MUSTANG FOOTBALL
A set of back-to-back home games concludes the 2020 regular season. That span begins this afternoon with Hastings College’s visit to Elwood Olsen Stadium. Head coach Steve Ryan’s Mustangs sport a 7-0 overall and Great Plains Athletic Conference record. The Broncos, coached by Tony Harper, have similar 2-6 records total and in league play. A special celebration is part of today’s contest. The Mustangs football, competitive cheer, competitive dance and marching band programs honor the Class of 2021 members on their rosters.
THE MATCH-UP Morningside has claimed 13 straight in the series. The Maroon has put up 60-or-more points in five of the previous six meetings including a 69-13 victory last year at Hastings.
MUSTANG MARKS Sparked by the play of Week Nine GPAC offensive and Defensive Players of the Week Joe Dolincheck and Niklas Gustav, Morningside closed out its regular-season road slate with an impressive 56-22 win at Concordia University Nov. 7. The Mustangs vaunted offense nearly hit the 700 mark in total offense, finishing with 649 at CU’s Bulldog Stadium. Meanwhile, the defense limited the hosts to only 15 yards rushing and limited them to 12 points over the final three quarters after they posted 10 in the first 15 minutes. A pair of Maroon-clad athletes hit personal milestones, with one being a program record. Gustav, dragging down Concordia quarterback Blake Culbert twice, surpassed former career sacks leader Bob McCabe by moving to 23.5. Reid Jurgensmeier, another member of the Class of 2021, became the second person in school history to reach 50 touchdown receptions, logging his ninth successive 100-yard-plus contest and hauling in two scoring strikes. The Mustangs had a surplus of superlatives beyond that duo. Their junior quarterback threw for better than 400 yards for the second time in his career, going for 442 and three touchdowns; freshman wide receiver Zach Norton and junior wide receiver Jamal Albousafi benefitted along with Jurgensmeier from Dolincheck’s big afternoon, as Norton recorded five catches for 115 yards and a touchdown, and Albousafi tallied 10 for 97; senior running back Arnijae “AP” Ponder crept ever so close to 5000 career rushing yards, moving with 28 with a 157-yard, three-touchdown day. The Mustang defense totaled 11 tackles for Concordia losses to 28 lost yards and turned the home team over once with an interception.
MUSTANG FOOTBALL The Nov. 7 numbers further strengthened Morningside’s high rent residency on the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics statistics. The team is first in pass offense per game (335.6), total offense per outing (545.6), and fewest sacks surrendered (one). They’re a close second in total scoring (356 points) and points per contest (50.9) along with total pass offense (2,489 yards). The Mustangs’ defensive stalwarts have also contributed to top-notch listings, as their sacks per game output (four) is second-highest and their total sack numbers (28) are fourth-best. Individually, Jurgensmeier leads the nation in total (102 points) and per game (14 points) scoring; Dolincheck’s 333.9 yards per game through the air are first; and junior defensive back Drew Bessey’s four interceptions top the category.
ABOUT HASTINGS A stout rushing attack has been the focal point of offensive success for the Broncos. Five backfield players have 100-yards-or-more to their credit led by the duo of senior Tyree Nesmith and sophomore Brett Simonsen who have each gone over the 400-yard mark. HC has a two-platoon system at quarterback with sophomores John Zamora and Jesse Ulrich combining for eight touchdowns and nearly 1500 yards. Senior wide receiver Keiotey Stenhouse has been a tough match-up for opposing defensive backfields garnering 32 catches for 446 yards and three touchdowns. Junior Tydus Clay and sophomore Paxton Terry have been an effective one-two punch for the defense. Clay has 66 tackles and 11 tackles for losses, and Terry has compiled 49 tackles and fiveand-a-half tackles for losses.
PLAYER PROFILE
GUIDING INFLUENCES EVANS UNDERSTANDS ROLE MODELS IN LIFE, LOOKS TO RECIPROCATE IN CAREER At many of life’s intersections, Steven Evans has had role models. The examples are many. From his mom and friendly neighbors in his childhood home in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., to assistant coach Darius Hicks, the Mustangs’ cornerback has utilized those relationships to collegiate success on and off the field. “I’ve been fortunate to have many important interactions with people who have helped mold me,” Evans admitted. “I wouldn’t be where I am today without any of those opportunities.” Growing up in a tougher section of Fort Lauderdale, Fla., he and his friends’ options could be limited. However, with his mom and some concerned and family-figure-like neighbors, Evans and his cohorts could get into sports. “Sports and most importantly, football was a route for me growing up,” he reflected. “It kept my friends and me away from things we shouldn’t be doing. We’d just go outside and play, as we had people in the neighborhood looking out for us. My mom was right there, too, keeping her right hand on my shoulder --- pushing me to do great things and stay focused.” As he moved into a high school gridiron path, he caught the Morningside College coaching staff’s attention uniquely. “Coach Hicks found me through Twitter,” Evans reminisced. “He saw my highlight film and reached out. I’ve got to be honest when he contacted me. I didn’t know where Sioux City was. I didn’t even have a visit,” he added. “I decided to come to Morningside sight unseen and reported on check-in day. I never doubted my decision for a second, though. I’ve loved how close we are as a team and how much the coaches interact with us about the game and life. Yeah, I may miss walks on the beach and the warmer temperatures, but this Midwest setting has been good for me.” The influence theme didn’t end with Hicks on Morningside’s campus. Former standout Xavier Spann and his roommate and teammate senior running back Arnijae “AP” Ponder have been big keys to his collegiate career. “I was able to start as a freshman right up through now,” he said. “I had to learn a lot of things quickly, so Xavier was a huge help. I learned a lot from him and playing with him for two years. AP’s been very important, too. He could see how tough the injury was me for last year and encouraged me to stay over the summer and get some work in with strength and conditioning coach Aaron Jung. It made a world of difference --- I feel so much better.” Now, as he nears graduation next May with a degree in social and behavioral science, Evans wants to give back in helping others like he’s received.
“I’ve seen what can happen when people step forward,” he noted. “I want to have that same effect on others. I’d like to try a career path in either the U.S. Marshals, the Central Intelligence Agency, maybe somewhere in law enforcement, if possible. It’s time for me to give back --- Morningide’s shown me how important that is.”
