Lamar University was able to return to the gridiron thanks in large part to the generosity of donorslike Walter Umphrey and his partners at Provost Umphrey law firm. In recognition of a gift from theBeaumont-based law firm and an additional gift from Umphrey and his wife, Sheila, the name “ProvostUmphrey Stadium” graces the renovated facility where fans cheer on the Cardinals.

The renovated stadium features all new bench and chair-back seating, new restroom and conces-sion facilities, a new concourse area, and increased handicap accessible seating areas. In addition,the installation of new lighting and a Matrix field turf playing surface provides a state-of-the art venuethat will not only hold up to challenging weather conditions, but also allow the stadium to be a multi-use facility.

Furthermore, thanks to a $1 million contribution from Education First Federal Credit Union, ProvostUmphrey Stadium features a state-of-the-art, video-integrated scoreboard. The video board offerscomplete flexibility, with the capability to show one large single video image, multiple video images,and a combination of live or recorded video with real time scores and statistics, out of town gameinformation, sponsors' messages, graphics and animation.

Opening and Dedication

Today’s plush and newly-renovated Provost

Umphrey Stadium was originally built for a cost

of $1 million with the construction period last-

ing from May of 1963 through July of 1964. It

was dedicated during ceremonies prior to

Lamar’s 21-0 season opening victory over

East Central Oklahoma on Sept. 19, 1964.

Lamar fullback Darrell Johnson scored the first

touchdown in stadium history on a 30-yard run

during the second quarter of that game. The

Coaching Staff

With two seasons under his belt,Ray Woodard has the LamarUniversity football programheaded in the right direction.In 2011, Lamar was able tocompete as a full member ofthe Southland Conference andWoodard guided the Cardinals

to a pair of conference road wins on their way to a 4-7 overall recordand a 2-5 league mark.

For the second straight year, Woodard’s Cardinals rewrote theLamar record books. Seven individual and six team records were eitherset or tied during the 2011 campaign.

Lamar had a pair of players earn second-team All-Southland Con-ference honors in wide receiver J.J. Hayes and offensive lineman An-thony Oden. Six other Cardinals earned honorable mentionall-conference honors, including wide receiver Marcus Jackson whosigned a free agent deal to play for the NFL’s Atlanta Falcons followingthe 2012 draft.

All this coming on the heels of an historic year in 2010. Not onlydid the Cardinals take the field for the first time since 1989, but theyturned a lot of heads with their immediate success on the gridiron.

In their very first game – at McNeese State on Sept. 4 – they seta school record with 429 passing yards, and two weeks later – at South-eastern Louisiana – quarterback Andre Bevil led a fourth-quartercomeback that sparked a 29-28 victory over the stunned highly-favoredLions.

Woodard guided the Cardinals to a 5-6 overall record, which in-cluded a 4-2 mark in newly refurbished Provost Umphrey Stadiumwhile playing in front of capacity crowds in their first four homegames. The overall record does not begin to tell the story of the re-newed excitement and school pride that were returned to the Beau-mont campus.

Although the Cardinals were not eligible for the Southland Con-ference championship during the 2010 season, the excitement gener-ated by Lamar’s resurrection of the football program was reflected inthe fact Woodard was one of five finalists voted for the SoutheastTexas Press Club’s 2010 Newsmaker of the Year Award.

McNeese State was ranked 11th in the nation when the Cardinalsput a scare into the Cowboys before falling 30-27 in the season openerfor both teams. A week later, playing its home opener in front of ared-clad crowd of 16,600, Lamar earned its first victory in over twodecades by a 21-14 margin over Webber International.

Lamar added four more victories, including the impressive 29-28come-from-behind win at Southeastern Louisiana. A high-poweredoffense, which set 15 team or individual records during the season, be-came the signature for the 2010 Cardinals who closed the year with adominating 44-6 dismantling of Oklahoma Panhandle State.

Woodard was named the eighth football coach at Lamar Univer-sity by university president James Simmons and then athletics director

Billy Tubbs on May 19, 2008. He came to Lamar after serving threeseasons at Navarro College – the first two as defensive coordinatorand the final as head coach. His 2007 squad went 9-3 and advanced tothe conference playoffs for the first time in six seasons.

Navarro defeated defending national champion Blinn College onconsecutive weeks before rolling past Kilgore – the SWJCFC regular-season champion on the road 54-28 to earn the school's first bowl bidsince the 1990s.

Navarro claimed a 24-21 win over Georgia Military in the Pil-grim's Pride Bowl to finish the year ranked fourth in the NJCAA na-tional poll. For his efforts, Woodard was named the SWJCFC Coachof the Year.

From 2003-05, Woodard served as the head football and trackcoach at Burton (Texas) High School, with the Panthers winning thedistrict title in track in 2004. He spent two years as the defensive co-ordinator at Livingston (Texas) HS from 1998-2001 and one seasonat Trinity HS in 1997-98. Trinity went 7-3 in 1997.

Woodard spent three years as the defensive coordinator for theScottish Claymores from 2000-03 during his second stint with an NFLEurope franchise.

Woodard's other professional coaching experience came as thegeneral manager/head coach for the Houston Outlaws (1999-2000)of the Regional Football League, defensive coordinator of the Frank-

Ray WoodardHead Coach - Third Season

Kil-gore had a 9-2 recordin 1990, won theconference champi-onship and wasranked as high as No.6 in the country.

W o o d a r dalso had a successfulplaying career, fromhis days at Corrigan-Camden HS to Kil-gore College and theUniversity of Texasto five years in theNFL. After earning13 letters in foursports at Corrigan-

Camden from 1975-79, he walked on at Kilgore College then went onto became a two-time All-America selection as a defensive tackle from1980-81. The Rangers finished the 1980 season ranked No. 2 in theNJCAA rankings after posting a 10-1 record and winning the TJCFCChampionship.

Texas led the nation in total defense, yielding an average of212 yards per game along with an average of 9.5 points per game.

President James M. Simmons

Dr. James M.Simmons, LamarUniversity’s pres-ident, has ledLamar into anew era of dy-namic growth.Momentum hasbeen the watch-word of Sim-m o n s ’administration, a

period in which enrollment recorded itslargest increase in Lamar’s almost 90-year his-tory, with more than 14,500 students in fall2011. Even in the wake of two major storms– Hurricane Ike in 2008 and Hurricane Ritain 2005 – Simmons and his team kept classesand graduation on schedule, restoring thecampus after substantial damage as well asadding state-of-the-art facilities. In spring 2008, the university launchedits first comprehensive campaign, “Investingin the Future,” with the ambitious goal of$100 million. Nearing that mark in January2012, the goal was increased to $125 million.Impact of the campaign is far reaching – toinclude endowments for four named aca-demic departments, gifts to support revivalof the Cardinals’ football tradition, establish-ment of a major student fellowship programand substantial growth in scholarship funds. Simmons also implemented a masterplan to enhance the campus through land-scaping and buildings, most notably the Car-dinal Village residence halls, which now

accommodate more than 2,500 students. TheDining Hall, which opened in spring of 2006,and the Sheila Umphrey Recreational SportsCenter, dedicated in spring of 2007, furthercontribute to campus life. Renovations and expansions of severalmajor academic buildings have been com-pleted, are under way or are in planningphases. Lamar has also seen major enhance-ments to its athletic facilities, with the crownjewels including Provost Umphrey Stadiumand the Dauphin Athletic Complex. Vincent-Beck Stadium and McDonald Gym have en-joyed major upgrades, and the LU Soccer andSoftball Complex opened in 2009. The university’s designation as a Doc-toral Research University by the CarnegieFoundation for the Advancement of Teach-ing is a powerful affirmation of Lamar’s highlevel of research activities. Recognizing thatonline programs are vital to the university’sfuture, Simmons has continually soughtgrowth in that area. Today, more than 30 per-cent of LU’s credit hours are now generatedthrough online courses; nearly 4,200 of theuniversity’s students learn entirely online, andLU is a recognized leader in online education. Simmons took office as president onSept. 1, 1999, bringing a wealth of perspec-tive to the position. A Lamar veteran of morethan four decades, he previously served asdean of the College of Fine Arts and Com-munication and as interim executive directorof university advancement. He began his Lamar career in 1970 as aninstructor and director of the marching band.He quickly rose through the ranks, serving asdirector of bands and as chair of the musicdepartment. Simmons is also a leader in com-munity service, having garnered dozens ofawards and accolades. He has attracted ac-claim as an orchestra leader and as a per-former on clarinet, saxophone and piano.Because of his leadership role, those pursuitshave taken a back seat, but he often saysmusic is his first love, and he continues tograce the stage. Simmons is known as an administratorwith a strong sense of direction and a keenability to attract and cultivate talented faculty– who, he stresses, are professionals whoteach rather than professional teachers. Hisinnovative approaches to the pursuit of aca-demic excellence and his winning rapportwith students, faculty, staff and the commu-nity are defining qualities. In April 2009, Simmons received the

Chief Executive Leadership Award from Dis-trict 4 of the Council for Advancement andSupport of Education (CASE), which in-cludes Texas, New Mexico, Arkansas, Okla-homa and Mexico. In 2011, he was namedNewsmaker of the Decade by the Press Clubof Southeast Texas. Another honor came hisway in 2012 when Phi Beta Mu InternationalBandmasters Fraternity inducted him into theTexas Bandmasters Hall of Fame.

Athletics Director Jason Henderson

J a s o n

Henderson,

who spent a

year as in-

terim athlet-

ics director,

was named

Lamar’s Di-

rector of

Athletics on

June 18, 2012.

Henderson has served as Lamar's

associate athletic director for compli-

ance since July of 2007 before being

elevated to interim athletics director

on May 11, 2011.

As the athletics director, Hender-

son is responsible for the day-to-day

operations of Lamar’s 17 men’s and

women’s athletics programs.

Henderson is in his seventh year

as a member of the Lamar athletic de-

partment overall, joining the staff in

April 2006 as the compliance coordi-

nator. In this role, Henderson over-

sees NCAA compliance and

scholarships.

Henderson currently serves as the

Southland Conference representative

to the NCAA Division I Amateurism

Cabinet. The cabinet reviews issues

relating to NCAA rules involving stu-

dent-athlete amateurism and ways to

ensure that student-athletes remain

true to the NCAA philosophy of am-

ateur athletic competitions.

While serving as associate AD,

Henderson played a major role in the

return of Lamar football and the ad-

dition of the Lamar women’s soccer

and softball programs. He was a key

figure in the planning of the Dauphin

Athletic Complex, the updating of

what is now known as Provost

Umphrey Stadium and the construc-

tion of the Lamar Soccer/Softball

Complex.

Henderson has also led coaching

search committees that landed Lamar

a successful football coach in Ray

Woodard and proven basketball coach

Pat Knight. In addition, the athletic

department has added several staff

positions under his watch.

Prior to coming to Lamar, Hen-

derson served as the academic coor-

dinator and CHAMPS Life Skills

Coordinator at Texas A&M-

Kingsville, where he collected and

maintained data on student-athletes,

assisted with updating and maintain-

ing compliance documents and as-

sisted with rules education for

department staff and student-athletes.

