The origins of the KCAC are traced to February 15, 1890, when the Kansas Intercollegiate Athletic Association became the result of the first successful attempt at organization among Kansas colleges, “to promote and regulate amateur intercollegiate athletics.” At that time the association or conference included not only private universities and colleges but also Kansas Agriculture College (now KSU), Kansas University, and Washburn University. Football seems to have been the major sponsored sport, and Baker University won the championship for the first three or four years. In about 1902 this early association became allied with the Kansas College Athletic Conference, a group which was the first to adopt a definite set of rules and regulations. It also promoted an annual track and field meet which has continued yearly since, except for World War years. Basketball has been sponsored since 1904. Football was revived in 1907. Tennis began as early as 1912. Golf was added in 1923. By this time the name of the conference had been altered to the Kansas Collegiate Athletic Conference; it had grown to 17 college members and two allied members: Baker, Bethany, Bethel, College of Emporia, Fairmount (now WSU), Friends, Kansas Wesleyan, KSTC of Emporia (now ESU), KSTC of Hays (now FHSU), KSTC of Pittsburg (now PSU), McPherson, Ottawa, St.Benedict’s (now Benedictine), St.Mary’s, Sterling (formerly Cooper), Southwestern, and Washburn, and with St.John’s and Kansas City University (Kansas) as allied members. Kansas University and Kansas Aggies had dropped out earlier to join other conferences. In 1923 the College of Emporia, KSTC of Emporia, KSTC of Hays, KSTC of Pittsburg, Wichita (formerly Fairmount), Southwestern, and Washburn withdrew to form the Central Conference. The present legal entity comes from a reorganization of the conference when the predecessor Kansas Intercollegiate Athletic Conference formally disbanded on December 1, 1928, and a new conference was formed which again was called the Kansas College Athletic Conference. The members were Baker, Bethany, Kansas Wesleyan, McPherson, Ottawa, and St.Mary’s colleges. At that time sportswriters quickly gave the KCAC league a nickname: the “Little Six,” in contrast to the Big Six (which became Big Eight, now Big 12) which also was organized in 1928. St.Mary’s College was discontinued in 1931. The College of Emporia returned to the fold in 1933, and Bethel was readmitted in 1939. Friends, a former member of the KIAC, was admitted in 1953. Sterling and Southwestern were approved for membership in 1958. In 1968 Tabor College and St. Mary of the Plains College were admitted to make twelve members in the conference, and the conference was organized into Southern and Northern divisions until 1970 -- when Baker, College of Emporia, and Ottawa withdrew to join two separate Missouri-based conferences. In the mid-1970s the formal name was changed again to Kansas Collegiate Athletic Conference. In 1975 women’s intercollegiate athletics were incorporated into programs of the KCAC. Ottawa was readmitted in 1981, bringing the conference membership to 10. In 1992 St.Mary of the Plains College in Dodge City left the conference and eventually closed. In 1999 Saint Mary College-Leavenworth joined to return the KCAC membership to ten institutions. The “Kansas Conference” (KCAC) continues to be an all-Kansas conference. The KCAC is an affiliated conference of the National Association of intercollegiate Athletics with headquarters in Kansas City, Missouri. Today the KCAC sponsors conference intercollegiate athletics in football, volleyball, men’s cross country, women’s cross country, men’s soccer, women’s soccer, men’s basketball, women’s basketball, men’s indoor track and field, women’s indoor track and field, men’s outdoor track and field, women’s outdoor track and field, baseball, softball, men’s golf, women’s tennis, and men’s tennis. 