TEXAS LUTHERAN UP CLOSE<br />
Located on a spacious and inviting<br />

AT HOME IN SEGUIN, TEXAS<br />
A vibrant community with a population of almost 25,000 nestled on the banks of the<br />
picturesque Guadalupe River, Seguin is strategically located in South Central <strong>Texas</strong> on Interstate<br />
Highway 10, and the main east-west Union Pacific rail lines. San Antonio, the 10th largest city in<br />
the United States, is 30 minutes west of Seguin via IH-10, while Austin, the state capital, is<br />
conveniently accessible 50 miles to the north by State Highway 123 and Interstate 35. The ports of<br />
Houston and Corpus Christi are nearly equal distance (160 miles) from Seguin.<br />
The beautiful Guadalupe River cuts through the city's south side. A fine public park was built<br />
alongside it, beginning during the Depression years when Seguin enjoyed its oil boom. A scenic<br />
drive lined with picnic tables shadows the river for a mile or so, flanked by an 18-hole golf course.<br />
Nearby are the fairgrounds, volleyball courts, ballparks, and a country club.<br />
Nowadays both Interstate 10 and a main line of the Union Pacific pass through the town's north<br />
side, where most manufacturing is located. Today the heart of the city is filled with fine old homes<br />
in traditional neighborhoods. And the city is ringed by contemporary residential developments as<br />
well. In addition, just outside the current city limits, hundreds of handsome riverfront homes sit<br />
along the shores of Lake McQueeney, Lake Placid, and Meadow Lake on the beautiful Guadalupe<br />
River. ■<br />

Goals of TLU <strong>Athletics</strong><br />
The <strong>Texas</strong> <strong>Lutheran</strong> University intercollegiate<br />
athletics program exists for the sake of the students at<br />
<strong>Texas</strong> <strong>Lutheran</strong> - for their growth and development.<br />
Intercollegiate athletics, operating under the<br />
principles of fair play and amateurism, provides equal<br />
opportunity for talented male and female students to<br />
participate in a nationally competitive sports program<br />
that is values-based and educationally sound.<br />
The athletics program has three goals: every<br />
student who completes his/her eligibility is expected<br />
to graduate, each sport should aspire to be<br />
competitive at the national level, and an efficient and<br />
cost-effective support system for the operation of the<br />
existing athletic program should be developed and<br />
maintained.<br />
Over the years, <strong>Texas</strong> <strong>Lutheran</strong> has excelled on the<br />
sports fields and in the classrooms producing eight<br />
national championships and numerous national<br />
academic awards by student athletes.<br />

Ann M. Svennungsen<br />
President<br />
President Ann M. Svennungsen was born and raised in<br />
Shelby, Montana. After graduating summa cum laude in<br />
mathematics from Concordia College in Moorhead, Minnesota,<br />
she received her Master of Divinity degree from Luther<br />
Seminary, St. Paul, Minnesota.<br />
Spending 22 years in pastoral ministry, Svennungsen served<br />
congregations in Iowa City, Iowa and Minneapolis, Minnesota.<br />
In 1996 she became senior pastor of Trinity <strong>Lutheran</strong> Church<br />
in Moorhead, Minnesota, a 3,700-member congregation and,<br />
at that time, the largest ELCA congregation to be led by a woman senior pastor.<br />
In 2003, Svennungsen was named president of Atlanta-based Fund for Theological<br />
Education, a national, ecumenical organization devoted to raising the next generation of<br />
excellent and diverse ministers and scholars, annually providing $1.2 million in<br />
scholarships and other support.<br />
In July, 2007, she came to Seguin where she now brings her background of leadership<br />
and scholarship to the community of <strong>Texas</strong> <strong>Lutheran</strong> University.<br />
Speaking to the role of athletics at TLU, Svennungsen notes:<br />
“I am delighted to lead a school where one third of our students participate in<br />
intercollegiate athletics and another third participate in intramurals. The experience of<br />
playing in a sport is as important as ever. In a world shaped by individualistic activities like<br />
Xbox, Tivo and net surfing, young people can spend their lives in what some call a cocoon<br />
of autonomy. We need the communal, engaging activities that athletics provide. To grow<br />
into our full selves, we need activities that require our whole being in relationship with<br />
others. So many strengths are learned on a team: dedication, team work, leadership, seeing<br />
the entire field, anticipating the opponent’s move, knowing your teammates, building them<br />
up, holding them accountable – so terrific for life and work.”<br />
Perhaps, there’s someone at TLU today who will one day be a famous sports celebrity<br />
like Verne Lundquist (Hall of Fame CBS sports commentator and TLU alumnus). But,<br />
without question, our TLU student athletes will be known in their communities for their<br />
job skills, their life skills – and for being the kind of upright, quality citizens our world so<br />
desperately needs.<br />
Svennungsen is married to Dr. William Russell, a Reformation specialist and scholar in<br />
residence in the TLU theology department. They have three children: Sarah, an attorney in<br />
Minneapolis; Mary a senior volleyball player at the University of Pennsylvania and John, a<br />
rancher at the Down Home Ranch near Elgin, <strong>Texas</strong>.<br />
Svennungsen has the distinction of being the first female president in the 118-year<br />
history of <strong>Texas</strong> <strong>Lutheran</strong> University.<br />

TLU ADMINISTRATION<br />
Bill Miller<br />
Director of <strong>Athletics</strong><br />
As director of athletics, Bill Miller has led the Bulldogs to<br />
unprecedented success in NCAA Division III athletics. After<br />
spearheading the conversion of the sports program from<br />
NCAA Division II to NCAA Division III, Miller has guided<br />
TLU <strong>Athletics</strong> to two national championships in women’s track<br />
and field (relay titles in 2007 and in 2008), 13 American<br />
Southwest Conference titles (three in cross country, two in<br />
women’s volleyball, three in baseball, two in men’s golf, one in<br />
women’s golf, one in women’s track and field, and one in men’s<br />

in Mesa, Ariz., at Mesa High School,<br />
for three seasons.<br />
Parker led TLU to a two-win improvement in 2008.<br />
TLU went 4-6 last season after opening with a 2-8<br />
campaign in 2007, Parker’s first year with the program.<br />
Parker was hired on Jan. 22, 2007 as the 22nd<br />
coach in school history.<br />
At the time of his hiring, Parker said, “I am<br />
humbled to be at a school that has produced Tommy<br />
Mueller and Jim Wacker as coaches and to be at a<br />
school that has produced players like Mike<br />
Washington, Phil Dunne and D.W. Rutledge. I am<br />
honored and grateful and excited to work at making<br />
this an exciting and meaningful time in the young lives<br />
of the TLU players.”<br />
Parker and the TLU Bulldogs won just two games in<br />
2007, but the team showed progress throughout the<br />
year as it coped with the opening-game loss of senior<br />
quarterback Joel Waldon (who returned to play in<br />
2008). Even without an experienced quarterback, the<br />
offense (with Parker calling the plays as offensive<br />
coordinator) averaged 26.1 points per game and 306.8<br />
yards of total offense per game.<br />
In Parker’s offense, then sophomore (now senior)<br />
running back Anthony Smith flourished and set TLU<br />
NCAA Division III-era records for rushing yards in a<br />
season (1,066) and all-purpose yards (1,989). Smith<br />
ended 2007 as the fifth-ranked all-purpose back in the<br />
nation.<br />
In 2008, Parker and the Bulldogs showed<br />
improvement on defense and posted three wins on the<br />
road (with victories at Sul Ross State, McMurry and<br />
Howard Payne). The Bulldogs shut out McMurry on<br />
Oct. 25 in Abilene and finished 2008 with the third-<br />

Division III program. The Bulldogs allowed nearly a<br />
touchdown per game less in 2008 than in 2007.<br />

2008, the year in which Palmer shared the inaugural<br />
ASC Sportsmanship Athlete of the Year Award for<br />
football with ZaVious Robbins of Hardin-Simmons and<br />

Honorable Mention team. Thrash, Villarreal, and Vera<br />
are key returners for the Bulldogs in <strong>2009</strong>.<br />
In the three years prior to TLU, Parker coached<br />
Mesa High School in Mesa, Ariz., to a 3-7 record in<br />
2004, a 5-5 mark in 2005 and a 7-4 record in 2006.<br />

