2011 NJCAA FOOTBALL PREVIEW Navarro College Ready to Defend Title; Miss. Gulf Coast & Butler Poised Again COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - Navarro College (Texas) starts the 2011 NJCAA Football season at No. 1 in the NJCAA Preseason Top 25, released on August 2, 2011. Despite having one of the most difficult schedules, Navarro is expected to make a strong push toward its second consecutive national title. The Bulldogs come into 2011 with a proven coaching staff and a talented young group of players. Navarro is followed in the preseason rankings by Mississippi Gulf Coast Community College, Butler Community College (Kan.), Blinn College, (Texas), and Arizona Western College. Quarterback Adrian Nelson is one of 17 returning players (10 offense / 7 defense) for the Bulldogs. Last season, after Navarro lost starting quarterback Desmond Green to injury, Nelson successfully managed the Bulldog offense for the last two games of the season, including a 13-12 win over Butler in the NJCAA Football Championship Game at the Citizen’s Bank Bowl. Defensively, interior lineman Joey Searcy and cornerback Jeremy McKnight headline the Bulldog defense, which finished in the top 15 in nearly every statistical category a year ago. Searcy recorded 29 tackles, five tackles for losses, three sacks, and one fumble recovery, while McKnight gathered up 14 tackles, two interceptions and returned one of his picks for a touchdown. Head coach Nick Bobeck will be leading the Bulldogs for his fourth season. He has led Navarro to a combined record of 32-3 (.914) and has yet to lose a conference regular season game. Since 2008, Navarro has been ranked No. 1 in the nation for a combined eight weeks, has won two bowl games and has never finished a season with a national ranking lower than fourth. Navarro will begin their quest for back-to-back national titles on August 25th, when they host No. 3 Butler in a rematch of the 2010 NJCAA Football Championship Game. Navarro beat Butler via a last minute field goal from the leg of Juve Sanchez to win the program’s first national championship since 1989. The two teams also faced each other to open the 2010 season with Butler pulling out a 16-10 victory. Hutchinson Community College (Kan.), Snow College (Utah), Pearl River Community College (Miss.), Northwest Mississippi Community College, and Georgia Military College complete the Top 10 of the preseason rankings. 2011 NJCAA Football Season Begins Aug. 25-27 The 2011 NJCAA football season begins August 25-27 and is highlighted by two games in the annual challenge series between the Kansas Jayhawk Community College Conference and the Southwest Junior College Football Conference. The series will begin with a bang when No. 3 Butler (Kan.) travels up to Corsicana (Texas) on the 25th for a rematch with No. 1 Navarro (Texas). Navarro defeated Butler 13-12 in the NJCAA National Championship in 2010. Next, No. 23 Independence (Kan.) will host No. 14 Trinity Valley (Texas) on the 27th. 11 All-Americans from 2010 return to NJCAA in 2011 The 2011 season will bring back 11 NJCAA All-Americans, with nine being offensive players. Ellsworth returns the most All-Americans this year, with First-Team wide receiver Dexter Holmes and Honorable Mention quarterback Willie Tindal. Holmes grabbed 65 receptions for 972 yards and 12 touchdowns last season, while Tindal threw for 2,929 yards and 23 touchdowns while running for another 762 yards for 10 touchdowns. Along with Holmes, quarterback Melvin German of Pearl River (Miss.) and wide receiver Javon Bell of Mississippi Gulf Coast are the only First-Team AllAmericans from 2010 set to return. German threw for 2,728 yards and 16 touchdowns, while Bell snagged 46 receptions for 1,313 yards and 17 touchdowns. Meanwhile, Honorable Mention linebacker Chris Ficklin of East Central Community College (Miss.) is one of two defensive All-Americans set to return this year. He totaled 126 tackles, 10 Tackles for losses, five-and-a-half sacks, and forced and recovered two fumbles last season with the Warriors. Honorable Mention punter Colter Johnson of Alfred State College (N.Y.) is the other defensive representative to return from last season’s All-American squad.

