Massie takes over SEAC
Edward Waters head football coach
Lamonte Massie has been named commissioner of the
South East Atlantic Conference (SEAC). Massie succeeds
Ron Shafer who recently resigned as Webber
International football coach after leading the Warriors to a
conference championship. Shafer had served as commissioner
since the conference started play in 2004.
"He worked diligently to get us in the position we are now," Massie said. "We are poised and in the ready position for great future opportunities from Shafer's great work."
Massie has some experience running a football league having served as commissioner of the semi-pro Carolinas Football League in 1999. A native of Syracuse, N.Y. and a 1991 graduate of Tuskegee University, Massie, 38, has been head coach since football returned to EWC in 2001.
"I anticipate great growth for our conference," Massie said. "We are currently seeking the fifth and sixth members of the conference so we can ensure that our conference champion is in the [NAIA] playoffs."
The SEAC currently has four members: Allen University, Edward Waters College, Concordia College and Webber International University.
Stillman's Danzy reassigned
Theophilus Danzy, the head football coach
at Stillman College, will be reassigned within the
Athletic Department for the duration of his contract
period. He was named head football coach at Stillman
during the fall of 1998. During his seven-year tenure at
Stillman he has recorded a 40-27 record. Danzy finished
the 2005 season with a 6-4 record and has posted
six consecutive non-losing seasons.
Danzy's Tigers posted a better than expected 4-5 record in the inaugural season. He followed the 1999 season with 6-3 records in 2000 and 2001. In 2002 Danzy led Stillman to an 8-2 record. Stillman finished the 2002 and 2003 season with 5-5 records.
"He did a tremendous job for Stillman working to reinstate football as a major sport and recruiting the first team in 1999," said Dr. Curtis Williams, Stillman's director of athletics. "Danzy's commitment to the rebuilding process was a major influence in bringing some top football talent to the program during the first couple of years."
"I did the job that I was asked to do as the head football coach at Stillman. Time engulfs us all and I guess my time is at its end at Stillman College," stated Danzy. "I certainly feel good about the work that I did and I'll let that speak for me as I look to the future."
In his new position Danzy will serve as a consultant to the athletics director and will work on developing the components needed to bring golf to the college as an intercollegiate sport. All football operational activities will be handled through the athletics director until an appointment is made.
