THIS IS COYOTE ATHLETICS Since 2005, the Kansas Wesleyan Coyotes have become one of the dominant forces in the Kansas Collegiate Athletic Conference, and have made their name known at the national level as well. In the last four years, KWU has won an unprecedented 25 KCAC Championship and NAIA Regional Championship trophies. For the last three years, Wesleyan has had the best combined record out of all ten KCAC schools in the eight major sports sponsored by the conference (football, volleyball, men’s soccer, women’s soccer, men’s basketball, women’s basketball, baseball and softball). In 2006-07, The Coyotes finished the year with a 154-83-1 (.650 win pct.) overall record and were 90-29 (.756 win pct.) in conference play, five wins better than any other team in the league. Wesleyan won eight KCAC titles in 2006-07. The 2006-07 Men’s Basketball team became the first Wesleyan squad to earn a berth in the NAIA Division II National Tournament in school history and was the first team to earn a berth to any NAIA Men’s Basketball Tournament since 1950, when the Coyotes won the KCAC Tournament with a thrilling 56-55 win over Friends. Wesleyan continued on to beat Bluefield (Va.) in the first round before falling to Northwestern (Iowa) in the second round. In 2007-08, Wesleyan racked up six more conference titles while completing the season with a 146-87-3 (.627 win pct.) overall record and an 87-33-1 (.725 win pct.) record in conference play. The Women’s Soccer team made history when it became the first-ever women’s team in conference history to make the NAIA Women’s Soccer National Tournament as the Coyotes defeated Park (Mo.) in the regional final in early November. The Coyote Volleyball team also made history for the conference as they became the first team to advance past the first round of the regional volleyball tournament. 2008-09 was another banner year for the Coyotes. Wesleyan added another seven trophies to the collection, while finishing the year with a conference best 86-35 (.711 win pct.) record in conference play, winning the conference race by an impressive 11 games. The Coyotes were also 145-105-2 (.580 win pct.) overall, the best in the conference for a third straight year. The Coyotes’ seven titles came in Women’s Soccer (third straight), Women’s Soccer Tournament (fourth straight), Men’s Soccer, Women’s Basketball, Women’s Basketball Tournament, Baseball and Baseball Tournament. Women’s Soccer made its second straight appearance in the NAIA National Tournament, taking on McKendree (Ill.) in the Tournament Opening Round. The Women’s Basketball team made history for the program in 2008-09, winning its first conference title since 1988 and its first ever KCAC Tournament title in a 70-61 win over Sterling in the Tournament Championship in Sterling. The Coyotes then rocketed to a best ever No.9 ranking in the final NAIA Top 25 poll and received a No.2 in its section of the NAIA National Championship bracket. KWU went 1-1 in the tournament, winning over Aquinas (Mich.), before falling to Black Hills State (S.D.) in the Second Round. The team set 19 new school records during the year, and Kaylaen Dittmer was named the KCAC Player of the Year, and coach Gordon Reimer earned KCAC Coach of the Year honors and also went on to earn Kansas Women’s College Coach of the Year honors from the Kansas Basketball Coaches’ Association. The KWU Baseball team made school history as well, winning its second straight Regular Season title and a second KCAC Tournament title in the last three years. The Coyotes also set a new school record for wins in a season with 40, which included an unprecedented 26-game winning streak. The baseball team advanced to the Championship Series of the Opening Round of the NAIA World Series in St. Charles, Mo., before falling to Campbellsville University. Coach Dave Dawson was named KCAC Coach of the Year for the third time in his four seasons leading KWU Baseball, Brandon Mathes was named KCAC Player of the Year for a second straight year and Mike Pettibone earned the Rawlings NAIA Gold Glove at Third Base.

