Bob Hetler to Retire June 30
After serving the NDHSAA for thirty years, Bob Hetler is moving on to another chapter in his life.
Hetler said it has been a great ride and a career decision made in 1978 he never regretted. “I feel very
close to the forensic, play and music people I have served and hope I have positively impacted the lives of
some students along the way.” He also thanks all the school administrators and college people who helped
make his job so enjoyable.
Bob started with the NDHSAA in August of 1978 as the coordinator of all forensics, drama and music
activities and in charge of publications and press relations. Before that he taught junior and senior high
school English at Northwood from 1965 though May of 1978. While at Northwood High School, he was
the director of speech and drama activities, an assistant football coach and elementary basketball coach and
was a member of the NDHSAA Speech Advisory Committee.
Hetler has a B.S. Degree in Education (Communication, from Mayville State University, 30 graduate
credits from the University of North Dakota/North Dakota State University.)
While in Valley City, Bob has been president of the Optimist Club, Chairman of United Way, and
served on two Valley City Public School Building Committees. He has also been the starter for the Dakota
Region Soap Box Derby in Valley City for eleven years and served 7 years on the Our Saviors Lutheran Church Council. He is presently
a member of Faith Lutheran Church, the church choir and is in his 31st year as a Sunday School teacher.
Hetler served 20 years as Treasurer and board member of the Communication, Speech and Theatre Association, and was 1992 inductee of the CSTAND Hall of Fame. He also served as an associate board member of the North Dakota Music Educators Association.

Thank You for a Good Year!
The NDHSAA staff and Board of Directors take this opportunity to thank all school administrators, activities directors, coaches and
managers who have helped make 2007/08 a good year.
With all of the organization and decisions that have to be made for the good of our students, this gigantic job could not be accomplished
without teamwork. We appreciate the time you spend as managers and committee chairpersons. We appreciate all the committee work it
takes to keep all activities viable with the times.
As we speed along in the twenty-first century, change will always be on the front burner. We appreciate the optimistic tone of our
members in working hard to solve the problems of the day and yet offer so many great opportunities for our youth.
Thank you and have a restful summer.
Re-Design of Website
The NDHSAA website will take on a new look beginning July 1st. We are re-designing the website in order to better serve our member schools. We surveyed superintendents, principals, activities directors, coaches, parents, students, and other people interested in high
school activities in North Dakota concerning what should be included in the new design. We had a great response to our survey and
gathered a multitude of ideas on how we can better serve our member schools through our website.
School contacts will be notified of changes via email and additional information will be offered at the Administrative Summer Meetings in August. Watch for changes!

2008 North Dakota High School Coaches Association Convention
The 2008 NDHSCA Coaches Convention has been in planning since last August. Although efforts are always made to be ahead of
schedule, we are always faced with stress to finalize details on time. To date nearly all of the football, basketball, volleyball and wrestling
speakers are contracted. Of course the big news is that a Friday program of soccer speakers have been added for coaches. The soccer
speakers include Pete Cuadrado, Dan Weiler, Levi Evans and John Ross. NDHSAA will also present a soccer rules interpretation meeting.
The speakers for the year should provide an additional interest as we have been able to secure several excellent speakers for the
convention. Wrestling coaches have given directions to find presenters that are big in skills. Because the USA Wrestling program ends
on Wednesday, coach availability is more accessible. of coaches is Clay Nagel, Concordia College (MN); Davy Zinke, Rolla HS; Dave
Dougherty, Watford City HS; and Kelly McNary have been invited to present. Wrestling coaches will also hold an Advisory Committee
Meeting and a NDHSAA Rules Meeting.
The basketball staff has a strong nucleus with presentations by Saul Phillips, NDSU; Mike Wacker, Judson HS (TX); Will Ryan, NDSU;
Brian Jones, UND; and Ryan Moody, UND; will serve the coaches of the state with enthusiasm. Other coaches have been contacted to
complete the sport’s expertise. The Advisory Committee Meeting will hold a meeting to study recommendations for the 2009 Advisory
Meeting.
Football coaches will have presentations from Craig Bohl, NDSU; and Chris Mussman, UND. Football coaches will also hold an
Advisory Committee Meeting and David Carlsrud will conduct a Football Rules Meeting for NDHSAA.
Volleyball presentations will be delivered by Erich Hinterstocker, NDSU; Dave Moody, Dickinson State; Kevin Peterson, Enderlin HS;
and Missy Wilson of Fargo North HS. Volleyball coaches will also hold an Advisory Committee Meeting and Sheryl Solberg will present
a Volleyball Rules Meeting for NDHSAA.
Cross-Country coaches will have presentations provided by Mark Bilden, Custer County HS (MT); Pete Stanton will present for
Track and Field Coaches. Kelly Kremer from University of Minnesota will present for Swimming and Diving. Other coaches have been
contacted and will be placed on the Convention Schedule as they accept.
Nine-man football, tennis, golf, and cross country coaches will have a full curriculum for the convention.
The golf scramble will be held on Wednesday, July 25th at the Rose Creek Course again. The scramble is organized to accommodate
60 golfers---the first 60 to pay fees will be accepted. Green fees are $55 and includes cart rental. Teams of four people will be signed up.
Signup takes place on Wednesday morning at the registration desk, but only with receipts in hand.
The Convention Tentative Schedule will be placed on the website on May fifteenth. As each speaker is confirmed thereafter, the speakers and presentation titles will be added to the schedule. Find the website at www.fargo.k12.nd.us/ndhsca. The convention registration
form can also be found on the website.
If anyone has questions regarding the convention, please contact Gelaine Orvik at 701-367-8282 or 701-237-9711. Contact Gelaine
by e-mail at [email protected].

team from the group.
(B). Repeat Step 2A until the region record between the remaining tied teams can be used.
CASE I: A five-team tie. Step 1, compare the point differentials among teams A, B, C, D and E. Team A has the highest point total. RULING: Team A is first. Then, the region record among the remaining tied teams, B is 2-1, C is 2-1, D is 1-2 and E is 1-2. In this case B &
C are 2nd & 3rd as determined by region record with B.
CASE II: When teams A, B, and C are tied:
(a) Team B defeated C and A.
RULING: Step 1 would determine B to be first and the region game between C and A would determine 2nd and 3rd.
(b) If A defeated B, B defeated C and C defeated A.
RULING: Step 2-A would be used to find the top team and step 2-B, the region game between the other two would determine 2nd and
3rd.
Step 3 If a tie in point differential exists after Step 2, the names of tied teams will be placed in a hat and drawn 1st, 2nd, etc. until steps
1 and 2 can be used among remaining tied teams. Head-to-head competition shall be used whenever possible.
