, going from seven victories in 2010 to 13 in 2011, an NCAA-era record for the program. A pair of GSW teams cracked the national polls during the year, as the men’s basketball team enjoyed a five-week stay and topped at No. 16, while the baseball team appeared for the second-consecutive season and earned a No. 30 ranking at the end of March. All-in-all, the Hurricane program captured six Peach Belt weekly honors, eight All-Conference selections and 25 All-Academic awards. Dr. Blanchard Donovan

The Lady Saints set program records in 2010 for most wins with 14, consecutive wins with 11, while also capturing the first-ever postseason victory since entering the NCAA in 2005.

The Saints softball team found themselves in the national spotlight once again, cap-turing a third consecutive Peach Belt Conference regular season and tournament championship, and advancing to the NCAA Division II College World Series for a third straight season. Picking up a school record 53 wins, the Saints finished the year ranked No. 4 in the country and have now been ranked in the nation’s top five for 30 consecutive weeks spanning three different seasons.

SaintS take home make-a-wiSh awardSThe Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC) at North Georgia has been honored with both of the 2010-11 PBC Make-A-Wish awards at the league’s annual meetings in Hilton Head, S.C.

The Saints received both the PBC’s Most Funds Raised honor and the league’s Most Improved Award. For the 2010-11 academic year, the Peach Belt Conference as a whole remained among the most active conferences at the NCAA Division II level in giving to the Make-A-Wish Foun-dation.

North Georgia raised a PBC-record $10,625 for the Make-A-Wish campaign, be-coming the first PBC school to ever reach the five-digit mark with their giving. Not only is it the largest amount any PBC school has ever raised, it is more than double the amount the institution raised last year.

The efforts from the North Georgia student athletes last year granted a local wish to sixteen year old Brittany West who is fighting Acute Lymphoblastic Leu-kemia. Brittany and her family flew to Hollywood last year to meet Miley Cyrus and enjoy a vacation at Univer-sal Studios. In April, Brittany was an honorary captain at a North Georgia softball game and was recognized for bravery as she continues to fight leukemia.

Flagler was second in the overall total raised with $6,340. Seven of the 13 PBC schools raised a thousand dollars or more, bringing the league’s total to a record $24,823. It is the third year in a row charitable giving in the Peach Belt Conference has reached the $20,000 mark.

The Braves, whose previous best performance in the annual standings came in 2008-09 (140th), finished third in the listing among Peach Belt Conference institutions, falling closely behind PBC Commissioner’s Cup Champion Columbus State (44th) and Flagler (T-49th).

On the shoulders of a phenomenal athletic season that saw five of its teams qualify for NCAA postseason berths, UNCP posted its highest finish ever in the final Peach Belt Conference Commissioner’s Cup Standings. Fueled by top-three league finishes in five different sports, the Braves settled into fifth place in the final league-wide tally. Eleven of UNCP’s 16 varsity athletic teams completed their 2010-11 season with winning records, five teams participated in NCAA postseason play and individuals from three other sports earned berths into the NCAA Championships as well.

Further evidencing the UNCP athletic department’s commitment to excellence not only in the playing arena, but also in the classroom, the Braves took home their second consecutive Peach Belt Conference President’s Academic Award. UNCP becomes only the second school to win back-to-back Presidents’ Award which recognizes excellence in academics concerning all of an institution’s student-athletes.

UNCP sent a league-best 112 of its student-athletes to the PBC Presidential Honor Roll. Fifteen of UNCP’s 16 var-sity athletic teams sent multiple representatives to the distinguished honor, with baseball leading the way with 16 student-athletes on the squad. The women’s soccer team had 12 of its athletes grace the distinguished list, with the football and softball teams sending 10 athletes apiece to the laurel. The announcement marked the second-straight year that UNCP reached the century mark with its honorees, including last season’s school record 122 athletes that were decorated with the honor.

Seven of UNCP’s 12 PBC-sponsored teams (does not include men’s & women’s track & field, football, wres-tling) posted team grade point averages of 3.0 or better during the 2010-11 academic year. The women’s cross country team registered an athletic department-best 3.433 GPA, narrowly edging out women’s soccer’s 3.423 GPA.

The women’s golf team captured UNCP’s first-ever Peach Belt Conference Championship on April 12 in Pooler, Ga. First Team All-Peach Belt Conference performer Katja Dammann fired a second-round 72 en route to claiming medalist honors in leading the seventh-ranked UNCP women’s golf team to the title by 23 strokes.

men’S CroSS CoUntryColumbus State Wins Fifth Straight PBC Men’s Cross Country Championship

EVANS, GA - Columbus State’s Meshack Koyiaki shat-tered the course record and helped the Columbus State Cougars to win their fifth consecutive PBC men’s cross country championship on Saturday at Blanchard Woods Park in Evans, Ga., part of the PBC Fall Festival.

UNC Pembroke equaled their best conference finish ever, coming in second while Clayton State finished third. Georgia College was fourth and Augusta State was fifth.

Koyiaki, a junior from Kilgoris, Kenya, broke the course 8k record by over two minutes in a time of 24:13 and became the first runner since Kennesaw State’s Joseph Mutai to win back-to-back conference championships.

He is only the third PBC runner to repeat as champion.

Koyiaki was followed across the line by Nicolas Kering who ran a 24:37 to finish second. In all, Columbus State placed four of their runners in the top seven as David Marley was sixth in 26:12 and Stephen Bowers seventh in 26:17.

Columbus State’s fifth straight championship, won by the largest margin yet, is the second-longest string of consecutive titles, trailing only Kennesaw State who won six in a row from 1994-99.

UNC Pembroke’s Pardon Ndhlovu finished third to lead the Braves to their second-place finish. Ndhlovu ran a time of 25:13 and was followed by Chris Schroll who was fifth in 25:49. A freshman, Schroll was the low freshman runner and named the PBC’s Freshman of the Year.

The second-place finish for the Braves matches their effort of 2005 and 1992. Kevin Clancy finished 13th in 26:53 while Zach Bayless was 17th in 27:13.

Clayton State finished third overall in the team stand-ings as senior Fidelis Mutiso was fourth across the line. Mutiso ran the 8k in 25:40, ahead of Albert Mong’ony who was 11th in 26:33. Charles Anderson was next in 12th in 26:38.

EVANS, GA – The Columbus State women’s cross coun-try team won their sixth straight PBC Championship on Saturday as all five runners scored in the top 10 on the 6k course at Blanchard Woods Park in Evans, Ga.

Most Valuable Player after scoring five of UM’s seven goals including the game-winner in all three PBC Tour-nament matches.

Foster was joined on the All-Tournament team by senior Nathan Archard (Huntsville, Ala./Grissom), junior Phil Jackson (Lincolnshire, England/Queen Elizabeth’s) and sophomore Mike Rinzema (Brampton, Ontario/Cardinal Leger).

