Now entering its 21st year of existence in 2010-11, the Peach Belt Conference has become one of the elite Division II confer-ences in the nation. Since its inception in 1990-91, the Peach Belt has developed a consistent history of excellence which con-tinues to this day with 28 national champi-onships and 25 national finalist

Starting with only two championships in 1991, in men’s and women’s basketball, the conference has expanded to 13 champi-onship sports with the addition of women’s golf in the fall of 2009.

The conference traces its roots back to No-vember of 1988 when 11 schools first met in Greenville, S.C. to form a Division II conference. Following a second meeting on Dec. 3, 1989, five of those 11 schools, plus two others, formed the Peach Belt and begin play in fall 1990.

The Peach Belt was less than a year old before capturing a national championship. The Columbus State golf team took the hon-or by winning the 1992 national crown, the first of three golf championships the Cou-gars own. One year later, the Lander men’s tennis team began their record-breaking run of eight straight national titles, the first PBC dynasty. Since then, USCA men’s golf has won three straight national titles from 2004-06 while AASU women’s tennis has captured four titles overall.

The 2008-09 season was among the con-ference’s most memorable. The Armstrong Atlantic State men’s and women’s tennis teams both won their respective national championships – for the second year in a row; a feat only done once before in college tennis. In addition, the Augusta State men’s basketball team became the first confer-ence program to make back-to-back trips to the NCAA Elite Eight, Armstrong Atlantic became the first PBC volleyball team ever to advance to the Elite Eight and the North Georgia softball team was ranked #1 in the nation and reached the World Series.

The seven charter members of the confer-ence were Armstrong Atlantic State Uni-versity, Columbus State University, Fran-cis Marion University, Georgia College & State University, Lander University, USC Aiken and USC Upstate. The name Peach Belt Athletic Conference was adopted in January of 1990 and modified to Peach Belt Conference in May of 2000.

Augusta State joined the conference in 1991 and UNC Pembroke became the ninth member on July 1, 1992. They were followed by Kennesaw State University on July 1, 1994, Clayton State University on July 1, 1995 and the University of North Florida on July 1, 1997. Kennesaw State and North Florida departed for the Division I ranks in 2005, USC Upstate did the same in 2007, and the conference welcomed in North Georgia College & State University in 2005 and Georgia Southwestern State University in 2006.

For 2009-10, the Peach Belt has grown once again with the addition of the Uni-versity of Montevallo and Flagler College, giving the PBC 13 members, the most the league has ever had. The addition of the two schools returns the PBC to the state of Florida and expands the league into Ala-bama for the first time.David Brunk was named the second PBC commissioner in May of 2007. Brunk re-placed Marvin Vanover, who was the first PBC commissioner from 1991 to 2007. Brunk is charged with continuing the strong growth of the conference as its sec-ond era begins.

The conference currently holds champion-ships in 13 sports, six for men and seven for women. They are men’s and women’s cross country, men’s and women’s soccer, volleyball, men’s and women’s basketball, men’s and women’s tennis, baseball, soft-ball and men’s and women’s golf.

All Times Eastern Standard Time | * - Peach Belt Conference Game

Page 14: 2011 North Georgia Baseball Media Guide

Tom Cantrell is in his 12th season as head coach of the North Georgia baseball program during the 2010-11 season.

Following North Georgia’s 34-17 season overall and 15-9 mark in the Peach Belt Conference in 2010, a pair of Saints were selected in the 2010 MLB First-Year Player draft, marking the first time in program history two players were selected in the same year. Daniel Petitti was selected in the 37th round by the Oakland Athletics, while Chris Rearick was taken in the 41st round by the Tampa Bay Rays.

In their first year eligible for postseason play since entering the NCAA, Cantrell led his team to a tie for third place in the Peach Belt Conference regular season and ran through the PBC Tournament with four straight wins to claim the championship. The Saints finished the regular season winning 19 of 22 games and competed in their first NCAA South Atlantic Regional.

