Blinn College on the Hunt for Third NJCAA Football Title in Five Years

Bucs Enter 2010 Season with No. 1 Ranking

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. – Blinn College (Texas) begins the 2010 NJCAA Football season at No. 1 in the NJCAA Preseason Top 25, released on July 28, 2010. The defending national champions will face a very difficult schedule this season. However, a talented roster and a veteran coach gives Blinn a legitimate chance to claim the program’s third national championship in five years (2006, 2009).

Blinn is followed in the preseason rankings by Arizona Western College, Fort Scott Community College (Kan.), who Blinn defeated last season in the NJCAA title game, Navarro College (Texas) and Mississippi Gulf Coast Community College.

The Buccaneers return eight starters (3 offense / 5 defense) from last season’s championship team and they also welcome a NCAA Division I transfer at the quarterback position in Justin Tuggle (Boston College). Tuggle started three games for the Eagles in 2009. Top returners for Blinn include Honorable Mention All-American and First-Team All-Southwest JC Football Conference linebacker DextrellSimmons and offensive lineman Sean Robertson who started 10 games in 2009 for the Bucs.

Brad Franchione is back for his sixth season at Blinn. The son of former Alabama, Texas Christian, Texas A&M, and New Mexico headcoach Dennis Franchione, Brad has led the Buccaneer program to a 46-10 record, including two NJCAA Football Championships and three SWJCFC titles. He has also twice been named the NJCAA Football Coach of the Year and last season was the American Community College Football Coaches Association Coach of the Year.

Blinn opens the season on Saturday, August 28th against No. 3 Fort Scott (Kan.) in Brenham, Texas, in a rematch of the 2009 NJCAA Football Championship Game at the Citizen’s Bank Bowl. The Bucs won the title on a last second punt-return for a touchdown by Chad Froechnicht to give Blinn a 31-26 victory.

Butler Community College (Kan.), East Mississippi Community College, Snow College (Utah), Ellsworth Community College (Iowa) and Grand Rapids Community College (Mich.) round out the preseason Top 10.

2010 NJCAA Football Season Begins Aug. 26-28The 2010 season kicks off August 26th-28th with several important games slated for play. Action begins Thursday, August 26th, with the annual challenge series between the Kansas Jayahawk Community College Conference and the Southwest JC Football Conference. In the first game of the series, No. 4 Navarro (Texas) will travel north to face No. 6 Butler (Kan.) in Wichita, Kan. Also on the 26th the Minnesota College Athletic Conference begins play with their Kickoff Classic on the campus of St. Cloud State University. No. 20 Rochester (Minn.) opens the event against Northland (Minn.).

All eyes will be on Brenham, Texas on August 28th when No. 1 Blinn and No. 3 Fort Scott take the field in a rematch of last year’s title game. Other intriguing matchups on the first Saturday of the season include No. 14 Tyler (Texas) at No. 18 Coffeyville(Kan.). The MCAC Kickoff Classic gets into full swing with four games on Saturday all at Husky Stadium in St. Cloud, Minn.

Nine All-Americans from 2009 Slated to Return to NJCAA Gridiron in 2010 The 2010 NJCAA football season will be an exciting one as several 2009 All-Americans are set to return to their teams for 2010. On the offensive side of the ball, Grand Rapids (Mich.) returns two All-Americans in First-Team offensive lineman Dion Howze and Honorable Mention return specialist Juwan Hemphill. A lot of attention will be given to Arizona Western running back Reggie Bullock who earned 2nd Team All-American honors last season. Bullock ranked second in the NJCAA last year with 1,417 rushing yards and 20 TDs. Lastly, Rochester (Minn.) wide receiver Chris Hicks returns to the Yellow Jackets after earning Honorable Mention All-American honors with 38 receptions, 797 yards and 10 TDs.

First-Team All-American defensive back J.D. Ratliff of Southwest Mississippi returns after leading the nation with 10 interceptions last season. Other defense All-Americans returning this season include Blinn linebacker Dextrell Simmons, Louisburg (N.C.) defensive back Jamel Coles, Georgia Military linebacker Antonio Mitchum and Scottsdale (Ariz.) punter Josh Hubner.

One Lost, One Gained — 69 NJCAA Football Teams Will Take the Field in 2010The 2010 NJCAA Football season will see the departure of Rock Valley College (Ill.) and the addition of Lon Morris College (Texas). Rock Valley ended its football program due to budget issues. RVC had fielded a football team for over 40 years.

As one long standing program ended its football program, another NJCAA college decided to reinstate football. Lon Morris College in Jacksonville, Texas will resurrect its football program this year after being absent for over 60 years. Lon Morris is one of seven new football programs set to begin in 2010 across the entire college football landscape (NCAA DI, DII, DIII, NAIA, NJCAA). The LMC Bearcats will compete as an Independent this season and will operate as a ‘club’ team.

