BIG WEEKEND FOR Javelina athletics. 

The football team continued its undefeated season with a one-point squeaker over 

long-time rival Texas A&M-Commerce. 

The volleyball team upset Midwestern State, 3-1, in Kingsville, handing the 

Mustangs their first Lone Star Conference loss. The Javelinas had beaten Cameron in 

a conference match Thursday night before 850 fans in the Steinke Center.. 

And Javelina cross country runner Kiya Dandena won the Incarnate Word 

invitational individual championship, beating 73 runners from Division I and Division 

II schools. 

All is in order in the collegiate sports world. 

WHY WOULD ANYONE expect anything but a wild game when the Javelina 

and Lion football teams got together last weekend. 

It’s been that way since the first game of the series was played in 1930. 

Some of the biggest Javelina games, and most disappointing contests, have come 

against the Lions. 

The Javelinas have had an edge on the Lions in the series since the early 1990s. 

The Javelinas have won 14 of the last 17 matchups and last weekend’s Javelina 

victory came before the Lions’ homecoming crowd. 

It’s difficult not to wonder what lies in store in the 2010 game that will be played 

in Javelina Stadium. 

THE CHENNAULT CUP is back in circulation. 

The Javelinas brought the trophy home on the bus after the victory over Texas 

A&M-Commerce Saturday afternoon. 

The Cup was initiated in 1990 and originally went to the winner of the Lions 

game with Livingston (Ala.). But that pairing lasted only two years. 

In 1992 the sponsoring Commerce Lions Club International decided to award it 

annually to the winner of the Javelina-Lion contest. 

The trophy has begun to grow tusks, finding a home in the TAMUK trophy case. 

It has been in Kingsville for 14 of the 17 years it has been awarded in the series. 

The teams didn’t meet in 2005. 

It is named for Lt. Gen. Claire Chennault of Flying Tigers fame. 

Chennault was a native of Commerce and the trophy was initiated on what would 

have been his 100 th birthday. 

Chennault Cup Games 

1992 – Javelinas 17, Lions 10 2001 - Lions 30, Javelinas 24 

1993 – Javelinas 28, Lions 3 2002 - Javelinas 37, Lions 15 



1996 – Javelinas 35, Lions 28 2005 - No game 


1998 – Javelinas 42, Lions 18 2007 - Lions 24, Javelinas 7 

1999 – Lions 14, Javelinas 10 2008 - Javelinas 35, Lions 0 


NOT ONLY DID Texas A&M-Commerce celebrate homecoming last weekend 

but it also inducted six individuals and a team into its athletic Hall of Fame. 

One of the inductees was Tem Miller of Kingsville. 

Miller was a member of the 1965 Lion golf team that won the NAIA national 

championship. 

The 1965 squad was inducted last weekend.

JAVELINA FANS HAVE been doing a great job voting for head football coach 

Bo Atterberry as coach of the year in the Liberty Mutual poll. 

They’ve had the Javelina coach in the lead most of the time since the voting 

opened a month ago. 

The voting continues until December. 

Now Javelinas are being asked to vote for former football players in another 

balloting. 

The University Interscholastic League is celebrating its centennial and the state 

organization is selecting the top Texas athletes who have played football, volleyball, 

boys and girls basketball, baseball and track and field during the past 100 years. 

Currently, the top athletes are being selected in football and there are four 

Javelinas on the ballot. 

These are running back Johnny Bailey (Houston Yates), defensive back Darrell 

Green (Houston Jones), defensive lineman John Randle (Hearne) and offensive 

lineman Gene Upshaw (Robstown). 

Go to www.uil100.org/vote.php and click on the “vote now for the football allcentury 

team” line. 

The deadline for voting is Nov. 7. 

Selection of the top basketball, baseball and track and field athletes will come 

later in the school year. 

RIGO MORALES, WHO played for the Javelina football team in 2004-06, is 

with the Las Vegas Locomotives of the United Football League. 

The league is in its inaugural season and has teams in California, New York and 

Florida as well as Nevada. 

Morales’ coach is Jim Fassel, who was the NFL coach of the year in 2000 after 

leading the New York Giants to the Super Bowl. 

Morales is from Brownsville and played at Pace High School. 

A MEMORIAL SERVICE was held for former Javelina quarterback Randy 

Johnson last weekend in San Antonio. 

Johnson, a first-round draft pick of the Atlanta Falcons, died three weeks ago in 

Brevard, N.C. 

Among those in attendance was Mary Steinke, wife of former Javelina football 

coach Gil Steinke. 

