The CoachesJames Rice, Assistant Coach

James Rice is entering his sixth season as the assistant for the women’s basketball pro-gram. During his five years, Rice has made an immediate impact. In his first year, he helped the Lady Tigers win their first SIAC tournament championship in 2007. He also helped assist Coach Felecia Jenkins and her Lady Tigers win their second SIAC tournament championship in 2010. Well-known for his passion and ability to help develop student-athletes reach their maxi-mum potential, he is an energetic coach who oversees the Lady Tigers defensive and of-fensive systems. He also handles much of the day-to-day tasks on head Coach Jenkins’ staff, including scheduling, recruiting, scouting, aca-demic mentoring, practice planning, game plan preparation as well as player development. Prior to joining the staff of the women’s team, Rice served for two years as an assis-tant on the men’s team. In just two years, he helped the Tigers win an SIAC tournament championship. He assisted with all facets of the program’s operations. In his ten years coaching career as an assistant, Rice has help win four conference tournament championships, two regular season titles and has provided valuable support in assisting both Benedict College bas-ketball programs into the NCAA Tournament. A native of Chester, Pennsylvania, Rice started his basketball career as a standout point guard at Benedict College, leading the Tigers to two NAIA Division I National Tournament Championship appearances by posting a 31-1 regular season finish during his freshman and senior years. A four-year letterman and team captain his junior and senior years, he garnered team honors as a player being named the team’s most improved player every year follow-

ing his freshman year. In his senior year he earned the John E. Brown award and was named Benedict College Student-Athlete of the Year.

2011-12 Women’s Basketball Roster


Season OutlookWith six veterans returning

and a large cast of transfers, redshirts and

talented true freshmen, the Benedict College Lady Tigers are ready to make another run at the conference title that slipped from their grasps last season. Benedict finished 18-10 last season. For other programs, and other teams, that may be cause for celebration. But for the 2010 Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Conference tournament champions, it was a classic case of close, but no cigar. The Lady Tigers lost two conference games in overtime, and another by one point. So in essence, Benedict was four points away from 18-4 and in first place in the SIAC standings instead of 15-7 and fourth. Benedict was knocked out of the tournament in the semifinal round by top-seed Fort Valley State. That experience should pay off for the Lady Tigers, who re-turn five players who started a significant amount of games. “That intense mode should automatically kick in, that re-fuse to lose mode should au-tomatically kick in,” said coach Felecia Jenkins, who is starting her seventh year at Bene-dict College. “Those particular games, we faltered on that. Those are some of the things we are rectifying. Inside the four lines, coaches can call time out and make subs. We can’t get in there inside the four lines and get that intense mode that should automatically kick in, that refuse to lose intense mentality.” Senior point guard Bridget Williams will take over the leadership reigns and will direct the offense once again for the Lady Tigers. She has averaged nearly 10 points per game in each of the last two years, and led Benedict in as-sists last year. Also returning for Benedict is junior forward Brittany Jackson, who was named the 2010 SIAC Tournament MVP after helping lead the Lady Tigers to that champion-ship. Last year, she averaged 8.8 points and a team-high 8.3 rebounds per game. “The bulk of the weight on this team will be placed on their respective shoulders. We will look for some heavy minutes from these young ladies; we will look for them

to be leaders, coaches on the floor, which will make the game much easier for the young la-dies surrounding them,” Jen-kins said. “Their skill set is un-questionable, but the thing we love about both of these young ladies is they do play defense and they know how to run a team, they know how to keep a team together. That’s the big-gest upside.” Another returning starter is junior guard Alexus Jones. She played in 20 games last year, starting nine. She averaged 7.8 points last season, but her pri-mary contribution is on the de-fensive side of the court. “She’s probably one of the best defenders I have ever coached while at Benedict, and this is going into my seventh season here,” Jenkins said. “Lex is so quick on her feet, she puts pressure on the ball. Along with Brittany and Bridget Wil-liams, Lex is going to be a piv-otal piece of the puzzle as well.” Another key returnee is junior forward Santera Grooms, who started eight games, including the final six of the season. She averaged 4.6 points and 2.4 re-bounds per game.