Henderson was also an intern at

Lindsey Wilson College in Columbia,

Ky., and Texas A&M. During this

time Henderson was involved prima-

rily in assisting in the marketing of the

NAIA and NCAA programs, respec-

tively.

Henderson earned a Bachelor of

Science degree in kinesiology with a

specialization in sports management

from Texas A&M in May of 2003 and

a Master of Business Administration

from Texas A&M-Kingsville in De-

cember of 2005.

Henderson also spends time in

the community with various charita-

ble organizations including the

YMBL and the Beaumont A&M

Club. Both of these organizations

help raise funds to improve the com-

munity at large.

Jason Henderson receives the 2012 Southland Conference Commissioner’s Cup Men’s

All-Sport trophy from SLC commissioner Tom Burnett.

NCAA Division I Football Championship Game

College football coaches often say the greatest improvementa team makes is between its first and second game. Team Friscocertainly agrees.

After staging a successful championship game in 2011, its firstof at least three at FC Dallas Stadium in Frisco, Texas, year twowas even better.

Last year, the perfect blend of two passionate fan bases com-bined with a “local” team making it to the championship gameled to a standing-room only crowd of 20,586 to watch NorthDakota State beat Sam Houston State 17-6.

Fans of each school were scrambling to find tickets as soonas they locked up their appearances with semifinal wins and as aresult, the game was sold out less than four days later. A limitednumber of standing-room-only tickets became available the weekof the game and sold out within minutes.

“I joked that the last person in the state of North Dakotaneeds to turn out the lights because I don’t know if there’s any-body left,” Bison coach Craig Bohl said after the game. “What agreat showing of support. I want to say thanks to all our fans.This is a great game-day venue and Sam Houston State had a greatfollowing, too. I think it just sets a tone that this championshipcan really be special.”

North Dakota State’s campus in Fargo is roughly 1,000 milesnorth of Frisco and about a 16-hour drive. Conversely, Frisco isonly about 200 miles north of Huntsville, Texas, where SamHouston State calls home.

Combine those elements and it produced an electric atmos-phere from start to finish.

North Dakota State quarterback Brock Jensen threw a touch-down pass right after a fake punt and then added a 1-yard run foranother score following a long interception return to help the No.2 seed Bison upset the top-seeded Bearkats, snapping Sam Hous-ton’s 16-game win streak and preventing it from winning its firstnational championship.

North Dakota State won its first national championship atthe Division I level to go with five Division II titles, the last in1990. Each of the last four Division I championship games, in-cluding both games in Frisco, have produced a first-time cham-pion: Richmond following the 2008 season, Villanova in 2009 andEastern Washington in 2010.

Eastern Washington erased 16-point deficit to beat Delaware20-19 in the first game in Frisco in January 2011. The entertaininggame certainly did not disappoint the 13,000-plus fans who at-tended the first college football game in Frisco.

While the games have no doubt been the highlight, it is aweek’s worth of events that have separated the event in Friscofrom past championships – not to mention the great Texas hos-pitality.

The teams arrive in Texas four days before the game starts.They’re greeted by signs and banners around town as well as greatcrowds at their respective team headquarters. The next day, theteams visit local elementary schools where they are welcomed by

students eager to show off their school spirit for their newlyadopted college teams. Later that night, the two participatingteams gather for the Great Texas Barbecue Bowl that showcasethe legendary Texas culture and hospitality. On Friday, teams at-tend the Champions Luncheon and make last-minute tweaks ingame preparation.

The day of the game, fans begin gathering at restaurants andparking lots surrounding FC Dallas Stadium and take part in Tail-gate Town that features quality entertainment and even moreTexas sounds, flavors and hospitality.

“The NCAA national championship game in Frisco was anexperience our players, fans and coaching staff will never forget,”Sam Houston State head coach Willie Fritz said. “What a greatweek. The NCAA, Southland Conference and city of Frisco puton a first class event from start to finish.”

The local organizing committee, collectively known as TeamFrisco consists of the City of Frisco, its Economic DevelopmentCorporation and Convention & Visitors Bureau, Hunt SportsGroup/FC Dallas Stadium, the Frisco Chamber of Commerceand Frisco-based Southland Conference.

The Football Championship Subdivision is comprised of theconferences and institutions that compete in the NCAA DivisionI Football Championship - Big Sky, Big South, Colonial AthleticAssociation, Ivy League, Mid-Eastern Athletic, Missouri ValleyFootball, Northeast, Ohio Valley, Patriot League, Pioneer, South-ern, Southland and the Southwestern Athletic. The Ivy Leagueand Southwestern Athletic Conference choose not to participatein the football championship. The FCS embodies a tradition ofexcellence through high level competition, student-athlete char-acter and sportsmanship throughout the regular season and thechampionship experience.

BEAUMONT - Braving a steady and driving rain and winds that gusted up to 30

miles an hour at times, the Lamar University Cardinals opened their 2011 season with

a decisive 58-0 victory over Texas College.

Included was a four-touchdown 105-yard rushing performance by Navarro Col-

lege transfer DePauldrick Garrett, who starred at nearby West Orange-Stark High

School.

Garrett's four touchdowns set a Lamar record, and his 24 points surpassed

Harold LaFitte's 46-year-old school record of 20 set in a 1965 game against Pensacola

Navy.

Also, the eight extra points booted by sophomore Justin Stout matched the school

record set by Walter Smith against Mexico Poly in 1961.

Teamwise, the 58-point winning margin was the largest in school history, exceed-

ing the 48 points by which the 1953 Cardinals outscored Mexico Poly.

The 5-foot-8, 190-pound Garrett scored on runs of 1, 2 and 1 yards, and the Car-

dinals also received a 2-yard TD run by Octavious Logan and a 38-yard interception

return for a score by junior defensive back Adrian Guillory in the first half, alone. The

35 first-half points were six more than the one-game high last season.

Garrett scored his fourth TD of the night early in the third quarter, moments after

sophomore Kye Hildreth recovered a fumbled punt by the Steers at the 7-yard line.

Two plays later, Garrett gouged his way into the north end zone to break both school

standards.

Later in the third quarter, sophomore linebacker James Washington came up with

Lamar's second pickoff and took it back 56 yards to run the Cardinals' lead to 49-0. A

safety at the 3:45 mark of the quarter increased the cushion to 51-0, and Mike Vinson's

4-yard TD smash over left tackle with 12.7 seconds left enabled the Cardinals to take

a 58-0 lead into the final period.

Defensively, the Cardinals were dominant. They limited the Steers to three first

downs and 12 total yards on 30 first-half plays, and Texas College's respective game

totals were four and negative six.

The Cardinals forced five turnovers (two interceptions and three lost fumbles).

Meanwhile, Lamar's offense rushed for 209 yards by far the Cardinals' most during the

Ray Woodard coaching era. They also passed for 111 yards, giving them 320 yards,

and they lost only two turnovers (both fumbles).

MOBILE, Ala. - Lamar University's football team scored its first touch-

down in eight quarters of play against South Alabama on Sept. 10 in Ladd

Peebles Stadium.

By the time redshirt freshman quarterback Jeremy Johnson hooked up

with split end J.J. Hayes for the score with 2:11 remaining in the game, how-

ever, it was of little consequence. The 26-yard strike merely served to reduce

the final margin of defeat to 30-8.

Demetre Baker carried the ball 13 times for 82 yards and scored on an

11-yard run in the second quarter, while Kendall Houston, who rushed for a

career-high 164 yards against the Cardinals last season, had 43 yards on

13 carries, including a 4-yard touchdown smash to start the Jaguars' scoring

parade.

As a team, the Jaguars piled up 21 first downs to Lamar's nine, rushed

for 205 yards to the Cardinals' 115 and passed for 144 yards to LU's 123.

C.J. Bennett, a redshirt freshman who threw three interceptions in the

Jaguars' 20-10 season-opening victory over West Alabama a week ago,

completed nine of 14 passes for 144 yards without a pick. He had touch-

down throws of 10 yards to Waldon and another 10 to Jereme Jones.

The Jaguars' other score came on Jordan Means' 22-yard field goal

early in the fourth quarter.

Junior DePauldrick Garrett, who scored a school-record four touch-

downs in the Cardinals' 58-0 season-opening win over Texas College last

week, managed 56 yards on 18 carries this time, but his longest run was a

7-yarder.

Senior Andre Bevil, who passed for 2,013 yards for the Cardinals last

season, had a second-straight subpar performance, completing six of 18 at-

tempts for 97 yards.

Hayes snared three passes for 79 yards for Lamar, but no other Car-

dinal had more than one catch. Senior Marcus Jackson, making his first ap-

pearance of the season after sitting out the Texas College game with an

injury, gained 18 yards on his lone reception.

HAMMOND, La. - Lamar University rallied for 28 unanswered points in the

second half to post a 48-38 victory over Southeastern Louisiana in the Cardinals'

first Southland Conference football game since the 1986 season.

The four-touchdown spurt erased a 24-13 SLU lead and gave the Cardinals

a 41-24 lead early in the fourth quarter. The Lions cut their deficit to 41-31 on Brian

Young's 1-yard touchdown sneak, but the Cardinals responded with Andre Bevil's

second play-action pass for a score, this one a 29-yarder to Marcus Jackson.

In defeating the Lions on the road for the second-straight season, the Cardi-

nals received a four-touchdown, 270-yard passing effort from Bevil, who completed

19 of 32 atttempts with one interception. Jackson caught two touchdown passes

and threw another of 62 yards to split end J.J. Hayes after catching a lateral from

Bevil.

Bevil's other scoring passes went for 44 yards to Jackson, 32 yards to running

back Mike Venson and 2 yards to tight end Paden McVey. Venson rushed for a sea-

son-high 84 yards on 27 carries and added four receptions for 54 yards. Also,

backup running back Octavious Logan netted 70 rushing yards and logged touch-

down runs of 4 and 6 yards.

Jackson finished with a career-high 123 receiving yards on five catches, and

Hayes, who was playing in his 13th game as a Cardinal went over the 1,000-yard

barrier with 92 yards on four catches, giving him 66 catches for 1,057 yards for his

Cardinal career.

Lamar's defenders helped the offense by coming up with a fumble recovery

inside the 10-yard line by linebacker James Washington, another fumble recovery

by linebacker Asim Hicks and with interceptions by linebacker Jacody Coleman,

cornerback Adrian Guillory and free safety Ryan Clark.

In easily their most impressive offensive display of the fall, the Cardinals com-

piled season-highs of 25 first downs, 229 rushing yards, 332 passing yards and

561 total yards.

BEAUMONT. - Lamar University scored 42 points through three quar-

ters to seize a 22-point lead then held off a spirited University of Incarnate

rally to post a 45-35 victory.

In improving to 2-1 on the season, Lamar rolled up 469 yards of total

offense, but the host Cardinals allowed UIW to score two touchdowns in a

span of 48 seconds early in the fourth quarter.

That spurt pulled UIW to within 42-35, but Lamar put it away with a 31-

yard Justin Stout field goal which was followed a few moments later by a

clutch interception by linebacker Jacody Coleman.