MISSISSIPPI ASSN. OF COMM. & JR. COLLEGES - SOUTH One of the oldest NJCAA football leagues still in existence, the Mississippi Assn. of Community & Junior Colleges officially began play in 1927. The league is split into two divisions (North & South) and the league ends its season with a four-team playoff for the conference title. The South Division has been dominated by Pearl River and Mississippi Gulf Coast since 2004, but Copiah Lincoln spoiled the scene last year. The winner of the MACJC receives first priority for participation in the Mississippi Bowl, which is held in early December in Biloxi.

WESTERN STATES FOOTBALL LEAGUE Originally formed in 1984, the WSFL first consisted of ten schools, six from the Arizona Community College Conference (ACCAC) and four from the Intermountain Collegiate College Conference (ICAC). Over the years a number of schools have entered and left the league, to create its current nine-school membership. Previous members in include College of Eastern Utah, Ricks College and Dixie State College. In 1993 New Mexico Military entered the conference and Pima joined in 2001.

A LOOK BACK

2010

Navarro'’s Win Over Butler Seals First NJCAA Football Championship Since '’89 for Bulldogs COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (Dec. 6, 2010) - For the second consecutive year, the NJCAA Football Championship was clinched in the final minute of a thrilling contest. Jueventino Sanchez of Navarro College (Texas) nailed a 28yard field goal with just over a minute remaining in the fourth quarter to defeat top-ranked Butler (Kan.) 13-12 on Dec. 5th at the 2010 NJCAA Football Championship Game, which was held at the Citizen's Bank Bowl in Pittsburg, Kan., for the second straight year. The win gave the Navarro (11-1) its second national championship in football (1989) and the No. 1 ranking in the final NJCAA Football Top 20 poll. Navarro and Butler battled to a 0-0 score after one half of play, but both teams scored on their first possessions of the third quarter. Navarro was able to get its offense going via the legs of Depauldrick Garrett who finished with 106 yards on 15 carries. The Bulldogs were able to gain 163 yards on the ground for the game after being limited to just 28 rushing yards in the first half.

Navarro’s Toby Jackson sacks Butler QB Zach Mettenberger late in the second half of the 2010 NJCAA Football Championship. Jackson had two sacks and six tackles to lead the Bulldogs to a 13-12 win and was named the game’s Defensive MVP. Photo by and courtesy of Jeremy Pierra of Navarro College.

"This is very rewarding," said Navarro head coach Nick Bobeck, who is now an astounding 32-3 in three seasons leading the Bulldogs. "I'm very proud of the accomplishments of this group of kids. We didn't play great, but these kids reached down within themselves and found enough inside to get the win."

Navarro's defense was able to shutdown a Butler offense that was averaging over 40 points a contest heading into the title game. The Bulldogs sacked Butler quarterback Zach Mettenberger four times, twice in the second half by defensive end Toby Jackson.

For Butler (11-1), it was the program's first loss in a bowl game in five years and first loss in a national championship contest since 2004. The Grizzlies ended the 2010 season at No. 2 in the final poll. Mississippi Gulf Coast (10-2) was No. 3 in the final poll after outscoring Grand Rapids (Mich.) 63-52 in the Mississippi Bowl.

Nassau (N.Y.) and Hutchinson (Kan.) rounded out the top five spots in the final rankings. NOTE: As the highest ranking non-scholarship team in the final rankings, Nassau CC (N.Y.) is declared the 2010 NJCAA Top Non-Scholarship Team by the NJCAA Football Coaches Association.

The 2010 NJCAA Football Championship Game had over 22,000 viewers on NJCAA TV and PSBLive.com. The game can be seen in its entirety via NJCAA TV archive at www.njcaa.org/tv.

