Former Coach Makes Impact Beyond Sports
BY ZANE GARD
Sports Writer
Harder than a stand is
the loss of a friend. Harder
than tumbling is the loss of
a coach. Harder than a routine is the loss of a mentor.
Last October, Grace College

enthusiasm and passion
during the 2008-09 season
despite hospitalizing health
problems. Green passed
away suddenly and unexpectedly on Oct. 9, 2009 at
the age of 25.
“With so many girls being
far from home, Coach took
the role of a parent,” said
sophomore Lindsey Bruner.
“She wanted to k now more
about our lives than ever y
other adult. She did well
w ith encouraging us outside
of cheerleading, and into
ever y aspect of our lives.
She really took me under her
arm.”
A 2006 graduate of Grace
College, Green coached
cheerleading for one year.
However, her impact w ill
go beyond both the length
of her life and her role as a
cheer coach.
Green’s departure has certainly been felt by the team.
“Even though she wasn’t
supposed to be healthy
enough to do the stunts w ith
us, she still did them to help
us,” added senior Stephanie
McNutt.
Senior Jenna Dailey said
that Green’s strength was
in ma x imizing talent. “She
really brought the team to a
whole new stunt level. She
also was ver y good at utilizing each of us at what
we’re good at,” she said.
“This made us a better
team because ever yone was
getting stronger at their
strengths so we always performed our best.”
Current head coach Jenna
Carter said “Green did a
good job of getting the team
to work together last year.”
Carter, also a 2006 Grace
graduate, is no stranger to
coming in as a coach under
unusual circumstances. She
became a cheerleading coach
at Warsaw Communit y High
School in 2008 af ter the
entire coaching staff lef t.
Referring to her role as a
new coach, Carter ex plained,
“It becomes a learning year.
The k ids responded positively, but it still takes getting used to.”
This year, the cheer squad
is learning from each other.

Track and Field Opens Season at IWU
MARION, Ind. -- Grace College’s men’s and women’s track and field
teams got their seasons underway at Indiana Wesleyan on Saturday.
Led by interim head coach Art Woodruff, the Lancers placed well in
their first meet including six NCCAA qualifying marks for the women’s
team. Two members of the men’s team (Billy Starkey in the high jump
and Randy Sterk in the mile) just missed their qualifying marks as well.
“It was a good first meet that will allow us to have a better gauge on
where we stand and where we need to improve,” Woodruff said.
The women’s team had a great day on the field, gaining three qualifiers
in the weight throw, and on the track, with three additional qualifiers.
“We will continue our training and aim toward improving and qualifying in other events,” Woodruff continued. “I was pleased with the overall
effort that everyone gave and look forward to another meet next week at
IWU.”

the worst day of my life, but
cheerleading is something
that I love,” Dailey said. “It
allows me to forget things
going on outside of the f loor
and just have a great time.”
A n of ten-used phrase in
sports is: “It doesn’t matter
if you w in or lose, it’s how
you play the game.” Cheerleading , unlike other sports,
does not measure w ins and
losses. Its success is measured by teamwork . “I want
the k ids to become a team
unit,” Carter said. “The
theme for this year is learning to work together. It’s
a gradual process that is
achieved through hard work
and practice.”
Despite a somber beginning to the season, the
cheer team has persevered.
But they haven’t forgotten
the coach that helped make
them who they are today. “In
hard times, you need to surround yourself w ith people,”
McNutt said. “Coach Green
always said, ‘Love God. Love
people.’ Through that, our
squad became our family.”
Green’s legacy goes far
beyond athletics. Life can
end at any given moment.
“It was God ’s plan for her
not to be w ith us when she
died,” McNutt conf ided.
“It brought the team closer
together than we would have
been.”
Grace Can’t Keep Up With No. 24 Marian
WINONA LAKE, Ind. -- Normally a strong rebounding team, Grace’s women’s basketball team
struggled on the boards against No. 24 Marian on Wednesday night, losing their fourth straight
game, 71-46.
The Lady Lancers (7-16; 3-7 MCC) were outrebounded by 17 on the night and gave up 11
offensive boards to one of the best rebounding teams in the nation. The Lady Knights (15-8; 7-3
MCC) rank seventh in the nation in rebounding margin, averaging over nine more rebounds per
game than their opponents.
Grace opened the game with turnovers on three of its first five possessions, allowing Marian to
jump out to an early lead. But the Lady Lancers continued to fight as a bucket by senior Demetria
Eley brought the score to 20-18.
However, turnovers continued to plague the Lady Lancers as they turned the ball over 14 times
before halftime. Marian started rolling as a result and went on an 11-1 run to make the score 31-19
with 3:49 left in the first half.
The Lady Knights used that momentum to score the first nine points in the opening minutes
of the second half to open up a 22-point lead. Grace never got closer than 17 points the rest of the
way.
“The number one thing we had to do was bring energy,” said head coach Scott Blum. “Marian
had a lot to play for being in the top 25 poll. We just didn’t come with the same energy that they had
tonight.”