Foster got the scoring started for the Falcons in the 27th minute as he was fed a ball by senior Daniel Pelletier (Crestwood, Ky./South Oldham) and found himself one-on-one with the FC keeper. Foster slotted the ball in the bottom left corner to give UM a 1-0 lead.

The game went into halftime with the same 1-0 score. FC outshot Montevallo 6-5 in the first half and each keeper had one save. Just 11 minutes into the second half Foster once again provided the spark for the Falcons as he streaked down the near sideline and beat the FC defense for another one-on-one with the keeper. This time he slotted the ball to the right side and gave UM a 2-0 lead.

The Saints responded just four minutes later as Zach Shanahan fired a free kick off the UM keeper which rebounded to the feet of Pol Berenguer. Berenguer buried the ball into the back of the net to cut the lead to just one.

The Falcons defense held strong for the final 25 min-utes to capture the Falcons first Conference Champion-

ship since 2004 and first in the Peach Belt Conference.

Freshman goalkeeper Brendan Ledgeway (York, England/All Saints) made three saves in the match as he captured his 17th victory of the season tying the UM record for most wins in a season by a goal-keeper. The Falcons

18th victory as a team also ties a school record for most wins in a season.

Foster led the Falcons in shots with four while Will Frand-sen led the Saints with four. Matt Gilman took home the loss for the Saints as he made three saves.

11 seconds into the contest, while Lauren Schenk sent a header on frame four minutes later. In the seventh minute, Casey Smith had a pair of chances on corner kicks, but the Cougars thwarted both attempts to keep the game scoreless.

Columbus State took over from there and scored the game’s first goal in the 19th minute as Jordan McKenzie sent an uncontested serve into the box, finding the head of Stephanie Lowery who connected with the back of the net for a 1-0 Cougar lead.

KC MacEachern followed just two minutes later, taking a pass from Kate Walton and scoring her sixth goal of the season to extend the lead to 2-0. The Lady Saints rallied in the final minutes of the opening half, but never connected on goal to trail by a pair heading into intermission.

Columbus State came out in the second half and continued to extend the lead, scoring in the 53rd minute off a goal from Leslie Mathews inside the left post, giving the Cougars a commanding three-goal advantage.

North Georgia finally jumped on the board in the 77th minute as Lauren Schenk found an opening and fired a shot that deflected off the cross bar and came straight down, hitting the CSU goalkeeper in the back and cross-ing the goal line for the senior’s third goal of the season.

Just when it looked like the Lady Saints could capture the momentum, the Columbus State offense used timely passing and the perfect spacing to come away with another goal, this time Ashley Miller received a touch pass from Emily Husted and Miller fired at the open net to make it a 4-1 game.

North Georgia continued to fight back in the 80th minute as Smith lined up for a corner and skied a serve to the far post, finding Douglass who headed home her seventh goal of the season to cut the lead two a pair once again at 4-2.

North Georgia scrambled, but could not find a way to cut into the lead but became only the third team this season to score more than one goal against the CSU

defense.

The two goals scored in the championship game were the only two Columbus State allowed in the entire tournament, and defensive mainstay Ashton Ziadie was named the tournament most valuable player for the Cougars.

Joining her on the All-Tournament team from Columbus State were Stephanie Lowery, Kate Walton and Catherine Lovin. North Georgia’s Jessica English, Natalie Douglass, and Lauren Schenk were also named All-Tournament.

VolleyBallFlagler Claims Second Straight PBC VolleyballTournament Title

SAVANNAH, GA - The Flagler Saints won their second straight Peach Belt Conference volleyball tournament championship on Sunday as they downed the host Armstrong Atlantic State Pirates 3-0 in Savannah. Flagler takes the crown 25-19, 25-21, 25-21 and earns the PBC’s automatic bid to next week’s NCAA Tournament. Flagler improves to 27-8 on the year while Armstrong Atlantic State falls to 22-14 and will have to wait and see if they earn one of the at-large bids to the NCAAs.

The rematch of the 2009 tournament final began evenly with both teams playing tentatively to begin the open-ing set. AASU’s Amanda Jones blasted a kill to bring the Pirates to within one at 15-14, but that would be as close as they would get as Flagler would finish the set with a 10-5 run.

Tournament Most Valuable Player Dianna Craine had three kills during the stretch and Meg Weathersby closed it out with a kill.

The second set also started close and was tied at 18 fol-lowing a kill by Jones, but an error by Torrie Bevolo and a kill from Rachel Stacy gave Flagler a two-point cush-ion at 20-18. Another Jones kill brought the lead back to one, but back-to-back Pirate errors left the score 22-19.

Brittany Wolf then pushed down a kill for AASU, but Rachel Stacy and Weathersby an-swered for Flagler with kills and won the set on an attack error.

Up 2-0, the Saints wast-ed little time in claim-ing the championship, taking advantage of AASU’s .030 hitting per-centage and seven total kills in the third set. The set was tied at three when Flagler made their move, rattling off four straight points behind the serve of Craine, the first of which was an ace.

AASU was bailed out with a service error, but Flagler got two kills from Stacy and two Pirate service errors to go up 13-7. AASU cut that lead to 15-11 before Flagler exploded once again with a 6-2 run which featured kills three kills from Craine.

Down 21-13, AASU fought back and cut the lead to 23-20 as Flagler committed four straight errors. Jessica Santaniello’s kill capped a run of five straight points and another from Jones forced a Flagler timeout. Coming out of the break, Flagler got to match points with an at-tack error and won the championship on a service error.

Flagler hit .224 as a team in the championship match, including a .429 in the first set. Craine won MVP honors with a team-best 13 kills, hitting .300, with six digs and a block. Weathersby added 10 kills and four digs while Stacy had nine kills. Casey Gnann led the Saints with 12 digs while Rebecca Royal had 25 assists. Flagler had nine blocks as a team.

Armstrong Atlantic State hit .290 as a team in the open-

ing set, but never got above 100 again and finished the match hitting .123. No Pirate reached double-figure kills as Clarke led with eight while Bevolo and Jones had seven each. Megan Pando added 27 assists and Casey Howett nine digs.

AIKEN, SC - Augusta State shot 50% in the second half and hit 81% of their 42 free throw attempts as they won the2011 PBC Tournament Championship on Sunday in Aiken 76-59 over UNC Pembroke. The Jaguars (28-3) earn the PBC’s automatic bid to next week’s NCAA Tournament. UNC Pembroke sees their season come to a close with an 18-11 record after making their first-ever PBC championship game appearance.

Both teams started the game tight and points were hard to come by for the first five minutes. ASU led 9-4 before free throws from UNCP’s Mike Robinson and Nate Priest and a layup from Shahmel Brackett gave the Braves their first lead of the game. The two teams traded that lead five more times over the next four minutes until the score was tied at 15 each with 9:40 to play.

