(5/27/2008) Danny Kaspar named Southland Conference Coach of the Year

After securing the first Southland Conference championship in school history, the Stephen F. Austin Lumberjack basketball team registered
another first when junior forward Josh Alexander was named the SLC Player of the Year, and head coach Danny Kaspar Southland Coach of the Year honors.

Junior center Matt Kingsley joined Alexander on the All-SLC squad with a second-team selection, tying SFA with co-champion Lamar as the only schools with two players chosen to the top two teams. Sophomore point guard Eric Bell was an honorable-mention selection, giving SFA four all-conference honors in total.

Alexander's achievement comes in a career year for the Shreveport, La., native. He finished the regular season ranked among the league's Top 20 in both scoring and rebounding. He averaged 16.5 points per game and 5.8 rebounds per game through the first 29 games of the season, marking the third straight year for him to lead the Lumberjacks in both categories. Alexander became the school's career 3-point field goal leader after hitting a personal-best 89 triples this season. He has 234 career 3-pointers and is 13th among SFA's all-time scorers with 1,233 career points.

Kingsley is enjoying a break-out year and has pushed Alexander for the team scoring and rebounding titles all season. The Houston native averages 15.3 points per game and 5.6 rebounds, which rank fifth and 19th, respectively, in the SLC. He and Alexander give the Lumberjacks the most potent one-two scoring punch in the league, as no other team has two players in the top 10, let alone the top five. Tuesday's second-team nod marks Kingsley's first career all-conference honor. Congratulations to Josh and Coach Kaspar for their accomplishments and the success of the Lumberjack men's basketball program.

He averaged 2.7 points and 2.7 rebounds in just over 11 minutes per game. Scott shot 41 percent from the field and 33 percent from 3-point range.

(1/24/08) Tyler Chapel Hills' Chris Mass commits to play football and basketball at SFA

John Tyler's Romonte' Hampton and his cousin, Chapel Hill's Chris Mass plan to stay in the Pineywoods after the duo gave oral commitments to play for the Stephen F. Austin State Lumberjacks over the weekend. Hampton committed to play football, while Mass committed to play football and basketball.

Hampton, a 5-9, 185-pounder, led District 12-5A in rushing with 1,059 yards and 10 touchdowns. He was a unanimous choice on the All-District 12-5A football team. Hampton becomes the third JT player in the last year to pick the Southland Conference school, following William Granberry and Rod Warren. "I think it's a good choice, a great opportunity to take it to the next level," JT coach Dereck Rush said of Hampton's decision to join the Lumberjacks, who went 0-11 last season. "I think he can help them out and play (right away). He had an awesome season." As JT's featured back, Hampton proved durable, carrying the ball 224 times and more than 25 on five occasions. In the season finale against North Mesquite, Hampton toted the ball 36 times for a career-high 179 yards. "What he can bring to SFA is durability," Rush said of the Lion workhorse. "(He's) able to carry the ball 20 times per game and still
come out healthy and be durable."

Mass played quarterback for the Chapel Hill football team en route to making the postseason in 2006 and 2007, and last season led the
basketball team to the state tournament for the first time in school
history. Mass was averaging 17 points and 7.2 rebounds a game this
season before tearing his ACL last week. He will miss the rest of the season. "I think it was a great decision for him," said Chapel Hill basketball coach Mike Brewster. "I think he will fit in well. He's a great student as well as an athlete. I think he will excell. "With me being a SFA graduate, I'm excited about it and I want to go watch him play."

(1/22/08) SFA Hall of Famer Robert Lee "Red" Lowrance Dies

On December, 27, 2007, one of God's warriors passed into heaven.
"Coach" (Red) Lowrance as he was called by everyone, was born on August 24, 1913 in Garrison, Texas to George Lowrance and Jennie Oxsheer Lowrance. He was descended from Texas pioneers who entered Nacogdoches County in 1802 and established the Naconiche Ranch. Funeral Services were held at Hawkins High School Auditorium and burial followed in the Hawkins Cemetery.

