49TH ANNUAL
TIGER STADIUM
EXCELSIOR SPRINGS
SATURDAY
DECEMBER 6, 2014
There’s a difference
between watching the
NFL games aired on
television and watching two college teams
from out of state go head to head for their
last games of the season. Die-hard college
football fans and players alike understand it
– the drive, determination and the reminder
that for a lot of the seniors playing for their
respective team, they may never step foot on
the turf again.
The gridiron of Tiger Stadium at Excelsior
Springs High School invites this year’s 49th
annual Mineral Water Bowl teams to finish
out their season in what will be their final
match up of the season.
This year’s teams, the University of Sioux
Falls Cougars will face off against the University of Central Oklahoma Bronchos. USF Finished 10-1 for the season and third overall in
the NSIC, this is their first appearance at the
Mineral Water Bowl game. Also making their
first trip to Tiger Stadium for the MWB will
be the opposing talent from the University
of Central Oklahoma Bronchos who finished
their regular season play 8-3 and finished
third in the MIAA.
Although both teams are experiencing
several firsts, a first trip to Excelsior Springs, a
first playoff game in the Mineral Water Bowl
and the first opportunity to be welcomed by
the Excelsior Springs Community – the QB
Club’s Mineral Water Bowl Committee has
the art of inviting out of state guests, showering them with comfort and welcoming the
teams, players, coaches, cheerleaders and
coaching staff to Excelsior Springs down to
a science.
Since 1948 the MWB Committee has strived
to make the three-day stay in the community a comfortable one for all involved. The
details are worked on year round to be sure
both teams are taken care of down to the last
detail. A non-profit organization, the QB Club
will take their hard work and turn any profit
from the event back into the community to
help provide funding for youth sports, arts
and academic programs.
This year’s 49th annual Mineral Water Bowl
at Excelsior Springs High School Tiger Stadium is set to kickoff at noon on Saturday, Dec.
6. The MWB looks forward to meeting the
teams’ players, coaches and fans who make
this year’s event possible.

PLAYERS TO WATCH
Fans of the MWB need to keep an eye out this
year when two new teams come to play during
the 49th annual bowl game. For the MIAA the
University of Central Oklahoma Bronchos come
in with a 8-3 record and 3rd in the division. Representing the NSIC is the 10-1 Sioux Falls Cougars who are third in the division.
UCO is under the direction of head coach
Nick Bobeck in his third year at the helm of the
Bronchos. Coach Jed Stugart, in his fifth year,
leads the USF Cougars.
When comparing the two teams’ starters,
head-to-head, UCO brings freshmen quarterback Chas Stallard, who was named Freshman
of the Year in the MIAA. Stallard’s regular season campaign saw him complete 183 of 277
passes for 1,877 yards and 8 TD’s with a mere
5 interceptions while adding 662 yards and 9
TD’s rushing.
Sioux Falls’ quarterback, sophomore Luke
Papilion, earned the title of NSIC Offensive
Player of the Year after a 2014 breakout season. For the Cougars, Papilion has aided USF
offense to an average 42.7 points per game as
he accounted for 29 TD’s this season, he racked
up 481.4 yards per game completing 208 of
328 passes for 2,555 total yards.
Stallard’s target, running back Jake Gandara,
has rushed for 1,077 yards and 13 TD’s this
season on 178 carries while also catching 33
UCO
USF
passes for 226 yards.
For the Sioux Falls Cougars, second team AllNSIC running back Nephi Garcia ranks as one
of the school’s all-time running backs. Garcia
ranked fifth in the league in rushing with 100.7
yards per game, has 2,176 rushing yards in his
career and 27 TD’s.
On the defense fans can expect UCO’s lineman Kenny Allen, second team All-MIAA for
the second year in a row, to collect his fair
share of tackles. This season Allen recorded 36
tackles with only 9.5 tackles for loss. He leads
the league with 7.5 sacks in the regular season.
All-NSIC defensive back John Tidwell, the
league’s top cover corner, finished with 53
tackles, including 39 solo stops. Tidwell saw
two interceptions, fumble recovery, forced
fumble and 13 pass breakups tying him for
second in the league.
In all this year’s MWB fans at Tiger Stadium
can expect a fierce game of competition between two outstanding teams with high marks
for both offensive and defensive players. Both
teams, making their first-ever MWB appearance, are chomping at the bit to take home the
final win of the season, guaranteeing a game
for fans to remember.