2009 FOOTBALL SEASON OUTLOOK Kansas Wesleyan University Football Season Outlook For someone on the outside looking in, the 2009 edition of the Kansas Wesleyan Coyote Football team may be more of a rebuilding project than anything else. Wesleyan lost a majority of the starting lineup on the offensive side, including five of six starters at the skill positions, and two offensive linemen. Things do look better on the defensive side of the ball, as the Coyotes only lost a pair of linemen, a linebacker and one in the defensive backfield. Despite the loss of talent on both sides of the ball, Head Coach Dave Dallas isn’t concerned about the upcoming campaign, which opens September 12 at home against Tabor College. “Our staff has done a great job of recruiting and with a strong nucleus of returners, and the
10
group of recruits coming in, we have a chance to be pretty good in 2009,” Dallas said. “We lost some key players, but I think we did an exceptional job of bringing in some guys that can play.” Approximately 115 student-athletes will report to camp in late August, with 44 of them being freshmen. Dallas isn’t concerned about that fact. “Our freshman class is going to be really good,” he said. “It’s going to help with our specials teams with our depth on both sides of the ball with the younger players. They will make us a better football team.” As long as the Coyotes can come together as a unit, things could turn out very well in 2009. “Overall we have to be able to come together and gel as both an offensive unit and a
defensive unit,” Dallas said. “Offensively we have to come together and get the ball in the guys’ hands and let them perform.”
THE OFFENSE The biggest changes are on the offensive side of the ball, but a strong group of younger players mixed in with a good set of recruits, both from the high school and junior college levels will fill the voids. However the changes are not just on the field, but also on the offensive staff. Former Offensive Coordinator William Wille stepped down after 12 seasons with the Coyotes, opening the door for Ryan Mills, who served as Passing Game Coordinator in 2008 to move into the position. Dallas is pleased with the changes on the offensive side of the ball, and it should make for an exciting brand of football this season. “I think our new staff has done a great job of bringing in a renewed energy on the offensive side of the ball, and I like that,” Dallas said. “I like what we did this spring in our changes in our offense as far as what we are going to do, and I felt good about the direction we want to go and need to go.” Dallas feels that the strongest group of returners is in the offensive line, with three players coming back in CollegeFanz Honorable Mention All-American Schuyler Wilson (6-2, 290, Sr., Shasta Lake, Calif. / Shasta College (Calif.)), Sean Junkins (6-4, 320, Jr., Malibu, Calif. / El Camino College (Calif.)) and Kyle Barthel (5-10, 230, Sr., Redding, Calif. / Shasta College (Calif.)). The Coyotes will also look to a couple of younger players who saw playing time last year to contribute again this year on the offensive line in Zach Brown (6-3, 325, So., Fort Worth, Texas / Arlington-Lamar HS), Will Slasor (6-3, 280, Jr., San Antonio, Texas / Taft HS) and Travis White (6-5, 280, So., Richardson, Texas / J.J. Pearce HS). “Schuyler (Wilson) and (Sean) Junkins are our main returning guys, but there’s also (Kyle) Barthel and (Will) Slasor who played a lot last year, “Dallas said. “Also Zach Brown, who started five games as a freshman for us in 2007. Those are all key returning guys for us up front.” Newcomers will also be key for the Coyotes up front, and Dallas feels that a group of players that came in at the semester break last year, coupled with some spring additions will be key. Cody Ramirez (6-4, 320, Jr., Marysville, Calif. / Yuba College (Calif.) and Jeremy Smith (6-5, 350, Jr., Corona, Calif. / Riverside College (Calif.)) are two players that should fit into the mix somewhere in 2009. Dallas said the offensive line is loaded with exceptional talent, but that one thing will make them stand out in 2009. “I feel real good about
COYOTE ATHLETICS
2009 FOOTBALL SEASON OUTLOOK the potential we have up front,” he said. “It’s just a matter of getting that group to gel together as a cohesive group.” Three players who return at tight end from last season will split time in 2009. Eric Thrush (6-5, 250, Sr., Janesville, Calif. / Shasta College (Calif.)), Matt Panke (6-3, 210, So., Flower Mound, Texas / Flower Mound HS) and Dan Reynolds (6-3, 250, Sr., Sacramento, Calif. / American River College (Calif.)) all return from 2008. Thrush caught nine balls for 102 yards and two touchdowns last season. “Thrush started almost every game last year for us, and Panke is a very talented young football player,” Dallas said. “What is also nice is that all three of those guys are a different style of player, which is beneficial to us.” Dallas also sees freshman Logan Glover (64, 225, Lewisville, Texas / Temple Christian Academy) with the potential to fit into the mix at the tight end position. With the losses of Marcus Lowe and Jason Dolan to graduation at the wide receiver position, it leaves the door wide open in 2009. Aaron Miller (6-2, 180, Sr., Deerfield, Kan. / Garden City CC (Kan.)) is the lone returner from last year’s team, catching five balls for 62 yards last year. Outside of Miller, the receiver corps will be all-new in 2009, but Dallas feels the group coming in will fit in nicely. “We had several guys here this spring that got a chance to learn the system, which was a positive in itself,” Dallas said. “They were able to go out and do 7-on-7 by themselves and things like that and I think that’s a big plus.” Corey Ham (5-9, 160, Jr., Redlands, Calif. / Riverside College (Calif.)), Anthony Roma (6-3, 195, Jr., Mira Loma, Calif. / Chaffey College (Calif.)), William Hall (6-0, 200, Jr., Tallahassee, Fla. / Feather River College (Calif.)) Jermaine Stovall (5-9, 190, Fr., Fort Worth, Texas / Tyler Junior College (Texas)) and Troy Alsobrook (5-8, 160, Jr., Riverside, Calif. / Mt. San Jacinto College (Calif.)) all were with the Coyotes for the spring semester and looked good in the spring practice sessions, which concluded with the spring scrimmage. “We threw the ball effectively during the spring game,” Dallas said. “I was extremely pleased at this groups’ development for us throughout the spring.” A pair of newcomers who are expected to push for spots are Anthony Berry (6-0, 190, Jr., Tarzana, Calif. / University of South Dakota) and Jason Engelberg (5-8, 170, So., Newhall, Calif. / College of the Canyons (Calif.)).
COYOTE ATHLETICS
“Both Anthony and Jason will add to our receiving corps, and we have a very talented group of young players that will have an impact for us as well, led by Brett Giesen,” Dallas said.
(6-3, 210, Jr., Browns Valley, Calif. / Yuba College (Calif.)). Uhland was a two-year starter at Yuba, was ranked 11th in the California State in passing yards.
Dallas is very excited about the prospects of Giesen (5-11, 175, Fr., Laguna Niguel, Calif. / Dana Hills HS) for the upcoming season, comparing him to former Wesleyan player Steven Valliere. Giesen played tailback primarily in high school, but will move to slot for the Coyotes in 2009.
“It’s a three way battle at this time with Johnny Park, Doug Webster and Fielding Uhland,” Dallas said. “And then we have two very good freshmen that will fit into the mix.”
“Giesen played in the Southern California High School All-Star game and rushed for over 100 yards and two touchdowns,” Dallas said. “He’s a legit player coming in for us. He’s a lot like Steve (Valliere). That type of player, just with a little bit more quickness to him.” The tailback position is also wide open with the departure of two-time All-KCAC performer Preston McCorkle. However, a pair of returners in Dane McCoy (5-10, 220, Sr., Discovery Bay, Calif. / Los Medanos College (Calif.)) and Rodney Cooper (5-9, 190, So., Red Oak, Texas / Red Oak HS), who missed 2008 with injuries, will compete for a spot. Also looking to fit in will be Jake Winship (5-11, 225, Jr., Yuba City, Calif. / Yuba College (Calif.)), who was at Wesleyan last year, but redshirted the 2008 season. Dallas feels that Winship is another quality running back to come through the Kansas Wesleyan program, fitting the same model as Oscar Nero, Matt Leonard, Darell Grames and McCorkle. “We’ve been fortunate to have some great backs in our arsenal in the past years,” Dallas said. “And I think that Jake is just as good as or better than any of those top guys we have had. Rodney has a chance to be good for us, despite missing last year with an injury and Dane showed glimpses of what he can do for us last year and had an excellent spring.” At H-Back, Dallas feels that Brendan Eggleston (5-9, 215, Jr., Scott City, Kan. / Dodge City CC (Kan.)), who was at Wesleyan as a freshman, before transferring to Dodge City CC and then back to KWU, will fit into the mix in the Coyote backfield.
Tyndan Marquez (6-2, 205, Fr., Grenada, Colo. / Grenada HS) and Ryan Fluker (5-11, 210, Fr., Wichita, Kan. / Valley Center HS) have a chance to fit in and work through the system. “We didn’t come into spring ball looking to evaluate personnel,” Dallas said. “We were all there learning, and we didn’t have enough time to evaluate people, but I like our savvy, our competitiveness and our leadership during the spring. I think we are a real talented offensive unit and if we can put it all together, it’s going to be dangerous.”
THE DEFENSE Depth is a recurring theme on the defensive side of the ball in 2009. The Coyotes return eight full-time starters from 2008, and have made many key additions to fill those voids and shore up numbers at the other positions. The defensive line lost a couple players in Scott Moore and Andrew Panigada, but returning starters Charles Starling (6-2, 290, Sr., Easton, Texas / Navarro JC (Texas)) and T.J. DiPrima (6-1, 250, Sr., Palmdale, Calif. / California Lutheran) will anchor the line. Also look for returners Joe LaLone (5-11, 290, Sr., Poway, Calif. / San Diego Mesa College (Calif.)), Gary Hemmy (6-3, 210, Jr., Salina, Kan. / Southeast of Saline HS), Jacob Hamblett (5-9, 250, Jr., Gardner, Kan. / GardnerEdgerton HS), Patrick Shelton (6-3, 220, Sr., Palm Harbor, Fla. / Palm Harbor University HS) and Spencer Popple (5-10, 210, So., Junction City, Kan. / Junction City HS) will fit into the mix. “All those guys returning will be good up front for us,” Dallas said. “They have all improved over the spring and summer, and will be good for us.”
In addition to the strong set of returners, the Coyotes have brought in several key players who will fit into the mix in Andrew Misipeka The quarterback position will be wide open (6-1, 340, Jr., Temecula, Calif. / Mt. San Jacinto with the loss of Drew Dallas to graduation, College (Calif.)), Chris Ramos (6-3, 280, Jr., but three players will be in the mix to fight for Claremont, Calif. / Chaffey College (Calif.)), the starting position. All three were in spring Billy Butler (6-1, 240, Jr., Paola, Kan. / Highland workouts, which was an added benefit for CC (Kan.)), James Walbridge (6-2, 235, Jr., them. Returner Johnny Park (6-1, 185, So., San Redwood City, Calif. / DeAnza College (Calif.)) Antonio, Texas / Antonian College Prep HS), who and Dominick Waters (6-2, 240, Jr., Bullhead City, backed up Dallas last season will be competing Ariz. / Mt.