After allowing UIW tailback Trent Rios to rush for 94 first-half yards, the

host Cardinals limited him to 26 yards in the second half.

Meanwhile, Mike Venson, getting his most extended playing time of the

season, rushed for 90 yards and one touchdown for the host Cardinals, and

senior quarterback Andre Bevil passed for 226 yards and two touchdowns.

Redshirt freshman Jeremy Johnson spelled Bevil on a few possessions

and ran for 47 yards on six carries and completed a 7-yard touchdown pass

to senior split end J.J. Hayes, who had four receptions for a season-high 96

yards.

Bevil completed 14 of 19 passes, including touchdown strikes of 10

yards to Hayes and 25 yards to sophomore Kye Hildreth. Lamar's other

touchdowns came on runs of 21 yards by DePauldrick Garrett and 9 yards

by Venson.

Lamar gained 340 of its yards in the first half with 209 coming through

the air. Bevil went 9-for-12 for 189 yards and two TDs in the first half, while

Rios rushed for 94 first-half yards on 17 carries for UIW.

SAN MARCOS - Jeremy Johnson compiled 134 yards of total offense, but Texas

State had already done irreversible damage in the opening 30 minutes as Lamar Uni-

versity fell to the Bobcats 46-21.

The Bobcats finished with 535 yards of total offense, and they limited the Cardi-

nals to 246. Texas State accumulated 24 first downs to Lamar's 13, and the Bobcats

had the ball for 37:29 to the Cardinals' 22:31.

Johnson passed 12 yards to slot receiver Marcus Jackson for the Cardinals' first

touchdown of the second half, and he broke a 59-yard scoring run early in the fourth

quarter. After replacing starter Andre Bevil at quarterback early in the third quarter, he

finished with a net of 53 rushing yards on seven carries, and he completed three of

five passes for 81 yards.

Sophomore Caleb Harmon of Port Neches-Groves scored the Cardinals' other

touchdown with a three-yard run in the second quarter.

The Bobcat Stadium crowd of 15,028 witnessed a sterling, all-round performance

by Texas State quarterback Shaun Rutherford. The 6-foot junior from Bay City com-

pleted 17 of 26 passes for 243 yards and three touchdowns without throwing an inter-

ception, and he tacked on 57 rushing yards on 14 carries.

Jackson, a senior from Tyler Lee by way of Navarro College, was the game's

leading receiver with four catches for 119 yards.

Tim Hawkins ran for two touchdowns and caught an 8-yard scoring pass for the

Bobcats, who improved to 5-2 on the season, Chase Harper caught scoring passes of

12 and 34 yards. Lamar's second straight loss dropped the Cardinals' record to 3-3.

Texas State scored on its first five possessions in building the Bobcats' 35-7 half-

time bulge. The Bobcats compiled 275 total yards to the Cardinals' 103. Rutherford

finished the opening half at 12-for-17 for 173 yards and three touchdowns, and he

added 41 rushing yards.

Meanwhile, Bevil was 7-for-17 for 93 yards, and he was sacked three times. He

had a negative 12 yards on seven first-half carries. His only second-half attempt fell

incomplete.

BEAUMONT - Northwestern State quarterback Brad Henderson completed 26 of 34 passes

for 290 yards and three touchdowns, spoiling a brilliant receiving performance by Lamar University

split end J.J. Hayes.

Hayes caught 10 passes for a school-record 212 yards shattering the 192-yard record set by

Herbert Harris in a 1981 game against Louisiana Teech. Hayes scored Lamar's final touchdown on

a 40-yard pass from senior quarterback Andre Bevil in the fourth quarter, but the Demons iced the

game by answering with a 54-yard pass and run play from Henderson to D.J. Palmer.

Bevil also threw a first-quarter touchdown pass of 8 yards to Marcus Jackson, and the Cardi-

nals' other points came on a 26-yard field goal by sophomore Justin Stout in the third quarter.

Henderson's other touchdown passes went 5 yards to Trevor Goodie and 19 yards to Phillip

Harvey.

Cornerback Cortez Paige intercepted a Bevil pass on Lamar's first offensive play from scrim-

mage to set up the Demons' nine-play, 51-yard drive for the game's first score. It came on a 1-yard

dive by Sidney Riley, who carried the ball on five plays as the Demons kept the ball on the ground

for all but one play on the drive.

The Cardinals benefitted from a pair of 15-yard penalties on their ensuing eight-play, 60-yard

drive to the matching touchdown. The payoff came on Bevil's 8-yard pass to Jackson in right back of

the north end zone on the last offensive play of the first quarter.

A pair of offsides penalties helped the Demons as they answered with a 61-yard, 11-play touch-

down drive on which Henderson went three-for-three in the passing department. He completed a 5-

yarder to wide receiver Goodie for the touchdown, then defensive end Jesse Dickson broke through

to block Shaughnessy's extra point attempt, leaving the score at 13-7 Demons with 9:47 left in the

opening half.

Rumeal Morris broke a 53-yard off left tackle to spark the Demons on their seven-play, 66-

yard drive to their third touchdown of the evening. It gained the Lamar 13-yard line, but the Cardinal

defense eventually pushed the Demons into a third-and goal situation from the 19-yard line.

Henderson then connected with Harvey on a 19-yard, over-the-middle pass for the touchdown

that put the Demons up 20-7 with 3:49 left in the half. After forcing a Cardinal punt, the Demons

stretched their halftime lead to 27-7 on Riley's 5-yard run to complete a seven-play, 76-yard scoring

drive.

The Demons dominated the first-half statistics, rolling up 16 first downs to Lamar's nine, and

they outgained the Cardinals 270-118 in total yards. Henderson completed 15 of his 18 first-half

passes for 139 yards and two touchdowns, while Bevil went 8-for-15 for 97 yards and the lone touch-

down.

A 44-yard run by Octavious Logan on the second play of the third quarter moved the Cardinals

into scoring territory, but they wound up having to settle for Stout's 26-yard field goal that reduced

their deficit to 27-10 with 12:40 left in the period.

BEAUMONT - After playing turnover-free football in the first half, Lamar

University's football team committed two costly giveaways and had a couple

of letdowns in its kicking game in the second half of a 38-24 loss to the Uni-

versity of Central Arkansas.

With the Cardinals trailing by seven points, quarterback Andre Bevil

threw an interception that strong safety Jestin Love returned 31 yards for

the game's final touchdown, and split end J.J. Hayes lost a late-game fumble

that enabled the Bears to seal their fourth-straight victory.

Also, the Cardinals failed to execute a fake punt play, giving the Bears

excellent field position for their 32-yard drive to snap the game's 17-17 half-

time tie, and kicker Justin Stout had a 32-yard field goal attempt blocked

early in the third quarter.

Bevil and backup quarterback Jeremy Johnson combined for 332 yards

of total offense and accounted for three touchdowns. Bevil completed 23 of

29 passes for 234 yards and two touchdowns, and Johnson raced 55 yards

for the touchdown that pulled the Cardinals into a 24-24 tie at the 6:00 mark

of the third quarter.

Bevil's scoring tosses covered 13 yards to tight end Payden McVey

and 9 yards to slot receiver Marcus Jackson. The Cardinals' other points

came on Stout's 18-yard field goal in the second quarter.

The Bears received a 13-for-22, 187-yard passing performance from

senior quarterback Nathan Dick and a 67-yard rushing effort from Bobo. In

addition to the 51-yard touchdown pass to Bobo, Dick completed scoring

tosses of 12 yards to Jesse Grandy and 35 yards to Al Lasker.

The Bears' other scores came on a 1-yard dive by running back Jackie

Hinton and a 28-yard field goal by Eddie Camara.

Bevil completed 17 of his first 18 passes and finished the half 19-for23

for 198 yards and two touchdowns without throwing an interception.

HUNTSVILLE - No. 6-ranked Sam Houston State scored on six of its nine first

half possessions and held Lamar University scoreless for the first time this season as

the Bearkats coasted to a 66-0 win at Bowers Stadium.

The Cardinals entered the game averaging 383 yards per game but were limited

to just 98 total yards on 55 plays by a stingy Bearkat defense. SHSU had little trouble

moving the ball, rushing for 382 and passing for 177 for 559 total yards. The 66-point

margin of defeat was the second largest in school history, trailing last season's 68-

point margin at SFA (71-3).

It was an inauspicious start for the Cardinals as Bearkat quarterback Brian Bell

hit Richard Sincere on a 77-yard scoring strike on the game's first play from scrimmage.

Lamar quarterback Andre Bevil was flushed from the pocket and fumbled the ball

away to the Bearkats on the Cards' first possession. Bell hit Ryan Wilson for a 2-yard

touchdown to give SHSU a quick 14-0 lead with 11:47 remaining in the first quarter.

Daxton Swanson intercepted Bevil and returned it to the Lamar 1 on the Cardi-

nals’ ensuing possession. Tim Flanders, who rushed for 54 yards on 13 carries, scored

on a 1-yard plunge to give the Bearkats a 21-0 lead.

Sincere, who frequently lines up at quarterback in the Bearkats version of the

`Wildcat' formation, scored on a 40-yard run to extend their lead to 28-0 with 7:07 re-

maining in the second quarter. Flanders added two more scores on runs of 7 and 2

yards to give SHSU a 42-0 halftime lead.

SHSU posted a scoring drive on its first possession of the second half. Ryan Wil-

son capped the 8-play, 69-yard drive with a 17-yard run to push the lead to 49-0.

Wilson, who finished with 102 yards on seven carries, scored on a 3-yard run

with 3:28 remaining in the third. Keyshawn Hill took over at tailback for the Bearkats

late in the third and rushed for a game-high 135 yards on 14 carries. He scored on a

28-yard TD run with 53 seconds left in the third to make the score 63-0.

SHSU closed out the scoring on Craig Alaniz' 25-yard field goal in the fourth quar-

ter to provide the final margin. Bell completed 5-of-8 passes for 160 yards and two

touchdowns.

Prewitt, a sophomore from Beaumont, was the Cardinals leading rusher with 23

yards on six carries. He completed 5-of-15 passes for 46 yards. J.J. Hayes caught four

passes for 37 yards.

THIBODAUX, La. – Andre Bevil came off the bench to throw three

touchdown passes as Lamar University snapped its five-game losing streak

with a 34-19 victory over Nicholls.

Bevil, who did not play the previous week against Stephen F. Austin,

connected with J.J. Hayes on scoring strikes of 8 and 32 yards and with

Marcus Jackson for 14 yards. Bevil, who replaced starting quarterback Doug

Prewitt in the second quarter, finished the game at 14-for-23 for 186 yards.

Jackson and Hayes combined for 171 of the Cardinals’ 225 receiving

yards. Jackson had five catches for 64 yards, while Hayes snared four balls

for 107 yards.

Jackson also returned a kickoff 78 yards for a touchdown, and the op-

portunistic Cardinal defense came up with four turnovers, although it did

allow Nicholls quarterback LaQuintin Caston to run for 177 yards and one

touchdown.