3 KCAC Schedules KCAC Week - by - Week Schedule Aug. 28 Sept. 11 Sept. 18 Sept. 25 Oct. 2 Oct. 9 Oct. 16 Oct. 23 Oct. 30 Nov. 6 Nov. 13 Bethany @ USM vs. Tabor @ MacMurray vs. KWU @ Bethel vs. SWC @ Friends @ Sterling vs. Ottawa vs. McP Bethel vs. Ottawa vs. Southern Nazarene @ KWU @ Friends vs. Bethany @ USM vs. Tabor vs. SWC @ McP @ Sterling Friends vs. McP @ SWC @ Tabor vs. Bethel @ Sterling vs. Peru State vs. Bethany @ USM vs. KWU @ Ottawa KWU @ Tabor vs. USM vs. Bethel @ Bethany vs. Haskell @ McP vs. Sterling vs. Ottawa @ Friends @ SWC @ Friends vs. Ottawa @ Sterling vs. USM vs. KWU @ SWC vs. Tabor vs. Bethel @ Bethany @ Bethel @ McP vs. Sterling @ SWC vs. Tabor vs. USM @ KWU @ Bethany vs. Friends @ Sterling vs. Friends @ USM vs. Ottawa @ Bethany vs. McP @ Bethel @ Tabor vs. KWU Sterling vs. SWC vs. Peru State @ Ottawa vs. McP vs. Friends @ Tabor @ KWU vs. Bethany @ USM vs. Bethel Tabor vs. KWU @ Bethany vs. Friends @ Peru State @ Ottawa vs. Sterling @ Bethel @ McP vs. SWC vs. USM vs. Bethany @ KWU vs. SWC @ McP vs. Bethel @ Ottawa vs. Friends vs. Sterling @ Tabor McP vs. Haskell Ottawa SWC USM Sept. 4 vs. Baker vs. Panhandle State @ Southern Nazarene KCAC Composite Schedule August 28 Baker University @ Ottawa 6:00 p.m. September 4 Saint Mary @Southern Naz. 6:00 p.m. Haskell @ McPherson 7:00 p.m. Panhandle St. @ Southwestern 7:00 p.m. 11 Bethany @ Saint Mary Southwestern @ Sterling Kansas Wesleyan @ Tabor McPherson @ Friends Ottawa @ Bethel 2:30 p.m. 6:00 p.m. 7:00 p.m. 7:00 p.m. 7:00 p.m. 18 Peru State @ Sterling Saint Mary @ Kansas Wesleyan Friends @ Southwestern Ottawa @ McPherson Tabor @ Bethany Southern Nazarene @ Bethel 1:00 p.m. 6:00 p.m. 7:00 p.m. 7:00 p.m. 7:00 p.m. 7:00 p.m. 25 Bethany @ McMurray College Southwestern @ Saint Mary Sterling @ Ottawa Bethel @ Kansas Wesleyan Friends @ Tabor 1:00 p.m. 1:30 p.m. 6:00 p.m. 7:00 p.m. 7:00 p.m. October 2 McPherson @ Sterling Ottawa @ Southwestern Tabor @ Peru State College Kansas Wesleyan @ Bethany Bethel @ Friends 1:30 p.m. 1:30 p.m. 2:00 p.m. 7:00 p.m. 7:00 p.m. 30 Friends @ Saint Mary Bethany @ Sterling Tabor @ McPherson Southwestern @ Bethel Ottawa @ Kansas Wesleyan 1:30 p.m. 1:30 p.m. 1:30 p.m. 1:30 p.m. 2:00 p.m. 9 Saint Mary @ McPherson Friends @ Sterling Haskell @ Kansas Wesleyan Tabor @ Ottawa Bethany @ Bethel 1:30 p.m. 1:30 p.m. 3:00 p.m. 6:00 p.m. 7:00 p.m. 16 Bethel @ Saint Mary Kansas Wesleyan @ McPherson Peru State College @ Friends Southwestern @ Bethany Sterling @ Tabor 1:30 p.m. 1:30 p.m. 1:30 p.m. 1:30 p.m. 2:00 p.m. November 6 Sterling @ Saint Mary Kansas Wesleyan @ Friends Bethel @ McPherson Ottawa @ Bethany Southwestern @ Tabor 1:30 p.m. 1:30 p.m. 1:30 p.m. 1:30 p.m. 1:30 p.m. 23 Sterling @ Kansas Wesleyan Bethany @ Friends McPherson @ Southwestern Tabor @ Bethel Saint Mary @ Ottawa 1:30 p.m. 1:30 p.m. 1:30 p.m. 1:30 p.m. 7:00 p.m. 13 1:30 p.m. 1:30 p.m. 1:30 p.m. 1:30 p.m. 1:30 p.m. 4 Saint Mary @ Tabor Kan.