McKeon was ranked 2nd in the NAIA. Other returners was a perfect 6-for-6 on field goals in 2008, and include Richard Raught (6-1, 190, Sr., Palmdale, missed only one extra point (41/42) all season Calif. / Paraclete HS), Corey Tate (5-11, 170, Jr., long. He also handled the kickoff and punting Nimitz HS), Joachim (J.R.)

The linebacker corps remains virtually unchanged from the 2008 season, with the loss of only one starter from the beginning of the year. Returning for the Coyotes will be Vicente Arellano (5-11, 220, Sr., Pittsburg, Calif. / Los Medanos College (Calif.)), Kane Kaualoku (5-11, 200, So., Richardson, Texas / J.J. Pearce HS) and Jason McWilliams (5-11, 190, Jr., Canton, Texas / Canton HS), who by the end of the year were the regular starting three. Austin Hoover (5-10, 190, Jr., Eudora, Kan. / Eudora HS) made great strides during the spring and will compete for a spot, as well as mid-year transfer Mike Marowitz (5-11, 210, Jr., Laguna Niguel, Calif. / Orange Coast College (Calif.)), and returner Adrian Thomas (5-10, 200, So., Diamond Bar, Calif. / Diamond Bar HS).
The Coyotes had to turn to linebacker Jason McWilliams to handle the duties last season in Shelton’s absence, but Dallas hopes that he won’t have to fill in this season as well. The return game is wide open, with several names being thrown in the mix to return both kickoffs and punts. A few returners that shared those duties last year include Corey Tate, Richard Raught and Dane McCoy. Dallas also feels that Jake Winship and Corey Ham also have a chance to fit into the return game. He also thinks that Anthony Berry and Jason Engelberg will compete for the punt return duties. “We have a lot of guys that could end up returning kicks for us,” Dallas said.
“Hoover had a great spring and Adrian Thomas got a lot of reps in the spring due to (Arellano)’s injury that made him a lot better,” Dallas said. “Kane started five games for us last year as a freshman, which was great for his development. We’ve got eight or nine guys at linebacker we can put out on the field at any time, which is great for us.” Dallas is pleased with the development of the defensive unit as a whole, and is also pleased with the amount of depth on that side of the ball.

Dave Dallas begins his 13th year at the helm of Kansas Wesleyan University Football, making him the longest continuously tenured football coach in the Kansas Conference. Since coming to Wesleyan to start the 1997 season, Dallas has racked up a 67-53 record with the Coyotes, good enough for third all-time in total coaching wins at KWU. Dallas’ overall coaching record is 109-88-1 in 20 years, 12 at KWU and eight at KCAC rival Ottawa University, where he was 42-35-1. Since coming to KWU, Dallas has captured two KCAC Championships in 2001 and 2002, and guided the Coyotes to their only two NAIA Post Season Championship berths in those same years. Dallas was named the 2001 KCAC Coach of the Year. During his tenure at Wesleyan, Dallas has coached six NAIA All-Americans, and over 200 All-KCAC players, including six KCAC Players of the Year. One of Dallas’ team goals is for the players to complete their degrees, and Dallas has coached 27 NAIA All-American Scholar Athletes since 1997 at KWU.
Dallas played his collegiate football at Missouri Western, and began his coaching career there as a graduate assistant for two seasons in 1983 and 1984. After finishing his degree at MWSU in 1984, Dallas spent one season at Truman State University (then Northeast Missouri State) in 1985, as the Bulldogs captured the MIAA title that season with an 8-3 overall record, and 5-0 in the MIAA. After taking a year off from the college ranks to coach at Rolla High School in Rolla, Mo., Dallas became defensive coordinator and recruiting coordinator at Graceland University in Lamoni, Iowa, for two seasons, before taking the head coaching job at Ottawa in 1989. Dallas took over the reigns of the Ottawa University program, and spent eight years at the leadership of the Braves, as they went 42-35-1 during his tenure. In 1997, Dallas took over a struggling Kansas Wesleyan program that had gone 4-26 the previous three years before his arrival. In just four years, in 2001, Wesleyan captured its first KCAC title since 1982, and made the school’s first ever NAIA Post-Season appearance. Dallas is active in the American Football Coaches Association, as he is President of the NAIA-FCA for the upcoming season. In January 2007, Dallas was selected to represent the NAIA on the National Athletic Testing System (NATS) Board of Review at the AFCA Convention in San Antonio, Texas. NATS is a non-profit AFCA program and is a nationwide standardized athletic performance test that produces results that can be used to track and compare the players’ athletic ability and development. In many respects NATS is an athletic version of the SAT (Scholastic Aptitude Test) for high school football players. Most importantly however, the NATS is a means of providing players, parents, coaches and school counselors important requirements, financial aid and athletic performance analysis and preparation. Dallas and his wife Kelly live in Salina, along with their four children Drew, Casey, Trey, and Molly.

Opponent at Bethel College vs. McPherson College at Southwestern Assemblies of God at Southwestern College vs. Ottawa University vs. Friends University at University of Saint Mary vs. Sterling College vs. Bethany College at Tabor College
Kansas Wesleyan University finished the 2008 season with a 6-4 overall record, and went 5-4 in Kansas Conference play, finishing in a tie for fourth place with Bethel College. Wesleyan opened the season in North Newton against the Bethel Threshers, and dropped the contest 17-6. After a first quarter that saw KWU move the ball well, outside of the two fumbles given up by senior tailback Preston McCorkle, the Wesleyan offense bogged down in the second quarter and most of the second half, unable to produce any points. Bethel, the then No.17 ranked team in the NAIA, also had problems moving the ball, especially in the red zone, where the Threshers had two chances with first and goals inside the KWU ten, but only came away with three points. The Coyotes imploded in the fourth quarter, both offensive and defensive. The Coyotes failed to move the ball effectively, and when they did, penalties negated the big plays. The Coyotes also gave up some costly penalties on defense as well. Six times Wesleyan was penalized for 85 yards in the fourth alone. Offensively, the Coyotes tallied 321 yards of offense, 116 rushing and 205 passing. The Coyotes were led on the ground by McCorkle with 20 carries for 69 yards, while Jeremy Washington added six for 27. Dallas was just 15-of-35 for 205 yards, with one touchdown and two interceptions. Dolan had five catches for 66 yards, while Valliere also had five grabs for 49 yards and Lowe added four catches for 77 yards. Bethel racked up 308 yards of offense led by Clow who was 14-of-31 for 180 yards passing. Beau Cox had 104 yards rushing on 21 carries. The Coyotes then hosted McPherson College on September 20 at Salina Stadium. Kansas Wesleyan put together one of its most impressive offensive showings in recent memory, racking up 481 yards of total offense and holding the ball for over 40 minutes of time of possession as the Coyotes dominated the McPherson Bulldogs 38-10 at Salina Stadium. It was the Coyotes’ night, offensively, defensively, even on special teams. The Coyotes pounded the ball on the ground for 372 yards