Cornerbacks Keinon Peterson and Branden Thomas came up with in-

terceptions for the Cardinals, while linebacker Asim Hicks and defensive

end Marcus Malbrough had fumble recoveries.

In addition to his rushing yards, Caston completed 21 of 40 passes for

214 yards and two touchdowns.

BEAUMONT - Brady Attaway passed for 359 yards and five touch-

downs as Stephen F. Austin handed Lamar University its fifth-consecutive

loss by a 69-10 margin.

In just a little over three quarters of work, the 6-foot-1, 205-pound Att-

away completed 24 of 39 passes with only one interception. He led his team-

mates on touchdown drives of 79, 23, 34, 63, 50, 63, 80 and 90 yards.

Attaway had 229 of his passing yards and four of his scoring tosses in

the runaway first half in which the Lumberjacks built an insurmountable 55-

7 lead. The 55 points were 17 more than the Cardinals allowed to SFA in

their record-setting 71-3 loss in Nacogdoches last year.

The Lumberjacks enjoyed other eventful first-half happenings such as

Ben Wells' 40-yard interception return for a touchdown and Jordan Aubrey's

29-yard return of a blocked punt for a score. Also, a fumble recovery on a

Lamar kickoff return set up Keith Lawson's 23-yard bolt up the middle for

an early first-quarter TD, and Travis Walker contributed a 1-yard scoring

dive.

Defensively, the Jacks sacked Lamar sophomore quarterback Doug

Prewitt five times in the opening half, and they added four more sacks in

the final two quarters. The Cardinals limited the Cardinals to 16 net rushing

yards and 76 passing yards in the first half and to 40 yards rushing and 173

total yards.

Forty of Lamar's 76 first-half passing yards came on wide receiver

Kevin Smith's grab of a Prewitt pass for the Cards' only score of the opening

half. In the first start of the season, the Beaumont Kelly product completed

16 of 28 attempts for 133 yards for one touchdown with one interception.

BEAUMONT, - J.J. Hayes set the school record for receiving yards in

a season and the mark for catches in a game in Lamar University's 45-17

loss to McNeese State.

Hayes completed his sensational two-season Cardinal career by catch-

ing 14 passes for 189 yards and one touchdown. The 14 catches are one

more than former Lamar star Herbert Harris caught in a 1981 game against

Louisiana Tech, and the 189 yards boosted his season total to 951, giving

him 33 more than Chris Ford had in 1989.

Hayes, a 6-foot-3, 210-pound split end from Diboll, hauled in a 24-yard

touchdown pass from Andre Bevil for the touchdown that gave the Cardinals

a 7-3 lead in the first quarter. By halftime, he had nine catches for 113 yards,

and he finished the third quarter with 12 for 165 yards.

Hayes' final collegiate reception was a 17-yarder from backup quarter-

back Caleb Berry with 35 seconds remaining.

The Cardinals threw four interceptions, including two for touchdowns -

- a 44 yarder in the third quarter by junior free safety Malcolm Bronson of

Jasper and an 84-yarder in the game's final minute by junior cornerback

Janzen Jackson. The Cowboys had a 67-yard touchdown dash by sopho-

more quarterback Dionta Spencer early in the fourth quarter.

Bevil, a senior from West Orange-Stark, completed 17 of 36 passes

for 186 yards and one touchdown before leaving the game with an elbow

injury early in the third quarter. Berry, a freshman from Needville, went 16

for 23 for 150 yards and one touchdown - a 12-yarder to Jesse Sparks on

the first play of the fourth quarter. Each quarterback threw two interceptions.

Lamar's defenders stopped Cowboys three yards short of the north end

zone on their first possession to force Josh Lewis' 20-yard field goal.

The Cardinals then drove 80 yards on eight plays to seize a 7-3 lead

on Bevil's 24-yard pass to Hayes and Justin Stout's extra point. Another key

play on the drive was a Bevil pass to senior slot receiver Marcus Jackson

for 28 yards.

A little over two minutes later, Chad Allen intercepted a Cody Stroud

pass and returned it four yards to give the Cardinals possession at the Mc-

Neese 37-yard line. A 15-yard personal foul penalty on the Cowboys and a

running completion of 16 yards by Bevil to Hayes moved the ball to the 5-

yard line.

Four plays later, however, the Cardinals had to settle for Stout's 20-

yard field goal that made it 10-3 with 2:22 left in the first quarter.

Champlain Babin's 51-yard return of the ensuing kickoff gave the Cow-

boys excellent field position, and on their first play from scrimmage Darius

Carey weaved his way through the Lamar secondary en route to his 34-yard

touchdown run. Lewis' conversion tied the score at 10-10 with 2:05 left in

the quarter.

With 2:48 left in the second quarter Kentrell Butler intercepted a Bevil

pass to leave the Cowboys only 36 yards to drive for the tie-breaking touch-

down. They negotiated that distance on two runs by Carey and two by Andre

Anderson with the final one being an 11-yarder with 1:15 left in the half.

Bevil got 146 of his 186 first-half passing yards in the opening quarter.

He completed 17 of 33 attempts, and he was also Lamar's leading rusher

in the half with a net of 23 yards.

Meanwhile, the Cowboys stuck mainly on the ground in the opening

half as they accounted for 104 of their 160 total yards with their rushing at-

tack. Carey led the way with 62 yards on seven carries, and he finished with

80 on 12 totes.

Bronson stepped in front of Bevil's intended receiver to make his dam-

aging interception and sped 44 yards untouched to the north end zone to

give the Cowboys a 24-10 lead with 9:24 remaining in the third quarter.

On the Cardinals' second possession after he replaced Bevil at quar-

terback, Berry guided a seven-play, 98-yard drive that reduced the deficit to

24-17. On the first play of the fourth quarter, the freshman from Needville

went over the middle to Sparks for the final 12 yards. The other big play in

the drive was a 36-yard Berry pass to Hayes pass.

The Cowboys forced a punt on Lamar's next possession, then drove

90 yards on six plays to score the touchdown that increased their lead to

31-17. The payoff was a quarterback draw by Spencer on which he outraced

the Cardinal secondary for 67 yards with 4:38 left.

Anderson scored his second touchdown of the night on a 2-yard dive

with 3:55 remaining, and Jackson's 84-yard interception return came with

48 seconds left.


The Southland Conference

In an era of considerable change in inter-

collegiate athletics, the Southland Conference

continues to be a model of innovation, stability

and consistent achievement as it celebrates the

academic and athletic accomplishments of its

member institutions.

What began as a small gathering of college

administrators nearly 50 years ago, the South-

land Conference has transformed itself into a

dynamic and respected consortium of 11 mem-

ber universities in four states. Beginning with a

historic meeting of five institutions in Dallas on

March 15, 1963, that included current member

Lamar University (then Lamar State College of

Technology), the Southland Conference set on an

extraordinary course that has proven successful well into its fifth decade

of existence.

The successful transformation continues. On Oct. 11, 2011, the

Southland Conference announced the addition of Oral Roberts Univer-

sity, effective for the 2012-13 academic year, marking the league’s first

entry into the state of Oklahoma and the Tulsa metropolitan area. Shortly

thereafter, on Nov. 21, the Southland announced the addition of Houston

Baptist University for the 2013-14 academic year, giving the league an

11th member and its first institution in the region’s largest city, home to

significant student-recruitment and alumni bases.

In addition to its two newest members, the Southland Conference

membership also consists of the University of Central Arkansas, Lamar

University, McNeese State University, Nicholls State University, North-

western State University, Sam Houston State University, Southeastern

Louisiana University, Stephen F. Austin State University and Texas A&M

University-Corpus Christi.

All told, the membership of the Southland encompasses approxi-

mately 120,000 current students and an alumni base of nearly 700,000.

Famous alums from current Southland Conference schools include for-

mer CBS news anchor Dan Rather (Sam Houston State), NBA executive

Joe Dumars (McNeese State), ABC news anchor Robin Roberts (South-

eastern Louisiana), major League Baseball stars Kevin Millar (Lamar) and

Mike Miley (Southeastern Louisiana), NBA legend Scottie Pippen (Central

Arkansas), Grammy Award-winning musicians Don Henley and Rodney

Crowell (both Stephen F. Austin), NFL standout Lardarius Webb

(Nicholls State), PGA Tour golfer Chris Stroud (Lamar), award-winning

filmmaker Richard Linklater (Sam Houston State), American Idol winner

Kris Allen (Central Arkansas), NCAA football coach Charlie Strong (Cen-

tral Arkansas), TV personality Kathie Lee Gifford (Oral Roberts), and

NFL coaching legend O.A. “Bum” Phillips (Lamar, Stephen F. Austin),

The cities of the Southland are diverse and progressive, ranging from

international business and cultural centers such as Houston, New Orleans,

Tulsa and Little Rock, to the historical cities of Nacogdoches, Texas, and

Natchitoches, La., to the home of the modern oil boom, Beaumont,

Texas, to the unique Cajun French cultures found in the Louisiana cities

of Thibodaux and Lake Charles. Southland Conference institutions also

draw large numbers of students from the metropolitan areas of Dallas-

Fort Worth, San Antonio, Baton Rouge, Austin, and Shreveport.

The Southland sponsors 17 championship sports, all at the NCAA

Division I level. The eight men’s sports include baseball, basketball, cross

country, football, golf, tennis, and indoor and outdoor track and field.

The women compete for nine championships in basketball, cross country,

golf, soccer, softball, tennis, indoor and outdoor track and field, and vol-

leyball. The conference earns automatic qualification to NCAA champi-

onships in baseball, men’s and women’s basketball, men’s and women’s

cross country, football, men’s and women’s golf, women’s soccer, softball,

men’s and women’s tennis, and volleyball.

Continuing its tradition of innovation, the league launched the South-

land Conference Television Network in the fall of 2008 and has already

broadcast more than 130 events. The network is expanding its reach to

roughly 11 million households throughout Texas, Louisiana, Arkansas

and Oklahoma in 2012-13. In its first four years, the regional network has

received recognition for its work, earning College Sports Media and Telly

Awards on a regular basis.

The Southland Conference, in conjunction with the city of Frisco,

Texas and Hunt Sports Group, also serves as the host to the NCAA Di-

vision I Football Championship Game in Frisco, which has been home

to the conference headquarters since 2006. The game is played at Frisco’s

FC Dallas Stadium.

Southland Conference football ranks among the best Football Cham-

pionship Subdivision leagues in the nation, and enjoys an annual expec-

tation of competing for the national championship with multiple teams

advancing to the NCAA playoffs each year. In 2011, Sam Houston State

finished the regular season undefeated and ranked No. 1 nationally, and

advanced to the NCAA national championship game. Also, in 2002 and

2003, McNeese State finished the regular season ranked No. 1 in the na-

tion, and advanced to the 2002 national championship contest. The con-

ference has been represented in seven national championship games since

the league joined the Football Championship Subdivision (formerly I-

AA) in 1982. All told, Southland teams have played in 99 Division I play-

off games in 30 years, winning 47 of the contests.

