THIS IS UNION!<br />

e <strong>Union</strong> Bulldogs e<br />

2<br />

In 1879 a group of progressive<br />

citizens followed the prompting<br />

of Abraham H. Harritt, a salesman<br />

of school desks, and James T.<br />

Gibson, the owner of a generalmerchandise<br />

store, to establish<br />

a college in the Barbourville<br />

community. W.W. Sawyers and<br />

James D. Black met in the offi ce<br />

of Judge J.H. Tinsley and formed<br />

a stock company to launch <strong>Union</strong><br />

<strong>College</strong>.<br />

Black, who later served as<br />

president of <strong>Union</strong> from 1910-12<br />

and later served as governor<br />

of Kentucky, is given credit for<br />

having named the school “<strong>Union</strong>.”<br />

CENTENNIAL HALL<br />

The institution it would serve<br />

as a unifying infl uence for the<br />

community regardless of church affi liation or political differences. The Articles of Incorporation<br />

were drawn up on Oct. 18, 1879, and provided for the issuance of $20,000 worth of capital<br />

stock. The London Echo of Dec. 12, 1879, carrying its fi rst announcement of <strong>Union</strong>, listed the<br />

corporation as being “designed to fi ll a long-felt want in eastern Kentucky, eastern Tennessee and<br />

western Virginia.”<br />

<strong>Union</strong> was operated under local leadership for the fi rst few years, but began to experience<br />

severe fi nancial struggles. On Oct. 25, 1886, the property was “cried off” to Green Elliott, who<br />

purchased it for Dr. Daniel Stevenson for the sum of $4,425 with Mrs. Mahala Dowis furnishing the<br />

funds. The renowned Kentucky educator had been authorized to attend the sale by the Board of<br />

Education of the Kentucky Annual Conference of The United Methodist Church.<br />

<strong>Union</strong>’s athletic mascot, the English Bulldog, was introduced during the fall of 1925. The breed,<br />

whose ancestors were developed in Britain before the 13th century from the British mastiff and<br />

other breeds, was used for bullbaiting and dogfi ghting until these sports were outlawed in the<br />

19th century.<br />

In 1967, the Alpha Phi Omega service fraternity of <strong>Union</strong> <strong>College</strong> purchased the fi rst living<br />

mascot named Mack. He was presented at the Homecoming basketball game that same year. A<br />

registered English Bulldog, Mack died in 1971. His remains are buried in an area adjacent to <strong>Union</strong>’s<br />

current baseball complex.<br />

During the past seven years, <strong>Union</strong> <strong>College</strong> began a major campus renovation and building<br />

project. Plans included the creation of new student housing, expanded academic and athletic<br />

centers, and the upgrade of existing facilities. Projects completed were the construction of the<br />

Stewart-Lyttle Apartments, Sharp Academic Center, Black Technology Center and the renovation<br />

of Speed Hall. <strong>Union</strong>’s athletic facilities have also received facelifts as well. A new brick backstop<br />

erected in 2001 at Sanders Field at Jerry W. Carey Baseball Stadium, while a new wooden outfi eld<br />

fence was built in 2002. Robsion Arena recently had the fl oor repainted, new scoreboards<br />

installed and a new lights, roof and gutters installed. Two new tennis courts were constructed,<br />

while the existing four were resurfaced, and a new press box was constructed at Burch/Nau Field<br />

(<strong>football</strong>) in 2003.<br />

<strong>Union</strong> offers 26 majors in the undergraduate curriculum, which lead to a bachelor’s degree.<br />

Minors are also available in many of these programs. In addition, the college offers pre-professional<br />

programs that are affi liated with other institutions and agencies.<br />

<strong>Union</strong> <strong>College</strong> also boasts a graduate program The college offers graduate work in education<br />

leading to a Master’s degree, Fifth-Year Certifi cate and Rank I Certifi cate.<br />

How many independent, liberal arts colleges in the Commonwealth of Kentucky can boast of<br />

a Nobel Prize-winning graduate? <strong>Union</strong> <strong>College</strong> can certainly lay claim to that. Dr. Phillip A. Sharp,<br />

the co-winner of the 1993 Nobel Prize for medicine, received his bachelor’s degree from <strong>Union</strong><br />

in 1966.<br />

Campus life starts from the moment the students arrive on campus and continues through the<br />

end of the school year. Students can participate in more than 30 campus organizations such as<br />

music, theatre productions, sports, student government, religious activities and clubs.<br />

BURCH / NAU FIELD AT UNION STADIUM<br />

Burch/Nau Field at <strong>Union</strong> Stadium has been the home of <strong>Union</strong> <strong>College</strong><br />

<strong>football</strong> since the program was reinstated as a school-sponsored sport in<br />

1984.<br />

The facility has remained relatively the same over the years, but that<br />

all changed during the summer of <strong>2007</strong> when synthetic sports grass was<br />

installed.<br />

Plagued by rainy <strong>football</strong> seasons the past few years, Burch/Nau Field’s<br />

natural grasss surface had continually taken a beaten, and the cost of repairing<br />

the turf yearly began to mount. But with the <strong>Union</strong> <strong>College</strong> Board<br />

of Trustees’ approval, <strong>Union</strong> took on the nearly $1 million project.<br />

Installed by Vescio’s Sportsfi elds, the new turf will not only host all of<br />

the Bulldog home <strong>football</strong> games but also a number of Bulldog and Lady<br />

Bulldog home soccer matches. The “UC” logo with the bulldog head will<br />

be painted at the center of the fi eld. The end zones will be orange with<br />

<strong>Union</strong> painted white and outlined in black. The <strong>football</strong> yard lines will be<br />

inlaid white, while the markings for soccer will be highligted in black.<br />

The fi eld is named in honor of two of <strong>Union</strong>’s alums and <strong>football</strong> heroes - Mr. Ossie Burch and Mr. Bill Nau. Although the two never played on the<br />

gridiron together, Burch and Nau teamed up with many others to help revive the Bulldog <strong>football</strong> program in the early 1980s. Not only were they<br />

instrumental in breathing life into the once dormant <strong>Union</strong> <strong>College</strong> <strong>football</strong> program, but Burch and Nau were gridiron greats in their own right.<br />

Burch, a 1937 graduate, played on the 1932-35 Bulldog teams, guiding <strong>Union</strong> to a 14-4-7 record during that time. In 1934, Burch helped <strong>Union</strong> to a<br />

