  • Delta State 2005 Football Guide.Pdf
    Billy Dorgan, Jr. Student-Per Billy Dorgan, Jr. Delta State University student-athletes can now be the best they can be in the classroom and on the field. The Billy Dorgan, Jr., Student Performance Center became a reality thanks to a $1 million donation by Billy and Patty Dorgan, Sr., in the spring of 2002. The Dorgans’ great generosity was due in large part to Billy Dorgan, Jr.’s great academic and athletic experience at Delta State University from 1999–2000. The state-of-the-art complex totals 15,605 square feet. A free- weight area, a general excercise area, and storage make up the first floor of the center. Two academic labs, a conference room, coaches’ and athletic director’s offices are on the second floor. The Dorgan Center was completed on February 18, 2005 and is currently online and in use by all 13 DSU athletic programs. Billy Dorgan, Jr., was a standout place kicker for the Delta State University football program from 1999–2000. He helped the Statesmen to the 2000 Gulf South Conference and NCAA Division II National Championships. He owns the DSU and GSC formance Cent record for point-after-touchdowns kicked in a season record with 71 in 2000. He ranks third on the single-season scoring list with 109 points, and his 128 career points scored is 11th on DSU’s all-time list. He kicked 81 career PATs, ranking him second on the career PATs list. Dorgan, Jr., set the DSU record for field goals made in a season with 13, but none were more important than the game winner that beat Southern Arkansas, 30-28, in 2000.
