SEASON PREVIEW

The 2009 football campaign will begin much like each of the lastseven football seasons -- with Grand Valley State ranked #1 in thecountry. The Lakers have opened each of the last eight years rankednumber one in a preseason poll. In four of the seven previous yearsthat GVSU opened the year number one, they have gone on toclaim the NCAA DII National Championship (2002, 2003, 2005,2006).

Grand Valley State is 94-6 in its last 100 games and 109-11 since2000. The 2009Laker seniorclass is 38-2overall, 31-0 inregular seasonaction and 29-0in GLIAC ac-tion. However,the 2009 seniorclass is not over-joyed with a 3-2playoff recordthe last twoyears.

“The 2009senior class was

a part of the 2006National Championship and they have won three straight GLIACtitles, but I know they don’t feel like they have performed to thebest of their abilities the last two years in the playoffs,” said sixth-year head coach Chuck Martin. “I know that the result of our lastgame (19-13 double overtime loss to Minnesota-Duluth in theSuper Region 3 title game) has not sat well with our coaches andplayers. No one associatedwith our football program hasforgot about that game, norshould they,” said Martin.

Offense

The Lakers return 21 letter-men and nine players that havestarted games on offense overthe last three years. GVSUwill get the services back oftwo receivers (Mike Kosterand Ryan Bass) that missedthe 2008 season. In addition,the Lakers return 2,790 rush-ing yards, 2,408 passing yardsand 1,555 receiving yards forthe 2009 season.

Quarterback

Senior Brad Iciek entershis senior year with a 23-2record as a starting quarter-back. Iciek, who is a two-timefinalist for the Harlon HillAward, threw 2,252 yards and31 TDs despite playing under

three quarters in seven of 12 games a year ago. Iciek heads into hissenior year with 5,267 passing yards and 63 TD passes. Junior Mar-quel Neasman will serve as Iciek’s backup and has gained valuableexperience the last two years. A host of freshman will battle to makean impression for the future.

“Brad has been outstanding the last two years in every facet ofthe game,” said Martin. “He managed the game and did everythingwe asked within the framework of our offense. He was able to getus in the proper play prior to the snap and then he did an outstand-ing job of getting the ball where it needed to be after the snap.”

running backs

Grand Valley State returns itstop eight ground gainers fromthe 2008 season. Junior JamesBerezik rushed for 1,403 yardsand 15 TDs en route to beingnamed the GLIAC OffensiveBack of the Year. Berezik alsohauled in 30 receptions for 445yards and five TDs. SeniorBlake Smolen earned All-GLIAC honors after rushingfor 639 yards and catching 28 passes for a team-high 636 yards.Senior P.T. Gates is a threat every time he touches the ball and nowhas a year under his belt in the Laker offense. Sophomore LawrenceKimble and redshirt freshman Erik Thompson will battle for carriesin the Laker running game.

“I am pleased with where we are at the running back position,”said Martin. “We have a number of options in terms of combina-tions that we can put on the field. I also feel that we have a numberof different styles among our stable of running backs. We are at ourbest offensively when we are able to run the ball and we have alwayswanted to be balanced inour offensive attack.”

Wide receivers

The Laker receiving unitwill get back the servicesof two key performersthat missed the 2008 cam-paign. Junior Ryan Basswas injured in the Lakers’first game, while juniorMike Koster missed theseason due to academics.Smolen will split time be-tween running back andreceiver, while giving op-ponents fits in terms ofmatchups. Smolen led thesquad in receiving yards(636) and ranked third incatches (28) with seven TDs. Seniors Cameron Bradford is a phys-ical receiver that turned into one of the top blockers among theLaker wideouts, while fellow senior Jahan Jones is probably thefastest among Laker wideouts. Carlos Clark will push for increasedplaying time and sophomore Greg Gay caught 13 passes for 163

“We have gone a lot of ques-tion marks a year ago, to a lot ofoptions heading into the 2009season,” said Martin. “We havenine players that have played alot of football in the receivingrotation.”

tight ends

GVSU will be light on experi-ence at tight end heading into 2009. Junior Tony Carreri and soph-omore Andrew Lorman have no starts and three combined catches

between them. However, the duoturned in a solid spring and headinto the season with high hopes.Sophomore Ian Evans will spendtime at tight end and provide asolid blocker, while junior WillNapier and redshirt freshmanTyler Moran will provide soliddepth.

Offensive Lineman

Most coaches would fret over losing three offensive line startersand two experienced tight ends. However, few teams have the qual-ity of experience returning that the Lakers offer up front. SeniorNick McDonald returns as one of the top offensive tackles in thecountry and will be a candidate for postseason honors. JuniorCameron Bradfield started all 12 games at right tackle in 2008 andwill provide the Lakers withstellar bookends on the offen-sive front. Junior James Hardywill step in for All-AmericanBilly Eisenhardt at center. Ten-nessee transfer Darris Sawtelleis slotted for left guard, whilejunior John Godush will openthe season at right guard. Red-shirt freshman Tim Lelitoshould be ready to go early inthe season after missing mosthalf of spring practice with aninjury. Junior Joey Teague,sophomore Mark Morrison andredshirt freshmen AndrewBiedenbender and Matt Arm-strong will battle for playingtime and provide stellar depth.

“I like our combination of ex-perience and youth on the of-fensive line. We have gooddepth, but I don’t know if youcan ever have enough depth on the offensive line,” said Martin.

defense

Grand Valley State re-turns 21 letterwinnersand nine starters on de-fense, including a host ofplayers that could garnerpostseason honors. In ad-dition, the Lakers returntheir top six tacklers.

defensive Line

The Laker defensiveline returns preseasonall-america candidateDanny Richard. Richardled the team in tackles for loss with 17.0 (-83), while ranking secondin total tackles (60) and QB sacks (8.0).

Gilde tallied30 tackles and 7.0 tackles forloss, while Andre Thomaschipped in 23 tackles and 6.0TFL. Gawronski andLawrence each recorded 19tackles. Sophomore transfersQuintin Patilla (Michigan) andRyan Wheat (Michigan State)will make significant impactsfor the Lakers on the defensefront. Sophomore Blair Hollisplayed linebacker a year ago,but has moved down and should see a significant amount of playingtime.

“Much like the offensive line, I don’t think you can ever haveenough depth on the defensive line,” said Martin. “I like the playersthat we will line up with and I feel that this might be one of the mostathletic defensive lines that we have put on the field in a few years.”

Linebackers

The Lakers return two All-GLIAC performers and allthree starting linebackers fromthe 2008 season. In addition,GVSU will get the services ofJordan Munson back for the2009 campaign. SophomoreBrad Howard led the Lakers intackles with 77, while juniorJustin Victor ranked second intotal tackles with 60. Gary An-derson started all 12 games andrecorded 51 tackles.

SEASON REVIEW

The 2008 Grand Valley State foot-ball season certainly didn’t end theway everyone associated with Lakerfootball wanted. GVSU had won 15straight NCAA Division II home play-off games and looked to run that streakto 16 versus the Minnesota-DuluthBulldogs. However, a solid perform-ance by UMD and an uncharacteristicmistake and turnover filled perform-ance by Grand Valley State resulted ina 19-13 double overtime win for theBulldogs. Three turnovers, threemissed field goals and untimely mis-takes cost the Lakers dearly in the end.Grand Valley State finished the 2008campaign with an 11-1 record. Al-though the postseason didn’t end theway the Lakers would have liked,Grand Valley State turned in manygreat performances during the 2008campaign. The Lakers claimed theirfourth straight undefeated regular sea-son and their fourth straight unde-feated GLIAC campaign. The Lakershave won 40 straight GLIAC gamesand 42 straight regular season games.

The Lakes rolled through the firstseven games of the season, winning byan average scored of 41.7 - 8.5. TheLaker offense scored 40 or more pointsfour times and shutout two opponents.Game eight saw Ashland build a 36-21lead over the Lakers, but 27 unan-

swered points in just over a quarter ofaction in the second half gave GVSU a48-36 lead en route to a 48-42 win. Tworoad wins to end the year set the Lakersup with a home field advantage in thefirst round of the NCAA DII Playoffsversus those very same Eagles that gavethe Lakers fits just three weeks earlier.However, this game shaped up to benothing like the first meeting as GVSUbuilt a 24-0 halftime lead and eventuallyled 27-0 after three quarters. Ashlandscored early in the fourth quarter, butthe Lakers added 13 more points enroute to a 40-7 win. GVSU struggled of-fensively for most of afternoon versusMinnesota-Duluth. The Lakers took a 3-0 lead on a Todd Carter field goal, butUMD answered with a touchdown.Carter pulled the Lakers within a point(7-6) at the half, but the Bulldogs took a13-6 lead midway through the thirdquarter. Grand Valley State battled theentire game and moved into scoring po-sition in the closing moments. Iciek hittight end Jonn Mathews with a 7-yardTD pass and Carter added the PAT tosend the contest into overtime. The Lak-ers missed a golden opportunity in thefirst overtime when they forced a Min-nesota-Duluth turnover, however, aftertheir own drive stalled Carter was wideright on a 37-yard field goal attempt.UMD scored in the second OT and

Iciek’s fourth down pass intended forMathews was picked off to seal theBulldog victory.