THE HISTORY OF
When the first Mineral Water Bowl game was played
on Thanksgiving Day 1948, it
was presented by the Excelsior Springs Quarterback Club
to raise money to assist area
youth activities. That’s still the
reason the game is held today.
Excelsior Springs High defeated Mexico, Missouri, High
in the inaugural game then
travelled to Chattanooga
the following week to face
a junior college team in the
Orchid Bowl. Predictably the
high school Tigers couldn’t
compete with the junior college squad and predictably
too, that kind of competition
didn’t last long. In 1951, after four prep versions of the
Bowl, the State High School
Athletic Association banned
unsanctioned
post-season
high school play.
Encouraged by the success
of the high school games, the
Quarterback Club began exploring ways of resuming the
bowl. It did in the fall of 1954
when the Mineral Water Bowl
returned as a small
college game. It kicked off
a span of 22 years when the
bowl became a midwest institution that attracted great
teams and some future stars
to Excelsior Springs.
The Mineral Water Bowl
was one of only 11 in the nation sanctioned by the NCAA
in 1957, in the same company
with the Sugar, Rose, Cotton
and Orange Bowls. Each fall
in the ‘50s and ‘60s, the bowl
was home to the championship caliber teams from Michigan to Colorado to Texas and
North Dakota.
By the mid-’70s, another
era had dawned. The television
networks were airing more
and more football and it became harder to draw crowds
when the living room was such
a good ticket to the big games.
After the 1975 game the
Mineral Water Bowl was cancelled and there was little interest in its return. In 1992,
4
a reorganized Quarterback
Club received National Junior
College Athletic Association
sanctioning for the Bowl.
The first three Junior College games were decided by
only two points and the fourth
was a two point game too, until Middle Georgia scored the
winning touchdown with only
11 seconds left. In 1996, Blinn
College (led by former UCM
coach, Willie Fritz) made history by winning their unprecedented second consecutive
NJCAA championship and in
1999 Blinn won the final junior college championship
with a victory over Fort Scott.
In 2000, a new partnership
with the MIAA, the NSIC and
the NCAA began and the Division II teams played the first
overtime game in Bowl history. It took three overtimes
for Winona State to upset Missouri Western and gain the
NSIC’s first win. Augustana’s
37-16 victory over Missouri
Western snapped a 7 game
MIAA win streak.
The
Quarterback
Club proudly presents the 47h annual
Mineral Water Bowl.
We gratefully thank
the
outstanding
citizens, merchants
and sponsors whose
loyal support of area
youth
activities,
even in difficult economic times, make
this game possible.

NORTHERN SUN INTERCOLLEGIATE CONF.
From its modest origin as a six-team alliance nearly eight decades ago, the Northern
Sun Intercollegiate Conference has matured
into a 16-team union of upper Midwest colleges and universities to form arguably the
strongest affiliation in NCAA Division II.
The NSIC can trace its roots to 1932 when
six schools, including Bemidji State University, Minnesota State University, Mankato, Minnesota State University Moorhead, St. Cloud
State University, University of Minnesota Duluth and Winona State University signed on as
charter members. All remain active subscribers of the league today. Southwest Minnesota
State University was added in 1969, followed
by Northern State University in 1978, Wayne
State College (NE) in 1998, Concordia University-St. Paul and the University of Minnesota,
Crookston in 1999, the University of Mary and
Upper Iowa University in 2006, Augustana
College in 2008 and
Minot State University and the University
of Sioux Falls in 2012.
Minnesota State,
St. Cloud State and
Minnesota
Duluth
later left the league
to join the North
Central Conference
but returned to the
NSIC in 2008. University of Minnesota,
Morris and Michigan
Tech University were
once part of the NSIC
family as well.
In 1992 the NSIC became a true athletic
showcase for both men and women with the
merger of the traditional Northern Intercollegiate Conference (NIC) and the Northern Sun
Conference (NSC), the home of women’s athletics since 1979.
Before NSIC affiliates became certified for
championship competition in the National
Collegiate Athletic Association in 1995, its
member institutions filled prominent roles
in the National Association of Intercollegiate
Athletics (NAIA). NIC and NSC clubs annually dispatched qualified student-athletes to
national tournaments and captured several
NAIA teams and individual championships.

MID-AMERICA INTERCOLLEGIATE ATHLETICS ASSOC.
The Mid-America
Intercollegiate
Athletics Association, a
14-member conference
(beginning in 2012-13) of NCAA
Division II institutions in Missouri,
Kansas, Oklahoma, and Nebraska, was
first organized in 1912 as the Missouri
Intercollegiate Athletic Association.
The conference was first organized
in 1912 with 14 member institutions.
Of those original members, the University of Central Missouri, Truman
State University, and Northwest Missouri State University still remain a
part of the MIAA. Over the past 100
years, the MIAA has gained the reputation of being one of the top NCAA
Division II conferences in the nation.