5-0-2 mark, giving <strong>Union</strong> its only undefeated season. <strong>Union</strong> outscored its opponents 79-21 that year with the fi nal four games resulting in shutouts of<br />

the Bulldog defense.<br />

Nau was a 1941 graduate and was a four-year member of the Bulldog <strong>football</strong> team. From 1937-40, Nau helped <strong>Union</strong> to a 15-11-2 record. His<br />

greatest season of success came during senior year as the Bulldogs went 5-1-1 in 1940.<br />

Both Burch and Nau were inducted into the <strong>Union</strong> <strong>College</strong> Athletic Hall of Fame in 1990.<br />

The <strong>football</strong> program was suspended following the 1941 season as the United States entered into World War II, and it wasn’t until the early<br />

1980s that the sport was revived. Support began to grow for revitalizing the <strong>football</strong> program, and in 1984, the Bulldogs took the fi eld for the fi rst<br />

time in 43 years.<br />

The fi eld was named in Mr. Burch and Mr. Nau’s honor during the 1991 Homecoming ceremonies.<br />

Burch/Nau Field at <strong>Union</strong> Stadium is nestled in the heart of the <strong>Union</strong> <strong>College</strong> campus and is<br />

surrounded by the beautiful mountains of southeastern Kentucky. In the south end zone sits the<br />

Bulldogs large scoreboard. The grandstand areas on the home and visiting sides can hold 2,500<br />

fans; however, with all the open spaces around the fi eld, it would be possible for nearly 5,000<br />

people to be in attendance to cheer on the Bulldogs.<br />

Atop the home-side grandstand rests a recently constructed press box, completed prior to<br />

the 2003 season. The press box is two-story, housing the coaching boxes and videotaping room<br />

upstairs and the press and game-day staff on the lower level.<br />

THE UNION COLLEGE WEIGHT ROOM FACILITY<br />

<strong>Union</strong> <strong>College</strong> boasts of having a state-of-the-art weight room that helps<br />

insure all of the school’s student-athletes remain on top of their game in season<br />

and out of season.<br />

Located in its own building beside Robsion Arena, the weight room facility<br />

has been totally remodeled during the summer of 2003, and new equipment<br />

was purchased. The entire interior was repainted, new fl oor mats were<br />

installed and the offi ce area was renovated.<br />

The equipment housed here includes: seven half-rack multi-purpose stations,<br />

three lat pull-down machines, two leg curl/extension machines, a preacher<br />

curl station, a glute-hamstring machine, an exercise bicycle and a stairmaster<br />

cardiovascular machine. Also, the facility is fully equipped with dumbbells<br />

ranging from fi ve pounds to 100 pounds.<br />

The facility has two offi ces, which are used by the <strong>football</strong> staff.<br />

<strong>2007</strong> BULLDOG PREVIEW<br />

e <strong>Union</strong> Bulldogs e<br />

4<br />

After a season of “what ifs,” the<br />

<strong>Union</strong> <strong>College</strong> <strong>football</strong> team is ready to<br />

leave last season in the past and enter<br />

the <strong>2007</strong> campaign with something to<br />

prove.<br />

Going 3-7 overall and 1-4 in Mid-<br />

South Conference East play, 2006 was<br />

a season of heartache and heartbreak<br />

for the Bulldogs. Hampered by injuries<br />

and costly turnovers, <strong>Union</strong> saw many a<br />

win slip through its grasp as it lost four<br />

games by six points or less.<br />

“Last year, with all the turnovers and<br />

injuries, we struggled,” said <strong>Union</strong> head<br />

coach Tommy Reid.<br />

Yet, out of that heartache, <strong>Union</strong><br />

returns a vast number of starters, whom<br />

when healthy, can compete with the<br />

best of the Mid-South Conference has<br />

to offer.<br />

“I feel read good about the upcoming<br />

season, especially about the returning<br />

players we’ve got coming back,” Reid<br />

said. “I’m especially excited about<br />

the offense due to the maturity and<br />

experience we return on that side of<br />

the ball. We don’t have as many question<br />

marks as we’ve had here in the past.”<br />

The Bulldogs return 10 starters on<br />

offense while returning eight on defense.<br />

Even though <strong>Union</strong> returns a high number<br />

of starters, Reid admitted that the<br />

<strong>2007</strong> Bulldogs could be overlooked by<br />

opponents.<br />

“We’re almost always going to be<br />

overlooked,” the Bulldog coach said.<br />

“The perception of <strong>Union</strong> is that we’re<br />

a team that’ll hang around but isn’t really<br />

a threat.<br />

“However,” Reid added, “this year, we<br />

want to prove people wrong.”<br />

Terence Pollock could collect his 1,000th<br />

career rushing yard during his sophomore<br />

season.<br />

But the road won’t<br />

be an easy one for<br />

<strong>Union</strong> with an always<br />

stout MSC East slate<br />

as well as four games<br />

against MSC West<br />

squads.<br />

“It’ll be another<br />

tough year (in the<br />

conference),” Reid<br />

said,” and I believe<br />

that’s what makes our<br />

conference so great.<br />

Because year-in and<br />

year-out, from one<br />

week to the next, you<br />

know you’re lining up<br />

against another good<br />

team.”<br />

<strong>Union</strong> had a solid<br />

year offensively in<br />

2006 but struggled<br />

put points on the<br />

board as well as<br />

hanging on to the<br />

ball. The Bulldogs amassed 2,689 yards<br />

in total offense with a balanced attack<br />

as 1,503 yards came through the air and<br />

1,186 on the ground. However, <strong>Union</strong><br />

scored just 164 points for a 16.4 pointsper-game<br />

average.<br />

Additionally, <strong>Union</strong> turned the ball<br />

over a total of 23 times, while its<br />

opponents coughed it up just 15 times<br />

and averaged 23.2 points per contest.<br />

Yet, there is still a hint of optimism<br />

heading into the <strong>2007</strong> campaign.<br />

The Bulldog offense returns a high<br />

number of players who spent some time<br />

in the starting lineup. <strong>Union</strong> lost just three<br />

players who started numerous games,<br />

yet 10 that started a minimum of two<br />

games are back.<br />

The two positions affected by the<br />

losses are at wide receiver and on the<br />

offensive line. Despite the loss of one<br />

wideout, the Bulldogs return fi ve of<br />

its top six receiving leaders from last<br />

season, including the top three. On the<br />

line, <strong>Union</strong> lost two starting offensive<br />

linemen, yet Reid is confi dent that<br />

there are seven to eight returnees<br />

who will battle for playing time, not<br />

to mention a couple of newcomers<br />

that could add to the mix.<br />

Over the years, <strong>Union</strong> has had a<br />

number of quality players at the skills<br />

positions. But what has been generally<br />

lacking has been the offensive line.<br />

“We’ve had some good running<br />

Senior quarterback Joey Waters will be gunning for the record books during the <strong>2007</strong> season.<br />