Historically, the Southland’s successful football heritage has sustained

itself through numerous membership and classification changes. Origi-

nally an NAIA conference, the Southland joined the NCAA College Di-

vision in 1968. The College Division was re-named NCAA Division II

in 1973, and the league played two seasons in that class, before joining

Division I in 1975. The Southland was an NCAA Division I-A league

from 1978-81, before joining the ranks of FCS in 1982, its home ever

since.

During its tenure as a Division I-A conference, the Southland Con-

ference was instrumental in the startup of the Independence Bowl in

1976. The Southland representative served as the host team of the bowl

until 1980, compiling a 2-3 record in those contests.

The conference can lay claim to five national championships, includ-

ing College Division championships through former members Arkansas

State (1970, UPI) and Louisiana Tech (1972, National Football Founda-

tion). Louisiana Tech also won the first NCAA-sanctioned national title,

winning the Division II playoffs in 1973. Tech followed that with the

UPI’s Division II national championship in 1974. Louisiana-Monroe won

the 1987 national championship.

The Southland has produced 163 first-team football All-Americans

during its history and in 2010, Stephen F. Austin quarterback Jeremy

Moses became the first player in Southland history to receive the Walter

Payton Award, which is presented annually to the most outstanding foot-

ball player at the FCS level.

The Southland is one of five FCS conferences with at least 200 selec-

tions (205) in the National Football League draft. The league also ranks

third in the FCS with 25 players taken in the draft since 2000 and has 13

former players on NFL rosters heading into the 2012 season.

Football History


Lamar Football History

From its birth as South Park Junior College

in 1923, to its days as Lamar College, the ones

as Lamar State College of Technology (Lamar

Tech) and, finally, as Lamar University, the Car-

dinals have had an up-and-down – yet rich-

and-proud football tradition.

Actually, when South Park JC’s football

players took the field for the first time only 12

days after the opening of the institution on

Sept. 17, 1923, the team didn’t have a nick-

name. The players, who defeated South Park

High School 25-0 at Beaumont’s old Magnolia

Park that afternoon were identified as “the col-

legians” by sports writer Spike Cooper in the

next day’s Beaumont Enterprise.

Playing center for South Park JC in that first

game was John Gray, later to serve the school

as football coach from 1932 to 1939 and dur-

ing two tenures as university president. Star

running back for “the collegians” that day was

Paul (Hog) Kinnear, and the team captain was

fullback Ernest (Gus) Laminack.

During its seven-game inaugural season,

South Park JC played two high schools, three

senior colleges and two senior college fresh-

man teams and compiled a 2-4-1 record. The

other win was a 10-0 decision over Stephen F.

Austin College and the tie was 0-0 against Port

Arthur High School.

After the team’s midseason loss of 19-16 to

Southwestern Louisiana, The Enterprise’s

Cooper wrote, “From end to end and fullback

to center, the collegians are the fightingest little

football team we’ve ever seen.”

Dunlap

(Bull) John-

son became

South Park

JC’s football

coach in

1924, and

the 25-

player team

responded

with a splen-

did 7-3 sea-

son. The

team rolled

up a com-

bined 122

points in

t h r o w i n g

four-succes-

sive shutouts

to open the

season, and the student body selected Brahmas

the nickname for the school’s athletic teams. In

a 23-0 victory over Rusk Junior College to

complete the shutout streak, star quarterback

F.S. (Spud) Braden completed 13 of 18 passes

for 190 yards, statistics uncommon to football

in those days of run, run and run some more.

The University of Texas freshman team

handed the Brahmas their first loss 9-7, and

their other defeats came against Southwestern

Louisiana 20-8 and the Rice University fresh-

men 7-6. The Brahmas wore red jerseys for the

first time that season, shedding the green and

white colors of South Park High School.

The 1925 season saw the Brahmas under

the tutelage of yet another coach – Lilburn

Dimmitt, and they slumped to a 1-5-2 record

with the lone win being 6-0 over Beaumont

High. The ties were 2-2 with the Rice freshmen

and 0-0 with Stephen F. Austin College.

Gray completed his three-year South Park

JC playing career that season and at the unbe-

lievably young age of 19 became head coach

at South Park High School in 1926.

As in the previous three seasons, the 1926

Brahmas had a new head football coach as Joe

J. Vincent took over and guided them to a 2-4

record. The wins were 25-0 over Victoria Jun-

ior College and 9-0 over Sam Houston State.

The 1930s

With the home crowds dwindling below the

300 level for most of the 1926 season, the

football program was discontinued for five

years, but it returned in 1932 when the school

name was changed to Lamar College in honor

of Mirabeau Lamar, known as the founder of

Texas education. Former South Park JC bas-

ketball star Otho Plummer, later to serve the

university for many years as a member of the

board of regents, picked Cardinals as the new

school mascot.

After compiling a 35-20-5 record in six sea-

sons at South Park High School, Gray became

Lamar College’s first football coach and guided

the Cardinals to a 40-30-4 record over eight

seasons, beginning with a fine 8-1 mark in

1932. The wins included a 39-0 blitzing of

Blinn College, and the lone loss was 6-0 to the

SMU freshmen in the mud and rain in Greenie

Stadium on Thanksgiving Day. A blocked punt

at the 3-yard line led to the game’s only touch-

down.

Season tickets for seven home games in

1932 were $1.50 each, a far cry from the $60

to $400 price range for season tickets for this

year’s second season of Lamar football after its

return from a 21-year hiatus. Another indica-

tion of how much football has changed over

the years is that the average weight for the 1932

Cardinals was 158 pounds per man.

Quarterback Jake Verde, who later played

his senior col-

lege football at

Texas, led the

1932 Cardinals

by running for

four touch-

downs and

passing for six

more, and he

also served as

the team’s

kicker. The

gem of the

C a r d i n a l s ’

1932 season

was their 6-0

victory over

heavily-favored

Southwestern

Louisiana, sparked by a 35-yard Verde-to-

Ernest Byerly touchdown pass and two fourth-

quarter interceptions by Ovey Babin.

By 1933, there were enough junior colleges

playing football in Texas for the state to divide

into sections and originate a plan to determine

a state champion. Although the Cardinals

weren’t as strong as they had been the previous

year, they advanced to the state championship

game but lost it to Amarillo Junior College 27-

14 in Beaumont’s Purple Stadium in mid-De-

cember.

The Cardinals logged a 5-3-2 record during

the regular season in 1933 and defeated

Schreiner Institute 20-14 in the first round of

the state playoffs. Defense was the trademark

of that team as the Cardinals held nine oppo-

nents to seven or fewer points, although two

of those games were scoreless ties. Actually,

the tone for the season was set in the Cardinals’

opener when they piled up a whopping 24-4

advantage over East Texas Baptist in first

downs and a 408-101 lead in total yards but

lost on the scoreboard 7-6.

Just past the mid-point of that season, nine

different players scored 10 touchdowns as the

Cardinals rang up a 71-0 blanking of Blinn

College. Two weeks later, Verde exploded for

touchdown runs of 83 and 67 yards, and he re-

turned an interception 50 yards for another

score in a 40-7 romp over Victoria Junior Col-

lege.

A near-perfect 7-0-1 regular season cata-

pulted the 1934 Cardinals into the state play-

offs again, and they edged Schreiner Institute

7-6 in their semifinal matchup. The Cards had

to travel to the Panhandle, however, for their

rematch with Amarillo Junior College in the

championship game which they lost 34-7 de-

spite being in a 7-7 tie at halftime.

E.A. “Beans” LaBauve was a

1979 inductee to the Cardinal

Hall of Honor.

John Gray became head

coach in 1932 and compiled

a 40-30-4 record over eight

seasons.



Early that season, the Cardinals won back-

to-back games against the Texas Shorthorns

(the University of Texas’ freshman team) by

the scores of 7-0 and 16-0, and they also

tossed shutouts of 32-0 and 19-0 over St.

Mary’s University and Victoria Junior College.

The 1935 Cardinals slumped to a 4-2-1 reg-

ular-season record and lost their state playoff

opener 20-0 to Schreiner Institute. The season

was highlighted by a six-day railroad trip to

Mexico City to oppose Mexico Poly in the first

of several games played between the institu-

tions over the coming years.

Although the Cardinals posted a so-so 2-3

regular-season record in 1936, they qualified

for the playoffs and came within 15 yards of

winning a state title. Kilgore College held off

a late Lamar drive at the 15-yard line to pre-

serve its 10-7 championship win on Dec. 5, in

Greenie Stadium.

The 1937 Cardinals went 5-3 during the reg-

ular season and lost their playoff opener 14-6

to Schreiner Institute. They then hosted Mex-

ico Poly in an exhibition game that they won

27-13.

The final two seasons of the 1930s decade

saw the Cardinals dip to records of 2-6-1 and

2-7. They suffered four shutouts in 1939 when

they scored more than seven points in only one

game – an 18-0 win over Texas Lutheran Col-

lege.

The 1939 season marked the end of the

John Gray Era as football coach. In an article

in The Houston Post, sports writer L.R. Gold-

man wrote, “John Gray always performed mir-

acles with the material he had. He had the

ability to get 110 percent from his players.”

The 1940s

R.M. (Monk) Hodgkiss moved over from

South Park High School to succeed the popu-

lar Gray as head coach for the 1940 season.

The Cardinals failed to even register a first

down in his debut – a 27-0 loss to Kilgore Col-

lege, and the Cards suffered three more

shutouts during a lackluster 2-4-1 season.

With victories in the last two games,

Hodgkiss coaxed a break-even 4-4 season out

of the Cardinals in 1941. Among the Cardinal

players that year were Oail (Bum) Phillips and

Theo (Cotton) Miles, both of whom went on

to establish great reputations as football

coaches – Miles at the high school level and

Phillips at the high school, college and profes-

sional levels.

With World War II escalating overseas,

Lamar played the 1942 season with only 23

players, and the team went 2-6-1 under new

head coach Ted Dawson. The school then dis-

continued football for the remaining war years

of 1943, 1944 and 1945.

In 1946, Lamar College joined Tarleton

State, Kilgore College, North Texas Agricul-

tural College (the forerunner to UT Arlington),

Paris Junior College, San Angelo JC and

Schreiner Institute in creating the Southwest-

ern Junior College Conference. Each school

was obligated to field teams in football, basket-

ball, track, tennis and golf, so thusly, Lamar’s

first all-round intercollegiate athletic program

developed.

The Cardinals returned to the football field

with resounding success in 1946, carving an 8-

2 record under new coach Ted Jefferies, who

won a state championship at Wichita Falls

High School in 1941. As did many other hard-

nosed veterans, Bum Phillips returned from

the war and captained the 1946 team that

launched its season with an 83-0 dismantling

of Decatur Baptist College.

The Cardinals registered five other shutouts

in 1946, and they outscored their opponents

by a combined 241-37. Chick Forwald joined

Lamar as head coach in 1947, and the Cardi-

nals slipped to a 4-6 record.

