2007 GPAC Football Season
Kicks Off September 1
A NAIA National Champion, three teams in the playoffs, a Victory Sports Network (VSN)-NAIA Player-of-the-Year and AFCA-NAIA Coachof-the-Year, and numerous teams with their best season in recent years; certainly 2006 was a banner year for GPAC football and 2007
promises to be just as exciting, and the season is just around the corner.
The University of Sioux Falls claimed the GPAC Championship in 2006 with a perfect 10-0 conference record. The Cougars then went
on to win the NAIA National Football Championship with an overall 14-0 record. USF won their second NAIA National Title and first since
1996. Sioux Falls, Northwestern, and Morningside all advanced into the NAIA Football Playoff Series with the Red Raiders and Mustangs
both winning their first round games. Sioux Falls’ quarterback Chad Cavender was named the Victory Sports Network Offensive Player-ofthe-Year, while his coach, Kalen De Boer, was named the AFCA NAIA Coach-of-the-Year.
The 2007 GPAC football season will begin on September 1 and once again consist of 10 league games over 11 weeks. Briar Cliff, Dana
and Hastings have scheduled non-conference games for this year. Briar Cliff will host Bethany of Kansas on September 15 in Sioux City,
Iowa. Dana will travel to Waldorf on September 29 in Forest City, Iowa. Meanwhile Hastings will open their season on September 1 at home
against Dakota State in Hastings, Nebraska.
Dordt College will officially begin football this fall with a club team. The Defenders will begin varsity play next fall. Dordt has a seven game
club schedule set for this fall.

Briar Cliff Preview
Concordia Preview
By: Jared Bodammer
By: Lucas Mohrman
A year ago, Briar Cliff head coach Dick Strittmatter guided the
Charger Football Program to the most wins in school history,
finishing at 5-6. The team fashioned a record of 3-2 at home,
winning their first-ever overtime contest, 13-6 over Dakota
Wesleyan, Sept. 9. In the off-season, position coaches Beau
Livingston and Chris Rooney were promoted to defensive and
offensive coordinators, respectively.
The Concordia University, Nebraska football team enters the 2007
season determined to improve upon their 2-7 record from 2006.
This year’s 90-plus member squad opens the season with a night
game at Concordia, Sept. 1. Home contests include match-ups
against Hastings (Sept. 8), Bethany (Sept. 15), Midland Lutheran
(Sept. 29), Morningside (Oct. 13), Nebraska Wesleyan (Oct. 27) and
Sioux Falls (Nov. 10). The team returns the majority of its offensive
weapons and is deep at o-line. The squad is, however, without six
starters on the defensive side of the ball, including first team allconference Josh Schaffert, the league’s leading tackler.
A year ago, Schaffert and then-freshman punter Kane Kuehl
became the program’s first players to land on the all-conference’s
first team. While Kuehl had a breakout freshman campaign, the
Chargers hope to use him a little less in 2007, meaning more
success on third downs. The Chargers return Kuehl, as well as
2006 honorable mention all-GPAC selections in junior wideout Luke
Roder (36 receptions, 648 yards, 9 touchdowns), senior tailback
Adam Robards (114 carries, 496 yards, 4 touchdowns), junior
linebacker Jarrod Makovicka (52.5 tackles) and senior defensive
end Chris Barber (39 tackles).
The Bulldog offense returns starters at nearly every position,
including All-GPAC running back, senior JaMaine Lewis. Lewis will
run behind a veteran offensive line. In addition to Lewis, the Bulldogs
also have Jeff Neujahr returning. Neujahr, a senior, wore many hats
for Concordia last season, serving as a wide receiver, running back
and return specialist. His explosive ability on kick returns earned
him recognition in the conference. He returned three kicks for
touchdowns (2 kickoffs, 1 punt), tops in the GPAC. His average of
31.4 yards on kickoffs, led the GPAC and ranked third in the nation.
On the other side of the ball, Vance Winter takes over as defensive
coordinator and will benefit a deep defensive line that includes Matt
Baller, Brock Simomsen and Kyle Rust. In the secondary, senior
Brett Mertens makes the switch back to defense after playing QB
for a year. He was one of the Bulldogs top tacklers two years ago.
Head coach Courtney Meyer remains the longest tenured of any
coach in the GPAC, entering his 18th year at the helm.
2007 gpac varsity football previews
Dakota Wesleyan Preview
Doane Preview
By: Alex Linden
By: Rick Schmuecker
Dakota Wesleyan improved its win total by three games last season
finishing 4-6, and the Tigers hope to continue their rise in head
coach Brad Pole’s third season. The Tigers will have a new look
this season as Pole switches to offensive coordinator after guiding
the defense the past two seasons. DWU brought in over 40 new
recruits including several players who will battle for starting spots
this fall.