Johnson played his four years at Texas A&I under Steinke. 

MIKE ADAMS, THE former Javelina pitcher with the San Diego Padres, had 

an outstanding season in the majors. 

The Sinton native appeared in 37 games and pitched 37 innings. He had a 0.73 

earned run average. 

He walked eight and struck out 45. 

Another former Javelina, Andrew Sweet, closed the season with the Southern 

Illinois Miners with a .247 batting average. He had 10 doubles and two homeruns. 

Sweet, a catcher, had a .306 slugging percentage and a .398 batting average 

with runners on base. 

THE NCAA FINALLY released its first regional football poll last week, midway 

through the season. 

And even after taking six weeks to get the first regional tabulation put together, 

there were questionable aspects of the listing. 

In the Super Regional Four poll, the Javelinas were ranked No. 6 despite being 

No. 7 in one of the national polls and No. 9 in the other. (Continued on Page 4)

Northwest Missouri, Missouri Western and Washburn (Kan.) were all ranked 

above the Javelinas and each had a loss. 

But if you think the Regional Four poll is strange, in Super Regional Three, Grand 

Valley (Mich.) State, No. 1 in everyone’s national poll, was only second in the region. 

Minnesota State-Mankato was ranked No. 1 in Region Three. 

LONE STAR CONFERENCE notes: 

…..Kelvin Thompson, West Texas A&M running back, has been suspended from 

the team for the remainder of the season for violating departmental and university 

policy. 

A WT spokesperson said Thompson’s status for next season will be evaluated in 

the spring. 

He was averaging more than 100 yards a game prior to his suspension last week. 

In an earlier game with the Javelinas, Thompson rushed for 70 yards and scored 

the Buffs’ first touchdown. He caught three passes for 13 yards. 

…..Darren Schneider was named the men’s track and field coach at Texas A&M- 

Commerce last week. 

Schneider has spent the past 10 years as head men’s track and field coach at 

Wisconsin-Whitewater. 

He was at Wisconsin-Platteville from 1996-99 and before that was on the staffs 

at Truman (Mo.) State and Oklahoma State. 

NCAA DIVISION II notes: 

…..The Great Lakes Valley Conference has imposed a postseason ban on the 

Southern Indiana men’s basketball program for 2009-10. 

The ban includes the GLVC and NCAA Division II postseason tournaments. 

The ban comes after the school self-reported violations that include academic 

indiscretions and providing and paying for transportation for student-athletes. 

The violations came under a coach who has resigned. 

All victories from the 2008-09 season will be “vacated” and funds received from 

the NCAA from the institution’s participation in the 2009 Division II regional playoffs 

will be returned. 

The NCAA still hasn’t ruled on the violations. 

Southern Indiana was 27-7 last year and reached the regional playoffs for the 

sixth time in eight years. 

…..The Nebraska-Kearney women’s soccer team set a Division II attendance 

record when 3,227 watched a recent match in Kearney. 

This is the first season for soccer at the school. 

The previous mark had been 2,004, set by Central Oklahoma and Dallas Baptist in 

2007. 

The coach at Nebraska-Kearney is Mike Munch, who was coach at Texas A&M- 

Commerce when it started its program. 

The Antelopes drew crowds of 200-300 for its preseason scrimmages. 

…..Maryville (Mo.) will reinstate men’s and women’s indoor and outdoor track 

and field beginning in 2010-11. 

Maryville, which is in the process of reclassifying its program from Division III 

to Division II, will be a member of the Great Lakes Valley Conference when it 

becomes eligible for DII competition. 

Track and field was established as a varsity program in 2005-06 but was 

suspended in the spring of 2008 due to low participation. 

Pregame Talk 

Renee Hietbrink, Javelina women’s softball assistant coach, addresses the 

team prior to a scrimmage this fall. The Javelinas will play three scrimmage 

games Saturday at Hubert Field.

Pink Replaces Blue & Gold For a Night 

Fans joined the Javelina volleyball team and Christus Spohn Hospital Kleberg in promoting breast cancer awareness 

at a volleyball match last week in the Steinke Physical Education Center. A crowd of 850 attended the match. 

The Javelinas celebrate a victory over Cameron. 

The team greets its opponent, the Cameron Aggies, prior to the match. 

Jess Morris, junior from Goliad, 

gets a dig in last week’s “Dig Pink” 

match with Cameron. She is a 

sister of Javelina men’s basketball 

player Adam Morris. 

The players presented pink carnations to fans prior to the “Dig Pink” match.
