Andy Carter Vice President for Intercollegiate AthleticsAndy Carter is.entering.his.seventh.year.as.the.Newberry.College.Director.of.Athletics,.having.joined.the.Newberry.family.in.September.of.2002.Since.

taking.the.helm,.Carter.has.spearheaded.several.projects.in.order.to.turn.Newberry.Athletics.into.one.of.the.premier.programs.in.Division.II.Carter.came.to.Newberry.after.17-year.tenure.at.Missouri.Baptist.University.. .Upon.receiving.his.undergraduate.degree.from.the.NAIA.institution,.

he.began.his.career.as.an.admissions.recruiter.and.assistant.baseball.coach.while.working.on.his.master’s.of.business.administration.at.Lindenwood.University...His.degree.completion.led.him.to.a.faculty.position.as.an.Instructor.of.Business.Administration.and.Economics.at.Missouri.Baptist,.while.at.the.same.time.serving.the.school.as.head.baseball.coach.

Carter.took.over.as.baseball.coach.in.1991.and.during.his.nine.seasons.at.the.helm.won.seven.consecutive.conference.championships...Seven.years.into.a.successful.coaching.career,.he.also.took.over.as.Missouri.Baptist’s.athletic.director...He.served.in.both.roles.for.two.years.before.leaving.coaching.in.order.to.devote.all.his.attention.to.administrative.duties.

Almost.immediately.upon.his.arrival.at.Newberry,.Carter.presented.the.Board.of.Trustees.with.the.“Newberry.College.Athletic.Initiative”,.a.long-term.plan.to.secure.future.athletic.success,.while.maintaining.Newberry’s.excellent.academic.record.for.its.athletics.teams...Newberry.has.undergone.an.overhaul.of.its.athletic.program,.instituting.a.stringent.evaluation.process.for.all.varsity.sports.

The.results.were.almost.immediate,.as.the.athletic.program.nearly.doubled.South.Atlantic.Conference.victories.in.consecutive.years.under.Carter’s.reign. Also, for the first time since 1999, Newberry enhanced its offering of varsity sports, adding wrestling and competitive cheerleading.

Academic.achievement.and.student.development.are.the.cornerstones.of.the.department...A.growing.student-athlete.population.(222.in.2002-03.up.to.500.in.2007-08).have.set.the standard in the South Atlantic Conference (SAC) by winning four of the past five GPA titles and have achieved a cumulative GPA as high as 3.01 (2007-2008). The College’s commitment,.as.evidenced.by.the.implementation.of.our.Mentoring.Skills.program,.is.to.maintain.this.success.for.the.future.

The.student-athlete.experience.directly.correlates.to.the.relationship.they.have.with.their.head.coach..Annual.evaluations.and.emphasis.on.desired.results.produced.by.the.head.coaches.in.the.department.aided.in.staff.hiring.and.the.development.process...The.success.in.hiring.and.developing.all.departmental.staff.(Coaches,.administration,.and.staff).is.directly.correlated.to.the.commitment.shown.by.the.College.

The.tenure.of.our.head.coaches,.each.program’s.win-loss.records,.and.the.quality.of.each.incoming.recruiting.class.provide.a.window.of.the.varied.levels.of.success.that.will.continue.blessing.the.College.for.years.to.come.

Facility enhancement has also been a major focal point for this administration. In the summer of 2006 a new Astro Turf football field was installed. This provided a state of the art field for practice and competition. The team responded by winning all 9 games played at Setzler Field, including our first ever NCAA DII post-season victory. Through the fall 2007.season,.Newberry.football.has.produced.a.15-0.home.record.on.the.new.turf.

The 2007-2008 academic year brought the Phase I completion of the first of three new facilities at the Smith Road Athletic Complex with the completion of the Baseball facil-ity...This.facility.will.be.the.proud.home.for.Newberry.baseball.for.years.to.come.and.will.provide.a.great.opportunity.to.engage.our.community...The.other.facilities.slated.for.the.Smith Road Complex are new Softball and Soccer facilities. Also, the Newberry basketball and volleyball teams began playing last season on a new finished gym floor, powered by.a.brand.new,.state-of-the.art.lighting.system.