Cantrell reached a career coaching milestone during the 2010 season, picking up his 600th victory as a head coach with a 17-2 victory over Carson-Newman College on March 16, 2010. He is also just nine victories away from 450 ca-

reer wins at North Georgia, currently sitting at 441-236 in 11 years with the program.

His 2007 team finished their second season of competition at the NCAA Division II level and in the Peach Belt Conference, by fin-ishing 34-22 (17-13 PBC). Cantrell reached a pair of milestones in the 2007 season, winning his 300th game at North Georgia and his 500th game overall. He was also awarded the Peach Belt Conference Coach of the Year Award, and also coached the 2007 Peach

Belt Conference Freshman of the Year in Craig Brisson.

In their inaugural year, 2006, in the NCAA Division II and the Peach Belt Conference, the Saints finished with an overall record of 32-29 and a PBC record of 9-18. Under the direction of Cantrell, the Saints second baseman Brian Lauderdale was named PBC Player of the Year, South-Atlantic Player of the Year, third team NCAA Division II All-American, and signed a free-agent contract with the San Diego Padres.

In his 11 years at North Georgia, Cantrell has amassed a 441-236 (.651) record and has posted a winning record at NGCSU in each of those 11 seasons. Over his 15-year career at Georgia Perim-eter College (DeKalb College) and North Georgia, he has a 618-288 (.682) overall record. Cantrell also has a sharp eye for spotting major league talent, 22 of his former players have signed profes-sional contracts. Five of those 20 are currently in the majors: Nick Green with the Los Angeles Dodgers, Marlon Byrd with the Chicago Cubs, and Robby Hammock with the Arizona Diamond-backs. Cantrell also coached Adam Everett of the Detroit Tigers, and Michael Barrett during sum-mer ball at East Cobb, formerly of the Toronto Blue Jays.

Cantrell came to North Georgia from Georgia Perimeter College (DeKalb College) where he spent nine years, four as head coach with a record of 177-52 (.773). While at GPC, Cantrell’s teams pro-duced two NJCAA All- Americans, five NJCAA Academic All-Americans, 21 GJCAA All-Region, and two GJCAA Players of the Year.

In 1991, Cantrell returned to DeKalb as an assistant coach responsible for recruiting. In his five seasons as an assistant coach DeKalb compiled an impressive 204-94 record. In 1995 Cantrell was named GJCAA Assistant Coach-of-the Year.

In 1998, Cantrell guided DeKalb to its first state championship since 1987. They also won the East Central District Championship, and made an appearance at the JUCO World Series, DeKalb’s first appearance since 1977. Coach Cantrell’s squads were consistently ranked nationally in the top twenty. For his efforts in 1998, Cantrell, was named GJCAA Coach-of-the-Year, as well as the East Central District Coach of the Year.

Born on November 10, 1965, in Habersham, Georgia, Cantrell was a two-time Georgia All-State shortstop at North Clayton High School. Following his senior season, Cantrell began his collegiate career at DeKalb College. At DeKalb, he hit .332 and was an All-Region shortstop his freshman year with the Patriots. Following an outstanding sophomore campaign, in which he hit .362, he was

Page 15: 2011 North Georgia Baseball Media Guide

once again named to the All-Region. At the conclusion of his second year at DeKalb, the Atlanta Braves drafted him in the seventh round.

In the summer of 1985, Cantrell reported to the Braves rookie camp in Bradenton, Florida. After batting .214 in Bradenton, Cantrell was sent to Pulaski, Virginia for his second season. At Pulaski, Cantrell had a spectacular season, hitting .301 and making the Appalachian League All-Star team. That year, he helped lead the team to the Appalachian League World Series. While with Pulaski, he was coached by former Boston Red Sox and Los Angeles Dodgers manager Grady Little. Cantrell credits Little and college coach Doug Casey as the main cat-alyst that led him into the coaching profession. Cantrell re-tired from professional baseball in 1987 and began coaching American Legion baseball in College Park, Georgia. A highly successful amateur coach, Cantrell finished third in the nation three times.

Tom and his wife Shannon live in Dacula, Georgia, with their 18-year-old daughter McKenzie.
