ABout LAkELAnd A Message from the President…Welcome to Lakeland Community College, the first college in Ohio founded by a vote of the people. As a college, we take great pride in providing students with the education and training needed to earn a degree, start a career, upgrade job skills or complete the first two years of college education. In addition, it is essential for the college to provide students with opportunities to enhance their college experiences through participation in athletics or on-campus student organizations.

When it comes to athletics, Lakeland has an outstanding history of its teams and players performing at the highest level. Our coaches are top-notch and our student-athletes always strive for excellence on the field, on the court, and especially in the classroom.

Whether you are a participant or a spectator, thank you for supporting Lakeland’s intercollegiate athletic programs. Sit back and enjoy another exciting, fast-paced season!

Morris W. Beverage Jr., E.D.M. President

Scott M. Barlow, Athletic Director and Athletic Facility Manager

“Academic success for every student-athlete is the ultimate goal of the athletic department at Lakeland Community College,” says athletic director Scott Barlow. “We believe that success in athletics can support success in the classroom and, ultimately, a successful life.”

“At Lakeland, our athletic programs are designed to enhance an athlete’s academic experience by helping our students develop the critical life skills of time management, self-discipline, the ability to work within a team environment, and recognition of the need for personal improvement.”

“We are proud of the fact that we led the Ohio Community College Athletic Conference in academic award winners in 2008-09. We also had two NJCAA Academic All-Americans and an NJCAA Distinguished Academic All-American.”

Barlow was named Lakeland’s athletic director during the summer of 2000. He brought with him an extensive educational and practical background in teaching, coaching, and administration.

Barlow currently serves as the commissioner of the OCCAC and is the NJCAA Region XII women’s division director. He is also regional representative for the NJCAA Division II volleyball and women’s basketball poll and a member of several NJCAA standing committees including softball, swimming, and diving. He is the national chair of the NJCAA’s DII women’s basketball committee. Barlow was named OCCAC Athletic Director of the Year in 2002 and was selected as Co-Athletic Director of the Year in 2005.

He received a Bachelor of Science degree in physical education from the State University of New York College at Cortland, where he was a four year varsity baseball player. He has two master’s degrees; one in physical education and health from Radford University and another in administrative supervision from the State University of New York – Plattsburgh. Barlow currently resides in Painesville Township with his wife, Jennifer, and three school age children who are active in a variety of sports.

Greg Gerland enters his ninth year on the Lakeland coaching staff working as the pitching coach. After graduating from Euclid High School, he earned a bachelor’s degree in education from Cumberland University in Tennessee.

While at CU, he was a member of the Bulldog pitching staff. From there, he moved on to pitch for the Atlanta Braves minor league team during the 1995-96 season. In 1997, he became a pitcher in the Frontier League, while also serving as a coach.

Coach Gerland has been a Corporate Sales Auditor for Progressive Insurance for the past eight years. He currently resides in Eastlake.

LakeLand Community CoLLege BaseBaLL • www.LakeLandCC.edu/athLetiCs

The 2013 season marks Coach Krause’s 12th year leading the Lakeland baseball program. He earned coach of the year honors in 2004 and 2005 after bringing conference titles to Lakeland. Prior to becoming the head coach, he served as an assistant under head coach Chris Mongiardo for one year.

Coach Krause has been an active baseball coach for 17 years, beginning in 1992 as head assistant at Division I Cleveland State University. He helped coach the Vikings through the 1995 season. He also served as the head coach of the Euclid Admirals in 1994 and 1995, winning the Division both years and earning consecutive trips to the World Series.

Since his early days of coaching, he has coached sixteen players to the professional level, including 2002 Lakeland pitcher Chris Steinborn, 2003 infielder Joe Rhomberg and 2003 outfielder Brad Coon.

As an Eastlake North High School graduate, Krause played under coach Spark Sankal. Coach Krause continued his education at Florida Southern, playing for Chuck Anderson and winning two National Championships with the Moccasins. Following his collegiate career, he bounced around the minor leagues for two seasons with the Mets and Twins orgainizations, learning from some of baseball's best coaches.

At Lakeland his biggest success has been placing his players into high profile four year schools when their time at Lakeland is finished. He and his wife Colleen reside in Concord Township.