Robert graduated from Garrison High School where he played on the first football team at that school. After high school, he entered Stephen F. Austin State University with the help of his aunt, Lela Morgan, who was a graduate of the first class of the university. He played on the football team at SFA and was a member of the so-called, IRON MEN, who won the first conference championship at the university in 1935. He later completed his master's degree at East Texas State. He was inducted into the SFA Athletic Hall of Fame in 2004. The same year, he was inducted into the Texas High School Coaches' Association Hall of Honor, a tribute that greatly humbled him. Teammates at SFA included Hall of Fame members: Floyd Wagstaff, the legendary Tyler Junior College Coach; and, C.N. Thompson.

After graduating from college, he began his coaching career at Longview High School. The next year, the Lobos won the 1937 State Championship. Through the years, he coached at Sabine, Ennis, Iraan, and finally Hawkins where he coached from 1948-1974. In 1976, the school renamed the football stadium Lowrance Field in his honor. His teams won numerous championships through the years in football, basketball, and track.

After retirement, he loved spending time at his farm in Hawkins. He
loved to give fresh vegetables and fruit to his friends and neighbors,
In 2003, Robert was honored by the community with a surprise 90th birthday party which was a smashing success. He was a loyal member of the First United Methodist Church of Hawkins.

God bless and keep Coach. Jeremiah 29:11"For I know the plans I have for you" declares The Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."

(12/13/07) Men's Basketball recruiting class ranked best in Southland Conference

SFA's early signing class, which includes two junior college transfers (Walt Harris, McLennan, and Lu Griffin, South Plains) and prep standout Zach Williams of Dallas Skyline, have been recognized recently by two online recruiting sources as the best crop in the Southland Conference.
The www.HoopScooponline.com and www.Rivals.com have both lauded the Lumberjacks' current crop as the best group of early signees in the Southland Conference.

The Hoop Scoop's annual ranking of the nation's fall signing period recruiting classes has SFA out in front of the Southland pack. The Lumberjacks' three signees earned an average talent rating of 3.0 in a conference that averaged a 2.240 talent rating. Harris, a 6'5" shooting guard, was the top-rated player in the conference, earning the only 4 talent rating in the league. Williams, a 6'4" small forward, is one of just six Southland recruits this fall to earn a 3 rating, which makes SFA the only team in the conference to have two players with at least a 3 talent rating. Griffin is a 6'5" power forward from South Plains Junior College who earned a 2 rating in The Hoop Scoop system.

In addition, Harris and Williams have also been lauded by Rivals.com in its breakdown of the top signings by position in the Southland. Harris is listed as the top shooting guard signed by a Southland Conference team, while Williams is a Top 15 high school player in the Texas, according to Mike Kunstadt's Texas Hoops. Furthermore, Williams is rated the No. 1 small forward signee in the SLC. SFA is the only team in the conference to have locked up the top signee at more than one position.

Congratulations to Coach Kaspar and his staff.

The poll is a production of CollegeInsider.com, and its voting panel is comprised of 31 head coaches representing teams from the twenty-two NCAA Division I mid-major conferences.

SFA's inclusion in the Mid-Major Top 25 is just the most recent wave of buzz created by the Lumberjacks' win at Oklahoma. The Lumberjacks were lauded for the upset victory with highlight clip appearances during college basketball halftime shows on both ESPN and CBS Saturday. Later that evening, highlights from the game were featured on ESPN News, and the Lumberjacks' win was dubbed the surprise of the day by analyst Stephen Bardo during the "One-and-One" college basketball segment on SportsCenter. Monday, Dick Vitale named the game one of his two "Shocks
of the Week" on Dickey V's Awards, a feature authored weekly on ESPN.com by the former coach-turned national college basketball analyst and celebrity.

The victory improved the Lumberjacks' record to 7-1 o n the season, matching the program's best record through eight games in 26 years and continuing the best start to a season since SFA joined the NCAA Division I ranks in the 1987-88 season.