Coaching To Change Lives and<br />
the Teaching of Character<br />
TLU Head Coach Dennis<br />
Parker is an accomplished<br />
author and public speaker. He<br />
has developed seven curricula<br />
on teaching character and has<br />
performed more than 100 inservices<br />
for training teachers in<br />
character education. Parker and<br />
his good friend (and former<br />
TLU All-American linebacker<br />
and state championship football<br />
coach for Converse Judson)<br />
D.W. Rutledge are the authors of the book “Coaching To<br />
Change Lives”.<br />
Said legendary Coach Lou Holtz: “Coach Parker has<br />
commented that he has never had a player come back to<br />
him and say, ‘Coach, I want to thank you for teaching me<br />
how to throw that football or make that tackle, it changed<br />
my life.’ But he has had many come back and say to him,<br />
‘Coach, remember that story you told and the values you<br />
taught me? They changed my life and made me a better<br />
person.’”<br />
Since the Bulldogs have been with Parker, they have<br />
been exposed to the character development curriculum of<br />
Parker and Rutledge. The Bulldogs meet regularly in a<br />
classroom setting to discuss character and to discuss ways<br />
in which characters shapes everyday decisions and<br />
outcomes.<br />
Coach Parker continues to travel around the country to<br />
speak about character development and the teaching of<br />
character.<br />
“We teach character daily,” said Parker. “Years ago I<br />
traded end of practice ‘preaching’ for the beginning of<br />
practice ‘teaching’. I know this is why we have successful<br />
with all kinds of players in very diverse settings.”<br />

<strong>2009</strong> SEASON PREVIEW BULLDOGS: BATTLING FOR THE TOP<br />
Anthony Smith<br />
Photo by Tim Clark<br />
The <strong>2009</strong> <strong>Texas</strong> <strong>Lutheran</strong> Bulldogs and thirdyear<br />
Head Coach Dennis Parker return 17 starters<br />
(seven on offense, seven on defense, and three on<br />
special teams) from a 2008 squad that went 4-6<br />
overall and 3-5 in the American Southwest<br />
Conference.<br />
Last year the Bulldogs went 3-0 in league play<br />
against the bottom three teams in the conference –<br />
Sul Ross State, McMurry and Howard Payne – but<br />
went 0-5 against the better teams in the league –<br />
with losses to ASC Champion Mary Hardin-<br />
Baylor, runner-up Hardin-Simmons, Mississippi<br />
College, East <strong>Texas</strong> Baptist and Louisiana College.<br />
In TLU’s three conference wins over McMurry,<br />
Howard Payne and Sul Ross State, TLU outscored<br />
its opponents 70-35.<br />
In the five league losses, the Bulldogs were outscored<br />
222-41. In four of those five losses, TLU<br />
failed to score more than one touchdown. And in<br />
three of those losses, opponents went over the 50point<br />
mark.<br />
In TLU’s final three games of 2008, the Bulldogs<br />
fell to Hardin-Simmons, Louisiana College and<br />
Mississippi College by final scores of 52-6, 29-7,<br />
and 52-7, respectively.<br />
Those three season-ending losses came<br />
immediately on the heels of a three-game, midseason<br />
conference win streak against Howard<br />
Payne, Sul Ross State and McMurry.<br />
The McMurry game, in particular, turned into a<br />
banner day for the TLU defense. On that sunny<br />
afternoon in Abilene, <strong>Texas</strong>, the Bulldogs<br />
dismantled the McMurry offense and posted its<br />
first shutout since the first game of the 2006<br />
season. The Bulldogs held McMurry to 26 yards of<br />
total offense and forced five turnovers in an 18-0<br />
shutout.<br />
TLU set a new school record for fewest passing<br />
yards by an opponent, holding McMurry to 21<br />
yards through the air. McMurry completed 4-of-<br />
16 passes and threw three interceptions. TLU also<br />
held McMurry without a third-down conversion<br />
(0-for-13) and limited McMurry to 46 total<br />
offensive plays. McMurry rushed 30 times for five<br />
yards.<br />
But as far as season-highlights would go, the<br />
highlights really ended there in Abilene. The<br />
Bulldogs were over-matched in home losses to<br />
Hardin-Simmons (on Homecoming) and<br />
Mississippi College and could never quite get on<br />
track in a road loss to Louisiana College.<br />
And while the team of 2008 had a senior<br />
quarterback in Joel Waldon, a smart and bruising<br />
fullback in Kyle Gillis, a play-making linebacker in<br />
Jarrad McAdams, and two savvy, talented<br />
secondary members (in Dwight Bonner and<br />
Robert Bonner – no relation), the <strong>2009</strong> team will<br />
need to do well without any of those important<br />
players from a year ago. Waldon, Gillis, and the<br />
Bonners each graduated, and McAdams chose<br />
to end his TLU football career after two<br />
seasons. The Bulldogs also must find<br />
replacements for the following departed<br />
players, who spent most of last year in the<br />
starting lineup: Justin Rose (defensive line),<br />
Kash Greathouse (wide receiver), Ernie Garcia<br />
(right tackle), Josh Jimenez (right guard), Sean<br />
Doherty (center), John Paul Bloomer (left<br />
guard), Ty Palmer (fullback), Luis Pena (left<br />
tackle), Zach Rowland (defensive back), and<br />
Josh Spaw (place-kicker).<br />
LOOKING AHEAD – WORK<br />
TO DO<br />
While the Bulldogs have some serious gaps<br />
to fill on offense and defense, the cupboard is<br />
by no means bare. All-Conference type players<br />
return on the offensive line (center Josh<br />
McNeil), at wide receiver (Steven Thrash), at<br />
running back (Anthony Smith), on the<br />
defensive line (James Villarreal and John<br />
Jackson), in the secondary (Dantrell Anderson),<br />
at linebacker (Jack Moses), and at punter<br />
(Frank Vera).<br />
But the Bulldogs’ fortunes on offense likely<br />
will rest on the play of an unproven<br />
quarterback. When Parker was asked in the<br />
preseason to name three keys to the season, he<br />
responded: “Quarterback, quarterback,<br />
quarterback.”<br />
OFFENSE<br />
QUARTERBACK<br />
TLU enters <strong>2009</strong> with several new faces at<br />
quarterback. Not one quarterback on the<br />
Bulldogs’ preseason roster has taken a varsity<br />
collegiate snap. At the top of depth chart is<br />
junior transfer Jarret Buchholtz, who comes to<br />
the Bulldogs from NAIA school <strong>Texas</strong> College.<br />
Buchholtz has seen the majority of time at<br />
quarterback in the preseason and appears likely<br />
to be the team’s opening day starter. Buchholtz,<br />
who played his high school ball at nearby<br />
Luling High School in Luling, <strong>Texas</strong>, stands 5foot-11<br />
and weighs 195 pounds.<br />
“Jarret is a transfer that came here looking<br />
for an opportunity, and he seized the moment,”<br />
said Lou Orth, TLU’s offensive coordinator.<br />
“Jarret has stepped up. He is mature and calm<br />
in his demeanor. He has a good grasp of the<br />
offense. His job right now is to operate the<br />
offense. He doesn’t have to go out and win the<br />
game by himself. He just has to go out there<br />
and manage the game. He is a smart kid<br />
excited about what we are doing.”<br />
David Jones, a 6-foot-1 and 190-pound<br />
redshirt freshman from Bruni, <strong>Texas</strong> (Bruni<br />
H.S.), is near the top of the depth chart<br />
entering the <strong>2009</strong> season. Jones took a medical<br />
redshirt in 2008 and did not see varsity action.<br />
Luke Davis (Baytown/Baytown Christian),<br />
sophomore, also will battle for the time at<br />
quarterback.<br />
“Right now, character-wise, we have three<br />
great kids at the position,” said Parker. “It all<br />
comes down to what you do when the pressure<br />
is on. What will you do when you line up and<br />
have that pressure to perform. Some people<br />
step up. The ‘adversity quotient’ is more a<br />
determinant of success than I.Q. How do you<br />
handle adversity? What will you do and how<br />
will you respond when things go wrong? We<br />
want a guy with a high ‘A.Q.’ That’s the guy<br />
that will lead our football team.”<br />
Parker said the job of preparing the Bulldogs<br />
signal-caller for <strong>2009</strong> falls to Orth.<br />
“I told Lou it is his job to develop a<br />
quarterback,” said Parker. “His success and our<br />
success are not based on good speeches and<br />
theory. It’s on how quickly and successfully we<br />
can develop a quarterback.”<br />
“If we can get to the point when our<br />
quarterback steps up and plays football, we’ll<br />
be in a great position.”<br />
RUNNING BACK<br />
Whoever wins the Bulldog quarterback job<br />
will have several experienced, offensive<br />
weapons at his disposal. At the top of the<br />
offensive talent list is senior running back<br />
Anthony Smith (Bay City/Bay City/Blinn JC). In<br />
2007, Smith (5-9, 179) rushed for a TLU DIIIera<br />
record 1,066 yards and scored a team-best<br />
66 points. He scored six rushing TDs, four<br />
receiving TDs and had a 92-yard kickoff return<br />
for a touchdown on the opening kickoff of the<br />
2007 season. That year Smith led the ASC in<br />
all purpose yards (a school-record 1,989) and<br />
finished fifth in the NCAA Division III in allpurpose<br />
yards per game (198.9).<br />
But in 2008, Smith’s production took a hit.<br />
Injuries throughout the season took their toll<br />
on Smith. He missed two games (the<br />
Homecoming loss to Hardin-Simmons and the<br />
season’s final road game versus Louisiana<br />
College), and he had just 14 total carries and<br />
five total receptions in his final two active<br />
games of the year. Yet, Smith still led TLU in<br />
rushing yards, with 444 yards on 125 carries,<br />
and he scored two touchdowns.<br />
In <strong>2009</strong>, Parker says a healthy Smith again<br />
will be called upon to do just about everything<br />
for the Bulldogs. He’ll be the feature back, a<br />
primary pass receiver, and one of the team’s top<br />
return men in the kicking game.<br />
“He is the focal point,” says Parker. “He is<br />
the best player on the team. We want it to be<br />
like always with Anthony. We’ll ask him to do<br />
everything. He might even play a little goal-line<br />
corner for us.”<br />
Senior center Josh McNeil is back with the Bulldogs. He’ll anchor the offensive<br />
line in <strong>2009</strong>.<br />

