1 WAYNE MARTIN Head Coach

As he enters his third season at the helm ot Morehead State University's Eagle basketball team, Wayne Martin is looking for hi s team to emerge from respectability to a champion. Martin came to MSU from basketball power Oral Roberts University, where he served on the staff of former MSU assistant coach Lake Kelly. No stranger to basketball in Eastern Kentucky, the 33-year-old Winchester native spent nine years in Pike­ ville, five seasons at Pikeville High School, and four at Pikeville College. As a high school cage coach, Martin com pi led an 82-56 record, including four district championships and two regional runner-up spots. His collegiate coaching record is even more impressive. He guided Pikeville's Bears to an 86-33 record, including three consecutive K IAC titles and appearances in the NAIA national tournament. His 14-13 mark in his first year at MSU pushed his career total to 100-46, an average of 20 wins in his first five collegiate seasons. His overall record is now 115-58 as a collegiate head coach. Martin took over programs at PHS, PC, and MSU follow­ ing respective seasons of 4-21, 7-17, and 4-19 at each school. He has proven his ability to turn sagging programs into winners. Working closely with Martin will be assistant coaches Ken Trivette and Randy McCoy, both graduates of Pike­ ville College, Bernard Johnson, a Cumberland College grad, and Herbie Stamper, MSU's new student assistant. MSU's head coach is married to the for.mer Pam Caudill of Morehead. They have one son, Chris, 8.

2 KEN TRIVITTE

Ken T rivette has been an assistant coach on the Eagle basketball staff during Martin's entire tenure. A successful head coach at Cumberland College for three years, T rivette is a graduate of Pikeville College. A basketball coach by family heritage, Trivette is the son of former Pikeville High School Coach J ohn Bill Trivette, a name that is linked to basketball excellence in Eastern Kentucky. His 1977-78 Cumberland team com­ piled a 27-10 record and made his school's f irst appearance ever in the NAIA national tournament. In addition to his career at Cumberland, Trivette served as a graduate assistant at the University of Ke ntucky and assista nt at Wayne County High School. Trivette, 31, a native of Pikevi lle, Kentucky, is married to the former Candy Huffman. They have two children, Ann, 11 , and Steve, 6. RANDY McCOY

Randy McCoy and Wayne Martin are beginning their eighth year working together. A member of Martin's staff at Pikeville College, he, like Trivette, has been an assistant at MSU during Martin's entire tenure. A graduate of Pikeville College, McCoy is a native of Elkhorn City, Kentucky. McCoy is involved in all areas of the program, w ith his primary responsibilities in the area of scouting, recruiting, and player guidelines. McCoy, 25, is married to the former Sherry Brickey.

3 BERNARD JOHNSON

Bernard Johnson, like T rivette and McCoy, begins his third year as a part-time assistant coach with MSU's Eagle basketball team. Johnson is a graduate of Cumberland College, where he was a three-year letterman, and served one year as student assistant on Trivette's staff. A native of Weirsdale, Florida, he was president of the WHS senior class. With the NCAA rule that will not permit a part-time assistant to recruit or scout off-campus, Johnson's abilities will be channeled in new directions for the 1980-8 1 season. He will be primarily responsible for monitoring p layer academics and coordinating on-campus visitations by prospective recruits. Johnson, 24, will complete requirements for a master's degree in business administrat ion this spring. KEN WRIGHT

Ken Wright, 28, a native of Vevay, Ind., came to MSU in 1978 to serve as athletic trainer. Previously he served two years as assistant trainer at Ohio University.