Dallas added six carries for 106 yards and a score, and Washington pitched in 14 carries for 66 yards and two scores. Dallas was 8-for15 for 109 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions. Dolan had two catches for 62 yards and a score, and Valliere had three grabs for 22 yards and a score. Wesleyan then headed to Waxahachie, Texas to take on the Southwestern Assemblies Lions for the fourth time in as many years. Just like the previous three times, the Coyotes were victorious, this time by a lopsided 52-13 margin. The Coyotes put together another outstanding performance on the football field, rolling out 580 yards of total offense and capitalizing on five Southwestern Assemblies of God turnovers to rout the Lions. For a second straight week the Coyotes used a crushing ground game, racking up another 394 yards on the ground after having 378 yards rushing the week before against McPherson. The Coyotes forced the first of four consecutive turnovers by SAGU on the Lions’ next drive. T.J. DiPrima recovered a fumble by Jason Rice at the KWU-23, and three plays later, McCorkle broke a 68-yard run for a touchdown to put the Coyotes ahead 14-0 after Scotty McKeon’s PAT kick. SAGU again drove deep into KWU territory on its next drive but another fumble, this time by Robby Foster, was picked up by Dustin Trimble at the end of the first quarter. SAGU didn’t have the ball long as Rice’s pass on third down was picked off by Mike Vaughan at the SAGU-27. Seven plays later, Jeremy Washington scored from five yards out to put the Coyotes up 21-0. Southwestern Assemblies’ next drive only last two plays as Joseph Garcia coughed up the ball, and Charles Starling recovered at the SAGU-26. The Coyotes then needed only two plays as Washington got his second score of the day on a 25-yard run to put the Coyotes up 28-0 with 6:34 to go in the second quarter.
A 44-yard run by Steve Valliere on KWU’s next drive set up a six-yard run by sophomore Tyler Zachman that put the Coyotes up 52-13 after McKeon’s kick. McCorkle’s 164 yards led the Coyotes in rushing, while Washington added 10 carries for 64 yards and a pair of scores. Valliere had three carries for 57 yards, Dallas added five runs for 46 yards, McCoy had six runs for 41 yards and Zachman added seven carries for 19 yards. The Coyotes pounded out 394 yards on 54 carries on the night as a team. Dallas was 9-of-19 passing for 154 yards, and Johnny Park came in late and was 1-for-4 for 32 yards. Dolan led the receivers with three catches for 54 yards, while Lowe had a pair of catches for 38 yards and Valliere added two grabs for 20 yards. Rice led SAGU with 143 yards rushing on 13 attempts from the quarterback position, while he and Garcia split time at the position, with Garcia passing 13-for-23 for 137 yards with one score and one interception, and Rice was 10-for16 for 108 yards with a touchdown and a pick. Foster had five receptions for 57 yards, while Howard added five catches for 82 yards and a touchdown. Led by a suffocating defensive effort and another stampede from its running game, Wesleyan rolled over the Moundbuilders 40-0 in a Kansas Conference game at Sonner Stadium. The victory was the Coyotes’ third in a row and raised their record to 3-1 overall, 2-1 in the KCAC. Wesleyan, the No. 2-ranked rushing offense in the NAIA, piled up 246 yards rushing -- 190 in the first. McCorkle had 125 on 19 carries and two touchdowns while Jeremy Washington added 70 on 12 carries, all in the first half. Dallas was 12 of 18 passing for 173 yards and two touchdowns and had 21 yards rushing on five carries, including a five-yard TD run in the third quarter. But the bigger story might have been the Coyotes’ defense, which dominated a young and injury-decimated Southwestern offense. The Moundbuilders didn’t get their initial first down of the game until early in the third quarter and had just two yards total offense in the first half. They finished with 128 yards on 58 plays, including 56 yards rushing on 37 attempts -- a 1.5 average. Wesleyan also forced six turnovers -- four fumbles and two interceptions -- and held the Moundbuilders out of the end zone in the fourth quarter after they had the ball first-andgoal at the KWU 1. The drive ended four plays later when Raught intercepted a Jesse Lyons’ pass in the end zone. Turnovers proved to be costly as Ottawa spoiled Kansas Wesleyan’s homecoming with a 14-7 win

After a first quarter that saw KWU move the ball well, outside of the two fumbles given up by senior tailback Preston McCorkle, the Wesleyan offense bogged down in the second quarter and most of the second half, unable to produce any points.

Bethel, the No.17 ranked team in the NAIA, also had problems moving the ball, especially in the red zone, where the Threshers had two chances with first and goals inside the KWU ten, but only came away with three points.

Fields Goals Distance (Field Goals Made are in parenthesis.)
Steven Valliere nearly broke the opening kickoff return, returning it 37 yards, only to be tripped up by the kicker Braden Dragomir and Jeff Hennick. Wesleyan’s offense didn’t have much goings on the first drive, mustering just eight yards, forcing a 47-yard Scotty McKeon punt that went for a touchback. Bethel was stopped on their opening drive, but was handed back the ball just four plays later when McCorkle coughed the ball up for the first time in the quarter. Rodney Shaw made the play to strip the ball at the Bethel-37, which was recovered by Jerrod Guthrie at the 34.
were able to get out to their own 39, when McCorkle again lost the handle and Scott Yerges recovered the ball. Bethel could get no closer than the KWU-25 on its ensuing drive, where the Threshers would give the ball back to the Coyotes on their own 29 after a loss on third down. Wesleyan would get its only points of the night on the next drive. After a false start penalty gave KWU first and 15 at their own 37, Drew Dallas found Jason Dolan for six yards to set up a third and eight at the Coyote-44. Dallas then found Marcus Lowe streaking down the middle of the field, who made the catch and opened the gap between himself and the Bethel defender and went untouched into the endzone for the score with 13:05 to go in the half. Bethel got on the board on its ensuing drive, when the Threshers had to settle for a 21-yard field goal from Dragomir, after being unable to score with first and goal at the two-yard line. Bethel jumped on top on the next drive, when the Threshers got their third takeaway of the half. After Dallas converted a third and eight to Jason Dolan, he was forced to scramble to the left and tried to underhand a pass to Dolan on the next play, but Bethel’s Jesse Mueller stepped in front of the play, making the pick and headed 53 yards the other way, untouched for the score. Bethel would take a 10-6 lead into the break. After a mostly quiet third quarter, the Threshers wrapped up the period with an impressive 13 play, 78-yard march that netted the only points of the second half for either team. Bethel quarterback Brett Clow finished the drive with a three-yard run and Dragomie’s kick made it 17-6 with nine second left in the quarter. The Coyotes imploded in the fourth quarter, both offensive and defensive. The Coyotes failed to move the ball effectively, and when they did, penalties negated the big plays. The Coyotes also gave up some costly penalties on defense as well. Six times Wesleyan was penalized for 85 yards in the fourth alone. Offensively, the Coyotes tallied 321 yards of offense, 116 rushing and 205 passing. The Coyotes were led on the ground by McCorkle with 20 carries for 69 yards, while Jeremy Washington added six for 27. Dallas was just 15-of-35 for 205 yards, with one touchdown and two interceptions. Dolan had five catches for 66 yards, while Valliere also had five grabs for 49 yards and Lowe added four catches for 77 yards. Bethel racked up 308 yards of offense led by Clow who was 14-of-31 for 180 yards passing. Beau Cox had 104 yards rushing on 21 carries.