Eight Teams Enter 2010 with New Head Coaches Several NJCAA Football programs are under new leadership this season. A total of eight NJCAA football programs will be directed by new head coaches.

- Chris Bocage - Hudson Valley Community College (N.Y.) - Steve Carson - Independence Community College (Kan.) - Denver Latimore - Mesa Community College (Ariz.) - Jermaine Miles - Nassau Community College (N.Y.) - Tim Pfiefer - Dakota College - Bottineau (N.D.) - Johnnie Richey - Lone Morris College (Texas) - Keith Turner - Fond du Lac Tribal & Community College (Minn.) - Jon Williams - Itawamba Community College (Miss.)

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. – From time to time a football season is defined by just one play, a heroic effort that saves a team from elimination and vaults them to the pinnacle of success. Such a play took place at the 2009 NJCAA Football Championship Game in the inaugural Citizen’s Bank Bowl in Pittsburg, Kan., on Dec. 6th that will forever define the 2009 National Championship season for Blinn College (Texas).

Down 26-24 to No. 1 ranked Fort Scott (Kan.) with just under 30 seconds remaining in the game, Blinn’s Chad Froechtenicht fielded a Fort Scott punt on his own 16 yard line, avoided the first wave of Greyhound tacklers and sprinted 84 yards for the national title clinching touchdown.

The 31-26 win over Fort Scott gave Blinn its fourth NJCAA Football Championship in program history (1995, 1996, 2006, 2009) and second in four years under head coach Brad Franchione. The win was extra special for Franchione as he is a native of Pittsburg, Kan., and was able to win the big game in front of many local supporters.

"For me to have the opportunity to come to the Citizens Bank Bowl in Pittsburg, Kansas, in front of my hometown crowd, it will forever be a special moment in my life," Franchione said.

The dramatic finish in the national title game ends another great year of NJCAA football. Blinn’s victory over Fort Scott puts the Bucs in the No. 1 slot of the final NJCAA Football rankings of the year with an 11-1 record.

The Greyhounds of Fort Scott, also 11-1, cap off a brilliant year with a No. 2 ranking. The 2009 season for Fort Scott included its first conference title in over 30 years and first-ever Region 6 Playoff Championship.

Navarro (Texas), East Mississippi, Arizona Western, Snow (Utah), GrandRapids (Mich.), Mississippi Gulf Coast, Ellsworth (Iowa) and Butler (Kan.) rounded out the top 10 of the final poll.

NOTE: As the highest ranking non-scholarship team in the final rankings, Grand Rapids (Mich.) is declared the 2009 NJCAA Football Non-Scholarship Champion by the NJCAA Football Coaches Association.

DECEMBER 6, 2009; CARNIE SMITH STADIUM; PITTSBURG, KAN.

BLINN WINS NATIONAL TITLE VIA LAST SECOND PUNTRETURN FOR TOUCHDOWNFrom Blinn College Media Relations

PITTSBURG, Kan. - An 84-yard punt return for a touchdown by Chad Froechnicht with 15seconds remaining in the fourth quarter gave Blinn College (Texas) a 31-26 victory over FortScott Community College (Kan.) in the 2009 NJCAA Football Championship Game at the first-ever Citizen’s Bank Bowl Dec. 6 at Carnie Smith Stadium in Pittsburg, Kan.

"The first two punt returns, I ran to the right,” said Froechnicht. “So I thought they were going toover pursue. I hugged the ball, ran to the right a little and saw them all pursuing so I cut back. I think I got one or two blocks and I told myself ‘you're not stopping until you get in the end zone.”

The football national championship is Blinn’s fourth overall (1995, 96, 06, 09) and second underhead coach Brad Franchione who is a native of Pittsburg, Kan.

"For me to have the opportunity to come to the Citizens Bank Bowl in Pittsburg, Kansas, in frontof my hometown crowd, it will forever be a special moment in my life," Franchione said.

Blinn got on the scoreboard first when quarterback Cam Newton rushed for a 19-yard score.The Blinn defense then came up with a turnover and Billy Greer tacked on a 32-yard field goalto put Blinn up 10-0 early.

The Fort Scott Greyhounds then scored 26 unanswered points as quarterback Dominique Davisscored two touchdowns on one-yard quarterback keepers in the first half while Blinn gave up 85yards on nine penalties. As the rain started to fall, another Buccaneer mishap — a high snap ona punt — added a safety to the Fort Scott total. Kyle Ericson hit a 35-yard field goal and the

Greyhounds posted a 19-10 lead at halftime.