UNIVERSITY OF SIOUX
FALLS, SOUTH DAKOTA
Dr. Mark Benedetto,
President
University of Sioux Falls
(1997-present)
Dr. Mark Benedetto is the University of Sioux Falls’ longestserving President, having started
his tenure in June 1997 at the
age of 41, making him the institution’s youngest leader and one
of the nation’s youngest college
presidents ever. A lifelong learner,
Dr. Benedetto has four degrees in
higher education and is a licensed,
ordained Baptist minister. Before
USF, he served in various roles at
six universities in Ohio, Texas, New
Mexico and California.
Student enrollment has more
than doubled during Dr. Benedetto’s tenure. This includes an
impressive stretch from 19972008 when USF experienced
eight consecutive years of record
enrollment. In 2008, USF’s total
enrollment of 1,674 was the largest enrollment in the history of
the institution. Full-time faculty
kept pace with the enrollment increase, and the number of professors doubled during this time.
Dr. Benedetto and his wife, Gail,
have been married 37 years. They
have two adult children, Amy and
Mark Jr., and five grandchildren.
At the University of
Sioux Falls, students
earn more than a degree. They gain an
experience that transforms their lives. While
they list the Christian
community, dynamic
professors and premier
career opportunities as
top benefits, it’s who they
become that alumni value
most.
Founded in 1883, the
University of Sioux Falls is
a Christian, liberal arts university affiliated with the
American Baptist Churches,
U.S.A. USF is inclusive of all
denominations with dozens
represented on campus. Our
mission is to foster academic
excellence and the development of mature Christian
persons for service to God
and humankind in the world.
Our motto is Culture for Service. We strive to nurture our
students’ relationships with
God and to build their characters. We offer more than
80 undergraduate programs
and the following graduate
and adult-learning programs
that are offered on campus
or online: Accelerated Nursing, Degree Completion Program, Education Specialist,
Master of Business Administration, Master of Education
and RN-to-BSN.
Our intentional learning
environment, led by a faculty dedicated to developing
“the whole person” and to
integrating faith into the curriculum, provides students
with opportunities to learn
both inside and outside
of the classroom. Through
transformative courses and
offerings like our Honors Program, interim-service trips,
study-abroad semesters and
Undergraduate
Research
Conference, our students
discover their career calling. That’s why 97 percent of
10
our graduates find satisfying
employment in their fields of
interest within six months of
graduation.
Because we are located in
the top-ranked city of Sioux
Falls, South Dakota, our students enjoy the amenities
of a big city with the atmosphere of a friendly and safe
Midwest town. Sioux Falls is
consistently recognized nationally in such publications
as Forbes, Wall Street Review
and POLICOM for maintaining one of the healthiest environments in the nation in
which to live, work and raise
a family. Sioux Falls is also advantageous when students
look to gain experiential
learning experiences through
part-time employment, job
shadows, internships and volunteer opportunities.
Yet some students do not
leave campus often. This is
because USF offers more
than 100 clubs, organizations and activities to join.
Campus growth has been
paramount since 1997 when
President Mark Benedetto,
the University’s longestserving president, assumed
office. With the addition of
new programs, the increase
in enrollment and the expansion of USF’s physical footprint, including the addition
of USF’s South Campus, approximately 100 acres that
is home to the USF Sports
Complex, more than $50
million has been invested in
new and renovated facilities.
It’s the people, though,
who remain the cornerstone
of the University. The individuals who fill our residence
halls, classrooms and offices
support a distinct kind of
unity that makes our community unique. That’s why
we proclaim to students that
the University of Sioux Falls
is a place…Where You Become, Who You Become.
Jed Stugart
University of Sioux Falls Heach Coach (2010-present)
John Tidwell
on a punt
return
Jed Stugart is in his fifth season as
head football coach for the University of Sioux Falls. Stugart, who was
introduced as USF’s 20th head coach
on February 20, 2010, has led the
Cougars to a 10-1 record in 2014 with
a team ranked #16 (as high as #10) in
the AFCA Poll.
A Greeley, Colo., native with Midwest ties, Stugart has maintained the
pride and tradition of USF football
while steering the Cougars through
the challenging transition from NAIA
to NCAA Division II athletics. During
his tenure, USF is in its fifth straight
winning season. USF’s run of consecutive winning seasons is 21 straight,
Stugart owns a 43-13 record (.768)
at USF and a career mark of 69-20
(.775). The #10 ranking is the best by
USF in its DII era (since 2011). In DII,
the Cougars are 29-12.
The Cougars continued their winning ways in 2013, posting an overall
mark of 6-5 and notching their second-straight win over its city rival Augustana College. USF was rewarded
for another successful campaign, as
two Cougars were named to the AllNSIC South First Team and a total of
nine players received all-conference
recognition. One Cougar took home
an individual award, as junior John
Batinich was named the NSIC Defensive Newcomer of the Year, while
senior Carrington Hanna became the
first player in the history of the NSIC
(records dating to 1973) to be selected as both an all-conference wide
receiver and all-conference quarterback in the same year. In addition,
John Tidwell was named to the 2013
Don Hansen Football Committee AllSuper Region 3 Team. A total of 13
Cougars received All-NSIC recognition and the 2012 USF football team
received a total of 25 postseason
honors from a variety of collegiate
and media outlets. The national recognition wasn’t limited to the players, as Stugart was one of five D-II
finalists for the 2012 Liberty Mutual
Coach of the Year Award.
Stugart and his wife, Angie, have
one son, Gunner, and one daughter,
Gracie.

