Senate talks details for future concert series Shannon Schneider Managing Editor Big names such as Panic! At The Disco, Fetty Wap and Marshmello were brought to the table during Senate’s ongoing discussion on CSC’s upcoming concert series. Senators reported that their constituents had mentioned names like the ones above as possible performers they’d like to see on campus. Though Senate is running on a tentative $100,000 budget, adviser Megan Northrup reminded senators of the reality behind big numbers. “Senate has about $200,000 per year, of the estimate we’ve given this year. $100,000 of that is already allocated to clubs. So, it really does dwindle down. If you’re looking at $50,000 or $75,000 we’re going to have to figure it out and crunch some numbers and see what’s important to you guys,” Northrup said. Other argued that a well-known artist could not only draw large crowds to Chadron, but also attention from area schools for possible co-sponsorships. “I don’t think it would be completely out of the question to hit up Black Hills State or South Dakota School of Mines. I feel like if we hit them up and ask ‘Hey, we’re willing to contribute this much, is there any way you guys can make up the difference so

we can get them here, and then you guys are welcome to come and participate?’ I think they’d be down,” Senator Cody Cooper, graduate student of Gothenburg, said. “I think we could draw in hundreds of people from the area.” Though Senate tabled the discussion until their next meeting, students are encouraged to tell senators artists they’d like to see visit Chadron State. Vice Chair of Finance Lily Umeta, sophomore of Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, announced that AFB budget recommendations for the 2019-2020 school year will be presented to Senate this Monday. Umeta explained that AFB used a precedent while going through budgets, including a recommended one clothing item per club at a maximum of $30 per person, $25 for Homecoming and Spring Daze, one organizational meal per semester and $300 for prizes per hosted event, excluding organizations that host weekly events. Paired with a budget packet rubric, Umeta said AFB was “consistent with organizations” using their system, but if there are any questions they should be directed to her or any AFB members. “When you go through an organization’s budget request, and see the cuts we made, these are the reasons why we made it,” Umeta said. “If you have specific questions about specific organizations you can always come to me or any other AFB member, but these are the overall reasons why we cut (budgets).” AFB has emailed surveys to the executive boards of student

organizations regarding the recent budget hearings. Umeta said the surveys, which are anonymous, will be helpful in future hearings. “It’s going to help us a lot because right now I’m just hearing rumors, and I don’t know exactly what clubs are feeling about the budget hearings, so it would be better for me to sit down and read it (the survey) and know what they’re thinking about it. If we need to change some things it would be a good way for clubs to communicate it,” Umeta said. $2,500 was allocated for Mark Lundquist, a motivational speaker set to visit CSC this fall. Senate approved AFB’s recommended $168.60 for Social Work club’s April 9-11 trip to Lincoln. The allocation includes $80 for gas and a single room at the Wyndham Lincoln for $55, but a 5% cut was made for a 2-week late submission. United was also cut 5%, totaling $24.89, for missing one CAB meeting. Senator Aaron Wood, senior of Ogallala, reported that the Events Committee is considering moving the Nearly Naked Mile dance to The Hub, Armstrong gymnasium or the NPAC. Wood also added that tables will be set up in the Student Center until Wednesday, April 10, to promote and allow students to vote and sign up for Spring Daze and Nearly Naked Mile. Senate currently has $9,931 in unallocated funds.

Cowboy poet R.P. Smith draws laughs from the crowd during Chadron State Rodeo’s 15th annual Black Tie Calf Fry, Friday, in the Student Center Ballroom. Fundraised money will go toward scholarships, travel and feed for the team’s animals.

In support of CSC’s rodeo team, a crowd of over 200 gathered in the Student Center Ballroom, Friday night for the 15th annual Black Tie Calf Fry. “We have a live auction and a silent auction, we try to bring in the local community and entertain them for a night,” Assistant Coach Cody Trump explained, “giving them some good food and some good entertainment while helping to support our cause of the CSC Rodeo team” The men and women of the rodeo team organized this event, each member, selling tickets, bringing in items to be auctioned or waiting tables. One of Nebraska’s best- known cowboy poets, R.P. Smith, of Broken Bow, provided the entertainment for the evening, reciting a few of his favorite poems for attendees. During the night, the team presented Coach Dustin Luper and his family with a gift. Several members of the team spoke of Coach Luper’s outstanding leadership and expressed their appreciation for him and the impact he has had in their lives. The team also honored several excep-

