N-Club Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony 2025
2025-10-04 10:00 - 12:00 | Magale Recital Hall, Creative and Performing Arts Annex, 143 Central Ave., Natchitoches, LA, 71457, United States
A four-time All-American, several Southland Conference champions and two members of a team responsible for the most iconic moment in Northwestern State athletics’ history highlight the 2025 N-Club Hall of Fame class.
The 13-member group, which was chosen through a combination of a public vote of Northwestern letterwinners and a selection committee, will be honored during a 10 a.m. induction ceremony Oct. 4.
Cody Fillinich, a four-time All-American in the javelin, leads a class that spans seven Northwestern sports. Three Demon football players – punter Mike Crow, running back Derrick Johnese and wide receiver/return specialist Toby Zeigler – and three Demon men’s basketball players – guards Josh Hancock, Tyrone Mitchell and Jermaine Wallace – will give their programs multiple inductees.
Softball also is represented by multiple inductees – pitcher Amanda Glenn and coach Gay McNutt.
Amanda Bennett (women’s basketball), Heather Penico (soccer) and David Reynolds (baseball) complete the competitive-ballot selections. Layne Miller, a former Demon baseball player whose constant support has endeared him to generations of student-athletes and coaches, was named the Distinguished Service Award honoree.
Fillinich, a South Lafourche product, competed from 2004-09, earning four All-American honors in his signature event, the javelin. He added a runner-up finish at the USA Juniors competition and represented Team USA at the Junior Pan-Am Games. Among his All-American honors were two first-team finishes, including a No. 4 finish at the NCAA Outdoors. At the end of his career, he was the second four-time All-American male javelin thrower in the NCAA.
All three Demon basketball players made their marks on NCAA Tournament teams. Mitchell and Wallace were key pieces of two straight Southland Conference regular-season championship squads.
Hancock was chosen as a member of the “Fab 50” portion of the Northwestern All-Century Team, which honored the first 100 years of Demon basketball. A point guard from Kountze, Texas, Hancock earned a pair of Academic All-Southland Conference honors in his career. Known for his distribution skills at the point – he finished with 307 career assists, sixth in program history at the end of his career – Hancock sealed the Demons’ first NCAA Tournament victory by connecting on a final-minute, 3-pointer to defeat Winthrop.
Mitchell, a New Iberia native, etched his name in the school record book as the program’s all-time steals leader with 264 – a mark that still stands 20 years after his career concluded. Mitchell earned second-team All-Southland Conference and was part of the SLC All-Tournament Team in 2005-06 when the “Demons of Destiny” knocked off Mississippi State, Oklahoma State and Oregon State in the regular season before authoring one of the most remarkable NCAA Tournament buzzer beaters against third-seeded Iowa. A rock in the lineup, Mitchell, a member of the “Fab 50” portion of the Northwestern All-Century Team started 116 of his 120 career games and led the Southland in both steals and assists in 2004-05 as the Demons won the first of two consecutive Southland regular-season titles.
Wallce, a native of Heflin, began his career as the 2002-03 Southland Conference Freshman of the Year and capped it with the game-winning 3-pointer in the Demons’ 64-63 NCAA Tournament upset of Iowa on March 17, 2006. A two-time All-Southland Conference selection, Wallace still ranks 13th on the school’s all-time scoring list with 1,427 points. He averaged double-figure points in each of his first three seasons, topped by a 15.5 mark as a sophomore. A member of the “Fab 50” modern era roster of the Demons’ All-Century Team, Wallace’s 200 career 3-pointers stood as a school record for nearly a decade.
Just as Mitchell and Wallace shared a locker room and a Northwestern roster, so did football’s Johnese and Zeigler, who played together for three seasons from 2002-04.
Johnese came to Northwestern from Baton Rouge and departed as the program’s top scorer (212 points) with his mark still standing as the most points by a non-kicker. His 34 career touchdowns also top the program’s career list while his 3,085 rushing yards remain fourth despite sharing time in the backfield. His 3,371 all-purpose yards remain ninth in school history. A two-time, first-team All-Southland selection, Johnese was the 2004 Southland Conference Offensive Player of the Year while helping the Demons reach the 2002 and 2004 FCS Playoffs. A Top 100 Demon Football Players of All-Time member, Johnese’s 14 rushing touchdowns in 2002 still stands second in school history while his 1,153 rushing yards in 2004 is fifth in the program record book.
Zeigler, a Monroe native, was a versatile weapon who could torch defenses and cut up special teams coverage units. A two-time All-Southland return specialist, Zeigler capped his career as the Southland, state and school record-holder in career punt return average (12.5 on 108 career returns). That mark also ranked second in FCS history. The Demons’ all-time all-purpose yardage record holder (4,943), Zeigler also matched the then-career reception record with 99. A member of the Top 100 Demon Football Players of All-Time, Zeigler played in the Canadian Football League for Edmonton in 2006.
