BLUE DRAGON HEAD COACH RION RHOADES<br />
As a Blue Dragon player in the mid-1990s, Rion Rhoades was a<br />
tough, aggressive, intense linebacker. He brings those same qualities<br />
as the fourth-year head coach of the <strong>Hutchinson</strong> <strong>Community</strong><br />
<strong>College</strong> football team.<br />
Named the program’s 17th head coach on December 12, 2006,<br />
Rhoades was a part of HCC’s 1993 and 1994 teams under coaches<br />
Sam Pittman and Andy Hill. Those teams put down the foundation<br />
for the 1995 Blue Dragons that won the team’s last Jayhawk<br />
Conference championship.<br />
Now 13 years into his coaching career, Rhoades is working on<br />
rebuilding the Blue Dragons back to that level. Rhoades is 25-16 at <strong>Hutchinson</strong>. He has<br />
led HCC to back-to-back 7-4 seasons. In 2008, <strong>Hutchinson</strong> made its first berth in the<br />
Region VI championship game since 1995. Last season, the Blue Dragons culminated<br />
the season with a 22-14 victory over New Mexico Military in the Salt City Bowl. The<br />
2008 Blue Dragons finished 19th in the final NJCAA poll. They were 13th to finish last<br />
season.<br />
Rhoades is 32-21 overall in five years as a collegiate head coach. Rhoades came to<br />
HCC after guiding Fort Scott <strong>Community</strong> <strong>College</strong> to a remarkable one-year turnaround.<br />
Rhoades still has the distinction of being the Blue Dragons’ third all-time leading<br />
tackler with 268 stops.<br />
The Blue Dragons are 17-18 in 35<br />

BLUE DRAGONS’ POSTSEASON HISTORY<br />
This will be the 36th Region VI/Jayhawk Conference playoff game in Blue<br />
Dragon postseason history. HCC has also appeared in 14 junior college bowl games.<br />
HCC qualified for the four-team Region VI playoffs for the third-straight season.<br />
The 2008 Region VI Playoffs were the first postseason games for HCC since 2005,<br />
and the first since Region VI revamped its playoff format before the 2006 season.<br />
Last season, HCC fell to eventual Region VI champion Fort Scott 42-17 in the<br />
semifinals.<br />
<strong>Hutchinson</strong> is 17-18 in postseason games not including bowl games.<br />
<strong>Hutchinson</strong> is 13-0 in playoff games at Gowans Stadium and 4-16 on the road and<br />
0-1 on neutral fields.<br />
HCC went <strong>11</strong>-3 in the quarterfinals before that round was dropped after 2005. The<br />
Dragons are 5-12 in semifinal games after last week’s 24-17 win over Independence.<br />
The Blue Dragons made their first title game appearance since 1995 in 2008 in a<br />
29-14 loss to eventual national champion Butler. It’s was their fourth overall - HCC<br />
is 1-3 in Region VI championship games - also appearing in 1982, 1994 and 1995.<br />
NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP POSSIBILITIES<br />
The Blue Dragons’ road to a possible shot at a national title is twisted, but it obviously<br />
starts with defeating the Grizzlies for the first time since 1997.<br />
In addition to that happening, Trinity Valley must upset No. 2 Navarro <strong>College</strong> on<br />
Sunday.<br />
No. 4 Western Arizona defeated Scottsdale 34-17 on Saturday. The Dragons must<br />
hope a victory over Butler might sway enough voters to move HCC past Arizona<br />
Western in the final regular-season poll that will be released on Tuesday.

<strong>2010</strong> START IS FOURTH BEST<br />
IN BLUE DRAGON HISTORY<br />
HCC’s 28-0 loss to top-ranked Butler on<br />
Oct. 23 snapped the fourth-best start in program<br />
history, which dates back to 1928.<br />
The Blue Dragons started 7-0 start for the<br />
first time since 1969.<br />
Only the 1969, 1948 and 1947 Blue Dragon<br />
teams have had better starts, all three starting their seasons 10-0.<br />
BLUE DRAGONS IN THE NJCAA NATIONAL POLL<br />
HCC’s 24-17 victory over Independence combined with losses by Iowa Western and<br />
Mississippi Gulf Coast meant the Blue Dragons returned in the NJCAA Top 5, coming<br />
in at No. 5 in the latest national rankings.<br />
The Blue Dragons have been ranked in the NJCAA Top 10 for 10 consecutive weeks.<br />
Only twice between 1970 and this season have<br />
the Blue Dragons achieved a Top 5 national football<br />
ranking. In 1996, HCC was ranked as high as<br />
No. 4 and last season the Blue Dragons climbed<br />
to No. 4 before ultimately finishing at No. 13.<br />
The No. 2 ranking - HCC’s high water mark<br />
in <strong>2010</strong> - is the highest NJCAA ranking, it’s not<br />
the highest football ranking in Blue Dragon history.<br />
JC Gridwire had <strong>Hutchinson</strong> ranked No. 1<br />
in the nation for one week in 1996.<br />
This is the second-straight season that HCC<br />
started a season as a nationally ranked football<br />
team. Last season HCC opened the year ranked<br />

