Why the NIAAA?
Athletic Administrators consistently contribute the longest days among staff members in most American school districts. The second work day begins when the regular school day ends, and what has been planned, organized and implemented by the athletic administrator, goes into action. Whether an athletic administrator, assistant principal in charge of athletics, athletic director, coordinator, liaison or supervisor; there is a delicate balance among profession, personal time, and family, as the’AD’ provides student participation opportunities within education based athletic programs.
How does being a part of a professional association fit a busy lifestyle? What does this professional organization provide that will assist in adding order to a sometimes hectic schedule? How can individuals with a heart for helping others succeed be assured they are affiliated with a like-minded group? Why the NIAAA?
As we lead each day in school communities helping build tomorrow’s future, each ofus understands and relies on such qualities as integrity, credibility and a shared mission. These practical and often emotional criteria are ones that assist in determining in what areas we will rely, share experiences, and devote time and energy.
The NIAAA champions the profession of administering athletic programs in our nation’s high schools and middle schools. No other body values, promotes, preserves, supports and stands ready to uplift the cause of the athletic administrator, as does the NIAAA. Providing education, leadership and service platforms allows the NIAAA to best help colleagues network, choose from resources, draw from practices and give back to your profession while advancing in one’s career.

The northeast district held our annual spring athletic director’s conference and awards banquet on April 17 and April 18. This was our 51st Annual Awards Program. The Sunday night banquet was hosted at the Sheraton Suites in Cuyahoga Falls. The Northeast district set a record this year with over 120 athletic directors attending our Spring conference. The agenda for the day was kicked off by OIAAA Executive Director Bruce Brown addressing the attendees to highlight the current initiatives of the OIAAA, particularly the new changes being proposed to the membership structure. The keynote presentation this year was delivered by Oliver Luck, the NCAA Director for Regulatory Functions. Luck, a graduate of St. Ignatius High School and native Northeast Ohioan, spoke eloquently about the state of the NCAA and the changes he has seen on the job. After the keynote presentation, the first breakout session was titled “Developing a Social Media Responsibility Policy,” presented by Zac Jackson from ProFootballTalk.com. The second breakout session was titled “Arbiter- Hands-On Training.” Special thanks go out to Brenda Murray and Jenn Close from the OHSAA, Paul Powers from Aurora and Zac Leister from the Arbiter for taking time to answer athletic director’s questions about the transition to the Arbiter. The third breakout session was titled “Increasing Efficiency in the Paperless Office.” This session was presented by Jim Doyle from Hawken School who gave attendees and overview of some very useful strategies to go paperless in our athletic department offices. The last session of the day was the OHSAA Town Hall and Referendum Update. Thank you to Dr. Deborah Moore and Mr. Jerry Snodgrass from the OHSAA for presenting at our conference and providing critical updates from the state office. Lastly, a special thank you to Phil Cassella for all of his help and organizational efforts in putting on this year’s conference.

Two Ohio-grown interscholastic stalwarts were named among 12 individuals selected
for the 2016 class of the National High School Hall of Fame administered by the National
Federation of State High School Associations (NFHS).
Chuck Kyle, who has won 321 games and 11 state championships in 33 years as football
coach at Cleveland (Ohio) St. Ignatius High School, is one of four coaches selected for the 2016
class. Kyle has led his alma mater – St. Ignatius High School in Cleveland, Ohio – to 11 Ohio
High School Athletic Association (OHSAA) state football championships – all in the state’s
largest division. After serving as an assistant coach for 10 years, Kyle assumed head coaching
duties in 1983 and has registered a 321-83-1 record (.794 winning percentage) in 33 years. He
ranks No. 1 in state football titles and set a state record by qualifying for the playoffs in 22
consecutive years (1988-2009). Kyle’s teams were undefeated on five occasions and received
recognition by media outlets as the nation’s top team three times (1989, 1993, 1995). On four
separate occasions, his teams registered winning streaks of 25 or more games, with a best of 39
straight victories. In addition to football, Kyle has coached track and field at St. Ignatius for 43
years and his team claimed the 2001 OHSAA large-division state championship.
Tim Flannery, who served on the NFHS staff for 16 years and was responsible for starting the
highly successful NFHS Coach Education Program. Flannery saved the best for last during his
remarkable 46-year career in education. After concluding his 30-year career in Ohio with 15
years as director of athletics of the North Olmsted City Schools, Flannery joined the NFHS staff
in 1998. During his first nine years on the staff, Flannery directed the NFHS Coaches
Association, was editor of the Soccer Rules Book and Swimming and Diving Rules Book, and was
in charge of the NFHS Officials Association for two years. In 2007, he started the NFHS Coach
Education Program and by the time he retired in 2014 had built one of the most successful
programs in the organization’s history. Today, the program features 41 online education
courses, and more than four million courses have been delivered to coaches, administrators,
parents and students. Flannery also was heavily involved in the National Interscholastic Athletic
Administrators Association (NIAAA) for 30 years, including a term as president in 1995 during
which time the Leadership Training Program was initiated.