Crow gives the Demon football contingent another record holder in the N-Club Hall of Fame. Crow’s career marks of 276 punts and 11,028 punt yardage remain school records. Crow earned first-team All-Gulf Star Conference and All-Louisiana honors as a junior in 1985 when Northwestern led the FCS in net punting average at 40.4 yards. In addition to his career marks, Crow owns single-season school records of 74 punts (1984) and 2,929 yards (1985). In addition to his punting prowess, Crow’s career included an 86-yard touchdown pass to John Stephens on a fake punt that helped beat McNeese.
McNutt and Glenn did not cross paths in Natchitoches, but they each left an indelible mark on the Lady Demon softball program.
McNutt led the program to its first two NCAA Tournament appearances (1998, 2000) as part of a three-year run of Southland Conference titles from 1998-2000. In those three seasons, McNutt led Northwestern to a 112-55 mark, a .671 winning percentage. The 1998 season, in which Northwestern went 40-18 and 23-3 in Southland play, snapped a skid of five straight losing seasons. Her 161 career victories are third in program history.
Glenn was a two-way standout whose name peppers the school record book as both a hitter and a pitcher. In the circle, Glenn posted two of the top-four strikeout seasons in school history, fanning 236 batters in 2006 (3rd) and another 2016 in 2007 (4th). Glenn ranks second all-time in career strikeouts with 568 and is third in innings pitched with 560. A two-time first-team All-Louisiana selection who added two third-team All-Southland honors, Glenn set a still-standing school record for walks drawn (39) in 2007 and left as the career walks leader (99), holding the record for nearly a decade. A power hitter who slugged 29 career home runs, Glenn’s 125 RBIs remain fourth in program career history.
Penico was a pivotal piece of the success the Northwestern soccer program enjoyed in the early 2000s. The 2005 Southland Conference Player of the Year, Penico lead the Lady Demons to a Southland Conference Tournament crown and an NCAA Tournament appearance. The 2002 SLC Freshman of the Year as NSU grabbed an SLC Tournament championship was a two-time All-Southland and two-time All-Louisiana selection during her career, which saw her score 21 goals and finish with 53 points in 78 games.
Like Penico, Bennett was a key piece of an NCAA Tournament program. The 2003-04 Southland Conference Scholar-Athlete of the Year, Bennett was an All-Southland Tournament selection in 2004 as the Lady Demons swept the regular-season and tournament titles, advancing to the NCAA Tournament. A first-team All-Southland pick in 2003-04, Bennett earned second-team All-SLC honors the next season. A two-time Academic All-District and Academic All-Southland pick, Bennett finished her career with 1,163 points, which still ranks 26th in program history, and sank 177 3-pointers, now eighth in school history.
Reynolds started three seasons at shortstop for the Demon baseball team, earning All-TransAmerica Athletic Conference and All-Louisiana honors as a freshman when he hit .274 with six home runs and 34 RBIs. Reynolds was a 22nd-round draft pick of the Chicago White Sox. Reynolds shifted primarily to the mound in the pros, going 36-28 with 22 saves in his minor league career, reaching as high as Double-A.
The 2025 Distinguished Service Award winner, Miller briefly played one season of baseball at Northwestern. His daughter, Lauren, played softball at NSU. Miller has served as a board member for the Demon Booster Club/NSU Athletic Association/Demons Unlimited Foundation and has served as chef for innumerable team meals and tailgate feasts. A native of Mongomery, Miller has helped establish relationships with coaches and administrators that has allowed them to develop support systems that have been vital to their success.

2025-10-03 15:00 - 16:00 | Alost Hall, 160 Sam Sibley Drive, Natchitoches, LA, 71497, United States
Northwestern State University will hold a ribbon-cutting for Dr. Robert Alost Hall, the university’s state-of-the-art academic hub that opened this semester. The ceremony will take place at 3 p.m. Friday, Oct. 3 in conjunction with the university’s Homecoming festivities.
“This building represents the promise of Northwestern State University,” said NSU President James T. Genovese. “Dr. Robert Alost Hall stands as a commitment to academic excellence, innovation and service to Louisiana. As we open its doors, we honor Dr. Alost’s legacy and look ahead to the students who will prepare here to lead in classrooms, hospitals, businesses, and communities across our state and beyond.”
Alost was president of Northwestern State from 1986-1996 and is credited with initiating substantial progress in academic achievement, athletic success and facility enhancements during his administration.
Construction on the $45 million Alost project began in March 2023. Looming over Sam Sibley Drive in the heart of campus, the 73,200-square-foot Alost Hall features large multipurpose classrooms that can open into one larger multi-functional area, simulation laboratories for graduate and undergraduate nursing and anesthesia programs, a social work/psychology clinic and training area, a café, a dozen 30-person classrooms, two 40-person classrooms and three 50-person classrooms. The building houses 60 faculty offices and an administrative suite for deans, department heads and administrative assistants, a large conference room and reception area. There are seating areas inside and outside the building for students between classes.
Alost Hall is located at 160 Sam Sibley Drive, the former site of Caddo Hall, a 1960s residential facility that was razed in preparation for the new building. Alost Hall replaces John S. Kyser Hall, constructed in 1968, as the university’s main academic building.
Parking for the ribbon-cutting will be available at the adjacent commuter parking lot.
