Our programs provide students with opportunities to become better players on the field and productive citizens in their communities. We believe in a competitive athletic program with a strong academic support plan. This helps guarantee that our athletes will be successful on the field and in the classroom in preparation for their chosen career. Our success as an institution is directly related to the quality of education we provide both inside and outside of the classroom. I am proud to be a part of this great institution and its many achievements. Chipola College is a special place. We invite you to become a part of our success. Dr. Gene Prough President Chipola College Chipola College A half-century ago, a few visionary educators and citizens dreamed of a new kind of higher education opportunity for the people of North Florida. Their dream became a reality with the creation of Chipola Junior College. Chipola entered into a new stage of life when it officially became Chipola College on August 18, 2003. In response to a critical shortage of math and science teachers in secondary schools, Chipola was given the approval by SACS to offer four-year degrees to Secondary Mathematics Education and Secondary Science Education. Beginning in January 2008, Chipola will enroll its first students in the Bachelor of Applied Science in Business Management program. Even though the name has changed, Chipola is still known for transferring quality students to fine universities such as the University of Florida, Florida State, and the University of West Florida, among others. During its sixty years of continuous operation, the college has developed a reputation for high academic standards, excellent teaching, small classes, reasonable fees, a beautiful campus, and friendly hometown atmosphere. The one constant that has made Chipola great is its emphasis on excellence in academic and extracurricular programs. Chipola provides small class sections with professional educators who work willingly to help you succeed in your academic career. Chipola students consistently outperform other college and university students on state exams, licensure tests, and in job placement success. Chipola utilizes an Academic Center for Excellence (ACE) Lab, Success Center, a Writing Center and a Math and Science Computer Lab, staffed with faculty, to help students outside of regular class time. Students also have the latest in Internet access in the college’s Technology Center. These services are available for both the academic transfer program and the occupational degree and certificate programs. In addition to academic excellence, Chipola has established a center of excellence in the fine and performing arts. The arts program is recognized as outstanding through star-quality drama productions, instrumental music, show choir, chorus, and visual arts presentations. Chipola’s athletic teams have a history of ranking at or near the top of regional, state, and national competition in basketball, baseball and softball. The college also supports a wide range of academic and extracurricular clubs and organizations. Chipola is understandably proud of its heritage and looks forward to continued success during its second half-century. Our Name The college is named after the Chipola River that flows along its northaern edge—the river was named by the original Indian inhabitants of the area. Indian language researchers have been unable to provide a certain translation of “Chipola,” but “upstream” and “sweetwater” have been suggested as likely interpretations. Area residents agree that in pronounciation the accent is on the second syllable, the “pole” in Chipola; and that the ending sound is “ah.” They disagree on the first syllable—some pronouncing it “Shi,” as in Chicago; others “Chi,” as in chip. What our Alumni think about Chipola... Dr. Malcolm Gillis President, Rice University “I am very much in debt for the educational opportunity provided me by Chipola. Without that opportunity, higher education would probably not have been an option for me.” Amos R. McMullian CEO of Flowers Industries, Inc “The faculty at Chipola knew the students personally and cared about helping them.” Johnnie Mae Gibson At one time, the highest ranking African American woman in the FBI “The things I learned at Chipola have helped me not only to survive, but to ready myself to find my niche in the world. I have to call what happened to me there an experience which inspired me to hope and reach toward a life, which during my high school years, I thought beyond me.” Buck Showalter Manager, Baltimore Orioles “Success at higher levels begins with proper training and direction in the early stages. Attending a college so close to home gave me the opportunity to grow intellectually and emotionally.” David Hart Actor, “In the Heat of the Night” “I got cajoled into auditioning at Chipola by a friend of mine, not knowing that I was making a decision that would affect the rest of my life. This time at Chipola set forth a sense of dedication and a level of professionalism that I have held onto throughout my career.” Retired Col. Westanna Harvey Bobbitt United States Air Force “When I decided to join the Air Force, my involvement in school activities at Chipola provided the quality background necessary for my acceptance into Officer Training School. I thought I was just having a great time, but the Air Force thought I was demonstrating something called leadership and organizational management.” The Milton H. Johnson Health Center Athletic Facilities Chipola’s home court is the Milton H. Johnson Health Center, which has the largest seating capacity of any basketball facility in the Panhandle Conference— approximately 4,000. Fan attendance at home games has been the highest in the state for several years. The arena has a new