PLAYERS TO WATCH
Sophomore quarterback Luke
Papilion of #16 Sioux Falls has been
named the NSIC Offensive Player of
the Year. One of the league’s most
dangerous dual threats, Papilion
had a breakout season in 2014
as he accounted for 29 TDs and
directed a USF offense that averaged 42.7 points per game (3rd
in the NSIC; 10th, DII) and racked
up 481.4 yards per game (21st in
DII), twice going over 600 yards in
total offense. Papilion completed
208-of-328 passes for 2,555 yards
and 23 TDs with 10 interceptions.
He completed 63.4 percent of
his passes while also rushing 143
times for 719 yards and six TDs.
In addition, the sophomore quarterback ranked fifth in the league
and 31st nationally in total offense
(297.6 yards per game) and sixth
in passing (232.3 yards per game).
Papilion has a run of eight straight
games of 200 yards passing or
more and also rushed for over 100
yards three times. He is the only QB
in the league with 300 yards passing and 100 yards rushing in the
same game (Moorhead).
Second team All-NSIC running
back Nephi Garcia ranks as one of
the school’s all-time great running
backs. He is one of four players in
school history with back-to-back
1,000 yard rushing campaigns. Garcia, who ranked fifth in the league
in rushing with 100.7 yards per
game (209-1,108 yards, 17 TDs) has
2,176 rushing yards in his career
and 27 TDs. The senior running
back, who had five 100-yard games
this season and 12 so far in his career, also ranked fourth in the NSIC
in all-purpose yards with 1,402
yards while sitting third in scoring
with 114 points. Garcia capped his
career as a Cougar with a careerbest 225 yards and three TDs.
Second team All-NSIC wide receiver Josh Angulo had 54 catches
for 749 yards and a team-high nine
TDs, and was a dangerous weapon
all season for the Cougars. Angulo
averaged 13.9 yards per catch and
68.1 yards per game. He had six
games with five catches or more
and recorded a season best nine
receptions for 120 yards in a win
over Moorhead.
H-back Brady Rose led the team
in receptions with 58 for 707 yards
and six TDs. He averaged 64.3 yards
per game. Operating out of the Hback spot, Rose was a tough cover
for most defenses.
DEFENSE
First-team all-NSIC cornerback
Solomon St. Pierre had a remarkable season at cornerback, accumulating an NSIC and nation-best
10 interceptions for 214 return
yards and two defensive TDs. Plus
the Wagner, S.D., native had 23
passes defended, which was also
the best in the NSIC and ranked
second in the nation. St. Pierre,
who had 54 tackles, is tied for 10th
on USF’s career interception chart
with 13. Going back to his high
school days, he has 35 total interceptions (set a SD HS mark with
22).
Two-time NSIC defensive back
John Tidwell is arguably the
league’s top cover corner. Plus,
the Aurora, Colo., native can return both punts and kicks. In 2014,
Tidwell finished with 53 tackles, including 39 solo stops. He had two
interceptions, fumble recovery,
forced fumble and 13 pass breakups, which tied Tidwell for second
in the league.

