14th

Annual GPAC Football Media Day

Sioux City Convention Center

Thursday, August 1, 2013


Great Plains Athletic Conference

Football Media Day 2013

GPAC Commissioner Welcome

On behalf of the membership of the Great Plains Athletic Conference (GPAC) I want to

welcome you to the 2013 GPAC Football Media Day and to the Sioux City Convention

Center. We are pleased to be in Sioux City for our 14th

annual media day as we prepare to

kick-off another year of football in the GPAC. I want to thank David Harris and Kelly

Collins with the Sioux City Convention Center and Center Plate for their assistance

preparation for this annual event. Excitement for media day continues to grow each year in

the league from our inaugural event back in 2000 at Mahoney State Park.

For the second year we are joined by all of the football officials in the conference and our

GPAC Football Officials Coordinators Justin Ingalls and Pete Hansen. I think it’s positive

for the GPAC to have our officials and coaches in the same room at the same time for

discussion on rules and interpretations prior to the season. Also, once again this year, we

will be conducting a media poll along with the coaches’ poll for the preseason. The GPAC

appreciates all the outstanding coverage that the media gives the conference during the year

and this is an opportunity for them to weigh in on the upcoming season.

I want to thank the Coaches, SID’s, and Administrators of the GPAC for their continued

support of GPAC Football. We strive to do it right here in the GPAC and strike a balance

between what happens on and off the field. That’s why our motto is and will continue to be

“Academic and Athletic Excellence Since 2000!” Above all we do it all for the student-

athletes of the GPAC!

Finally, thank you to Wade Tracy (Boys Town in Omaha) for his help with our video feed

today. Special thanks to John Thayer (ESPN Radio 1570 in Yankton) and Wade Tracy for

their assistance in updating the press book for the 2013 season.

On behalf of the more than 4,000 student-athletes that participate in 19 intercollegiate

sports at the eleven member schools in the GPAC I invite you to enjoy GPAC Media Day

and the upcoming football and athletic season in the conference. Please continue to follow

the GPAC on our website at www.gpacsports.com and on Facebook and Twitter.

Yours in GPAC Athletics,

Corey Westra

GPAC Commissioner

Coach Winter on the Offense:

We are excited about our second year in Coach White’s system and want to build off of the improvements we made in 2012. We also

are very aware that we have plenty of work to do to become an elite offense. We desperately need some explosive capabilities as an

offense outside of our quarterback and need to become more consistent in our passing game.

Coach Winter on the Defense:

We have a nice nucleus on defense and out longest and most athletic group in my time here. I’m really excited with how this group

meshed in the spring and the development of our young guys. I thought after our first three games last fall our defense really started to

gel and grow as a unit. We expect big things out of this group this fall.

Coach Achterhoff on the Offense:

Bloemendaal returning under center and a very talented group of receivers, we will be more balanced.

Isaiah Twitty LB, Nate Van Ginkel LB, Jermaine Ambrose DB, Justin Wohlert DB, Jake Zylstra DB, Jerel Kyles DB

Coach Achterhoff on the Defense:

We lose some great experience along the defensive line, but our depth there and at linebacker, along with everyone returning in our
