Mavericks Place 9 on All-NCC Team
Nine Mavericks, including most valuable offensive lineman Ben Hochstein, have been named to the all-North Central Conference team by a vote of the league's coaches. In addition, UNO's Pat Behrns was named the coach of the year for a fourth time.
Hochstein, a 6-4, 286-pound junior from Hartington, Neb., is one of five Mavericks on the first team offense. The others include senior lineman Randall Jantzen, Plymouth, Neb.; senior tight end Zac Herold, Cedar Rapids, Iowa; senior tailback Kyle Kasperbauer, St. Paul, Neb., and junior quarterback Zach Miller, Wahoo, Neb. Herold is a three-time selection and Kasperbauer a two-time pick.
On defense, senior outside linebacker Kenny Onatolu, Papillion, was picked for the third time in his career. The others selected were senior linebackers Bobby Danenhauer and Antwain Woods, both from Omaha, and sophomore defensive back Reed Taylor, Oshkosh, Wis.
Two other Mavericks were named to the league's second team defensive unit, Tarvis Banks, senior lineman from Lincoln, and junior defensive back Randy Kush from Gretna.
Offensive lineman Jake Krause, Omaha, wide receiver Troy Kush, Gretna, and senior punter Don Grafton, Alexandria, La., earned honorable mention.
