HOMe OF CHaMPIONsSince current WT head coach Matt Vander-

burg was hired on May 9, 2008 the Buffalo Baseball Program has returned to the spot-light of the Lone Star Conference and NCAA Division II Baseball. In just three short years, WT has made the move from mediocrity to contention.

The Buffs registered their best season yet in 2010, finishing with a 23-20 overall mark and a seventh place finish in the Lone Star Conference, just one spot out of the LSC Tournament. WT finished up the season on a three game winning streak that continued into the 2011 season.

Fellow seniors Garrett Campfield, Trey Horn and Tyler Reagan all return to lend experience and leadership to the 2011 Buffs.

In the circle, the Buffs return Zach Walker, Jonathan Paez, Chad McLin, Josh Cordova and Mike De Long from a bullpen that saw a lot of innings during the 2010 season. Paez and McLin will see time in a starting role while Cordova, De Long and Walker will be used out of the bullpen. Paez registered a 6.28 ERA with 32 strikeouts in 38.2 innings as a starter last season, finishing with a 5-1 record on the mound.

WildEr ParkWest Texas A&M University is home to one of the

finest Division II baseball complexes in the nation. Wilder Park is a state-of-the-art in every way and provides West Texas A&M baseball players and coaches with an all-inclusive complex that includes locker rooms, meeting rooms, batting cages and one of the best playing surfaces anywhere in the country.

“We are very lucky to have the support of the community, administration, student body and the Buffalo Club here at West Texas A&M University” said Buff head coach Matt Vanderburg “With their support, we now have the opportunity to work and play on one of the nicest ballparks in all of NCAA Division II. Wilder Park has everything you could ask for and more.”

WT’s dream of a new, state-of-the-art baseball complex became a reality when ground was broken in a ceremony in the winter of 2009.. Construction workers worked continuously to complete the facility, which also competition fields for soccer, track and field and baseball along with tennis courts, outdoor basketball courts, three intramural fields for flag football and slow-pitch softball and practice facilities for football, soccer and the WTAMU Marching Band. The result was the creation of one of the nation’s premier collegiate sports complexes.

Wilder Park which was completed in December of 2010, includes ticket and concession buildings and a spacious pressbox with radio/television booths. The home dugout is connected to the team’s club-house which consists of coaches’ offices, a laundry facility, a team meeting room and locker room.

“Wilder Park gives our staff and players a wonderful experience and atmosphere to come out to everyday” said Vanderburg “Our players spend countless hours not only on baseball but just hang-

ing out in the clubhouse and bonding as a team.”

The park was named after David and Myrt Wilder of Plainview who donated $200,000 to the construction of the facility. David Wilder, WTAMU Class of 19.65, spent most of his professional career managing financial records and investments as an executive for First National Bank in Plainview. He retired in 19.9.6. He has served as a member of the board for the WTAMU Foundation. The Wilders previously have made contributions in excess of $100,000 to the WTAMU College of Business to endow the David and Myrt Wilder Scholarship fund, the baseball field at Wayland Baptist University is also named after the couple.

The lighted facility is made completely of AstroTurf GameDay 3D synthetic turf with the combination of green and chocolate brown for a perfect looking playing surface year-round. The stands feature 150 chair back seats for members of the Buffalo Club and season ticket holder and another 340 general admission seats for a total capacity of 49.0.

“Fans love coming out to a game at Wilder Park, our gameday promotions and atmosphere are some of the best that I’ve ever seen” said Vanderburg “We think that the construction of this facility will help us bring in the recruits that are expected at West Texas A&M to put talented and competitive team on the field year-in and year-out.”

Matt Vanderburg enters his third season as the head baseball coach at West Texas A&M. Vanderburg was introduced as just the fourth head coach of the Buffalo Baseball program on May 9., 2008 following a successful three year tenure at nearby Clarendon Community College.

2010 saw the Buffs record their best record under Vanderburg with a 23-20 overall mark with a seventh place finish in the Lone Star Conference. The season was shortened by continuous winter storms throughout the area that saw the Buffs lose 22 games due to cancellations. The Buffs hit .353 as a team with 85 doubles, 22 triples, 39. homers and 327 RBI for a slugging percentage of .522 with 56 stolen bases on 66 attempts.