Stan Lambert became Lamar’s head football

coach in 1948 and promptly guided the Cardi-

nals to a 7-4 regular-season record and the

school’s first berth in a bowl game. Playing be-

fore a home crowd in the season-ending

Spindletop Bowl, the Cardinals easily disposed

of Hinds (Miss.) Junior College 21-0. Cardinal

stars that season included quarterback Joe

Westerman, end Bob Frederick, running back

Jimmy McNeil and offensive and defensive

back Francis (Smitty) Hill.

Lamar made its swan song as a junior col-

lege football program a huge success in 1949

by roaring to a Southwestern Junior College

co-championship, a 10-2 record and two post-

season bowl games. Along the way, the Cardi-

nals scored a school-record 346 points.

At the conclu-

sion of the season, the

Cardinals lost a 21-20

heartbreaker to Pearl

River (Miss.) in the Me-

morial Bowl in Jackson,

Miss. Back home in the

Spindletop Bowl, the

Cards rolled to a 35-14

win over Georgia Military

Institute behind the run-

ning and passing of Mc-

Neil and two touchdown

catches by Frederick.

The 1950s

Although it remained a junior college for

one last year, Lamar began its transition to sen-

ior college status by lining up an all-senior-col-

lege schedule for the 1950 season. Despite

being outmanned by some teams, Lambert’s

Cardinals managed a 5-4-1 record highlighted

by victories of 34-7 over Southwest Oklahoma

State and 75-0 over Daniel Baker College. The

Cardinals intercepted six passes in the win over

Southwest Oklahoma, and eight different Car-

dinals scored at least one touchdown in the

rout of Daniel Baker College.

Lamar’s name changed to Lamar State Col-

lege of Technology for its first official season

as a four-year institution in 1951 – one that saw

the Cardinals go 6-4 overall and 2-3 in the

Lone Star Conference. That season saw the

emergence of wiry running back Sammy Car-

penter, a 144-pounder from Orange, as

Lamar’s first real superstar. He rushed for 607

yards and

scored 54

points as a

freshman.

In his

sophomore

season of

1952, Car-

penter set

long-lasting

s c h o o l

records of

210 rushing

yards vs. Sul

Ross State,

1,005 rush-

ing yards for

the season

and 13

touchdowns

for 78 points

in the season. The 210 yards stood until Bur-

ton Murchison broke the mark with 222 yards

vs. Prairie View A&M and then 259 yards vs.

Rice later in the 1985 season; the 1,005 yards

stood until Murchison ran for 1,547 in 1985,

and the 78 points in a season remain a school

record.

After winning two of their first three games

in 1952, the Cardinals stumbled to six-straight

losses and a 2-7 record marred by losses of 48-

0 to East Texas State and 66-7 to Trinity Uni-

versity.

When Lambert moved up to director of

athletics in 1953, his top assistant J.B. Higgins

took over as head coach and began what would

become the most successful era in Lamar’s

Bob Frederick

starred in football,

basketball and

baseball at Lamar.

J.B. Higgins coached Lamar’s

only undefeated team to an

8-0-2 record in 1957.

tory.

Known

a f f e c t i on -

ately as

“Hig” by his

friends, Hig-

gins went 3-

7 in each of

his first two

seasons, but

i m p r o v e -

ment began

to show in

1955 (4-6

record) and

1956 (4-4-1).

The Cardi-

nals then en-

joyed the school’s only undefeated record with

an 8-0-2 mark in 1957.

Carpenter ended his senior season in 1954

with 2,703 career rushing yards, a figure that

now ranks second only to the 3,598 yards com-

piled by Murchison over the 1984-1987 sea-

sons.

Higgins, who compiled a 59-38-4 record in

his 10-season tenure as head coach, pointed to

the 4-4-1 1956 season as being the most pivotal

for Lamar’s improving program. The Cardinals

gave an indication of what was to come in the

near future when they clobbered Sul Ross State

34-7 in their finale.

Ties of 7-7 with Sam Houston State and 13-

13 with Texas A&I were the only glitches in

the Cardinals’ superb 1957 season that saw

270-pound offensive and defensive lineman

Dudley Meredith become Lamar’s first bona-

fide All-America selection. The ties forced the

Cardinals to share the Lone Star Conference

championship with East Texas State, a team

they edged 7-6. In their season finale, the Cards

rolled up a then school-record 562 yards of

total offense in a 67-19 trouncing of Sul Ross

State.

For an encore in 1958, the Cardinals got de-

fensive-minded as they led the LSC in rushing

defense, passing defense and total defense

while carving a 6-2 record. Their losses – in

back-to-back games against Howard Payne and

Southwest Texas State – were by a total of six

points, and they outscored their opposition by

188-52 for the season.

By winning their first seven games in 1959,

the Cardinals climbed to No. 1 in the nation in

all of the college division polls. They outscored

their opponents by a 21.1-4.9 average margin

during that streak that ended with a 14-12 loss

to Howard Payne. They also lost their next two

games to Texas A&I and East Texas State be-

fore closing their 8-3 season with a 27-14 vic-

tory over Sam Houston State.

Guard John Donaho and fullback Shepard

Touchett were All-LSC performers for the Car-

dinals in 1959, and Ronnie Fontenot led the

team in rushing with 551 yards.

The 1960s

For the seventh-straight year, Lamar won its

season opener in 1960 as scatbacks Jimmy

Davis and Ronnie Fontenot dazzled the Mex-

ico Poly Burros with broken-field running in a

42-6 victory played before a crowd of 3,000 in

Port Neches. Higgins’ Cardinals went on to

post eight wins for the second-straight season

and the third time in four years as they went 8-

4, including a 5-2 mark in the LSC.

Davis had 123 rushing yards and Fontenot

111 in the win over Mexico Poly, and that game

marked the starting debut for Windell Hebert,

who went on to become one of Lamar’s most

durable and reliable quarterbacks. A 20-0 loss

to Louisiana Tech in Week 2 was Lamar’s first

by shutout in seven years, but the Cardinals

were blanked twice more during the season –

by Texas A&I and by East Texas State. They

rebounded, however, to win their final two

games 18-7 over Sam Houston State and 41-

21 over South Dakota.

With 457 yards, Fontenot led the team in

rushing for a second-straight season, and he

earned All-LSC recognition along with guard

Nader Bood. That season also saw the emer-

gence of Bobby Jancik, who later was Ameri-

can Football League Rookie of the Year as a

defensive back for the 1962 Houston Oilers.

Jancik reached stardom and Little All-Amer-

ica status the next season as he helped lead

Higgins’ Cardinals to an 8-2-1 record and a

berth in the 1961 Tangerine Bowl, the top

postseason game for College Division schools.

He scored 62 points, rushed for 302 yards and

caught 16 passes for an additional 357 yards,

including fourth-quarter touchdown snares of

64 and 55 yards in a 38-34 come-from-behind

win over Northeast Louisiana in the Cardinals’

season opener..

The 1961 Cardinals scored 282 points to set

a school record that stood until the 1987 team

bettered it by a scant point. Joining Jancik as

offensive mainstays that season were Hebert,

Fontenot, Jimmy Davis, Armour McManus

and Ralph Stone. Hebert, who passed for 1,214

yards and 11 touchdowns that year, was

stunned by the death of his mother at mid-sea-

son but two days later threw for 109 yards in a

33-13 victory over Howard Payne before a

crowd of 9,000 in Greenie Stadium.

Defensive leaders in 1961 included line-

backer Lindley King from Orange and safety

David Webb, who intercepted a still-standing

school-record seven passes.

The J.B. Higgins era as head coach ended

after the 1962 season during which the Cardi-

nals posted a 7-3 record to improve his 10-sea-

son record to 58-38-4. Two of the Cards’

losses that season were seven-point LSC deci-

sions to Texas A&I and Southwest Texas State,

both ranked in the NAIA’s Top 10.

Hebert threw for a then school-record 231

yards in the loss to Southwest Texas, and he

finished his senior season with 81 completions

for 1,112 yards and seven TDs. King was both

a first-team All-LSC and first-team Little All-

America selection.

As Lamar moved from the NAIA and the

Lone Star Conference to the NCAA and the

Southland Conference in 1963, Vernon Glass

succeeded Higgins as head football coach. The

former Rice University quarterback and Baylor

University assistant coach went on to win a

school-record 63 games over an up-and-down

13-season career with the Cardinals.

The popular Glass got off to a 5-4 start in

1963, and his up seasons included marks of 7-

3 in 1967, 8-3 in 1972 and 8-2 in 1974. Glass’

down seasons saw the Cardinals go 0-10 in

1968 and 1-10 in 1975, his last year.

At the mid-point of his first season as head

coach, Glass made the bold move of turning

over the quarterback reins to Phillip Primm, a

red-headed freshman who eventually led the

Cardinals to three-straight SLC championships.

He led the Cardinals in passing and total of-

fense in each of his four seasons and remains

No. 2 career-wise in both categories with 4,036

p a s s i n g

yards and

4,379 total

yards.

Sammy Carpenter had Lamar’s

first 1,000-yard rushing season

with 1,005 yards in 1951.

Jake David was an All-South-

land Conference player for the

Cardinals in 1965 & 1966.



Darrell Johnson scored the first touchdown in

stadium history on a 30-yard run in the second

quarter, and the Cardinals went on to post a 6-

3-1 record, win the SLC championship and

earn a berth in the 1964 Pecan Bowl.

The Cardinals’ losses that season were by a

combined eight points – 33-28 to the San

Diego Marines, 13-12 to Texas A&I and 19-17

to State College of Iowa in the Pecan Bowl.

While Primm, Harold LaFitte and Dan Yezak

led the offense that season, lineman Anthony

Guillory and linebacker Vernon McManus

sparked the defense.

A gem to the 1964 season was a non-con-

ference, 21-14 victory over major college foe

New Mexico State. Primm helped spark that

win by completing 12 of 18 passes for 130

yards.

Although Primm was plagued by injuries,

the Cardinals managed a 6-4 record and an-

other SLC championship in 1965. Primm’s

two-point conversion pass to Frazer Dealy in

the last two minutes enabled the Cards to nip

East Central Oklahoma 15-14 in their opener,

and they won three of their next four games

before suffering back-to-back losses to Texas

A&I and Southwestern Louisiana. Included in

the early-season burst was a 20-7 victory over

Arkansas State witnessed by a then-record

crowd of 16,000 in Cardinal Stadium.

The Cardinals clinched the SLC champi-

onship with a 21-3 triumph over Trinity Uni-

versity in which fullback Eugene Washington

reeled off a then school-record 85-yard TD

run. Primm, McManus, LaFitte, Jake David,

Dick Croxton, Ed Marcontell, Bill Kilgore and

Mike Allman were All-SLC picks that season.

With Primm passing for a then school-

record 1,549 yards, the 1966 Cardinals shared

the SLC championship with Texas-Arlington,

a team they defeated 27-7. A 23-14 loss to

Trinity University prevented the Cards from

winning the title outright.

Primm hit his high water mark of the sea-

son by completing 14 of 18 passes for 224

yards and four TDs in a 42-16 SLC romp over

Abilene Christian, and linebacker Danny Jones

led the Cards with 15 tackles in a 17-0 blanking

of Arkansas State. Another big win that season

was a 31-16 decision over Terry Bradshaw-led

Louisiana Tech.

