PRESS & DAKOTAN SPRING SPORTS 2012 PAGE 14 LA Koch s Hard Work Takes Him From Walk-On To Scholarship Player NC ER BY JEREMY HOECK jeremy.hoeck@yankton.net YO TE S VERMILLION Not promised anything out of high school, Austin Koch worked and clawed himself into a legitimate Division I football player. And for those efforts, the sophomore wide receiver from Tyndall was rewarded with a scholarship at the University of South Dakota despite never having caught a pass for the Coyotes. That s where Koch s odyssey differs from others. He switched positions and still impressed his coaches to the point where they put him on scholarship. It s been a journey, Koch said, prior to Monday afternoon s practice in Vermillion. The former Bon Homme 3sport standout came to USD as a walk-on at defensive back in 2009 under former coach Ed Meierkort. After redshirting one season, Koch played on special teams last fall, making 13 total tackles in nine games. Despite putting in the necessary time, nothing was really promised to him beyond that, Koch freely admits.

EMILY GIRARD SR INFIELDER Mount Marty Softball Program Sports Experience, Motivation BY CODY BALL sports@yankton.net This article originally appeared in the March 2 edition of the Press & Dakotan. It has been updated to reflect the ongoing season. The Mount Marty College softball team will take to the field with plenty of experience this season, and even more motivation. Last season the Mount Marty Lancers ended one spot out of the Great Plains Athletic Conference (GPAC) tournament, as they finished ninth place, with only the top eight going to the tournament. But it wasn't a late season meltdown that put the Lancers just out of the tournament, actually it was the opposite. Mount Marty swept their opponent in the final weekend of the regular season, but needed some help from some other teams to clinch a spot in the tournament. The help was not offered and the Lancers found themselves outside of the GPAC tournament. The team that clinched the eighth spot, Midland University, went on to earn a national tournament berth. We got a taste of what it takes, and that will help us this spring to get into the post-season, head coach Albert Fernandez said. I am very positive with our chances this spring. This team knows how close we were last year and they have been using that as motivation to work hard since day one in the fall. The team will also benefit from their experienced roster, which features six seniors. Those seniors are Emily Girard, Jessica Polk, Andrea Hansen, Paige Rechtenbaugh, Amanda Volgarino, and Brittany Bruns. Spring FB Calendar From Page 13 From Page 13 Beschorner, Noah Shepard and Dante Warren before him, Vander Maten gives the Coyotes a dual threat with his arm and his feet. In college football, running quarterbacks can be really successful, which is why you see so many of them, Glenn said. You just teach them to get down. You can definitely expect us to throw some more option out there. On the defensive side, Wakes and fellow transfer d-back Devin Taverna are seeing plenty of action and figure to be key components in the secondary. We ll get better just by competing, Wakes said. Spring ball is good for that, just getting all the guys on the same page. With only a handful of practices remaining before the April 21 spring game, the Coyotes aren t exactly preparing for Wisconsin. Though by the time the team returns in the fall, things should be clicking, Powell said. We have a lot of inexperience, but that s what spring ball is for, he said. It looks sloppy now, but we ll get there. By the time the season starts, we ll look like a different team. Verdigre Inv.

We can say, looking at things now, he ll be on the field when it means something. Even when it comes to his head coach, Koch was thrown another obstacle. Right away, I thought, Uh oh, now I have to go out and make a name for myself all over again, Koch said. Thankfully, coach Glenn said he liked what he saw on film. The good news for Koch, and the other offensive players for the Coyotes, the bulk of the position changes came on the defensive side. Sure, there s a new offensive line coach, but the coordinator (Wes Beschorner) stayed the same, as did the receivers coach. With the transition to wide receiver, naturally there are other challenges, particularly when it comes to working with a new group. It makes me want to work harder; to be a leader out there, Koch said. Right away, I started watching what Will (Powell) does. He s the guy everyone looks to as a receiver. Helping Koch s transition is the quarterback who will be throwing passes his way. Likely starter Josh Vander Maten spent the bulk of the 2011 season on the scout team with Koch. That helps our chemistry, Koch said. He knows where I ll be, and I know his style; how he handles himself. Even though he wasn t a big part of the offense in last Saturday s first scrimmage, Koch will be a key cog once the 2012 season opens in September, Glenn said. He s shown well so far, no question, Glenn said. He s got that toughness, that hustle you look for in a receiver. He s a cowboy; one of those tough guys.