ASU’s O’Neal Armstrong answered with a pair of free throws that left ASU up 37-24 at the half.

The second half was status quo as ASU’s lead shrank to 13 after a Robinson free throw with 17:42 left, but that would be as close as the Braves would get until the wan-ing seconds. Ndongo got a steal and breakaway layup which began a period where the Jaguars were scoring two points for every one for UNCP that left ASU with a 21-point lead, their largest in the game, with 7:22 to play.The Jaguars did that largely at the free throw line, set-ting season-highs in both free throws made and at-tempted. ASU took 21 free throws in each half and hit 18 of them in the second frame, an 86% rate.

UNCP hit 20 of 25 from the line as a team but struggled from long distance, hitting only one of nine three-point-ers in the second half. The 34 total makes by ASU set a PBC Tournament record.

ASU’s Tye Beale led the team with 17 points, hitting 10 of 11 free throws. George Johnson scored 16 and was named the tournament Most Valuable Player. Ndongo finished with 15 and Armstrong 14.

Brackett scored 24 to lead UNC Pembroke, hitting eight of 14 from the floor and all six of his free throws. No oth-er Brave reached double figures as Priest finished with eight and Blakeney led all players with seven rebounds.

their second in three years, both of those also coming with PBC regular-season championships.

AIKEN, SC - Using a 17-4 run over the final 6:42, the Georgia College Bobcats won the 2011 Peach Belt Con-ference Tournament championship over USC Aiken 62-49 and earn an automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament. Georgia College head coach Maurice Smith becomes the first PBC coach to win the tournament title in their first season of their first head coaching position.

The Bobcats received another outstanding performance from senior Chimere Jordan (Gray, Ga.), who scored 26 points and grabbed 10 rebounds. It was her sixth double-double of the season, two coming in the PBC Tournament as the guard picked up Tournament MVP honors.

Fellow classmate and All-Tournament Team selection Dominique Huffin (Tucker, Ga.) was limited to just six points, but they could not have been more important as they all came within the last two minutes of the game.

Despite fouling-out, freshman Krysta Lewis (Woodstock, Ga.) continued her solid play off the bench, scoring 11 points in just 21 minutes for the Bobcats.

Georgia College jumped out to an early 15-4 lead at the 9:58 mark in the first half behind some excellent defense and a patient offensive attack.

The Pacers would cut into the lead, trailing the Bobcats 28-20 at the half. Jordan and Lewis led the Bobcats, scoring 22 of their 28 first half points. USC Aiken would storm back to tie the game 45-45 at the 6:28 mark, eventually grabbing the lead 47-45 on a jumper from fresh-

Trailing by two, 47-45, the Bobcats would go on a 17-2 run to end the game and claim the 62-49 victory.The GC defense was spectacular early on, limiting a typi-cally potent USC Aiken squad to just 21 percent (4-of-19) shooting in the first half. The Pacers would shoot much better in the second half, going 40 percent (11-of-27) from the field.

POOLER, GA - Flagler College fired an even-par final-round 288 to capture its first Peach Belt Conference men’s golf title at the 2011 PBC Champion-ships at Savannah Quarters Country Club on Tuesday afternoon.The Saints began the day with a slim one-shot lead over host Armstrong Atlantic State University and Georgia College. A two-hour and 17 minute rain delay halted the start of three of the final pairings, but by the time the lead groups reached the turn, Flagler

had opened up a double-digit stroke lead. The Saints finished the tournament with an eight-over-par 872, 16 strokes better than surprise runner-up UNC Pembroke, who was the only other school to break 300 on the day with a 297, ending up at 888. Armstrong (890) and Geor-gia College (892) finished fourth and fifth, respectively, while USC Aiken finished fifth.

The individual race was drama-filled as second-round leader Billy Shida of Georgia College and Flagler’s Joel Dahlenburg - playing in the same group - went to the back nine in a head-to-head duel for the individual title. The pivotal hole was the par-3 No. 12, where Dahlen-burg recorded his first career hole-in-one, while Shida recorded a double-bogey for a four-stroke swing.

Buoyed by the ace, Dahlenburg went 3-under on the back nine to finish the day with a 69 to win by three strokes over Shida and teammate Chris Bray of the Saints. Shida never recovered from the double bogey on 12, going +5 on the back nine to slip to second, finishing the day with a 75 and wrapping up the tournament with a two-under-par 214 total.

Jonathan McCurry (216) of UNC Pem-broke and Rourke Van der Spuy (216) of Columbus State each finished tied for fourth to earn All-Tournament honors along with Shida, Bray and Dahlenburg.

The win was also the third straight for Flagler in the Savannah area. The Saints are the back-to-back champions of the AASU Pirate Invitational in 2010 and 2011 - the second competed at Savannah Quarters in February.

The host Pirates struggled through the first nine, turn-ing at +11 and slipping to fourth in the team standings, but Armstrong rallied in the back nine as both Tyler Erick-son and Matt Motes played even-par golf on the back nine to help Armstrong climb back to third. Erickson led the Pirates individually, firing a 74 on Tuesday to finish tied for eighth with a 221 total. Motes also finished with a 74 to tie for 11th individually with a 223 total.

SoftBallNorth Georgia Claim Third Consecutive PBC Title

FLORENCE, SC - Katherine Martin’s three-run home run in the bottom of the sixth broke open what had been a tight game to lead North Georgia past Augusta State 5-2 in the PBC Tournament championship game on Sunday at Freedom Florence in Florence, S.C. The tournament title is the third straight for the Saints, who improve to 47-9 on the season.

Augusta State, playing in their second PBC tournament final ever, the first coming in 2007, fall to 34-18. NGCSU earns the PBC’s automatic bid to May’s NCAA Tourna-ment while Augusta State, with three wins on Saturday to reach the final, is in good position for an at-large berth.But at-large is not what the Jaguars were thinking of when they took the lead in the first inning on Sunday. Kacey Sims drew a one-out walk and was singled to second by Jessica Thornton. Kristen Jones then sent a grounder back to Saints pitcher Sarah Phillips, who gunned down Sims at third, but the relay to get Thorn-ton at second got away and she scored the unearned run.

The Saints answered immediately in the bottom of the first. With two outs, Sarah Johnson singled to left, bring-ing up Pilar Harden. Harden needed to see only three pitches from ASU starter Emily Headrick before sending the fourth over the left-field wall for a 2-1 lead.

The Jaguars tied the game in the top of the third as Thornton reached down on a sinking 0-2 changeup and lifted it over the left-center field fence to tie the game at two.

North Georgia threatened in the fifth as Kayla Martin and Katie Garrett singled to start the inning, then were moved over on a sac bunt from Natasha Willemse. Mar-tin was gunned down at home plate on the next play and ASU got out of the jam on a fly ball to center field.

Following the ASU homer in the third, Phillips (19-4) shut the lights off on the ASU hitters, setting down the next

six batters she faced and only allowing one baserunner until the seventh inning.