tional members of rodeo community, presenting them with jackets as a token of appreciation. The live auction, led by auctioneer Del Kraupie of Bridgeport, consisted of a variety of items including, inclusive hunting trip, leather purses, livestock halters, handcrafted furniture, stud fees, handmade quilts and a puppy. Professional rodeo announcer Jared Slagle, of Sargent, was the event’s MC and kept the night transitioning smoothly. A game of heads or tails provided one aspect of the night’s entertainment. Bead necklaces were sold at the doors and those who bought the necklaces participated the game. Placing their hands on their head or their hips when a coin was tossed, whomever guessed correctly got to keep their beads and the person with the most beads won half of the bead money. The team raised around $15,000 this year. The money from this event funds much of the team’s expenses including scholarships, feed for their animals and travel. Formally operating as a sports club, this has been the team’s first year as an official sport since being adopted into the athletic department in July. The team consists of 31 members many of whom will be competing in their third rodeo of the season this weekend in Fort Collins, Colorado.

CSC hosts Weather Spotter Training Shannon Schneider Managing Editor Audience members from as far as Omaha gathered at 10 a.m. in the Lakota/Ponderosa room for the National Weather Service’s Weather Spotter Training, Tuesday. Meteorologists Jared Allen, Mike Jamski and Matthew Brothers from the National Weather Service in Cheyenne, Wyoming, made the trek to CSC to talk to the audience “person-to-person” in order to prepare a “weather-ready nation.” The trio covered topics such as prediction models, severe thunderstorm cycles and tornadoes, giving the audience a full picture of what to watch for when spotting. Spotters are especially needed in the Chadron area, where, according to Allen, the nearest radar location is in Rapid City, leaving a blind spot at Cheyenne’s Weather Service station. Because of this, firsthand reports from spotters are “still critical” to accurately track weather. “We can only tell so much from a radar,” Allen said. Allen, Jamski and Brothers discussed the

differences between wall clouds and shelf clouds as well as a thunderstorm’s life cycle, detailing what ingredients it takes to get severe storms common to the plains. “When you combine instability, moisture, and then you combine wind shear, you get interesting storms,” Allen said. The three also elaborated on supercells and tornadoes, noting that Dawes County has had 28 recorded tornado days from 1950-2014. The largest tornado was deemed an F2, meaning the storm caused “considerable damage” with winds of up to 111-157 miles per hour, but no tornado deaths or injuries have been recorded. To report to the National Weather Service, spotters should give a location, start and end time of the event, and provide frequent updates. Spotters should never assume NWS is aware of the effects, even if a warning is in effect. Because of the variety of weather seen in northwest Nebraska, Allen emphasized the importance of reporting what is seen regardless of severity. “If you guys are reporting something to us something interesting, even if it might be nothing, give us a call,” Allen said.

Donica Enevoldsen Lifestyles Editor For those of you who know me, you’ve probably picked up on this, but for everyone else, let me admit something; I was very shy as a child and still am sometimes. I don’t love this fact about myself and sometimes I pretend I’m not, but it’s always there, lurking in my stomach, holding me back from starting a conversation with someone or keeping me away from the center of the room. Being an introvert in an extrovert’s world can be challenging, and it’s easy to get overlooked, but that doesn’t have to be the case. Here is my best advice from one shy person to another. Suck it up buttercup. Get over it. I know that sounds mean, but it’s a truth I had to discover for myself. Being a shy person and pursuing a degree in journalism means talking to dreaded strangers daily. Let me tell you, it hasn’t gotten much easier, but it challenges me daily to step outside my comfort zone. Although I don’t hate interviewing people anymore, it’s not something I look forward to doing. Here’s the thing though; being good at something doesn’t require you to enjoy every aspect of it. Stop using shyness or introversion as an excuse to get out of work or try new things. Go out of your comfort zone whenever possible. Go act in a local theatre or sing at an open mic night. Acknowledge the panicking feeling in your

stomach, and then do the thing anyway. When you confront your insecurities repeatedly, you’ll begin to realize they have no control over you when you don’t allow them to. When I’m feeling especially nervous about something, I overcome my shyness by setting my priorities straight. To me, doing something well is more important than my comfort level while completing it. Even if you have the greatest people skills on earth, there will always be some part of a job that you don’t enjoy or doesn’t come naturally to you. To that I say the same thing: get over it, get your priorities in line and power through. When you have a job to do, it’s your responsibility to do it and do it well. Potential bosses don’t care about excuses; they care about results you produce. Overcoming any obstacle, comes down to making uncomfortable choices. You can either get a job done efficiently despite the challenges, or you can stay in your comfort zone and keep making excuses.