2008 SEASON PREVIEW<br />
Ralph Valdez looks for extra yardage in 2008 against McMurry. Valdez is one of<br />
several running backs expected to contribute in <strong>2009</strong>.<br />
Smith will have some talented teammates in<br />
the backfield to help in the rushing and<br />
receiving production. Quinnten Cleveland, a<br />
junior squad member from Galveston (Ball), is<br />
the projected back-up to Smith. Cleveland is a<br />
powerful down-hill runner with good strength<br />
to break through tackles and with good speed<br />
to produce some break-away runs.<br />
“Quinnten is a really smart football player,”<br />
said Orth. “He understands his assignments.<br />
He’s a strong runner with quick, thick legs. He’s<br />
a well-rounded football player excited to be<br />
playing again. He’s a good kid.”<br />
Another junior running back, Ralph Valdez,<br />
is looking to regain the form he showed in<br />
2007 when he scored four rushing<br />
touchdowns. Valdez is another tough runner<br />
that has a nose for the goal line.<br />
FULLBACK<br />
Two newcomers, Eddie Pitts and Byron<br />
Hicks, currently sit atop the depth chart at<br />
fullback. Pitts is a 5-10, 220-pound freshman<br />
from San Antonio (Madison), and Hicks is a 5-<br />
11, 220-pound freshman from Missouri City,<br />
<strong>Texas</strong> (Hightower).<br />
Converted fullback and two-year letterman<br />
Billy Hardee (5-10, 205, Houston/Marine<br />
Military Academy) is in contention for major<br />
playing time at the position. Hardee doesn’t<br />
mind contact, as his experience on special<br />
teams and at linebacker have proven over his<br />
first two seasons.<br />
OFFENSIVE LINE<br />
The offensive line received a huge lift in the<br />
offseason when senior captain Josh McNeil<br />
returned to the team for his final season.<br />
McNeil (6-0, 275, Killeen/Killeen) is a threeyear<br />
starter that saw time as a student assistant<br />
coach in 2008. He was a 2007 ASC Honorable<br />
Mention selection at center.<br />
Parker says McNeil’s return is one of the top<br />
reasons the Bulldogs will be improved as an<br />
entire team.<br />
“Josh McNeil is the leader of the football<br />
team,” said Parker. “I’ve been coaching 38<br />
years, and I’ve never had as good a leader as<br />
Josh McNeil. He leads where it is imperative to<br />
have leadership. He is a leader in practice and<br />
in the weight room.”<br />
What make McNeil so special as a center on<br />
the offensive line is his strength and leverage,<br />
says Parker.<br />
“He uses that leverage and strength so well<br />
because those were the tools he was given,”<br />
said Parker. “But the thing that is underrated<br />
about Josh is his mental toughness. The players<br />
I have had that have been successful are not<br />
necessarily the best athletes. It’s the players that<br />
refuse to lose, and Josh refuses to lose.”<br />
McNeil is the only one of the projected<br />
starting lineup to have seen regular starting<br />
duty in a Bulldog lineup. Mike Slayden (So.-<br />
1L, 6-0, 245, Helotes, <strong>Texas</strong>/O’Connor), Jerry<br />
Hill (So.-1L, 5-8, 280, Copperas Cove,<br />
<strong>Texas</strong>/<strong>Texas</strong>), Josh Goodlow (So.-1L, 6-4, 315,<br />
Austin, <strong>Texas</strong>/McCallum), and Jordan Gesch<br />
(So.-SQ, 6-3, 300, Round Rock, <strong>Texas</strong>/Round<br />
Rock) have one combined varsity start between<br />
them.<br />
Slayden will start at left tackle, with Hill and<br />
Goodlow manning left and right guard<br />
positions, respectively. Gesch is the projected<br />
starter at right tackle. The back-ups are<br />
projected as: left tackle Shawn Kaltenbach (So.-<br />
TR, 6-2, 275, Cypress, <strong>Texas</strong>/Cypress<br />
Falls/Kansas Wesleyan), left guard Jaymes<br />
Castillo (Jr.-2L, 6-4, 315, San Antonio,<br />
<strong>Texas</strong>/Lee), center Matt Cannata (Fr.-FY, 5-10,<br />
250, Richmond, <strong>Texas</strong>/Travis), right guard<br />
Daniel Villa (Fr.-FY, 5-10, 277, San Antonio,<br />
<strong>Texas</strong>/Fox Tech), and right tackle Jacob<br />
Laubach (Fr.-FY, 6-0, 225, San Antonio,<br />
<strong>Texas</strong>/Smithson Valley).<br />
TIGHT END<br />
The starting tight end is Shawn Small (Sr.-<br />
1L, 6-0, 250, San Antonio/Judson/Southwest<br />
Minnesota), who saw significant time in 2008<br />
at tight end and on special teams. Small is a<br />
strong run blocker and pass protector, and he<br />
has good hands. Look for Small to be a top<br />
target in red zone situations.<br />
“Small can stretch the field for us,” said<br />
Orth. “Having him here to help the young<br />
tackles is key. He stretches the field vertically<br />
for us. He’s a physical blocker and one of the<br />
leaders on the team.”<br />
Small’s back-up is Andrew Wueste (Jr.-2L, 6-<br />
4, 240, San Antonio/Churchill). Wueste has<br />
gone back and forth from tight end and<br />
offensive line in his first two seasons with the<br />
Bulldogs. He could go back to the offensive<br />
line if depth becomes an issue there.<br />
WIDE RECEIVER<br />
At receiver, the Bulldogs welcome ASC<br />
Second Team All-Conference selection Steven<br />
Thrash (Sr.-2L, 6-0, 190, Hubbard,<br />
<strong>Texas</strong>/Hubbard), who had a break-out year in<br />
2008. Thrash led the team in total catches<br />
(45), receiving yards (614), and touchdowns<br />
(5), and he went over 80 yards in a game on<br />
four different times (vs. Sul Ross State twice,<br />
Mary Hardin-Baylor, and Mississippi College).<br />
Thrash had 52-yard TD catch against<br />
nationally-ranked Mary Hardin-Baylor and<br />
caught a 77-yard TD pass from Joel Waldon in<br />
a home loss to Mississippi College. Thrash also<br />
had two TD receptions in a road win at<br />
Howard Payne. He finished 2008 with at least<br />
one catch in every game.<br />
“Thrash has already proven that he can be<br />
an All-ASC player, and he should do nothing<br />
but get better,” said Parker.<br />
The Bulldogs also get a welcome return from<br />
Jonathon Randle (Sr.-3L, 6-5, 200, Prairie View,<br />
<strong>Texas</strong>/Waller), who is back after a knee injury<br />
he suffered just prior to the ’08 preseason. In<br />
his last full season of competition (2007),<br />
Randle played in all 10 games and produced<br />
17 catches for 240 yards with two<br />
touchdowns.<br />
Parker says Randle’s value isn’t just measured<br />
by his statistics.<br />
“Randle is the heartbeat,” said Parker. “He<br />
pumps everybody up. It really hurt us last year<br />
when we lost him before the season. Jon is<br />
going to give us the enthusiasm and the<br />
leadership that we really need. I think he<br />
would have had a good year last year, but I<br />
think he’ll have a great year this year.”<br />
With the Bulldogs employing a three-wide<br />
set on occasion, look for Vernon Hughes, a<br />
junior transfer from <strong>Texas</strong> A&M-Kingsville, to<br />
see plenty of action and to start in the threewide<br />
set. Hughes stands 6-2 and weighs 195<br />
pounds. Hughes is a native of Jackson, Miss.<br />
“Vernon shows a lot of promise and<br />
potential,” said Orth. “He is a physical receiver<br />
with a great work ethic. He wants to do well.<br />
He is going to be in our top-five rotation of<br />
receivers.”<br />
Brian Box (So.-SQ, 5-9, 165, Beaumont,<br />
<strong>Texas</strong>/Hardin-Jefferson), Michael Soto (So.-SQ,<br />
5-8, 150, Stockdale, <strong>Texas</strong>/Stockdale), and<br />
Robert Salinas (So.-TR, 5-9, 165, McAllen,<br />
<strong>Texas</strong>/Memorial) are the projected back-ups in<br />
the three-wide set.<br />
“We have six quality receivers, and don’t sell<br />
Box or Soto short,” Parker said. “Box is the<br />
quickest kid on the football team. We have a<br />
great group of receivers overall that should<br />
make plays for us.”<br />
DEFENSE<br />
Second-year defensive coordinator Chris<br />
Castillo has settled in as the Bulldog defensive<br />
signal-caller. Castillo has liked the production<br />
in preseason that he has seen from his <strong>2009</strong><br />
Bulldogs. He notes the Bulldogs will lack some<br />
size up front, but he said there will be no<br />
shortage of hard-hitting and hustle to the<br />
football.<br />
“We’re going to run to the football and<br />
tackle better than we did last year,” said<br />
Castillo. “We have to eliminate the missed<br />
tackles and become more physical.”<br />
“We talk toughness – hitting tough, being<br />
tough for 60 minutes. We’re going to get our<br />
play-makers on the field. We know with our<br />
schedule that we’re gong to have come out and<br />
show that we have made improvements. We<br />
expect everybody to have improved in our<br />
conference. But we expect to be improved as<br />
well. There is a different level of commitment<br />
here this season. We can all sense that.”<br />
Castillo characterizes the defensive line as<br />
“undersized but aggressive and able to get off<br />
the ball well,” the linebackers as “athletic with<br />
good depth and competition at the position,”<br />
and the secondary as “very athletic, fast, but<br />
young.”<br />
DEFENSIVE LINE<br />
As in the case on offense with the fifth-year<br />
returns of Josh McNeil and Jonathon Randle,<br />
the defense received a gift of its own in the<br />
offseason when senior defensive end James<br />
Villarreal decided to take advantage of his fifth<br />
year.<br />
Villarreal decided to use his medical redshirt,<br />
obtained in his freshman season, and postpone<br />
graduation for just a few more months.<br />
Villarreal (6-1, 250, Sinton/Sinton) started nine<br />
games for TLU in 2008 (he missed one game<br />
to injury) and led the Bulldogs in tackles for<br />
loss, with nine. He also collected two sacks and<br />
forced two fumbles.<br />
“James brings senior leadership and an<br />
ability to make plays wherever he is on the<br />
field,” said Castillo. “He’ll be the 3-technique<br />
this year. He’s the guy on the front that has to<br />
be good because he is going to get singleblocked.<br />
He has to make the plays, and James<br />
is the guy that will do that for us.”<br />
At defensive end, the Bulldogs have another<br />
senior leader in starting defensive end John<br />
Jackson (Sr.-2L, 6-1, 215, Panama City,<br />
Panama/Converse Judson), who displayed<br />
flashes of brilliance in 2008. Jackson was one<br />
of 11 players from 2008 to start in all 10<br />
games en route to posting 8.5 tackles for losses<br />
of 33 yards, with 4.5 sacks for 22 yards. He<br />
had a career-best nine tackles (four solo, five<br />
assists) in the road loss to nationally-ranked<br />
Mary Hardin-Baylor.<br />
“John is a tough player and hard worker,”<br />
said Castillo. “He makes plays. He has a great<br />
get-off from the snap and a high motor on the<br />
field.”<br />
Senior Eric Walker (Sr.-2L, 6-0, 235, Los<br />
Fresnos, <strong>Texas</strong>/Los Fresnos) will start for a<br />
third year on the defensive line. He’ll get the<br />
Defensive end John Jackson (97) was a constant presence in opponents’ backfields<br />
in 2008.<br />