Fort Scott opened the scoring in the second half after a Blinn fumble as Davis scored his thirdtouchdown of the game on a 12-yard run.

Blinn’s defense then responded as Gadrian Muse intercepted a Davis pass on Blinn’s two- yard-line, which then led to a seven-play, 74-yard scoring drive capped by a 14-yard TD run by MikeHayes followed by a two-point conversion to cut the Greyhound lead to 26-18.

Hayes then scored in the fourth quarter from the nine-yard line and after a failed two-pointconversion the Bucs trailed 26-24 with just over five minutes left in the contest.

It looked as though the Greyhounds had secured the win when Fort Scott stopped Newton andthe Bucs on a fourth and five with 2:06 remaining. However, the Buccaneer defense forced onefinal punt, which proved to be the biggest play of the game.

Blinn, who entered the game ranked second in the final NJCAA Football Poll of the regularseason, ends the season 11-1. Fort Scott, ranked No. 1 entering the title game, also ends 2009at 11-1.

Both defenses dominated the game as both teams punted eight times. Glendale did have trouble keeping Dean quarterback Antony Baskersville in check as he nearly won the game for the Bulldogs in the final frame. He completed a 17-yard pass to William Brown but Brown was pushed out of the back of the endzone by Glendale defenders and was unable to get a foot down for the go-ahead touchdown.

Had Brown been able to score it would have given Dean a 13-10 lead. As a result, Dean settled forits third field goal from Long Ding (35, 35 and 29 yards) and Glendale held on for a 10-9 win.

The win was Glendale’s 11th in the history of the Valley of the Sun Bowl and moved their final record for 2009 to 7-5. The loss ended Dean’s season with a 9-2 overall record.

BILOXI, Miss. - The Lions of East Mississippi Community College capped its most successful football season in school history by defeating Arizona Western College 27-24 Dec. 6 in the 2009 Mississippi Bowl played at Indian Stadium in Biloxi, Miss.

With the victory in the second annual bowl event, head coach Buddy Stephens’ 11-1 Lions established a new all-time school standard for most wins in a season.

East Mississippi’s first bowl appearance in 46 years began in spectacular fashion, as sophomore wide receiver Derrick Steele returned the opening kickoff 90 yards for a touchdown. Steele helped put the Lions on top 13-0 later in the period by taking a Randall Mackey screen pass 56 yards to the end zone with 5:41 remaining in the opening quarter.

Arizona Western got their first points from freshman Reggie Bullock on a 1-yard TD run. Mackey then threw for his second touchdown of the first quarter by connecting with sophomore Cedrick Blanks on a 27-yard pass and a 20-7 lead.

Arizona Western scored twice in the second quarter to cut EMCC’s lead to 20-17 heading into halftime.

AWC’s Reggie Bullock ran for a 36-yard score to start the third quarter to give the Matadors a 24-20 lead. Entering the contest as the NJCAA leader in rushing yards per game (162.1 yds/gm), Bullock finished with 116 yards on 29 carriers, and scored his 20th rushing touchdown.

After a missed Mattador field goal, the Lions went on a 15-play, 80-yard scoring drive that culminated with Mackey finding Lance Lewis on a 5-yard TD pass. The eventual game-winning play resulted in Lewis’ 16th scoring grab of the season and Mackey’s 32nd touchdown toss of 2009.

The EMCC defense stepped up in the fourth quarter and secured the school’s first-ever 11-win season with a pair of pass interceptions over the final four minutes of the contest.

With three receptions for 68 yards on the day, including the 56-yard scoring grab following his game-opening 90-yard kickoff return, Steele was named EMCC’s Offensive MVP for the game. Sophomore defensive end Claude Davis was chosen the Lions’ Defensive MVP.

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. -– The NJCAA football rushing leader and a top tackler in 2009 were selected as the NJCAA Offensive and Defensive Players of the Year. Fort Scott Community College (Kan.) sophomore running back Jasmin Hopkins was awarded the offensive honors, while Navarro College (Texas) linebacker Brad Graham received the defensive award.

The 2009 season marks the 20th consecutive year that the NJCAA Football Coaches Association has selected a player of the year. Since 2000, an award has been given to both an offensive and defensive player.

Jasmin HopkinsRunning Back (5-9, 185 lbs.) Fort Scott Community College (Kan.)

A native of Stanley, N.C., Hopkins posted the second-most rushing yards by an NJCAA running back in 10 years while helping guide the Fort Scott Greyhounds to their first Kansas Jayhawk Community College Conference title in 35 years and their first Region 6 title ever. The Greyhounds played in the NJCAA Football Championship Game season for the first time in over 35 years where they fell in final seconds 31-26 to Blinn College (Texas).