“I’m looking for Santeria Grooms to have a breakout sea-son,” Jenkins said. “When we got her last year, she was kind of feeling her way, still kind of out of shape, so she kind of deferred her talents to the ones around here. This will be a great year for her to step out and take ownership of this program. She has that kind of knowledge; she has that kind of skill set. But that player has to be the one to make that step. We can push and probe all day long, but she has to be willing to take that step and take that owner-ship, and when she does, it is going to be a beautiful thing. She’s the best skill-wise I have coached.” Junior guard Monique Weathers started 14 of 28 games last season and was one of the team’s top 3-point shooters. Jenkins said Weathers will have an important roll once again. “Mo is probably one of the most basic-skilled players I have coached. She goes hard, she plays defense hard. Mo is one of those quiet weapons that an opposing team does not prepare for. And when you don’t prepare for her, she can be deadly to your defense because she can shoot

Season Outlookthe long ball, she can put the ball on the floor, she can pass. She spots up and she’s ready to hit the open jump shot. If you close out too hard on her, she can take you off the dribble.” The final returning veteran is junior guard Chelsea Pas-sante. She played in 25 games last year, but was limited due to injuries after starting as a true freshman the year before. Pas-sante had off-season knee sur-gery, and Jenkins is hoping to have a healthy Passante ready for the second half of the sea-son. “She is one of the most po-tent shooters. When she’s on, it’s going to be a long night for the opposing team because she can put the ball in the bas-ket,” Jenkins said. “She is a huge piece to this puzzle. I’m just hoping she works hard enough to get back from these injuries.” Joining the team this year is junior guard LaTeia Brailey, a transfer from South Caro-lina State University. “LeTeia is definitely an upgrade,” Jenkins said. “She was a steal. I’ve seen Teia play since she was in high school and always enjoyed watching her play. She is one of the most savvy, aggressive players I have seen in the game. She brings a lot to this program. The kid can play, and she plays on both sides. I’m excited and ready to see her play.” Another transfer addition is Chelsey Peterson, a Co-lumbia native who joins Benedict from USC Upstate. Other new additions are juniors LaTayvia Mack and se-nior Ruth Ann Simms, a pair of volleyball players who will be joining the basketball team. Mack hasn’t played basket-ball since high school, but Jenkins is eager to add Mack, a big body with incredible jumping ability and the SIAC’s reining volleyball Offensive Player of the Year, to the roster. “We are excited about her. We are going to bring her along slow. She will stay around here Christmas break, so she can work to get into basketball shape,” Jenkins said. “LaTayvia can post, she can step out and hit the 15 to 17-foot jumper.” Simms, who also plays softball, is an all-around athlete who played junior college basketball. “When Rudy and LaTayvia step inside the four lines, that is definitely going to be a matchup problem for the con-ference, because they can play. A lot of people don’t know

Alexus Jones

about Rudy. She can play,” Jenkins said. Other new faces are sopho-mores Cierra Moore and Mau-ra Wood. Moore is returning to the game after a two-year break after having a baby. “I know Cierra is hungry. She’s ready to go,” Jenkins said. “She’s one of the most patient post players I have coached. When the ball is in her hand, she takes her time, she makes the right pass, she makes the right play. I’m just ready to see how she finds her way around all this other talent and to be successful. I’m excited about Cierra Moore as well.” Four freshman join the ros-ter in guards Taylor Carter and Genesis Montilla and forwards Kaiya Elliott and Ashley Gad-sen. “We really don’t expect a whole lot from our freshmen, but whatever they give us is al-ways going to be a bonus and

we’ve got some freshmen who can step up and actually give us some things,” Jenkins said. Benedict led the SIAC in 3-pointers made last year, and the Lady Tigers expect to make that a big part of their of-fensive arsenal again. “We’re going to put up some threes if they leave us open,” Jenkins said. But the key to Benedict’s success under Jenkins – two SIAC tournament titles and three 20-win seasons in six years – has been defense. Last year, the Lady Tigers ranked third in scoring defense and first in rebounding de-fense. “Offense will keep you in games and win you a few games. But I know if you defend, it gives you a better chance at winning championships, putting yourself and your team to be in a championship game,” Jenkins said. “To me, that’s what you train for. You don’t train hard to finish second, third or fourth. We were right there last year and we faltered. Hopefully, prayerfully, these young ladies look back at all those heart-felt losses, those ones that we felt we allowed to happen to us, and we can rectify those things and go in this year with a different mindset, a different charge. That’s what we’re focusing on this year, to not let games slip through our hands. “This year we’re looking to do some big things. We’re excited about it and we’re just ready to let them go and let them play.”