Other coaches who will be honored this year are Peg Kopec, who retired last year after
winning 12 state championships in 42 years as girls volleyball coach at St. Francis High School in
Wheaton, Illinois; Pete Boudreaux, who has won an amazing 43 state championships in cross
country, indoor track and field, and outdoor track and field at Baton Rouge (Louisiana) Catholic
High School; and Jack Holloway, who led his wrestling teams at New Castle (Delaware) William
Penn High School to seven state championships and 13 undefeated seasons during his 25-year

field contest official in Minnesota for almost 50 years.
Steve Spurrier, a three-sport standout at Science Hill High School in Johnson City,
Tennessee, before his highly successful collegiate career as a player and coach, and Marlin
Briscoe, an outstanding football and basketball player at Omaha (Nebraska) South High School
prior to becoming the first African-American starting quarterback in the National Football
Other athletes who were chosen for this year’s class are Joni Huntley, a three-sport
athlete at Sheridan (Oregon) High School in the early 1970s who later competed in the high
jump at two Olympics; Tom Southall, who overcame a physical disability to become one of the
best athletes in Colorado history at Steamboat Springs High School (1979-81), and the late Ken
Beardslee, one of the top pitchers in high school baseball history during his three years (1947-
49) at Vermontville (Michigan) High School.
These five athletes, four coaches, two administrators and one contest official will be
inducted into the National Federation of State High School Associations (NFHS) National High
School Hall of Fame July 2 at the Peppermill Resort in Reno, Nevada. The 34th Hall of Fame
Induction Ceremony will be the closing event of the 97th annual NFHS Summer Meeting.
The National High School Hall of Fame was started in 1982 by the NFHS to honor high
school athletes, coaches, contest officials, administrators, performing arts coaches/directors
and others for their extraordinary achievements and accomplishments in high school sports and
performing arts programs. This year’s class increases the number of individuals in the Hall of
The 12 individuals were chosen after a two-level selection process involving a screening
committee composed of active high school state association administrators, coaches and
officials, and a final selection committee composed of coaches, former athletes, state
association officials, media representatives and educational leaders. Nominations were made
through NFHS member associations.
Following is biographical information on the other 10 individuals in the 2016 class of the
The late Ken Beardslee has been proclaimed as “prep baseball’s first ace” in the NFHS
National High School Sports Record Book for his incredible feats at Vermontville High School in
Michigan in the late 1940s. In his three years on the mound for Vermontville, Beardslee won 24
of his 25 starts (the team was 31-1 during that time), but it was the dominance he displayed
that was even more amazing. Beardslee’s 24 victories included eight no-hitters, including two
perfect games, and seven one-hitters and a 0.32 career earned-run average. He set seven
national records, and two of those marks still stand after 66 years. His per-game season
strikeout mark of 19.0 and his per-game career strikeout mark of 18.1 remain the national
records today. Beardslee was drafted by the New York Yankees immediately after graduating
from high school and pitched in the minors from 1949 to 1956. An injury ended his playing
career in 1956, and Beardslee then served as a scout for the Pittsburgh Pirates for 21 years.
Marlin Briscoe was an All-City running back in football as a junior and senior at Omaha
(Nebraska) South High School in 1962 and 1963. Briscoe also played quarterback at times and
led South High School to the Intercity Football Championship during his senior season, and then
directed the South team to a victory in the Football Shrine game. Two weeks later, he was
named MVP of Omaha’s All-City Basketball Classic. Briscoe was a standout quarterback at
Omaha University (now the University of Nebraska-Omaha), where he set 22 school records
and passed for 5,114 yards and 53 touchdowns, and earned NAIA first-team All-American
honors. Nicknamed “The Magician,” Briscoe became the first African-American starting
quarterback in modern NFL history in 1968 for the Denver Broncos. He was an all-pro wide
receiver with the Buffalo Bills and earned two Super Bowl rings with the Miami Dolphins,
including the undefeated 1972 team. After directing the Boys and Girls Club in southern
California for many years, he continues to serve the organization today as a volunteer.
Joni Huntley participated in three sports at Sheridan (Oregon) High School, but track
and field was her claim to fame. Huntley was a three-time state high jump champion and
became the first American woman to clear 6 feet in the event as a high school senior in 1974.
Huntley set national records in the high jump and 100-yard hurdles on the same day at a 1974
meet, and won state titles in the high jump, hurdles and 100-yard dash. She also competed in
basketball and helped the school’s volleyball team to a state title in 1973. Huntley was the first
female to receive an athletic scholarship to Oregon State University, where she participated in
track and field and volleyball. Huntley placed fifth in the high jump at the 1976 Olympics and
won the bronze medal at the 1984 Olympics in Los Angeles. She was ranked No. 1 in the United
States in the high jump five times and was in the top 10 for 13 consecutive years. Huntley is a
retired kindergarten teacher and currently works in the Portland Public Schools.