Sterling returns seven starters both on offense and on defense. The experience will help, as the Warriors face a tough stretch in late September and early October, facing the top three 2009 finishers in the KCAC in back to back weeks. Offensively, the Warriors return senior running back Rashard Colquitt. Colquitt led the Warriors in rushing yards in 2009, averaging 83.5 yards per game. In 2010, Colquitt will have the opportunity to gain large chunks of yardage on the ground behind returning senior linemen Mike Danski, Tory King, and Chandler Keenan. Even with the return of senior Keoki Burbank, the quarterback position is an area of concern for Sterling. With Matt James coming to Sterling to play wide receiver from Golden West College, the Warriors are looking to improve on a passing offense that ranked last in the KCAC in 2009. Last season, the Sterling offense became one dimensional, relying strictly on the run. In 2010, the Warriors are looking to add balance to their offensive attack. Eli Copeland and James Morley will compliment the incoming James at wide receiver. “We must get better in our passing game to have a chance. Our ability to protect our skill level and talent at receiver, and our quarterback play must all improve,” said Sterling College head coach Andy Lambert. On the defensive side of the ball, Sterling will have to adjust to the loss of linebackers Justin Hejney and Austin Kingsbury. However, the Warrior defense returns seven starters along with safeties Brock Frank and Tate Arnold from the #9 ranked scoring defense in the NAIA and the top ranked scoring defense in the KCAC. To help retool the defense, the Warriors have brought in defensive lineman Kyle Dillard from the College of the Redwoods. Dillard will help KCAC All-Conference Honorable Mention defensive lineman Mike Jones solidify the Sterling College defensive line. “Our defense gave up the fewest points in the conference last season. We must replace a safety and get very good play from our outside linebackers early to be a great defense this year,” Lambert said. The schedule is favorable for the Warriors this year with six home games and only four road games. Five of the six home games are also KCAC contests. Sterling kicks off the season at home on September 11 in a KCAC match-up against Southwestern College.

At home, the Warriors were able to protect the home field, winning three out of their four home games. The only home loss came against eventual KCAC Champion Ottawa University in a tightly contested game. On the road, the Warriors were able to win three of the six games. Out of the three losses on the road, the closest game was a 21-0 loss to McPherson College. Offensively, the Warriors struggled in 2009. The offense ranked in the bottom half of the KCAC, only scoring 20.3 points per game. The rushing game ranked second overall in the KCAC with 173.7 rushing yards per game, but passing offense ranked last in the KCAC with 118.9 passing yards per game. A poor passing game handcuffed Sterling College all year long, putting a lot of pressure on the Warrior defense to win games. The Warrior defense stepped up to the challenge in 2009 by being the top defense in the KCAC. Sterling College only allowed 17.3 points per game during the 2009 season, making up for the dismal offensive performance. Rashard Colquitt headlined the list of the Sterling College football players to receive All-KCAC Honors by being named to the All-KCAC First Team Offense as a running back. Members of the All-KCAC Second Team were Mike Danski as an offensive lineman and Austin Kingsbury as a linebacker. Warriors that received All-KCAC Honorable Mention were Ray Smith (offensive line), Drew Lott (defensive back), Justin Hejny (linebacker), Quinton Burgess (defensive line), and Mike Jones (defensive line). 12 2009 Game Reviews Sterling 23, Peru State 7 Sterling 17, Southwestern 7 September 19, 2009 Peru, Nebraska September 12, 2009 Winfield, Kansas Sterling College traveled to Peru, Nebraska to play Peru State, winning the game by a score of 23-7. The Warriors opened the season with a win in Winfield, Kansas over Southwestern College, defeating the Moundbuilders 17-7 in a closely contested game. A slow start had the Warriors down at the end of the first quarter 0-7. Sterling was able to then score 23 unanswered points during the second and third quarters, holding off Peru State for the victory. Sterling led 10-7 going into halftime with the touchdown coming from a Joey Garcia two yard run. In the second half, Clay McEachern was able to put the Warriors ahead by two scores by scoring a touchdown on a 10 yard reception. The strong running game of the Warriors was the key to the victory. Sterling was able to gain 211 yards on the ground led by Joey Garcia’s 94 yards rushing. In comparison, Peru State was only able to gain 110 yards rushing. The Sterling College defense held strong in the fourth quarter, bringing the victory home for the Warriors.