Already the holder of the career touchdown passing record, Waters is on pace to own every major<br />

career passing record.<br />

backs over the years,” Reid said. “But<br />

in years past, it’s not been our running<br />

backs, but the lack of production out<br />

of the offensive line.<br />

“We’ve always had good skill guys;<br />

we’ve just struggled upfront,” he added.<br />

“Now, we’ve got seven, eight guys<br />

upfront that can play whereas we’ve<br />

had just one or two.”<br />

Leading the way on the offensive<br />

line will be a trio of seniors, including<br />

All-Mid-South Conference East Second<br />

Team member Patrick Kallendorf.<br />

Joining him are fellow seniors Nick<br />

Ruggieri and Chris Murphy.<br />

Sophomores Brock Evans and J.D.<br />

Conley are also back. Though just secondyear<br />

players, both saw considerable<br />

amount of time on the fi eld as freshmen.<br />

And if he can stay healthy, look for 6-4,<br />

297-pound Brandon Lack to give the<br />

offensive line a boost. Additionally, the<br />

line could get a shot in the arm from<br />

transfer Quintin Borders.<br />

The 2006 season was supposed to<br />

be senior quarterback Joey Waters’<br />

coronation as he was to put an all-out<br />

assault on the record book. However,<br />

Waters lasted just two games as he<br />

suffered a season-ending knee injury.<br />

Fortunately, because played in just two<br />

games, he was able to use a medical redshirt<br />

and have a second go-around at his<br />

senior season.<br />

“As a junior (in 2005), he had a great<br />

year,” said Reid. “At this point in his<br />

career, he’s got a great understanding<br />

of what to do and how to manage our<br />

offense.”<br />

Last season, Waters completed 27-<br />

of-50 passes for 382 yards and three<br />

touchdowns in two games. He became<br />

just the third player in program history<br />

to pass for over 2,000 yards in a season<br />

when he threw for 2,059 yards on<br />

184-of-297 passing in 2005. He also<br />

set the single-season record for most<br />

touchdown passes in 2005 with 21 and<br />

is the career leader with 39.<br />

And with 4,664 career passing yards,<br />

Waters is just under 1,900 yards away<br />

from passing Lee Worley for the career<br />

passing yardage record.<br />

Kyle Callahan filled in admirably<br />

last season at quarterback, throwing<br />

for 1,039 yards and six touchdowns.<br />

But with Waters back under center, the<br />

versatile Callahan will look to haul in<br />

passes instead of lobbing them. In the<br />

two games he wasn’t at quarterback,<br />

Callahan caught 10 passes for 163 yards<br />

and two touchdowns, ranking him sixth<br />

on the team in receptions and second in<br />

touchdown catches.<br />

Joining Callahan at wide receiver are<br />

Ryan Chambers, Chris Collopy and<br />

Shawn Kelly, who all tied for the team<br />

lead in receptions with 17. Chambers had<br />

296 receiving yards and one score, while<br />

Collopy had 289 receiving yards and a<br />

team-best four touchdowns receptions.<br />

Kelly’s 17 catches, meanwhile, covered<br />

185 yards. Also back is Stephen Hunter,<br />

who had 11 receptions for 214 yards<br />

and a touchdown during his freshman<br />

campaign.<br />

<strong>Union</strong> could also get a boost from<br />

red-shirt freshman P.J. Burrowes, a 6-2,<br />

170-pounder from Middlesboro, Ky.<br />

In the backfi eld, the Bulldogs return a<br />

solid corps of running backs, including the<br />

team’s top rusher in Terence Pollock.<br />

Pollock put together one of the best<br />

freshman seasons ever as he rushed for<br />

655 yards and eight touchdowns on 155<br />

carries for a 4.2 yards-per-carry average.<br />

His 655 yards last season ranks 11 th -best<br />

in program history, just missing cracking<br />

the Top 10 by one yard.<br />

Ben Kelly is also back after averaging<br />

3.4 yards per carry in 2006. <strong>Union</strong> will<br />

also get some help in the backfi eld from<br />

Lee Miles and Antonio Drane, both<br />

of whom red-shirted last season. Senior<br />

David Hammer could also see time at<br />

fullback as well as at tight end.<br />

On the other side of the ball, the<br />

Bulldog defense was solid in 2006 as<br />

it ranked in the top 40 in the nation in<br />

several categories, including 21 st in sacks<br />

by with an average of 2.3 per game. In<br />

addition, <strong>Union</strong> allowed just 232 points,<br />

the 10 th fewest in program history since<br />

the program was revived in 1984.<br />

However, while it returns eight<br />

defensive starters, the Bulldog defense<br />

lost three big cogs from last year’s<br />

squad. Gone are Brandon Webb, who<br />

Senior linebacker Patrick O’Neal recorded 102 total tackles in 2006, earning him All-Mid-South Conference East First<br />

Team honors. He was the fi rst Bulldogs to amass 100-plus tackles since Herman Lovett accomplished the feat in 2002.<br />