state-of-the-art Maple floor. New Weight and Conditioning Rooms and an Athletic Training facility have been added. Each athlete shares a private entrance suite in the Residence Hall with bath and limited kitchen facilities. The college has an excellent cafeteria. Tutoring for athletes is provided in the Academic Center for Excellence (ACE) Lab, which is equipped with the latest in computers and learning software. Athletes’ class attendance and academic performance is monitored to ensure success in the classroom. Academic coaches work with athletes in study halls and travel with the teams on extended trips. The Chipola Baseball/Softball Complex With the recent renovation of Chipola’s new baseball softball complex, Chipola now offers the best facilities in the Southeast. New Weight and Conditioning Rooms are furnished with modern equipment. The new facilities offer locker rooms, office and classroom space. The covered bricked viewing stands offer an excellent view of Chipola’s baseball field, while offering shade from the hot Florida sun. The bricked softball field viewing stands have been recently renovated to offer more seating. Also included is a new state-of-the-art indoor pitching and batting area. Athletic Training Chipola College allows student assistants the opportunity to participate in the day to day health care of the athletes. There are currently four positions with the athletic department for Student Athletic Trainers. The Chipola College Foundation rewards the students’ dedication and help by assisting those students with tuition and books for each semester they are involved. These students are under the direct supervision of the Head Athletic Trainer for the athletic department. While assisting the ATC and athletes, the students begin developing relationships with area health care professionals, such as Orthopedic Physicians, Nurses, Physical Therapist, Physician Assistants, and other health care specialists. 10 The Academic Center for Excellence The Academic Center for Excellence provides free tutoring or test reviews in almost every subject, including accounting, biology, chemistry, most mathematics courses, physics, history, computer science, literature and humanities. The tutoring can be individual tutoring or in a study group. Peer tutors are available throughout the week. Students come to ACE and join the peer tutor and other Chipola students in discussions regarding class lectures, chapter readings, and course handouts. ACE peer tutors work closely with Chipola’s faculty to ensure proper communication of course content. They offer clarification of concepts and assist students in developing the proper study skills for success in class. More importantly, they provide consistent encouragement, motivation and positive reinforcement to Chipola students. Test Review Sessions are scheduled throughout the semester for many courses. Study groups can also meet at the ACE to prepare for exams or work on class projects. The ACE provides access to computers for class and lab assignments. Academic Success Workshops are offered throughout the semester. The ACE Success Formula: Regular Participation in ACE Tutoring + Class Attendance = Success in the Classroom. 11 Men’s Basketball 12 2009-2010 Season 2009 - 10 Wins & Losses Overall Record 19-9 Conference Record 4-8 Date Opponent Score Won/Lost Date NOV 6 L.

The 2010-2011 Indians are off to a 14-2 start entering conference play with a Top 10 national ranking. As one of the youngest men’s basketball coaches in the country (he is 27 years old), Headrick is poised to improve from Chipola”s 19-9 season a year ago. Headrick’s thought on last season: “Last year, taking over was definitely a challenge with 12 new guys in this program, but as I look at where we are now, the top is not far away and that’s where we plan to stay, and that’s’ where this place belongs”. All five of Headrick’s sophomores graduated and signed division one scholarships. Headrick also served two seasons as an assistant at Chipola (2006-2007, 2008-2009) winning 68 games in those two years while making an appearance in the prestigious NJCAA national championship game and the semifinals 16 game in Hutchinson, KS. In his three years combined at Chipola as both head coach and assistant he has coached 23 division one basketball players and two NJCAA national player of the year award winners in Jamarcus Ellis (Indiana) and Casey Mitchell (West Virginia). Headrick spent one season working for one of the nation’s premiere coaches in Andy Kennedy at Ole Miss as the Operations assistant and video coordinator during 2007-08 season. Headrick helped the rebels, a preseason lastplace pick in the SEC West, to the NIT Semifinals and 24 wins (second most in school history). He handled administrative duties and assisted with academics and on-campus recruiting. Before arriving at Chipola, Headrick served as an assistant coach at the University of Montevallo for one season, where he helped the Falcons reach the NCAA Division II Elite Eight and set a school record for victories with 29. At Montevallo, Headrick coached the Gulf South Conference Player of the Year James Hall and two All-Americans. A native of Hamilton, Ala., Headrick graduated from the University of Montevallo in 2005 with a B.S. in Kinesiology. As a two-year letter- man for the Falcons, Headrick helped the team win back-to-back Gulf South Conference championships and reach the NCAA Division II Sweet Sixteen both season. Over his two seasons, Headrick helped the Falcons to a 49-16 record. He attended Bevill State Community College before transferring to Montevallo. Headrick graduated from Hamilton High School in 2001, where he was a three-time all-county selection. He averaged 21 points per game his senior season and helped the team to its first 20-win season in seven years.