During his first season at WT in 2009., Vanderburg led the Buffs to a 20-33 overall record with a 13-29. mark in the difficult Lone Star Conference. The Buffs won the first four games of the season which ranks as the best start to as season in program history.

Taking the reins of the program for the 2006 season, Vanderburg guided the Bulldogs to a 22-30 record, but began laying the grounds for winning

seasons in each of the next two years. During the 2006 campaign, the Bulldogs finished third nation-ally with a .376 team batting average and then fol-lowed that up with a .361 average in 2007, finishing 10th nationally.

Vanderburg began his coaching career working for his former high school coach Shannon Enfield. He was the head coach of the Norman Majors American Legion team, a premier summer league team located in Oklahoma.

Vanderburg is a graduate of Norman North High School and during his prep playing career he set numerous hitting records, some of which still stand today. He helped pave the way for a very successful program that stands today.

Out of high school he signed a scholarship to play baseball under Coach Joe Phillips at Northwestern Oklahoma State University. During his collegiate ca-reer at Northwestern he was a four-time All-Confer-ence performer and helped to bring Northwestern to the national spotlight.

While at NWOSU, the Rangers climbed as high as seventh in the national polls in addition to setting a new school record for wins in a season with 49..

A native of Norman, Oklahoma, Vanderburg holds his Bachelors of Science in health and physical education from Northwestern Oklahoma State and a Masters degree in health and physical education from Emporia State.

2011 SEaSON PrEviEWMatt Vanderburg enters his third season at the

helm of the West Texas A&M Baseball Program, and expectations are high for a team coming off of a 23-20 overall record in 2010. The Buffs look to mix the experience of four returning position starters with the eagerness of the newcomers for a chance at the NCAA postseason.

“I’m really excited about the direction the program is heading” said Vanderburg “We have a core of starters returning and I’m really excited about the guys we brought in to round out the lineup. We think that the newcomers will mesh well with the returners and hopefully lead to a lot of success this season.”

Returning from a year ago are three starters with catcher Garrett Campfield along with Will Miller and Brad Elders roaming the outfield for the Buffs.

Mann became one of the most feared hitters in the Lone Star Conference as a junior in 2009., as he became the everyday right fielder for the Buffs. Miller hit .420 with 12 doubles, one triple and six homeruns with 36 RBI for a slugging percentage of .664. He was named to the All-Lone Star Confer-ence Second Team for his efforts on the diamond.

Campfield returns after splitting time behind the plate with current WT Student Assistant Elliott Burrow as a junior in 2010. Campfield hit .387 with 11 doubles, two triples and 26 RBI for a slugging percentage of .508. Behind the dish, Campfield recorded a .89.5 fielding percentage with 67 putouts.

Elders returns to the outfield for the Buffs after an up-and-down sophomore season that was plagued by injuries. In his 23 games, Elders hit .213 with two doubles and one homerun with four RBI.

Also returning for the Buffs are seniors Trey Horn and Tyler Reagan, bringing some senior leader-ship to the 2011 Buffs. Horn will see time at first base and designated hitter while Reagan cam play multiple positions including infield, outfield and could also see some time on the mound.

Zach Walker and Jonathan Paez look to bring depth and stability to the WT pitching rotation after strong 2009. campaigns. Walker made 12 appear-ances with a 10.29. ERA and 17 strikeouts in 21 innings as a sophomore in 2010. Paez will see time as a starter in 2011 after a junior campaign that saw him make nine appearances with eight starts with a 5-1 overall record.

Taking a look at some of the newcomers, Justin Kuks and Irving Camacho look to be the game one and two starters for the Buffs in 2011. Kuks, a transfer from Ohlone Junior College in California has great command and will chew up some major innings throwing the seven inning game one of an LSC series. Camacho, a transfer from Clarendon CC, played under current WT head coach Matt Vander-burg as an infielder but will make his first collegiate start on the mound on Opening Day at Wilder Park.

Cody Wright, a local standout from Tascosa HS in Amarillo, returns for his sophomore season where he saw time in 32 games, registering a .271 batting average with three doubles and nine RBI as a spot starter in the infield. Fellow local product Kendall Neill will see time in the outfield after leading the Canyon Eagles to the Regional Semifinals as a senior in 2010.

