The Panthers demolished them easily with a 16-0 shutout victory. This advanced them into the semi-finals of the State Playoffs for the first time in history. Things were getting heated up and the Panthers were on a roll. They barely beat Wellington 16-14 for a shot to play for state crown. <br>The State Championship game against 12-0 undefeated Holton, was Concordia's final test to see if they had what it took to wear the number one crown in the state. They faced number one ranked Holton who had outscored its three opponents in the playoffs earlier this season with a combined score of 128-20. Senior linebacker/fullback, John Hake reports,  I think that is one of our greatest weapons. We don't ever get intimidated. The Panthers played with fury. Dreams and goals were on the verge of becoming a reality. <br>The 6-2, 190 pounder Josh Williams, was the workhorse for Concordia. He had 31 carries for 282 yards. Glimpses of John Hakes eighth grade photo flashed through William's mind with the words  1999 State Champs written on the back. Williams wanted more than anything for that dream to come true, and a broken hand wasn't going to stand in his way. The Panthers plI wrote a personal recommendation for Joel to Southeast Missouri State University in Cape Girardeau, and that helped him receive a partial scholarship. Joel played so well for the school that the partial scis sash with his arrow to anchor it to the earth and then stand his ground to the death.<br>  We contacted the tribe, recalls Coach Schultz,  and explained what we wanted to do. Shawn Little Bear told us it would be a great honor, and also warned us that we better know what we were doing, because the title Dog Soldier is coveted and should only be given to a special and chosen few. He helped us induct the first eleven Dog Soldiers.<br> A Dog Soldier came and spoke at the ceremony.  It was very emotional, says Schultz, who had goose bumps handing out the new Dog Soldier jerseys.<br>  It was a great ceremony, says Coach Forchtner.  You could tell these guys loved it. Here were these big, strong, tough macho guys with tears of pride welling in their eyes. It was something to see. <br> The jerseys carry a responsibility, one that each Soldier has to earn.  They must maintain their level of play or lose their Dog Soldier title and relinquish their jersey. If someone hustles or outplays them on the field, the jersey goes to them, says Coach Schultz.  It s taken quite seriously. <br><br>Family and Tradition<br><br> Historically, many N