The Doane College football team will start the season with their
third coach in four years, but it is evident that Head Coach Matt
Franzen is off to a good start in turning the Tigers fortunes around.
This past off-season Franzen added 50-plus recruits and should be
around 80-90 players when camp opens.
Sophomore quarterback Jon Doom returns after throwing for
nearly 1,400 yards as a freshman. Former high school teammate
Bubba Slaba was the big play receiver as a freshman in 2006
and figures to be Doom’s go-to-guy this year. Three sophomore
starters are back on the offensive line after starting as true
freshman. Defensively, All-GPAC linebackers Chris Sheckler
and Daniel Wysong and junior outside linebacker Ryan Deibert
will be the strength of the Tiger defense. DWU must fill all three
starting spots on the defensive line, and the Tigers have to find
replacements for three graduated seniors in the secondary.
Dana Preview
By: Shad Beam
Coming off their first winning season since 1995, the Dana Vikings
are looking to maintain the momentum they built last year. Dana
football finished the 2006 season 6-5 overall with a fifth place in the
GPAC. This is the highest finish for Dana football since the GPAC
was formed in 2000.
Junior quarterback Marcus Sladek (Omaha, Neb.) returns to lead
the passing attack. Sladek, a three-year starter, passed for 1577
yards and 11 touchdowns in 2006. The top returning receiver is
senior captain B.J. Fields (Omaha, Neb.) who pulled in 23 passes
for 193 yards last season.
The offensive line returns all of its top players from a year ago,
including second-team All-GPAC Clayton Timm (Council Bluffs,
Iowa). Maturity and good leadership are key to the defense as well.
Senior captain Terrance Mclean (San Antonio, Texas) will be looked
to for leadership. Mclean led the Vikings with 5.5 sacks a year ago.
Greg Wilmes (Creighton, Neb.) and Kyle Peterson (Blair, Neb.) will
be looked to as leaders in the linebacker spots. Trevor Ketelsen
(Bloomfield, Neb.) will lead the secondary along with Brandon Terry
(Omaha, Neb.).
Coach Danenhauer expects newcomers Jake Harral (Omaha,
Neb.), Mark Schlueter (Omaha, Neb.) and Otis Seals (Omaha,
Neb.) to make a youthful impact on his veteran squad. Also look
for senior All-American wrestler Terrence Almond (Pelham, Ga.) to
make his collegiate football debut at the halfback spot.
There are several question marks on the offensive side of the
ball. The quarterback battle that has been going on for the
previous two seasons will continue but this time around there
are only two competing for the job: JR Artozqui and Bryan
Dutcher. The offensive line will see at least three new faces, likely
freshman, which will join sophomore returners Jake Ryba and
Zane Pfefferle. The running back position is wide open with the
graduation of two-time All-GPAC performer Justin Nelson and
back-up Alex Renshaw. D’Artagnan Dai’Re is the top returner
and is coming off a strong track & field season in which he
earned three All-American honors but several freshman will also
compete for the job.
The defense will be coached by Doane graduate Chris Bessler. He
will rely on linebacker Dustin Lind to lead the way. The defensive
line will be young but the return of Centennial H.S. grads Seth
Styskal and Seth Blake will help the defensive front. Alvin Yates will
lead the defensive back field.
Hastings Preview
By: Pat McCauley
The 2007 Broncos enter the season looking to improve upon their
4-6 record in 2006 when they open camp on August 13th. Head
Coach Paul Mierkiewicz will rely on 14 returning starters as well
as a solid recruiting class for the 2007 campaign. Offensively, the
Broncos will look for improvement at quarterback. Newcomer
Dayton Edwards will compete with junior Jordan Reed for the
starting spot. Top offensive returners include junior RB Dan
Bargen, senior offensive linemen Brandon Jacobitz and Evan
Klanecky and sophomore receiver Maurice Mansfield. On
defense, the Broncos have a wealth of experience at linebacker
and some holes to fill at defensive line. Junior Brian Trader made
a successful switch from linebacker to defensive end in the spring.
The Broncos will also look to sophomore linebacker Mackenzie
Hemje and senior defensive back Matt Hilderbrand to anchor the
defense.
2007 gpac varsity football Midland Lutheran Preview
By: Rich Ray
The Midland Lutheran College football team is executing a new
formula for success. With the naming of Steve Schneider and
Casey Thiele as Co-Head Coaches, the Warriors will be voyaging
into territory not seen at Midland Lutheran College before. With the
addition of sixty new recruits to the Warrior staff, the Warriors will
spend much of the pre-season building the proper chemistry for
a very successful 2007. Dustin Lindstrom returns at running back
for his senior season, and is looking forward to an injury-free year,
to propel him to his All-Conference form of two years ago. Brian
Hanson will lead the defense that is a year older and much more
experienced for the tough GPAC schedule.
