2005 Hall of Fame Inductee - Hubert Boales

Boales served as a McNeese coach, either as an assistant or head coach, from 1966 to 1993, and he was regarded as one of the top recruiters in Cowboy history. The native Texan had joined the Cowboys as a member of Jim Clark's football staff in 1966 and he also assumed the head coaching duties in baseball in 1968. He served two stints as head coach of the golf team, 1978 to 1981 and 1989 to 1993. And, he was also head coach in football in 1992.

As a Cowboy assistant football coach he recruited some of the top talent to ever play for the Pokes, including this year's Hall of Fame inductee Shankle. Among the other players Boales brought to McNeese were all-Americans and Hall of Famers Larry Grissom and Charlie Powell, all-Americans Larry Rawlinson and Glen Koch and numerous players who earned all-conference honors.

During the 25 seasons he served on the football staff, the Cowboys won five conference titles and played in four bowl games.

In Boales' 10 seasons as head baseball coach, his teams finished in the upper division of the Southland Conference and Gulf States Conference standings seven times and compiled a 190-197-4 won-lost record, the victories the second most for a coach in McNeese history.

Among the players he coached were all-conference selections Gerald Andrus, Coco Rossitto, Tom Crawford, Allan Ladd, Dick Morris, Phillip Smith, Neal Spencer, Nathan Fontenot, Bill Simon, Paul Young, Russell Conner and Keith Guthrie.

His golf teams, which featured Hall of Famer Tim Graham among other standouts, won two conference championships, finished second once and he was named the league's coach of the year twice.