This past year, the Rebels finished tied for first in the SEC Western Division and ended their season in New York with a run to the NIT Final Four. Patrick graduated from the University of Louisville with a Bachelor of Science in Business Marketing. At Louisville he was a student manager for Coach Rick Pitino and the men’s basketball team for four years, serving as head manager for the last two. The Cardinals had great success in Patrick’s four years with the program, winning the Conference USA title outright his freshman year and ending the season with a trip to the NCAA Final Four.

STU STUEDEMAN Assistant Coach First Year at Chipola In school at Vestavia Hills High School Stuedeman lettered in three sports - football, basketball, and baseball. He played basketball for the legendary Coach George Hatchett and is still among the top assist leaders in VHHS history. Stu then went on to play for Coach Lennie Acuff at the University of Alabama-Huntsville where he helped the Chargers to a 22-8 record and an NCAA tournament birth. Unfortunate injuries brought an abrupt end to Stuedeman’s playing career but he soon transferred to the University of Alabama. First Year at Chipola Stetson Hairston begins his first season as assistant men’s basketball coach at Chipola. Before joining the Indians, he served as an assistant men’s basketball coach at Lincoln Trail College in Robinson, Illinois from 2006-2008.

Les is the head coach at UAH and has won over 700 games. Vann is the pitching coach at Alabama where they have become a perennial Top Five team in the country. 17 . Legendary Indian Coaches Milton H.

Lane’s seventh season was by far the most disappointing of his coaching career. Several strong non-conference wins, including a victory of national power Trinity Valley, were quickly washed away due to several injuries and dismissals. The Lady Indians entered the Panhandle conference with just 7 scholarship players. That number dropped to 6 several games in due to another injury. With 12 games against teams ranked in the top ten of the NJCAA national poll, Chipola struggled to a 1-11 conference mark. Their lone win was over #3 Pensacola Junior College. The Lady Indians played much better than their record indicated and were competitive to the very end in most of their loses, however, the talent in the Panhandle was too much for the shorthanded Lady Indians. Bianca Jarrett became the 2nd 28 consecutive Lady Indian to earn First Team All-American status with NJCAA and the WBCA (Latoya Williams, 2009). Jarrett, who signed with West Virginia, capped off the season with an impressive feat. Jarrett averaged 35.4ppg in the final four games of conference play. Lane’s sixth season (2009) made school history when the Lady Indians defeated Kaskaskia College (IL), 8174, to finish third in the National Junior College Athletic Association Women’s Basketball Tournament in the Bicentennial Center in Salina, Kansas. This is the highest finish in the history of the women’s program at Chipola. The Lady Indians began the tournament with wins over Sheridan College, WY (86-47) and Walters State, TN (66-53). Jefferson Col- lege, MO defeated Chipola (78-59) in the third round. Central Arizona defeated Jefferson College in the championship game to win the women’s national title. The Lady Indians finished their season at 30-6. Lane’s fourth season (2007) was one of many highs and lows. While fighting through another difficult sched- ule and several early season setbacks, the Lady Indians once again accumulated a number of big wins. Chipola fought for another second place Panhandle Conference finish and a fifth consecutive FCCAA/NJCAA Region VIII Tournament appearance. Chipola won its third straight FCCAA/NJCAA Region VIII championship, once again defeating Gulf Coast in the finals 60-57. In Salina, Odessa (TX) once again all but ended Chipola’s season with a defeat in the second round of the National Tournament. The Lady Indians battled back with wins over Copiah-Lincoln and Salt Lake C.C. to claim fifth place. Lane’s third season (2006) at Chipola continued to see history made and records