Battlin' Bears Sweep POTW Honors
Sophomore quarterback Trent Nobach, senior defensive back Ty Reynolds, and senior defensive back/kicker/punter Wyatt Brusven all took home Erck Hotels/Frontier Conference Player of the Week accolades after the Battlin' Bears 20-19 victory last weekend. 

Recap: 20-19 Victory over #19 Dickinson State
After falling into a quick 13-0 deficit in the first quarter, the Battlin' Bears shook the nerves of a new season and locked in on both sides of the ball. In his third collegiate start, Trent Nobach had his best game as a Battlin' Bear, throwing 27/39 for 284 yards and two TDs. The Rocky defense continued to do what they did so well in 2022, forcing turnovers, led by an interception and a fumble recovery from senior Ty Reynolds. While the Blue Hawks had a chance to tie or take the lead in the closing seconds of the game, the Battlin' Bears defense snuffed a two point attempt to earn their first victory of the season.

Offensive Notes
- The offense spread the ball out nicely in their winning effort, with eight players gaining 20 or more all purpose yards last Saturday. 
- Sophomore Trent Nobach began the second half with 13 straight completions, ending the half 18/21 through the air.
- Nobach ranks 2nd in the NAIA so far in completions (27), 5th in completion percentage (69.2), and 7th in passing yards (284)
- The Battlin' Bears offensive line held strong last week, allowing only one sack to a defense that averaged over three sacks a game in 2022. 
           
Defensive notes
- Senior linebacker Prince Johnson led all players last week with 12 total tackles, tied for 9th most in the NAIA last week. 
- Senior lineman Mason Harrison recorded the only sack for Rocky last weekend, the first of his collegiate career which knocked the Blue Hawks well out of field goal range in the fourth quarter.
- The Battlin' Bears defense shut the Lights out in both matchups during the 2022 season.