On the

Bright Side Give your self a real break Rachel Mitchell Contributor

It is the beginning of the end. We have just around a month of school left. I imagine your plate is completely full with school, summer plans, finals, and so many other things. Although summer may still seem far away, a month is not that long. It will creep up much faster than you think. It is really crucial at this time to start planning everything out. From meetings, to class, to scheduling time to relax and hang out with your friends. You can be overwhelmed easily and forget to give yourself a break. It can be stressful when you are trying to prepare for exams, finish up homework assignments and try to get everything set for summer or the next school year. I have a few tips that might help make your preparation for finals a little easier and less stressful. First of all once teachers start handing out finals as-

signments and presentations I put them in my planner or agenda. I write down on the date what is due and what time it is due at. So when it’s crunch time My second recommendation is to try to stop studying past a certain time. I understand this isn’t always doable, but allowing your mind and body to rest is more beneficial than frying your brain in mountains of work. You won’t do well if your body isn’t getting the rest it needs. The next thing is to have something planned to look

forward to. Whether that be a trip to kick off the summer or planning a fun night with your friends make it happen! Get other people involved so all of you can have something to look forward to. That something will help motivate you to do your best since you will be “rewarded” at the end. Even if it’s a dinner and game night with your friends make it happen. One final recommendation I have is taking breaks. Not Netflix breaks, not phone breaks. Actually letting your brain rest from studying and from a screen. I recommend planning a lunch with friends, a walk, a trip to the gym, or maybe play some volleyball or Frisbee outside. Give your body something to do that you will benefit you once you sit back down to study. Being active can relieve stress. Simply getting fresh air is a good place to start. Hopefully all or some of these will come in handy for you over the next month as school is coming to an end and finals are approaching.

Getting sleep can be easy with discipline Abigail Swanson Contributor You slowly blink back heavy lids, taking that first deep breath of the morning, reach for your phone and check the time on your lock screen. You jerk out of bed, throwing off the covers and making a beeline for the bathroom. You slept through all your alarms again, and you have class in five minutes. Sleeping in is tempting, hitting the snooze button over and over then getting ready in a flurry of movement. But having an alarm go off every ten minutes can be detrimental to your sleep quality and your alertness through the rest of the day. Rafael Pelayo, MD, a sleep specialist at the Stanford University Sleep Medicine Center bares the truth of why snoozing is bad for us. Not getting up after an alarm confuses your body. By

sleeping in after an alarm you are telling your body that it doesn’t need to get up, and doing this multiple times makes it even harder to get up when you really need to. You are basically crying wolf every time you snooze you alarm so your body doesn’t believe you when you actually need to get up. Sleeping past your usual wake up time can also throw your all-important circadian rhythm out of whack. That means it can be even harder to get up for tomorrow’s 8 a.m. class if

you sleep in till 9 a.m. today. By not consistently getting up and going to bed at the same times throughout the week, you confuse your sleep/wake cycle and can’t get to sleep or get up as easily. Binge watching is no substitute for sleep. Call it a night at roughly the same time each day, Bones will still be there in the morning (after homework, of course). Instead of setting early alarms you know you’ll never wake up to, only set one when you need to get up every day. To ensure waking up to your alarms, consider changing your alarm sound to something new that you haven’t gotten used to. Prepare as much as possible in the evening—pack a lunch, prep your clothes, put you books in your bag, you know the drill—and sleep in that saved time. We don’t all bounce out of bed every morning, but with a little discipline, we can be a little brighter and have time to brush through our bushy tails in the morning.

Indulge in the city’s cuisines Managing Editor Shannon Schneider shares the experience of trying something new on her trip to St. Louis, Missouri Shannon Schneider Managing Editor Growing up, I was the quintessential picky eater. I wasn’t as bad as a younger cousin who only ate chicken nuggets and needed her food shredded until she was well into kindergarten, but I was certainly fussy about what went on my plate. Fortunately, my palate grew with me, and I’m now able to enjoy a wider range of food than my 7-year-old self. I’m still working on learning to like a few things (shout-out to seafood), but in my food journey I’ve found the best way to discover what you like and what you don’t is through travel. When you’re on a cross-country road trip, in a foreign country or simply in a new city, the quest for new foods is an exciting one. Though we might be tempted to fall back on tried-and-true picks, the real fun comes when we allow ourselves to experiment and try city specialties. Eating in itself is fun, but letting the city take the wheel and show your appetite a good time is the way to go. I did exactly this in my recent trip to St. Louis, Missouri, last week for Sigma Tau Delta’s International Conference. When I heard St. Louis ranks as the no. 2 food city in the country, trailing behind San Francisco, my stomach did the happy dance. I already knew we were in the prime spot for good BBQ, but I found out just how well St. Louis treats foodies. To backtrack a bit, we split the 16-hour drive to Cardinals country into two days, staying in Lincoln the first night. We chose AmuManu Ramen Bar as our first pick. I had never been to a ramen-specific restaurant, so I was glad we picked a place that I hadn’t visited. I ordered the garlic shoyu, a bowl with chicken, mushroom, egg, cabbage, ginger, chicken soy broth and, of course, ramen. The garlic came in the form of mayu, a black garlic oil a hint of sesame. The combination was heavenly. The garlic oil gave it the zing I was looking for, especially paired