2008 SEASON PREVIEW<br />
Jack Moses is slated to start for a<br />
third straight season at linebacker.<br />
start at nose tackle. The fourth starter on the<br />
defensive line will be true freshman Chris Kyle<br />
(Fr.-FY, 6-0, 208, McAllen, <strong>Texas</strong>/McAllen),<br />
who gets the nod at the other defensive end.<br />
“Eric is tough,” said Castillo. “He hustles<br />
every play, and he’s the hardest worker on our<br />
defense.”<br />
Giving the Bulldogs some depth on the<br />
defensive line will be: Christopher Reyna (So.-<br />
SQ, 5-9, 225, Houston, <strong>Texas</strong>/Waltrip), Victor<br />
Espinosa (Fr.-FY, 5-11, 225, Killeen,<br />
<strong>Texas</strong>/Harker Heights), Louie Galvez (Jr.-FY, 5-<br />
8, 230, Houston, <strong>Texas</strong>/Cypress Fairbanks),<br />
Luis Flores (Fr.-FY, 6-2, 238, Monterrey,<br />
<strong>Texas</strong>/Sharyland (<strong>Texas</strong>)), and Roger Cantu (5-<br />
11, 210, So.-FY, McAllen/Memorial).<br />
LINEBACKER<br />
The linebacking unit took a hit when TLU’s<br />
2008 leading tackler Jarrad McAdams did not<br />
return for his junior season, but the Bulldogs<br />
are moving forward with a sleek unit built<br />
upon solid veterans and newcomers. Leading<br />
the group will be junior and two-year starter<br />
Jack Moses (Jr.-2L, 6-1, 215, San Antonio,<br />
<strong>Texas</strong>/Churchill). Moses played and started in<br />
all 10 games a year ago and finished third on<br />
team in total tackles, with a career-high 63. He<br />
also posted a career-best seven tackles for loss,<br />
for 33 yards in losses and recorded 2.5 sacks<br />
(for 26 yards). He hit double-digits in tackles<br />
in four different games, including a 12-tackle<br />
performance to end the year against Mississippi<br />
College.<br />
“Jack is smart, and he’s our best coverage<br />
linebacker,” said Castillo. “He can get us lined<br />
up and get us out of trouble.”<br />
Moses is being pushed in the preseason by<br />
newcomer Dan Lopez (Jr.-TR, 5-9, 200,<br />
Corpus Christi, <strong>Texas</strong>/Calallen/Bacone (Okla.)),<br />
a hard-hitting and physical linebacker that<br />
should see plenty of time on the field in <strong>2009</strong>.<br />
With Moses and Lopez competing at one<br />
outside linebacking spot, the middle linebacker<br />
position is a battle between returners Jeff Davis<br />
(Sr.-2L, 5-11, 225, Houston, <strong>Texas</strong>/Alief<br />
Hastings) and Trey Parma (So.-1L, 6-0, 220,<br />
Yorktown, <strong>Texas</strong>/Yorktown) and first-year<br />
player Jonathan Rodriguez (Fr.-FY, 6-0, 185,<br />
San Antonio/Southwest). Davis missed all of<br />
2008, and Parma earned his first varsity letter<br />
last season. Parma played in eight games and<br />
made six starts (all at linebacker) in 2008. He<br />
finished the year with career-best seven tackles<br />
against Mississippi College.<br />
At the other outside linebacker spot, Joseph<br />
Mendoza (Jr.-1L, 5-9, 195, Houston,<br />
<strong>Texas</strong>/Bellaire) and Don Gadberry (So.-1L, 5-<br />
11, 228, Dallas, <strong>Texas</strong>/Duncanville) are in a<br />
battle to start.<br />
“All the (linebacker) spots are basically up in<br />
the air,” said Castillo. “It’s a good problem to<br />
have, and we have some depth with some guys<br />
that can do some different things – whether in<br />
pass coverage or stopping the run.”<br />
SECONDARY<br />
The loss of departed seniors Robert Bonner<br />
and Dwight Bonner creates openings for new<br />
players in the secondary. Among the projected<br />
starters for <strong>2009</strong>, only safety Dantrell Anderson<br />
saw time as a starter in 2008.<br />
Anderson (So.-1L, 5-11, 185, Mobile,<br />
Alab./Cedar Hill (<strong>Texas</strong>)) is the play-maker of<br />
the unit. The starter at strong safety, Anderson<br />
displayed his speed and athletic ability a year<br />
ago when he saw significant time as a<br />
freshman. He posted a career-best 12 tackles,<br />
with three tackles for loss, in the home victory<br />
over Sul Ross State on Oct. 11. His three<br />
tackles for loss (another career high) went for<br />
13 yards and included one of his two sacks on<br />
the year. He also had seven tackles (plus a<br />
tackle for loss) in road win at Howard Payne.<br />
“We’re expecting big things in the secondary<br />
from Dantrell Anderson,” said Castillo. “He’s a<br />
big hitter and athletic. He’s around the ball<br />
quite a bit. We want our strong safety to come<br />
in the box and stop the run, or in a pass<br />
situation to play a deep half or deep third.”<br />
The starting job at free safety is a battle<br />
between two sophomores, Julio Reyes (So.-1L,<br />