fall. The regular season began with an eight-week run as the number two ranked team in the country, the highest ranking ever for the Lady Indians. Early season victories over junior college powerhouse Trinity Valley and national tourney regular Southeastern (IL), as well as a last-second loss to eventual national champion Monroe (NY), highlighted a very difficult non-conference. The Lady Indians battled their way to a second place finish in the Panhandle and earned their fourth consecutive FCCAA/NJCAA Region VIII Tournament appearance. The Tournament final game was another thrilling contest between Chipola and Gulf Coast. Chipola defeated Gulf Coast 73-69, and earned their second consecutive trip to the NJCAA National Tournament. Chipola earned redemption on their second trip to Salina. Early round victories over Arkansas-Fort Smith and Trinity Valley propelled the Lady Indians into the Final Four where they lost a heartbreaker to Odessa (TX) 56-52. After another loss to Central Arizona, Chipola settled for a fourth place finish. The Lady Indians 2005-2006 season ended with school records in victories (31), conference victories (12), NJCAA national ranking (#2), and consecutive victories (11). Lane’s second season (2005) began the Lady Indians’ historic journey. Tojalynn Atmore’s three pointer as time expired catapulted the Lady Indians to a 54-51 victory over Gulf Coast that captured Chipola’s first-ever Region VIII championship and a trip to the NJCAA National Tournament in Salina, KS. The Lady Indians finished with a 29-8 mark, a school record, and an NJCAA national ranking of #6. Lane came to Chipola from Kirkwood Community College in Cedar Rapids, IA, where he served as an assistant coach in the men’s program in 2003. Prior to Kirkwood, Lane served as an assistant to the boy’s program at Iowa City West High from 1996-2002. Lane was also an assistant with the girl’s basketball program from 2000-2002. “I’m truly honored to be part of the great tradition here at Chipola,” said Coach Lane. “Chipola is an excellent place for top-notch athletes to come and get an outstanding education and further their basketball careers. Chipola is also a place where student-athletes can feel comfortable. The college and the town have a family atmosphere that supports the program.” Lane says teaching his players about good decision-making is the key to success. “I want my players to do the right thing—to know the difference between right and wrong both on and off the court.” Academics are a big priority for Coach Lane, “We’re going to have a team that works just as hard in the classroom as it does on the court to achieve success and represents the team well within the college.” A native of Iowa City, IA, Lane played college baseball at Kirkwood CC and Luther College in Decorah, IA. He graduated from Coe College in Cedar Rapids, IA, with a Bachelor of Arts Degree in History. He married the former Heather Meyer in May of 2005. 29 Assistant Coaches Candice Gist ASSISTANT Coach Gist comes to Chipola from the University of Evansville after serving a year as the Women’s Director of Basketball Operations, where she was responsible for film exchange, team travel arrangements, and community service.

Gist began her coaching career in 2007 at Harvest Preparatory High School in Columbus, Ohio.

The record of men’s tournament winners shows why the Panhandle Conference is considered the toughest in the state and the nation. Of 50 state tournaments, Panhandle teams(*) have won 25. Of the 25, Chipola has won twelve, the largest number of wins of any college in the state. Pensacola has won five state championships and won the national championship in 1993. Okaloosa-Walton has won three state tournaments— and in 1995 went on to win the national championship. Chipola finished third in the national tournament in 2009. Fans have suggested that Panhandle teams wear themselves out playing each other before they get to the state tournament. Rumor has it that both Pensacola and Okaloosa-Walton found the national tournament easier to win than the Panhandle Conference championship. No. 1 in 2009 . . .