2.4 per game to go along with his 9.0<br />

sacks, Junior Owen, who had 55 tackles<br />

and 3.0 sacks to his credit, and Caleb<br />

Jones, who helped out with 35 tackles<br />

and 5.0 sacks. Between the three, they<br />

accounted for 42.5 tackles for a loss.<br />

“Last year, we were more experienced<br />

on defense,” Reid said. “This year, we’re<br />

not. Each year you take a hit somewhere,<br />

and this year, it’s on defense for us.<br />

“We’re going to be young (on<br />

defense),” the <strong>Union</strong> coach added, “but<br />

we’re going to be deep.”<br />

Leading the way will be senior<br />

Patrick O’Neal, who has done nothing<br />

but lead the team in tackles the past<br />

three seasons. In 2006, the middle<br />

linebacker became the fi rst Bulldog to<br />

record 100-plus tackles in a season since<br />

Herman Lovett accomplished the feat<br />

in 2002. He had 102 total tackles with<br />

2.0 sacks in earning All-MSC East First<br />

Team honors.<br />

Junior Kyle Sasser could land a starting<br />

linebacking spot after posting 40 tackles,<br />

4.0 of which went for a loss, last season.<br />

Others who could see playing time at<br />

linebacker include Depaul Payton, Josh<br />

Presley and Daniel Moody.<br />

The defensive line is full of question<br />

marks as well, but there are a handful<br />

of experienced players back. Fifthyear<br />

senior Colby Wilson recorded<br />

16 tackles with two going for a loss in<br />

limited action last year. Arthur Johnson<br />

will anchor the nose guard slot, while<br />

Patrick Burke, Timmy Goodin and Ryan<br />

Baker will vie for the other defensive<br />

end position.<br />

The secondary will be young in age<br />

but very experienced. Sophomore Ty<br />

Harris had an extraordinary freshman<br />

campaign in which he had 38 tackles and<br />

four interceptions – three coming in one<br />

game to tie the school record, landing<br />

him All-MSC East First Team honors.<br />

Harris will anchor one corner, while<br />

Jeremy Agbomi, Antonio Dishman<br />

and Garry Barnett battle it out for the<br />

other starting spot.<br />

Sophomore Josh Littleton is penciled<br />

in as the team’s free safety. In 2006, he<br />

came on strong as the season progressed,<br />

recording 29 tackles, 3.0 tackles for a<br />

loss, 1.0 sacks and fi ve pass breakups.<br />

Marekus Smith, who had 57 tackles, 3.5<br />

tackles for a loss and four pass breakups<br />

as a sophomore, will help out again as a<br />

safety. In addition, junior Derrick Hurst<br />

will help out at one of the two safety<br />

positions.<br />

Special teams is up for grabs as well.<br />

Reid will be looking to a newcomes to<br />

take care of the kicking duties. James<br />

Hager is a freshman out of Micanopy,<br />

Fla., and will be asked to handle all the<br />

kicking duties for the Bulldogs.<br />

In years past, <strong>Union</strong> had held its own<br />

in the return game, generally ranking<br />

among the nation’s best. But in 2006,<br />

the Bulldogs averaged just 15.2 yards<br />

per kick return and 7.4 yards per punt<br />

return. Wide receivers Hunter, Burrowes<br />

and Callahan could see time as return<br />

specialists this season.<br />

With a young, but experienced<br />

corps of players coming back, the <strong>2007</strong><br />

Bulldogs eager to prove they belong<br />

among the conference’s elite. And <strong>Union</strong><br />

will get its fi rst shot on Sept. 1 when it<br />

takes on University of the Cumberlands<br />

(Ky.) at 7 p.m. in Corbin, Ky. The Bulldogs’<br />

home opener is set for Sept. 8 against<br />

Lambuth (Tenn.) University. Both of<br />

<strong>Union</strong>’s contests versus non-MSC teams<br />

are road game at Malone (Ohio) <strong>College</strong><br />

and at Frostburg State (Md.) University.<br />

ATHLETICS AT UNION<br />

The depth of <strong>Union</strong> <strong>College</strong> <strong>Athletics</strong> drawn out over a century and covers a wide variety<br />

of sporting events, some traditional, some not. The rich history of <strong>Union</strong> athletics began with<br />

the women’s basketball team of 1905, which was followed by <strong>football</strong> the same year.<br />

Men’s basketball, tennis and baseball were added in 1906. The addition of a variety of<br />

sports has continued to enrich the long history of <strong>Union</strong> <strong>College</strong> athletics. The progressive<br />

athletic department that began with a women’s team continues to shift and expand to<br />

accommodate a wide variety of athletes.<br />

In 2006, <strong>Union</strong> sponsors a total of 21 athletic programs, including baseball, men’s and<br />

women’s basketball, men’s and women’s cross country, cycling, men’s and women’s golf,<br />

<strong>football</strong>, men’s and women’s soccer, softball, men’s and women’s swimming, men’s and<br />

women’s tennis, men’s and women’s track and fi eld (indoor and outdoor), and volleyball.<br />

<strong>Union</strong> has garnered much success on the fi eld, court, track, trail and in the water, especially in<br />

recent years. Since 1990, <strong>Union</strong> has captured 41 conference championships and has had a team<br />

advance to a national tournament 19 times, garnering its fi rst team national title in 2002 when<br />

the mountain biking team won the NCCA Division II National Championship. In the recent<br />

years, <strong>Union</strong> has had nine persons named to the NAIA All-American First and Second Teams.<br />

Some of the highlights during <strong>Union</strong>’s fi rst 100 years of intercollegiate athletics are:<br />

• 1955, Ernie Trosper was named a NAIA All-American in Men’s Basketball, fi rst <strong>Union</strong><br />

student-athlete to receive the honor in school history. He was also the fi rst player in<br />

school history to score over 2,000 points in a career.<br />

• Juliana Filipe scored career goal No. 138 to become the all-time leading goal scorer in collegiate soccer history - all divisions, all<br />

genders. She fi nished with 145 career goals and was named a First Team All-American in 2001.<br />

• <strong>Union</strong> wins back-to-back-to-back KIAC and District 32 baseball championships.<br />

• First and only undefeated season in <strong>football</strong> program history as <strong>Union</strong> goes 5-0-2, outscoring its opponents 79-21 with four shutouts<br />

and wins over Eastern Kentucky (14-7) and Morehead State (15-8).<br />

• Trailing 60-40 with 10:08 to play, <strong>Union</strong> reels off 17 consecutive points to pull within three of No. 7 Georgetown (Ky.) <strong>College</strong><br />

in men’s basketball. After a Georgetown basket made it a fi ve-point game, the Bulldogs scored the next nine points with D.J.<br />

Washington accounting for six of them to take a 66-62 advantage. Georgetown added a free throw with 1:13 remaining, but <strong>Union</strong><br />

held on for the 66-63 win. Durrell Robinson led the way with 27 points and eight rebounds.<br />