North Georgia started the bottom of the sixth off with a Johnson walk and Harden single. ASU made the move to bring in Heather Hughes to pitch. The first pitch she threw was to Martin, who sent it over the left field wall for a three-run lead.

ASU threatened in the top of the seventh, loading the bases with two outs for Thornton. But Phillips ended the game with a swinging strikeout.

Phillips struck out seven in her six innings, walking three and allowing one earned run. Headrick (17-6) took the loss for ASU with four earned runs and no strikeouts in five innings of work.

Harden was the only Saint with multiple hits in the game, going 2-for-3 with two runs and two RBIs. John-son also scored twice with a hit and a walk.

Thornton was 2-for-4 and scored both runs for ASU. Destiny Echols, Sims, Jones and Renae Kimball had the other hits.

beat Jokic, 6-2, 6-3, at No. 5 singles. No. 5-ranked Muller-Wehlau finished things off with a 6-2, 6-3 win over Castillo at No. 1 singles.

Muller-Wehlau was named the 2011 PBC Tournament singles MVP, while Muller-Wehlau and Krtickova were named the doubles MVPs.

BaSeBallUNC Pembroke Captures First Ever PBC Baseball Tournament Title

COLUMBUS, GA - Brian Willis and Braxton Lewis com-bined to scatter nine hits and allow only one run as the Braves won their first ever PBC baseball tournament championship 2-1 over Augusta State University.

With the win, UNC Pembroke earns the Peach Belt’s automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament while improv-ing to 42-10 on the season. Augusta State, appearing in the PBC championship game for the first time in school history, sees their season come to a close with a 25-30 record.

Willis earned his second start of the tournament for the Braves, returning to the lineup after three days’ rest after starting in the tournament opener on Sunday. He ran into immediate trouble as he gave up three straight one-out singles to Jake Sutton, Tristan Toorie and Andy Onufrak to load the bases. With two out, Alex Walker sent a grounder up the middle to score Sutton, giving the Jaguars a 1-0 lead.

UNCP answered in the bottom of the first with both of their runs. Jason Coker took a one-out fastball off the brick wall in right center for a double and then came around to score as the ASU defense suffered a lapse with back-to-back errors that left the bases loaded with one out. Jaguar starter Scott Shipman, also pitching on three days rest, then walked Joe Mangum to score the second run. It would be the only walk Shipman would give up as he got Brad Bridgeman to pop up to third and struck out JJ Williams to end the inning.

There would be no more runs scored in the game as both starting pitchers settled in. UNCP’s Aaron Parnell reached first base in the third inning after strike three

rolled to the backstop, but that would be the last Brave baserunner of the game as Shipman retired the final 17 in a row.Willis was equally as effective, setting down the Jaguars in order in the second, third and fourth innings. In the fifth he issued a walk to Mike Smith, who moved to sec-ond on a bunt and to third on a wild pitch before Willis got Jake Sutton to fly out to end the inning.

Willis issued another walk in the sixth to Onufrak which was followed up by a base hit from Walker. On the play, Onufrak attempted to reach third but was gunned down by a perfect throw from Bridgeman in right field to end the inning.

Willis (W, 7-3) was lifted in the seventh for Lewis, who inherited a runner at second base with one out. The first-team All-Conference reliever got out of the inning with a groundout and a strikeout.ASU had more opportunities in the eighth and ninth innings. In the eighth, Onufrak and Rice collected back-to-back two-out singles but were stranded as Lewis got a strikeout. In the ninth, the Jaguars opened the inning with a single and had the tying run at third with two outs, but Lewis struck out Sutton to end the game.

Lewis was named the tournament MVP for collecting the save, his ninth of the year. He also had two wins during the tournament in his three appearances. Shipman (L, 8-3) took the loss despite tossing the complete game, using 120 pitches to strike out seven with only three hits allowed.

Haley, Coker and Parnell were the only Braves to collect a hit with Mayoz and Parnell driving in the two runs. Coker had the only extra base hit for UNCP with his double in the first.

For Augusta State, Onufrak finished 2-for-3 while Walker and Casey Hanrahan were both 2-for-4. Kevin Dodson had a pair of sacrifice bunts and no Jaguar had an extra-base hit.

The Peach Belt takes a

approach to Fall Championships

FestiveThe roar of the crowd echoing through the trees of Augusta, Ga., is nothing new. Sports fans the world over have come to expect that singular phenomenon each April amid the Georgia pines, but to hear those same roars on an early Saturday morning in November was quite out of the ordinary.

The unknowing spectator who followed the sound of the cheers may have been shocked to see not golfers but…cross country runners?

With hundreds of fans lining the course that Saturday morning (in-cluding many of the men’s and women’s soccer players who played the night before and would play again the next day), Peach Belt Con-ference Commissioner David Brunk had to nearly shout to be heard. “You see? This is what it was all about!”

‘This’ was the 2010 Peach Belt Conference Fall Festival, the first multi-sports championship event in league history. Months of work culminated in the event Nov. 5-7 at Blanchard Woods Park in Evans, Ga., as the men’s and women’s soccer championships and men’s and women’s cross country champi-onships were held at the same facility on the same weekend.

“I don’t know why, I just felt faster today,” said Georgia College’s Daniel Horseman after the 2010 Peach Belt Confer-ence cross country championships. “Something about having all these people here really turned on the adrenaline.”

“Our team was completely surprised by it,” remarked Columbus State Athletics Director Jay Sparks. “They were all talking about how much energy it gave them.”

The festival began that Friday with a banquet that brought together all 420 student-athletes in the largest PBC gath-ering ever. Only a handful of facilities in the Augusta area were big enough to accommodate the event, and Warren Baptist Church’s Simmons Hall was crammed as eight soccer teams and 19 cross country teams gathered. Brig. Gen. Jeffrey W. Foley gave the keynote address, emphasizing the role of team-work in sports and life.

With that message in their heads, the soccer teams took to the upper fields of Blanchard Woods that night. Hundreds of fans came with them, more than 300 on each of the two fields that hosted games simultaneously. Many of

S

the fans were low-body-fat cross country runners who warmed themselves on a cold night in the PBC blan-kets given to each student-athlete as a participant gift.

Less than 10 hours later, the roles of spectator and participant were re-versed as the cross country teams took to the hilly course. The throng of fans was unprecedented, with people lin-ing the course for hundreds of yards at a stretch and willing their runners on. Columbus State’s Meshack Koyiaki smashed the Blanchard Woods 8k course record for the men while Britt-ney Skiles did the same on the women’s 6k course.

But there were more than fans at Blanchard Woods that morning as part of the PBC’s continuing commitment to community-engagement projects. The conference hosted both a 5k/1k Fun Run and its annual Breakfast with the Champions soccer clinic.