In the outfield, Eric Dorton and Michael Dudley will look to fill some rolls for the Buffs in 2010. Dorton, a

transfer from Lamar Community College will be the starter in centerfield and Dudley a former Buff that has taken time off from the diamond will see some time in left and right.

Three newcomers should be everyday starters in the infield for the Buffs in 2011 with Bryce Baugh, Jess Cooper and Kendall Boone being able to play every infield position. Boone and Baugh will see time at first and third base and both have the talent and power to hit in the middle of the lineup as juniors. Baugh can play in the middle infield along with first base and pitch if needed out of the bullpen, the junior from South Jordan, Utah started at shortstop as a freshman at Pepperdine University before transferring to Southern Nevada.

Long known as a leader in intercollegiate athletics, the Lone Star Conference (LSC) is an innovative athletics conference which aims to provide a superior competi-tive experience for member institutions and to allow for comprehensive development of student-athletes through academic services and life skills programming. The LSC continues to build upon its proud history while developing into one of NCAA Division II’s most successful conferences.

The league’s mission is to foster student participation and success among member institutions in Division II inter-collegiate athletics as an integral part of each institution’s total educational program. The LSC pursues student-athlete development with highest regard to the principles of academic excellence, sportsmanship, ethical conduct, resourcefulness, community service, gender equity, and diversity.

The LSC - founded on April 25, 19.31 - has grown from a five-team conference of Texas-based schools to a 15-member league that spans three states (Texas, Okla-homa and New Mexico). The conference will expand in July 2010 with the addition of the University of Incarnate Word. The league continues to assist its member institutions in the maintenance of intercollegiate athletic programs that are compatible with the highest standards of education and competitive sports.

Throughout the league’s 78-year history, various institutions have competed under the LSC banner. Today, only Texas A&M University-Commerce (then East Texas State) remains from the original group that was formed in 19.31 when North Texas State, Southwest Texas State, Sam Houston State and Stephen F. Austin withdrew from the old Texas Intercollegiate Athletic Association.

The membership alignment has changed over the years, with current members having been added in each of the past five decades. Texas A&M-Kingsville (formerly Texas A&I) joined in 19.54, followed by Angelo State in 19.68 and Abilene Christian in 19.73.

Conference membership remained within the Texas bor-ders until 19.84 when Eastern New Mexico was admitted. Since then, the LSC has grown to include members from Arkansas and Oklahoma.

Central Oklahoma (19.87) and Cameron (19.88, 19.9.6)

were the next additions in the LSC’s expansion phase, while Texas Woman’s (19.89.) and previous members West Texas A&M (19.86, 19.9.3) and Tarleton State (19.68, 19.9.4) joined the league soon after.

Midwestern State was admitted early in 19.9.5, and the league grew again later that year with the acceptance of four more Oklahoma schools - East Central, Northeastern State, Southeastern Oklahoma and Southwestern Oklahoma - along with Harding and Ouachita Baptist from Arkansas.

That brought the league membership to 17, but Harding and OBU departed the conference after the 19.9.9.-2000 academic year to bring about the LSC’s current look.

Other past members of the LSC include Trinity, Houston, Lamar, Howard Payne, Sul Ross State and McMurry.

Beginning with the 19.9.7-9.8 academic year, the league was formed into two divisions - North and South - in football, volleyball, basketball, baseball and softball. Divi-sional champions are crowned according to results among division teams, with an overall league champion also being decided either by crossover games or a postseason championship tournament. For the third straight season, volleyball and baseball will play without divisions, utilizing a single conference standing to determine the regular-season champion and postseason seedings.

While the LSC has maintained a long-standing tradi-tion of competitive athletic programs for its members, many teams and individuals have gone on to distinguish themselves on the national stage. Entering 2009.-10, LSC member institutions had collected more than 100 team national championships, including 71 in NCAA Division II.

The LSC conducts conference championships in 16 sports (eight men and eight women). Men’s champion-ships include football, soccer, cross country, basketball, baseball, track and field, tennis and golf. Women’s titles are determined in volleyball, soccer, cross country, basketball, softball, track and field, tennis and golf.