13th before climbing all the way to No. 4. The 2009 Blue Dragons closed the season<br />
with a 22-14 victory over New Mexico Military in the Salt City Bowl and finished<br />
ranked 13th in the nation with a 7-4 record.<br />
With this week’s ranking, the Blue Dragons have now been ranked in 15 consecutive<br />
and 23 of the last 25 NJCAA football polls, the longest run as a ranked team since the<br />
mid-1990s, when it spent time in 29 consecutive polls.<br />
RECORD VS. RANKED FOES TURNING AROUND UNDER RHOADES<br />
Before Rion Rhoades came to HCC in 2007, wins against ranked opponents were<br />
rare for Blue Dragon Football.<br />
Between 2000 and 2006, the Blue Dragons were 1-22 against nationally ranked<br />
competition. Under Rhoades, HCC has improved to 4-10 against ranked opponents<br />
after a 41-0 victory over No. 14 Coffeyville on Oct. 30 at Gowans Stadium.<br />
HCC upset No. 6 Coffeyville 21-17 in 1999. That turned out to be the last win over a<br />
ranked team until the 2004 Blue Dragons upended No. 9 Tyler Junior <strong>College</strong> 15-10 in the<br />
2004 Heart of Texas Bowl, which snapped a 16-game losing streak vs. ranked opponents.<br />
Following the bowl win, HCC again lost 12 straight to ranked teams to close out a<br />
1-28 stretch vs. ranked opponents until a 17-0 victory at No. 19 Garden City in the<br />
2008 regular-season finale snapped that skid.<br />
That was also HCC’s first true road victory over a ranked team since the 1995<br />
Jayhawk Conference championship game, a 39-25 win over Garden City.<br />
Following the 2008 win over Garden City, the Blue Dragons knocked off No. 9<br />
Fort Scott 30-17. Last season, HCC defeated No. 16 New Mexico Military 22-14 in<br />
the Salt City Bowl.<br />
HCC COMES FROM BEHIND TO WIN SEMIFINAL VS. INDEPENDENCE<br />
The Blue Dragons rallied from a 10-point third-quarter deficit with 17 unanswered<br />
points to defeat upstart Independence 24-17 last Sunday in the semifinals of the <strong>2010</strong><br />
Region VI playoffs at Gowans Stadium.<br />
HCC improved to 13-0 all-time in postseason games at Gowans Stadium.<br />
The Blue Dragons trailed Independence – a team HCC defeated 55-26 on Sept. 4<br />
at Independence – 10-7 at halftime. The situation looked even bleaker after Lavelle<br />
Maddox gashed the Dragon defense up the middle for a 73-yard touchdown on the<br />
second play of the second half to give the Pirates a 17-7 lead with 14:10 to play in<br />
the third quarter.<br />

BLUE DRAGONS ON THE AIR<br />
Listen to all HCC football games, home and<br />
away, on KHUT-FM (102.9). Rusty Hilst is the<br />
play-by-play ‘voice’ of the Dragons. Rob Dreher<br />
provides analysis and Glen Grunwald reports<br />
from the sidelines. All games can be heard over<br />
the internet at:<br />
www.hutchcc.edu/dragons<br />
<strong>Hutchinson</strong> answered by scoring on three of its next four possessions, taking the<br />
lead on Derek Campbell’s 1-yard touchdown run with 3:06 remaining in the fourth<br />
quarter that capped a 16-play, 80-yard drive.<br />
HCC had trouble getting its own running game started, rushing for a negative-two<br />
yards in the opening quarter. HCC finally got it cranked up with Campbell and Angelo<br />
Pease carrying the load. The Dragons rushed for <strong>11</strong>6 yards in the fourth quarter alone<br />
and finished with 183 yards for the game on 53 carries. The Dragons had 397 total<br />
yards and possessed the ball for 33 minutes, 27 seconds. HCC had one turnover.<br />
Campbell rushed for a team-high 86 yards on 18 carries with one touchdown.<br />
Pease finished with 23 carries and 56 yards.<br />
Freshman quarterback Elliott Alford completed 12 of 20 passes for 214 yards and<br />
two touchdowns and he ran for 43 yards on 10 carries. Cordarrelle Patterson caught<br />
five passes for 101 yards and a 70-yard touchdown. Sophomore John Miller caught<br />
three passes for 77 yards and a 47-yard score.<br />
Independence had two runners surpass the 100-yard mark. Quarterback Brodrick<br />
Waters rushed for 109 yards on 19 carries and a touchdown. Stephen Houston went<br />
over the 1,000-yard mark for the season and finished with 104 yards on 12 carries.<br />
Maddox finished with 79 yards on just three carries.<br />
The Pirates had 338 rushing yards. Waters was 3 of 10 passing for 21 yards and<br />
was sacked once. The Pirates turned the ball over two times.<br />
SCOUTING THE GRIZZLIES<br />
Butler was hands down the team of the last decade in the Jayhawk Conference with<br />
three national championships. Last season, Fort Scott stopped Butler’s run of conference<br />
and regional crowns, but the Grizzlies have returned with a vengeance this season,<br />
winning its first 10 games by an average of 29.1 points per game.<br />
Butler has one of the nation’s top passers in Butler quarterback Zach Mettenberger, a<br />
University of Georgia transfer. Mettenberger is seventh in the NJCAA in passing, completing<br />
56 percent of his passes for 2,130 yards per game with 25 touchdown passes to<br />
only three interceptions.<br />