Sunday’s soccer championships moved down the hill into the Blanchard Woods Stadium, which will be the site of the 2012 and 2013 Division II soccer champion-ships. With a live video webcast covering the action for the first time, Columbus State won the women’s title while Montevallo captured the men’s. Many of the cross country teams stayed an extra night to root for their soccer programs.

“The championship experience is something we have always wanted to enhance for our student-athletes,” said Brunk. “That’s how I would judge the success or fail-ure of this festival: by how they reacted to it. And from what I’ve seen and heard from our student-athletes, it has been a tremendous success.”

The PBC Fall Festival was inspired by the NCAA, which began holding multisport championship events in 2004. In fact, the upcoming NCAA Division II National Championship Festival in Louisville, Ky., made the PBC event a possibility because the cross country and soccer schedules were brought into a rare alignment that al-lowed for both conference championships on the same weekend without altering the postseason schedule for either sport.

“The NCAA definitely established the blueprint for how to run a successful festival,” said Brunk. “I’m just so pleased that we were able to bring that kind of experi-ence to a large number of our student-athletes.”

Middle School Programs Receive MoneyStory by Justin Williams, Columbia County News-Times

On Tuesday night, David Brunk's plan to help Columbia County middle school sports came full circle. Brunk, commissioner of the Peach Belt Confer-ence, made a presentation at the Co-lumbia County school board meeting. He announced that the conference, of which Augusta State University is a member, has donated $1,328 toward the county's middle school sports programs.

The money was raised during the Peach Belt's Fall Festival in November. The weekend event at Blanchard Woods Park fea-tured the conference's cross country championship, as well as the men's and women's soccer semifinals and finals. Specifically, the proceeds came from the Fall Festival's 5K/1K Fun Run and Walk. Brunk said that about 50 people participat-ed. In addition, Brunk said the Peach Belt donated eight cases of softballs to the county's eight middle schools.

For Brunk, the idea to help came about after he met with the committee appointed to examine the county's middle school sports programs.

"I had read about the plight of middle school athletic pro-grams and teams in Columbia County," Brunk said in early November. "I thought, 'This might be just the way to really get the Peach Belt more involved in the community and some-thing we could build on for each year.'"

I'd say that raising more than $1,000 in donations is a good start at making a good impression. In November, Columbia County school board members decided not to immediately act on a list of recommendations to restructure middle school sports programs.

The committee was mediated by Sandra Carraway, the school system's deputy superintendent. In November, she acknowl-edged the county's appreciation for Brunk's efforts.

"It's rare that people come to us wanting to help in that re-gard," she said. "So we're really thankful to him."

While $1,328 isn't a massive amount, considering the cost of running even one sports program, this could be the start of something bigger. The Peach Belt's 5K/1K Fun Run likely will gain more exposure and popularity now that it will become an annual event. That could mean more money pouring in for future events. In addition, it could spur other groups to look at the county's middle school sports as a beneficiary.

PBC Hosts Third AnnualWomen in Athletics SeminarThe Peach Belt Conference hosted its third annual Women in Athletics Seminar on Tuesday, Sept. 21, bringing to-gether nearly 90 Division II female student-athletes to learn about professional opportunities for women in colle-giate athletics. Dr. Joni Comstock, Senior Vice President of Championships for the NCAA, was the keynote speaker as student-athletes from 19 DII schools in the southeast region got the chance to interact with a wide variety of profes-sional women in college sports.

“Intercollegiate athletics will always need great leaders,” said Dr. Comstock. “And we need to encourage and include not only talented young men, but talented young women. I have the opportunity to talk to 70 or 80 young women who will be my col-leagues someday and am very appreciative to the Peach Belt for holding this event.”

For the first time, the Peach Belt opened the event to other Division II schools in the southeast region. From Conference Carolinas, King College, Pfeiffer University and Mt. Olive College all sent attendees. The South Atlantic Conference had Mars Hill Col-lege, Newberry College and Wingate University. Paine College of the SIAC also had representatives at the seminar. The 90 student-athletes in attendance was the most in the three years of the event. 12 of the 13 Peach Belt Conference schools were also in attendance.

“I wanted to get as much information as I could about what it takes to make it in athletics,” said Sarah Hebberd, se-nior lacrosse player at Pfeiffer University. “My concerns are about self-branding and networking and sometimes just getting a foot in the door can be the hardest part. Hearing from professional women who are in the sports world and how they took those first steps is really inspiring.”

The seminar began with an interactive panel presentation giving student-athletes the chance to ask questions women in a variety of roles in college athletics. On the panel were NCAA Director of Governance and International Affairs Delise O’Meally; Emily Deitz, Director of Promotions and Licensing for the University of Georgia; Joanna Britz, Manager of Legislation and Research for the Women’s Basketball Coaches Association; Francis Marion head softball coach Stacey Vallee; PBC Director of Softball Officials Betsy Kidd; Jocelyn Glenn, Director of Sports Medicine at Pied-mont College and Maritza Jones, an independent consultant and former staff member at the NCAA.

“I want to talk to them about the fact that in today’s world you have lots of opportunities,” said Dr. Comstock. “ I’m actually going to be doing a bit of a recruiting job to make them understand that we need great people and that they can do so many different things in athletics. I visit four or five of these across the country each year. What I

really like about this one is that it allows these young women to get to know each other and also the coaches and administrators who were nice enough to take some time from their days to bring them here.”

Three Former PBC Student-Athletes Receive NCAA Postgraduate ScholarshipsThree former Peach Belt Conference student-athletes were among the 26 recipients of the Ethnic Minority and Women’s Enhancement Postgraduate Scholarship for Careers in Athletics Program, the NCAA announced. USC Aiken’s Nicole Westphal and Francis Marion’s Brittany Young and Jamie Holmes will each be awarded $6,000 as part of the pro-gram, which awards 13 scholarships to ethnic minorities and 13 more to female college graduates who will be enter-ing their initial year of postgraduate studies.

Brittany Young is a recipient of one of the ethnic minority scholarships, after a standout basketball career (2004-2008) at Francis Marion University. A native of Moncks Corner, South Carolina, Young was named to the Peach Belt All-Conference team her senior year.

Jamie Holmes, a former soft-ball student-athlete at Francis Marion University (2007-2010), is a recipient of one of the women’s scholarships. Holmes, a catcher, was named to the Peach Belt Presidential Honor Roll all four years.

Nicole Westphal was also awarded one of the women’s scholarships after completing her fourth year (2007-2010) as a starter in net for the USC Aiken women’s soccer program. Westphal, currently intern-ing in the USC Aiken athletics department, was also a three-time Peach Belt All-Academic selection.

Developed by the NCAA Committee on Women’s Athletics and the NCAA Minority Opportunities and Interests Com-mittee, the goal of the non-renewable scholarship is to increase the pool of and opportunities for qualified minority and female candidates in intercollegiate athletics.