Good fortune was not in the Warriors’ deck as they traveled to McPherson to play the Bulldogs. Sterling College lost to McPherson College in a 21-0 shutout Sterling College took a 14 point lead into the fourth quarter after a strong third quarter, only to be thwarted by the strong offensive attack of Ottawa University. McPherson scored 14 points against the Warriors in the second quarter and never looked back. The passing game appeared to be the difference in the game, as Ottawa University was able to gain 356 yards in the air while Sterling could only counter with 186 yards. Clay McEachern had a strong receiving day for the Warriors, catching five passes for 88 yards. The Warriors weren’t able to get anything going offensively as they were hounded by the Bulldog defense all night. Turnovers were a problem for the Warriors, who had four. As the Warrior offense struggled, so did the defense. McPherson was able to gain 425 yards of total offense against the regularly solid Warrior defense.

Saint Mary attacked in the third quarter, cutting the lead by seven points for the fourth quarter. The Warriors survived Saint Mary’s comeback attempt by putting 13 more points on the board in the fourth quarter, sealing the victory.

SCORING BY QUARTERS Univ. of St. Mary 0 0 Sterling College 7 6 7 0 7 13 14 26 November 14, 2009 North Newton, Kansas The Warriors were disappointed in their final game of the 2009 season, traveling to North Newton to lose to Bethel College 0-30. Bethel jumped on Sterling in the first quarter, scoring 14 points and then added another 13 points in the third quarter. A fourth quarter field goal, pushed the final score to 0-30. Sterling was unable to get anything going offensively while the defense was unable to keep the Threshers out of the endzone. The running game that was the staple to the Sterling offense all season failed to show up against Bethel. Sterling was only able to gain one yard on the ground against a Bethel defense that confused the Warriors throughout the game.

The renovation was made possible from a lead gift from a former football alum as well as the Sterling School district. With a seating capacity of 3,000, Smisor is a great setting for college football and a dominate landmark on the Sterling College campus. Smisor Stadium also houses the football conference room, football locker room and Coaching Offices. With the renovation, the pitch is now a perfectly crowned natural fescue/ bluegrass blend guaranteed to add to the aesthetics of the facility. An underground sprinkler system was also recently installed. The irrigation project was made possible through lead gifts from Anna Smisor-Smith and the Sterling Rotary. A new commercial turf mower was also purchased through fundraising efforts for the new grass and sprinklers allowing McCracken Field to be maintained at a professional quality. McCRACKEN FIELD PRESS BOX The Smisor Stadium project also included a complete renovation of the press box, which more than doubled its size; there are four separate seating areas across the facility. There are two main press areas that are capable of comfortable seating ten persons each, equipped with radio hookups and wireless internet. Adjacent to each main press box are coaching boxes. These boxes allow for the seating of six coaches comfortably. Each box is equipped with temperature regulation in addition to the stunning views of one of the finest natural turf fields in the state.