Chipola mounted a late rally before falling to Seminole State College, 9-6, in an elimination game. Chipola entered the tournament as the No. 3 team in the NJCAA. Chipola lost a 16-7 battle to in-state rival Miami-Dade in the semifinals of the national tournament on May 21. The game was a rematch of the state championship which Chipola won 14-0. Timely hits led the Chipola Lady Indians to defeat Chattanooga 10-4 on the opening day of the tournament. In the top of the first, Trish Bliss connected with a two-run homerun to give the Indians an early 2-0 lead. Chipola beat Georgia Perimeter 7-4 in the opening-round of the tournament on May 20. The Chipola Lady Indians captured the 2010 FCCAA State and Region VIII Championship with a 14-0 win over Miami-Dade on May 2. Chipola beat State College of Florida for the second time in two days by the final 13-8 to capture the FCCAA Gulf District Championship to advance to the NJCAA National Tournament. Chipola’s road to victory in the state tournament was paved with victories against South Florida (4-2), St. Petersburg (4-3), State College of Florida (7-4 & 13-8), and Miami-Dade (14-0). In the Miami-Dade game, Chipola was led by Andrea Sullivan, who had three hits, three runs, five RBIs, two walks, and two homeruns in three at bats. Sullivan was named NJCAA Region VIII Tournament Most Valuable Player and batted .667 for the tournament, 10 for 16. In her sixth season at the helm of the Lady Indians program, coach Belinda Hendrix had 10 players on the Panhandle All-Conference team, including catcher Kellie Todd, Conference Player of the Year, and Emma Stevenson, Conference Pitcher of the Year. “I am extremely proud of our team and how we have fought all year long through adversity,” said Coach Belinda Hendrix. “At the beginning of the season, nobody thought we would compete for the conference title and make a run at the state title.” “To have the opportunity to compete in the National Tournament in Utah, it says a great deal about the character and the heart of our team.” The Lady Indians won the Panhandle Conference championship this year, and in 2008 and 2007. Chipola finished fifth in the 2009 State Tournament. The team captured the state and national championships in 2007. The Lady Indians finished the season with a record of 49-12. 44 2010 Wins & Losses Overall Record 49-12 Conference Record 12-2 Date Opponent Won/Lost Score Won/Lost Score 1/30/2010 Pima CC 1/30/2010 Yavapai CC 1/30/2010 South Mountain 1/31/2010 Salt Lake Utah 1/31/2010 Central AZ 1/31/2010 Arizona Western 2/1/2010 Chattanooga State 2/1/2010 North Idaho 2/6/2010 L.

In six seasons at the helm, Hendrix has certainly brought her dream into reality. Posting an overall record of 267-76, the Lady Indians have proven themselves worthy both in the state of Florida and on the national scene. During the 2010 campaign, Hendrix’s team won their third consecutive Panhandle Conference Championship (12-2) while earning her fourth consecutive Panhandle Conference Coach of the Year award (2006, 2007, 2008, 2010). Hendrix’s most successful season occurred in 2007 when the Lady Indians, under her direction, captured the school’s first team national title. After posting an overall record of 57-6, Hendrix was honored by her peers by being 48 named the 2007 NJCAA National Coach of the Year. Coach Hendrix is a firm believer in the old cliché that hard work pays off. She is notorious for being a student of the game and passing her passion for the sport down to her players. She is wellknown for developing players that can excel at several different positions. Hendrix believes that the experiences and challenges her players face on the softball field will equip them with the tools to adapt and conquer anything life might throw at them. Using this mentality, Hendrix has coached 45 All-Conference Players and 8 NJCAA All-Americans. A 1994 graduate of Chattahoochee High School, Hendrix led her softball team to a district championship and was named Most Valuable Player. Upon leaving high school, Hendrix received an athletic scholarship to Thomas University in Thomasville, GA, where she played on the Hawks’ softball team. After earning her degree in Psychology from Troy University, she returned to the Florida panhandle. In 2001, Hendrix began her coaching career at Vernon High School where she would amass a three-year record of 56-22 and two district titles. The Coaching Staff JIMMY HENDRIx Assistant Coach Jimmy Hendrix is entering his sixth season as assistant coach at Chipola College. Coach Hendrix works primarily with the Lady Indians’ infielders and has played a key role in the development of the pitching and catching staff. He serves as the recruiting coordinator for the Chipola Softball Program. Coach Hendrix is a 1995 graduate of Chipley High School. After graduating high school, started at shortstop at Enterprise State College. Upon transferring to Thomas University in Thomasville, GA, Hendrix led his team to their first appearance at the regional tournament and was named MVP for the 1999-2000 season. Hendrix began his coaching career at Vernon High School where he coached the baseball team from 2001-04 before taking over the reins of the Cottondale Lady Hornets softball team from 2004-05. He received a Bachelor of Science degree in Criminal Justice from the University of West Florida. LYNN EARLY Assistant Coach Lynn Early enters her sixth season with the Chipola Lady Indians Softball Program.