The conference office is located in Richardson, Texas, a northern suburb of Dallas. Stan Wagnon serves as Commis-sioner, with assistance from Jay Poerner (Compliance) and Melanie Robotham (Media Relations).

Tim Dubrule made a definite impact on West Texas A&M baseball in 19.9.7, both at the Lone Star Conference and national level. The senior third baseman set several standards for future Buff and LSC players.

Dubrule was not only named the LSC Most Valuable Player, but the South Central Region picked the third baseman as the best in the region. He went on to become the program's first All-American.

In just one season, Dubrle set 10 school records and three

LSC marks, including batting average (.488) and triples (10). He produced a team-best 21-game hitting streak, followed up by a 12-game hitting streak.

Dubrule ranked nationally in five statistical categories. He was second in hitting, fourth in runs scored (1.54 per game), seventh in triples (0.19. per game) and 12th in both RBI (1.44 per game) and slugging percentage (.802).

The El Paso, Texas, native went on to play professional baseball for the Amarillo Dillas and he still holds several records in the LSC.

Adam DeLaGarza made an impact on the WT Baseball program in only one season with the Buffs in 2010. For his efforts on the diamond, DeLaGarza was named the second All-American in program history with a spot on the Daktronics All-American Honor-able Mention team.

DeLaGarza, a Red Oak, Texas native, became the everyday short-sop for the Buffs during his first season at WT, hitting .435 with 11 doubles, two homers, 32 RBI and a team leading six triples. He was a member of the All-Lone Star Conference First Team and was

also a member of the Daktronics All-South Central Region First Team.

While with the Amarillo Dillas of the United League of Professional Baseball, DeLaGarza ap-peared in 86 of 9.3 regular season games posting a batting average of .305 with 20 doubles and 2 triples to go along with his 7 homeruns while scoring 73 times, in 367 plate appearances. Not only did DeLaGarza prove to be valuable offensively his versatility didn’t go unnoticed having seen playing time at shortstop, second, third, centerfield, and finally anchoring himself as the everyday leftfielder. Adam was named the ULB Rookie of the Year and helped the Dillas to their third consecutive league championship.

West Texas A&M University provides a major university experience without the big college hassles and expense.

In 19.10, West Texas State Normal College opened its doors to a handful of students and today, West Texas A&M University is celebrating its Centennial with record enrollment numbers, award-winning academic programs, top-notch professors, state-of-the-art facilities and Lone Star Conference championships. Even though the University honors its 100-year history, it continues to grow and reflect an energy for the future. WTAMU is a student-driven Uni-versity that offers the ultimate college experience through a perfect balance of liberal arts and career-oriented programs combined with various campus activities and numerous community involvement opportunities to ensure future success. It’s a place where students come to grow, learn and lead.

WTAMU, a member of The Texas A&M University System, boasts an enrollment of more than 7,700 students from 35 states and 30 countries.

The historic campus dates back to the early 19.00s but offers a modern appeal with more than $9.5 million in capital improvements during the past 10 years, including the new $21.8 million Buffalo Sports Park. The new facility is home to the largest grouping of synthetic athletic fields in the United States with competition facilities for baseball, softball, soccer and track & field, practice fields for football and soccer and recreational fields as well as basketball and tennis courts, a jogging track and grand lawn.

The University’s main campus in Canyon also includes residence halls, academic buildings with classrooms, laboratories and offices, as well as the Jack B. Kelley Student Center, Virgil Henson Activities Center, Panhandle-Plains Historical Museum, Joseph A. Hill Memorial Chapel and First United Bank Center. Frank Kimbrough Memorial Stadium, with a seating capacity of 20,000, is located north of the main campus, and the Amarillo Center, which occupies the 7th, 10th and 11th floors of the Chase Tower, is located in downtown Amarillo. In addition to the main campus, WTAMU also includes an 80-acre Horse Center and the 2,310-acre Nance Ranch.


CaNyON & aMarillO, TExaSThe City of Canyon, with a population

in excess of 13,000, was founded on Christmas Day 1887 by Lincoln Guy Con-ner, a cattle rancher who bought the land from the State of Texas for $3 per acre. He was too modest to name the town after himself, and Canyon City was named after the nearby Palo Duro Canyon. In 19.10 the name was changed to Canyon.