Lamar’s bid for a fourth-successive SLC

championship ended in the final game of the

1967 season when Skipper Butler kicked three

field goals to help UTA defeat the Cards 16-

10. Still, they won seven-straight games over

one stretch and finished the season with a fine

7-3 record.

successive All-SLC award, and Kilgore, Johnny

Fuller and offensive guard Spergon Wynn were

all picked for a second time, while Darrell Min-

gle, Richard Bjerke and Bill Groberg were first-

year picks.

The Cardinals came close to winning three

times during their 0-10 1968 season, but they

never quite pulled off the needed big play in

losses of 16-14 to New Mexico State, 20-14 to

Southwestern Louisiana and 24-20 to Trinity.

Still, sophomore split end Ronnie Gebauer

caught a then school-record 56 passes for 831

yards, and defensive tackle Richard Cummings

and defensive back Benny Lansford were All-

SLC performers.

The Cardinals ended the 1960s decade with

a 3-7 record in 1969 but went 0-4 in the SLC.

Their wins came against McNeese State, New

Mexico State and Southern Illinois in their first

four games, and they ended the season with

six-straight losses.

An example of the Cardinals’ futility that

season came in their game against Louisiana

Tech. Quarterback Tommy Tomlin threw for

308 yards and a school-record six touchdowns,

but he didn’t come close to matching the num-

bers put up by Terry Bradshaw in a 77-40 Tech

win.

The 1970s

The 1970 Cardinals started their season im-

pressively, upsetting West Texas State 33-28 as

Tomlin completed 12 of 14 passes and then

holding off Louisiana Tech 6-0 in a rainstorm

in Cardinal Stadium in Week 2. A 32-16 road

loss to Southern Illinois sidetracked the Cards

the next week, and Tomlin went down with a

practice injury a few days later that kept him

our of action for four games.

The Cards went on to lose six more games

in a row before blanking Texas-Arlington 24-0

in the finale of their 3-7 season. They surren-

dered 309 points in 10 games, a dubious record

that stood until the 1986 and 1987 teams gave

up 339 and 386 points in back-to-back seasons.

Gebauer had 39 catches for 540 yards in

1970 to become the first and still only Cardinal

to amass more than 2,000 receiving yards. His

149 career catches and 2,098 career yards re-

main at the top of Lamar’s career lists. Also,

Bennie Lansford finished his career that year

with a still-standing 14 interceptions.

With Lamar languishing with a 1-4 record

at the midpoint of the 1971 season, Glass

rolled the dice by switching from the I Forma-

tion on offense to the Wishbone T. With

squatty quarterback Glen Hill at the controls

of the Wishbone, it produced four-successive

wins to close the season and a tie with

Louisiana Tech and Trinity University for the

SLC championship. The streak started with a

30-28 win over Abilene Christian in which Hill

rushed for 100 yards and kicked the winning

30-yard field goal.

Glass’ 1972 Cardinals pulled off a 42-28

road upset of Texas-El Paso in their second

game and went on to post a fine 8-3 record.

Doug Matthews, later to become Galveston’s

city manager and a Lamar regent, rushed for

101 yards in the UTEP game and for a team-

best 689 yards for the season.

A first-quarter field goal of 41 yards by

Mike Drake stood up as the Cardinals defeated

Southwestern Louisiana 3-0 as cornerback

Donald Hill sparked the defense with two in-

terceptions. Another highlight to the season

was Matthews’ 135-yard rushing performance

in a 25-19 road victory over New Mexico State.

Matthews, offensive tackle Charles Cantrell,

split end Joe Bowser and safety Rondy Colbert

were all first-team All-SLC selections.

Lamar gained major college classification in

football for the 1973 season, and the Cardinals

compiled a 5-5 record against a beefed-up

schedule that included road games at New

Mexico State, Drake University and Texas-El

Paso. They scored 17 fourth-quarter points to

win the UTEP game 31-27 as Bobby Flores

passed 8 yards to Steve DeRouen for the win-

ning touchdown with a mere 12 seconds re-

maining.

The Cardinals also scored late in their

matching 10-7 SLC wins over Arkansas State

and Texas-Arlington. Flores threw 11 yards to

Larry Spears for the clinching score against

Arkansas State, and Jabo Leonard booted a 27-

yard field goal for the winning points against

UTA.

Joe Bowser, who led the Cardinals in receiv-

ing with 38 catches for 545 yards and three

TDs, was their lone offensive representative on

the 1973 All-SLC First Team, while end Leon

Babineaux and safety Rondy Colbert, who later

played in the NFL, were defensive first-team-

ers.

Bolstered by nine returning offensive

starters and 10 defensive regulars from the

1973 team, Glass’ 1974 Cardinals went on to

post a fine 8-2 season. They won six of their

first seven games, and their only losses were

37-21 to Mississippi State and 28-0 to peren-

nially-tough Louisiana Tech.

Fullback Dale Spence ran for two TDs in

the Cardinals’ 18-6 season-opening victory

over Drake University, and a 64-yard scoring

pass from Flores to Larry Spears helped spark

their 27-7 triumph at North Texas State the

next week. Flores ran for two TDs, and cor-

nerback Audwin Samuel returned an intercep-

tion 60 yards for another score as the Cardinals

defeated Southwestern Louisiana 38-13 in

Week 3.

While subbing for the injured Flores in the

Cardinals’ SLC opener at Arkansas State, Al

Rabb connected with running back Anthony

Pendland for a 65-yard TD pass with 2:11 left

to give LU a 10-6 win. The Cardiac Cardinals

did it again the next week as Donald Hill’s 29-

yard interception return set up Jabo Leonard’s

24-yard field goal with a mere four seconds re-

maining to give Lamar a 10-7 victory over

Southern Mississippi.

Leonard and the defense combined to give

the Cards a 9-7 road victory over West Texas

State the next week. Leonard booted three field

goals, including ones of 24 and 45 yards in the

fourth quarter with the winning one coming

with 48 seconds left.

After the loss to Louisiana Tech, the Cards

closed their season with wins of 17-3 over Mc-

Neese State and 8-0 over Texas-Arlington. The

Cardinals’ points in the UTA game came on

two field goals and a safety.

The Cardinals’ defense, which ranked 12th

in the nation in Division I that season, held

seven of their 10 opponents to seven or fewer

points. Colbert, Hill, linebacker Ronald Black,

tackle Donnie Davis and end Leon Babineaux

were all honored on the 1974 All-SLC team,

along with offensive guard Keith Elliott.

From the astonishing high of the 1974 sea-

son, the Cardinals dropped to a disappointing

low of a 1-10 campaign in 1975. Injuries to key

personnel played a major role in the downward

spiral, but it still cost Glass as he was replaced

at the end of the season by Bob Frederick, a

former LU standout in football, basketball and

baseball who had been the Cardinals’ defensive

coordinator for

the previous 11

seasons.

Playing

their season

opener against

the University

of Houston in

the Astrodome,

the Cardinals

held their

g r o u n d

through the

first half but

wound up

yielding a 20-3

decision to the

Cougars. The

Cards also hung

tough in four-

point and three-

point losses to

West Texas State and New Mexico State, re-

spectively, in their next two games, but the sea-

son-opening losing streak went on to grow to

nine games.

Their most humiliating loss was 43-3 to

Southern Mississippi in the New Orleans Su-

perdome. It marked the fifth time in eight

games for the Cards to score seven or fewer

points.

A 30-10 victory over Southern Illinois in

their 10th game enabled the luckless Cards to

avert a winless season. They managed an aver-

age of a meager 10.8 points per game and

yielded an average of 23.0 and had no players

voted to the All-SLC Team.

Frederick’s first year at the

helm in 1976 didn’t see the Car-

dinals make much improve-

ment as they scored a total of

97 points in struggling to a 2-9

season. Their wins were 17-6

over Northwestern State in

their opener and 21-17 over

New Mexico State in Week 3.

They closed the season with an

eight-game losing streak during

which they were shut out twice

and scored a total of 43 points.

Senior defensive tackle Don-

ald Davis was the only Cardinal

to make the 1976 All-SLC

Team.

Despite improving on both

sides of the ball, the 1977 Cardi-

nals failed to improve in the won-loss column

as they again went 2-9. After opening with a

21-7 win over Northeast Louisiana, they lost

eight-straight games before stunning highly-fa-

vored McNeese State 35-7 in Lake Charles.

Burly noseguard Matt Burnett, who later

had a successful run as Port Neches-Groves’

head coach, led the team in tackles that season

and was a first-team All-SLC selection.

The 1978 Cardinals endured a 2-8-1 season

that saw the end of the Bob Frederick Era as

head coach after three years that produced a

combined record of 6-26-1. The wins were 23-

16 over Stephen F. Austin and 36-31 over Long

Beach State, and the tie was 17-17 against

Northeast Louisiana.

Offensive guard Victor Enard of West Or-

ange was Lamar’s lone representative on the

1978 All-SLC Team. Offensively, the pass-and-

catch duo of Larry Haynes and Howard (Boo)

Robinson showed signs of what was to come

as Haynes completed 92 of 184 passes for

1,261 yards and eight TDs while Robinson

snared 27 passes for 451 yards and four TDs.

The hiring of 35-year-old offensive guru

Larry Kennan to succeed Frederick as head

coach brought optimism for a Cardinal pro-

gram starving for success after four successive

losing seasons.

Kennan’s resume included impressive stints

as offensive coordinator at SMU and Nevada-

Las Vegas, and he swiftly lived up to his hiring-

day boast that the 1979 Cardinals would play

an exciting brand of football. Operating from

the Pro-I offense, the Cards razzled-dazzled

their way to an incredible 38 team or individual

records en route to a 6-3-2 campaign in 1979.

The Cardinals fell 20-7 to Baylor in Ken-

nan’s head-coaching debut, but he responded

Doug Matthews was an

running back in 1972, and

three times.

by calling the shots in a 58-27 dismantling of

Western Kentucky in their next game, causing

Cardinal Stadium to swell with a standing-

room-only crowd of 17,600 for their home

debut against Louisiana Tech the next week.

Kennan’s troops did not disappoint the en-

thusiastic crowd as they responded with a 19-

7 victory, Lamar’s first since 1970 over Tech’s

Bulldogs.

Linebacker Kurt Phoenix sparked the fire-

works against Western Kentucky by returning

the opening kickoff a school-record 98 yards

for a touchdown, and by the time that sunny

Kentucky afternoon ended, Haynes and fellow

LU quarterback Mike Long had combined for

323 passing yards, six shy of the then school

record.

Other highlights of that day included split

end Jesse Cavil streaking 72 yards down the

sideline for a TD after catching a Haynes pass,

Robinson popping open in the end zone twice

for TD receptions, defensive end Terry Lee

Williams returning an interception 26 yards for

a TD and the defense coming up with six total

turnovers.

With Haynes at the offensive controls, the

1979 Cardinals averaged 248.5 passing yards

and 24.7 points per game, and they notched

three wins against SLC competition – two

more than the previous four LU teams had

managed.