Chipola scored 5 runs on 8 hits with two errors and 8 men left on base. Cody Martin was 2 for 3 for Chipola. Tyler Wilson was 2 for 2. The Indians finished second in the Panhandle Conference to Gulf Coast which was also eliminated from the state tournament. Chipola chalked up a 13-11 conference mark with an overall 27-25 record. Chipola outfielder Eric Sauls was named to the FCCAA All-State First Team. Sauls finished the year with a .347 batting average with 66 hits, including 17 homeruns and 20 doubles. Chipola outlasted St. Johns River 3-2 in the second round of the tournament. Indian pitcher Rodney Quintero logged a 135-pitch performance allowing only seven hits while striking out ten in eight innings of work. The lightning strikes were not the only thing popping heard around Tigertown in Lakeland as Chipola (26-26) battled Palm Beach (36-13) in the opening round of the state tournament. The Indians were not able to keep pace with Palm Beach as the Indians lost 16-10 and were forced to battle their way back through the losers’ bracket. Eric Sauls’ three-run home run, his second home run of the game, capped a five-run seventh inning for the Chipola and gave them a 10-8 lead. However, a 53-minute rain delayed occurred after the final out and the Indians were not able to continue their momentum after the delay. In the bottom of the seventh with two outs, Palm Beach pounced with their own three-run home run and then the Panther’s next batter hit a solo home run. Indian pitcher Johnny Cristi was unable to cover first base as Alex Bello for Palm Beach beat Chipola’s Evan Stermer to the bag. An ensuing throwing error put runners on second and third. Coach Johnson. “Today we didn’t throw enough strikes and made too many mistakes; that’s been the story of our year.” 54 2009-2010 Wins & Losses Overall Record 27-25 Conference Record 13-11 Date Opponent Won/Lost Score 29-Jan Young Harris 30-Jan Meridian 31-Jan Pearl River 4-Feb St. John’s River 6-Feb Walters State 6-Feb Middle Georgia 7-Feb St. Petersburg 8-Feb St. Petersburg 11-Feb Wallace-Dothan 14-Feb Darton 16-Feb Shelton State 18-Feb Southern Nevada 19-Feb Southern Nevada 20-Feb Cypress (CA) 20-Feb Southern Nevada 23-Feb Darton 26-Feb Miami-Dade 27-Feb Middle Georgia 27-Feb St. Petersburg 28-Feb Kanakee 2-Mar Grand Rapids 5-Mar Gordon 6-Mar Gordon (DH) 8-Mar *Pensacola 10-Mar *Pensacola L 5-6 L 5-8 W 17-4 W 14-0 W 4-2 L 4-5 W 6-2 W 5-0 W 9-4 W 4-2 W 12-11 L 4-6 L 1-9 W 8-7 L 5-11 L 13-14 L 5-9 W 5-3 L 4-10 L 2-3 W 15-5 L 4-5 W 3-2 W 16-3 L 0-6 W 9-3 Date 12-Mar 13-Mar 15-Mar 17-Mar 19-Mar 20-Mar 22-Mar 29-Mar 31-Mar 2-Apr 3-Apr 5-Apr 7-Apr 9-Apr 10-Apr 12-Apr 14-Apr 16-Apr 17-Apr 21-Apr 24-Apr 26-Apr 28-Apr May 6 May 7 May 8 Opponent Won/Lost Score *Pensacola *Tallahassee *Tallahassee *Tallahassee *Gulf Coast *Gulf Coast *Gulf Coast *Northwest Florida *Northwest Florida *Northwest Florida *Pensacola *Pensacola *Pensacola *Tallahassee *Tallahassee *Tallahassee *Gulf Coast *Gulf Coast *Gulf Coast Middle Georgia *Northwest Florida *Northwest Florida *Northwest Florida Palm Beach St. Johns River Miami Dade W 12-11 W 5-3 L 1-7 L 4-5 L 5-13 L 6-8 L 12-20 W 10-0 W 10-4 W 9-8 W 7-5 L 7-9 L 5-7 W 7-4 W 9-1 L 7-10 W 14-13 W 10-9 L 3-4 L 5-13 W 12-3 L 4-6 W 11-8 L 10-16 W 3-2 L 5-7 The Team No. 3 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 31 32 45 55 Date 28-Jan 29-Jan 29-Jan 30-Jan 4-Feb 4-Feb 5-Feb 6-Feb 11-Feb 11-Feb 12-Feb 13-Feb 15-Feb 18-Feb 19-Feb 22-Feb 24-Feb 25-Feb 25-Feb 26-Feb 1-Mar 4-Mar 5-Mar 7-Mar 8-Mar 8-Mar Name Garison Boston Ronald Womack Edgar Delgado Adam Bigale Carlos Alegria Robby Coles Kaleb Barlow Michael Revell James Boddicker Matt Moses Dillon Vitale Tyrone Dawson Johnny Cristi LJ Hollins Travis Higgs Brett Moore Geno Escalante Luke Bole Sasha LaGarde Derrick Pitts Cory Segui Mack Harrison Matt Marsh Wes Hunt Timothy Mota Austin Southall Cl Position Soph. 2B/SS Fresh.

