He has guided the Bearcats to one third-place andone second-place nish in his six seasons since

becoming the Bearcat skipper.

tournament berths. In 2003, the teams 36 wins was the second-highest victory total in schoolhistory behind the record 42 wins in 1989.

Coach Loes overall record stands at 359-308 in

13 years as a head coach. At Northwest, Loe hascompiled a 203-174 overall record.

He also was the head coach at Missouri ValleyCollege for three seasons where he led the Vikingsto their rst HAAC tournament appearance. Loes

coaching career began as an assistant at NorthDakota State.

He was a dominating pitcher at Valley City StateUniversity in Valley City, N.D., and holds many

of the schools pitching records such as wins in

a season, career wins (28), strikeouts in a season(121), and strikeouts in a career (380). Loe led

the nation in strikeouts in 1987 with 121. He also

was a standout quarterback at Valley City State.

Loe was inducted into the Valley City State Hallof Fame in October 2001.

At the culmination of his college career, Loe was

drafted by the Seattle Mariners in the 26th roundof the 1989 amateur draft. He played three sea-

SEASON OUTLOOK

6

will provide Northwest with a utility player who can play rst or third

base and will probably see time on the mound. Junior transfer MtchLooms (Topeka, Kan.), another utility player, could see time at DH

or in the ineld.

Outfeld

It will be an entire new look in the outeld this season after losing

Matt Coons, Will Newland and Tristan Stewart to graduation. Coons(.415) and Newland (.385) were the teams top two hitters and their

sticks will be tough to replace. Stewarts bat (.294) tied for a team lead

in doubles with 17.

Coach Loe will replace the entire outeld with mostly transfers.

Juniors Todd Schonhoff(Smithville, Mo.) in left eld and DrewDeMott (Maryville, Mo.) in right eld. Schonhoff transferred from

Hutchinson Community College (Kan.) and DeMott came from

Highland Community College (Kan.). Sophomore Chrs Benham(Blue Springs, Mo.) and junior Jake Bradshaw (Kansas City, Mo.)

will swap time in center to start the season. Benham played two sea-sons at Southern (La.) University while Bradshaw played two seasons

at Kansas City Kansas Community College. Freshman Tim Avants(St. Charles, Mo.) will be the only outelder on the roster who is not

a transfer.

Ptchn

Northwest only lost two pitchers that logged more than 20 inningsin Mark Lewis (52.0) and Travis Fouts (43.2). Lewis had a team-best

3.63 ERA and walked only eight batters all season. Fouts started

nines games, the second most of any pitcher, and threw a ve-hit,nine-inning shutout in his last start against Central Missouri (5/5).

Seven pitchers return to the staff from the 2006 season, six of whom

are seniors. The returners had a combined 17-11 record last year led

by senior Brian Lamers seven wins. Seniors Lamer, Justn Hldeb-rand (St. Joseph, Mo.), Matt Kelly (Maryville, Mo.), andJosh Norrs

(Chillicothe, Mo.) will return to the staff as starters. Cody Snclar(Indianola, Iowa) and Zach Weston (New Franklin, Mo.) will bereturning to the bullpen again this season, along with closer Brett

Whittle.

We added a lot of quality to our pitching staff, Loe commented

on the four transfers and two freshman that were added to his pitch-ing staff. The four transfers come from Southwest Baptist, DannyMalone (Blue Springs, Mo.); St. Louis Community College, JoelEpley (St. Louis, Mo.); University of Missouri, Bret Harvel (Lees

Summit, Mo.); and Maple Woods Community College (Mo.), EvanNckell (Smithville, Mo.). The two freshmen areAdam Swtzer (In-

dependence, Mo.), a true freshman, and Ben Stedronsky (Lincoln,Neb.), a redshirt freshman.

Redshrts

Coach Loe will redshirt 11 players this season. Andy Bern (Wa

hoo, Neb.), Trevor Conner (Creston, Iowa) and Dustn Sandler(St. Joseph, Mo.) are three pitchers that will redshirt. Two inelders

Alex Brown (Ankeny, Iowa) and Ryan Rush (St. Joseph, Mo.), wil wait another year. Myles Antle (St. Joseph, Mo.), Chance Allen

(Waynesville, Mo.) and Clay Bollner (Webb City, Mo.) are all catch-ers. Bret Harper (Liberty, Mo.), Brandon Krsh (Papillion, Neb.and Casey Schultz (St. Joseph, Mo.) round out the redshirt class of2007 as outelders.