The 2008 Grand Valley State seniorclass finished with a 51-2 career record,two NCAA DII National Champi-onships, four GLIAC Championshipsand 42-0 in regular season action. Sev-eral Lakers earned postseason honors in2008, highlighted by seven players thatearned all-america honors. Senior cen-ter Billy Eisenhardt and senior defen-sive tackle Dan Skuta were consensusall-american, while offensive tackleSam Allen, running back JamesBerezik, wide receiver Blake Smolen,tight end Jonn Mathews and defensivelineman Danny Richard earned all-america plaudits. QB Brad Iciek was fi-nalist for the Harlon Hill Award for thesecond straight year and Skuta was a fi-nalist for the Gene Upshaw Award thatgoes to the top interior lineman in DII.Grand Valley State placed 22 players onthe All-GLIAC teams, highlighted byBerezik being named the OffensiveBack of the Year, Eisenhardt earning theOffensive Lineman of the Year andSkuta being named the Co-DefensiveLineman of the Year.

Allendale, Mich. - #1-ranked Grand Valley State used an impressive third quarter comeback to claim a 48-42 victory over #23 Ashland Saturday nightbefore 10,132 fans in Lubbers Stadium. Grand Valley State claims at least a share of its fourth straight GLIAC title with victory. GVSU (8-0) will hit theroad for a GLIAC tilt at Northern Michigan next Saturday (Nov. 1).

It looked like a shootout as both teams scored on each of its first three possessions. Grand Valley State took the opening kickoff an moved 92 yardsin seven plays for a score. Junior QB Brad Iciek hit James Berezik with a 22-yard scoring pass over the middle for the first of 90 combined points on theevening at the 11:54 mark. PK Todd Carter added the PAT for a 7-0 Laker lead. Ashland answered and tied the score in just 3:34 with a Bill Cundiff 24-yard pass to Joe Horn. RB/WR Blake Smolen returned the ensuing kickoff 36 yards to the 50 and it took just seven plays for the Lakers to drive 50 yardsas Berezik scored on a fourth and one from the two. The Eagles answered again as D'Marris McCoy scored on a five-yard run.

The second quarter started like the first quarter ended as Berezik scored on a 34-yard shovel pass from Iciek on the first play. From that point on Ash-land held the ball for nearly the entire quarter as the Lakers lost a fumble on a kickoff and Ashland recorded a safety. The Eagles tied the game at 21-21and then took a 23-21 lead when Iciek tripped and touched his knee in the endzone with 7:42 left in the second quarter. Ashland held possession of theball for 13:22 of the second quarter, but managed just nine points. The Eagles kept the pressure on the Laker defense in the third quarter, scoring on theirfirst two possessions to take a 36-21 lead with 6:37 left in the third quarter. The third quarter lead for Ashland marked the first time since Oct. 23rd 2004versus Northwood that an opponent held a lead in the third quarter in a regular season game.

Iciek started the comeback when he found Smolen streaking down the left sideline for a 75-yard touchdown. The Lakers attempted an onside kick,but Ashland's Alan Dunson made a one-handed grab and gave the Eagles a golden opportunity to answer. However, a blitz put pressure on Cundiff andhis errant pass was picked off safety Jacob McGucking to give the Lakers life. Iciek drove GVSU 85 yards in seven plays, highlighted by a 38-yard passto Greg Gay. Iciek hit TE Jonn Mathews with a two-yard TD pass, but the two-point conversion run failed and the Lakers trailed 36-34 with 1:54 left inthe third. The Laker defense continued to stand tall and forced a three-and-out. AU's Derek Riedel uncorked an 18-yard punt to set up the Laker offenseon the Ashland 39-yard line. It took GVSU just four plays as Smolen scored on an incredible 20-yard run to give the Lakers their first lead in nearly twoquarters. Iciek hit Gay with a two-point play pass to give GVSU a 42-36 lead. The GVSU defense held Ashland for its third straight possession as Cun-diff's fourth-down pass on the Laker 29-yard line was incomplete. Iciek directed a 15-play, 71-yard drive that consumed 8:20 off the clock and endedwith his one-yard TD run to give GVSU a 48-36 lead. GVSU converted a key third-and-24 play when Iciek hit Berezik with a shovel pass that he tookto the AU five. Ashland scored a TD with 11 seconds left in the game on fourth-and-14 pass to pull within six (48-42). However, the Eagles were unableto come up with the onside kick as it didn't travel 10 yards and went out of bounds.

Iciek completed 16-of-25 passes for 319 yards and four TDs, while Berezik tallied his second straight game with over 100 yards rushing and receiv-ing. Berezik rushed for 106 yards and one TD on 20 carries and caught six passes for 101 yards and two TDs. Smolen tallied 239 all-purpose yards.

LUBBERS STADIUM

The Grand Valley State football team enjoys thefriendly confines of Arend D. Lubbers Stadium, one of thetop Division II facilities in the nation. Gameday at LubbersStadium brings a buzz of excitment and pride to the Lakerfootball program. The surroundings of Lubbers Stadiumhave changed almost yearly and add to the festivities thatsurround a Laker football Saturday during the fall. Most re-cently, a new Daktronics Scoreboard with a ProStar VideoDisplay board was added for the 2005 season. Two seatingsections were added to each end of the home side and a newstudent section was built to accomadate the stellar studentturnout for Laker football games in 2004.

The Lakers have moved all of their football opera-tions into the GVSU Football Center and the Rob Odejew-ski Weight Room in 2002. The Football Center includes astate-of-the-art locker room, equipment room, the ToddJager training room and meeting rooms. The design doubledthe size of the former building in the north end zone byadding over 4,000 square feet (2,000 sqaure feet on eachside). Permanent lighting, a new playing surface, and sixexecutive suites located on each side of the press box areadditions added in the last four years. The student seatingarea, which moved to south endzone in 1998, has createdrenewed excitment among the student body.

With the increased seating in the south end zone andthe two new sections on the home side, Lubbers Stadiumnow has a permanent seating capacity for 8,550 fans. TheLakers set a Lubbers Stadium and GLIAC single-gamerecord in 2008 as 14,612 fans watched Grand Valley Stateclaim a 31-13 victory over Ferris State. GVSU set a GLIACsingle-season attendance record in 2008 as 64,511 fanswatched five Laker home games at Lubbers Stadium for anaverage of 12,902 per game. The Lakers ranked second intotal attendance (73,639) and regular season average(12,902) among DII schools for the season. Three of theLakers’ top six all-time single-game crowds and four of thetop 11 came during the 2008 regular season. GVSU playedbefore crowds of 14,612 (Ferris State), 14,161 (Hillsdale),13,302 (Indianapolis), 12,405 (Michigan Tech) and 10,132(Ashland) in five regular season dates. Designed with thefuture in mind, the stadium can have permanent seatingadded when needed, with ultimate expansion to 20,000seats. A new track was also installed in the summer of 1998.

The stadium and track complex was dedicated onSeptember 15, 1979, and named in honor of former GrandValley State president, Arend D. Lubbers. Lubbers was in-strumental in raising more than $700,000 toward the$1,050,000 project. The majority of the cost was offset bygifts from GVSU football fans and private donors.

Lubbers Stadium was built around the existing foot-ball field of Prescription Athletic Turf (PAT). The field,which is drained and heated by more than seven miles oftubing and electric coils, was installed in 1972, and openedin 1973. A new automatic sprinkler system was also in-stalled in the summer of 1998.

The Lubbers Stadium press box was designed to ac-comodate both print and electronic media representatives.It’s spacious features include a television booth, two radiobooths and an open air television and film platform on thesecond deck.

Grand Valley’s football team has been very successful ingames at Lubbers Stadium. The Lakers have an all-timerecord of 139-32-1 (.810) since the stadium was completed in1979 and GVSU is 50-3 at home since 2001.

STORIED TRADITION

Grand Valley State was one of only a handful of colleges anduniversities which began playing football in the 1970’s. Accord-ing to NCAA records, the Lakers have been one of the most suc-cessful of all collegiate squads to take the field during that timeperiod.

Laker football has been a key element of Grand Valley’s risefrom a small college to a regional university. President Arend D.Lubbers began the push for a team when he arrived in 1969. A yearlater, a Laker junior varsity team took the field. Then, in the fall of1971, the Lakers kicked off their first varsity season. “It was clearthat Grand Valley was changing from a commuter college, to a res-idential school in need of activities such as music, drama, and ath-letics,” Lubbers recalled. “Football gave us the anchor, somethingyou could build your weekend around.”