with ginger, but the chicken and mushroom made it a dish that I could eat day after day. It’s worth mentioning that the bowl is also enormous, meaning that after an hours’ worth of work I still didn’t make a dent. In St. Louis, the trend continued. During the two-hour lunch break between panels, we ventured into City Garden Sculpture Park to visit the food trucks lining the blocks. The choices were plentiful and ranged from Italian trucks offering chicken parmigiana sandwiches (which I got on our third day) to poke bowls, but I was particularly impressed with a pair of BBQ pork tacos I ordered. Paired with a lime-cilantro corn salad, it was a meal I won’t soon forget. I couldn’t forgo a sit-down BBQ meal while I was in St. Louis, so I was excited when our group chose The Midwesterner as our dinner pick. I indulged in a brisket sandwich paired with homemade mac and cheese, but my favorite was the house-made BBQ sauces. While a white sauce was unexpectedly tangy, the next was a conventional smoky vinegar-based sauce. The varieties meshed well with the tender brisket, and I left a very satisfied customer. A St. Louis staple, which is even believed to have been created there, is toasted ravioli. This ravioli is breaded and deep-fried to give the pasta a deep golden-brown color with a crunch. I knew I wouldn’t forgive myself if I left without trying a signature St. Louis food. I got the dish at the Hilton’s Market Bistro Bar and Grill, and once again, I wasn’t disappointed. Toasted ravioli, topped with a balsamic vinegar sauce, ringed a salad topped with mozzarella flakes that rested on a bed of garlic marinara sauce. It was true Italian soul-food. This is only a snapshot of the meals I ate during my trip, but it captures my point. Don’t be afraid to try new foods, especially if you’re in a new place with new cuisines. Some foods might not be exclusive to wherever you are, but their take on them might be. Once you take the leap, there’s no going back.

Seniors Savannah Weidauer, 21, from Pleasnt Grove, Utah, Martina Juhlin, 22, from Walthill, Colorado, and Jessica Rawlings, 23, om Kimball, starred in CSC’s Spring 2019 Seor Art Show. The art work ranged from expressive oil nd acrylic paintings, self-portraits, clay pieces nd photography to an intervention sculpture ased on the high school shootings across the S, created to make people stop and think bout society. Both two and three-dimensional eces were featured in the show. “My favorite piece was my self-portrait, ‘The olor of Her Life,’” said Weidauer said pointing a colorful and dynamic work of oil painting. Weidauer will graduate in May with a Graphic esign option. Juhlin, an Art Studio major, nominated When We All Fall Asleep” as her favorite, a ovocative, avant-garde, oil painting. Juhlin ill graduate in December with an Art Studio ajor and a minor in psychology. Rawlings, a Graphic Design major with an

option in Marketing/Entrepreneurship, named her favorite piece “Faux Mountains of Burrowers Bohemia,” a sprawling, life-like mountain sculpture reminiscent of the cave-structured living of different people. Rawlings will graduate in December with a Graphic Design option and a minor in marketing/entrepreneurship. The event attracted current students, members of the general public and former CSC students. Communication, Art, Music and Theatre professor Laura Bentz described the artists’ selection process, noting that although she may have bias she knows how difficult the choices can be. “As the instructor who worked with the artists I could be biased,” Bentz said. “But there is no denying that the students had to make tough choices in selecting the art work that would showcase their work for the past two years”. The artwork exhibited was the culmination of planning that spanned throughout the first half of the semester. Two weeks of work and coordination resulted in the reception and gallery showing. The exhibition will run from 7:30 a.m. to

A ball lands on a random number during a game of roulette at Casino Night, Thursday, in The Pit.

