MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT
Welcome to Cuddy Arena,
home of the Bulldogs. We
are very excited about the
2006-07 winter sports
seasons.
foundations. Among many things, the Kresge Foundation
grant will fund a $2.9 million 72-bed student housing
complex to be finished in 2007. It will also enable the
University to broaden its base of support for future
programs.
Both the men’s and
women’s basketball teams
earned a spot in the 2006
NCAA play-offs. The SAC
coaches picked both teams
number one in the preseason polls. With nine of
10 starters returning,
expectations are high for
these student-athletes.
There are many exciting opportunities at Wingate
University. In addition to our full athletic calendars, the
2006-07 performance series will include many fun-filled
evenings for all of us. Come back to visit us often.
In addition, our women’s swimming team has won two
conference championships in the last three years. We are
hoping to build on the success of our fall seasons. The
volleyball and cross country teams represented our school in
NCAA post-season play. The football team tied a school
record with eight wins.
We are proud of our current student-athletes. They compete
on a high level, both on the playing field and in the
classroom. Wingate University is sixth among NCAA
Division II Academic All-America® producing schools in
the 2000s. Wingate has 19 Academic All-America®
honorees during this millennium.
Wingate’s 28 Academic All-America® honorees (lifetime)
leads all South Atlantic Conference schools. Wingate’s 37
SAC Scholar-Athlete Award winners are the most of any
school in the league.
Our student-athletes do not miss a beat on the playing field.
In 2005-06, six teams (volleyball, men’s and women’s cross
country, men’s and women’s basketball and softball)
participated in NCAA post-season play. The softball team
won a school-record 47 games!
Wingate consistently ranks among the best small colleges in
the nation. This year, we are adding new masters programs
in physical education and sports administration. In the
spring of 2007, Wingate will award its first-ever doctor of
pharmacy degrees.
I am very excited about our new 2+2 program in teacher
education with South Piedmont Community College. Many
outstanding future teachers will benefit from this endeavor
as will the public school students in our region. In addition,
Wingate University Metro College began a unique transfer
partnership in January 2006 with CPCC Levine Campus in
Matthews.
Dr. Jerry McGee
Dr. McGee recently began his 15th year as President of
Wingate University. He is a graduate of three universities
and holds the doctor of education degree. He has enjoyed
much success during a 30-year career in higher education,
securing well over $150 million in gifts and grants for
scholarships, endowment and campus development. His
service as vice president of Gardner-Webb University,
Meredith College and Furman University has prepared him
well for his current position as President of Wingate
University. Under his visionary leadership, Wingate
University has been recognized as one of the best small
liberal arts colleges in the South and the premier small
private university in North Carolina.
During the summer of 2006, Dr. McGee was inducted into
the South Atlantic Conference Hall of Fame. Dr. McGee has
served on the NCAA President’s Council and as the National
Chairman of the Football Issues Committee for Division II.
He has also been a member of the NCAA Sports Wagering
Task Force. Recently he was awarded North Carolina’s
highest civilian award – the Order of the Long Leaf Pine.
Dr. McGee has officiated over 340 college football games
over the past 30 years and has been routinely selected for
post-season assignments including the Florida Citrus Bowl
twice, the Orange Bowl, the Gator Bowl twice, the
Army/Navy game twice, the Liberty Bowl, the Peach Bowl,
the Snow Bowl, the Fiesta Bowl, the Motor City Bowl, the
Houston Bowl, the Las Vegas Bowl, the Golden Isle Bowl,
the Holiday Bowl and the Rose Bowl. He has been selected
twice to officiate games that determined the national
championship. Last year, he was selected to officiate the
inaugural Atlantic Coast Conference championship game.
This past summer, we were awarded a $900,000 challenge
grant from one of the nation’s largest and most prestigious

The Wingate University women’s basketball team advanced to the finals of the NCAA Division II South Atlantic
Regional tournament in 2005-06. Along the way, the Bulldogs earned their ninth SAC regular season title with a
13-1 league slate. Wingate was a perfect 11-0 in the friendly confines of Cuddy Arena last year.
Head coach Johnny Jacumin welcomes back 11 letterwinners and four
starters from last year’s 25-7 team. Senior guard Tanetra Barrett was
named to the 2006 Daktronics, Inc., NCAA Division II Women’s Basketball
All-America first team, selected by members of CoSIDA.
Tanetra Barrett
The 2006 South Atlantic Region Player of the Year, Barrett led the SAC in
scoring at 19.8 points per game. In addition, she had the top field goal
percentage in the league at 53.2. In addition, Barrett received two other
All-American honors. She was the 2006 SAC Player of the Year and a first
team all-SAC pick.
Senior forward/center Emily Paffrath was the top shot blocker in the
South Atlantic Conference last season, blocking 2.6 shots per game.
Paffrath also contributed 8.2 points per game and 4.1 rebounds per game.
Sophomore point guard Anna Atkinson was the 2006 SAC Freshman of
the Year. Atkinson directed the top-scoring offense in the SAC, as the
Bulldogs finished the season averaging 76.4 points per game.
Atkinson led the league in steals per game (2.2) and assist-to-turnover
ratio (2.2). She finished second in the SAC in assists per game (5.1). She
contributed 9.9 points per game and 3.5 rebounds per game during her
first season as Wingate’s point guard. Both Paffrath and Atkinson joined
Barrett on the All-SAC teams.
All total, nine players return who have started at least one game for the
Bulldogs during the course of their careers. Senior forward/center Kerri
Metzker led Wingate in free throw percentage, hitting 85.7 percent from the foul line. Metzker averaged 6.7
points per game and 3.3 rebounds per game last season. Sophomore Leslie Tucker will provide depth for the
Bulldogs up front.
Wingate has the deepest backcourt in the South Atlantic Conference. Junior guard Kate Edwards led the
Bulldogs with 49 three-point field goals in 2005-06. She contributed 6.0 points per game and 2.0 rebounds per
game. Senior guard Petra Nagy started 16 games last season. She contributed 2.9 points per game and 11
three-point field goals.
Senior guard/forward Lakin Byer gives the Bulldogs many options, as she can play the two or three position.
Byer averaged 3.3 points per game last year. Junior guard Kasey Gillis made the most of her first season in the
Wingate blue-and-gold, participating in 30 contests. She contributed 2.9 points per game in 2005-06.
Sophomores Brittany West and Paige Mincey complete Wingate’s veteran roster. Both West and Mincey
earned quality playing time as true freshmen. West hit 85.7 percent of her free throws last season.
Bulldog head coach Johnny Jacumin is the dean of SAC coaches, sporting a 26-year record of 568-211 overall
during his tenure at Wingate.
Jacumin and his assistant coaches have assembled a quality recruiting class. Post players Autumn Payne
(Gordon Central HS) and Stacie Rhodes (North Raleigh Christian Academy) will give the Bulldogs many options
in the front court. Guards Suzanne Jones (West Stanly HS) and Sarah Rosser (Wakefield HS) will have every
opportunity to earn minutes throughout the season.