Bobeck is in his third year at the helm
and has led the Bronchos to an 8-3 record this season with a third-place finish in the rugged Mid-America Intercollegiate Athletics Association after the
team was predicted to come in 10th
in the 12-team league by conference
coaches.
Bobeck, who became UCO’s 13th
head coach on Jan. 4, 2012 following
a sparkling four-year head coaching
stint at junior college powerhouse Navarro (Texas) College, has a 12-19 record with the Bronchos.
Nick, who played at UCO and then
was a graduate assistant coach for the
Bronchos, compiled a sensational 42-5
record at Navarro. The Bulldogs won
the 2010 national championship along
with three regular season Southwest
Junior College Football Conference
(SWJCFC) titles during his tenure there.
Bobeck was a four-year letterman
and two-year starter at fullback for
UCO from 1999-02, earning first-team
All-Lone Star Conference North Division honors as a senior.
He stayed on with the Bronchos as
a graduate assistant coach the next
three seasons, helping UCO go 20-12
during that stint while making the
NCAA Division II playoffs in 2003.
Bobeck went to Texas A&M as an offensive line coach in 2006 when the Aggies finished 9-4 and earned a berth in
the Holiday Bowl. He moved on to Navarro the following season and served
as offensive coordinator in 2007 when
the Bulldogs went 9-3 and won the
conference crown.
Nick took over as head coach the
next year, with his first squad finishing
10-1 and ranked fourth in the final poll.
An 11-1 campaign and No. 3 ranking
followed in 2009.
Bobeck and the Bulldogs put it all
together in 2010, following a seasonopening loss with 11 consecutive wins
to finish 11-1 and capture the NJCAA
national championship. Navarro was
10-2 this past season, finishing fifth in
the final ranking.
Nick’s wife, Keely, is an assistant
coach for the UCO softball team and
helped the Bronchos go 41-17 in earning a Division II national tournament
berth in 2014. They have two children
-- a son (Tucker, born in April 2012) and
a daughter (Miller, born in June 2014).

Traditions run deep when referring to the
49th annual Mineral Water Bowl. Since its inception in 1948, the majority of games were
played at Roosevelt Field, which was dedicated
in 1936 and was home to the Excelsior Springs
High School Tiger athletes until 2003.
In 2004 the new Tiger Stadium was completed on the campus of Excelsior Springs High
School, and hosted its first ever Mineral Water
Bowl game.
The stadium features seating purchased
from the Truman Sports Complex, home of the
Chiefs NFL team and the Royals MLB team, as
well as a Sprint Turf field, modern press box,
scoreboard and several other amenities. Since
the completion of Tiger Stadium, the MWB has
hosted teams on the Astroturf field for 11 years.

BEHIND THE SCENES
excelsior springs
quarterback club
Since 1948 the Quarterback Club of Excelsior
Springs, a non-profit organization, has shared its generosity after hosting several events throughout the
year, most notably the Mineral Water Bowl. This year
marks the 49th annual MWB and due to year round
diligence from club members, is expected to be the
best bowl game ever.
The Quarterback Club, on the surface, would lead
one to believe that their organization is focused solely
on giving back to sports programs, but the truth of the
matter is that the Quarterback Club gives back a good
portion of money raised to academic and arts programs within the community and surrounding areas.
Quarterback Club MWB Executive Director Roger
Siegel said the most important role played by the QB
Club is “giving back to area youth.”
Since the MWB inception in 1949 the committee
members from QB Club have met twice a month, every year. Siegel added that the group also meets no
less than once a week during bowl season to map
out all of the necessary details to welcome two out of
town football teams to Excelsior Springs.
The QB Committee has no less than 10 leaders who
contribute to their board, the president currently being Patty Kistner. “We work year round to host the
Mineral Water Bowl,” Siegel explained. “It takes count-
less hours to put the event together all so that we can
make the football players and their staff and friends
feel at home in Excelsior Springs for three days. It’s also
an important day to bring together our community for
what is surely one of the best days of football for fans
in and around town.”
For nearly 50 years the QB Club has brought in visitors during Mineral Water Bowl week from surrounding cities and states, introducing newcomers to the
many amenities offered in Excelsior Springs. But, Siegel said the MWB isn’t the only event the committee
organizes throughout the year.
“The Quarterback Club doesn’t just focus on the
Mineral Water Bowl,” he said. “We also host a yearly
golf tournament, host the concession stands during
youth wrestling tournaments, adopt families at Christmas time and a lot more.”
Although the MWB is the group’s largest fundraiser
of the year, the committee does reach out through
other various events to raise even more money for
youngsters in Excelsior Springs.
T
he City of Excelsior Springs would like to extend the
warmest welcome to the visitors, families and guests of the
49th Annual Mineral Water Bowl.
We hope you enjoy your visit to our community and find the
experience both entertaining and relaxing.
Please take time to explore all the benefits our small town has
to offer: historic landmarks, fine dining and shopping, an 18hole golf course, plus more than 90 acres of parkland, walking
trails, and lakes for families and their active lifestyles. Excelsior
Springs is a great place to live. Please enjoy your stay!