• The Lady Bulldog soccer team fi nishes the regular season ranked No. 1 in the nation and qualifi ed for the NAIA National Tournament,<br />

advancing all the way to the Final Four before being eliminated by eventual champion Westmont (Calif.) <strong>College</strong>. Freshman<br />

Alessandra Tavoloni and senior Ana Bruni earn NAIA First Team All-American honors.<br />

• Cherie Maue earned NAIA All-American honors in three swimming events, having made it to the fi nals of the 200 backstroke, the 200<br />

individual medley and the 400 individual medley. Maue placed sixth in all three events.<br />

• Cindy Chapman (the only woman in the KIAC playing tennis) defeated Joe Carini in tennis at Lincoln Memorial University, 7-6, 6-3.<br />

• Dan Sullivan caught back-to-back no-hitters versus Pikeville (Ky.) <strong>College</strong> in the same day as <strong>Union</strong> won both baseball games 10-0 and<br />

2-0.<br />

• In the fi rst two years of the program, Alice Foster qualifi es for the NAIA<br />

Women’s Golf National Tournament as an individual. In 1999, she placed 48th and<br />

was 32nd in 2000.<br />

After leaving <strong>Union</strong>, a number of student-athletes have experienced careers in<br />

the professional ranks. Nine former baseball players have turned professional, while<br />

fi ve <strong>football</strong>ers made the jump to the next level. James Anderson, a former Bulldog<br />

standout on the hardwood, was drafted by the Portland Trailblazers of the National<br />

Basketball Association and spent seven years with the club. Brandon Ketron will join<br />

the list by being signed as a free agent of the New York Yankees.<br />

As the individual and team success has grown over the years, so too has <strong>Union</strong>’s<br />

athletic facilities. Since 1998, every athletic facility has undergone some form of<br />

renovation, giving <strong>Union</strong> one of the top overall athletic facilities in the NAIA. With<br />

the refurbishment and construction of the tennis courts, <strong>Union</strong> has shown once again<br />

its commitment to providing its student-athletes the best possible amenities in their<br />

quest for success.<br />

With one century of success in the books, <strong>Union</strong> looks forward to continued success<br />

as new athletes and coaches continue to help shape and strengthen the Bulldog<br />