Billy Hardee (41) and Emmanuel Asahene (4) were two standouts on special<br />
teams in 2008.<br />
5-10, 160, Houston, <strong>Texas</strong>/South Houston) and<br />
Devin Davis (So.-1L, 6-1, 195, San Antonio,<br />
<strong>Texas</strong>/Converse Judson).<br />
The Bulldogs will have new starting<br />
cornerbacks in Acie Washington (Fr.-TR, 6-0,<br />
200, Houston, <strong>Texas</strong>/Milby/West <strong>Texas</strong> A&M)<br />
and Leonard Durand (Fr.-RS, 5-8, 175,<br />
Galveston, <strong>Texas</strong>/Ball). Durand is a dynamic<br />
athlete that burst onto the Bulldogs’ radar in<br />
his first collegiate game a year ago. In the<br />
second game of the year, a contest played at<br />
Trinity University, Durand (playing wide<br />
receiver) hustled back to make a fumblecausing<br />
hit after a Trinity interception.<br />
Unfortunately, Durand was lost for the season<br />
with a knee injury shortly after that play and<br />
received a medical redshirt. For <strong>2009</strong>, Durand<br />
brings his speed and hard-hitting ability to the<br />
corner.<br />
Other defensive backs vying for significant<br />
playing time are: Zack Weathersby (Jr.-TR, 5-<br />
7, 165, Jackson, Miss./Forest/Mississippi<br />
College), Joshua Arce (So.-TR, 5-11, 205, San<br />
Antonio, <strong>Texas</strong>/Warren/<strong>Texas</strong> State), and<br />
Caston Boyd (So.-1L, 5-10, 170, La Marque,<br />
<strong>Texas</strong>/La Marque).<br />
SPECIAL TEAMS<br />
The special teams unit will be headed by<br />
Parker in <strong>2009</strong>. At his disposal he’ll have, in<br />
his opinion, the best punter in the conference<br />
(Frank Vera). With the Bulldogs set at punter,<br />
Parker and kicking coach Buzzy Keller need to<br />
find a starting kicker. Parker lists kicker as one<br />
of the top needs entering the season.<br />
“We’ll have the best punter in the<br />
conference, and the best kick return and best<br />
punt return in the conference,” said Parker.<br />
“And if we don’t have good performances at<br />
quarterback, we’ll need a kicker and a strong<br />
kicking game to compensate for not being as<br />
good at quarterback. The kicking game will be<br />
critical.”<br />
PUNTER<br />
Frank Vera (Sr.-3L, 5-9, 150, Laredo,<br />
<strong>Texas</strong>/Nixon) is the unquestioned starter at<br />
punter. A threat to do something special on<br />
trick plays (as a holder, punter, or wing back)<br />
with his arm or legs, Vera most importantly has<br />
improved each year as a punter. And now he<br />
clearly ranks as one of the league’s best, if not<br />
the best punter, entering ’09. After an ASC<br />
Honorable Mention selection in 2008, Vera is<br />
poised to make <strong>2009</strong> an All-ASC season (or<br />
possibly better). Vera started all 10 games again<br />
as the team’s starting punter and holder and<br />
was the team’s Special Teams Player of the Year<br />
for a second straight year after averaging 39.4<br />
yards per punt. He had a long punt of 66 in<br />
the overtime win at Sul Ross State, and he put<br />
15 punts inside the opponent’s 20-yard line.<br />
PLACE-KICKER<br />
The battle for starting kicker will come<br />
down to two freshmen - Allen Cain (Fr.-FY, 6-<br />
2, 165, San Antonio, <strong>Texas</strong>/Stevens) and Justin<br />
Guerrero (Fr.-FY, 5-11, 190, Alice, <strong>Texas</strong>/Alice).<br />
The Bulldogs need improvement from the<br />
position from the numbers put forth in 2008.<br />
The Bulldogs of last year made just four of 10<br />
field goal attempts and were just 1-for-5 in<br />
attempts over 40 yards.<br />
PUNT RETURN<br />
Punt return duties will be manned by Brian<br />
Box (So.-SQ, 5-9, 165, Beaumont,<br />
<strong>Texas</strong>/Hardin-Jefferson) and Leonard Durand<br />
(Fr.-RS, 5-8, 175, Galveston, <strong>Texas</strong>/Ball).<br />
Box and Durand, two of the fastest players<br />
on the team, could provide big boosts to a<br />
special teams unit that averaged only 5.4 yards<br />
per return a year ago.<br />
KICK RETURN<br />
Anthony Smith will anchor the kick return<br />
unit in <strong>2009</strong>. If Smith returns to his 2007 form<br />
as a kickoff returner (the year he returned 27<br />
kicks for 579 yards – an average of 21.4 per<br />
return), that type of performance would have a<br />
great impact in the Bulldogs’ overall offensive<br />
efforts. Smith has the ability to go the distance<br />
with each kickoff return. He took the opening<br />
kickoff of 2007 back 92 yards for a TD against<br />
Sul Ross State.<br />
Box, Eddie Pitts (Fr.-FY, 5-10, 220, San<br />
Antonio, <strong>Texas</strong>/Madison), and Quinnten<br />
Cleveland (Jr.-SQ, 5-9, 190, Galveston,<br />
<strong>Texas</strong>/Ball) also could see time at kick return in<br />
<strong>2009</strong>.<br />
HOLDER / DEEP SNAPPER<br />
Vera will start again as the holder, and he<br />
always poses the threat of a trick play or two<br />
from that position. Because he is a good<br />
scrambler and an able passer of the football,<br />
opposing teams in the ASC always have to<br />
keep a special eye on Vera.<br />
The deep snapping starting job will be a<br />
battle between freshman Andrew Wroth (Fr.-<br />
FY, 6-1, 160, Friendswood/Friendswood) and<br />
Billy Hardee (5-10, 205, Houston/Marine<br />
Military Academy). Hardee saw time at deep<br />
snapper last season.<br />

artist…A threat to do something special on trick plays (as a holder, punter, or wing back) with<br />
his arm or legs, Vera most importantly has improved each year as a punter. And now he clearly<br />
ranks as one of the league’s best, if not the best punter, entering ’09. After an ASC Honorable<br />
Mention selection in 2008, Vera is poised to make <strong>2009</strong> an All-ASC season (or possibly<br />
better).<br />

yards…The second TD pass against Sul Ross (coming in the first overtime) went for 23 yards<br />

the right sideline (Clouse never left the field of play following previous snap and went<br />
unnoticed by Sul Ross)…Vera twice saved the Bulldogs in the Homecoming win over Howard<br />