Johnson explains the Chipola Appreciation Club’s purpose as “to help the college maintain a quality athletic program.” The Appreciation Club is the official support organization of the college’s four athletic programs. Directors conduct an annual membership drive that yields an average of 200 memberships. Memberships—$250—include four passes to all basketball games, hospitality room, and reserved seating. In 1997, the club began hosting the State Junior College Basketball Tournament. The top men’s teams and women’s teams meet in the Milton H. Johnson Health Center every March to compete for the FCCAA/NJCAA Region VIII Titles. Chipola was the site of the first men’s state tourney in 1961 at the school’s old Field House, now an arts center. Former Chipola coach Jim Pavy’s Indians won the state title that year. Since then, Chipola’s men’s team has won twelve state titles—more than any Florida school. The men’s tournament returned to Chipola in 1996 after 35 years. Chipola hosted the first ever, combined men’s and women’s tournament in 1997 and has hosted the event ever since. The Chipola Lady Indians won their first state title in 2005, and again in 2006, 2007 and 2009. The club has amassed more than $500,000 in an endowment mainly through its former fund-raiser, the Wild Game Dinner, held during the 1990’s. The money will eventually be used to fund athletic scholarships. Retired coaching legend Milton H. Johnson was a charter member of the Appreciation Club in the late 1960’s. He said, “The club has been instrumental in keeping Chipola at the level we’ve been at for a number of years. The club was formed as a businessmen’s support organization to help Chipola compete at the state and national level. It’s a very important part of Chipola’s athletic programs. A great number of well-known businessmen have been directors of the club through the years with a core group that has kept the club vital through the turn of the century.” Johnson said Chipola’s strong athletic traditions can be traced back to the beginnings of the college in 1947. “Roy Beall and others who helped form the college recognized the importance of establishing a sports program. As athletics got more expensive and more competitive, more money was needed for things like transportation and uniforms that the college could not afford.” The Chipola Appreciation Club has helped the Chipola basketball program maintain its place as one of the premier programs in the country. Chipola’s owes much of its acclaim to the late Milton H. Johnson who coached at Chipola for 32 years. The college gymnasium and the Panhandle Conference Trophy also bear his name. Johnson recorded 628 wins at Chipola and led the team to the state tourney six times. He is a charter member of the FCCAA Hall of Fame and a member of the National Junior College Athletic Hall of Fame. Appreciation Club president Robert Trammell, also one of Johnson’s former players, said, “Chipola College is an important part of this community. And athletics is an important part of the college. It is something very special to see 3,000 fans show up for the homecoming game. No other junior college in the country has more loyal alumni and community support.” Chipola Coach Jake Headrick says, “I think historically, Chipola has had one of the finest programs in the state and this is due in large part to the Appreciation Club, the college and the facilities on our campus. Our support programs are arguably the best in the state and among the finest in the country.” Appreciation Club Presidents — Since 1969 R. D.