tradition.<br />

THE MID-SOUTH CONFERENCE<br />

e <strong>Union</strong> Bulldogs e<br />

20<br />

On April 24, 1995, the presidents of<br />

member schools, meeting in Nashville, Tenn.,<br />

formed the Mid-South Conference to serve as<br />

the competitive base for their entire sports<br />

programs. The move effectively merged the<br />

athletic pursuits of similar institutions. The<br />

conference is unique in its broad based athletic<br />

competition for men and women, offering<br />

championships in 15 sports.<br />

The president of each school serves on the<br />

Board of Directors which directly oversees<br />

the conference and the offi ce of the commissioner.<br />

This administrative “hands on” role of<br />

each school’s president is unique among athletic<br />

conferences and ensures a proper balance in<br />

the academic pursuits of student athletes.<br />

True to its commitment to broad based<br />

athletic competition, the Mid-South Conference<br />

recognizes the value of extensive campus<br />

based sports programs that maximizes the<br />

opportunities for athletic competition among<br />

their students.<br />

Championships are awarded in the following<br />

sports: Men - baseball, basketball, cross country,<br />

<strong>football</strong>, golf, soccer and tennis; Women<br />

- basketball, cross country, golf, soccer, softball,<br />

tennis and volleyball; Co-ed - cheerleading.<br />

THE NAIA<br />

THE NAIA: A PROUD PAST, A DYNAMIC FUTURE<br />

In searching for the NAIA’s place in<br />

the history of sports and higher education,<br />

several consistencies are revealed.<br />

Among them is the dedication to academic<br />

achievement above athletic excellence.<br />

Also apparent is the organization’s role as a<br />

trailblazer in providing equal opportunities<br />

for all student-athletes. Above all, there is<br />

an expectation of ethical behavior and a<br />

commitment to scholarship, sportsmanship<br />

and leadership.<br />

It is paradoxical that such a lasting,<br />

dynamic contribution to collegiate sports<br />

began with a mundane note in the first<br />

recorded history of the Association: “The<br />

first general session of the ‘Organizing<br />

Convention’ of the National Association of<br />

Intercollegiate Basketball (NAIB) was held<br />

in the Phillips Hotel, Kansas City, Missouri, at<br />

10 a.m., Sunday, March 10, 1940.”<br />

But the seed from which the NAIB<br />

sprouted was planted two blocks away<br />

at Municipal Auditorium. It was there in<br />

1937 that a men’s basketball tournament<br />

tipped off which has become the longest<br />

continuous national collegiate tournament<br />

in any sport. Further, out of that small-college<br />

basketball tournament, and the NAIB, grew an<br />

Association that now includes more than 360 colleges<br />

and universi ties and conducts two dozen national<br />

championship events.<br />

The tournament was the brainchild of Emil S. Liston,<br />

Dr. James Naismith, Frank Cramer, and a group of Kansas<br />

City business leaders who wanted to provide Kansas<br />

City-area fans with exciting amateur competition and<br />

to provide a framework for small colleges and universities<br />

to determine a national basketball champion.<br />

The original eight-team tournament expanded to<br />

32 teams in 1938 and suspended play only for World<br />

War II in 1944 before 16 teams were invited the following<br />

year and the fi eld got back to full strength by<br />

1946. Qualifying tournaments became mandatory at<br />

the district level in 1951.<br />

In 1948, the NAIB affirmed its commitment to<br />

equality by becoming the fi rst national organization to<br />

offer intercollegiate postseason opportunities to black<br />

student-athletes. Unprecedented action was taken in<br />

1953 when historically black institutions were voted<br />

into membership.<br />

One year previous to the inclusion of historically<br />

black institutions, another form of expansion occurred.<br />

In 1952, as a result of the expressed desires of the<br />

member institutions, appropriate steps were taken<br />

by which the NAIB was transformed into the National<br />

Association of Intercollegiate <strong>Athletics</strong> (NAIA), and<br />

the fi rst all-encompassing set of rules and standards<br />

was adopted.<br />

With the Association’s new name came the addition<br />

of national championships in golf, tennis and outdoor<br />

track and fi eld. Football, cross country, baseball and<br />

swimming and diving were added to the championships<br />

calendar in 1956. Wrestling (1958), soccer (1959),<br />

bowling (1962-78), gymnastics (1964-84), indoor track<br />

and fi eld (1966) and men’s volleyball (1969-80) were<br />

added later.<br />

Another signifi cant step occurred in 1957 when the<br />

Association’s headquarters moved from the campus of<br />

George Pepperdine <strong>College</strong> in Los Angeles to Kansas<br />

City to better serve the membership from a centralized<br />

location.<br />

Two major changes were made during the 1970s.<br />

An extensive study was completed in 1970 which<br />

paved the way for two divisions of <strong>football</strong>. In 1997,<br />

<strong>football</strong> was consolidated to one division again as the<br />

Football Coaches Association cited a narrowing gap<br />

between enrollment size and philosophy of the two<br />

divisions. In 1976, the men’s basketball tournament was<br />

moved from the confi nes of the Municipal Auditorium<br />

to Crosby Kemper Arena, also in Kansas City, marking<br />

the fi rst time since 1937 that the tournament had been<br />

held in a different arena.<br />

The NAIA revolutionized national collegiate athletics<br />

with the establishment of athletics programs for<br />

women on August 1, 1980. Offi cial notice on that date<br />

followed a mail vote by the membership on May 1 that<br />

supported becoming the fi rst organization to offer<br />

collegiate athletics to both men and women. Championships<br />

for women began that year with basketball,<br />

cross country, gymnastics, indoor and outdoor track and<br />

fi eld, softball, tennis and volleyball. Soccer was added<br />

in 1984, and golf was included in 1995.<br />

Another important chapter in the history of the<br />

NAIA unfolded in 1992 when the Association voted<br />

to move its headquarters from Kansas City to Tulsa. On<br />

August 1, 1993, the NAIA opened its doors in Tulsa and<br />

began a new era. Moving with the national offi ce was<br />

the Division I Men’s Basketball National Championship<br />

which had been held in Kansas City for<br />

56 years.<br />

During the 1993 NAIA National Convention<br />

in Atlanta, the waves of change<br />

once again washed over the Association.<br />

The membership voted to institute affi liated<br />

conference and regional groupings<br />

and discontinue the use of district play<br />

as a means of qualifi cation for national<br />

championships.<br />

Since 1937, the NAIA has administered<br />

programs and championships in proper<br />

balance with the overall educational experience.<br />

In 2000, the NAIA reaffi rmed its<br />

purpose to enhance the character-building<br />

aspects of sport. Through Champions of<br />

Character, the NAIA seeks to create an<br />

environment in which every student-athlete,<br />

coach, offi cial and spectator is committed<br />

to the true spirit of competition<br />

through five tenets: respect, integrity,<br />

responsibility, servant leadership and<br />

sportsmanship.<br />

Everything has come full circle. The<br />

NAIA relocated its National Offi ce in July<br />

of 2001 to Olathe, Kansas, just miles from<br />

Gardner where the idea for the smallcollege<br />

basketball tournament gave rise to the NAIA.<br />

Now, nearly 65 years after that initial tournament, the<br />

NAIA Division I Men’s Basketball National Championship<br />

returned to Municipal Auditorium, the arena that<br />

was home to so many memories from 1937-74.<br />

In July of <strong>2007</strong>, the National Offi ce moved once<br />

again, but not too far from Olathe. The NAIA relocated<br />

its headquarters to downtown Kansas City, Mo., as it<br />

returned to its roots.<br />

2006 IN REVIEW<br />

e <strong>Union</strong> Bulldogs e<br />

22<br />

The 2006 <strong>Union</strong> <strong>College</strong> <strong>football</strong><br />

season can be categorized under the<br />

No. 3.<br />

The Bulldogs had three different<br />

quarterbacks due to injuries. First,<br />

the season started with Joey Waters<br />

returning following the third best<br />

season in <strong>Union</strong> history with 2,059<br />

yards. A season-ending injury in the<br />

Pikeville (Ky.) <strong>College</strong> game brought<br />

in Kyle Callahan until a shoulder injury<br />

sidelined him for a game. <strong>Union</strong> then<br />

turned to Luke Moore to direct the<br />

Bulldog offense for the Frostburg State<br />

(Md.) University contest.<br />

Secondly, Ty Harris helped seal a<br />

victory at Chowan (N.C.) University<br />

when he intercepted his third pass of<br />

the game on the fi nal play at the <strong>Union</strong><br />

seven yard line. His three interceptions<br />

tied the <strong>Union</strong> record and he also<br />

returned one for a 60-yard score.<br />

Additionally, freshman running back<br />

Terence Pollock rose to the forefront in<br />

the month of October to reel off three<br />

straight 100-yard games. It marked<br />

the fi rst time a Bulldog has rushed for<br />

over 100 yards in three-straight games<br />

since 1994.<br />

When the season came to an end,<br />

<strong>Union</strong> stood with a 2-8 record.However<br />

Bethel’s victory over <strong>Union</strong> was later<br />

declared a forfeit to give the Bulldogs<br />

a 3-7 record. In Mid-South Conference<br />

East play, <strong>Union</strong> finished with a 1-4<br />

record.<br />

The season started with the annual<br />

Brass Lantern Series game with then-<br />

No. 18 University of the Cumberlands<br />

(Ky.). After the two rivals played a<br />

scoreless fi rst half, <strong>Union</strong> capitalized<br />

after a Cumberlands’ turnover to go<br />

in front 3-0. The Patriots reeled off<br />

14-straight points to take the lead<br />

before <strong>Union</strong> answered with a Pollock<br />

one-yard touchdown run in the fi nal<br />

quarter, making it a 14-9 contest. A late<br />

Bulldog turnover was taken back for a<br />

score by the Patriots to make the fi nal<br />

score 21-9.<br />

<strong>Union</strong> evened their record with a<br />

23-20 win over NCAA Division II foe<br />

Chowan, despite what the stat sheet<br />

may say. Chowan outgained the Bulldogs<br />

324-to-120 in total yards and outrushed<br />

the Bulldogs 197-to-42. <strong>Union</strong> only had<br />

the ball for just under 23 minutes in the<br />

game, but the Bulldogs capitalized on<br />

four Chowan turnovers. Harris tied a<br />

school record with three interceptions,<br />

the last one happening in the end zone<br />

to seal the win in the closing moments.<br />

Terence Pollock could collect his 1,000th career rushing yard during his sophomore<br />