giving McPherson great field position. However, the Bulldogs were also in the giving mood, as Sunday’s pass on the first play of the drive was picked off by Ken Mitchell at the KWU-3. McPherson had all sorts of trouble in its first drive of the second quarter. After gaining seven yards on the first play, the Bulldogs went backwards on the next two, losing nine yards on the drive, and gave the ball back to the Coyotes with 12:45 left in the quarter. Scott Moore knocked the ball loose from McPherson’s Scotty Moore on the next drive for the Bulldogs and Panigada recovered at KWU’s 49 yard line, but the Coyotes gave the ball back to the Bulldogs two plays later when Dallas’ pass for Marcus Lowe was picked off by Austin Brown. The Coyotes capitalized on their next drive, using a 44-yard pass from Dallas to Jason Dolan to set up a seven yard pass from Dallas to Steve Valliere on the next play for the score. McKeon’s kick made it 21-3 with three seconds left before the half.
After a failed drive by McPherson (1-1, 1-1 KCAC) to open the second half, the Coyotes Fields Goals Distance marched 66 yards on 11 running plays, using McKeon (29) a Washington run from four yards out to go (Field Goals Made are in parenthesis.) ahead 28-3 on McKeon’s kick. Kansas Wesleyan put together one of its most impressive offensive showings in recent memory, racking up 481 yards of total offense and holding the ball for over 40 minutes of time of possession as the Coyotes dominated the McPherson Bulldogs 38-10 at Salina Stadium. It was the Coyotes’ night, offensively, defensively, even on special teams. The Coyotes pounded the ball on the ground for 372 yards on 65 attempts, held McPherson to just 254 yards offense, and made several key plays on special teams. Wesleyan opened the game with the ball and marched 67 yards in just seven plays to go ahead 7-0. Drew Dallas hit Jason Dolan on a fade route to the left side of the end zone from 18 yards out with 12:13 left in the first quarter. The scoring play was set up by a penalty on McPherson for a late hit on a run by Preston McCorkle.
It only took one play for the Bulldogs to find the end zone on their next drive, when Sunday found a wide open Gary Cox over the middle, who went 67 yards for the score. Eason’s kick made it 28-10 with 3:18 left. The Coyotes marched into the fourth quarter on another lengthy drive, and ended up settling for a 29-yard McKeon field goal with 14:12 left. Wesleyan (1-1, 1-1 KCAC) got its final score of the night when Dallas appeared to hand off to Washington, but instead took off over the middle of the field and went nearly untouched into the endzone. The only opponent that had a chance at Dallas was the McPherson 20-yard line, which he almost tripped over en route to the score. McKeon’s kick made it 38-10. The Coyotes got some younger players some time on their final drive as Dane McCoy, Tyler Zachman and Tommy Horacek all got touches, and Johnny Park made his collegiate debut at quarterback.
McPherson later put together a nice looking drive, aided by two big pass plays from Sunday to Gary Cox. The Bulldogs got to the KWU-11 The Coyotes pounded out 481 yards of total thanks to a face mask penalty on a run by Scotty offense, including 372 yards rushing, led by Moore, but had to settle for a 28-yard field goal McCorkle, who carried 29 times for 148 yards. from Travis Eason to make the score 7-3.

The Coyotes then needed only two plays as Washington got his second score of the day on a 25-yard run to put the Coyotes up 28-0 with 6:34 to go in the second quarter. The Lions finally broke the stiff Coyote defense and the string of four straight possessions with a turnover on their next drive when Garcia hit Andrew Colvin from 24 yards out to make it 28-7 with 4:31 left. Wesleyan would settle for a 38-yard field goal to take a 31-7 lead into the break. With a little momentum coming out of the halftime break, SAGU had hoped to make a little run on the Coyotes taking the ball first to open the half.

The rest, as they say, was academic. "On defense we locked them down, our offense moved the ball, Drew made good decisions and Buffalo (McCorkle) ran the ball ... we're very confident right now," Raught said in a tidy and accurate summary of the day's proceedings. Wesleyan, the No. 2-ranked rushing offense in the NAIA, piled up 246 yards rushing -- 190 in the first. McCorkle had 125 on 19 carries and two touchdowns while Jeremy Washington added 70 on 12 carries, all in the first half. Dallas was 12 of 18 passing for 173 yards and two touchdowns and had 21 yards rushing on five carries, including a five-yard TD run in the third quarter.

But the bigger story might have been the Coyotes' defense, which dominated a young and injury-decimated Southwestern offense.
Fields Goals Distance (Field Goals Made are in parenthesis.)
The Moundbuilders didn't get their initial first down of the game until early in the third quarter and had just two yards total offense in the first half. They finished with 128 yards on 58 plays, including 56 yards rushing on 37 attempts -- a 1.5 average.
WINFIELD -- Kansas Wesleyan safety Richie Raught had an uneasy feeling entering the Coyotes' game Saturday afternoon against winless Southwestern. "I was scared, personally, that we'd play down to their level, no offense to them," Raught said. "But we came out here and played like we know how to play." Did they ever. Led by a suffocating defensive effort and another stampede from its running game, Wesleyan rolled over the Moundbuilders 40-0 in a Kansas Conference game at Sonner Stadium. The victory is the Coyotes' third in a row and raises their record to 3-1 overall, 2-1 in the KCAC. Southwestern falls to 0-4, 0-3 in the conference. Any apprehension Raught had quickly disappeared as Wesleyan took control early. The Coyotes scored 21 points in the game's first 8 minutes, 24 seconds and never looked back. Dallas hit Steven Valliere with a 33-yard touchdown pass on the sixth play of the game and Scotty McKeon's extra point kick made it 7-0 just 12:39 in. After Southwestern's offense went three-and-out, Preston McCorkle burst through a hole on the left side and rambled 68 yards for a touchdown on the Coyotes' first play after the punt. McKeon's kick made it 14-0 with 11:10 left in the quarter.
Wesleyan also forced six turnovers -- four fumbles and two interceptions -- and held the Moundbuilders out of the end zone in the fourth quarter after they had the ball first-andgoal at the KWU 1. The drive ended four plays later when Raught intercepted a Jesse Lyons' pass in the end zone. "Southwestern was real loose, and they have a lot of freshmen," defensive end Scott Moore said. "We had to play at our level and not play down to their level." "Coach (Colby) Hensley (defensive coordinator) prepares us to be in the right position every week," said Raught, a junior and returning starter. "Coach Hensley's the best coach I've ever had." Wesleyan coach Dave Dallas was pleased with most everything he saw during the day. "I thought we played well defensively, and I thought we did a great job offensively as well," he said. "The first half we got out and got after them and gave that defense that lead. "I just thought it was a great team win, and we took advantage of things."