The chance of big winnings and big fun attracted over 140 students to the Pit Thursday for the 2019 Pit Casino Night. The event began at 9 p.m. and lasted about three hours. Each student began the night with an imaginary $300 and had the opportunity to increase their bounty in classic casino-inspired games like roulette, craps, blackjack and slots. Every participant was given a card that monitored their faux gambling, and was only to be written on and signed by the dealers. This event was sponsored by The Pit, Resident Life Association, Blue Key and Natural Sciences Club, and usually takes place in The Pit annually, according to event co-leader Konery Klueber 20, junior of Rapid City, South Dakota. “We’ve had quite the turnout tonight, it’s been pretty great.” Klueber said Participants were treated to a makeshift restaurant in The Pit, where they had choices like hamburger sliders and boneless wings

with various drink options. Over half the prizes available at the end of the night were won by the top three most successful gamblers, and half were won by drawing tickets from a bucket that students placed their names in upon entry. The ranked prizes included a 32-inch television for first place, a speaker for second, and a $50 gift card for third. The drawn prizes included smaller objects, like Tide pods and cookware sets. Prizes were awarded at 11:30 p.m., and students had to be present to claim their winnings. The Pit was heavily decorated to resemble a casino with streamers, balloons, and even pool tables turned into roulette tables. Klueber, who led the event with his brother, Lukas Klueber, 20, junior of Rapid City, South Dakota. “So Lukas and I planned a lot of it with the help of the Pit staff, and just coordinating and taking our vision and turning it into a reality. There was collaboration between all of us and making sure we got things taken care of and put the best of it on for the students.” Klueber said.

Edna RAs hosted “Movie ‘n Smoothie” night in Edna Hall’s lobby Saturday, featuring “The Incredibles 2.” RAs served smoothies to participants with three flavors: “Berry Blaster,” “Detox Rocks” and “The Brainiac.” After, participants gathered to watch “The Incredibles 2,” the 2018 sequel to “The Incredibles,” a family-friendly comedy that follows a family of superheroes. Edna RA Clinton Albertus, 25, senior of Willemstad, Curacao, said he came up with the idea after residents told him they wanted to see more events in Edna like the milkshake program, so he tried something similar. “I like listening to feedback because these programs are set up for the residents. It helps to liven up Edna,” Albertus said. “I really enjoyed the movie. I’d love to have more movie night like this,” Edna resident Manou Mbombo, 20, sophomore of the Democratic Republic of Congo, said. According to Albertus, there are three more programs to look forward in Edna this semester, including “Lobby Putt Putt,” “Create It with Play Doh” and “Cookie Bake Off.”

RLA mixes fun and exercise with Ultimate Frisbee Dinema Mate Reporter In spite of frigid weather and unexpected snow Friday night, motivated students came to the NPAC to play Ultimate Frisbee. RA Colton Alexander, 20, sophomore of Bridgewood, organized the Ultimate Frisbee tournament. Four teams of four participated in the tournament. “I always wanted to put together an event that combined both fun and exercise,” Alexander said. “It is cool that campus organized such an event. I wish that more people would come to these types of events,” Christopher Wright, 22, junior from Alliance, said. According to usaultimate.com, “Ultimate Frisbee is a contact sport that was developed in 1968 by a group of students

at Columbia High School in Maplewood, New Jersey. Combining the non-stop movement and athletic endurance of soccer with the aerial passing skills of football, the game of Ultimate Frisbee is played by two teams with a flying disc on a field with end zones, similar to football. The object of the game is to score by catching a pass in the opponent’s end zone. A player must stop running while in possession of the disc, but may pivot and pass to any of the other receivers on the field.” Joseph Keating, 21, junior of Casper, Wyoming, playing for team “Schoden,” shared his experience with playing the sport. “It was fun and intense, even though I had no experience in playing,” Keating said. “I really enjoyed it and wish RLA would come up with more physical events such as these.”