Benedict College Founded in 1870 by Rhode Island native Mrs. Bathsheba Bene-dict, Benedict College was an 80-acre planta-tion when purchased as the Benedict Insti-tute. The investors’ - Mrs. Benedict and the Baptist Home Mission - long-term goal was to educate emancipated African-Americans and produce citizens “pow-ers for good in society”. Nearly 141 years later, Benedict College has been one of the fastest growing of 39 United Negro College Fund Schools. Of the 20 independent colleges in South Carolina, Benedict has the largest undergraduate student body and is the second largest overall. The College has students enrolled from every county in South Carolina. More than 2,800 students currently study at the school and is distinguished by its continued commitment to facilitate the empowerment, enhancement, and full participation of African Americans in a global society. The school’s growth is more than an expanding student

enrollment. Benedict College is also involved in an ambi-tious building program. The beautiful park-like campus is located on the corners of Harden and Taylor Streets. The campus has undergone substantial renovations to its Antis-del Chapel, the Benjamin E. Mays Human Resource Center, Morgan Hall, Pratt Hall, and all of its dormitories. But the school’s growth is not limited to its historic area. Benedict College is also erecting a multi-million dollar, 60-acre sports complex off of Two Notch Road in Columbia. The new facility will include tennis courts, baseball fields, fitness trails, and running track. The heart of the complex is

the 11,000 seat Charlie W. Johnson football stadium. After a 30-year hiatus, football re-turned to Benedict College in 1995. And with football came its comple-ment, the marching band. While credited by some as a boost to male student enrollment, according to Dr. David H. Swinton, president of Benedict College, the move back to football was a way for students to feel a “community esprit de corps”, and to boost the “spirit and quality of the school”. The spirit and quality have attract-ed their share of additional success. The average SAT scores, Honors College enrollee rate, capital giving dollars and the number of research grants awarded to Benedict College have all increased. Also growing are

the numbers of valedictorians and high achievers choosing the school as their first choice for higher education. Students attending Benedict College have the opportunity to earn four-year, liberal arts degree from 30 different dis-ciplines. These include: accounting, art, biology, business administration, chemistry, child and family development, computer science, computer/information science, criminal justice, early childhood education, economics, elementary education, English, environmental health science, history, mathematics, music education, physics, political science, recreation, religion and philosophy, and social work. Receiving an academic education is only part of the Benedict College experience. Service to the community also defines their students. To encourage their community toward fairness and equality, Benedict College started The Center of Excellence for Community Development in 1997. This center is comprised of four programs: Educational Excellence, Child and Family Program, Business and Eco-nomic Development, the Democracy and Government. Each program is designed to help solve a distinct set of problems afflicting American society and in particular African-Ameri-cans. The goal of the Education Excellence Program is to improve the standardized test scores and performance of African-American students. Innovative test-taking skills will be taught to participating students using a variety of life experiences as teaching and learning aides. Success in searching this goal will assist the program in reaching an-other important goal of reducing the dropout rate of African American students. Solving problems associated with growing up in a disadvantaged home is the mission of the Child and Fam-

ily (Excellence) Program. This part of the Excellence Center develops strategies, tactics, and programs to help African Americans deal with problems related to poverty, drug addiction and child abuse. Encouraging small business ownership, and business improvement, particularly among African-Americans, is the goal of the Business and Eco-nomic Development Program. The Excellence Center focuses on teaching the principles and practices of entreprenuership and equates ownership with em-powerment. Community participation in the governmental process is the overall goal of the Democracy and Government portion of the Benedict College Center of Excellence. Of particular interest are the efforts this program makes to encourage voting. The eventual

goal is to “enable our American democracy to work effective-ly not just for some of its people, but for all of its people”, said Swinton. Benedict College has a long history of producing high achievers. Some notable alumni include: Maj. Gen. Matthew Zimmerman, Dr. LeRoy Walker, and president emeritus of the US Olympic Committee. Other distinguished graduates include: I.S. Leevy Johnson Esq., the first African American President of the SC Bar Association; Modjeska Simkins, of-ten referred as the mother of the South Carolina Civil Rights Movement; and Maria Pyles, 1990 SC Teacher of the Year and the National Teacher of the Year finalist. Benedict College has also hosted many distinguished entertainers and visitors as part of its performing arts and lecture programs. Additionally, Benedict has hosted several political and community leaders such as Michelle Obama; Senator Hillary Clinton; John Edwards, Rev. Jesse Jackson, Congressman James E. Clyburn and Former Ambassador Carol Moseley Braun.