Fields Goals Distance (Field Goals Made are in parenthesis.) Turnovers proved to be costly as Ottawa spoiled Kansas Wesleyan’s homecoming with a 14-7 win over the Coyotes at Salina Stadium. Wesleyan turned the ball over four times, including twice on plays inside Ottawa’s five. Ottawa nearly took an early lead on its second possession of the game, when it appeared that quarterback Ethan Haller hooked up with Chris Simms on a scoring play from Wesleyan’s 20, but Michael Vaughan knocked the ball away and recovered at the KWU-3. Wesleyan had a great opportunity to score on its third drive of the game, as the Coyotes marched 79-yards to the Ottawa 1-yard line. The Coyotes had second and goal, but a bad snap on a quarterback sneak play was recovered by Ottawa’s Art Rubio at the Brave 1-yard line. After Ottawa’s drive stalled, Wesleyan took over at its own 46, but gave the ball back to the Braves for the second straight possession via a turnover when Dallas’ pass to Marcus Lowe was picked off by Ty’Rone Jenkins at the Ottawa 13, just one play after the Coyotes capitalized on a Ottawa penalty on a fourth and one play. After another stalled Ottawa drive the Coyotes put together another time consuming drive, working their way down to the Ottawa-19, but could not convert a fourth and three play when Dallas’ pass to Jason Dolan was incomplete. Neither team could score in the first half, taking a 0-0 score into the break.

The Coyotes (3-2, 2-2 KCAC) took the ball to open the second half and found paydirt 10 plays and 60 yards later when Dallas faked a handoff to Preston McCorkle and went untouched into the endzone from three yards out. Scotty McKeon’s kick made it 7-0 with 10:24 left in the third. All ten plays of the drive were running plays. With a ground game that just couldn’t get going, Ottawa turned to the air to get yards and produced the Braves’ first score of the game when Haller hit Simms on a 40-yard catch and run, and Casey Wieder’s kick tied things up at 7-7 with 7:24 left in the third. The drive only took six plays and covered 80-yards. The Coyotes took over at midfield after a 20yard kick return from Dane McCoy on the short kickoff, and got as close as the Ottawa-33 when the turnover bug struck again. Overlooking a wide open receiver in the flat, Dallas looked for Dolan on the long ball, but the ball hung up and Earl Moorning picked off the pass at the Brave 1-yard line. After the teams traded drives back and forth, Wesleyan gave the Braves the ball in great shape after a seven-yard punt from McKeon gave Ottawa the ball at the KWU-42. The Braves then needed just two plays, a 41-yard catch and run from Haller to Taylor Burnett, and a oneyard run by Haller to take a 14-7 lead with 9:20 left in the game. After Ottawa’s next to last drive stalled at the KWU-35 and Cebold’s punt bounced into the end zone for a touchback, the Coyotes made one last charge to try to tie the game. Wesleyan turned to Dallas and the Coyote receivers to move the ball down the field. Dallas completed his first five passes of the drive, and the Coyotes scattered in three McCorkle runs and were aided by a personal foul penalty on the Braves to have first down at the OU-14. From there, the Coyotes went for the end zone four straight times, but Dallas’ passes were all incomplete giving Ottawa the ball back on downs with 30 seconds left. McCorkle led the Coyotes with 132 yards rushing on 32 carries, while Jeremy Washington added 12 carries for 45 yards and Dallas carried seven times for 22 yards and a score. Dallas was 12-for-25 passing from 123 yards, but threw three interceptions. Marcus Lowe had five catches for 40 yards, while Dolan added three grabs for 63 yards. Robbie DuBois led the Braves with 18 carries for 73 yards, but the Braves only had 61 yards rushing as Haller had -12 yards rushing on six carries. Throwing the ball, Haller was 13-for22 for 233 yards including one score and one interception. Burnett led the Ottawa receivers with seven catches for 154 yards.

Fields Goals Distance (Field Goals Made are in parenthesis.) HILLSBORO -- KWU quarterback Drew Dallas threw six touchdown passes, ran for another, and wide receiver Marcus Lowe set the school record for career touchdown receptions as the Coyotes overwhelmed the Bluejays 63-34.
"They weren't going to let me go back in," Lowe said. "I wanted to go back in right then. I wasn't sure they were going to let me play in the second half, but I pleaded with them and they let me play." The record breaker came in the fourth quarter when Lowe caught a 17-yard pass from Dallas with 11:30 left in the game that gave the Coyotes a 56-14 lead. "I'm glad he got the record, it's something pretty special," Dallas said. "He's worked his butt off for it, and I'm just glad I got to be part of it." Wesleyan led 28-14 at halftime and scored 21 unanswered points in the third quarter -- short runs by Dallas and Preston McCorkle, and Dallas' 34-yard touchdown pass to Jason Dolan. The Coyotes finished with 465 yards total offense and overcame three turnovers. Tabor scored three cosmetic touchdowns in the fourth quarter against Wesleyan's reserves. Dallas said the game plan typically was to run the ball, but when Tabor geared its defense to stop McCorkle and Co., the Coyotes took to the air, aided by a stiff and icy north wind.
The victory leaves KWU with a final 6-4 overall record, 5-4 in the KCAC. Tabor closes at 2-8, 2-7.
"They were putting nine guys in the box and were giving us the pass," Dallas said. "When we got the wind (in the second and third quarters) we knew we could throw it, and it opened up."
Dallas, a senior, was 13 of 23 for 213 yards and one interception and also rushed for 78 yards on nine carries. Lowe, also a senior, caught five passes for 77 yards and three touchdowns, giving him 22 during his three-year career and breaking the old mark of 21 set by Steve Willis in 2004.
Despite Tabor's best efforts, McCorkle put the finishing touches on a superb career with 129 yards rushing on 23 carries. He finished the season as the KCAC's leading rusher -- 1,355 yards -- for the second consecutive season after transferring to KWU from Fort Hays State two years ago.
"I don't know what to say. I'm almost speechless," said Lowe, who transferred to Wesleyan from Graceland (Iowa) College three years ago. "I'm just glad I had a chance to break the record. I appreciate the coaches giving me the chance and my teammates helping me get it."
Wesleyan's defense surrendered 389 yards, including 117 yards rushing by Demetrius Cox -- 89 coming on a fourth-quarter touchdown run -- and 91 yards rushing by Derek Washington. But the Coyotes forced four turnovers and limited Tabor quarterback Marc Amos to 9 of 24 passing for 132 yards and an interception.
Lowe hauled in a 15-yard TD pass from Dallas for his first score with 8:11 left in the first half. No. 2 came on a 34-yard toss from Dallas with 1:45 left before intermission. Lowe almost didn't get a chance at the record. Wesleyan recovered a Tabor fumble one play after Lowe's second TD catch and attempted to get him the record with a throw into the end zone. Lowe went up for a pass, couldn't grab it and fell to the ground, slamming his head on the ground with 1:19 left before halftime.
Dallas was pleased with the victory, which helped soothe the disappointment of initial high hopes for the season. "We hung together and were a family," he said. "There will always be some disappointment because we had higher expectations. But we finished strong and were able to accomplish some things." Story courtesy Bob Davidson, Salina Journal