The Origin of the programLubbers came to Grand Valley from Central College in Pella,

Iowa, which had a successful football tradition. He hired Zeelandnative Ron Schipper, who had been at Central for 33 years, playedin three national finals, and won one national championship.

“I was used to success at Central College, so when we startedat Grand Valley, I wanted to have a successful program instead ofthrowing the ball out and saying, ‘O.K. boys, it doesn’t matterwhether we win or not.’”

But despite Lubbers’ success at Central College, it took almostnine years before Grand Valley had the total package.

The First Varsity TeamWith blessing from the Board of Control, GV launched its foot-

ball program to play a junior varsity schedule in 1970 and becamevarsity in 1971. On March 24, 1970, Lubbers, along with athleticdirector Charles H. Irwin, announced the hiring of Robert “Rip”Collins, a successful high school coach at Grand Rapids OttawaHills. Success didn’t come quickly for the Lakers, and it took al-most three years to win a football game. Collins was unable to getthe program off to a successful start after going 0-13 and beingoutscored 534-58 in 1971 and 1972.

Harkema begins the TraditionE. James Harkema took over as head coach in January of 1973,

coming to GV from Northern Illinois where he was an offensivebackfield coach.

Also awaiting Harkema was a brand new football field con-structed in 1972 which featured the first “prescription athletic turf”(PAT) football playing surface in the country.

It was ironic that Harkema opened the 1973 campaign againsthis alma mater Kalamazoo College, where he won 10 varsity let-ters and led the Hornets to six MIAA championships.

John Mahan rushed 26 times for 158 yards and Steve Bremsadded 122 more to lead GV to its first football victory in its seasonopener at home, a 27-14 win over Kalamazoo. Defensive tackleBryce Berth and offensive guard Tom Tefft were named the offen-sive and defensive players of the game.

To prove it was not fluke, the Lakers did it again the followingweek with Mahan rushing for 147 yards and Brems adding 138 asGV defeated Chicago Circle 40-8 in a night game played at SoldierField in Chicago.

Grand Valley outscored opponents 259-120 and posted theirfirst winning season. 1973 marked the start of the great footballtradition at Grand Valley, and during the next 10 years underHarkema they would post a 68-29-1 record, win three Great LakesConference football championships and make one trip to the NAIAplayoffs.

Also during that period, a number of Lakers would begin careersin professional football. Jim Schaap and Tom Tefft, 1971-73, werethe first Lakers to sign professional football contracts when theysigned with the Detroit Wheels of the World Football League in1974, setting the stage for a number of GV football alums to fol-low into the National Football League during that period. They in-clude Gary Evans 1975-77 (New York Jets), Ron Essink 1976-79(Seattle Seahawks), Ron Rubick 1978-81 (Detroit Lions), SteveMichuta 1979-81 (Cleveland Browns), and Jeff Chadwick 1980-82(Detroit Lions).

Many Laker followers feel that the 1975 team, with a 7-2-1record, may have set the standards for many years to come. Afterdropping a hard fought 15-6 contest to Wayne State, which alsoincluded the loss of their quarterback Scott VanDyken for the sea-son, the Lakers bounced back to shutout Ferris State, 38-0, for theirfirst win over the Bulldogs, defeat Saginaw Valley and Hillsdale,tie Northwood, and lose on a trick play to Northern Michigan, 21-17.

1976 was the year Grand Valley would receive national atten-tion in more ways than one. It all started at Michigan Tech whenRoger McCoy was credited with a 39-yard field goal although theball never cleared the crossbar. Instead, the ball hit a public ad-dress wire some 50 feet in the air and the ball dropped straightdown in front of the goal posts.

A lengthy deliberation following was dominated by MichiganTech coach Jim Kapp, who brought the ground rule to the attentionof the officials, that if that ball should hit the wire in flight, thedown should be replayed. Kapp’s appeal was denied on the basisthat he forgot to tell Grand Valley or the officials before the startof the game that the rule existed, and because the field goal was al-lowed, the Lakers walked away with a 10-8 victory. McCoy had seta GVSU record with a 60-yard field goal the previous week againstGrand Rapids JC at Houseman Field.

The Lakers get on the mapThe game which put Grand Valley on the map was the season

finale against Northern Michigan. The Wildcats came into Allen-dale as defending champions, boasting an 18-game winning streak,ranked No. 1 in Division II and fresh off an 82-7 whipping of Ne-braska-Omaha.

STORIED TRADITION

ABC television sent a crew to feature Northern Michigan, butit was the Lakers, playing 21 seniors who built up a 24-0 lead andwent on to shock the Wildcats 31-14 before the then largest crowdin GV history at the time.

Reflections of that game even hit the state legislature, when theRepresentative Dominic Jacobetti of Neguanee vowed he wouldeat a pasties’ box if Northern were to lose. Although humbled, Ja-cobetti was true to his word, and ate a piece of cake looking like apasties’ box that was furnished by Grand Valley president DonLubbers.

Grand Valley dominates the GLiACHarkema’s teams had traditionally been built around defense

and a solid running game. In 1977 he decided to go to the air andwith senior quarterback Roy Gonzalez at the helm, a transfer fromToledo, the Lakers took to the air and won the first of three GreatLakes Conference Championships in a five year period.

Gonzalez was followed by quarterbacks David Quinley, SteveMichuta, and Jeff Lynch, who gave GV the most feared passing inthe GLIAC. They were also blessed with outstanding receivers inClint Nash, Michael Woods, Rubick Chadwick, and Bill Luckstedas the Lakers averaged seven wins a year from 1977-82.

Argument still exists over Harkema’s most successful team. The1976 club, despite an 8-2 record, and posting the biggest victory inthe school’s history, finished second in the GLIAC and missed theNAIA playoffs.

The First playoff YearIn 1978 with Quinley at the controls, the Lakers suffered early

49-22 and 49-3 losses to Northern Michigan and Bowling Green,but bounced back to win eight straight games including a repeat ofthe GLIAC title and an NCAA playoff victory over Wisconsin-LaCrosse. The team lost at Elon (NC) College 14-7 in the semifi-nals of the NAIA playoffs and closed out with a 9-3 record, themost wins in GV history at the time. The 1981 season was similarto 1978 when the Lakers lost 21-20 to Northern Iowa and 29-28 toNorthern Michigan, but bounced back to dominate the GLIAC andwin their third title despite a rash of injuries which devastated theclub.

The Lakers earn a New StadiumThe Grand Valley football package was completed when the

stadium and track complex named after its president, Arend D.Lubbers, was dedicated on September 15, 1979. The majority ofthese gifts included contributions from Laker football fans and pri-vate donors. The stadium was built around the existing PAT fieldwith permanent seating for 4,146 fans. Beside the stadium/trackcomplex, the new practice fields and the new Fieldhouse, whichreplaced the Dome in 1982, gave GV one of the finest Division IIfacilities in the Midwest. Harkema was on his way to building an-other winner when he accepted the head coaching job at EasternMichigan. He resigned in November 1982 and was replaced byBob Giesey, Ball State assistant, in December of 1982.

Giesey’s team lost the final two games of the season by twopoints, 31-30 to Northwood and 15-14 to Saginaw Valley to finish4-6. The roof caved in the following year and GV went 0-10 andmanaged only 99 points for the season.

beck Turns GVSu into a winner AgainGiesey resigned and Athletic Director Dr. George MacDonald

began a nationwide search which climaxed with the hiring of TomBeck, a Chicago native, who came to Grand Valley from theChicago Blitz of the United States Football League and who hadturned losing programs into winning ones at Illinois Benedictineand Elmhurst College.

It took Beck three games to get back on track in 1985. Facedwith a 14-game losing streak, Beck made some key personnelchanges. Beck installed Guy Schuler at quarterback and movedwide receiver Ray Buckner to tailback, linebacker Sylvester John-son to fullback, and defensive tackle Brian Mulcahy to middle line-backer. The Lakers went out and defeated Evansville 28-14 andfinished the year 6-5.

The next five years would see explosive offenses, outstandingplayers and solid coaching which would result in trips to the NCAADivision II playoffs, as well as the Lakers becoming a fixture inpreseason and postseason rankings.

Beck’s 1986 team posted a 9-2 record, but that was only aninkling of this to come.

undefeated in 1989After a pair of 7-4 seasons in 1987 and 1988, the Lakers posted

their first undefeated regular season with an 11-0 record and thefinal Great Lakes Conference Championship in 1989. GV led Di-vision II in total of-fense, averaging480.9 yards pergame and also inpoints with 44.5.