HEAD COACH BARBARA NELSON
Barbara Nelson takes over the Wingate University women’s basketball team after an
extremely successful high school coaching career at Providence Day School in Charlotte.
She replaces Johnny Jacumin, who retired at the end of the 2006-07 season following 27
seasons at the NCAA Division II school.
As the head varsity girls’ basketball coach at Providence Day School in Charlotte, she
compiled a 437-176 record with seven NCISAA state championships in 21 seasons with the
Chargers. PDS was named the Charlotte Observer Sweet 16 champions five times. In
addition, Providence Day won the CISAA basketball conference crown nine times under
Nelson’s watch.
In 2006-07, Nelson led the Chargers to a 30-4 overall record, a state title and a conference
championship. The Charlotte Observer named Nelson its girls’ basketball Coach of the Year
for her efforts this season, the fourth time she has received this prestigious honor. Nelson
has compiled a winning record in 19 of her 21 seasons with the Chargers. The 30 wins this
year were a career-best for Nelson.
Barbara Nelson has ties to the South Atlantic Conference. She is a graduate of Presbyterian
College with a B.S. degree in Psychology. A four-year letter winner in basketball for the Blue
Hose, Nelson served two years on the Scotsman Club board for her alma mater. She coached three players who signed SAC
scholarships, including current Carson-Newman College rising senior forward Tashea Ledbetter.
The accolades her Providence Day players have received could fill several scrapbooks. Konecka Drakeford was a two-time Parade AllAmerican (1991 and 1993). Drakeford was the NCAA Division II Player of the Year her senior season at Johnson C. Smith University.
Both Drakeford and Natasha Brackett were named the Gatorade N.C. Player of the Year and N.C. Miss Basketball in 1993 and 2001,
respectively. Brackett (Auburn) is one of four former Chargers to sign NCAA Division I scholarships. Drakeford (Israel and Turkey) and
Brackett (Israel) have played professionally as well.
Nelson’s involvement in the game of basketball extends beyond the Providence Day campus. A 12-year participant in the Women’s
Basketball Coaches Association (WBCA), Nelson was a high school All-American selection committee member in 2006-07. She has been
a Nike Basketball Camp Director from 1999 to the present.
She has coached AAU basketball (boys and girls) since 1986. Nelson was an assistant coach for an AAU 18 and under state and
national championship team in 1986. She has coached the Charlotte Royals (boys), Charlotte Monarchs, Carolina Comets and N.C.
Flight. Nelson spent two years as a floor coach for the WNBA Charlotte Sting during open and free-agent tryouts.
A much-in-demand clinician, speaker and student of the game, Nelson has worked and attended camps and clinics at Charlotte, N.C.
State, Wake Forest, Duke, UNC Chapel Hill, Lipscomb, Gardner-Webb and Wingate. Nelson and her husband Vernon have two children:
Quinn (17) and Haley (14).
“Barbara Nelson has an intensity and passion for the game of basketball,” Vice-President and Director of Athletics Steve Poston said.
“Since our first interview, Coach Nelson has approached this opportunity with enthusiasm and excitement.”
“She understands the balance an NCAA Division II student-athlete must achieve,” Poston noted. “We want to offer each of our studentathletes a well-balanced experience athletically, academically, socially and spiritually. Barbara Nelson understands this concept very
well.”
“Her track record is proven; Barbara Nelson knows how to win,” Poston added. “It is very important for us not to lose a step."

The new Kubota ZD21 zero turning radius mower is designed
to take on the toughest turf-all day, everyday.
The ZD has the lowest noise level of any mower in its class.
Our Deluxe Link-Type suspension seat gives you the
smoothest, most comfortable ride you’ve ever had on a turf
mower. A PTO powered blower feeds a huge 12-bushel hopper
so you can mow longer before stopping to empty clippings.
The mid-mount mower is easily raised and lowered with a
Hydraulic Lift. Cutting height is adjusted by turning a dial.
Kubota’s unique Tilt-Up feature allows you to easily raise the
front of the mower to perform routine blade maintenance, without removing the mower deck.
Innovation. Performance. Convenience. If this is what you
value in a turf mower, climb aboard.