Morningside Preview
By: Dave Rebstock
With 14 returning starters, including eight on defense, the Mustangs
expect to challenge for a fourth consecutive NAIA National
Playoff berth. Morningside has a 29-7 record for a .806 winning
percentage over the past three seasons to make it the winningest
college football program in Iowa in terms of total victories and
percentage. Morningside returns its entire starting defensive unit
aside from the linebacking corp, where it must replace three of
its four starters. The defensive leader is first-team All-America
defensive back Chad Hustedt, the Mustangs’ leading tackler
each of the past two seasons. Hustedt and defensive lineman
James Mowrey were both first-team All-GPAC selections in
2006. Offensively the Mustangs return the three-headed running
back tandem of Nick Reigle, Pete Lewis, and Tyler Childress,
who combined to rush for 1,484 yards and 16 touchdowns, and
starting quarterback Tim Richard, who threw for 1,971 yards and 13
touchdowns as a freshman.
Nebraska Wesleyan Preview
By: Karl Skinner
In 2006, Nebraska Wesleyan’s football team had one of its best
records in recent years, finishing 7-3 under Head Coach Brian
Keller, who surpassed Harold Chaffee to become the winningest
football coach in NWU history. In 2007, Keller enters his 12th
season at the helm hoping the Prairie Wolves can make it back to
the NAIA Playoffs for the first time since 2000. The team returns
four full-time starters on offense including two-year starter Zac
Rabe at quarterback and Justin Florian, the team’s top receiver,
who were both All-GPAC honorable mentions last season. The
offensive line returns three players with starting experience in tackle
Dan Peterson, guard Cody Smith and center Chea Taylor.
The Prairie Wolves look even stronger on defense, returning
all three starters up front, including seniors Brandon Minch and
David Hellman and junior James Dorcey. Minch made All-GPAC
previews
Second Team, while Dorcey received honorable mention in 2006.
Kyle Elsasser and Ryan Kelly ranked first and third, respectively,
in tackles last year from their linebacker positions. Elsasser made
All-GPAC honorable mention and ESPN the Magazine Academic
All-America First Team. In the defensive secondary, the Prairie
Wolves return junior Phil Schroer, who led the NAIA in interceptions
and tied the GPAC single-season record with nine picks as a
sophomore. Schroer also won or shared Defensive Player of
the Week honors three times in 2006. On special teams, senior
punter Blake Smith and kick returner Brandon Taute are back. This
season, the Prairie Wolves bring in 52 newcomers, including seven
from the state of Colorado.
Northwestern Preview
By: Matt Bos
Head Coach Orv Otten’s squad has some key holes to fill in their
two-deep lineup, including four-time NAIA All-American and 2006
GPAC Player-of-the-Year, Austin Janssen. However, the Red
Raider cupboard is not bare as they return a core group of 25 letter
winners and one of the largest and most talented recruiting classes
in recent years.
Offensively, NWC returns six starters from a 2006 squad which
averaged 36.8 points per game, the highest in over nine years. One
of the keys to this seasons’ success will be replacing Keith Sietstra.
The graduated senior finished second in career yards (4,498) and
touchdowns (51) and earned all-conference four consecutive years.
A staple of Red Raiders teams in recent years has been the
play of their defense, and in 2006, it was no exception. The “Big
Red D” gave up just 11.4 points per contest, ranked third in total
defense and scored eight touchdowns. Coach Otten and his staff
will have to replace not only Austin Janssen but first team allconference performers, Jordan Van Otterloo and Tim Martin. The
Red Raiders, however, return five starters and will look to several
talented newcomers to fill in the gaps.
Sioux Falls Preview
By: Chris Weeden
The University of Sioux Falls comes into the season ranked No. 1
in the country according to the Victory Sports Network Coaches’
Poll after winning the second national championship in school
history last December. The Cougars return last year’s VSN-NAIA
Offensive Player- of-the-Year, senior Chad Cavender, who threw
for 3,674 yards and 38 touchdowns in his first season as the starter
under center. Cavender will be without four-time NAIA All-American
selections Dusty Hovorka (WR) and Mike Dvoracek (RB), but
multiple weapons still remain for a team that has won five of the
seven GPAC titles. The defense loses its sack and tackle leader
in linebacker Adam Paulson, but the group figures to remain as
dominant as it has been in the past. Last year Cougar defense set
the GPAC Scoring Defense Record allowing 7.3 points per game.