Dr. David H. Swinton, President Dr. David Holmes Swin-ton is the 13th president of Benedict College in Colum-bia, South Carolina. As pres-ident, Dr. Swinton oversees all areas and departments of the 141-year-old Institution with a record student enroll-ment that exceeds 3,140, the highest enrollment in the College’s history. Benedict College’s enroll-ment has more than dou-bled since the arrival of Dr. Swinton in 1994. The College has experienced a dramatic increase in its male student populations going against the national trend of recruiting African-American male scholars. As a result of this tremendous growth, Benedict has one of the largest undergraduate populations of the 20 private in-stitutions in South Carolina, and has been ranked the fourth largest HBCU in The College Fund/UNCF network. Recently, Benedict College was ranked one of the Top 10 Colleges in the nation to promote social mobility, cutting edge research and community service by Washington Monthly magazine. Born in New Haven, Connecticut, Dr. Swinton moved with his family to Timmonsville, South Carolina at an early age where he attended the Brockington School. He moved to New York City at 12 years of age and graduated from Thomas Jefferson High School in Brooklyn. In 1968, he received a Bachelor of Arts degree in Economics from New York University; in 1971, he was awarded a Master of Arts degree in Economics from Harvard University; and in 1975 he was awarded a Doctor of Philosophy degree in Econom-ics from Harvard University. Dr. Swinton’s professional experience includes seven-year tenure as Dean of the School of Business at Jackson State University. Prior to his appointment at Jackson State, he was Director of the Southern Center of Studies in Public Policy and Professor of Economics at Clark College in Atlanta, Georgia. Dr. Swinton is renown for his scholarly writings; most notably his analysis of the economic status of African Americans. His economic analysis was published in the National Urban League’s The State of Black America in 1983 and each year from 1989 through 1993. His works have also been published in such professional journals as the American Economics Review, The Review of Black Political Economy, Minority Youth Employment, and Public Admin-

istration Review, Journal of Urban Analysis, and Business and Society. In 2004, Dr. Swinton researched and wrote about The Economic Impact on African-Americans After Brown which was published in “…And Miles to Go Before I Sleep” by The Institute for Public Service and Policy Research of the University of South Carolina in celebration of the 50th An-niversary of Brown v. Board of Education. In 1998, Dr. Swinton became the first African-American Chairman of the Greater Columbia Chamber of Commerce Board in the organization’s 92-year history. In 1999, Dr. Swinton helped organize a group of 50 investors to cre-ate South Carolina Community Bank, to preserve the only minority-owned bank in South Carolina. Dr. Swinton has served as Economic Advisor to the National Urban League since 1980, and has been a member of Black Enterprise Magazine’s Board of Economists since 1990. His honors and awards include Phi Beta Kappa, Coat of Arms Society, and Honors in Economics from New York University, Ford Foundation Fellow, Graduate Prize Fel-lowship from Harvard, the Order of the Palmetto, and an Honorary Doctorate of Humane Letters from the University of Bridgeport. Recently, he received the Luther Wesley Smith Award which is occasionally given to individuals for distinguished service in strengthening college or seminary programs. In 2005, Dr. Swinton’s received the Samuel Z. Westerfield Award by the National Economic Association of African American Economist. The award is presented to an African-American economist with an outstanding record in the economics profession, institutional leadership and ser-vice to the community. In 2007, Dr. Swinton was inducted into the South Carolina Black Hall of Fame. Dr. Swinton believes that students at Benedict are the school’s most valued constituents and its most important product. To help ensure their success, he revised the stu-dent advising system and instituted a comprehensive reten-tion program. The College has been named one of the Top Ten Producers of Physic Bachelor’s Degrees among African Americans in the United States, in the nation since 2005 by the American Institute of Physics. Under Dr. Swinton’s direction, the emphasis on the educational programs has led to the improvement of student performance and infu-sion of state-of-the-art computer technology throughout the campus. Under Dr. Swinton’s leadership several programs have received national accreditations including The Recreation and Leisure Services Program which received accreditation from the National Recreation and Park and The Office of


