Dave Simmons (pictured as a collegiate player) is one of the few head coaches in the nation who also scored more than1,500 points as a player. He starred at Louisiana Tech and is a member of the Louisiana Basketball Hall of Fame.
• OUTLOOK - McNeese State has nine lettermen returning,
three of them starters a year ago. The Cowboys expect to
present an improved team, one that has more experience, more
speed and a better scoring attack. Among the letter winners
back are two seniors and five juniors. Last year the Cowboys
posted an 11-18 overall record and missed the Southland Con-
ference post season tournament for the first time in Coach
Dave Simmons’ tenure. Starters returning are guards C. J.
Collins (point) and Diego Kapelan and forward P. J. Alawoya.
One other returnee - Stephan Martin - also saw starting time
a year ago.
• KEY RETURNEES: Diego Kapelan is back as one of the
top three point shooters in the conference while P. J. Alawoya
was one of the leading rebounders a year ago. Kapelan led
the team in scoring with an 11.7 average (12.1 in league play
only) and he made 70 of 202 three point shots to rank fourth in
the SLC in three point goals made. Kapelan led the Cowboys
with an .824 free throw shooting accuracy and ranked second
in the conference in league games only with an .850 mark (34
of 40). Alawoya ranked fifth in the conference in rebounding
with a 7.3 average and he had a strong 5.2 average per game
on the defensive boards. Another Cowboy who ranked among
the conference leaders was C. J. Collins who was ninth in as-
sist/turnover ratio with a 1.5 mark. Stephan Martin started
15 games and averaged 6.6 points per game while making 78
percent of his free throws. Patrick Richard had a 5.2 scoring
mark in his rookie year and Elbryan Neal came in as a junior
college transfer and saw action in 26 games, being the first big
man off the bench.
• COACH - Dave Simmons (Louisiana Tech ‘81) He now holds
a 39-51 won lost record as head coach of the Cowboys and is
66-81 overall as a head coach.
• CONFERENCE: The Cowboys compete in the Southland
Conference and have been members since 1972. The school is
the longest standing member of the league and has won four
league titles.
• RECORDS - Diego Kapelan set a school record last
year by making nine three point goals in an 88-74 vic-
tory over Northwestern State. His nine three point goals
were second high in the nation.
• BEST OF THE BEST - Diego Kapelan’s nine three point goals
in a single game and a triple double by John Pichon (now play-
ing pro ball overseas) were among the nation’s best individual
efforts last year. Kapelan’s achievement was a school record
(only one off the SLC record) and Pichon’s triple double tied a
school mark that is held by only two other players.

ball to the open man with consis-
tency and he has also improved
his scoring technique

of 29 per game...scored at a 4.9
clip and led the team in assists
with a 3.2 average...in confer-
ence games only he averaged 5.4
points a contest...was also tops on
the team in steals with almost one
per game...twice scored a career
high 13 points (vs Florida Atlan-

