Four decades since that glorious season, the 1981 Concordia Football team continues to reserve a spot in program lore. The Bulldogs went 9-1, won the NIAC title and finished with a No. 12 national ranking.
Concordia and Dakota Wesleyan will meet on the gridiron for the 22nd time when the ball is kicked off on homecoming Saturday. The Bulldogs hope to avenge last season's loss in Mitchell, S.D.
A 1-1 week leads into matchups this week against Midland and Dakota Wesleyan. In early conference action, the Bulldogs have earned two shutout wins while being defeated by Northwestern, 1-0.
Two rematches from last season's GPAC tournament championship run are coming up this week as the Bulldogs will take on Midland and Dakota Wesleyan. Concordia is coming off two draws in a row.
By way of shooting a 298, the Bulldogs reside in fourth place following the first day of action at the 2021-22 GPAC Championships. Ivan Yabut (71) and Jack Williams (74) led the way individually.
After coming within an eyelash of extending their win streak to six, the Bulldogs are prepping for a short road trip to No. 1 Midland on Wednesday. The Warriors won in straight sets in Seward earlier this month.
While attempting to defend their 2020 conference championship, the Bulldogs placed second at the Prairie Circuit Conference Championships (Sept. 24-26) while led by HOA individual champion Wyatt Hambly.
Concordia made a 21-stroke improvement as a team moving from day one to day two at the Prairie Wolves Invite hosted by Nebraska Wesleyan. Seward's own Kendra Placke made a run at a title and placed second.
Concordia came up empty on two early red zone trips and surrendered 21 points off turnovers to No. 2 Northwestern on Saturday (Sept. 25). The result was a 31-7 victory for the Red Raiders.
All-American Mario Ybarra and GPAC champion Jacob Telles return to form the backbone of a Concordia Wrestling program now led by first-year Head Coach Myron Bradbury. Bradbury has the task of bringing along a young team.
Four starters, including First Team All-GPAC star Taysha Rushton, return for a Concordia Women's Basketball program coming off an appearance in the NAIA national quarterfinals last season. Depth will be a strength.

A traumatic injury suffered as an eighth grader gave Wyatt Hambly a greater perspective on life. It also steered him away from contact sports and down a path that led to competitive shooting and a college career at Concordia.
Gage Smith made an head-turning transformation from sophomore to junior season while becoming an all-conference player. Even better things could be in store in 2021-22 for Gage, who now has his brother alongside him.