Teacher Education was ac-credited by the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE) along with the Environmental Health Sci-ence Program which a was accredited by the National En-vironmental Health and Science and Protection Accreditation Council (EHAC). Additionally the national accreditation for the Colleges Social Work Depart-ment and the Benedict College Child Development Center were renewed. In 2009, The School of Business and Economics was awarded the initial accreditation of its Business Programs by The Association of Collegiate Business Schools and Pro-grams (ASBSP). As President, he increased the number of majors from 21 in 1994 to 30 in 2010 and restructured the College into six schools of study. As for the extracurricular aspect, Dr. Swinton returned the Tiger football program after a 29-year absence, revived the marching band, as well as started new golf and tennis programs. Since assuming the presidency of Benedict College, he has led an impressive program to improve the academic and physical environment of the College. He has overseen the restoration of two of the College’s historical land-marks-- Morgan and Pratt Halls, the renovation of several existing buildings, and the acquisition of land for future expansion. A new 45,000 square foot state-of-the-art stu-dent center, along with mini dormitory, a 350-bed Honors Dormitory, a 230-bed upperclassmen dormitory, acquired three apartment complexes, and a 300-space parking facil-ity have also been added to the scenic campus as well as over 110 acres of land. Under his direction the college has implemented the first of three phases to develop a multi-million-dollar state-of-the-art sports complex, which features an 11,000-seat football stadium as its centerpiece. Situated on a newly acquired 60 acres of land, the complex will also include an outdoor track, baseball and softball fields, tennis courts, a soccer field, and a football practice field. Dr. Swinton turned a troublesome “honky-tonk” after hour’s club into a modern community Health and Fitness Center.

In 2006, Benedict renovated and open new facility to house the new Continuing Education Program for evening and weekend Programs. Along with the physical develop-ment of the College’s surrounding community, Dr. Swinton has been instrumental in administering the College’s community development programs as well. With programs such as the Department of Labor’s Welfare-to-Work, it enables Bene-dict College to create partnerships with local businesses and provide jobs and training to program par-ticipants. Among other programs is the Freddie Mac Initiative, which has two major goals: to provide Freddie Mac with information concern-ing racial minorities’ perceptions

of credit and to improve the credit worthiness of African Americans. In 2008, the Benedict College Business De-velopment Center partnered with the FDIC Money Smart Program to teach students and community members how to understand credit, personal budgets and assessing the cost and benefits of consumer and home loans. In 2008, Office of Institutional Advancement received a $1 million grant from the Kresge Foundation in support of fundraising through The College Fund. In 2009, the Bene-dict College began building Project SUSTAIN- Sustainable Urban Services to Advance Independent Neighborhoods) with the creation of the Benedict College Community Learning Center.

In 2010, Benedict received a $1.18 million grant from the Department of Energy which will be used for research relating to radioactive materials cleanup, as well as for the creation of a South Carolina HBCU Center of Excellence in Radiation Safety Training. Benedict will also establish a Bachelor of Science program in environmental engineering and to increase the pool of minority students in the field. Dr. Swinton is married to the former Patricia Lewis. They are proud parents of six adult children and grandpar-ents of 13 grandchildren.

Dr. David H. Swinton, President


Willie Washington, AD In 1988, Willie Washington arrived on the campus of Benedict College as the Head Men’s Basketball Coach and Assistant Athletic Director. Washing-ton had spent the previous twelve years as the Head Men’s Basketball Coach and Athletic Director across the street at Allen University. After building a successful basketball program at Allen University it was time to turn his attention to revamping the Benedict College Program. Under his leadership, the Tigers were the scourge of the EIAC, winning six Commissioner’s Cups, the hallmark of excellence for the school with the best athletic programs. Benedict won six out of seven during their stay in the EIAC since the inauguration of the award. Washington was named the 1999 National Associa-tion of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) Southeast Region Athletic Director of the Year by the National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics. During his tenure as bas-ketball coach, the Benedict College team never had a losing season. He reached the 200 win-plateau during the 1997-98 seasons and guided the Tigers to the NAIA national tournament four times during the nineties. He was named the winner of eight EIAC Coach of the Year awards and was inducted into the EIAC Hall of Fame in 1998. In 2004 in the coaching category, Washington was inducted into the Benedict College Hall of Fame. Washington, who performed well in both roles winning nine straight Eastern Intercollegiate Athletic Conference Championships (EIAC) and expanding the athletic program from 8 to 14 sports including the return of football, realized that the growth of the athletic department demanded his full attention. After 11 years of wearing two hats, that of Men’s Basketball Coach and Athletic Director, Mr. Wash-ington is entering his 22nd year as Athletic Director. Benedict is currently a member National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) affiliate and a member of the Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (SIAC). During