season.<br />

Although the loss was later turned<br />

into a victory due to Bethel having to<br />

forfeit its wins, turnovers plagued <strong>Union</strong><br />

as it dropped the 26-7 decision. The<br />

Bulldog quarterbacking corps combined<br />

to throw seven interceptions while the<br />

Wildcats ate up the clock, rushing for<br />

262 yards on 39 carries.<br />

The next week, <strong>Union</strong> used an<br />

off ensive explosion to pick up a 39-<br />

17 MSC East win over Pikeville as it<br />

racked up 431 yards in total offense.<br />

Not to be outdone by the off ense’s<br />

impressive day, the Bulldog defense<br />

also controlled the Pikeville attack,<br />

holding the Bears minus-12 yards on<br />

the ground in their 19 attempts while<br />

the Bears’ air attack gained 286 yards.<br />

The <strong>Union</strong> secondary answered the call<br />

when needed with two interceptions<br />

at or near the goal line.<br />

The Bulldogs could not make it two<br />

in a row at Belhaven (Miss.) <strong>College</strong> as<br />

turnovers plagued <strong>Union</strong> in the 26-23<br />

defeat. <strong>Union</strong> held Belhavean to minusfi<br />

ve yards rushing, but offensive miscues<br />

allowed the Blazers to jump out to a<br />

14-0 advantage as they held on for the<br />

three-point wint. Pollock recorded<br />

his first collegiate 100-yard rushing<br />

performance.<br />

Once again, <strong>Union</strong> tried to battle<br />

back late in the fourth quarter, only<br />

to come up short at Lambuth (Tenn.)<br />

University. The fi nal <strong>Union</strong> drive started<br />

on the Lambuth 47 and Pollock busted a<br />

23-yard run on the fi rst play to set the<br />

tone. He ran the next six plays to set up<br />

<strong>Union</strong> at the 4-yard line for a fourthdown<br />

play. On the eighth-straight play<br />

to Pollock, he suffered a three-yard loss<br />

to give the ball back to Lambuth and the<br />

fi nal score was 9-3 in favor of Lambuth.<br />

On the day, Pollock ran for 131 of<br />

<strong>Union</strong>’s 181 rushing yards for his second<br />

straight 100-yard rushing performance.<br />

The <strong>Union</strong> run defense once again kept<br />

an opponent under a hundred yards for<br />

a third straight game, limiting Lambuth<br />

to 85 yards.<br />

In what was shaping up for a 3-<br />

0 homecoming win for <strong>Union</strong> over<br />

Frostburg State, a blocked punt with<br />

2:03 left in the game resulted in an<br />

eventual game-winning touchdown<br />

for the visitors as the Bobcats won 7-<br />

3. Harris had blocked a Frostburg State<br />

fi eld goal attempt which gave the ball<br />

to <strong>Union</strong> and preserved the lead that<br />

resulted from a 37-yard Chad Wilson<br />

fi eld goal with 7:48 to go in the contest.<br />

Once again Pollick ran for a thirdstraight<br />

100 yard game, he accumulated<br />

127 yards on 28 carries.<br />

Senior Brandon Webb ended his<br />

career on Burch/Nau Field in style on<br />

Senior Day against No. 8 Georgetown<br />

(Ky.) <strong>College</strong>. He recorded 4.5 sacks<br />

to set a new <strong>Union</strong> single-game record<br />

against the MSC East rival. Despite<br />

Webb and the defense’s efforts, <strong>Union</strong><br />

was unable to pull off the upset as<br />

Georgetown scored 35 fi rst-half points<br />

en route to 42-14 win.<br />

Once again a game was decided late<br />

when Callahan was stopped at the 1-<br />

yard line on the fi nal play of the game<br />

at West Virginia Tech. Trailing 43-37,<br />

<strong>Union</strong> had battled back after falling<br />

behind 22-8 at halftime and eventually<br />

looked at a 43-23 defi cit in the fourth<br />

quarter. After <strong>Union</strong> scored with 1:52,<br />

they were able to recover the onside<br />

kick setting up the potential go-ahead<br />

score. In the end, West Virginia Tech<br />

hung on for the Mid-South Conference<br />

East victory.<br />

<strong>Union</strong> started the last game of the<br />

season on a good note when Callahan<br />

connected with Chambers for a 27-<br />

yard touchdown, but it was not enough<br />

against UVa-Wise. The Bulldogs watched<br />

as UVa-Wise scored 21 unanswered<br />

points to capture the 21-6 win.<br />

MILESTONES AND NOTES<br />

• Pollock, ran to a <strong>Union</strong> freshman<br />

record 655 yards which also ranked<br />

as the 11 th best season total by a<br />

Bulldog.<br />

• Senior David Fairbanks reeled in 14<br />

catches to move into fi fth-place on<br />

the <strong>Union</strong> receiving list. He ended<br />

his career with 93 catches for 1,461<br />

yards in his four year career.<br />

• Jake Mayfield only rushed for<br />

269 yards in 2006, but he tied a<br />

school record with two two-point<br />

conversions against West Virginia<br />

Tech.<br />

• The fourth quarter was the time<br />

for the Bulldog offense to shine.<br />

<strong>Union</strong> scored 63 points in the fourth<br />

quarter of their games while the next<br />

best quarter was the fi rst quarter<br />

with 36 points.<br />

• This was apparent in the comebacks<br />

against Chowan, Belhaven and West<br />

Virginia Tech.<br />

• In the 39-17 win over Pikeville, the<br />

22-point margin-of-victory was the<br />

largest in series history.<br />

The 1934 <strong>Union</strong> <strong>College</strong> Bulldog<br />

<strong>football</strong> team was the first - and to this<br />

date, the only squad to go undefeated<br />

in program history.<br />

The Bulldogs went 5-0-2 and<br />

outscored its opponents 79-21.<br />

<strong>Union</strong> posted four shutouts during<br />

the final four contests of the season.<br />

Unfortunately, though, the Bulldogs<br />

themselves were held scoreless in two<br />

of those games, resulting in a pair of<br />

ties for the team’s lone to blemishes<br />

on the year.<br />

After a 31-6 win over Lees-McRae<br />

to open the season, <strong>Union</strong> followed<br />

with a 14-7 win over Eastern Kentucky<br />

and a 15-8 victory over Morehead<br />

State. The Bulldogs were then<br />

in a pair of 0-0 ties against East Tennessee<br />

State and Georgetown before<br />

getting back to their winning ways<br />

with a 12-0 blanking of Transylvania.<br />

<strong>Union</strong> closed out the season with a<br />

7-0 shutout win over Louisville.<br />

THE BRASS LANTERN GAME<br />

e <strong>Union</strong> Bulldogs e<br />

34<br />

The rivalry between <strong>Union</strong> <strong>College</strong> and University of the<br />

