FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

           FINDLAY, OHIO - Siena Heights University, located in Adrian, Mich., was accepted as the 18^th member of the Mid-States Football Association Tuesday at the organization's regular spring meeting held at Olivet Nazarene University in Kankakee, Ill.

Kris Kemp, a junior wide receiver for the Taylor University football team, received a unique opportunity to view the game through a coach's eyes as part of the NFL Pro Bowl weekend this past January.

"For me, I was on the other side of the table," Kemp said of his position as a graduate assistant coach in the first ever "Team USA vs. The World" Pro Bowl game. "Usually I'm sitting in meetings just taking notes, but now I was teaching it."

The game pitted a group of players aged 19 and under from outside of the United States spanning five continents ("The World") vs. USA Football's 2010 Junior National Team ("Team USA") on Saturday of the NFL Pro Bowl weekend following the AFC and NFC team practices.

MOUNT PLEASANT - After reviewing a possible move to NCAA Division III, Iowa Wesleyan College has announced it will remain a member of the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) as well as the Midwest Collegiate Conference and the Mid-States Football Association.