Armstrong’s Barnwell ties DII Strikeout RecordArmstrong Atlantic State University sophomore righthander Megan Barnwell tied the NCAA Divi-sion II softball single-game strikeout record on Tuesday afternoon, striking out 23 Columbus State batters in a 5-4 11-inning win against the Cougars in a Peach Belt Conference matchup.

Barnwell becomes the seventh pitcher in DII history to notch 23 strikeouts in a game, and the first since Mandy Chandler of Georgia College turned the trick vs. Lenoir-Rhyne on May 14, 2006, in a 16-inning affair. She ties the PBC record and sets a new Armstrong mark in the process, eclipsing the 17 strikeouts recorded by Katya Eronina vs. Edinboro on March 14, 2004.

Barnwell (8-1) hurled 11 innings, giving up five hits and four runs, walking three and striking out the record-tying 23 batters for the victory.

www.peachbeltconference.org

The Peach Belt Conference’s official web site, peachbeltconference.org, reached yet another milestone by welcoming over 1 million visitors from April 2010 through March of 2011. It marks the first time the site had welcomed a million visitors in one calendar year.

“We are very pleased and grateful that so many people have chosen to come to the web site,” said PBC commission-er David Brunk. “It’s a testament to our student-athletes who continue to accomplish great things that capture the imagination and curiosity of the public. It’s our job to see that when a fan visits our site, the information contained there is accurate and up-to-date and I think we have been very successful in that.”

Designed and hosted by PrestoSports, the official web partner of the Peach Belt Conference, the PBC web site was redesigned and relaunched in June of 2010. Since that time, web traffic increased by an average of 23% per month over the previous year resulting in 1,049,098 visits to the site for the past year.

“Another thing we have worked on relentlessly is to keep the site fresh with new content and material,” said com-missioner Brunk. “Existing features such as the Musco Student-Athlete Spotlight have been joined the ‘Where in the World Is…?’ alumni feature presented by All Worldwide Travel, our new PBC Fan Shop through Skor a new PBC Buzz newsletter and new enhanced statistics for men’s and women’s basketball. Those are just the tip of the iceberg for all the new things that we will be doing through the web site in the months to come.”

‘Visits’ is a term denoting a person clicking on the Peach Belt web site. If a fan went to the page on Sunday and then again on Tuesday it would be counted as two visits regardless of how many pages they saw during any one session. The term differs slightly from ‘hits’ which can refer to every file or image seen on all pages over a certain period of time. For the calendar year of April 2010 to March 2011, the PBC site received over 48 million hits.

The month of March was the busiest in the history of the PBC web site with 123,962 visitors. It is the third month in the four-year history of the page (with PrestoSports) that over 100,000 people have come to the page, the first in November of 2010 during the PBC Fall Festival.

Story by David Beall, North Georgia Athletic Department

Former North Georgia women’s soccer player Katie Caughell dismisses the term “heroic” being used to de-scribe her actions when a Forsyth County football player collapsed during practice this summer. Caughell said she just did what she had been trained to do.

“I did what any certified athletic trainer would do and gave Josh the proper care he deserved,” stated Caughell, who earned a bachelor’s degree in athletic training

through the Athletic Training Educa-tion Program at North Georgia, said. “The ATEP program at North Georgia definitely prepared me for the situ-ation. Of course, it was a very scary situation, but I knew it was important to stay calm and in control; if I kept a level head, everyone around me would follow.”Caughell, an athletic trainer for the North Forsyth High School football team through a partnership between the school and North Georgia, had to think fast at an August practice when student-athlete Josh Haddock slumped over and began convulsing moments after complaining to Caughell that he had a headache. She called 911, but Haddock also needed immediate care -- he was having difficulty breathing and was vomiting. Caughell took steps to make sure he could get enough air and wouldn’t choke, continuing until paramedics arrived.

Haddock had to undergo brain surgery and doctors and family members say he may not have survived without Caughell’s actions. He continues to recover and Caughell has visited him in the hospital.

For the Win!Augusta State’s Dip Metress

Gets 300th Career Victory

Augusta State head men’s basketball coach Dip Metress earned his 300th career victory Saturday when his Jag-uar squad held off Montevallo for a 56-50 Peach Belt Conference road win on February 12th.

"A veteran coach once told me, it's not about the X's and the O's, it's about the Johnny's and the Joe's," said Metress, in his seventh season on the ASU bench and in his 15th season overall. "I've been very fortunate to have had some very talented players over the years. All the credit goes to this group of players and to all the guys before them who played for

me."

“Josh’s mom said it was a perfect relay race where no one dropped the baton, and I believe that to be the truth,” Caughell said. “I did my part, EMS did their part, and then the doctors took over and did their part.”

Caughell credits not only the knowledge she gained from her classes at North Georgia, but professors Derek Suranie, coordinator of the Athletic Training Program and the university’s acting associate athletic director, and Jessie Poole with making her ready to face an emer-gency situation.

“Having such amazing teachers, mentors and certified athletic trainers to learn from and emulate is really a big part of why I was able to do my job in a successful man-ner,” she said. “I don’t think I can adequately verbalize how outstanding I believe the ATEP program is at North Georgia.”

Suranie said he is proud of Caughell and the program.

“I can’t tell you the pride I have in my heart when I see a graduate of our program impact another individuals life,” he said. “All the hard work that our faculty/staff and students put in on a daily basis to insure that any situa-tion that arises will be handled professionally and calmly has paid off.”

Caughell, a native of Clearwater, Fla., played for the North Georgia women’s soccer team during the fall of 2006, recording three goals and two assists in 16 games. Two of her three goals were game-winners for a team that went 8-8-2 in their second year as member of NCAA Division II and the Peach Belt Conference.

She was a member of the North Georgia chapter of Iota Tau Alpha, the honor society for athletic training educa-tion, and was president her senior year. She also was the school’s representative to the Georgia Athletic Trainers Association her senior year. She currently is finishing up her master’s degree in public administration.

PBC Announces Partnership with SunTrust Bank The Peach Belt Conference is pleased to announce that the league has reached a partnership agreement

with SunTrust Banks, Inc., to become the Official Bank and Lending Institution of the Peach Belt Conference. Atlanta-based SunTrust provides deposit, credit, trust, and investment services to a broad range of retail, busi-ness, and institutional clients. SunTrust also enjoys lead-ing positions in some of the most attractive markets in the United States, including throughout the geographic footprint of the PBC.

“This partnership is a fantastic opportunity for the PBC to align itself with a like-minded organization when it comes to community engagement,” said PBC Com-missioner David Brunk. “SunTrust Bank, like the Peach Belt Conference and its thirteen member institutions, believes strongly in engaging with the community. The SunTrust tagline is, “Live Solid, Bank Solid” and is right in line with our hope that our student-athletes play solid as they develop on the field and off.”