One of the high-lights of the 1989season was GVSU’srecord breaking 91-0victory over Val-paraiso. The Lakersjumped out to a 56-0halftime lead as theyrolled up 731 yardsin total offense.Freshman kickerMiguel Sagaro fromSpain set a DivisionII record when heconnected on 65 of 66 extra points for the season and sophomorefullback Eric Lynch scored 21 touchdowns. Lynch went on to beginan outstanding career with the Detroit Lions.

Grand Valley finished third in the final 1989 Division II poll andearned the first of three consecutive playoff berths, losing to Indi-ana, PA, 34-24 on a frigid November afternoon highlighted by 11inches of snow on the ground.

Grand Valley Joins miFC, wins inaugural CrownIn 1990, Grand Valley, along with GLIAC members Ferris State,

Hillsdale, Northern Michigan, Saginaw Valley, and Wayne State,joined forces with the schools from the Heartland Conferencewhich included Ashland, Butler, University of Indianapolis, St.Joseph’s College, and Valparaiso to form the Midwest Intercolle-giate Football Conference.

The Lakers continued their winning ways, posting a 22-gameregular season winning streak before falling at Hillsdale, 38-34.

GV won the inaugural MIFC crown, finished with a 10-2 recordand lost to East Texas State, 20-14, in the playoffs.

Kelly moves upBeck left Grand Valley the following March to become an as-

sistant at Notre Dame, and Athletic Director Mike Kovalchik filledthe position with 28-year old Laker assistant Brian Kelly, a grad-uate of Assumption College, who continued to lead the Lakers tosuccess on the gridiron. He posted his 20th and 30th wins fasterthan any of his predecessors, and going into the 2003 season hada 104-34-2 record in twelve seasons of competition.

GV defeats defending National Champ, Goes To playoffs ForThird Straight Year

Kelly’s first season was a roller coaster ride as the Lakers beganby defeating defending Division II national champion NorthDakota State, 21-17, in Fargo, breaking the Bison 25 game homewinning streak as the Lakers became the first team to score a rush-ing TD in 38 quarters. The following week Grand Valley wasshutout 33-0 in the Butler Bowl. Kelly’s 1991 team went on to posta 9-3 record, losing to East Texas State in the playoffs, 36-15.

Grand Valley shared its second MIFC crown with Butler, Fer-ris, and Hillsdale in 1992 with an 8-3 record. Kelly’s club returnedto the playoffs in 1994 and posted an 8-4 mark after losing to IUPin the first round.

Kelly Continues winning TraditionThe Lakers posted back to back 8-3 seasons in ‘95 and ‘96, fin-

ishing second in the MIFC both years. GVSU earned a share of theconference title in 1997, with a 9-2 overall record, and finished theMIFC season 9-1, with only a 30-27 overtime loss at Saginaw Val-ley State.

Quarterback Jeff Fox led the Lakers to their second straightMIFC title and back into the playoffs in 1998 with a 9-1 conferencemark. Fox became Grand Valley State’s first-ever Harlon HillAward Finalist as he rewrote the GVSU single-season and careeroffensive record books. The Lakers season was ended by SlipperyRock in the first round of the playoffs, 37-14.

Kelly decided to go with a youth movement in 1999 and the in-experience showed as the Lakers stumbled to a 5-5 finish. The

2000 season started slowly as a tough early schedule droppedGVSU to 0-3. However, the Lakers did not quit after the roughstart and responded with a six-game winning streak to end the sea-son at 7-4.

In 2001 the dividends of getting young players some vaulable

experience showed as the Lakers not only won their first- everplayoff game but advanced to the 2001 National Championship.Behind an offensive attack like no Division II school before it,Grand Valley posted a perfect 10-0 regular season with an averageof 58.4 points per game and 48.0 average margin of victory.GVSU’s march to the championship game was not easy, however,as quarterback and Harlon Hill Finalist Curt Anes, was injured inthe Lakers’ first playoff game. Grand Valley responded with a firstround 42-14 victory over Bloomsburg, a 33-30 second round winover Saginaw Valley State, and a semifinal win over Catawba Col-lege, 34-16, with two back up quarterbacks. In the championshipgame against North Dakota the Lakers took a 14-10 lead with 2:46left in the game, but the Fighting Sioux responded with a lastminute drive of their own to take the title, 17-14.

Finish what we started was the motto of the 2002 season.Curt Anes returned from a serious knee injury to guide GVSU to aperfect 10-0 regular season mark. GVSU defeated three rankedteams en route to the undefeated season. The playoffs began witha convincing 62-13 win over C.W. Post. Then came a matchupagainst longtime nemesis Indiana (Pa.). GVSU entered the game 0-6 against the Indians all-time, however, scored on its first eightpossessions in the first half and built a 50-7 lead. The Lakerscruised to a 62-21 win and advanced to the NCAA DII semifinals.Grand Valley State again jumped out to an early lead and neverlooked back with an impressive 44-7 victory over Northern Col-orado. The win advanced GVSU to the NCAA DII National Cham-pionship game for the second straight year. The #1 ranked Lakerssquared off against #2 Valdosta State for a winner take all game.GVSU led 17-6 at the half and 24-6 midway through the fourthquarter. However, VSU scored 18 unanswered points to tie thegame with just over three minutes remaining. Anes, who won theHarlon Hill Award as the DII Player of the Year less than 24 hoursearlier, drove the Lakers 68 yards in 2:05 for a TD to give GVSUthe 2002 NCAA DII National Championship. Anes hit All-Amer-ican David Kircus on a 10-yard pass for the winning score. GrandValley State went wire-to-wire as the top-ranked team in DivisionII and finished with a perfect 14-0 record.

Following “Finish What We Started” in 2002, the 2003 motto was“Tradition Never Graduates”. Gone from the 2002 team were 25seniors that concluded their careers with back-to-back appearancesin the NCAA DII Championship game. However, someone forgotto tell the the 2003 squad that the run was over. The 2003 cam-paign started with a road win over perennial DII power UC Davisthat was now a I-AA school. GVSU limited the high-poweredAggie offense to just two field goals, while GVSU’s All-Ameri-can placekicker, David Hendrix, booted three field goals, the finalone coming in overtime to give a young GVSU squad a 9-6 win.A resounding win over West Michigan rival Ferris State followedas the Laker defense scored a pair of TDs. Wins over Wayne State,Hillsdale, Michigan Tech and Northern Michigan built the Lakers’

overall winning streak to 20 games and the conference streak to29 games. A date with fourth-ranked Saginaw Valley State wasnext on the ledger and GVSU and GLIAC record crowd of 12,832attended the much anticipated contest at Lubbers Stadium. GVSUturnovers and miscues filled the second half and the Cardinals cap-italized to claim a 34-20 victory.

GVSU regrouped and notched a 33-14 win at Northwood tobuild momentum towards another playoff run. However, this play-off run would have to be done on the road as GVSU entered theplayoffs seeded third in the Northeast Region. The Lakers openedwith a 65-36 win at Bentley College that set up a rematch withSVSU. Scott Mackey picked off a pass late in the second quarterto score the games only TD and give GVSU a 10-3 win. A win (31-3) in south Texas over Texas A&M-Kingsville propelled GVSUinto its third straigth NCAA DII Championship game. A familarfoe, North Dakota, was on the docket in a game that was sure to bea defensive battle. GVSU led 3-0 in the third quarter, but UND wasdeep in Laker territory and looking to take the lead before juniordefensive back Lucius Hawkins made the play of the game.Hawkins forced a fumble by the Sioux QB that he in turn pickedup and raced 59 yards to the North Dakota 20-yard line. All-Amer-ican Michael Tennessee scored three plays later from three yardsout to give GVSU a 10-0 lead. GVSU led 10-3 in the closing min-utes as North Dakota was driving. Senior linebacker Mike Hoadwould have none of that and picked off a pass on the Laker 10 topreserve the win and give GVSU back-to-back NCAA DII Na-tional Championships. The 2003 GVSU senior class etched their

names in the record books by becoming just the second team(North Alabama) in NCAA DII history to make three consecutivetrips to the title game. The Laker seniors were 47-2 in their final 49games and tallied a four-year GLIAC record of 34-4.

Chuck martin Takes Over The reins Of Laker FootballThe 2004 season opened the era of a new mentor as Brian Kelly

left following the 2003 season to take the head coach job at Cen-tral Michigan. Enter Chuck Martin as the fifth head coach in thehistory of the Laker football program. Martin won more games(10) than any of the four previous head coaches in their first yearat the helm. In addition, the Lakers advanced to the NCAA DIIQuarterfinals for the fourth straight year. The 2004 Laker seaniorclass concluded their careers with a 51-5 record, including two Na-tional Championships and three title game appearances. The 51wins by the Laker senior class tied the DII record for wins in a ca-reer. DT Keyonta Marshall became GVSU’s first-ever three-timeAll-American and Grand Valley State continued to set single-sea-son attendance records with a single-game average of 10,799 in2004.