ABOUT THE NCAA DIVISION III<br />
<strong>Texas</strong> <strong>Lutheran</strong> began a three-year transition from NCAA Division II<br />
and the NAIA to the NCAA Division III in 1999. <strong>Texas</strong> <strong>Lutheran</strong> became<br />
a full member of the NCAA Division III for the 2002-03 academic year.<br />
During its entire membership in the NCAA Division III, <strong>Texas</strong> <strong>Lutheran</strong><br />
has been a member of the all-DIII American Southwest Conference.<br />
Colleges and universities in NCAA Division III place highest priority<br />
on the overall quality of the educational experience and on the<br />
successful completion of all academic programs. They seek to establish<br />
and maintain an environment in which a student-athlete’s athletic<br />
activities are conducted as an integral part of the student-athlete’s<br />
educational experience. They also seek to establish and maintain an<br />
environment that values cultural diversity and gender equity among<br />
their student-athletes and athletics staff.<br />
What does NCAA Division III have to offer?<br />
• Division III athletics offers student-athletes the opportunity to<br />
become well-rounded individuals who successfully integrate<br />
athletics and academics. Student-athletes are integrated into the<br />
student body, and they experience the full range of college life.<br />
• Division III athletics departments place special importance on the<br />
impact of athletics on the participants rather than on the<br />
spectators. The student-athlete’s experience is of paramount<br />
concern.<br />
• Division III athletics feature athletes who receive no financial aid<br />
related to their athletic skills and athletic departments that are<br />
staffed and funded like any other department in the university.<br />
• Division III athletics encourages the development of sportsmanship<br />
and positive social attitudes. Coaches and players treat each other<br />
with respect, and administrators work to foster a positive<br />
competitive environment.<br />
• Division III athletics is committed to providing equitable athletics<br />
opportunities for both genders and gives equal emphasis to men’s<br />
and women’s sports.<br />
• Division III athletics encourages participation by maximizing the<br />
number and variety of athletics opportunities available to studentathletes,<br />
placing primary emphasis on regional in-season and<br />
conference competition.<br />

the famous 15 lateral play that defeated<br />

Pontiac Game Changing Performance of the<br />
Year.<br />
Josh Hooten, another veteran of the 15 lateral<br />
play, is back for his senior year. Hooten is the<br />
only returning starter on the offensive line.<br />
Caleb Urban, brother of Arizona Cardinals WR<br />
Jerheme Urban, is back for his senior year as<br />
well.<br />

FOCUS ON THE TIGERS<br />
Building Experience<br />
Before he ever called a single play as head<br />
coach of the ETBU Tigers, Mark Sartain knew<br />
the biggest obstacle facing the program had<br />
nothing to do with schemes, recruiting, or a lack<br />
of talent.<br />
The ETBU coaching staff's top priority the first<br />
two years can best be described as player development<br />
-- meaning, taking a young football<br />
player and watching him grow up before their<br />
very eyes.<br />
That two-year labor of rebuilding has produced<br />
one of the largest groups of returning lettermen<br />
in the 10-year history of the program, and that<br />
experience factor is a key strength of the <strong>2009</strong><br />
Tigers.<br />
The Tigers had 61 players in camp who were in<br />
the program last fall. Of those 61, 35 are either<br />
juniors or seniors, giving ETBU one of the largest<br />
groups of upperclassmen in the 10-year history<br />
of the program.<br />

Experience<br />
“The biggest difference in <strong>2009</strong> will be that we<br />
will have experience on both sides of the ball,”<br />
said Howard Payne Head Coach Steve Fanara,<br />
who enters his second season with the Yellow<br />
Jackets. “We lost a few games that were one or<br />
two score games. The real key for us is to eliminate<br />
the mental mistakes that have prevented<br />
us from closing the gap.”<br />
On the type of game performance Fanara would<br />
like to have from the Yellow Jackets, he said:<br />
“We must improve on both rushing the football<br />
and stopping the run. We want to achieve more<br />
of a balance on offense and allow our defense<br />
to be fresh and finish games.”<br />
On what the off-season has meant to his program,<br />
Fanara said: “Our guys have had a great<br />
off-season and believe in what we are doing<br />
now. The work ethic has been tremendous and<br />
we are just anxious to get back on the field.”<br />

JACKSON STADIUM<br />
ALPINE, TEXAS<br />
FOCUS ON THE LOBOS<br />
Remembering<br />
Swearington<br />
The Lobos’ 2008 offensive unit, starting seven<br />
freshmen and led by sophomore quarterback<br />
Monte Morales (Marfa), averaged 278 yards per<br />
game, 159 on the ground. Freshman Jermaine<br />
Swearington (Odessa Permian) gained 909 yards<br />
in nine contests, averaged six yards per carry<br />
and scored 10 touchdowns.<br />
Coaches of Swearington, a former Permian<br />
Panther who was shot and killed at a night club<br />
in Midland in January, <strong>2009</strong>, remember him as<br />
a stellar athlete who was trying to get his life<br />
back on track through football after serving a<br />
three-and-a-half year prison sentence.<br />
When Swearington suited up, he quickly made<br />
an impact for the Lobos despite not having<br />
played the game for five years. Swearington<br />
ended up with 909 rushing yards and 10 touchdowns<br />
on 151 carries, earning him First Team<br />
American Southwest Conference honors as a<br />
freshman.<br />
"All the progress this young team made does<br />
not show up on the scoreboard," said<br />
Schroeder. "If these student-athletes continue<br />
this level of commitment and cohesiveness, I<br />
am very optimistic about the future."<br />

FOCUS ON THE UIW<br />
Santiago Builds<br />
Program<br />
Mike Santiago came to San Antonio in late May<br />
of 2007 saying he had always wanted to coach<br />
football at a Catholic university and along with<br />
that he had dreamed of starting a football program<br />
at the collegiate level. When he was<br />
offered and accepted the Incarnate Word position,<br />
he knew what he was getting just maybe<br />
he didn’t know what he was getting into.<br />
Over the first 12 months at UIW, he often was<br />
heard saying “be careful what you wish for…”.<br />
And so, after weeks of rushing from a recruiting<br />
meeting to a session about the Gayle and Tom<br />
Benson Stadium construction project to another<br />
gathering concerning budgeting or admissions or<br />
maybe purchasing of equipment, Mike Santiago<br />
was dreaming of “coaching football players.”<br />
In February of 2008 Incarnate Word announced<br />
its first-ever recruiting class and on that first signing<br />
day the Cardinals inked 27 players. And it was<br />
about that same time ground was broken on the<br />
Benson Stadium on campus and over the ensuing<br />
six months Coach Santiago, make that<br />
Construction Consultant Mike Santiago, was everpresent<br />
as the stadium rose from the ground<br />
along side the 16,000-square foot fieldhouse.<br />

FOCUS ON MCMURRY<br />
Mumme to McMurry<br />
McMurry University’s football program has been<br />
in desperate need of an overhaul, and the university<br />
believed that Hal Mumme would be the<br />
man to create the change needed to a program<br />
that has just three winning seasons since 1994.<br />
Mumme welcomed 97 players to campus in<br />
preparation for the <strong>2009</strong> season.<br />
Mumme, the highly touted offensive coach and<br />
originator of the Air Raid offense that many of<br />
the big-time schools in the NCAA Division I are<br />
running including <strong>Texas</strong> Tech, came to McMurry<br />
as head coach in April.<br />
Mumme said that his initial meeting with the<br />
players would have a simple message, and the<br />
same one that he’s given for 20 years.<br />
“Give an honest effort, be loyal to your teammates,<br />
and communicate,” Mumme said. “We<br />
have one rule: Don’t hurt the team. There are<br />
three things that will get you automatically dismissed<br />
from our program: drugs, beating up<br />
someone weaker than you, and stealing. And as<br />
far as football goes, the most important play is<br />
the next play. Play the next play.”<br />

Simmons football program over the 20 years of<br />
the Jimmie Keeling era it would have to be consistent.<br />
The Cowboys have an average record of<br />
8-2 in the first 19 years of the program. HSU<br />
has won 10 conference titles and have been to<br />
the playoffs 11 times.<br />
The Cowboys have high expectations for this<br />
season and for those to become reality HSU will<br />
have to get through conference foe and recent<br />
nemesis Mary Hardin-Baylor at least once and<br />
probably twice on the road to Salem. The Cru<br />
have beaten the Cowboys seven straight times<br />
and nine of the last 10 meetings. Last year, the<br />
Cowboys lost a pair of heartbreakers in Belton,<br />
including one on a last-second field goal in the<br />
playoffs.<br />
A win in the regular season would keep a<br />
record of program pride in the Cowboy locker<br />
room. HSU holds the American Southwest<br />
Conference record for most consecutive ASC<br />
wins with 34. The Cru has won 29 in a row<br />
going into the season.<br />