“Being an active participant and partner within the communities we serve has always been a key element of the way we do business at SunTrust,” said Jenner Wood, Chairman, President and CEO of SunTrust Bank, Atlanta/Georgia Division. “Collegiate sports play an important role in helping student-athletes grow and mature as they test the limits of physical and mental endurance both on and off the field, while also serving as a strong bond and rallying point within a school and the broader community at-large. In that light, we are pleased to partner with the Peach Belt Conference and look for-ward to helping it build upon its commitment to excel-lence in the classroom and on the playing field.”

The new partnership with SunTrust will allow the Peach Belt to implement educational initiatives aimed to enhance the relationships between its institutions and their communities, as well as establish the PBC-SunTrust Minority Postgraduate Scholarship Program, which will provide a $1000 scholarship to a PBC minority student-athlete who is planning to attend graduate school.

47

Applicants will be assessed on a number of criteria, including academic achievement, leadership experi-ences, athletic accomplishments, and a personal goals statement.

Now in its 21st year of existence, the Peach Belt Confer-ence has become one of the elite NCAA Division II con-ferences in the nation. Since its inception in 1990-91, the Peach Belt has a history of excellence which includes 29 national championships and 25 national finalists, and of-fers championships in 13 sports.

Flagler XC Coach Springs into ActionStory by John Jordan, Flagler Athletics

This road trip was supposed to be just like any other road trip the Flagler College men’s and women’s cross country teams had taken all year, except this one was to the NCAA Division II Southeast Region Championships in Charlotte. There was a little added anxiety to each of the runners as well as both coaches to perform at his or her best the next day. Nothing could have prepared them for what happened on the trek north, except for one person – head men’s Cross Country Coach Dave Wil-liams.

The TraveLynx bus was travelling north on I-95 in South Carolina, about 30 miles south of the I-26 connector, when a Mountaineer Sport Utility Vehicle, about 200 yards ahead, swerved in the road and went off into the shoulder and then flipped end-over-end. The car finally landed on its side and slid around about 180 degrees. The bus carrying the Flagler teams pulled over and Wil-liams, who has 16 years of experience of as a battalion chief in the fire department, sprang into action.

“We were the first vehicle to stop right behind (the ac-cident),” said Williams. “Literally before the bus came to a stop I was out of the vehicle and running up the road and jumped up on top. There was a 4-year-old boy in a car seat in the back seat and I got him out and a 32-year-old man was crammed underneath the dashboard on the passenger side.”

After both passengers were extracted from the vehicle, Williams assessed their injuries. The 4-year-old only had some scrapes and abrasions on his legs and the dad had a couple of scratches on his arms and legs, as well as a quarter of an inch gash in his head, which was bleed-ing profusely. The driver indicated he had a brief loss of consciousness.

Meanwhile, the bus driver pulled over to the shoulder and put down flares to help divert traffic. The teams sat on the bank and remained calm. Shortly thereafter, a utility truck with two men pulled over and helped by directing traffic into the passing lane.

An ambulance followed later, but another wreck hap-pened just in front of the original wreck. Williams sent the ambulance to that accident, which stayed there for awhile. Another ambulance made it to the original crash scene to treat the victims.

The driver had commented that it was a lousy vehicle, but has found a new love for it. The car probably saved his life.

Coach Williams and the cross country teams boarded the bus again and made it just in time for a practice run and for the coaches’ meeting.

For his quick-thinking and heroic actions, Williams was presented the Peach Belt Conference Inspira-tion Award at the conference’s annual meetings.

PBC in the ProsEx-Jag Siler Locks Up NBA SpotStory by Chris Gay, Augusta ChronicleIn his youth, Garret Siler dreamed of one day being a doctor. Or maybe he’d be a teacher, like his father, Jerry.“I always wanted to help people,” he said.

Garret Siler now will be able to help people as a role model. The former Augusta State star officially locked up a spot in the NBA on his 24th birthday, when team rosters were required at the league office.Siler is one of three rookies on the 14-man roster.

“It’s got me hungry to stay in the NBA,” he said. “I’m try-ing to make this a 10-, 15-year career.”

Siler, who will wear No. 20, is the first Augustan to play in the NBA since Michael Curry retired in 2005. Siler also is one of a handful of NCAA Division II players in the NBA, joining the likes of Detroit center Ben Wallace.

Siler has seen a meteoric rise in his play over the past six years. In 2004, he entered Augusta State as a little-known, out-of-shape center from Richmond Academy. He finished his collegiate career in 2009 as an All-Amer-ican with the NCAA record for career field-goal percent-age.

“Obviously, from where he was six years ago to now is

a tribute to him,” Augusta State coach Dip Metress said. “It’s a heck of a birthday present.”

Siler persevered after failing to get selected in the 2009 NBA Draft and later getting cut from the Atlanta Hawks training camp. His family told him to keep faith in God.

“We just asked him to stay faithful and stay humble,” Jerry Siler said. “And we asked him just to learn some-thing new every day.”

During the winter, Garret Siler played his first profession-al season for the Shanghai Sharks in the Chinese Basket-ball Association. Now, he’s found a home in Phoenix.

“I’ve really got to grind hard,” he said. “In the minutes I play, I’ve got to give it my all.”

Siler’s main focus is on improving each day. “If you don’t have something to prove, you’ll lose your edge,” he said. “I don’t want to lose my edge.”

Ex-Pirate Horst Receives Big League Call From RedsStory by Chad Jackson, AASU AthleticsFormer Armstrong Atlantic State University pitcher Jeremy Horst has received the call to the big leagues, making Horst the second former Armstrong baseball player to become a major leaguer.

Horst was selected in the 2007 MLB First-Year Player Draft by the Reds in the 21st round. In his two years with the Pirates in 2006 and 2007, the 6-3, 220-pound lefthander went 8-2 with 102 strikeouts in 96.2 innings pitched after joining Armstrong from Iowa Western CC.

The Burlington, N.D., native has ex-celled at every level of the minors for the Reds organiza-tion since being drafted, culminating in his outstanding 2011 season so far. Pitching for the AAA Louisville Bats, Horst is 0-1 with a 1.73 ERA in 12 games this year, giving up just 16 hits in 26 innings pitched, walking nine and striking out 23.

Horst joins former Armstrong hurler and eight-year ma-jor leaguer Adam Bernero as the only Pirates to earn a ticket to the big leagues. Bernero made his major league debut in 2000 - just 15 months after being signed as a free agent by the Detroit Tigers.

Columbus State Takes PBC Commissioner’s CupColumbus State University was presented the 2010-11 Peach Belt Conference Commissioner’s Cup at the league’s annual meetings in Hilton Head. The Commis-sioner’s Cup is presented annually to the best overall athletic program in the league. The award is the fourth in the last six years for the Cougars, who also won the Cup in 2006, 2007 and 2008. A charter member of the Peach Belt Conference, CSU’s four overall Cups is tied for the second most in league history behind former member North Florida, who won five straight in the early 2000s.