THE KANSAS COLLEGIATE ATHLETIC CONFERENCE (KCAC) The Kansas Collegiate Athletic Conference, commonly called “The Kansas Conference,” is a prominent intercollegiate athletics conference comprised of ten outstanding independent or private institutions of higher education in the state. The origins of the KCAC are traced to February 15, 1890, when the Kansas Intercollegiate Athletic Association became the result of the first successful attempt at organization among Kansas colleges, “to promote and regulate amateur intercollegiate athletics.” At that time the association or conference included not only private universities and colleges but also Kansas Agriculture College (now KSU), Kansas University, and Washburn University. Football seems to have been the major sponsored sport, and Baker University won the championship for the first three or four years. In about 1902 this early association became allied with the Kansas College Athletic Conference, a group which was the first to adopt a definite set of rules and regulations. It also promoted an annual track and field meet which has continued yearly since, except for World War years. Basketball has been sponsored since 1904. Football was revived in 1907. Tennis began as early as 1912. Golf was added in 1923. By this time the name of the conference had been altered to the Kansas Collegiate Athletic Conference; it had grown to 17 college members and two allied members: Baker, Bethany, Bethel, College of Emporia, Fairmount (now WSU), Friends, Kansas Wesleyan, KSTC of Emporia (now ESU), KSTC of Hays (now FHSU), KSTC of Pittsburg (now PSU), McPherson, Ottawa, St.Benedict’s (now Benedictine), St.Mary’s, Sterling (formerly Cooper), Southwestern, and Washburn, and with St.John’s and Kansas City University (Kansas) as allied members. Kansas University and Kansas Aggies had dropped out earlier to join other conferences. In 1923 the College of Emporia, KSTC of Emporia, KSTC of Hays, KSTC of Pittsburg, Wichita (formerly Fairmount), Southwestern, and Washburn withdrew to form the Central Conference. The present legal entity comes from a reorganization of the conference when the predecessor Kansas Intercollegiate Athletic Conference formally disbanded on December 1, 1928, and a new conference was formed which again was called the Kansas College Athletic Conference. The members were Baker, Bethany, Kansas Wesleyan, McPherson, Ottawa, and St.Mary’s colleges. At that time sportswriters quickly gave the KCAC league a nickname: the “Little Six,” in contrast to the Big Six (which became Big Eight, now Big 12) which also was organized in 1928. St.Mary’s College was discontinued in 1931. The College of Emporia returned to the fold in 1933, and Bethel was readmitted in 1939. Friends, a former member of the KIAC, was admitted in 1953. Sterling and Southwestern were approved for membership in 1958. In 1968 Tabor College and St. Mary of the Plains College were admitted to make twelve members in the conference, and the conference was organized into Southern and Northern divisions until 1970 — when Baker, College of Emporia, and Ottawa withdrew to join two separate Missouri-based conferences. In the mid-1970s the formal name was changed again to Kansas Collegiate Athletic Conference. In 1975 women’s intercollegiate athletics were incorporated into programs of the KCAC. Ottawa was readmitted in 1981, bringing the conference membership to 10. In 1992 St.Mary of the Plains College in Dodge City left the conference and eventually closed. In 1999, Saint Mary College (now University of Saint Mary) joined to return the KCAC membership to ten institutions. The “Kansas Conference” (KCAC) continues to be an all-Kansas conference. The KCAC is an affiliated conference of the National Association of intercollegiate Athletics with headquarters in Kansas City, Mo.. Today the KCAC sponsors conference intercollegiate athletics in football, volleyball, men’s cross country, women’s cross country, men’s soccer, women’s soccer, men’s basketball, women’s basketball, men’s indoor track and field, women’s indoor track and field, men’s outdoor track and field, women’s outdoor track and field, baseball, softball, golf, women’s tennis, men’s tennis. The KCAC is a widely respected conference which governs intercollegiate athletics in cooperation with the NAIA.

COYOTE ATHLETICS
THE NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF INTERCOLLEGIATE ATHLETICS (NAIA) “The first general session of the `Organizing Convention’ of the National Association of Intercollegiate Basketball (NAIB) was held in the Phillips Hotel, Kansas City, Missouri, at 10 a.m., Sunday, March 10, 1940.” But the seed from which the NAIB sprouted was planted two blocks away at Municipal Auditorium. It was there in 1937 that a men’s basketball tournament tipped off which has become the longest continuous national collegiate tournament in any sport. The tournament was the brainchild of Emil S. Liston, Dr. James Naismith, Frank Cramer, and a group of Kansas City business leaders who wanted to provide Kansas City-area fans with exciting amateur competition and to provide a framework for small colleges and universities to determine a national basketball champion. In 1948, the NAIB affirmed its commitment to equality by becoming the first national organization to offer intercollegiate postseason opportunities to black student-athletes. Unprecedented action was taken in 1953 when historically black institutions were voted into membership. One year previous to the inclusion of historically black institutions, another form of expansion occurred. In 1952, as a result of the expressed desires of the member institutions, appropriate steps were taken by which the NAIB was transformed into the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA), and the first all-encompassing set of rules and standards was adopted. Recommendations to take this important action were made by the National Executive Committee at the annual meeting after determining the move was desirable and feasible. The recommendation was later approved by a mail vote of the entire membership. With the Association’s new name came the addition of national championships in golf, tennis and outdoor track and field. Football, cross country, baseball and swimming and diving were added to the championships calendar in 1956. Wrestling (1958), soccer (1959), bowling (1962-78), gymnastics (1964-84), indoor track and field (1966) and men’s volleyball (1969-80) were later additions. Two major changes were made during the 1970s. An extensive study was completed in 1970 which paved the way for two divisions of football. Four teams qualified for the playoffs in each division at the outset and, later, 16 teams were selected for postseason play. In 1997, football was consolidated to one division again as the Football Coaches Association cited a narrowing gap between enrollment size and philosophy of the two divisions. As the NAIA moved into its second half-century in the 1980s, it revolutionized national collegiate athletics with the establishment of athletics programs for women on August 1, 1980. Official notice on that date followed a mail vote by the membership on May 1 that supported becoming the first organization to offer collegiate athletics to both men and women. The championship calendar for women began that year with basketball, cross country, gymnastics, indoor and outdoor track and field, softball, tennis and volleyball. Soccer was added in 1984, and golf was included in 1995. Gymnastics was discontinued after the 1988 championship. Another important chapter in the history of the NAIA unfolded in 1992 when the Association voted to move its headquarters from Kansas City to Tulsa. Moving with the national office was the Division I Men’s Basketball National Championship which had been held in Kansas City for 56 years. In 1993, the waves of change once again washed over the Association. The membership voted to discontinue the use of district play as a means of qualification for national championships, marking the first time since the NAIA’s creation that district competition would not be used. In 1999, the NAIA restructured to include 14 regions to better serve its membership. Each region is governed by a regional management committee comprised of various conference and independent representatives. In 2000, the NAIA reaffirmed its purpose to enhance the character-building aspects of sport. Through Champions of Character, the NAIA seeks to create an environment in which every student-athlete, coach, official and spectator is committed to the true spirit of competition through five tenets: respect, integrity, responsibility, servant leadership and sportsmanship. This program will educate and create awareness of the positive characterbuilding traits afforded by sports and return integrity to competition at the collegiate and youth levels while impacting all of society. Everything has come full circle. The NAIA relocated its National Office in July of 2001 to Olathe, Kansas, just miles from Gardner where the idea for the small-college basketball tournament gave rise to the NAIA. Now, nearly 65 years after that initial tournament, the NAIA Division I Men’s Basketball National Championship is returning to Municipal Auditorium, the arena that was home to so many memories from 1927-74. In Summer 2007, the NAIA relocated its National Office to downtown Kansas City, Mo. The NAIA has 50,000 student-athletes participating at nearly 300 member colleges and universities throughout the United States and Canada. Divided into 14 regions, the NAIA offers 23 championships in 13 sports. Since 1937, the NAIA has continued a long tradition of pushing the envelope and making a positive difference in the lives of students, coaches and parents. The Champions of Character program is the latest cutting-edge addition to the NAIA’s proud history of innovation. Through Champions of Character, the NAIA seeks to create an environment in which every student-athlete, coach, official and spectator are committed to the true spirit of competition through the five core values: respect, integrity, responsibility, servant leadership and sportsmanship.