National Championship Number ThreeYear number two in the Chuck Martin era started with a lot of

promise and ended with a National Championship.GVSU swept through the regular season with a perfect 9-0

record. Grand Valley State held the top spot in the AFCA poll aftera 14-10 comeback win at Ashland on Sept. 17. The Lakers claimeda pair of impressive wins in October over nationally-ranked oppo-nents. GVSU claimed a 31-10 victory over #4 Saginaw ValleyState and then one week later tallied a 30-14 win at #5 Northwood.The Lakers’ final game of the regular season was cancelled due tolightning on a November night.

GVSU received a bye as the top seed in the Northwest Regionand opened the playoffs with a familar foe in North Dakota. GVSUdominated the contest defensively and had all the points theyneeded by the half (14-0) en route to a 17-3 victory. A rematch withSaginaw Valley State was next and the Cardinals built a 14-7 half-time lead. However, a crucial TD on fourth-and-one tied the gamein the third quarter and GVSU added 10 more points to claim a 24-17 victory. The semifinals were next and East Stroudsburg (Pa.)was all that stood between the Lakers another trip to Florence. TheWarriors didn’t stand in the way long and GVSU raced out to a 41-0 lead midway through the second quarter and went on to claim a55-20 victory.

Grand Valley State was making its fourth appearance in theNCAA DII title game in the last five years. The Lakers trailedNorthwest Missouri State 17-14 midway through the fourth quar-ter when they started their National Championship game-winningdrive. Junior QB Cullen Finnerty hit WR Eric Fowler with a keythird-down pass to keep the drive alive. Senior WR BrandonLangston thought he let the title slip away when a Finnerty passjust slipped through his hands. However, Finnerty came back tothe Lakers’ playmaker later in the drive and boy did he prove wor-thy of the task. Langston took a screen pass and raced 35 yards topaydirt to give GVSU a 21-17 lead with just over four minutes re-maining. The Bearcats picked up a couple of first downs and hadone final play from the Laker 25 with one tick left on the clock. Thepass was completed, but senior safety Joe Ballard and sophomorelinebacker Kirk Carruth made sure it was short of the goal line andGVSU had its third DII football National Championship in fouryears. The victory also enabled the Laker senior class to pick up

107

their 51st victory against just four losses to establish the top victorytotal and best winning percentage in a four-year period.

2006NATIONAL CHAMPIONSIn 2006, the Lakers successfully defended the national championship. Along with the title defense,the Laker football program went 15-0 for the first time in school history and for just the secondtime in NCAA history as well. Chuck Martin earned his second AFCA Coach of the Year plauditin just his third season as the coach of the Lakers. Cullen Finnerty finished second in Harlon Hillballoting, while Mike McFadden received his second consecutive Gene Upshaw Award in 2006.

The Lakers went wire to wire as the #1 team in the country. Grand Valley got off to a bit of arough start early in the season, but was able to peak at the right time despite suffering key injurieson the offensive line and defense. GVSU moved through the playoffs without too much of a scare,defeating South Dakota, North Dakota, and Delta State by an average score of more than twotouchdowns.

In the championship game, Grand Valley defeated a determined NW Missouri State for the secondyear in a row, 17-14. Cullen Finnerty was responsible for both Laker touchdowns, while Billy“Pix” Brechin intercepted two passes and recovered a fumble to clinch the win.

The Lakers again returned to Florence, Ala. making their fourth appearance on ESPN in just fiveseasons.

AFCA Coach of the Year, Chuck Martin, led the Lakers to a second undefeated championship sea-son in just his second campaign as the head coach. Grand Valley State became just the third schoolto win three Division II football national championships.

Cullen Finnerty, who ran for two touchdowns, connected with Brandon Langston on a screen passwhich he took 35 yards to paydirt for what would be the eventual winning touchdown.

The Laker defensive unit stood tall, as Mike McFadden continued to pressure the NW MissouriState quarterback despite fighting an injury from the week before. As the game came down to thefinal seconds, Kirk Carruth and Joe Ballard stuffed a last gasp attempt just short of the goal lineto seal the victory.

Josh Bourke and Mike McFadden garnered all-american honors, and McFadden also earned theGene Upshaw Award. The senior class finished as the winningest class in GVSU history (51-4).

2005NATIONAL CHAMPIONS

2003NATIONAL CHAMPIONSIn contrast to the 2002 season, the Lakers took to the road to claim its second national champi-onship in back-to-back seasons. In the end, GVSU would travel 13,232 miles to defend the title.

Grand Valley continued its winning ways after graduating 13 starters from the previous season.

Depsite seeing its 20-game win streak come to an end in the middle of the season, GVSU re-grouped to finish strong with only one blemish preventing another undefeated season.

Scott Mackey scored the only touchdown against Saginaw Valley in the playoff rematch to givethe Lakers a seven point victory over Grand Valley’s biggest in-state rival. The win would givethe Lakers a berth to the semifinal game in Kingsville, Texas, where Grand Valley ran over highlytouted Texas A&M-Kingsville to return to the championship game in Florence, Ala.

Mackey, along with Lucius Hawkins, would help lead the Lakers in a tough battle versus NorthDakota in the championship game. In the end, Mike Hoad would play the hero as he put an endto the last Sioux drive by picking off a pass to give the Lakers the 10-3 win against the team whonarrowly defeated them in the 2001 championship game.

2002NATIONAL CHAMPIONSArguably the best and most explosive team in Division II history, the 2002 season saw GVSUtally 11 all-americans, while the Lakers went wire-to-wire as the #1 team in the nation. GVSUcompleted its second undefeated regular season in 2002, on its way to winning the GLIAC titlefor the second consecutive year. The Lakers would go on an amazing playoff run before returningto Alabama to face Valdosta State. Grand Valley posted an average margin of victory of 42 pointsin three playoff games versus C.W. Post, IUP and Northern Colorado.

The title game featured the first NCAA Division II championship game in which the top two teamsin the country were both undefeated. Grand Valley entered as the #1 team, while Valdosta Statewas ranked #2. GVSU led for most of the game, but after a Valdosta State comeback effort putthe Blazers in the lead in the fourth quarter, Curt Anes found Kircus late in the fourth quarter tocap off a 65 yard drive to take the lead. Darren Smith would then snag his second interception ofthe game to put Valdosta State away and seal the Lakers’ first championship.

All-american David Kircus racked up a Division II championship game record 270 receiving yardsalong with three touchdowns to lead the Lakers to their first national championship.

THE STREAK

From August 27, 2005 through December 1,

2007 Grand Valley State’s football team left the

field as the victor for 40 consecutive games.

GVSU stood the test of time to put its name in

the history books by breaking the record for the

longest winning streak in NCAA Division II

history.

Hillsdale College set the record in 1957 with

34 straight wins. That mark stood strong for 50

years with few challengers. As history has

shown, the record for the longest winning

streak is a virtually impossible task to conquer.

Wilkes and Morgan State reached just over 30

wins in the late-60’s but no school would test

the record again until 1995 when an undefeated

Bentley team dropped what would have been

their 31st consecutive win in the last game of

the regular season against Stonehill.

Grand Valley’s path to 40 straight wins came

from a more unique direction than those in the

past. While Hillsdale, Wilkes, Morgan State,

and Bentley all made their runs through regular

season and in-conference bowl game wins. The

Lakers faced the best in the country each year

after the regular season concluded in a playoff

system. The “second season” provides a differ-

ent type of challenge by adding four or five

extra games against nationally ranked oppo-

nents each season.

The improbable 40-game win streak consisted

of three consecutive undefeated regular sea-

sons, three postseason berths, 11 playoff victo-

ries, and two national championships.

Entering the 2009 season, the Lakers are riding

a new streak as they look for their fifth consec-

utive undefeated regular season.

Brad Iciek enters his senior season in 2009 with two years of experience under center and two yearsof of being named a finalist for the Harlon Hill Award. No Laker in history has been named a HarlonHill finalist three times.

At the end of the 2006 season, Cullen Finnerty ended his college football career with the Lakers. Infour seasons as the starter for Grand Valley, Finnerty became the winningest starting QB in NCAAhistory with a 51-4 record. Finnerty also led the Lakers to a 14-1 record in the playoffs with threechampionship victories.

Curt Anes finished at the top with the Lakers, leading GVSU to its first ever national championshipduring his senior year in 2002. Anes held the school record for most passing yards in a career (10,581)when he completed his four year career.

Before Cullen Finnerty and Curt Anes, Holland native, Jeff Fox was setting records and laying thefoundation for future Laker signal-callers. Fox became the first Grand Valley QB to throw for over2,000 yards in multiple seasons. each of Fox’s three seasons at the helm of the offense still rank inthe top 10 for passing in Laker annals. Kwame McKinnon, Jack Hull, Guy Schuler, Jim Lynch, andDavid Quinley are just a few more athletes who have stood tall as the field general for the Lakers inpast seasons.