O Lancer, Where Art Thou?
What
happened
to
the
Lancers?
At the
turn
of
the year,
there were
w hispers
about an
improba b l e
third-straight berth to the NAIA
National Tournament for Grace’s
men’s basketball team. Less than
a month later…we are undoubtedly at the lowest point of the
season. Fresh off another loss to
the School From Up North and
days removed from a Top 10 Plays
appearance on ESPN (the wrong
end of the highlight), Grace is not
in a good place. In the midst of a
five-game losing streak, the Lancers have dropped into the bottom
third of the conference.
The end of 2009 saw Grace’s
record at 12-4, winners of eight of
their past nine games, and ready
to pounce into the Top 25 poll.
Unfortunately, injuries and the
ever-tough Mid-Central College
Conference season have taken its
toll on the Lancers (13-10; 3-7
MCC) so far in 2010. Although
sophomore forward Dayton Merrell has started playing like he’s
back to 100 percent, the loss of
starting guard David Henry has
been hard to overcome. Grace has
been a .500 team (6-6) without
Henry’s shooting and defense on
the perimeter.
All in all, injuries have robbed
the Lancers of over 40 games so
far this year, including Henry,
Merrell, and junior guard Jake
Peattie, who will redshirt after
sitting out the entire year. To add
insult to injury, freshman spark
plug Lee Ross has sat out the past
three games with a broken nose.
Grace has also struggled
against the upper echelon of
the conference: the team is 0-5
against the top four MCC teams.
The average margin of loss in
those games has been over 10
points. Yikes. Overall, the Lancers have lost seven of their last
nine games—not exactly the type
of stretch needed to stay in the
conference race.
So what needs to happen to
turn things around? To make the
NAIA’s again, in short, they gotta
get hot. Like six-game winning
streak hot. They either win out
the rest of the regular season or
crash the MCC tournament with
three wins to grab the automatic
qualifier—which isn’t entirely out
of the question the way this team
plays at times.
More likely, however, is the
NCCAA National Tournament
in Oakland City, Ind. Granted,
Oakland City is no Branson, Mo.,
but it would be valuable postseason experience for a young team.
They’d have a good shot at winning the NCCAA’s too – four of
the past five winners there have
come from the MCC.
And for all of head coach Jim
Kessler’s success over the years,
the NCCAA’s have been his
Waterloo. Coach K has been to
the NCCAA championship game
four
times
but has won
zero. In order
to make that
happen, the
men need to
pick up some
momentum
after
stumbling out of
the gate in
2010.
Although
Branson
is
most
likely
out of the
picture, the
future is still
bright for the
Lancers. In an
interview after

STAFF REPORT
WINONA LAKE, Ind.
– Former Grace standout and
NAIA First Team All-American center Eric Gaff signed
a contract to play basketball professionally in Oslo,
Norway, for the Asker Aliens
of the Norwegian Professional League.
“I am thankful for the
opportunity to continue
playing basketball,” Gaff
said. “It has always been a
desire to play professionally,
and I am excited to help the
Asker Basketball Club continue to build success. I look
forward to the challenge but
also look forward to the platform of sharing my faith in
Christ and impacting kids in
the community through basketball.”
Last year, Gaff led the
nation in rebounds (12.2 per
game) and double-doubles
(24) while averaging 21.0
points per game in leading
the Lancers to a 22-11 finish.
Gaff also led the Lancers
in back-to-back trips to the
NAIA
National
Tournament in Branson, Mo. Grace
advanced to the “Elite Eight”
round each year.
“It is exciting to see Eric
continue his career overseas,” said Grace men’s basketball coach Jim Kessler. “I
am pleased to see him finish
his academics before taking
the next step in his career.
We look forward to following
his success both on and off

the MCC tournament.
David Henry , men’s
basketball, has a sister that plays
volleyball at Bethel College.
Jim Kessler, men’s basketball, has 605 career victories

“Coach K” earned his 600th
victory in Grace’s 74-73 victory
over Cornerstone on Dec. 11.
He was honored for the feat
on Jan. 9 when Grace played
