Coaching Records

Since you would have to go to every sport's page and find a link to each head coach to find their career record, we figured we would make it easier and post them here:

Amanda Harris (Cross Country): no record (do not compete in wins and losses (places)
Patrice Parris (Men's Soccer): 2-4-1 (.333 winning percentage)
Chris Adams (Women's Soccer): 35-37-7 (.486 winning percentage)
Buffie Burson (Women's Basketball): 307-122 (.716 winning percentage)
Chris Faulkner (Men's Basketball): 131-153 (.461 winning percentage)
Tom Cantrell (Baseball): 509-226 (.693 winning percentage)
Mike Davenport (Softball): 273-115 (.704 winning percentage)
Kent Norsworthy (Men's and Women's Tennis): 17-51 (.250 winning percentage)

Also, some milestones that are inching close to magic numbers to watch for the remainder of the season (all North Georgia numbers, records do not include numbers from other institutions):

Megan Huffman (Senior, Women's Basketball): 1,084 points
Syretha Marble (Junior, Women's Basketball): 758 points and 390 rebounds
Anthony Rowe (Junior, Men's Basketball): 551 points and 363 rebounds
Jessica English (Freshman, Women's Soccer): 4 shutouts, 0.40 goals against average
Lauren Cappy (Junior, Women's Soccer): 37 points scored (all-time record) and 17 goals (all-time record)
Lauren Schenk (Freshman, Women's Soccer): 3 goals as a freshman
Brandon Kirksey (Senior, Men's Soccer): 4 shutouts (all-time record at NGCSU under DII)

More records will appear as the seasons go on!

Amazing week of soccer

It is amazing to think that so far this season the North Georgia men's and women's soccer teams have played 12 matches to this point in just the second week in September. It is even more amazing that the two teams combining for six wins, with all six wins coming in shutout fashion. The Lady Saints are 4-1 with freshman goalkeeper Jessica English recording four shutouts, while the Saints are 2-4-1 and have recorded two shutouts in their last two matches. Of the six shutouts, five have been witnessed by the home folks, well the Gainesville folks, at Allen Creek Park. The Saints came within 20 seconds of making it seven wins and seven shutouts, but a goal in the final 20 seconds from Erskine got rid of any preconceived notion.

A week of firsts occurred for the North Georgia men's soccer program this past week. Head coach Patrice Parris recorded his first career victory as a head coach, senior Philip Chittaro scored his first career collegiate goal, freshman Clay Davis recorded his first career collegiate goal, sophomore Brandon Byers recorded his first career assist and Brandon Kirksey recorded his first shutout of the season.