Tom Southall excelled in football, basketball, track and music at Steamboat Springs
(Colorado) High School. Born without his right hand and wrist, Southall was two-time football
player of the year in Colorado and led his team to the 1979 Class 2A state championship. He set
the state’s single-game rushing record in 1979 with 412 yards. In track and field, he set the
state’s 2A long jump record in 1981 with a 23-4½ effort and helped Steamboat Springs to three
consecutive Class 2A state titles. On the performing arts side, Southall was a member of the jazz
band and concert band and was all-state in music on the trumpet. He received the Fred
Steinmark Award as Colorado Male Student-Athlete of the Year in 1981. Southall’s success
continued at Colorado College, where he led the nation in punt return yardage and set an NCAA
Division III career mark for kickoff return yards. He was track MVP all four years at Colorado
College and set school records in the long jump, 200-meter dash and 4×100-meter relay.
Southall currently is a teacher and coach at Cherokee Trail High School in Aurora, Colorado.
Steve Spurrier was one of the best multi-sport athletes in Tennessee history during his
playing days at Science Hill High School in Johnson City from 1960 to 1963. He passed for 16
touchdowns in football, averaged 22 points per game in basketball and was 7-0 as a pitcher in
helping Science Hill to the state baseball championship – and was named all-state in all three
sports and all-American in football. While football would be his sport of choice in college, his
high school baseball accomplishments topped the list. He recorded a perfect 25-0 record as a
pitcher and was a part of two state championship teams. Spurrier went on to win the Heisman
Trophy at the University of Florida. As a three-year starter at quarterback, he passed for 4,848
yards and 37 touchdowns. Spurrier played nine seasons with the San Francisco 49ers before
playing for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in his final season in 1976. He then was one of the most
successful college football coaches, compiling a 228-89-2 record in 25 seasons at Duke, Florida
and South Carolina, which included a national championship at Florida. Spurrier also coached
the Washington Redskins for two years.
Pete Boudreaux has been coaching cross country and track and field at Catholic High
School in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, for 48 years and is still going strong at the age of 74. He has
led his teams to 16 state cross country championships, 12 state indoor track titles and 15 state
outdoor track championships – an amazing grand total of 43. In addition, his teams have
finished second 21 times in the three combined sports. Boudreaux has coached 13 individual
state champions in cross country and his 1975 team compiled the only perfect score (15) ever
recorded in state history. In track, 23 Catholic High School athletes have set state records under
Boudreaux’s guidance. A graduate of Catholic High School, Boudreaux also served as the
school’s athletic director for 30 years and currently is a guidance counselor and physical
education teacher in addition to his coaching responsibilities.
Jack Holloway was one of the top high school wrestling coaches in the country during
his 25-year stint at William Penn High School in New Castle, Delaware (1978-2002). Holloway’s
coaching mark was 297-35 (.894 percentage), which included 13 undefeated seasons, and he
led his teams to seven state championships. He coached 39 individual state champions and was
named National High School Wrestling Coach of the Year in 2000. During his final 14 years at
William Penn, Holloway also served as the school’s athletic director. A former all-American as a
football player at Salesianum High School in Wilmington, Holloway was named executive
director of the Delaware Interscholastic Athletic Association in 2002 and served in that role for
three years. During this time, Holloway was instrumental in making Delaware one of the first
states to adopt new NFHS weight management protocols. Since 2005, Holloway has been
director of athletics at Tower Hill High School in Wilmington.
Peg Kopec concluded her outstanding career as volleyball coach at St. Francis High
School in Wheaton, Illinois, this past November with yet another Illinois High School Association
(IHSA) state championship. During her 42 years as St. Francis coach, Kopec led her teams to 12
IHSA state titles, including four in a row to conclude her career – the first in state history to
accomplish that feat. Kopec registered 30 or more victories in 30 seasons and eclipsed 40 wins
on three occasions and finished with an overall record of 1,248-260-2 (.827 winning
percentage) – good for fifth on the all-time list in the NFHS National High School Sports Record
Book. In addition to her 12 state titles, Kopec’s teams clamed 25 sectional titles and 31 regional
The late Eugene “Lefty” Wright had a profound impact on track and field and cross
country – as a coach and official and at the state and national levels – for more than 50 years
before his death last year at the age of 79. Wright was meet director of the Minnesota State
High School League (MSHSL) cross country championship for 46 years and was the lead official
at the MSHSL state track and field meet for 22 years. He was the MSHSL rules clinician for both
sports for 46 years and developed a procedure to minimize disqualifications by creating a form
that was adopted in official NFHS rules. Wright coached track and field and cross country at St.
Louis Park High School in suburban Minneapolis from 1958 to 1969 and won four state track
titles and one state cross country championship.
Ennis Proctor concluded his 20 years as executive director of the Mississippi High
School Activities Association (MHSAA) – and 47 years overall in education – in 2011 after
transforming the organization that was in dire financial straits when he started in 1991. During
his tenure, the MHSAA added 15 sports, including many new opportunities for female athletes,
and enacted reforms that judged individuals on their own without regard to race or gender.
Proctor left the MSHAA in 2011 with a $2 million reserve after inheriting an organization with
just $100,000. Prior to joining the MSHAA, Proctor was a football and baseball coach and then
spent 13 years as an assistant principal and principal before joining the MHSAA staff. Nationally,
Proctor served on the NFHS Board of Directors and was president in 2009-10. During his tenure,
Proctor guided the organization’s selection of a new executive director.