Future.plans.include.new.facilities.for.the.men’s.and.women’s.tennis.teams,.a.practice.facility.for.the.Wrestling.program,.and.determining.the.best.course.of.action.to.give.the.football facilities at Seltzer Field its first facelift in almost 20 years.

Success on the fields, courts, and fairways has come as the result of great processes. Our coaches have taught their student-athletes that we must win every day; in the classroom and on the fields, courts, and fairways. During the 2002-03 year we won 19% of SAC competitions. The progress has been steady and reached 53% in 2006-2007. This marked the first time the department ever eclipsed the 50% winning percentage since becoming a DII SAC member. Other competitive successes have come in the All-Sports competition. In 2002-03, we scored 21 points across the 14 representative sport programs. This placed Newbery last in the SAC standings, a place they have finished each year. Once again, the rise has been steady as we scored successively more points each year leading up to the 2006-07 year when we scored 76 points and finished third in the standings, only 6 points out of first place. What a wonderful testament to the support of the College Administration and the hard work of the staff and student-athletes.

As.the.Vice.President.for.Intercollegiate.Athletics,.he.serves.on.the.Newberry.President’s.Cabinet,.under.Dr..Mitchell.Zais..He.also.is.member.of.the.National.Association.of.Collegiate.Directors.of.Athletics.and.serves.as.a.Board.Member.for.the.D2.Athletics.Director’s.Association.

Carter.is.married.to.his.wife.of.23.years,.Rena..They.have.seven.children:.Aaron.(20),.a.senior.cadet.at.USMA-West.Point,.Becca.(19),.Beth.(16),.Jake.(14),.Rachel.(12),.Caleb.(10),.and.Micah.(8).

WE ARE ONE2008 SEASON OUTLOOK

Enthusiasm. abounds. around. the. Newberry. College. men’s.basketball.program.as.the.scarlet.and.gray.enter.the.2008-09.season.

Head. Coach. Jeremy. Luther. enters. his. second. season. at.Newberry.with.one.of.the.greatest. luxuries.any.head.coach.can have, as Newberry will return all five starters from the 2007-08.squad.

While that edition of the team finished with a 12-16 overall record.and.a.5-9.South.Atlantic.Conference.mark,.the.room.for.massive.improvement.is.immediately.evident,.as.nine.of.those.16.losses.were.by.six.or.fewer.points.

“I. think. the. biggest. advantage. of.returning all five starters is that our learning. curve. is. much. smaller,”.Luther.said..“Last.year,.by.the.time.they.got.used.to.me.and.knew.about.what. I. wanted. and. how. I. reacted.and.got.used.to.the.new.system.and.our.tendencies,.it.was.mid-January..When they finally got it, we were ar-guably.one.of.the.better.teams.in.the.league.

“We’ve.already.seen.our.kids.catch.on. quicker. this. year. because. we.haven’t. changed. anything.. Our.weight.program.is.more.familiar,.our.triangle.workout.is.more.familiar,.in-dividual.workouts.were.more. famil-iar..Now.when.we.get.to.practice.as.a. team,. you’ll. see. us. advance. and.get.to.where.want.to.be..We’ll.be.bet-ter,.quicker.this.year.”

Leading the five returning starters is senior forward Clem-ente Martin (Freeport, Bahamas) – a first team all-South At-lantic. Conference. selection.. Martin. broke. the. 1,000. career.point. barrier. last. season,. and. led. the. team. in. scoring. with.528.points.for.an.average.of.18.9.points.per.game..He.was.second.in.the.conference.in.scoring,.12th.in.the.conference.in rebounding (6.0 rpg), fourth in field goal percentage (.567) and.won.the.SAC.title.in.steals.(2.36.spg).