Riding with Rideaux<br />
Louisiana College junior kick/punt return man<br />
and wide receiver Jordan Rideaux (Carencro,<br />
LA/CHS) has been picked as the ASC's Preseason<br />
Special Team's Player of the Year.<br />
Rideaux, who was a first team All-ASC selection<br />
last season, led the league with a 9.8-yard average<br />
on punt returns last year en route to being<br />
named special teams player of the year. He also<br />
returned kicks and played wide receiver, leading<br />
the ASC in all-purpose yards (1,501).<br />
LC was the fifth pick in the ASC Preseason<br />
Football Poll. LC's fifth place slot is somewhat<br />
surprising given that LC finished 7-3 overall and<br />
tied for third in league play with a 5-3 overall<br />
record.<br />
Also, LC is 12-3 over the last season-and-a-half.<br />
The Wildcats return six starters on offense and<br />
defense. Also, some key transfers should make a<br />
heavy impact for them this season.<br />

Shaffer On Radar<br />
Mississippi College senior quarterback Adam<br />
Shaffer has been tabbed by Mississippi Sports<br />
Magazine as one of the top 5 preseason candidates<br />
for the <strong>2009</strong> Cellular South Conerly Trophy<br />
award.<br />
The Conerly Trophy began in 1996 and is given<br />
out each year to the top college football player<br />
in Mississippi during the regular season. The trophy<br />
is voted on by 60 media representatives<br />
from across Mississippi. All players at four-year<br />
colleges in Mississippi are eligible.<br />
Shaffer, a former Jackson Academy standout,<br />
missed most of last season with a knee injury<br />
following a record-setting season in 2007.<br />
Shaffer passed for a school record 3,497 yards<br />
and 31 touchdowns in '07, leading the<br />
Choctaws to an 8-2 record.<br />
Shaffer also missed the 2006 season with a<br />
knee injury. Despite the lost time on the field,<br />
the 2008 ASC Preseason Offensive Player of the<br />
Year is on pace to reset the MC career passing<br />
record book with a solid season this year.<br />

James Villarreal (51) led the Bulldogs in tackles for loss during the 2008 season.<br />
Villarreal started for a second consecutive season at defensive end.<br />
The <strong>Texas</strong> <strong>Lutheran</strong> Bulldogs of 2008 improved upon<br />
2007’s 2-8 mark by producing a 4-6 overall record with a<br />
3-5 mark in the American Southwest Conference. The<br />
Bulldogs finished sixth in the nine-team ASC, placing<br />
ahead of the three teams it beat in conference play (Sul<br />
Ross State, Howard Payne and McMurry).<br />
The Bulldogs, under second-year head coach Dennis<br />
Parker, struggled against the top teams of the ASC. The<br />
Bulldogs fell 52-6 to No. 12 Hardin-Simmons in the TLU<br />
Homecoming game, 63-7 to No. 3 Mary Hardin-Baylor in<br />
Belton, and 52-7 in Seguin to Mississippi College.<br />
The Bulldogs also fell 24-0 on the road in a nonconference<br />
game to No. 22 Trinity and dropped<br />
conference games against East <strong>Texas</strong> Baptist (26-14 in<br />
Seguin) and against Louisiana College (29-7 in Pineville,<br />
La.).<br />
Two of TLU’s four wins in 2008 came against Sul Ross<br />
State. The Bulldogs prevailed in overtime in Alpine 34-27<br />
in a non-conference game on Sept. 6. TLU then captured<br />
the conference contest on Oct. 11 with a 24-14 victory at<br />
Matador Stadium.<br />
In the OT win in Alpine, the Bulldogs overcame a 13point<br />
deficit in the fourth quarter and defeated the Lobos<br />
34-27. Joel Waldon’s 2-yard quarterback keeper in the<br />
first overtime gave TLU its first lead since the third<br />
quarter, and the Bulldog defense stopped Sul Ross State<br />
on four consecutive plays inside the 10-yard line to<br />
complete the comeback victory. Waldon’s scoring run was<br />
set-up by Anthony Smith’s 23-yard rush down to the Sul<br />
Ross 2.<br />
The Bulldogs forced overtime by scoring 13 points in<br />
the fourth quarter. The Bulldogs put together two sterling<br />
drives in the final frame. First, the Bulldogs capped a 9play,<br />
80-yard drive with a 21-yard scoring run by redshirt<br />
freshman Chris Freeman.<br />
Then, after the defense forced a punt, TLU drove 81<br />
yards in 13 plays for the tie. Kyle Gillis scored the tying<br />
TD on a 4-yard TD pass from Waldon. Gillis took the<br />
pass at the 4-yard line and rumbled into the end zone<br />
behind a wall of blockers. The play appeared to be a<br />
modified version of the traditional “swinging gate” play.<br />
In the home win over the Lobos, <strong>Texas</strong> <strong>Lutheran</strong><br />
freshman safety Mark Alvarado returned an interception<br />
75 yards for a touchdown to stop a potential game-<br />
2008 SEASON IN REVIEW<br />
winning drive for Sul Ross State and to secure a 24-14<br />
win for the Bulldogs.<br />
At Seguin’s Matador Stadium, TLU held a three-point<br />
edge (17-14) over Sul Ross State as Sul Ross drove into<br />
TLU territory. The Lobos had a 1st-and-10 from the TLU<br />
22 before the Bulldog defense stiffened and forced Sul<br />
Ross QB Monte Morales into his third interception of the<br />
night.<br />
Alvarado’s interception came on 4th-and-20 for Sul<br />
Ross State from the TLU 32. Alvarado picked off the pass<br />
at the TLU 25 and scurried up the Sul Ross State sideline,<br />
picking up two key blocks from his teammates on his<br />
way to the endzone.<br />
TLU’s two other conference wins came on the road.<br />
The Bulldogs started a three-game midseason win streak<br />
on Oct. 4 with a 28-21 win in Brownwood over Howard<br />
Payne. The Bulldogs withstood a fourth-quarter rally by<br />
the Yellow Jackets. TLU senior quarterback Joel Waldon<br />
threw the game-winning touchdown to Steven Trash at<br />
the 6:21 mark of the fourth quarter. The pass to Thrash<br />
went for nine yards and capped a six-play, 55-yard drive.<br />
The winning drive was kept alive by a 3rd-and-7<br />
completion of 42 yards from Waldon to Anthony Smith.<br />
Smith motioned out of the backfield and caught the pass<br />
near the HPU 17 and stumbled down to the HPU 10.<br />
After the home win over Sul Ross State made it two<br />
TLU wins in a row, the Bulldogs headed to Abilene for a<br />
match-up against the winless McMurry football team.<br />
The Bulldogs held McMurry to 26 yards of total offense<br />
and forced five turnovers in an 18-0 shutout at Wilford<br />
Moore Stadium in Abilene. TLU won its third consecutive<br />
game and moved to 4-3 overall and to 3-2 in the<br />
American Southwest Conference. McMurry lost its 11th<br />
game in a row (dating back to the end of the 2007<br />
season) and dropped to 0-8 overall and to 0-6 in the<br />
ASC.<br />
The shutout for TLU was its first since a 45-0 defeat of<br />
Austin College on Sept. 2, 2006 in Seguin. TLU set a new<br />
school record for fewest passing yards by an opponent,<br />
holding McMurry to 21 yards through the air. McMurry<br />
completed 4-of-16 passes and threw three interceptions.<br />
The old TLU record for fewest passing yards by an<br />
opponent was set in 1974 against Trinity. The Bulldogs<br />
held the Tigers to 25 passing yards in a 37-0 victory.<br />
TLU held McMurry without a third-down conversion<br />
(0-for-13) and limited McMurry to 46 total offensive<br />
plays. McMurry rushed 30 times for five yards.<br />
The Bulldogs recorded eight tackles for loss, resulting<br />
in 43 yards in losses. The Bulldogs also picked up five<br />
sacks (for 40 yards), recovered two fumbles, tallied 84<br />
interception return yards and broke up four passes.<br />
At the conclusion of the regular season, TLU senior<br />
tight end Ty Palmer shared the inaugural ASC<br />
Sportsmanship Athlete of the Year Award for football with<br />
ZaVious Robbins of Hardin-Simmons and Brannon<br />
Willisson of Mississippi College after a vote of the league’s<br />
nine head coaches.<br />
Palmer, Robbins, and Willisson were announced as<br />
the sportsmanship winners along with the naming of the<br />
2008 ASC All-Conference Football Teams. Palmer was<br />
honored along with six of his Bulldog teammates in the<br />
conference announcement.<br />
Five Bulldogs – senior offensive lineman John Paul<br />
Bloomer, senior defensive end James Villarreal, senior<br />
defensive back Dwight Bonner, junior wide receiver<br />
Steven Thrash and sophomore linebacker Jarrad<br />
McAdams – were named to the All-ASC Second Team.<br />
Junior punter Frank Vera took a spot on the All-ASC<br />
Honorable Mention team.<br />
Villarreal led the team in tackles for loss (9.0 for 29<br />
yards) and finished 2008 with 36 total tackles, two sacks,<br />
and two forced fumbles. Villarreal started two seasons at<br />
defensive end and led the team in tackles for loss in 2007<br />
as well. He has 21 career tackles for loss (tied for seventh<br />
in the TLU career list for the NCAA Division III era).<br />
Bonner led the team in interceptions, with four, and<br />
finished second on the team in tackles, with 68. Bonner,<br />
who played cornerback and safety in his four years as a<br />
Bulldog, tied for the TLU DIII-era lead in career<br />
interceptions with 16. He set the school DIII-era record<br />
for interception return yardage at 238. Bonner collected<br />
191 total tackles in his four years. He is fourth on the<br />
school DIII-era tackle list.<br />
In his first year as an every-game starter, Thrash led<br />
the team in scoring (30 points), reception yards (614),<br />
receiving touchdowns (5), total receptions (45), and<br />
reception yards per game (61.4). Thrash had a career-best<br />
touchdown reception of 77 yards in the season-ending<br />
contest against Mississippi College.<br />
McAdams led the team in tackles, with 70, and added<br />
six tackles for 20 yards in losses, a sack, two<br />
interceptions, two forced fumbles, a fumble recovery, and<br />
a blocked kick. McAdams started all 10 games for the<br />
Bulldogs.<br />
Vera started for the second season as the team’s punter.<br />
He punted 55 times for 2,167 yards (an average of 39.4<br />
yards per punt). He improved his punting average by<br />
nearly three yards per punt from the 2007 season. In<br />
2008, Vera had a career-long punt of 66 yards and placed<br />
15 punts inside the opponent’s 20-yard line.<br />
Palmer was also the male recipient of the 2008-09<br />
American Southwest Conference Fred Jacoby<br />
Sportsmanship Award, the conference office announced<br />
after a vote of the league’s directors of athletics. The ASC<br />
Fred Jacoby Sportsmanship Award honors male and<br />
female student-athletes who best display the attributes of<br />
sportsmanship, leadership, citizenship and academic<br />
integrity in their athletic, academic and life pursuits.<br />
A four-year letterman and three-year starter in football,<br />
Palmer was a 2007 ESPN The Magazine Academic All-<br />
District VI First Team selection, a three-time ASC<br />
Academic All-Conference selection, the 2008-09 TLU<br />
Male Scholar-Athlete of the Year, and the 2008-09 TLU<br />
Male Community Service award winner. He finished his<br />
bachelor’s degree with a GPA of 3.8.<br />