BLUE DRAGONS ON THE WAY<br />
TO SHATTERING SCORING MARK<br />
With a team record of six games of scoring<br />
40 or more points, the <strong>2010</strong> Blue Dragon<br />
offense is on its way to setting a new team<br />
scoring record.<br />
The Blue Dragons are averaging 38.0 points<br />
per game in <strong>2010</strong>. That’s 2.5 points better than<br />
the 2009 Blue Dragons’ team record of 35.5<br />
points per game.<br />
HCC has scored 380 points through 10<br />
games. That ranks fifth on the all-time Blue<br />
Dragon points list. The 1949 Blue Dragons in 12 games scored 363 points.<br />
DE WILLIAMS JOINS CAREER TOP 5<br />
QUARTERBACK SACKS LIST<br />
All-Jayhawk defensive end Meshak Williams<br />
is picking up right where he left off as a freshman<br />
- chasing quarterbacks.<br />
The 6-3, 235-pound defensive end from<br />
Sylvester, GA is the only starter returning on the<br />
defensive line in <strong>2010</strong>.<br />
With his lone sack against Kilgore in Week 1, Williams joined the career Top 10 in<br />
quarterback sacks. With his two sacks against Garden City last week, Williams is fourth<br />
with 19 sacks. He is only four sacks from No. 2 on the career list.<br />
Williams was third in total tackles in 2009 with 61 stops, including team highs of 25.5<br />
tackles for loss and <strong>11</strong>.5 quarterback sacks. Williams also had nine quarterback hurries<br />
and four forced fumbles.<br />
His <strong>11</strong>.5 quarterback sacks tied for ninth on the Blue Dragon single-season list and<br />
10th on the career list.<br />

PEASE REACHES CAREER TOP 10 FOR TOTAL OFFENSE<br />
Angelo Pease is a luxury that the Blue Dragons haven’t had since record-setting<br />
quarterback Robert Coates played at Gowans Stadium in 2003 and 2004.<br />
Pease, a duel-threat quarterback from Cairo, GA, returns to start at quarterback<br />
after a freshman season that saw him post the ninth-best season in Blue Dragon history<br />

PATTERSON IS NATIONAL SPECIAL TEAMS PLAYER OF THE WEEK<br />
FOR SECOND TIME THIS SEASON<br />
HCC freshman receiver/kick returner Cordarrelle Patterson was named the<br />
NJCAA’s National Football Special Teams Player of the Week<br />
twice this season.<br />
Patterson, a 6-foot-7, 197-pound freshman from Rock Hill, S.C.,<br />
ran a kickoff back 91 yards for a touchdown to start the second<br />
half in HCC’s 41-0 victory over No. 14 Coffeyville last weekend.<br />
It was his second kickoff return for a TD this season.<br />
Patterson also earned national special teams honors on Sept. 14<br />
after a school-record-tying 98-yard kickoff return for a touchdown<br />
in the No. 6 Blue Dragons’ 45-3 victory over Air Force Prep at<br />
Gowans Stadium.<br />
The kickoff return proved to be a major factor in the game. Prep Patterson<br />
had just kicked a long field goal to pull within 7-3 late in the first<br />
quarter and Patterson took the ensuing kickoff 98 yards for a momentum-changing<br />
touchdown that tied the school record of Dan Bythwood, who did it against Highland<br />
in 1999.

DRAGONS MAKE GOWANS TOUGH PLACE FOR OPPOSING TEAMS<br />
Over the years, Gowans Stadium has been a pretty good home for HCC.<br />
Built in 1940, HCC surpassed 200 wins at Gowans with a 45-13 win over<br />
Coffeyville in 2008. HCC is 210-105-8 at Gowans and 245-<strong>11</strong>6-14 at home all-time.<br />
This season marks the fifth year of the renovated Gowans Stadium. At an overall cost<br />
of $5.5 million, Gowans Stadium received a major face lift that included a new FieldTurf<br />
playing surface, new drainage system, track, press box and many other features, now<br />
including the DragonVision video board. Gowans now has a capacity of 5,500.<br />
BLUE DRAGONS REACH PROGRAM WIN NO. 400 IN 2008<br />

earlier this season tied a CFL single-game record with 16 receptions and posted the<br />
fifth-most receiving yardage in CFL history with 261 yards.<br />
+ Former Blue Dragon assistant coach Jeff Leiker is part of the <strong>2010</strong> NJCAA<br />
Football Hall of Fame Induction Class. Leiker was an assistant coach at HCC under<br />

and Coffeyville to earn his Hall of Fame credentials.<br />
+ Freshman defensive back Darren Myles is a transfer from the University of<br />
Tennessee. Myles was rated the No. 9 safety and the No. 133 overall prospect in the<br />
nation by Rivals.com Myles was selected to play in the Under Armour All-America<br />
game.<br />