Dr. Robert Hebert is president of
McNeese State University and is in his 23rd
year as such. He is a native of Meaux, LA, is
a graduate of Louisiana-Lafayette and holds
his Ph.D from Florida State.
He is married to the former Lilly Ann
Vincent and the couple has four sons - Greg,
Chris, Gerry and Edward - all of whom are
graduates of McNeese State and are physi-
cians.
The University has provided, for over a
half century, service to its community and state
and to the students who seek to secure their
future through higher education. McNeese
opened its doors in 1939 as Lake Charles Ju-
nior College and as a division of the Louisiana
State University system. Name changes later
were made to John McNeese Junior College
(1940) and to McNeese State (1950) when the
university separated from LSU. In 1970 the
school obtained its present name of McNeese
State University.
The university presently has an enroll-
ment of 8,645 and has over 300 fulltime
faculty members, half of whom possess the
doctoral degree. The university is located on
580 acres in south Lake Charles.
McNeese was named after John Mc-
Neese, a pioneer Southwest Louisiana educa-
tor who served as the first superintendent of
education in Calcasieu Parish. He was also a
cattle rancher and was renowned for making
the first cattle drive across the Sabine River,
thus the school’s nickname of Cowboys.
• established in 1939, McNeese State has an enroll-
ment of 8,645. The university is located in Lake
Charles, a city with a population of 80,000. The
city is located in the Southwest corner of the state,
30 miles north of the Gulf of Mexico and 30 miles
east of the Texas-Louisiana border.
• McNeese’s schools of study are the Arts, Sciences,
Engineering/Technology, Nursing, Education, Busi-
ness and the Graduate School. The school produces
more teachers annually than any other university
in the state.
• In 1993, the Pulitzer Prize for fiction was awarded
to Dr. Robert Olen Butler, then a member of the
university’s Department of Languages.
• Among Cowboys who have gone on to profes-
sional athletic fame have been Joe Dumars, Kerry
Joseph, Ben Broussard, Buford Jordan, Leonard
Smith, Kavika Pittman, Terry Irving and Tom
Sestak.
• Dumars is now the president of basketball opera-
tions for the Detroit Pistons and is also a member
of the national basketball Hall of Fame.
Tommy McClelland is the seventh ath-
letic director in McNeese State’s 69 year his-
tory and he has “made a difference” in the
three years he has been in charge.
The Basile native and Northwestern State
graduate, was quick out of the box after his
hire. He formulated and drove home a two
week travel plan that brought McNeese ath-
letics to communities in Southeast Texas and
Southwest Louisiana. And, he put together a
“Partner with the Pokes” program for busi-
nesses.
In the short time he has served as the ath-
letic director, more than $2.5 million in reno-
vation and construction has been applied to
the facilities with the turfing of Cowboy Sta-
dium field and the completion of the Hodges
Street field house.
The renovation of the baseball facilities -
field, stands, dressing rooms, fieldhouse - was
also completed and in late 2009, the con-
struction of a new $8 million Jack Doland
fieldhouse got underway.
In the summer of 2008, McClelland
was named as one of Southwest Louisi-
ana’s “top 10 under 40” business leaders
by the local magazine, the Times of Lake
Charles.
A native of Basile, McClelland is a
graduate of Northwestern State (bachelor
and master degrees) where he was a foot-
ball (H-back and deep snapper) and track
(javelin) letterman.

McNeese State’s Dowell “Doc” Fontenot Sports
Medicine Center is an ultra-modern facility and one of the finest
in the South. It is named after longtime McNeese athletic trainer
Dowell Fontenot (pictured above) who was also a national
champion boxer during his undergraduate days at the university
and who is a member of the McNeese Hall of Fame.
The center is located just south of the McNeese athletic
fieldhouse.

athlete while providing he or she
with the skills necessary for success
both on the field and in the class-
room. Student athletes have access

New Jack Doland Athletic Fieldhouse
60 / THE COWBOYS
A new Jack Doland ath-
letic fieldhouse is on the
way and construction
was set to begin follow-
ing the 2009 football
season. This is a two
story $8 million facility
with new locker rooms,
weight rooms, meeting
rooms and offices as
well as seated area for
football games. The
building will encompass
32,000 square feet.
McNeese State University is located in Lake Charles, LA, a city with
a romatic past and a promising future.
Situated in Southwest Louisiana and only 30 miles from the Gulf of
Mexico, the area’s scenic beauty and abundant natural resources - with
waterways playing a predominate role - first lured settlers.
Lake Charles was once a haven for pirates like Jean Lafitte who hid
contraband along the labyrinth of backwater and bayous.
The city’s beginning can be traced to the 1790s when the first French
settlers came to carve homesteads out of the dense pine forests. Barthlemy
LeBleu established the first home six miles east of Lake Charles (now
known as LeBleu settlement). Charles Sallier married LeBleu’s daughter
and in 1803 built the first log cabin on the shell beach of Lake Charles.
The surrounding area was named after the Indian Chief “Crying
Eagle” which in French became Calcasieu, that name today designating
the river that runs on the edge of the city and up the middle of the par-
ish.
After the Civil War, Lake Charles became a lumber town with a
healthy schooner trade, swamped with orders for lumber to help rebuild
the war torn South. When lumber began to wane, the city opened a deep
water port in 1923, paving the way for industrial development. Today
this link to the Gulf accomodates up to 13 ships at a time.
Lake Charles is a city of 80,000 diverse people but the influence of
the French Acadians is seen in local cusine, language and customs. In
many of the small towns and bayous near Lake Charles, Cajun Fench is
still spoken.
The city is a center for international commerce with its port, abundant
oil and gas resources, a sprawling petro-chemical complex and an avia-
tion facility. It has also become a favorite vacation port with riverboat
casinos bordering its waters.
The city is set in the midst of a sportsman paradise - fishing (saltwater
and fresh), hunting (duck, geese, deer, squirrel, rabbit, turkey), shrimping
and crabbing are staples.