A BRIEF HISTORY OF KANSAS WESLEYAN FOOTBALL 1893 - 2008 Kansas Wesleyan University celebrates its 116th year of football this season. Kansas FOOTBALL HISTORY QUICK FACTS Wesleyan’s football history is a storied one, one of great coaches, great players, and great First Year of Football ................................................................1893 teams. Seasons Played ............................................................................ 100 Overall Record ...................................................400-433-39 (.458) It all began in 1893, as the “Wesleyans” as they were known back then, took to the field KCAC Record ......................................................284-273-22 (.490) experimenting with one of the newest intercollegiate sports sweeping the nation, football. KCAC Championships .......................................13 (Last in 2002) Kansas Wesleyan played its first ever game against the high school team from Abilene on November 6, 1893. KWU was victorious 14-2. The November 7, 1893, edition of the Salina Bowl Appearances ...........................................................................1 Daily Republican claimed, “WESLEYAN WINS! The Abilene team gets some pointers on foot ....................................................(American Family Charity, 2000) ball...” Just one week later, the team traveled south to Lindsborg to play the Bethany Swedes. NAIA Championship Series Berths .............................................2 Kansas Wesleyan also showed the Bethany boys a thing or two about the game as they ...........................................................................................(2001, 2002) clobbered them 48-0. The Coyotes then entertained Abilene again and then Chapman on NAIA Championship Series Record ........................................ 0-2 consecutive days, coming out victorious in both contests. The final recorded contest of the inaugural season was against the tough Baker University team, which stopped in town on its way back from beating the Denver State College team. Baker beat KWU 44-0, and Wesleyan finished the first year with a 4-1 record. A nationwide effort to suppress football because of its brutality hit Salina and the school’s administration banished the sport from the campus for five years. Changes to the rules of football, along with a renewed interest at KWU and nationwide brought the sport back to Wesleyan in 1899. Kansas Wesleyan football sputtered the next few years, being cancelled three times for lack of interest and protests by members of the KWU administration, who still detested the sport for its lack of class and civilization, and once for World War I in 1918. In 1920, a little firepot from Ohio named Alexander Brown Mackie arrived in Salina and took over the KWU athletic program and began a resurgence of Coyote football, which has continued since. Mackie has the best winning percentage of all coaches at KWU who have more than 10 wins (.545), and has the second most wins overall (78) in his 17 years of coaching. Mackie has five of KWU’s 13 KCAC Championships, one more than Gene Bissell who earned four trophies in his tenure at KWU. Since the beginning of the modern era of the KCAC in 1929, KWU has captured 13 conference titles, third place all time behind Bethany and Ottawa who each have 17.
KWU’S FIRST FOOTBALL SQUAD IN 1893
In 1952, the legendary Franklin Gene Bissell took over a fledgling Coyote football program that had gone 42-45-13 since Mackie left in 1937. Bissell spent the next 26 years at the helm, bringing the team to the top of the KCAC once again. Bissell is the all-time winningest football coach at KWU with 116 wins, and has the third best winning percentage (.494) all-time. Bissell was elected to the KWU Athletic Hall of Fame and is also a member of the NAIA Hall of Fame (1991). Bissell retired from coaching after the 1978 season with a 116-119-7 record. The next 18 years of Coyote football saw only one KCAC championship in 1982, a player controversy involving a player who had already graduated from Florida State that landed KWU in the national spotlight on ESPN in 1995, and a dismal 67-109-1 record until 1997, when Dave Dallas came to KWU from KCAC rival Ottawa University. Since then, Dallas has returned the team to its past glory, as he earned two consecutive KCAC titles in 2001 and 2002. Since 2000, KWU has gone 59-34 and has appeared three times in post-season play (2001 American Family Insurance Charity Bowl, 2002 NAIA Playoffs, 2003 NAIA Playoffs). Dallas’ two trips to the NAIA playoffs were the first in KWU’s history. His record at KWU stands at 67-53 through 12 seasons. Since the inception of football at KWU in 1893, Kansas Wesleyan has a 400-433-39 record. Since the modern era of the KCAC began in 1929, KWU’s conference record is 284-273-22 to go along with its 13 conference championships, the first of which was in 1929, and the most recent in 2003.

VISITING TEAM INFORMATION GUIDE Again in the 2009 season, Kansas Wesleyan will play its football games at Salina Stadium located at Salina Central High School. Salina Stadium features nearly 7,000 seats overlooking a synthetic turf field that was installed in the summer of 2005. Visiting teams are asked to arrive at Salina Stadium and locker room facilities will be located in the annex building located along the north end of the stadium. Visiting teams will use the east side of the annex building as their locker room facility. There is parking for busses in the large parking lot to the south of the school buildings. Please park busses along the north edge of the parking lot. Since this is not our facility, we ask visiting teams to please make the best effort possible to clean up before your departure from the stadium. A member of the KWU Athletic Department Staff will be at the Salina Stadium when your team arrives to greet you and direct you to the locker rooms and show your staffs where they can set up their equipment.
