only Kelling in hits.
Burk's assistant coach for

For the coaches and the
players, the season was a continual
roller-coaster ride. Just
when things seemed on their
way up, when the team
looked polished and ready to
run over everyone in their
path, an injury or close loss
would derail their hopes and
blight their chances for the
MWAC playoffs. When the
wild ride had finally ended,

and a bit dazed from the long,
emotional season. And while
four other conference teams
were opening the first round
of post-season playoffs, Idaho
found itself on the outside
looking in.