5 THE OUTLOOK

Morehead State University Eagle Basketba ll Coach Wayne Martin will have some questions to answer as the 1980-81 version of his basketball squad opens the season. The Eagles return eight lettermen, including four starters, from last year's team that finished 15-12 overall and 7-5 in Ohio Valley Conference play. The biggest question is "How do you replace Charlie Clay?" A 6-7 forward-center who earned All-Ohio Valley Conference honors his junior and senior years, Clay saw duty as both a power forward and center over those two seasons. Also absent are center Butch Kelley, a four-year veteran, and forward David Underwood. Top Eagle returnees are juniors Norris Beckley (6-2), Greg Coldiron (6-6), and Glenn Napier (6-3), starters for the past two seasons, and sophomore Eddie Childress (6-6), an all-OVC freshman performer. Other returnees include senior guard John Solomon (6-2), senior center Albert Spencer (6-9), junior forward Jeff Riley (6-7), and junior guard Rocky Adkins (6-3). Spencer could become the most important of the non-starting returnees, as he, along with freshman recruits Jeff Tipton (6-10), Darrell Lyons (6-10), and Craig Smith (6-8), should battle for the starting center position. Other freshmen w ho could be factors are power swingmen Henry Johnson (6-3), Dickie Alexander (6-6), and point guard Jeff Fultz (6-3). Another player with the tools to work into the pic­ ture is freshman guard Arthur (Pee Wee) Sullivan (5-10).

24 THE UNIVERSITY

Growth- in quality and quantity-is the continuing t heme at Morehead State University. From a teacher's college little known outside Ken­ t ucky, MSU has evolved into a regional university reach­ ing out to serve Kentucky, Appalachia, and the nation. Morehead State stands today on a 500-acre campus in the foothills of Daniel Boone National Forest. With enrollment at more than 7,000, and 900 facu lty and staff members, MSU features a 50-structure skyl ine dominated by t he two tallest occupied structures in Eastern Kentucky, 19-story Cartmell Ha ll and 16-story Mignon Tower. Academically, the University's six schools- Social Sciences, Education, Applied Sciences and Technology, Humanities, Sciences and Mathematics, and Business and Economics- offer 145 programs of study from the asso­ ciate degree through a joint doctoral degree. Administratively, the University operates under a 10-member Board of Regents with eight citizens appointed by t he governor of Kentucky and two seats held by elected faculty and stude nt representatives who hold full voting rights. The administrative structure con­ sists primarily of four bureaus-acade mic affairs, fiscal affairs, university and regional services, and student affairs. Dr. Morris L. Norfleet, who took office Jan. 1, 1977, is MSU's eighth president. A graduate of Purdue Univer­ sity and the Un iversity of Kent ucky, he jo ined the facu lty and administrative staff in 1962 as director of student teaching. Athletically, the University sponsors a full program of intercollegiate sports for men and women conducted in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Ohio ... Valley Conference, National Collegiate Athletic Asso­ ciation, the Kentucky Women's Intercollegiate Confer­ ence, and t he Association of Intercollegiate Athletics for Wo men. The University's athletic facilities include a 10,00-seat stadium with an eight-lane oval track, a 5,000-seat gym­ nasium, a ni ne-hole golf course, a 1,200-seat indoor track, an indoor swimming pool, 14 a ll-weather tennis courts, a 1,200-seat baseball park, and a lighted soccer fie ld. A new multi-purpose facility for basketball, seating 7,500, will be completed for this spring.

THE ADMINISTRATION

MSU's eighth chief executive has been a member of the university's faculty and staff for more than 18 years, · including the last six months of 1976 as acting president. Before moving into the president's office permanently, he served eight years as vice president for research and development. He joined the MSU faculty in 1962 as associate professor of education and director of student teaching. He advanced to professor of education and director of research and program development in 1965 and became a vice president in 1968. He began his career in education as a teacher in the Spiceland (Ind. ) Public Schools in 1952 and joined the Indiana Farm Bureau Cooperative Association as a public relations assistant in 1958.

28 G.E. (SONNY) MORAN Director of Athletics

The foundation for any structure must be strong for the structure to withstand the elements. That's the way athletics at Morehead State University is bui It on the strong principles of Athletic Director Sonny Moran. The 53-year-old Moran came to MSU in 1974 from the head basketball coaching position at West Virginia Univer­ sity. He served on the Mountaineer staff for nine seasons, the last five as head coach. Moran began his coaching career in 1950 at Chamberlain Junior High School in Charleston, W. Va. After serving as head basketball coach and coaching numerous other sports at Elkview and Stonewall Jackson high schools, he became head coach and athletic director at Morris Harvey College in Charleston. He posted a 148-74 career coaching record at Morris Harvey from 1957 t hrough 1965 before moving to WVU. He posted a 205-141 college coaching record and a 274-156 total career record. He was selected the college "Coach of t he Year" in West Virginia in 1962 and was the West Virginia Intercollegiate Athletic Conference "Coach of the Year" in 1964. He served as coach of the South squad in the North-South College All-Star Basketball Game in Erie, Pa., in 1972. His Morris Harvey teams won two WV IAC basketball championships and participated in the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics national tournament in Kansas City in 1962 and 1964. A graduate of Stonewall Jackson High, he received his bachelor's degree in 1950 from Morris Harvey and a master's degree in education in 1957 from WVU. Moran is married to the former Betty Morgan of Charleston. They have two daughters.

