Phil Powell, President
Head Coach Mike Leonard
Mike Leonard, Head Coach
When Mike Leonard became Franklin College’s head football coach in 2003, he sought to accomplish much more than field
a winning team.
Since taking the reins of the Grizzlies’ program, Leonard’s top priority has been to instill a collective will among his players
to work and play smart. Players will learn how to give their best effort, whether it’s in the class room, on the practice field
or on game day.
For him the rewards are more than winning football games and championships. Leonard wants his players to benefit from
the special life lessons that athletics teach and the camaraderie and collective pride that true teammates experience together each season.
In less than five seasons, Leonard and his staff elevated the Grizzlies to a level not seen for many years at FC. They emerged from also-ran
status to winning a football championship in the Heartland Collegiate Athletic Conference. Not only did Franklin claim its first league title
outright with a 7-0 conference record, but the “Griz” earned its first automatic berth in the NCAA Division III playoffs, making its first
post-season appearance of any kind since 1972.
Franklin equaled its 2006 school record for most victories in a season with a final overall record of 9-2 and kept the Victory Bell trophy
after defeating arch-rival Hanover College for the third straight season.
A record 10 Franklin players were named to the All-HCAC First Team and Leonard was named the conference’s Coach of the Year for the
second consecutive year.
Franklin continued edging closer to that goal in 2006, posting a 6-1 record in the league for a second-place finish, and producing a 9-1
overall mark, both best-ever records at Franklin at the time. The Grizzlies narrowly missed an at-large bid to compete in the NCAA playoffs.
Despite the Grizzlies’ recent spectacular successes, the upcoming 2008 season poses the same challenges for Leonard and his team,
which again will return most of its starters and is brimming with confidence.
“Our goal that we set every year is to win the conference championship,” said Leonard, the 17th head coach in the
history of FC’s program. “We need to start fast in our first three non-conference games and then finish strong.”
When Leonard arrived at the Franklin College helm in January of 2003, he sought to raise the confidence and
conditioning levels of his new team right away. The Grizzlies’ new attitude in Leonard’s program involves: always
think positive; strive for perfection; stay on the aggressive; enjoy football and enjoy life.
According to Leonard: “Those four things, whether you’re playing football, studying for your classes or applying
them in your profession, will give you the best chance for success.”
The Franklin head coach is maintaining a long-standing tradition at FC, throwing the football with a quick-strike
offensive attack. The team’s football logo features an F, which stands not only for Franklin, but also for former
Grizzlies mentor Stewart “Red” Faught. Faught’s teams were noted for their high-scoring run-and-shoot
offenses for most of his 32 years as head coach. Much of Leonard’s offensive system, the Red Attack
offense, is taken from Faught’s playbook.
Leonard has been involved with many other successful football programs in his past coaching career.
Prior to taking the reins of the Grizzlies program, Leonard served as offensive coordinator
for his alma mater, Hanover College, from the 1999 through 2002 seasons. In the 2002
campaign, Hanover’s offense was ranked fifth in total offense, second in team passing
offense and fourth in team scoring offense among all Division III schools.
During the 1996 and 1997 seasons, Leonard served as offensive coordinator at
Wittenberg University (Ohio), the winningest football program in NCAA Division III
history. He also served as an assistant coach with the professional Recruit Seagulls
in Tokyo, Japan, which won the national championship there in 1998.
His other assistant coaching experiences include serving as quarterback coach
at Butler University in 1992, coaching wide receivers at College of the Holy Cross
(Mass.) in 1991 and serving in his first tenure as offensive coordinator at Hanover
from 1987 to 1991. Leonard was a graduate assistant coach at DePauw University
(1984-86) and the University of Alabama (1986).
Leonard received his bachelor’s degree from Hanover in 1984 and his master’s degree
from DePauw University in 1986. As a football player at Hanover, he lettered four years.
Leonard was a team captain, most valuable player and mental attitude award winner
in his senior season of 1983.
He is a member of the American Football Coaches Association and enjoys speaking at a
variety of community functions. Leonard and his wife, Susan, have two children, Bart and
Emily, and reside in Franklin.

Heartland Conference
HCAC
The Heartland Collegiate Athletic Conference was born as the Indiana Collegiate Athletic Conference on June 23, 1987, when
the presidents of six private Indiana colleges and universities formed an association based on the academic excellence of each institution.
Nineteen months of planning went into the development of the league–created to allow small college students to realize their ideal of the
scholar-athlete.
The league’s charter members included men’s athletic teams from Anderson University, DePauw University, Franklin College, Hanover
College, Manchester College and Wabash College. Taylor University and Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology joined the slate in 1988.
The league not only distinguished itself as an “academic athletic conference,” but permitted schools to restore athletic rivalries which,
in some cases, dated back to the 19th century.