Hopkins led the NJCAA in rushing yards with 1,931, which is the second-best mark by a player since Lackawanna College (Pa.) running back Alan Jones rushed for 2,069 yards in 2000. Jocques Crawford of Cisco College (Texas) rushed for 1,935 yards in

2007 and won that season’s Offensive Player of the Year honor.

Hopkins also led in the nation in rushing yards per game with 160.9 and his 16 rushing touchdowns tied for fifth. His 102 points from 17 total touchdowns ranked eighth in the NJCAA in scoring while his 1,931 rushing yards ranked 15th in total offense.

Hopkins is currently continuing his education and football career at Northern Illinois University.

Brad GrahamLinebacker (6-3, 230 lbs.) Navarro College (Texas)

Graham, a native of Austin, Texas, was the Defensive Player of the Year in the Southwest JC Football Conference while leading Navarro College (Texas) to its second consecutive regular season league title. The Bulldogs also spent two weeks at the No. 1 post in the NJCAA / JC Football.com Poll. Navarro advanced to the C.H.A.M.P.S. Heart of Texas Bowl where the defeated Mississippi Gulf

Coast Community College 37-26.

For the season, Graham tallied 96 tackles (62 solo, 34 assisted), 13 tackles for loss, one sack and three forced fumbles. He also had four interceptions, including one returned for a touchdown.

Graham is the third consecutive player from the SWJCFC to take home Player of the Year honors. Last year, Blinn’s Terrance Cain won the offensive award – as did Cisco’s Jocques Crawford in 2007. He is the first Navarro player to ever receive the award.

Graham has successfully transferred to the University of North Texas where is will suit up for the Mean Green football program.

The awards were presented to Franchione at the American Football Coaches Association Coach of the Year Dinner in January at the 2010 AFCA Convention in Orlando, Fla.

"To win a national championship and have my fellow coaches honor me as Coach of the Year is a supreme honor," Franchione said. "The award has my name on it, but it is really a testament to all the great people in our program: our student-athletes, our coaches, our college administration, faculty and staff. That is what makes it truly a team effort."

The 2009 season was Franchione’s fifth year at the helm of Buccaneer program, and his 15th in college football. He guided Blinn to an 11-1 overall record, the Southwest Junior College Football Conference (SWJCFC) title and the National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA) national title in 2009. In addition his 2009 team was named the Junior College Team of the Year by FieldTurf®.

In his five years (2005-2009) at Blinn, Franchione has amassed a 46-10 record highlighted by two NJCAA National Championships (2006, 2009). In his second season as head coach, Franchione was named the NJCAA Football Coaches Association Coach of the Year, SWJCFC Coach of the Year, the American Football Monthly Schutt Sports Coach of the Year and the inaugural Sportexe® Football Coach of the Year after leading Blinn to a 12-0 mark, the SWJCFC title and the 2006 NJCAA National Championship.

In 2008, Blinn finished the season with a 9-3 record, with an appearance in the Heart of Texas Bowl. Franchione has coached 16 All-Americans during his tenure at Blinn, including four on this year's list and the 2008 NJCAA Offensive Player of the Year, quarterback Terrance Cain, who now plays for the University of Utah.

Franchione came to Blinn in 2005 from Texas A&M University-Commerce where he was the defensive line coach. He was also an assistant coach at Bacone College (2003-2004), the University of Tennessee-Martin (2002), the University of West Alabama (2001-2002), East Central University (1999-2001), and Fort Scott Community College (1998). He was a graduate assistant at Arkansas State University (1996-1998), and a student assistant coach at the University of New Mexico (1992-1996) where his father Dennis Franchione was the head coach.

About the ACCFCA: Community college football coaches are among the very best in the profession. In recent years, there have been two organizations, the California Community College Football Coaches Association and the National Junior College Football CoachesAssociation. Each organization had its own coach of the year. In 2000, the AFCA invited the organizations to meet at the AFCA Convention. Three national goals were set: to form a national community college football coaches' association, to study the possibility of a national championship game between the two organizations and to elect, yearly, a national coach of the year and to have that coachrecognized by the AFCA. Their initial goal, to create an umbrella coaches association, has been accomplished. In 2002, the American Community College Football Coaches Association selected its first national coach of the year, Michael White of Reedley College. Past winners of the ACCFCA Coach of the Year are: Troy Morrell, Butler Community College, 2003; Tim Hatten, Pearl River Community College, 2004; Don Dillon, American River College, 2005; John Featherstone, El Camino College, 2006; Jeff Chudy, Bakersfield College,2007; and Jeff Jordan, Butte College, 2008.