Canyon is home to West Texas A&M Uni-versity, which is the single-largest employer in Randall County. The city prides itself as a close-knit community that combines a progressive attitude with small town friendliness and charm.

Palo Duro Canyon State Park, second largest canyon in the United States behind the Grand Canyon, contains more than 18,000 acres and is 120 miles long and 20 miles wide and is just 10 miles east of Canyon. Hiking, overnight camping and some of the most breathtaking scenery in the world is available. The canyon is also host to “Texas” which premiered in 2003 and is produced by the Texas Panhandle Heritage Foundation. The outdoor musical drama takes place at the Palo Duro Canyon Amphitheater.

The Panhandle-Plains Historical Museum is located on the WTAMU Campus and is Texas’ largest history museum. It was founded in 19.37 and houses more than 3 million artifacts. It features exhibits

on petroleum, western heritage, paleontol-ogy, textiles, transportation, and fine art.

Amarillo, 17 miles north on Inter-state 27, has a population of more than 173,000. It was first settled in 1887, and its name is taken from the Spanish-language for the word “yellow” because of the color of the sub-soil in the channel of the Amarillo Creek.

Amarillo is home to the Amarillo Gorillas of the independent Central Hockey League, the Amarillo Dusters of the Arena Football League 2 and the Amarillo Dillas of the United League. It is also home to the American Quarter Horse Association and the AQHA Heritage Center and Museum.

Route 66 Motor Speedway features races throughout the year and eccentric millionaire Stanley Marsh, III, has buried Cadillacs into the ground west of Amarillo for his “Cadillac Ranch.” The Harrington Medical Center is home to some of the finest and most innovative medical facilities in the country.

The Amarillo Civic Center underwent a renovation in 2003, adding more meeting rooms and exhibit space, which now totals 9.8,000 square feet. It houses a 5,000-seat coliseum, a 2,300-seat auditorium, and the Amarillo Visitor Information Center. The Amarillo National Center hosts various rodeos and horse and livestock events, and is located at the Tri-State Fairgrounds, host

to the Tri-State Fair held every September. Wonderland Park is the largest amuse-ment park between Dallas and Denver, and Splash Amarillo provides a cool, water-filled experience for those hot summer days.

Culturally the city has the Amarillo Sym-phony, Amarillo Opera, Lone Star Ballet, Amarillo Little Theatre, which has existed for more than 75 years, Civic Amarillo, which brings concerts and Broadway shows to town, and “Lone Star Rising,” an outdoor musical drama at Lake Meredith’s Fritch Fortress, north of Amarillo.

Amarillo is the transportation hub of the Texas Panhandle with the two interstate highways (I-40 east and west and I-27 north and south). Rick Husband Interna-tional Airport, named after the Amarillo

native commander of the ill-fated Columbia shuttle that crashed in Feb. 2003, is served by Southwest, American Eagle, Great Lakes, Continental Express, and Atlantic Southeast airlines.

Amarillo is located 112 miles north of Lubbock and is six hours by road from the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex and seven and a half hours from Denver by road. Albu-querque is four hours west and Oklahoma City is four hours east on I-40.

The Canyon-Amarillo area receives an average annual rainfall of 19..1 inches. It has a mild climate with four distinct seasons. There are 156.2 clear and 104.8 partly cloudy days annually, and the aver-age annual temperature is 57.2 degrees.

NCaa diviSiON iiPick a number of college sports fans and ask them what

it means to be an NCAA Division I, II or III member. Most of them probably will say that Division I is “big,” Division II is “midsize” and Division III is “small.” There is some truth in the observations, but what makes Division II special has more to do with philosophy than with size.

Here are features that make Division II athletics unique:

Division II student-athletes generally come from the area in which their institution is located. They are effectively integrated with the overall student body. Many Division II coaches and administrators perform other jobs or functions at their institutions, including teaching. Most Division II student-athletes pay for school through a combination of scholarship money, grants, student loans and employment earnings. Teams are encouraged to play other teams from their region, thus reducing expense and missed class time.

Division II brings its “A” game in the way it balances academics and athletics.