During the spring of 1991 the presidents of the member institutions voted
to alignthe conference with the National Collegiate Athletic Association.
At that time, Franklin, Anderson, Hanover and Manchester elected to join
DePauw, Rose-Hulman and Wabash as NCAA Division III affiliates. Taylor,
which entered the league in 1988, withdrew from the conference in 1991.
Following the 1997-98 academic year, DePauw and Rose-Hulman departed to join the Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference. In 1997,
the conference accepted three new institutions from Ohio -- Bluffton College, College of Mount St. Joseph and Wilmington College -which began competing for HCAC championships during the 1998-99 academic year. The league announced its new name of Heartland
Collegiate Athletic Conference in May of 1998 with Tom Bohlsen as its commissioner.
During the 1998-99 academic year, Wabash announced it would begin affiliation with the North Coast Athletic Conference in 1999-2000.
Also prior to ‘99-00, the HCAC announced Defiance College (Ohio) would become a full member during the 2000 spring sports season.
Wilmington then departed the HCAC to join the Ohio Athletic Conference in 2000-01. During that year, the league announced Transylvania
University in Lexington, Ky. would join the HCAC slate in 2001-02. The HCAC added a ninth member during the 2004-05 academic year.
Rose-Hulman, which was affiliated with the ICAC from 1988 to1998, returned to the league in 2006-07. Prior to the 2008-09 academic
year, Chris Ragsdale was hired as commissioner, succeeding Bohlsen, who retired.
Heartland league championships are awarded in eight men’s sports, including baseball, basketball, cross country, football, golf, soccer,
tennis and track and field.
The conference added a women’s athletics division–beginning with the 1993-94 academic year–which included five schools from the
former Hoosier Conference for Women. Women’s championships are awarded in basketball, cross country, golf, soccer, softball, tennis,
track and field and volleyball.

Battle For The Victory Bell
Besides the obvious objective of winning, nothing can stoke the fires of football competition quite like a good
old-fashioned rivalry.
The Rivalry
For Franklin College, nothing gets its collective adrenaline flowing as much as the sight of old enemy Hanover College
taking the same playing field. Since 1898, the Grizzlies-Panthers series is one which few small-college rivalries can
rival.
The Victory Bell has been given to the winner of the Hanover-Franklin football game since 1938. Hanover College’s
Bat Club, a non-athletic organization that wanted to improve school spirit, presented the idea for the trophy.
Then-Hanover president Albert Parker designated the Franklin game, which was approved by Franklin’s athletic
board and student body.
Hanover has a 35-16 record in games against Franklin with the Victory Bell Trophy on the line. The all-time series
began in 1898 with HC winning that inaugural meeting 18-11. The series was interrupted by a 17-year stretch from
1971 to 1988 with the formation of the then Indiana Collegiate Athletic Conference.
Their renewed annual meeting now enters its 21st year with Hanover leading the all-time series 42-32-3 in the 77
meetings between the two rivals. This year’s rivalry clash will be at Franklin’s Faught Stadium on Nov. 24.
Here are year-by-year highlights since the series resumed in 1988:
1988
The rivalry was back on with the help of
both schools’ alumni councils and with
the fact both schools would be in the new
Indiana Collegiate Athletic Conference
beginning in the 1989 season. The game
marked the last time Franklin mentor
Stewart “Red” Faught coached against
the Panthers and the Grizzlies dominated
in a 34-13 decision at FC’s Goodell Field.
Franklin jubilantly carried away the Victory
Bell trophy, which had been refurbished by
FC alumnus Jerry McKinney ’73.
1989
The game marked the first time new
FC head coach Mike McClure ’75 faced
his former team. He was an offensive
coordinator for the Panthers in the
mid-eighties. Hanover scored its first two
touchdowns early, both by capitalizing on
Franklin turnovers. The Panthers, ranked
12th in the nation in NAIA Division II,
then outscored the Grizzlies 36-9 over
the final three quarters in a 49-16 rout
at Hanover’s L.S. Ayres Field.
1990
With FC star quarterback Reece Mann
sidelined for his final game by a knee
injury, senior Jeff Griman made his first
start in a Bell Game. Griman completed 32
passes for 328 yards and four touchdowns,
but behind the deft passing of Paul Gray
and the running of BrianGlesing and a host
of other weapons, the Panthers prevailed in
a 47-33 verdict at Hanover.
14
1991
The Grizzlies struggled for most of the
season, but played the favored Panthers
even in the opening half. Host FC then
took a two-touchdown lead in the third
quarter, but Hanover rallied for 17 points in
the fourth period. Dan Farrington kicked a
27-yard field goal with time running out to
lift the Panthers to a 34-31 victory. The rivals
combined for 1,110 total offensive yards.