the 2003-2004 year the athletic program had three teams to advance to the NCAA Regional Tournaments during the spring season of competition, more than any other SIAC member institution. Under Willie Washington’s leader-ship, Benedict College served as the host institution for the 2003-2004 SIAC Spring Sports Championships, the first in the college history. In 2010 the Athletic Department won the NCAA Division II National Community Engagement Award of Excellence. Washington is a graduate of Tougaloo College in Touga-loo, Mississippi. He holds a Bachelor of Science Degree in Physical Education, Recreation, and Dance and received a Masters Degree from Jackson State. In college, Wash-ington was co-captain of the basketball team during his junior and senior years, another testimony to his leadership abilities. After college he played in the European Profes-sional Basketball League with the Carlos Basketball Club in Brussels, Belgium. He is married to the former Genoise Gaylor and they are the parents of four children, Willie, a 2002 Benedict Alumni and Jurist Doc graduate from Michi-gan State, Gerard, a 2006 Benedict graduate and Defensive Back Coach for the Tigers, Chad also a Benedict graduate who played football and track and field. He is completed graduate school at Grambling University in the area of sports administration. Kimberly, the youngest, will become a member of the Benedict College family in the future. Currently, Washington serves as Chairman of the Palmetto Capital City Classic Committee and serves on a number of athletic committees, boards and foundations. Washington is a four year member on the NCAA Division II Management Council, Chairman of the SIAC Athletic Director Committee, the NCAA Honors Committee, and the NCAA Diversity and Inclusion Committee.


The SIAC The Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (SIAC) was founded in 1913 and today, 97 years later, the confer-ence still flies high as one of the nation’s most viable forces in intercollegiate athletics. On December 30, 1913, representatives of the follow-ing institutions met at Morehouse College to consider the regulations of intercollegiate athletics among black colleges in the southeast: Alabama State University, Atlanta Univer-sity, Clark College, Fisk University, Jackson College, More-house College, Morris Brown College, Talladega College and Tuskegee Institute. The representatives formed a permanent organization (The Southeastern Intercollegiate Athletic Con-ference) which has had a continuous history to the present. In 1929, they changed the name of this organization to The Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Conference. Two institutions have held continuous membership in the conference: Clark College (now Clark Atlanta University) and Tuskegee University. Other institutions which have held membership are Alabama A&M University, Allen University, Benedict College, Bethune-Cookman University, Edward Waters College, Fisk University, Florida A&M University, Jackson State University, Knoxville College, Morris Brown College, Rust College, Savannah State University, South Carolina State University, Tennessee State University and Xavier University. The present membership is composed of thirteen differ-ent institutions in five states (Alabama, Georgia, Kentucky, South Carolina and Tennessee): Albany State University, Benedict College, Claflin University, Clark Atlanta University, Fort Valley State University, Kentucky State University, Lane College, LeMoyne-Owen College, Miles College, Morehouse College, Paine College, Stillman College and Tuskegee University. The SIAC also has a provisional member, Claflin University. The SIAC is a member of the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) and participates at the Division II level. On an annual basis, the SIAC sponsors seven men’s cham-pionships (baseball, basketball, cross country, football, golf, outdoor track & field and tennis) and six women’s champi-onships (basketball, cross country, outdoor track & field, softball, tennis and volleyball). SIAC teams and its athletes are known for being staunch competitors and for excelling on the national level. The con-ference as a whole has claimed over 50 team and individual national championships. In 1978, Florida A&M became the first black college to win the NCAA Division I-AA National Football Championship when they defeated Massachusetts