QUARTERBACK U

NATIONAL AWARDS

The Gene Upshaw Award was introduced to NCAA Division II in 2004 to represent the linemanof the year. Since its inception, the Manheim Touchdown Club has named five winners of theaward, with three of the five recipients being linemen from GVSU. Mike McFadden earned thehonor in 2005 after leading the Lakers to a national championship. McFadden then capped off hiscareer by winning the award again in 2006. Brandon Barnes kept the hardware in Allendale bygarnering the most votes in 2007.

Curt Anes brought the Harlon Hill Trophy back from Alabama in 2002 along with the first nationalchampionship trophy. Anes had finished second in 2001. Jeff Fox and Eric Lynch both preceededAnes as Harlon Hill finalists. Lynch was the first two-time nominee from Grand Valley (1989,90) and Jeff Fox reached the national stage in 1998 whne he would finish third in the voting.Cullen Finnerty finished his career with three national championship victories and a second placetally in the Hill voting in 2006. Brad Iciek currently carries the tradition forward as he seeks histhird straight chance to claim NCAA Division II’s top award.

This past season, Dan Skuta garnered numer-

ous all-america honors for the second consec-

utive season while being named a finalist for

the Gene Upshaw Award. Billy Eisenhardt

earned First-Team awards from Daktronics,

AFCA, and d2football.com. Sam Allen was

also recognized by d2football.com on the first

team and by Daktronics on the second team.

Danny Richard was honored with his first na-

tional exposure after his sophomore season

when he was tabbed by Don Hansen’s Foot-

ball Gazette as a second-team all-american.

ALL AMERICANS

Tom Tefft earned the first postseason award from

the NAIA in 1973. Since then, the Lakers have

earned well over 100 all-america awards.

Just a few seasons later, in 1975, Dan Karpowicz

proved to have the talent to lead the Lakers to na-

tional prominence. He was the first player from

GVSU to earn the national award from the NCAA

ranks.

In 2002, while the experts were debating if the Lak-

ers were the best team in NCAA Division II history,

GVSU tallied eleven different all-americans.

Now that the tradition has been built, the Lakers

produce some of the nations best players every sea-

son as they contend for the national championships,

all america honors, and national awards every year.

From players walking to the football center

being greeted by tailgaiting fans before the

game, to the fireworks that light up the sky to

signal a Laker touchdown, a football game at

Lubbers Stadium has become a community

event.

Just before each game the football players

rush the field toward the student section to

the cheers of well over 10,000 fans at each

home game. It doesn’t get any better than

Laker football in Lubbers Stadium.

Crowd noise isn’t the only reason Lubbers

Stadium is an intimidating place to play.

GVSU hasn’t lost a regular season home

game in over three years.

GAMEDAY

“The crowd [GVSU student section] was extremely loud. We had a difficult time at that end of

the field the whole game. They are one of the loudest crowds we’ve played in front of.” -Bob

Biggs, UC Davis head coach after GVSU defeated UC Davis in 2002

Lubbers Stadium is one of the most exciting Division II venues in the country. The stands are reg-

ularly packed with thousands of excited students providing a homefield advantage in the south

end zone. Opposing players are surrounded on game day between the student section, Laker fans

that fill the seats on each side, as well as the GVSU Marching Band in the north end zone.

Both fans and players are able to experience game day in Allendale more than most any other

program in the country. In the last three seasons, the Lakers have played seven extra home

games in the postseason. Laker game days can’t be contained to just five games per year.

THE COMMUNITYStudent-athletes at GVSU have the opportu-

nities to gain a great education, participate in

college athletics, and make a difference in the

world around them.

Football players have helped on campus the

last few years by lending a helping hand on

freshman move-in day. The Lakers have also

looked to impact the community in different

ways, from hurricane relief in Mississippi, vis-

iting a Ronald McDonalds house, helping with

youth football camps, and clearing room for a

play area at a local camp.

In 2009, the Lakers began a partnership with

Mentor 1, a program whose local mission is

to find mentors for at-risk youth in West

Michigan.

GVSU has appeared a number of times in Sports Il-

lustrated because of its success in the 2000’s. The

Lakers have also been highlighted twice in the

“Leading Off” section of the magazine. They have

also been featured on the national stage by USA

Today. The Lakers appeared on College Football

Live’s 50 States Tour in 2009 during the show that

featured the State of Michigan on ESPNU.

The Lakers are also regularly covered by the Grand

Rapids Press, which is seen by over 300,000 readers

in West Michigan on a daily basis. The Grand

Rapids Press also runs the website mlive.com which

has a dedicated page to cover GVSU athletics.

All of Grand Valley State’s home games are shown

live on the internet and on TV on the Comcast and

Charter cable networks in Michigan. GVSU has also

been on the ESPN family of networks seven times

in the last eight years.

FACILITIESArend D. Lubbers Stadium is the home of

Laker football. The Lakers have played at Lub-

bers Stadium since 1972 and have amassed a

.803 winning percentage in those 37 seasons.

Lubbers Stadium is the focal point of the Laker

football program. Since its construction it has

seen many additions to improve the facilities.

In recent years the stadium has expanded the

home stands by one full section on each side, a

new student section was built, luxury suites

were added, and a new scoreboard with a

prostar video display was constructed in the

north end zone.

Lubbers Stadium Quick Facts:

All-Time Home Record: 132-32-1

All-Time Home Playoff Record: 13-3

Record Attendance: 14,612

Field Surface: Natural Grass

Year Built: 1972

FACILITIES

The Lakers are housed in the football center

that sits next to Lubbers Stadium. The building

includes meeting rooms for each position as

well as a team room which can be used for full

team meetings and media press conferences.

Right next to the Football Center sits the Rob

Odejewski weight room which was opened

just before the 2002 season.

In the fall of 2008, the university opened the

doors to the Laker Turf Building which has al-

ready been honored with national awards for

its construction. The football program uses the

facility to avoid adverse weather conditions

during practices and also during off-season

workouts. It features a full six lane track and a

100 yard Field Turf surface.

LAKERS IN THE NFLGVSU saw two players from the 2008 squad enter NFL camps by signing free agent contracts in2009. Dan Skuta and Sam Allen were both picked up by teams right after the draft and are currentlyparticipating in their off-season camps.

Skuta and Allen are just the latest players on a list of former Lakers looking to turn the game of foot-ball into a career. There are five other Lakers currently on NFL rosters; Eric Fowler (Lions), DerrickJones (Titans), Brandon Barnes (Colts), and Brandon Carr (Chiefs).

Brandon Carr just completed an impressive rookie campaign in 2008 with the Kansas City Chiefs.He became the first Kansas City rookie cornerback to start all 16 games since Kevin Ross in 1984.Carr finished fifth on the team in tackles with 77, picked off two passes, and recovered two fumbles.For his efforts, he was named to the USA Today All-Joe Team which honors players who are over-achievers and are overlooked.

HARLON HILL AWARD

The Harlon Hill Trophy annually goes to the top football player in Division II, recognizing that individual as the NCAA Division II

Player of the Year. Six Laker football players have been nominated a total of 9 times for the Harlon Hill Award. Current signal caller,

Brad Iciek, was the most recent nominee in 2007. In just his first season as the starting QB, Iciek finished 7th in the voting. Cullen

Finnerty was one of three finalists in 2006, while Michael Tennessee was nominated in 2003. Curt Anes (2001-02), Jeff Fox (1997-98)

and Eric Lynch (1990-91) earned multiple nominations for the award. These five former Laker gridiron greats have earned the right to

be mentioned among the top players in Division II football. Finnerty became the second Laker quarterback to finish runner-up for the

award this decade (Anes 2001). Tennessee was one of six nominees from the Northeast region to move on to the 24-member national

ballot. Prior to 2002 when Anes won the Harlon Hill Award, his runner-up finish in 2001 was the Lakers’ highest finisher in the Hill Award

voting. Anes garnered the most first-place votes (52), but finished eight points (201) behind Dusty Bonner’s total of 209. Laker quar-

terback Jeff Fox finished third in the Harlon Hill Award voting in 1998 with 76 points and two first-place votes. Former Laker running

back Eric Lynch finished tied for sixth in 1989 and eighth in 1990.

Brad Iciek continued the success

of Laker quarterbacks by finish-

ing 7th for the Harlon Hill after

just his first season as the signal

caller. Iciek was the only sopho-

more to finish in the top 8. In

2007, Iciek threw for 2850 yards

and 30 TDs, while leading the

The Upshaw Award winner isselected by the sports informationdirectors of the 150 football-play-ing NCAA Division II institutionsand is named in honor of the cur-rent Executive Director of the Na-tional Football League PlayersAssociation.