29 J.E (SONNY) ALLEN Asst. Director of Athletics

John E. (Sonny) Allen assumed the assistant athletic director's post after guiding the Eagles to an enviable 226-137 mark in 14 seasons as head baseball coach. His teams won four Ohio Valley Conference Eastern Division crowns and captured the conference title three times. He was selected OVC "Coach of the Year" in 1957, 1969, and 1973. His baseball teams at University Breckinridge School carved an outstanding 225-25 mark. But Allen may also be remembered for his own ath­ letic ability. He played high school basketball at University Breckin­ ridge School and was named to the all-district team five times, all-region team four times and all-state twice. He led Breck to the state title in 1946 and was named "Star of Stars" in the Annual Kentucky-Indiana All-Star Game that year. Allen lettered four times at MSU and is the only Eagle ever to be a four-time all-conference player. He was All-Kentucky Intercollegiate Athletic Conference twice and two time All-Ohio Valley Conference. He is the No. 3 scorer in Eagle basketball history with 1,923 points and held the all-time scoring record for a freshman until it was broken by Herbie Stamper in 1975-76. Allen won all-America honors in 1950 and signed a pro­ fessional basketball contract with the Indianapolis Olympians of the National Basketbal I Association. He signed a professional baseball contract with the Brooklyn Dodgers in 1946. He is married to the former Merl Fair of Morehead. They have four children.

30 OHIO VALLEY CONFERENCE

In 1948 five schools-Morehead State, Western Ken­ tucky, Eastern Kentucky, Murray State, and Louisville­ withdrew from the Kentucky Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (KIAC) and were joined by Evansville in forming the original membership for the Ohio Valley Conference. They were joined shortly thereafter by Tennessee Tech and Marshall. The membership has changed over the years. Middle Tennessee joined the league in 1952, East Tennessee in 1957, and Austin Peay in 1962. Louisville became an independent in 1949 and Marshall and Evansville departed in 1952. Most recently, East Tennessee withdrew, being replaced by the University of Akron and Youngstown State. In 1955 the National Collegiate Athletic Association formally recognized the OVC as a major basketball con­ ference, giving the league's champion an automatic bid to the post-season NCAA Tournament. At the time, the OVC was only the second six-team conference to obtain major status from the NCAA. For many years the OVC has been represented in the nation' s top holiday and post-season basketball tourna­ ments. The league has also won recognition for its foot­ ball program, having had representatives in such post­ season classics for college division teams as the Refrigera­ tor Bowl, the Tangerine Bowl, and the Grantland Rice Bowl. OVC champions have also been prominent in national minor sports tournaments in recent years, evidencing the strength of its programs in baseball, track, golf, tennis, and cross country. James Delany, former NCAA investigator and a gradu­ ate of the University of North Carolina, is the league commissioner. Delany, who operates the conference office in Nashville, Tenn., is the fourth commissioner in the OVC's 32-year history.

51 THE NICKNAME

It was in the fall of 1926 when J. M. Clayton, a More­ head businessman, announced he would sponsor a contest to select a nickname for the athletic teams at the town's new state college. Miss Peaches Ellis, now Mrs. Jack Cecil of Morehead, submitted "Bald Eagles" as a name suggestion and won the $10 first prize. "Bald Eagles" was used for a few years but it eventually gave way to just "Eagles" for the sake of convenience. A painting of t he Morehead State University Bald Eagle was commissioned in 1970 and more than $30,000 worth of prints have been sold to finance scholarships. A popular attraction at home footbal l and basketball games is the "MSU Fighting Eagle," a man-sized mascot resplendent in a colorful and detailed costume.