35-28 in the finals. The SIAC also has over 300 former and current professional football players. Some retired NFL players who played in the SIAC: Hall of Famers John Stallworth of Alabama A&M, David “Deacon” Jones of South Carolina State and Larry Little of Bethune-Cookman. Other SIAC NFL greats include Rayfield Wright (Fort Valley State), Jack McClarien (Bethune Cookman), Bob Hayes (Florida A&M), Alfred Jenkins (Morris Brown), John Gilliam (South Carolina State) and Oliver Ross (Alabama A&M). Additionally, SIAC Athletes who went pro more recently include All-Pros Greg Lloyd who played for the Pittsburgh Steelers (Fort Valley State) and Shannon Sharpe of the Den-ver Broncos (Savannah State) as well as Anthony Abrams of the Washington Redskins (Clark Atlanta), Eddie Anderson of the Los Angeles Raiders (Fort Valley State), Howard Ballard of the Seattle Seahawks (Alabama A&M), Charles Evans

From 1936-56, Abbott’s track teams at Tuskegee participated in 36 national AAU championships and won 25. Two of the first four blacks selected to play in the NBA were from the SIAC. Some of the former stars who have enjoyed success in the NBA include the Jones brothers – Caldwell, Charles, Major and Wilbert of Albany State, Clemon Johnson of Florida A&M and Harold Ellis of More-house. On the coaching side the late Ed Adams coached at Tuskegee and during his 23-year span, he won 645 games and only lost 153 for an .811 winning percentage. Adams was a member of the 1934 Tuskegee team that won the first SIAC Basketball Tournament Championship and he was the first black basketball coach to win 500 games. Also, current Temple University Head Coach John Chaney is an SIAC alumnus. Chaney was one of the SIAC’s out-standing players in the late 1950s at Bethune-Cookman. The first black female to win a gold medal in any Olym-pic Sport, Alice Coachman, came from the SIAC. Coach-man won an Olympic gold medal in the high jump at the 1948 Olympic Games in London with a jump of 5’6-1/8?. She also won the AAU high jump title for 10 consecutive years. Other SIAC Olympic Gold Medalists include Cath-erine Hardy of Fort Valley State (1st place in the 400 meter relay in 1952); Mildred McDaniel of Tuskegee (1st place in the high jump in 1956); Bob Hayes of Florida A&M (1st place in the 100 meter dash in 1964); Edwin Moses of Morehouse (1st place in the 400 meter hurdles in 1976 and

1984) who went 10 years without a loss in hurdle competi-tion; Dannette Young (1st place in the 400 meter relay in 1988). The SIAC has also had an Olympic track coach at the 1992 games, Tuskegee University graduate Barbara Jacket. Another SIAC track and field standout is Evelyn Lawler. She is also a graduate of Tuskegee University and held an American record time in the 80m hurdles. Shed finished in 6th place at the Pan American Games. Lawler’s other claim to fame lies with her offspring. Lawler is the mother of Olympic gold medalist Carl Lewis. In 1957, Althea Gibson of Florida A&M became the first black to win the singles title at Wimbledon, and she is a member of the National Lawn Tennis Hall of Fame. The SIAC also has had its share of success on the base-ball diamond, which includes a World Series MVP. Donn Clendenon of Morehouse was the MVP of the 1969 World Series when he played with the New York Mets. Andre Dawson of the Chicago Cubs and Vince Coleman of the St. Louis Cardinals played at Florida A&M. Other A&M Rattlers that made it to the big show include Greg Coleman and Bill Lucas. After concluding his major league baseball career, Lucas became the first black general manager in baseball with the Atlanta Braves in 1978. A banner year for the SIAC was 1993 when member institutions competed for NCAA Division II Championships in eight different sports. In football, Albany State went 11-0 during the regular season and made its first trip to the playoffs; Alabama A&M’s men and women competed in the Indoor Track and Field Championships and both finished in the top five. In men’s basketball, Alabama A&M made a na-tional playoff appearance as did Fort Valley State’s women’s squad. Alabama A&M’s men’s cross country team won the southeastern regional title and finished eighth at the nation-als. At the Outdoor Track & Field Championships, Alabama A&M’s men finished 10th and the women claimed their second consecutive national title. The SIAC is also home to both the longest running rivalry and the winningest team in black college football. More-house and Tuskegee have been doing battle since 1902 and will hit the field for the 99th time in the 2008 season. Tuske-gee will be celebrating its 115th season this fall and they have amassed over 600 victories – first among Historically Black Colleges and Universities. All SIAC member institutions have a rich athletic his-tory. They rely heavily on past leadership to help them face today’s challenges as they continue their quest to excel in collegiate athletics.