Gene Upshaw was a standoutlineman at Texas A&I University

“I congratulate Mike McFadden on being named the winner of the Di-vision II Lineman of the Year Award for the second consecutive year,” Mr.Upshaw said. “It comes as no surprise that Mike continues to receive acco-lades for his play on the football field. He continues to dominate against op-posing quarterbacks as evidenced by his 23 sacks in the last 30 games.”

Don Harris, president of the Manheim Touchdown Club, which sponsorsthe award, added:

“When you look at all Mike McFadden has accomplished on the foot-ball field, it is only fitting that he should be the first two-time winner of thisaward. After hosting Mike and his family at our 2005 banquet last year, youcould see that this young man processes a great deal of character to go alongwith his athletic ability.”

McFadden was the overwhelming choice in this year’s balloting; he waslisted as one of the top three choices by 83 percent of the voters and was theNo. 1 choice of 46 percent of the voters.Jason Capizzi, a senior offensive tackle for Indiana University of Pa., andRobbie Klinetobe, a junior offensive guard for Chadron State University,tied for second place in this year’s voting.

The other finalists for the award included Newberry College offensivetackle Heath Benedict, North Carolina Central University center RobertDuncan, California University of Pa. center Tim McCutcheon, University ofSouth Dakota center Chris Morton and Northwest Missouri State Universitydefensive end Ryan Waters.

“It is truly an honor to be named the Gene Upshaw Award winner for asecond time,” McFadden said. “I have so much respect for Mr. Upshaw andwhat the Gene Upshaw Award stands for and I am humbled with this honorwhen so many deserving candidates were nominated.”Grand Valley State head coach Chuck Martin added, “Mike McFadden iseverything the Gene Upshaw Awards stands for. Mike is an amazing foot-ball player, but more than that, Mike is even a better person, and we are ex-cited to see Mike get his just due for his accomplishments both on and offthe football field.”

McFadden, a 6-foot-1, 255-pound native of Saginaw, Mich. (HeritageHigh School), received Gene Upshaw Division II Lineman of the YearAwardSponsored by the Manheim Touchdown ClubMike McFadden dou-ble-team attention from opposing teams but still recorded 61 tackles thisfall, including 29 solo takedowns, 13.5 tackles for loss (-54 yards) and sevenquarterback sacks (-41 yards).

He also received the Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference(GLIAC) Defensive Lineman of the Year honor for the second straight year,as well as a second successive first-team All-GLIAC citation.

tackles for loss with 55.5. Earlier this season, McFadden tied the NCAAall-division record for consecutive games with a QB sacks with 17.

What does not show up in McFadden’s statistics is the fact that, becauseof the attention paid to him by rivals, all three of his defensive line mateswere able to record career highs in every category this fall.“I was fortu-nate to have the opportunity to play with so many quality football playersat Grand Valley State and this is just as much of a team award as an idi-vidual award. I was just 1/11th of our defense and that is how we ap-proached every down defensively at Grand Valley State.”As a unit, Grand Valley’s defensive unit led the nation in QB sacks pergame (3.75) and ranked 13th in scoring defense (14.1) and 38th in rush-ing defense (105.1).

McFadden earned honorable mention All-GLIAC honors as a sopho-more and was a Freshman All-American in 2003. McFadden is also ac-tively involved in the Fellowship of Christian Athletes.

McFadden was a dominent figure en route to earning the award as ajunior. He concluded his junior campaign as the national co-leader in quar-terback sacks with 19 and was third in the nation in tackles for loss with21.5 (-110 yards). He recorded at least one quarterback sack and tackle forloss in each of Grand Valley State’s 13 games last fall, a run that resultedin the Lakers winning their third national title in the last four seasons.

North Dakota Wins First Division II Football Championship

By BOB JOHNSON

Associated Press Writer

December 08, 2001 -

FLORENCE, Ala. (AP) -- Jed Perkerewiez scored on a 1-yard with 29 sec-

onds to play as North Dakota outlasted Grand Valley State 17-14 on Satur-

day for its first NCAA Division II championship.

Grand Valley State (13-1) appeared poised to win its first national champi-

onship when quarterback Ryan Brady scored his second touchdown of the

day on a 12-yard run with 2:46 to play.

North Dakota (14-1) then drove 80 yards in nine plays for the winning

score. On fourth down with 38 seconds to play, Kelby Klosterman hit Luke

Schleusner with a 58-yard pass to the 1. Perkerewiez scored on the next

play.

Perkerewiez ran 26 times for 96 yards to lead a North Dakota team that did

most of its damage on the ground on an overcast, damp day.

North Dakota took the lead with 12:55 to play on Klosterman's 9-yard run.

The Fighting Sioux quarterback ran for 61 yards and completed 8 of 27

passes for 139 yards.

For Grand Valley State, Brady and Todd Wojciechowski split quarterback-

ing duties, with Brady rushing for 89 yards. Wojciechowski was the Lak-

ers' passing quarterback, completing 11 of 22 attempts for 128 yards.

Brady, a receiver for much of the season, and Wojciechowski were filling

in for injured Curt Anes, a finalist for Harlon Hill Trophy who suffered a

season-ending knee injury in the Lakers' first playoff game.

Grand Valley State led 7-3 at halftime after a sloppy first half that featured

three missed field goals by North Dakota and two turnovers by the Lakers.

The Fighting Sioux took the opening kickoff and drove 56 yards in 10

plays to set up a 36-yard field goal by Cameron Peterka. The North Dakota

kicker missed field-goal attempts from 47, 38 and 36 yards later in the

half.

The Lakers drove 70 yards in 10 plays late in the first quarter with Brady

scoring on a two-yard-run. The drive featured both Grand Valley State

quarterbacks, with Wojciechowski completing passes of 19 and 20 yards to

David Kircus, and Brady setting up the score with an 18-yard run to the 5.

North Dakota's Mike O'Neil intercepted two of Wojciechowski's passes in

the first half, including one at the goal line when the Lakers were threaten-

ing midway through the second quarter.

Allendale, Mich. - Grand Valley State will make its second straight trip to Florence,

Alabama for the NCAA DII National Championship game after rolling past North-

ern Colorado 44-7 in Saturday's semifinal matchup at Lubbers Stadium. The Lakers

jumped out to a 24-0 halftime lead and never looked back as GVSU recorded its 22nd

straight home victory. Senior Harlon Hill candidate Curt Anes hooked up with All-

mon added the other two scores. GVSU, which has been ranked #1 all season, will

ber 14th, at 4:00 pm EST.

for the first of their four pass-catch TDs. The first covered 16 yards. Kircus and Anes

hooked up again, this time from 24 yards out at the 8:18 mark of the second quarter

to put GVSU up 21-0. Anes scrambled around for near 10 seconds before finding

Kircus. PK David Hendrix drilled a 24-yard field goal with 2:26 left in the second

quarter to give GVSU a 24-0 lead. Northern Colorado drove down to the Laker five

yard line with under a minute left in the opeing half, but three straight Laker QB

sacks forced the Bears into a field goal which Keyonta Marshall blocked.

Northern Colorado got on the board with their first possession of the second half

with a 4-play, 65-yard drive. QB Mark Passard connected with Jared Jackson on a 22-

yard TD. However, the Lakes answered with an impressive 5-play, 67-yard TD drive

with Spearmon going the final 13 yards for the TD. Anes and Kircus hooked up with

2:58 left in the third quarter on a 21-yard TD and again in the fourth quarter, this from

5-yards out.

The Grand Valley State defense recorded nine QB sacks and limited UNC to just

five yards rushing on 25 carries. Eight Lakers combined for the nine QB sacks, while

GVSU also picked off three passes. Scott Mackey, Joe Ballard and Marvis Bryant

each recorded a pick. Orlando Williams led the defense with nine tackles and three

QB sacks, while Scott Mackey and Dan Vaughn each recorded seven. Vaughn also

ceiver David Kircus with a 10-yard scoring pass with 1:04 left in the game to lift

Grand Valley State to a 31-24 victory and the 2002 NCAA Division II Football Na-

sity sport.

Valdosta State opened the scoring with a field goal by Will Rhody at the 6:23 mark

of the first quarter. The field goal capped an 8-play, 89-yard drive and put the Lakers

behind for just the second time in 2002. The VSU lead didn't last long as GVSU went

58 yards in just two plays. Anes hit Kircus with a 49-yard pass play, and Reggie Spear-

mon carried the ball in from 9-yards out to put the Lakers up 7-3. The Blazers were

forced to punt on its ensuing drive and the Lakers struck quickly again. Anes hit Kir-

cus again, this time with a 54-yards out and David Hendrix added the PAT to put the

Lakers up 14-3. GVSU drove 23 yards in five plays and Hendrix hit a 38-yard field

goal to put GVSU up 17-3. VSU added a field goal late in the second quarter to pull

GVSU led 24-6. VSU scored it first TD of the game midway through the third quar-

ter as Aaron Jenkins rambled in from seven yards out to cap a 14-play, 56-yard drive.

margin. Rhody kicked a 43-yard field goal, followed by a mishandled snap by Laker

QB Curt Anes that VSU's Tim Thompson recovered for TD. Buster Faulkner hit C.J.