Cumberlands dates back to the early days of Bulldog <strong>football</strong>.<br />

In fact, the fi rst three games <strong>Union</strong> ever played were against<br />

Williamsburg Institute, as Cumberlands was known as in 1905.<br />

While Cumberlands has undergone a few name changes<br />

(after being known as Williamsburg Institute, it changed its name<br />

to Cumberland <strong>College</strong> before becoming University of the<br />

Cumberlands in 2005), the rivalry has remained hotly-contested<br />

over the years.<br />

The series got its beginnings in 1905, but after those three<br />

contests - all of which were shutouts by the victor, the two<br />

didn’t play against each other until the early 1920s. The last<br />

meeting was in 1924 when Cumberland won 26-0. But then<br />

Cumberland dropped <strong>football</strong> soon there after. <strong>Union</strong> continued<br />

playing <strong>football</strong> through the 1941 season, but the sport was<br />

dropped due to World War II and was not reinstated until<br />

1984.<br />

When Cumberland reinstated <strong>football</strong> in 1985, the rivalry<br />

resumed with the Bulldogs winning the 1985 showdown 34-12.<br />

The Brass Lantern was introduced as a traveling trophy for<br />

this rivalry in 1995 with the winner of the contest keeping<br />

the trophy until the following. The lantern represents the coal<br />

mining industry, paying homage to major industry in southeastern<br />

Kentucky where both colleges are located.<br />

There have been a number memorable battles since the series<br />

resumed. Here are some of the highlights:<br />

• 1988 - Cumberland 36, <strong>Union</strong> 31 - The Bulldogs<br />

were looking to put a blemish on Cumberland’s<br />

perfect record. The game went back and forth, but<br />

ultimately Cumberland prevailed 36-31 en route<br />

to a 10-0 regular-season record and the Mid-South<br />

Conference championship.<br />

• 1995 - <strong>Union</strong> 22, Cumberland 21 - In the inaugural<br />

Brass Lantern Game, trailing 21-7 going into the<br />

fourth quarter, <strong>Union</strong> scored 15 fourth-quarter points<br />

to pull out the victory. Winston Pittman scored on<br />

a 1-yard run to make it a 21-13 game before Scott<br />

Russell scored on a 2-yard run to make it 21-19 with<br />

6:41 to play. Then with 12 seconds remaining, Jeremy<br />

Macejewski connected on a 25-yard fi eld goal to give<br />

<strong>Union</strong> the 22-21 victory.<br />

• 1996 - <strong>Union</strong> 24, Cumberland 23 OT - The 1996<br />

game went down to the wire and then some. Down<br />

17-14 with 24 seconds to play, Jeremy Macejewski<br />

booted a 24-yard fi eld goal to tie the game and send into overtime. In overtime, Scott Russell scored on a 25-yard run and Macejewski added<br />

the PAT to put <strong>Union</strong> up 24-17. On Cumberland’s fi rst play in overtime, Ahmad Broadnax scored on a 25-yard run, but Lance Gaudet’s PAT<br />

attempt was no good, giving <strong>Union</strong> the 24-23 victory. Russell fi nished with 132 yards rushing on 19 carries.<br />

• 2001 - <strong>Union</strong> 24, Cumberland 17 - The Bulldogs headed into the fourth quarter up 16-3 and appeared to be well on their way to victory.<br />

However, Cumberland scored early in the fourth to make it 16-10, and then with 1:23 to play, Cumberland scored on a Brandon Rogers 1-yard<br />

run to go up 17-10. Led by quarterback Bart Elam, <strong>Union</strong> used six plays to go 87 yards for the game-winning score. With 23 seconds left, Elam<br />

punched the ball in on a 2-yard run before tossing the two-point conversion pass to Ernie Samuel for the 24-17 victory. Elam passed for 266<br />

yards and a touchdown on 16-of-31 passing and ran for 35 yards and two touchdowns. The win was also Tommy Reid’s fi rst as the Bulldogs’<br />

head coach.<br />

• 2005 - <strong>Union</strong> 35, Cumberlands 34 - Cumberlands entered the game ranked No. 5 in the NAIA and appeared poised for its fi rst postseason<br />

berth since 1988. After <strong>Union</strong> took an early 7-0 lead, Cumberlands reeled off 21 consecutive points for a 21-7 lead. Quarterback Joey Waters<br />

hit Courtney Elesby for a 3-yard touchdown pass to pull <strong>Union</strong> within 21-14 at the half, and then Waters hooked up with Jason Buster for<br />

an 11-yard scoring play to tie the game at 21 with 10:32 left in the third. After Cumberlands reclaimed a seven-point lead, Waters tossed<br />

two more touchdown passes and added a two-point conversion run to put <strong>Union</strong> up 35-28 with 7:23 to play in the game. Cumberlands cut<br />

the margin to 35-34 when Jeremy Vaught hauled in a 76-yard pass; at the 3:42 mark however, the PAT was no good as <strong>Union</strong> held on for the<br />

win. Waters completed 28-of-44 passes for 312 yards and four touchdowns as he was named the NAIA Offensive Player of the Week.<br />

Cumberlands went on to lose its next game in a blowout to Georgetown to fi nish the year 8-3 and out of the playoff, while <strong>Union</strong> ended 4-6<br />

overall and in a three-way tie for second in the Mid-South Conference East with Cumberlands and Pikeville as all three had a 3-2 league mark.<br />

• 2006 - Cumberlands 21, <strong>Union</strong> 9 - The game itself was just the typical, run-of-the-mill <strong>Union</strong>-Cumberlands matchup with the teams going<br />

back and forth until a late fumble allowed Cumberlands to extend its fi ve-point cushion to 21-9 en route to the 12-point win. What made this<br />

contest unique was that it was the fi rst played on a neutral site and under lights as the game was held at Campbell Field in Corbin, Ky.<br />