CSC cowboy leads bareback riders Brandon Davenport Sports Editor With seven rodeos under his belt this season and just three remaining before Nationals, CSC junior Kyle Bloomquist currently holds first place in bareback riding in the National Intercollegiate Rodeo Association’s Central Rocky Mountain Region standings. “The season’s gone pretty well,” Bloomquist said. “I was fortunate to win three of five (rodeos) in the fall. This spring I’ve just been playing the consistency card so hopefully we can keep that rolling here in the next couple of weekends.” The Eagles rodeo team travels to Fort Collins, Colorado, this weekend and Casper, Wyoming the weekend of Saturday, April 20, before closing out their season in

Laramie, Wyoming the weekend of Saturday, April 27. So far this spring Bloomquist has finished third in both Gillette and Torrington, but holds a 100-point lead on second place Cole Reiner of Casper College and a nearly 200-point lead on Sheridan College’s Chance Ames. Both cowboys were former teammates of Bloomquist when he rode for Sheridan College. “I’m working hard to make sure I keep (first place) and don’t lose any ground to these guys,” Bloomquist said. “They’re coming to ride this spring. It’s going to be a fun one all the way to the end.” From mid-October to midMarch as the Eagles’ rodeo team waited for the spring half of the season to begin, Bloomquist said he tried to go to the gym as much

Kyle Bloomquist as he could and has tried to eat healthier. “You put in all that work to get that high (in the standings), you just as well put in the work to stay

up that high,” he said. To make it to Nationals, Bloomquist will need to stay in the conversation with his two former teammates as the top three in the event will make the trip Casper in June. Should he qualify it will be the junior’s first trip to Nationals since qualifying his freshman year. Bloomquist said he’s excited at the notion of making Nationals again. “You’re sitting there with the best guys in the nation,” Bloomquist said of the experience. “They shut the lights off and fire up the fireworks. All it does to me is put a smile on my face and gets the blood pumping.” Bloomquist said he got the bug to ride bareback early. He was nine when he decided to rodeo.

His Dad rode bareback in high school and took part in some pro rodeos afterward. A native of Raymond, Minnesota, Bloomquist said he started to know pretty early in high school that he might make a decent bareback rider. “I knew I had the drive for it and was gifted with some pretty good talent,” he said. “It came to me pretty fast.” Bloomquist said now that he has competed at more rodeos he’s gotten to know many of the cowboys in the top 15. “I know them all by their first names and they know who I am so it makes me feel pretty good about it,” he says. “It’s something I want to do so I work hard for it and chase it.”

Former Eagle Sasse to join football as assistant coach CSC Sports Information

Former Chadron State College linebacker and graduate coaching assistant Clint Sasse will become a full-time assistant coach for the CSC football team, effective immediately, Head Coach Jay Long announced Tuesday. Sasse will coordinate special teams for the Eagles and will have linebacker coaching responsibilities as well. In addition, he will take on equipment duties. “We’re extremely excited to have Clint back in Chadron,” said Long. “His enthusiasm and passion for Chadron State is contagious, and I can’t wait to see his segments thrive on the football field.” Sasse comes to Chadron State following a brief stint at Montana Tech, where he was hired earlier this year as a fulltime defensive line coach and assistant special teams coordinator, recruiting Boise and the Montana Hi-Line area. Prior to Tech, Sasse was head football coach for two seasons at Lee Williams High in Kingman, Arizona, where he was head coach for two years and defensive coordinator for one. He

taught weightlifting and physical education classes and coordinated intramurals while employed by the school. As head coach he tutored tight end Edmond Ashton and linebacker Kael Juelfs to All-State honorable mention in 2017, followed by an All-State First Team nod for Juelfs in 2018. Juelfs later signed to play for he Eagles and will be a redshirt freshman on the team in 2019. Sasse was the coaching assistant responsible for defensive backs at Chadron State while obtaining his graduate degree in 2014 and 2015. Under his watch cornerback Jordan Jones led the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference in pass breakups as a sophomore in 2014, sophomore safety Ryan Wood made All-RMAC First Team, senior cornerback Lane Haller made Second Team, and junior safety Cole Montgomery garnered honorable mention. In 2015 Montgomery and Wood received honorable mention.

As a linebacker for the Eagles from 2009 to 2013, Sasse accumulated 119 total tackles and five tackles-for-loss for 16 yards, adding two forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries. He played in 37 games, starting 16, as CSC compiled a 31-14 record and made the 2012 NCAA Division II Playoffs. “I’m excited to be here,” said Sasse. “It’s a great honor to coach for my alma mater, my former coaches, and the team where I got my coaching start. I’m taking on a big responsibility with special teams. I was a big special teams player here and I took a lot of pride in it. The culture that Coach [Craig Jersild] Jersey has created with special teams will make this an easy transition. Already having that culture there is going to be huge. It’s nice to see all the familiar faces. This program is headed in the right direction and I’m ready to take it even further.” Sasse is a native of Martin, South Dakota, and is married to another prominent CSC athletics figure, the former Kelsy Wood. A native of Hemingford, Wood was a two-time All-American in the heptathlon and 4x400 relays for CSC track and field in 2016.