Haynes had a 276-yard passing performance

against Western Kentucky, a 258-yarder against

West Texas State, a 262-yarder against Mc-

Neese State and a 286-yarder vs. Northwestern

State, but they were just routine outings com-

pared to his record-smashing 403-yard output

against UT Arlington. For the season, he had

233 completions on 402 attempts for 2,641

yards and 21 TDs.

The 143-pound Robinson was Haynes’ fa-

vorite target as he logged three 100-yard-plus

receiving games and finished the season with

record totals of 59 catches, 840 receiving yards

and 12 TDs.

Despite his brilliance as a passer, Haynes

was relegated to a second-team berth on the

All-SLC Team, but Robinson, Enard, Phoenix

and tight end Alfred Mask were all first-team-

ers. Joining Haynes on the second team were

offensive tackle Kenny Birkes and corner-

back/kick returner Johnny Ray Smith.

The 1980s

Depleted by the departures of Haynes,

Robinson, Phoenix, Enard and several other

key contributors, the 1980 Cardinals lacked ex-

perience and depth and, consequently, dipped

to a 3-8 record. They opened with a 41-8 vic-

tory at Texas Southern, but eventual Southwest

Conference champion Baylor pounded them

42-7 before a standing-room-only crowd of

18,500 in their home opener, and Drake was a

38-7 winner in Game 3.

The Cardinals righted their ship with a 45-

21 victory over Stephen F. Austin, but four-

straight losses followed before they edged

Arkansas State 23-22 for their final victory.

One of the positives to the season was that

freshman quarterback Ray Campbell from Liv-

ingston steadily progressed into a competent

passer, completing 157 of 296 attempts for

1,491 yards and seven TDs.

Flanker Sam Choice, who led the team with

34 catches for 579 yards and four TDs, was a

first-team All-SLC selection along with Smith,

the team leader in kickoff returns and punt re-

turns.

The first two games of 1981 produced the

biggest highlights of the season. First, Mike

Marlow calmly kicked a 42-yard field goal with

three seconds left to give the Cardinals an 18-

17 road upset of defending SWC champion

Baylor, then the Cards traveled to the Houston

Astrodome and destroyed Sam Houston State

50-7 as Cavil caught three TD passes and Her-

bert Harris two.

The Cardinals’ other wins in their 4-6-1 sea-

son were decisions of 17-13 over Northeast

Louisiana and 14-12 over Southwestern

Louisiana, and the tie was 20-20 vs. McNeese

State.

Junior college transfer Fred Hessen beat out

Campbell for the starting quarterback job that

season, and he threw five TD passes in the

Sam Houston State game. He finished the sea-

son with 182 completions on 365 attempts for

2,108 yards and 14 TDs.

Harris, who had 13 catches for 192 yards in

a 16-7 loss to Louisiana Tech, set school

records with 61 catches for 911 yards and

seven TDs, while Ben Booker led the team

with 569 rushing yards. Linebacker Charles

Broussard led the team in tackles with 96, and

strong safety David Jones and linebacker Larry

McCoy had 88 each.

Late in the spring of 1982, Kennan de-

parted Lamar to take an assistant’s job with the

Oakland Raiders, and Ken Stephens, who had

coached Central Arkansas to a 10-season

record of 67-35-6, was hired on June 2 to suc-

ceed him.

Stephens found coaching at the NCAA Di-

vision I-AA level to be a bit more difficult than

it had been at the NAIA level. His best season

was his first when the Cardinals went 4-7 in

1982, and he departed after producing an 11-

33 record over four years.

The 1982 Cardinals struggled offensively as

they suffered three shutouts and also scored

only three points in a 45-point loss to the Uni-

versity of Houston. Their wins were 24-14

over Stephen F. Austin, 27-7 over Sam Hous-

ton State, 28-17 over Texas Southern and 12-3

over McNeese State.

Stephens did, however, coach two, first-

team Division 1-AA All-Americas – both as

sophomores in linebacker Eugene Seale in

1983 and running back Burton Murchison in

1985.

A product of Jasper High School, Seale in-

tercepted a pass on his first collegiate play and

returned it 52 yards for a TD against Nicholls.

He went on to win the SLC Defensive Player

of the Week Award an unprecedented five

times, to amass a school-record 170 tackles (85

solos and 85 assists) and was voted the SLC

Defensive Player of the Year in addition to

earning the All-America award.

A 5-foot-11, 205-pounder from Woodville,

Murchison made his first big splash in the sec-

ond game of his sophomore season when he

rushed for 222 yards and two TDs in a 30-7

victory over Prairie View A&M. He surpassed

the 200-yard barrier in two other games, in-

cluding a school-record 259 in a 29-28 road

loss to Rice University.

With his Division I-AA-leading 1,547 rush-

ing yards in 1985, Murchison shattered both

the Lamar and SLC single-season records. In

addition to his All-America award, he was the

SLC Offensive Player of the Year.

The 1986 season ushered in the Ray Alborn

Era as head coach. He went 2-9 in his first sea-

son, 3-8 in each of the next two and 5-5 in

1989, Lamar’s last before the program was dis-

continued due

to mounting

deficits in its

operation.

A l b o r n ’ s

1986 Cardinals

lost their first

five games be-

fore managing

a 17-3 victory

over South-

west Texas

State. Their

other win was

47-23 over

Central State

of Oklahoma

before a crowd

of 961 in Cardi-

nal Stadium.

Burton Murchison led Divi-

sion I-AA with 1,547 rush-

ing yards in 1985.



Murchison rushed for a team-best 830 yards

in 1986, and sophomore Shad Smith and fresh-

man John Evans shared the quarterbacking du-

ties. They combined to pass for 1,772 yards

and 10 touchdowns, and Derek Anderson led

the receiving corps with 34 catches for 575

yards and three TDs.

Lamar withdrew from the Southland Con-

ference after the 1986-1987 athletic year, opt-

ing to join the newly-created American South

Conference, which did not sponsor football.

That left the football program with the burden

of having to play as a Division I-AA independ-

ent – a move that made scheduling extremely

difficult, especially for home games.

The Cardinals could attract only four home

opponents in 1988, and three of those were

West Texas State, Alcorn State and Mississippi

College, schools that lacked drawing appeal in

Southeast Texas. The 1989 schedule included

road games against Angelo State and Alcorn

State.

Murchison ran for three touchdowns in the

Cardinals’ first victory of the 1987 season – a

come-from-behind 39-35 decision at Northern

Illinois. Smith threw three TD passes with An-

derson catching two of them as the Cards

edged Stephen F. Austin 28-26 for their second

win.

The final victory was a 48-28 decision over

Louisiana-Monroe in which Smith threw four

TD passes and Murchison had a 44-yard scor-

ing run and a 24-yard TD reception. Smith

passed for 1,806 yards and 11 TDs that season,

while Evans’ respective totals were 965 and

nine.

For the fourth-straight season, Murchison

led the Cardinals in rushing with 813 yards on

130 carries, and he departed as Lamar’s all-time

rushing champion with a career total of 3,598

yards.

Ironically, the 1989 Cardinals were Lamar’s

only team of the 1980s decade not

to post a losing record, yet the

coaches and players had to endure

the pain and disappointment of

seeing the program disbanded.

A couple of weeks before

the football program was discon-

tinued by a 5-4 vote of Lamar’s

board of regents, the Cardinals

closed their season with a come-

from-behind 22-17 victory over

McNeese State before a crowd of

3,263 in Cardinal Stadium. The

Cardinals rallied for 16 fourth-

quarter points to seal their break-

even 5-5 season, during which an

amazing 24 individual or team

records were either set or tied.

The winning rally was sparked by a 15-yard

touchdown pass from John Evans to Chris

Ford and a 31-yard field goal by Frank Van

Renselaer, then capped by a 2-yard scoring run

by fullback Kenny Franklin with a mere nine

seconds remaining.

Evans completed 30 of 50 pass attempts

that night, and his 396 yards of total offense

(353 passing and 43 rushing) were the then

third-most in school history behind only his

421 yards vs. Texas-El Paso and 405 vs. Angelo

State earlier that season.

The 2010s

It was stunning but seemed only appropri-

ate, however, that quarterback Andre Bevil

broke Evans’ record with 426 total yards of of-

fense in Lamar’s return to football in a thrilling

30-27 2010 season-opening loss at none-other

than McNeese State. The Cardinals finished 5-

6 in their return to the gridiron in 2010 under

new head coach Ray Woodard.

Seven individual and eight team records fell

during the year with Bevil setting two records

and tying another. In addition to the single-

game total offense mark, Bevil set school

records for passing yards (429 yards) and most

completions in a game (34).

The Cardinals would get into the win col-

umn in their home opener with a 21-14 victory

over Webber International in front of a sold

out stadium of 16,600. Wide receiver J.J. Hayes

scored the first points in the newly named

Provost Umphrey stadium as he hauled in a

Bevil pass for a 25-yard touchdown.

Lamar would run its winning streak to two

games with a thrilling comeback win at South-

eastern Louisiana by a 29-28 score. The Cardi-

nals trailed 28-8 early in the second half before

scoring 20 straight points to stun the crowd at

Strawberry Stadium. Hayes scored from 19

yards out on a Bevil completion with 1:52 to

play to complete the comeback.

Following a 38-10 loss to Sam Houston

State, Lamar earned a 14-0 homecoming day

win over Langston. The game against

Langston drew 17,306 fans for the third best

crowd in the history of the stadium as Lamar

averaged 16,079 fans per game for the highest

attendance of any Southland Conference

school.

The Cards would drop three straight games,

falling 26-0 to South Alabama, 31-6 at North

Dakota and 23-17 at Georgia State. However,

Lamar rebounded to earn home wins over

South Dakota (24-20) and Oklahoma Panhan-

dle State (44-6) to close the year.

After returning to the field in 2010, the Car-

dinals were official football playing members

of the Southland Conference in 2011. Lamar

managed a 4-7 record on the year, including a

2-5 mark in Southland Conference competi-

tion.

The records continued in the 2011 season

as the Cardinals set or tied 13 school marks, in-

cluding largest margin of victory with a sea-

son-opening 58-0 win over Texas College. In

that same game, junior transfer running back

DePauldrick Garrett established school records

for touchdowns in a game (4) and points

scored in a game (24).

After a 30-8 setback at South Alabama, the

Cards posted back-to-back wins with a 45-35

home win over Incarnate Word and a 48-38

win at Southeastern Louisiana.

Lamar would suffer a five-game losing

streak following the wins before picking up a

34-26 Southland Conference win over

Nicholls. LU closed the year with a 45-17 loss

to rival McNeese State.

Senior wide receiver J.J. Hayes, who earned

second-team all-conference recognition, set

three school records. Hayes had a single-game

record 212 receiving yards against Northwest-

ern State, single-game receptions (14) against

McNeese State and 951 receiving yards on the

year to establish a single-season standard.

Kicker Justin Stout added to the individual

records as he matched a school mark with eight

extra point kicks in the Texas College win and

a new single-season record for extra points

converted with 35.

Eugene Seale was a Division I-AA All-America linebacker

and the Southland Conference Defensive Player of the

Year in 1984.
