Daniel Boone grad Nate Millard and Conrad Weiser grad Adam Kase are among three Kutztown University football players named the Division 2 Conference Commissioner’s Association (D2CCA) All-Super Region 1 Teams.

Millard and Golden Bears linebacker Tyler Whary, an Upper Perkiomen grad, are first-team selections; Kase is a second-team pick.

After an outstanding freshman season that saw Millard average 40.2 yards per punt and land All-PSAC East second-team honors, he’s been even better as a sophomore. He continues to lead the PSAC and Super Region and ranks ninth nationally at 43.4 yards per punt.

Millard has punted 51 times and placed 13 inside the opponent’s 20-yard line. Twelve of his kicks have gone 50-plus yards. He’s also sent 31 of his 64 kickoffs for touchbacks and connected on his only field goal attempt, from 44 yards.

Millard was an All-PSAC East First Team selection this fall.

Kase, an All-PSAC East first-team offensive lineman, has started 22 games over the last two seasons, including all 13 this season. The Golden Bears rank fourth in SR1 in fewest tackles for loss allowed (4.23 per game), fifth in passing yards per completion (14.62), ninth in fewest sacks allowed (1.31 per game) 14th in rushing offense (168.0).

Whary leads the team in total tackles (78), quarterback hurries (eight) and is tied for the team lead in tackles for loss (8.5).

Kutztown’s three all-region selections were tied for the fourth-most of any team behind only Slippery Rock (seven), Tiffin (five) and Charleston (four).

The PSAC garnered the most picks of any conference with 20, while the Great Midwest Athletic Conference (GMAC) had 13, the Mountain East Conference (MEC) 12 and Northeast-10 six.

The Golden Bears have advanced to the national quarterfinals for the second time in three years and will try to bring home their first Super Region 1 title in program history when they face No. 15 Slippery Rock on the road Saturday, Dec. 2, at noon.