Also.returning.is.the.team’s.leading.rebounder,.senior.forward.Stephane.Bakinde.(Yaounde,.Cameroon)..Bakinde’s.6.5.re-bounds.per.game.led.the.team,.and.he.was.second.on.the.squad.in.scoring.with.11.3.points.per.game.

Senior. point. guard. Vytautas. Valiulis. (Vilnius,. Lithuania). re-turns after finishing third in the SAC in assists with 4.4 assists per.game,.while.averaging.8.8.points..Also,.senior.guard.Matt.Alexander.(Atlanta,.Ga.).returns.after.a.solid.junior.campaign.in.which.he.averaged.8.8.points,.4.4.rebounds.and.2.93.as-sists.per.game.

Junior.center.Kendrick.Johnson.(Orangeburg,.S.C.).will.look.to. tack. onto. his. school. record. for. blocked. shots.. Johnson.

should.be.one.of.the.dominant.post.defenders. in. the. conference. and.looks.to.continue.to.improve.on.of-fense..He.was.second.in.the.league.with. 93. blocked. shots. last. season.(3.32.bpg),.which.set.a.single.sea-son.school. record..His.134.career.blocked.shots.is.already.a.Newberry.College.record,.while.Johnson.has.only.played.in.three.semesters.

Players.from.the.bench.will.include.sophomore. guard. Grant. Domsic.(Winter.Garden,.Fla.),.who.earned.SAC.All-Freshman.team.honors.last.year.after.averaging.10.5.points.per.game. and. shooting. 35.6. percent.from.behind.the.arc..Senior.forward.Ty. Overmyer. (Dawsonville,. Ga.).should.also.be.a.key.contributor.off.the.bench.

A.solid.group.of. transfers.and.freshmen.will.also.be. looked.to.for.immediate.contributions..At.the.top.of.that.list.is.sopho-more.forward.Jesse.Wheeler.(Suwanee,.Ga.),.a.transfer.from.Gardner-Webb.University..

“Jesse.has.the.potential.to.be.the.highest.impact.player.we’ve.brought.in.this.year,”.Luther.said..“Jesse.is.very.athletic.and.competes.every.play..He.has.the.ability.to.be.an.all-confer-ence.type.of.player.for.us.”

Grant Domsic was named to the SAC All-Freshman team in 2007-08

WE ARE ONE2008 SEASON OUTLOOK

“He.can.score.from.behind.the.arc,.and.is.also.skilled.in.the.post..He’s.a.solid.all-around.player,”.Luther.added.

Also.expected.to.make.an.impact.is.redshirt.freshman.guard.Charles. Ndoloum.. “Charles. could. play. any. position. on. the.florr if we needed him to, because he just says ‘Yes, sir, I’ll do it.’.If.I.have.to.go.small,.we.can.put.him.out.there.and.he.can.do.anything.we.need.him.to.”.

Junir.forward.Brett.Goodwell.and.freshman.point.guard.Will.Dawkins are also expected to see time on the floor.

The.South.Atlantic.Conference.has.experienced.and.enjoyed.over.30.years.of.athletic.tra-dition.and.excellence..The.conference.has.been.tremendously.successful.due.to.dedicated.people.building.a.premier.athletic.conference.throughout.its.history.

The.distant.forerunner.of.the.South.Atlantic.Conference.was.the.North.State.Atlantic.Con-ference.(NSIAC)..The.NSIAC.was.formed.when.the.“Little.Six”,.as.it.was.called,.broke.from.the.North.Carolina.Intercollegiate.Athletic.Conference.in.1930..These.charter.members.in-cluded.Lenoir-Rhyne.College,.Atlantic.Christian,.Catawba.College,.Guilford.College,.Elon.College,.and.High.Point.University.

