The Pigskin Hooligans organization had several graduates among the Class of 2012: Betty Budd, 2011 season Betty graduates with a degree in Criminal Justice. She played in one game for the Hooligans in 2011, the team's Nov 6 tilt against rival Dream Team Plus Krysiak. Betty recorded one reception and played the entire game as the team's only girl. Breannea King, 2011 season Breannea graduates with a dual major in Legal Studies and Public Policy as well as a minor in Psychology. She was "sharper than a drop inside a cactus leaf" on the field this year, leading the team with 6 touchdowns. Breannea also won the Brittany Davis Memorial Award as the team's top girl for her efforts. Karen Greficz, 2011 season Karen graduates with a dual major in Family Life and Psychology as well as a Sociology minor. She scored 4 touchdowns for the Hooligans this season in 3 games of action, earning the team's Sub of the Year Award. Karen also recently said "yes" to a marriage proposal from star Hooligans QB Zach Johnston. Jeni Bollenbacher, 2010 season Jeni graduates Summa Cum Laude with a Pre-Med/Pre-Dental degree. She played in one game for the Hooligans in 2010, catching a touchdown and a 1-point conversion in a 23-19 victory over the rival Gamecocks. Jeni plans to continue on to dental school at Indiana University to pursue her goal of becoming an oral maxillofacial surgeon. Michelle Rink, 2008 season Michelle graduates with a degree in Art with a Printmaking Emphasis along with a minor in Religious Studies. She subbed in for one game in the middle of the 2008 season, catching a 2-point conversion. Ryan Noack, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011 seasons Ryan graduates with a degree in Business Administration with a Management Concentration. He was a member of the Hooligans for at least part of every season during his time at Concordia. His 6' 5" frame made him a prime target in the endzone and he also helped out on defense. Ryan was recently married to long-time Hooligans fan Chelsea (Nowak) Noack, and it is possible he may be back next season as a graduate assistant. Zach Johnston, 2009, 2010, 2011 seasons Zach graduates with a Master's Degree in Organizational Leadership and Administration (OLA). He has been a stalwart quarterback for the Hooligans, winning the team's MVP award the last 2 seasons. Zach's speed scrambling from the pocket combined with clutch passing ability make him a key asset to the team. Hooligan fans still eagerly await word on his status for next year. If he is gone, he will leave a Peyton Manning-like legacy at the QB spot that will leave the team searching for its Andrew Luck. The Pigskin Hooligans would like to congratulate all of the 2012 graduates on their hard work in earning their degree. The team would like to wish all of its alumni success in their future endeavors. ROLL HOOLIGANS!
