Already ranked 20th at the time in the NAIAls Division 11 football poll, South- western climbed to 19th, and headed north once again to face previously ranked Ster- ling. The closest the Builders came to scoring all day came seven seconds away from de- feat, as Southwestern dropped a 7-0 deci- sion. Reserve sophomore quarterback Kelly Glock took the snap, back-peddled and fired the ball to Fowler, who snatched the pass at the Sterling five yard line. Fowler, wrapped up by a Warrior defender, stretched and dove for the goal line, only to come up a foot and seven points short with no time left. Apparently unsettled and unnerved by their performance at Sterling, Southwest- ern came back to Winfield taking their frustrations outon McPherson. The visiting Bulldogs never realized what hit them as the Builders rolled up over 500 yards in KELLY GLOCK 021 secs visions of utouchdown passll dance in his head as he looks downlield for a Builder receiver. defense forces another Aggie turnover, stopped Panhandle State total offense. Included in that total was 179 yards rushing by defensive back turned running back junior Jeff Moore. OlDear came off the bench to add 111 yards of his own and the result was a 55-13 whitewash- ing. With no intention of letting up, and a potential Sunflower Bowl bid awaiting, Southwestern rode into North Newton to finish the regular season against Bethel. Al- though north winds were cold, the Builder offense warmed up to thrash the Threshers 32-14. Immediately after the game, South- western was offered the chance to come home one more time in 1982 as one of the teams in the inaugural NAIA Sunflower Bowlea contest conceived and coordinated by area boosters. The Builders accepted the invitation unanimously. Facing nationa1ly ranked Panhandle State University of Oklahoma, SC entered the game as a slight underdog. The visiting Aggies boasted the number one defense in the country among all NAIA schools, while the Builders maintained top defensive sta- tus in the KCAC.

Fresh- man Mike Magee added a 24-yarder of his own in the second period and Pan- handle State found themselves down by six at the half. After Richardson forced a safety in the third quarter to push the Builder ad vantage to 8-0, Calvin scampered five yards to close out the period and the scoring. Mageels point after made it 15, 0, SC, and the Builders held on to finish the season with an upset and the first Sunflower Bowl title. Senior Tom Audley received South- for his performance in the post-season classic. For their efforts, 15 Moundbuilders made the All-KCAC team, while four others were named to the NAIAls All- District 10 team. Calvin, Audley and senior offensive lineman Anton Stewart achieved NAIA All-American status as well in 1982, with Audley making the Kodak All-American College Division list as well. The Builders finished with a 9-2 re- cord overall in l82, 8e1 in the KCAC, and perhaps more importantly, caught a glimpse of greater things to come in the future.