The. North. State. continued. to. grow. over. the. next. 30. years,. adding. Western. Carolina.(1933),.East.Carolina.(1947).and.Pfeiffer.(1960)..A.name.change.became.necessary.when.the league accepted Newberry as its first South Carolina member in 1961. The league took on.the.name.Carolinas.Intercollegiate.Athletic.Conference.(CIAC).on.May.20th.of.that.year.

The.CIAC.saw.several.changes.in.the.following.years.as.East.Carolina.withdrew.from.the.league. in.1962..Appalachian.State.and.Western.Carolina. followed. in.1971.and.1976..All.three.landed.in.the.Southern.Conference.

The.South.Atlantic.Conference.was.founded.in.1975.solely.as.a.football.conference..The.league.received.its.name.from.a.contest.in.which.Kurt.Brenneman.of.Greensboro,.NC.be-came the first to submit the SAC-8 moniker.

The.SAC-8.consisted.of.Carson-Newman.College,.Catawba.College,.Elon.College,.Gard-ner-Webb.University,.Lenoir-Rhyne.College,.Mars.Hill.College,.Newberry.College,.and.Pres-byterian.College..Dr..Fred.Bentley,.of.Mars.Hill.College,.was.named.league.president.for.its.

inaugural.year,.by.a.vote.of.the.member.institutions.After the first season of play in the SAC-8, the Bears of Lenoir-Rhyne College captured

the first football title.In.1989,. the. league’s.15th. year.of. operation,. the.South.Atlantic.Conference.became.a.

comprehensive,.all-sports.conference..That.year.the.South.Atlantic.Conference.sponsored.10.sports.-.football,.men’s.and.women’s.basketball,.baseball,.softball,.men’s.soccer,.volley-ball,.men’s.golf,.men’s.and.women’s.tennis..Later.the.conference.grew.to.14.championship.sports.by.adding.women. ‘s.soccer.(1990),.men’s.and.women’s.cross.country.(1993).and.women’s.golf.(1999).

The.South.Atlantic.Conference.was.composed.of.the.same.eight.member.institutions.from.1975.until.1988,.when.Wingate.University.replaced.Newberry.College.as.the.eighth.member.institution..Newberry.later.rejoined.the.conference.in.1996.

Since.becoming.eligible.for.NCAA.Division.II.postseason.play.in.1993,.the.league.has.sent.representatives.from.all.of.its.sponsored.sports.to.NCAA.postseason.play.

In.July.of.1998,.Tusculum.College.was.admitted.as.a.member.of.the.league,.and.Lincoln.Memorial.University.began.play.in.the.conference.in.the.2006-07.academic.year..

Newberry College has an annual budget of over $16,500,000. Th e College employs about 225 people—165 salaried and 60 hourly.

Th e monthly payroll exceeds $600,000 and monthly purchases and contracts average $700,000.Over 900 students and 225 employees make purchases in the community every day.Th e College sponsors around 60 cultural events each year—concerts, plays, art exhibits, lectures.Th e College hosts around 175 sporting events per year with their 15 NCAA Division II teams—8 men, 7 women.A number of off -campus groups use college facilities for special events. For example, the SC Lutheran Synod Assembly and the SC Lutheran Youth Convention each bring over 400 people into the community. We also host the South Carolina Women of the ELCA, a state-wide ROTC camp, the South Carolina Middle and Senior High Jazz Band Competition, the South Carolina Middle and High School Science Olympiads, the South Carolina Guidance Counselor Conference, several athletic camps, and many more.

Special events such as Homecoming, graduations in May and December, Convocations, and accreditation visits in multiple programs bring thousands of visitors to Newberry.

A study conducted by the Newberry Chamber of Commerce in 1998 concluded the College has the following economic impact on the city. With major growth in enrollment and accounting for infl ation, these numbers would be signifi cantly higher today.

“Th e economic impact of the Newberry College payroll is $28,000,000.” “Th e economic impact of total Newberry College spending is

$84,000,000.” “Th e economic impact of student spending is $10,000,000.” “Th e total economic impact of Newberry College is over $100,000,000

per year.”