The National Championships<br />
1974 and 1975<br />
T<br />
78<br />
he record books, the TLU Hall of Fame<br />
inductees and the two national championship<br />
trophies all validate the claim that the 1974<br />
and 1975 Bulldog football teams are the best<br />
squads the school has ever produced. Blessed with an<br />
impenetrable defense, a quick-strike offense and a<br />
dashing and innovative head coach, the Bulldogs<br />
stormed to back-to-back national titles and in the<br />
process re-wrote record books and etched themselves<br />
forever in school history.<br />
Led by Head Coach Jim Wacker, <strong>Texas</strong> <strong>Lutheran</strong><br />
embarked on a magical run in 1974 with its first of<br />
six shutouts coming in a 30-0 rout of Tarleton State.<br />
For the Bulldogs, the average margin of victory in<br />
1974 was 36 points. In that season, the Bulldogs<br />
scored 421 points (still the TLU mark for points in a<br />
season) and allowed only 44 (another active school<br />
record). Twenty-nine NAIA Division II records fell in<br />
the 1974 championship game, a 42-0 blowout<br />
victory over Missouri Valley.<br />
Of the 15 team records in the school record book,<br />
the 1974 team holds seven of the marks. In addition<br />
to the season scoring and season defense records, the<br />
1974 ‘Dogs set the standards for season rushing<br />
yardage (3,610), total offense (5,020), rushing yards<br />
allowed per game (65.6), and total yards allowed per<br />
game (172.5).<br />
Although not as prevalent in the records books as<br />
the 1974 squad, the 1975 Bulldogs accomplished<br />
what no other NAIA team to that date had done -<br />
repeat as a national champion. The ‘75 team averaged<br />
285.2 rushing yards per game and limited opponents<br />
to just 111.3 yards a game. Pass defense was a<br />
specialty of the ‘75 squad, which still holds the school<br />
record for fewest passing yards allowed per game<br />
(125).<br />
In the 1975 NAIA Championship Game, the<br />
Bulldogs rolled to a 34-8 victory. Quarterback Mike<br />
Washington accounted for three of the Bulldogs’<br />
scores. He scored on a 60-yard run and threw two<br />
touchdown passes to Brock Kalmbach.<br />
Of all the players and coaches on the 1974 and<br />
1975 teams, those now enshrined in the TLU Hall of<br />
Honor are: Washington, Wacker, Offensive Line<br />
Coach Verl “Jiggs” Westergard, Secondary Coach Ray<br />
Katt, defensive tackle Phil Dunne, defensive back<br />
Kevin Ott, fullback David Wehmeyer, and linebacker<br />
D.W. Rutledge.<br />

The head coach in <strong>Texas</strong> <strong>Lutheran</strong>’s<br />
1974 and 1975 NAIA title runs was<br />
the great Jim Wacker. With boundless<br />
energy and enthusiasm, Wacker and<br />
his staff (including current TLU head<br />
coach Tom Mueller) built the Bulldogs<br />
into a small college power. In his time<br />
with the Bulldogs, Wacker coached<br />
<strong>Texas</strong> <strong>Lutheran</strong> to a 38-16 mark and a<br />
record of 28-5 in his final three<br />
seasons in Seguin. Wacker holds the<br />
school record for best career winning<br />
percentage among football coaches (at<br />
.704). He shares, with volleyball coach<br />
Susan Duke, the <strong>Texas</strong> <strong>Lutheran</strong> mark<br />
for most national titles won, with two.<br />
The Bulldogs of the Wacker era set<br />
numerous school records for career,<br />
season and single-game feats. Today,<br />
23 records from those Wacker squads<br />
still stand, including a school-record<br />
17-game winning streak that stretched<br />
from 1973 to 1975. Wacker’s Bulldogs<br />
were also prominent members of<br />
several All-America squads. Walter<br />

Honor plaque describes<br />
Mike Washington as,<br />
“One of the most gifted<br />
athletes ever to play for<br />

bold, but entirely accurate,<br />
statement for the player who<br />
guided the Bulldogs to back-toback<br />
national championships in<br />
1974 and 1975 and to a national<br />
semifinal appearance in 1976.<br />

At the end of Washington’s<br />
collegiate career, <strong>Texas</strong> <strong>Lutheran</strong><br />
retired the No. 10 jersey as a sign of<br />
appreciation for his contributions to<br />
Bulldog athletics. The Bulldogs’<br />
offensive player of the year award is<br />
now called the “Mike Washington<br />
Most Valuable Player Award.”<br />
“Mike is the finest athlete I’ve ever<br />
coached,” said Jim Wacker,<br />
Washington’s coach at <strong>Texas</strong><br />
<strong>Lutheran</strong>. “He was the most exciting<br />
veer quarterback I’ve ever seen play<br />
the game. He was undoubtedly the<br />
catalyst for our two national<br />
championships. It was a great<br />
privilege to have coached such a fine<br />
young man. He was truly an<br />
outstanding competitor.”<br />