Late Field Goal Seals National Title for Navarro

by Jayson Larson, Special to the NJCAA he Navarro College (Texas) Bulldogs captured the school’s second NJCAA football championship with a heart-pounding 13-12 win December 5th over the Butler Community College (Kan.) Grizzlies in the Citizens Bank Bowl in Pittsburg, Kan. Juve Sanchez’s 28-yard field goal tumbled through the uprights at Carlie Smith Stadium with 1:11 left to deliver a national title to Navarro and the city of Corsicana for the first time since 1989. Butler used a 16-10 win over the then-No. 4 Bulldogs on August 26 in Wichita, Kan.,to open their season, which featured seven weeks atop the NJCAA football rankings. That loss was one of only three for the 30-year-old Nick Bobeck, who is now 32-3 in three seasons at Navarro. The other two came at the hands of Blinn in the 2008 and 2009 Southwest Junior College Football Conference championship games. In both games, the Bulldogs entered the game as the No. 1 team in the country and failed to advance for a chance to play for a title. “This is very rewarding,” said Bobeck, who guided to the Bulldogs to a No. 2 ranking entering the national title game. “I’m very proud of the accomplishments of this group of kids. We didn’t play great, but these kids reached down within themselves and found enough inside to get the win.” The Bulldogs’ biggest gutcheck of the game started at their own 48-yard line with 6:15 left in the game. The Bulldogs’ rejuvenated running game – that was held to just 28 yards in the first half – started with a 17-yard scamper

by DePauldrick Garrett. He and Daniel Palmer then took turns eating up chunks of yardage, with quarterback Adrian Nelson adding a key two-yard quarterback sneak on fourthand-one along the way. When the Bulldog offense ran out of steam following 12 consecutive rushes, Sanchez trotted onto the field and nailed the game-winning kick. The kicking game proved to play a major factor in the game – Butler head coach Troy Morrell opted to go for two points following both of his team’s touchdowns, which was part of the plan. “We made the decision a few weeks ago to (go for twopoint conversions),” Morrell said. “We came up short. We had a lot of opportunities to score (but) we struggled in different areas.” The Grizzlies had plenty of other headaches Sunday – literally, after their offensive line that had protected Zach Mettenberger so well for the first 30 minutes of the game couldn’t do so over the final 30 minutes. The Bulldogs sacked Mettenberger four times, all in the second half and twice by defensive end Toby Jackson. The loss was the first for Butler in a bowl game in five years and first loss in a national championship contest since 2004. NOTE: The 2010 NJCAA Football Championship Game was streamed live on NJCAA TV and PSB Live. Fans can watch the entire game via video archive at www.njcaa.org/tv or www.psblive.com.

Mississippi Bowl

December 5, 2010 // Indian Stadium // Biloxi, Miss.

Offense Prevails in Shootout at Mississippi Bowl Biloxi, Miss. by Bill Snyder, Mississippi Gulf Coast CC

he third edition of Mississippi Bowl featured 115 points and more than a thousand yards of offense, which kept the scoreboard operator and statisticians busy right up to the game’s final play. However, it was two defensive plays down the stretch that helped Mississippi Gulf Coast Community College outlast Grand Rapids Community College (Mich.) 62-53 in the third annual event on Dec. 5 at Biloxi Indian Stadium. With Mississippi Gulf Coast nursing a 56-53 lead, Bulldogs safety Lamar Johnson intercepted a Grand Rapids pass as the Raiders were driving for a gametying field goal with 1:30 to go. After the MGC offense ran the clock down to eight seconds, a flea-flicker play by Grand Rapids turned into a one-yard fumble return for touchdown by Mario Stovall as time expired. Grand Rapids fell behind MGC 20-0 in the first quarter after two of the team’s six turnovers led to 14 points. The second quarter opened with a 14-point offensive burst from Grand Rapids, featuring two touchdown passes by James Stallons. Then the Bulldog offense responded with a 14-point uprising of its own as Clayton Moore hooked up with wide receiver Javon Bell twice over a four minute span. The first half came to an end with a 44-yard field goal by Greg Cognetto and a 32-yard TD pass from Stallons to Dominque Douglas to make it 35-23 Bulldogs at halftime. GRCC scored 18 unanswered points over the final two minutes of the first half and the beginning two minutes of the third quarter to cut the Bulldog lead to 35-32. MGC responded as James Gillum scored on a two-yard run and Moore hit Mo Miliam for a TD pass to take a 49-32 lead. The Raiders came back at the end of the quarter as Stallons and Douglas connected for an 89-yard TD bomb and an eight-yard strike making it 49-46 Gulf Coast after three quarters. MGC finally took control of the game on a 10-play, 80yard drive that was capped with a four-yard TD run by 330 pound nose guard Jonathan Jenkins.