Division II provides an excellent environment for student-athletes. It maintains a highly inclusive structure for student-athletes in NCAA governance matters: The annual summit between the Division II Student-Athlete Advisory Committee and the Division II Management Council serves as a model for athlete-administrator communication. Division II also benefits student-athletes by having the most opportunities per capita to compete in national championships.

The number of national championships in Division II is about the same as Divisions I and III. For 2006-07, Division II national championship competition will be offered in the following sports:

National championship opportunities are comparable to those in Division I and III. Since 2003-04, National Champi-onship competition will be offered in the following sports

aCadEMiCSDivision II has adopted legislation and created programs

to better ensure that student-athletes acquire quality educations and graduate.

In January 2004, the Division II membership approved two legislative changes that increased academic require-ments for enrolled student-athletes.

The first change mandated that Division II student-athletes be required to attain a 1.800 grade-point average after earning 24 credit hours, a 1.9.00 GPA after earning 48 hours and a 2.000 GPA after earning 72 hours and thereaf-ter. The second change required that student-athletes must have earned at least six credit hours from the previous term. That new rule helped ensure that transfer student-athletes were legitimate students during the previous term and that enrolled student-athletes are progressing toward a degree semester-by-semester.

Division II also has initiated a new measure of academic performance through creation of the Academic Success Rate. The new measure will provide graduation-rate data on all Division II student-athletes, including transfers and those not receiving athletically related financial aid. Two pilot studies using the new measure produced a graduation rate about 10 percent higher than what was measured through federal government methodology.

Also, at its April 2006 meeting, the Division II Presidents Council (along with the Division I Board of Directors) approved a proposal that defines the role of the NCAA Initial-Eligibility Clearinghouse in validating the information on which the initial academic eligibility of a student-athlete is based. The action was taken after a series of newspaper articles revealed the existence of “diploma mills” that some prospective student-athletes were using to inappropriately enhance their academic records.

Division II also has established a Degree-Completion Grant Program to assist student-athletes who are just short of completing their degree but whose athletics eligibility has expired.

Many division ii student-athletes have gone on to outstanding careers, both inside and outside athletics.

dr. j. PaTriCk O’BriENpresident of West texas a&M university • fiftH year at WtaMu

Dr. J. Patrick O’Brien was named the 10th president of West Texas A&M University by The Texas A&M University System Board of Regents on Feb. 21, 2006. Since becoming president, the University has dedicated a new 144,000 square foot Fine Arts Complex, a new suite style residence hall, a pedestrian mall and clock tower, and a renovated Classroom Center. The University also developed a new strategic plan and realigned academic departments to include creation of a new College of Nursing and Health Sciences.

Innovative. Progressive. Proactive. Since taking the reins of the West Texas A&M Athletics program in May, 2006, Michael McBroom has elevated the program, as a whole, to previously unseen levels of success. Whether it be in the form of coaching and administrative hirings, strategic planning, facility upgrades or community outreach, the results are nothing short of remarkable.

Since arriving on campus as West Texas A&M’s Associate Athletic Director and Executive Director of the Buffalo Club in 2000, McBroom has tirelessly worked to bring WT Athletics to new heights, both on and off the field.

Full scholarship funding for all sports and first-class playing and practice facilities have been top priorities.

The addition of a sports complex on the north side of the WT campus is just the latest project which he has guided to reality. The complex, which will be completed in Fall 2010, will feature varsity competition facilities for soccer, baseball, softball and track & field, a pair of practice fields for football, a practice field for the WT marching band, as well as intramural fields for the general student body as well as the citizens of the Canyon-Amarillo area.

Marketing, ticket sales and fundraising have also been targeted to help elevate West Texas A&M’s overall athletic program.

During his tenure as athletics director, McBroom has implemented an Academic Success program, incorporated a comprehensive strength and conditioning program, revamped both the athletic training program and media relations operations and increased scholarship funding for all women’s sports.

Victories and numerous championships have followed, both on the playing field as well as in the classroom.

McBroom’s family has long ties to the Canyon area. His father is a WTAMU graduate and both of his grandmothers worked at the university for many years.

A 19.9.2 graduate of Southern Methodist University, McBroom earned his master’s degree in sports management from the United States Sports

Academy in July, 2006. Prior to joining West Texas A&M’s athletic department, he was a marketing executive in the private sector.