Columbus State fared well with nearly every team they put on the field. The men’s and women’s cross country teams and women’s soccer teams all took home PBC championships in the fall while the baseball, softball, women’s tennis and men’s tennis teams all finished in the top three in the spring. Clayton State, with champi-onships in men’s soccer and women’s basketball, fin-

ished second in the standings, their highest finish ever.The PBC Commissioner’s Cup is determined by calculat-ing the number of points possible to each school, given the number of sports they participate in, divided by the number of points earned during the year. Points are determined by placement in the final regular-season standings of each of the PBC’s 13 championship sports. Columbus State earned 89.5 of a possible 119 points available to them for a .752 rating while Clayton State earned 63 of a possible 89 points for a .708 rating.

UNCP’s Dammann, AASU’s Heath Named PBC Scholar-Athletes of the YearUNC Pembroke women’s golfer Katja Dammann and Armstrong Atlantic State baseball player Josh Heath were named the Peach Belt Conference 2010-11 Scholar-Athletes of the Year at the league’s annual meetings in Hilton Head. Dammann and Heath were chosen by the conference’s Faculty Athlet-ics Representatives, who looked at information on each candidate and based their vote on 50% academic accomplishment, 30% athletic achievement and 20% leadership qualities. The scholar-athlete award is the highest individual award presented by the Peach Belt.

Dammann graduated at the top of her class in early May with a 4.00 GPA and a degree in business. A native of Schwerin, Germany, she has been named to the PBC women’s golf All-Academic team twice, the Presidential Honor Roll three times and a Capitol One Academic All-District selection in 2011. Dammann was placed on the UNCP Chancellor’s List every semester she was at the school and was awarded the outstanding graduating senior award in the school of business for the Management, Marketing and International Business department. She has also been nominated for Who’s Who Among American Universities and Colleges in both her junior and senior years.

On the course, Dammann was equally successful, winning the Individual Medalist at the 2011 PBC Championships. She was named first-team All-Conference in 2010 and 2011. She had two tournament wins this past season and her 77.0 stroke average was the third-best in the conference. She had six top-five finishes for the nationally-ranked Lady Braves and finishes her career with four tournament wins. A team captain, her efforts helped UNCP to win the 2011 PBC Championship and reach the NCAA regional tournament. Next for Dammann is the pursuit of a professional golf career. She becomes the fourth UNCP female student-athlete to be named the conference’s Scholar-Athlete of the Year.

Josh Heath graduated from Armstrong Atlantic State this May with a degree in biology with a 3.91 GPA. From Lo-cust Grove, Ga., he was honored with the Leslie B. Davenport award, given to the most outstanding biology major. A three-time Capitol One Academic All-District selection, Heath was named to the PBC All-Academic team three times and the PBC Presidential Honor Roll four times. He was also named to the AASU Dean’s List in the spring of 2011 and recognized by the school as the top overall model student and recognized by the legislature of the State of Georgia.

On the field, Heath appeared in 50 of the Pirates’ 52 games with 47 starts in the outfield. He hit .242 with seven dou-bles and 16 RBIs and 31 runs scored. He drew 34 walks to tie for the team lead and had a .382 on-base percentage. He collected 14 sacrifice bunts, second-most on the team, and made only one error in the outfield in 72 chances, a .986 fielding percentage. Heath becomes only the second Armstrong student-athlete to win the Scholar-Athlete of the Year award, joining Sundar Raman who was honored in 1995.

McKeverNamed NationalPlayer of the YearLander University's Shannon McKever earned the top prize in women's college basketball when she was named the State Farm/WBCA NCAA Divi-sion II Player of the Year.

The award is presented annually to the top players in each of the four WBCA collegiate divisions (NCAA Divi-sions II, III, NAIA and JC/CC) and high school.

“We are extremely proud of Shannon for earning the national player of the year award given by the WBCA," said Lander head coach Kevin Pederson. "Watching her grow from a freshman to a senior has been a great experience, and she has improved each and every year.

"I am excited for Shannon, for our program, and for Lander University. This is a tremendous accolade that she is bringing back to Greenwood. "

McKever, a 6-0, senior, center from Florence, S.C., averaged 17.2 points and 9.8 rebounds per game this season while shooting a national best 62 percent from the field and blocking 3.2 shots per game. She led the Lady Bearcats to their best season ever (29-4) and to a second straight NCAA Sweet Sixteen appearance.

McKever ended her Lander career with 1,744 points, which broke Lorain Truesdale's school record of 1,474. She also broke Kristine McPherson's career blocked shots record (231) this year. While erasing her own single-season blocks record by six with 98, she ended her career with 289.

"The WBCA is pleased to present Shannon McKever with the State Farm/WBCA NCAA Division II Player of the Year award," said WBCA CEO Beth Bass. "She has had an outstanding season, and is very deserving of this achievement. State Farm is synonymous with excel-lence and so is this student-athlete's performance."

McKever is one of only four Peach Belt Conference play-ers in history with 1,000 career points and 1,000 career rebounds. A three-time All-PBC player, she earned PBC Player of the Week honors three times this season.

Members of the Peach Belt Conference Women’s Basketball All-Conference Team.

ClaytonState's Cox NamedNational Coach of the YearIn a season that saw his team win the NCAA Division II national championship, Clayton State head women’s basketball Dennis Cox received the highest possible honor that a coach can at any level.

Cox was selected as the Russell Athletic/WBCA (Wom-en’s Basketball Coaches’ Association) Division II National Coach of the Year. He becomes the first Clayton State head coach ever in any sport to earn a National Coach of the Year honor.

This is the third postseason honor this season for Cox. He was also selected Peach Belt Conference Coach of the Year for the second time during his tenure at Clayton State. In addition, Cox was also honored as the Whack Hyder State of Georgia Women’s College Coach of the Year for a second straight season.

Cox has paced Clayton State to a banner season in 2010-11. Clayton State became only the second team in Peach Belt Conference history to have an undefeated regular season in women’s basketball, and the Lakers’ 33 victories are the most in a season by a Peach Belt women’s program.

The Lakers won their fourth Peach Belt Conference regular season championship this season under Cox, and advanced to the NCAA Division II "Elite Eight" for the third time in Cox’s tenure on their way to a first ever National Championship.

In seven seasons at Clayton State, Cox is 182-45 with a winning percentage of .802. That makes him the second-winningest active head coach at the Division II level in women’s basketball.

Damann received First Team honors, while Yonz was named to the Third Team.

A three-time PBC Presidential Honor Roll Gold Scholar selection, Dammann was also named the recipient of the 2011 Peach Belt Conference Female Scholar-Athlete of the Year. Dammann graduated at the top of her class with a 4.00 GPA and a degree in business.

She captured medalist honors at the 2011 Peach Belt Conference Championship and finished her senior season with the third-best stroke average in the PBC.