Lofton with the two-point conversion to tie the game at 24-24 with 3:09 left.

Terrence Banks put the Lakers in good field position with a 30-yard kickoff return.

Anes and Kircus then went to work. Anes hit Kircus with an 8-yard completion, then

a 33-yard stop-n-go. Facing a third and nine from the VSU 26 yard line, Anes hit Kir-

cus with a 10-yard completion. Spearmon ran six yards to the Blazer 10 to set up the

winning score. Anes checked from a run play to pass play and hit Kircus with the Na-

tional Championship winning score.

Anes completed 23-of-36 passes for 361 yards and three TDs. Kircus caught a cham-

pionship game record 11 passes for record 270 yards and three TDs. Terrence Banks

caught nine passes for 66 yards, while Brent Lesniak rushed eight times for 56 yards.

the bell the past three weeks. They have not let up a touchdown now in 12 consecu-

tive quarters of playoff competition. That's a lot to be said in terms of how we got

back here.

"We got back here on the backs of our defense."

The defense sought redemption for a dejecting end to the 2001 contest against

North Dakota.

The Fighting Sioux edged Grand Valley two years ago when they scored on a 1-

yard touchdown run with 29 seconds left.

A 58-yard reception for a tight end off a missed tackle set up the decisive score.

This year, North Dakota were thinking of a similar end when GVSU's David Hen-

drix missed a 43-yard field goal with 3 minutes, 54 seconds remaining.

The Fighting Sioux (12-2) moved up the field and put themselves in a 1st-and-10

at the Grand Valley 17-yard line. They downed the ball to stop the clock. The Lakers

then forced two incomplete passes, including a third-down one that fell incomplete in

the end zone.

North Dakota quarterback John Bowenkamp looked to keep the drive alive on

fourth quarter, but GVSU linebacker Mike Hoad stepped in front of the pass at the 5-

yard line. The Lakers squashed the comeback bid.

"We thought the defense had to step up a lot this year," said Hoad, a senior. "We

had our backs up against the wall at the end. I think (the resilience) was typical of our

seniors and our character."

Hoad and his teammates would have been tested further had the Fighting Sioux got

into the end zone. North Dakota, which missed two field goals during the game, would

have gone for the go-ahead two-point conversion had they scored, according to Fight-

ing Sioux coach Dale Lennon.

Instead, North Dakota was dealing with a tough loss.

"They beat us at our game," Lennon said.

The low-scoring contest featured only a 19-yard David Hendrix field goal midway

through the first quarter.

The Lakers too the opening drive 79 yards in 17 plays before reaching the 1-yard

line and settling for a field goal. The drive was Grand Valley's second-longest of the

season.

Neither team scored in the half. The 3-0 score was the lowest at halftime of NCAA

Division II Championship Game history since 1989 when Mississippi College and

Jacksonville State were scoreless.

North Dakota, which had not been shutout in a half this season, threatened right

away in the third quarter, though

The Fighting Sioux took the opening drive of the second half and marched 63 yards

to the GVSU 7-yard line. On third-and-four, quarterback John Bowenkamp dropped

back to pass then scrambled to his right.

A charging Grand Valley linebacker, Lucius Hawkins, hit Bowenkamp after he

pump-faked and forced a fumble. Hawkins scooped up the football and raced 59 yards

to the North Dakota 20-yard line.

Four plays later, running back Michael Tennessee barrelled into the end zone from

1 yard out. Tennessee's 16th touchdown of the season and a Hendrix extra point put

the Lakers ahead 10-0 with 9:15 remaining in the third quarter.

The Fighting Sioux bounced back on their next series and set themselves up for a

43-yard field goal.

Kicker Jeff Glas, however, slipped on his approach and Grand Valley defensive line-

man Keyonta Marshall easily deflected the kick.

Glas also pulled a 46-yard field goal in the first quarter. It was the fourth time this

season Glas had missed at least two field goals in a game. Glas finally connected on

a 35-yard field goal 9:47 into the fourth quarter.

It wasn't enough.

Grand Valley joined the 1999 Northern Colorado team as the only ones to win a

national championship while never playing at a home.

The Lakers won four road games in the playoffs and six in a row including the reg-

ular season.

"It means a lot (to earn a national title by winning four consecutive games on the

road.)," Kelly said. "They did it in tough circumstances. Maybe they can get credit for

being one of those all-time great teams."

Florence, Ala. - A determined North Dakota football team could not break the will of

the Grand Valley State University defense this time.

The Lakers held off a potential game-winning drive late, intercepting a pass near

the goal line to preserve a 10-3 win in the NCAA Division II Championship Game

Saturday.

The effort in front of a Braly Municipal Stadium crowd of 7,236 allowed GVSU

to become the sixth Division II team to win back-to-back national titles since the

first championship game in 1973.

Grand Valley (14-1) would be celebrating three titles in a row if North Dakota had-

n't rallied in 2001 to beat the Lakers 17-14 with a fourth-quarter drive.

“That was deja vu that North Dakota moved the ball down field," GVSU coach Brian

Kelly said, referring to the game's dramatic finish. "Our defense has just answered

Rory Steinbach and Justin Ulberg for a loss on third down with just one sec-ond remaining. Northwest Missouri used its last timeout to set up the finalplay. Robinson was wide open briefly, but the defense swarmed after the balland kept him out of the end zone. “I was very confident,” Lamberson saidSaturday night. “That’s been the motto of our team - our backs against thewall. And they’ve been against the wall all year. So when we got in that hud-dle, it was like last week. We were very confident that we were going tomove the ball down the field and score.”

Grand Valley, ranked No. 1 in national Division II polls, ended its season13-0. “It’s been a great season,” said Joe Ballard of Chesaning, who helpedmake the game-ending tackle. “I’ll miss everyone here. I hope they go getit again next year.”

Senior wide receiver Brandon Langston of Northville caught a 35-yardtouchdown pass from junior quarterback Cullen Finnerty of Brighton with4:25 left for the winning score. Finnerty moved Grand Valley 82 yards aftertaking over midway through the fourth quarter. He converted three third-down plays on the drive. On third-and-four, he hit Langston on a slant pat-tern, and the receiver raced 35 yards for a score with 4:25 to play. “Theygave me an inch of space and I got great blocks from Antoine Trent and Je-remy Cochrane,” Langston said. “I had the easy part, I just had to catch itand run down the field.”

Ballard said he had one thing on his mind on the game’s last play. “I justwanted to keep him (Robinson) out of the end zone,” the Lakers safety said.“That was the biggest thing. We wanted to make sure we made the tackle.”

Martin, the defensive coordinator of the first two championship teams, saideach national title celebration has been enjoyable. “The journey is too farand still a lot of fun,” he said. It’s never old hat. If we go there again in thefuture, that moment would be just as special.”

Northwest Missouri (11-4) was the first team to win four straight road play-off games, but lost for the first time in three championship game appear-ances. The Bearcats made the championship game with Raphael Robinson’sonly touchdown catch of the season, a three-yarder with 23 seconds left tobeat North Alabama the previous week, also at Braly Municipal Stadium.

Coach Mel Tjeerdsma practically assumed Robinson would score and histeam would pull out another improbable win. “I felt like we were going towin the game until he didn’t get in the end zone,” Tjeerdsma said. “I didn’thave any doubts.”

Florence, Ala. - Celebrating a national championship is starting to becomeroutine for Grand Valley State football fans. More than 200 fans greeted theLakers at the Grand Valley Fieldhouse Sunday, a day after the team wonthe school’s third NCAA Division II national championship in four years.

After flying into Grand Rapids, coach Chuck Martin and his team were oncampus for the first time since their 21-17 victory over Northwest MissouriState on Saturday in Florence, Ala. “We want to thank all our great fans andfriends,” Martin said. “We have the best fans in Division II by far.”

The Lakers, who also won the national title in 2002 and 2003, were run-ners-up in 2001. Martin pointed out that all four games came down “to thelast tick of the clock.”

On the last play of Saturday’s game, from the Lakers’ 22-yard line, North-west Missouri quarterback Josh Lamberson rolled right and hit RaphaelRobinson inside the 5 on the opposite side of the field. Robinson spun, butthe Lakers brought him down four yards short to end the 81-yard drive andclinch the national championship.

“We wanted to make sure it wasn’t a boring game for you,” Martin joked toLakers fans. “I told the team that we wanted to make sure that another gamecame down to the end. Obviously, we found a way to make that last play.”Lamberson completed five consecutive passes to move the Bearcats down-field. They made it to the 17 but Lamberson was chased out of bounds by