1992
1995
Kicker Shaun Mahoney’s clutch 35-yard
field goal in freezing weather put the
host Grizzlies up by two points with three
minutes left, but Hanover scored on a late
59-yard desperation drive to win 26-22.
The Panthers finished their season
unbeaten and earned their first NCAA
Division III playoffs berth.
1996
Franklin naturally wanted to avoid a winless
season, especially if it could get the Bell
back at Hanover to boot. On a windy
and snowy day, the Panthers took a 10-0
halftime lead, withstood a touchdown drive
by Franklin to open the second half and
went on to win 31-7.
Quite unlike the previous November, the
rivals played in 62-degree weather – this
time at Hanover. Franklin took control
early with a 7-0 first-quarter lead, but
couldn’t move the football much after
that in a 27-14 setback.
1993
The Grizzlies hoped to salvage a
disappointing season with a Bell Game
victory and hoped special gold jerseys
might change their luck. Hanover’s
offense was hampered by a sloppy
field and weather that included a driving
horizontal snow shower, but the Panthers
won 19-7.
The Grizzlies delighted a capacity crowd at
Goodell Field with a thrilling 41-28 victory,
capping FC’s best one-year turnaround in
school history – from 0-9-1 the previous
year to 6-3). Franklin’s Mike Flaherty rushed
for three touchdowns, but the Grizzlies had
to hold off a fierce fourth-quarter rally by
the Panthers. It was Coach McClure’s only
victory against HC.
1994
It was a bitter loss for Franklin, which
rallied from two-touchdown deficits twice
in the second half before falling 49-42 in
a shootout. Taking advantage of a pass
interference penalty the Grizzlies were
positive would be whistled the other way,
the host Panthers drove down and scored
the winning TD with 10 seconds left.
Hanover quarterback Terry Peebles had a
whopping 71 passing attempts, completing
43 of them for 492 yards and six TDs. The
game lasted nearly four hours.
1997
1998
Franklin came to Hanover with confidence as the Grizzlies were assured of a
winning season with six victories in tow
under new head coach Bill Unsworth ’71.
Franklin scored on a return of a fumble
by linebacker Josh McMillin and got an
89-yard kickoff return by Jim Larkin, but
the Panthers captured their 26th straight
home game victory in a 41-20
decision.
Defense turned out to be the name of the game at Franklin’s new
Faught Stadium, but Hanover’s “D” was stingier and had seven sacks.
The Panthers rallied from a 10-6 second-quarter deficit to win 27-10
and finish unbeaten in the conference.
2000
Both teams put on a show with better than 800 combined yards of
passing offense, but Hanover jumped out to a 19-0 lead on its first three
possessions. Franklin attempted to rally after that, but was hindered by
turnovers. The Panthers won the Heartland Conference’s automatic bid
to the NCAA playoffs.
2001
2001 – Visiting Franklin took a 6-0 lead into the second quarter, but it
was all Hanover after that in a 54-6 decision at L.S. Ayres Field.
2002
The Grizzlies’ fortunes were no better in their return visit to Hanover
as the Panthers capped an unbeaten season with a 57-12 rout of FC.
After the hosts took control in the second quarter, they were fired up
even more when kicker Drew Starck hit a 52-yard field goal with time
running out in the first half.
2003
The game marked the first time new Franklin head coach Mike Leonard
would face his alma mater. Though the Grizzlies entered with a 2-7
record, they took a 17-14 lead into the intermission. But the Panthers
got busy in the second half and pounded out a 33-24 victory at Faught
Stadium.
2004
Hanover controlled the ground (299 yards rushing) and the clock
(almost 43 of the 60 minutes) in winning 24-7 before a huge Faught
Stadium crowd in perfect football weather. The game was the first for
Franklin College’s football program to be produced for local cable
television presentation.
2005
The Grizzlies ended 11 games of football frustration by rolling up 558
total offensive yards and taking a 24-0 lead before host Hanover could
even gain more than one first down. Franklin’s stunning 45-15 victory
was its most lopsided triumph in the series since 1960. When the
scoreboard clock hit zeroes, FC students nearly outran the team in
claiming the Victory Bell trophy.

The Rivalry
1999
2006
Franklin shrugged off a slow start and finished fast in a 35-10 rout
on a cold, gray day at Faught Stadium. Sophomore quarterback Chad
Rupp threw three TD passes for the Grizzlies, who not only kept the
Victory Bell trophy, but posted a school single-season record ninth win.
Freshman linebacker Teddy Henkle made an interception for the third
straight game. FC finished with a 6-1 mark in the HCAC.
2007
The Grizzlies routed the host Panthers 55-14 in longtime Hanover head
coach Wayne Perry’s last game. The decision clinched Franklin’s first
HCAC outright championship and marked the fifth time FC scored 50
or more points against a conference opponent during the season.
Franklin’s three-peat against Hanover was its first since 1962-64.
